Cordillera Chongón-Colonche: Evaluando la pérdida forestal y la necesidad de un nuevo estatus de conservación
Authors: Barros-Diaz Cristian
Published: March 2024

La cordillera Chongón Colonche (CCHC) forma parte del punto caliente de biodiversidad Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena debido a la alta concentración de especies endémicas. Presentando bosques húmedos de garúa en la parte alta y bosques secos en las partes bajas. Este estudio cuantifica la dinámica de la cobertura arbórea en la cordillera entre 2000 y finales del 2022, un enclave vital del bosque seco tropical (BST) en Ecuador. Mediante la aplicación del conjunto de datos de alta resolución de Global Forest Watch de Hansen, se determinó que la CCHC a principios del 2023 tenía 300 374 ha de cobertura arbórea, y sufrió una pérdida neta de cobertura arbórea de 10 787.20 hectáreas durante el período de estudio, a pesar de un incremento marginal de 825 hectáreas hasta 2012. La pérdida continua de cobertura arbórea en la CCHC representa una amenaza significativa para la biodiversidad, la integridad ecológica del BST y la seguridad hídrica y alimenticia de las comunidades locales. Además, se realizó el mismo análisis para tres Áreas Protegidas Nacionales (Parque Nacional Machalilla, Parque Samanes y Parque Lago) y 10 Bosques Protectores (Bosqueira, Cerro Blanco, Cerro el paraíso, Chongón-Colonche o Colonche, La Prosperina, Loma Alta, Papagayo de Guayaquil, Sancan y Cerro Montecristi, Subcuenca del Río Chongón y Subcuencas de los Ríos Canta-Gallo y Jipijapa) que están dentro de la cordillera, las cuales hasta inicios del 2023 protegían 149 983 ha de cobertura arbórea. Este análisis subraya la urgente necesidad de implementar medidas efectivas de conservación en la CCHC que la puedan promover a una categoría de área protegida nacional y/o Reserva de Biosfera, resaltando la necesidad de aumentar los esfuerzos de investigación y conservación en los BST a nivel regional y en América Latina.
Inclusive Redistribution and Perceptions of Membership: A Cross-National Comparison
Authors: Harell Allison , Banting Keith , Kymlicka Will
Published: March 2024

Immigrants tend to be seen as less deserving of welfare benefits than native-born citizens, but little consensus exists to explain this finding or how to build greater public support for more inclusive policies. Recent work suggests that support for redistribution may be tied to citizens’ perceptions of the ”membership commitment” of immigrants. This study provides the first systematic test of this hypothesis in the comparative setting using an original seven country survey conducted in 2021-2022. The survey explored perceptions of immigrants’ membership commitment in the host society in seven liberal democracies and their effect on public support for the extension of social benefits to immigrants. The study provides the first comparative test of the relationship between perceptions of shared membership and support for inclusive redistribution. It shows that immigrants systematically suffer a ”membership penalty” within host societies across a wide range of states with different citizenship and welfare regimes, with important consequences for welfare state support.
ScholarOne - The Interdependent Relationship between Global Justice and Global Democracy
Authors: Saproza Paul
Published: March 2024

Because they conceive justice as an objective moral obligation, moral
realists assume that the relationship between global justice and global
democracy is hierarchical. However, a moral anti-realist account of this
relationship rejects any objective ordering that would give global
democracy or global justice priority over the other. Indeed, even though
individuals can value one ideal more than the other at a given time,
nothing definitive and objective can be said about the relative
importance of justice and democracy which entirely depends on each
person’s beliefs and desires. Such an account of the relationship
between justice and democracy provides a better explanation of their
empirical interdependence. Finally, it is argued that global democracy
and global justice are best treated as two interdependent issues both
empirically and normatively.
Self-Consciousness Leads to Recognition in Hegel's Phenomenology
Authors: Trinh Khanh
Published: March 2024

