Authors: Hakh Irene Gwindoline , Sianipar Desi
Published: April 2024

Abstract. Since 2019, a premarital counseling program, as a form of Christian religious education at the Evangelical Christian Church in Timor (GMIT), has been implemented, specifically to provide an understanding of reproduction health and the first thousand days of life regarding stunting. This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of premarital counseling in anticipating stunting at GMIT Sion Kuli, Rote Ndao Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). The research method used is a qualitative method. The research result showed that the premarital counseling program has not been effective in anticipating stunting because it has not focused on anticipating stunting. Thus, it can be concluded that the church has not paid serious attention to anticipate the danger of stunting.Abstrak. Sejak tahun 2019, program bimbingan pranikah, sebagai salah satu bentuk Pendidikan Agama Kristen di Gereja Masehi Injili di Timor (GMIT) telah dilaksanakan, khususnya untuk memberikan pemahaman tentang kesehatan reproduksi dan periode seribu hari pertama kehidupan yang menyangkut stunting. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas bimbingan pranikah dalam mengantisipasi stunting di GMIT Sion Kuli Kabupaten Rote Ndao, Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa program bimbingan pranikah belum efektif dalam mengantisipasi stunting karena belum berfokus pada antisipasi stunting. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa gereja belum memberikan perhatian serius dalam antisipasi bahaya stunting.
Untangling Paradox: A Humanitarian Perspective on Nuclear Weapons Trade in Non-Proliferation Ambition
Authors: Ferdianty Shavina Putri , Azaria Davilla Prawidya
Published: April 2024

The emerging issue of the legality of nuclear weapons trade by the state remains unclear as the use of nuclear weapons itself. Nuclear weapons are perceived either as a threat to human lives or a potential guarding system for a state. Contrary for the latter, states have the enormous ambition to establish non-proliferation of nuclear weapons to justify its use. Trade practice is prone to be bent as a tool to develop nuclear weapons programs. This research is a normative legal research that uses statutory and conceptual approaches. By examining both legal instruments and fundamental principles of humanitarian law are able to elucidate the paradox of non-proliferation and nuclear weapons trade conducted by states. Humanitarian principles are an adequate fundamental basis to examine the legal uncertainty of nuclear weapons use. Jus ad bellum defined that nuclear weapons violate proportionality and precautionary principles. The study argues for a particular legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons as a subject to international trade regime. Furthermore, the International Atomic Energy Agency as an authorized institution must be strengthened in order to maintain the peaceful use of nuclear energy as well as programs developed by states.

The operational environment of commercial fishing in the North is changing due to climate change and other environmental and socio-economic drivers. In this study, we combine the practitioner knowledge of commercial fishers operating on the subarctic Lake Inari in northern Finland with long-term meteorological and hydrological observations from the region. Our interviews show that fishers have adopted various short-term strategies to cope with difficult weather conditions, among them flexibility in timing and location of fishing, as well as in catch species and gear. The livelihood is diversified both within and outside fishing to enhance the profitability. Responses of fishers to future uncertainties were varied and based on individual rather than community behavior. Four distinct longer-term adaptation strategies utilized by fishers differ in terms of the catch species, investments, and risk levels. Finally, we discuss the sustainability of the identified adaptation strategies, and the governance aspects of the livelihood.

Spectrophotometric Determination of Hydroxycinnamic Acids in Herbal Drugs. Part 2. Determination of Hydroxycinnamic Acids in the Presence of Polyphenolic Compounds (Review)
Authors: Kompantseva E. V. , Saushkina A. S. , Ayrapetova A. Yu.
Published: April 2024

INTRODUCTION. Polyphenolic compounds of various classes have pronounced absorption bands overlapping in almost the same ultraviolet region. This superposition of bands complicates the quantification of total hydroxycinnamic acids in herbal drugs by direct spectrophotometry without additional sample preparation.

AIM. This study aimed to establish the possibility of quantifying hydroxycinnamic acids in herbal drugs by spectrophotometry in the presence of other polyphenolic compounds.

