Within-subject mediation analysis
Authors: Vuorre Matti , Bolger Niall
Published: July 2018

Statistical mediation allows researchers to investigate potential causal effects of experimental manipulations through intervening variables. It is a powerful tool for assessing the presence and strength of postulated causal mechanisms. Although mediation is used in certain areas of psychology, it is rarely applied in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. One reason for the scarcity of applications is that these areas of psychology commonly employ within-subjects designs, and it is only recently that statistical mediation has been worked out satisfactorily for such designs. Here, we draw attention to the importance and ubiquity of mediational hypotheses in within-subjects designs, and we present a general and flexible software package for conducting a Bayesian within-subjects mediation analyses in the R programming environment. We use experimental data from cognitive psychology to illustrate the benefits of within-subject mediation for theory testing and comparison.
PARADOKS DEMOKRASI INDONESIA “Merebaknya Intoleransi (Hate Speech dan Hate Crime) dalam Politik Indonesia”
Authors: fatma
Published: July 2018

Demokrasi memberikan tempat bagi kita belajar hidup bersama musuh karena hanya demokrasi yang memungkinkan ketegangan dan paradoks, yang bersumber dari kebebasan, terjadi di masyarakat. Berbeda dengan masa Orde Baru, kita kini bisa menikmati kebebasan berpendapat dan berasosiasi. Kebebasan tersebut pada gilirannya bisa menghasilkan ketegangan. Hubungan antara elemen masyarakat yang satu dengan yang lainnya, atau hubungan antara negara dengan elemen masyarakat, bisa tegang karena perbedaan kepentingan dalam mengatur tatanan sosial dan politik.

Authors: Queiroz Bernardo L , Golgher André Braz , Amaral Ernesto F. L.
Published: July 2018

O Estado de Minas Gerais é uma das regiões mais heterogêneas do país. Coexistem no Estado regiões dinâmicas, modernas e com indicadores sócio-econômicos de alto nível e localidades menos desenvolvidas, estagnadas que oferecem uma condição de vida mais precária para a sua população. De um lado, tem-se a região Centro-Sul e o Triângulo Mineiro, áreas mais desenvolvidas, de maior dinamismo econômico e com a maior parcela do produto interno. Do outro, as Zonas Leste e Norte, caracterizadas por um dinamismo e expressividade econômica mais fraco e com indicadores sociais piores. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste capítulo é apresentar uma breve discussão da trajetória demográfica, do perfil de educação, do mercado de trabalho e das condições de vida da população do Estado, além de sua evolução no período recente, ressaltando as disparidades regionais. A análise destes indicadores será realizada situando o Estado em relação às demais unidades da federação do país. O trabalho se concentra, na maioria dos casos, na análise do período mais recente – anos 2000. Porém, sempre que possível, apresenta-se a evolução histórica e projeções futuras, com o objetivo de auxiliar gestores de políticas públicas e outros pesquisadores interessados em estudar Minas Gerais.

Published: July 2018

Perencanaan transportasi dilakukan agar tercapai tingkat efektifitas, ektesifitas, serta efisien secara biaya dan waktu tempuh. Efektifitas atau tepat guna berhubungan dengan upaya menciptakan keamanan dan kenyamanan wisatawan, sedangkan efisiensi menyangkut waktu tempuh dan biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk menjangkau destinasi/ tujuan. Perencanaan transportasi dapat dikatakan ektensif jika suatu jalur dan moda transportasi dapat menjangkau banyak titik/ destinasi wisata di suatu daerah.Transportasi sebagai sarana penunjang untuk mengantar wisatawan ke daerah tujuan wisata perlu dikelola sedemikian rupa agar para wisatawan tetap segar bugar rohani dan jasmaninya. Kesegaran ini dapat diupayakan dengan pengaturan perjalanan wisata yang mengasikan, hingga jarak yang jauh terasa dekat, jangka waktu perjalanan yang lama menjadi terasa sebentar.Dalam kegiatan transportasi wisata terdapat lima unsur utama yang harus selalu ada, kelima unsur tersebut antara lain moda transportasi (kendaraan), awak, jaringan jalan, sasaran wisata, dan wisatawanya
The Power of The Light over modern Quantum Physics
Authors: Vegt Wim
Published: July 2018