The concept of recognition holds significant prominence within
contemporary philosophy. The concept typically refers to the condition
of being acknowledged, wherein one subject assumes the role of the
recognizer and another subject serves as the recognized object. However,
what is the nature of the relationship between the subject and the
object? This paper aims to analyze Hegel’s response to the
aforementioned inquiry within his renowned work, Phenomenology of
Spirit. In this context, the emergence of self-consciousness is
contingent upon the presence of another self-consciousness that is
separate and distinct. Self-consciousness is able to attain a state of
self-assurance and an authentic understanding of one’s own identity by
establishing connections with others. The state of self-consciousness
becomes non-existent when it is detached from external influences, as it
is unable to manifest in isolation. The presence of self-consciousness
necessitates the acknowledgment of the other and vice versa. The
recognition in question is not unidirectional, but rather reciprocal in
nature. In this analysis, the allegorical framework of the lordship and
bondage relationship will be employed to argue that Hegel posits the
impossibility of unequal or one-sided recognition in both the lord and
bondsman positions. This will be achieved by examining the significance
of recognition from both perspectives. Mutual recognition is a
prerequisite for the existence of both entities, as neither can sustain
itself in isolation. The sole solution lies in the reciprocal
recognition between two individuals.

A Preliminary Analysis of the Effects of Perceived Soft Skills on the
Leadership Styles of College Students Abstract Soft skills are important
to leadership and leadership styles; however, there are limited studies
on how perceived soft skills affect the leadership styles of college
students. Therefore, the study assessed the effects of perceived soft
skills on the leadership styles of college students. The data were
collected from a purposive sample of college students in a leadership
training program and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple
regression analysis. The results show that the most dominant leadership
styles were, telling, selling, and delegating. Regarding the selected
soft skills vis-à-vis what participants would do in scenarios, there
were four high combined “most likely” and “likely” responses, 70%
or above for communication: particularly, for active listening, conflict
resolution, writing a letter, and public speaking. For problem-solving,
all five combined “most likely” and “likely” responses, were high,
above 70% for creative skills, research and consult, consensus
solutions, decision-making skills, and critical thinking skills. For
work ethic, there were four high combined “most likely” and “likely”
responses, above 60% for correcting an oversight, doting “is” and
crossing “ts”, doing a task methodically, and completing a task on
time. Additionally, the results of the multiple regression showed that
the problem-solving soft skills, overall, dominated the composite
leadership style. Therefore, problem-solving appears to be a critical
soft skill that affects leadership styles. Keywords: College Students,

Published: March 2024

Penataan ruang yang baik mengurangi risiko bencana tanah longsor sesuai dengan tujuan penataan ruang sebagaimana tertuang dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 26 Tahun 2007 tentang Penataan Ruang yaitu untuk mewujudkan ruang wilayah nasional yang aman, nyaman, produktif dan berkelanjutan. Perwujudan ruang tersebut seharusnya tertuang dalam dokumen-dokumen rencana tata ruang yang terkait dengan keadaan risiko terhadap bencana. Peningkatan aktivitas pembangunan membutuhkan ruang yang semakin besar dan dapat berimplikasi pada perubahan fungsi lahan secara signifikan. Bencana tanah longsor dapat terjadi karena alih fungsi lahan menjadi lahan terbangun. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis nilai pengurangan risiko bencana tanah longsor akibat adanya rencana tata ruang wilayah. Penelitian bersifat kualitatif yaitu menganalisis rencana tata ruang dan kuantitatif yaitu analisis pemetaan risiko bencana. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Indeks bahaya/ ancaman bencana tanah longsor pada skenario eksisting berada pada kelas “bahaya sedang” karena mengalami pegurangan, namun pada skenario RTRW terjadi peningkatan pada kelas “bahaya tinggi” Meningkatknya luasan kelas bahaya longsor terjadi di enam dari delapan Kecamatan di Kota Lubuklinggau. Indeks Kerentanan bencana tanah longsor tidak mengalami perubahan yang signifikan antara skenario eksisting dengan skenario RTRW dimana semua skenario berada pada kelas kerentanan sedang. Indeks kapasitas bencana tanah longsor pada indeks kapasitas daerah berada pada level 2 yang berarti bahwa daerah telah melaksanakan beberapa tindakan pengurangan risiko bencana dengan pencapaian-pencapaian yang masih bersifat sporadis yang disebabkan belum adanya komitmen kelembagaan dan/atau kebijakan sistematis. RTRW Kota Lubuklinggau mengakibatkan kenaikan risiko bencana tanah longsor dengan Nilai Pengurangan Risiko (NPR) < 0 umumnya berada pada penggunaan lahan eksisting hutan alam atau pada kawasan rencana perkebunan. Luas area yang termasuk ke dalam NPR ini adalah sebesar 5.306,53 hektar atau 69,07 % dari luas Kota Lubuklinggau. Sedangkan Nilai Pengurangan Risiko (NPR) = 0 berarti wilayah tersebut tidak mengalami perubahan risiko akibat adanya RTR umumnya berada di penggunaan lahan eksisting sama dengan penggunaan lahan rencana (RTRW) misalnya kawasan Taman Nasional Kerinci Sebelat, hutan lindung Bukit Cogong, hutan produksi terbatas Hulu Tumpah, dan permukiman. Luas area yang termasuk ke dalam NPR ini adalah sebesar 11.334,93 hektar atau 30,93 % dari luas Kota Lubuklinggau. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut disarankan peningkatan kapasitas bencana melalui peningkatan kapasitas daerah dan kapasitas kesiapsiagaan bencana.