DISCUSSION.  This  review  analyses  publications   on   analytical   procedures   for the spectrophotometric quantification of hydroxycinnamic acids that are based on the preliminary separation or chemical modification of polyphenolic compounds (combining the use of spectrophotometry, chromatography, extraction, Arnow’s reagent, etc.). The described sample preparation can help to resolve absorption bands in the spectra of polyphenolic compounds. The results of assessing the characteristic parameters of these analytical procedures (selectivity, sensitivity, labour intensity, etc.) can serve as a basis for searching novel approaches to the quantitative determination of hydroxycinnamic acids in plants.

CONCLUSIONS. To determine the content of hydroxycinnamic acids in mixtures of polyphenolic compounds, analysts may use special sample preparation (combining spectrophotometry with chromatography and extraction) or chemical modification of the initial compounds. The acquired spectra could benefit from specific mathematical processing (derivative photometry and Vierordt’s method). However, even with the abovementioned approaches, it may not always be possible to increase the selectivity of an analytical procedure. Therefore, there is a need to further improve existing analytical procedures for the quantification of hydroxycinnamic acids and develop new ones.
Assessment and Control of Organic Impurities in Medicinal Products: A Review
Authors: Matveeva O. A. , Kovaleva E. L. , Ponomarenko A. A.
Published: April 2024

INTRODUCTION. The determination of impurities is a key requirement for the quality assessment of medicines because impurities can significantly impact the quality and therapeutic effectiveness. Pharmacopoeias are the most  important  scientific and methodological guidelines for manufacturers developing medicinal product specifications and regulators assessing these specifications as part of registration dossiers. Therefore, it is essential to harmonise national and international approaches to impurities.

AIM. This study aimed to analyse and summarise pharmacopoeial requirements for and methodological approaches to the control, evaluation, and identification of organic impurities in medicines.

DISCUSSION. The authors compared requirements for the control of organic impurities in small-molecule medicines set forth in national and international pharmacopoeias and guidelines of the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Medicinal Products for Medical Use (ICH) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). This comparison highlighted the differences in current approaches that require further harmonisation of the existing regulatory documentation. Additionally, this study analysed the popularity, advantages, and disadvantages of different options for determining impurities in two-component combination products (i.e. identified and/or unidentified impurities in one or each of the active substances). The analysis demonstrated the need to control nitrosamines and genotoxic impurities and to use selective and highly sensitive chromatographic methods.

CONCLUSIONS. When drafting  pharmacopoeial  monographs  for  medicinal products, experts should consider the general approach set forth in the EAEU pharmacopoeia and regulations and in the ICH Q3B guideline. This approach recommends that process-related impurities of active substances should not be controlled at the medicinal product level. Therefore, pharmacopoeial monographs for active substances should distinguish degradation products from process-related impurities. Impurities should be determined for each active substance to ensure the quality and safety of fixed combination medicinal products. Priorities for improving the methodological approach to the control of organic impurities include using reference standards for impurities and acknowledging the necessity of impurity quantification.

Smart-Watches Assisted Sugar Level Monitoring with Different Activities and Nutrition based on Machine Learning Approaches
Authors:   Department of Computer System Engineering, Dawood University of Engineering and Technology, Pakistan, Memon Sajida
Published: April 2024

These days, sugar glucose monitoring is very important for both diabetic and non-diabetic patients while they are eating and doing different activities in practice. There are different ways to monitor body glucose levels such as blood-based glucose monitoring and smart watches-based glucose monitoring. However, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an emerging non-invasive method for different subjects (e.g., patients and customers). However, smartwatches have limitations. In this paper, we present a new smartwatch framework that monitors the body's glucose level with new features such as nutrition, and activities. We present the modified dataset with an additional feature such as sugar glucose level with different activities (e.g., running, sitting, sleeping, and walking) while eating different nutrition in different time intervals. We present empirical machine learning such as an activity glucose monitoring algorithm (ASA) which executes all datasets with more optimal results. Simulation results show that our proposed framework is more optimal and shows glucose monitoring with different activities with more features as compared to existing smartwatches and obtained an accuracy of 78% as compared to existing machine learning methods.

