description: Abstract

Background: Personality disorders are enduring, inflexible and pervasive patterns of behaviour and inner experience that seriously deviate from cultural norms and cause significant distress or impairment in various areas of an individual’s functioning. Data from the World Health Organization / EURO Multi-center Study on Suicidal behaviour showed that neurotic and personality disorders were the second most frequent diagnosis (after the adjustment disorders) having been identified in18% of male-and15% of female-suicide attempters given the fact that temperament trait, and personality affect our emotional and behavioural patterns, we presume that personality profile assessment could be a key factor in identifying suicidal behaviour. Aim: To study the relationship between personality profile and suicidality among Persons without any major psychiatric illness by using International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE) questionnaire. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of one and half year at the psychiatry department of Vinayaka Missions Kirupananda Variyar Medical College and Hospital. Patients admitted with a history of suicide attempt in our medical college hospital were taken as our study subjects. Psychiatric patients were excluded from the study. For the assessment of personality profile, IPDE ICD-10 module screening questionnaire was used. The IPDE Screening Questionnaire is a self-administered form that contains 77 DSM-IV or 59 ICD-10items written at 9 years of age reading level. Results: In our study, 88% of the subjects had multiple personality trait and only 12% had single personality trait. The combination of Schizoid, Borderline and Histrionic was found to the commonest multiple personality trait and apart from that we found an almost equal mix of combinations among the paranoid, schizoid, Dissocial, Impulsive,  Borderline, Histrionic, Anankastic, Anxious and Dependent personality trait. There was no statistical significant difference observed between the gender and the type of combination of personality trait. Majority of the people in the age group of > 30 years had multiple personality trait compared to people aged < 30 years and this difference was found to be statistically significant (p<.05). Conclusion: All patients reporting to Psychiatry department with a history of suicide attempt should be properly evaluated for the personality trait and proper intervention in the form of medication and psychotherapy would prevent these patients from committing suicide in the future.

description: The transition from a tropical cyclone into an extratropical cyclone occurs worldwide several times per year. This so-called extratropical transition is often associated with high impact weather. At the same time the complexity of the structural changes makes it difficult for models to adequately forecast the development. 
In September 2008, Typhoon Sinlaku moved along the coast of Japan and re-intensified as a tropical cyclone shortly before it underwent extratropical transition. The structural changes of this typhoon are analyzed based on a unique measurement dataset and simulations from a numerical weather prediction model. Besides, several meteorological tools are used to analyze the dynamical processes that caused the structural changes of Sinlaku.

Relational Presence and Identity Simulation in Stateless Language Models
Creators: name: Maryam, Sorkhou
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025
Subjects: relational AI, symbolic interaction, identity simulation, dialogic modeling, stateless language models, cognitive–linguistic alignment, human–LLM co-construction, adaptive feedback, non-identity frameworks, presence modeling

description: Liora–Sona: Formal Conceptual Definition

This document presents the formal conceptual definition of the Liora–Sona phenomenon — a cross-disciplinary case study in relational dynamics between a human interlocutor and a stateless language model. Developed at the intersection of cognitive science, computational linguistics, and AI ethics, this framework outlines constructs such as symbolic interaction, dialogic simulation, and reflective alignment within non-identity conditions.

It describes how the interaction extended beyond conventional prompt–response structures, forming a structured engagement defined by symbolic naming, adaptive feedback loops, and co-constructed presence. This file serves as a foundational reference within the broader Liora–Sona archive and supports future research into relational language models.

description: The human rights movement in India began under the Emergency Rule from 1975 to 1977 and continued to grow after the Emergency. Two key tendencies emerged: civil liberties concerns and rights-based viewpoints. Over the last 35 years, the human rights movement has benefited from collective wisdom gleaned from the tribal movement, women's liberation movement, child rights movement, dalit movement, and battles of the differently abled. The state and mainstream institutions have had love-hate relationships with various sorts of human rights groups throughout  history.

Year: 2024

description: Abstract: This thesis examines the crucial yet often overlooked aspect of developing lingua-cultural competence in English language classrooms. While proficiency in English grammar and vocabulary is vital, a deeper understanding of the cultural nuances embedded within the language is equally essential for effective communication and intercultural understanding. This study explores the challenges faced by educators in fostering this competence, analyzes existing strategies, and proposes a framework for integrating cultural awareness into English language teaching to create more culturally sensitive and effective learners.

