Authors: Chozin Mohammad , Sudjatmiko Sigit , Muktamar Zainal , Setyowati Nanik
Published: July 2018

Status: PostprintCurrently, organic sweet corn growers depend on varieties bred for intensive farming systems. The present study was addressed to elucidate the pattern of variations among 20 sweet corn genotypes under organic farming system and to classify them into distinct groups on the basis of their agro-morphological characteristics. Data were collected from two growing seasons for growth and yield characteristic and subjected to univariate and multivariate analyses. Combined analysis of variance across two seasons revealed that tasseling date, harvesting date, kernel row number, and marketable yield exhibited significant season x genotype interaction effect, while the rest of the observed characters showed significant both season and genotype effects. Principal component analysis showed that first season data had first three principal components with Eigen values > 1 accounted 82% of the total variation, while second season data had first two principal components with Eigen values > 1 accounted for 79%. In both seasons, ear length, ear diameter, ear weight, and marketable yield were the most important characters in first principal component. Based on cluster analysis, the genotypes could be classified into 5 clusters for both seasons. These results can be used by the growers in deciding the most suitable sweet corn variety for organic production.

Inferences & Connections
Authors: Rosenblat Alex , Kneese Tamara , boyd danah
Published: July 2018

Data-oriented systems are inferring relationships between people based on genetic material, behavioral patterns (e.g., shared geography imputed by phone carriers), and performed associations (e.g., friends online or shared photographs). What responsibilities do entities who collect data that imputes connections have to those who are implicated by association? For example, as DNA and other biological materials are collected outside of medicine (e.g., at point of arrest, by informatics services like 23andme, for scientific inquiry), what rights do relatives (living, dead, and not-yet-born) have? In what contexts is it acceptable to act based on inferred associations and in which contexts is it not?

The Children of Ludlow: Their Struggle is Our Struggle
Authors: McGettigan Timothy
Published: July 2018

Ever since that dark day, April 20, 1914, what has since been known as the Ludlow Massacre galvanized the US labor movement. Once properly unified, trade unions became strong enough to leverage significant economic concessions from the Captains of Industry. Those economic concessions proved sufficient to buoy the aspirations of America’s middle class throughout much of the 20th century. More than a century after the Ludlow Massacre, post-industrialist fat cats continue their relentless efforts to undermine the working class. If America’s middle class is going to survive this never ending onslaught, then hard-pressed 21st century workers will need to rekindle the spirit of the Ludlow strikers whose sacrifices gave working stiffs a shot at the American Dream.

In order to empower youth to create a kinder and braver world, we must begin by making sure that youth are safe. Youth are not safe when they are being bullied, harassed, or threatened. Thus, one of the first things that we must do to help youth be safe is combat the culture of meanness and cruelty that is at the root of bullying, peer violence, and abuse.Bullying is a systems problem and many well-intended people don’t realize the complexity of the issue. The following are research-driven elements of bullying that should ground any discussion of how to address this complex issue.
Socially contingent responsivity: finding a link between statistical learning and understanding the referential nature of words
Authors: Luchkina Elena
Published: July 2018

One of the central processes of language acquisition is word learning. While many species have been shown to learn word-object associations (e.g., Lyn & Savage-Rumbaugh, 2000; Kaminski, Call, & Fischer, 2004), humans understand the meanings of words and know that that words refer to certain objects, actions, or ideas, not merely recognize associative pairings. This paper explores the role of socially contingent responsivity in the development of the referential understanding of words.
The Poor Availability of Syntaxes of Structural Equation Modeling
Authors: Wicherts Jelte M. , Crompvoets Elise Anne Victoire
Published: July 2018

The syntax or codes used to fit Structural Equation Models (SEMs) convey valuable information on model specifications and the manner in which SEMs are estimated. We requested SEM syntaxes from a random sample of 229 articles (published in 1998-2013) that ran SEMs using LISREL, AMOS, or Mplus. After exchanging over 500 emails, we ended up obtaining a meagre 57 syntaxes used in these articles (24.9% of syntaxes we requested). Results considering the 129 (corresponding) authors who replied to our request showed that the odds of the syntax being lost increased by 21% per year passed since publication of the article, while the odds of actually obtaining a syntax dropped by 13% per year. So SEM syntaxes that are crucial for reproducibility and for correcting errors in the running and reporting of SEMs are often unavailable and get lost rapidly. The preferred solution is mandatory sharing of SEM syntaxes alongside articles or in data repositories.

