Social Media Outrage against Fake COVID Tests: Decoding an Instance of Flash Activism in Bangladesh
Creators: name: Chakraborty, Anwesha
name: Mattoni, Alice
Publisher: name: Sociologica
Year: 2023

description: In this paper, we attempt to outline and to discuss how social media platforms provide the public a space, albeit unsafe, in quasi-authoritarian contexts to share their opinions and grievances on contentious issues. We focus on the case study of a short-lived yet intense wave of social media outrage against a corrupt actor, Shahed, in Bangladesh, who was accused of selling fake Covid-19 tests to the public. Identifying it as an instance of flash activism in the digitally-networked media arena, the paper brings out some of the characteristics that define this act of public outrage under increasing government surveillance, such as the brief duration of the protests, the public indignation that resulted in the online expressions of the outrage and users’ strategies such as employing humour and satire to express indignation and avoid being persecuted by the regime. Our aim with this short paper is to understand how the internet challenges authoritarian governments insofar as it gives voice to citizens to express grievance, how governments transform their legal repertoire to gag their population from voicing opinions, and how people still find new, innovative ways to express themselves under such regimes.

Memory Protest and Contested Time: The Antimonumentos Route in Mexico City
Creators: name: Délano Alonso, Alexandra
name: Nienass, Benjamin
Publisher: name: Sociologica
Year: 2023

description: This article examines the corridor of Antimonumentos (antimonuments) in Mexico City. In a context of more than 110,000 enforced disappearances and hundreds of thousands of deaths since the start of the “war on drug cartels” in 2006, the Antimonumentos are one of the ways in which memory activists seek to mark significant events of violence and state neglect, and expressly confront both the government and society by voicing public demands for justice, accountability, and non-repetition. They occupy public spaces anonymously, without permission, and establish a link between past and present instances of state violence, thereby drawing attention to intersecting forms of violence. We examine how these countermonuments exemplify a protest against a specific regime of temporality, and how they also allow us to reflect on the temporality of protests.

description: As part of the HI Arecibo Galaxy Environments Survey (AGES) we have observed 5$\times$4 degrees of sky centred on M33, reaching a limiting column density of $\sim 1.5 \times 10^{17}$ cm$^{-2}$ (line width of 10 km s$^{-1}$ and resolution 3.5\arcmin). We particularly investigate the absence of optically detected dwarf galaxies around M33, something that is contrary to galaxy formation models. We identify 22 discrete HI clouds, 11 of which are new detections. The number of objects detected and their internal velocity dispersion distribution is consistent with expectations from standard galaxy formation models. However, the issue remains open as to whether the observed velocity dispersions can be used as a measure of the HI clouds total mass i.e. are the velocities indicative of virialised structures or have they been influenced by tidal interactions with other structures in the Local Group? We identify one particularly interesting HI cloud, AGESM33-31, that has many of the characteristics of HI distributed in the disc of a galaxy, yet there is no known optical counterpart associated with it. This object has a total HI mass of $1.22 \times 10^{7}$ M$_{\odot}$ and a diameter of 18 kpc if at the distance of M33 ($D_{M33}=840$ kpc). However, we also find that there are numerous other HI clouds in this region of sky that have very similar velocities and so it is plausible that all these clouds are actually associated with debris from the Magellanic stream.

description: Breeding of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) started with the selection of first generation plus-trees in the 1950s in Japan. The initial aim of the breeding program was to improve growth performance, and the aim has been extended to tolerance to adverse meteorological conditions, amelioration of wood properties, mitigation of pollinosis, and adaptation to climate change. These changes have arisen in response to shifts in social demands from timber production to management of diverse forest functions over time. Currently, the focus of C. japonica breeding is focusing on the selection and deployment of second-generation plus-tree clones and establishment of breeding populations for the third-generation plus-trees. In this review, these activities and achievements are described, and prospects of the future breeding initiatives, including the feasibility of breeding for climate change, are discussed.

