Striatal response to negative feedback in a stop signal task operates as a multi-value learning signal
Authors: Smith Benjamin J. , Lipsett Megan , Cosme Danielle , Braun Victoria A. , Browning O’Hagan Anastasia M. , Berkman Elliot T. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background and aim: We examined error-driven learning in fMRI activity of 217 subjects in a stop signal task to obtain a more robust characterization of the relation between behavioral measures of learning and corresponding neural learning signals than previously possible.
Methods: The stop signal task is a two-alternative forced choice in which participants respond to an arrow by pressing a left or right button but must inhibit that response on 1 in 7 trials when cued by an auditory “stop signal.” We examined post-error learning by comparing brain activity (BOLD signal) and behavioral responses on trials preceded by successful (correct stop) vs. failed (failed stop) inhibition.
Results: There was strong evidence of greater bilateral striatal activity in the period immediately following correct (vs. failed) stop trials (most evident in the putamen; peak MNI coordinates [-26 8 -2], 430 voxels, p &lt; 0.001; [24 14 0], 527 voxels, p &lt; 0.001). We measured median activity in the bilateral striatal cluster following every failed stop and correct stop trial and correlated it with learning signals for (a) probability and (b) latency of the stop signal. In a mixed-effects model predicting activity 5-10 s after the stop signal, both reaction time (RT) change (B = -0.05, t = 3.0, χ2 = 11.3, p &lt; 0.001) and probability of stop trial change (B = 1.53, t = 6.0, χ2 = 43.0, p &lt; 0.001) had significant within-subjects effects on median activity. In a similar mixed model predicting activity 1-5 s after the stop signal, only probability of stop trial change was predictive.
Conclusions: A mixed-effects model indicates the striatal activity might be a learning signal that encodes reaction time change and the current expected probability of a stop trial occuring. This extends existing evidence that the striatum encodes a reward prediction error signal for learning within the stop signal task, and demonstrates for the first time that this signal seems to encode both change in stop signal probability and in stop signal delay.
The Othering and Resilience of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Soviet and Contemporary Lithuania
Authors: Ališauskienė Milda 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Social research data shows that Jehovah’s Witnesses experience social ostracism, distancing, marginalization, and labeling in contemporary Lithuania. This article searches for an explanation for these public attitudes by applying a sociohistorical approach to the analysis of the processes of othering and resilience of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Lithuania from the organization’s arrival at the beginning of the twentieth century to today, focusing on its relations with society and state. It is based on the document and literature analysis of organization and academic sources as well as interviews with Jehovah’s Witnesses conducted in 2020–2021. The article argues that the social history of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Lithuania illustrates the processes of othering and resilience since the arrival of the organization in Lithuania throughout the Soviet period and in the Republic of Lithuania, as since 1990 both society and state have been contributing to the process of othering, while Witnesses continue persistently to exemplify resilient religion.
Faith in Self
Authors: Tanaka Yasuyo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In 1994, I migrated to New York City to pursue my art, freedom, and potential. Over the last 27 years, I learned to understand and respect the differences of people with different values, genders, religions, and races. I continued self-transforming by looking at issues from different angles with flexible thinking. Living far away from Japan, I reaffirmed my roots and rediscovered myself objectively. It’s especially interesting to me that the relationship between Japan and the United States has been strengthened through the atomic bomb. Behind this is the influence of Shinto and Buddhism on the Japanese way of thinking. Their teachings play a major role in peace operations. In addition, the power of faith is sometimes abused, and serious social problems are occurring. “Kusudama” means medicine ball. In my Peace and Harmony Workshop, many individual participants, who all experienced the same pandemic disaster, created medicine balls while sharing our common wishes for health, long life, and peace. Faith is, to me, the power to believe in ourselves. The symbolic work of a sphere, connecting faith and art, opens up a world full of charity, not division. Looking back on what I learned through my life and artwork, I consider and write about what kind of future we hope for, and what role religion and art can play.
