Abstract:

In a two-dimensional cellular automaton model of retained excitation every excited cell stays excited if the number of excited neighbors belong to some interval, the cell takes refractory state otherwise. Every resting cell is excited if the number of excited cells in its neighborhood belong to some other interval; cell-state transition from refractory to resting state is unconditional. We classify 1296 rules of retained excitation based on how dynamics of excitable lattices develop after initial stimulation. Several modes of space-time activity dynamics are discovered: not growing but persistent domains of activity, domains with rectangular, octagonal and almost circular growth, amoeba-like growing patterns, mobile and still localizations.

Abstract:

There is a quality of music that makes people tap their feet, rock their head, and get up and dance. The consistency of this experience among listeners was examined, in terms of differences in ratings across 64 music examples taken from commercially available recordings. Results show that ratings of groove, operationally defined as “wanting to move some part of the body in relation to some aspect of the sound pattern,” exhibited considerable interindividual consistency. Covariance patterns among the 14 rated words indicated four prominent factors, which could be labeled regular-irregular, groove, having swing, and flowing. Considering the wide range of music examples used, these factors are interpreted as reflecting psychological dimensions independent of musical genre and style.

Abstract:

Several reaction–diffusion systems that exhibit temporal periodicity when well mixed also display spatio-temporal pattern formation in a spatially distributed, unstirred configuration. These patterns can be travelling (e.g. spirals, concentric circles, plane waves) or stationary in space (Turing structures, standing waves). The behaviour of coupled and forced temporal oscillators has been well studied, but much less is known about the phenomenology of forced and coupled patterns. We present experimental results focusing primarily on coupled patterns in two chemical systems, the chlorine dioxide–iodine–malonic acid reaction and the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction. The observed behaviour can be simulated with simple chemically plausible models.

Full text

Abstract:

The essay presents a relational concept of the stranger parting from and at the same time going beyond Alfred Schutz’s famous and controversial conception of “The Stranger.” Not only the subjective viewpoint of the stranger entering an in‑group – as in the Schutzian outline – is relevant for the construction of strangeness, but also the interactional context and the receiving in‑group with its respective patterns of culture. For strangeness is a relational concept, it is only constructed in relationships of individuals and groups; it is an ascription or “label” that is activated in interaction processes. Within in‑ and out‑group constellations, the stranger is objectified by social typification, which may be based on a de‑subjectivation and reification of the respective Other. Relational strangeness refers to the diverse possibilities of the social construction of the stranger, always taking into consideration the individuals involved in in‑ and out‑group relations.

Abstract:

Panic disorder is common in primary care settings and such a physician is often a patient's initial contact with the health care system. Previous work concerning the homogeneity of panic phenomenology across patients is contradictory. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the intrapatient homogeneity of panic attacks and to examine associations between measures of homogeneity and physicians' confidence in the diagnosis. Ten patients meeting DSM-III-R criteria for panic disorder completed a diary documenting the symptomatic phenomenology of five consecutive panic attacks. In addition, the physician rated his diagnostic confidence for each patient. Patterns of symptoms and their sequences during panic showed good agreement within patients as did patterns of abatement and of presence of a precipitating event. The physician's diagnostic confidence was inversely related to agreement on symptom severity and variance of duration of an attack. This study suggests intrapatient homogeneity on most measures.

Abstract:

Objective: We used the ChatGPT-3.5 artificial intelligence (AI)-based language program to compare twelve types of mystical, supernatural, or otherwise anomalous entity encounter narratives constructed from material in the publicly available corpus of information, and compared their details to the phenomenology of spontaneous accounts via the Survey of Strange Events (SSE) and the grounded theory of Haunted People Syndrome (HP-S). Methods: Structured content analysis by two independent and masked raters explored whether the composite AI-narratives would: (a) cover each encounter type, (b) map to the SSE’s Rasch hierarchy of anomalous perceptions, (c) show an average SSE score, and (d) reference the five recognition patterns of HP-S. Results: We found moderate evidence of a core encounter phenomenon underlying the AI-narratives. Every encounter type was represented by an AI-generated description that readily mapped to the SSE, albeit their contents showed only fair believability and low but generally positive correlations with each other. The narratives also corresponded to below-average SSE scores and referenced at least one HP-S recognition pattern. Conclusions: Prototypical depictions of entity encounter experiences based on popular source material certainly approximate, yet not fully match, the phenomenology of their real-life counterparts. We discuss the implications of these outcomes for future studies.