The existing sustainable supplier selection methods are not sufficient to deal with the problem of sustainable food supplier selection with the interaction of criteria under uncertainty. Therefore, this paper proposes a method of sustainable food supplier selection based on an extended decision model. Firstly, a processing method for supplier evaluation information is constructed using the Pythagorean fuzzy set has the function of processing complex uncertain information. Secondly, to obtain the objective weights of decision experts, a Pythagorean fuzzy weighted distance measure model is constructed, and an expert information fusion method based on a weighted power mean operator is proposed to construct the group decision matrix. Then, the decision experiment and evaluation experiment methods are integrated with the traditional MARCOS method, to construct a sustainable food supplier selection method considering the interaction of factors. This method can effectively deal with the complicated and uncertain problem of sustainable food supplier selection with interactive factors. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified by an example of sustainable food supplier selection. In addition, parameter sensitivity analysis and multi-method comparative analysis verified the rationality of the proposed selection method for sustainable food supplier selection.

Authors: Alsudani Saif , Nasrawi Hussein , Shattawi Muntadher , Ghazikhani Adel
Published: April 2024

Email security is paramount in today's digital landscape, as the proliferation of spam emails poses a significant threat to individuals and organizations alike. To combat this menace, this study introduces a novel approach that marries the power of Crow Search Optimization (CSO) with a Feedforward Neural Network (FFNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) architecture to bolster spam detection. The proposed Crow-Optimized FFNN with LSTM (C-FFNN-LSTM) leverages CSO to fine-tune the neural network's parameters, optimizing its ability to distinguish between legitimate emails and spam. The CSO algorithm mimics the collaborative behavior of crows, thereby enhancing the model's convergence and robustness. Experimental results showcase the effectiveness of the C-FFNN-LSTM approach, achieving remarkable accuracy rates and reducing false positives. This innovation not only enhances email security but also offers a promising avenue for refining spam detection algorithms across various domains. In an era of ever-evolving cyber threats, the C-FFNN-LSTM framework stands as a beacon of improved email security, safeguarding digital communication channels.

In our methodology, we attained an outstanding accuracy level of 99.1% during the testing phase.

From ‘living death’ to ‘becoming-self’: caring for dementia beyond the human
Authors: Mentzou Aikaterini , Ross Josephine , ellis maggie , Harrison Mia
Published: April 2024

This essay provides a critical overview of historical and contemporary conceptualisations of selfhood in dementia. We explore the intersections of psychological and sociological research, as well as care practices, in dementia scholarship and how these have evolved in the years leading to and proceeding the start of the 21st century. Focusing on historical discourses of dementia and the metaphor of dementia as a ‘living death’, this essay maps the development of prominent conceptualisations of dementia in western cultures, from their roots in Cartesian philosophy to modernist values and existential anxieties. We firstly explore historical notions of selfhood in people living with dementia and the presumed erosion of the self that culminates in a so-called living death. Then, we discuss the radical shift in attitudes that arose around the start of the 21st century towards perseverance of selfhood in dementia and person-centred care. We finally consider whether our current understanding of selfhood in dementia could benefit from a posthuman approach, which requires a radical shift towards a more relational, multiple, and ultimately affirmative ways of caring for dementia.
Mindreading is an Asynchronous Joint Activity: The MAJA Account of Theory of Mind performance, and individual differences.
Authors: Apperly Ian , Devine Rory Thomas , Butterfill Stephen
Published: April 2024

Research on mindreading has been dominated by questions about concepts and structures, but has neglected mindreading performance. We argue that mindreading performance requires generating and selecting mental states that are plausible and appropriate. Mindreading is plausible and appropriate if it can be recognised as such by other people, and so is essentially a joint activity. It is an asynchronous joint activity because, once learned, it can be performed alone. We explain a swath of findings about individual differences in mindreading that are otherwise puzzling, and provide a framework for developing interpretable and psychometrically robust measures to study this variation.
Effects of sensory reactivity and haptic interaction on children’s anthropomorphism of a haptic robot
Authors: Nozawa Hikaru , Kato Masaharu
Published: April 2024

