Advancement of Baduy Muslims (Historical Overview of Religious Conversion in The Baduy Community)
Authors: Arif Muhamad , Solihin Solihin , Fatimah Siti
Published: January 2024

Many people think that the Baduy people are very fanatical in carrying out their customary system and at the same time rejecting outside influences, including Islam. However, researchers found different evidence of this assumption. This study aims to provide a historical overview of the connectedness of the Baduy people to the Islamic religion, so that some Baduy residents in Kampung Landeuh have now converted their religion to Islam. By using historical research methods, researchers collect sources, criticize sources, interpret information, then write about the progress of Baduy Muslims. This research resulted in three important findings. First, the Baduy people have known Islam since the beginning of the spread of Islam in Banten, when Prabu Pucuk Umun and his retainers were still living in Banten, before handing over the power of Banten to Maulana Hasanuddin. Second, there was a gradual transfer of the beliefs of the Baduy people from Sunda Wiwitan to the Agama Selam Sunda Wiwitan during the time of Maulana Yusuf, until now some Baduy people have embraced Islam. Third, there has been an increase in the number of Muslim Baduy because more and more Baduy people have left their traditional environment to live in Kampung Landeuh.Banyak orang beranggapan bahwa masyarakat Baduy sangat fanatik dalam menjalankan sistem adat sekaligus menolak keras pengaruh luar, termasuk Islam. Namun, peneliti menemukan bukti yang berbeda dari anggapan tersebut. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran sejarah tentang keterhubungan masyarakat Baduy dengan agama Islam, sehingga beberapa warga Baduy di Kampung Landeuh saat ini telah mengkonversi agama mereka sebagai penganut Islam. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian sejarah, peneliti mengumpulkan sumber, mengkritisi sumber, menafsirkan informasi, kemudian menulis tentang kemajuan Muslim Baduy. Penelitian ini menghasilkan tiga temuan penting. Pertama, masyarakat Baduy telah mengenal Islam sejak awal penyebaran Islam di Banten, ketika Prabu Pucuk Umun dan para punggawanya masih bermukim di Banten, sebelum menyerahkan kekuasaan Banten kepada Maulana Hasanuddin. Kedua, terjadi perpindahan kepercayaan masyarakat Baduy secara bertahap dari Sunda Wiwitan menjadi Agama Selam Sunda Wiwitan pada masa Maulana Yusuf, hingga saat ini beberapa warga Baduy telah menganut Islam. Ketiga, terjadi peningkatan jumlah Baduy Muslim karena semakin banyak masyarakat Baduy yang meninggalkan lingkungan adatnya untuk tinggal di Kampung Landeuh.

This article outlines a view of the origins of language according to Hegel's dialectical perspective. This stems from the author's understanding of Hegel's concept which states that the substance of the mind originates from the spirit. This article explains that history originates from a spirit that introduces itself through thought and intuition. In this context, the activity of speaking has higher value than the written word; and listening activities have higher meaning than reading activities. Therefore, intelligence-linguistics crosses historical and cultural periods, developing from the free movement and power of the mind. Researchers use four stages of the historical method, namely heuristics, verification, interpretation and historiography. This article uses Hegel's dialectical theory with a historical philosophy approach. This research aims to interpret Hegel's dialectical logic and philosophical ideas in understanding the emergence of language, as a linguistic interaction. The results of this research show that, by utilizing dialectical and intuitive logic, one can hear the intuitive phenomenon of the existence of language features such as utterances, words and abstract phonemes. On that basis, someone is able to explain and express verbal or linguistic expressions flexibly in a concrete discourse event. On this basis, someone is able to think epistemologically and linguistically.Artikel ini menguraikan pandangan tentang asal mula munculnya bahasa menurut perspektif dialektika Hegel. Hal ini bermula dari pemahaman penulis tentang konsep Hegel yang menyatakan bahwa substansi pikiran bersumber dari roh. Artikel ini menjelaskan bahwa sejarah bersumber dari roh yang mengenalkan dirinya melalui pikiran dan intuisi. Dalam konteks ini, aktivitas berbicara lebih tinggi nilainya daripada kata-kata yang tertulis; dan aktivitas mendengar lebih tinggi maknanya daripada aktivitas membaca. Oleh karena itu, inteligensi-linguistik melintasi periode sejarah dan budaya, yang berkembang dari gerakan dan kekuatan pikiran yang bebas. Peneliti menggunakan empat tahapan metode sejarah (historical method), yaitu heuristik, verifikasi, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menginterpretasikan logika dialektis Hegel dan ide-ide filosofisnya dalam memahami munculnya bahasa, sebagai suatu interaksi linguistik. Artikel ini menggunakan teori dialektika Hegel dengan pendekatan filsafat sejarah. Hasil penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa, dengan memanfaatkan logika dialektis dan intuitif, seseorang dapat mendengarkan fenomena intuitif keberadaan fitur-fitur bahasa seperti ucapan, kata, dan fonem abstrak. Atas dasar itu, seseorang mampu menjelaskan dan mengekspresikan ungkapan verbal atau kebahasan secara fleksibel dalam suatu peristiwa wacana yang konkret. Atas dasar itu pula seseorang mampu berpikir secara epistemologis dan linguistik.
“IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, ASK”.AN EXPLORATORY RESEARCH BETWEEN CREATORS AND USERS OF SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AS ABASIS FORBUILDING A FRUITFUL DIALOGUE BETWEEN ACADEMIA AND SCIENTIFIC DISSEMINATION
Authors: Silva Roberta , Bevilacqua Alessia , Lo Jacono Sara , Puecher Susanna
Published: January 2024