Full text

Abstract:

The author outlines a provisional phenomenology of problem solving. He begins by reviewing the history of problem-solving psychology, focusing on the Gestalt approach, which emphasizes the influence of prior knowledge and the occurrence of sudden insights. He then describes problem solving as a process unfolding in a field of consciousness against a background of unconscious knowledge, which encodes action patterns, schemata, and affordances. A global feeling of wrongness or tension is resolved by a series of field transitions, which are guided by peripheral experiences of coherence or “rightness.” The author treats the distinction between reproductive thought (in which we rely on existing strategies to solve a problem) and productive thought (in which we struggle to identify new strategies) as a difference in field structure. With reproductive thoughts and actions we perform operations to solve a problem in a semi-automatic sequence. In productive thought, by contrast, a kind of parallel search occurs. This may explain the otherwise obscure phenomenology of struggling to break an impasse.

Abstract:

We study a binary-cell-state eight-cell neighborhood two-dimensional cellular automaton model of a quasi-chemical system with a substrate and a reagent. Reactions are represented by semi-totalistic transitions rules: every cell switches from state 0 to state 1 depending on if the sum of neighbors in state 1 belongs to some specified interval, cell remains in state 1 if the sum of neighbors in state 1 belong to another specified interval. We investigate space-time dynamics of 1296 automata, establish morphology-bases classification of the rules, explore precipitating and excitatory cases and scrutinize collisions between mobile and stationary localizations (gliders, cycle life and still-life compact patterns). We explore reaction–diffusion like patterns produced as a result of collisions between localizations. Also, we propose a set of rules with complex behavior called Life 2c22.

Abstract:

The hermeneutic study about discourse before the existence of Paul Ricoeur was around three points: romantic hermeneutics, onology hermeneutics, and dialectical hermeneutics. They have characteristics that other mainsteams do not have. Ricoeur’s thought style cannot be included in any of those three hermeneutic thoughts. In fact, his thought covers almost all contemporary philosophical topics. One of the points of Ricoeur’s contemporary hermeneutics is how to combine the phenomenology of Husserl’s metaphysical tendencies with Heidegger’s existential phenomenology. The text is essentially autonomous to carry out “de-contextualization” (the process of liberating oneself from context) and “re-contextualization” (the process of returning to context). Ricoeur’s thought patterns cannot be included in one of the three hermeneutic thought. In fact, his thought allegedly covers almost all contemporary philosophical topics. One of Ricoeur’s contemporary hermeneutics is how to combine the phenomenology of Husserl’s metaphysical tendencies with Heidegger’s existential phenomenology.

Abstract:

The main character education for a child is the family environment. A child's character can be determined through the parenting style applied by his parents. Basically, each family's parenting style varies from one family to another. Differences in parenting styles in families make each individual or child have a different character. This research aims to describe the parenting patterns applied by parents in shaping children's Islamic character. This research uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data sources were taken from six informants consisting of parents and children, with data collection techniques using interview and observation methods. Overall, the results of the analysis show that there are many factors that influence parents' parenting patterns in cultivating their children's Islamic character at home, namely the level of parental understanding of religious knowledge, the level of parental education, and the environment.

Abstract:

Chemical reactions, which are far from equilibrium, are capable of displaying oscillations in species concentrations and hence in colour, electrode potential, pH and/or temperature. The oscillations arise from the interplay between positive and negative kinetic feedback. Mechanisms for such reactions are presented, along with the rich phenomenology that these systems exhibit, from complex oscillations and chemical waves, to stationary concentration patterns. This review will focus on the Belousov-Zhabotinksy reaction but reference to other reactions will be made where appropriate.

