National Linkages and Ambiguous EU Approaches among European Civil Society Organizations
Authors: Lundberg Erik , Sedelius Thomas
Published: September 2022

During the last decade, the EU has had an explicit strategy to include civil society organizations (CSOs) in European public policy. However, the extent to which domestic CSOs are oriented towards the EU in their policy interests and strategies is influenced by various factors. This article examines to what extent and in what ways CSOs acknowledge the impact of the EU on their substantive policy agenda and under what conditions they would prioritise EU-level contacts and/or lobbying in their strategies. We are particularly interested in finding out which institutional linkages – if any – determine the extent to which domestic CSOs direct their policy activity towards the EU level. The article is based on a survey of 880 Swedish CSO’s as well as qualitative interviews with 17 CSOs within the policy areas of anti-discrimination, immigration and asylum in Sweden, United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The results show that although CSOs recognise the importance of the EU-level and also try to influence EU policy, their priorities and orientation are primarily directed towards the domestic level. From our empirical findings, we argue that in order to understand the limited Europeanization of CSOs, national dependency on financial support and to some extent formal embedding in national welfare systems are key factors. The findings indicate some differences between the organizations’ approaches, which to some extent can be attributed to policy area and organizational character. Policy areas with strong EU legislation implemented at national levels such as anti-discrimination seemingly underpins stronger linkages to local and national governments and thus less EU orientation.
Domestication of the Euro Crisis: Legal and Political Manifestations of Euroscepticism in Germany
Authors: Scicluna Nicole
Published: September 2022

The euro crisis points towards the limits of the post-war pro-European integration consensus in Germany, a trend that has manifested itself in both the legal and political realms. In the legal arena, the powerful German Constitutional Court (GCC) has heard complaints on several key rescue measures, including the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and the European Central Bank’s (ECB) bond buying programme. The Court’s ruminations on these initiatives both reflect and feed German eurosceptics’ concerns. They also have implications for the Eurozone as a whole, insofar as they limit the German government’s room to manoeuvre. In the political arena, a new eurosceptic party, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), contested the September 2013 federal election and the May 2014 European parliamentary election, winning a handful of seats in the latter. AfD’s emergence potentially marks a shift towards a more overtly eurosceptical political discourse in Germany. Thus, both legal and political developments have the potential to constrain the choices for the EU as a whole by reconfiguring the political and policy landscape of Germany, the Union’s reluctant hegemon.
The Populist Conception of Democracy beyond Popular Sovereignty
Authors: Corduwener Pepijn
Published: September 2022

With populist parties making electoral progress across the European continent, the question of what their electoral success means for contemporary democratic systems has gained increasing significance. This article investigates how two populist radical right parties, the Austrian FPÖ and the Dutch PVV, conceptualise democracy, based on a wide range of party documents released over recent decades. It builds upon recent academic consensus that the relationship between populism and democracy is best understood from a ‘minimalist’ perspective, seeing populism not as antagonistic to democracy, but as an ideology that conceptualises democracy primarily in terms of popular sovereignty. The article adds to the existing literature by demonstrating that we can extend this understanding of the populist conception of democracy in three aspects: the populist emphasis on state neutrality; a two-fold notion of equality; and the extension of the political sphere in society. Based upon these three issues, the article concludes by exploring how the populist conception of democracy relates to the most dominant form of democracy practised nowadays, liberal democracy, and to what extent it reflects changes in our democratic political culture.
The Use of Matching as a Study Choice Aid by Maastricht University’s Bachelor in European Studies: Facilitating Transition to Higher Education?
Authors: Bijsmans Patrick , Harbers Pia
Published: September 2022

Programmes in higher education are confronted with decreasing funds and increasing demands from national governments concerning, for instance, access to higher education and retention and completion rates. In this light it is important that prospective students make the right study choice. Since 2011 Maastricht University’s Bachelor in European Studies is using a procedure called ‘Matching’, which is meant to facilitate prospective students’ self-reflection about their study choice. This article explains how Matching complements existing arrangements related to transition to higher education, such as open days and induction weeks, and presents our experience to this point. We have so far only partly been able to meet the initial aims of Matching. Nevertheless, we believe that arrangements such as this can benefit both undergraduate programmes and their students, as it provides a better insight into study choice and into intervention that can improve transition to higher education.
European Studies and Public Engagement: A Conceptual Toolbox
Authors: Müllerleile Andreas
Published: September 2022