The “Phenomenon” in Mamardashvili’s Phenomenology of Ontological Maturation
Authors: Kuravsky Erik 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the essay, I present the basic principles of Merab Mamardashvili’s phenomenology of ontological maturation. Though Mamardashvili’s thinking has been recently introduced to the West, there is still very little awareness of the uniqueness of his phenomenological insights, allowing him to illuminate contemporary philosophy’s central ontological and existential matters in a novel light. The essay addresses Mamardashvili’s interpretation of the “phenomenon,” which he exemplifies on rich experiential material from Proust’s novel In Search of Lost Time. The “phenomenon” is shown to differ radically from its traditional phenomenological interpretation as something that gives/shows itself in/for experience. Instead, the phenomenon is interpreted as an event that shocks one unexpectedly and offers a momentary opportunity to let oneself be appropriated by that truth, constituting the event of being human. I explicate the relations between Mamardashvili’s notion of the phenomenon, human transformation, and ontology. The central theme of these discussions is a new sense of human agency and autonomy revealed as the goal of transformation and requiring that one walks a path of ontological maturation.
A Moral Success and a Profitable One
Authors: Fleming Catherine 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the early years of the twentieth century, U.S. relationships with the East were shaped by influential men and women bent on modernising and Christianising other countries. Sidney Gulick, whose 1915 Working Women of Japan is part of a larger effort to support Japan’s modernisation, writes about a charitable institution as an exemplar for future projects. Although the project successfully attracted many young textile workers and assisted them by providing education, healthy living, and new opportunities, it also reveals a darker underside to western charitable impulses. Gulick conflates morality with industry, happiness with production, and success with profit, reducing a laudable attempt to interest fellow Americans in charitable efforts to an attempt to gain buy-in for a commercial project. By working in close partnership with exploitative factories and their owners, these would-be reformers end by supporting the very conditions which they set out to reform.
International Mediation, Identity Construction, and Normative Change
Authors: Clowry Sarah 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this article, I argue the following: mediation can operate as an arena in which identities are reconstructed while the very occurrence of mediation can trigger and fuel processes of identity reconstruction. More precisely, the norms promoted through mediation can serve to reconstruct the identities of the conflict parties. I will make this claim by examining two contemporary instances of mediation in Syria and Yemen, cases which diverge in the third-party peacemaking approach taken. I investigate these cases by gathering and thematically analyzing an original qualitative dataset comprising 74 semi-structured interviews, 50 press conferences, and 110 official documents. My analysis challenges existing literature concerning the intertwinement of norms, identity, and mediation; contributes to our understanding of how identities in Syria and Yemen were transformed following the revolutions of 2011; and interrogates traditional understandings of the purpose and effects of mediation.
Social Discourses in Egypt: Historical Developments of Interfaith Relations between Christians and Muslims
Authors: Kan Toby 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Based on analysis through the lens of Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, this article demonstrates how the theory is applicable to the complex situation of Christian and Muslim relations in Egypt. It argues that although the discourse of national unity remains dominant after the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, the humanist voice has become more vocal under the spirit of revolutionary fervor. Moreover, after the overthrow of the Muslim Brotherhood’s friendly regime, the religious discourse has been significantly toned down. With an emphasis on more inclusive national unity, an increasing number of Egyptians are inclined towards more fully embracing diversity in their society, paving the way for improving interfaith relations and peaceful coexistence of both faiths. In summary, from the perspective of interfaith relations, this article examines the intertwining of national discourse, religious discourse, and humanist discourse in Egyptian society.
Metacostalism
Authors: Isgrigg Daniel D. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article will explore Carlton Pearson’s Metacostalism as an example of the continuing problem of Pentecostal heterodoxy within the Pentecostal-Charismatic Movement. These theological currents, which are often found at the margins, represent a unique growing subset of Pentecostal believers that do not fit regular Evangelical orthodoxy. In considering the future of Pentecostal theology, this article will suggest that Pentecostal heterodoxy will only grow as conventional Evangelical orthodoxy continues to face sharp criticism and deconstruction. It will suggest that Pearson’s Pentecostal heterodoxy is an example of the type of conversations that will inform the future of Pentecostal thought.
