Authors: Andrade Rodriguez Ricardo , Goenaga Peña Jesús
Published: March 2020

Este artículo forma parte de los resultados de dos investigaciones: la investigación Desarrollo Moral, Patrones de Apego y Función Ejecutiva, realizada en convenio entre la Universidad de San Buenaventura y el Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje (SENA) de Colombia; y la investigación Revisión sistemática sobre juicio moral en toma de decisiones morales (2005-2015), realizada en el programa de la Maestría en Psicología de la Universidad de Antioquia. El objetivo de este artículo es dar cuenta de la revisión documental que sirvió para orientar ambos trabajos investigación y el horizonte interpretativo de los datos recogidos y sobre todo del mismo fenómeno de Desarrrollo Moral. Se encuentra, de un lado una importante carencia de estudios de habla latina, especialmente en Colombia, país donde se realizó la investigación y que es sensible al tema dadas sus condiciones ya antiguas de conflicto interno. De otro, se encontró que los cuatro tópicos más relevantes para los estudiosos del tema, además del genérico de Desarrollo Moral son: las Emociones Morales, El Self Moral, las relaciones existentes entre patrones de crianza con Desarrollo Moral y la Toma de decisiones morales.

Optimal financial performance is a company goal that can be achieved through the implementation of financial management functions. One way to improve company performance in addition to financial decisions is to implement good corporate governance. This study aims to determine the effect of financial management decisions and good corporate governance, partially or simultaneously on financial performance with the size of the company as moderating manufacturing in Indonesia. The number of samples is 37 manufacturing companies that routinely publish financial statements for the period 2014-2017. Using multiple linear regression analysis and moderation techniques, the results of the study show that partially funding decisions and good corporate governance significantly affect financial performance. Only investment decisions that have a significant partial effect on the size of the company. Investment decisions, funding decisions, dividend policies and good corporate governance simultaneously have a significant effect on both company size and financial performance. And the size of the company does not moderate the influence of financial decisions and good corporate governance on financial performance.

SUNAT PEREMPUAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF FIKIH
Authors: Abbas Afifi Fauzi , Eliza Mona
Published: March 2020

In 2008 the MUI issued a fatwa related to female circumcision, namely fatwa number 94 "Fatwa on Prohibition of Circumcision Against Women", which states that the legal status of female circumcision is makrumah, something that is considered good and recommended. In many studies it was found that female circumcision is just a tradition, not a religious order. In Indonesia, 28% of female circumcision practices are only symbolic, 49% are done in the form of slicing or stabbing and 22% in the form of cutting. This means that 71% of the practice leads to endangering women, mainly because it is not carried out by medical personnel and uses tools that are not sterile. The Hanafi, Maliki and Hanbali schools place women's circumcision laws in the sunnah or makrumah / glory laws for women. The Syafii School believes that female circumcision is obligatory as a law for men. Although the various Islamic scholars have different opinions about the law of female circumcision, none of them prohibits the practice of female circumcision.

Moreover, there are some efforts to destroy the inheritance law arrangement in islam. By the opinion that the division of inheritance that for son is equal with two daughters is a form of injustice toward woman. Therefore, it is allowed to create modification for Islamic inheritance law. This paper tries to explain the justice concept in Islamic inheritance law. By the conclusion that, First ; the definition of Islamic inheritance law has to follow the determination by Allah SWT and it does not mean that equal division is equal quantity. Second; in the case of inheritance division in islam, it contains the universal justice according to theology, economic and social.

The Ottoman dynasty was a dynasty that was quite involved in the development and spread of Islam in Asia, Africa and Europe. The Ottoman dynasty emerged in Turkey when the Islamic world suffered a setback, namely the second period of the Abbasid dynasty, estimated in the 9th century AD. In the development of da'wah in Turkey, the strategy used is not to force in da'wah and to show an attitude of tolerance, through this da'wah strategy in Turkey can run well. In addition to this strategy we must know about the character and character of the Turkish people, namely discipline and obedience to the rules in force. Da'wah activities and developments in Turkey are supported by Catholicism. During his time, Dakwan's activities during the Ottoman period were able to bring Islam to various parts of the Balkan countries such as Bosni, Serbia and Crete.