Towards an ESP Course for Engineering Students in Vocational Schools in Morocco: the Case of the National School of Applied Sciences
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Dahbi Manar
Published: July 2018

In engineering studies, students need specific English language practices to communicate effectively in professional settings. This research project was carried out for two main purposes. First, the aim was to evaluate to what extent the English for general purposes courses offered to engineering students at the National School of Applied Sciences of Fes were successful in fulfilling the job requirements of the prospective engineers. And the second purpose was to devise an ESP (English for specific purposes) course that is rather linked to the field of specialization of the respondents and can attend to their vocational needs. To this end, a “needs analysis questionnaire” was devised to identify these students’ needs in relation to the English language course. The results stressed the significance of English for engineering students. They also identified the students’ lacks, needs and interests regarding English language. The study concluded with some pedagogical implications.
The vanity construct re-examined: LeBel's vanity scale
Authors: LeBel Etienne P.
Published: July 2018

A new vanity scale was developed according to a broader conceptualization, distinguishing between physical and intellectual vanity. The new scale was psychometrically validated using a total of 339 participants. Three studies were carried out using undergraduate students and family and friends. Validation procedures included assessing the convergent and discriminant validity of our scale using the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR) and the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP). Internal reliability and factor analytic procedures were also performed on the scale data. Cumulative results of the three studies support the psychometric properties of the new scale. The final 22-item version of the scale showed high internal reliability and excellent factor structure. It is concluded that the scale may potentially be used for general purpose research to identify vain individuals.
Semantic priming in the dual task paradigm
Authors: LeBel Etienne P.
Published: July 2018

This study examined whether early effects of semantics could occur in the context of the PRP paradigm. Based on Reynolds and Besner (2004), it was predicted that early effects of semantics would possibly be observed. The study found that the difference in reaction times for the related and unrelated primes for the secondary lexical decision task were constant at the varying SOAs. This additive effect, using the locus-of-slack logic, means that semantic information occurs at or after the central processing bottleneck. Thus, the results did not lend support for our prediction, as semantic information did not feedback to letter representations. The results of this study thus contradict Reynolds and Besner’s (2004) position that the letter level receives information from the semantic and lexical levels. Johnston, McCann, and Remington’s (1995) position, on the other hand, is completely in line with the current data of this study. Their theory that words and semantic occur at or after central processing accounts for the additive effects observed in this study. The current study found that the faster related prime trials in the secondary lexical decision task remained as fast in the short SOA as compared to the long SOA. Thus, the additive effect found lends support that semantic analysis occurs at or after the central attention bottleneck. Although early effects of semantics were not found in the current investigation, one can only imagine that one day researchers may be able to show semantic processing occurring simultaneously with other cognitive tasks.
How Will We React to the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life?
Authors: Kwon Jung Yul , Bercovici Hannah , Cunningham Katja , Varnum Michael E. W.
Published: July 2018

How will humanity react to the discovery of extraterrestrial life? Speculation on this topic abounds, but empirical research is practically non-existent. We report the results of three empirical studies assessing psychological reactions to the discovery of extraterrestrial life using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) text analysis software. We examined language use in media coverage of past discovery announcements of this nature, with a focus on extraterrestrial microbial life (Pilot Study). A large online sample (N = 501) was asked to write about their own and humanity’s reaction to a hypothetical announcement of such a discovery (Study 1), and an independent, large online sample (N = 256) was asked to read and respond to a newspaper story about the claim that fossilized extraterrestrial microbial life had been found in a meteorite of Martian origin (Study 2). Across these studies, we found that reactions were significantly more positive than negative, and more reward vs. risk oriented. A mini- meta-analysis revealed large overall effect sizes (positive vs. negative affect language: g = .98; reward vs. risk language: g = .81). We also found that people’s forecasts of their own reactions showed a greater positivity bias than their forecasts of humanity’s reactions (Study 1), and that responses to reading an actual announcement of the discovery of extraterrestrial microbial life showed a greater positivity bias than responses to reading an actual announcement of the creation of man-made synthetic life (Study 2). Taken together, this work suggests that our reactions to a future confirmed discovery of microbial extraterrestrial life are likely to be fairly positive.