La Science Communication (SC) recentemente si caratterizza per una fusione tra divulgazione ed edutainment e per una diffusione tramite social media, con interazioni cross-platform. Ciò ne massimizza l’efficacia perché promuove un rinforzo comunicativo e una riflessione personale da parte del fruitore (Fisch, 2013; Jarvin, 2015, Foel, 2021). Inoltre, grazie alla costruzione di community coese, risignifica il processo all’interno di un framework socialmente significativo. Sebbene siano già state colte le potenzialità educative della SC (Duffy, 2008), oggi è necessario un approfondimento: è stata perciò promossa una ricerca che interroga creatori e fruitori attraverso una rilevazione con domande chiuse e aperte e che proseguirà con una successiva fase condotta attraverso interviste semi-strutturate. Lo scopo è partire dall’esperienza dei soggetti per comprendere come costruire percorsi didattici a cavallo tra science education e media education e instaurare un dialogo proficuo tra accademia e divulgazione scientifica.

Published: January 2024

Blastomycosis is a rarely known disease in India. This review traces the misdiagnosed cases of the disease reported as early as 1925 and later till 1997. Of the several authentic cases reported from India, only two have been authentically diagnosed autochthonous cases. Our case diagnosed on histological basis had a diagnostic dilemma as one of the PAS stained tissue section from the lesion showed slightly elongated yeast cells though these were with multiple budding. With the help of academic colleagues (joint authors in the paper), diagnosis of this case as blastomycosis was confirmed by latest molecular techniques as described in the case report. The clinical and diagnostic features of human autochthonous cases are reviewed. There is only known report of canine blastomycosis from India. It is suggested additional canine cases should be looked for in different parts of India to facilitate detection of endemic foci of B. dermatitidis in the country.

Introduction: The intermediate cuneiform, positioned between the medial and lateral cuneiform bones, takes on a wedge shape and is firmly connected to the first metatarsal through robust ligaments. It is recessed at the second metatarsal base and forms the “keystone” of the Lisfranc tarsometatarsal joint complex. An isolated dislocation of the cuneiform is an exceedingly uncommon injury. Dislocation of intermediate cuneiform with non-displaced lateral cuneiform fracture is so rare that is worthy of report. Case report: A 35-year-old man, presented to the emergency department, after a closed trauma to the left foot resulting from a sport accident, involving a mechanism of plantar hyperflexion. The initial clinical examination of his foot revealed swelling and tenderness on dorsomedial aspect of the left foot. An initial plain radiograph showed dorsal dislocation of the intermediate cuneiform bone and a nondisplaced fracture of the lateral cuneiform. Discussion: Closed reduction has little chance in these injuries. Although the failure rates of closed reduction are high, it should be attempted before open procedures. In this case, closed reduction was successful. Due to the rarity of this injury and technique, our case adds to the literature a novel reduction method.

