Granting Negative Rights to Humanoid Robots
Authors: Friedman Cindy
Published: January 2023

The paper argues that we should grant negative rights to humanoid robots. These are rights that relate to non-interference e.g., freedom from violence, or freedom from discrimination. Doing so will prevent moral degradation to our human society. The consideration of robot moral status has seen a progression towards the consideration of robot rights. This is a controversial debate, with many scholars seeing the consideration of robot rights in black and white. It is, however, valuable to take a nuanced approach. This paper highlights the value of taking a nuanced approach by arguing that we should consider negative rights for humanoid robots. Where a lot of discussion about robot rights centres around the possibility of robot consciousness which would warrant robots being protected by rights for their own moral sakes, the paper takes a human-centred approach. It argues that we should, at least, grant negative rights to humanoid robots for the sake of human beings and not necessarily only for the sake of robots. This is because, given the human-likeness of humanoid robots, we relate to them in a human-like way. Should we, in the context of these relations, treat these robots immorally, there is concern that we may damage our own moral fibre or, more collectively, society’s moral fibre. Thus, inhibiting the immoral treatment of robots, protects the moral fibre of society, thereby preventing moral degradation in our human society.
At Least, Be Human: Humanizing the Robot as a Medium for Communication
Authors: Suguitan Michael
Published: January 2023

This work presents accessibility as a way to humanize social robots while enabling robot-mediated communication for human-human interaction. A central tenet of human-robot interaction research is to humanize robots as collaborators and companions. Literal approaches to humanizing, either through human-like behaviors or humanoid embodiments, pose technological and social challenges that have prevented adoption of robots in everyday contexts. Even if convincingly humanized robots could be achieved, human-robot interaction may enable an escapism that diminishes our capacity for human-human interaction. I propose to avoid these pitfalls by humanizing the robot as a medium for communication through accessibility. Accessibility humanizes technology by making inner workings visible and familiar to human users, promoting understanding of technological processes and imperfections. Accessibility also enables broader demographics of lay users to become involved with robotics, enabling communication through robots, from development processes (e.g. physical and behavioral design) to applications (e.g. telepresence). I use the open-source Blossom social robot as an extended case study of this approach and detail its technical implementations and research deployments.
How Does Culture Travel? Narratives and Practices of Japan’s Social Robotics in a “Post-Cultural” World
Authors: Zhang Sonia
Published: January 2023

This essay takes 20th and 21st century Japan as a site for investigating the relationship between claims of culture and the interplay between social robots and social institutions. By historicising the state, the roboticists and the consumer body’s collective effort to establish unique cultural lineages of social robots based on positive human-non-human relationships, anthropological critique has demonstrated that rather than a self-contained entity or an objective fact, culture is best seen as interpretations that substantiate the multitude of social actions. Applying this multitude to observing social robot development provides tools for capturing and understanding the mutual shaping of social robots and institutions. Finally, this essay presents ethnographic examples of social robots’ implementation in care facilities and public areas to suggest how these interpretative spaces can challenge normative assumptions of the human and provide orientations for social robot design.
HRI: From Interaction to (Lived) Experience
Authors: Zawieska Karolina
Published: January 2023

After a couple of decades of conducting research in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), the way we understand, design and study human-robot interactions inevitably changes. Based on the preliminary findings of the ethnographic study involving roboticists, we argue that there has been a gradual shift in the HRI field from thinking of human engagement with robots in terms of ‘interaction’ towards that of ‘experience’. This is largely due to an increasing use of different robotic systems in the real-world environments that largely relies on the long-term user engagement with robots as well as a degree of human-likeness in social robots that facilitates specific experiences people have in relation to such robots. A shift towards ‘interaction experience’ goes far beyond merely adding or expanding on a User Experience (UX) perspective in HRI and it also has implications for how we understand ethics in robotics. We argue here that the change is ultimately towards human engagement with robots understood in terms of ‘lived experience’ and ‘lived ethics’ which in turn may help us envision ‘a good life’.
Humans with, Not Versus Robots
Authors: Mocanu Diana Mădălina
Published: January 2023

Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld postulated, synthesizing seemingly unbudging legal tradition, that law is about (a finite set of) relationships between humans. First animals and now, increasingly, robots make us question this. This paper will discuss in some detail the ways in which the law might accommodate some of the relationships that humans have with robots. These relationships can vary greatly as to their degree of closeness between the parties, ranging from the rather detached, in which robots are seen as tools (which arguably forms the great majority of cases now and, some argue, should always be so), to quite up close and personal as is the case with certain robots which are seen as companions or partners (increasingly being reported as a trend we are moving towards), to even seeing them as part and parcel, as extensions of our own person or body parts. Since our relationship to our tools has been dealt with by law and is largely uncontroversial, the current article will focus on human-robot collaborations and what legal shape they may take, exploring available legal avenues, as well as innovations in terms of legal status.
Social Robots Between Trust and Deception: The Impact on Institutions and Practices
Authors: Dario Paolo , Ciuti Gastone , Pirni Alberto , Capasso Marianna , Bisconti Piercosma
Published: January 2023

Since robots with a high degree of adaptability and autonomy are now increasingly supporting humans both at work and in their private life, new applications are emerging, to make optimal use of robots that need to collaborate with humans towards common goals in different social settings. All these factors are pushing the growth of the social robotics market to new frontiers, whose ambition is to provide sophisticated and novel approaches to robot performance, social acceptability and sustainability. This workshop is designed to critically evaluate these questions from a transdisciplinary perspective, by exploring how social robots can affect and challenge trust in human social institutions and practices.
Relativizing the Design: An Ameliorative Approach to the Looping Effects of Social Robots in Mental Healthcare
Authors: Vesterinen Tuomas
Published: January 2023

This paper argues that the employment of social robotics in mental healthcare can induce looping effects to the extent that the people being monitored, diagnosed and treated may change in consequence. I argue that those looping effects can and should be identified and exploited to facilitate positive mental health outcomes. This requires an ameliorative approach to designing and implementing healthcare robots that corresponds with the value-laden, interactive and culture-dependent nature of mental disorders. In support of this approach, I examine avatar robot therapy, which has been developed in Japan to treat the culture-bound syndrome hikikomori.
The Need for Novelty in Social Roles: Exploring Robots in Social Roles from the Perspective of Interactional Novelty
Authors: Smedegaard Catharina V.
Published: January 2023

Human relations are inescapably premised by the human capacity for thinking and acting with deliberate deviation from predictable, habitual, patterns of thought and action (i.e., what traditional philosophy largely understands as free-will or ‘spontaneity’). Whenever a human performs a given social role, this capacity should be included as a component of the subjective performance-dimension. Here, I reframe the capacity as a replenishable source of ‘interactional novelty’. I then propose that social robots equally bring to social interactions their own special type of novelty experiences. Comparing the nature of two types of novelty, I argue two claims. First, whereas the human type of interactional novelty lies as a continuous potential, the robotic type of novelty may only be a temporary phenomenon. Second, while not identically realized, there are good reasons to explore to which extent human interactional novelty can be substituted by robotic types of experiential novelty. With contextual knowledge of how novelty-experiences arise, it is worth speculating whether we can develop social robot applications that simulate and sustain novelty experiences with the same or at least similar interactional novelty effects that are found in some human social roles.
Institutions, Robots, Algorithms and Law
Authors: Cherny Julia
Published: January 2023

Inclusive realities, where decision making in all spheres of life becomes more and more shared with algorithmic technologies or presence of robots, either in traditional or new social phenomena, requires reconceptualisation of design approaches and improvement of general understanding of the role and responsibility of the algorithm. Legal scholarship should be the appropriate perspective for building the definitions, and the current state of research in Law is polemic.
Tamagotchi on Our Couch: Are Social Robots Perceived as Pets?
Authors: Kühne Katharina , Jeglinski-Mende Melinda A. , Bendel Oliver
Published: January 2023

