Authors: Batubara Maryam
Published: May 2023

PAUD is an institution that has a mission to grow, teach, foster and develop potential and talents according to their development. This research belongs to or uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out by reading 28 reference books and reading sources related to the object of research. The research results show that UNESCO is important in organizing PAUD. PAUD itself is a very profitable form of investment for families, communities and children. Judging from its advantages that PAUD can help get the right stimulation for growth and development and influence the success of children in the future, for families investing in PAUD will be able to shape the personality of children who are quality and able to compete at the local, regional and global levels. Likewise with the community, through investment at the PAUD level children will be trained and fostered on how to interact, ethics, morals, and rules that exist in society. Thus later the child can carry out his role as part of society.

Behaviour in the wild: A computational ethology approach to the study of human behaviour
Authors: Sauter Disa , Kamiloglu Roza Gizem , Sun Rui
Published: May 2023

Predicting and understanding how, when, and why we behave like we do is a perennial challenge for scientists interested in understanding human behaviour, including psychologists, economists, and sociologists. We propose that scientific understanding of human life can be accelerated by large-scale computational studies of behaviour in everyday contexts. Specifically, we propose taking a computational ethology approach. Ethology pioneered the systematic study of behaviour in real-world settings in the early 20th century; recent advances in computational methods allow for such studies to be scaled up by using video and audio recordings to map specific behaviours to ecologically relevant stimuli. To illustrate this approach, we outline a recent study using this method to analyse real-world laughter. We highlight advantages and challenges of this approach for social as well as computational scientists. In sum, we argue that the synthesis of ethology and computational methods offers unique potential for generating insights into the complexities of human behaviour in the wild.
Hormetic sexuality and eroticism promote healthy ageing
Authors: Kyriazis Marios
Published: May 2023

Eroticism in later life is, on the whole, a taboo subject, and the stigma attached to expressions of sexual intent by older people is widespread in most cultures. However, sexuality and eroticism have an important role to play in maintaining healthy ageing. Sexuality is an essential aspect of our biology and its effects have repercussions in systems and organs other than the sexual. In this chapter I review the importance of developing a sexual-erotic element in later life, an element that is intimately coupled with the phenomenon of hormesis. In hormesis, there is biological benefit following exposure to a mild stimulus or challenge, whereas exposure to a higher dose of the same stimulus becomes detrimental. Innovative sexual stimulation can be seen as a hormetic opportunity to initiate beneficial effects on the entire ageing human organism. The intention is to show that, health benefits may be obtained not only through physical (exercise), nutritional, mental or pharmacological challenges, but also through sexual stimulation of the appropriate magnitude and quality. By enhancing erotic stimulation, it may be possible to experience many other benefits spanning several domains such as the endocrine, immune, circulatory and neurological. In addition, within an increasingly information-rich world, sexuality may play a part in improving adaptation to various cognitive external stimuli originating from our technological ecosystem.
KEBERADAAN PERADILAN ADAT PASCA LAHIRNYA UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 6 TAHUN 2014 TENTANG DESA
Authors: TERWARAT BENEDIKTUS AKEL A.
Published: May 2023

Politik hukum pemerintahan desa ini menjadi titik awal lahirnya kembali peradilan adat yang mana tidak disebutkan secara jelas dan eksplisit terkait dengan istilah peradilan adat. Dengan berlakunya Undang-Undang Desa nomor 6 tahun 2014, memberikan wewenang lebih kepada desa adat dalam rangka menyelenggarakan proses penyelesaian sengketa melalui lembaga peradilan adat yang sesuai dengan hukum adat yang sejak dahulu dipraktekan atau dipertahankandi desa adat dalam lingkungannya sehingga sesuai dengan prinsip Hak Asasi Manusia, yang juga menjunjung penyelesaian secara mufakat. Oleh sebab itu maka jelas bahwa peradilan adat (peradilan desa adat) secara normatif diakui keberadaanya serta tidak bertentangan dengan konstitusi kita yakni UUD NRI Tahun 1945. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keberadaan peradilan adat pasca lahirnya Undang-Undang Desa. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan metode pendekatan statute approachatau pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dengan dilakukan studi kepustakaan. Hasilnya menunjukan bahwa keberadaan peradilan adat telah ada dan diakui keberadaannya sejak masa penjajahan kolonial Belanda dan masih tetap dipertahakan keberadaannya hingga awal kemerdekaan. Namun, seketika menjadi sangat lemah kendati tidak mematikan dengan lahirnya Undang-undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1979 tentang Pemerintahan Desa, sebagai akibat dari politik hukum pemerintahan desa. Namun, akhirnya angin segar terkait pengakuan keberadaan peradilan adat pun datang dengan diberlakukannya Udang-undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 Tentang Desa.

