The emotional impact of generative AI: negative emotions and perception of threat

ABSTRACT Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly expanding field that aims to develop machines capable of performing tasks that were previously considered unique to humans, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. The recent release of several tools based on AI (e.g. ChatGPT) has sparked debates on the potential of this technology and garnered widespread attention in the mainstream media. Using a socio-psychological approach, in three studies (total N = 410), we demonstrate that when faced with Generative AI’s ability to reproduce the complexity of human cognitive capabilities, participants reported significantly higher negative emotions than those in the control group. In turn, negative emotions elicited by a specific type of AI (e.g. generative AI) were associated to the perception of threat extended to AI technologies as a whole, understood as a threat to various aspects of human life, including jobs, resources, identity, uniqueness, and value. Our findings emphasise the importance of considering emotional and societal impacts when developing and deploying advanced AI technologies and implementing responsible guidelines to minimise adverse effects. As AI technology advances, addressing public concerns and regulating its usage is crucial for the benefit of society. To achieve this goal, collaboration between experts, policymakers, and the public is necessary.

Circles of Coastal Sustainability and Emerald Growth Perspectives for Transitional Waters under Human Stress

Emerald Growth is an overarching sustainable development framework for transitional waters situated between rivers and open sea. The emphasis on connectivity and ecosystem-based management as the underlying principles differentiates Emerald Growth from conventional approaches to managing transitional waters. The study’s primary objective was to conjoin the Emerald Growth concept with the Coastal Circles of Sustainability methodology, an analytical framework to assess indicators of critical processes determining the sustainability of the coastal zone. We hypothesized that applying the CCS is an apt approach to categorizing the Emerald Growth’s aspects using Lake Liepāja, a fresh-to-brackish water lagoon on Latvia’s Baltic Sea coast, as a case study. Based on the document scoping findings on Lake Liepāja’s hydrology, ecology, biodiversity, nature conservation, and management, we addressed the knowledge gaps through the field survey, 4 workshops, and 18 in-depth semi-structured interviews with local stakeholders. The research results show that the challenging socio-economic situation is a crucial obstacle to Emerald Growth in the Lake Liepāja area. Subsistence salary and Housing affordability (Economic Welfare aspect), Population growth and Aging population (Demographic aspect), and Traditional practices (Identity aspect) received the lowest sustainability score (Bad). The results imply that considering the Emerald Growth conditions and drivers for transitional waters worldwide, finding a ‘one-fits-all’ recipe to ensure their sustainability is impossible. The decision-makers, stakeholders, and external experts agreed that for Lake Liepāja, the priority was to bring back to nature part of the polder system, clean the bottom sediments from Soviet-era pollutants, and enhance the transboundary cooperation with Lithuania. These measures would set the right conditions for future Emerald Growth in the area.

Развитие социально-педагогических технологий воспитания государственно-ориентированной личности в высших учебных заведениях

The subject of the research is methodological, social, educational, and other tools aimed at socializing student youth and forming their self-determination and active civic position in the process of studying in educational organizations. The purpose is to propose methodological recommendations for the development of socio-pedagogical technologies aimed at the formation of a state-oriented personality in the process of education and upbringing in higher and secondary vocational education organizations. The research methodology is based on the applied and fundamental research of students’ patriotic, spiritual, moral, and civic education, the formation of civic identity and certain aspects of socio-pedagogical technologies used in the development of students’ social activity. A set of measures for classroom and extracurricular work aimed at the formation of a state-oriented personality has been developed. The proposed methodological, social, and educational tools can become the basis for the development and implementation of educational plans and concepts of patriotic education of student youth that meet the requirements of the humanitarian concept of education and aim at educating a state-oriented personality.

“Like Being in Purgatory”: Cultural Identity Mapping Centers Hmong American Experiences of Biculturalism

This study examines what it means to be bicultural to Hmong American emerging adults living in central California. Twenty-four participants ( Mage = 21.92 years) constructed a cultural identity map that portrayed what it means to them to be “Hmong American,” described both their cultural identity map content and their process of constructing it, and completed the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM). Grounded theory analysis of cultural identity maps and accompanying conversations reveals the pervasiveness of bifurcated biculturalism, or the experience of having split selves. For participants in this study, perceived cultural incompatibility between Hmong and American cultures rendered it necessary to possess two (and sometimes more) distinct cultural identities, and required—for some, almost constant—frame-switching to manage these identities. This article offers an in-depth portrait of three illustrative cases, which represent diversity in terms of gender, social class, and MEIM score. Altogether, findings contribute to scientific understanding of the complex and contradictory nature of biculturalism for Hmong American emerging adults, and speak to the link between ethnic stereotypes and bicultural identity development. Methodologically, this study highlights the utility of identity mapping to examine psychological experiences of biculturalism and other aspects of identity about which people may have hidden, complex, and potentially contradictory stances.