TINJAUAN KUALITAS AIR TANAH DI KAMPUS KANDANG LIMUN UNIVERSITAS BENGKULU
Authors: Singkam Abdul Rahman
Published: March 2024

Sebagai lokasi yang terletak bersisian dengan pantai, air tanah di Kampus Kandang Limun Uiversitas Bengkulu (UNIB) dikhawatirkan memiliki kualitas yang rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan kualitas air tanah di 25 Gedung UNIB dari parameter derajat keasaman (ph), total padatan terlarut (TDS) dan jumlah klorida. Pengukuran sampel dilakukan menggunakan alat digital (ph-, TDS-, dan salinometer) sebanyak dua kali mewakili kondisi musim penghujan dan kemarau. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif dengan membandingkan hasil dengan standar kualitas air tanah kategori satu Permen LH no 82 tahun 2001. Hasil analisis menunjukkan tidak ada satupun dari 25 sampel air tanah di lingkungan Kampus Kandang Limun UNIB yang memenuhi baku mutu air tanah kategori satu (I). Seluruh sampel yang dianalisis memiliki nilai klorida di atas 0.6 ppt, batas maksimal klorida untuk air tanah kategori I. Nilai klorida yang terlalu tinggi ini ditemukan konsisten sepanjang tahun, dan signifikan lebih tinggi saat musim hujan (F1,20=7.53, p=0.009). Selain nilai klorida yang terlalu tinggi, 72% sampel juga memiliki TDS di atas baku mutu sepanjang tahun. Nilai pH yang terlalu asam dari standar baku mutu juga ditemukan pada lima (20%) sumber air yang dianalisis. Seluruh parameter yang diukur independen satu sama lain, kecuali nilai pH yang berbanding lurus terhadap TDS (F1,24=12.32, p=0.013) saat musim hujan. Beberapa rekomendasi yang disarankan untuk mengatasi masalah air bersih di UNIB adalah: 1) Membuat sistem pengadaan air terintegrasi dengan fokus memanfaatkan sumber air tanah berklorida dan berTDS rendah yang ditemukan pada penelitian ini; 2) Membuat dan mengoptimalkan kantong penampungan air hujan pada masing-masing gedung; dan 3). Melakukan sistem daur ulang terhadap air yang telah digunakan.

Published: March 2024

Abstract: Loneliness is a negative emotional experience that can stem from a gap between expectations and the reality of social relationships. It is also a predictor of mental health. Loneliness is therefore important to investigate in neurodevelopmental populations with social fragility. This co-registered study involved 48 youths with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), 54 youths with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) and 65 typically developing youths (TD) aged 12-30. State loneliness was assessed with an Ecological Momentary Assessment. Paper-pencil questionnaires assessing attitude toward aloneness, trait loneliness and mental health were completed by the youths and their caregivers. A comparable level of state loneliness between clinical groups and TD were found, with greater loneliness when alone than in a social context. Clinical groups showed a greater intra-individual variability. Both individuals with ASD and 22q11DS revealed a greater affinity toward being alone than TD, but only individuals with ASD reported greater trait loneliness. However, no association was found with state loneliness. Emotional reactivity to loneliness was different between the clinical groups. Self-reported mental health only was associated with loneliness in the clinical groups. These results bring new knowledge on clinical populations with a deepening of the phenomenon of loneliness. This opens new reflections on the clinical care which must be adapted to their individual profile.

