Stigma, stereotypes, and status: How North American outdoor educators understand and experience masculinity

Although multiple studies have considered women’s experiences in the outdoor education field and the impact on women’s notions of gender, little research has been conducted on men’s experiences and ideas about gender in the outdoors. This research explores male outdoor leaders’ notions about masculinity and how they may shape their practice. Interview, observation, and artefactual data were recorded and analyzed to determine the 18 male-identifying participants’ ideas about masculinity in the outdoor education realm. Participants expressed confusion about rapidly changing gender norms, worries about stigmatization, distaste for hypermasculine performances, and a generally progressive outlook about gender issues. In addition, multiple participant statements reinforced gender essentialism, demonstrating adherence to a hybrid masculinity.
Genome-wide characterization and expression analysis of bHLH gene family in physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.)

The basic helix loop helix (bHLH) transcription factor perform essential roles in plant development and abiotic stress. Here, a total of 122 bHLH family members were identified from the physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.) genomic database. Chromosomal localization results showed that 120 members were located on 11 chromosomes. The phylogenetic tree manifested that the JcbHLHs could be grouped into 28 subfamilies. Syntenic analysis showed that there were 10 bHLH collinear genes among the physic nut, Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa. These genes, except JcbHLH84, were highly expressed in various tissues of the physic nut, implying a key role in plant development. Gene expression profiles showed that ten genes (especially JcbHLH33, JcbHLH45 and JcbHLH55) correspond to both salinity and drought stresses; while eight genes only respond to salinity and another eight genes only respond to drought stress. Moreover, the protein interaction network revealed that the JcbHLHs are involved in growth, development and stress signal transduction pathways. These discoveries will help to excavate several key genes may involve in salt or drought stresses and seed development, elucidate the complex transcriptional regulation mechanism of JcbHLH genes and provide the theoretical basis for stress response and genetic improvement of physic nut.

The results prove on underdeveloped villages in Aceh Selatan, the Village Government Leadership, Community Participation, Monitoring & Evaluation, and Development Performance are not in a good performance; the village government leadership, community participation, and monitoring & evaluation positively and partially affect development performance; and Village government leadership, community participation, monitoring and evaluation positively and simultaneously affect Development Performance. These findings also explain that the model for improving development performance in Aceh Selatan is a function of strengthening government leadership, increasing community participation, and strengthening monitoring & evaluation.
Lightweight polyester composites via nanoreinforced syntactic foams

Syntactic foams and their reinforcement with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) in a thermosetting polyester resin (PR) matrix were studied in order to provide a pathway for lightweight composites for automotive applications with enhanced performance including thermomechanical properties and water uptake. A novel method for coating hollow glass spheres (HGS) with CNC was developed. Various combinations of functionalized CNC and surface modified HGS were studied to determine interactions between the two materials. Surface analysis techniques indicated that CNC were successfully deposited onto the HGS surface and remained at the surface after compounding with PR. Dynamic mechanical analysis of composites samples indicated a 30% increase in high temperature storage modulus between CNC coated HGS samples and uncoated HGS samples. Shifts in tan(δ) peak intensity and beta-relaxation temperature also indicated an increase in interphase volume around CNC coated HGS as compared to uncoated HGS samples. Coating HGS with CNC reduced the maximum water adsorption by as much as 40% indicating the potential for this material system in high moisture environments.
Phase transitions and complex systems

The applicability of concepts from the theory of critical phenomena and phase transitions to complex systems (in relation with the edge of chaos hypothesis) is discussed. Different types of phase transitions are defined and their importance in generating fractal structures and optimal information transfer are stressed. Several examples from ecology, computation, evolution and social behavior are discussed. Some general consequences are outlined.