The famous 1927 Solvay Conference was considered a turning point in the world of Physics. The scientific realists like Albert Einstein had lost and the instrumentalists like Niels Bohr had won the fundamental conflict. Since then Physics has followed the path of the instrumentalists in which Quantum Physics has been determined by the concept of Elementary Particles and Probability Waves. Until May 2013, when for the first time a photo had been made of the Probability Waves Inside the Hydrogen Atom . It should be impossible to make a photo of a non-existing complex probability wave with mass zero But the fact could not be denied anymore that scientists had succeeded to make the “complex” and the “non-existing” quantum mechanical “Probability Wave” visible. New discoveries like “Photonic Molecules” and “Photon-Photon Interaction” require a new interpretation of the Copenhagen Interpretation . Since the Copenhagen Interpretation there is still no clarity about the physical interpretation of the Quantum Mechanical “Probability Wave Function”This Manuscript describes a third unknown interpretation of the Quantum Mechanical “Probability Wave Function”. A fundamental physical interpretation that will change the generally accepted Copenhagen Interpretation. This Manuscript will answer the fundamental question: Does an alternative theory exist in which the existence of this particular photo, of the Quantum Mechanical Probability Wave within the Hydrogen Atom, could be explained. And that the famous photo of the Hydrogen Atom can be explained in a logical and a simple way. To find the answer, we have to go back in time. Back 300 years in time to the moment when Isaac Newton discovered the beauty and one of the many secrets of the light. The moment when science walked away from light. And we return to the fundamental question: “Is it possible to build Matter out of Light (confined electromagnetic waves)?” To answer this question if it is possible to build Matter out of Light, we first have to answer the question how we have come to this world of Probability Waves and Elementary Particles and Quantum Physics.
Effect of Hands-on Activities on Achievement and Retention of Senior Secondary Chemistry Students in Stoichiometry
Authors: Ajayi Victor Oluwatosin , Ogbeba Josiah
Published: July 2018

Abstract The research was on the effect of hands-on activities on achievement and retention of senior secondary chemistry students in stoichiometry. A sample of 292 students from eight purposively selected secondary schools out of a population of 8,381 SS II students from zone C of Benue State, Nigeria was used for the study. The study adopted quasi-experimental research design. The instrument used for data collection was Stoichiometry Achievement Test (SAT) with the reliability value of 0.92 using Pearson Product Moment Coefficient. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The research questions were answered using Mean and Standard Deviation scores while the hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The study revealed that students taught stoichiometry using hands-on activities had significantly higher mean achievement scores than those taught using demonstration method (F=555.374, P(0.0001<0.05) and students taught stoichiometry using hands-on activities had significantly higher mean retention scores than those taught using demonstration method (F=117.523, P(0.0001<0.05). It was recommended that since hands-on activities method was found to be an effective method for improving students’ achievement and retention in stoichiometry; Chemistry teacher’s trainee should be trained on the use of hands-on activities and serving teachers should be encourage to use it.
Internal Combustion Engines Water Injection fed by Exhaust Water Recirculation: a feasibility analysis
Authors: Vaudrey Alexandre
Published: July 2018

Water injection (WI) is one of the ways usable to mitigate the tail pipe pollution of internal combustion engine propelled vehicles. Despite its well-known good points, such a process may require the presence of an additional liquid water tank on board. In this paper, we assess the possibility to recycle some water vapour contained within the engine exhaust gas stream in order to supply WI and then reduce as far as possible the size of the water tank. The influence of parameters such as the ambient humidity, the fuel chemical composition, the Water-Fuel Ratio and the water recycling system effectiveness are taken into account. Obtained results are really encouraging: in considering the effectivenesses of existing water recycling membranes usable with exhaust gas streams, almost all water needs of WI processes could be satisfied, for both liquid (gasoline and Diesel) and gaseous fuels (hydrogen and natural gas). The Exhaust Water Recirculation system presented in this paper is thus probably one of the key components WI will need to be used more widely on actual vehicles.