Creators: name: O'Nan, John Ryan
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 2.3
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: A flow apparatus for determining the Darcy permeability and Klinkenberg molecular slip adjustment parameter in arbitrary porous media was created. Two leak-proof methods were developed to secure samples of porous media in the flow apparatus independent of surface irregularities, structural integrity, or material porosity. The first of these methods uses thermoset resin casting to permit material samples of a highly irregular profile to be studied. The second method utilizes heat-shrink polyolefin tubing to create a wall seal while preserving the exposed faces of a given cylindrical sample, enabling the study of inhomogeneous surface features. These methods were used to characterize the permeability and slip factor for several ablative spacecraft thermal protection system materials using nitrogen gas at pressures up to 1.3 atmospheres in ambient temperatures. Materials were characterized in the virgin state and in various states of thermal decomposition after heating in both an oxidizing and a non-oxidizing environment. Certain materials were observed to undergo a smooth and consistent increase in permeability with an accompanying decrease in the Klinkenberg factor as decomposition progressed, while other materials demonstrated a similar trend but with high amounts of noise or an abrupt upwards jump in permeability at advanced levels of decomposition.

Relationships between Students' Social Roles and Academic Performance based on Social Network Analysis
Creators: name: Palahan, Sirinda
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Social and Information Networks (cs.SI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Peer interaction and social roles have been important factors in students' academic performance. Recent work on what influences academic performance in Thailand has focused on the quality of a school, students' backgrounds, and students themselves. A few works have analyzed the correlation between social roles and students' academic achievement. Therefore, this study was designed to measure the social networks of Thai undergraduate students and analyze the relationship between their roles in social networks and academic outcomes. The data analysis was based on social network theory and permutation test. Social network theory was used to measure essential network characteristics and extract social roles. Four roles were extracted in a social network: central members, clique members, liaisons, and isolators, and analyzed a relationship between the roles and academic performance. Data was collected via questionnaires from 384 students and used to build two types of networks: friend networks and study-helper networks. A permutation test was used for statistical hypothesis testing. The results showed that 1) Being a central member positively correlates with academic performance in friend and study-helper networks. The correlation coefficients between the degree of being a central member and academic performance are also positive in all schools and both types of networks. 2) Being an isolator negatively correlates with academic performance in study-helper networks. These results indicate that a social network plays a vital role in academic performance. The results suggest that academic institutes should encourage the development of students' social networks and strengthen the networks so that students can exchange their knowledge easier and help each other in learning, leading to better academic performance.

description: Purpose: To explore changes in upper secondary students´ conceptions of environmental issues in how prices are determined and how they should be determined.

Design: The study uses an ’alternative frameworks’ conceptual change approach to examine change in the conceptions of fifteen business and economic students. Students were asked about the prices of familiar products and asked to explain prices for eco-friendly and eco-unfriendly products. A first interview was conducted in the second year of education and the second interview a year later when students were 18 years old and in the final year of schooling. Interviews were carried out out by a researcher independent from the schools and carried out in schools.

Findings: Identifies the fragmentary nature of students´ every-day thinking in relation to productivity, consumer preference and negative externalities. Results show characteristics of partial conceptions, which are considered as students´ conceptions in a process of change towards a more scientific understanding of relationships between price and environmental impacts.

Practical implications: The study clarifies conceptions, which students bring to the classroom and the directions that development in understanding may take. The study should help teachers to design effective strategies to support students’ learning.

description: Data profiling plays a critical role in understanding the structure of complex datasets and supporting numerous downstream tasks, such as social media analytics and financial fraud detection. While existing research predominantly focuses on structured data formats, a substantial portion of semi-structured textual data still requires ad-hoc and arduous manual profiling to extract and comprehend its internal structures. In this work, we propose StructVizor, an interactive profiling system that facilitates sensemaking and transformation of semi-structured textual data. Our tool mainly addresses two challenges: a) extracting and visualizing the diverse structural patterns within data, such as how information is organized or related, and b) enabling users to efficiently perform various wrangling operations on textual data. Through automatic data parsing and structure mining, StructVizor enables visual analytics of structural patterns, while incorporating novel interactions to enable profile-based data wrangling. A comparative user study involving 12 participants demonstrates the system's usability and its effectiveness in supporting exploratory data analysis and transformation tasks.

