Perceptions of preventing premarital sex among adolescents on Islamic campus
Authors: Waliyanti Ema , Wulandari Dwi
Published: February 2024

Background: Adolescents are curious, challenge themselves, and take risks. Unstable adolescent self-control, lack of knowledge, and lack of faith make adolescents susceptible to premarital sex. Purpose: To explore perceptions of preventing premarital sex among adolescents on an Islamic campus. Method: This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection through in-depth interviews using an interview guide with 7 students identified through purposive and maximum variation sampling. Validity testing of the data using member checks, peer debriefing, and thick descriptions. Thematic analysis was carried out using Open Code 4.02 software. Results: Students perceive premarital sex as sex before marriage, kissing, holding hands, and hugging, which can have physical, psychological, academic, and social consequences. The causative factors are lust, food, environment, and knowledge. Premarital sex can be prevented by oneself, religion, campus, education, and parents. Premarital sex can be dealt with by regulation and institutional treatment. Islam considers premarital sex unlawful, and students on Islamic campuses do not necessarily abstain from premarital sex. This perception is influenced by culture, experience, and history of information. Conclusion: Perception will influence students' behavior towards premarital sex, so they need to have good knowledge and self-control to avoid premarital sex behavior.
The Effects of a Less Repressive Counternarcotics Policy on Post-conflict Violence
Authors: Alvarez Giovanny
Published: February 2024

This paper examines the connection between post-conflict violence and crime incentives. The argument is that violence should increase after the peace signature due to the regulatory role of illegal actors in a war economy.  Colombia made history by signing a peace agreement with the FARC guerrillas, which was hailed as one of the most inclusive and progressive ever but also marked a significant shift towards a less repressive counternarcotics policy.  Contrary to expectations, the peace agreements led to a rise in homicide rates in areas previously controlled by FARC. By integrating multiple datasets and using comparative interrupted time series, this paper reveals a significant change in homicide rates in municipalities with previous FARC presence after the peace accords. The rise in post-conflict violence in these municipalities is ascribed to the combination of FARC withdrawal and unanticipated crime incentives, which does not necessarily imply the failure of the counternarcotics policy. 
Limited overlap among behavioral tasks, pro-environmental propensity, and carbon footprint (preprint)

Published: February 2024

Self-reports of behavior are often aggregated to measure generalized pro-environmental propensity or environmental impact. Behavioral tasks such as the Carbon Emission Task (CET) and the Work for Environmental Protection Task (WEPT) allow observing specific behaviors with environmental consequences under controlled conditions. It is unclear to what extent these tasks reflect individual differences in pro-environmental propensity and environmental impact. In a pre-registered online study of 575 residents of England, we estimated associations between these behavioral tasks, common propensity and impact measures, as well as socioeconomic status. The CET and WEPT were weakly related to each other, and weakly to moderately to stronger environmentalist identity and the Recurring Pro-environmental Behavior Scale (REBS). This is consistent with the CET and WEPT covering part of people’s generalized propensity to act pro-environmentally. In addition, the CET and REBS were weakly related to lower carbon footprint, but the WEPT and environmentalist identity were not, providing further evidence that pro-environmental propensity has limited relevance for environmental impact. Income and wealth were moderately related to a higher carbon footprint, underscoring the need for changing high-impact behaviors, especially among affluent people.

Published: February 2024

Social communication, a defining characteristic of autistic individuals, poses challenges in capturing nuanced changes over interventions, especially within short timeframes. Existing outcome measures, primarily validated in Western contexts, raise uncertainties about their validity to culturally diverse groups, such as Chinese families. Addressing this gap, the Social Communication Scale (SCS) was developed to assess social communication behaviors in Chinese autistic preschoolers, providing a culturally sensitive and accessible measure. Results indicate that the SCS exhibits outstanding inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.90) and convergent validity with established measures, including ADOS-2, the language and communication subdomain of the MSEL, and VABS-3. Notably, the SCS displays high sensitivity to changes, demonstrated by its significant response to a 20-week parent-implemented social communication support program. As the first social communication scale developed for Chinese autistic preschoolers, the SCS emerges as a reliable, valid, and sensitive measure. This addresses unique challenges in autism assessment and intervention in China. To strengthen its broader applicability, future research should prioritize validating the SCS with larger and diverse samples across various regions, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of its value and limitations.
Cognitive reflection and Normality Identities: two new benchmarks for models of probability judgments
Authors: Huang Jiaqi Adam , Busemeyer Jerome R , Pothos Emmanuel , Ebelt Zo
Published: February 2024

