Investigation of Stress, Anxiety, Depression and Psychological Well-Being Levels of Individuals who Regularly Play Tennis
Authors: Yüceant Metin
Published: May 2022

This research was carried out to examine the stress, anxiety, depression and psychological well-being levels of individuals who regularly play tennis. The research group consisted of 450 individuals. In the study, “Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale,” “Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory” and “Psychological Well-Being Scale” were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data the normality test of the data was carried out by applying the Kolmogorov-Smirnov technique and the Skewness-Kurtosis coefficients. T-test was used to determine whether the stress, anxiety, depression and psychological well-being levels of individuals differ in terms of gender variable. One-way analysis of variance (Anova) technique was used to determine whether they differed in terms of tennis playing time. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis technique was used to examine the relationship between stress, anxiety, depression and psychological well-being. In addition, multiple regression analysis was applied to test how stress is a predictor of anxiety, depression and psychological well-being. According to the results obtained in the study, while there was no significant difference in the levels of stress, anxiety, depression and psychological well-being in terms of the gender variable (p>0.05), there was a significant difference in terms of the duration of playing tennis (p<0.05). While a positive and significant relationship was observed between stress, anxiety and depression, it was observed that there was a negative significant relationship between psychological well-being and stress, anxiety and depression. It has also been found that stress is a strong predictor of anxiety, depression and psychological well-being.
The Relationship between Indonesian Language Learning and the Environment
Authors: Dwita Nadia Fransiska
Published: May 2022

In learning especially Indonesian, the environment can affect the quality of student learning. The environment is an influential component in the implementation of teaching and learning activities. The environment can also support the course of teaching and learning activities in schools. Schools with a clean environment will make students learn comfortably and vice versa. Environmental-based Indonesian language learning is known to reduce the boredom experienced by students when teaching and learning activities are carried out. When students experience this, educators or teachers can invite students to take advantage of the surrounding environment as a fun learning medium. This can help students in rethinking the relationship between humans and the environment as well as being aware of and considering problems in the surrounding environment.

Sounds hard: Prosodic features reflect failure proximity and affective states during strenuous physical tasks
Authors: Emanuel Aviv , Ravreby Inbal
Published: May 2022

Physical effort exertion has a substantial affective influence, which can impact performance and adherence in athletes and the general population. Yet, both the level of effort exertion and affective state during exercise are hard to monitor without the use of questionnaires, which suffer from certain biases and inaccuracies. Here, we examined whether prosodic features, which are among the most prominent characteristics of human expression, reflect the effort level and its related affect during physical exercise. To this end, we extracted prosodic features from verbal affective valence ratings recorded in a previously published study (n = 20; 10 women; nobs = 2,428) of resistance exercises performed until task failure. We found that the mean and SD of the pitch predicted effort-related affective valence and proximity to task failure in the two subsets of the data, and in three separate physical exercises. These results imply that mean pitch elevation and the decrease of the SD of the pitch during effort exertion may serve as a signal of distress as task difficulty increases. Moreover, the consistency of the findings across different types of exercises suggests that the mean and the SD of the pitch may be used to monitor physical effort and affect in various settings and help uncover the nature of physical effort in its different manifestations.
MOTEMO-OUTDOOR: Guaranteeing safety against COVID-19 through outdoor and e-learning teaching innovation experiences of active learning in higher education
Authors: Mateo-Canedo Corel , Puig Neus Crespo , Muro Anna , Pros Ramón Cladellas , Méndez-Ulrich Jorge L. , Sanz Antoni
Published: May 2022

The containment measures in the face of the COVID-19 epidemic have posed a notable challenge for formal teaching-learning processes, which have had to be adapted to a context of health security. An active learning program, MOTEMO-OUTDOOR was tested on a sample of 273 university undergraduate students. A within-subjects design was carried out with an adaptation of the four discussion seminars to three formats: face-to-face synchronous indoor (in a classroom), face-to-face synchronous outdoor (in a green space) and virtual asynchronous at home. Each student was assigned to the indoor (2 seminars) and outdoor (2 seminars) conditions, and a subsample (n = 30) also participated in the virtual context in application of the university's COVID lockdown protocols. The impact of the experience was evaluated in 6 dimensions (learning experience, evaluative impact, hedonic experience, technical conditions, environmental conditions and security against COVID-19). The exploratory factor analysis revealed a structure of two higher-order factors, called learning experience and learning conditions.The results relative to the general sample revealed a higher learning experience in the outdoor compared to the indoor context, being the dimension of hedonic experience the one that supposes the greatest difference between both.In contrast, the outdoor context presented better scores in learning conditions, with the component of environmental conditions being the one that supposed a greater difference between both.The analysis of the subsample revealed the absence of differences in the learning experience between the face-to-face vs. virtual contexts, despite the fact that the latter had better scores in the learning context factor with moderate effect sizes. It is concluded that this adaptation through active methodologies to an outdoor context and a virtual context, allows to overcome part of the technical and environmental limitations and improves health security perception, guaranteeing the learning experience, and thus provide with versatility the teaching-learning processes in a higher education context.
Enhancing Learning and Retention with Distinctive Virtual Reality Environments and Mental Context Reinstatement
Authors: Essoe Joey Ka Yee , Reggente Nicco , Ohno Ai Aileen , Baek Younji Hera , Dell'italia John , Rissman Jesse
Published: May 2022