Disclosure about the formation and development of the Islamic empire in the archipelago, including the underdeveloped field of study. Though the history of the empire in the archipelago is very much to be discussed, both large and small that affect the form of local Islamic traditions and culture. Writing about the sultanate of the archipelago is very little, this is because of limited resources such as local texts, tambo, chronicles, saga, genealogies and so forth. Moreover, an empire in the archipelago that is not too large, will increasingly difficult to express its history and development. Therefore, the study of the Islamic Sultanate in Jambi is a rather neglected study. In fact, according to Azyumardi Azra Jambi is one of the regions in the archipelago that was first visited by Muslim traders from Arabia. The history of the empire in the archipelago is full of tension and conflict, this has made it easier for Western Imperialism to colonize the archipelago. This is not because of its enormous military strength but because of the internal weaknesses of the sultanates in the archipelago who often wage war, intrigue, and try to master each other. One by one the sultanates in the archipelago were controlled, and Western Imperialism took huge profits through the trade routes controlled by the kingdom. The sultanate who was too violent in giving resistance was threatened to be abolished by Western Imperialism.

Published: March 2020

Diante da importância econômica e social da produção de fibras no Brasil e no mundo, é relevante antever os possíveis impactos do clima futuro na produtividade de algodão em uma região onde a cultura é representativa. O presente estudo teve como objetivo simular cenários agrícolas futuros para a cultura do algodão, com base em projeções de mudanças climáticas, para o município de Barreiras, BA. Para isso, o modelo DSSAT/CROPGRO-COTTON foi calibrado com as características genéticas da cultivar CNPA ITA 90. A produtividade foi simulada para os últimos 30 anos (1980 - 2010), representando a produtividade no clima atual e, a fim de representar a produtividade em 2050, foram realizadas simulações para o período de 2040 - 2069 para seis cenários climáticos futuros gerados a partir da metodologia descrita pelo Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP). A produtividade média nos cenários futuros variou de 4.652 kg ha-1 a 5.389 kg ha-1, apresentando um expressivo aumento nos seis cenários estudados, porém indicando maior risco climático para o cultivo do algodoeiro nesta região.

A comparative study of Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) and Simple Random Sampling (SRS) in agricultural studies: A case study on the walnut tree
Authors: ALTİN YAVUZ Arzu , ÖZ Derya
Published: March 2020

Sampling methods are used extensively in agricultural researches. In the sampling process, taking into consideration the characteristics of the target population and the use of a sampling method which can best represent the population make the estimates more sensitive and lead better estimations for the population. Several sampling methods have been developed for this purpose. In particular, Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) is a method that is used where it is difficult to measure all the units in the population, but it is easy and cheap to sort units in a small-sized population. In this study, we used the data based on the type of walnut tree leafage, Şebin, from a walnut garden established in the province of Giresun. The data was analyzed by using RSS designs and Simple Random Sampling (SRS) method to determine the mean estimators of the population. Finally, estimation performances of the SRS and RSS methods were compared accordingly. The study also emphasizes the advantage the RSS method requires fewer examples than the SRS method.

The new psychology of expert witness procedure
Authors: Chin Jason , San Roque Mehera , McFadden Rory
Published: March 2020

Can procedural reforms effectively regulate expert witnesses? Expert procedures, like codes of conduct and court appointed experts, remain controversial among academics and courts. Much of this discussion, however, has been divorced from the science of the reforms. In this article, the authors draw from emerging work in behavioural ethics and metascience that studies procedures analogous to those that are being used in courts. This work suggests that procedures can be effective, as they have been in science, if directed at key vulnerabilities in the research and reporting process. The authors’ analysis of the metascientific and behavioural ethical literature also suggests several nuances in how expert evidence procedure ought to be designed and employed. For instance, codes of conduct require specific and direct wording that experts cannot interpret as ethically permissive. Further, drawing on a recent case study, courts have an important role to play in establishing a culture that takes codes as serious ethical responsibilities, and not simply pro forma.
Framing, Context, and the Misperception of Black-White Wealth Inequality
Authors: Kraus Michael W. , Hudson Sa-kiera Tiarra Jolynn , Richeson Jennifer
Published: March 2020

In one large-scale experiment using US respondents on MTurk (N = 2,899), we studied how subtle differences in framing and context impact estimates of the Black-White wealth gap. Across our 10 different experimental manipulations of framing and context, respondents consistently overestimated Black family wealth relative to White wealth. There was also substantial variation in the magnitude of these wealth estimates, which ranged from a low of 35 to a high of over 60 percentage points across the conditions. Overestimates were largest when respondents were asked about the Black-White wealth gap at both past and present time points and closest to accuracy when respondents used images as pictorial comparisons for White and Black wealth. Overall, while framing and context certainly affect the magnitude of misperception, the tendency to overestimate racial wealth equality is extremely robust.
The development of collaborative parenting styles across high school: Consequences for youth mental health
Authors: Ciarrochi Joseph , Parker Philip , Duineveld Jasper , Sahdra Baljinder K.
Published: March 2020

