Highlights from Gamma-ray Observation by the Tibet ASγ Experiment

The Tibet ASγ experiment is located at 4,300 m above sea level, in Tibet, China. The experiment is composed of a 65,700 m2 surface air shower array and 3,400 m2 underground water Cherenkov muon detectors. The surface air shower array is used for reconstructing the primary particle energy and direction, while the underground muon detectors are used for discriminating gammaray induced muon-poor air showers from cosmic-ray (proton, helium,.) induced muon-rich air showers. Recently, the Tibet ASγ experiment successfully observed gamma rays in the 100 TeV region from some point/extended sources as well as sub-PeV diffuse gamma rays along the Galactic disk. In this proceedings paper, the observational results will be presented, followed by some future prospect.
Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of Bridge Dynamics under Moving Loads

Demand for freight to be transported by road increases in many countries, around the world. Consequently, we should determine an interval of vehicle velocities of minimal dynamic effects on a mixed bridge. For this, we describe the dynamic behavior of the type vehicle 12-b on the steel-concrete bridge by combining the model equations of bridge, apron and vehicle and propose a framework in which the overall model equations is solved using the newmark method. In this approach, a criteria of limited deformation on the mixed bridge is required from eurocode 4 to examine the vehicle velocities that lead to minimal dynamical effects. The sensitivity analysis is experimented and this provides a number of admissible velocities of the type vehicle 12-b that satisfies the requirements of our steel-concrete mixed bridge. This type of operation is of great importance in the monitoring of a bridge at the stages of its design, construction or maintenance. Monitoring is an essential step prior to any other management action, and in the context of this monitoring, the measurements represent important issues. This is particularly true for the two special surveillance actions, which are enhanced surveillance and high surveillance; in the latter case, measurements on structures even constitute an essential condition for the very existence of high-level surveillance, because they alone are capable of giving precise information in real time on the unfavorable development of a structure.
HypoSVI: Hypocentre inversion with Stein variational inference and physics informed neural networks

SUMMARY We introduce a scheme for probabilistic hypocentre inversion with Stein variational inference. Our approach uses a differentiable forward model in the form of a physics informed neural network, which we train to solve the Eikonal equation. This allows for rapid approximation of the posterior by iteratively optimizing a collection of particles against a kernelized Stein discrepancy. We show that the method is well-equipped to handle highly multimodal posterior distributions, which are common in hypocentral inverse problems. A suite of experiments is performed to examine the inﬂuence of the various hyperparameters. Once trained, the method is valid for any seismic network geometry within the study area without the need to build traveltime tables. We show that the computational demands scale efﬁciently with the number of differential times, making it ideal for large-N sensing technologies like Distributed Acoustic Sensing. The techniques outlined in this manuscript have considerable implications beyond just ray tracing procedures, with the work ﬂow applicable to other ﬁelds with computationally expensive inversion procedures such as full waveform inversion.
Habitat selection and foraging site fidelity in Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia) breeding in the Baltic Sea

Habitat preferences and foraging strategies affect population-level space use and are therefore crucial to understanding population change and implementing spatial conservation and management actions. We investigated the breeding season habitat preference and foraging site fidelity of the under-studied and threatened, Baltic Sea population of Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia). Using GPS devices, we tracked 20 adult individuals at two breeding colonies, in Sweden and Finland, from late incubation through chick-rearing. Analyzing foraging movements during this period, we describe trip characteristics for each colony, daily metrics of effort, habitat use, and foraging site fidelity. We found that daily time spent away from the colony increased throughout the season, with colony-level differences in terms of distance travelled per day. In general, terns selected shallow waters between 0–5 meters in depth with certain individuals using inland lakes for foraging. We show, for the first time, that individual Caspian Terns are faithful to foraging sites throughout the breeding season, and that individuals are highly repeatable in their strategies regarding foraging site fidelity. These results fill important knowledge gaps for this at-risk population, and extend our general knowledge of the breeding season foraging ecology of this widespread species. M.