Distributed Optimal Power Sharing Strategy in an Islanded Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid to Improve Efficiency

In an islanded hybrid ac/dc microgrid (IHMG), ac and dc subgrids are connected via interlinking converters (ICs). For reliable operation of an IHMG, achieving distributed generators’ power sharing (DGPS) throughout the entire IHMG and ICs’ power sharing (IPS) is the main objective in an IHMG. To improve efficiency of an IHMG, minimizing operating costs of DGs is required and thus cost-minimized DGPS needs to be achieved. Similarly, when multiple ICs operate in an IHMG, efficiency-maximized IPS can further improve the efficiency of an IHMG, as total loss of ICs can vary by the IPS ratios. Thus, this paper proposes a distributed power sharing strategy to achieve cost-minimized DGPS and efficiency-maximized IPS simultaneously, without any communication lines for DGs. Incremental cost-based droop controlled DGs and distributed controlled ICs are coordinated for cost-minimized DGPS and a distributed optimal power sharing method of ICs is proposed to achieve efficiency-maximized IPS. The proposed strategy secures both cost-minimized DGPS and efficiency-maximized IPS, with only sparse communication lines among ICs, thus resulting in a significant improvement in IHMG efficiency and reliability.
Airborne Radiometric Surveys and Machine Learning Algorithms for Revealing Soil Texture

Soil texture is key information in agriculture for improving soil knowledge and crop performance, so the accurate mapping of this crucial feature is imperative for rationally planning cultivations and for targeting interventions. We studied the relationship between radioelements and soil texture in the Mezzano Lowland (Italy), a 189 km2 agricultural plain investigated through a dedicated airborne gamma-ray spectroscopy survey. The K and Th abundances were used to retrieve the clay and sand content by means of a multi-approach method. Linear (simple and multiple) and non-linear (machine learning algorithms with deep neural networks) predictive models were trained and tested adopting a 1:50,000 scale soil texture map. The comparison of these approaches highlighted that the non-linear model introduces significant improvements in the prediction of soil texture fractions. The predicted maps of the clay and of the sand content were compared with the regional soil maps. Although the macro-structures were equally present, the airborne gamma-ray data permits us shedding light on finer features. Map areas with higher clay content were coincident with paleo-channels crossing the Mezzano Lowland in Etruscan and Roman periods, confirmed by the hydrographic setting of historical maps and by the geo-morphological features of the study area.
Word-Embeddings Distinguish Denominal and Root-Derived Verbs in Semitic

Proponents of the Distributed Morphology framework have posited the existence of two levels of morphological word formation: a lower one, leading to loose input-output semantic relationships; and an upper one, leading to tight input-output semantic relationships. In this work, we propose to test the validity of this assumption in the context of Hebrew word embeddings. If the two-level hypothesis is borne out, we expect state-of-the-art Hebrew word embeddings to encode (1) a noun, (2) a denominal derived from it ( via an upper-level operation), and (3) a verb related to the noun ( via a lower-level operation on the noun’s root), in such a way that the denominal (2) should be closer in the embedding space to the noun (1) than the related verb (3) is to the same noun (1). We report that this hypothesis is veriﬁed by four embedding models of Hebrew: fastText, GloVe, Word2Vec and AlephBERT. This suggests that word embedding models are able to capture complex and ﬁne-grained semantic properties that are morphologically motivated.
Tracking Sequences of Patient-Therapist Dialogues by Coding Responses During Integrative Psychotherapy

Objective: The Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Scale (APES) to code the client’s responses and the Process Focused Conversation Analysis (PFCA) to code the therapist’s responses were applied to transcripts of a successful case of integrative psychotherapy of depression. Methods: The method used for the present research was a case study. Dialogues (150 conversations between therapist-client on the basis of meaning) between a therapist and a client in one case with a good outcome were coded and analyzed by two different systems of APES and PFCA. Results: The data revealed that combining the results of APES and PFCA is a suitable coding system for drawing a client’s change equation. In a pyramid of therapeutic change, questions, skills, and techniques applied by the therapist are located in the base, center, and high level, respectively. Meanwhile, higher APES levels are located at the top of the pyramid. The efficient intervention has to be delineated on the spot and is appropriate for a situation in which the client is at one particular moment. Case improvement has demonstrated that at high levels of APES, level 4 is the critical one. Conclusion: Setbacks and stagnations are common within psychotherapy and are generally affected by the main topic of the therapeutic conversation.

