Bilingual Experience and Executive Control over the Adult Lifespan: The Role of Biological Sex
Authors: Subramaniapillai Sivaniya , Rajah Maria Natasha , Pasvanis Stamatoula , Titone Debra
Published: July 2018

We investigated whether bilingual language experience over the lifespan impacts women and men in a manner that differentially buffers against age-related declines in executive control. To this end, we investigated whether executive control performance in a lifespan sample of adult women and men were differentially impacted by individual differences in bilingual language experience, assessed using an unspeeded measure of executive control, the Wisconsin Card Sort Test. The results suggested that women showed both the greatest degree of age-related decline across WCST measures, and a greater likelihood than men to express improved performance as a function of increased bilingual experience. We consider implications of this finding for advancing our understanding of the relation between bilingualism and cognition, and also the effects of biological sex on cognitive aging.
Complementary Inferences on Theoretical Physics and Mathematics
Authors: Kavak Mesut
Published: July 2018

I have been working for a long time about basic laws which direct existence, and some mathematical problems which are waited for a solution. I can count myself lucky, that I could make some important inferences during this time, and I published them in a few papers partially as some propositions. This work aimed to explain and discuss these inferences all together by relating them one another by some extra additions, corrections and explanations being physical phenomena are prior. There are many motivation instruments for exact physical inferences.
Amplitude Modulation detection ability can be differentially affected using state-dependent Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Authors: Partridge Adam Michael , Prendergast Garreth , Hymers Mark
Published: July 2018

Temporal changes in the speech envelope are crucial for intelligibility, and humans are particularly sensitive to amplitude modulations (AM) at frequencies commensurate with the syllabic rate (4Hz). Some asymmetric models of auditory processing have attempted to explain observed functional asymmetries between left and right auditory cortices in terms of temporal integration windows of differing lengths. In this paper we use an fMRI-localised, state-dependent, dual-pulse TMS paradigm to investigate auditory processing as exemplified by detection of sinusoidal amplitude modulation of a broadband noise carrier. The effect of left and right hemisphere TMS on accuracy levels for detection of such modulations at rates of 4 and 40Hz under conditions of behavioural adaptation were examined. Effects of TMS on AM detection were found only in the 40Hz detection task when TMS was applied to the left hemisphere. Further, this effect showed a dissociation based on the modulation used during behavioural adaptation, with a facilitation shown when participants were behaviourally adapted to 4Hz AM whereas a disruption was shown when participants were behaviourally adapted to 40Hz AM, contrary to initial predictions based on state-dependent TMS theory. These results show for the first time that it is possible to differentially affect AM detection ability using TMS and further emphasise the importance of subtle timing factors in TMS studies. The novel use of this technique in the auditory domain has implications for further elucidating auditory processing mechanisms in health and disease.
Gaming Motivation and Problematic Video Gaming: The Role of Needs Frustration
Authors: Mills Devin J. , Milyavskaya Marina , Heath Nancy L. , Derevensky Jeffrey L.
Published: July 2018

Motivation is often used as a predictor of a problematic style of video game engagement, implying that individuals’ gaming undermines optimal functioning. Drawing from recent advances in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), the present study explores the links between gaming motivations, the daily frustration of basic psychological needs, and reports of problematic video gaming (PVG). A sample of 1,029 participants (72.8% male; M = 22.96 years; SD = 4.13 years) completed items regarding their gaming engagement and gaming motivation as well as their experience of needs frustration and PVG symptoms. Results revealed positive associations between gaming motivations and PVG, and between daily needs frustration and PVG. Finally, after comparing several competing models, a mediational model whereby needs frustration explained the association between individuals’ gaming motivation and PVG emerged as best fitting the data. The discussion addresses the theoretical and practical implications of these findings in the context of recent research.
Assessing balance in outcome regressions
Authors: Popham Frank , Leyland Alastair
Published: July 2018