THE PORTRAYAL OF HEGEMONY AND PATRIARCHY IN LOUISE O’ NEILL’S ONLY EVER YOURS

This study analyzes patriarchal hegemony portrayed in a dystopian world where young girls are hegemonized to fulfill patriarchal interests written by Louise O’ Neill, Only Ever Yours. As a counter to utopian writing, dystopian literature emerged as a subgenre of speculative fiction. The objectives of this study are to elucidate the kinds of patriarchal structures and media operated in portraying patriarchal hegemony in the novel. This study employs Antonio Gramsci’s hegemony theory along with the concept of patriarchy by Sylvia Walby. This study is literary criticism as the researcher interprets and analyzes the literary work. It employs a sociological approach for the analysis and Sylvia Walby’s six structures of patriarchy theory along with Gramsci’s theory. The data are taken from the words, phrases, and sentences in Only Ever Yours published in 2015. The researcher took the data by identifying, classifying and analyzing the data by elucidating the data with the theories. The result of this study shows that there are three patriarchal structures portrayed in the novel which are patriarchal mode of production, patriarchal state, and patriarchal culture. On the other hand, patriarchal hegemony is portrayed through the medium of television.
Search for B + → K + νν̄ and other electroweak / radiative penguin processes at Belle II

This contribution summarizes the first results from searches for electroweak and radiative penguin processes at the Belle II experiment installed at the SuperKEKB asymmetric energy electronpositron collider. The data sample considered by the analyses corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 63 fb−1 collected at the Υ(4S) resonance. A brief summary of a search for B → Xsγ decays is given. This flavor-changing neutral-current decay is sensitive to many Standard Model extensions. An excess is clearly visible in the expected region. The second result is a study of B± → K±`+`− decays. This analysis will provide an independent measurement to shed more light onto the recently observed deviations from the Standard Model expectations. A preliminary measurement of the B± → K±`+`− signal yield is discussed. The main topic of this contribution is a search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decay B → Kνν̄. A novel measurement method is developed, which exploits topological and kinematic properties of the decay that differ from both other B-meson decays and light-quark pair-production. This multivariate approach offers a significantly higher signal efficiency than the techniques used in previous publications. No signal is observed and an upper limit on the branching fraction of B → Kνν̄ of 4.1 × 10−5 is set at the 90% confidence level.
The Future of Technology-Based Learning at the Open University of Tanzania

Today, digital transformation in higher education reshapes traditional educational systems toward technology-based learning. In the wake of the global pandemic COVID-19, digital transformation has even accelerated at many universities worldwide due to the pressure put on policymakers and university management to adopt educational technology at their institutions to allow education to continue. Using the case of the Open University of Tanzania (OUT), this article discusses critical factors needed for the successful implementation of technology-based learning and other technological innovations like adaptive learning, for example, in higher education in an African context. We applied a Delphi design, a rigorous research method used for structuring a group communication process to allow a group of experts, as a whole, to deal with a complex problem effectively. In total, 24 experts (e.g., instructors, staff, and students) from different regional OUT centres participated in the Delphi study. The paper presents the results of the first round of the Delphi study on the challenges of technology-based learning identified at OUT providing the first insights into the perceived role, probability, and estimated realisation time of adaptive learning at OUT in the future. We argue that not only technological challenges linked to the internet, network, or technological equipment affect the adoption of technology-based learning in higher education, but also that pedagogical, organisational, and global challenges are indispensable for the successful transformation of higher education.
Bots for Pull Requests: The Good, the Bad, and the Promising

Software bots automate tasks within Open Source Software (OSS) projects' pull requests and save reviewing time and effort (“the good”). However, their interactions can be disruptive and noisy and lead to information overload (“the bad”). To identify strategies to overcome such problems, we applied Design Fiction as a participatory method with 32 practitioners. We elicited 22 design strategies for a bot mediator or the pull request user interface (“the promising”). Participants envisioned a separate place in the pull request interface for bot interactions and a bot mediator that can summarize and customize other bots' actions to mitigate noise. We also collected participants' perceptions about a prototype implementing the envisioned strategies. Our design strategies can guide the development of future bots and social coding platforms.
Capability assessment of production of n.c.a. isotope 177Lu on the average flux reactor IRT-T

The article discusses the possibility of producing 177Lu nuclide at the IRT-T mid-flow research nuclear reactor. The paper presents possible reactions on thermal neutrons with lutetium and ytterbium nuclei, on the basis of which a theoretical calculation of the activity of 177Lu, 177Yb and 175Yb was carried out taking into account the burnup over the entire energy spectrum of the central channel of TsK-1 of the research nuclear reactor IRT-T. The obtained theoretical calculations were verified experimentally by irradiation of enriched ytterbium targets. It is shown that upon irradiation of an enriched ytterbium target with a mass of 10 mg. within 3 weeks, the obtained activity of 177Lu was 23.05 GBq, while the activity of 175Yb was 2.55 GBq. Two Yb2O3 samples with masses of 3.4 and 4.7 mg enriched in 176Yb to 99.59% were irradiated under different conditions. The first sample (4.7 mg) was irradiated at a power of 100 kW for 60 minutes and the activity of 177Lu was 497.42 MBq, and the activity 175Yb was 97.95 MBq. The second sample was irradiated for 20 hours at 6 MW and the activity of 177Lu was 0.805, and the activity 175Yb = 0.155 MBq. Comparison of the calculated data and experimental results showed a convergence of less than 20%. The performed calculations and experiments make it possible to make a preliminary assessment of the activity that can be obtained during the production of the 177Lu isotope at the IRT-T research nuclear reactor, as well as to calculate the necessary radiation protection required for working with radioactive ytterbium and lutetium.
THE CORRELATION BETWEEN SCHOOL CLIMATE DIMENSIONS AND TEACHER WELL-BEING IN MALAYSIAN INDIGENOUS SCHOOLS