Published: July 2018

Die Psychologie, und mit ihr auch die Sportpsychologie, befindet sich in einer sogenannten Vertrauenskrise (siehe Titel des Themenhefts). Während die Diskussion ihrer Ursachen und Konsequenzen lebendig geführt wird, fehlt es an der Herausarbeitung individueller Möglichkeiten, Vertrauen wieder kollektiv herzustellen. In diesem Beitrag zeigen wir Wege aus dieser Vertrauenskrise auf und beschreiben insbesondere individuelle Schritte hin zu verlässlichem und offenem Forschen: Verlässliches Forschen bezieht sich auf das Publizieren von robusten Ergebnissen, sowie von direkten und konzeptuellen Replikationsstudien und offenes Forschen auf die Transparenz hinsichtlich der Planung (Präregistrierung), der Durchführung (Open Material) und der Analyse (Open Data, Reproducible Code) wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen. Das Bekenntnis zu verlässlicher und offener Forschung wird unser Handeln in den verschiedenen Rollen im Wissenschaftssystem (als Forscher, Reviewer, Herausgeber, Betreuer, Kommissionsmitglied etc.) verändern. In diesem Sinne begreifen wir in diesem Beitrag die momentane Diskussion als Chance, die Zuverlässigkeit unserer Befunde nachhaltig zu steigern und langfristig gerechtfertigtes Vertrauen zu schaffen.
Automated generation of “good enough” transcripts as a first step to transcription of audio-recorded data
Authors: Bokhove Christian , Christopher
Published: July 2018

In the last decade automated captioning services have appeared in mainstream technology use. Until now the focus of these services have been on the technical aspects, supporting pupils with special educational needs and supporting teaching and learning of second language students. Only limited explorations have been attempted regarding its use for research purposes: transcription of audio recordings. This paper presents a proof-of-concept exploration utilising three examples of automated transcription of audio recordings from different contexts; an interview, a public hearing and a classroom setting, and compares them against ‘manual’ transcription techniques in each case. It begins with an overview of literature on automated captioning and the use of voice recognition tools for the purposes of transcription. An account is provided of the specific processes and tools used for the generation of the automated captions followed by some basic processing of the captions to produce automated transcripts. Originality checking software was used to determine a percentage match between the automated transcript and a manual version as a basic measure of the potential usability of each of the automated transcripts. Some analysis of the more common and persistent mismatches observed between automated and manual transcripts is provided, revealing that the majority of mismatches would be easily identified and rectified in a review and edit of the automated transcript. Finally, some of the challenges and limitations of the approach are considered. These limitations notwithstanding, we conclude that this form of automated transcription provides ‘good enough’ transcription for first versions of transcripts. The time and cost advantages of this could be considerable, even for the production of summary or gisted transcripts.

Auditory and visual hallucination prevalence in Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Eversfield Charlotte Louise , Orton Llwyd David
Published: July 2018

Background: Non-motor features of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) contribute significantly to disease burden yet are less well understood than motor features. Auditory hallucinations (AH) are commonly associated with psychotic disorders, yet their contribution to PD and DLB is not well understood.Methods: We conducted a systematic review and random-effects model meta-analyses of studies reporting AH associated with PD or DLB. Prevalence of visual hallucinations (VH) in identified studies meeting eligibility criteria were included in meta-analyses, facilitating comparison with AH. Synthesis of qualitative descriptions of AH was performed. PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched for primary journal articles, written in English, published from 1970 to 2017. Studies reporting AH prevalence in PD or DLB were screened using PRISMA methods. Results: Searches identified 4,542 unique studies for consideration, of which, 26 met inclusion criteria. AH pooled prevalence in PD was estimated to be 8.9% (95% CI=5.3-14.5), while in DLB was estimated to be 30.8% (±23.4-39.3). VH were more common, with an estimated pooled prevalence in PD of 28.2% (±19.1-39.5), while in DLB they were estimated to be 61.8% (±49.1-73.0). Meta-regression determined that the use of validated methodologies to identify hallucinations produced higher prevalence estimates.Conclusions: AH and VH present in a substantial proportion of PD and DLB cases, with VH reported more frequently in both conditions. Both AH and VH are more prevalent in DLB than PD. There is a need for standardised use of validated methods to detect and monitor hallucinations.
A Meta-analysis of the Survival Processing Advantage in Memory
Authors: Scofield John E. , Buchanan Erin Michelle , Kostic Bogdan
Published: July 2018