Although social robots increasingly enter our lives, it is not clear how they are perceived. Previous research indicates that there is a tendency to anthropomorphize social robots, at least in the Western culture. One of the most promising roles of robots in our society is companionship. Pets also fulfill this role, which gives their owners health and wellbeing benefits. In our study, we investigated if social robots can implicitly and explicitly be perceived as pets. In an online experiment, we measured implicit associations between pets and robots using pictures of robots and devices, as well as attributes denoting pet and non-pet features, in a Go/No-Go Association Task (GNAT). Further, we asked our participants to explicitly evaluate to what extent they perceive robots as pets and if robots could replace a real pet. Our findings show that implicitly, but not explicitly, social robots are perceived as pets.

Socio-cultural factors influencing women empowerment: A cross-sectional study among an ex-criminal tribe in West Bengal, India
Authors: Jana Sila , Midya Dipak Kumar
Published: January 2023

A society cannot develop without women’s equal participation in the decision-making process within the family as well as in the society. Unquestionably, a woman can do this only when she becomes empowered at least to some extent to have control over resources. Women empowerment is a concept that enables women to enhance their status in their family as well as in society and helps to take active participation in every sphere of social aspects. Based on a cross-sectional study among 110 ever-married women of the Lodha tribe, an ex-criminal tribe, in an Indian village, we have tried to find out whether some socio-cultural factors like education, family type, and earning opportunity influence women’s decision-making capacity, and thereby, their empowerment or not. The decision-making capacity was assessed with reference to eight specific socio-cultural dimensions, _viz, _education, marriage, family planning, children’s schooling, incurring expenditure, shopping, going outside, and going to hospital. The data of the earner women were compared with those of a control group who were not involved in any kind of earning pursuit. The study reveals that the level of participation of women in the decision-making process from various household perspectives was hardly satisfactory. Majority of the study participants could not get chance to put their decisions on the family matters selected for the study. The findings further show that women’s participation in Self Help Group activities and/or involvement as wage labourers play an effective mechanism to enhance women’s decision-making capacity within family. It is also found that age, education, family type, and earning opportunity are significantly associated with the level of participation in the decision-making process.

INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS MOVEMENT: HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Authors: Orekhovsky V.
Published: January 2023

The article describes the process of formation of the International Movement of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, and defines the limits of authority of the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the Red Cross Society of Ukraine. On the basis of the study of international and Ukrainian normative legal acts, the main forms of cooperation of our state with the specified international movement in the conditions of the military conflict in the east of Ukraine are determined. Particular attention is paid to the International Committee of the Red Cross, which provides financial, material, psychological and educational assistance to both the population and the bodies of state executive power and local self-government bodies of Ukraine.The importance of the need to provide assistance to the wounded was realized already at the early stages of the development of human civilization. The article examines the history of the emergence and development of international humanitarian law («laws and customs of war»). However, the author notes that decisive steps were taken here precisely in the 19th century, as the rapid progress in the development of weapons and military art led to a sharp increase in the number of victims of hostilities. In this connection, considerable attention is paid to the figure of Swiss businessman and public figure Henri Dunant. The article notes that it was the activity of the latter that became the basis for the adoption of the famous Geneva Convention (1864) «On the Improvement of the Fate of Wounded and Sick Soldiers in Land War».Based on the conceptual achievements of modern historiography and using a wide range of diverse sources, the author has analyzed historical background of the Ukrainian Red Cross movement, its ideological principles of operation and main directions of development.

