Amplifying Silenced Voices: A Critical Reflection on Challenges Facing Occupational Therapy Academics With Multiple Minoritized Identities
Authors: Smet Natasha , Andrion Jeffrey John
Published: February 2025

The issues faced by racialized; female; immigrant; and two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual/agender + (2SLGBTQIA+) occupational therapy academics and practitioners highlight the overlapping systems of oppression due to their multiple minoritized identities (MMIs). Through critical reflection, the authors bring to light how oppressive occupational therapy structures and processes continue to sustain Othering within the profession, including the paradox of occupational justice. The authors caution that ignoring issues faced by occupational therapy academics with MMIs might end in tragic intersectionality.

Positionality Statement: Natasha Smet identifies as an immigrant queer woman of color, scholar, and practitioner who was born and raised in South Africa during the Apartheid era when laws were enforced to segregate people solely on the basis of race. Although Apartheid ended in 1994, her experiential knowledge of systemic racism, overt discrimination, and oppression continued as a survivor of educational and academic workplace violence and abuse in the United States. Her lived experience of oppression continues to be her catalyst to disrupt white supremacy across academic institutional settings. Jeffrey John Andrion is a racialized, straight, cisgender, immigrant male academic who was born and raised in the Philippines. Although he is an immigrant settler of Canada, he is also a descendant of former colonizees in his native home country. With experiential knowledge of racialization and Othering, he grew up with the terms resistance and oppression. In this column, we define Othering as “the process whereby an individual or groups of people attribute negative characteristics to other individuals or groups of people that set them apart as representing that which is opposite to them” (Rohleder, 2014, p. 1306).
Power of Movement: Testing Animated Infographics on Water Conservation Knowledge
Authors: Jessica Holt  , Lamm Alexa J. , Qu Shuyang , Gibson Kristin E.
Published: February 2025

Water is a finite resource, necessary for sustaining all facets of life; however, it is often taken for granted. Recognizing a level of risk associated with a diminishing water supply, communicating with the public about their contributions to water issues so they will reduce unnecessary consumption is of utmost importance. This study used an experimental design to test recall of key water facts after engaging with an animated infographic, static infographic, or receiving no visual. The study utilized the Risk Information Seeking and Processing Model and the Critical Thinking Style literature as a foundation to further inform how and why individuals process water information and the impact of targeted communication efforts. The findings indicated an animated infographic significantly impacted information recall. In addition, critical thinking style did not moderate the effect. The findings implied the inclusion of strategic communication materials may engage individuals in risk-laden topics to draw attention and increase recall of information. Recommendations for future research include the further examination of how individuals store information for future information processing and reasoning, how critical thinking style may impact media channel selection, and if critical thinking style alters information gathering capacity. Regardless of critical thinking style or type of infographic, this study provided evidence for the creation and use of engaging information visualizations when providing scientific information with the intent of informed decision making around significant issues, like water, in the future.
Recentralization in Mexico: Reconfiguring the Center in Intergovernmental Relations
Authors: Báez Omar , Eaton Kent
Published: February 2025

Understanding recentralization as a vertical phenomenon requires careful attention to the horizontal distribution of power at the national level. We articulate a theoretical argument that emphasizes the content of the coalition that enacts recentralization, demonstrating that politicians can return power to the center without empowering the president. In Mexico, the pluralism of the coalition that pushed for recentralization from 2007 to 2018 led to institutional designs that avoided investing authority in the presidency and opted instead to empower a series of autonomous constitutional bodies. The Mexican case thus points to a simple but powerful hypothesis to add to the literature on multilevel governance: the broader that coalitions that push for recentralization, the wider the set of actors who will be empowered at the center of the political system.

The ‘Conquering’ Soldier-Merchants of the Balkans: Colonization, State Interventionism and Separatist Claims in the Danubian Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia (18th-19th Centuries)
Authors: Yıldız Aysel
Published: February 2025

This article studies the questions of self-rule and state intervention in the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, and the socio-economic life of a late frontier society against the backdrop of the eighteenth-century wave of internal colonization by Ottoman Muslims, mostly of Janissary background. It aims at revealing complex relations between agents on three levels: local (voivodes, boyars, commoners), the regional (Janissaries and other soldiery) and the imperial; while also examining the influx of Muslims into the Principalities and its consequences as an interplay between various claims of trading rights, provisionist policies implemented by the imperial centre and the autonomous desires of the native nobility. The paper contends that the tributary status of the Principalities provided a major advantage in protecting the local population against Muslim penetration, as manifested in the ensuing direct intervention of the Porte and consequent trade restrictions. From the mid-eighteenth century onwards, the policy of keeping the Muslim-Ottoman presence and activities in the region at a minimum and obtaining full liberty of trade became an important component in the struggle for economic detachment from the Ottoman orbit, which in the long run contributed to the nation-state formation in Romania.