INITIATING JOINT ATTENTION: SINGLE-CASE EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
Authors: Georgio Gertrude
Published: May 2023

Joint attention (JA) is the ability to coordinate attention between a social partner and the referent (object) in a social context. During JA episodes, individuals build social knowledge and experience with perspective-taking. JA is a pre-linguistic skill critical for social development, language acquisition, and cognitive development (Vaughan Van Hecke et al., 2007). The ability to adopt a common point of view or frame of reference leads to the development of social cognition (Mundy, 2017). JA behaviors emerge in the first six months of life and solidify around 18 months of typical development (Bakeman & Adamson, 1984). The single case study features the analysis of a behavioral-based intervention featuring differential reinforcement without extinction to teach three autistic children to initiate joint attention through remote training and supervision. Joint attention behavior as a socially valid goal and the intervention as a socially valid intervention is evaluated through the assent behavior of participants.

TransPPG: Two-stream Transformer for Remote Heart Rate Estimate
Authors: Ruiqi
Published: May 2023

Non-contact facial video-based heart rate estima- tion using remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) has shown great potential in many applications (e.g., remote health care) and achieved creditable results in constrained scenarios. However, practi- cal applications require results to be accurate even under complex environment with head movement and unstable illumination. Therefore, improving the performance of rPPG in complex environment has become a key challenge. In this paper, we pro- pose a novel video embedding method that embedseach facial video sequence into a feature map re- ferred to as Multi-scale Adaptive Spatial and Tem- poral Map with Overlap (MAST Mop), which con- tains not only vital information but also surround- ing information as reference, which acts as the mir- ror to figure out the homogeneous perturbations imposed on foreground and background simulta- neously, such as illumination instability. Corre- spondingly, we propose a two-stream Transformer model to map the MAST Mop into heart rate (HR), where one stream follows the pulse signal in the facial area while the other figures out the perturba- tion signal from the surrounding region such that the difference of the two channels leads to adap- tive noise cancellation. Our approach significantly outperforms all current state-of-the-art methods on two public datasets MAHNOB-HCI and VIPL-HR. As far as we know, it is the first work with Trans- former as backbone to capture the temporal depen- dencies in rPPGs and apply the two stream scheme to figure out the interference from backgrounds as mirror of the corresponding perturbation on fore- ground signals for noise tolerating.

Study preregistration has become increasingly popular in psychology, but its effectiveness in restricting potentially biasing researcher degrees of freedom remains unclear. We used an extensive protocol to assess the strictness of preregistrations and the consistency between preregistration and publications of 300 preregistered psychology studies. We found that preregistrations often lack methodological details and that undisclosed deviations from preregistered plans are frequent. Combining the strictness and consistency results highlights that biases due to researcher degrees of freedom are prevalent and likely in many preregistered studies. More comprehensive registration templates typically yielded stricter and hence better preregistrations. We did not find that effectiveness of preregistrations differed over time or between original and replication studies. Furthermore, we found that operationalizations of variables were generally more effectively preregistered than other study parts. Inconsistencies between preregistrations and published studies were mainly encountered for data collection procedures, statistical models, and exclusion criteria. Our results indicate that, to unlock the full potential of preregistration, researchers in psychology should aim to write stricter preregistrations, adhere to these preregistrations more faithfully, and more transparently report any deviations from the preregistrations. This could be facilitated by training and education to improve preregistration skills, as well as the development of more comprehensive templates.
Father, don’t forgive them, for they could have known what they’re doing
Authors: Kirfel Lara , Bunk Xenia , Zultan Ro'i , Gerstenberg Tobias
Published: May 2023