Abstract:

We carry out an analysis of the non-universal supersymmetry breaking scalar masses arising in SO(10) supersymmetric unification. By considering patterns of squark and slepton masses, we derive a set of sum rules for the sfermion masses which are independent of the manner in which SO(10) breaks to the Standard Model gauge group via its SU(5) subgroups. The phenomenology arising from such non-universality is unaffected by the symmetry breaking pattern, so long as the breaking occurs via any of the SU(5) subgroups of the SO(10) group.

Abstract:

Here, we introduce and explore Scintillating Starbursts, a stimulus type made up of concentric star polygons that induce illusory scintillating rays or beams. We test experimentally which factors, such as contrast and number of vertices, modulate how observers experience this stimulus class. We explain how the illusion arises from the interplay of known visual processes, specifically central versus peripheral vision, and interpret the phenomenology evoked by these patterns. We discuss how Starbursts differ from similar and related visual illusions such as illusory contours, grid illusions such as the pincushion grid illusion as well as moiré patterns.

Abstract:

We propose a general theory for surface patterning in many different biological systems, including mite and insect cuticles, pollen grains, fungal spores, and insect eggs. The patterns of interest are often intricate and diverse, yet an individual pattern is robustly reproducible by a single species and a similar set of developmental stages produces a variety of patterns. We argue that the pattern diversity and reproducibility may be explained by interpreting the pattern development as a first-order phase transition to a spatially modulated phase. Brazovskii showed that for such transitions on a flat, infinite sheet, the patterns are uniform striped or hexagonal. Biological objects, however, have finite extent and offer different topologies, such as the spherical surfaces of pollen grains. We consider Brazovskii transitions on spheres and show that the patterns have a richer phenomenology than simple stripes or hexagons. We calculate the free energy difference between the unpatterned state and the many possible patterned phases, taking into account fluctuations and the system’s finite size. The proliferation of variety on a sphere may be understood as a consequence of topology, which forces defects into perfectly ordered phases. The defects are then accommodated in different ways. We also argue that the first-order character of the transition is responsible for the reproducibility and robustness of the pattern formation.

Abstract:

Background. Te relevance of studying the youth safety culture (SC) in various spheres of life is due to a signifcant change in the structure of risks coming along with the development of Internet and digital technologies. Objective. Te empirical study had its purpose to reveal the intrapersonal and subjective determinants of the youth SC taking into consideration its gender specifcity, as well as to describe the types of youth SC as per the attitude to diferent safety components. Sample. Te study involved 1469 university students (545 boys, 924 girls, mean age 20.34 years). Methods. Te study implemented the standardized questionnaires TIPI-RU, BriefCope, PIL, RFQ, assessments of self-confrmation patterns as well as ad hoc developed technique for evaluating the youth SC and its components (public, personal, fnancial, and data security). Data analysis was carried out using multivariate statistical methods (ANOVA (Analysis of Variance), factor analysis, cluster analysis, correlation analysis), Student’s t-test and Fisher’s F-test. Results of the study revealed certain gender diferences in the youth SC: young women have a signifcantly higher indicator of personal safety, while young men dominate in all other components and the integral indicator of SC. Cluster analysis allowed for identifying 4 types of SC according to the rates of diferent SC components. Te revealed types of SC difer in the personality characteristics, meaningfulness of life, preferred coping strategies, focus of regulation, and self-confrmation patterns. Conclusion. It was established that youth security culture is more a consequence of comprehension (as well as learning) than a personality conditioned phenomenon. Te study substantiated the expediency of individually oriented proactive approach to the formation of the students’ SC.