description: For fixed $c,$ the Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions (PSWFs) $ψ_{n, c}$ form a basis with remarkable properties for the space of band-limited functions with bandwidth $c$. They have been largely studied and used after the seminal work of D. Slepian, H. Landau and H. Pollack. Many of the PSWFs applications rely heavily of the behavior and the decay rate of the eigenvalues $(λ_n(c))_{n\geq 0}$ of the time and frequency limiting operator, which we denote by $\mathcal Q_c.$ Hence, the issue of the accurate estimation of the spectrum of this operator has attracted a considerable interest, both in numerical and theoretical studies. In this work, we give an explicit integral approximation formula for these eigenvalues. This approximation holds true starting from the plunge region where the spectrum of $\mathcal Q_c$ starts to have a fast decay. As a consequence of our explicit approximation formula, we give a precise description of the super-exponential decay rate of the $λ_n(c).$ Also, we mention that the described approximation scheme provides us with fairly accurate approximations of the $λ_n(c)$ with low computational load, even for very large values of the parameters $c$ and $n.$ Finally, we provide the reader with some numerical examples that illustrate the different results of this work.

description: This guide results from the experience and lessons learned in co-designing thirteen technological services within the Cos4Cloud project. The technological services were created from a bottom-up approach, following a co-design process connected to an agile software development methodology. The co-design team implemented the co-design process as a service within the Cos4Cloud consortium, as stated in task 5.2. The result of implementing the co-design framework and methodologies and the corresponding monitoring during the co-design of the services, were evaluated and adapted to be shared with the citizen science community as a methodological guide. The present methodological guide includes an introduction to the world of co-design, where the main definitions and mindsets of co-design and design thinking are given, as well as some tools to start applying the creative methodologies within them. Secondly, it introduces the co-design methodology followed in Cos4Cloud, together with some important concepts, such as citizen science and citizen observatories. Then, a practical guide of implementation is given, including all the co-design methodologies used in Cos4Cloud. The most standard methods include a description and a work map template, while the customised ones incorporate a step-by-step guide to implement them. Finally, an explanation is given on how the co-design process was implemented in Cos4Cloud as a service for software developers, by using three interactive platforms that allowed us to perform all creative sessions. The document concludes with an invitation to implement co-design processes in other software development projects.

description: Compared with preparing a false narrative, preparing a truthful narrative requires less cognitive effort (e.g., imagination, manipulation of the existing visual representations in memory, logic reasoning). On the other hand, faster gaze direction may be associated with a more intensified attempt by the optical system to form new visual representations. Therefore, preparing a false personal narrative may be associated with a faster gaze movement and more gaze direction changes than preparing a truthful story.

description: In this interview with Filippo Barbera, Charles F. Sabel discusses his latest book, Fixing the Climate (Princeton University Press, 2022, with D.G. Victor), that dramatically reorients our thinking about the climate crisis. It provides a road map to institutional design oriented around concrete problem-solving that can finally lead to self-sustaining reductions in emissions that years of global diplomacy have failed to deliver. The discussion touches upon a number of key issues of general interest for social scientists: global governance; decisions under uncertainty and risk; pragmatic solutions to wicked problems; technological solutions and innovation.

description: Part of the evidence used to corroborate school motivation theories relies on modeling methods that estimate cross-lagged effects between constructs, or reciprocal effects from one occasion to another. Yet, the reliability of cross-lagged models rests on the assumption that students do not differ in their trajectories of growth over time (e.g., no high- or low-achievers). The present review explains why deviations from this assumption produce unreliable findings by confounding between- and within-person processes of change. To relax this assumption, next-generation cross-lagged models are presented and illustrated using panel data on high school students (N = 944). These issues and solutions are discussed using, as a case study, the pervading theory that motivation develops as a function of reciprocal effects between beliefs about the self (e.g., academic self-concept) and school achievement. Implications regarding the use of cross-lagged models and knowledge building in school motivation research are discussed. Supplementary Material (containing technical notes on cross-lagged models, as well as open-source data and scripts for R and Mplus) is provided to aid educational researchers use and compare these alternative models.
Interpreting the viability and longevity of the Leandro Case as it pertains to rectifying known inequities in the North Carolina public schools educational system

description: This study situates the recent North Carolina Supreme Court decision, generally known as the Leandro Case, in the context of other states' judicial interventions into education, as well as the broader context of American capitalistic society, in order to project the long-term affects the ruling will produce for North Carolina school systems. Through an analysis of both internal and external characteristics affecting the ruling, it is concluded that the state of North Carolina will be unable to achieve the goal of a sound, basic education for all students mandated in the Leandro Case, which is based on the currently held conception of equity.

