Consensus between informants is a valuable cue to a claim’s epistemic value, when informants’ beliefs are developed independently of each other. Recent work (Yousif et al., 2019) described an illusion of consensus such that people did not generally discriminate between the epistemic warrant of true consensus, where a majority claim is supported by multiple independent sources, and false consensus arising from repeated claims from the same source. Three experiments tested a novel account of the illusion of consensus; that it arises when people are unsure about the independence of the primary sources on which informant claims are based. When this independence relationship was ambiguous we foundevidence for the illusion. However, when steps were taken to highlight the independence between data sources in the true consensus conditions, and confidence in a claim was measured against a no consensus baseline (where there was an equal number of reports supporting and opposing a claim), we eliminated the illusion of consensus. Under these conditions, more weight was given to claims based on true consensus than false consensus. These findings show that although the illusion of consensus is prevalent, people do have the capacity to distinguish between true and false consensus.

When evaluating information, we cannot always rely on what has been presented as truth: Different sources might disagree with each other, and sometimes there may be no underlying truth. Accordingly, we must use other cues to evaluate information—perhaps the most salient of which is consensus. But what counts as consensus? Do we attend only to surface-level indications of consensus, or do we also probe deeper and consider why sources agree? Four experiments demonstrated that individuals evaluate consensus only superficially: Participants were equally confident in conclusions drawn from a true consensus (derived from independent primary sources) and a false consensus (derived from only one primary source). This phenomenon was robust, occurring even immediately after participants explicitly stated that a true consensus was more believable than a false consensus. This illusion of consensus reveals a powerful means by which misinformation may spread.

Da'i competence is demanded to be ready in everything. The da’i has an obligation to translate Islamic materials to the congregation properly. Recently, the tendency of a da’i to deliver da’wa material tends to be divided. Some offer peace, comfort, tranquility (rohmatal lil ‘alamien). But some others offer hatred, violence, fear, worry and so on. This kind of da'wa model indicates a serious problem with the da’i, namely "Arrogance in Da'wa". This research is a qualitative research using literature approach. Data sources consist of primary sources, namely Surat Al-Hasr: 18. While secondary sources are documents / literature, notes or other studies related to the research object. The results of the study stated that based on the analysis of Surat Al-Hasr Verse 18 that a da’i minimizes arrogance by understanding the contents of this Surat Al-Hasr 18. Da'i criteria contained in the content of the verse are sincere intentions, optimal endeavors, resignation and sincerity. These four things must be perfected through attitudes of technology and information alignment. A da’i is not only great in science but also adaptive to development. Accompanied by a comprehensive understanding of da’wa both personal da'i, da'i knowledge and an adaptive attitude based on the understanding of Islamic da’wa management, the objectives of da’wa will be achieved. Arrogance can be suppressed to a minimum and material will be more effectively accepted by the public.   Kompetensi da’i dituntut untuk selalu siap dalam segala hal. Da’i memiliki kewajiban untuk menerjemahkan materi-materi keIslaman kepada jama’ah dengan baik dan benar. Kecenderungan seorang da’i dalam menyampaikan materi dakwahnya saat ini cenderung terbelah. Sebagian menawarkan kedamaian, kenyamanan, kesentosaan (rohmatal lil alamien). Namun sebagian yang lain menawarkan kebencian, keberingasan, katakutan dan kehawatiran dan-lain-lain. Model dakwah semacam ini mengindikasikan adanya persolan serius pada diri da’i yaitu “Arogansi dalam berdakwah”. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan Pustaka. Sumber data terdiri dari sumber primer yaitu Surat Al-Hasr Ayat 18. Sedangkan Sumber sekunder adalah dokumen/pustaka, catatan atau peneiltian lain yang terkait dengan objek penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berdasarkan analisis Surat Al-Hasr Ayat 18 bahwa seorang da’i meminimalisasi arogansi dengan memahami kandungan Surat Al-Hasr 18 ini. criteria da’i yang ada dalam kandungan ayat tersebut adalah niat yang tulus, usaha yang optimal, tawakal dan ikhlas. keempat hal tersebut harus disempurnakan melalui sikap penyelarasan teknologi dan informasi. Seorang da’i tidak hanya kuat keilmuannya, namun juga adaptif dengan perkembangan. Dengan dibarengi pemahaman da’i yang komprehensif baik personal da’i, keilmuan da’i dan sikap adaptif da’i yang berdasarkan pada pemahaman manajemen dakwah yang Islami maka tujuan dakwah akan tercapai. Arogansi bisa di tekan seminimal mungkin dan materi dakwah akan semakin efektif diterima masyarakat.

Recent writings concerning measurement of political democracy offer sophisticated discussions of problems of conceptualization, operationalization, and aggregation. Yet they have less to say about the error that derives from the use of inaccurate, partial, or misleading data sources. Drawing on evidence from five Central American countries, the authors show this data-induced measurement error compromises the validity of the principal, long-term cross-national scales of democracy. They call for an approach to index construction that relies on case expertise and use of a wide range of data sources, and they employ this approach in developing an index of political democracy for the Central American countries during the 20th century. The authors’ index draws on a comprehensive set of secondary and primary sources as it rigorously pursues standards of conceptualization, operationalization, and aggregation. The index’s value is illustrated by showing how it suggests new lines of research in the field of Central American politics.

<p><span>The purpose of this study is to find information about the law of a wife to be a migrant worker from the perspective of fiqh. This study is qualitative research using library research and uses the fiqh approach. Data sources come from primary and secondary sources. The primary source functions as the main source, obtained by tracing the book of jurisprudence by analyzing the content (content analysis). Secondary sources function to support primary sources obtained through books, journals, and other important documents. The result is that the husband must rethink to permit wives who want to become migrant workers. Changes in Islamic law against migrant workers can occur if they meet the requirements including time, place, intention, and custom. The proof of <em>sadd al-dhari'ah</em> serves to inhibit the rate of sending women migrant workers.</span></p>

In our research using primary data sources we are searching for satisfactory evidences, that the impressive economical growth of China has a strong impact on Chinese grape and wine production, wine market. However grape cultivation has long tradition in China, modem grape wine and wine production has only started 20 years ago. During my research I have collected the very rare and unreliable information on this theme to make a picture of Chinese grape and wine production. Using primary sources describe the present situation of Chinese grape industry, verify the supposition that the rise of Chinese grape crop land includes the growth of the total size of wine grape plantations. After this verification I make a comparative analysis of Chinese and Hungarian grape cultivation costs, to confirm, that grape and wine producing is a more requital activity in China than in Hungary.

AbstractRecent work on language contact between Scandinavian and Low German during the Middle Ages widely assumes that the varieties were linguistically close enough to permit some kind of receptive multilingualism, and hence an example of dialect contact. Two arguments that have been invoked in support of this scenario are the lack of (1) meta-linguistic comments on flawed understanding, and (2) attested bilingualism. However, towards the end of the most intense contact period, in the early sixteenth century, there is indeed meta-linguistic information in the preserved sources suggesting that intelligibility was restricted. Furthermore, there are also examples of code-switching and active bilingualism indicating that the varieties were clearly perceived as distinct languages. This paper presents such examples from Norwegian primary sources that have not been observed in recent scholarship. Based on this evidence, it is argued that the relationship between the languages by the early sixteenth century was asymmetric, Scandinavians being able to understand Low German more often than vice versa.