Abstract:

We consider supersymmetric SO(10) grand unification where the unified gauge group can break to the Standard Model gauge group through different chains. The breaking of SO(10) necessarily involves the reduction of the rank, and consequent generation of nonuniversal supersymmetry breaking scalar mass terms. We derive squark and slepton mass relations, taking into account these nonuniversal contributions to the sfermion masses, which can help distinguish between the different chains through which the SO(10) gauge group breaks to the Standard Model gauge group. We then study some implications of these nonuniversal supersymmetry breaking scalar masses for the low energy phenomenology.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Spindles are currently defined clinically based on observed patterns in the EEG waveform trace, with automated methods seeking to replicate visual scoring by experts. Recent work suggests that sleep spindles may be more readily observed as time-frequency peaks in the EEG spectrogram. This study compares spectral peaks in the multitaper spectrogram to expert and automatic detection scoring, characterizes the variability of spindles across a night, and investigates topographical and temporal clustering of spindles within individual EEG records. Methods We compared spectral peaks, expert scoring, and automatic detection in two datasets (DREAMS, and a high-density control study). Peaks were identified using multitaper spectral estimation and the peak prominence of the normalized power spectrum for each channel. Spatiotemporal variability analysis was performed using cluster and pattern recognition algorithms including penalized sorting of channel activation order, 2D-cross correlation, PCA and UMAP cluster analysis, and the seqNMF method. Results Spectral peaks were shown to be highly robust to and easily differentiated from broadband noise, occuring at rates (10-16 per min) far exceeding spindle rates reported in literature (~2.5 per min). Expert scoring and automated scoring failed to capture clear spectral peaks in the time-frequency domain, indicating an underreporting of the phenomenology. No apparent clustering or patterns of sleep spindle-like activity was observed using the proposed methods, suggesting high variability of spatiotemporal evolution of spindles. Conclusion These results suggest that the difficulty of time-domain visual scoring of spindles causes an artificially low estimate of the underlying phenomenology, which is mirrored in the assumptions implicit in the thresholds of automated scorers. This work shows that spindles are highly variable in their spatiotemporal evolution, suggesting that there is no optimal single electrode for analysis and casting doubt on the presence of a single cortical generation mechanism. We must therefore revisit the concept of the spindle using the time-frequency domain to more robustly characterize underlying phenomenology.

Abstract:

In recent years the development of a phenomenological archaeology has provoked considerable discussion within the discipline, particularly within British prehistory. This paper provides a review of this challenging body of research, outlining its problems and potentials and setting it within its broader disciplinary context. Phenomenology has been used to great effect to critique the Cartesian rationalism inherent in traditional archaeological approaches, encouraging imaginative and valuable reinterpretations of the architecture and landscape settings of different monuments. Nonetheless, there are a number of significant problems raised by this work. The suggestion that the archaeologist’s embodied engagement with an ancient monument or landscape can provide an insight into past experiences and interpretations is critically considered. The epistemological status of the knowledge-claims made, including how and whether the patterns identified should be verified, is discussed. The contribution of phenomenology to postprocessual debates surrounding concepts of the self, the individual, embodiment and emotion are also explored. The work of key proponents of phenomenology such as Tilley and Thomas provides a particular focus, although a range of other authors are also considered.

Abstract:

The emergence of macroscopic order and patterns is a central paradigm in systems of (self-)propelled agents and a key component in the structuring of many biological systems. The relationships between the ordering process and the underlying microscopic interactions have been extensively explored both experimentally and theoretically. While emerging patterns often show one specific symmetry (e.g., nematic lane patterns or polarized traveling flocks), depending on the symmetry of the alignment interactions patterns with different symmetries can apparently coexist. Indeed, recent experiments with an actomysin motility assay suggest that polar and nematic patterns of actin filaments can interact and dynamically transform into each other. However, theoretical understanding of the mechanism responsible remains elusive. Here, we present a kinetic approach complemented by a hydrodynamic theory for agents with mixed alignment symmetries, which captures the experimentally observed phenomenology and provides a theoretical explanation for the coexistence and interaction of patterns with different symmetries. We show that local, pattern-induced symmetry breaking can account for dynamically coexisting patterns with different symmetries. Specifically, in a regime with moderate densities and a weak polar bias in the alignment interaction, nematic bands show a local symmetry-breaking instability within their high-density core region, which induces the formation of polar waves along the bands. These instabilities eventually result in a self-organized system of nematic bands and polar waves that dynamically transform into each other. Our study reveals a mutual feedback mechanism between pattern formation and local symmetry breaking in active matter that has interesting consequences for structure formation in biological systems.

