Do You Share What You Believe? An Empirical Investigation of Recipients’ Reactions to Scientists’ Posts on Social Media
Authors: Nowak Bianca , Krämer Nicole
Published: January 2025

To understand user interactions with scientists’ posts, we investigate how characteristics of the recipient (motivation, need for cognition, trust in scientists) and the posts (scientific jargon, attitude alignment) affect recipients’ understanding, credibility assessment, and intention to like, share, and comment on social media. Using a mixed-subjects design (N = 726), we identified the posts’ credibility as the central factor for public engagement. The results show that motivational factors play a crucial role in message evaluation, but we observe differences based on the type of engagement and attitude-alignment. This study underlines the importance of audience design as scientific jargon can either boost or diminish credibility.
The neuroeconomics of social inﬂuence and contagion
Authors: Su Zhilin , Lockwood Patricia
Published: January 2025

People often adjust their behaviours and preferences to align with others, a phenomenon termed social inﬂuence or social contagion. Social inﬂuence can have a profound effect on our economic preferences, with important implications for ﬁnancial decision-making and making rational choices. Here we review recent ﬁndings in neuroeconomics, elucidating the psychological, computational, and neural mechanisms that underpin social inﬂuence during value-based decision-making. We examine how others’ decisions can shift our own economic preferences, regarding risk-taking, temporal discounting, effort discounting, and moral preferences. Additionally, we discuss the lifespan similarities and differences in susceptibility to social inﬂuence. Finally, we cover studies revealing the neural basis of susceptibility to social inﬂuence and highlight key common brain areas across studies that could underpin these effects. We end by considering the implications of strong evidence of susceptibility to social inﬂuence on economic preferences, the challenges and opportunities of this inﬂuence and how future studies could harness it to create positive changes across the lifespan.
Enhanced Recovery After Spine Surgery: An analysis of the interventions that improve quality of patient care, recovery, and outcome
Authors: Borkotoky Abhigyan , Ahmed Shameem , Dutta Deep
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The application of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in spine surgeries remain relatively underrepresented in the existing literature. Despite significant research efforts in this field, a consistent standardization of ERAS practices for spine surgeries has yet to be established.
Material and Methods: We have successfully implemented an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol across a range of spinal procedures. Our comprehensive ERAS protocol encompasses various key elements, such as minimally invasive surgery, avoidance of drains or catheters, multimodal analgesia, early initiation of enteral feeding, prompt mobilization and rehabilitation, and an emphasis on facilitating early patient discharge. These areas span from pre-hospitalization optimization to postoperative care, including monitoring patient satisfaction and tracking outcomes.
Result: During a 100-day study period, 54 patients were enrolled in the investigation. The implementation of Multimodal Analgesia (MMA) resulted in a significant reduction in pain for all patients. However, four patients experienced Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV). Enteral feeding commenced four hours following anesthesia recovery, and mobilization was initiated approximately ten hours after the surgical procedure. Comprehensive rehabilitative care was introduced within 14 to 16 hours post-surgery. On average, patients remained in the hospital for approximately 29 hours. This approach demonstrates the potential for effective pain management and a relatively short hospital stay for patients undergoing this procedure.
Conclusion: Efforts to implement ERAS principles in spinal procedures have shown promise, with some studies indicating potential benefits such as shorter hospital stays, reduced postoperative pain, and quicker return to daily activities.

Escaping in Kate Chopin’s ‘The Awakening’, ‘A Respectable Woman’, and ‘The Kiss’
Authors: Aryal Kamana
Published: January 2025

This research paper deals with how the protagonists of the ‘The Awakening’, ‘A Respectable Woman’ and ‘The Kiss’ try to escape from the reality in the name of freedom and right. The heroines desire to experience both wealth and liberation at once which seem barely possible. This drags them to commit adultery, to intrigue to taste the sexual liberty and baffle the loved one to enjoy the opulence. They are running away from one scenario to other only to fulfil their hidden desires. Either way, they seem to fail to perform their each responsibility as patriarchy becomes the obstacle to prove them wrong. Their awakening comes only by sacrificing their intimate relationships. Their awareness about the sense of self and sexuality weigh colossally which should be paid by the heroines by surrendering to the patriarchy. The theories of feminism and psychoanalysis are richly used in this paper to justify the reason behind the escaping of the protagonists.