What someone knew matters for how we hold them responsible. In three studies, we explore people’s responsibility judgments for negative outcomes to knowledgeable versus ignorant agents. We manipulate whether agents arrived at their knowledge state unintentionally or willfully. In Experiment 1, agents who knew about the harmful consequences of their actions were judged highly responsible no matter how they came to know. In contrast, willfully ignorant agents were judged more responsible than unintentionally ignorant agents. Participants inferred that willfully ignorant agents were more likely to believe that their action might cause harm. When we explicitly stipulate the agents’ beliefs in Experiment 2, the ‘willful ignorance’ effect reduces but persists. Participants inferred that the willfully ignorant agent was more likely to have acted anyhow even if they had known. Explicitly stating whether the agent’s action depended on their knowledge further reduced the ‘willful ignorance’ effect in Experiment 3.
Van Til et al. (in press). Exploring the structure of fearlessness using self-report measures
Authors: Van Til Kaela , Miller Josh , CARTER NATHAN T , Lynam Donald
Published: May 2023

Fearlessness is often discussed in relation to clinical and personality research. However, there is a paucity of research focusing on its empirical structure, in particular with self-report measures. The present study examined the hierarchical structure of self-reported fearlessness and compared this structure to external criterion measures. Using a pre-registered analytical approach, we employed Goldberg's (2006) "bass-ackward" factor analysis on self-reported trait fear and fearlessness items to uncover the hierarchical structure of the construct. The final sample consisted of 619 participants and 562 informants. By assessing fit statistics and interpretability of the factors, we found a six-factor model fit the data best. The six-factor solution emerged as comprehensive and included components labeled Assertiveness, Low Anxiety, Sociability, Recklessness, Openness to Action, and Adventurousness. Criterion variables measuring boldness, fear, anxiety, psychopathy, basic personality traits, and impulsivity, were correlated with the factor scores at each factor level of the model. The findings from this study elucidate how trait fearlessness unfolds at varying levels and how these factors relate to and diverge from various outcomes.
Exploring Open Science Practices in Behavioural Public Policy Research

Published: May 2023

In their book `Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness', Thaler and Sunstein argue that choice architectures are promising public policy interventions. This research programme motivated the creation of so-called `nudge units' which aim to apply insights from behavioural science to improve public policy. We take a close look at a meta-analysis of the evidence gathered by two of the largest and most influential nudge units using statistical techniques to detect reporting biases. We find evidence suggestive of selective reporting on the full dataset, although this pattern is not robust in subgroup analyses. We therefore additionally evaluate the public pre-analysis plans from the Office of Evaluation Sciences. We find that the analysis plans and reporting usually lack sufficient detail to evaluate (unintentional) reporting biases. Nevertheless, we identify several instances of excellent practice. We additionally highlight several improvements that would enhance the effectiveness of the pre-analysis plans and reports as a means to combat reporting biases. We believe our findings and suggestions can further improve the evidence base on which policy decisions are made.
Parental similarities – Associations with their life and their children’s self-regulation
Authors: Goellner Lars , Pinquart Martin , Forstmeier Simon
Published: May 2023

This study investigates whether parents resemble in self-regulation, parenting, and intellectual level. Furthermore, the study tested if the similarity between the parents or rather the total available amount of these parental variables was related to their partnership quality, life satisfaction, and mental health as well as to the development of their children’s self-regulation. Participants included mother-father-child triads (N = 54; children: R = 9-11 y.). Parental as well as children’s self-regulation was measured with the help of a behavioral delay of gratification test while the other variables were collected via self-report scales. The results showed positive and significant correlations between parental delay of gratification, delay discounting, authoritarian parenting, intellectual level, and mental health. Furthermore, it was shown that some parental similarities play an important role for the parent’s life – similarity in delaying gratification was connected to more partnership quality – and children’s development – similar parenting correlated positively with delay of gratification. However, other parental and children´s variables were associated with the total available amount of parental resources – the total sum of parental delay of gratification was related to less parental depression and more delay of gratification of the children. The findings of the study support the idea that partners resemble on different variables. The question if rather similarities or the total amount of the variables were positively associated to the parent’s life and the children’s development could not be answered clearly.
The Learnability of the Wh-Island Constraint in Dutch by a Long Short-Term Memory Network
Authors: Suijkerbuijk Michelle , Frank Stefan L. , de Swart Peter
Published: May 2023