This article examines public engagement strategies for academics working in the field of European Studies. Should academics engage with the public? What are the most effective outreach strategies? And what are the implications for universities and departments? The article argues that engaging with the public should be considered an integral part for academics working on topics that relate to the European Union or European politics. The article has a theoretical and a practical dimension. The first part of the paper deals with the nature of public engagement, explaining why it is an important issue and how it differs from the mainstream understanding of public engagement. The practical part of the paper presents the idea of building an online presence through which academics can engage with the public debate both during periods of low issue salience and high issue salience. The final section includes a toolbox for academics as well as some thoughts on what universities and departments need to change in order to fulfil the public engagement function discussed in the first part of the paper.

Communication skills are the main indicator in the success of building social relations in the community.  However, the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two years has had an impact on society.  Social restrictions are one of the reason for the limited interaction and communication of a dynamic society.  The school environment is one institution that has received the impact of this pandemic.  Children and teachers must carry out teaching and learning activities through the Distance Learning (PJJ) method.  This survey study will discuss how santri  dhuafa can maintain mental resilience with healthy communication skills.  Among the effects that are strongly felt due to the lack of interactive communication between teachers and students is psychological pressure.  The pressure with this PJJ activity causes students to have difficulty doing the tasks given by the teacher.  Facilities such as the unavailability of an internet connection increasingly interfere with learning, especially for students who are in the interior.  The worst result is that children are no longer interested in participating in learning to the fullest.  For students with poor economic conditions, this situation will be even more difficult.  An unstable economy increases the power of students as well, this situation is often one of the other triggers that have an impact on students mental resilience as specialiy in Bogor Area.  communication skills become an important part for students in its difficult situation to catching up learning.
Analyzing Mid-to-Long Term Mortality Rates and Associated Factors of Geriatric Patients with Hip Fractures during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Single Centre Prospective Study
Authors: GENCER Batuhan , DOĞAN Özgür
Published: September 2022

Objective

Our objective was to evaluate the mid-to-long term mortality rates (with an average of 1-year follow-up) and associated factors of geriatric patients with hip fractures during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

Prospectively followed-up 104 geriatric patients over 65 years old, with hip fractures during the pandemic, 89 of which underwent surgery, were evaluated. A control group of 126 geriatric patients treated for hip fractures before the pandemic was formed. Patient demographics, initial SARS-Cov-2 Reverse Transcriptase PCR test results, fracture type, type of surgery performed, length of stay (LOS) in hospital early complications were analyzed.

Results

Mid-to-long term mortality rate of geriatric patients with hip fractures treated during the pandemic period was 42.3% whereas the mortality rate of control group was calculated as 38.9% (p=0.599). Patients that were unfit for surgery and patients with positive initial SARS-Cov-2 Reverse Transcriptase PCR test were significantly related with higher mortality (p
Antipruritic properties of topical Channa striatus extract on stratum corneum disruption-itch mice model
Authors: Fauzi Irfan , Omar Farouk Ahmad Akira , Perimal Enoch Kumar
Published: September 2022

Itch is an unpleasant sensation that provokes a strong desire to scratch. In some cases, antihistamines are ineffective in treating chronic itch and produce side effects. Channa striatus fish extract, which can alleviate pain, is also used in this experiment to alleviate the itch. This experiment aims to determine the possible antipruritic effect of topical Channa striatus extract (CSE) on stratum corneum disruption (SCD)-itch mice model. Experiments were divided into 6 groups of male ICR mice which were positive, negative, vehicles, 3% CSE, 7% CSE, and 10% CSE groups. Rostral back of mice was induced with chemicals acetone, diethyl ether (1:1) and water (AcetoneEthylWatermethod) daily for five consecutive days. All groups were treated with specific selective treatments. The scratching behaviour of the mice was observed by videotape. The skin moisture and oiliness scoring was measured daily using a skin analyzer. The skin was isolated for RNA extraction and measured for tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- α) gene expression level using real-time RT PCR. All treatment groups of Channa striatus extract cream had shown a significant reduction in scratching time, increase in skin moisture and skin oiliness. The TNF- α gene expression level had inconsistent results and needed a more extensive sample. The Channa striatus extract cream may be able to alleviate itch compared to the control parameters.
Orthodox Literature of the Second Polish Republic: Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, and Czech

