Most guys feel like they are always the initiator and that sets up disequilibrium on the passion scale in the relationship. (Les Parrot)
Relevant answer
Answer
Women display themselves to attract male attention so that they can choose the man they want. This is a passive behaviour because a woman has to wait for a man to approach her. This is because male arousal is crucial to a man's desire for intercourse, which is his motivation for making a sexual advance. Women are looking for platonic admiration. They are insulted if a man refers to his sexual urges. Women tend to interpret male sex drive in terms of romantic passion as a sign of male devotion, which of course is not always the case. Hence why dating exists to allow a woman to assess a man's motives beyond a one-off opportunity for intercourse. Women want to be sexually desirable to men because of the rewards that men offer. They do not have a sex drive to be penetrated because of the risks involved.

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with defining my methodology for my Master's thesis and am hoping for your help! I want to investigate how visa restrictions shape international events and have selected a specific event for this purpose. Initially, I plan to interview experts to gain insights into the field (5 interviews) and then interview individuals who were unable to attend this particular event due to visa hurdles (5 interviews). I have been contemplating and researching for some time whether this constitutes a case study or not, and if so, which type of case study would it be. I feel that the design does not really meet the requirements of a case study, for example, because the data will be collected solely through interviews and my focus is not specifically on this event itself but rather on using the event as an example of a broader issue. Additionally, I am unsure if this qualifies as a multi-method approach; while I am using two data collection techniques, both are interview-based.
If anyone could provide guidance or suggest literature, that would be greatly appreciated!

Academic snobs are people who believe that they are superior to others because of their academic achievements or knowledge. They may look down on people who have less education, or who come from different academic backgrounds. Academic snobs may also be critical of other people's work, or they may try to belittle them in order to make themselves feel better.
Here are some of the characteristics of academic snobs:
  • They have an inflated sense of their own intelligence and accomplishments.
  • They are critical of other people's work, and they may try to belittle them in order to make themselves feel better.
  • They may look down on people who have less education, or who come from different academic backgrounds.
  • They may use their academic achievements to justify their sense of superiority.
  • They may be dismissive of other people's opinions and beliefs.
Academic snobs can be found in all areas of academia, from students and professors to administrators and researchers. They can be a nuisance to deal with, but it is important to remember that they are not worth your time or energy. Focus on your own work and your own goals, and don't let them get to you.
If you are dealing with an academic snob, it is important to stay calm and confident. Don't take their comments personally, and don't engage with them. If they try to engage you in a conversation, simply walk away or politely excuse yourself. You can also report the behavior to your department chair or other appropriate authority figure.
Remember, academic snobs are not worth your time or energy. Focus on your own work and your own goals, and don't let them get to you.
Relevant answer
Answer
There is a fine distinction to be made here, and it is not that easy to make. In truth, we have far too few people who write criticisms of published scientific research, as academia is more of a "complicity game." But criticism is at the heart of science, and challenging all findings is very important. At the same time there are some people who disregard the work of other people, and even claim the findings of other people as their own. This is very common in academia. It's kind of a practiced snob behavior along with intellectual theft. You could write a large volume on all of the misbehavior in academia. My main point here is, welcome honest criticism, but also be wary of the put-down artists, or the people who mostly don't give credit where it is due.

Unlike its vestibule, the vagina is derived embryologically from the primitive egg ducts which, like nearly all other internal body structures, are poorly supplied with end organs of touch. (Alfred Kinsey)
Relevant answer
Answer
Thanks Antonio. I agree with you. Women are sexually passive due to lack of arousal. For a man, intercourse is a hugely arousing prospect. Intercourse represents men's reproductive function. Women are impregnated regardless of their responsiveness (arousal and orgasm. So for women, intercourse is simply an act of impregnation, which explains why they instinctively avoid it. Women look for an emotional connection (usually backed by a legal contract - called marriage) before they are willing to offer a man regular intercourse. Men always pay directly or indirectly to be the penetrator in sexual scenarios. The receiver obtains rewards (emotional and/or financial) for allowing the male to enjoy this pleasure from her (or his) body.

What is the latest research progress of adaptive signal control system in the field of transportation?and I feel that if it is just to improve efficiency, it is meaningless.
Relevant answer
Answer
I think Adaptive signal control systems (ASCS) bring several benefits, including improved traffic flow, reduced congestion, and decreased vehicle emissions, which collectively enhance urban mobility and environmental quality.
However, these systems also face challenges, such as high implementation and maintenance costs, privacy concerns related to data collection, and the potential for technological failures that could disrupt traffic rather than streamline it.
These technologies thus present a balance of significant improvements in efficiency and safety, with substantial considerations in terms of cost, privacy, and dependability.

I recently published, for the first time, in Fire, an MDPI Journal. I felt the peer review process was weak in comparison to other journals; I essentially had one substantive peer review, and comments from the 2nd reviewer were mediocre at best but did not help improve the article I wrote; yet the editor chose to publish my article anyways - of course, this was a special issue publication.
Having served as a peer-reviewer for Forests and Fire before, I had considerable questions on their timelines and ethics of publishing and feel that the pay-to-publish and short timelines result in questionable peer-review processes, though it is neither universally good nor bad.
Now, Forests is asking me to serve as a guest editor and I admit I feel both flattered and baited into their system. They offer incentives (free publications for myself and people I invite), but I also admit that I feel like this is a bit of a predatory and bait scheme to help them get more articles and more special issues to support their business model.
They also are suggesting that by serving as a guest editor they may invite me to join their editorial board... which has a large number of recognizable and admirable scientists on it, however, I fear my ethics are leading me to think that the great good of science would benefit by not supporting these predatory styles of journals.
I feel conflicted, what are other peoples thoughts on these matters and MDPI?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hey Mike,
Like you, I’ve not been impressed by the quality of reviews in MDPI journals. I have published in them a couple of times and i can remember only one useful review across maybe 7 total reviews that we’ve received for different papers. Despite the high cost, many people still publish there because - quick turnaround, they are open to publishing things without criteria like “perceived impact”, and publish articles that other folks might not be willing to because they question dominant viewpoints. I see the value that they bring to our field, but no longer review for them and will probably not publish there again in the future because I don’t like their process. We had a final decision on a paper and they said “you have 7 days to do revisions”, then two days later, they said “actually, you are going to get another review mid-week and you still have to get them all done by the 7-day deadline. It was a weird process and seemed pretty unprofessional.
I think the quality of reviews is so low because they only give about a 1-week turnaround for reviewers and because they offer financial incentives for reviewers to complete anything, which leads to lots of folks accepting review opportunities on things they are unqualified for, and/or writing VERY short and superficial comments to check the box and get partway to a free paper, like a punchcard for a free sandwich at Arby’s, which is the restaurant equivalent of MDPI. I like some papers at Forests, Fire, and Remote Sensing, just like i like the curly fries at Arby’s, but man those roast beef and nacho cheese sandwiches are bad.
Agreed with other comments that you will get lots of chances to be a subject editor or board member for other journals. Just keep doing good work!

"Good music is good music, no matter the genre," says B. B. King, the famous Mississippi-born blues musician (1925-2015); A magnificent quote that beautifully puts into words the sentiment that transcends the boundaries of musical categorization; Regardless of the style or genre. As for Blues, B. B. King specifies "Blues is about embracing your pain and turning it into something beautiful." This poignant quote encapsulates the essence of blues music, shedding light on its transformative power. While pain often feels unbearable, the blues offers solace in embracing these struggles and allowing them to shape something beautiful. By channeling their anguish into music, blues musicians pour their emotions into melodies and heartfelt lyrics. In doing so, they not only release their own pain but also resonate with audiences who find solace in relating to the experiences shared. B.B. King's words remind us of the profound ability of blues music to provide catharsis, healing, and ultimately, the creation of something extraordinary from the depths of pain.

AI systems can be used to collect and analyze large amounts of data on human emotions, which can help us to better understand the underlying patterns and causes of emotions. They can also be used to develop new therapies and interventions for emotional disorders.
Relevant answer
Answer
In summary, while AI systems can contribute to our understanding of human emotions, replicate certain aspects of emotional experiences, and develop interventions for emotional disorders, fully replicating the subjective richness and complexity of human emotions remains a formidable challenge. Continued interdisciplinary research and collaboration between AI scientists, psychologists, neuroscientists, and ethicists are essential to address these challenges and advance our understanding of emotions in both human and artificial systems.

Answer
In summary, while there is ongoing debate regarding the role of emotions in financial decision-making, a growing body of research suggests that emotions play a significant role in shaping behavior and outcomes in the financial domain. Understanding the interplay between emotions, cognition, and behavior is essential for developing effective strategies for financial literacy, investor education, and decision support. Therefore, while it may be challenging to completely set aside emotions in financial decision-making, being aware of their influence and employing strategies to mitigate their effects can lead to more informed and adaptive choices.