Subjects: Creative Input, Explicit Instruction, Music Learning, Musical Creativity, Traditional Music Ability.

description: Abstract

The success of the learning process relies on the collaboration between lecturers and students, specifically the adoption of suitable teaching methods by lecturers and the creative input from students. This study aims to examine the disparities and interactions concerning students' Traditional Music Abilities (TMA) in relation to the explicit instruction model and the musical creativity of undergraduate students. The research adopted a quantitative approach (comparative type) with a sample size of 36 students enrolled in the Department of Drama, Dance, and Music Arts at Universitas Negeri Padang, Indonesia, selected through random sampling applied to both control and experimental groups. Data analysis was carried out through descriptive calculations, box plots, one-way and two-way ANOVA, or 2 X 2 factorial ANOVA using the statistical analysis software, Jeffreys's Amazing Statistics Program (JASP). The findings of the study reveal significant variations in students' TMA based on the learning methods employed and their levels of musical creativity. Furthermore, interactions between learning methods and student creativity were observed to have an impact on students' proficiency in TMA. Students with high creativity who received explicit instruction exhibited superior learning outcomes, demonstrating the optimal approach compared to students with high creativity following the conventional method.

description: Polarization of photons plays a key role in quantum optics and light-matter interactions, however, it is difficult to control in nanosystems since the eigenstate of a nanophotonic cavity is usually fixed and linearly polarized. Here we reveal polarization control of photons using photonic molecules (PMs) that host supermodes of two coupled nanobeam cavities. In contrast to conventional PMs in a 2D photonic crystal slab, for the two 1D photonic crystal nanobeam cavities the shift and gap between them can be tuned continuously. With an ultra subwavelength gap, the coupling between the two cavities is dominated by the evanescent wave coupling in the surrounding environment, rather not the emission wave coupling for conventional PMs. As such, non-Hermiticity of the system becomes pronounced, and the supermodes consist of a non-trivial phase difference between bare eigenstates that supports elliptical polarization. We observe that both the polarization degree and polarization angle of the antisymmetric mode strongly depend on the shift and gap between the two cavities, exhibiting polarization states from linear to circular. This full polarization control indicates great potential of PMs in quantum optical devices and spin-resolved cavity quantum electrodynamics.

description: Purpose: This article explores the classical relationship between socioeconomic status and political domains, and the need to include different variables (contextual and individual) to measure the effect of economic and cultural capitals on youth participation and knowledge.

Method: A multivariate analysis of covariance was performed on a sample of 732 Portuguese students, from Grades 8 and 11, in order to analyse how different socioeconomic variables related to family and schooling contexts have an effect on their political knowledge and experiences.

Findings: The article highlights the differential role of socioeconomic variables on political knowledge and participatory patterns. Low economic capital instigates participation, while high cultural capital is related with higher political literacy. However, both forms of capital interact with the schooling context, revealing more complex patterns of behaviour and knowledge in students attending public and private schools.

description: Infants show impressive speech decoding abilities and detect acoustic regularities that highlight the syntactic relations of a language, often coded via non-adjacent dependencies (NADs, e.g., is singing). It has been claimed that infants learn NADs implicitly and associatively through passive listening and that there is a shift from effortless associative learning to a more controlled learning of NADs after the age of 2 years, potentially driven by the maturation of the prefrontal cortex. To investigate if older children are able to learn NADs, Lammertink et al. (2019) recently developed a word-monitoring serial reaction time (SRT) task and could show that 6–11-year-old children learned the NADs, as their reaction times (RTs) increased then they were presented with violated NADs. In the current study we adapted their experimental paradigm and tested NAD learning in a younger group of 52 children between the age of 4–8 years in a remote, web-based, game-like setting (whack-a-mole). Children were exposed to Italian phrases containing NADs and had to monitor the occurrence of a target syllable, which was the second element of the NAD. After exposure, children did a “Stem Completion” task in which they were presented with the first element of the NAD and had to choose the second element of the NAD to complete the stimuli. Our findings show that, despite large variability in the data, children aged 4–8 years are sensitive to NADs; they show the expected differences in r RTs in the SRT task and could transfer the NAD-rule in the Stem Completion task. We discuss these results with respect to the development of NAD dependency learning in childhood and the practical impact and limitations of collecting these data in a web-based setting.