First record of Pharyngodon travassosi (Nematoda, Pharyngodonidae) in Teius teyou (Squamata, Teiidae) in the Monte Desert, Argentina

We analyzed the gastrointestinal contents of five male specimens of Teius teyou from the Encón locality, San Juan, Argentina to contribute to the understanding of parasites in Teiidae lizards in Argentina. A total of 78 nematodes were found and assigned to the species of Pharyngodon travassosi, with a prevalence of 100 % and mean intensity of 15.6. The diagnostic characteristics of these male Nematodes were: caudal alae enveloping a posterior postcloacal pair of pedunculate papillae, tail filament equal in length to bursa, smooth tail, and eggs with truncated ends. This is the first record of this nematode species for Argentina and the first report of this parasite–host interaction.

First-principle study of phonon, elastic and thermodynamic properties of HfSi2 under high pressure
Authors: Sun Jin-Fang , Han Yu-Long , Yao Xing-Xing
Published: January 2023

Based on density functional theory and Debye quasi-harmonic approximation, the effects of high pressure on the phonon, electronic, elastic, and thermodynamic properties of the orthogonal phase HfSi2 have been calculated. The calculated results show that when the pressure is within the pressure range of 0 GPa to 50 GPa, HfSi2 is dynamically stable, and there is no virtual frequency on the phonon spectrum, but when the pressure is greater than 70 GPa, virtual frequencies appear near the phonon spectrum X, A structural phase change occurred. We predict that the band structure of HfSi2 is metallic. As the pressure increases, the elastic constant Cij increases and conforms to the Born criterion. It is mechanically stable in a certain pressure range. At the same time, B, E, G, and B/G all increase with the increase of pressure. This shows that changing the pressure appropriately can change the ductility and toughness of the material. The Debye temperature and sound velocity increase linearly with the increase of pressure, so the elasticity, hardness, melting point, and specific heat of the material can be improved by pressure.

The thermodynamic and elastic theory of B2 substitutional alloy AB and B2 interstitial alloy AB under temperature and pressure are derived by the statistical moment method. In the case of zero concentration of substitutional atoms B and interstitial atoms B, we obtain the thermodynamic and elastic theory of main metal A with simple cubic structure. Our numerical calculations according to the model of interstitial alloy for B2-Fe99Si1 and the model of substitutional alloy for B2-Fe50Si50 in the temperature interval from zero to 1500 K and the pressure interval from zero to 160 GPa are in relatively good with experiments and other calculations.
Ethnic Maps as a Politically Sensitive Issue
Authors: Jordan Peter
Published: January 2023

Ethnic maps have regained importance and are again frequently published, due to an increase in ethnic consciousness, many ethnic conflicts and the attempts of young states particularly in eastern Europe to present themselves as nation states by ethnic maps. Questions of their methodology, of how suitable individual ethno-cartographic methods are to depict certain ethnic structures and whether they are applied correctly or not are therefore on the agenda of cartography as a formal science. This paper investigates the suitability of the main ethno-cartographic methods (areal method, dot spread method, diagram method) to render certain ethnic structures.

Published: January 2023

Patients with chronic diseases have diminished quality of life; they need immediate intervention and various effective strategies to cope with their disease. The main purpose of this integrative review is to highlight the effect of the status of QoL on patients with chronic diseases in light of previous studies. Studies published in the years 2010 - 2022 were evaluated. International electronic databases such as Ovid MEDLINE, PuMed, Ovid OLDMEDLINE, Embase Classic + EMBASE (Ovid), The Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), The Cochrane Library (Wiley) and CINAHL Plus (EBSCO) were explored to find articles written in English-language using relevant keywords. All quantitative research studies which focused on the specific topic have been searched as well.: In this paper, 70 articles were searched. After checking for duplicates, 40 papers were left for evaluation of titles and abstracts. This left 40 articles for reading of full texts. Of these, 10 papers did not meet the aim. The remaining 30 articles were read thoroughly to appraise them according to the quality criteria. Twelve articles met the inclusion criteria. Hence, twelve studies were included in the present review. QoL is reduced in patients with chronic diseases. Saudi Arabia is still grappling with a good financing health structure as the majority of the participants lacked any form of medical insurance and were paying out‑of‑pocket at the point of service. Nurses and other healthcare providers should work to provide effective strategies for the purpose of increasing the level of QoL among patients with chronic diseases in Saudi Arabia and all over the world.