Published: September 2022

This article examines a Slavic historical and cultural phenomenon of the twentieth century — the multilingual Orthodox literature of the Second Polish Republic, otherwise known as interwar Poland. This literature became a full-fledged successor to the colossal religious and national-cultural heritage of the Orthodox peoples of the Russian Empire that had developed before the Empire’s collapse. Despite the harsh anti-Orthodox policy of the authorities of the new, revived-in-1918 Poland, which included huge territories with indigenous Belarusian and Ukrainian populations, conditions of religious life there were more tolerant than those in the USSR, where the religion experienced huge pressure, often reducing it to a semi-underground or even underground existence. During the two interwar decades in the Second Polish Republic, a huge amount of printed and handwritten Orthodox literature was generated, designed for the widest segments of the population, who spoke and read both East and West Slavic languages in addition to Church Slavonic. The main target of this literature was the Belarusian and Ukrainian peasantry, which made up about 93% of all Orthodox Christians in interwar Poland, the total number of which was close to 5 million people — 12% of the country's population. Orthodox literature of the Second Polish Republic did not lose its significance as time passed; it spread widely in the world, and its works are still reprinted and rewritten in many states, including modern Russia.

Accurately characterizing clouds and their shadows is a long-standing problem in the Earth Observation community. Recent works showcase the necessity to improve cloud detection methods for imagery acquired by the Sentinel-2 satellites. However, the lack of consensus and transparency in existing reference datasets hampers the benchmarking of current cloud detection methods. Exploiting the analysis-ready data offered by the Copernicus program, we created CloudSEN12, a new multi-temporal global dataset to foster research in cloud and cloud shadow detection. CloudSEN12 has 49,400 image patches, including (1) Sentinel-2 level-1C and level-2A multi-spectral data, (2) Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar data, (3) auxiliary remote sensing products, (4) different hand-crafted annotations to label the presence of thick and thin clouds and cloud shadows, and (5) the results from eight state-of-the-art cloud detection algorithms. At present, CloudSEN12 exceeds all previous efforts in terms of annotation richness, scene variability, geographic distribution, metadata complexity, quality control, and number of samples.

How inclusive is volcanology? Insights from global bibliometric analyses
Authors: Lerner Geoffrey , Williams George , Meredith Elinor , Jenkins Susanna , Barclay Jenni
Published: September 2022

In this study, we use bibliometric methods to assess the way in which local researchers are included in volcanological publications by comparing the affiliation of authors with the country in which researched volcanoes are located. Globally, 40% of articles about a specific volcano do not include an author whose affiliation is based in the country where the volcano is located (a locally domiciled author), while 56% are led by authors not based in the country of the volcano. Over the past three decades, first authorship rates among local researchers have not increased. However, local researchers have become more frequently included as co-authors in research led by researchers domiciled elsewhere. We provide examples of how this bibliometric analysis can be used to evaluate several specific inclusion-related topics. The results of these analyses suggest that there is room for improvement in inclusivity in volcanological research and cause for reflection on how we collaborate with international partners.
Psychology’s Reform Movement Needs a Reconceptualization of Scientific Expertise
Authors: Uygun Tunç Duygu , Tunç Mehmet Necip
Published: September 2022