Social touch is vital for developing stable attachments and social skills, and haptic robots could provide children with opportunities to develop those attachments and skills. However, haptic robots are not guaranteed to be suitable for every child, and individual differences exist in accepting these robots. In this study, we proposed that screening children’s sensory reactivity can predict the suitable and challenging attributes for accepting these robots. Additionally, we investigated how sensory reactivity influences the tendency to anthropomorphize a haptic robot, as anthropomorphizing a robot is considered an indicator of accepting the robot based on existing literature. Sixty-seven preschool children aged 5-6 years participated in the study. The results showed that the initial anthropomorphic tendency toward the robot was more likely to decrease with increasing atypicality in sensory reactivity, and haptic interaction with the robot tended to promote anthropomorphic tendency. A detailed analysis focusing on children’s sensory insensitivity revealed the polarized results: those actively seeking sensory information (i.e., sensory seeking) showed a lower anthropomorphic tendency toward the robot, whereas those who were passive (i.e., low registration) showed a higher anthropomorphic tendency. In addition, haptic interaction with the robot mitigated the lower anthropomorphic tendency observed in sensory seekers. Finally, we found that the degree of anthropomorphizing the robot influenced positively the physiological arousal level. These results indicate that children with atypical sensory reactivity may accept robots through haptic interaction. Future robots must be designed to interact in ways tailored to each child’s sensory reactivity to develop stable attachment and social skills.
Effects of age and hearing loss on speech emotion discrimination

Published: April 2024

Better communication with older people requires not only improving speech intelligibility but also understanding how well emotions can be conveyed and the effect of age and hearing loss (HL) on emotion perception. In this paper, emotion discrimination experiments were conducted using a vocal morphing method and an HL simulator in young normal hearing (YNH) and older participants. Speech sounds were morphed to represent intermediate emotions between all combinations of happiness, sadness, and anger. Discrimination performance was compared when the YNH listened to normal sounds, when the same YNH listened to HL simulated sounds, and when older people listened to the same normal sounds. The results showed that there was no significant difference between discrimination with and without HL simulation, suggesting that peripheral HL may not affect emotion perception. The discrimination performance of the older participants was significantly worse only for the anger-happiness pair than for the other emotion pairs and for the YNH. It was also found that the difficulty increases with age, not just with hearing level.
Allostasis Machines as Continuous Cognitive Modeling
Authors: Alicea Bradly
Published: April 2024

Naturalistic cognition in human performance is defined by dynamical responses to stimuli. Allostasis Machines (AMs) are characterized by an internal model and corresponding output trajectory characterizing a generalized response to stresses and sudden changes. The effects of the environment on the internal model are collectively known as perturbations, with a generalized response analogous to allostatic load. AMs consist of a sensory input, an internal model, a source of environmental perturbation, and an dynamical output that represents the response to perturbation over time. These dynamical output trajectories characterize this response either by recovering from perturbation (well-matched, ergodic), or drifting to a new stable state (accommodative, non-ergodic). We construct a quantitative model of AMs and consider their behaviors in a variety of scenarios, including isolated, serial, and new state perturbations. Control-theoretic strategies and multi-scale information processing can also be employed to provide AM models with more sophisticated feedback and control mechanisms. Understanding the difference between well-matched responses (stably matching environmental states) and allostatic drift (hysteretic responses to perturbation) clarifies how nonlinear responses produce continuous stability.
Multinomial Models of the Repetition-Based Truth Effect: Disentangling Processing Fluency and Knowledge
Authors: Schmidt Oliver , Heck Daniel W.
Published: April 2024

The repetition-based truth effect refers to the phenomenon that repeated statements are more likely judged as ‘true’ than new statements. Fazio et al. (2015) developed two multinomial processing tree (MPT) models to account for truth judgments. The knowledge-conditional model assumes that repetition leads to a shift in response bias conditional on a lack of knowledge. In contrast, the fluency-conditional model assumes that knowledge is used only when not relying on processing fluency, which results in a reduced discrimination ability. We study the formal properties of the competing models using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and highlight important auxiliary assumptions and identifiability constraints. In three experiments, we extended the classic truth-effect paradigm to validate and test different model versions by manipulating the base rate of true statements in the judgment phase. The results supported the reflection of the repetition-based truth effect as a reduced discrimination ability. However, assuming different knowledge parameters for true and false statements improved also allows conceptualization of the repetition-based truth effect as a response bias.
Information prioritization underpins the flexible expression of social preferences under time constraints.
Authors: Teoh Yi Yang , Cho Hyuna , Hutcherson Cendri
Published: April 2024