description: The South Galactic Cap u-band Sky Survey (SCUSS) is a deep u-band imaging survey in the Southern Galactic Cap, using the 90Prime wide-field imager on the 2.3m Bok telescope at Kitt Peak. The survey observations started in 2010 and ended in 2013. The final survey area is about 5000 deg2 with a median 5-sigma point source limiting magnitude of about 23.2. This paper describes the survey data reduction process, which includes basic imaging processing, astrometric and photometric calibrations, image stacking, and photometric measurements. Survey photometry is performed on objects detected both on SCUSS u-band images and in the SDSS database. Automatic, aperture, point-spread function (PSF), and model magnitudes are measured on stacked images. Co-added aperture, PSF, and model magnitudes are derived from measurements on single-epoch images. We also present comparisons of the SCUSS photometric catalog with those of the SDSS and CFHTLS.

Unwritten Endings: Revolutionary Potential of China’s A4 Protest
Creators: name: Chan, Kin-Man
Publisher: name: Sociologica
Year: 2023

description: The A4 or White Paper Revolution as dubbed by international media refers to a series of protests against China's draconian Zero-Covid policy that started in November 2022. Although the protests did not last long, they debunked the myth that stringent pandemic measures were widely supported by the Chinese people. Additionally, they revealed the potential for social mobilization in China, regardless of the forceful crackdown on civil society and media censorship by the regime. This paper analyzes how the protests were able to garner support from a wide spectrum of people and circumvent the structural constraints imposed by an increasingly totalitarian regime. It demonstrates that hegemony will never be complete and that resistance is possible even under a “perfect dictatorship”.

Chile’s Estallido Social and the Art of Protest
Creators: name: Gordon-Zolov, Terri
Publisher: name: Sociologica
Year: 2023

description: Chile’s 2019–2020 social uprising, known as the estallido social or “social explosion,” brought about radical changes in the socio-political landscape of the country. A minor subway fare hike of 30 pesos soon escalated into a major revolution, whose motto, “It’s Not 30 Pesos, It’s 30 Years,” expressed pent-up discontent with the 30-year legacy of the brutal 17-year regime of Augusto Pinochet. Through massive mobilizations and artistic interventions, Chileans demonstrated against social and economic inequities born from the neoliberal model of the dictatorship, judicial impunity, and a lack of rights and protections for women, Indigenous peoples, and minority groups. In Santiago, youth occupied the site of Plaza Italia, “Ground Zero” of the protests, and the equestrian statue of war hero General Baquedano became a symbolic figure for the struggle for the city. This article focuses on the Chilean “art of protest,” considering how Chileans drew on a vanguardist artistic ethos to enable a reformulation of the public sphere and a collective, new political paradigm.

description: We analyse quench processes in two dimensional quantum field theories with infinite number of conservation laws which also include fermionic charges that close a $N=1$ supersymmetric algebra. While in general the quench protocol induces a breaking of supersymmetry, we show that there are particular initial states which ensure the persistence of supersymmetry also for the dynamics out of equilibrium. We discuss the conditions that identify such states and, as application, we present the significant cases of the Tricritical Ising Model and the Sine-Gordon model at its supersymmetric point. We also address the issue of the Generalized Gibbs Ensemble in the presence of fermionic conserved charges.

Contributions of German-Turkish Civil Society Organizations to German Political Discourses of Belonging
Creators: name: Brashear, Anna
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This thesis seeks to illuminate the participatory role and contribution processes of German-Turkish civil society organizations by bringing together existing secondary literature on migrant social organizations' purpose and practices with primary source material about two German-Turkish organizations in Berlin: the Türkischer Bund in Berlin-Brandenburg and the Türkische Gemeinde zu Berlin. While existing literature addresses immigrants' social practices of citizenship via civil society organizations or political opportunity structures that allow migrant organizations to access various levels of government, this article contributes by concentrating on migrant organizations’ discourse production and political participation and examining how they alter public debates and pursue policy changes. This focus deals with an important aspect of the ongoing discussion in Germany about the efficacy of participatory practices as a means to more empowering forms of integration for migrant groups and their potential to influence the (re)definition of national identities in their societies of settlement.
What Role Do Political Parties Play in Social Protests? Recent Trends in Argentina and Chile
Creators: name: Donoso, Sofia