Employing biomolecular analyses and radiocarbon AMS chronologies to disentangle complex mortuary assemblages: Reinterpreting the Kane mortuary complex enigma in greater Cahokia

The acknowledged importance of documenting legacy assemblages led to efforts in the mid-1990s to re-examine such collections from Illinois. In some cases this involved applying traditional methods and emerging techniques to address complex questions of context, chronology, and aspects of identity for American Indian ancestral sites and individuals. These efforts included the Kane Mounds mortuary complex salvaged in the early 1960s and long interpreted as a late Mississippian mortuary area related to Cahokia. Drawing on available data from original field and analysis records, past biomolecular analysis, and combined with an evolving understanding of the people and culture history of the American Bottom, we use results from isotopic analyses and radiocarbon AMS chronologies obtained prior to 2018 to disentangle complex multicomponent mortuary settings. These studies revealed the mortuary importance of Kane spanned 1500 years, from as early as 500 BCE into the 14th century CE, a period that saw a major shift in diet with the increased consumption of maize and a population comprised of individuals local to the American Bottom and as well as immigrants. Available biomolecular information and radiocarbon AMS chronologies demonstrate both temporal and geographic diversity within the Kane mortuary complex, as well as continuity in the importance of this mortuary location.

Behind Every Good Lie Is a Grain of Truth

Abstract Drawing on the experiences of the 2020 Taiwanese and Moldovan presidential elections, this article develops a framework to better understand whether certain aspects of identity can predict a constituency’s demand for foreign disinformation during contentious election cycles. The model bridges key tenets of Monroe E. Price’s “market for loyalties” metaphor with geographic information system applications to identify areas where a constituency’s willingness to exchange loyalty for disinformation is expected to be salient within these postimperial polities. The article concludes by outlining the theoretical implications for focused policy interventions in Taiwan and Moldova.

Bridging the gap between theory and implementation: National language policy and documentation of mother tongue

Language is an essential aspect of identity and culture, playing a significant role in shaping a nation's socio-political landscape. This is why nations are continuously making effort to preserve their indigenous languages. This paper investigates the grey area of theory and implementation of the national language policy in the preservation, revitalization, documentation of mother tongue. It discusses the challenges such as lack of adequate instructional materials and qualified teachers in indigenous language, facing indigenous languages in Nigeria and how the implementation of language national language policy can promote mother tongue revitalization beyond the classroom. The paper adopts Language ecology model and David Crystal's theory of language revitalization to investigate the study. The paper adopts descriptive analysis methodology, which will use current and historical data to identify gaps in the study. The paper concludes that bridging the gap between theory and implementation of national language policy in Nigeria is a complex but a necessary and essential national task that involves the government allocating resources to produce adequate instructional materials and training teachers to be qualified in teaching indigenous languages. Also government and stakeholders should intensify efforts outside the classroom, preserving mother tongue and revitalizing endangered languages requires a multifaceted approach that extends well beyond the classroom, which involves fostering a cultural environment where the language is valued and used in daily life, creating intergenerational connections, leveraging technology and documenting linguistic resources.

The development and diversity of religious cognition and behavior: Protocol for Wave 1 data collection with children and parents by the Developing Belief Network.

The Developing Belief Network is a consortium of researchers studying human development in diverse social-cultural settings, with a focus on the interplay between general cognitive development and culturally specific processes of socialization and cultural transmission in early and middle childhood. The current manuscript describes the study protocol for the network's first wave of data collection, which aims to explore the development and diversity of religious cognition and behavior. This work is guided by three key research questions: (1) How do children represent and reason about religious and supernatural agents? (2) How do children represent and reason about religion as an aspect of social identity? (3) How are religious and supernatural beliefs transmitted within and between generations? The protocol is designed to address these questions via a set of nine tasks for children between the ages of 4 and 10 years, a comprehensive survey completed by their parents/caregivers, and a task designed to elicit conversations between children and caregivers. This study is being conducted in 39 distinct cultural-religious groups (to date), spanning 17 countries and 13 languages. In this manuscript, we provide detailed descriptions of all elements of this study protocol, give a brief overview of the ways in which this protocol has been adapted for use in diverse religious communities, and present the final, English-language study materials for 6 of the 39 cultural-religious groups who are currently being recruited for this study: Protestant Americans, Catholic Americans, American members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jewish Americans, Muslim Americans, and religiously unaffiliated Americans.