We propose two novel benchmarks for assessing models of probability judgments: the impact of Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) on probability judgment expressions and 16 "normality identities" expected to sum to 1 under classical probability theory. We compared three models on these benchmarks – the Probability Plus Noise Model (PPN), the Bayesian Sampler (BS), and the Quantum Sequential Sampler (QSS) – using the largest dataset to date for probability judgments. Our results reveal that higher CRT scores are associated with fewer probabilistic fallacies and identity violations, a trend most accurately captured by the QSS, although we also identified QSS limitations. Regarding the normality identities, the QSS outperformed the PPN and the BS, which had difficulty with both the average values of the normality identities and their dependence on CRT scores. Additionally, we uncovered a unique "1 crossing" effect for normality identities N8 and N11, an effect PPN and BS cannot capture.
Employees Describe Different Facilitators for a Good Hybrid Work-Life
Authors: Eng Ingela , Tjernberg Michaela , Champoux-Larsson Marie-France
Published: February 2024

While a significant number of employees want a hybrid workplace solution where they can combine onsite and remote work, many employers require their employees to work exclusively onsite. This discrepancy can partly depend on the prevailing knowledge gap regarding success factors for performance and work-life balance (WLB) in the hybrid work context. To fill this knowledge gap, we used a reflexive thematic analysis to investigate suggestions of success factors for collaboration, work-related health and WLB in 33 hybrid workers. The success factors suggested by our participants were formed into four themes: (i) Combining onsite and remote work environments supports work effectiveness, (ii) Socialization and collaboration onsite and remotely facilitate work engagement, (iii) Suitable ICT-solutions, digital maturity, and structured communication facilitate work engagement and effectiveness, and (iv) Workplace flexibility, empowerment and personalized strategies facilitate work-related health and WLB. Overall, our results indicate that employees find that the hybrid work model can be optimal since it overcomes the shortcomings of onsite and remote work environments, respectively. Our results also suggest that a sustainable hybrid work-life can be achieved through a combination of common strategies at the organizational level and individual strategies at the personal level.

Authors: Cain Joshua , Simonian Ninette , Bystritsky Alexander , May Jezabel , Reggente Nicco
Published: February 2024

This study explores the intersection of meditation and neurostimulation, focusing on Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (FUS) as a potential aid in achieving meditative states. We compared the effects of FUS to sham stimulation in experienced and novice meditators, targeting three specific brain regions: the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), the caudate nucleus (CN), and the insular cortex (Iav). Our investigation is particularly relevant given the growing evidence of meditation's positive impact on mental health and well-being, and the challenges many face in maintaining regular meditative practice. The chosen targets are backed by empirical and theoretical support, reflecting their roles in meditative states and related cognitive functions. This study not only contributes to understanding the neural mechanisms of meditation but also explores the potential of FUS in enhancing meditative practices, especially for those who struggle to achieve these states independently.

Published: February 2024

Women are a group or group that is vulnerable to violence that occurs in society. To overcome various issues of violence that occur against women, special attention is needed from all groups, both community groups and government circles, consisting of the central government and regional governments. This certainly has an impact on the existence of women's groups in the social order amidst demands for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's). If we refer to the concept of "mainstreaming" itself, it can be interpreted as a process that is carried out to bring aspects that were previously considered unimportant or marginal into the decision-making and management of main institutional activities and work programs. This series of strategies was prepared based on insight, critical awareness and data obtained from gender analysis. Therefore, this study is considered important to look at gender representation in Siak Hijau policies.

