Selenodont artiodactyls (Camelidae and Cervidae) from the Leisey Shell Pits, Hillsborough County, Florida
Authors: Webb S. David , Stehli Frank G.
Published: March 2024

Two liama genera are represented in the Leisey Shell Pit by the largest samples of limb bones and dentitions known anywhere. Palaeolama mirifica has an especially distinctive dentition, with cervoid lower premolars, relatively low-crowned cheek teeth, thin cement narrow but scallop-edged incisors, and shallow mandible. These features are contrasted with the more hypsodent, cement-bearing cheek teeth and thicker, wider incisors in Hemiauchenia seymourensis. The latter genus was a mixed feeder, whereas Palaeolama was probably a browser. Analysis of the Leisey 3A sample of Hemiauchenia, in which newborns, yearlings, and two-year-olds predominate, indicates that a catastrophic summer flood massively drowned a herd of these llamas. A small sample of Odocoileus virginianus constitutes the only evidence of ruminants at Leisey.
The fossil record of Arctodus pristinus (Ursidae: Tremarctinae) in Florida
Authors: Emslie Steven D.
Published: March 2024

Cranial and postcranial elements of at least eight individuals of Arctodus pristinus (Ursidae: Tremarctinae) are reported from Leisey Shell Pit, an early Irvingtonian vertebrate locality within a marine shell bed. Dental measurements indicate that two distinct sizes, presumably representing males and females, are recognizable in the collection. This bear tentatively is referred from 13 localities in Florida, ranging in age from late Blancan to late Irvingtonian, and is a biochronological indicator for this period. Another tremarctine bear, Tremarctos floridanus, so far is known only from Rancholabrean localities in Florida and may have ecologically replaced A. pristinus.
Historical review of American crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) along the Florida Gulf Coast
Authors: LeBuff Charles
Published: March 2024

In this paper, I review historic and recent geographic distribution patterns of Crocodylus acutus in Florida, USA. I summarize reasons for the historical decline of its population in North America between 1930 and 1970. Major causes include hunting for the hide industry, pet trade, wildlife exhibitions, habitat loss, and road kills after 1938 when voluminous motor vehicle traffic was first introduced into their habitat. Individuals and groups of C. acutus became established along the coast of Southwest Florida over more than an 80-year period, but not to the habitat’s potential carrying capacity because of human interference. Recent changes in its distribution pattern suggest continual dispersal into Southwest Florida and the Florida Keys because of climate change and alteration of the population’s primary sites in South and Southeast Florida. Habitat destruction, because of dredge and fill development in the region’s coastal zone followed by an increasing human population, has limited successful dispersal and growth of the C. acutus population along the Gulf of Mexico in Southwest Florida. Recent occurrences of C. acutus in the region (excluding questionable inland sightings) extend its northernmost range to the northern end of Lake Tarpon in Pinellas County. Climate change may provide temperatures that allow C. acutus extension of its range northward along Florida’s southwest coast.
Early Pleistocene freshwater bivalves (Mollusca: Unionidae) from the Leisey Shell Pits, Hillsborough County, Florida
Authors: Bogan Arthur E. , Portell Roger W.
Published: March 2024

Unionid valves are reported from the early Pleistocene Bermont Formation at the Leisey Shell Pits, Hillsborough County, Florida. Collected from the base of Leisey Shell Pit 3 were numerous valves of Utterbackia sp. cf. U. imbecillis (Say 1829) and Megalonaias boykiniana (Lea 1840) and from the base of Leisey Shell Pit 1 several valves of Elliptoideus sloationus (Lea 1840) were collected. A matched pair of Megalonaias valves was also obtained from spoil at Leisey Shell Pit 1 and is most likely from the same horizon as the Elliptoideus. These southern Florida unionid remains represent the oldest Cenozoic freshwater bivalve fauna in the eastern United States. The fossil occurrence of Megalonaias and Elliproideus, 320 kilometers south of their modern range limit in the panhandle of Florida points to a major range contraction of these unionid species in peninsular Florida since the Pleistocene.
Gravigrade xenarthrans from the early Pleistocene Leisey Shell Pit 1A, Hillsborough County, Florida
Authors: McDonald H. Gregory
Published: March 2024