Authors: Parajuli Raju
Published: January 2025

Due to the changing nature of time, learners' varied needs and explosion of new knowledge and scientific invention, our usual teaching techniques might not function efficiently to enhance better learning environment. Effective teaching-learning can be maximized when teachers continuously involve themselves in professional development activities. However, the activities that teachers employ to be professionally equipped have not been explored in the context of study area. In this regard, this study aims to explore the activities related with the professional development adopted by secondary level teachers.  The researcher adopted survey design (census data) under quantitative research method. It is based on the data from structured-questionnaire among 122 secondary level teachers from 31 secondary level schools of Tansen Municipality of Palpa district. The sample size is confined to those who are teaching Science, Math, Nepali and English subject in secondary level. Univariate analysis is used to explore the socio-demographic and professional development characteristics of the respondents. The results revealed that seven out of ten teachers are associated with professional development. And bivariate analysis is used to assess the effect of school type, and gender on professional development. Four out of five female teachers are associated with professional development. Results further showed that most of the teachers have enrolled in education faculty which helps teachers to be pedagogically competent. Most of the teachers are professionally aware to update themselves for teacher development. This study provides new insight on professional development in the sense that all the teachers have adopted fundamental strategies of professional development.
Perceptions Towards English Education Program Offered by Open and Distance Education Centre at Tribhuvan University: A CIPP Evaluation
Authors: Bhusal Durga Raj , Bhandari Laxman Prasad
Published: January 2025

The evaluation system of university education has drawn increasingly significant attention to greater accountability and enhancement of student learning outcomes, as well as the overall effectiveness of educational programs in achieving their intended objectives. Using Stuffle beam's context, input, process, and product (CIPP) Model (1983), this study evaluates the Master’s of Education (M.Ed.) English Program offered by the Open and Distance Education Centre (ODEC) at Tribhuvan University. Employing case study inquiry as a research methodology, the study delves deep into exploring teachers and students’ perceptions and practices through unstructured interviews with four teacher and student participants. Data collected from interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis techniques outlined by Schreier (2012) and thematic analysis methods proposed by Braun and Clarke (2006). The findings highlight that the primary motive for choosing an open and distance learning program is the opportunity to pursue a degree while continuing a job for the students. Furthermore, the ODEC found emphasizing the delivery of quality education through relevant coursework and effective teaching strategies aiming to enhance knowledge and pedagogical expertise in English language education. However, participants revealed several challenges, including their inefficiency in using technological devices, excessive workloads, unreliable electricity and internet connectivity, and the requirement to attend traditional pen-and-paper assessments at the end of each semester, among others. Consequently, the study recommends that the evaluation system be adapted to accommodate the geographical diversity of students, their employment commitments, and technological limitations, thereby ensuring greater flexibility and accessibility.
A Study on the Emergence and Succession of Family Mottos in the Late Period of the Joseon Dynasty: Based on the Cases of the Rhojongpa Family of Yun from the Papyeong Clan
Authors:   THE  TAEDONG  CENTER  FOR  EASTERN  CLASSICS, KO Min-Jung
Published: January 2025

This study has considered the emergence and succession of family mottos in the late period of the Joseon Dynasty, based on the cases of the Rhojongpa family of Yun from the Papyeong clan. The Rhojongpa family of Yun from the Papyeong clan moved in Nisanhyeon town, and his son Yun Chang-se took up the residence in Byeongsari village. Afterward, ｢Family Mottos｣ were written by Yun-hwang, followed by ｢Family Sect Rules｣ of Yun Sun-geo, ｢ Book on Funeral Rite｣ and ｢Book on Ancestral Ritual of Yun-jeung, and ｢Book on Family Heritance｣ of Yun Gwang-so, in turn. These texts on family mottos were finally compiled in ｢Law of the Rhoseong Family｣ by Yun Hong-gyu.
These texts were left finished, as descendants themselves had practiced and passed down the family mottos of the ancestors to write the sequels to ｢Family Mottos｣, complementarily, according to the way they needed. Taking this into account, it must be noted that descendants not only practiced and passed down the family mottos but also undertook the activity of writing.
Besides, these family mottos were written in a form of Haengyeseo or Code on Courtesy, for the purpose of practicing the Confucian idea. from the first time. In this regard, the family of Yun from the Papyeong clan reflected the Code on Courtesy advocated by Seoins, with the focus on practicing the four ceremonial occasions of coming of age, wedding, funeral, and ancestral rites, and put weight on frugal life that the family emphasized since there had started appearing the family mottos, in constant concert with the trend of periodic custom. This shows that the family of Yun from the Papyeong clan established their specific family courtesy by continuing to practice family mottos and compile books on family mottos, over an about 2-century period.