Publisher: name: Sociologica
Year: 2023

description: There is a growing consensus about the complementary nature of institutional and non-institutional politics as means to push forward policy agendas. However, the bulk of research tends to concentrate on one aspect of this relationship, namely, how social movements influence the political arena, for example by impacting different stages of the policy-making process and creating new political parties. There is comparatively less understanding of the reverse dynamics: the degree to which political parties also influence the protest arena by adopting and utilizing strategies and tactics commonly associated with social movements and by connecting to demonstrators. Focusing on Argentina and Chile, two countries that have experienced massive protest waves in recent years, this article examines the presence of political parties in the organization, staging, and channeling of demonstrations. Given that the reception of political parties in demonstrations is closely tied to whether they are welcome in the protest arena or not, we also analyze how Argentine and Chilean protesters perceive political parties and the level of identification they feel with them. Our primary data source comes from 1935 surveys conducted as part of the Caught in the Act of Protest: Contextualizing Contestation (CCC) network between 2015 and 2017. We found that political parties in Argentina exhibit stronger ties to social movements compared to those in Chile. We seek to link this outcome to divergent and historically rooted patterns of protest dynamics in both countries and discuss the implications of our findings in the conclusion.

description: We compute the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) soft function for the production of a color-neutral final state at the LHC within the rapidity renormalization group (RRG) framework to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We use this result to extract the universal renormalized TMD beam functions (aka TMDPDFs) in the same scheme and at the same order from known results in another scheme. We derive recurrence relations for the logarithmic structure of the soft and beam functions, which we use to cross check our calculation. We also explicitly confirm the non-Abelian exponentiation of the TMD soft function in the RRG framework at two loops. Our results provide the ingredients for resummed predictions of pT-differential cross sections at NNLL' in the RRG formalism. The RRG provides a systematic framework to resum large (rapidity) logarithms through (R)RG evolution and to assess the associated perturbative uncertainties.

“The River is Our Street.” Intersectional Rural Protest in Brazil’s Amazon
Creators: name: Horn, Claudia
Publisher: name: Sociologica
Year: 2023

description: In Northern Brazil, the Tocantins-Araguaia industrial waterway project seeks to expand the export corridor for soy directly through the Amazon Forest, threatening to destroy ecosystems and local traditional communities’ socioeconomic base. However, dispersion, precarity, and isolation from political participation impede the collective organizing of those in rural “sacrifice zones” who are affected by this infrastructure project. This paper investigates how social movements address this difficulty, analyzing a boat caravan of labor leaders from diverse movements representing fisher, family farmer, Indigenous, Quilombola, women, youth, and church groups against the construction of the waterway. It argues that the campaign’s intersectional practices — recognizing autonomous cultural identities, building solidarity around crosscutting threats to production and social reproduction, and formulating unifying inclusive demands and alternatives — address the collective action problem in these peripheries. Moreover, the campaign reflects labor organizations’ environmentalization, i.e., the incorporation integration of regional, agrarian, and environmental justice concerns.

subject: Scoping review

description: Statement of problem. Composite resins are widely used in the restoration of dental elements and have optical and mechanical properties compatible with the remaining structures. Another technical variation has been applied using composite resins as cementing agents. Due to the high content of inorganic fillers, the resins have a high viscosity, interfering with the necessary fluidity for cementation procedures. For this reason, the preheating of these materials allows a reduction in their viscosity and a higher conversion rate. The literature reports preheating, but with considerable variables, such as different devices, temperatures, heating times, among others. Thus, there is no consensus that guides the clinician who wishes to use the pre-heated composite resins for cementing indirect parts. Purpose. To identify the different types of devices, temperatures, and time used for heating composite resins for cementing indirect restorations. Materials and methods. Studies were selected from the PubMed/ MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, Web of Science, Scopus, and Livivo databases, in addition to searching the gray literature. Studies that preheat composite resins for cementing indirect restorations were selected. There were no restrictions on the type of study, year of publication or language. The following data were extracted: preheating techniques, devices used for heating, temperatures and preheating times. Results. 298 studies were identified in the databases. A total of 17,800 citations were detected using Google Scholar, where only 200 most relevant were considered for analysis. After removing duplicates, 270 articles remained for selection. 14 articles were considered relevant and were included in the final evaluation. The evaluation of the included articles showed seven articles that reported similar preheating techniques for composite resins using the Calset device (Addent Inc.) in 5 minutes. Different preheating devices and times were used in the other articles, and the temperature ranged from 54°C to 68°C. Conclusions. The present scoping review presents the various techniques used for preheating composite resins for cementation. There are different preheating devices and there is also no standardization regarding the heating time or temperature. Among the properties evaluated in the studies, the preheating of the composite resins led to a better performance of the material for the cementation of indirect restorations.