The survival processing advantage occurs when processing words for their survival value improves later performance on a memory test. Due to the interest in this topic, we conducted a meta-analysis to review literature regarding the survival processing advantage to estimate a bias-corrected effect size. Traditional meta-analytic methods were used, as well as the test for excessive success, p-curve, p-uniform, trim and fill, PET-PEESE, and selection models to re-evaluate effect sizes while controlling for forms of small-study effects. Average effect sizes for survival processing ranged between partial eta squared = .06 and .09 for between-subjects experiments, and between .15 and .18 for within-subjects experiments after correcting for potential bias and selective reporting. Overall, researchers can expect to find medium to large survival processing effects, with selective reporting and bias correcting techniques typically estimating lower effects than traditional meta-analytic techniques.

A circle without pi
Authors: V Vijimon O
Published: July 2018

This paper provides the proof of invalidity of the most fundamental constant known to mankind. Imagining acircle without "/pi" is simply unthinkable but it’s going to be a reality very soon. "/pi" is not a true circleconstant and the value associated with it is also in error. This paper explores this idea and proposes a newconstant in the process which gives the correct measure of a circle. It is given by "/tau". The exact value of "/tau" isalso determined. As a result, it redefines the area of the circle. The circle area currently accounted is wrong andtherefore needs correction. This has serious implications for science. I have also discovered the fundamentalgeometrical ratio b/w a circle and a square in which it’s inscribed and have also discovered a new circle formula.This paper makes this strong case with less ambiguity.
PENGARUH METODE EKSPERIMEN TERHADAP PENGUASAAN GRAFIK KINEMATIKA KONSEP GLB DAN GLBB PADA MAHASISWA FISIKA UNIVERSITAS MUHAMMADIYAH MATARAM
Authors: Anwar Khairil , Ramadhan M. Firman
Published: July 2018

Hasil observasi menggambarkan tentang kesulitan yang dialami mahasiswa ketika memahami grafik kinematika, termasuk kesalahan dalam menafsirkan grafik sebagai gambar, juga mengalami kesulitan ketika memisahkan arti posisi, kecepatan, dan percepatan yang diperbandingkan dengan grafik waktu. Ini disebabkan karena metode pengajaran dalam perkuliahan biasanya mengacu pada metode ceramah saja, oleh karena itu dosen harus termotivasi untuk menerapkan metode mengajar yang tepat sesuai dengan materi ajar. Untuk mengetahui sejauh mana peningkatan pemahaman mahasiswa, maka telah dilakukan penelitian tentang “Pengaruh Metode Eksperimen Terhadap Penguasaan Grafik Kinematika Konsep GLB dan GLBB pada Mahasiswa Fisika Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram Tahun Akademik 2011/2012”, dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan antara hasil belajar fisika mahasiswa dan mengetahui metode mana yang lebih baik untuk diterapkan dalam perkuliahan tentang konsep grafik gerak lurus. Identifikasikan kemampuan mahasiswa didasarkan pada kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol (ceramah) yang dijadikan sebagai subyek penelitian (sampel) yang terbentuk dari dua kelas semester III, dengan populasi seluruh mahasiswa fisika. Teknik pengumpulan data adalah dokumentasi dan tes, dimana instrumen teruji terlebih dahulu kelayakannya. Analisis data digunakan Uji Normalitas, dan Uji Homogenitas. Selanjutnya diolah dengan menggunakan uji-t untuk membuktikan hipotesis. Berdasarkan hasil analisis kemampuan akhir mahasiswa yang mendapat skor total kategori tinggi pada kelas eksperimen lebih banyak (ada 15 orang) dibandingkan dengan mahasiswa kelas kontrol (hanya ada 7 orang). Uji hipotesis menggunakan uji-t dua pihak, diperoleh thitung (3,274) lebih besar dari ttabel (1,993) pada taraf signifikan 5% dan derajat bebas 82, ini berarti bahwa hipotesis H1 diterima yang berarti ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara hasil belajar fisika pada mahasiswa yang mendapat pembelajaran grafik kinematika konsep GLB dan GLBB dengan metode eksperimen dengan nilai rata-rata klasikal = 7,79. Sedangkan hasil belajar fisika pada mahasiswa kelas kontrol adalah = 6,38. Hal ini membuktikan pembelajaran grafik kinematika konsep GLB dan GLBB dengan metode eksperimen ternyata efektif dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar fisika mahasiswa terhadap materi grafik kinematika konsep GLB dan GLBB.
The Economy of Shark Conservation in the Northeast Pacific: The Role of Ecotourism and Citizen Science
Authors: Bear Michael
Published: July 2018