Purpose: Compositional music therapy involves the creation of original music by the therapist, the patient/client, or both together. The purpose of this systematic review is to examine techniques of compositional music therapy and the evidence for its therapeutic uses. Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed in performing this systematic review. Studies published in the last 25 years from January 1998 to December 2023 were identified through the use of the PubMed, PsycInfo, and Google Scholar databases, using the following keywords: Musi*, AND Therap*, AND Compos*. Two authors independently conducted a focused analysis and reached a final consensus on nine studies that met the specific selection criteria and passed the study quality checks. Results: Review yielded four key compositional music therapy techniques: songwriting, lyric analysis, instrumental composition, and therapeutic rap and singing. Eight out of the nine studies showed positive results for compositional music therapy. These techniques were associated with reduction in anxiety levels and an enhancement of positive affective states, the development of coping strategies, and improvement of emotional regulation. Conclusion: This review shows a body of positive evidence for compositional music therapy, highlighting its potential to foster psychological and physiological well-being across various demographics, especially in terms of coping strategies and emotion regulation. Future directions include the use of digital music technology for composition in music therapy.

Learning media is very important in the world of education. Good learning media will influence the variety of teaching in the classroom and it is hoped that it can also improve student achievement. During the COVID-19 pandemic there were many interesting variations of learning that could increase students' interest and motivation in learning, both from the elementary/junior high school/high school-equivalent levels. One way is to carry out learning through interesting games that can be adapted by students in order to increase student motivation and be able to make students more interested in learning and improve their achievements. Kahoot is an internet-based learning media containing quizzes and games. In this service, an introduction to educational game-based learning is carried out at the Daarul Alya Islamic Boarding School because it is still relatively passive and is not familiar with technology as in other SD/SMP/SMA/equivalent as a form of variation in student learning. The results of the evaluation of this activity were that most students stated that kahoot was very easy to understand and highly motivated them in learning. So that in future implementation similar educational games will be carried out from various subjects to increase student motivation and achievement in the learning process.

Abstract

The creation of Siti Hawa from the ribs of the prophet Adam is a sign that women are physically weaker than men. Therefore also the background so that they often get unfair treatment or discrimination. But over time, the signal has faded, especially in Indonesia. This fact is inseparable from the services of a female emancipation warrior, RA Kartini. Today many women are as successful as men. No longer can the number of those who hold the reins of leadership be counted, one of them being the headmaster in various educational institutions, ranging from the lowest level of education to tertiary education. Whereas leadership positions in the education sector are very urgent and determine whether or not the vision, mission and goals of education are achieved or not. An in-depth study of opinions which states that "actually women have the same potential as those of men". No matter how great a woman is, she can't be released as a housewife.

 

Abstrak

Terciptanya Siti Hawa dari tulang rusuk nabi Adam merupakan satu isyarat bahwa kaum perempuan itu lebih lemah fisiknya dibanding kaum pria. Oleh karena itu pulalah yang menjadi latar sehingga mereka sering mendapat perlakuan tidak adil alias diskriminasi. Namun seiring berjalannya waktu, isyarat itu telah pudar, khususnya di Indonesia. Kenyataan ini tak lepas dari jasa seorang pejuang emansipasi wanita, RA Kartini. Hari ini banyak sudah kaum perempuan yang berhasil seperti kaum laki-laki. Tak lagi dapat dihitung jumlah mereka yang memegang tampuk-tampuk kepemimpinan, salah satunya menjadi kepala sekolah di berbagai lembaga pendidikan, mulai dari tingkat pendidikan terendah sampai perguruan tinggi. Padahal jabatan kepemimpinan di sektor pendidikan sangat urgen dan menentukan tercapai atau tidaknya visi, misi dan sasaran pendidikan. Perlu kajian mendalam tentang pendapat yang menyatakan bahwa “sebenarnya perempuan memiliki potensi yang sama sebagaimana yang dimiliki oleh laki-laki”. Karena sehebat apapun seorang perempuan, titel sebagai ibu rumahtangga tak dapat ia lepaskan.
Re-examining the Key Issues Concerning the Craftworks Uncovered from Tonggung Palace and Wŏlchi Pond in Kyŏngju
Authors: Shin Suk
Published: January 2024

