Groove is a pleasant feeling that compels people to move their bodies along with music. In the past, there was some consensus among both musicians and researchers that the main factor in inducing this feeling is onset asynchrony of sounds. However, recent studies have asserted that no-asynchrony is the condition that will obtain the highest groove. The current study examined whether no-asynchrony exclusively elicits the highest groove. In Experiment 1, we measured the groove increment of a backbeat drum pattern as a function of the asynchronies between bass guitar and hi-hat cymbal sounds. Upon evaluation, the scores of no conditions exceeded those of the synchronous condition. However, the condition with slight bass guitar precedence over the hi-hat achieved an approximately equal score to the condition with complete synchrony, and that score was higher than the ones achieved with bass delay. In Experiment 2, we measured the participants’ sensitivities to timing discrimination. The results confirmed that the amount of bass precedence in Experiment 1 was perceptible to the listeners. These findings suggest that complete synchronization is not always the best condition to achieve groove and that listeners prefer perceivable asynchronies in some cases.

The background of this study is to examine the profile of child terrorist and the motivation behind the crime of terrorism in children by using child development theory and sosial ecology theory. This research is a qualitative study using a phenomenology approach. The phenomenology approach aims to describe the meaning of the life experience of a terrorist child so that the level of belief or paradigm of the terrorist child changes, so to learn and understand it must be based on the point of view of a terrorist child as a subject who directly experiences the incident. The subject of this research is a child who commits a terrorist crime. Data collection techniques by conducting deep interviews, observation and documentation study. This research was conducted at the Juvenile Penitentiary Class I Tangerang (LPKA). The results of this study indicate that the profile picture of a child terrorist can be assessed based on the child's speaking style, behavior, motivation, beliefs, and experiences in the past. The main factor for a child committing a terrorist crime comes from the lack of figures and supervision from parents in their teens so that children look for other figures to be used as examples.

Personal reflections on radiation hormesis for the past 50 years are presented. The causes of ignoring and rejections of this phenomenon by international and national bodies and by radiation protection establishment are analyzed. The opposition against nuclear weapons and preparations for nuclear war was probably the main factor in inducing the concern for adverse effects of low doses of ionizing radiation, a byproduct of activism against the nuclear weapon tests. UNSCEAR was deeply involved in preparation of the scientific basis for cessation of nuclear test, and contributed to elaboration of the LNT assumption, which is in contradiction with the hormetic phenomenon. However, this authoritative body recognized also the existence of radiation hormesis, termed as ‘adaptive response.’ The political and vested interests behind exclusion of hormesis from the current risk assessment methodology are discussed.

Untuk itu dalam penelitian ini dilakukan survei permukaan tanah dan ekskavasi. Hasil ekskavasi di Situs Yomokho diperoleh temuan berupa fragmen gerabah polos maupun hias. Berdasarkan analisis data diketahui bahwa fragmen gerabah hanya ditemukan di lapisan tanah bagian atas yang berwarna hitam. Kondisi Bukit Yomokho berupa lereng bukit yang miring. Diasumsikan manusia pendukung Situs Yomokho tinggal di rumah panggung, tidak semua bagian bukit dipilih untuk mendirikan tempat tinggal, tetapi disesuaikan dengan kondisi lereng bukit dan kondisi tanah. Pemilihan Situs Yomokho sebagai hunian masa lalu didasarkan pada lokasinya yang dekat dengan danau dan didukung oleh keberadaan hutan sagu.

Medieval Arab linguists traditionally began their scientifc works with questions of inflection [declension]. Case inflection is the main factor that determines the word’s grammatical function in a sentence and the meaning that it carries. It is well known that there are three cases in the Arabic language with special diacritical markings ( تاكرحHarakaat). The ability of a word to have a particular case leads to its categorization as “complete”, “incomplete” or “non-declining”. The endings of a word in a sentence may change due to the [influencing] factor, or even if the [influencing] factors change, their ending may not change. The frst of them is called «mu’rab» which means «declension (conjugation)» and the second – “mabniy” which means “immutability, non-inflection”. Change under the influence of factors [at the end of the word] is called “i’rab” (that is inflection) and non-change under the influence of factors is called “bino” (that is «non-inflection in cases). “I’rab” is a marking that represents an influence factor at the end of a word. The ending of a word as a result of this factor can be “marfuu’ ” [damma-nominative], “mansuub” [fatha-accusative], “majruur” [cassative] or “jazm” [sukunconditional]. Linguists identify the types of “damma”, “fatha”, “kasra” and “sukun” according to the movements at the end of non- declining words. Arab linguists study words by dividing them into two groups in accordance with the case change: these are the words “mabni” and “mu’rab”. If a word is associated with another word or an active factor precedes it but it does not change its case ending (the last pronunciation of the word does not change) such words are called “mabni” and these words do not change at all. Non-declining words include all prepositions, the past tense verb, the imperative mood of the verb, the verb to which the afrmative “nun” is attached or the verb with the ending feminine “nun” and some nouns. Verbs and prepositions do not change initially. It should be noted that the auxiliary words are not changed because there is no need for that. Conjugation is only necessary when there is a basic structural meaning. Auxiliary words by themselves never make sense (semantic meaning)