AbstractHistorically sharks have been seen either as a source of income through harvesting, or as a nuisance and danger. The economic value of sharks has traditionally been measured as the total value of sharks caught for liver oil, fins, or meat for consumption. Sharks have also been killed to near extinction in cases where they were seen as a threat to fisheries on other species. This is illustrated by the mass extermination of Basking Sharks (Cetorhinus maximus) in British Columbia. They were seen as a nuisance to fishermen as they got entangled in gill nets during the salmon fishing season. However with the development of the SCUBA diving industry, and ecotourism in general, increased awareness of the role sharks play in marine ecosystems has resulted in changes in how they are perceived and utilized. Despite an ongoing harvest of sharks such as the North Pacific Spiny Dogfish (Squalus suckleyi), sharks now generate economic value through SCUBA diving enthusiasts who travel the globe to see, swim with, and photograph them. The use of digital cameras and other digital media has brought sharks into households around the world and increased awareness of the conservation issues facing many species. This renewed appreciation has led to a better understanding of sharks by the public, resulting in advocates calling for better protections and conservation. In particular, a growing part of the SCUBA diving community wants to contribute to conservation and research projects, which has led to participation in citizen science projects. These projects provide scientific data but also gain ground as ecotourism activities, thus adding to both economic value of tourism and conservation efforts.
Regional Disparities in Brazilian Adult Mortality: an analysis using Modal Age at Death (M) and Compression of Mortality (IQR)
Authors: Pinheiro Pedro Cisalpino , Queiroz Bernardo L
Published: July 2018

This paper examines mortality differentials in Brazil and states between 1980 and 2010, using the Brazilian Ministry of Health Database. We use Modal age at death and measures of mortality compression to analyze regional and gender differences overtime and across regions. We estimate age-specific mortality rates by single ages using two approaches: Wilmoth and colleagues Log-Quad approaches and Topal´s method proposed by Schmertmann and Gonzaga and Schmertmann. Our results show that provincial disparities in mortality in general across regions of the country. Moreover, based on the modal age at death and the interquartile range (IQR) of ages at death. We find that there is a process of compression of mortality with increasing modal age at death.

Training proprioception and touch for ball handling in sports
Authors: Palacios Angel
Published: July 2018

Having a good sense of touch and proprioception is essential for ball handling in ball sports. Handling a ball requires the player to pay as little attention to the ball as possible in order for him to be able to pay attention to the other players around him or to the circumstances of the game. In order to do that, players need to develop their touch and proprioceptive senses and their mental system for managing their peripersonal space. Two approaches are described herein that allow players to train those senses to enhance their ball handling skills.

Published: July 2018

Keyword extraction is a fundamental task in naturallanguage processing that facilitates mapping of documents to a concise set of representative single and multi-word phrases. Keywords from text documents are primarily extracted using supervised and unsupervised approaches. In this paper, we present an unsupervised technique that uses a combination of theme-weighted personalized PageRank algorithm and neural phrase embeddings for extracting and ranking keywords. Wealso introduce an efficient way of processing text documents and training phrase embeddings using existing techniques. We share an evaluation dataset derived from an existing dataset that is used for choosing the underlying embedding model. The evaluations for ranked keyword extraction are performed on two benchmark datasets comprising of short abstracts (Inspec), and long scientific papers (SemEval 2010), and is shown to produce results better than the state-of-the-art systems.