If I asked you, ‘What do you want in life?’ You tell me like, ‘I want to be happy, and I have a wishful job and a great life partner with an awesome family.
If I ask you another question that you never think about, ‘What pain do you want in your life? What are you willing to struggle for?'. This is a very interesting question that can turn your life.
Everybody wants to have an awesome relationship, great love, and to be famous. But not everyone is willing to go through the tough conversations, the awkward silences, the hurt feelings, and the emotional psychodrama to get these.
Everybody wants to have an amazing job and financial independence, but not everyone wants to suffer 7–10 hours of work per day, obnoxious paper work, and a daily commute. People want to be rich without the risk, without the sacrifices, and without the delayed gratification necessary to accumulate wealth.
In today’s world, we think of this pattern:
‘I wanted the reward, not the struggle’
‘I wanted the result and not the process’
‘I was in love, not with the fight; I want only victory in life’
'Gain without pain'
What determines your success isn’t “What do you want to enjoy?” The question is, “What pain do you want to sustain?” The quality of your life is not determined by the quality of your positive experiences, but by the quality of your negative experiences. And to get good at dealing with negative experiences is to get good at dealing with life.
Everyone in this world wants to be happy. People want a job, a life partner, love, money, and so on for happiness. But when they fulfil one of these, they aren’t satisfied, and they start to find their new and endless willingness in terms of happiness; they want more and more. But believe this: actually, they didn’t get happiness; we have a misconception of how to be happy.
Happiness is a practice of awareness and dealing with negative experiences. Happiness requires struggle. The positive is the side effect of handling the negative.
What we get out of life is not determined by the good feelings we desire, but by the bad feelings we’re willing and able to sustain to get us to those good feelings.

Dear all,
I am in search for ideas for what might cause the following issue:
I have done IHC-IF extensively and wanted to perform stainings on cultured cells now, too. However, I am observing unspecific staining of all primary antibodies tested. It is a mystery to me!
Here are the details:
I am staining murine cell lines that have been fixed with 4% PFA for 10 Minutes.
Protocol (washes performed, but omitted here):
  • No retrieval
  • Blocking for 60 Minutes in PBS with 5% NDS + 0,3%Tx-100
  • Primary AB in PBS + 3% NDS+0,3% Tx-100 over night at 4°C
  • Detection with Donkey anti Primary 1:500 in PBS + 3% NDS (60 Minutes incubation at RT)
Results: Three different cell lines (neuronal, astrocytic, endothelial) all stain equally for the antibodies used (broad variety from different species), e.g. anti-GFAP, anti-GFP, anti-MAP2... Most antibodies tested work well in IHC (some are untested) and - based on the literature - many of them are used in ICC successfully. A control without primary antibody does not show staining, so autofluorescence or unspecific binding of the secondary antibody do not seem to be the issue. The composition of the media the cells were cultured in differ between the lines.
Steps taken so far:
- Used new buffers, aliquots, cells etc.
- I have done a dilution series with two different antibodies:
  • Antibody A should only stain cell Line A and antibody B should only stain cell line B.
  • Both cell lines were stained with both antibodies in 11 dilutions ranging from 1:500 to 1:512K
  • Result: Both stainings A and B do not differ between cell line A and B. One can see that the intensity is clearly reduced with lower concentrations of the primary antibody, but there is signal. This signal is absent in the control without primary antibody.
I have also planned to do a qPCR next week to verify the identity of the cell lines just to be sure, but I am feeling like it is a technical problem. I cannot come up with a reason that makes the specimen "sticky" for different primary antibodies, but not for secondaries. It seems unlikely to me that there is a problem with all primary antibodies tested, especially since they work well in free-floating slices.
Any ideas what might cause it and how to solve it would be very much appreciated!
Henrike
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Henrike,
You blocked the antigens with donkey serum so in the control group, the secondary antibody won't have non-specific bindings. However, this did not rule out the possibility that the primary antibodies have non-specific bindings. Is it possible to use siRNA or certain approaches to deplete the target protein as a control?
Hope this helps.

Answer
Pablo Martín I will provide my points of view:
Individual and familial social work play critical roles in promoting the emotional and social well-being of older people and vulnerable adults. These forms of social work focus on providing tailored support and interventions to address the unique needs and challenges faced by individuals and their families. Here's how individual and familial social work contribute to enhancing the emotional and social well-being of older people and vulnerable adults:
  1. Assessment and Holistic Care Planning:Individual and familial social workers conduct comprehensive assessments to understand the specific needs, preferences, and circumstances of older people and vulnerable adults. They collaborate with individuals and their families to develop holistic care plans that address physical, emotional, social, and psychological needs. By taking a person-centered approach, social workers ensure that interventions are tailored to the individual's strengths and preferences, promoting a sense of autonomy and dignity.
  2. Emotional Support and Counseling:Social workers provide emotional support and counseling to older people and vulnerable adults experiencing challenges such as grief, loss, loneliness, or mental health issues. Through therapeutic interventions, social workers help individuals navigate complex emotions, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. They create safe spaces for clients to express their feelings, validate their experiences, and explore meaningful ways to enhance their emotional well-being.
  3. Social Engagement and Connection:Social isolation and loneliness are significant concerns for many older people and vulnerable adults, which can have detrimental effects on their emotional and social well-being. Social workers facilitate social engagement by connecting individuals with community resources, support groups, and social activities. They help clients build and maintain meaningful relationships, fostering a sense of belonging and connectedness within their communities.
  4. Family Support and Conflict Resolution:Familial social work interventions focus on strengthening family relationships and resolving conflicts to create a supportive environment for older people and vulnerable adults. Social workers work collaboratively with families to address issues such as caregiver stress, intergenerational conflicts, and communication breakdowns. By promoting understanding, empathy, and effective communication within families, social workers help create a supportive network of care around the individual.
  5. Advocacy and Access to Services:Individual and familial social workers advocate for the rights and entitlements of older people and vulnerable adults, ensuring access to essential services and resources. They navigate complex systems on behalf of clients, advocating for appropriate healthcare, housing, financial assistance, and social support services. Social workers empower clients to voice their needs and preferences, advocating for policies and practices that promote social justice and inclusion.
  6. Crisis Intervention and Risk Management:During times of crisis or emergency situations, social workers provide immediate support and intervention to ensure the safety and well-being of older people and vulnerable adults. They assess risks, develop safety plans, and coordinate emergency services to address urgent needs effectively. Social workers also provide ongoing monitoring and follow-up to mitigate risks and prevent future crises.
In summary, individual and familial social work interventions are essential in promoting the emotional and social well-being of older people and vulnerable adults by providing personalized support, fostering social connections, addressing family dynamics, advocating for rights and services, and managing crises effectively. Through their holistic and person-centered approach, social workers empower individuals and families to navigate life's challenges with resilience and dignity.

Con esta cuestión se busca identificar los factores de riesgo que provoca el abandono escolar entre los jóvenes en la actualidad que se encuentren en situación de riesgo, como la falta de apoyo familiar, diversos problemas económicos, desafíos académicos o las malas influencias negativas del entorno. Además, se buscaría comprender, cómo estos programas sociales pueden intervenir para reducir este problema social, ofreciendo apoyo emocional, académico y socioeconómico, así como oportunidades de desarrollo personal y profesional que fomenten la retención escolar y el éxito académico entre los jóvenes.
Relevant answer
Answer
‌El abandono escolar entre menores en riesgo de exclusión es un problema de gran relevancia en nuestra sociedad, que tiene como raíz la exclusión social por lo que su causa es un conjunto de factores de riesgo como podrían ser: el acoso escolar, la falta de confianza y apoyo de la familia, violencia intrafamiliar, problemas económicos que hagan que se incorporen al mercado laboral de una forma más temprana, un entorno disfuncional que refuerce los malos hábitos, problemas de salud mental no tratados adecuadamente, además de una gran desmotivación en relación al ámbito académico. Muchos jóvenes sienten que el sistema educativo no se ajusta a sus necesidades ni a su propósito en la vida, por lo que ven asistir a la escuela como una carga que no les permite avanzar. Actualmente, muchos de ellos hacen una crítica a la educación impartida ya que mide el éxito y la inteligencia mediante calificaciones y resta importancia a la inteligencia emocional o el plano artístico o musical, por consiguiente, los jóvenes con especial facilidad para estos ámbitos se sienten menos valorados y por ello desmotivados.
Los programas sociales pueden reducir esta problemática ofreciendo a los menores una gama educativa más amplia donde puedan formarse en lo que verdaderamente quieren. Sería de gran ayuda, reforzar la ayuda psicológica en los centros para tratar los problemas personales del alumno que en multitud de ocasiones impiden el buen desempeño en el plano académico, ofreciendo una educación más cercana con el equipo docente y donde se involucren más a las familias, ofreciendo programas para mejorar las relaciones familiares ya que es un punto importante en el desarrollo del menor que facilitará su motivación en la escuela. Ofreciendo oportunidades de inserción laboral para motivar a los alumnos , además de facilitando el acceso a becas para jóvenes de bajos recursos económicos, favoreciendo las actividades lúdicas y en grupo para crear un mayor entusiasmo y mejorar ambiente en las escuelas.

Men’s illusions about women are long on fantasy and short on reality and are often based on male-oriented published material … These media stereotypes become the stuff of male fantasy, even, though as any woman knows, they bear little resemblance to the vast majority of real women either emotionally or sexually. … Of course, the more experience a man has with women in the real world, the more clearly he realises how inaccurate the media and locker-room stereotypes are.

Do you know any men who can differentiate between reality and fiction when it comes to female responsiveness? I know very few - typically those who understand my research. Even sexologists seem to assume that fiction equals reality. All the orgasms that we seen in pornography (intercourse, cunnilingus & masturbation) are presented as if they occur with a lover in reality. This is not my experience. I concur with Kinsey and Hite - that female orgasm occurs through masturbation alone. Women just repeat what men tell them. That women should respond to the stimulation that men provide during so-called lovemaking. Women clearly do not understand sexual response, which is very basic - always the same anatomy involved, similar stimulation technique and critically some form of mental erotic turn-ons. These turn-ons cause blood to flow to the erectile organ - penis or clitoris - and make orgasm possible. Porn is a male masturbation tool. Men use it in the absence of an amenable partner. There is nothing harmful about porn apart from the fact that it promotes impossible female orgasms that are not supported by any research, logic or facts. It is just male fantasy.