Published: February 2025

The security of sensitive data is a crucial issue in the information age. While the existing encryption protocols cannot always guarantee the required level of security due to the rapidly increasing computational capability of attackers, developing new cryptographically strong encryption techniques is of great importance in modern computer science. One of the advanced approaches in the field of cryptography is chaos-based encryption. In this study, we propose an efficient algorithm for arbitrary multimedia data encryption using the novel finite-difference scheme with adaptive symmetry based on the Gingerbreadman chaotic map. In the experimental part of the study, we use several analysis techniques to prove the presence of chaos in the dynamics of the reported discrete map and investigate the dependence between system dynamics and symmetry coefficient. Parametric chaotic sets and the largest Lyapunov exponent plots are given to evaluate the dynamics of the investigated finite-difference model. NIST statistical tests were applied to assess the properties of the developed pseudo-random numbers generator, and correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the secrecy of the encrypted image. It is experimentally shown, that varying the symmetry coefficient can significantly increase the keyspace for the encryption algorithm based on the symmetric Gingerbreadman map. The results of this study can be used to develop encryption software, including secure text messengers or stream data ciphers.

U-Net-Based Models for Precise Brain Stroke Segmentation
Authors: İnce Suat , Kunduracioglu Ismail , Bayram Bilal , Pacal Ishak
Published: February 2025

Ischemic stroke, a widespread neurological condition with a substantial mortality rate, necessitates accurate delineation of affected regions to enable proper evaluation of patient outcomes. However, such precision is complicated by factors like variable lesion sizes, noise interference, and the overlapping intensity characteristics of different tissue structures. This research addresses these issues by focusing on the segmentation of Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) scans from the ISLES 2022 dataset and conducting a comparative assessment of three advanced deep learning models: the U-Net framework, its U-Net++ extension, and the Attention U-Net. Applying consistent evaluation criteria specifically, Intersection over Union (IoU), Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC), and recall the Attention U-Net emerged as the superior choice, establishing record high values for IoU (0.8223) and DSC (0.9021). Although U-Net achieved commendable recall, its performance lagged behind that of U-Net++ in other critical measures. These findings underscore the value of integrating attention mechanisms to achieve more precise segmentation. Moreover, they highlight that the Attention U-Net model is a reliable candidate for medical imaging tasks where both accuracy and efficiency hold paramount importance, while U Net and U Net++ may still prove suitable in certain niche scenarios.

Exploring the sensitivity of the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets at the last two glacial maxima to coupled climate-ice sheet model parameters

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Simulations of past periods are useful for testing the ability of numerical models to simulate ice sheet changes under significantly different climate conditions to present day. This can help improve projections of future sea level rise made by these same models and avoid over-tuning to particular (e.g. modern) stationary climate conditions. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; ~21 thousand years ago (ka)) has been extensively used for this purpose since it is relatively well constrained by empirical evidence. However, less is known about the Penultimate Glacial Maximum (PGM; ~140 ka) and why the vast ice sheets covering much of the Northern Hemisphere (NH), differed to the LGM. The answer likely lies, at least in part, in the different orbital configurations between the two periods, and the resulting impact on climate-ice sheet interactions. Here, we perform and compare the first large ensembles of coupled climate-ice sheet (FAMOUS-BISICLES) simulations of the LGM and PGM to better understand how NH ice sheets interact with the climate and quantify how sensitive the simulations are to the choice of uncertain model inputs, including physical parameter values. Specifically, we vary 12 uncertain parameters that control the model representations of ice sheet albedo, ice dynamics and climate. The ensembles are evaluated against palaeo-evidence of global mean temperature, ice volume and extent to calibrate the model and find combinations of parameters that simultaneously yield plausible ice sheets and climates for both periods. The sensitivity of the North American ice sheet and the Eurasian ice sheet during the LGM and PGM, to each of the 12 parameter values, is explored using Gaussian Process emulators to perform a Sobol sensitivity analysis. From the whole ensemble, we find two simulations that meet our evaluation constraints for the LGM ice sheets. The parameter values that influence the albedo of the ice sheet have the largest influence on the resulting ice sheet volumes, but several other parameters display different sensitivity indices depending on the ice sheet (North American versus Eurasian) and time period (PGM versus LGM). This includes parameters that affect the cloud liquid water, lapse rate, basal sliding and downscaling elevation heights.