Mirza Athar Baig’s Ghulam Bagh: A Post-Neo-Colonial Reading

Mirza Athar Baig is known for his unique style in Urdu fiction. In his novel "Ghulam Bagh" Mirza Athar Baig shows the essence of his best philosophy regarding the treatment of life, consciousness, self identity, characterization, psychological conflict and many other aspects. The philosophy of enlightenment is also present in the novel because enlightenment opposes outdated customs and preferences and considers collective human civilization as the ascension of humanity. Apart from power and domination, the philosophy of human relations is also prominent in the novel. The novel reflects the post-colonial era and the present era; therefore, modern technology and terms are widely used in the novel. Mirza Athar Baig has also experimented with several techniques. Cultural phenomena are central to postcolonialism, so it also studies the differences between colonial and colonized cultures. The novel is written in a post-neo-colonial style, which is different from the traditional style.

Dehumanization and the Association With Nonsuicidal Self-Injury and Suicidal Ideation in an Incarcerated Population.

Background: Self-injurious and suicidal thoughts create critical concerns for incarcerated populations, yet relatively little is known about how they are formed and perpetuated within US jails. Dehumanization has been presented as a potentially novel risk factor toward aspects of self-harm; thus, this study assessed the perception of dehumanization from officers by those currently incarcerated. Methods: Across two jail settings (n = 410), self-report surveys were administered asking questions relating to perception of officer dehumanization alongside aspects of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicidal ideation. Results: The findings indicate that perceived officer dehumanization is associated with NSSI thoughts, actively seeking NSSI, and suicidal ideation in jail, but not with NSSI in jail. Limitations: These data are cross-sectional, thus future work should examine the temporal order of these relationships. Conclusions: Perceptions of officer dehumanization appear to be clinically relevant in jail settings; therefore, future research should longitudinally determine how dehumanization imparts suicide risk.

Dialektika Ruang dan Identitas dalam Heterotopia Foucault dan Profilisitas Moeller-D’Ambrosio

This study aims to explore the interplay between space and the construction of identity. It employs descriptive library research methodology to elucidate the elements and aspects of both space and identity. It draws upon Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopia for the understanding of space and the theory of profile formulated by Hans-Georg Moeller and Paul J. D’Ambrosio. The analysis delves into these theories and their interrelation concerning identity formation. The authors conclude that from Foucault's perspective, space can be seen as having distinctive characteristics, tied to axio-ontological components that need to be fulfilled before entering a heterotopic space. This position is then intersected with Luhmann’s second-order observation, resulting in a dynamically linked profilic identity to a particular space. This paper finds that in Foucault’s thinking, heterotopia emphasises the impossibility of space being separated into a label. Space as a site (“cultural framework”) may still be enforced by designing it to fulfill certain functions. As a consequence, it becomes increasingly difficult for these spaces to be seen as relevant to society’s way of being today. In the light of Foucault and Moeller-D’Ambrosio, the space now needs to be seen as a form of space (espace–a referential frame) that is profilic.

Solutions of certain initial-boundary value problems via a new extended Laplace transform

Abstract In this article, we present a novel extended exponential kernel Laplace-type integral transform. The Laplace, natural, and Sumudu transforms are all included in the suggested transform. The existence theorem, Parseval-type identity, inversion formula, and other fundamental aspects of the new integral transform are examined in this article. Integral identities define the connections between the new transforms and the established transforms. In order to solve specific initial-boundary value problems, the new transforms are used.

THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURAL CODES ON SOCIETY

Culture is a dynamic and multifaceted aspect of society that shapes individuals' beliefs, behaviors, and interactions. At the core of cultural dynamics are cultural codes, which serve as symbolic systems that convey shared meanings and values within a community. The influence of cultural codes on society is profound and far-reaching, impacting various facets of social life, including communication, norms, traditions, and identity. This article explores the intricate relationship between cultural codes and society, delving into how these codes shape perceptions, attitudes, and social structures. By examining the role of cultural codes in societal development and cohesion, we aim to uncover the profound impact of culture on the collective consciousness and functioning of communities.

Literature Review: Efektivitas Electronic Word of Mouth (e-Wom) dalam Mempengaruhi Minat Beli Produk

Marketing research increasingly emphasizes the role of e-WOM in influencing consumer interest to buy products. Factors such as source credibility, number of reviews, platform type, and review content have been discussed in previous research on what influences e-WOM. This research is a descriptive qualitative research that uses literature studies as an approach. The results outline research from five journals that discuss e-WOM and how it affects consumer buying interest. These findings include the effect of the quality, quantity, and credibility of e-WOM on consumer buying interest. In the discussion, it was emphasized that consumer buying interest involves psychological, social, economic, and emotional components. E-WOM is also considered more trusting than official advertising because it utilizes aspects of identity and emotion, The result is that, by influencing the process of research, consideration, and consumer decisions, e-WOM has a positive impact on product buying interest by developing useful strategies to utilize it to achieve their business goals in the digital era.

