Te Ontstaan of niet te Ontstaan, Reductieve Vrijheid creëert Leven, Zijn en Dood
No full textDit artikel verklaart sterke emergentie in reductionistische termen. Twee wetten voorspellen de structuur van de werkelijkheid van de kwantummechanica tot het bewustzijn. De vrijheidswet voorspelt (op een reduceerbare manier) hoe en wanneer een nieuw systeem, ‘leven,’ of zelfs nieuwe ‘materie’ kan ontstaan en waar reduceerbaarheid stopt. Leven is hierbij natuurkundig gedefinieerd als een stroomsysteem van eindige omvang dat in de tijd volhardt. De levenswet, of Bejan's “constructale wet”, voorspelt hoe dit systeem of ‘leven’ zal evolueren of sterven. Als het blijft bestaan dan is het óf dood in die zin dat het (deels) ‘versteend’ is, óf het is levend in die zin dat het volhardt in zijn “ontwerp” terwijl het een proces is. Deze evoluerende structuur omvat en verklaart het “Evoluerende Blok Universum” van Ellis. Ter illustratie en als uitwerking worden deze wetten toegepast op onze hersenen en ons bewustzijn, en op de unificatie van de kwantummechanica en de algemene relativiteit – op universeel leven en op het leven van het universum
Targeting audiences’ moral values shapes misinformation sharing
No full textDoes aligning misinformation content with individuals’ core moral values facilitate its spread? We investigate this question in three behavioral experiments (N1a = 615; N1b = 505; N₂ = 533) that examine how the alignment of audience values and misinformation framing affects sharing behavior, in conjunction with analyzing real-world Twitter data (N = 20,235; 809,414 tweets) that explores how aligning the moral values of message senders with misinformation content influences its dissemination in the context of COVID-19 vaccination misinformation. First, we investigate how aligning messages’ moral framing with participants’ moral values impacts participants’ intentions to share true and false news headlines and whether this effect is driven by a lack of analytical thinking. Our results show that framing a post such that it aligns with audiences’ moral values leads to increased sharing intentions, independent of headline familiarity, and participants’ political ideology but find no effect of analytical thinking. Furthermore, we find that moral alignment facilitates sharing misinformation more so than true information. Next, we use natural language processing to determine messages’ moral framing and senders’ political ideology. We find that an alignment of moral framing and ideology facilitates the spread of misinformation. Our findings suggest that (a) targeting audiences’ core values can be used to influence the dissemination of (mis)information on social media platforms; (b) partisan divides in misinformation sharing can be, at least partially, explained through alignment between audiences’ underlying moral values and moral framing that often accompanies content shared online; and (c) this effect is driven by motivational factors
Post-16 students’ experience of practical science during the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on students’ self-efficacy in practical work

This paper presents the findings from a detailed study investigating UK undergraduate students’ experience of practical science in their post-16 studies during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also examines the perceived confidence and preparedness of the students in relation to areas of practical science skills at the start of their degree courses. The study employed an exploratory sequential mixed methods design, with the findings from focus groups with students at the end of their post-16 studies used to support the development of a comprehensive skills audit and quantitative survey for incoming undergraduate students. Survey data were collected in September and October 2021 from 275 students commencing Biosciences, Chemistry, Physics and Natural Science degrees at two universities in England.
The research is important because although almost all students had the opportunity to undertake practical work as part of their post-16 studies during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was considerable variation in students’ experiences. The data indicate that students’ self-efficacy in relation to practical science was impacted by the closures of post-16 education establishments, ongoing social distancing and the removal of the assessment criteria for students to have ‘routinely and consistently’ undertaken each of the practical assessment requirements. The research presents important considerations which are relevant for educators supporting students’ transition from post-16 to Higher Education
Implicit Social Attunement Alcohol Use: The Effect of Peer Feedback on Willingness to Drink in Social Settings
No full textAims. Social alcohol use is highly common and associated with heavier alcohol consumption, but most studies have focused on explicit measures of perceived social drinking norms. This study aimed to 1) develop an implicit social attunement (ISA) task to experimentally assess how willingness to drink alcohol is affected by social alcohol drinking (SAD), social non-alcohol drinking (SNAD), and social non-drinking (SND) settings and peer feedback on willingness to drink in these settings, and 2) assess how ISA is associated with explicit social attunement, age, alcohol use and alcohol use related problems. Design. Cross-sectional. Setting and participants. An online assessment completed by an international sample (N = 506, 60.1% female) of 16–60-year-olds recruited from the Netherlands. Measurements. The ISA task and questionnaires assessing alcohol use and alcohol use related problems, age, and explicit social attunement. Findings. Willingness to drink was highest in the SAD setting (p<.001). Lower peer willingness to drink induced higher ISA than higher peer willingness to drink (highest p = .036). Higher ISA to higher peer willingness in the SAD (r = .15, p < .001) and SNAD (r = .12, p = .007) settings was associated with higher alcohol use and related problems, while higher ISA to lower peer willingness in the SND (r = -.18, p = .002) setting was associated with lower alcohol use and related problems. Explicit social attunement, but not ISA, mediated the association between lower age and higher alcohol use and related problems (b = –.013, p = .009). Conclusions. Results indicate that peer feedback might act as protective or risk factor for alcohol use depending on the social setting and highlight the potential differences between implicit and explicit social attunement behaviors in their associations with age and alcohol use and related problems