Load Forecasting in Electrical Grids: Analysis of Methods and their Trends
Authors: Kyryk Valerii , Shatalov Yevhen
Published: February 2025

Main objective of this study is to analyze the progression of load forecasting methodologies for electrical grids, with a focus on identifying trends in performance metrics such as Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) over time. This analysis evaluates various forecasting approaches, including statistical methods, artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, ensemble methods, and hybrid systems, to un-derstand their evolution and current state. To achieve the stated goals, the systematic review of scien-tific studies and articles that have the necessary metrics was conducted. From them, it was determined which models were used and what forecasting errors corresponded to them. Also, the publications re-viewed within this study were distributed over time to take into account the dynamics of changes in the results. The most important results are the obtained graphs of the dynamics of forecast of error changes for different models by years, as well as the possible ranges of variation of this error. The results show that, although increasingly complex models are being developed, their accuracy gain remains inconsistent in different application contexts, provided that a single-type architecture is used. Hybrid models demonstrate a significant increase in accuracy, and, therefore, superiority over a single-type architecture. The significance of the obtained results is in the clear illustration of the development of the accuracy of forecasting models. They allow us to determine the optimal vector of evolution of subsequent studies, namely, what type of model should be used to forecast the grid load. This study proves the prospects of using hybrid methods in the area under consideration as well.

Determinismo de Spinoza, el Control de la Orientación y la Responsabilidad Moral
Authors: Casillas Abraham Garcia
Published: February 2025

El determinismo de Spinoza es frecuentemente considerado como uno que no considera la responsabilidad moral. Este articulo se enfoca en establecer ese sentimiento como incorrecto. El determinismo de Spinoza es derivado de su concepto de Dios, y este concepto no niega la responsabilidad. En establecer la responsabilidad moral considerando el determinismo, este articulo usara lo que John Fischer nombra el ‘control de la orientación.’ Este control, el que se supone que Spinoza estaría de acuerdo, establece la responsabilidad moral.
Aclaraciones sobre el concepto de conatus en Spinoza
Authors: Serantes Ángel Vicens
Published: February 2025

Este trabajo tiene el propósito de probar dos tesis fundamentales acerca del conatus en Spinoza, a saber: primero, que E3P6 no es ni añade nada distinto a E3P4 y E3P5; y segundo, que el conatus no es aquello que determina a las cosas a hacer lo que sirve para su conservación. Para probarlas, la investigación comienza con un repaso sucinto de las principales tesis de algunos de los más destacados defensores de la ya consuetudinaria interpretación del conatus, así como de los más célebres reproches que a dicha noción se dirigen, tales como el suicidio, la inconsistencia del argumento del conatus o la incompatibilidad de éste con un sistema filosófico eminentemente antiteleológico. Se mostrará que la lectura sobre la que se elevan estas críticas es errónea, para terminar presentado la aquí defendida como más coherente con el conjunto del pensamiento del hispanojudío, e inmune a los problemas mencionados.

Published: February 2025

The abuse in the use of antibiotics has resulted in the selection of bacterial strains with resistance to them, making it evident that new classes of antibiotics are needed, with novel structures to combat this trend, for this reason is necessary to find alternative sources. There are natural products, such as those obtained from green algae, that have an inhibitory effect against various pathogenic bacteria; this group of algae includes the genus Chlamydomonas. The objective of this work was to determine if extracts of the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii made with some solvents have antimicrobial activity. C. reinhardtii was propagated in BG-11 medium; under optimal light conditions (photoperiod of 16 h light: 8 h dark), constant aeration and temperature of 28 °C; the biomass was harvested and the extracts were made by adding 1g of wet biomass to a volume of 3mL of the following solvents: hexane, methane and ethyl acetate, and the determination of the antimicrobial activity was carried out by the Kirby-Bauer method. The microorganisms used were Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 259223, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9028, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 and Salmonella typhi ATCC 6534. It was found that the extracts obtained with methanol and hexane at the two concentrations used (23µg/70µL and 33µg/100µL) showed antimicrobial activity against the 5 ATCC strains used, when testing the concentration of 33 µg/100µL, a greater inhibition was found; the extract obtained with ethyl acetate did not show activity against any of the ATCC strains.