Cultivation of plants by utilizing a small area can be developed, especially during a pandemic, among others, by using a hydroponic system. Vegetable yields (pakcoy, lettuce) do not always have good quality due to pest attacks, including in the hydroponic system, resulting in a decrease in both quantity and quality, which affects the income and turnover of this micro-enterprise (UMKM). The objectives of this service are 1) provide knowledge and skills in making biopesticides based on refugia plants or organic pesticides (“pestisida nabati”) in order to improve the quality and quantity of production, and 2) The practice of “pestisida nabati” application for hydroponic cultivation. Service activities are carried out with the following methods: providing material and discussion, making vegetable pesticides/biopesticides, and applying “pestisida nabati”  in hydroponic cultivation in Micro Business Groups (UMKM "Ini Hydroponics." Accordingly, 12 participants in the training for making biopesticides and their application were practitioners, partners, and students interested in developing hydroponics. The training on making biopesticides with the essential ingredients of mischievous (Cosmos caudatus) and neem leaves (Azadirachta indica) has resulted in a solution of vegetable pesticides ready to be applied in hydroponic cultivation. The spraying application is carried out on the first day after the biopesticide is made and a week later. Based on observations of the quality of lettuce harvested a week after spraying, the product obtained showed a lower pest attack than before.

Estudios sobre la simulación de la realidad desde un componente estratégico y ficcional.
Authors: Grande-López Víctor
Published: January 2023

Una simulación de la realidad puede ilustrar e ilusionar pero no debe de despistar, ya que por muy espectaculares, accesibles o realistas que se presenten esos mundos de posibilidades, no hay que olvidarse de su construcción ficcional. El objetivo principal de este estudio, es analizar estrategias que a veces pasan desapercibidas en la simulación de la realidad: desde la intencionalidad del creador, la dependencia de un mal uso o la influencia que puede tener el diseño del avatar para la propia persona.

Se hace referencia al procedimiento metodológico utilizado para un filme desde las teorías sobre la narra­tiva fílmica, la semiótica del relato (Sulbarán Piñeiro, 2016) y la teoría de la hiperrealidad (Baudrillard, 1984) debido a que cuanto más está avanzando la tecnología más distancia se está creado con respecto a la realidad. Este estudio está dirigido a estudiantes adolescentes de edades comprendidas entre 12 y 18 años. Y adquirir, a través de la alfabetización digital, aprendizajes ele­mentales en relaciones con conceptos, apren­dizajes superiores convergentes referentes en generar ideas, análisis y síntesis.
Chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell therapy in multiple myeloma: A comprehensive review of current data and implications for clinical practice
Authors: Parikh Rujul H. , Lonial Sagar
Published: January 2023

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy defined by the clonal proliferation of transformed plasma cells. Despite tremendous advances in the treatment paradigm of MM, a cure remains elusive for most patients. Although long‐term disease control can be achieved in a very large number of patients, the acquisition of tumor resistance leads to disease relapse, especially in patients with triple‐class refractory MM (defined as resistance to immunomodulatory agents, proteosome inhibitors, and monoclonal antibodies). There is an unmet need for effective treatment options in these patients. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapy is a novel approach that has demonstrated promising efficacy in the treatment of relapsed, refractory MM (RRMM). These genetically modified cellular therapies have demonstrated deep and durable remissions in other B‐cell malignancies, and current efforts aim to achieve similar results in patients with RRMM. Early studies have demonstrated remarkable response rates with CAR T‐cell therapy in RRMM; however, durable responses with CAR T‐cell therapies in myeloma have yet to be realized. In this comprehensive review, the authors describe the development of CAR T‐cell therapies in myeloma, the outcomes of notable clinical trials, the toxicities and limitations of CAR T‐cell therapies, and the strategies to overcome therapeutic challenges of CAR T cells in the hope of achieving a cure for multiple myeloma.