Two taxa of ground sloths are present at Leisey Shell Pit 1A Nothrotheriops texanus and Paramylodon harlani. The Irvingtonian sample of Nothrotheriops is sufficiently distinct morphologically to warrant separation from the Rancholabrean species, N. shastensis, and is referred to Nothrotheriops texanus (Hay) (new combination). Individuals of the Irvingtonian P. harlani average smaller than those of the Rancholabrean and there is a general size increase in the lineage from the Blancan to Rancholabrean with only minor morphological changes. Use of Paramylodon instead of Glossotherium for the species P. harlani is nomenclaturally correct.
Equus from Leisey Shell Pit 1A and other Irvingtonian localities from Florida
Authors: Hulbert Richard C.
Published: March 2024

Three species of Equus (informally designated Equus sp. A, Equus sp. B, and Equus sp. C) are recognized from the Irvingtonian (latest Pliocene-middle Pleistocene) of Florida. The most widespread and abundant of the three, Equus sp. A. resembles E. scotti and E. conversidens in most characters but is intermediate in size between these two species. It may represent a geographic variant of either of these or a distinct species. The types of E. leidyi and E. littoralis fall within the observed range of morphological variation and size in the abundant Leisey Shell Pit `1A sample of Equus sp. A. Equus sp. B, recognized primarily from the Leisey 1A locality, is a moderate-sized member of the subgenus E. (Hemionus) based on its slender metapodials and cheektooth morphology, and probably represents an undescribed species. Dental and metapodial characters and size distinguish Equus sp. B from the three other recognized North Amencan species of E. (Hemionus), E. calobatus, E. francisci, and E. pseudaltidens. The latter is proposed as a replacement species name for E. altidens (Quinn), which is a junior homonym of E. altidens von Reichenau. Equus sp. C, the rarest species of the three, is found only at Haile 16A and Leisey 1A. It is a large species with complex fossette plications, deep molar ectoflexids, and compressed lower incisors that lack or have poorly developed infundibula. Previously, Cope and Hay described similar material from Florida as E. fraternus, a name of questionable validity. The phylogenetic relationships of Equus sp. C with other members of the genus are uncertain pending recovery of cranial material, but a close relationship with E. (Amerhippus) is possible.

It is the science and planning of making quick machines, especially shrewd PC programs. It is associated with the relative endeavour of using laptops to get a handle on human knowledge, yet man-made reasoning doesn't have to confine itself to methods that are normally perceivable. Hence, in this paper, we aim to infer the intellectual development of AI and ML in finance research, adopting a scoping review combined with an embedded review to pursue and scrutinize the services of these concepts. While no consensual significance of Mechanized thinking (mimicked knowledge) exists, recreated insight is widely depicted as the examination of computations that consider understanding, reason and movement. Today, how much data that is delivered, by individuals and machines, far overwhelms individuals' ability to hold, unravel, and go with complex decisions considering that data. This paper investigates components of man-made thinking, show, implications of computerized reasoning, history, applications, advancement and achievements. The field of simulated intelligence (ML) is satisfactorily energetic that it is at this point stretching out at an accelerating pace, lying at the intersection of programming and experiences, and at the focal point of modernized thinking (man-made consciousness) and data science. Late progression in ML has been driven both by the improvement of new learning computations speculation, and by the persistent shoot in the availability of huge proportion of data (habitually implied as "enormous data") and negligible cost estimation. The gathering of ML-based approaches can be tracked down all through science, advancement and industry, inciting more confirmation based powerful across various foundations, including clinical benefits, biomedicine, creating, guidance, financial illustrating, data organization, policing, and advancing. As a rule, we entrust that this work will help with getting a handle on the geo examples of ML moves close and their congruity in various real spaces, as well as go about as a sort of viewpoint point for both academic local area and industry specialists, particularly from a specific, moral and managerial point of view.