Rivers have a significant role in the coastal sediment budget as the primary sources of natural sediment. Furthermore, it's critical to understand the actual contribution of river sediment load to the littoral beach. Due to the practicality of the measures, the information regarding river measurements is scarce making this difficult. This study focused on the Maha Oya River, which is situated on a severely eroding coastline on Sri Lanka's western coast between Negombo and Chilaw. In this instance, the river sediment load was captured by two streamer-type sediment traps along the upper 2 km streams of the Maha Oya River, but only one of them was recovered. The sediment trap was retrieved for the months of December 2021–February 2022 (recovery 1) and March 2022–October 2022 (recovery 2). During two recovery periods, we concurrently collected forty-four beach samples from the swash zone and berm crest on either side of the Maha Oya River. For recovery periods one and two, the retained sediment weights are 3.7 and 726 grams, respectively. Additionally, the statistical properties of a grain size distribution, skewness, kurtosis, median grain size (D50) and the littoral cutoff diameter (LCD) value were investigated. Average D50 value on the beach was found to be 394 μm of medium sand that was moderately sorted, symmetrical, and mesokurtic, compared to 655 μm of coarse sand that was poorly sorted, fine skewed, and mesokurtic in river sediment. The LCD value on the beach under study was 141 μm indicating that the river sediment below LCD may not have remained on the beach in any significant quantity. The literature states that river sand mining caused the sediment load via the Maha Oya River to decrease from 0.15 mcm/year in 1984 to 0.05 mcm/year in 2001. Our calculations show that in 2022, this number will be further decreased to 0.01 mcm/year. Thus, it is highlighted that there is a major shortage of river sand input into the coast, which may be the cause of the disastrous erosion occurring in the surrounding coastal cells.
DETERMINANT FACTORS OF CASH HOLDING: EVIDENCE FROM INDONESIA
Authors: Gracias Dominico Laudentio , Osesoga Maria Stefani
Published: January 2025

Abstract— This study analyzed the effect of profitability, net working capital, cash conversion cycle, dividend policy, and leverage on cash holding in consumer goods industry companies’ period 2019-2021. Determining the optimal level of cash holding is essential for a company, as excessively high cash holding can result in missed investment opportunities and returns, while low cash holding can disrupt operational activities and debt default or bankruptcy. The sample in this study was taken using a purposive sampling method. The objects in this study are 20 consumer goods industry companies that were listed on the IDX consecutively during 2019-2021.  Secondary financial report data was evaluated using multiple linear regression. The result of this research indicates that profitability (ROA), net working capital (NWC), and dividend policy (DPR) have a significant positive effect on cash holding, leverage (DTA) has a significant negative effect on cash holding, and cash conversion cycle (CCC) has no effect cash holding. According to the findings, profitability, net working capital, dividend policy, and leverage can be used as a point of reference to predict a company’s cash holding.  We suggest the company more effectively and efficiently manage its assets to generate substantial profits and consequently optimize its cash holding. This study was conducted in the consumer goods industry sector, which had the greatest average level of cash holding.  This research differs because it estimates cash holding by combining financial ratios primarily from an asset perspective and management policy (dividend policy).

Effectiveness of pumpkin cultivation in crop rotation on forest brown soil
Authors: Beglaryan Inga , Eloyan Arevik , Daveyan Sevak , Jhangiryan Tatevik , Yeritsyan Seryoja , Gasparyan Gayane
Published: January 2025

Background: The rapid growth of the global population, coupled with the challenges posed by a changing climate, is creating significant obstacles in food production worldwide. As agricultural practices intensify to meet rising demand, the strain on land resources has increased in recent years, accelerating land degradation processes. Land degradation represents a significant challenge to ensuring global food security. One of the key strategies for promoting sustainable agriculture is crop rotation and the preservation of biodiversity. Properly implemented crop rotation enhances soil fertility, reduces pest populations, and improves nutrient availability. It also enhances food's functional value, supporting environmental and nutritional sustainability.
Objective: The research was conducted in two communities of Syunik Marz, RA, to study the efficiency of pumpkin cultivation in forest brown soils under crop rotation conditions. 
Methods: The research was conducted from 2017 to 2024, during which a crop rotation scheme was implemented on 100 hectares of land. Pumpkin yield indicators and functional value were studied under monoculture and crop rotation conditions. 
Results: Monoculture pumpkin farming, however, encountered severe issues such as fungal diseases (shriveling and false shriveling) and tick infestations, problems absent under crop rotation conditions. Additionally, the nutritional and functional values of the pumpkin were enhanced. The study revealed that under crop rotation conditions, the content of soluble solids in pumpkin fruits was 1.46%, dry matter 1.63%, reducing sugars 1.63%, and total sugars 1.63% higher than in pumpkins grown under monoculture conditions. In contrast, monoculture pumpkin farming faced significant issues with fungal diseases like shriveling and false shriveling and tick infestations, which were not present when pumpkins were grown using crop rotation. 
Conclusion: Under crop rotation conditions in forest brown soils, humus, and water-stable aggregates' content is higher than in monoculture cultivation. The pumpkin yield under crop rotation conditions increased by 5 tons per hectare compared to monoculture cultivation. The functional element levels for the mentioned crop sequence were higher than pumpkins grown in monoculture. 
Keywords: Crop rotation, pumpkin, functional food, bioactive compound, intensification.
A Non-Ergodic Framework for Understanding Emergent Capabilities in Large Language Models
Authors: Marin Javier
Published: January 2025