Lifelong Learning Review in Contemporary Japan
Authors: Zhao Xuan
Published: March 2024

In the era of the Meiji Restoration, social education for adults in Japan has taken shape to make up for the lack of school education. After World War II, social education in Japan focused on compensation education and vocational training for young and adult women. With the promulgation of the Basic Education Law and the Social Education Law, "social education as the legal right of Japanese" was clarified. Governments were encouraged to develop and operate public social education facilities. From the late 1940s to the mid-1980s, "social education" included adult education activities in addition to primary and secondary schools and higher education institutions. Since the 1960s, UNESCO's propaganda activities have promoted the idea of "lifelong education" in Japan, and the official acknowledged that domestic demand for lifelong education had become more apparent. In 1971, the Central Education Committee issued a report recommending that " from the perspective of lifelong education, comprehensive adjustments of the entire education system are required." In 1981, the Central Education Commission of Japan submitted a lifelong education report to MEXT, which emphasized the necessity and importance of "lifelong education" and marked the beginning of the transition to lifelong education in Japan. Since the mid-1980s, "lifelong learning" has become the most common term in Japan for adult education activities. In the 21st century, with the support of local and national governments, people can freely choose formal, informal, or non-informal learning opportunities at any time, and relevant institutions would offer appropriate certificates.
Beating stress: evidence for recalibration of word stress perception
Authors: Bujok Ronny , Peeters David , meyer antje , Bosker Hans Rutger
Published: March 2024

Speech is inherently variable, requiring listeners to apply adaptation mechanisms to deal with the variability. A proposed perceptual adaptation mechanism is recalibration, whereby listeners learn to adjust cognitive representations of speech sounds based on disambiguating contextual information. Most studies on the role of recalibration in speech perception have focused on variability in particular speech segments (e.g., consonants/vowels), and speech has mostly been studied in isolation. However, speech is often accompanied by visual bodily signals like hand gestures and is thus multimodal. Moreover, variability in speech extends beyond segmental aspects alone and also affects prosodic aspects, like lexical stress. We currently do not understand well how listeners adjust their representations of lexical stress patterns to different speakers. In three experiments, we investigated recalibration of lexical stress perception, driven by lexico-orthographical information (Experiment 1) and by manual beat gestures (Experiments 2-3). Across experiments, we observed that these types of disambiguating information (presented during an initial brief exposure phase) lead listeners to adjust their representations of lexical stress, with lasting consequences for subsequent spoken word recognition (in an audio-only test phase). However, evidence for generalization of this recalibration to segmentally different words was mixed as it was found only in the final experiment. These results highlight that recalibration is a plausible mechanism for suprasegmental speech adaption in everyday communication and show that even the timing of simple hand gestures can have a lasting effect on auditory speech perception.
Dimension-Based Retro-Cue Benefit in Working Memory Does Not Require Unfocused Dimension Removal

Published: March 2024

Within the maintenance phase of visual working memory (VWM), previous researchers presented retro-cues orienting to a probed dimension across all multidimension stimuli and found a robust dimension-based retro-cue benefit (RCB): VWM performance for cued dimension was better than no/neutral-cue baseline. This improvement is often attributed to the prioritization of information related to the focused dimension and the removal of information related to the unfocused dimension from VWM. However, it remains unclear whether the removal of the uncued dimension is necessary to observe this dimension-based RCB. In the current study, we first manipulated the number of retro-cues to investigate this question. We used colored, oriented bars as stimuli and two sequential retro-cues oriented to different dimensions in the double-cue condition. The last presented cue in each trial was always valid. Therefore, the unfocused dimension in the first cue display was probed in double-cue trials. Experiment 1 adopted change detection tasks and three cue type conditions (no-cue, single-cue, double-cue). Experiment 2 divided the single-cue condition into early- and late- cue conditions, using recall tasks to elevated probe precision. Experiment 3 further added double-neutral and double-same cue types and eliminated the different influences of post-memory masks on each dimension respectively. Results across these experiments showed a robust pattern of no worse performances for the double-cue condition than for the single-cue condition. Because the dimension-based single cue benefit was observed especially in early-cue trials, we supposed that the dimension-based RCB does not require removing the unfocused dimension from VWM.

