How do people use human-made objects (artifacts) to learn about the people and actions that created them? We test the richness of people’s reasoning in this domain, focusing on the task of judging whether social transmission has occurred (i.e. whether one person copied another). We develop a formal model of this reasoning process as a form of rational inverse planning, which predicts that rather than solely focusing on artifacts’ similarity to judge whether copying occurred, people should also take into account availability constraints (the materials available), and functional constraints (which materials work). Using an artifact-building task where two characters build tools to solve a puzzle box, we find that this inverse planning model predicts trial-by-trial judgments, whereas simpler models that do not consider availability or functional constraints do not. This suggests people use a process like inverse planning to make flexible inferences from artifacts’ features about the source of design ideas.

Do children use objects to infer the people and actions that created them? We ask how children judge whether designs were socially transmitted (copied), asking if children use a simple perceptual heuristic (more similar = more likely copied), or make a rational, flexible inference (Bayesian inverse planning). We found evidence that children use inverse planning to reason about artifacts’ designs: When children saw two identical designs, they did not always infer copying occurred. Instead, similarity was weaker evidence of copying when an alternative explanation ‘explained away’ the similarity. Thus, children inferred copying had occurred less often when designs were efficient (Exp1, age 7-9; N=52), and when there was a constraint that limited the number of possible designs (Exp2, age 4-5; N=160). When thinking about artifacts, young children go beyond perceptual features and use a process like inverse planning to reason about the generative processes involved in design.

Human-made objects (artifacts) often provide rich social information about the people who created them. We explore how people reason about others from the objects they create, characterizing inferences about when social transmission of ideas (copying) has occurred. We test whether judgments are driven by perceptual heuristics, or structured explanation- based reasoning. We develop a Bayesian model of explanation-based inference from artifacts and a simpler model of perceptual heuristics, and ask which better predicts people’s judgments. Our artifact-building task involved two characters who built toy train tracks. Participants viewed pairs of tracks, and judged whether copying had occurred. Our explanation-based model accurately predicted on a trial-by- trial basis when participants inferred copying; the perceptual heuristics model was significantly less accurate. Efficient design ‘explained away’ similarity, making similarity weaker evidence of copying for efficient tracks. Overall, data show that like intuitive archeologists, people make rich explanation-based inferences about others from the objects they create.

Creative placemaking has been evolving from a narrow definiti on of applying art and design ideas to community projects into a more expansive, equity-focused field of practice. As the funder consortium Art Place America describes it, “Creati ve placemaking happens when artists and arts organizations join their neighbors in shaping their community’s future, working together on place-based community outcomes. It’s not necessarily focused on making places more creative; it’s about creatively addressing challenges and opportunities…. creative placemaking at its best is locally defined and informed and about the people who live, work, and play in a place.”

From the view of the point of the systems engineering, the model of 7D planning of product design is presented in this paper based on the previous work. The planning of products design includes design ideas, design environments, design objective, design process, design contents, design methods and the design quality evaluation methods, so named 7D planning model. Besides the understanding of the customer requirements, the seven aspects of 7D planning should be considered completely and planned systematically. The paper makes a detailed expatiation of the 7D planning model of synthesized design method based on systems engineering.

The architectural character of a building is based on different aspects. In order to understand the spirit of each building, we must study functional, associated and personal elements of it. Each architectural element differs in each aspect since each one is based on previous analysis and studies to be able to emerge and reach its purpose. The Montessori architectural project is based on research on the method of this system that provides environments prepared for the proper development of children in education. The classrooms, materiality, socialization, environments and spaces are studied in order to be able to generate and gradually form design ideas to generate the project in a successful way. It is decided based on the information obtained by previous studies, to use the neuroarchitecture design guideline to be able to meet the guidelines and objectives of this Montessori method, since this guiding concept goes beyond the study of space, but involves the emotions and feelings of the people who live the spaces. In this way, it is better understood that what guides us to the architectural design of the proposal based on the Montessori method are the studies of neuroarchitecture.

Many countries strongly rely on deradicalization path to solve terrorism catastrophe. However, they mostly still focus on the terrorists themselves and lack of attention to the people around them particularly their children. While in some local to the international cases of terrorism, children have involved actively in those acts. This article delivers a significant instance on how to avert the new generation of terrorism particularly from the kinship path. This article focuses on an Islamic boarding school or pesantren (Al-Hidayah) run by a former terrorist (Al-Ghazali) with the main purpose is deradicalization program towards the terrorists’ children. This article is based on the field research, the collecting of the data using depth interview as the primer data and exposure some references as the secondary data. This article found that deradicalization towards terrorist’s children is better under the education platform or pesantren, because it provides two things; firstly, children can gain their right to reach the education after they were marginalized even excluded from their former school. Secondly, it becomes a new home for the children where support the way to apply deradicalization program through the formal model (within the class) and informal model (out the class). There are four significant prograsm that Al-Hidayah pesantren applied namely a green school, life skill, tahfiz class, and trauma healing. Generally, it is success as a curative and preventive action. Although the pesantren receives some financial supports from the government and some other parties, it still struggles to raise more funds to provide free education for its student.

<b>Abstract:</b> Radicalism seriously threatens modern pluralistic communities. In recent times, many national states have put in place strategic plans to fight against radicalism, or to lessen the impact of radical ideas or behaviour. This is known as the process of de-radicalisation. This isn’t an easy process there are many reasons behind the growth of radicalism. One of these is the simple acceptance of differences without trying to understand those differences and the similarities of the people of a country. This can be signified by, and caused by a process of uniformity, which can be seen in the system of education. With this in mind, this article proposes a strategic, effective campaign against radicalism, beginning with a model of multicultural education. Multicultural education promotes the principle of inclusiveness, diversity, democracy and critical thinking which is appropriate for a pluralistic country which enables the education of people to live in a multicultural community. <b>Keywords:</b> Radicalism, inability to think, diversity, ideology, multiculturalism, multicultural education. <b>Abstrak:</b> Radikalisme menyebarkan ancaman serius terhadap komunitas pluralistis modern. Selama beberapa dekade terakhir, banyak negara di dunia menetapkan rencana-rencana strategis untuk berperang melawan radikalisme atau untuk mengurangi ide-ide atau perilaku radikal. Yang terakhir ini disebut dengan proses de-radikalisasi. Proses seperti ini tidak gampang karena banyaknya alasan di balik munculnya radikalisme dan salah satunya ialah karena adanya perilaku menerima begitu saja perbedaan tanpa ada upaya untuk memahami perbedaan dan kesamaan semua anggota dari sebuah negara. Hal ini ditengarai, disebabkan salah satunya oleh proses penyeragaman, termasuk dalam sistem pendidikan. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini menganjurkan sebuah kampanye strategis yang efektik untuk melawan radikalisme yaitu dimulai dengan merancang sebuah model pendidikan multikultural. Pendidikan multikultural mempromosikan prinsip inklusi, diversitas, demokrasi, dan pemikiran kritis yang cocok untuk sebuah negara plural yang memampukan peserta didik untuk hidup dalam sebuah komunitas multikultural. <b>Kata-kata Kunci:</b> radikalisme, ketidakmampuan berpikir, kebhinekaan, ideologi, multikulturalisme, pendidikan multikultural