Background. How are parents perceived by their children to develop during the high school years, and what are the consequences of this development for youth well-being? Methods. Each year from Grade 8 to 12, we administered measures of parenting style and well-being across 16 schools (Time 1 M age = 13.7, SD age = .45; N = 2043; 49.6% Male). Utilizing a nonparametric algorithm for clustering developmental trajectories, we identified three profiles of change: a Stable profile (61.6%); a Collaborative-to-Coercive (19.3%) profile that involved a decrease in authoritative parenting (democratic guidance) and parental monitoring, and an increase in psychological control (coercive guidance); and a Coercive-to-Collaborative profile showing the opposite pattern (19.1%). Results. Parenting development profile uniquely predicted youth well-being, mental health, and self-esteem. This was the case even after controlling for average parenting style across highschool. The only youth who did not diminish in well-being across highschool where those who believed their parents to become increasingly collaborative. Parents with higher socio-economic status tended to become less collaborative and more coercive. Conclusion. We discuss the stage-fit model, and the benefit of parents developing their parenting style to match their young person’s increasing need for autonomy.
Non-Ordinary Mental Expressions (NOMEs): clues on the nature of the human mind
Authors: FACCO ENRICO , Pederzoli Luciano , Tressoldi Patrizio
Published: March 2020

The aim of this paper is to describe some ostensibly odd, Non-Ordinary-Mental Expressions (NOMEs), that have been considered implausible, illusory or hallucinatory phenomena, possible symptoms of disorders of the neurological or psychological functioning. They include a large variety of phenomena, encompassing hearing voices, seeing presences, communication with non-incarnated entities (including channeling), transpersonal experiences, out-of-body experiences, near-death-experiences, previous life memories, presentiments and precognitions, seeing at distance, mind interactions at a distance, mind-matter interactions at distance. We think that individuals experiencing NOMEs should not feel like they were outsiders or diseased; they should feel free to talk about their uncommon experiences and be listen to with an open, not-judging mind, respecting the patients’ experience and narration. In fact, NOMEs are non-pathological phenomena laying in a still misunderstood grey area between mental health and psychological or psychiatric disorders, while some of them suggest intriguing properties of human consciousness. Their ostensible incompatibility with some axioms and theories of consciousness, shows the inescapable epistemological implications of their proper investigation and understanding.

Published: March 2020

Relevance interventions have shown a great potential to foster motivation and achievement (Lazowski & Hulleman, 2016). Yet, further research is warranted to test how such interventions can be successfully implemented in practice. We conducted a cluster-randomized trial in ninth-grade mathematics classrooms to test the effectiveness of a relevance intervention, which was shown to be efficacious when implemented by researchers, for fostering motivation and achievement under real-world conditions. The 78 participating classrooms (N = 1,744 students) were randomly assigned to one of two intervention conditions or a waitlist control condition. The intervention was implemented by master’s students or the regular math teachers. Intervention effects were evaluated using self-reports, teacher ratings, and achievement tests 4 weeks and 3 months after the intervention, controlling for the initial levels of the outcomes. Compared with the control condition, both intervention conditions showed similar positive effects on utility value. Unexpectedly, students in both intervention conditions also reported higher perceived cost compared with students in the control condition after the intervention. When implemented by master’s students, additional intervention effects on students’ growth mindsets and a standardized achievement test could be observed. Only small differences in effectiveness were observed between the intervention conditions, although master’s students showed a higher level of adherence. In both intervention conditions, higher levels of adherence and lower levels of discipline problems were associated with more positive changes in utility value. Overall, the intervention thus showed mixed effects. Future research should therefore continue to examine the conditions under which relevance interventions work in practice.
Towards Stable Principles of Collective Intelligence under an Environment-Dependent Framework
Authors: Almaatouq Abdullah
Published: March 2020