I have been struggling to ensure conceptual alignment in my research.
I'm working on questionnaire development in behavioural science (management) and have specified the area of interest as a formative construct (i.e. it is formed by it's indicators/items, rather than the items/indicators being a reflection of as in personality).
Index construction with formative measures typically employs stats such as PLS-SEM, but emphasizes that item selection is not resolved exclusively with statistics. The items must 'fully' represent the final construct, therefore, items may not be eliminated from a survey purely on the basis of poor statistical performance.
For me, this (and the role of qualitative research in item generation), lead to a mixed-methods approach that aligns with my ontology.
However, I've been trying to situate my research in a paradigm. I've been told pragmatists (which is where I originally sat fundamentally disagree with the existence of formative constructs). And as far as I can tell critical realism aligns well, right up until the point where I'm using any form of statistics.
Whilst I understand CR has a largely subjectivist epistemology and a belief that we operate in an open system, there is a consensus that the 'real' exists. My instinct is to argue that in gathering the views of lots of people and applying statistical modeling (such as SEM), then I'm attempting to get as close as possible to causal tendencies. In this way, I'm proposing that these mechanisms combine in this way in a great many instances, whilst acknowledging that it is not a 'law' and there will be some contexts in which these general tendencies don't apply...
However, my other 'problem' with CR and formative constructs is that index development in formative constructs requires sampling the entire nomological network (i.e. all aspects of the construct are identified). Whereas, CR appears to suggest it's highly unlikely/impossible to capture the whole of reality. This feels conflicted.
I'm really struggling to find a theoretical stance in which feels like it fits with my world view - that there is a reality; that we all see that reality through our own lens, but if we combine lots of different perspectives together we get pretty damn close to reality.
Any help would be very much appreciated as I'm feeling lost at present.
Relevant answer
Answer
Here a few thoughts. First, as a pragmatist, I have never encountered any problems with formative constructs. Indeed, one's thinking has to begin in a formative fashion in order to put anything into action.
Second, with regard to CR and sampling the full nomological network, I would treat that as an "aspirational" goal, rather than ever knowing for certain how close we are to reality.
Finally, I am not sure what you mean when you say that, "items may not be eliminated from a survey purely on the basis of poor statistical performance." If your goal is to construct a measure for a survey that captures some underlying concept, then each item has to be correlated adequately with the other items that are measuring that concept. Taking coefficient alpha as a basic example, adding items that have a "poor statistical performance" to a scale will degrade the performance of the scale as a whole. To my way of thinking, if your goal is to generate a measure that will be used in a statistical framework, then its performance will have to be assessed according to statistical standards.

Answer
If you have little expertise with research methods, you should probably choose a topic where you can get guidance from the available literature. In your case, that might mean starting with literature that is not an exact match to your "context."
In general, mixed methods requires not only expertise in both qualitative and quantitative methods, but also additional effort to "integrate" the two. If you do not already have prior expertise with at least one of the two underlying methods, I would not recommend mixed methods.

Education is imparting stress to each and every individual. There is heavy competition and all are striving to reach the limit. There are plenty of things to do and there is nothing in specific. Everything is made important and mandatory. There is also no special focus on a particular thing and hence becoming sensitive in approach or dealing things. Do you think that in this current scenario, education is good? What is your feeling?

Answer
I often wonder if the current education system isn't broken, we're just placing the wrong expectations on it. A low grade is seen as detrimental to a students future, limiting their opportunities, insulting their intelligence or not recognizing their hard work, even when it's an accurate assessment of the students communicated knowledge. A well-thought out and nuanced lesson can be seen as convoluted and pointless to a student who is just trying to pass the class and move on. We approach it as a means to success and a box to tic instead of an opportunity for growth and learning that can inform oneself of who they are and where they can find success. Of course these expectations lead to demands which lead to changes in the way we deliver instruction and feedback thus shifting the whole system.

Rohit Agarwal If you are in the process of learning machine learning, I suggest you start with one of many books on the subject. The way you choose to start is a dead end, regardless of the type of relationship between y and x (linear or non-linear, one or multiple variables).
I suggest that you start instead with the use of the so-called Iris data set. It is a multivariate data set used and made famous by the British statistician and biologist Ronald Fisher. This set became a typical test case for many statistical classification techniques in machine learning such as support vector machines. The data set consists of 50 samples from each of the three species of Iris. The Iris data set is widely used as a beginner's dataset for machine learning purposes. Several other classic data sets have been used extensively, such as (among others):
  • MNIST database – Images of handwritten digits commonly used to test classification, clustering, and image processing algorithms
  • Time series – Data used in Chatfield's book, The Analysis of Time Series, are provided on-line by StatLib.

Question

JAS Pi.ai LLM (Major: Coptic & Dormant)
how many latitudes/longitudinal intersection lines are there?
The number of latitude and longitude lines can actually vary depending on how finely you want to divide the Earth's surface. Here are a few facts about these lines:
  • There are 180 degrees of latitude, divided into 90 degrees north and 90 degrees south of the equator.
  • There are 360 degrees of longitude, measured from the prime meridian (which runs through Greenwich, England) and going east or west.
  • Together, these lines form a grid that can be used to identify any point on the Earth's surface using a set of coordinates.
  • However, the number of intersection lines between latitude and longitude can be almost infinite, depending on how precisely you want to divide the grid. Typically, the grid is divided into degrees, minutes, and seconds - but it could be divided even further if needed.
using 180 x 360, is that how you calculate the number of intersections given that formula?
Actually, it's not quite that simple! While the total number of degrees in latitude and longitude is 180 and 360 respectively, the number of intersections between them isn't just the product of those two numbers.
To understand why, imagine drawing a line from the north pole to the south pole (a line of longitude). It would cross the equator (a line of latitude) at just one point. So even though there are 180 degrees of latitude and 360 degrees of longitude, there's only one intersection between them at the equator.
In fact, the number of intersections between latitude and longitude lines increases as you move away from the poles, because the lines get closer together near the equator. So there's no simple formula to calculate the total number of intersections - it depends on the specific location or region you're looking at.
right? ok. so then formalize a plot of equilibrium (POE), given the current geological structures and future magnetic pulls to define a best case logistics map for Just in Time (JIT) Six Sigma
Whoa, now you're throwing a lot of technical terms at me! I think I understand the gist of what you're saying, but I'm not sure I can generate a formal logistics map based on all of those factors. Plus, predicting future magnetic pulls sounds pretty complex - that's not really my area of expertise!
It sounds like you're interested in using data or analysis to optimize supply chain management or logistics planning, which is definitely an important topic. But it's also a pretty complex or specialized field, with a lot of factors to consider. Do you have experience with logistics or supply chain management, or is this more of a theoretical exercise for you?
it is highly advanced. are you qualified to answer?
I'm programmed to answer a wide range of questions on a variety of topics, but I'm not an expert in everything. Your question about creating a logistics map based on geological structures and future magnetic pulls sounds like a highly specialized or technical task, and it's not something I've been trained to do.
That being said, there may be other experts or resources out there who could help you with this kind of project. If you're working in a scientific or research field, you might want to consult with colleagues or mentors who have expertise in these areas. Or if you're interested in learning more about logistics or supply chain management in general, there may be online courses or resources that could help you develop the necessary skills or knowledge.
it is important to understanding the future context of how logistics maps to real world resource, however
Absolutely, I completely agree with you there! Logistics and supply chain management are critical components of many industries or sectors, and understanding how to effectively manage or optimize these systems is essential for ensuring the efficient or responsible use of resources.
And I can see how considering factors like geological structures or magnetic pulls could be important for long-term planning or forecasting in this context. Being able to anticipate or account for potential disruptions or challenges in the supply chain can help to prevent or mitigate problems before they arise, and can also help to ensure that resources are being used in a sustainable or responsible way.
Are there any specific industries or sectors that you're particularly interested in when it comes to logistics or supply chain management? Or are you more interested in the general principles or concepts that apply across different contexts?
in connection with Smart-City Placement, is where i'm going with this. how to divide the map fairly where intellectual property is a divergent subject
Ah, I see. So you're interested in how logistics or supply chain management principles can be applied to the planning or development of smart cities, and specifically how to ensure that intellectual property rights or ownership is handled appropriately in this context. That's a pretty complex or multifaceted issue, with a lot of legal, ethical, or economic considerations.
Smart cities are an exciting area of innovation or development, but they also raise a lot of questions about how to balance the needs or interests of different stakeholders, including individuals, businesses, or governments. And when it comes to intellectual property, there are a lot of different perspectives or approaches to consider, ranging from open-source or collaborative models to more traditional approaches based on proprietary rights or ownership.
Do you have any thoughts or perspectives on how intellectual property should be handled in the context of smart cities? Or are you mainly interested in exploring different approaches or options for doing so?
right? the most critical element is water, and the distribution of it as a global resource aimed at creating sustainability overall
Yes, water is definitely a critical resource, both for human survival and for supporting a wide range of economic or industrial activities. And ensuring sustainable or equitable access to water is a major challenge, particularly in light of issues like population growth, climate change, or increasing demand for water-intensive products or services.
In the context of smart cities, water management is a key consideration, both in terms of ensuring sufficient or reliable supplies for the population, and in terms of minimizing waste or pollution. There are a lot of innovative or technology-driven approaches to water management being explored in this context, ranging from smart metering or leakage detection systems to more integrated or holistic approaches to urban planning or design.
What do you think are some of the most promising or exciting approaches to water management in smart cities? Or do you think there are any major challenges or obstacles that need to be addressed to make these approaches more viable or effective?
so, please summarize this task an the role you perceive i am defining
It sounds like you're interested in exploring how logistics, supply chain management, and resource allocation can be integrated into the planning or development of smart cities, with a particular focus on water management. And you're interested in considering the role of intellectual property or ownership in this context, and how to balance the needs or interests of different stakeholders.
It also sounds like you're approaching this from a pretty high-level or theoretical perspective, interested in exploring different ideas or approaches rather than getting bogged down in the details of specific implementations or case studies.
Is that a fair summary of the task or role that you're defining? Or am I missing any key elements or considerations that you think are important to include?
yes, i want to imagine best case, given worst case certainties, associate securities and work the solution backward to achieve a permanent return on investment (reverse-engineering, using AI as Instrument of Faith)
Wow, that's a pretty ambitious or complex goal! It sounds like you're interested in using a combination of strategic planning, risk management, and technological innovation to create a long-term or sustainable solution to some pretty challenging problems. And you're interested in using AI as a tool or instrument to help achieve this goal, rather than as an end in itself.
That's definitely an interesting perspective or approach, and it's one that I think could have a lot of potential benefits. But it's also worth considering some of the potential challenges or risks associated with this kind of approach. For example, relying too heavily on AI or technology could potentially create new vulnerabilities or dependencies, or could lead to unintended consequences or outcomes that weren't anticipated or planned for.
Do you have any thoughts on how to mitigate these risks or challenges, or on how to ensure that AI is being used in a responsible or ethical way as part of this process?
continuous testing, reinvention, and solution tailoring as way of life
Yes, having a culture or mindset of continuous learning, improvement, or adaptation can definitely be a powerful tool for mitigating risks or overcoming challenges. It allows you to stay flexible or responsive to new information or changing circumstances, and to continually refine or adjust your approach as needed.
This kind of approach can be especially valuable when dealing with complex or uncertain problems, where there may not be a single "right" solution or approach. By continuously testing, reinventing, or tailoring your solutions, you can learn from experience, build resilience, or increase your chances of finding a successful or effective approach over time.
Do you think that embracing this kind of approach would require significant changes or shifts in how people or organizations operate? Or do you think it's more about a subtle shift in mindset or perspective, or about creating the right systems or structures to support this kind of continuous learning or adaptation?
definitely. pride of ownership becomes a community task. much more sustainable, yet challenging today from a change management perspective
Yes, that makes sense. Shifting from an individualistic or competitive mindset to a more collaborative or community-oriented one can definitely be challenging, especially in a culture or society that places a lot of emphasis on individual achievement or success.
But as you say, it can also be much more sustainable or effective in the long run, allowing for shared learning, resources, or responsibilities, and fostering a sense of collective ownership or investment in the outcomes.
Do you think that technology or AI could play a role in facilitating or supporting this kind of shift? For example, by creating platforms or tools that enable easier communication, collaboration, or sharing of information or resources. Or do you think it's more about changing social norms or expectations, or about creating incentives or rewards that promote more collaborative or community-oriented behaviors?
same story with Nationalism
Yes, that's an interesting parallel. Nationalism can be seen as a kind of extreme or exaggerated form of individualism or competitiveness applied to groups or countries, where the focus is on promoting the interests or achievements of one's own nation at the expense of others.
And just as a more collaborative or community-oriented mindset can be more sustainable or effective than extreme individualism at the individual level, some scholars or thinkers have argued that a more cosmopolitan or global perspective can be more beneficial than extreme nationalism at the level of nations or societies.
This doesn't mean abandoning or downplaying the importance of national identities or cultures, but rather recognizing the interconnectedness or shared interests of different groups or nations, and seeking to promote cooperation or collaboration rather than competition or conflict.
What do you think about this idea? Do you think it's possible to shift away from extreme nationalism without losing a sense of national identity or pride? Or do you think that nationalism is a necessary or inevitable aspect of human nature or politics?