The excavation of Wŏlchi pond in Kyŏngju has yielded numerous craftworks that offer crucial information about Silla’s crafts. However, due to damage or missing parts, it is difficult to fully understand the nature of some items. Additionally, there are some findings whose appearance and conditions at the time of discovery remain unidentifiable. Therefore, over 50 years since the initial excavation in 1975, it is necessary to re-examine the current key issues and discuss the future directions of studies concerning the discoveries from Tonggung Palace and Wŏlchi pond. Firstly, I examined specific shapes and production techniques that are only observed in the findings from Wŏlchi pond. Further, I investigated the usage, and manufacture and decorative techniques of crystals and various objects made of bone and horn produced in Kyŏngju. I proposed the correct function of the Lacquered Flower-shaped Ornament as a portable shrine and additionally presented the Gilt-Bronze Wick Trimmer, suitably made for its role, as evidence of the new culture involving candles. When further research is conducted into the uses, production techniques, and decorative designs of the items found in incomplete form, such as Bamboo-shaped Ornament, Bone Fragment with Flower and Bird Design, and Lacquered Plate with Flower and Foliage Design, we may be able to understand more aspects of the craft culture of Unified Silla. Furthermore, the recovered items from Wŏlchi pond exhibiting various designs, such as birds holding flowers in their beaks (hamjomun), flower medallions (bosanghwamun), and rows of beads (yeonjumun), provide evidence that Unified Silla shared a common decorative trend with Tang China and Nara Japan. Tonggung palace and Wŏlchi pond are valuable resources for the history of decorative patterns in Korea.
Rethinking the 20th-Century Korean Embroidery from Gender Perspectives
Authors: Park Hyesung
Published: January 2024

The rupture in the history of Korean embroidery is generally perceived as a severance from the traditional embroidery, made due to the Japanese colonial rule. However, it cannot be denied that the narrative of modern and contemporary Korean art history, mainly constructed around artistic movements and groups, also played a major part. The dispute encompasses the fundamental question of whether embroidery can be seen as a form of fine art from the perspective of modernist aesthetics, and the matter of hierarchy between different crafts. Also inherent are the tensions between contradictory values such as tradition and modernity, Western or Japanese and Eastern or Korean, abstract and figurative, and others peculiar to Korea, and the effects of such binary oppositions are closely related to gender problems. This paper re-examines, from gender perspectives, the chronological history of embroidery since the late 19th century, which had been placed on the periphery of Korean art history until now. In the traditional society, embroidery was produced and enjoyed privately, but moved into the public sphere through education and exhibitions for women during modernization. In the process, in order to be recognized as a form of pure art, embroidery gave up its unique characteristics as craft and took on the formative language of paintings. In the years immediately after liberation from Japanese colonial rule, which was the era of eradication of Japanese influences, establishment of national identity, and industrialization, embroidery was divided into abstract embroidery understood as more masculine, and traditional embroidery considered more feminine. Korean embroidery artists in the 20th century, as women experiencing particular historical contexts, worked with confidence in the artistic value of embroidery due to or despite their specific circumstances.
Dizang and the Ten Kings in Niche No. 73 at Yuanjue Grottoes, Anyue: An Iconographical Reassessment
Authors: Jo Choonghyun
Published: January 2024

Dizang and the Ten Kings in Niche no. 73, at Yuanjue Grottoes in Anyue, Ziyang, has been considered one of the most famous transformation tableaux of hell (diyu bianxiang) in the Sichuan Basin since it was first introduced by the local scholars in the 1980s. At the time, it was suggested that some relief-scenes in the niche, especially the central figure and its lower part, illustrate the story of Mulian, and this hypothesis continues to be occasionally cited in the academic literature to this day. However, my reexamination of the relief-scenes and related visual and literary materials reveals that the previous discussions on the niche must be reconsidered. In this paper I argue that the arrangement program of the reliefs in the niche follows the typical iconography of Dizang and the Ten Kings, which places Dizang in the center, with the Ten Kings surrounding the bodhisattva in a symmetric composition. In addition, on the bottom left of the main wall are the dead suffering at the court of Yanluo wang, and on the right are those who were saved from the fate of the three evil destinies (san edao) at the court of Wudao zhuanlun wang. There are no evidences of the hell and/or Mulian story in the niche. It seems likely that previous studies misidentified the relief-scenes of the two kings' courts with punishment in hell and made a loosen connection between the reliefs and the story of Mulian without further scrutiny of text and image.
In-store remote collaborative shopping using mobile technology: A qualitative study with premium beef consumers
Authors: Chowdhury Shahan Ahmad
Published: January 2024

