Asia, Finance and the Liberal Script: Between Accommodation, Co-Existence and Contestation
No full textThis chapter investigates the growing importance of Asia within the global financial system and analyzes its implications for the liberal script. First, the chapter explores the place of finance within the liberal script, investigating the paradigm shift from embedded liberalism to neoliberalism and subsequently growing importance of capital-market based finance for economic allocation within the Western script. Second, the autonomous origins of developmentalism in Asian financial scripts are discussed which markedly differ from (neo)liberal conceptions of finance. Third, and moving beyond the neoliberal-developmental dichotomy, the chapter conducts a comparative analysis of the five largest Asian financial systems: China, Korea, India, Japan, and Singapore. In doing so, the chapter identifies significant variations of how Asian finance relates to the liberal script, ranging between accommodation, resistance, and contestation. While maintaining some developmental characteristics, Japan and Singapore largely accommodate the liberal script. In contrast, we can observe resistance to conform with the liberal script in Korea and India where developmental characteristics maintain a prominent role and steps are taken to enable a controlled co-existence. Finally, only China truly contests the liberal script, both through the intensity and international reach of its developmental characteristics but most importantly through other actors’ reaction towards it. The chapter thus illustrates that while there are significant differences between (more) developmental Asian and (more) neoliberal Western financial systems, the rise of Asia represents only a partial contestation of the neoliberal financial script, which cannot, however, be separated from broader geopolitical constellations that challenge the liberal script

Supporting Responsible AI Use Through Authorship Quizzing and Assistive Video AI: A University Pilot Study of Two AI Tools
No full textThe rapid expansion of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has created both opportunities and challenges for Higher Education (HE), particularly in relation to academic integrity, authorship, and student learning. This pilot study examined two emerging AI‑supported tools designed to promote responsible AI use, strengthen authorship authenticity, and support students’ comprehension and writing development. Using a mixed‑methods approach across two university cohorts in Australia, the study explored students’ experiences of AI tools offering personalised authorship quizzing (Auth+) and AI‑assisted concept explanation from video content (Tutbob). Findings indicate that students generally viewed Auth+ as a legitimate mechanism for checking authorship and reflecting on their writing, though high failure rates and cognitive‑load concerns highlight the need for caution when interpreting quiz performance. Tutbob was perceived as highly useful for simplifying complex material, enhancing understanding, and improving academic writing, despite technical limitations in processing fast or noisy audio. Across both tools, students expressed nuanced perspectives on AI, recognising its benefits while emphasising risks of over‑reliance, unfair advantage, and diminished critical thinking.
The results reinforce emerging international literature arguing that AI solutions must be embedded within broader institutional strategies rather than used as standalone detection mechanisms. The study highlights the importance of assessment redesign, AI literacy, transparent guidelines on permissible AI use, and inclusive tool design aligned with Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Together, these findings demonstrate that AI tools can support learning and academic integrity when deployed ethically, transparently, and in alignment with supportive institutional policy frameworks. The pilot provides early evidence to inform practice, policy, and future research on responsible AI integration in HE
Genercis, Attitudes and Attitude Holders
No full textWorld knowledge is often expressed, recalled, and acquired through generic statements, such as “birds fly” (Carlson, 2010; Gelman, 2010, Gelman & Roberts, 2017, Gelman, Goetz, Sarnecka, & Flukes, 2008, Graham, Nayer, & Gelman, 2011; Hollander, Gelman, & Star, 2002; Leslie, Khemlani, & Glucksberg, 2011). A large body of research has shown that both adults and children readily produce and comprehend generics and draw systematic inferences about kinds and their properties depending on whether information is framed generically or specifically. These findings have motivated a range of accounts, linking generic language to the formation and transmission of attitudes in the social domain, as well as to their negative downstream consequences such as stereotypes and prejudice (Rhodes, Leslie, & Tworek 2012; Berio, & Musholt, 2023).