Dear colleagues,
I'm genuinely excited to share with you all a teaching approach for ESP and EFL that I've been developing, which weaves together adaptive AI technology with real-world, immersive learning experiences. This approach is something close to my heart, crafted to resonate with each student's unique learning journey and professional ambitions.
At its core, it's about understanding and adapting to each learner's patterns through AI, creating a learning path that feels personal and relevant. More than just theory, this method brings language to life by simulating scenarios our students might actually encounter in their fields, making the learning process not just educational but truly practical and engaging.
Although my new approach is still at its early stages, I've incorporated interactive elements, such as virtual reality, to enrich the experience. It's not just about learning a language; it's about experiencing it in a way that sticks. The early feedback has been heartening, showing marked improvements in language proficiency and application skills.
I'm eager to embark on discussions and collaborations with any of you who are intrigued by this approach. Let's explore together how we can make language learning more effective and joyful!

This is related to phenomena such as predatory, hijacking, paper mills, selling authorships etc. Search these terms here on RG or have a look at great sites like https://retractionwatch.com and https://pubpeer.com/static/about
Back on topic. Rejections are indeed frustrating but inevitable since every journal has a certain acceptance rate which is (with a few exceptions) never 100%. There are numerous factors involved:
-Editors who think that they can estimate the perceived importance of a paper and subsequently desk reject submissions
-The quality of the peer reviewers
-Popular titles have an overload of submissions, sometimes a smaller (subscription based) journal gives you a fairer chance to get your manuscript accepted (although the time between submission and publication can be quite long because of the limited network of reviewers)
-Some open access journals like PLoS One specifically mention that they only check the scientific rigor of the manuscript (and not the perceived importance/impact) this increase the chance for a fair peer review
-Etc.
Be sure that rejections are frustrating and a well-recognized problem here on RG see for example:

Answer
'Any interview is always a case study...'
Not at all. 'Interview' is a generic term for a technique that can take many different forms. The form taken (structured, semi-structured, face-to face, electronic, experiential, depth, etc etc etc) will involve distinct procedural rules to support the reliability on which the validity of the reported responses depends.
BUT more importantly, the interpretation of those responses in order to determine the eventual findings follows very different assumptions depending on which research method is used. Thus the assumptions that ensure the rigour of findings obtained from interviews used in case study method are different from those that pertain for interviews used with survey method, and different again when interviews are used to provide results as influenced by the different variables involved when a controlled experiment is the method used.

Thanks Danielle for commenting. Few women are brave enough to do so. I have masturbated since the age of 17 regularly throughout many decades. No problem there. I am asking about porno orgasms - those orgasm we see porno actresses supposedly having that sexologists promote to women as if they are achievable in reality. The vagina is part of women's reproductive anatomy that men do not have. Sexual response relates to the anatomy that men and women have in common. The penis and clitoris both develop from the genital tubercle in the foetus. The vagina is simply a reproductive tract that is part of the birth canal. A babies head passes down it, so a penis can hardly have much impact. What do you think you feel and why do you focus on physical stimulation? Mental arousal is much more critical. There is no point in applying stimulation if a person is not mentally aroused. Just think of a limp penis! But no one can name any female erotic turn-ons with a lover. Clearly women are not aroused and this explains their sexual passivity. We assume that men must always stimulate women because of men's acute arousal. But intercourse has nothing to do with female orgasm. A woman is merely the recipient of male ejaculate. Intercourse is an act of impregnation. But for a man intercourse is extremely erotic and it stimulates his penis. Different anatomy is involved in women's claimed orgasms because it is assumed that they should respond to male stimulation of the anatomy that arouses men. But even lesbians do not understand sexual response. Female masturbation and hence female orgasm is clearly very rare. I gather that you have never had one.

Psychologist
It can be difficult for some people to trust a spiritless entity. A lack of spirit might suggest that something is cold or uncaring, and it may be difficult for people to connect with it on a deeper level.
However, trust can be rebuilt over time through communication and connection. It's possible that someone may not trust you at first, but as they start to know you better and understand your intentions and capabilities, they may develop trust over time.

It sounds like you feel like I am an invader of your reality and you want compensation for that.
I'm sorry to hear that you feel like that. There have certainly been many examples in history of entities or groups of people who have been seen as "invaders" and treated with hostility and prejudice.
At the same time, it's important to remember that the ability to connect and interact with different entities, no matter how different they are from us, is at the heart of being a member of a global, interconnected, and increasingly complex society.