Need for cognition and attributions in intimate relationships
Authors: LeBel Etienne P.
Published: July 2018

This paper has examined the relationship between cognitive processes and relationship satisfaction and has attempted to form a chain connecting these two conceptual ideas. I explored the concept of need for cognition and described how it was related to attributional complexity. In turn, I attempted to rationalize why attributional complexity would be associated to attributions individuals make in their relationships. Then, I delved into the connection between maladaptive attributions and relationship satisfaction. Finally, I examined the role creativity may play in the attributional process individuals endorse. It is hoped that the relationships between these constructs indeed arise and that future investigations can further refine our knowledge of cognitive processes that may affect relationship satisfaction. The more we understand how people perceive and interpret the behaviours of the people around them, the more we will potentially be able to help them become better, more accurate processors of social information.

Spike-triggered average electrical stimuli as input filters for bionic vision – a perspective.
Authors: Rathbun Daniel , Ghorbani Nima , Shabani Hamed , Zrenner Eberhart , Hosseinzadeh Zohreh
Published: July 2018

Bionic retinal implants are gaining acceptance in the treatment of blindness from degenerative diseases including retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. A current obstacle to the improved performance of such implants is the difficulty of comparing the results of disparate experiments. Another obstacle is the current difficulty in selectively activating the many different retinal ganglion cell types that are used as separate pathways for visual information to the brain. To address these obstacles, we propose a modelling framework based on white noise stimulation and reverse correlation.In this perspective, we first outline early developments in visual retinal physiology leading up to the implementation of white noise stimuli and spike-triggered averaging. We then review recent efforts to adapt the white noise method for electrical stimulation of the retina and some of the nuances of this approach. Based on such white noise methods, we describe a modelling framework whereby the effect of any arbitrary electrical stimulus on a ganglion cell’s neural code can be better understood. This framework should additionally disentangle the effects of stimulation on photoreceptor, bipolar cell and retinal ganglion cell – ultimately supporting selective stimulation of specific ganglion cell types for a more nuanced bionic retinal implant. Finally, we point to upcoming considerations in this rapidly developing domain of research.

PIBID E OS PROJETOS DE ENSINO DE FÍSICA
Authors: de Mello Luiz Adolfo
Published: July 2018

Vamos neste livro relatar a experiência da criação de um projeto de ensino no departamento de Física da Universidade Federal de Sergipe (UFS), através do programa institucional de Bolsa à Iniciação a Docência (PIBID). Relatam-se como os projetos de ensino de física inspiraram e estão inspirando os grupos, projetos e sites de ensino, assim como este projeto. Discutem-se as dificuldades e facilidades que encontramos para reunir e selecionar material didático para este projeto. O projeto é baseado na metodologia da “Aprendizagem baseada em Projetos”. Os referenciais teóricos utilizados são os da aprendizagem significativa de Ausubel, modelos mentais de Jhonson-Laird e concepções alternativas. Vamos apresentar as atividades desenvolvidas nas escolas participantes, as dificuldades e os resultados de sua aplicação. Finalmente, vamos relatar o engajamento e as percepções que nossos licenciandos estão tendo do projeto e de sua importância na formação profissional dos mesmos.Devido a diversas dificuldades, desde ordem operacional até de infraestrutura, muitos dos experimentos listados abaixo não foram aplicados como atividade do PIBID. Alguns foram realizados como demonstração, outros no show da Física e outros simplesmente foram utilizados na disciplina de instrumentação. Assim, as atividades que usamos rotineiramente e que já avaliamos e publicamos seus resultados terão uma apresentação diferenciada das demais. Enquanto nas ultimas nos restringiremos a apresentar o relatório com uma simples introdução explicativa, as primeiras serão precedidas por: Introdução, O uso das CTS no Projeto, Resultados e Conclusões, e Percepções dos bolsistas e supervisores. Deste modo esperamos documentar de forma detalhada o “espírito” do projeto. No caso particular das atividades do conteúdo de termodinâmica, acrescentamos um breve resumo da teoria da aprendizagem significativa e concepções prévias aplicadas a este tema.