The Loíza Feast and Oral Histories
Authors: Alvelo Ricardo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The issue of violence against women is no stranger to the people of Puerto Rico, which currently has the highest per capita rate in the world of women over 14 killed by their partners. Coming from a Puerto Rican heritage, the author presents findings that can move us toward a Pentecostal Puerto Rican way to reflect theologically on this issue, (Agustina Nuñez’s Loíza feast metaphor for example), while highlighting the stories of Puerto Rican women like Rev. Leoncia Rosado Rosseau and others, whose work in Pentecostal and other church traditions have addressed violence against women. The author also presents ways Nuñez’s metaphor and these stories go along with practice of the Eucharist. These elements challenge readers to address and push back ideas that promote violence against women while contributing to the Pentecostal and global conversation on violence against women.

‘Oriental Culture Nucleus’: The P. M. Suski Collection of Chinese Rare Books at the University of Southern California
Authors: Li Tang , Klein Kenneth 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Dr Peter Marie Suski was born in Japan but migrated to the United States in 1898. He practiced as a physician in southern California but had a lifelong interest in the languages of East Asia and put together a valuable collection of books, which was donated to the University of Southern California in 1962.
Revealing a little-known treasure at USC, this paper traces Suski’s life and book collecting through his autobiography and correspondence, and examines the subject coverage, research value and rarity of his collection of Chinese rare books. Several rare and special editions of Chinese rare book titles are highlighted in the paper, such as a 1618 manuscript copy of Shimo Juanhua 石墨鐫華, a 1748 palace edition of Yuanjian Leihan 淵鑑類函, and an 1825 first impression of Zijian 字鑑, all of which are featured in the USC Libraries online exhibit “Eastern Culture Nucleus: Chinese Rare Books in the USC Libraries (https://scalar.usc.edu/works/chinese-rare-books/index).”
The National Scientific Imperative in Wartime China and the Complex Motivations of Individual Scientists
Authors: Greene J. Megan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Although by the 1930s both state and nonstate actors generally agreed that science was key to the development of a modern China, there was no consensus on what that meant. The Second Sino-Japanese War stimulated a shift toward applied science that framed engagement in applied scientific activities as patriotic. This way of thinking was prevalent in Nationalist institutions. Although most scientists and social scientists understood themselves to be serving the nation, they did not all share this devotion to applied science. This article examines the Nationalist wartime institutional and rhetorical framework for scientific development and the complex ways in which scientists engaged with that framework. It shows that although the Nationalist state sought to bring science and technology into the service of the state, scientists, technicians, and social scientists, though often framing their work in terms of national need, were in fact motivated by a variety of interests and concerns.
Disobedient Performance in Han Han’s “Babae Ka”
Authors: Baguisa Bennette 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article seeks to introduce readers to the artist Han Han, whose identification as a first-generation immigrant woman, nurse, and rapper highlights a unique contribution to Filipino Canadian critique of colonial and racial relations in Canada. I examine the 2019 music video for Han Han’s single, “Babae Ka,” and consider how it reimagines local, global, and transnational forms of queerness and feminist power. How does this audio-visual piece reproduce and respond to conversations around diaspora, Indigeneity, and gendered forms of labour? Moving between the sonic and the visual, I argue that Han Han enacts a critical practice of “disobedient performance” as she plays with a vernacular understanding of Philippine gender and sexuality and explores the nuances of a performative construction of femininity encompassed in the term “babae” (Tagalog for “woman”).

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The following is an interview with Pocho, Union Trabajadores de la Tierra (utt) activist from the Argentinean province of Chubut. The interview highlights the struggle based process of growth of the organisation, the labour centred strategy that have characterised utt, but also how workers direct economic concerns were built into an economically alternative and ecologically sustainable project. The interview put in evidence the challenges and opportunities for a social movement that accepts to play on both the front of workers’ rights and demands and that of market competition.
