Caregiver-child Neural Synchrony: Magic, Mirage, or Developmental Mechanism?

Young children transition in and out of more and less synchronous states with their caregivers across physiology, behavior, and brain activity, but what do these synchronous periods mean? One body of caregiver-child two-brain studies using fNIRS finds that individual, familial, and moment-to-moment behavioral and contextual factors are correlated with caregiver-child neural synchrony, while a separate body of literature finds that neural synchrony is associated with positive child outcomes. Taken together, it is tempting to conclude that caregiver-child neural synchrony may act as a key developmental mechanism linking children’s experiences to their healthy development, but many questions remain. In this brief review, we synthesize key findings and open questions from two-brain caregiver-child studies using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), which is uniquely well-suited for use with caregivers and children, but also laden with unique constraints. Throughout, we highlight key questions and best practice recommendations to optimize two-brain fNIRS to examine these critical developmental mechanisms from assumptions guiding study design to final analysis. We particularly emphasize the need to consider immediate and global stressors as context for interpretation of neural synchrony findings, and the need for full inclusion of socioeconomically and racially diverse families in future studies.

PENDEKATAN TAFSIR A. HASAN: ANALISIS TEKS

This article examines the context and method of tafsir by A. Hasan Bandung (1887-1958) based on socio-cultural approaches and the essence of his juristic and hermeneutical views and epistemological postulate, which raises important aspects of socio-legal and ethical reform as its leading voice and proponent. This is highlighted from his interpretative work of Qur’anic exegesis such as Tafsir al-Furqan, Tafsir al-Hidayah, Tafsir Surah Yasin, al-Djawahir, as well as from his column in local magazine and journal such as Himayat al-Islam, Pembela Islam and etcetera. The research is qualitative in nature, of the type of literature/library research, and hermeneutical survey. The finding shows that A. Hasan has outlined an unprecedented method of contextual interpretation of the Qur’an that reflected his rational understanding of the text. This is manifested from his arguments that celebrated the views of classical and contemporary jurist on broad aspects of Islamic law, jurisprudence, speculative theology, philosophy, religious faith, spirituality and Shariah. His interpretation was intrinsically presented in the context of structural kalam in the form of question and answer that addresses and debates diverse communal issues. It reveals the strength of his views based on ijtihad (independent reasoning) that formulate the entire juristic opinion from broadly authoritative and argumentative construct of maslahah (the common good) dan maqasid syariah (the higher objective of Islamic law).

Phraseological unit na zubakh (on the teeth) in the light of new contextual interpretations

Linguistic studies, related to the emergence and life of phraseological units, show the importance of a neological trend in their investigation, which allows you to see the fragments of the picture of the world relevant to speakers, and the variety of ways used to verbalize ideas about them. However, the meanings of neofraseologisms, recorded in dictionaries, do not always adequately reflect the real picture of their speech functions. The article considers a neological unit whose spectrum of semantic interpretations is far from being unambiguous. The contexts of the National Corps of the Russian language, illustrating the active usage of the phrase “na zubakh” (“on the teeth – gave it one’s all”), show that it has developed quite clear syntagmatic connections that speak in favor of at least two possibilities of its interpretation - with dictionaries fixating only one of the versions. A stable collocation with the verbs to pull out, to win, etc., on the one hand, and contextual supports, united by the meaning “to win, to achieve a goal," on the other, gradually form a different meaning of the idiom, very typical of sports discourse. It characterizes sport competition, excitement, manifestation of perseverance, stamina, etc. In the course of its functioning in speech, it is gradually “magnetized” by the semantics of “win”, “at any cost”, “by all means”. All this requires the need to seriously correct the modern semantics of the phraseological unit in the dictionary.

