The ‘Pragmatic cooperation’ in the Belt and Road Initiative: the Sino-Turkmen natural gas engagement

ABSTRACT This article examines China’s ‘pragmatic cooperation’ approach in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) using the Sino-Turkmen natural gas engagement as a case study. The disputes between China and Turkmenistan about the natural gas pricing mechanism, supply and prospective development have worsened after the request for pragmatic cooperation within the BRI. This article suggests that depoliticized economic diplomacy – such as advocating for pragmatic cooperation – does not necessarily avoid political disputes. Instead, mutual awareness is the key to achieving a win–win result.

Social problem analysis of gender inequality in Donggala district

<span lang="EN-US">The difference in treatment between women and men affects the lives of women and men themselves, either directly or indirectly in society, is a source of gender problems. Discussing gender issues is not a problem for women facing men, but gender issues are a common community problem, which requires a process of mutual awareness in the division of roles and positions that does not ignore the rights and obligations of women and men in the family, community and other lives. This study aims to produce an analysis of gender problems in people's lives in various fields of development. The method used is to conduct a qualitative analysis of the gender profile data contained in regional apparatus organizations in Donggala Regency. The results of the study indicate that gender issues are an important issue in the implementation of development in Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, this can be seen from the gender profile data so that an analysis of this is needed. The results of this analysis are expected to be the basis for the preparation of development programs in the fields of health, economy and employment, as well as in the fields of politics and decision-making. It is concluded that the high maternal mortality rate, the large number of poor female family heads and the low political participation of women are the main problems that are difficult to resolve.</span>

Practice of anaesthesia for electroconvulsive therapy

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an established therapeutic method for the treatment of severe mental disorders refractory to pharmaco- and psychotherapy. ECT is a first-line treatment option in delusional disorders, severe depression with acute suicidal tendency or life-threatening catatonia. Usually, ECT is performed as a treatment series. Under short-term anaesthesia and muscle relaxation, tonic-clonic seizures are induced using an external stimulation electrode. Convulsion can be exerted by uni- or bipolar stimulation using an electric charge up to 1000millicoulomb (mC) with an amperage of 900mA. Muscular relaxation is necessary to prevent injuries caused by uncontrolled movements during convulsion. During paralysis, consciousness is blocked by general anaesthesia, although ECT is associated with antegrade amnesia for seizure induction and the seizure itself. In the context of ECT, the ideal hypnotic should be characterised by rapid onset, short duration of action and negligible anticonvulsive effects (i.e., least possible impact on seizure quality and duration). As mutual awareness of psychiatric and anaesthesiologic techniques is essential for safe and effective conduction of ECT, this article presents ECT both from the psychiatrist's and the anaesthesiologist's perspective.

Ensuring situational awareness of the moving objects group using one reference navigation station

Problem statement. In the conditions of radio suppression of the global navigation satellite systems, situational awareness of a group of moving objects can be provided using local navigation. Known methods based on the use of local navigation to ensure situational awareness require the mutual exchange of information between the objects of the group, and used several reference stations to determine the coordinates. Purpose. To develop and research of a method of mutual awareness of each moving object about the spatio-temporal state of all moving objects of the group without organizing additional information exchange between the objects of the group, based on the use of one reference navigation station with known local coordinates. Results. A method for ensuring situational awareness of a group of moving objects is proposed. Method based on the use of one reference navigation station equipped with a radio direction finder. The method ensures positioning accuracy of the follower object on board the lead object up to 10 m when the follower object is within the interfocal space of the goniometric-difference-range-measuring system formed by the reference navigation station and the lead object. When the follower object leaves the interfocal space degradation of the accuracy characteristics up to 100 m is observed, which is associated with an increase in the values of the geometric factor. In this case, the accuracy of estimating the delay of interrogation and response signals should be no worse than 5×10-7 s, and the measurement error of the azimuth angle in the radio direction finder of the reference navigation station should not exceed 3-5°. Practical significance. The proposed method can be used in practice to ensure situational awareness of a group of subscribers of a local communication system for special purposes.

Circularity as a Climate Change Mitigation Strategy in the Building Sector: The Stakeholder’s Involvement in the Interconnected Life Cycle Phases

There is an evident relationship between climate change and the building sector through reciprocal environmental impacts. The circular economy is fitted into this relationship as a mitigation strategy in the building sector, thanks to its nature of life cycle perspective consideration, support for stakeholder collaboration, and the ideology of waste minimization, reduction of natural resource consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. This article aims to conduct two subsequential systematic literature reviews to evaluate the status in the scientific literature about the circular economy as a climate change mitigation strategy in the building sector and to find the place taken in the scientific literature about the stakeholder’s involvement toward circularity transition in the abovementioned link. As a result of the methodological approach, publicly available and reliable publications have been identified and analyzed based on the publication year and territory. The results indicate an increasing scientific literature contribution about the context, but the stakeholder concept is considerably taken less place; thus, it is a gap in the scientific literature. The stakeholder focal point, which the innovativeness of this article lays down, needs more attention in academic research, thus in the sector with the strengthening collaboration and mutual awareness among stakeholders.