Published: February 2024

Suicidal behavior, a global public health issue, is one of the prevalent problems among adolescents in Nepal with highest rate of suicidal ideation and higher rates of suicidal attempt among the countries of South East Asia Region (SEAR). The Interpersonal psychological theory of suicide (IPTS) is a widely used and well-known theory that provides an interpersonal psychological framework which can contribute in understanding suicidal behavior. Although its application is found in international level, the lack of knowledge remains among Nepalese adolescents. Hence, this review is aimed to assess the applicability of IPTS in understanding suicidal behavior of adolescents in Nepal. A literature search was conducted using electronic databases (PubMed, Hinari, Nepjol, Research gate, and Google scholar). A scoping review of the articles published in peer-reviewed journals and grey literatures was done. We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) in reporting the review and six-step process recommended by Arksey and O’Malley (2005) was adopted. Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) were used in search strategy which helped in combining key terms. The studies which assessed the relation between the constructs of IPTS i.e., thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness and suicidal behavior among adolescents in Nepal were included, i.e., 14 studies which met the inclusion criteria.The findings revealed various risk factors which support the use of IPTS as those relate with the constructs of thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness to explain suicidal behaviors among adolescents. Therefore, the findings indicated the use of the framework provided by IPTS in understanding suicidal behavior among Nepalese adolescents as well as highlighted the importance of interpersonal risk factors to prevent suicidal behavior.

Public Support for Canals: Lower versus Upper Canada
Authors: Russell Peter A.
Published: February 2024

A false image dominates too many recent surveys of Canadian history: that Lower Canada opposed canals, which Upper Canada supported. This pervasive image is not borne out by an examination of the public support for canals in the two legislatures. Both supported large-scale ventures (Lachine and Welland). French Canadians also supported smaller regional canals as well as canals above Montreal. Upper Canadians were more sharply divided along regional and party lines in support for the Welland Canal than were Lower Canadians over any canal. Legislatures in both the Canadas supported canals that they saw as most beneficial for their supporters whether conceived as a region or a party.
“A Program of Pacification”?: Federal Funding and Indigenous Political Organizing in Canada, 1968–71
Authors: Humalajoki Reetta
Published: February 2024

This article explores the founding and financing of national Indigenous organizations during the shift in Canadian politics towards the ideal of participatory democracy during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It investigates the emergence of two separate organizations, the National Indian Brotherhood (nib) for “status Indians” and the Native Council of Canada (ncc) for “non-status Indians” and Métis, following the collapse of the pan-Indigenous National Indian Council (nic) in 1968. It highlights the key role that funding played in the structuring of national-level Indigenous politics but argues that accepting federal funding did not simply equate to government control. Instead, both the nib and ncc successfully resisted and – in limited ways – shaped federal policies towards Indigenous peoples. The issue of federal funding opened questions regarding Indigenous rights and self-determination, concepts that were employed in differing ways by the leaders of these organizations and federal officials. While marking a stark shift away from the earlier suppression of Indigenous political movements, federal funding was used to integrate different Indigenous groups as citizens into the Canadian settler state. Nevertheless, federal funding served not only to limit, but also to expand, the practical possibilities of Indigenous organizing, with political leaders recasting government money as the right of Indigenous peoples and a tool for self-determination.

ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION FOR CHOOSING INDIVIDUAL RESPIRATORY PROTECTION MEANS
Authors: Holinko Vasyl , Kravchenko Bohdan
Published: February 2024

Objective. Develop a theoretical and methodological approach to economically justify the selection of individual respiratory protection means (IRPM) taking into account the risk of occupational respiratory organ diseases caused by workplace air pollution and the impact of respirators on employee productivity.

Methods. The study uses analytical methods, probability theory methods, statistical data analysis of respiratory diseases in employees, and economic-mathematical modeling methods.

Results. The proposed methodological approach for choosing IRPM for respiratory protective equipment for employees takes into account both the expenses for procurement and maintenance of respirators, as well as the losses associated with their use. This includes the economic impact of occupational diseases caused by dust exposure, reduced employee productivity when using IRPM, and accidents related to its use. Analytical dependencies are used to calculate the losses of various types of respirators, considering their protection class, breathing resistance, and usage conditions. These conditions include the difficulty of work, meteorological conditions, maximum single permissible dust concentration in the workplace air, and the duration of work in harmful conditions. The probability of occupational diseases caused by dust is assessed based on probability relationships..