Large language models have emergent capabilities that come unexpectedly at scale, but we need a theoretical framework to explain why and how they emerge. We prove that language models are actually non-ergodic systems while providing a mathematical framework based on Stuart Kauffman's theory of the adjacent possible (TAP) to explain capability emergence. Our resource-constrained TAP equation demonstrates how architectural, training, and contextual constraints interact to shape model capabilities through phase transitions in semantic space. We prove through experiments with three different language models that capacities emerge through discrete transitions guided by constraint interactions and path-dependent exploration. This framework provides a theoretical basis for understanding emergence in language models and guides the development of architectures that can guide capability emergence.

Authors: Muhammad Abba Bello , Olawoyin Ishaq O. , Yahaya Abubakar , Gulumbe S. U. , Muhammad Abdullahi. A. , Salisu Iliyasu Abubakar
Published: January 2025

This study checked the credit risk analysis domain, concentrating on assessing the efficacy of six distinct credit scoring methodologies: linear discriminant analysis, logistic regression, artificial neural networks, support vector machine, decision tree and, K-nearest neighbour on microcredit applicant’s data. Two performance metrics were used: Area under the receiver operative characteristic curve and, Precision. The results obtained from the experimentation phase reveal distinct performance levels for each technique. Specifically, K-nearest neighbour and artificial neural networks showcase exceptional prowess, yielding an AUC of 0.9833 and 0.9062 and, an impressive precision score of 0.8065 and 1 respectively. In contrast, logistic regression and support vector machine demonstrate a good performance with an area under the curve value of 0.8537 and 0.8532 respectively, on precision metric score, support vector machine showed impressive high performance while logistic regression performed poorly. Linear discriminant analysis and Decision tree exhibit comparatively moderate accuracy scores and achieved an AUC of 0.8494318 and 0.7524 respectively. Thus, we underscore the potential of K-nearest neighbour and Artificial neural networks as a superior method for credit risk analysis, supported by robust performance metrics. Although, all techniques achieve significantly good discriminative power and good precision. The findings advocate for the adoption of modern techniques in credit scoring modelling, positioning K-nearest neighbour and Artificial neural networks as a valuable tool in financial institutions’ risk assessment processes.

Published: January 2025

Provenance study of Bima group of the Upper Benue Trough around Wuyo village was carried out on fresh representative samples. The petrographic results suggest the sandstones to be arkosic arenites, the average composition of the three rock forming minerals as observed are; 40% quartz, 46% feldspar and 3% rock fragments. The higher percentage of feldspar, the sphericity of the grain sizes which are largely sub-angular to sub-rounded and the poorly sorted nature of the sandstones as well as ZTR index of 60.3% from the heavy minerals analysis suggest immature sediments, they are deposited close to their source area. The coarse grain Sandstone in the study area were deposited by fluviatile system while the fine grain sandstone and clay were deposited in a lacustrine environment. The dominance of monocrystalline quartz as well as the Microscopic examination of the heavy minerals contained in the sandstones of the study area revealed that the sediments originated from dominantly granitic source and deposited by a moderate to high energy level shallow water continental conditions. The sutured contact, polycrystalline quartz crystals and the undulose extinction exhibited by some of the few quartz crystals in the petrographic studies is as a result of stress the sediment went through after deposition.

Parasitic infections are one of the factors limiting fish in the wild for sustainable productivity. The study was carried out to determine the gastrointestinal helminth parasite associated with Parachanna obscura and Heterotis niloticus and their prevalence concerning sex and size (length and weight). Sixty (60) fishes (30 H. niloticus and 30 P. obscura) were bought from fishmongers from the Anambra River. They were examined through dissection and observation of the alimentary canal under the microscope's objective lens. The overall prevalence of the parasites in Heterotis niloticus was 83.33%. The parasites recovered were Tenuisentis niloticus 16 (53.33%), Sandonella sandoni 8 (26.67%) and Capillaria species 1 (3.33%). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth among the sexes (p> 0.05). However, the parasite species had a significant difference in prevalence (p< 0.05). In P. obscura, the overall prevalence of the parasite was 73.33% and only one parasite species, Procamallanus species was recovered. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth among sexes (p= 0.096, p>0.05) and fish size. Further studies are required to consider the probable zoonotic transmission of parasitic diseases from fish. It concluded that the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth parasites of these species is high and this may affect the fish quality.