Association of Handgrip Strength in Various Disabilities in Korean Adults over 50 Years Old: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study

Several studies have shown an association between low hand grip strength (HGS) and functional limitations. This study aims to elucidate the association between HGS and functional limitations. We used the nationwide health examination data and included 13,517 Korean adults that were aged ≥ 50 years. We measured HGS using digital dynamometer and the maximum value of the dominant hand was divided into quartiles for the analysis. Functional limitations were assessed by using self-administered questionnaires. We categorized the 24 reported causes of functional limitations into musculoskeletal, cardiometabolic, neuropsychiatric, cancers, and others. In multiple regression analysis, the functional limitations tended to increase as HGS was lowered in both sexes. When analyzing according to the reasons of functional limitations, the ORs for functional limitations due to cardiometabolic problem tended to increase as the HGS decreased in men (p for trend = 0.039). Similar trends were observed in neuropsychiatric problem in women (p for trend = 0.002) and other problems in both men and women (p for trend = 0.014 in men, p for trend = 0.004 in women). No significant trends were observed for musculoskeletal problems and cancer in both men and women. The functional limitations were inversely associated with HGS, which were inconsistent according to different etiologies of functional limitations.
Quantifying and Understanding Forced Changes to Unforced Modes of Atmospheric Circulation Variability over the North Pacific in a Coupled Model Large Ensemble

While much attention has been given to understanding how anthropogenic radiative forcing influences the mean state of the climate system, far less scrutiny has been paid to how it may modulate naturally occurring modes of variability. This study investigates forced changes to unforced modes of wintertime atmospheric circulation variability and associated impacts on precipitation over the North Pacific and adjacent regions based on the 40-member Community Earth System Model version 1 Large Ensemble across the 1920-2100 period. Each simulation is subject to the same radiative forcing protocol but starts from a slightly different initial condition, leading to different sequences of internal variability. Evolving forced changes in the amplitude and spatial character of the leading internal modes of 500 hPa geopotential height variability are determined by applying Empirical Orthogonal Function analysis across the ensemble dimension at each time step. The results show that the leading modes of internal variability intensify and expand their region of influence in response to anthropogenic forcing, with concomitant impacts on precipitation. Linkages between the Pacific and Atlantic sectors, and between the tropics and extratropics, are also enhanced in the future. These projected changes are driven partly by teleconnections from amplified ENSO activity and partly by dynamical processes intrinsic to the extra-tropical atmosphere. The marked influence of anthropogenic forcing on the characteristics of internal extratropical atmospheric circulation variability presents fundamental societal challenges to future water resource planning, flood control, and drought mitigation.
The network structure of the VIA-120 inventory of strengths: an analysis of 1,255,248 respondents

ABSTRACT Traditional factor analyses used to analyze the structure of psychological strengths have yielded different solutions, not always confirming the original structure of 24 strengths corresponding to six virtues as proposed by Peterson and Seligman in their initial model. In contrast with previous factorial approaches, this study used network analysis to explore the map of strengths, assessed with the VIA Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS), in a large sample of individuals (N = 1,255,248) from the general population in the United States, Australia, Canada, and UK. The network analysis revealed four different communities (i.e., groups of strengths): Discernment, Interpersonal, Responsibility, and Energy. The strength most connected to other strengths was Gratitude, whereas Love of Learning was the least connected node. These results open a new way to conceptualize psychological strengths as a complex network of mutually interconnected strengths. These findings complement results from factor analyses that future research should replicate and validate.
Physiochemical and thermodynamic mechanical behavior of injection molded sized and de-sized CF/PP composites

ABSTRACT In this paper, a cheaper and an environment friendly hot water treatment method is developed to de-size the carbon fiber surface without significantly affecting its chemical nature. The surface characterization of the sized (without hot water treatment) and de-sized (hot water treated) carbon fiber was evaluated from the scanning electron microscopic, atomic force microscopic, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic test data. The effect of carbon fiber surface treatment on the physiochemical, static, and thermodynamic mechanical properties was studied. Also, the impact of carbon fiber surface treatment on the long-term durability and energy of activation of sized and de-sized CF/PP composites was evaluated by using the time-temperature-superposition principle. It was found that hot-water treatment changes the physical nature of CF by giving rise to a little surface roughness. However, its major functional groups (chemical composition) do not change significantly albeit their concentration changes to some extent. The de-sized CF/PP composites showed improved interfacial shear strength, Izod impact resistance, tensile and thermodynamic mechanical properties as compared to the sized CF/PP composites.