The current study investigates whether a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network can learn the wh-island constraint in Dutch in a way comparable to human native speakers. After establishing with an acceptability judgement task that native speakers demonstrate a clear sensitivity to wh-island violations, the LSTM network was tested on the same sentences. Contrary to the results of the native speakers, the network was not able to recognize wh-islands and to block gap expectancies within them. This suggests that input and the network’s inductive biases alone might not be enough to learn about syntactic island constraints, and that built-in language knowledge or abilities might be necessary.
Reduced Belief Updating in the Context of Depressive Symptoms – An Investigation of the Associations with Interpretation Biases and Self-Evaluation
Authors: Würtz Felix , Kube Tobias , Woud Marcella Lydia , Margraf Jürgen , Blackwell Simon Edward
Published: May 2023

Background: Depressive symptoms are associated with negative expectations and reduced belief updating by positive information. Cognitive immunization, the devaluation of positive information, has been argued to be central in this relationship and predictive processing models suggest that more positive information is associated with greater cognitive immunization.Methods: In an online experiment, N=347 healthy participants took part in a performance task with standardized feedback of varying levels of positivity (mild, moderate, extreme). Effects of feedback positivity on cognitive immunization were investigated. Further, depressive symptoms, interpretation bias and participant’s self-evaluation were examined as potential correlates of belief updating.Results: As expected, participants receiving mildly positive feedback reported a greater amount of cognitive immunization than those receiving moderately positive feedback. However, neither group differed from those receiving extremely positive feedback. Although depressive symptoms did not show the hypothesized association with cognitive immunization, they were associated with a weaker increase in positive expectations following feedback. Exploratory analyses showed associations between self-evaluation and belief updating.Conclusions: The results suggest that healthy participants engaged in cognitive immunization when feedback was less positive than expected. Depressive symptoms were associated with reduced belief updating, but not with cognitive immunization. Self-evaluation may be a promising factor for future research.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium. The bacterium primarily affects the lungs, but they can also harm other organs. The goal of this study was to identify potential phytocompounds from Indian medicinal plants that could be used to treat Tuberculosis. IMPPAT and the PubChem database were used to determine the 3D structure of phytocompounds. SwissADME was used to test the Lipinski rule of five for all phytocompounds. The target protein's 3D structure was downloaded from the PDB library. PyRx was used to conduct the docking studies, and Discovery Studio 2021 was used to analyse the results. The phytocompounds Diosgenin, Agapanthagenin, and Liquiritic acid showed very strong binding affinity of -9.6, -9.6, and -9.2 Kcal/mol, respectively, according to the results.
Clinico-Etiological Profile and Outcome of Neonatal Seizures - A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study in Western Nepal
Authors: Nagendra Chaudhary  , Astha Paudel  , Dinesh Chaudhary  , Binod Kumar Gupta
Published: May 2023

INTRODUCTION

Neonatal seizure, a common problem encountered in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) setting, is an important determinant of outcome of neurological disorders in newborn period. The aim of the study was to study the clinical and etiological proﬁle of neonatal seizures along with their outcomes.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A prospective observational study was conducted in the NICU of Department of Pediatrics at Universal College of Medical Sciences, Bhairahawa, Nepal from November 2019 to March 2021. Babies with neonatal seizures were enrolled in the study after obtaining written consent from parents.