Above-ground biomass was allometrically estimated to quantify the amount of mangrove species in selected quadrats of Xuan Thuy National Park. Physicochemical properties of surrounding waters and soils were measured and treated stochastically by correlational analysis with estimated biomass values. Correlation results suggested that qualities of surrounding waters and soils are not the principal inhibitors of mangrove growth in Xuan Thuy. The available historical records infer that the main factor of mangrove loss in the past lay on land reclamation for shrimp aquaculture. In addition, results of correlation analysis showed geographical coincidence of mangrove fragmentation with influence area of water channeling used for aquaculture activities. Furthermore, the distribution of anomalous values of metals concentration was corresponding with anthropological activities associated to clam aquaculture and sand extraction. Based on the aforementioned analysis and the information on anthropological activities in the buffer zone of Xuan Thuy, were provided basic information on inherent environmental stressors of ecosystems in Xuan Thuy National Park. Sinh khối trên mặt đất đã được ước tính theo phương pháp tương quan sinh trưởng để đưa ra số lượng các loài đước trong các mẫu vuông được lựa chọn tại Vườn quốc gia Xuân Thủy. Các đặc tính hóa-lí của những vùng nước và đất xung quanh đã được đo đạc và xử lí ngẫu nhiên bằng cách phân tích tương quan với những giá trị sinh khối ước tính. Kết quả tương quan cho thấy rằng chất lượng nước và đất xung quanh không phải là những thước đo chính cho tốc độ phát triển cây đước ở Xuân Thủy. Những ghi chép cũ đã kết luận rằng việc sử dụng đất để nuôi tôm là tác nhân chính dẫn tới suy giảm loài đước trong quá khứ. Bên cạnh đó, kết quả phân tích tương quan cho thấy sự trùng hợp về mặt địa lý giữa sự phân mảnh của loài đước và những vùng nước bị ảnh hưởng do việc nuôi trồng thủy sản. Hơn nữa, sự phân bố bất thường của các giá trị đo mức độ tập trung kim loại cũng tương ứng với các hoạt động nuôi trồng thủy sản và khai thác cát của con người. Những phân tích nêu trên và nghiên cứu về hoạt động của con người tại vùng đệm của Xuân Thủy sẽ cung cấp những thông tin cơ bản về những mối đe dọa môi trường hệ sinh thái tại Vườn Quốc Gia Xuân Thủy.

Physalia Physalis

The occurrence in the summer of 1945 of a swarm of Physalia physalis L. off the south-west coast of the British Isles has initiated a survey into records of its appearance on the Atlantic coasts of Europe during the past 100 years. Unpublished records for 1912, 1913, 1934 and 1935 were discovered and are listed with those already known. The 1945 strandings are considered in detail in conjunction with meteorological data for the period involved. It is concluded that winds, rather than water movements, are the main factor in transporting the swarms towards the British Isles and it is considered likely that the swarms come from the Azores-mid-Atlantic region rather than from the Canaries-Gibraltar district.Associated with the Physalia were Lepas fascicularis and L. pectinata, some Velella, a few turtles (Caretta caretta), and possibly an Opah fish (Lampris luna), all of them, with some reservation respecting the last-named, surface organisms that would come under the same meteorological influences as the Physalia.A living specimen of Physalia gave an opportunity to observe the method of feeding of which few previous first-hand accounts exist. The capture of the prey by the dactylozooids and its subsequent digestion by the gastrozooids is illustrated by photographs from life and is described in some detail. It is suggested that the rolling of the pneumatophore from side to side, dipping the crest in the water, is a calm-weather habit directed to keeping moist the upper surface exposed to the air.

During the 20th century, Congress experienced two main shifts in partisan conflict. Early decades were marked by a substantial decrease in party divisiveness, reaching a nadir by mid-century. Beginning in the 1970s, partisanship has increased to the point that Congress is viewed as “hyper-partisan.” Political scientists have thoroughly examined this more recent shift; however, few studies consider why party divisiveness has fluctuated during the past century and over time more generally. Lee’s recent work contends a main factor that drives legislative partisanship is the majority party’s prospects for retaining control of its chamber. Using data on every Senate roll call vote since 1915 and a novel measure of party competition, I test an extension of Lee’s argument and examine whether partisan voting is associated with insecure majority status. My results indicate that voting coalitions in the Senate become more partisan as the majority’s probability of remaining in power decreases.

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the association between student characteristics and recruitment strategies in the adherence of college students to a web-based alcohol intervention. Participants were 46,329 Brazilian students aged from 18 to 30, who consumed alcohol during the past three months. Three recruitment strategies were implemented: open invitations, and personally-addressed invitations with or without non-monetary incentives. We evaluated the educational, sociodemographic, motivational, and alcohol consumption effects on adherence using logistic regression models. Women (aOR = 1.09 [1.04; 1.14]), students with higher income (aOR = 1.32 [1.21; 1.45]), and more motivated students (aOR = 1.04 [1.03; 1.05]) were more adherent to the intervention, as well as those reporting binge drinking (aOR = 1.26 [1.19; 1.33]) and alcohol hazardous use (aOR = 1.11 [1.05; 1.18]). The use of incentives was the main factor associated with adherence (aOR = 3.69 [2.46; 5.55]). Our results may help the development of future web-based interventions related to alcohol use.