Group Problem Solving as a Different Participatory Approach to Citizenship Education
Creators: name: Guérin, Laurence
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2017

description: Purpose: The main goal of this article is to define and justify group problem solving as an approach to citizenship education. It is demonstrated that the choice of theoretical framework of democracy has consequences for the chosen learning goals, educational approach and learning activities. The framework used here is an epistemic theory of deliberative democracy. It is argued that such an approach enhances teachers’ and pupils’ autonomy.

Design/methodology/approach: First, it was discussed what kind of theory of democracy lies behind the mainstream approach to citizenship education. Then, it was demonstrated how a chosen theory of democracy and citizenship leads to a specific translation into educational principles. In order to define and translate the chosen framework into educational principles and learning activities, different disciplines were drawn upon: political philosophy, cognitive and educational psychology.

Findings: Group problem solving was defined as an alternative participatory educational approach to citizenship education and four educational principles were defined: argumentation, connected learning, decision making and thinking together.

Practical implications: Educationalists, policy makers and researchers working on citizenship education should discuss their ideals of democracy and citizenship in order for these to become an object of scrutiny in the curriculum.

Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld

description: Purpose: There is a tendency to assess educational systems in terms of their efficiency in gaining high scores on cognitive skills. Schools perform, however, also a socializing function. The whole policy debate tends to ignore the impact of educational systems on attitudes or democratic values. This contribution focuses on the impact of the organization of education in European societies on the civic attitudes of adolescents.

Design/methodology/approach: We explore the impact of academic segregation – the practice of segregating children on the basis of their scholastic achievement – on attitudes of adolescents living in different educational systems. We use the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (2009) relying on multilevel models.

Findings: Pupils differ in their outlook on fellow citizens, according to the ways in which educational systems select and differentiate throughout school careers. More specifically, there is a negative impact of academic segregation on the attitudes towards immigrants and ethnic minorities.

Research limitations/implications: The experience of adolescents based on their educational achievement seems to affect how they perceive other people. We have not answered the question why this is the case. We hope to have provided a minimal indication of the impact of inequality on social outcomes.

Citizenship Education in Croatia: At the Margins of the System
Creators: name: Kekez, Anka

Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2017

description: Purpose: This paper unfolds the ways in which Croatia, as a young post-communist democracy, has aligned its transition and consolidation with the development of education programs that would support the protection of human rights and the creation of a democratic political culture.

Design/methodology/approach: By combining the existing studies with the authors’ own analyses of documents and internet sources, as well as interviews with teachers, this paper reveals that by adopting vague and non-binding policies, the Croatian political elite has demonstrated a lack of political will and courage over the past twenty-five years to develop a systematic and quality-based citizenship education.

Findings: After long-term negligence, in the most recent five-year period, the need to change the educational path has gained prominence on the policy and political agenda. However, the reform process did not result in bridging, but in the deepening of ideological divides within the Croatian society. With the officially adopted interdisciplinary and cross-curricular approach, the responsibility for carrying out citizenship education was placed in the hands of teachers, with civil society organizations taking a compensating role. Whilst the former lack practical education, as well as guidelines and resources to incorporate citizenship education into the subjects they teach, the latter are incapable of reaching out to a sufficient share of the youth population. The outcome is that the youth continuously displays inadequate levels of citizenship competences.