  

Collaborative shopping aims to improve the quality of purchase decisions and fulfills a social need for shoppers. Food shopping provides a collaborative shopping context, however, there is a lack of research into collaborative food shopping. This research explored premium beef consumers’ in-store remote collaborative shopping and use of mobile technology through a qualitative study. Six semi-structured interviews were conducted with premium beef consumers to understand their remote collaborative shopping. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The study revealed that the main trigger for remote collaboration was to confirm the purchase with a remote partner. The results also identified that current mobile technology is sufficient for remote collaboration. However, participants were interested in using dedicated technological tools to support their remote collaborative shopping. This paper presents an understanding of remote collaborative shopping and  what factors need to be consider before designing remote collaborative shopping tools and provides direction for future research.

Published: January 2024

This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the post-weaning growth of Boer and Boer cross goats in a closed breeding farm population. A total of 1,083 female kids were selected from a record of 1,501 weaned kids produced by mating Boer bucks with Boer does, Jawarandu does, and Boer × Jawarandu does. The data collected at a private company's goat farm represent a closed breeding population from January 2013 to January 2016. The data were selected based on the weaning weight and at least one post-weaning weight at approximately 6, 9, or 12 months. Two-step linear models were applied: complete model and reduced model. The complete model factors included genetic group, buck, litter size, birth season, weaning season-year, and their interactions. The reduced model included only significant factors and two-way interactions. The results showed that the genetic group, bucks, litter size, birth season, and weaning season-year significantly affected Boer and Boer cross goats' post-weaning weight and average daily gain. Additionally, interactions between the genetic group with the buck, litter size, and birth season were observed. In conclusion, genetic and non-genetic factors significantly influence the post-weaning growth of Boer and Boer cross goats. Non-genetic factors should be considered in the model and selection to achieve optimal goat performance.

The season impacts livestock productivity and cattle kept in grazing production systems in tropical conditions. This research aims to determine the effect of season on the weight changes of Bali cows and calves on oil palm plantations. This research used 20 Bali cattle kept semi-intensively in oil palm plantation areas without feed supplementation in 2016–2018. Cows and calves were weighed at calving and every month until weaning (150 days). Season grouping was based on calving time: dry season (DS) May–October and rainy season (RS) November–April. Data were analyzed by independent T-test statistics using the SPSS 20.0 application. The results of observations showed that cows' body weight decreased gradually until the fourth month of lactation in both seasons. Cows' weight changes were only significantly different in the second month, in which cows at DS were better than RS (P<0.05). The pre-weaning average daily gain (ADG) of calves each month was not significantly different between the two seasons, and they could reach a body weight of 60.60 kg (RS) and 61.47 kg (DS) at weaning. Season differences do not impact weight changes in the Bali cows and calves in the cattle-oil palm plantation production system.

Poor antimicrobial stewardship in livestock farms will lead to the emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Dug wells as a water source and waste disposal on livestock farms have a close distance, allowing transmission of Escherichia coli-resistant bacteria through soil absorption and fecal contamination. This study aims to isolate Escherichia coli from water sources and livestock waste disposal in East Lombok Regency and determine their sensitivity to several antibiotics. The type of this research is a descriptive cross-sectional survey using four water wells and four waste disposals with a criterion of < 10m range. Escherichia coli bacteria were isolated using culture techniques on Eosin Methylene Blue Agar, and identification was carried out using gram staining and biochemical tests. Determining sensitivity to antibiotics was performed using the Kirby-Bauer disk-diffusion method. The results showed that Escherichia coli bacteria have been isolated from water sources and waste disposal on livestock farms in East Lombok Regency. 100 % Escherichia coli isolates sensitive to Gentamicin, Ciprofloxacin, and Cefotaxime. 87.5% Escherichia coli isolates sensitive to Oxytetracycline, 12.5% ​​Escherichia coli isolates resistant to Oxytetracycline, 100% Escherichia coli isolates resistant to Penicillin G. Escherichia coli bacteria isolated from water sources and waste disposal at a livestock farm in East Lombok.
Increased prevalence of childhood adversity in comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder and substance use disorders compared to either disorder alone
Authors: Patel Herry , Pelham William E. , Davis Isabella
Published: January 2024