Memory is inherently context-dependent: internal and environmental cues become bound to learnt information, and the later absence of these cues can impair recall. Here, we developed an approach to leverage context-dependence to optimise learning of challenging, interference-prone material. While navigating through desktop virtual reality (VR) contexts, participants learnt 80 foreign words in two phonetically similar languages. Those participants who learnt each language in its own unique context showed reduced interference and improved one-week retention (92%), relative to those who learnt the languages in the same context (76%)—however, this advantage was only apparent if participants subjectively experienced VR-based contexts as “real” environments. A follow-up fMRI experiment confirmed that reinstatement of brain activity patterns associated with the original encoding context during word retrieval was associated with improved recall performance. These findings establish that context-dependence can be harnessed with VR to optimise learning and showcase the important role of mental context reinstatement.
Attention boost through media coverage? Agenda setting effects from news media coverage on topic selection of scientific journals
Authors: Leidecker-Sandmann Melanie , Koppers Lars , Lehmkuhl Markus
Published: May 2022

The fact that media emphasis of certain topics can increase their importance for the public has already been confirmed many times in agenda setting research. However, we are not aware of any study that examines if attention by news media on certain scientific topics correlates with or even has feedback effects on topic salience in scientific journals. The aim of our analysis is to examine how a scientific topic develops in scientific journals over time, namely before and after a point of conspicuous news media attention. Our analyses reveal a relationship between the amount of attention scientific papers receive through popular media and the amount of attention the respective topics receive from scientific journals. In more than 50 percent of the cases, after a scientific paper received a noticeable amount of news media coverage, more thematically similar articles were published in scientific journals than before. In this sense, here and there journalism can be considered as an agenda setter for the choice of topics in academic journals. Our findings may be interpreted in accordance to a publicity effect, namely that popular media coverage provides a scientific attention boost for scientific studies or topics that they would not have received without news media coverage.
The Rally 'round the Flag Effect in a Third Party: The Japanese Reaction to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Authors: Fukumoto Kentaro , Tabuchi Takahiro
Published: May 2022

Immediately after the onset of a war, the approval of the head of a government involved in the war suddenly surges. Known as the "rally 'round the flag effect", this phenomenon may well spill over to a third-party country not involved in the war. This paper specifically studies the case of the Japanese reaction to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We exploited the results of a survey which was already underway when the military conflict began. We identify the indirect rally effect of the war on citizens' support for governing parties by comparing respondents who joined the survey before or after the outbreak of the war. We found that the war increased the governing parties' popularity by around four percentage points, which is comparable to the size of direct rally effects. Upon the war, we should discount the popularity of a third party's incumbent to know its fundamental level.
SUPREMASI IMAN ATAS RASIO
Authors: Pandara Dolfie Paulus
Published: May 2022