Science is supposed to be a self-correcting endeavor, but who is “the scientific expert” that corrects faulty science? We grouped traditional conceptualizations of expertise in psychology under three classes (substantialist, implicitist, and social conventionalist), and then examined how these approaches undermine scientific self-correction in reference to various components of the credibility crisis such as fraud/QRP’s, the inadequate number of replication studies, challenges facing big team science, and perverse incentives. Our investigation pointed out several problems with the traditional views. First, traditional views conceptualize expertise as something possessed, not performed, ignoring the epistemic responsibility of experts. Second, expertise is conceived as an exclusively individual quality, which contradicts the socially distributed nature of science. Third, some aspects of expertise are taken to be implicit or relative to the established research practices in a field, which leads to disputes over replicability and makes it difficult to criticize mindless scientific rituals. Lastly, a conflation of expertise with eminence in practice creates an incentive structure that undermines the goal of self-correction in science. We suggest, instead, that we conceive an expert as a reliable informant. Following the extended virtue account of expertise, we propose a non-individualist and a performance-based model, and discuss why it does not suffer from the same problems as the traditional approaches, and why it is more compatible with the reform movement's goal of creating a credible psychological science through self-correction.
Will climate change increase or decrease suicide rates? The differing effects of geographical, seasonal, and irregular variation in temperature on suicide incidence
Authors: Williams Matt N , Hill Stephen Robert , Spicer John
Published: September 2022

The effect of environmental temperature on suicide risk is an important issue given the increase in global temperatures expected over the following century. Previous research has produced conflicting findings: Studies concerned with temporal variation in temperature and suicide have tended to find a positive relationship, while those concerned with geographical variation in temperature and suicide have tended to find a negative relationship. In this study, we aimed firstly to estimate the relationship between suicide incidence and three components of variation in temperature: Irregular, seasonal, and geographical. Secondly, we aimed to critically examine what this information can (and cannot) tell us about the likely effects of anthropogenic climate change on suicide rates. Suicide data from New Zealand for the period 1988 to 2007 were collated according to date of death and district and compared with temperature data from the same period. Using generalized linear mixed models, we found that irregular variation in temperature was positively related to suicide incidence, with about 1.8% more suicides for every 1°C increase in temperature. On the other hand, seasonal variation in temperature had virtually no linear relationship with suicide incidence, and when controlling for demographic differences, geographical variation in temperature was negatively related to suicide incidence. We conclude that differences in both the sign and the direction of the effects of different forms of variation in temperature mean that it is very difficult to predict how climate change will affect risk of suicide.
Retrieval-based learning in special education
Authors: Tempel Tobias , Sollich Sebastian
Published: September 2022

Retrieval-based learning has been investigated in various populations. The present study examined retrieval-based learning in a sample of students at a special-needs school with educational tracks for learning and mental development. In addition, a comparison group of students at a regular school was examined. Learning conditions were manipulated within participants. In a first session, participants either received repeated study cycles only, or they received alternating test and study cycles. A second session then comprised the opposite form of practice. In both sessions, a final test assessed memory after a short distractor phase. This procedure was the same in two experiments but with different kinds of item material. For both kinds (images and image-word pairs), a testing effect occurred, i.e., higher recall of tested items. These results show that lower cognitive ability or lack of experience with regularly being tested in school do not prevent students to benefit from retrieval-based learning.

The relationship between temperature and assault in New Zealand
Authors: Williams Matt N , Hill Stephen Robert , Spicer John
Published: September 2022

A number of previous studies have reported a positive relationship between ambient temperature and the incidence of violent crimes such as assault. This has led some authors to suggest that anthropogenic climate change may result in an increase in violent crime rates. In this study, we report an investigation of the relationship between temperature and assault incidence in New Zealand. Both police data listing recorded assaults as well as data from the Ministry of Health listing hospitalisations due to assault were examined. Geographical, seasonal, and irregular daily variation in temperature were all positively related to the incidence of assault, although only the effect of irregular variation in temperature was robust to controls for plausible confounds. The estimated effect of irregular daily variation in temperature was approximately 1.5% extra recorded assaults for each 1°C increase in temperature. It remains difficult, however, to make accurate predictions about future assault rates in a warming world. For example, humans may react to sustained changes in climate in ways that differ markedly from their reaction to short-term variation in temperature. Climate change may also affect rates of violence via mechanisms other than those that currently drive the relationship between temperature and violence. Furthermore, assault rates may continue to change in response to factors unrelated to climate change, such as those responsible for the long-term historical decline in human violence.
Hedonism as a Motive for Information Search — Biased Information-Seeking Leads to Biased Beliefs
Authors: Jiwa Matthew , Cooper Patrick , Chong Trevor , Bode Stefan
Published: September 2022