Scientific novelty. The proposed methodological approach for selecting IRPM for respiratory organ protection is unique in its comprehensive consideration of procurement and maintenance costs and the losses associated with using or not using IRPM. This includes the economic consequences of events related to the occurrence of occupational diseases caused by dust, reduced employee productivity when using IRPM, and accidents related to IRPM use.

Practical value. Implementing the proposed approach for selecting IRPM for individaul respiratory protection means will allow companies to justify their expenses for purchasing and maintaining respirators and reduce the risk of occupational diseases caused by dust exposure among employees working in harmful conditions.

Keywords: risk, occupational diseases, harmful occupational factors, dust, working conditions, individual respiratory protection means, economic justification.

The article deals with the organization of practical classes in geography lessons based on a system-activity approach. The principle of the system-activity approach ensures the achievement of the planned educational goals and learning outcomes, creates the basis for the independent successful assimilation by students of new knowledge, skills, competencies and various ways of activity.Practical work based on a system-activity ap-proach is aimed at the development of each student, at the formation of their individual abilities, and also al-lows to significantly strengthen knowledge and increase the pace of studying the material without overload-ing students. At the same time, favorable conditions are created for their multi-level training, the implementa-tion of the modeling principle. The various groupand individual tasks proposed during the lesson on the basis of differentiated learning, taking into account individual educational trajectories and individual development of each student, ensure the growth of creative potential, cognitive motives, enrichment of forms of education-al cooperation and expansion of the zone of immediate development. During the practical classes, to test the feasibility of the proposed methods of the system-activity approach, the pedagogical experiment took place in two classes–a control and an experimental group. A practical lesson based on formative learning using a sys-tem-activity approach gave better learning results than in the control group. To increase cognitive interest in the elements of the Geography subject, it is necessary to organize the educational process by introducing and applying elements of a systematic and active approach.The analysis of the results of the experiment showed the expediency and effectiveness of the proposed didactic tools in the geography lesson.

oung toddlers’ early experience of digital screen-watching engagement is extraordinary for their first three years of cognitive, language, physical, social, and emotional development. While previous studies have doc-umented that toddlers’ digital use negatively impacts from an ecological perspective. However, some work has shown that digital screen media opens learning outcomes for toddlers around three years old. Besides, there are significant literature gaps related to well-designed, theoretically proven, empirically researched principles of digital content creation for young toddlers. Therefore, the present study used inclusion and ex-clusion criteria, a PRISMA (The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) flow chart, and screening research hot spots to reveal the principles of creating digital content for toddlers aged 0 to 3. Bibliometric analysis on research hotspots and leading researchers’ publications evokes constitute the trends in digital content creation and consumption. The findings showed a compilation of eleven principles of digital content creation for young screen consumers based on the screening process from the Dimension data-base. This study used the bibliometric analysis method to seek publications on principles of digital content creation for young toddlers to provide further research directions in empirical research

Usefulness of Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Miscarriage Surgery for Induced Abortion and Retained Products of Conception: a Narrative Review
Authors: Cloet Leonore
Published: February 2024

Background: Miscarriage surgery is one of the most performed surgeries worldwide. Prophylactic antibiotics aim to avoid postoperative pelvic infection. Its use and benefit are well-known in induced surgical abortion, but far more ambiguous for miscarriage surgery for retained products of conception. Objective: To investigate the usefulness of prophylactic antibiotics in miscarriage surgery for retained products of conception and induced abortion and evaluate the antibiotic regimen of preference. Material and Methods: A comprehensive electronic literature search was conducted using PubMed, MEDLINE and Google Scholar. There were no specific inclusion criteria concerning study design, publication year, language, or study population. Results: When evaluating the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis for surgical intervention in induced abortion, 12 out of 19 studies showed a significant reduction on pelvic infection compared to the control group. There was no consensus regarding type and regimen of antibiotics. Five studies investigated prophylaxis in interventions for retained products of conception, of which 2 could show a significant effect. Conclusion: There is evidence that antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the risk of pelvic infection. Single dose preoperatively is favoured, for its effectiveness and patient compliance. Doxycycline and metronidazole are preferred, as for the type of antibiotics. There is limited evidence that antibiotic prophylaxis for surgical removal of retained products of conception or non-viable pregnancies might reduce the risk of pelvic infection.