Acceptance of e-learning applications by accounting students in an online learning environment at residential universities

Technology acceptance models have been used in the higher education context to understand students’ acceptance of various learning technologies. Not only was the use of e-learning technologies heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the shift to predominantly online teaching and learning was abrupt. It has become clear that acceptance of e-learning technology will be crucial for higher education in a post-COVID-19 world. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the acceptance of e-learning applications by accounting students at residential universities in South Africa. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) was adapted for this study to examine the relevance of its constructs in understanding students’ intent to use e-learning applications. Accounting students registered at four South African universities completed an electronic questionnaire (n = 1 864). Structural Equation Modelling using the Partial Least Squares method was used to test the hypothesised relationships. The findings indicate that performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and habit have a significant relationship with behavioural intention to use e-learning applications. However, gender, academic performance, and level of study do not have a significant moderating effect on these relationships. The study reported in this paper contributes to technology acceptance research by testing the UTAUT2 model in a cross-institutional context with a larger sample size than used in similar studies. Furthermore, it has practical value for higher education policymakers, institutions, and lecturers in their attempts to adapt to blended and online learning models.
Quantifying the Statistical Relationships Between Flank Eruptions and Major Earthquakes at Mt. Etna Volcano (Italy)

At Mt. Etna volcano, flank eruptions are often accompanied by seismic swarms with damaging earthquakes; the most recent case‐history is the 2018 flank eruption, associated with a destructive earthquake (Mw 5.0). In this paper, we analyze the earthquake and eruptive catalogs from 1800 to 2018, to produce quantitative estimates of the earthquake rate under the influence of flank eruptions. We quantify that 30% of the flank eruption onsets precede a major (i.e., damaging, Ix ≥ V–VI EMS) earthquake by 30 days or less; 18% of the major earthquakes follow a flank eruption onset in 30 days or less. Thus, we show that the probability of major earthquakes increases 5–10 times after the onset of flank eruptions and this effect lasts for 30–45 days. This is also observed after the end of the eruptions. Results indicate different relationships depending on the location of the volcano‐tectonic systems considered individually (eruptive fissures, seismogenic faults). For instance, we describe a 10–20 times increased probability of earthquakes for 65–70 days after eruptions on the northeastern flank, and of new flank eruptions for 45–70 days after earthquakes of the Pernicana fault.
Prevalence and characteristics of findings related implant in panoramic x-rays

Introduction: In Colombia, the latest oral health study shows that about 70% of the population suffer from partial edentulism, while 5.2% lose all teeth between the ages of 65 and 79. Implant rehabilitation is an increasingly and widely used option, which requires clinical and X-ray follow-up. Panoramic X-ray examination is a low-cost option. In this case, the area of bone loss, the middle and distal angle of the implant, the relationship with the anatomical structure and the related lesions of periimplant inflammation can be observed. Data on X-ray findings associated with dental implants need to be reported and analyzed to determine risk factors for success in patients using these implants. Objective: To determine the prevalence and characteristics of findings related to osseointegrated implants in panoramic X-ray films. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional observation was used to select 10,000 digital panoramic photos from the radiation center in Bogota, Colombia, of which 543 were related to the presence of implants. The position, angle and distance from adjacent structures of each implant were evaluated using program ClínicalView® (Orthopantomograph OP200D, Instrumentarium, USA). Result: The X-ray frequency of implants was 5.43%. There were 1,791 implants, with an average of 3.2 X-rays per time. They have a higher proportion in the maxilla and are located on the crest at an angle of 10.3 degrees. 32% of patients had implant/tooth or implant/implant distance below the optimal value. 40.9% of the patients were repaired, and 1.2% of the patients had periodontitis. Conclusion: The high proportion of modified implants has a risk factor that affects their long-term survival, whether due to angle, ridge or ridge location, adjacent teeth or other implants, or because they are irreparable.