CORPUS-BASED ANALYSIS OF FIRST-PERSON PRONOUN IN NIKI’S SONG

This study aims to analyze the use of first-person pronouns in NIKI's song lyrics, focusing on their frequency, pattern, and context of usage. The research employs a descriptive qualitative-quantitative approach, combining corpus analysis with contextual interpretation. The data consists of song lyrics from NIKI's albums and popular tracks, formatted into a compatible text file (.txt) for analysis using AntConc software version 4.3.1. Data collection involved gathering lyrics from reliable sources, cleaning the data, and preparing it for analysis. The analysis process included identifying the frequency of first-person pronouns, observing distribution patterns through the concordance feature, and interpreting the context and meanings of pronoun usage. The findings reveal a dominance of the pronoun "I" (589 occurrences) over "We" (138 occurrences), indicating a focus on individual experiences and emotions in NIKI's lyrics. The study identifies various patterns, including "I + to be," which reflects deep emotional states, self-reflection, and regret; "I + modal," which conveys feelings and desires; and "I + verb," which directly expresses actions and emotions. Additionally, the "We" patterns, such as "We + To Be" and "We + Modal," illustrate collective experiences, possibilities, and relationship dynamics. The results highlight the contrasting roles of individual and collective perspectives in NIKI’s songwriting, enriching the emotional depth of her lyrics.

A Model for the Development of Learning in a Virtual Geological Field Trip as a Modified Novelty Space

Abstract The purpose of this study is to propose a “modified novelty space” model for learning in virtual geological field trips. To do so, three field sites in Busan National Geopark were selected to explore geological characteristics. VR-based virtual field trips (VFTs) were developed for participation. These VFTs consisted of basic, plus, and advanced steps. The modified novelty space model redefines the novelty space for the context of virtual learning environments (VLEs) by subdividing it into cognitive, geographic, psychological, technical, and social factors. The cognitive domain refers to the curriculum content in geology. The geographic domain involves contextual interpretations of places. The psychological domain increases familiarity based on methods to provide stability. The technical domain refers to the ability to handle skills. The social domain refers to emotional sharing among people in relationships. This model proposes five elements with the aim of decrease in modified novelty space ultimately contributing positively to virtual learning.

Pioneer Learning From Failure: How Competitor Entry and Consumer Reports Improve Learning From Failure Repositories

While learning is key for pioneers—firms introducing new products without existing competitors—a lack of competitors limits learning opportunities. To compensate, pioneers in safety-critical industries frequently resort to failure repositories—databases that track failure reports in an industry. However, the sheer volume, inconsistency, and unstructured nature of such failure reports make them difficult to use without clear referents that provide a benchmark and context for interpretation. We investigate how the entry of a competitor enhances pioneers’ learning effectiveness by offering such a stable basis for comparison and analysis. Specifically, we observe changes in failure reports that support our theory that pioneers adjust their learning processes in response to the altered availability and nature of failure information in a repository after competitor entry. Consumer failure reports, which provide unfiltered and unique information, are crucial for understanding and addressing problems that may result in failure. Our analysis of the medical device industry shows that pioneers learn more effectively after a competitor enters the market. Pioneers learn more effectively from consumer reports, especially when not interspersed with less valuable sources, such as expert and internal firm reports. Notably, pioneer learning after competitor entry leads to lower reported alleged future injuries and product malfunctions. These findings contribute to repository-based learning by showing how competition can improve effectiveness and suggesting that distinct consumer feedback is particularly valuable for pioneering firms. Besides adding to the literature on organizational learning, this study also highlights the role of competition in fostering innovation and improving safety.

The Memory-Method-Perspective Model: Three Dimensions to Thinking Historically

Historical thinking is an integrative and reflexive process, yet existing pedagogical frameworks often isolate its components, leading to conceptual fragmentation. This study introduces the Memory-Method-Perspective (MMP) model as a synthesis-oriented alternative to Seixas’ influential six-part model. Anchored in the philosophies of Collingwood and contemporary cognitive theories, the MMP model reframes historical thinking into three interactive dimensions: Memory, encompassing substantive and procedural knowledge; Method, which ensures analytical precision and contextual interpretation; and Perspective, fostering ethical and critical reflexivity. The model’s triadic structure provides a unified lens through which historical inquiry transcends procedural rigidity to engage with the past as a dynamic interplay of thought, action, and moral reflection. By emphasizing integration and ethical responsibility, the MMP model not only addresses the fragmentation in contemporary historical education but also equips educators and students with tools to combat misinformation and cultivate nuanced historical consciousness. This work invites further dialogue on the philosophical and practical implications of holistic frameworks in history education.