Rapid evidence review: Policy actions for the integration of public health and health care in the United States.

To identify policy actions that may improve the interface of public health and health care in the United States. A rapid review of publicly-available documents informing the integration of public health and health care, and case examples reporting objective measures of success, with abstraction of policy actions, related considerations, and outcomes. Across 109 documents, there were a number of recurrent themes related to policy actions and considerations to facilitate integration during peace time and during public health emergencies. The themes could be grouped into the need for adequate and dedicated funding; mandates and shared governance for integration; joint leadership that has the authority/ability to mobilize shared assets; adequately staffed and skilled workforces in both sectors with mutual awareness of shared functions; shared health information systems with modernized data and IT capabilities for both data collection and dissemination of information; engagement with multiple stakeholders in the community to be maximally inclusive; and robust communication strategies and training across partners and with the public. While the evidence does not support a hierarchy of policies on strengthening the interface of public health and health care, recurrent policy themes can inform where to focus efforts.

School Community Empowerment Program for Conservation of Riparian Vegetation around the Bedog River in Godean Sleman

Recently, Bedog rivers are almost no longer able to carry out their functions due to the increasing interaction between humans and rivers. As a strategic program to keep the Bedog River sustainable, the riparian vegetation conservation program was implemented on the school community in the Godean Region, Sleman, Yogyakarta started at SMPIT Alam Nurul Islam. This program aims to provide mutual awareness as well as a good and complete understanding of the dynamic balance between human life and the river environment as well as strategic steps for riparian vegetation conservation efforts that need to be carried out. To achieve the program aims, three approaches were implemented, i.e. (1) developing SMPIT Alam Nurul Islam Yogyakarta as a pioneer of the school community concern in the conservation of riparian vegetation, (2) disseminating awareness to river conservation through efforts to preserve riparian vegetation to the school community, and (3) the involvement of all parties in the preservation of riparian vegetation as a key system of river conservation. A series of activities were successfully carried out including: learning and research exercises on riparian vegetation profiles, implementation of "riparian class" equipped with learning modules, holding several focus group discussions with teachers and communities around the Bedog river, introduction to river bio-monitoring for students, and "river care" activities by cleaning out trash and outbound. As a program outcome, ESD-based learning on riparian vegetation conservation is included in the biology subject at SALYO particularly in practical work. Also, there are efforts to use the communal land next to the school as an educational forest along with riparian vegetation conservation land.

Empowering Indonesian students’ regulation of feelings and attitudes in EFL learning through action-oriented reflections

ABSTRACT This article focuses on Indonesian students’ regulation of feelings and attitudes in EFL learning. It considers one research question i.e. to what extent can Indonesian students regulate their feelings and attitudes in EFL learning? To answer the question, classroom action research was adopted. The participants of the research were 24 first semester students of a Primary School Teacher Education Study Program at a university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The study lasted for six monthswhere students submitted five reflections and completed a pre- and post-participation questionnaire. Results from data analyses indicated that the students had negative feelings and attitudes towards English before participating in the action research but showed more positive feelings and attitudes as a result of their participation. They also demonstrated increased ability to regulate their feelings and attitudes towards learning English, independently of the teacher’s supervision. This was attributable to: (1) the teachers’ and students’ mutual awareness of the importance of identifying and regulating students’ feelings and attitudes in EFL learning; and (2) the students’ focus on self-regulated learning strategies rather than academic achievements. This study offers pedagogical implications for EFL/ESL teachers and suggestions for future researchers.