Era postmodern yang terus berkembang menjadi era teknologi digital dengan kemampuan manusia mengembangkan mesin cerdas untuk pengambilan keputusan akan terus mengarahkan manusia menjadi makhluk otonom. Kebergantungan manusia kepada otonomi diri dapat membawa manusia makin intens bergulat dengan pergumulan diri dan kemudian merumuskan suatu allah internal sehingga membebaskan diri dari keterikatan spiritual eksternal. Otonomi menjadikan manusia berpusat pada diri dan mengandalkan kekuatan rasio dalam perjuangannya di dalam kosmos. Rasio menjadi poros bagi manusia postmodern dan era teknohumanisme dalam menyatakan eksistensi diri melalui perjuangan di dunia ini dan upaya penjelajahan kosmos. Dalam segala upaya itu, iman ortodoks yang dibangun atas dasar keyakinan Kristen adalah tidak rasional, ketinggalan jaman dan tidak dapat dipakai sebagai landasan pijak dalam sains dan kosmologi. Kebenaran dalam suatu pengetahuan lahir sebagai hasil proses berpikir dengan kekuatan rasio yang didukung bukti-bukti yang valid. Rasio menuntut bukti sebagai jaminan suatu kebenaran, sedangkan iman tidak dapat memaparkan bukti karena bersifat abstrak dan spekulatif. Rasional berarti menyingkirkan iman ortodoks Kristen.Apakah pra anggapan di atas benar? Tulisan ini hadir untuk menegaskan kembali esensi iman ortodoks Kristen yang berpusat pada Kristus dan firman-Nya sebagai presuposisi bagi sains dan kosmologi. Allah adalah kebenaran dan Ia menyatakan diriNya di dalam wahyu umum dan wahyu khusus. Allah menyatakan diri-Nya melalui karya ciptaanNya dan melalui firmanNya dalam Alkitab. Kosmos menyatakan kemuliaan Allah, Sang Pencipta kosmos. Kosmos tidak muncul dengan sendirinya tetapi Allah memberitahu manusia melalui Alkitab bahwa kosmos dicipta oleh Allah. Penyataan Allah ini hanya bisa diterima sebagai kebenaran dengan iman. Iman memberi pencerahan kepada rasio manusia sehingga timbul pengertian bahwa kosmos telah dicipta oleh Allah. Iman memberikan penerobosan yang melampaui dunia rasional masuk ke dalam level suprarasional sehingga sesuatu kebenaran yang dianggap tidak rasional dapat diterima secara rasional. Iman bersifat lebih mendasar dan supreme bukan untuk menghilangkan rasio tetapi untuk memfungsikan rasio kembali sesuai kehendak Allah. Iman menggayutkan diri manusia dengan Kristus Sang Logos yang oleh-Nya kosmos tercipta dan iman itu sendiri adalah anugerah Allah yang timbul karena pendengaran akan Firman Kristus.
Trajectories of development of post-Soviet identities: approaches, models, trends
Authors: Kazarinova Daria , DUNAMALYAN Norair
Published: May 2022

The problems of the post-Soviet space remain an extremely controversial topic with a high degree of uncertainty of the subject field. However, studies of post-Soviet identity are more conceptualized, and the relevance of the topic in theoretical and practical terms is reflected in a large array of studies. The analysis of this array consists in searching for common logic and differences in the development of identity processes in certain groups of post-Soviet countries. By analyzing the content elements of memory policy and symbolic policy, as well as their structural relationships, it is possible to define models of post-Soviet identity and draw conclusions about their further features. Basing on the analysis of Russian and English-language literature the interpretive models of post-Soviet identities are to be constructed. Visualizing the key messages of the symbolic and memory policy of the post-Soviet countries (tag clouds), as well as analyzing of the expert survey (N 12), the authors highlight the deepening of trends that have developed over three decades of post-Soviet history as well as the regionalization of post-Soviet identities grouped around several models: the model of “national-civilizational community”; “neo-Soviet” model; “geopolitical” or “anti-Imperial” identity; the model of finding a balance between state, ethnic and religious identities; transitional “Caspian” identities; ethno-cultural model. The survey on the post-Soviet identities shows the ongoing process of distancing the societies from the former USSR basing on the new forms of perception of social and political phenomena.
INCORPORATION OF THE KURDISH MINORITY INTO THE IRAQI STATE AND THE OTTOMAN INSTITUTIONAL LEGACY
Authors: Safina Aisylu
Published: May 2022

The article focuses on the impact of the Ottoman institutional legacy on ethno-confessional minorities incorporation into the post-imperial national states. Iraqi Kurdistan was selected as a relevant case for analysis. The tested hypothesis is that informal rules and practices exercise a significant influence on the political process in post-imperial societies, which, in case of compatibility of goals between informal and new formal institutions, can contribute positively to the formation of a stable structure of government. In this context, the author analyzes the interaction between the Kurdish communities and the centre in the Ottoman period, identifies the specificities of the Kurdish segment incorporation into the newly formed state of Iraq, and weighs the performance of consociational mechanisms established in Iraq's political system after Saddam Hussein's ouster. The application of such methodological approaches as neo-institutionalism and historical institutionalism makes it possible to define the institutional parameters of the Kurdish minority incorporation into Iraq and, through this lens, to assess the political performance in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. It is stated that the historical informal institutions of the Kurdish community remain functional and substitutive for the formal ones. At this point, the consociational pattern is assessed as the only possible solution that reduces transaction costs in the centre-periphery interaction.
ONLINE MEMORY OF THE SOVIET PAST: SOCIAL NETWORKS AS ALTERNATIVE ARENAS FOR DEBATES ABOUT USSR
Authors:   INION RAN, Dolgov Alexander
Published: May 2022