Tafsir Ayat Al-Quran sebagai Pendidik

This study examines the role of interpretation of Qur'anic verses as an educational instrument in the context of contemporary Islamic learning. Through literature analysis and case studies, this study explores how the interpretation of Quranic verses can serve as an effective pedagogical tool in transmitting moral, ethical, and spiritual values to students. The main focus is given on the methodology of interpretation that is relevant to the needs of modern education, as well as its impact on the understanding and internalization of Islamic teachings by the younger generation. The results of the study show that a contextual and integrative interpretation approach has significant potential in increasing the effectiveness of Islamic education. These findings highlight the importance of adapting traditional interpretation methods to contemporary pedagogical approaches to create more meaningful and relevant learning experiences. The implications of this research include recommendations for the development of a more holistic and responsive Islamic education curriculum to the challenges of the times, as well as teacher training in using the interpretation of the Quran as a dynamic and transformative educational tool.

(Dis)Connecting with the USA: How African international students relate with diverse communities and adapt to the United States

ABSTRACT Traditional theories conceptualized immigrants’ adjustment to new societies at the cultural and individual/psychological levels and did not consider the role of socio-historical and political contexts. Through ten in-depth interviews, we examined how colonial discourses about Africa and US racial politics shaped African international students’ relations with White Americans, African Americans, and Non-White/Non-Black/Non-Native Americans of Other Races and Ethnicities and, consequently, their adaptation to the US. Findings reveal that based on contextual interpretations of bodies, African students exercised their agency in differentially (dis)connecting with the various host society groups and strategically adopting identities (Africanness, Blackness, and otherness) in adjusting to the US. Hence, our study underscores the significance of an embodied approach when examining adaptation—neglecting this perspective obscures vital (dis)connections that unfold within the contextually nuanced realm of body politics.

Implementation of Hadith as a Foundation for Deradicalization in Contemporary Islamic Education Curriculum

Radicalism and religious extremism have become global issues that pose significant challenges to the world of education, especially in the context of Islam. Islamic education is one of the most effective tools to counter radicalism. However, an overly rigid and dogmatic approach to education can sometimes exacerbate the problem. This study aims to build a hadith-based curriculum as a foundation for deradicalization. This study uses a qualitative method with descriptive-analytic data analysis techniques. The study’s results indicate several hadiths that, if integrated into the Islamic education curriculum, can strengthen the values of peace, and tolerance, and prevent radicalism. Implementing these hadiths in educational materials can provide a more balanced understanding of religion and foster critical attitudes and tolerance among students. Effective implementation requires the selection of relevant hadiths, contextual interpretation, development of teaching materials, and good teacher training. This study is expected to provide specific benefits for educational institutions in designing a curriculum that functions as an instrument for deradicalization based on religious teachings. Thus, this study contributes to creating a generation that is moral, tolerant, and able to face global challenges without losing its moderate religious identity.

What Can we Learn About Human Nature from Interacting with Strangers? Relationship Type Determines Behavior in the Dictator Game

Behavioral decision-making research has been exceptionally useful in the quest of the social sciences to understand human nature. A frequent assumption of this research is that using strangers as anonymous interaction partners allows for the clearest demonstration of basic human nature. But a diverse array of literature – from social and clinical psychology to ethology – suggests that a stranger is far from a “baseline partner.” We argue against the overreliance on strangers in economic games and that instead of one baseline partner, typical relationships should fall into basic types of partners, all eliciting different behaviors. Two high-powered experiments (Ns = 848 and 2400) in which participants played a hypothetical dictator game with one of sixteen partners (e.g., mother, friend, stranger) found particular clusters of interaction partners in which the possible partners were grouped into different and intuitively meaningful relationship types (i.e., loved ones, intimate partners, companions, contractual partners, infrahumanized others). The clusters suggest a typology of basic human relationships and predict behavior even when controlling for relationship distance. The findings help to calibrate the outcomes of past dictator games utilizing strangers and offer an interpretative context with a system of relationship types.