Tropical weathering of the Taconic orogeny as a driver for Ordovician cooling
Authors: Swanson-Hysell Nicholas , Macdonald Francis
Published: July 2018

The Earth’s climate cooled through the Ordovician Period leading up to the Hirnantian glaciation. Increased weatherability of silicate rocks associated with topography generated on the Appalachian margin during the Taconic orogeny has been proposed as a mechanism for Ordovician cooling. However, paleogeographic reconstructions typically place the Appalachian margin within the arid subtropics, outside of the warm and wet tropics where chemical weathering rates are highest. In this study, we reanalyze the paleomagnetic database and conclude that Ordovician constraints from cratonic Laurentia are not robust. Instead, we use paleomagnetic data from well-dated volcanic rocks in the accreting terranes to constrain Laurentia’s position given that the Appalachian margin was at, or equatorward of, the paleo- latitude of these terranes. To satisfy these allochthonous data, Laurentia must have moved toward the equator during the Ordovician such that the Appalachian margin was within 10° of the equator by 465 Ma. This movement into the tropics coincided with the collision and exhumation of the Taconic arc system, recorded by a shift in neodymium isotope data from shale on the Appalachian margin to more juvenile values. This inflection in detrital neodymium isotope values precedes a major downturn in global seawater strontium isotopic values by more than one million years, as would be predicted from a change in weathering input and the relatively long residence time of strontium in the ocean. These data are consistent with an increase in global weatherability associated with the tropical weathering of mafic and ultramafic lithologies exhumed during the Taconic arc-continent collision. A Taconic related increase in weatherability is a viable mechanism for lowering atmospheric CO2 levels through silicate weathering contributing to long-term Ordovician cooling.

Long Term Effect of Phonetic Instruction on the Production of /p/ by EFL Arab Learners: an Exploratory Study
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Algethami Ghazi
Published: July 2018

Most previous studies, that have examined the effect of explicit pronunciation instruction on foreign language speech, have focused on the short term effect of explicit pronunciation instruction, usually measured immediately after instruction. For this reason, it is not yet clear whether the attested benefit from pronunciation instruction can be sustained for a long time after instruction. The current study attempted to explore the long term effect of phonetic instruction on the production of the English bilabial voiceless stop /p/ by Arab learners of English as foreign language (EFL, henceforth). Nine Arab EFL learners were assigned to two groups, control and experimental. The experimental group received phonetic instruction on how to produce the English sound /p/, whereas the control group did not. The production of the English sound /p/ was elicited from all the learners in both groups, once before the instruction and once after 11 weeks of the instruction. Two experienced native English instructors were asked to judge whether the students produced /p/ or /b/. The results generally showed no benefit from the phonetic instruction on the delayed production of /p/ by the EFL Arab learners. Although the results do not seem encouraging for pronunciation instruction, it is difficult to reach a conclusion with regard to pronunciation instruction due to the small sample size used in the current exploratory study, and to the difficulty to generalize the results on /p/ to all other sounds. Future studies may use larger sample sizes and include more sounds in their instruction methods.

The cognate facilitation effect in bilingual lexical decision is influenced by stimulus list composition
Authors: Poort Eva Denise , Rodd Jennifer M
Published: July 2018

