Where space is created societal values are generated – the case of the Sand Engine

A large sandy peninsula and beach were realized in Dutch coastal waters in the Sand Engine pilot project. In addition to the benefits for flood protection, the Sand Engine generates multiple other societal values. It provides a new type of landscape of uncommon size along the Holland coast where nature, culture, history and the future can come together. In this paper we discuss the added value of the Sand Engine for culture and the arts, its iconic value, and the development of knowledge in diverse sciences most notably morphology, archeology and paleontology, as well as its educational function. Then we explore how different governance modes can influence how the added value is generated and what type of societal value arises. We distinguish four different governance modes related to the level of control exercised and the level of autonomous societal development allowed by project initiators and managers: directive, co-creational, facilitatory and observational. Different modes can co-exist and may change over time. For the Sand Engine we find that the knowledge development was highly directed, archeology and paleontology were facilitated, while an observational mode was employed towards arts and culture. This leads to the inference that when the physical and societal space is created, societal value-added initiatives emerge. However, such emergence depends on the societal and institutional context as this can act to constrain or enable the type of societal value generated and the extent to which it is realized. Finally, we suggest that applying a more pro-active governance mode to the Sand Engine even at this stage could lead to more diverse and inclusive societal value generation.
Joined Interpretation of Buried Anomalies from Ground Penetrating Radar Data and Endoscopic Tests

This paper presents ground penetrating radar (GPR) results joined with and back‐upped by endoscopic tests performed in two churches. The aim of this work is to show how the endoscopic tests can help the interpretation of the achieved GPR images, and this will be shown with respect to two case histories in southern Italy. The usefulness of the endoscopic tests depends on the kind of targets, but is expected to be particularly useful in cases of buried cavities, where information about the volume and the possible past use of the cavity can be retrieved. In the examined cases, the endoscopic tests allowed the presence of three cavities to be established, helping also in the interpretation of their possible nature and use, even if the endoscopic probe was not gyroscopic nor equipped with a laser for the precise measure of the distances.

Does Double-entry Bookkeeping Information Generated Using node2vec Contribute to Forecasting Future Performance?

In recent years, an increasing number of studies have attempted to extract information from journals that cannot be conveyed in financial statements. Journals are valuable assets that enhance corporate value and companies’ competitiveness because they contain abundant information about past transactions. However, only a few studies have quantitatively clarified the value of double-entry bookkeeping and journals. Therefore, finding useful business knowledge in journals is currently difficult for managers and administrators. This study focuses on cross-reference information, which is unique to double-entry bookkeeping and not included in financial statements and trial balances. We then created new features to enhance the explanatory power of future business performance from journals. To achieve this objective, we constructed a graph based on journals, in which cross-reference is represented as edges. We create features unique to journal entry using two methods: network metrics and feature generation by node embedding. Finally, we tested for Granger causality using a vector autoregressive model constructed from created feature and performance. Our experiment showed that we successfully identified Granger causality within the unique features of double-entry journals for all five performance indicators of seven companies. Practitioners can use the identified features to build an alert system for sudden performance declines and facilitate understanding of their business. Future research will be necessary to verify the significance of double-entry bookkeeping and journal entries.
Less than 50 millimetres of rainfall in the previous month predicts fire in Tasmanian rainforest

Rainforests can be eliminated by repeated fire, so we need to know when they require protection. We use data from 11 extensive fires in western Tasmania to determine the meteorological conditions in which rainforest will burn. The variables that discriminated between fires that burned rainforest and those confined to other vegetation types were the amount of rainfall in the previous 30 days, the amount of rainfall in the previous 60 days and the soil dryness index (SDI). Our analyses confirmed a previously-suggested critical figure of 50 mm of rain in a month, showed that this figure pertains to the month previous to the fire, and showed that the forest fire danger index (FFDI) was not a good predictor, with fires burning rainforest on days with an FFDI at the lower end of the scale (Lake Macintosh) and not burning rainforest on days when the FFDI was at the higher end of the scale (Reynolds Creek and Giblin River). We conclude that it is important to respond to dry conditions in fire response planning for areas with rainforest, rather than relying on the FFDI.
Effect of Ohmic Heating on Food Products: An In-Depth Review Approach Associated with Quality Attributes