Published: March 2024

Photovoltaic (PV) powered standalone electrical power supply systems are becoming more precious networks nowadays worldwide. Many challenging tasks are existed in PV based standalone systems due to random changes in solar irradiances, load and it is absent during nighttime. Innovative controllers are necessary to uphold power quality in these systems. A battery pack is required in this standalone system since solar irradiance is unpredictable and in order to provide continuous stable power to electrical loads during no irradiance. Therefore, a battery bank is connected to a standalone unit via a DC to DC bidirectional circuit. The maximum power point tracking converter, in conjunction with the perturbed and observe algorithm, is employed to optimize the operation of the PV system and enhance the overall efficiency of the system. Neuro-Fuzzy controller based novel controller is designed for both inverter as well as bidirectional circuit to supply quality power to both single and three phase loads. Comprehensive findings have been showcased and accessed via hardware-in-loop testing on the OPAL-RT platform to optimize the suggested controller for a 1MW standalone system in various scenarios.

Soul, quantum structure and brain: Biological-physical aspects and theology
Authors: Pavlović Dragan , Đurđević Darko
Published: March 2024

Religion teaches about the soul as the essence of human being, but modern neuroscience and physics are getting closer to this concept in their research. The soul is immortal by grace. From the Orthodox Christian point of view, the highest level of development of the human soul is the discovery and direction of the soul towards God. At the base of all physics lies the principle of action from which all the basic laws of physics are derived, and the utmost form of this principle would correspond to biological behavior. Living organisms would behave as a consequence of causally determined quantum processes. The PenroseHameroff model considers the "soul" as a quantum computer that exists in the material world while the human individual is alive, but after biological death continues life in the fine quantum structure of the created world. The process of decoherence, which occurs when a quantum object comes into contact with the environment, takes part in the suppression of quantum effects on the macroplane. The Penrose-Hameroff model assumes that tubulins are the quantum units in microtubule quantum computers. Derandomization (in the sense of order), as opposed to entropy (in the sense of disorder) is an essential prerequisite of life. Derandomization (orderliness) is enabled by enformy. The necessity of introducing a "third" basic principle into the theory of "everything" reflects the unsustainability of an exclusively materialistic approach. They could say that both science and religion talk about the same phenomena, known in different ways, with different terminology but the same essence.

Published: March 2024

Cellulose is a natural polymer and most abundant organic substance on Earth. Inexhaustible hydroxyl groups on the cellulose surface allow derivatives of cellulose produced. This article discusses the recent progress of cellulose and cellulose derivatives in membrane development for oil/water separation. Functional groups that are available on the cellulose and its derivatives provide modification features to improve membrane wettability. Membranes with super wetting properties possess remarkable self-cleaning abilities which in turn can enhance permeation fluxes and extend membrane lifespan. However, the role of cellulose-based membranes in oily wastewater treatments is still in its early stages. This review article emphasizes on the development and modification of cellulose-based membranes for improvement of wettability, flux and separation efficiency, and the future directions of research.

Authors: Kamanina Natalia
Published: March 2024

The classical and the nano-structured spatial light modulators (SLMs) especially based on the polyimide photosensitive layers, as the key element of the optoelectronic devices, display, and telecommunications schemes are considered. The main emphasis is placed on the device with a polyimide photo-layer due to its high sensitivity and acceptable performance. A modulator’s basic characteristics are studied taken into account the comparison with the different types of the photo-layers, such as: ZnSe, ZnS, a-Si:H. Liquid crystal (LC) media is considered as the modulation system. It is indicated that the different methods and approaches are applied for investigation of the basic SLM parameters, such as: Z-scanning technique, third harmonic generation, four-wave mixing set-up, etc. In the current paper the laser holographic technique is used to investigate the resolution, sensitivity, and speed of the LC-SLM devices. The influence of the fullerene doping on the organic photo-layers based on the polyimide materials is presented. This influence of this nano-structuration process on the modulator’s basic parameters is discussed.

El papel de la Universidad en el desarrollo de competencias digitales y la reducción del desajuste de habilidades desde una perspectiva del capital humano para el siglo XXI
Authors: Monferrato Marcelo
Published: March 2024