From Where Women Knowledge Workers Stand: the Making of an Emancipatory Standpoint during and since the Gezi Protests
Authors: Hülagü Funda 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article rethinks Gezi Protests as a sui generis women’s movement which continues to this day, albeit in a form of unorganized flow. To make this point, the article focuses on the Gezi and Post-Gezi lifeworld experiences of women knowledge workers who participated in the Protests. It is argued that the worker-citizen experiences of these women have provided them with a specific epistemic advantage, which has turned in an emancipatory standpoint during the Gezi and has been reproduced since then – despite significant setbacks. Although still lacking a corresponding feminist counter-hegemonic project, the emancipatory standpoint of the women-in-movement of Gezi Protests is not only negative and adaptive but also formative. It immanently stands for the rationalization of all forms of governance. In that regard, it represents a wish for a new public power rather than a demand for entitlement and recognition by an already existing state.
Social Innovation in Taiwan
Authors: Chen Dung-sheng , Chou Muyi 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Taiwan began to systematically introduce social innovation as a tool for social reform after the 2008 financial crisis. Although most research on social innovation in Taiwan focuses on problem-solving methods based on the utilitarian perspectives of the public and private sectors, an analytical framework from the societal perspective is proposed in this article. We classify social innovation conducted by the public, private, and civil society sectors as either incremental or radical. This article seeks to provide an overview of the development of social innovation in Taiwan and to answer two main questions. First, how do Taiwan’s government and the private sector mainstream incremental social innovation, and what is its influence? Second, how does a radical approach emerge under this influence? This article illustrates how political and social contexts shape the development of social innovation and uses deliberative democracy in practice as a case study to show how radical social innovation emerges and develops.
Eye-Tracking in Physical Human–Robot Interaction: Mental Workload and Performance Prediction
Authors: Upasani Satyajit , Srinivasan Divya , Zhu Qi , Du Jing , Leonessa Alexander 
Published: October 2023

Background In Physical Human–Robot Interaction (pHRI), the need to learn the robot’s motor-control dynamics is associated with increased cognitive load. Eye-tracking metrics can help understand the dynamics of fluctuating mental workload over the course of learning. Objective The aim of this study was to test eye-tracking measures’ sensitivity and reliability to variations in task difficulty, as well as their performance-prediction capability, in physical human–robot collaboration tasks involving an industrial robot for object comanipulation. Methods Participants (9M, 9F) learned to coperform a virtual pick-and-place task with a bimanual robot over multiple trials. Joint stiffness of the robot was manipulated to increase motor-coordination demands. The psychometric properties of eye-tracking measures and their ability to predict performance was investigated. Results Stationary Gaze Entropy and pupil diameter were the most reliable and sensitive measures of workload associated with changes in task difficulty and learning. Increased task difficulty was more likely to result in a robot-monitoring strategy. Eye-tracking measures were able to predict the occurrence of success or failure in each trial with 70% sensitivity and 71% accuracy. Conclusion The sensitivity and reliability of eye-tracking measures was acceptable, although values were lower than those observed in cognitive domains. Measures of gaze behaviors indicative of visual monitoring strategies were most sensitive to task difficulty manipulations, and should be explored further for the pHRI domain where motor-control and internal-model formation will likely be strong contributors to workload. Application Future collaborative robots can adapt to human cognitive state and skill-level measured using eye-tracking measures of workload and visual attention.

Objectives To compare the urine output and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of patients postoperatively administered sugammadex or glycopyrrolate 7 days following kidney transplantation (KT). Methods We retrospectively enrolled 134 consecutive patients who underwent KT under general anesthesia. Their urine output and eGFR were recorded every 24 hours between postoperative day (POD) 1 and 7. We used regression analysis to evaluate the relationship between the reversal agent administered and the outcomes of the participants. Results The urine output and eGFR of the participants did not differ between the two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that body mass index (BMI) (odds ratio (OR) 1.21; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05–1.40), diabetes mellitus (OR 3.14; 95% CI 1.07–9.16), neurovascular disease (OR 7.00; 95% CI 1.61–30.42), and the duration of surgery (OR 1.01; 95% CI 1.00–1.01) were associated with lower urine output on POD 7. In addition, only BMI (OR 1.25; 95% CI 1.09–1.42) was associated with low eGFR on POD 7. Conclusions The urine output and eGFR of patients administered sugammadex or glycopyrrolate following KT did not differ 7 days later. Moreover, glycopyrrolate does not affect urine output or eGFR on POD 7, according to multivariate regression analysis.