Improvement of operational monitoring of the psychological state of a person in prolonged isolation

Introduction. The article describes a methodological scheme for operational psychological monitoring of the crew in isolation, simulating the effect of space flight factors on humans. Examples of intermediate experimental results in the form of qualitative operational data (psychological profiles of participants) are given. The methodological approach can be applied in the practice of operational monitoring of work teams (crews) whose professional activities take place in conditions of social isolation and/or the action of extreme environmental factors. The aim of the study is to test a comprehensive, minimally invasive method of psychological monitoring of participants in an isolation experiment to obtain operational data. Materials and methods. The SIRIUS-23 experiment is the fourth stage of the 365-day SIRIUS international project. The participants in the simulated isolation were 6 people, 2 men (±34.5) and 4 women (±30.5). The basic principles of building a diagnostic scheme for psychological monitoring are complexity and an individual approach. The scheme includes three structural blocks (score scale, semi-structured confidential conversation, computerized techniques), each of which is aimed at solving a specific task. Results. The authors presented the depersonalized psychological data of two anonymized participants of the experiment as intermediate results of the study. Psychological profiles contain generalized operational data, divided by time for ease of analysis into three equal parts — trimesters. The use of three diagnostic blocks allows us to describe the dynamics of changes in the psycho-emotional state of specialists working in isolation: the appearance of adverse signs of mental asthenization. Limitations. The study is limited to a small sample of subjects. Conclusion. As a result of the application of the methodological scheme, each of its structural blocks complements each other. For example, certain signs of asthenization in daily recordings of negotiations, which are obtained using a score scale (negatively colored negative reactions, parasitic words, etc.), are confirmed by data from computer techniques and correspondence. The use of a three-part methodological scheme is possible in areas of professional activity where people are under the influence of extreme factors. Thus, there is an interpretative context (an understanding of the reasons is being formed, the basis for making recommendations is being laid). Ethics. The experimental program was approved by the section of the Academic Council and approved by the Biomedical Ethics Commission at the Russian Scientific Center — Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences (protocol No. 643 dated 07.07.2023).

The Bible and the Mission: Mission of Japanese Missionaries in Korea under Japanese Imperialism, 1896–1921

This article examines the contrasting ways in which Korean Christians and Japanese missionaries interpreted the Bible during the Japanese occupation of Korea (1896–1921). Drawing on primary sources from both Japanese and Korean perspectives, the article highlights how biblical interpretation became a site of both ideological struggle and resistance. While Japanese missionaries often employed biblical narratives to legitimize Japanese imperialism and discourage Korean nationalism, Korean Christians found solace and inspiration in the Old Testament’s themes of liberation, drawing parallels between their own situation and the Israelites’ struggle for freedom. The Japanese government's prohibition on reading the Old Testament further exacerbated these contrasting interpretations, with Japanese missionaries generally supporting the ban and Korean Christians finding ways to resist it. By analysing these divergent interpretations, the article illuminates the complex interplay between mission, Bible, and imperialism in early twentieth-century colonial context of Korea. The article argues that the Korean case study offers a powerful historical example of how important it is that missionaries not only defend their own use of the Bible, but also remain open to the contextual interpretations of others.