By contrast, much less is known about how people reason about holders of such attitudes in the social domain, particularly when they are expressed as generic statements. This is because existing work has primarily focused on how generics gives rise to generalizations about kinds, rather than on how generalizations may extend to attitude holders. The present study addresses this gap. We ask how generic language influences judgments about another person, by investigating whether changes in attitude are more readily linked to broader changes in a person’s personality
Info-Educational Model to Improve Care Management, Empowerment, and Continuity of Care for Patients with Multiple Sclerosis (PROMISE Study Protocol)
No full textMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and degenerative disease of the central nervous system, leading to myelin and axonal damage. It typically manifests in early adulthood, most commonly during the third decade of life (Reich et al., 2018). Research indicates that individuals with MS actively seek to play an autonomous role in the decision-making process regarding their treatment and care (Heesen et al., 2004; Cofield et al., 2017). In response, clinical guidelines for MS management have emphasized the importance of providing adequate information and fostering patient participation in decision-making (Montalban et al., 2018; NCC-CC, 2004). This has led to the establishment of a ‘good practice’ code to support informed decision-making (EMSP, 2007). With the increasing availability of treatment options for MS, ensuring that patients have access to clear, high-quality information is more critical than ever. In this regard, a Cochrane systematic review (Köpke et al., 2018) evaluated the effectiveness of various information strategies. Understanding which tools provide reliable and comprehensive information—starting from diagnosis—is essential to support individuals with MS in making informed choices about their disease course
Examining the Impact of Emotional Awareness and Anxiety on Impulsivity in Bipolar Spectrum Disorders
No full textThe goal of this study is to identify psychological factors that are associated with impulsivity,
which may better inform the development of future treatments for impulsivity in BD.
Specifically, this study aims to examine associations between emotional awareness, anxiety, and
impulsivity across the BD spectrum. The interconnections between these areas are likely
dynamic and unfold in real time as individuals experience their normal daily lives. These
symptoms are complex and may change over the course of a single day. Collecting accurate data
cannot be completed through a retrospective laboratory where individuals are expected to recall
their states from days or even weeks ago. This poses difficulties for appropriately assessing
symptoms. For this study, we use Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMAs), which allow for
more accurate collection of data, as they require participants to report their states at the current
time in their normal daily environments
THORACIC SPINAL MANIPULATIONS: A SURVEY ON KNOWLEDGE, UTILIZATION, SAFETY, AND CONFIDENCE AMONG ITALIAN PHYSIOTHERAPISTS
No full textThis research project consists of a survey aimed at exploring the knowledge, attitudes, and clinical practices of Italian physiotherapists regarding spinal manipulations of the thoracic spine. The objective is to evaluate the frequency of use of the technique, the perception of safety, the level of professional confidence, and the main barriers that limit its application in daily practice, also assessing the influence of the educational background
Fonologia corporificada: uma agenda de pesquisa ancorada em fundamentos da cognição não cartesiana
No full textEste artigo discute criticamente a associação naturalizada entre cognição e atividade mental interna, argumentando que tal vínculo é resultado histórico da virada cartesiana e da consolidação de arcabouços cognitivistas amodais. A partir de uma reconstrução teórica que articula concepções pré-mentalistas de cognição e abordagens contemporâneas não cartesianas, em especial a cognição corporificada, sustentamos que conhecer é um processo situado, enativo e indissociável da ação corporal e da interação com o ambiente. No campo da fonética e da fonologia, argumentamos que a herança cartesiana contribuiu para a separação entre esses domínios e para a consolidação de modelos mentalistas que tratam a fonologia como um sistema abstrato e encapsulado. Embora abordagens emergentes, como a Fonologia Baseada no Uso e modelos captados pela Teoria dos Sistemas Dinâmicos Complexos (TSDC), representem avanços importantes, defendemos que essas perspectivas não garantem, por si só, uma concepção plenamente corporificada da fonologia. Como alternativa, propomos a Fonologia Corporificada não como um modelo formal ou paradigma substitutivo, mas como uma agenda de pesquisa comprometida com uma concepção não cartesiana de cognição, na qual corpo, ação e ambiente são constitutivos da arquitetura gramatical