Итальянская комедия XVI века: обновление классических моделей
Authors: Glushkova A.
Published: March 2024

The study of the specifics of the development of Italian literature and theater cannot be interpreted without recourse to the socio-cultural context of the era. The XVI century was the heyday of court culture, developing formal models that needed to be viewed as role models. The Ferrara Court becomes the trendsetter of experiments with Latin comedies for Northern and Central Italy. This paper attempts to disprove the idea of reducing the Italian comedy of the XVI century to a simple imitation of the classical models of Plautus and Terence. Theatrical performances by contrast were a representation of Italian reality, accomplished through the refining of previous traditions. The analysis of correlations between “new” and “old” comedy, carried out by means of the example of L. Arisoto's prologues to “La Cassaria” (1508) and “I Suppositi” (1509) and B. Castiglione to “La Calandria” (1513), occupies the central place of the present paper.
М. Фуко и Дж. Агамбен: философия киников и роль художника в культуре

What can be common between a politician, a philosopher and an artist? The French philosopher and culturologist Michel Foucault, based on a thorough and detailed analysis of ancient culture, identified several significant problems for European culture: ethics of telling the truth, the meaning of philosophy, the style of existence and the form of subjectivation, which are illustrated by the example of the ancient Socratic philosophical school of the Cynics. Michel Foucault himself suggested that perhaps this philosophical school laid the «matrix of the ethical experience» of European man. The author of this article made an attempt to analyze the image of the artist, formulated by the modern Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben in his work “The Man Without Content”, in order to confirm or refute the hypothesis about the continuity of the artists of some of the characteristic features of the philosophical school of Cynics.

The article is dedicated to the process of meaning-making in contemporary dance performance as an art form. The author examines the role of the body and movements in conveying emotions, ideas, and messages, as well as the interaction between choreographers, performers, and audiences. Special attention is given to the internal bodily sensations and experiences of the performer, which manifest through a unique plastic language. The significance of contextual aspects such as cultural, historical, and social factors in shaping meaning in dance performance is also noted. The article emphasizes that dance performance is not only a form of artistic expression but also a means of communication capable of transmitting diverse emotions and ideas. It analyzes the plastic language, including movement techniques, symbolic gestures, and compositional methods. The interaction with space and objects is explored, contributing to the expansion of emotional and visual meanings. The article underscores the importance of audience interpretation and emotional response, which play a significant role in the creation and perception of meaning in dance performance. The author highlights that dance performance serves as a platform for investigating and experimenting with various semantic structures and their impact on spectators, ultimately revealing the depth and diversity of the human experience through the language of the body and movements.
Естественнонаучные и философские аспекты единства живописи и музыки: взгляд через призму искусственного интеллекта
Authors: Tribot-La-Spiere M.
Published: March 2024

This article discusses a philosophical description of the unity of painting and music through the prism of the natural-science phenomenon of the generation of phonon oscillations by the surface of a painting surface. A method is proposed for using artificial intelligence in the automated detection of phonon oscillations, which consists in a matrix recording of dynamic two-dimensional light scattering, convolution of the matrix into topological indices, and sonification of the change in indices over time. We have developed the new method for controlling surface phonon oscillations based on diffuse reflection kinetics. The specialized software “Vidan” records the kinetics of changes with 10 topological indices, which reflects the propagation of a phonon wave on the surface during capture and inelastic scattering of secondary cosmic rays [3]. To control the state of the surface, either the fingerprint of 10 topological descriptors is used (this analysis is automated through the “Atrium” remote software), or a spectral analysis of the distribution of descriptor values in time is carried out. In art the method was used for generation the "digital" passport (including the topological descriptors) of new paintings in order to control the appearance of copies. The algorithm for converting phonon oscillations of a painting leads to the generation of a unique melody. In this case, the main part of the creative activity belongs not to the composer, but to artificial intelligence, which generates a melody based on the chemical composition of the paint material of the picture and the method of applying the painting layer (that is, the artist's "hands"). The material heritage of the painter's work continues to generate new works of art “offline”, while artificial intelligence acts only as a way of detecting and sonification of the natural vibrations of the surface of the picture. It is shown that each painting generates its own unique melody. This uniqueness made it possible to propose an original system for checking the authenticity of works of art: for new works of artists. A cloud-based automated control system "Atrium" has been implemented, which allows tracking any logistical movements of the picture and the change of owner according to the topological musical digital passport of the picture generated by its surface.