T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia protein 1 (TAL1) is one of the most frequently deregulated oncogenes in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Its deregulation can occur through diverse cis-alterations, including SIL-TAL1 microdeletions, translocations with T-cell Receptor loci, and more recently described upstream intergenic non-coding mutations. These mutations consist of recurrent focal microinsertions that create an oncogenic neo-enhancer accompanied by activating epigenetic marks. This observation laid the groundwork for an innovative paradigm concerning the activation of proto-oncogenes via genomic alterations of non-coding intergenic regions. However, for the majority of T-ALL expressing TAL1 (TAL1+), the deregulation mechanism remains 'unresolved'. We took advantage of H3K27ac and H3K4me3 chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing data of eight cases of T-ALL, including five TAL1+ cases. We identified a putative novel oncogenic neo-enhancer downstream of TAL1 in an unresolved monoallelic TAL1+ case. A rare but recurrent somatic heterozygous microinsertion within this region creates a de novo binding site for MYB transcription factor. Here we demonstrate that this mutation leads to increased enhancer activity, gain of active epigenetic marks, and TAL1 activation via recruitment of MYB. These results highlight the diversity of non-coding mutations that can drive oncogene activation.

Shallow tube wells (STW) are widely operated in Bangladesh to draw groundwater for irrigating the crop field. About 65% of irrigated area is covered by more than 1.3 million STW. However, farmers are facing difficulties in starting STW due to priming problem. Therefore, this study was undertaken to design and develop a check valve (CqV)/non-return valve to overcome the priming problem as well as reduce the drudgery of farmers while starting STW. The check valve was designed based on the working principles of hand tubewell operating system. Considering the tubewell size of 100 mm, check valve having three diameters of 125 mm, 150 mm, and 175 mm for two-valve fitting lengths of 150 mm and 225 mm based on the flange or thread joint were fabricated using locally available material at Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) research workshop. Check valves were tested at the field level in different locations of Bangladesh. The results revealed that the field performance of check valve overcame the priming problem, made easy starting and reduced the drudgery of farmers. The best performance was found when the diameter of the cheque valve was at least 50 mm over the size of tube well and the minimum length was 150 mm. The installation of check valve could not create any adverse effects on tube well discharge and engine revolution per minute (RPM). It could successfully reduce the starting time and facilitate the easy use of plastic pipe/ polythene pipe, which reduces the water conveyance loss and pumping hours.

Effects of Feeding Rate on Growth and Production of Stinging Catfish, Heteropneustes Fossilis (Bloch 1974) In Cage Monoculture System
Authors: Nahar N , Hossain MI , Uddin MJ , Rahman ML
Published: January 2023

The present study evaluated the potentiality of cage culture of stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis) under different feeding regimes. Fish experiments were consists of three treatments (T1, T2 and T3), each with three replicates, and lasted for 90 days. The stocking density was 300 fry (~1.5 g) per cage. Fish were given commercial floating feed (28% crude protein) twice daily (in the morning and evening) at 5% (T1), 7% (T2) and 9% (T3) of body weight. Water quality parameters were monitored fortnightly. Mean values of water quality showed no significant difference among the treatments. Survival of stinging catfish was comparatively higher with T2 (83.1%) compared to T1 (81.6%) and T3 (79.3%). The specific growth rate was significantly higher in fish reared underT2 treatment than T1 and T3, corresponding to 1.91, 1.85 and 1.87% bwd-1, respectively. The net yield was also highest with T2 (1.74 kg) than those with T1 (1.57 kg) and T3 (1.60 kg). These data together with cost-benefit analysis among three treatments suggests that 7% feeding rate positively influence growth and production offish. Therefore, a daily feeding at 7% of body weight can be suitable for culturing stinging catfish in cages.