An outcome regression controlling for observed confounders remains a popular way to assess the causal effect of an exposure in epidemiology, despite more modern causal techniques for adjusting for observed confounders, such as inverse probability weighting. A feature of inverse probability weighting is that checking balance of confounders in the control and exposure groups after confounder adjustment is simple. However, researchers using outcome regressions commonly do not check confounder balance after controlling for confounders. Although outcome regressions will balance any confounder specified in the model, the confounder value the model balances at is not transparent. We show that a matrix representation of an outcome regression reveals that an outcome regression includes a weight similar to an inverse probability weight. We also show that outcome regressions may not be balancing at the sample mean of the confounders particularly if interactions are not included with the exposure, which is typically the case in outcome regressions. Finally, we show that the coefficient of the exposure in an outcome regression is simply the difference between two weighted counterfactuals. Thus, there is an important connection between traditional outcome regression and modern causal techniques.

English as a Medium of Instruction in Moroccan Higher Education
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Belhiah Hassan , Abdelatif Abilkassem
Published: July 2018

Currently, French is used as a medium of instruction in Moroccan colleges of science and engineering. There have been several calls to replace French with English since English is gradually becoming the language of science and technology par excellence. This study examines science and technology doctoral students’ attitudes towards the use of English as a medium of instruction in three Moroccan colleges using a survey questionnaire. The results indicate that students are strongly in favor of using English as a medium of instruction. Some reasons behind this preference include the need to read and cite indexed journal articles in their dissertations, their intention to pursue postgraduate studies abroad, and the desire to have an edge in the job market.
Composite riser reliability under harsh environmental conditions
Authors: Pham DC
Published: July 2018

Offshore engineers are looking to explore resources further from shore and at greater depths. A number of papers have indicated that composite materials may provide benefits at these depths. However, there are only a small number of risers in-service and with no history of operation these applications require experiments and theoretical investigations to ensure the safety and increase the knowledge about how they will survive the deep-water conditions. This paper therefore investigates a simplified model for composite risers for application to reliability analysis. A static catenary model is used with classical laminate plate theory used to generate stresses in the composite. This is connected to a Monte Carlo Simulation which is used to compare composite risers in harsh and normal conditions.

Donald Trump and the Politics of Racism
Authors: McGettigan Timothy
Published: July 2018

The US began as an unapologetically racist nation. The Founding Fathers were all white men who treated people of color as subhumans. Donald Trump’s antipathy for Latinos and people of color is identical to the anti-democratic prejudices that the Founding Fathers institutionalized at the founding of the USA. In those bad old days, white supremacy reigned supreme and white racists were the unchallenged heroes of their own histories. Donald Trump and his fans want to “make America great again” by dehumanizing people of color and reinstituting the warped beliefs that transformed villainous white supremacists into Champions of Democracy.
Dormancy in metacommunities
Authors: Wisnoski Nathan I. , Leibold Mathew A. , Lennon Jay T.
Published: July 2018

Although metacommunity ecology has improved our understanding of how dispersal affects community structure and dynamics across spatial scales, it has yet to adequately account for dormancy. Dormancy is a reversible state of reduced metabolic activity that enables temporal dispersal within the metacommunity. Dormancy is also a metacommunity-level process because it can covary with spatial dispersal and affect diversity across spatial scales. We develop a framework to integrate dispersal and dormancy, focusing on the covariation they exhibit, to predict how dormancy modifies the importance of species interactions, dispersal, and historical contingencies in metacommunities. We examine case studies of microcrustaceans in ephemeral ponds, where dormancy is integral to metacommunity dynamics. We analyze traits of bromeliad-dwelling invertebrates and identify constraints on dispersal and dormancy strategies. Using simulations, we demonstrate that dormancy can alter classic metacommunity patterns of diversity in ways that depend on dispersal–dormancy covariation and spatiotemporal environmental variability. We propose that dormancy may also facilitate evolution-mediated priority effects if locally adapted seed banks prevent colonization by more dispersal-limited species. We present theoretically and empirically testable predictions for other possible ecological and evolutionary implications of dormancy in metacommunities, some of which may fundamentally alter our understanding of metacommunity ecology.