Bohm’s Dialogue and Reciprocal Trust

Abstract: The intention to communicate builds the architecture of intersubjectivity that involves the staging of the individualistic world of the subject. The mutual intentionality and awareness are present in the communication process in which the communicative intention of the broadcaster becomes mutual and shared knowledge. Trust is hardly declared; it is usually learned from the regularity of the communicative exchange actions that take place in the meetings. It can be distinguished between personal commitments and anonymous commitments. The former concern relationships of trust supported by or expressed in social ties established in circumstances of coexistence. The assumption of trust is also generalized for meetings with strangers in public places and also for virtual meetings on social networks. The predominant situation of modernity is the pluralist position: man as a social animal prefers to share agreement more than disagreement. Pluralism undermines false assurances in favour of uniform but also reasoned social consensus. We will focus on dialogue because trust is important in meeting people who have to decide and make agreements. Therefore, taking into account the generalization of the fiduciary relationship in dialogue, two ‘theories’ will be considered: that of Bohm (On dialogue) and that of Moscovici and Doise (on Consent and dissent). Dialogue, especially in business meetings, must be identified with the 'politics of dialogue'. Trust is assumed in every initial meeting in which a perception of "established trustworthiness" is implemented. We are in an era of democracy in which the need for choice and dialogue is strong: in Bohm's dialogue there are rules that serve to move forward by listening, discussing, deciding nothing, suspending judgment and for this very reason new ideas and hypotheses have always the chance to emerge. Keywords: mutual trust, conflicting individualism, constitutive trustworthiness, generalized assumption of trust.

Threatened in the making: institutional consolidation and precariousness in the independent performing arts in Europe

ABSTRACT The independent performing arts are establishing themselves as an independent organizational field operating across Europe. The focus is not on artistic form or aesthetics, but on structural and organizational features that define the field institutionally in many countries of Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western Europe alike. The presented consideration of these features is specified in an analysis of the socio-economic situation in the field, especially in light of the new challenges of the Coronavirus pandemic. Subsequently, the actions taken by different advocacy groups to improve the precarious situation across countries and their effectiveness in governance are described to illustrate international coalition patterns, the development of mutual awareness and isomorphic alignment in the structuring of the field beyond nation-state borders. The research is based on 1031 survey responses from artists and cultural professionals as well as expert interviews with the management staff of the interest groups of independent performing arts from 12 European countries (This paper is an elaboration of the following work published in French: Eder, Thomas Fabian. 2022. “Rapport Intermédiaire : Les Arts Du Spectacle Indépendants Entre Consolidation Institutionnelle et Précarité – Une Perspective Comparative Européenne.” D’Allemagne d’Aujourd’hui (No 241)).

Quid Pro Quo Authorship: Characteristics and Implications

Quid pro quo authorship (QPQ) is a type of gift authorship in which authorship credit is exchanged in a mutually beneficial agreement. Such practices are considered to be unethical, but incentives to publish can nonetheless make QPQ appealing. Terminology to describe the QPQ phenomenon can differ across scholarly communities, making a thorough analysis of the attention to QPQ difficult. This article uses content analysis to conduct an in-depth examination of a corpus of scholarly literature on QPQ. This research seeks to ascertain information about the nature of QPQ and how it is perceived relative to other types of unethical authorship practices. Results support three defining characteristics of QPQ: mutual awareness, mutual agreement, and mutual benefit. Content analysis reveals two forms of QPQ: authorship-for-goods and authorship-for-authorship. Findings reinforce the notion that QPQ is a distinct form of gift authorship that is related to coercion authorship and honorary authorship. Implications for the scientific enterprise, academia, and society are presented, since as with other forms of gift authorship, QPQ falsifies the scholarly record. Finally, suggestions for future directions such as education for researchers are presented.

Transforming the 5G RAN With Innovation: The Confluence of Cloud Native and Intelligence

Intelligence and cloudification are widely recognized as key driving forces in the evolution of 5G radio access network (RAN). This paper presents a promising architecture framework for the evolution of 5G radio access network, enabled by a deep integration with cloudification and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) technologies. To accommodate the diversified scenarios and services and handle the complexity of the 5G network in a flexible and efficient manner, the architecture framework highlights three concepts: convergence of RAN and cloud, RAN empowered by hierarchical AI capabilities, and mutual awareness between RAN and services. The key design aspects and technologies that realize those concepts are discussed systematically. Two typical use cases including the RAN slice resource allocation optimization and RAN-aware video service assurance, are demonstrated along with the simulation or lab test results to validate the potential of the architecture framework.

Research on the Rural Mutual Aid Elderly Care Model of “Time Bank”

This paper elaborated on the concept of “Time Bank” and mutual support pension, introduced its development at home and abroad, and analyzed the possibility and necessity of implementing this model in rural areas of China. During the operation of the “Time Bank” mutual support pension model, there were problems such as a lack of publicity and participation, incomplete legal system, low risk resistance, and limited sustainable development due to insufficient investment. It is suggested that the promotion of “Time Bank” mutual support pension in rural areas should focus on improving publicity channels, enhancing mutual aid awareness, improving the legal system to enhance risk management ability, and raising funds through multiple channels to ensure sustainable development by combining multiple models.