The article considers how social networks produce an online memory of the Soviet past. Social networks are described as arenas that are open and accessible to many actors. These actors operate in a freer discursive field, not limited in their activity by dominant narratives about the past. It has been noted that social media can be used by citizens as a means of discussing the shared past and can act as a counter to elite discourse. In order to understand how the discussion of the Soviet past is structured in social media, a qualitative content analysis of three online group records and comments on them was conducted. The goal was to examine the main themes and arguments, as well as the characteristics of the discussion that emerged. Three popular social networks in Russia were chosen: Vkontakte, Instagram and Facebook. Three records with the most generalizing topic, devoted to the Soviet past, were selected. It was shown that during the process of constructing new meanings and creating interpretations, the actors of online memory rely both on the official discourse of the political elite about the Soviet past and the Russian present and on their subjective biographies and personal experiences. At the same time, social networks provide opportunities for the creation of alternative and counternarratives. The conclusion is made about the «absorptive» properties of the memory of the Soviet past, since actors are able to build into it any current events, including the Covid-19 pandemic.
Political regimes and regime changes in the foam of the populist wave
Authors: Kharitonova Olga , Kudryashova Irina
Published: May 2022

The article studies populist regimes, their relationship with authoritarianism and democracy and modes of their transformation. First, the approaches to conceptualizing populism are critically analyzed; second, the concepts are systematized through the maneuvering on the ladder of abstraction; third, the ways of classifying populist regimes are studied, and fourth, the influence of populism on political regime change is assessed. The authors made an attempt of radial categorization of populism having distinguished its central and peripheral features. On the basis of the minimalist definition of populism by C. Mudde “the idea” revealing itself in the antiestablishment and will of the people discourse, was taken as a central category. Such approach allowed to distinguish three species of populism including ideational, personalist and charismatic, thus making the categorization applicable for comparative research. The conceptualization of populist regimes was reviewed. It is noted that populist regime is rarely conceptualized as a separate type of political regime and is more often associated with personalist regime or as a sub-type of democratic regime. The further development of the B.G. Peters and J. Pierre’s approach led to conclude that populism is a regime modification, inherent in all types if political regimes. Democratic and hybrid regimes are more inclined to such regime modification, that is why the populist regimes evolve multidirectionally. The study concludes that the establishment of populist regime in polities at different levels of political development – from consolidated democracies to premobilized authoritarian and democratic systems – leads to differentiation of functions. In the former cases populist regimes foster the redetermination of the effectiveness criteria for ruling elites and democratic governance in general, and in the latter – populist regimes support the general framework of the in-country political process by filling the institutional gaps.
The Syrian Turkmen actorness in the framework of a post-imperial nation-state
Authors: SEYIDLI S.A.
Published: May 2022

The article focuses on the issue of minorities political actorness during the current armed conflict in Syria. The author speculates on why a country where the ethno-confessional structure of the population has not changed significantly for decades, suddenly faced an intensive politicization of communal identities. The tested hypothesis is that this has emerged from a long process of the state capacities weakening both in the territorial and functional aspects. In this context, the author studies the community of Syrian Turkmen, the third largest ethnocultural group in the country. The selection of this case was guided not only by a lack of relevant in-depth studies, but also by the group's self-identification as a part of the Turkic (Ottoman) world. The application of “Brubaker's triangle” as an analytical tool made it possible to view the nationalism of such minorities in relation to the policies of the “nationalizing state” and “external national homeland”. The study involves analysis of (a) the system of regulation of socio-cultural pluralism in the Ottoman Empire, (b) the peculiarities of state- and nation-building in Syria and (c) the process of Turkmen community politicization during the civil conflict. It is concluded that its political actorness was formed due to such factors as violation of the “social contract” between the ruling elite and the population during the period of neoliberal reforms, the “external homeland” (Turkey’s) support, as well as the persistence of mechanisms of tribal solidarity and self-government among the Turkmen, which allowed them to partially implement the project of cultural autonomy in Northern Syria.
The impact of electricity investment on inter-regional economic development in Indonesia: An Inter-Regional Input-Output (IRIO) approach
Authors: Girik Allo Albertus , Dwiputri Inayati Nuraini , Maspaitella Marcus
Published: May 2022