Things Fall Apart - Rebel Fragmentation in Syria’s Civil War (2011-2017)
Authors: Pedersen Patrick Steen , Walther Olivier
Published: July 2018

In rebel-held Syria, an array of rebel organisations are nominally allied in their fight against the Syrian government and yet they remain internally divided. Rather than being a rare occurrence, fragmentation within rebel movements is a common phenomenon with wide-ranging consequences for its chances of success. The objective of this paper is to explain what has caused fragmented to occur in Syria from 2011 to 2017. Using a three-dimensional conceptualisation of rebel fragmentation, we identify and analyse the causes of rebel fragmentation within the Syrian rebel movement and illustrate how these dynamics have influenced the overall degree of fragmentation throughout four phases of the conflict. The study finds that the splintering of the Syrian rebel movement is a second-order effect of historical, structural and geopolitical factors generally outside the immediate control of the non-state actors.
Taxing the brain to uncover lying? Meta-analyzing the effect of imposing cognitive load on the reaction-time costs of lying
Authors: Verschuere Bruno , Köbis Nils , meyer yoella , Rand David Gertler , Shalvi Shaul
Published: July 2018

Lying typically requires greater mental effort than telling the truth. Imposing cognitive load may improve lie detection by limiting the cognitive resources needed to lie effectively, thereby increasing the difference in speed between truths and lies. We test this hypothesis meta-analytically. Across 21 studies using response-time (RT) paradigms (11 unpublished; total N = 792), we consistently found that truth telling was faster than lying, but found no evidence that imposing cognitive load increased that difference (Control, d = 1.45; Load, d = 1.28). Instead, load significantly decreased the lie-truth RT difference by increasing the RT of truths, g = -.18, p = .027. Our findings therefore suggest that imposing cognitive load does not necessarily improve RT-based lie detection, and may actually worsen it by taxing the mental system and thus impeding people’s ability to easily—and thus quickly—tell the truth
Guardianship for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities: Accountant, Advocate or ‘Family’ Member?
Authors: Giertz Lottie
Published: July 2018

The overarching aim of this study is to explore guardianship in terms of its impact on the daily lives of adults with intellectual disabilities in Sweden. Based on qualitative interviews, the article focuses on the expected and actual role of limited guardians for people with intellectual disabilities in the context of Swedish laws. Our findings show that the legal definition of limited guardianship is unclear, and that this lack of clarity among other dilemmas creates conflict among clients, guardians, relatives, professionals and care workers. The guardian may be expected to act as an accountant, a legal advocate, or even a surrogate family member. The result is consistent with previous research in other countries on the consequences of guardianship. The current legislation on limited guardianship is in need of amendment in order to avoid legal uncertainty and ambiguity among clients and their support network.

HUMAN SECURITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN INDONESIA: HUMAN TRAFFICKING ISSUE IN EAST NUSA TENGGARA
Authors: Abbas Wandi
Published: July 2018