While recent research shows how time constraints exacerbate the influence of contextual (dis)incentives on information prioritization and subsequent choice during prosocial decision-making, the proposed model is silent on how pervasive individual differences in dispositional social preferences might interact with these contextual factors to shape these processes. To bridge this gap, we demonstrated in a preregistered study (N = 200 adults from the United States and Canada; Prolific Academic) that people calibrate their information priorities based on both their dispositional social preferences and contextual (dis)incentives, and that time constraints further exacerbated information prioritization that aligned with their own social preferences, in addition to information incentivized by the broader social context. Furthermore, these information priorities subsequently biased prosocial choices, extremifying people’s selfish/prosocial choice patterns under time constraints. These findings suggest that flexible information prioritization underpins people’s capacity to navigate different social interactions while balancing their own preferences against external incentives and constraints.
Hazel Kyrk and the rise of empirical research in interwar America
Authors: Alberti Manfredi , Asso Pier Francesco
Published: April 2024

Recent studies have revalued Hazel Kyrk for her original works on consumption and the critique of neoclassical demand theory. Kyrk’s A Theory of Consumption (1923), opened up new perspectives for understanding the nature of consumption and revalued home economics as a central part of the economist agenda, taking distance from the first generation of home economists.This paper focuses on Kyrk’s post-1923 scientific production and professional activities. Our main purpose is to show her contributions to the quantitative foundations of consumption together with her attempt to feed contemporary research on consumers’ behaviour with pragmatism, policy advice and field knowledge. We selected specific issues: the education of consumers through information and a strategy of “critical consumption”; the analysis of strategic industries; the well-being of American families; the importance of “invisible” objects (non-market activities) and their statistical processing.

Published: April 2024

Amidst the Ukrainian displacement crisis, private hosting of refugees in Europe has surged, yet its impact on integration remains understudied. This research investigates the effects of private hosting on Ukrainian refugee integration in Germany. Utilizing data from one of the largest non-profit matching platforms for private refugee accommodation, we compare multidimensional integration outcomes of refugees matched with private hosts with observably similar refugees who applied for private hosting but were not matched. Our findings indicate a significant improvement in the social, psychological, and navigational integration of refugees hosted privately, with no discernible effects on linguistic, economic, and political integration. This study provides causal evidence on the effectiveness of private hosting in improving refugee integration, highlighting its potential to complement traditional public asylum reception and housing systems and to leverage civil society engagement for refugee integration during humanitarian crises.

Published: April 2024

Companies in the D222 sector in Indonesia have the potential to dominate the global market. This study aims to explore how the value of companies in this sector is shaped by financing policies, such as leverage, and their ability to generate profits, namely profitability. Additionally, the research investigates the influence of company size on firm value. The urgency of this research is highlighted by the crucial role of audit performance in driving strategic efforts by companies to enhance their value. Sampled from the years 2020-2022 and drawn from companies listed on the stock exchange, the population consists of 26 companies. Purposive sampling was employed to select a sample of 19 companies in the D222 sector. The data was analyzed using multiple regression in SPSS version 27. The findings suggest that financing policies, specifically leverage, do not significantly impact firm value, whereas the ability to generate profits, namely profitability, has a significant positive effect on firm value. Company size does not seem to affect the increase in firm value. However, the role of Audit Quality as a moderator yields varying results. In terms of the relationship between financing policies, namely leverage, and firm value, Audit Quality does not appear to strengthen it. Similar results are found concerning the relationship between the ability to generate profits, namely profitability, and firm value. However, Audit Quality seems to enhance the relationship between Company Size and Firm Value. These findings provide valuable insights into the interplay of these factors within the processed food industry in Indonesia, aiming for dominance in the global market.