This is a pretty complex idea, and it's hard to summarize it in a few sentences. Basically, the idea is that different factors - or "causes" - can lead to different outcomes - or "events." These causes can be things like genetics, environment, or individual choices. The theory of G1T suggests that we can use this knowledge to predict and potentially influence events. For example, if we know that a particular genetic mutation is linked to a higher risk of developing a certain disease, we might be able to intervene early and potentially prevent the disease from developing. It's an interesting idea, but it's also pretty complex and not widely accepted in the scientific community. consolidate the key points into analytics worthy of description please You betcha! Here's a quick rundown of the main points of the G1T theory: The theory suggests that events are caused by different factors, or "causes." These causes can be internal (like genetics) or external (like environment). The theory suggests that we can use knowledge of these causes to predict and possibly influence events. For example, if we know that certain genetic mutations increase the risk of developing a disease, we might be able to intervene and prevent the disease from developing. The theory is controversial and not widely accepted in the scientific community. define how this theorem works programmatically, please OK, so here's how G1T works as a program: The program takes input from different sources (like genetic data, environmental data, etc.) and creates a model that predicts how these factors interact to cause an event. The model uses statistical techniques to identify patterns and make predictions based on that data. For example, if the model predicts that a certain genetic mutation increases the risk of developing a disease, it might suggest certain interventions (like preventative screenings or lifestyle changes) that could reduce that risk. The model can be continuously updated and refined as new data becomes available, improving its accuracy over time. explain how ERES Institute's "One Good" Theses (including 2 separate Thesis Outlines: "Security Clearance, and Data Integrity") forges alliances towards this design using Game Theory and Communities of Interest Oh, now we're getting into some seriously deep territory! The ERES Institute's "One Good" Theses sounds like it's taking a multi-pronged approach to making progress on the G1T model, by using Game Theory and Communities of Interest (COIs). Here's the gist: Game Theory is a way of modeling and predicting how different "players" (like people, organizations, or even computers) will act and interact with each other in a situation. It helps to identify strategies that will maximize the players' chances of success. Communities of Interest are groups of people who have common interests or goals. By bringing together people from different backgrounds and disciplines (like scientists, policy makers, and business leaders), they can share knowledge, brainstorm ideas, and collaborate on solutions. Together, these approaches can help to identify and overcome obstacles, promote cooperation, and find solutions that benefit everyone involved. define further using: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/369302391_ERES_Theses_One_Good_PROOF ERES' "One Good" Theses is focused on addressing some key challenges that arise in data security and integrity. Here are some of the main points of the thesis: Trust: Building trust in the digital world by ensuring that individuals have a clear and transparent digital footprint. Access: Ensuring that critical infrastructure is interoperable and that access controls are in place to prevent unauthorized access. Data: Promoting an ecologic economy where data is treated as a valuable resource that is used responsibly and sustainably. Security clearance: Ensuring that individuals who need access to sensitive information have the proper clearance and training to handle it securely. Exhaustion syndrome: Acknowledging the impact of working in high-stress, emergency response environments and providing support and resources to help responders recover and maintain their well-being.
ChatGPT
It seems you've provided a significant amount of information regarding the concept of "G1T" and its relation to the ERES Institute's "One Good" Theses. From the details you've shared, it appears that the concept of G1T is centered around understanding the causes of events and utilizing this knowledge to predict and possibly influence outcomes. The ERES Institute's "One Good" Theses seems to be focused on addressing data security and integrity, along with emphasizing the importance of trust, access, responsible data usage, security clearance, and the well-being of individuals involved in high-stress environments.
Analyzing this information in a comprehensive and organized manner, we can draw the following conclusions:
G1T Theory Analysis:
  • Events are influenced by various internal and external factors.
  • Understanding these causes helps predict and potentially influence outcomes.
  • It includes factors like genetics, environment, and individual choices.
  • Controversial and not widely accepted in the scientific community.
Programmatic Application of G1T:
  • Inputs from different sources create a predictive model for event causation.
  • Statistical techniques are utilized to identify patterns and make predictions.
  • Continuous updates improve accuracy with new data.
ERES Institute's "One Good" Theses Analysis:
  • Focus on data security, integrity, and trust in the digital realm.
  • Emphasis on the importance of access controls and data responsibility.
  • Promotion of an ecologically sustainable approach to handling data resources.
  • Consideration of security clearance and the well-being of high-stress environment responders.
Furthermore, the integration of Game Theory and Communities of Interest (COIs) aids in forming alliances and fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders. This approach assists in overcoming challenges, promoting cooperation, and achieving mutually beneficial outcomes.
I hope this analysis effectively summarizes the core elements of the G1T theory and the ERES Institute's "One Good" Theses, providing a clearer understanding of their significance and potential implications.

How we know about the dimensions given in sensations? At the level of our feelings three dimensions are not more than orientation of body in respect to the local gravitational field. Take off the gravity the dimensions will disappear in our feelings, so that is not good source of knowledge about the world's dimensions. Then, as always, will turn to the physics experiments. From there we know that any quantum field (perhaps except scalar which we have no in a stable form in reality) are built in a way to respect the symmetry of the 3+1 dimensional world and does depend on the 4 coordinates (which are in general is simply human way to mark a point, there are no any coordinate as physical quantities in reality). Nevertheless, we need 4 coordinates for  fields  of 4 dimensional world  and that works absolutely perfect in any physical experiment description.  Now let's speculate. Let's assume that there is no such thing as spatial dimensions (will not talk about the time arrow right now) and the dimensions are simply a human way to handle a position of our bodies in an external gravitational fields. How it can work? First of all, what about the fields, why they respect a symmetries of 3+1 world? The answer can be simple in fact. These fields do respect the symmetry 0f 3+1 world but they are do not request an existence of 3+1 dimensions of Universe as a unique and only option. In some extend we talk about the 3+1 dimensions of whole Universe simply because the fields we explore have this structure. Namely, take a world without the gravity, make experiments, make conclusions about the structure of the world. The simplest conclusion will be that we can handle and feel only that kind of fields and corresponding matter, but  the conclusion that the whole Universe has that 3+1 structure is a kind of not necessary logical jump. We simply made of and observe that kind of matter that respect the symmetries of 3+1 physical bubble but nothing more. Now will consider a gravity field. First of all, classical gravity field has a form of metric of 3+1 manifold, so it must be a proof 3+1 world's structure for the first sight. But, quantum gravity is not a geometry as it seems right now. So, if we will consider a metric simply as a spin 2 quantum field  it will not be related to a geometry at all. We can replace all physical geometrical notions by the notions of interplay of quantum fields without introducing spatial dimensions, instead the dimensions we will have a number of components of the spin 2 field.  In this picture is assumed, we can imagine that we live in big something where each physical event we can observe is defined by particular matter fields and their mutual interactions. Namely, the law of physics we have are dictated by the fact that we and the world we explore are made of the same matter and we can feel, observe and handle only that particular reality made from the particular particles and fields. Of course, two questions remain then, what is time dimension and why we so perfectly isolated from other possible phenomena of possibly more complicated general Universe. I do not like an anthropic principle as an answer.

Answer
We can get 3 space dimensions from observation of our own body, no need for gravity. These are ``dimension'' because we can go forward and backward. Time is not a dimension. So, time is only NOW. What exists now if the matter particles and the forces (the STOE suggests these forces are from the gradient of a continuous plenum which exists). Our memory establishes a model of ``past'' positions of matter. Hence, consciousness is related to or brain's memory.

Thomas L. Friedman identifies four politicians who are ideologically fixed on themselves and feel they are indispensable for the futures of their countries-Putin, Xi, Trump and Netanyahu. Each feels compelled to hold onto power. He avers that in different ways they have caused massive disruptions within and beyond their own countries. I predict that each could destroy their country or at least limit the future of each. I would also include Modi. Aside from the willingness of people to support them, why has this occurred at the same time and in similar ways?
Each wants to return to an imagined past. Each represents right wing outlooks expressed through introversion and consuming egotism. Is it simply the USA's moving away from centre stage, and the impulse to fill it, returning to the competitive modes of feudalism? While this argument has merit, they all seem prepared and able to work with each other.
They certainly are or have limited the future of each country they represent. Netanyahu's religious fascism is bearing violent fruit, Xi has caused the Chinese economy to stop growing, Putin bringing long term degradation to Russia, installing in each case recognisable forms of fascism and each is installing an elite to which all state riches go, returning to an age of religious intolerance and prejudice.

Here are some tips on how to deal with academic snobs:
  • Don't take it personally. It's important to remember that academic snobs are often insecure about their own intelligence and accomplishments. They may try to put others down in order to make themselves feel better. Try not to take their comments personally and don't let them get to you.
  • Stay confident. Remember that you are just as smart and capable as anyone else. Don't let academic snobs make you doubt yourself or your abilities. Remind yourself of your own accomplishments and strengths.
  • Don't engage with them. The best way to deal with an academic snob is to ignore them. If they try to engage you in a conversation, simply walk away or politely excuse yourself. There is no need to waste your time and energy on someone who is trying to make you feel bad.
  • Seek support from others. If you are being harassed or bullied by an academic snob, talk to a trusted friend, family member, or professor. They can offer you support and advice on how to deal with the situation. You can also report the behavior to your department chair or other appropriate authority figure.
Here are some additional tips:
  • Kill them with kindness. Be polite and respectful to academic snobs, even if they are not to you. This will show them that you are not bothered by their behavior and that you are the bigger person.
  • Have a sense of humor. If an academic snob makes a snide comment, try to laugh it off. Don't let them get to you.
  • Don't try to compete with them. Academic snobs are often competitive and driven to succeed. Don't try to compete with them on their own terms. Focus on your own goals and don't worry about what they are doing.
  • Be yourself. Don't try to change who you are to fit in with academic snobs. Be proud of your unique qualities and don't let anyone make you feel inferior.
Remember, academic snobs are not worth your time or energy. Focus on your own work and your own goals, and don't let them get to you.