Abstract:

IntroductionLiterature on childhood Functional Neurological Disorders (FNDs) is spare. Clinical presentations are vaguely characterized and often misdiagnosed in younger ages. Their main neurological features enrol: Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), Functional movement disorders (FMDs), sensory alterations, cephalgia and feeding problems.ObjectivesThe study was aimed to better characterize the childhood population of FND, because of they represent an emerging challenge for clinicians, giving its higher presentation in the younger age and the difficulties of an early and differential diagnosis as well as an effective management.Methods Our study retrospectively examined the characteristics of 82 FNDs children and adolescents (8 to 16 y.o.; 13 males; 29 females) referred as neurological inpatients of an urban academic neuropsychiatric department, from 2014 to 2019. Three main clinical aspects were analysed: type and pattern of symptoms manifestations (DSM-5 criteria); Life Events; family functioning.Results FND accounted for 2% of 5-years consultations of neurological inpatients (M: F=1:2). The clinical presentation was characterized in 70% by pattern of co-expressed neurological symptoms: FMDs (9.5%); PNES (12%); dizziness/lipothymia (12%); paraesthesia/anaesthesia (16%). Generalized pain was associated in 38% of the reported patterns while cephalgia in 44%. Sleep disorders were reported in 40%. Previous psychiatric diagnoses were uncommon (2 out 82). Antecedent stressors were identified in 97% of patients for personal illness history and in the 93% for chronic illness in the family anamnesis. Family problems were in 25% of cases.ConclusionsOur data contributes to better characterize the childhood population of FND, describing clinical patterns of presentation, highlighting putative antecedent stressors and risk factors

All levels of semiosis, from the materiality of signs to their contents and the contexts of their application, are structured by a selectivity in human experience and action that foregrounds only a fraction of the situation here and now. Before Sperber and Wilson, concepts of “relevance” were proposed in both semiotics and phenomenology to analyze this selectivity. Building critically on Alfred Schutz’s phenomenology, I suggest that a productive way to capture the fundamental role of relevance in processes of meaning-making is to see relevance as the outcome of an interplay between two antagonistic tendencies. On the one hand, socially stabilized and individually sedimented “types” guide our experience and action along established patterns. On the other hand, we are actively open to new and unexpected aspects; we are ready to deviate from types and to change typical patterns. Only both tendencies taken together account for our semiotic behavior in context. Spatial metaphors such as “ground” illuminate only a part of this interplay. Due to the double movement in what becomes relevant to us, the typical ground on which we produce and interpret signs is constantly being shifted and re-grounded, which keeps driving on an endless process of semiosis.

Abstract:

Mind is influenced by socio-cultural religious belief systems, experiences and attributions in the development of psychophenomenology. Film viewing is a common entertainment among young adults.ObjectivesInfluence of repetitive watching of films of fiction and horror genres on onset phenomenology in young adults.MethodTwo case reports on onset of psychotic features and mixed anxiety depressive phenomenology were seen in two patients aged 16 and 20 years respectively and based on the fantastic imagination created by films. The 28-year-old female patient diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder had onset at 16 years of age and the course of phenomenology was influenced by the fiction movie ‘Jumanji’ with partial response to medications over 10 years. The depressive and anxiety symptoms of less than 6 months duration of a 20-year-old male patient was influenced by film ‘Hannibal’ and responded to antidepressant and cognitive behavior therapy.ConclusionsHorror and fiction films can influence the thinking patterns and attribution styles of a young adult by stimulating fantasy thinking which if unrestrained can lead to phenomenology. Viewing films compulsively, obsessive ruminations on horror and fictional themes can lead to onset of psychopathology of both psychosis and neurotic spectrum. Further research on neurobiological, psychological correlates is needed. Parental guidance and restricted viewing of horror genre films with avoidance of repeated stimulatory viewing of same genre movies in children, adolescents, young adults and vulnerable individuals is required.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