RESULTS

Out of 870 admitted neonates, 9.7% (n=85) developed clinical seizures where 62.4% were males. Most cases (87.1%) had seizures within 48-hour of life with subtle seizures (92.9%) being the commonest. About 43.5% cases had single episode of seizure followed by multiple episodes. Perinatal asphyxia (92.9%) either alone and/or associated with hypocalcemia (80%) followed by sepsis (40%) and hyponatremia (18.8%) were common etiologies for neonatal seizures. Most of the seizures (76.5%) were aborted with use of single anti-epileptic drug. About 86% (n=73) survived and rest expired.

CONCLUSION

Subtle seizures were common and perinatal asphyxia was the predominant etiology for neonatal seizures. Thus, strengthening the healthcare facility during delivery of the newborn, proper newborn care and nutrition must be emphasized to decrease the incidence of seizures in developing nations like Nepal.

Published: May 2023

INTRODUCTION
Diabetes mellitus is deﬁned as the increase in blood glucose level resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The present study was conducted to evaluate anti-diabetic activity of Justicia adhatoda (Linn.) leaves extract in diabetic Wistar rats. Justicia adhatoda, commonly known as vasaka is rich in phytochemicals like alkaloids, saponins, steroids, ﬂavonoids and glycosides. It is used in asthma, jaundice, wound healing, typhus fever, cough, chronic bronchitis and inﬂamma- tory swellings treatment.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The extract was obtained by maceration process with the use of methanol as solvent. 30 Wistar rats of 150-250 gm were used taken as study animal. Diabetes was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of Alloxan 150 mg/kg body weight. The methan- olic extract of low dose (50 mg/kg) and high dose (100 mg/kg) were given orally for anti-diabetic activity. The standard drug glimepiride 0.5 mg/kg body weight was used.
RESULTS
The extract treated 50mg/kg and 100mg/kg showed signiﬁcant p<0.01 reduction in blood glucose level while the standard 0.5 mg/kg showed less signiﬁcant p<0.05. The standard and extract showed less signiﬁcant p<0.05 body weight recovery in compar- ison to negative control group. The extract 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and standard showed signiﬁcant p<0.01 improvement in food intake when compared to negative control group. The extract 100 mg/kg treatment showed signiﬁcant p<0.01, highly signiﬁcant p<0.001 improvement in water intake on 1st, 2nd and 3rd week respectively when compared to negative control group.
CONCLUSION
The present study concludes that the extract possesses potent and signiﬁcant anti-diabetic activity of Justicia adhatoda leaves.

World Happiness Report
Authors: Shatdal Chaudhary
Published: May 2023

Happiness is the main goal which most people and policy makers seek to ﬁnd. The idea of happiness is as old as human civilization. The concept of happiness has been the core of ancient Hindu and Greek cultures.  Deﬁnition of happiness can vary from person to person. Usually, happiness is deﬁned as an emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, satisfaction, contentment and fulﬁllment. Multiple approaches by various researchers lead to numerous measures of happiness such as the PANAS scale, subjective happiness scale, Oxford happiness inventory and Seligman's PERMA model. Happiness correlates negatively with morbidity, mortality, stress and anxiety in contrast to a positive correlation with motivation, healthy behaviours and longevity. One should enjoy what they are doing rather than falling into the trap of endless accumulation of wealth.

In blood rheology we study volume flow rate, blood pressure, velocity, viscosity and shear stress of blood. Cross-sectional area plays an important role for smooth flow of the blood. But some other parameter like composition of blood, length of vessel also affects in the flow rate and pressure of blood. Velocity and volume flow rate are derived by using Poiseuille’s equation.This work presents a mathematical model of blood flow that was created using the N-S equations and computer simulation. Graphs are used to analyze the results.