Background. Prior findings highly implicate childhood adversity (CA) as a risk factor for the emergence of comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder (SUD). However, a general estimated CA prevalence among individuals with comorbid PTSD+SUD is unknown, limiting the extent to which the field should consider the impact of CA in comorbid PTSD+SUD research and treatment. Objective. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare CA prevalence in samples of comorbid PTSD+SUD and PTSD or SUD alone.Methods. A systematic review of PTSD, CA, and SUD literature was conducted using online databases. A meta-analysis for binary outcomes was fitted to three models comparing CA prevalence in comorbid PTSD+SUD to all comparators, PTSD only, and SUD only.Results. Seven studies were included and estimates for CA prevalence were higher, on average, among individuals with comorbid PTSD+SUD (26-73%) compared to PTSD alone (4-58%) and SUD alone (7-45%). A meta-analysis of four studies indicated individuals with comorbid PTSD+SUD were 19% more likely (RR=1.19, 95% CI=1.13;1.26) to have experienced CA compared to individuals with PTSD only and 24% (RR=1.24, 95% CI=1.19;1.29) compared to individuals with SUD only. Conclusions. Higher rates of CA among this population will inform research study design and clinical targets during treatment for individuals with comorbid PTSD+SUD. More research is needed to establish a global prevalence rate for individuals with comorbid PTSD+SUD.
Exploring the Impact of Narrative Framing on Intergroup Attitudes and Prosocial Behavior through Immigrants' Testimonial Narratives
Authors: Pizarro Carrasco José J. , Igartua Juan-José , Benet-Martínez Verónica
Published: January 2024

While narratives play a ubiquitous role in human life, there has been a recent surge in theoretical and empirical attention dedicated to understanding their impact on varied psychological outcomes. Despite previous attempts to explore the devices that influence narrative effectiveness (e.g., framing, the group cue or narrative voice) and the mechanisms they operate through (e.g., identification or emotional processes), there remains a gap in systematic and simultaneous tests in large samples. In this study, we focus on testimonial narrative messages, employing a pre-registered online experiment in Spain (N = 1502) and replicating it in Hungary (N = 960), examining the impact of narrative frames (immigrant as a profiteer vs victim vs hero), immigrant origin stigma (high vs low), and narrative voice (first- vs third-person) on participants' attitudes and helping intentions towards immigrants. Framing a testimonial in terms of victimization or heroism (compared to profiteering), improved recipients’ attitudes and helping intentions towards immigrants, and produced ripple effects. These effects manifested, primarily, through heightened psychological identification with the protagonist, resulting in increased meaningful affect and cognitive elaboration, alongside decreased counterarguing. These findings offer insights into the dynamics of narrative persuasion models and underscore the significance of testimonial messages in addressing social issues.

Here we investigated the role of the perceptual dimensions Valence and Dominance in competence ratings, along with the possibility that these relationships differ according to the type of role (i.e., employment context) for which competence is assessed. Analyses of ratings from >2500 participants showed that (1) Valence positively predicted competence ratings across a wide range of employment contexts, (2) Dominance positively predicted ratings of competence to run a large company, but negatively predicted ratings of competence for jobs requiring effective interaction with the public, and (3) neither Valence nor Dominance significantly predicted competence ratings for jobs requiring no social interaction with either colleagues or the public. These results suggest that mappings between competence ratings and Valence and Dominance can differ according to the type of interaction required for different employment contexts. Collectively, our results highlight previously unrecognised nuance in how people map facial dimensions to first impressions of competence and suggest that considering these context-sensitive mappings may improve the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing appearance-based biases in hiring decisions.