The Convergence of Artificial Intelligence and Human Marketing: A Framework for Enhanced Customer Insights and Personalization

This article examines the transformative integration of artificial intelligence and human expertise in modern marketing analytics, focusing on customer insight generation and personalization strategies. We present a comprehensive framework for human-AI collaboration in marketing operations through a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative analysis of customer data from 127 retail organizations and qualitative interviews with 34 marketing professionals. The findings reveal that organizations implementing AI-enhanced customer analytics in conjunction with human-driven creative strategy achieved a 47% improvement in customer engagement metrics and a 31% increase in conversion rates compared to traditional approaches. The article demonstrates that while AI excels at real-time pattern recognition and predictive modeling of customer behavior, human marketers provide crucial emotional intelligence and contextual interpretation that significantly enhance the effectiveness of personalization efforts. The article introduces the Dual Intelligence Marketing Framework (DIMF), which outlines optimal integration points between AI capabilities and human expertise throughout the customer journey. The framework addresses critical challenges in implementation, including technical infrastructure requirements, talent adaptation, and ethical considerations. This article contributes to both theoretical understanding and practical application of AI in marketing, offering actionable insights for organizations seeking to leverage the complementary strengths of artificial and human intelligence in their marketing operations.

Correlation between serum uric acid level and atrial fibrillation in patients with hyperthyroidism on medical data analysis context of IoT.

Dysfunctions in metabolism and endocrine systems are outcomes of disruptions in human physiological processes, often leading to disease onset. External factors can hinder the human body's innate capacity for self-regulation and healing, particularly when immune responses are compromised, allowing these factors to interfere with normal bodily functions directly. To explore the effect of uric acid expression water in blood on the occurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients with hyperthyroidism, the expression level of uric acid in the blood and other physiological indexes were compared between patients with no symptoms of atrial fibrillation and patients with hyperthyroidism with symptoms of atrial fibrillation, to find the correlation between them. A group of 112 hyperthyroidism patients who were admitted to our hospital from September 2019 to March 2020 were chosen and split into two groups. The control group consisted of 56 individuals (21 men and 35 women) aged between 16 and 86 years old, with an average age of 46.23 years (± 7.63). The observation group consisted of 56 individuals (24 males and 32 females) between 15 and 79 years, with an average age of 53.44 years (± 8.91). In the patients who were not treated with drugs before hospitalization the disease course and symptoms varied. The patients' clinical medical and demographic data were recorded and the patients' physiological indexes were obtained through blood tests and analysis. The differences between the two groups were analyzed by renal function, blood lipid index, thyroid function, and cardiac ultrasound, and these influencing factors were analyzed by regression analysis. The research adhered to ethical norms and ensured clear data presentation by using a rigorous technique to compare uric acid levels and physiological indicators among various patient groups. The study concentrated on the validation, repeatability, and contextual interpretation of data to provide a robust and rigorously scientific comparison. The most common is the increase of uric acid in the blood, which can induce other diseases, and atrial fibrillation is one of the most common diseases of cardiovascular diseases.

Determining the Effect of Feedback Quality on User Engagement on Online Idea Crowdsourcing Platforms Using an AI model

The success of idea crowdsourcing platforms relies on fostering a collaborative environment that encourages active user participation, measured by the quality and quantity of contributions and interactions. However, understanding the impact of peer interactions on user engagement and the innovation process remains challenging. While previous studies have focused on sentiment analysis, the contextual interpretation of peer feedback and its effects on engagement and innovation have yet to be explored. To address this knowledge gap, we propose a feature-based AI model that categorizes peer feedback based on its quality and polarity. Our model achieves 96% accuracy in identifying feedback quality (constructive vs. non-constructive and toxic vs. non-toxic) and feedback polarity (negative vs. positive). This contextual feedback categorization provides a foundation for quantitatively analyzing the impacts of feedback on user engagement and the innovation process. Our results show that positive and constructive peer feedback has a significantly positive effect, while toxic and negative peer feedback has a significantly negative impact on the process of idea generation, idea evaluation, and idea selection. Our results also indicate that inexperienced users are more susceptible to toxic feedback than experienced users. Based on these findings, we suggest a recommendation and reward system for incentivizing constructive feedback and preventing toxic feedback.