Nowadays, the market is full of lists of products produced by way of vivid processing, blended formulation, and other novel formulation practices. In a similar vein, ohmic heating (OH) has proven to be a successful replacement for traditional procedures. Although the microbial burden is substantially reduced, the aforementioned method also controls the sensory and functional qualities of meals. OH is regarded as a thermal treatment option that is less damaging to food constituents in comparison to traditional thermal methods. The said processing method retains vivid food constituents that are widely acknowledged under the significant nutritional and functional category, hence addressing healthy longevity. Furthermore, OH is the least severe category of thermal operation in competition with the most technologically advanced food processing operations. The current study emphasizes the crucial relevance of knowing the effects of OH on food ingredients, which will serve as a basis for optimizing this novel approach for a wide range of food products. The effects of OH on quality characteristics such as color, flavor, and texture are thoroughly investigated, offering vital insights into OH’s capacity to maintain and enhance the sensory aspects of food items. Furthermore, the study looks at the effect of OH on nutritional contents, emphasizing the need to strike a careful balance between ensuring microbiological safety and retaining the nutritional integrity of treated foods. This literature survey closely examines the impact of OH on microorganisms, enzymes, color, and rheological and textural attributes of food, along with the deterioration of diverse bioactive substances, including phenolics and carotenoids, as well as vitamins. Besides, the paper explains the effect of the inactivation mechanism of microorganisms. The findings serve as a platform for future research and development, as well as a road map for the effective deployment and commercialization of OH technology in a variety of food industries.
Morphometric Study of Humerus in Southern Indian Population

Anthropometry involves measurement of proportions of the human body such as muscles, adipose tissue and bone. The present study was aimed at determining the humeral lengths segments and comparing it with its entire length of humerus in southern part of Indian population. This can be helpful in approximating stature of individuals using typical regression equation. We also compared the data obtained with previous studies conducted on various people in the world, which are valuable both forensic and archaeological studies. One hundred and nineteen fully ossified dried and processed humerus bones (60 right, 59 left humerus) obtained from two medical colleges in Tamil Nadu state SRM medical college, hospital and research centre and Sri Ramachandra Medical College. The morphometric detail of the parts of humerus were measured using digital Vanier caliper. The 6 segments’ length precisely, from utmost proximal point of the head of humerus to the utmost distal point of the circumference of the head as section 1 (Sa-Sb), from the distal point of the circumference of the head to the convergence of two areas of muscle attachment as section 2 (Sb-Sc), and from the convergence of two areas of muscle attachment to the deltoid tuberosity as section 3(Hc-Hd), from deltoid tuberosity to upper margin of olecranon fossa as section 4(Sd-Se), From upper margin of olecranon fossa to the lower margin of the fossa as section 5 (Se-Sf), and from the lower margin of olecranon fossa to most distal point of trochlea as section 6 (Sf-Sg) and maximum length of humerus were measured to the nearest millimeter. The values obtained for the distance of each sections were 35.22±3.939mm, 44.53±5.025mm, 66.27±6.805mm, 125.54±11.429mm, 20.51±1.726mm, and 18.51±1.633mm respectively on the left side, making a total of 310.5763±23.257mm. The values obtained on the right distance segments are as fellow 34.48±3.223mm, 47.05±6.31mm, 67.10±6.942mm, 125.54±11.429mm, 20.51±1.726mm and 17.90±2.447mm respectively on the right side, making a total 311.767±23.435mm. In conclusion present study shows that there is no significant difference obtained for the morphometric measurements between left and right segments except in segment 2.
Data Sharing and Use in Cybersecurity Research

Data sharing is crucial for strengthening research integrity and outcomes and for addressing complex problems. In cybersecurity research, data sharing can enable the development of new security measures, prediction of malicious attacks, and increased privacy. Understanding the landscape of data sharing and use in cybersecurity research can help to improve both the existing practices of data management and use and the outcomes of cybersecurity research. To this end, this study used methods of qualitative analysis and descriptive statistics to analyze 171 papers published between 2015 and 2019, their authors’ characteristics, such as gender and professional title, and datasets’ attributes, including their origin and public availability. The study found that more than half of the datasets in the sample (58%) and an even larger percentage of code in the papers (89%) were not publicly available. By offering an updated in-depth perspective on data practices in cybersecurity, including the role of authors, research methods, data sharing, and code availability, this study calls for the improvement of data management in cybersecurity research and for further collaboration in addressing the issues of cyberinfrastructure, policies, and citation and attribution standards in order to advance the quality and availability of data in this field.
ACTIVITIES OF RETAIL UNITS AS AN ELEMENT OF BUSINESS MODEL CREATION

: Changes in the social paradigm, technological and digital trends, as well as the negative impacts of the macro environment are also reflected in changes in retail business models, which are becoming a multi-channel means of value creation. The aim of the present paper is to identify and examine the implementation of selected retail activities as a value carrier for retail establishment model identification, and subsequent segmentation and profiling of retail establishments. The paper is supported by primary research on a sample of 246 retail outlet managers using inquiry (semi-structured interviews) in Bratislava. The collected data were processed using descriptive and inductive statistics as well as higher statistical methods (EFA, CA). The results suggest five key areas in business model design, namely supply chain; online or digital world; communication and price; geo-marketing and customer satisfaction. Based on the above factors, three homogeneous groups of retail outlets can be identified.