Published: February 2025

The  purpose  of  the study. The objective of this study is to examine the influence of a four-week plyometric box jump training regimen on the performance of competitive swimmers in the 50m breaststroke event, with a particular focus on evaluating alterations in sprint duration, stroke mechanics, and power output.
Materials and methods. Ten competitive swimmers (ages 18-25) with minimum 3 years experience were randomly assigned to experimental (n=5) and control (n=5) groups. The experimental group completed a 4-week plyometric box jump training program (3 sessions/week) alongside regular swim training, while the control group maintained only regular swim training. Pre- and post-intervention measurements included 50m breaststroke time trials, stroke rate, stroke length, vertical jump height, and post-exercise blood lactate levels.
Results. The experimental group showed significant improvements in 50m breaststroke performance with an average time reduction of 4.967 seconds (p < 0.05). They demonstrated increased stroke rate without compromising stroke length, suggesting enhanced power efficiency. The experimental group (-5.758s) showed greater improvement compared to the control group (-3.980s). Statistical analysis confirmed significance with calculated t-value (2.625717) exceeding critical t-value (2.26216).
Conclusions. A 4-week plyometric box jump training program can significantly enhance 50m breaststroke performance in competitive swimmers through improved power generation and stroke mechanics. The program effectively develops explosive strength and neuromuscular coordination specific to breaststroke requirements without compromising technique.

E-Commerce and Price Elasticity How Online Platforms Influence Consumer Choice
Authors: Mashaqbeh Hamza Mohammed Daher
Published: February 2025

E-commerce has redefined the global marketplace, adding dynamic pricing principle, and superior approaches to the proper implementation of revenue and consumer satisfaction. In this paper, various factors affecting outside the retail price are analyzed in detail, with emphasis on elasticity and newer technologies which give e-commerce pricing its inherently complex nature. Using real-time analytics to implementing machine learning methodology and using visualization tools such as visual analytics has helped the e-commerce platforms to improve response to the changes in markets and behavior of consumers. However, structural problems including price level disparities, costs of adjusting prices, and non-linear demand remain in place and essentially force firms to make ongoing fine-tuning of their methods.

Published: February 2025

The study deals with the dynamics of loan pricing within the Indian financial system, using Nash Equilibrium and ARIMA models, on two-wheeler loans. The objective is to assess market competitiveness among public sector banks (PSBs), private sector banks (PvtSBs), foreign banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) through interest rates, processing fees, and loan tenures. It shows how Nash Equilibrium can help in the strategic decisions of competitive environments and ARIMA as a predictive trend of loan pricing. Secondary data spanning from 2012-2024 will be utilized for the study and weighted average lending rates, comparative and descriptive statistics, and the application of forecasting models to predict the future. The findings show significant differences in the loan pricing strategies employed by financial institutions, and high market competition and imperfect economic conditions significantly impact pricing stability. This study thus contributes to the understanding of the optimal pricing strategy and its implications for borrower affordability and lender profitability.
Study on Oil Production Conditions Recognition Based on Standard Error Algorithm
Authors: Yan Xinhao
Published: February 2025

The dynamometer card contains plenty of information features of equipment status, technology, and conditions in oil production. It is of great significance to identify such important information accurately, rapidly, and conveniently for safe and reliable operation of the pumping unit, improving oil production technology, and real-time monitoring of oil production performance. A new method was presented to recognize oil production equipment conditions based on a standard error algorithm and also develop a mathematical model of a standard error matching algorithm. An argument about matching algorithms correlating to the degree of difference between graphics is first proposed. The reliability of the standard error matching algorithm and classic matching algorithm are compared in detail. An intensive study shows that the standard error matching algorithm highly correlates to the degree of difference between graphics, and the reliability of the standard error algorithm is better than that of the classical matching algorithms. A large number of dynamometer card recognitions have shown that standard error-matching algorithm has a fairly high reliability. Furthermore, this algorithm has terrific recognition accuracy especially to those dynamometer cards with minute differences.

Study on Coalbed Methane Well Production Forecasting Based on VMD and Hybrid Time Series Models
Authors: Zheng Qianyu
Published: February 2025

To address the challenges of non-stationarity and nonlinearity in forecasting daily gas production for coalbed methane (CBM) wells, a hybrid prediction model incorporating Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD), Convolutional Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM), and Sparrow Search Algorithm-optimized Support Vector Regression (SSA-SVR) is proposed. Initially, VMD adaptively decomposes the original time series into a series of intrinsic mode functions, followed by assessing each mode’s complexity via permutation entropy for precise feature delineation. CNN-LSTM is then applied to capture deep spatiotemporal features of highly complex components, while SSA-SVR effectively predicts lower-complexity components through regression. Ultimately, the predictions are linearly combined to determine CBM wells' daily gas production. Comparative experiments reveal that the proposed model attains a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.5158, root mean square error (RMSE) of 2.0608, and coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.9998, outperforming other commonly used models in prediction accuracy and generalization capacity. This framework presents an enhanced model structure for CBM daily production forecasting.