Communication and interaction dynamics are fundamental to creating harmony in the family. This study investigates interaction and communication patterns in the family environment in the rural area of Bengkulu. This research uses a qualitative methods with phenomenology approach. Phenomenological studies use Husserl's theory where what is depicted is the reality of events in the field The research results show differences in interaction and parenting patterns within the family, primarily related to the role of the husband and the dominance of communication between the mother and the child. The following finding is that parenting styles that tend to pamper children or encourage children to be independent result in limited access to gender equality within the family. These findings can trigger various debates, ranging from relevance to social and cultural change, the influence of other factors in shaping children's gender roles, the need for policy interventions, to considerations related to the generalizability of the findings, gender theory, informal education, and cultural change in the context of role research. gender and parenting. This research implies that informal education needs to be transformed to support increasing parental capacity to increase gender-responsive parenting competencies.

Abstract:

The phenomenology of self-organization based on the four rules in Conway’s game “Life” and the phenomenology of biological life based on the four nucleotides has several parallels and unresolved issues. A cellular automaton operating on a two-dimensional plane is proposed as a basic object for joint consideration of these phenomena. In one case, its dynamics are set by local/global self-organization rules based on the initial configuration in an automaton of the “Life” type of game. In another case, it is a set of nucleotides in the DNA of a particular organism. The author considers images similar to cellular automata generated by the DNA of real organisms when constructing geometric patterns on a two-dimensional plane by changing the mapping scaling parameter. With increasing scaling parameters, individual clusters emerge for living organisms, which can be located symmetrically.

Abstract:

The basic intention of this paper is to approach the phenomenon of violence from the perspective of Jan Patočka’s “a-subjective phenomenology.” As I argue, violence is a “boundary phenomenon” that has not yet been analyzed adequately in the phenomenological tradition. Its analysis requires a revision of phenomenology. However, such a revision can not only be found in recent positions, but already in Patočka’s conception. Thus, I propose to reassess his basic ideas that are derived from both a strong criticism of Husserl’s subjectivism and Heidegger’s anti-intellectualism. In this context, I use Patočka’s respective insights concerning the “phenomenal field” and the “movement of human existence,” to develop a phenomenological analysis of the various ways violence affects our selves: As I argue, it does so by destroying incorporated patterns of understanding, by oppressing the meaningful frameworks of our pregiven life-world, and, finally, by undermining our primordial trust in the other.

Abstract:

This article analyses how governance and organisational dynamics produce different forms of health and social care integration. The ethnographic study, carried out in two different Italian organisations, highlighted two forms of integration, which the authors term mechanical and cultural. The first is characterised by the prevalence of codified and hierarchical forms of coordination and the substantial isolation of professional groups, with limited contact opportunities. Under these conditions, integration is mainly achieved in the final product through the independent and uncoordinated delivery of specific social and health services. In the second, codified tools occur alongside informal coordination activities, based on face-to-face interactions and the sharing of knowledge, values and goals. Integration takes place in daily formal and informal interactions and in the development of professional intimacy. The results of the study suggest that public policies need to be clear about the form of integration at which they aim. The mechanical form is appropriate for product integration, while cultural integration is the preferred form for process and professional integration. In the latter case, ICTs are undoubtedly useful but not sufficient. To stimulate informal coordination, mutual trust and professional reciprocity, analogic communicative patterns are needed to allow the symbolic dimension to be expressed.

Abstract:

Basins generated by a noninvertible mapping formed by two symmetrically coupled logistic maps are studied when the only parameter λ of the system is modified. Complex patterns on the plane are visualized as a consequence of the basins' bifurcations. According to the already established nomenclature in the literature, we present the relevant phenomenology organized in different scenarios: fractal islands disaggregation, finite disaggregation, infinitely disconnected basin, infinitely many converging sequences of lakes, countable self-similar disaggregation and sharp fractal boundary. By use of critical curves, we determine the influence of zones with different number of first rank preimages in the mechanisms of basin fractalization.