Social Dynamics Survival of the Paser Ethnic in Subalternity Relations in Moving the Capital of the State Indonesia

The relocation of the capital city of Indonesia in Panajam had an impact on the Paser ethnicity the original ethnicity that inhabited the location. These ethnic groups experience a pattern of subalternity relations, such as their residential land and livelihoods being suddenly set, not being involved in decision-making processes, being prohibited from accessing the zero point, and not given space to become local workers in the work of the National Capital development project. This pattern of subalternity relations then developed into a communal identity as the spirit of this community to carry out emancipatory struggles. Aim this research is explore social dinamics of Paser Community Survival as subaltern group in the IKN project. The research method used is a qualitative method with data collection in the form of interviews, FGDs, and participatory observations. The data were analyzed by finding meaning patterns/themes and presented narratively. The results of the study found the social dynamics of resilience and sustainability through social dialogue, advocacy communication, network mobilization, use of social media, and cultural movements. This research concludes that the dynamics of survival and survival are pursued through advocacy dialogue to gain capacity building and recognition of Paser culture. It is hoped that this community needs to build mutual awareness to continue the struggle for its existence through community empowerment efforts in the form of capacity building.

Connected design decision networks: Multidisciplinary decision support for early building design LCA

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has become the standard method to evaluate environmental impact throughout the life cycle of buildings. However, detailed data about the future building as well as knowledge about the mutual influence of decisions concerning the various disciplines involved are often missing in early design phases, otherwise known to bear the highest potential for emissions savings. Hence, a meaningful basis for decision making is lacking.This study suggests a method to digitally represent decisions and their interdependencies in early design phases and visualize their possible consequences for the life cycle of the future building. The method is based on identification of relevant processes and tasks concerning architecture and Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC). Decisions trees of these tasks are used as a point of departure. Connecting the decision trees to a multidimensional, Connected Design Decision Network (CDDN) enables an interdisciplinary design team to pinpoint strategic decision nodes with comparatively more interdependencies with other subsets and high influence on LCA results. We believe that a transparent decision making in early design stages can be valuable to both the design team as well as clients and contractors and bear potential for an increased mutual awareness minimizing late and expensive redesigns.

Communication Empowerment Of Aceh East Coastal Communities In Maintaining Manggrove Ecosystems (Study Of Meunasah Asan Village, Madat District, East Aceh Regency)

Empowerment communication as a new approach in community empowerment with the spirit of voicing the voiceless, building the empowered, placing humans as subjects not objects. Contribute to the development process in the context of the diffusion of innovation as a means of modernization with the presence of information technology to make it easier. Powerlessness is a reflection of the failure of the human-centered development process. This study aims to identify and describe the communication of coastal community empowerment in Meunasah Asan East Aceh Village in increasing active participation in maintaining the mangrove ecosystem. Revealing socio-economic changes in the participatory development process as an illustration of the empowerment of coastal communities in maintaining mangrove ecosystems with an empowerment communication approach, communication actions based on local wisdom, social welfare and strengthening social capital. Data were collected through observation, interviews, focus group discussions and documentation. The results showed; when the community's mindset changes at the Gampong level in utilizing, maintaining the mangrove ecosystem is able to bring it to a different pattern of behavior than before. This change can be seen in the process of helping themselves to get out of the stigma as poor marginalized coastal communities by utilizing and maintaining the potential of mangroves and other coastal areas. Active participation shows the community's empowerment in communicating which drives a living condition based on the existence of religious values, norms, customs, culture as local wisdom that is mutually agreed to strengthen social welfare and social capital. Social capital works internally in the Meunasah Asan community in forming exclusive social ties as a social bridge with external parties who have relatively different characteristics. The pattern of relationships that occur is bound by trust, mutual understanding and shared values ​​that bind the community in acting together efficiently and effectively. The role of the community caring for mangroves is to create a public space for coastal communities to communicate, express, so as to foster mutual concern. Social groups as the most effective forum for empowerment enable individuals to organize themselves in groups so that a dialogical process occurs that fosters and strengthens mutual awareness.

Openness in Situations of Joint Attention

Openness is a distinctive feature in the episodes of joint attention. In such an episode, everything is in the open, nothing is hidden (PEACOCKE, 2005, p. 298). But what is this metaphorical description supposed to grasp? On the common knowledge approach, openness is characterized by an infinite list of iterated perceptual knowledge attributions. This approach overloads the cognitive costs of joint attention. On the relational approach, openness is a primitive notion; the phenomenon results from the fusion of perceptions between the agents, a singular experience of co-percipience that explains joint attention for free. This paper aims to argue for an intermediate approach to explain openness. We offer here an account of openness in terms of non-wellfounded situations. We shall argue that it not only fully characterizes mutual awareness in a finite adequate way but that it also preserves the low cognitive burden of the co-presence situation.