A large body of work has shown that a group of individuals can often achieve higher levels of intelligence than the group members working alone. Despite these expectations of group advantage, many examples of collective failure have been documented—from market crashes to the spread of false and harmful rumors. To reconcile these results, a major effort in the study of collective decision making has been focused on understanding the role of group composition and communication patterns in promoting the "wisdom of the crowd" or, conversely, leading to "madness of the mob." In the past decades, much of this effort has been devoted to inferring the importance of a particular attribute, in isolation, by its capacity to explain the accuracy of collective judgments. In this thesis, we argue that such a perspective can lead to inconsistent conclusions: an `incoherency problem.' We assert that the importance of an individual-level or structural attribute may change as a function of the environment in which the group is situated. Hence, we propose a research agenda to investigate the relative importance of the group composition and the structure of interaction networks under an environment-dependent framework. We show that under such a framework, we can reconcile previously conflicting claims from the collective intelligence literature and motivate a future research program to identify stable principles of collective performance. Although implementing such a program is logistically challenging, "virtual lab" experiments of the sort discussed in this thesis, in combination with emerging "open science" practices such as pre-registration, data availability, open code, and "many-labs" collaborations, offer a promising route forward.
A product- and process-oriented tagset for revisions in writing
Authors: Conijn Rianne , Dux Speltz Emily , van Zaanen Menno , van Waes Luuk , Chukharev-Hudilainen Evgeny
Published: March 2020

Given the importance of revision in writing, revision has been a main topic of interest in writing research. Several models of revision have been developed, and a variety of taxonomies have been used to measure revision in empirical studies. Current advances in data collection and analysis have made it possible to study revision in more detail. However, a specific approach of how to do this is lacking. Therefore, this study aims to provide a comprehensive product-oriented and process-oriented tagset of revision. The presented tagset consists of ten properties of revisions: processing, trigger, orientation, evaluation, action, linguistic domain, spatial location, temporal location, duration, and sequencing. For each of these properties we detail how features related to these properties can be extracted manually or automatically, using keystroke logging, screen replays, and eye tracking. As a proof of concept, we show how this tagset is used to annotate revisions made by higher education students with various backgrounds in various academic tasks. To conclude, this tagset forms a scalable basis for studying revision in writing in more depth.

Authors: Mohsin Ali Aqeel
Published: March 2020

Using ﬁrst-principles quantum transport simulations, this work examines changes  in the total electronic currents within the plane of short ultrathin graphene nanoribbon with armchair edges (AGNR). A 5-AGNR-M (M = 4,12,20 and 28 zigzag line) junction was simulated and its transmission were analyzed. The I-V curves under external bias exhibit remarkable semiconducting characteristics. It further demonstrates that the length of the junction also showed significant effects in the determination of the semiconducting nature. More importantly, a significant increasing by double in bias voltage threshold of I–V characteristics have been observed for the positively charged nanoribbon in the family of 5-AGNRs.

The leukemia this considered to be the most serious and common disease due to the increase of radiation pollution levels. In this study, the province of Basrah was selected because this province contains many of the remnants of the wars due to the Gulf Wars (1991, 2003). The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of any a relationship between the radioactivity level and leukemia incidence; there are a direct or indirect relationship between the cancer rate and the exposure to radiation. Therefore, the levels of different radionuclides in leukaemic patients. In order to achieve our goal 75 samples were study and many techniques are utilized, such as the SAM 940 TM (Gamma-ray Spectroscopy). In addition, to compare between the healthy and Leukaemic samples, the UV-Vis spectrometer has been used. The results showed that there is a big difference between the radionuclide’s concentrations of the healthy and patients samples. For example, the 238U concentration in several Leukaemic patients were (2.0958 Bq/Kg), whilst at healthy individuals were (0.408 Bq/Kg).

Authors: Gouli Mohan Raj
Published: March 2020

Poets use different forms of representation for nature in their poetry. Poets get relevant subject matters to produce their verse when they encounter different forms of nature in course of their daily lives. Changing seasons and different conditions of nature significantly encourage the poets to express their deeply rooted feelings in multiple ways of representation depicting multiple forms of their surroundings. This article attempts to explore how Laxmiprasad Devkota, the great poet of Nepal, represents the rain in particular and other elements of nature in general in his poem entitled “The Rain.” To deal with the representation of nature in this poem, I have used the tool of ecocriticism that facilitates to study the relationship between literature and nature as well as nature and human beings.