El amaranto es uno de los cultivos más antiguos de América y, probablemente, de la humanidad; este pseudocereal contiene un alto valor nutricional y genera grandes beneficios en la salud; su alimento es usado y transformado para crear gran diversidad de productos, como, por ejemplo: en repostería, almuerzos, cenas, bebidas, bebidas alcohólicas, leche vegetal, heladería, entre otros. Actualmente, el amaranto es desconocido en el departamento de Nariño, por lo que su implementación en la dieta de la población sería una gran alternativa, pues hoy en día son muchos los problemas de salud que la aquejan; según el Plan Decenal Dhana 2020-2029 (Gobernación de Nariño, 2020), entre ellos están: la malnutrición por exceso de comidas procesadas, deficiencia de hierro, de zinc, vitaminas y minerales, iniciando desde la niñez hasta la edad adulta. Por ende, las nuevas tendencias saludables han motivado a las personas a preocuparse más por su bienestar, buscando alternativas de alimentos beneficiosos.

To better analyze the power energy optimization problem in the integrated energy system, this paper uses PSO algorithm with good global search ability as the scheduling model solution. Firstly, we propose the joint optimal scheduling model of power integrated energy system with the participation of user side, and provide corresponding algorithm objectives and constraints. Then, PSO algorithm using inertia weight to control the learning factor is adopted to improve its convergence speed and obtain the optimal solution of equipment output and performance index. Finally, through specific examples, the model is verified and the optimal scheduling scheme of the integrated energy system under the objectives of economy and environmental protection is acquired. The results show that the scheme can effectively avoid particles falling into local optimization, and accurately calculate the reliability quantitative index of the comprehensive energy system in the target area, which ensures the coordinated interaction of endogenous, storage and load in the power system.

Considering the fluctuation of predicted output power of new energy units such as wind power, a strategy to strengthen the dispatching optimization of new energy distribution network is proposed. Taking the constraints such as operation cost, voltage deviation and network loss of distribution network as a reference, we provide the description of wind power active power control. Then, combined with stochastic chance constrained programming, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to establish the optimal dispatching model of “source-network-load” distribution network. Finally, the effectiveness of the models and methods proposed in this chapter is verified by a simulation example of IEEE-33 node distribution system. The results show that the comprehensive optimization of the two is better than the reconstruction or optimization separately, which can facilitate the dispatcher to select the best optimal scheduling strategy.

To effectively evaluate the aging and moisture status of high-voltage bushings, a method for evaluating the insulation status of high-voltage bushings is proposed. This article analyzes the time-domain dielectric properties of oil-paper composite insulation in different aging states, and proposes the use of time-domain dielectric spectroscopy method to solve the equivalent circuit parameters of transformer oil-paper insulation under uncertain relaxation terms. In order to expand the application range of time-domain dielectric spectroscopy, Morlet wavelet is adopted to transform such signal and reduce background interference in high-frequency current. In the simulation section, a simulation model of high-voltage bushing oil-paper insulation structure is established. By analyzing the relaxation process of oil-water mixture, the insulation status of high-voltage bushings with different degrees of aging is tested. The experimental results show that time-domain dielectric spectroscopy analysis based on wavelet transform can acquire overall spectral information reflecting physical properties, which can be used for insulation detection and condition evaluation of oil-paper high-voltage bushings.

Changes in the membrane potential of neurons in the cerebral cortex produce measurable electrical brain activity. Electroencephalograms (EEGs) measure and record these electrical activity signals through the montage of the brain electrical activity signal channels formed by non-invasive sensing electrode arrays attached to the cortex. As a non-invasive detection method, EEG is widely used in the research fields of neuroscience and cognitive psychology. With the rapid development of electronic and computer technology, the development of Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology has been promoted. This paper proposed a self-adaptive coupled motion control strategy based on the current working pose and micro-torque feedback. Compared with the conventional control way, no matter the coherence or the stability, this self-adaptive coupled motion control strategy manifests the better performance than conventional non-feedback mechanism.