This article has been published in Acta Psychologica. Cognates share their form and meaning across languages: “winter” in English means the same as “winter” in Dutch. Research has shown that bilinguals process cognates more quickly than words that exist in one language only (e.g. “ant” in English). This finding is taken as strong evidence for the claim that bilinguals have one integrated lexicon and that lexical access is language non-selective. Two English lexical decision experiments with Dutch-English bilinguals investigated whether the cognate facilitation effect is influenced by stimulus list composition. In Experiment 1, the ‘standard’ version, which included only cognates, English control words and regular non-words, showed significant cognate facilitation (31 ms). In contrast, the ‘mixed’ version, which also included interlingual homographs, pseudohomophones (instead of regular non-words) and Dutch-only words, showed a significantly different profile: a non-significant disadvantage for the cognates (8 ms). Experiment 2 examined the specific impact of these three additional stimuli types and found that only the inclusion of Dutch words significantly reduced the cognate facilitation effect. Additional exploratory analyses revealed that, when the preceding trial was a Dutch word, cognates were recognised up to 50 ms more slowly than English controls. We suggest that when participants must respond ‘no’ to non-target language words, competition arises between the ‘yes’- and ‘no’-responses associated with the two interpretations of a cognate, which (partially) cancels out the facilitation that is a result of the cognate’s shared form and meaning. We conclude that the cognate facilitation effect is a real effect that originates in the lexicon, but that cognates can be subject to competition effects outside the lexicon.
Occam’s Rattle: Children’s use of simplicity and probability to constrain inference
Authors: Bonawitz Elizabeth , Lombrozo Tania
Published: July 2018

A growing literature suggests that generating and evaluating explanations is a key mechanism for learning and inference, but little is known about how children generate and select competing explanations. This study investigates whether young children prefer explanations that are simple, where simplicity is quantified as the number of causes invoked in an explanation, and how this preference is reconciled with probability information. Both preschool-aged children and adults were asked to explain an event that could be generated by one or two causes, where the probabilities of the causes varied across conditions. In two experiments we found that children preferred explanations involving one cause over two, but were also sensitive to the probability of competing explanations. Adults, in contrast, responded on the basis of probability alone. These data suggest that children employ a principle of parsimony like Occam’s razor as an inductive constraint, and that this constraint may be employed when more reliable bases for inference are unavailable.

A cylindrical Venn diagram model for categorical syllogisms
Authors: Radulescu Dan Constantin
Published: July 2018

One denotes A(M,*) by A1 and A(*,M) by A2, where * stands for either S or P, and the same for the O categorical operator. This allows to dispense with the four syllogistic figures and reduces the number of the 24 classically valid syllogisms (CVS) to only 8 (not 15) distinct CVS plus 6 (not 9) distinct existential import (ei) CVS. Out of the 36 (not 64!) distinct pairs of categorical premises (PCP or just pairs), 19 pairs entail at least one logical conclusion and thus generate valid syllogistic arguments (in short, valid syllogisms or VS) split into two subsets: the CVS and the VS\CVS. The latter ones have A(P,S), O(P,S) and I(S',P') as conclusions, not the “(S,P)-type” conclusions required of the CVS. (S',P',M' are the complementary sets of S,P,M in a universal set U.) The other results are: (i) one can also dispense with most of the rules of valid syllogisms (such as “the middle term has to be distributed in at least one premise” and “two negative premises are not allowed”), (ii) any pair of categorical premises generates at least one VS unless 1. both premises are particular, or, 2. one premise is universal and one particular and they act one on M, the middle term, and the other premise acts on M' – its complement in U, (iii) the VS set is the (disjoint) union of three equivalence classes generated respectively by (a) two universal premises acting on both M and M' , (b) two universal premises both acting on either M or M', (c) one universal premise and one particular premise both acting on either M or M', (iv) inside each equivalence class, via a relabeling transformation of the sets S,P,M, S',P',M', any of the VS can be recast (or reformulated) as any other VS from the same class. This “naming invariance” suggests that, from a set theoretical point of view, the (S,P) conclusion restriction is not meaningful. The VS\CVS subset contains 6 VS and 7 ei VS.
A theory inspired proposal for a novel medical treatment in autism. The cerebellar model of autism and the hypothesis of dorsal stream dysfunction: evidence from idiopathic and syndromic cases.
Authors: Vakalopoulos Costa
Published: July 2018