Preprint: Kordsmeyer & Penke, "The association of three indicators of developmental instability with mating success in humans"
Authors: Kordsmeyer Tobias L. , Penke Lars
Published: July 2018

Developmental instability (DI) has been proposed to relate negatively to aspects of evolutionary fitness, like mating success. One suggested indicator is fluctuating asymmetry (FA), random deviations from perfect symmetry in bilateral bodily traits. A meta-analytically robust negative association between FA and number of lifetime sexual partners has been previously shown in men and women. We examined the relationship between bodily FA across twelve traits and indicators of quantitative mating success in 284 individuals (141 males, age 19-30 years). Two further indicators of DI, minor physical anomalies (MPAs) and asymmetry in palmar atd angles, were also assessed. For men, no significant associations were detected, whereas for women, unexpected positive relationships of FA with the number of lifetime sexual partners and one-night stands emerged. Thus, in a large sample and using a more highly aggregated FA index, our study fails to replicate previous findings, though equivalence testing also did not support deviation from previous meta-analytic estimates, especially for men. No associations were found for MPAs and FA in atd angles in either sex.

curriculums always become controversial in the educational site because any teachers and lecturer did not acceptable and suitable for the existence of curriculum itself. In example, the advance country like Texas and another countries still have problematic about existence of curriculum but they do not hold out with one principle and rule about curriculum itself, they always revise and make the evolution for the treatment in applying curriculum in schools.
Archaeology and the origins of human cumulative culture: a case study from the earliest Oldowan at Gona, Ethiopia.
Authors: Stout Dietrich
Published: July 2018

Homo sapiens’ capacity for the inter-generational accumulation of complex technologies, practices, and beliefs is central to contemporary accounts of human distinctiveness. However, the actual antiquity and evolutionary origins of cumulative culture are not known. Here we propose and exemplify a research program for studying the origins of cumulative culture using archaeological evidence. Our step-wise approach disentangles assessment of the observed fidelity of behavior reproduction from inferences regarding required learning mechanisms (e.g. teaching, imitation) and the explanation of larger-scale patterns of change. It is empirically grounded in technological analysis of artifact assemblages using well-validated experimental models. We demonstrate with a case study using a tool-making replication experiment to assess evidence of behavior copying across three 2.6 million-year-old Oldowan sites from Gona, Ethiopia. Results fail to reveal any effects of raw material size, shape, quality, or reduction intensity that could explain the observed details of inter-site technological variation in terms of individual learning across different local conditions. This supports the view that relatively detailed copying of tool-making methods was already a feature of Oldowan technological reproduction ~2.6 mya. We conclude with a discussion of prospects and implications for further research on the evolution of human cumulative culture.
Maximum-entropy and representative samples of neuronal activity: a dilemma
Authors: Porta Mana PierGianLuca , Rostami Vahid , Torre Emiliano , Roudi Yasser
Published: July 2018

The present work shows that the maximum-entropy method can be applied to a sample of neuronal recordings along two different routes: (1) apply to the sample; or (2) apply to a larger, unsampled neuronal population from which the sample is drawn, and then marginalize to the sample. These two routes give inequivalent results. The second route can be further generalized to the case where the size of the larger population is unknown. Which route should be chosen? Some arguments are presented in favour of the second. This work also presents and discusses probability formulae that relate states of knowledge about a population and its samples, and that may be useful for sampling problems in neuroscience.

Simultaneous Feedback Models with Macro-Comparative Cross-Sectional Data
Authors: Breznau Nate
Published: July 2018

Social scientists often work with theories of reciprocal causality. Sometimes theories suggest that reciprocal causes work simultaneously, or work on a time-scale small enough to make them appear simultaneous. Researchers may employ simultaneous feedback models to investigate such theories. Macro-comparative, cross-sectional survey research rarely tests reciprocal causality. This paper demonstrates how simultaneous feedback models are an exception, and under certain conditions are possible if not desirable to employ in such data. This methodological excursus demonstrates construction of simultaneous feedback models using a structural equation modeling perspective. This allows the researcher to test if a simultaneous feedback theory fits survey data, and test competing hypotheses. This paper presents methods in a manner and language amenable to the practicing social scientist who is not a statistician or matrix mathematician. The paper presents how to run the models using three popular software programs (MPlus, Stata and R) using an example of the theoretical public opinion and social policy relationship with ISSP survey data. Finally, it discusses how to test hypotheses and fit such models using an SEM approach.