Electricity is a development priority for low and middle income countries, including Indonesia, especially in the households living in suburban and rural areas. By 2020, Indonesia's electrification ratio has reached 96.71%. However, there were 433 villages that did not have electricity, most of which were located in eastern Indonesia (Papua, West Papua, East Nusa Tenggara, and Maluku). Investment in the electricity sector will drive regional economic growth. This research attempts to figure out the impact of investment in electricity on economy. This study used Indonesian inter-regional Input-Output data. The method used in this study was the Interregional Input-Output (IRIO) model. The analysis shows that electricity impacted not only the territory being built but also other regions in Indonesia. Electricity industry investment in Indonesia have been able to provide a multiplier effect on the economy as many as 3.11. Java region gets the greatest benefit from electricity development in Indonesia. This was rationally acceptable due to the fact that most of the industry was located in this region. This causes a development gap between Java and outside Java. It is necessary to accelerate reallocate several national strategic industries on various islands in Indonesia based on the advantages of each region and to strive for areas that are still "dark" to have electricity.JEL Classification E22; L94; R15

A comparison between Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) and logistic regression analysis was performed for classification problems on bank direct marketing data. CHAID Performance Comparison and comparison with Logistic Regression (LR) performance were also conducted. Priority performance with two statistical measures was evaluated: classification accuracy and sensitivity in the presence of data containing categorical imbalances. Random over sampling (ROS) was then applied to deal with class balance problems to get better performance of CHAID analysis. Segmentation analysis was also performed using the CHAID approach to improve the performance of the analysis results. CHAID outperforms LR because of its advantages that it can be used to perform segmentation modeling. Direct marketers should pay attention to traits are Duration, Month, Contact, and Housing. To get a higher subscription, the bank must extend the call duration. Based on these results, the banking industry needs to prepare regulations related to human resources, infrastructure, costs, and government support to achieve higher subscriptions.JEL Classification  A10; C10; G21

This study assesses the agricultural commercialization levels, determinants, and challenges confronting smallholder cassava farmers in Oyo State, Nigeria. This study was conducted in Oyo State, Nigeria using cross-sectional data from 211 smallholder cassava farmers and employing multi-stage sampling procedures. Descriptive statistics, Crop Commercialization Index (CCI), and Ordered Logit Model (OLM) were used to analyze the data collected. The results revealed that 83.9% of the cassava farmers participated in the commercialization of their cassava roots while the remaining farmers were non-participants. The greatest challenge faced by the cassava farmers in the study area was the incessant attacks by the Fulani herdsmen (destroying growing cassava on the farm) while other challenges included cassava cyclical gluts and poor access road. Moreover, OLM revealed that age, farm size, cassava marketing experience and distance to market had significant influence on commercialization levels of cassava farmers. However, in order to enhance increased commercialization levels of cassava farmers and peaceful coexistence in the study area, policies and intervention programmes that will facilitate rural infrastructure development and proffer lasting solution to the farmers-herders crisis should be given upmost priority.JEL Classification D13; M31; Q19

The aim of this article is to provide a theoretical definition of the financial aspect of liquidity of enterprises, to improve the classification of the types of liquidity and determine its functions. The subject of the study is to consider the problematic issues of classification of the types of liquidity, which are manifested in the object or subject in the form of a three-level hierarchical structure at the macro- and micro levels of management and the interconnections between them. The theoretical foundations of financial and economic categories of "liquidity" are presented in the works of A. Marshall, A. Montchrestien, W. Petty, A. Smith, W. Stafford and others. J Keynes and K. Marx made a significant contribution to the development of this theory.  At the present stage of consideration the enterprises liquidity, the works of many Ukrainian and foreign economists are devoted: S. Brue, S. Myers, K. McConnell, I. Fischer, M. Friedman, J. Hicks, P. Laiko, L. Lakhtionova, E. Nikbacht and A. Gropelli, A. Podderyogin, G. Savitskaya and others. However, these issues have not been sufficiently investigated in the published scientific works. Financial stability is the basis of every enterprise in a market economy. In this process, the priority is to ensure its liquidity. Many scientific works of both foreign and Ukfainian scientists are devoted to the study of various aspects of liquidity. However, so far there is no clearly defined system of theoretical conclusions on the assessment of the enterprises liquidity. Remains undisclosed or debatable questions about the place and role of liquidity in the financial management of the enterprise, the classification of its types needs to be improved. This has a negative impact on the possibilities for efficient liquidity management. Therefore, the problem of ensuring liquidity in a market economy remains relevant.