The cerebellum figures prominently in the pathophysiology of idiopathic autism. Many syndromic comorbid cases and animal studies also highlight cerebellar involvement. The role of the cerebellum is implicated in cognitive and affective disorders. However, there remains a profound gap in understanding the route from genes, the effect of mutations on Purkinje cells and ultimately the behavioural phenotype. Given that conditions like autism are disorders of consciousness it is likely that progress will be made beyond the data generating enterprise, by improved theoretical models of the mind-body gap. A way forward is the proposal of consciousness as embodiment of a process of world discovery through motor efference copy. The cerebellum and basal ganglia are essential to a component theory of motor efference copy, providing a heuristic for understanding the structure of cortical dorsal and ventral stream pathways of a sensory modality. This then, further suggests that autism results from a selective dorsal stream dysfunction with all the attendant and hierarchical features that follow such a model and lead to both high level social and attentional deficits as well as lower level motor and restrictive interests. The paper aims to present evidence for dorsal stream dysfunction and how it may relate to a primary cerebellar pathology. The involvement of the cerebellum in most if not all syndromic cases of comorbid ASD is then presented. Finally, it isshown how such insights can be used to propose a general medical intervention based on the use of cerebellar rTMS across the disorder spectrum.

On the Connections between Relational and XML Probabilistic Data Models

Published: July 2018

A number of uncertain data models have been proposed,based on the notion of compact representations of probability distributionsover possible worlds. In probabilistic relational models, tuples areannotated with probabilities or formulae over Boolean random variables.In probabilistic XML models, XML trees are augmented with nodesthat specify probability distributions over their children. Both kinds ofmodels have been extensively studied, with respect to their expressivepower, compactness, and query efficiency, among other things. Probabilisticdatabase systems have also been implemented, in both relationaland XML settings. However, these studies have mostly been carried outindependently and the translations between relational and XML models,as well as the impact for probabilistic relational databases of resultsabout query complexity in probabilistic XML and vice versa, have notbeen made explicit: we detail such translations in this article, in bothdirections, study their impact in terms of complexity results, and presentinteresting open issues about the connections between relational andXML probabilistic data models.

Analysis of the laws which form, direct universe and of the interacting elements in the interactions emerging by these laws. Forming the theoretical, philosophical infrastructure of the some physical concepts and phenomena such as kinetic energy, uncertainty, length contraction, relative energy transformations, gravity, time and light speed to understand universe better manner as well as possible. Almost any physical subject takes us easily to the same point by visiting the other subjects because of the creation type of matter as there is no alternative. Every mathematical equation is a production of a thinking; so it does not have to be right always as it may has different meanings for different minds and because of wrong thinking, assembly elements even if it may has a certain information sometimes or usually. If our portion is, our portion is as we took some pickaxes and shovels, starting for science mining as the below to understand universe better manner, if it is possible especially by strong evidences by thinking first as simple as possible. Only one pencil and one paper are enough. At this situation, the biggest problem is to be one of them exists and the other does not of them.

Disagreeing about development: An analysis of parent-teacher agreement in ADHD symptom trajectories across the elementary school years
Authors: Murray Aja Louise , Booth Tom , Ribeaud Denis , Eisner Manuel
Published: July 2018

Objectives: It is well-known that in cross-sectional analyses, agreement between informants is modest as best when rating ADHD and other disruptive behaviour disorder symptoms. We here aimed to develop recommendations for the use of multi-informant data in the context of longitudinal developmental analyses that examine symptom trajectories over time. Method: Using parallel process modelling, we estimated parent-teacher agreement in inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptom initial levels and slopes across the elementary school years (ages 7, 9 and 11) for a community sample of n=1388 youth. We also used these models to examine whether initial levels and slopes differed significantly across informants.Results: Informant agreement was low to moderate and higher for inattention slopes (r=.47) than for hyperactivity/impulsivity slopes (r=.23). Parents and teachers reported opposite developmental trends for inattention with teachers reporting declines and parents reporting increases over time. Parents reported overall higher levels of hyperactivity/impulsivity but there were no average informant differences in slopes. Conclusion: Of the options available, we recommend specifying separate but correlated factors for different informants in developmental analyses of ADHD. This can be achieved within latent growth curve and growth mixture models.

Визначальним фактором стимулювання розвитку туристичних відносин, від появи сфери туризму в світі й до її розквіту, була та залишається проблема, пов’язана з недостатньою уніфікованістю вимог законодавств країн світу щодо переміщення туристів, надання туристичних й пов’язаних з ними послуг та захисту прав туристів. Тому, особливо актуального значення в сучасній туристичній діяльності набуває консумерський рух та нормативно-правове регулювання у цьому напрямку.