Published: April 2024

Second language acquisition (SLA) has continuously evolved by mainly modelling after first language acquisition, reflecting behavioural, cognitive, social, and affective shifts. Language teaching practices have also been shaped throughout the decades. Yet, the SLA-driven divide between conscious and unconscious processes still prevails. Concomitantly, the title instructed second language acquisition, however much interest it arouses, seems at first sight paradoxical through the dominant epistemological prism.

Мақалада əртүрлі елдердегі дамудың жалпы заңдылықтарының болуын негіздейтін, жаһандану үдерістерін дамытушы жағдайындағы құқықтық мемлекет пен азаматтық қоғам институттарының өзара əрекеттестігі мен ықпалдасу мəселелері қарастырылған. Билiк пен азаматтық қоғам арасындағы қатынастар көпшiлiк келiсiм негiзiнде қалыптасады, ал өзара əрекеттесу ымыраға қол жеткiзуге бағытталады. Демократиялық мемлекеттiң азаматтары дербес бостандық құқығын пайдаланады, бiрақ сонымен бiр уақытта олар басқа мемлекеттiк институттармен бiрге болашақты құру жауапкершілігiн бөлiседi. Мақалада өз өмірін өз бетімен қалыптастыратын, саяси жəне əлеуметтік реформаларға белсенді атсалысатын тұлғаның қалыптасуына ықпал етуші азаматтық қоғам мен құқықтық мемлекеттің өзара əрекеттестік жəне ықпал шектерін белгілеу мəселелері ашылған. Бұл мəселені қарастыру қажеттілігі азаматтық қоғам мен құқықтық мемлекеттің өзара ықпалының жəне өзара əрекеттестігінің шекараларын ғылыми-теориялық жəне ғылыми-тəжірибелік тұрғыдан қарау болыптабылады. Жаһандану үрдістерін зерттеу мемлекет жəне құқық теориясының жалпы ғылыми жəне жеке ғылыми əдістерін, арнайы құқықтық əдістерді, функционалдық-құқықтық, тарихи-құқықтық,  салыстырмалы-құқықтық, тұжырымдамалық əдістерді пайдалану арқылы жүзеге асырылады. Зерттеу нəтижесінде мемлекет пен азаматтық қоғам өкілдерінің ашық диалогына, азаматтық қоғам институттары мен құқықтық мемлекеттің белсенділігіне, олардың өзара əрекеттесуінің мақсаттары мен міндеттерін анықтауға қатысты қорытындылар жасалған. Бүгінгі күні Қазақстандағы азаматтық қоғам институттары үшін өзін-өзі ұйымдастыру, қоғамдық бақылаудың механизмдерін қалыптастыру жəне дамыту, билік органдарымен мазмұнды өзара əрекет ету диалогын жүзеге асыру қажет.

Право на обязательную долю в наследстве: сравнительно-правовой анализ
Authors: Нукушева А.А.
Published: April 2024

Принцип свободы завещания является основополагающим для наследственного права как Республики Казахстан, Российской Федерации, так и некоторых других стран. В соответствии с этим принципом любой гражданин может завещать все свое имущество лицам как входящим, так и не входящим в круг наследников по закону, то есть лицам, не являющимся его родственниками. Для обеспечения зависимого от наследодателя нетрудоспособного родственника,  которого тот не отметил в завещании, существует обязательная доля в наследстве. Она служит одним из механизмов  правовой защиты, обеспечивая гарантированную долю наследственного имущества. Актуальность темы исследования  заключается в том, что право на обязательную долю в наследстве является единственным ограничением свободы  завещания и применяется только в случае, если наследодателем изготовлено завещание на все его имущество, но  наследник, имеющий право на обязательную долю, в нем не указан. Такое ограничение принципа свободы завещания  возникает только как мера защиты наследника, неспособного самостоятельно обеспечить себя средствами к  существованию. Автором изучены понятие, размер и порядок предоставления обязательной доли в наследстве как в  законодательстве Казахстана, так и в некоторых других странах, а также проблемы, возникающие при  правоприменении норм, регулирующих исследуемые правоотношения.