The main focus of the human security concept is understanding the security in the broad dimension that is concerned to socio-economic, health and environmental conditions which threaten the physical security of individual. Human rights, the human basic values, has been regulated in international law. Human trafficking is a basic issue of both concepts. Human trafficking has violated and flattened the values of human security concepts as well as human rights that have become a common precept. On the issue of human trafficking, human security and human rights are phenomena which prove that human existence becomes the main concern of the completion. This paper is a qualitative method, explaining the issue by literature review and interview as well as research refers to various national and international instruments relating to human trafficking. This study argued that in Indonesia, particularly in East Nusa Tenggara, it is vulnerable to human trafficking practices that have an impact on individual insecurity and human rights violations.The rise of human trafficking cases proves that the existence of individual security needs to be considered. East Nusa Tenggara is one of the most vulnerable areas of human trafficking in Indonesia, this mainly due to the economic, educational and other sectors. Financial needs that became the main thing in life in the community became their main cause trapped in the case of human trafficking. In addition, the lack of public understanding about human trafficking is the reason to become victims. The role of the government as an obliging and responsible actor to protect the citizens is not significant, one of which socialization to various regions of human trafficking has not been maximal, which is only done at the government level. Furthermore, the response to the victimized community has not been maximally handling.
ANALYSIS OF LABOR EMPLOYMENT ASSESMENT ON PRODUCTION MACHINE TO MINIMIZE TIME PRODUCTION
Authors: Tri Hernawati Tri
Published: July 2018

. Every company both in the field of service and manufacturing always trying to pass efficiency of it’s resource use. One resource that has an important role is labor. Labor has different efficiency levels for different jobs anyway. Problems related to the optimal allocation of labor that has different levels of efficiency for different jobs are called assignment problems, which is a special case of linear programming. In this research, Analysis of Labor Employment Assesment on Production Machine to Minimize Time Production, in PT PDM is done by using Hungarian algorithm. The aim of the research is to get the assignment of optimal labor on production machine to minimize time production. The results showed that the assignment of existing labor is not suitable because the time of completion of the assignment is longer than the assignment by using the Hungarian algorithm. By applying the Hungarian algorithm obtained time savings of 16%.
Nonword repetition depends on the frequency of sublexical representations at different grain sizes: evidence from a multi-factorial analysis
Authors: Szewczyk Jakub M. , Marecka Marta , Chiat Shula , Wodniecka Zofia
Published: July 2018

The nonword repetition task (NWR) has been widely used in basic cognitive and clinical research, as well as in clinical assessment, and has been proposed as a clinical marker for Specific Language Impairment (SLI). Yet the mechanisms underlying performance on this task are not clear. This study offers insights into these mechanisms through a comprehensive examination of item-related variables identified in previous research as possibly contributing to NWR scores and through testing the predictive power of each in relation to the others. A unique feature of the study is that all factors are considered simultaneously. Fifty-seven typically developing children were tested with a NWR task containing 150 nonwords differing in length, phonotactic probability, lexical neighbourhood, and phonological complexity. The results indicate that phonological processing of novel words draws on sublexical representations at all grain sizes and that these representations are phonological, unstructured and insensitive to morphemehood. We propose a novel index – mean ngram frequency of all phonemes – that best captures the extent to which a nonword draws on sublexical representations. The study demonstrates the primacy of sublexical representations in NWR performance with implications for the nature of the deficit in SLI.

TINJAUAN HUKUM PRAKTIK BISNIS BERKEADILAN MELALUI PENINGKATAN AKSESIBILITAS KONSUMEN
Authors: Harahap Abi Jumroh
Published: July 2018

In the mid of free trade era, both in domestic and international level, consumer protection issues has become more relevan to be examined. One of the important aspect in the field of consumer protection that should be strengthened is consumer’s access to justice. The complexity of global trade marked by unfair commercial practices have often negative impacts for consumer; consumer rights often be ignored and violated by business people. Therefore government must be able to ensure the existence of consumer’s access to justice through the rule making, policy, and the new legal institutionalization in order to create fair business environment.
Geometry of maximum-entropy proofs: stationary points, convexity, Legendre transforms, exponential families
Authors: Porta Mana PierGianLuca
Published: July 2018

This note is a geometric commentary on maximum-entropy proofs. Its purpose is to illustrate the geometric structures involved in such proofs, to explain more in detail why the maximization of the entropy can be turned into the minimization of a potential function, and to show how Lagrange transforms emerge from this. A synopsis of the main functions involved in the proof and of their very different properties is given at the end, together with a brief discussion of exponential families of probabilities, which also appear in the proof.
Teoría de la socialidad como interacción: hacia un análisis social naturalista, universal e interaccional
Authors: Jiménez-Albornoz Juan
Published: July 2018