Abstract:

A growing body of research suggests that momentary assessment technologies that sample experiences in the context of daily life constitute a useful and productive approach in the study of behavioural phenotypes and a powerful addition to mainstream cross-sectional research paradigms. Momentary assessment strategies for psychopathology are described, together with a comprehensive review of research findings illustrating the added value of daily life research for the study of (1) phenomenology, (2) aetiology, (3) psychological models, (4) biological mechanisms, (5) treatment and (6) gene–environment interactions in psychopathology. Overall, this review shows that variability over time and dynamic patterns of reactivity to the environment are essential features of psychopathological experiences that need to be captured for a better understanding of their phenomenology and underlying mechanisms. The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) allows us to capture the film rather than a snapshot of daily life reality of patients, fuelling new research into the gene–environment–experience interplay underlying psychopathology and its treatment.

In particular, the paper draws from critical geography and the sociology of education to examine the significance of habitus, capital, field as well as site as space and place in understanding the choices made by low-income and racialized minority families. We apply an innovative mixed-methods critical geographic approach to better understand marginalized urban families’ phenomenology of school choice, while also analyzing their school choice mobility patterns through a geo-spatial analysis in Vancouver, one of the most rapidly diversifying and polarizing cities in the world.

Abstract:

In recent years, the use of psychedelic drugs to study brain dynamics has flourished due to the unique opportunity they offer to investigate the neural mechanisms of conscious perception. Unfortunately, there are many difficulties to conduct experiments on pharmacologically-induced hallucinations, especially regarding ethical and legal issues. In addition, it is difficult to isolate the neural effects of psychedelic states from other physiological effects elicited by the drug ingestion. Here, we used the DeepDream algorithm to create visual stimuli that mimic the perception of hallucinatory states. Participants were first exposed to a regular video, followed by its modified version, while recording electroencephalography (EEG). Results showed that the frontal region’s activity was characterized by a higher entropy and lower complexity during the modified video, with respect to the regular one, at different time scales. Moreover, we found an increased undirected connectivity and a greater level of entropy in functional connectivity networks elicited by the modified video. These findings suggest that DeepDream and psychedelic drugs induced similar altered brain patterns and demonstrate the potential of adopting this method to study altered perceptual phenomenology in neuroimaging research.

Full text

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the postphenomenological approach to the study of war as primarily a world phenomenon, anthropological patterns and moral and legal codes. The foundations of the proposed materialistіс phenomenology have three main points. First, existential topography acts as a leading descriptive method which is based on the triple unity of spatiality, bodility and otherness. Secondly, the visibility of the phenomenon is captured by its imagery, which has three situational aspects – givenness, performance practices, marking contours. Thirdly, phenomenality has two asymmetrically connected sides – available, which ensures meeting and assimilation in the approach, and the reverse, which marks the contours of the visible in the invisibility of the distant. The materialistic character of phenomenology means that the emphasis is on the world as an existential media that has its own bodily organized agent network. The description of the war phenomenon offered in this article stops only at the first step – the discovery of givens to testify to a phenomenological point of view, but with the prospect of further description. War manifests itself as a deforming topos compression that leads to bodily practices of concealment. Deformation is the result of homogenizing control over the topos diversity of existence through the invasion of radical otherness that carried out by the artificial corporeality of weapons and the dominant corporeality of the military. In a situation of war, otherness, instead of receding into the invisible, which ensures the absolute difference of the world order, turns into a positive approximation of indistinction, monstrosity. The world stops reporting on the order of life.

We review some results on the phenomenology of networks of chaotic elements under threshold activated coupling. We show how thresholding at different levels gives rise to behaviour ranging from spatiotemporal cycles and spatiotemporal chaos, to scaling regimes reminiscent of self-organized criticality. We also indicate how our knowledge of the dynamical consequences of varying threshold levels can be used to design control algorithms targetting a wide range of spatiotemporal patterns. Some of these concepts are verified in experiments on chaotic electrical circuits.