An assessment of Wellbeing Priorities of Small-scale Migratory Fishing Communities in the West Coast, Sri Lanka
Authors: Koralagama Dilanthi Nadeeka
Published: March 2024

Identification of wellbeing priorities is a pre-requisite for successful development programs. Wellbeing assessment has become ever-challenging yet crucial in development studies, especially in achieving macroeconomic goals. This paper presents a descriptive assessment method to identify unmet wellbeing priorities, which may provide valuable and meaningful insights on development needs and frustrations. Assessment has been conducted assuming the perceiving wellbeing as a gap between an individual’s necessities (aspiration) and level of satisfaction. There, development frustrations and goal achievements have been explored with respect to the small-scale migratory fishers in the west coast, Sri Lanka. A sample of 142 fishers (25% of the migrant fishing population in the west coast) was drawn randomly from the lists of fisheries associations in Negombo and Chilaw, who are migrating to Mannar, in the North. The necessities and satisfactions were assessed based on a 3-point and 4-point Likert scale and the mean scores were calculated and ranked. Differences between the mean score rank of the wellbeing necessities and mean score rank of satisfaction were calculated. The negative difference indicates development frustrations, and the positives are goal achievements. Indian trawling issue, illegal fishing, financial uncertainty, cost of fishing, fish pricing mechanism, patience, conflicts, and physical health are the unmet wellbeing priorities with negative ranks. Migration has enabled easy access to sea, smooth consumption, diversified livelihood opportunities, good family relationships, and a few others with a positive difference – the goal achievements. Implementation of rules and regulations encouraging sustainable fishing techniques, regulations against poaching, adequate market linkages and effective pricing mechanism to control unhealthy price fluctuations, an interactive governance system including locals and migrant fishers, and frequent health clinics are recommended.
Formulation of Extended Release Theophylline Tablets Experimental, Modelling and Bioequivalence Studies
Authors: Herath K.K.G.M.P.B
Published: March 2024

Extended release drugs formulations are intended to continuously release medication over a prolonged period, after a single dose. Drugs which have a narrow therapeutic window and a moderate half life are good candidates for such formulations. One approach to such formulations is to embed the drug in a matrix which 'would act as a release retardant. We describe here our studies on the formulations of an extended release theophylline tablet using polymer matrices. Different acrylate copolymers sold in the market under the "Eudragit" label were subjected to experiment. Microcrystalline cellulose and calcium sulphate dihydrate were used as filler excepients. The theophylline release patterns of the different formulations were studied, at 37aC in phosplate buffers. The theophylline concentration were measured by Ul/ absorption spectroscopy A careful study of the release patterns of different formulations let to a formulation using Eudragit=E RSPO, a trimenthylammonioethyl methacrylate copolymer and calcium sulphate dihydrate, which conformed with the following release pattern in accordance with USP 25. Time (hours) % Drug Released 1 10 - 30 2 30 - 55 4 55 - 80 8 >80 This formulations 'was used to prepare tablets with two dosages, paediatric dose (125 mg) and adult dose (250 mg). The adult dose was subjected to a bioequivalence study against an established commercially available slow release 250 mg formulation (Neulin 250 SR, 3M Pharmaceuticals, Australia) Twenty healthy male volunteers participated in the study. Theophylline concentrations in serum were determined by Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay. There was no significant difference between the two formulations in basic bio availability and pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC CiliaIa'nd Tlllal The new Theophylline ER 125 mgformulation developed is nOH'being manufactured by the State Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Corporation (SPMC). a.