Unleashing the Transformative Power: Nusantara Indigenous Folktales Framework Revolutionizing ESL Learning

Folktales are invaluable repositories of cultural heritage, reflecting the identity and values of indigenous communities while transmitting traditional knowledge. Serving as educational tools, they offer engaging resources for learners of all ages, contributing to education, language acquisition, and character development. Recognizing the importance of preserving intangible heritage, the Nusantara Indigenous Folktales Framework (NIFF) emerged from a collaborative effort between language specialists at Universiti Teknologi MARA Kedah in Malaysia and Universitas Merdeka Malang in Indonesia. This framework, employing a unified Edu-Tale approach, unites the Semai tribe from Malaysia and The Tengger tribe from Mount Bromo, Indonesia, aiming to preserve intangible heritage through formal education. To assess the impact of the Nusantara project on ESL learners, a questionnaire was distributed to 47 students actively participating in the initiative. The survey aimed to gather feedback on students' experiences with Nusantara folktales and their perceptions of the impact on overall motivation to learn English. Feedback from ESL learners was overwhelmingly positive, with students expressing enjoyment and acknowledging a significant enhancement of their overall motivation to learn English through engaging with Nusantara folktales. The Edu-Tale approach employed in the NIFF framework proved effective in creating a positive and impactful learning experience. The Nusantara Indigenous Folktales Framework demonstrates its potential as a transformative tool in ESL learning. Beyond its educational benefits, it fosters respect for intangible cultural heritage and raises awareness about the importance of safeguarding such valuable aspects of cultural identity. The positive feedback from students underscores the framework's effectiveness in enhancing motivation and engagement in English language learning.

The translation of a glossary based on a novel as a means of studies on the Amazon

The research project that motivated this work aims to address the various aspects of Amazonian literature, culture, identity, language, and fauna to English speakers. Its primary objective is to disseminate this knowledge by translating a glossary written entirely in Portuguese by the reviewer André Fillipe Fernandes, which is an integral part of the novel Wolvesland by Dalcídio Jurandir. To achieve this, we have adopted Britto's methodology (2006c), which strives to capture as many significant characteristics of the source text as possible in the target language. This approach is influenced by the fidelity concerns discussed in Britto (2002), emphasizing the importance of maintaining a high degree of correspondence between the source and target texts for a faithful translation. The purpose of this presentation is to examine the translation strategies employed, including omission, addition (Menezes 2017), and word class alteration, which can be valuable for other translators and researchers. Additionally, we created a pictionary, images incorporated alongside specific glossary entries, facilitating the construction of their meaning.

Comic Elements as a System of Queer Expression: A Close Analysis of Maia Kobabe's Gender Queer: A Memoir

The paper analyses the relationship between queer and comics, with a particular emphasis on Maia Kobabe's graphic memoir Gender Queer: A Memoir. It explores the narrative significance of comics and the convergence of queerness within the medium, framed within the theoretical frameworks of Scott McCloud, Richard Walsh, Ramzi Fawaz, and Darieck Scott. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate how words and images interact to communicate Maia's gender and sexual identities in a way that defies accepted cultural norms. It analyses and exhibits the ability of the visual narrative to convey nuanced facets of queer identity, ranging from representations of physical discomfort during medical exams to the presentation of romantic fantasies defying binary gender norms. The paper concludes that Maia employs an effective tool to convey the subtleties of eir queer identity through the symbiotic relationship between words and pictures, based on a careful analysis of eir narrative. Beyond the confines of conventional language, a more comprehensive expression of gender and sexuality is made possible by the interaction of words and images.

Situations that prompt teachers in problem-based curricula to reflect on their beliefs, identity and mission

Teachers have different perceptions of how to enhance student learning. Whereas some take a teacher-centred perspective, others lean more towards a student-centred approach. Many studies in higher education have invoked Korthagen’s onion model (2014) to explain how teachers’ perspectives can impact their teaching practices. Spanning six interrelated layers, this model contains both outer (environment, behaviour, competencies) and inner (beliefs, identity, and mission) aspects. Focusing essentially on teachers’ outer aspects, previous studies have paid scant attention to how particular situations affect teachers’ inner aspects and, consequently, how teachers perceive student-centred learning. In this descriptive qualitative study, we explored situations that encouraged or discouraged teachers to embrace student-centred beliefs, identities and missions. We held three focus-group discussions with 18 teachers from two Indonesian medical schools, performing a thematic analysis of the data thus obtained. We found that certain situations made teachers reflect on their inner aspects, which either favourably or adversely affected their acceptance of a student-centred learning approach. Teachers’ outer aspects (i.e. their prior problem-based teaching and learning experiences, learning situations from their own training as well as clinical duties) strongly interacted with their inner aspects, thereby shaping their teaching perspectives. Understanding how specific situations can influence teachers’ inner aspects might help institutions to design faculty development programmes that address teachers’ specific educational needs.