Selection bias in information-search contributes to the formation of polarized echo-chambers of beliefs. However, the role of valence in information source selection remains poorly understood. In Experiment 1, participants won financial rewards depending on the outcomes of a set of lotteries. They were not shown these outcomes, but instead could choose to view a prediction of each lottery outcome made by one of two sources. Before choosing their favoured source, participants were first shown a series of example predictions made by each. The sources systematically varied in the accuracy and positivity (i.e., how often they predicted a win) of their predictions. Hierarchical Bayesian modeling indicated that both source accuracy and positivity impacted participants’ choices. Importantly, those seeking more positively-biased information believed that they had won more often and had higher confidence in those beliefs. In Experiment 2, we directly assessed the effect of positivity on the perceived credibility of a source. In each trial, participants watched a single source making a series of predictions of lottery outcomes and rated the strength of their beliefs in each source. Interestingly, positively-biased sources were not seen as more credible. Together, these findings suggest that positively-biased information is sought partly due to the desirable emotional state it induces rather than having enhanced perceived credibility. Information sought on this basis nevertheless produced consequential biased beliefs about the world-state, highlighting a potentially key role for hedonic preferences in information selection and subsequent belief formation.
Social origin and political participation: does education compensate or reinforce family (dis)advantages?
Authors: Barsegyan Vardan , Knigge Antonie , Maas Ineke
Published: September 2022

Previous research has shown a consistent effect of social origin on political participation: people originating from low-socioeconomic-status families participate in politics less than people from high-socioeconomic-status families, – which violates the democratic premise and one of the most fundamental human rights – equality of political voice. We investigated in this paper whether education compensates or reinforces the political inequality shaped by social origin. We used a German representative sample of 1,046 identical twins of 21-25 years old and applied family fixed effects regression models, which allowed to control for measured and unmeasured genetic and social confounding. We found a positive causal effect of educational attainment on participation. Family disadvantage caused by low parental education is compensated by children obtaining intermediate or high levels of education. At the same time, family advantage originating from high parental occupational status is reinforced for children completing gymnasium. We found no (dis)advantage, compensation or reinforcement related to parental income. We conclude that compensation and reinforcement of family disadvantage may remain unnoticed if components of parental SES are not distinguished.

The purpose of this research is to find out the solid influence of different spreads on the growth rate of rice eels in bioflok media. This study used Complete RandomIzed Design (RAL) with 3 treatments and 3 repeats, namely; solid spread 5 tails / 15 cm water level, solid spread 10/15 cm water level and solid spread 15/15 cm water level. As a result of the study, the growth value of eel weight with the spread of 5 heads 32.8gr, the spread of 10 heads of 10.56 gr and the distribution of 15 heads of 7.19. The growth value of the spread length of 5 tails is 7.73 cm, the spread of 10 tails is 6.44 cm and the distribution of 15 tails is 5.17 cm. Inference, the dense distribution of different gives a very noticeable influence on the growth of rice field eel seeds (Monopterus albus). As well as solid distribution of 5 heads / 15cm water level gives the best results to the growth of rice eels seeds (Monopterus alus) so that Bioflok does not affect water quality. The distribution of rice eel seed (Monopterus albus) should not be at too high a density because it can inhibit the growth rate of rice eels.