Distributional Growth Paradigm in the Strategies of Sustainable Regional Development

The issue of bringing outsider regions closer to leaders in conditions of unequal distribution of assets in order to establish sustainable development is a big task, both on the part of the government and of the companies as well. The authors of the article raise the question of the choice of distribution mechanisms and their connection with the development of an optimal strategy for sustainable development. There are no universal tools in this regard, which means it is necessary to develop a complex combination of strategic decisions that takes into account the capabilities of the regions and the companies based there. Corporate strategies could significantly augment government action. This task is especially relevant for a country with a heterogeneous distribution of natural resources, among which Russia, making the emphasis is on fiscal decentralization as an equalization tool. Assessing its impact on the economy of Russian regions, the authors state that, despite its effectiveness in other countries, it is not workable for Russia. The solution seems to be the search for unique market mechanisms, the possible attraction of dynamic companies to the region and the selection of other mechanisms that trigger sustainable development.
Risk factors and antibiogram of human uropathogens in the northern part of Bangladesh: A cross-sectional study

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are a significant public health hazard for individuals with urinary tract infections (UTIs). This study identified, described, and classified antibiotic-resistant bacterial uropathogens in human urine samples and examined them for UTI risk factors. Between November 2020 and December 2021, 256 suspected UTI patients from the Popular Diagnostic Centre Ltd., northern Bangladesh, were studied. A well-structured questionnaire assessed sociodemographic parameters and risk factors. Early morning urine samples were examined bacteriologically for bacterial isolates. The Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method evaluated bacterial isolates’ susceptibility to 22 commonly used antibiotics. The frequency of UTIs was 51.56%. The infection rate was higher in females (64.40%) than in males (26.51%). Escherichia coli (41.66%), Enterococcus faecalis (23.48%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.93%) were the predominant uropathogens. Antibiograms revealed that imipenem, meropenem, amikacin, netilmicin, nitrofurantoin, gentamicin, moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, and cefepime were effective against the isolated bacteria. Most bacterial strains were resistant to linezolid, cephradine, azithromycin, nalidixic acid, cefuroxime sodium, co-trimoxazole, cefixime, and ceftriaxone. The isolates had a MDR rate of 88.6%. Age, place of residence, marital status, and prior antibiotic use were statistically associated with MDR UTIs. UTI patients often have MDR bacteria in their urine, requiring a comprehensive one-health approach to combating this evolving health issue.
Beach response to consecutive extreme storms using LiDAR along the SW coast of England

ABSTRACT Burvingt, O.J.P.; Masselink, G. , Russell, P., and Scott, T. 2016. Beach response to consecutive extreme storms using LiDAR along the SW coast of England. In: Vila-Concejo, A. ; Bruce, E. ; Kennedy, D.M. , and McCarroll, R.J. (eds.), Proceedings of the 14th International Coastal Symposium (Sydney, Australia). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue, No. 75, pp. 1052 - 1056. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. On the south west coast of England, the 2013/14 winter has been the most energetic period over the past 60 years, counting over 22 storms with recorded wave heights exceeding 10 meters. Pre- and post-storm aerial LiDAR surveys have been carried out by the Environmental Agency along the entire SW coastline. A total of 157 beaches have been selected from this dataset and morphological changes over the stormy period have been calculated and studied by processing the LiDAR data. This analysis shows the varying response of the beaches to the extreme storms and highlights two mechanisms involved in sediment transport. The results show that North coast beaches exposed to the main storm waves eroded, losing sediment offshore by cross-shore transport processes. Conversely, on the South coast beaches, where wave approach was more oblique, sediment was mainly transported along-shore resulting in beach rotation.
Zircon U-Pb Age from Basement Granites in Yishu Graben and Its Tectonic Implications

LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating was carried out for two basement granites from the Yishu graben to compare the tectonic evolutionary history between the Yishu graben and Songliao basin.The results indicate that most of zircons from the basement granites are euhedral to subhedral in shape and show the typical oscillatory zoning with magmatic origin,some of which display the core-rim structure.Their Th/U ratios range from 0.32 to 2.76,implying that they should be from crystallization of magma.The dating results indicate that a weighted mean 206Pb/238U age is 162±2 Ma for the basement granite from CH11 well(sample No.CH11),and that weighted mean 206Pb/238U ages are 159±3 Ma and 176±1 Ma for rims and cores of zircons from the granite in X13 well(sample No.X13),respectively.It is suggested that the basement granites were formed in late stage of the Middle Jurassic or the beginning of the Late Jurassic,which is consistent with ones of the latest basement granites from the Songliao basin.Therefore,it is proposed that the Yishu graben displays similar evolutionary history with the Songliao basin since the Yanshannian movement,which is also proved by the occurrence of the inherited zircons with age of 176±1 Ma.
Soil Geomorphology of the Millstone Site (36EL204) and Riverview Site (36EL203) Allegheny National Forest, Elk County, Pennsylvania

iv First Americans studies are dependent upon the discovery of Paleoindian campsites that have survived the degradations of time. Identifying buried alluvial landforms that contain stratified Late Pleistocene sediments is an important component in the search for Paleoindain sites. Recent archaeological investigations at the Millstone site (36EL204) have discovered evidence of stable Late Pleistocene land surfaces that are buried in alluvial terraces along the Clarion River located in northwestern Pennsylvania. Presented in this report are the findings of a detailed soil geomorphology study conducted on the soils and sediments at the Millstone site (36EL204) and the Riverview site (36EL203). Soil profile descriptions, soil particle-size distribution, soil-magnetics, X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical mineralogy, archaeological evidence, and chronometric dating of sediments were used to construct a chronostratigraphic framework for soils and sediments within the Clarion River Basin. Fine-earth fraction particle-size distribution patterns and coarse-earth clast morphology were successful in differentiating between alluvial and colluvial deposits. Depth plots of percent total clay, fine clay to total clay ratios, and soil magnetic parameters indicate the presence of weakly developed, buried B horizons. Lithologic discontinuities were identified by the presence of stone lines and pronounced variation in depth plots of clay-free, particle-size distribution parameters. Three allostratigraphic units were defined by the evidence derived by the soil stratigraphy and lithostratigraphy. Allostratigraphic units were found to be laterally persistent across both alluvial and colluvial landforms. Accelerated mass spectrometry (AMS) and optically stimulated
Corporate pollution and reputational exposure

We study the empirical association between corporate pollution and reputational exposure using a sample of 745 U.S. firms from 2007 to 2019 and an ordered probit model. Our results reveal an inverse relationship between chemical emissions and reputational exposure rating, after controlling for various firm attributes. We examine the roles of corporate governance structure and the demographic background of the top management team in the transmission process from polluting chemical emissions to reputation. Further, the negative impact of corporate pollution on reputational exposure rating is much stronger in areas where residents are convinced that climate change is happening. We perform several tests and analyses designed to mitigate endogeneity issues and correct sample bias to ensure the robustness of our findings. Finally, our results suggest that the negative effect is stronger for companies with higher information asymmetry, which indicates the importance of information transparency for firms' credibility.
Skin Microbial Community Associated to Strawberry Disease in Farmed Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792)

Aquaculture plays a crucial role in addressing the growing global demand for food. However, diseases associated with intensive aquaculture practices, especially those affecting the skin, can present significant challenges to both fish health and the industry as a whole. Strawberry disease (SD), also known as red-mark syndrome, is a persistent and non-lethal skin condition observed in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the United States and various European countries. SD is a nonlethal skin condition of an unclear etiology that affects rainbow trout reared in freshwater close to the harvest period. We used a RNA-based approach to examine active microbiota in the SD skin lesions and compared to non-injured skin. Our results, based on using 16S rRNA gene next-generation sequencing, showed that the skin microbiota was dominated by the phyla Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria. The comparisons of the skin microbiota between injured and non-injured samples showed differences in the alpha diversity (Fisher index) and beta diversity metrics (ANOSIM). At the genus level, both Pseudomonas and Candidatus Midichloria were highlighted as the most abundant taxa detected in samples obtained from fish affected with strawberry diseases. In contrast, the most abundant taxa in non-injured skin were Escherichia-Shigella, Streptococcus, and Pseudoalteromonas. In conclusion, our study on SD revealed distinct differences in the microbiota composition between skin lesions and non-injured skin. This is the first description of microbiota associated with SD-injured skin samples using an RNA approach.