This paper develops three basic statements we think are needed for the growth of social science. In the first place, that there is no opposition between society and nature, and that the social sciences study a kind of sociality (entailed on culture and consciousness) that is part of a more general analysis of the social world. In second place, that a universal theory of social processes is possible and it is not in opposition, but actually explains traits of social life usually thought as incompatible with the possibility of a general theory. In third place, that the space in which to build that theory, and one that allows to dissolve some traditional antinomies of social thought, is interaction.
Proactive control of emotional distraction: Evidence from alpha suppression

Biased attention towards emotional stimuli is adaptive, as it facilitates responses to important threats and rewards. An unfortunate consequence is that emotional stimuli can become potent distractors when they are irrelevant to current goals. How can this distraction be overcome despite the bias to attend to emotional stimuli? Recent studies show that distraction by irrelevant flankers is reduced when distractor frequency is high, even if they are emotional. A parsimonious explanation is that the expectation of frequent distractors promotes the use of proactive control, whereby attentional control settings can be altered to minimise distraction before it occurs. It is difficult, however, to infer proactive control on the basis of behavioural data alone. We therefore measured neural indices of proactive control while participants performed a target-detection task in which irrelevant peripheral distractors (either emotional or neutral) could appear either frequently (on 75% of trials) or rarely (on 25% of trials). We measured alpha power during the pre-stimulus period to assess proactive control; and during the post-stimulus period to determine the consequences of control for subsequent processing. Pre-stimulus alpha power was tonically suppressed in the high, compared to low, distractor-frequency condition, regardless of expected valence, indicating sustained use of proactive control. In contrast, there was less post-stimulus alpha suppression in the high frequency condition, suggesting that proactive control reduced the need for post-stimulus adjustments. Our findings indicate that a sustained proactive control strategy accounts for the reduction in both emotional and non-emotional distraction when distractors are expected to appear frequently.

Netscan and Networx for Management Bandwidth and Traffic with Simple Routing
Authors: mufadhol mufadhol
Published: July 2018

Currently, approximately 3.4 billion people are accessing the internet around the world and that number is still growing. This phenomena creates the Internet culture that has a great influence on science, technology and even the world economy. Internet bandwidth is very expensive, which makes an information technology based company have to map the internet accurately either daily, monthly or yearly. That data will be taken into consideration by the company to decide how to provide services that make an internet surfing is a pleasant experience. If not regulated, most likely the traffic and bandwidth will be used up even when it is only shared by a few users. To anticipate this, we need a bandwidth and management traffic system using Netscan and Networx in order to monitoring the usage of Internet.

Manajemen Kesehatan Lingkungan adalah suatu seni yang melaksanakan dan mengatur system dari bagian kesehatan masyarakat untuk menopang keseimbangan ekologis antara manusia dan lingkungannya (biotic dan abiotik) guna tercapainya kualitas hidup manusia yang sehat dan bahagia. Fungsi manajemen kesehatan lingkungan terdiri dari Fungsi perencanaan, Fungsi penggerakan dan pelaksanaan, Fungsi pengorganisasian dan Fungsi pengarahan dan pengawasan. Peran manajemen dalam kesehatan lingkungan adalah Pengelolaan lingkungan mempunyai dua dimensi yaitu “keterpaduan” dan “konflik”. Idealnya, berbagai instrumen pengelolaan lingkungan dapat dirumuskan secara terpadu sehingga dapat mengakomodasi berbagai kelompok kepentingan. Dalam prakteknya, pengelolaan lingkungan tidak dapat dilepaskan dari konflik. Oleh karenanya para pengelola lingkungan harus mempunyai kapasitas untuk mengelola konflik dari berbagai kepentingan yang saling bertentangan.