Background and Purpose: Teaching at indigenous schools located in rural and outskirt areas is no small feat. Therefore, the teachers at these schools require a consistent and supportive school climate to enhance teacher well-being. As such, this study examines the relationship between the dimensions of school climate and well-being of teachers. It also discusses the application of five dimensions of school climate, namely collaboration, student relations, school resources, decision-making, and instructional innovation. Methodology: Data for this quantitative study was gathered via a set of questionnaires. A total of 291 teachers from indigenous schools along the east coast states of Peninsular Malaysia, which are Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang participated in this study. A descriptive analysis of the findings was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), while an inferential analysis was conducted using PLS-SEM. Findings: The empirical results show a significantly positive correlation between the five previously mentioned dimensions of school climate and teacher well-being. Journal of Nusantara Studies 2022, Vol 7(1) 292-315 ISSN 0127-9386 (Online) http://dx.doi. org/10.24200/jonus.vol7iss1pp292-315 293 Contributions: The findings of this study affirm the relative importance of school climate and its impact on teacher well-being. This study is significant for the Ministry of Education, indigenous school administrators, teachers, as well as policymakers in developing suitable strategies to improve the school climate and teacher well-being in Malaysian indigenous schools.
Assessing the Efficacy of Ventilator-Associated Event Prevention Bundle in the Intensive Care Units: An Intervention Study

Background: The use of evidence-based information as a prevention package and the quality of nursing care are effective in reducing infection rates to prevent ventilator-associated event (VAE) infections. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ventilator-associated event (VAE) prevention bundle practices in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methodology: This interventional study was conducted between January 1 and March 31, 2019. Data were collected using the Introductory Characteristics Form Regarding the Nurse Group, Training Evaluation Form for Ventilator-Associated Event Prevention Bundle Practice, and Follow-up Form for Ventilator-Associated Event Prevention Bundle. Prior to study, ethics committee approval and nurses’ consent was obtained. The study was carried out with the intensive care unit nurses, and the period of the study included a total of 354 ventilator-days, 38 patients. Number, Percentage and Wilcoxon Test were used in the study. Results: Bundle general compliance in the intensive care unit reached a compliance percentage of 85%. In the study, it was observed that the rates of infection reduced in pre-, during, and post-intervention periods. Besides, the fact that the number of patients increased but ventilator days decreased within post-intervention period was remarkable. Conclusion: As a result, VAE prevention bundle practices, prepared in light of evidence-based guidelines, were found to reduce the rates of infection. The use of bundle practices in the intensive care units is recommended.
Harmonious development of integration and cooperation in agriculture as a factor in ensuring food security

The development of consumer cooperation in agriculture is one of the main conditions for solving many existing problems, including food security. However, in Russia this is not taken into account to the proper extent. So, for a quarter of a century after the Federal Law No. 193-FZ “On Agricultural Cooperation” adoption, it was not possible to significantly increase the share of agricultural products processed and sold through consumer cooperatives. At the same time, the integration processes in the industry are going on actively, that indicates the stimulation of property monopolization and the concentration of production in it. This hampers the solution of the food security problem, the development of consumer cooperation in the industry, the growth of employment and income in the countryside, and the solution of other important problems. The article substantiates the expediency and ways how to harmoniously combine integration and cooperation processes in the industry, as well as the principles that should be followed for this.
Physical and mechanical properties of mortars containing date palm fibers

This paper presents the results of a study conducted to investigate the effects of incorporating Sefri Date Palm Leave Fibers (SDPLF) into the mortar. A total of seven mixtures were prepared and tested. SDPLF were collected from local farms. The fibers were then cleaned, dried, and cut to different sizes of 10 mm, 20 mm, and 50 mm, maintaining the same individual fiber width of approximately 5 ± 2 mm. The content of SDPLF in mortars was kept to 1% and 3% by mass. The physical and mechanical properties of SDPLF fibers and SDPLF mortars were investigated. The compressive strength at 7, 14, and 28 days was determined. The water absorption rate test was carried out on mortars containing 1% SDPLF fibers. The results showed that mortars with SDPLF have lower workability, lower density, and lower compressive strength as compared to control mortars. However, they are still acceptable for use in construction works. Mortars containing 10 mm and 20 mm SDPLF fibers by mass showed significant improvement in terms of water absorption rate as compared to the control mortar.
Enhancing adsorption capacity and structural stability of Li1.6Mn1.6O4 adsorbents by anion/cation co-doping