Reaching ‘the Vulnerable’ by Working from the Heart?
Authors: Hansen Saana
Published: September 2022

This article considers how the image of a caring state is both performed and contested by the actual workings of Zimbabwe’s volunteer community case workers (CCWs). According to their policy mandate, the volunteers’ commitment to registering ‘the vulnerable’ and mobilising them for different welfare project purposes is based on an assumed affective closeness to their communities. Ethnographic investigation also identifies community-level care work as an affectively and economically charged field, where the CCWs navigate conflicting expectations and utilise their connectedness to other welfare providers to sustain life. As diversely situated, community-level, caring bureaucrats, they also assist their ‘cases’ to construct claims of vulnerability that fit the narrow categories of welfare organisations, recognising and addressing forms of vulnerability that go beyond such definitions from the outside. In such processes, the credibility of both welfare institutions and CCWs is challenged and reproduced.
Bequeathing a World
Authors: Weston Kath
Published: September 2022

In recent debates about climate change, a transmission model of ecological inheritance has apportioned responsibility for ecological damage to generations portrayed as locked in conflict, while depicting Earth as a worldly possession capable of being assigned to a set of heirs. With a focus on North America, this article examines assumptions about ownership, possession, dispositional authority, and succession embedded in the trope of bequeathing an ecologically compromised world to a receiving generation that worries it might be the last. Many of these assumptions create exclusions for those who already apprehend themselves as dispossessed. Indigenous conceptions of responsibility, temporality, and place suggest ways to begin to decolonise the rhetoric of ecological inheritance, allowing humans to inhabit the everyday under signs other than extinction, regardless of how things turn out.
Combinatorial results of collapse for order-preserving and order-decreasing transformations
Authors: KORKMAZ Emrah
Published: September 2022

The full transformation semigroup TnTn is defined to consist of all functions from Xn={1,…,n}Xn={1,…,n} to itself, under the operation of composition. In \cite{JMH1}, for any αα in TnTn, Howie defined and denoted collapse by c(α)=⋃t∈\im(α){tα−1:|tα−1|≥2}c(α)=⋃t∈\im(α){tα−1:|tα−1|≥2}. Let OnOn be the semigroup of all order-preserving transformations and CnCn be the semigroup of all order-preserving and decreasing transformations on XnXn=under its natural order, respectively. Let E(On)E(On) be the set of all idempotent elements of OnOn, E(Cn)E(Cn) and N(Cn)N(Cn) be the sets of all idempotent and nilpotent elements of CnCn, respectively. Let UU be one of {Cn,N(Cn),E(Cn),On,E(On)}{Cn,N(Cn),E(Cn),On,E(On)}. For α∈Uα∈U, we consider the set \imc(α)={t∈\im(α):|tα−1|≥2}\imc(α)={t∈\im(α):|tα−1|≥2}. For positive integers 2≤k≤r≤n2≤k≤r≤n, we define U(k)={α∈U:t∈\imc(α) and |tα−1|=k},U(k,r)={α∈U(k):∣∣⋃t∈\imc(α)tα−1|=r}.U(k)={α∈U:t∈\imc(α) and |tα−1|=k},U(k,r)={α∈U(k):|⋃t∈\imc(α)tα−1|=r}. The main objective of this paper is to determine |U(k,r)||U(k,r)|, and so |U(k)||U(k)| for some values rr and kk.

Coefficients of Randic and Sombor characteristic polynomials of some graph types
Authors: OZ Mert Sinan
Published: September 2022

Let GG be a graph. The energy of GG is defined as the summation of absolute values of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of GG. It is possible to study several types of graph energy originating from defining various adjacency matrices defined by correspondingly different types of graph invariants. The first step is computing the characteristic polynomial of the defined adjacency matrix of GG for obtaining the corresponding energy of GG. In this paper, formulae for the coefficients of the characteristic polynomials of both the Randic and the Sombor adjacency matrices of path graph PnPn , cycle graph CnCn are presented. Moreover, we obtain the five coefficients of the characteristic polynomials of both Randic and Sombor adjacency matrices of a special type of 3−regular graph RnRn.
On eigenfunctions of Hill's equation with symmetric double well potential
Authors: KABATAŞ Ayşe
Published: September 2022

Throughout this paper the asymptotic approximations for eigen- functions of eigenvalue problems associated with Hill’s equation satisfying periodic and semi-periodic boundary conditions are derived when the potential is symmetric double well. These approximations are used to determine the Green’s functions of the related problems. Then, the obtained results are adapted to the Whittaker-Hill equation which has the symmetric double well potential and is widely investigated in the literature.