Published: March 2020

This paper tries to excavate the perceptions, experiences and non/cooperation of curriculum development officers and district education officers in culturally non/responsive pedagogical approaches of private schools in Nepal. This paper tries to decontextualize and culturally non responsive education cannot address the pedagogical and socio cultural requirements of the learners and multicultural societies. This research is oriented to fundamental traits of interpretivism, criticalism and postmodernism so that the varying and complicated features of culture and culturally responsive pedagogy would be met. Therefore, it would be a heuristics of multi-paradigmatic research. In this paper I have explored the views, experiences and perceptions of responsible government officials working in curriculum designing and implementation in making our educational endeavors culturally responsive. I have tried to delve into 'world of duty' to reveal how result oriented they are. Shifting of responsibilities and lack of professionalism has been found to be the major stumbling blocks.

ПСИХОЛОГІЧНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ СОРОМ’ЯЗЛИВОСТІ СТУДЕНТІВ – МАЙБУТНІХ ПСИХОЛОГІВ
Authors: Степаненко Інна
Published: March 2020

Статтю присвячено емпіричному дослідженню психологічних особливостей сором’язливості серед студентів, майбутніх психологів, за допомогою Стенфордського опитувальника cором’язливості Ф. Зімбардо. Виокремлено із загальної вибірки сором’язливих студентів та на основі контент-аналізу визначено їхні психологічні особливості, а саме: силу і частоту прояву сором’язливості; ситуації та види діяльності; типи людей; суб’єктивне обґрунтування; фізичні реакції; думки та відчуття; дії; позитивні та негативні наслідки сором’язливості; причини виникнення сором’язливості. Cилу сором’язливості досліджено через визначення ступеня її впливу в контексті – надзвичайно сильна; дуже сильна; досить сильна; помірно сильна; це дещо на кшталт зніяковіння. Частоту сором’язливості досліджено через визначення частоти її виникнення – кожного дня; майже кожного дня, часто, майже кожного дня; один чи два рази на тиждень; час від часу, але рідше, ніж раз на тиждень. Тобто, обравши одну із запропонованих відповідей, респонденти зараховувалися до загальної кількості тих, хто визнає вплив сили та частоти сором’язливості. Було здійснено підрахунок кількісних та якісних показників прояву психологічних особливостей сором’язливої особистості та представлено їх у відсотках. На основі аналізу отриманих даних, нами були зроблені висновки щодо переважання частки сором’язливих особистостей над несором’язливими. У процесі спілкування з респондентами групи «сором’язливі», було виявлено наявність певної визначеності стосовно психологічних особливостей своєї сором’язливості. Було висвітлено запити студентів, майбутніх психологів, щодо потреби подолання своєї сором’язливості за допомогою психологічної допомоги з боку фахівця-психолога. На основі висловлювань студентів, майбутніх психологів, щодо негативного впливу сором’язливості на їхній саморозвиток та професійне становлення було констатовано необхідність створення психокорекційної програми з подолання сором’язливості.
СПІВЗАЛЕЖНА ПОВЕДІНКА ОСОБИСТОСТІ У КОНТЕКСТІ НАУКОВИХ ДОСЛІДЖЕНЬ
Authors: Сушко Діана
Published: March 2020

Статтю присвячено проблемі прояву співзалежної поведінки особистості в умовах сьогодення. На думку фахівців (психіатрів, наркологів, психологів, неврологів), профілактика та подолання співзалежності належить до актуальних медико-соціальних завдань. Ця проблема стає все гострішою у зв’язку із ростом поширеності залежності, зокрема, і хімічної, та інших видів адиктивної поведінки. Феномен співзалежності ще недостатньо вивчений у світі, в тому числі і в нашій країні. Про нього рідко згадується в посібниках з клінічної, вікової, сімейної, педагогічної психології. На сьогодні ні в медичній, ні в соціальній психології немає єдиного визначення поняття співзалежності, його лише описують як складний характерологічний феномен. У статті обґрунтовано актуальність проблеми «співзалежності» як предмету наукового пошуку: вказано на необхідність визначення «співзалежності» як наукової категорії у соціальному і психологічному вимірах, дослідження «співзалежності особистості» як феномена психології; визначення особливостей прояву, критеріїв співзалежності особистості, умов і механізмів формування співзалежної поведінки; на потребу в розробці діагностичного комплексу, який дав би можливість різносторонньо дослідити вказаний феномен. В публікації розглянуті підходи до визначення поняття співзалежності у вітчизняній та зарубіжній літературі. Проаналізовано характерні особливості цього феномена на основі аналізу його трактування у працях психологів-науковців і практиків. Автор пропонує розглядати співзалежність як надмірну патологічну емоційну залежність особистості від значущих для неї близьких, зумовлену низкою соціально-психологічних чинників, серед яких чільне місце займають виховання та відносини в батьківській сім’ї.