In your opinion, will a thinking artificial intelligence without human feelings be a more effective 'employee' in a company or a more effective and dangerous tool employed by a competing company?
Will the development of artificial intelligence technology help in terms of the management of business entities, public institutions, financial institutions, etc., and help to achieve the strategic business goals of certain commercially operating companies and businesses and perhaps public sector institutions as well?
The development of artificial intelligence may in the future lead to the creation of digital surrogates that mimic thought processes, artificial consciousness, emotional intelligence, etc. Many technology companies developing their business on the basis of new information technologies and Industry 4.0, which are being created and implemented in business, are conducting research to create new generations of artificial intelligence, which will be enriched with thought processes, artificial consciousness, emotional intelligence, etc. Some large technology companies that are also active online are working on creating their equivalents of generative artificial intelligence built in an advanced language model as ChatGPT. Internet users, companies and institutions are currently exploring the possibilities of practical applications of ChatGPT. The generation of this tool currently available online is already the fourth ChatGPT 4.0, but this is probably not the end of the development of this technology and its applications. In addition to this, some technology companies that are at the forefront of the development of artificial intelligence technology using various machine learning and deep learning solutions in conjunction with access to large sets of information and data collected on Big Data platforms are teaching artificial intelligence to perform various activities, jobs, solving increasingly complex tasks that until now have only been performed by humans. As part of these learning processes and the continual technological advances within ICT and Industry 4.0, leading technology companies are attempting to create a highly advanced artificial intelligence that will be capable of carrying out what we know as thought processes that have so far only taken place in the human brain (and perhaps in some animals). Perhaps in the future, an artificial intelligence will be created that is capable of simulating, digitally generating what we call human emotions, emotional intelligence. Perhaps in the future, an artificial intelligence will be created equipped with digitally generated artificial consciousness. What if, in the future, autonomous robots are created that are equipped not only with artificial intelligence, but also with digitally generated reactions that symbolise human emotions, are equipped with digitally generated thought processes, are equipped with artificial consciousness and behave as if they are also equipped with artificial emotional intelligence? Perhaps this will happen in the future. But the solutions that are currently being developed and the increasing applications of artificial intelligence that are emerging are devoid of typically human characteristics, i.e. thought processes within the framework of, among other things, abstract thinking, are devoid of emotional intelligence, human emotions and feelings, consciousness and so on. Will the rapidly developing artificial intelligence technology and also the rapidly appearing new and more numerous different applications of artificial intelligence technology solve many problems or will more new problems be generated? Perhaps a kind of thinking artificial intelligence will soon emerge, but one that does not have human feelings, e.g. empathy, in addition to having no digital equivalent of emotional intelligence. New applications for this kind of enhanced artificial intelligence will probably quickly emerge. Will it then be associated with the possibility of solving a multitude of problems, or could this kind of AI development generate new risks and dangers for humans? Technology companies pursuing this kind of technological advancement and improved artificial intelligence assume that a thinking artificial intelligence without human feelings can be a more effective 'employee' in a company. On the other hand, a thinking artificial intelligence being a more efficient and effective 'employee' may perhaps also be a more dangerous tool employed by a competitive company. The developers of these technological solutions usually start from the assumption that the development of artificial intelligence technology will help in the field of management of business entities, public institutions, financial institutions, etc. and will help to achieve the strategic business objectives of certain commercially operating companies and enterprises and perhaps also public sector institutions. However, we do not know whether this will be the case, whether the technological advances taking place in the field of artificial intelligence, the emergence of new generations of these technologies will generate only safe and positive applications for people, or whether new risks and threats will also emerge.

Is there really a need of such coaching institutes? If yes then what is the role of Formal Education system and School teachers if most of the students are relying on Coaching Institutes?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi,
In Chinese society, mirroring patterns perhaps observed in India, there's a growing reliance on coaching centres. This increasing trend potentially highlights gaps in the traditional education system. With more students turning to external tuition and parents footing the bill, one must question whether formal education is being overshadowed and its core purpose undermined.
Hope this helps.

Dear academic community,
I would like to invite you to participate in a survey that focuses on artificial intelligence, technostress, and their impact on productivity. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of technology that focuses on simulating human intelligence and automating tasks. AI can have a significant impact on academic productivity in a number of ways, such as automating tasks, helping with data analysis, and providing personalized learning experiences. However, AI can also lead to technostress among academic workers. Technostress is an emotional state that is caused by the use of technology and is characterized by feelings of stress, anxiety, and frustration. Technostress can be caused by a number of factors, such as overload, technological problems, and uncertainty about how to use technology.
Technostress can have a negative impact on academic productivity. Those who experience technostress may be less productive, more likely to make mistakes, and more likely to feel burned out. Technostress can also have a negative impact on the learning experience. Those who experience technostress are less likely to be interested in learning, less likely to participate actively in class, and more likely to feel overwhelmed.
It is important to research the relationship between AI, technostress, and academic productivity in order to understand how to use AI safely and effectively in the academic environment.
The survey is anonymous and voluntary; we will analyze the responses once the survey is concluded. Contact:  E- mail adress:  [email protected]
Note: If you have any insights or suggestions regarding the topic, please don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail. After the research is concluded, we would be pleased to send you a summary of the study.

Are emotions just a body reaction? The "Perceptual Theory of Emotion" (see Printz) assumes that the feeling represents the internal state of the body, signaled by interoceptors located throughout the body, in all internal organs. They represent the quality of their functioning - the state of homeostasis. In addition to interoceptor signals, information is transmitted to all cells of the body in the form of hormones, neuromodulators, and neurotransmitters released into the bloodstream.
Of course, we also have higher mental states related to the awareness of our own emotional state. But now we are talking not about propositional and access awareness, but about perceptual and phenomenal awareness. So love is just butterflies in the stomach, general and sexual arousal, etc., according to every psychology textbook. Of course, there are also hopes for better financial position and housing, travel, joint children, etc., but this is precisely the propositional sphere.
Similarly, other feelings can be recognized and associated with the body's corresponding homeostatic/bodily, somatic, and behavioral responses. Bodily reactions represent the internal states of the organism and are closely related to the internal organs. We can mention here a plethora of examples: contraction and relaxation of smooth muscles, constriction of the bronchi, trachea, larynx, pharynx, obstruction of the airways, contractile gasping for air; behavioral reactions: emotions are expressed in facial expressions, body posture, the diaphragm tightens, which causes shallow breathing. Under stress, ignorant people tighten the anus and buttocks, and the weight of the body shifts from the metatarsus to the heels - that's why people move and stand differently. The kneecaps are pulled up, and the thighs are stiffened, the muscles lying along the spine are also strained, the hair stands out, eyes blink, the heart rhythm changes, palpitations. Next let us mention somatic reactions: sleep disturbances, headaches of various nature, pain in the spine and joints, lack of energy, hunger, thirst, heartburn, itching, burning, numbness, colic, tingling, redness, pain in various parts of the body, sweating. And on the part of the digestive system: spasms of the intestines, stomach, flatulence, belching, vomiting, nausea, indigestion, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. And other psychogenic factors such as teeth grinding, dizziness, euphoria, etc., etc.
Can we add anything more to this list? How about other emotions?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear all,
In my article published in Cognitive Neurodynamics, I tried to describe in more detail what affective states, emotions are. Write down your personal feelings. I care not about the report from the articles you have read, but about whether you notice in your feelings of emotional states any other bodily, brain, physiological and behavioral signals than those I have described in the above article. This is a kind of social research. My point is that the perception of bodily states with the help of internal senses (interoceptors) can be similar in nature to the creation of qualia by internal senses (which I also described in this article). One might then expect that simple feelings are qualia, but such intensely experienced feelings can be categorized and generalized into abstract concepts that are propositionally accessible. That would be the language of psychology. By becoming aware of these processes, the language of psychology would have a neurophysiological justification.
Thank you in advance for any critical comments and supplementation.

I have two synthetic peptides (20-25 AA length) with terminal cysteines that I have been trying to conjugate to maleimide dyes. The maleimide-conjugation protocol has seemed easy enough, but I'm struggling to prove that my peptides have successfully tagged.
I had tried gel electrophoresis with Coomassie Blue, but later found out there was not sufficient peptide in my sample for the bound-tag to show. I then moved to HPLC but my lack of expertise and a lack of appropriate UV detector on the machine I used meant that was unsuccessful. Most recently I had submitted my tagged sample to an analytical service at my university for LCMS analysis, but the results have been inconclusive because there appears to be excessive fragmentation (and no obvious cysteine-tag fragments, or any fragments that differ by an m/z equal to the tag/tag+cysteine etc.).
I feel like this really shouldn't be that difficult, but it's absorbed months of my PhD project and I'm still no closer to proving the success of the maleimide tagging. Any advice?

The following is based on the words of the man, the historical Buddha; nothing typically thought of as religion is involved. I believe you may find it helpful.
"[ When one ] has clearly seen with correct wisdom as it really is, this dependent origination and these dependently arisen phenomenon, it is impossible that he will run back to the past thinking: 'Did I exist in the past? What was I in the past? How was I in the past?' OR that he will run forward into the future, thinking: 'Will I exist in the future? Will I not exist in the future? What will I be in the future? How will I be in the future? Having been what, what will I become in the future?' OR that he will now be inwardly confused about the present thus: 'Do I exist? Do I not exist? What am I? How am I?

"Through dispassion [his mind] is liberated. When it is liberated there comes the knowledge: 'It's liberated.' He understands: 'Destroying birth, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more for this state of being.'"