description: In this work, we investigate the thermophysical properties, including thermal inertia, roughness fraction and surface grain size of OSIRIS-REx target asteroid (101955) Bennu by using a thermophysical model with the recently updated 3D radar-derived shape model (\cite[Nolan et al., 2013]{Nolan2013}) and mid-infrared observations (\cite[M$\ddot{u}$ller et al, 2012]{Muller2012}, \cite[Emery et al., 2014]{Emery2014}). We find that the asteroid bears an effective diameter of $510^{+6}_{-40}$ m, a geometric albedo of $0.047^{+0.0083}_{-0.0011}$, a roughness fraction of $0.04^{+0.26}_{-0.04}$, and thermal inertia of $240^{+440}_{-60}\rm~Jm^{-2}s^{-0.5}K^{-1}$ for our best-fit solution. The best-estimate thermal inertia suggests that fine-grained regolith may cover a large portion of Bennu's surface, where a grain size may vary from $1.3$ to $31$~mm. Our outcome suggests that Bennu is suitable for the OSIRIS-REx mission to return samples to Earth.

description: From windows that face the street and the canal, one glimpses a room in disorder where there is no one. There is the sense of an attack, a fight, perhaps even a bomb that has exploded. In another room, a portrait of Julian Assange, the controversial founder of WikiLeaks, who later rose to fame and the horrors of justice (or injustice). The military confrontation that seemed latent in the exploits of the Australian cyber-activist and has been misrepresented by so many ‘glamorous’ dystopian visions is aflame with the ferocity and brutality of an ‘old-fashioned’ war. In the rooms overlooking the street and the canal, Cuban artist Abel Herrero (Havana, 1971) records it all, with an eye that remembers the pre-1989 nightmares of the Cold War’s ‘balance of terror’ and the threat of atomic mushrooms. This text is a presentation of the Venetian exhibition Abel Herrero’s “Cromocracy” on view at the Castello Gallery in Venice (22 April-30 September).
Movement Dilemmas under Authoritarianism: National and Local Activism in Russia

description: Scholars of social movements are often skeptical about the applicability of their analytical tools and theories, mainly developed for advanced democracies, to the analysis of civic and political life in authoritarian states. In this article, I will apply the micro-sociological strategic interactionist perspective to analyze the national political oppositionist movement and local grassroots mobilizations in Russia and show that movement players and activists in authoritarian states have agency, face dilemmas, and make strategic choices informed by their understanding of the situation and the adversaries they interact with.

Approximations in Sobolev Spaces by Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions

description: Recently, there is a growing interest in the spectral approximation by the Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions (PSWFs) $ψ_{n, c},\, c>0.$ This is due to the promising new contributions of these functions in various classical as well as emerging applications from Signal Processing, Geophysics, Numerical Analysis, etc. The PSWFs form a basis with remarkable properties not only for the space of band-limited functions with bandwidth $c,$ but also for the Sobolev space $H^s([-1,1])$. The quality of the spectral approximation and the choice of the parameter $c$ when approximating a function in $H^s([-1,1])$ by its truncated PSWFs series expansion, are the main issues. By considering a function $f\in H^s([-1,1])$ as the restriction to $[-1,1]$ of an almost time-limited and band-limited function, we try to give satisfactory answers to these two issues. Also, we illustrate the different results of this work by some numerical examples.

Explaining Russian Strength in Central Asia
Creators: name: Bacon, Terence William
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Despite the best efforts and billions of dollars spent by the United States to gain influence and access in Central Asia during the war in Afghanistan, Russia has become stronger in Central Asia. This paper examines how Russia has increased their strength in the region. The aftermath of September 11, 2001 brought the US military to Central Asia and revitalized Russian interest in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Rising oil prices and growth in the Russian economy gave Russia the ability to increase their economic and military strength in Central Asia. I will show how Russian economic connections to remittances, trade and foreign direct investment are irreplaceable to some economies in Central Asia and how they are used by Russia to influence the region. I will also show how the connection to the security in and around each country has allowed Russia to become stronger.
Construction versus Realism? The Unrealized Potential of Communicative Constructivism
Creators: name: Knoblauch, Hubert
name: Pfadenhauer, Michaela
Publisher: name: Sociologica
Year: 2023