Este trabajo analiza el rol de la universidad y su necesaria evolución e intervención para abordar el desafío del desajuste de habilidades (skills mismatch), colaborando a la disminución de esta brecha en el mercado laboral del siglo XXI que se manifiesta tanto por sub como por sobre calificación profesional. A partir de una revisión de la literatura sobre la teoría del capital humano y las competencias digitales, se plantea cómo es que la Universidad desempeña un papel esencial en el desarrollo de habilidades digitales desde el marco de las teorías sobre capital humano y las competencias digitales, en un punto de inflexión que produce la salida de la pandemia y los aprendizajes y necesarias adaptaciones que nos ha dejado en términos de ponderación de la educación a distancia, sumado a la irrupción y presencia en continuo crecimiento de la inteligencia artificial en los procesos de enseñanza y de aprendizaje. En este contexto complejo y disruptivo, las instituciones de Educación Superior Universitaria surgen como espacios ideales en los cuales ofrecer programas de formación y capacitación centrados en las habilidades digitales y de esta manera abonar al desarrollo de capacidades relevantes para los entornos de trabajo actuales, colaborando con las empresas y organizaciones gubernamentales en la identificación de nuevas competencias necesarias en el mercado laboral y el diseño de programas de formación y capacitación que se ajusten a esas necesidades, fomentando el aprendizaje continuo y el desarrollo de habilidades a lo largo de toda la vida laboral de los trabajadores.

Una avifauna en cambio: 26 años de conteos navideños en la Sabana de Bogotá, Colombia
Authors: Stiles F. Gary , Rosselli Loreta , De La Zerda Sussy
Published: March 2024

El Conteo Navideño de aves en la Sabana de Bogotá se realiza anualmente desde 1989. Presentamos los resultados de los primeros 26 años (1989–2014) para detectar cambios en la presencia y las abundancias de las especies de aves e intentar relacionarlos con cambios en el clima, la vegetación, las interacciones entre especies y las actividades humanas. Los conteos corresponden a 29 localidades clasificadas en terrestres, mixtas o acuáticas según la composición de sus avifaunas. En cuatro sitios comparamos los patrones de recambio de especies entre años sucesivos. Calculamos para cada especie el número de años y número de sitios de registro, así como el promedio de individuos observados por año de registro. Analizamos los cambios de abundancia a lo largo de los 26 años de todas las especies registradas en seis o más años mediante regresiones lineales. Registramos 234 especies de aves: 126 residentes permanentes, 43 residentes estacionales (migratorias boreales invernantes) y 65 visitantes; las residentes fueron más abundantes y registradas por más años y sitios. Contamos más especies en los sitios terrestres con bosques nativos conservados; en los sitios acuáticos registramos más individuos debido a las especies gregarias. En los sitios con bosques conservados, las especies cambiaron poco en años sucesivos mientras las tasas de recambio fueron más altas en un parque urbano grande y un humedal. En este período, 49 especies aumentaron en abundancia, 30 disminuyeron y 74 no cambiaron; casi todos los cambios de abundancia ocurrieron entre las residentes. Seis especies se establecieron como residentes mientras cuatro aparentemente desaparecieron. En el intervalo estudiado, las influencias del cambio climático y las acciones directas o indirectas del hombre parecen haber afectado a más especies, especialmente por obras en los humedales y la urbanización; la contaminación aérea urbana aumentó el calentamiento, posiblemente facilitando el establecimiento de algunas especies de elevaciones menores. Información de los años 1960s indica que desde ese tiempo el drenaje de muchos humedales afectó más a la avifauna; el cambio climático tuvo una menor influencia. Hacia el futuro, seguramente se intensificará el calentamiento global, llevando a desaparecer algunas especies más de las montañas locales mientras más especies de zonas cálidas podrían establecerse en la parte plana. En conclusión, resulta relevante monitorear las aves a largo plazo usando los conteos navideños. Presentamos algunas recomendaciones para los que están considerando iniciar conteos, y sugerencias para análisis de los datos para los que ya están haciendo esfuerzos de monitoreo similares.

Neste artigo pretendemos discutir os novos desenvolvimentos da semiótica ora chamada discursiva, ora pós-greimasiana, ora sociossemiótica, ora landowskiana, para apresentá-los em um contexto específico. Como estas propostas atualizadas da semiótica podem ser visualizadas no estudo de quaisquer interações, no presente texto referimo-nos a uma situação na qual, coletivamente, desenvolveu-se uma ação com finalidades inclusivas. Como se trata de uma proposição para o estudo da construção dos sentidos em ato, partimos de um fato corriqueiro, a coleta de lacres de alumínio de latas de bebidas, com o objetivo de contribuir para uma proposta que visa a inclusão de pessoas com deficiência. A experiência permite afirmar que as condições de coleta apresentam modos de relacionamento com as coisas do mundo, conforme o modelo postulado por Landowski, sendo seus resultados exemplares para relacionar a outros modos de interação e de geração de sentidos e ainda nos possibilita refletir sobre a extensão de um ato banal, bem como das demais atitudes cotidianas da vida.
Imagens acessíveis: uma relação entre a audiodescrição e a gramática do design visual
Authors: Perdigão Luciana , Fernandes Edicléa
Published: March 2024