Abstract:

Purpose – This article discusses the idea of Islamic Religious Education based on religious intersubjectivity. Design/methods/approach – This paper presents the idea of Islamic Religious Education based on religious intersubjectivity with a philosophical perspective or approach and religious phenomenology. The philosophical approach is to delineate and discuss three varieties of new paradigm for religion, namely subjective, objective, and intersubjective belief. Meanwhile, the religious phenomenology approach is used to develop an "intersubjective" religious area. Intersubjective diversity is an area of human religiosity that marries and engages in intense and sincere deep dialogue between the links of subjective and objective self-awareness of human which are in opposition to each other. Findings – The formulation of this IRE model – based on the intersubjectivity of religion – must consider the following points: 1) Intelligent sorting of common patterns and unique patterns in history of religions and religious thoughts; (2) Epoche, which refers to the ability of a person or group to sincerely and purely set-aside the statements that are undermining, devaluing, demeaning, infidelizing, apostatizing, or hurtful to other groups in any form; (3) Eidetic vision, which is the search for the basic construction, core, substance or the deepest essence of human religiosity; (4) the historicity of religion; (5) Verstehen, which constitutes an effort to understand the essence of other religions earnestly and genuinely; (6) Compassion and harmony; (7) Inclusive-partnership and dialogical approach; and (8) Enlightening new religious thoughts, mentalities, and attitudes (al-aql al-Jadid al-istitla'). Originality/value – Seeing the important meaning of religious intersubjectivity, this religious model is very appropriate if applied in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning.

As the first topic, we propose a new parametrization of the complex Yukawa matrix in the scotogenic model. The new parametrization is compatible with the particle data group parametrization of the neutrino sector. Some analytical expressions for the neutrino masses with the new parametrization are shown. As the second topic, we consider the phenomenology of the scotogenic model with the one-zero-textures of the neutrino flavor mass matrix. One of the six patterns of the neutrino mass matrix is favorable for the real Yukawa matrix. On the other hand, for the complex Yukawa matrix, five of the six patterns are compatible with observations of the neutrino oscillations, dark matter relic abundance and branching ratio of the [Formula: see text] process.

Abstract:

Recent years have seen increasing interest in the experience of prehistoric monuments. This article explores the possibility that the construction and experience of early Neolithic chambered cairns in South Wales was grounded in principles of asymmetry and sidedness. This was reflected in their landscape setting, architecture, and was actively drawn on through time in patterns of structured deposition. Ultimately, we conclude that the differences between symmetry and asymmetry may have played an integral role in the conception of place in the British Neolithic.

Full text

Abstract:

The ‘fluid mechanical sewing machine’ is a device in which a thin thread of viscous fluid falls onto a horizontal belt moving in its own plane, creating a rich variety of ‘stitch’ patterns depending on the fall height and the belt speed. This review article surveys the complex phenomenology of the patterns, their symmetries, and the mathematical models that have been used to understand them. The various patterns obey different symmetries that include (slightly imperfect) fore–aft symmetry relative to the direction of belt motion and invariance under reflection across a vertical plane containing the velocity vector of the belt, followed by a shift of one-half the wavelength. As the belt speed decreases, the first (Hopf) bifurcation is to a ‘meandering’ state whose frequency is equal to the frequency Ωc of steady coiling on a motionless surface. More complex patterns can be studied using direct numerical simulation via a novel ‘discrete viscous threads’ algorithm that yields the Fourier spectra of the longitudinal and transverse components of the motion of the contact point of the thread with the belt. The most intriguing case is the ‘alternating loops’ pattern, the spectra of which are dominated by the first five multiples of Ωc/3. A reduced (three-degrees-of-freedom) model succeeds in predicting the sequence of patterns observed as the belt speed decreases for relatively low fall heights for which inertia in the thread is negligible. Patterns that appear at greater fall heights seem to owe their existence to weakly nonlinear interaction between different ‘distributed pendulum’ modes of the quasi-vertical ‘tail’ of the thread.