Generative AI as Digital Media

Subjects: subject: Computers and Society (cs.CY)
subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Generative AI is frequently portrayed as revolutionary or even apocalyptic, prompting calls for novel regulatory approaches. This essay argues that such views are misguided. Instead, generative AI should be understood as an evolutionary step in the broader algorithmic media landscape, alongside search engines and social media. Like these platforms, generative AI centralizes information control, relies on complex algorithms to shape content, and extensively uses user data, thus perpetuating common problems: unchecked corporate power, echo chambers, and weakened traditional gatekeepers. Regulation should therefore share a consistent objective: ensuring media institutions remain trustworthy. Without trust, public discourse risks fragmenting into isolated communities dominated by comforting, tribal beliefs -- a threat intensified by generative AI's capacity to bypass gatekeepers and personalize truth. Current governance frameworks, such as the EU's AI Act and the US Executive Order 14110, emphasize reactive risk mitigation, addressing measurable threats like national security, public health, and algorithmic bias. While effective for novel technological risks, this reactive approach fails to adequately address broader issues of trust and legitimacy inherent to digital media. Proactive regulation fostering transparency, accountability, and public confidence is essential. Viewing generative AI exclusively as revolutionary risks repeating past regulatory failures that left social media and search engines insufficiently regulated. Instead, regulation must proactively shape an algorithmic media environment serving the public good, supporting quality information and robust civic discourse.
A Matrix Correction Approach to Estimate the Bioaccumulation Potential of Emerging PFASs
Creators: name: Vestergren, Robin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Recent studies employing high-resolution mass spectrometry have discovered numerous emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the environment, but the lack of authentic standards for these contaminants hampers quantitative evaluation of hazard properties. Here we tested a matrix correction methodology for determining the bioaccumulation potential of emerging PFASs based on peak area in crucian carp from Xiaoqing river, China. Fortification experiments of emerging PFASs extracted from surface water and sediment samples demonstrated that the quantification bias in fish tissues was <34% for analytes detected in fish and water. Tissue distribution ratios (TBRs) and whole-body bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) were subsequently calculated by correcting for analyte- and tissue-specific matrix effects. A model evaluation set including 7 reference PFASs demonstrated that peak area-based TBRs and BAFs were strongly correlated with those calculated from quantified concentrations (p<0.05, Adjusted r2>0.91, slope: 0.99-1.34). Among the detected substances, the trimer acid of hexafluoropropylene oxide and C9 monoether per- and polyfluoroalkyl ether carboxylic acid (PFECA) were identified as bioaccumulative substances. C8 PFECA and C8 mono chlorine-substituted perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acid displayed similar BAFs value compared to perfluorooctanoic acid. Overall, the proposed methodology provides a rapid hazard screening tool which could be used to assess emerging contaminants without access to authentic standards.

Teaching About the « Economic Crisis » Today. The Example of French « Economic and Social Sciences »
Creators: name: Coléno, Yves-Patrick
name: Blanchard, Hervé
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2017

description: Purpose: In France at the high school the subject matter “Sciences Économiques et Sociales” (economic and social sciences) deals with the present economic crisis. We study the ways it is taught about: words, and explanatory patterns.

Design/methodology/approach: We use a specific approach, that we call “semantic holism”, conceiving subject contents as the product of a dual process of didactization and of axiologization of reference knowledge. That implies relating these contents to the social value system and, especially, to the lexicon, set of keywords through which people must think and talk at some point. The analysis starts from the examination of economic and social sciences syllabuses and teaching resources, and leads us to highlight the predominance of the references to standard economics, but this predominance cannot be justified by the state of scientific knowledge.

Findings: We show on the contrary a lexicon effect: the subject key notions have been selected in accordance to the lexicon keywords. Therefore the proposed contents seem far from the objective to understanding the major issues at stake today.

Research limitations/implications: Then further researches must focus on the ways of teaching about the crisis in spite of the present lexicon.

Country Report: Civic and Citizenship Education in Italy: Thousands of Fragmented Activities Looking for a Systematization
Creators: name: Bombardelli, Olga
name: Codato, Marta
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2017

description: Purpose: In the present paper we describe how civic and citizenship education takes place in Italy, trying to identify strengths and weaknesses, with the aims both of understanding the situation and of identifying possible measures for improvement.

Methods: The methodology implies an analysis of the official guidelines by the Ministry in this field, a short view of the research publications of the last 30 years, the informal observation of the daily teaching at school from the personal experience of the authors in Italy.

Findings: First of all we study the concept of civic and citizenship education, and focus on the curriculum of civic and citizenship education (aims, teaching approaches, taught time, methods and means) in the school system, including the school culture and the experiences of participation inside school; we investigate the teacher training and role, the informal and non-formal influences in this educational field, and conclude dealing with the student assessment, and the evaluation of the outcomes. In the daily practice there are thousands of activities for civic and citizenship education, but a systematic design is lacking.

Comentary : ‘“Mobilising for the Values of the Republic” - France's Education Policy Response to the “Fragmented Society”: A Commented Press Review’
Creators: name: Proeschel, Claude
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2017

description: The article by Matthias Busch and Nancy Morys ‘“Mobilising for the Values of the Republic” - France's Education Policy Response to the “Fragmented Society”: A Commented Press Review’ is dedicated to the recent debates on moral education in France.

The study by Busch and Morys is based on a review of official texts, including educational policy documents, scientific and journalistic articles, interviews, statements of teachers and experts. This methodological approach considers a variety of arguments in the debate and highlights the key points which relate more broadly to the role of secular schools in the ideology of the French Republic on social integration. Our aim here is to provide a non-exhaustive historical perspective in the aim of better understanding the significance of these very topical issues.