description: The ideas linked to the formulation “Social Construction of Reality” (SoCo) have spilled over from the Social Sciences and Humanities to public discourses, e.g. on gender and truth, and form in epistemic terms the crossroads of the polarization of liberal and anti-liberal world views par excellence. By focusing on the “academic debate” about the theory of Social Construction of Reality we argue that the polemical misuse of “social construction,” quite common in public and political discourse, also characterizes New Realism. This recent philosophical movement frames its innovative character first by reframing the problem of the social construction of reality from social theory to philosophy and such failing the basic idea of the entire approach, and second, by referring not to Social Construction of Reality but to a specific understanding of “Social Constructionism.” However, the numerous critiques of SoCo over time have led to Communicative Constructivism (CoCo) as a comprehensive reformulation within Sociology of Knowledge. As an empirically grounded theory, CoCo relates to new forms of realisms constituted in their opposition to SoCo.

Concepts of Realism in Constructivist Approaches
Creators: name: Eberle, Thomas S.
Publisher: name: Sociologica
Year: 2023

description: The thesis of this paper is that the debate on realism versus constructivism is misconceived as there exist many different variants of constructivism, each of which operates with a certain, albeit minimalist social ontology. Different concepts of realism are carved out in phenomenology, Berger and Luckmann’s social constructivism, ethnomethodology, relational constructionism, and, finally, communicative constructivism. A differentiated view is recommended.

Modeling the structure of magnetic fields in Neutron Stars: from the interior to the magnetosphere

description: The phenomenology of the emission of pulsars and magnetars depends dramatically on the structure and properties of their magnetic field. In particular it is believed that the outbursting and flaring activity observed in AXPs and SRGs is strongly related to their internal magnetic field. Recent observations have moreover shown that charges are present in their magnetospheres supporting the idea that their magnetic field is tightly twisted in the vicinity of the star. In principle these objects offer a unique opportunity to investigate physics in a regime beyond what can be obtained in the laboratory. We will discuss the properties of equilibrium models of magnetized neutron stars, and we will show how internal and external currents can be related. These magnetic field configurations will be discussed considering also their stability, relevant for their origin and possibly connected to events like SNe and GRBs. We will also show what kind of deformations they induce in the star, that could lead to emission of gravitational waves. In the case of a twisted magnetosphere we will show how the amount of twist regulates their general topology. A general formalism based on the simultaneous numerical solution of the general relativistic Grad-Shafranov equation and Einstein equations will be presented.

Necessary Entanglements: Reflections on the Role of a “Materialist Phenomenology” in Researching Deep Mediatization and Datafication
Creators: name: Hepp, Andreas
name: Couldry, Nick
Publisher: name: Sociologica
Year: 2023

description: This article unpacks the deep engagement of media and communication studies with questions of social construction and the material infrastructures on which media’s role in social construction is based. For that reason, for communication scholars, there is no contradiction between constructivism and realism, and the notion of a materialist phenomenology seems necessary and unproblematic. We take materialist phenomenology further as a concept via the notion of entanglements, drawing on Karen Barad. Then we go on to explore two contemporary debates in media and communication studies which illustrate its broader commitment to understanding the materiality of social construction: first, the broad phenomenon of deep mediatization (Couldry & Hepp, 2016) whereby all aspects of social processes now take mediated forms, and second, the particular process of data colonialism (Couldry & Mejias, 2019) whereby life itself is increasingly the object of colonial appropriation in the form of extracted data.

description: The electric current helicity density $\displaystyle χ=\langleε_{ijk}b_i\frac{\partial b_k}{\partial x_j}\rangle$ contains six terms, where $b_i$ are components of the magnetic field. Due to the observational limitations, only four of the above six terms can be inferred from solar photospheric vector magnetograms. By comparing the results for simulation we distinguished the statistical difference of above six terms for isotropic and anisotropic cases. We estimated the relative degree of anisotropy for three typical active regions and found that it is of order 0.8 which means the assumption of local isotropy for the observable current helicity density terms is generally not satisfied for solar active regions. Upon studies of the statistical properties of the anisotropy of magnetic field of solar active regions with latitudes and with evolution in the solar cycle, we conclude that the consistency of that assumption of local homogeneity and isotropy requires further analysis in the light of our findings.