To enable a broad societal impact of science, people need to update their beliefs based on the best available evidence. Here we investigate the influences of external and internal factors on lay audiences' belief updating based on scientific evidence with a diverse sample of U.S. residents from which data was collected in May 2023. Participants were presented a series of fictitious hypotheses. For each hypothesis, we assessed their initial beliefs and subjective expertise, presented them fictitious study outcomes, and then assessed their beliefs again. Importantly, the outcomes' presentation format and ordering were manipulated. Participants exhibited more belief updating when study outcomes were presented simultaneously instead of sequentially. While chronologically ordering outcomes given sequential presentation did not affect belief updating, participants weighted more recently presented outcomes more strongly. We further found that belief updating was less pronounced with increasing subjective expertise, and more pronounced with increasing trust in science and scientific literacy. These results provide practical implications for science communication and the consumption of scientific evidence.
Good fit is weak evidence of replication: Increasing rigor through prior predictive similarity checking

Jerzy Neyman declared, “Models become plausible by repetition.” What he called repetition is now known as model replication and entails applying the same statistical model to data from different studies. Typically, researchers rely on goodness-of-fit – indexing the degree to which the model represents the data – as evidence of successful replication. But we demonstrate that goodness-of-fit testing fails to capture important (dis)similarities between studies. As an alternative, we propose prior predictive similarity checking: a method for rigorous comparison of the data patterns and/or model parameters from different studies. We illustrate this method using psychopathology data from the National Comorbidity Survey (NCS) and its purported replication, the NCS-R. Both data sets yielded excellent fit, but often failed to pass our more demanding similarity checking technique. We conclude with recommendations for applied model replication research.

Computational rationality explains human behavior as arising due to the maximization of expected utility under the constraints imposed by the environment and limited cognitive resources. This simple assumption, when instantiated via Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs), gives rise to a powerful approach for modeling human adaptive behavior, within which a variety of internal models of cognition can be embedded. In particular, such an instantiation enables the use of methods from reinforcement learning (RL) to approximate the optimal policy solution to the sequential decision-making problems posed to the cognitive system in any given setting; this stands in contrast to requiring ad hoc hand-crafted rules for capturing adaptive behavior in more traditional cognitive architectures. However, despite their successes and promise for modeling human adaptive behavior across everyday tasks,computationally rational models which use RL are not easy to build. Being a hybrid of theoretical cognitive models and machine learning (ML) necessitates that model-building take into account appropriate practices from both cognitive science and ML. The design of psychological assumptions and machine learning-decisions concerning reward specification, policyoptimization, parameter inference, and model selection, are all tangled processes rife with pitfalls that can hinder the development of valid and effective models. Drawing from a decade of work on this approach, a workflow is outlined for tackling this challenge and is accompanied by a detailed discussion of pros and cons at key decision points.
Dynamics of spontaneous thoughts: investigating the links between tendency for exploration, attentional profile and the stream of thoughts

Published: January 2024

For a long time, clinical knowledge and first-person reports have pointed to individual differences in the dynamics of spontaneous thoughts, in particular in the extreme case of psychiatric conditions (e.g. racing thoughts in Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD; rumination in depression). We used a novel procedure to investigate this individual variability by combining verbal fluency tasks and introspective reports of thought content. Our goal was twofold. First, we tested the hypothesis that a greater segmentation of the stream of thoughts would be associated with trait inattention, in line with subjective reports of ADHD patients.Second, we tested whether the segmentation of the stream of thoughts increased with an increased tendency for exploratory behavior, following recent theoretical claims on the mechanisms underpinning the generation of spontaneous thoughts. Our results support both hypotheses, shedding light on the factors contributing to the individual variability in the dynamics of the stream of thought.

The main aim of this research was to evaluate the potential of pigweed (Amaranthus) as an alternative source of iron supplementation in piglets. The paper further established whether there are differences in iron content among the three (3) species of Amaranthus used in the study. The three (3) species of amaranthus used in the study included Amaranthus spinosus, Amaranthus palmeri and Amaranthus hybridus. Three (3) samples of each species were randomly selected and each sample was replicated three (3) times giving nine (9) samples for each and a total of twenty seven (27) samples. The samples were designated as A, B and C for A. spinosus, A. palmeri and A. hybridus respectively. The iron contents were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) after ashing and dissolving in acid. Differences among treatment means were compared using F-test. The study revealed that the three (3) species differed significantly (p<0.05) in iron content with hybridus having the highest content. The current study recommends that farmers consider the use of hybridus species as an alternative source of iron supplement in piglets. The study further recommends that further research on the feeding trial be carried out to assess the effectiveness of the hybridus species on the growth performance of piglets.