Reinterpreting Iddah for Career Women: Najmuddin Tufi�s Maqashid Sharia Approach

This study aims to reinterpret the concept of iddah (waiting period) for career women using a maqashid sharia approach based on Najmuddin Thufi�s thought. Iddah is an Islamic ruling intended to protect family and societal welfare, yet it presents challenges for modern career women. The traditional rules of iddah, which restrict activities outside the home, can impact women�s social and economic well-being, particularly for those who work. This research employs Najmuddin Thufi�s approach, which emphasizes public interest (maslahah), to explore whether the rules of iddah require adjustment for career women without compromising the fundamental objectives of Islamic law. Using a qualitative methodology with a library research approach, this study gathers data from literature on Islamic law, maqashid sharia and Najmuddin Thufi�s theory. The study finds that reconstructing iddah for career women is feasible by applying maqashid sharia principles, particularly through Thufi�s emphasis on maslahah. In the context of working women, traditional iddah rules�which limit activities outside the home�present challenges, especially concerning economic and social well-being. Based on the principle of maslahah, the iddah rule can be adapted without disregarding the core objectives of sharia, allowing career women to continue working during the waiting period as long as they uphold personal dignity and adhere to Islamic legal regulations. This approach offers a contextual and adaptive interpretation of Islamic law that aligns with modern developments while preserving the objectives of Sharia. The study concludes that iddah for career women can be reconstructed to bridge the gap between religious obligations and contemporary socio-economic needs.

Evidence from bare verbs for the future versus non-future split in Creoles

Abstract Vincentian Creole makes a future/non-future temporal distinction on the basis of the categorisation proposed in several studies, according to which languages combining present and future make a past/non-past distinction and those using the same form for past and present make a future/non-future tense opposition. In Vincentian Creole examples of absolute tense, underspecified (or unmarked) predicates do not generally obtain a future interpretation: only readings in the past tense (for dynamic predicates) or the present (for non-dynamic predicates) are available. Thus, predicates in the future tense are unambiguous regardless of the lexical aspect of these predicates, unlike the context of past and present tense interpretations which I explored in my previous column. Evidence from other English-related creoles supports this claim.

Contextual Interpretation (Study of Epistemology, History, Variety of Books and Examples of Interpretation)

In the last few decades, interpretation with a contextual approach has begun to occupy a central position in the paradigm of interpreting the Qur'an. This is because the classical method of interpreting the Qur'an which is static and more textual is considered no longer compatible in responding to the reality of the era which is developing very complexly. This paper utilizes the library research method to examine the epistemological reasoning of contextual interpretation. The results of this study found that contextual interpretation is a form of approach in interpreting the Qur'an which starts from the argument that every text has a context that binds the meaning behind it. Thus, the meaning of a text of revelation (God's message) will only be found if an interpreter has a deep understanding of its context, then translated and elaborated based on the reality faced. In a different expression, contextual interpretation cannot be separated from the understanding of three horizons, namely between text, context, and contextualization.

Wawasan Al-Qur'an Tentang Kesehatan Fisik dan Mental: Kajian Tafsir Mawḍu'ī

This research aims to describe mawḍu'ī (contextual) interpretations of Al-Qur'an verses related to health. The type of research used is library research, using descriptive-analytical methods, with a mawḍū'ī interpretation approach. The research results show that the Al-Qur'an provides an in-depth view of the concept of health, including the concepts of physical, mental and spiritual health. In the context of physical health, several verses in the Qur'an teach about physical health, including teachings about regulating diet, adequate rest and cleanliness. Meanwhile, in the context of mental and spiritual health, several verses in the Qur'an teach about mental health, including teachings about remembrance. In regulating diet, Allah, the Most Wise, has permitted many foods and drinks, while He has prohibited only a few. This is a manifestation of His mercy and compassion towards His servants.
