Long-term stability in seed dispersal syndrome abundances in a successional tropical dry forest experiencing climate change
No full textSeed dispersal is a crucial ecological function that shapes the species and functional composition of forests. Nonetheless, the combined effects of climate change and succession on the relative dominance of different dispersal syndromes remain understudied. Wind-dispersed species typically dominate early successional forests, whereas frugivore-dispersed species are more common in later stages. However, reduced precipitation and rising temperatures in tropical dry forests may shift species composition toward drought-tolerant, wind-dispersed species, raising questions about how dispersal syndrome composition may change during succession under climate change. Using a 30-year ForestGEO tropical dry forest plot in Costa Rica with repeated censuses, we examine whether the classic shift from wind- to frugivore-dispersed species persists during succession under hotter and drier conditions. Our results provide an empirical demonstration of functional stability in dispersal syndromes during secondary succession, despite significant demographic thinning. Although the forest has lost stem density and species richness, beta regression models and permuted null models revealed that the relative abundances of wind- and frugivore-dispersed species remained stable over time. Furthermore, while trees of both dispersal groups became slightly aggregated, their overall spatial pattern remained unchanged. These results challenge the expectation of directional functional change during succession, suggesting that dispersal syndrome composition may be resilient to climatic shifts
Embracing the Self: A Philosophical Approach to LGBTQ+ Well-Being
No full textUnderstanding and embracing one's identity is an essential part of human existence. This book explores the philosophical underpinnings of LGBTQ+ well-being, analyzing the intersections of identity, self-acceptance, and societal constructs. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, presents a compelling argument for the recognition of diverse identities as fundamental to the moral and ethical fabric of modern civilization. Published in New York in 2018, this work sheds light on the significance of inclusivity and psychological well-being, emphasizing the philosophical, ethical, and social dimensions of LGBTQ+ experiences.
The complexities surrounding identity and self-acceptance have long been a subject of philosophical discourse. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, investigates how societal norms and ethical considerations shape the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals. This book, published in 2018 in New York, delves into the historical, philosophical, and cultural foundations that contribute to the contemporary understanding of identity and well-being.
Philosophy has played a crucial role in framing discussions about selfhood and morality. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, defines the key philosophical terms that underpin the discourse on LGBTQ+ well-being, including identity formation, existential authenticity, and ethical responsibility. By drawing from both classical and contemporary philosophical traditions, this work establishes a framework for understanding the principles of self-embrace and societal acceptance.
Cultural, political, and social developments shape the narratives of LGBTQ+ individuals across different societies. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, examines the global context in which identity struggles unfold, highlighting both progress and persistent challenges. The phenomenon of self-repression, discrimination, and societal expectations are explored through philosophical and ethical lenses.
This book builds on several philosophical principles, including autonomy, authenticity, and ethical responsibility. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, argues that self-acceptance is not only a personal journey but also a philosophical and moral imperative that society must acknowledge. The role of ethical frameworks in fostering inclusive environments is emphasized throughout the text.
Indicators of LGBTQ+ Well-Being
Indicators of well-being include self-actualization, social support, and institutional recognition of LGBTQ+ rights. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, presents a detailed exploration of how psychological and philosophical perspectives contribute to the understanding of personal fulfillment and societal acceptance.
Operational Variables
This book explores variables such as legal protections, social perceptions, and individual resilience. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, presents a model of well-being that takes into account personal identity construction, societal recognition, and ethical considerations.
Determinant Factors
Several factors influence LGBTQ+ well-being, including historical contexts, cultural attitudes, and legal policies. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, examines these determinants in relation to the philosophical notion of justice and equality.
Implementation and Strategies
Strategies for fostering inclusivity and well-being include educational initiatives, legal reforms, and community support. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, proposes a multidimensional approach that combines philosophical reasoning with practical applications.
Challenges, Support, and Barriers
While progress has been made in recognizing LGBTQ+ identities, challenges remain in terms of discrimination, legal inequalities, and psychological struggles. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, explores the barriers to well-being and potential solutions grounded in philosophical thought.
Conclusion and Summary
This book presents a comprehensive philosophical exploration of LGBTQ+ well-being, advocating for ethical responsibility, inclusivity, and self-acceptance. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, concludes that embracing one's identity is not only an individual journey but a collective moral responsibility
State Power Abuse Prohibition Principle
No full textThis project develops the State Power Abuse Prohibition Principle as a general principle of public law that constrains abusive exercises of state authority. While the prohibition of abuse of rights is well‑established in international law and private law, domestic public law—particularly in Japan—has lacked an explicit principle limiting state power in its vertical relationship with individuals. This absence has contributed to structural weaknesses in judicial review, administrative litigation, and the control of discretionary powers such as parliamentary dissolution.
Integrating general principles of international law, the civil law doctrine of abuse of rights, comparative constitutional practice, and administrative law’s limits on discretion, this project reconstructs constitutionalism as a coherent framework grounded in cross‑domain general principles. It argues that constitutional democracies should recognise a general principle prohibiting the abuse of public power, given that international and private law already impose analogous constraints. The project further demonstrates how this principle can address long‑standing institutional vulnerabilities in the Japanese legal system and strengthen constitutional governance more broadly
Probiotics on Allergy in Under-Five Children: A Scoping Review
No full textthis review aims to: (1) identify the types of probiotic strains and dosage regimens most frequently studied in this demographic. (2) categorize the allergic conditions targeted (e.g., IgE-mediated vs. non-IgE-mediated). (3) identify gaps in the current evidence base, particularly regarding long-term clinical outcomes and safety profiles in early childhood. Using a PCC (Population–Concept–Context) framework, the review addresses the following research questions: (1) which probiotic strains and dosage regimens are most frequently studied?; (2) what types of allergic conditions (e.g., IgE-mediated food allergy, atopic dermatitis, non-IgE-mediated conditions) are being targeted?; (3) what are the identified evidence gaps, particularly concerning long-term clinical outcomes and safety profiles in this young population?
Journal policies related to transparency and reproducibility in psychology: A cross sectional study
No full textConcerns have been raised about a lack of transparency and reproducibility in the field of psychology (Munafò et al., 2017). Transparent research practices, like preregistration and data sharing, are increasingly used, but only for a minority of studies (Hardwicke et al., 2024). As gatekeepers of the scientific literature, journals are well positioned to improve research practices. There is some evidence that journal policies can increase the adoption of transparent research practices, particularly data sharing (Hardwicke et al., 2018; Nuijten et al., 2017). In order to inform further efforts towards journal policy improvement, it will be helpful to systematically describe the current landscape of psychology journal policies as they relate to transparency and reproducibility.
The study aims to collate and summarise the author-facing policies of psychology journals with regard to the following nine practices related to transparency and reproducibility: preregistration, sharing research materials, sharing data, sharing analysis scripts, computational reproducibility, reporting guidelines, conflicts of interest, funding, and artificial intelligence
Epidemiological Transition among Tribal Populations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Double Burden of Communicable Diseases, Undernutrition, and Non-Communicable Diseases
No full textThis project is a systematic review and meta-analysis designed to examine the changing disease patterns among tribal populations. Traditionally affected by communicable diseases and undernutrition, tribal communities are increasingly experiencing non-communicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity due to rapid socioeconomic and lifestyle transitions. The study will synthesize published epidemiological evidence to estimate pooled prevalence of infectious diseases, nutritional deficiencies, and chronic diseases, and to assess evidence of an ongoing epidemiological transition. Findings from this research aim to provide comprehensive evidence to support integrated and equity-focused public health strategies for improving tribal health outcomes