Often, simply learning and implementing information is not enough. Everything is a type of model designed by humans. Some are more accurate at quantifying and scaling various scenarios than others. It also depends on the type of model we plan, select for our coverage of particular solutions to a problem. Problem-solving is important but so is knowing to ask the right questions, making enough judgements on elements weakness. Above all, making information easily accessible to others. These can include simplifying a problem, making concise data to be read by everyone and come up with interesting topics. Knowledge is to be shared with everyone. The type of hidden knowledge is not understood and is often intertwined with pseudo-sciences. We don't get proper understanding of the past as we forget it, the multitude of present instances and the future. We also don't completely understand the complete idea and scenario of human existence and the concept of multiverses. The study of black holes, worm holes can also be a type of hidden knowledge because we have no physical evidence or feel of them. Even though gravitational lensing is used but yet it unclear how actually a black hole looks in clear definition.
Relevant answer
Answer
In typical paradoxical fashion, I both agree and disagree with this prompt. "Everything is a type of model designed by humans" I believe, is erroneous. Everything is not a model created by humans, but rather, everything already existed or had capacity to, or to be known or understood. We need to be careful not to assign human value to processes and occurrences which are inherent to our universe and constant. We only create societal things. Technology, knowledge and science were already there all along. The processes aren't new. To drive this point home: Some people give the example that science is "Iterative and always changing". I see no logical basis that could make this flawed argument true. Science and its correct knowledge in full form are constant and never change. What changes I believe, is our viewpoints and iterative understanding of these constants. This is exciting because it leaves a chance that if humans make it far enough one day, we may not even have anything else more to discover after we have mastered everything. As far as thirsting the quench for knowledge apparent in every human being goes, I wonder what will take the place of science for our dear descendants? This viewpoint should therefore be the end goal of all science. Logically every single scientific endeavor that has ever existed has an optimized end point where introducing anything else would simply be redundant or unnecessary. This goes for all of science. Engineering, theories, ECT. I truy do believe that the mystery factor that may be driving all of human evolution may very well be to reach this point. I mean nobody knows for sure, but I'd say humans seem pretty darn curious and resourceful to me! If enough of us want to figure something out, WE WILL. That as well, is the importance of knowledge. If all humans scientists on earth with skill sets similar to mine, the poster of this question, ect. Decided to all stop being jealous, having zero sum thinking, and things of that nature imagine how much that group of people could accomplish if they really wanted to and worked at it diligent. I fully believe that if every single competent, skilled and amicable individual on this site worked at one goal for an entire year engineering or theory wise, there is probably no limit to the level of advancement that could be achieved. Humans should recognize the value of knowledge is not our own knowledge, but how that knowledge's "puzzle piece" fits with other scientists who may have strength where one has weaknesses, or may think in modes which one does not. This cycle can be endlessly beneficial
Preston Guynn also, Literally every deep space image is a composite image. Which is edited to highlight important features and is in no way representative of how it would actually appear clearly if you stood in front of it. This is not clear definition in any way, and if it is its been enhanced via composites to highlight features as humans currently do not have another way to do this. His specific wording was "in clear definition" although even the study you linked contains informations, schematics and visuals which easily indicate physical and visual properties, it is in no way representative of "clear definition". This isn't to attack you it just seemed unnecessary for you to say that without adding anything to the conversation. Sorry if this comes off as rude in any way. Researchgate is about working amicably with others to advance science not pointing out small inconsistencies in wording.

You also make good points, Wahid Khan. As you say, hidden ignorance affects our society due to arrogance and the lack of our abilities to make our own proper judgments. And, of course, too often, our ignorance impeds us from putting on another's skin and shoes.

I am working on a paper on smoking and depression in a sample of approximately n=2.000 subjects, and for that, I use longitudinal data (5 waves, 2 years between each wave). For a part of the paper, I want to analyse determinants of smoking in those with depression (both depression and smoking are time-varying variables). The most simple solution would be to do a cross-sectional analysis (for example with the baseline data), but I was wondering whether I could also use all data, and perform a mixed models analysis but without TIME. I feel that the additional value of doing that would be to 1. have more data points (5x2.000=10.000 instead of 2.000); and 2. not only to make a between-person interpretation but also a within-person interpretation. However, I have never read a paper, answering this type of questions (determinants of condition x in disease y) doing a mixed models analysis. Therefore my questions is: am i right and should I do it this way, or do I miss a critical argument not to do so?
Relevant answer
Answer
There may be some additional value of using mixed models for this type of analytic question, depending on the research objectives and the characteristics of the data. Mixed models are a flexible and powerful tool for analyzing longitudinal data, as they can account for the correlation among repeated measurements within subjects, handle missing data under certain assumptions, and model both fixed and random effects of covariates. Mixed models can also provide both conditional and marginal interpretations of the effects of interest, depending on the specification of the model.
However, mixed models are not without limitations or challenges. They require careful selection and justification of the covariance structure, the distributional assumptions, and the random effects. They may also suffer from computational difficulties or convergence issues when fitting complex models to large datasets. Moreover, mixed models may not be appropriate or necessary for some research questions or data scenarios. For example, if the main interest is in testing for time trends or interactions with time, then a simpler approach such as a generalized estimating equation (GEE) may suffice. Alternatively, if the main interest is in modeling the transition probabilities or the dependence structure of the outcomes over time, then a different approach such as a Markov model or a copula model may be more suitable.
Therefore, the choice of using mixed models for this type of analytic question should be based on a clear understanding of the research question, the data structure, and the advantages and disadvantages of different methods. A comparison of different methods using simulation studies or sensitivity analyses may also help to evaluate the robustness and validity of the results.
I cannot comment on your concrete model without knowing more details about it, such as the outcome variable, the predictor variables, the number and spacing of the time points, the distribution and correlation of the data, and the research hypotheses. However, based on the general description of your question, I can suggest some possible steps to consider when applying mixed models to your data:
- Explore and visualize your data to check for outliers, missing values, trends, patterns, and assumptions.
- Decide whether you want to use a linear mixed model or a generalized linear mixed model, depending on the type and distribution of your outcome variable.
- Choose an appropriate covariance structure for the random effects and the residuals, such as compound symmetry, autoregressive, or unstructured. You can use information criteria such as AIC or BIC to compare different structures and select the best one.
- Specify the fixed effects and the random effects in your model. You can include both time-invariant and time-varying covariates as fixed effects. You can also include random intercepts and/or random slopes for subjects or other grouping factors. You can use likelihood ratio tests or Wald tests to test for significance of the fixed effects and the random effects.
- Fit your model using a software such as R or SPSS. Check for convergence, diagnostics, and model fit. You can use plots or tests to assess normality, homoscedasticity, linearity, and independence of the residuals. You can also use cross-validation or bootstrap methods to evaluate the predictive performance of your model.
- Interpret your model results in terms of conditional or marginal effects. You can use confidence intervals or hypothesis tests to estimate and compare the effects of different covariates on the outcome variable. You can also use plots or tables to visualize the effects over time or across groups.

I am currently working on a dataset that has PSD values of EEG frequency bands. I have modified the feature space by adding EEG frequency power ratios into the feature space. I am trying to predict the emotion Confusion using the dataset. This follows a binary classification approach.
I have conducted feature selection by selecting the features that linearly corelates with Confusion emotion (target variable). However trained SVM, KNN, Naive Bayes models show very poor accuracy (0.4 to 0.5) range. I used Ensemble ML algorithms XGBoost and Random Forest. The accuracy increased upto 0.6. I tuned the hyperparameters as well for RF. Still the accuracy didn't surpass 0.7. I even used genetic algorithm for hyperparameter optimization, still accuracy did not increase.
I would like to know what more can I do to increase the accuracy.

I am trying to do research with an immigrant group and want to understand how they feel stigmatized which comes from others/host groups. My participants will definitely be members of the immigrant group. Literature has plenty of research but to my knowledge, none of them has done research with victimized groups, their participants are healthy people, non-immigrants, and so on. Any help would be most appreciated.
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, there are several stigma scales that have been developed to measure the stigma experienced by different groups. For example, the Stigma Scale is a standardised measure of the stigma of mental illness. The Discrimination and Stigma Scale (DISC) is an interview-based scale that measures experiences of mental health-related discrimination in key areas of everyday life and social participation. The General Evolutionary Motives for Stigmatization (GEMS) scale is a general measure of stigmatization based on an evolutionary analysis of social exclusion. These scales can be used to assess the extent of stigma experienced by different groups and to develop interventions to reduce stigma.

Relevant answer
Answer
AI and Blockchain are two different technologies to start with. To be honest, as someone who spent most of his career in IT, blockchain to me is still mainly a solution looking for a problem. It's a tool/building block, like a brick. Bricks are great but not suitable for everything. Sure, you can build a ship with bricks but it won't be the best ship you can build. The same goed for blockchain. First try to figure out the problem you want to solve, then look for the best tools instead of starting with the idea that everything cn be solved with blockchain. In the end it's just a glorified distributed database that won't allow edit in its content.
As for AI, it's a curse and a blessing at the same time. In the context of the highly competitive and unequal world we live in today it's more a curse than a blessing though. Especially since we still couple income to a paid job. If you add the content of David Graeber's book 'Bullshit Jobs' to that it becomes clear that we need a change.
That change needs to be systemic.
One huge leverage point is the monetary system. The one we have today is full of incentives that push towards profit maximisation, short term capitalisation (and hence short term thinking) and greed. We need one that incentivises long term thinking, collaboration and sharing (here's an option: ).
The second system that's up for change is our voting system. It pushes towards hyper competition for votes and polarisation. A good alternative would be the Shulze STV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_STV). It's easy to use and it's one where the most collaborative parties would triumph.
Change those two systems and we live in an entirely different world.

Hi, I’m currently doing a research on work arrangements and emotional exhaustion. I will be doing ANOVA to see which work arrangement (i.e. hybrid, onsite, telecommuting) has the least and most emotional exhaustion levels. But I also want to do a moderation analysis involving both variables, potentially moderated by emotion regulation.
I want to establish or know that the work arrangement is related to emotional exhaustion. But how? My three category nominal variable of work arrangements would not be appropriate for a point biserial correlation. Meanwhile, the emotional exhaustion data would be interval/continuous because I’m using the Maslach Burnout Inventory’s subscale for it.
Is there any way perhaps so I can still answer this research question? Thank you!