नेपाली बौद्ध परम्परामा सोवारिग्पा पद्धतिको अवस्था {Position of Sowarigpa System in Nepalese Budhist Tradition}
Authors: Katel Budhi
Published: May 2023

बौद्ध समाज र संस्कृतिमा आप्mनै प्रकारको परम्परागत उपचार पद्धतिको विकास भएको छ, जुन पञ्चमहाविद्या अन्तर्गत पर्दछ । यस मतमा पञ्चमहाविद्या भित्र चिकित्सा विद्याका साथमा आध्यात्म विद्या, हेतु विद्या, शब्द विद्या र शिल्प विद्या पर्दछन् । बौद्ध परम्परामा चिकित्सा विद्याले मानिसलाई शारिरिक र मानशिक रुपमा निरोगी रहन मद्दत गरेको छ । यस विद्याको मूल ग्रन्थका रुपमा चार सुत्र रहेका छन्, जसलाई तिब्बती भाषामा घ्युसी भनिन्छ । यस पद्धतिमा रोग पत्ता लागेपछि तीन हजार मिटरभन्दा माथिल्लो भेगमा पाइने जडीबुटीको प्रयोग गरी औषधोपचार गर्ने चलन छ । सोवारिग्पामा जडीबुटी, खनिज र जनावरका अवशेषलाई औषधीका रुपमा प्रयोग गरिन्छ । यस पद्धतिबाट शारीरिक र मानसिक दुवै प्रकारको रोग निदान हुने मान्यता छ । सोवारिग्पा पद्धतिमा बिरामीका लक्षण हेर्ने र नाडी छामेर पनि रोग पत्ता लगाउने गरिन्छ । त्यसैगरी पिसावको रंग, फिँज र गन्ध हेरेर पनि बिरामीको अवस्था पत्ता लगाउने चलन छ । त्यस्तै बिरामीको जिब्रोबाट पनि रोग पत्ता लगाइन्छ । यस लेखमा नेपालमा सोवारिग्पा परम्परागत उपचार पद्धतिबाट शैक्षिक उपाधियुक्त ज्ञानका रुपमा परिणत हुँदै गएको अवस्थाकाबारेमा अध्ययन गरिएको छ ।
{Nepali Buddhist society and culture has developed its own type of traditional healing system, which falls under Panchamahavidya, literally speaking, five higher sciences. According to this view, five higher sciences includes spiritual science (aadhyatma-vidya), science of causes (hetu-vidya), science of words (grammar) (shabda-vidya), and architectural scince (shilpa-vidya), along with medical science (chikitsa-vidya).
In the Buddhist tradition, medical science has helped people to stay healthy physically and mentally. There are four sutras as the basic texts of Sowarigpa which are called Ghyusi in Tibetan langauge. In this method, after the diagnosis of the disease, it is customary to use herbs found above three thousand meters for the treatment. Herbs, minerals, and animal remains are used as the ingredients of medicine in Sowarigpa. The analyses of the healed people’s testimonies have showed that both physical and mental diseases can be diagnosed by applying sowarigpa method. In this method, patient’s symptoms are observed and the disease is diagnosed simply by holding the writs in a particular way. Similarly, it is customary in this traditional method to find out the condition of the patient by looking at the color, foam, and smell of urine. Moreover, the disease can be detected by simply observing the patient’s tongue. This article studies the situation where sowarigpa has been transformed from a traditional healing method into an academic knowledge in Nepali Buddhist tradition}.

This study analyses the thematic and conceptual structure of the Spanish scientific production published in Emerging Sources Citation Index (Web of Science) journals. In this way, the aim is to identify the closest links between concepts and terms based on the co-occurrence of keywords used by the authors of the papers analysed, and also to point out the theoretical foundations that exist in the discipline through the co-citation relationships of articles in the bibliography of the documents in the sample. Finally, these results were compared with those obtained from the analysis of Spanish scientific production in Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). To achieve these objectives, a network analysis of the co-occurrence of keywords and co-citation of references in articles published in Communication journals between 2015 and 2021 in ESCI (N = 3,559) and SSCI (N = 1,738) with at least one author linked to a Spanish institution was carried out. The results point to similar structural cohesion values and to a thematic and methodological similarity between both sets observed. There is a marked tendency towards quantitative studies on new technologies. While in SSCI there is an almost absolute dominance of Journalism studies, in ESCI there is a greater diversity of other disciplines such as Audiovisual Communication or Advertising. However, the intellectual structure of the production in SSCI reflects a more specialised character than in ESCI.