Modifying the structure of Li1.6Mn1. 6O4 (LMO) to enhance its structural stability and adsorption capacity is an effective method to generate materials to recover Li+ ions from mixed solution. Herein, the co-doping of trace non-metal ion (S) and metal ion (Al) into Li1.6Mn1. 6O4 (LMO-SAl) is established and shows excellent Li+ adsorption capacity and Mn anti-dissolution properties. The adsorption capacity (when [Li+] is 6 mmol L−1) is increased from 26.1 mg g−1 to 33.7 mg g−1. This is attributed to improved charge density via substitution of S at O sites, which facilitates the adsorption/desorption process. The Mn dissolution is also reduced from 5.4% to 3.0% for LMO-SAl, which may result from the stronger Al–O bonds compared to Li–O bonds that enhance the structural stability of the LMO. The ion-sieving ability of the co-doped material goes by the order of Kd (Li+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > Na+ > K+), indicating that Li+ can be efficiently separated from Lagoco Salt Lake brine. These results predict that lithium ions are effectively adsorbed from brine by the co-doped LMO material, which manifests the feasibility of lithium recovery and provides basic data for further industrial applications of adsorption.
Detection of postural transitions using trunk-worn inertial and barometric pressure sensor: application to stroke patients

To better understand how rehabilitation therapy of stroke survivors is transferred in patient’s daily life, activity monitors exist but require multiple wearable devices and may hinder patient’s movements. In this study, the use of a single wearable barometric pressure sensor, placed on the trunk, is investigated as a complementary sensor to inertial sensors for reliably identifying Sit-to-Stand and Stand-to-Sit transitions in daily-life, key components of balance control. The pressure was first converted in altitude and then modeled using a sinusoidal fit. Kinematic features (from the inertial sensor) and altitude features from the model were included after selection in a Logistic Regression-based classifier. Data was collected on 12 stroke patients during a period of 9 hours and involving 345 transitions. A sensitivity of 93.2% and specificity of 89.2% was obtained. The results indicate that the proposed methodology can be used to monitor stroke patients’ lifestyle and evaluate the outcomes of rehabilitation.
Multiscale geovisual analysis of knowledge innovation patterns using big scholarly data

ABSTRACT Knowledge innovation is a key factor in industrial development and regional economic growth. Understanding regional knowledge innovation and its dynamic changes is one of the fundamental tasks of regional policy-makers and business decision-makers. Although many existing studies have been conducted to support in understanding knowledge innovation patterns, data-driven and intuitive visual analysis of georeferenced knowledge innovation has not been sufficiently studied. In this work, we analysed knowledge innovation by visually exploring big georeferenced scholarly data. More specifically, we first applied network analysis and statistical methods to derive key measures (e.g., the number of publications and academic collaborations) of knowledge innovation with multiple spatial scales. We then designed geovisualizations to explicitly represent the multiscale spatiotemporal patterns and relations. We integrated the analytical methods and geovisualizations into an interactive tool to facilitate stakeholders’ visual learning and analysis of knowledge innovation with a spatial focus. Our work shows that geovisualizations have great potential in supporting complex geoinformation communication in knowledge innovation.
Characterization of the Testis-Specific Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (tACE)-Interactome during Bovine Sperm Capacitation

A comprehensive understanding of molecular and biochemical changes during sperm capacitation is critical to the success of assisted reproductive technologies. We reported involvement of the testis-specific isoform of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (tACE) in bovine sperm capacitation. The objective of this study was to characterize the tACE interactome in fresh and heparin-capacitated bovine sperm through immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry. These interactions were validated by co-localization of tACE with beta-tubulin as an identified interactome constituent. Although interactions between tACE and several proteins remained unchanged in fresh and capacitated sperm, mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), inactive serine/threonine protein-kinase 3 (VRK3), tubulin-beta-4B chain (TUBB4B), and tubulin-alpha-8 chain (TUBA8) were recruited during capacitation, with implications for cytoskeletal and membrane reorganization, vesicle-mediated transport, GTP-binding, and redox regulation. A proposed tACE interactional network with identified interactome constituents was generated. Despite tACE function being integral to capacitation, the relevance of interactions with its binding partners during capacitation and subsequent events leading to fertilization remains to be elucidated.