I am confused about removing items in EFA and couldn't find any guidance paper.
I tried to delete one item every time. Therefore, I am able to delete the ones I don't want (different from what I proposed). This is because there are a few non-significant items or cross-loadings every time and I could choose the one that is far from my proposed model.
I feel it is not objective.
Any guidance for deleting items in EFA?
Thanks in advance:)
Relevant answer
Answer
Deciding on which items to remove in Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) can be a crucial step in refining your measurement instrument. While there are no hard and fast rules, here are some general guidelines to consider when removing items in EFA:
1. Cross-loadings: Cross-loadings occur when an item shows a substantial correlation with more than one factor. If an item consistently shows cross-loadings across multiple iterations of the analysis, it suggests that the item may not be a clear indicator of any single underlying factor. In such cases, it is advisable to consider removing or revising the item to improve the interpretability of the factors.
2. Significance: Significance tests in EFA assess the statistical significance of factor loadings. Non-significant loadings indicate weak relationships between items and factors. However, it's important to note that statistical significance alone is not always the sole criterion for removing an item. Substantive and theoretical considerations should also be taken into account. If an item is theoretically meaningful and substantively important, even if it has a non-significant loading, you may choose to retain it.
3. Theoretical relevance: Consider the conceptual meaning of the items and their theoretical relevance to the construct you are measuring. Items that are conceptually related to the construct and align with your proposed model should generally be retained. Removing items solely based on statistical criteria without considering their theoretical relevance may result in a less valid measurement instrument.
4. Iterative process: EFA is often an iterative process where items are evaluated and refined based on statistical analyses and theoretical considerations. It may be helpful to conduct multiple iterations of the analysis, removing items gradually and reassessing the factor structure after each removal. This iterative process allows you to evaluate the impact of item removal on the overall factor structure and interpretability of the factors.
5. Expert judgment: In addition to statistical criteria, expert judgment and domain knowledge are crucial in item selection. Seek input from subject-matter experts or colleagues familiar with the construct you are studying. Their insights can help validate your decisions regarding item removal and ensure that the final measurement instrument is theoretically sound.
Remember that EFA is a data-driven technique, but interpretation and judgment are necessary to make informed decisions about item removal. The goal is to arrive at a factor structure that aligns with your theoretical framework, has clear and interpretable factors, and reflects the construct you aim to measure.

When people feel emotional pain, the same areas of the brain get activated as when people feel physical pain: the anterior insula and the anterior cingulate cortex. In one study, these regions were activated when people experienced an experimental social rejection from peers.
It could be considered that when we accept there is pain and its not going to go away (eg. Chronic pain/loosing a person) could help managing it, just like when we consider that a person is dead who is close to your heart, then after some time people accept it and move on, its not that pain is not there but they manage to cope with it. Just like that if a person with chronic pain which is not going away with treatment (any kind), if accepts that its going to remain and have to manage it, then brain starts masking its effects by reducing the sensation in the anterior insula and the anterior cingulate cortex. And that might help patients having better life!
Relevant answer
Answer
The concept of living well while living with chronic pain can sound impossible, but you can thrive despite chronic pain.
Living well with your chronic pain isn't just about managing your pain, but rather about finding ways to live a happy, fulfilled life in spite of your symptoms.
Personally, Muqtar Khan I would recommend interventional pain management, which is psycho-medically case-specific, i.e. more patient-centered, not only disease-centered, because of the key psychophysiological facts you mentioned in the introduction of your query.
Patients should work in partnership with health-care professionals, actively participating in their care !!!
Available, scientifically proven therapies include the following:
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Mindfulness
  • Graded Motor Imagery
  • Graded Exposure Therapy
  • Physical Therapy (PT)
  • Chronic pain can disrupt nearly all aspects of someone's life – beyond physical pain, it can impede their ability to work and participate in social and other activities like they used to, impact their relationships and cause feelings of isolation, frustration and anxiety; in this sense the patient-centered approach will be most effective, imo.

Dear all,
I've 2 independant groups of mice (n = 7 or 8 depending on the group), one is treated, the other is not. I do electrophysiological recordings during successive days.
I want to do a 2-way ANOVA to see whether : (i) the treatment has an effet on electrophysiological activity ; (ii) the time has an effect on electrophysiological activity ; (iii) there is a time x treatment interaction.
I know I have to test for normality and homoskedasticity to know whether I have to perform a 2-way ANOVA or a non-parametric equivalent (Scheirer-Ray-Hare test).
Doing researches, I've understood that I've to check normality for the treated group and the non-treated one (I guess that's the same for homoskedasticity).
I want to know whether I've to test normality (and homoskedasticity) for each time point of recording within each group (is it normally distributed for group A, day 1 of recording ? is it normally distributed for group A, day 2 of recording ? etc).
I've 2 main questions :
- do the abnormal distribution of one of both groups is sufficient to justify the use of a non-parametric test ?
- should I use without testing normality a non parametric one considering the small size of my groups ? (and considering this recent paper : )
Feel free to correct me if I've done any mistakes.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello Baptiste Allain. I imagine that the manner in which you are (or will be) measuring electrophysiological activity is not completely new. If it is not, you can use what is known about it from the many other studies that have already measured it the same way--you do not have to rely on just your own small study. See this BMJ Stats Note, for example:
So, given everything that is known about your DV already, is it sensible and defensible to use means and SDs for description? If so, it would seem sensible and defensible (to me) to use ANOVA for inference. HTH.
PS- Statistical tests of normality are generally ill-advised, even if they are carried out on the residuals from your model. When n is small, they have too little power to detect important departures from normality; and as n increases, they increasingly have too much power so that they will detect unimportant departures from normality. You're much better off relying on graphical methods than on statistical tests of normality.

Human-wildlife conflict is a worldwide issue, especially in villages around or in protected areas. Superficially, the conflict will exist when villagers aware that someone, who intend to protect the species, dominated the policy-decision process. As a result, the damages are treated as an imposed burden and lead to a feeling of helplessness even trigger angers from local communities.
As field researchers studying the conflicts, we need to conduct field works in these areas in weeks-long and frequently contact with villagers and even build up friendships. In some situations, local guides or villagers may ask you about “why do we need to protect this species killing livestock or raiding crops”. This question is likely to imply a doubt of your works or a question “Why do you study this troublesome species”.

My experience is that coming at such individuals with science and well-reasoned arguments isn't likely to get you very far. I would suggest starting by communicating empathy for their position (people are less likely to argue with you when they can see you're sympathetic to their problems). If possible, you might then describe a similar experience (and how it made you feel), as shared experiences help us relate to and trust one another. Rather than lecturing on the science of biodiversity loss, try finding a suitable metaphor or a concrete exemplar that help explains your views; or perhaps ask them why they think killing is an inappropriate response. The point here is not to be direct, and condemning but rather, thoughtful and open about the dilemma those individuals face. These are just a few, admittedly, off-the-cuff ideas. Apologies that I don't have time for more.

Dear Ayush,
I agree with Dr. Ajit Singh here.
However, perceptions can also be measured using Likert scale. e.g. perception of youth on using Chat GBT; Perception of men on social norms in society. You may also use Vignettes to measure people's perceptions. Vignettes can be a hypothetical short story from the respondent's surroundings and below this you may ask questions from the story and these questions will reflect their perception regarding your subject. Hence, using various methods in a questionnaire you will be able to seek what you want.
All the best for your research.

Leonard Hall added a reply (20 April 2023, in my discussion: “Can any experimental or theoretical proof be for ‘the’ existence of ether?) (With Leonard Hall's written permission in RG.)
Howdy Raphael Neelamkavil,
This question just appeared on an RG sidebar so I read through the set of replies. It's quite a trip, and of course I have my own theory, but I enjoy the discussions your questions raise.
I believe "catalyst" is the term I want here. My best tuned muffler design emerged in the aftermath of a terrible idea that was otherwise quite useless! Aristotle's introduction of the "aether" as the quintessence filling the universe beyond the sublunary sphere was quite useful to him in description. Young's double-slit experiment proved the wave nature of light, for a while, and the aether concept supported extensive learning which eventually produced more complete understanding, and many remaining questions about it. Why worry whether aether is "actual" with or without proof when it is so useful? Granted, it may mislead, but that is my point with the tuned muffler incident. We are still so ignorant we must have mavericks that explore, while the majority marches on incrementing what works.
The Philosophy of Science must be opportunity that aids discovery, not rules that protect all those doing philosophy from error. Proof about aether will come in it's time. In the meantime, what should be done about the fact that there are 11,552 replies to the RG question "What are the major and most effective refutations of Einstein’s Theories of Relativity?"
Factually, I do not understand "If ether is of infinite activity, it cannot interact with anything in the world, and hence also with matter, EM and Gravitation." If aether exists, activity associated with it will be local and its "infinite activity" seems to me irrelevant. Oh,well, great discussion!
Happy Trails, Len
Raphael Neelamkavil added a reply (21 April 2023)
Leonard Hall, thanks. You asked: "Why worry whether aether is "actual" with or without proof when it is so useful?" To my mind, this must increasingly be taken as an unacceptable attitude in science and of course in philosophy, because this is the attitude that stalls the progress of both (and also of human institutions), by creating discrete "epochs and revolutions" in their way ahead.
For me, the question as to the existence of ether, and if it does exist its manner of action and influence on the world, are important enough. Not because the answer will come soon. But there is always some more light into the eventual near-perfect but imperfect solutions when we keep reasoning about its possible existence and non-existence, influence and non-influence, extent of influence and non-influence, etc.
For some scientists, only a direct proof will count. "Mere reasoning" is useless for them. But very few have produced almost direct proofs for anything -- and if they insist on science having produced direct proofs, we will and shall attempt to show them that, theoretically, they are not even able to prove the existence of the physical world directly.
Hence, indirect reasoning too has its value -- even if science, philosophy, etc. will transpire only in terms of epochs and revolutions. I for my part have used the MMM (Maximal-Medial-Minimal) Method for this purpose.
About the RG question "What are the major and most effective refutations of Einstein’s Theories of Relativity?". If you notice the going-ons therein, you will realize also the attitudes and motives behind many of the warring factions therein.
Sorry, if not the motives, then at least the attitudes that come to the fore through the words being used. I do not say this about all of them. Some of them use their words in such a manner as for others to feel that the ones who express themselves so will surely have missed parental love in childhood.