As produções acadêmicas e científicas estão cada vez mais multimodais com a popularização dos softwares de produção gráfica e edição de imagens. Entretanto, essas imagens precisam ser acessíveis para pessoas com alguma limitação na leitura desse tipo de recurso. E um dos recursos para acessibilizar essas imagens é a audiodescrição. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o arranjo multimodal de imagens constituintes de produções acadêmicas que foram direcionadas para serem acessibilizadas através da audiodescrição. O foco é verificar o modo como os elementos constituintes das imagens foram arranjados no espaço visual e como isso se reflete no roteiro de audiodescrição. Fundamentada nos pressupostos da Semiótica Social e Multimodalidade (Ribeiro, 2016, 2018; Gualberto e Pimenta, 2019) e da Tradução intersemiótica (Plaza, 2003), foram utilizados como instrumentos a função de composição da Gramática do Design Visual - GDV - de Kress e Van Leeuwen (2006); e os princípios da audiodescrição de Lima (2011). Foram selecionadas dez imagens classificadas em categorias com base nas normas ABNT para trabalhos acadêmicos. A avaliação teórico-empírica trouxe à tona questionamentos e possibilidades no trabalho de criação e produção dessas imagens. Ao conhecer o processo tradutório da audiodescrição é possível pensar melhor no arranjo multimodal dos elementos para composição de imagens mais acessíveis.

The important role of education is to improve the quality of human resources through effective, efficient and enjoyable learning, so that students are able to absorb information optimally. The media used in learning has not maximized technological developments so that a contextual, creative and collaborative learning experience has not been achieved. This research aims to produce Canva-based audio visual learning media. This type of research uses Research and Development (R&) with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) development model. The subject of this research is the development of audio visual learning media based on the Canva application for class VII A students, totaling 30 students in one class. The data collection technique used in this research was carried out using an expert questionnaire consisting of material experts, media experts, and a questionnaire sheet on student responses to the learning media being developed. The research results showed that the feasibility of Canva-based audio visual learning media was assessed by one media expert and a material expert. Based on the assessment, the results obtained from material experts were 95% and included in the very feasible category, while those from media experts were 74.30% and included in the feasible category. Overall, media can be used for the learning process.

Nicaragua alleges that Germany violates the Genocide Convention and international humanitarian law by assisting Israel and also by failing to prevent violations of these bodies of law. It requests the International Court of Justice to indicate provisional measures, which would oblige Germany inter alia to stop assisting Israel. While the Court may be barred from exercising its jurisdiction over Nicaragua’s claims relating to the Genocide Convention it may be able to hear the claims regarding Germany’s duties under IHL.

The issue of pupils' reluctance to report incidences of physical and sexual violence poses a significant difficulty in Tanzania, resulting in adverse consequences such as bodily harm, psychological distress, behavioural problems, and academic progress for the victims. Despite these challenges, primary school pupils are reluctant to report incidences of physical and sexual violence. This study, therefore, explores factors that hinder primary school pupils to report incidences of physical and sexual violence, a case of Moshi district, in Kilimanjaro region, Tanzania. This study employed a mixed approach whereby interviews and questionnaires were used as data collection tools. Random sampling technique was utilized to select 92 students from three primary schools as the study's sample unit, while a purposeful sampling technique was employed to select 12 key informants (6 teachers and 6 parents) from the total population. The findings have revealed that pupils failed to report physical and sexual incidences due to fear of perpetrators, lack of awareness on reporting channels and support services, and societal and cultural norms. The study suggests that efforts should be made to ensure the safety and protection of victims who decide to report violence, including providing legal support and confidentiality. In addition, schools and community at large should create a safe environment that will encourage students to feel comfortable reporting incidences of physical and sexual violence.

L'analyse des institutions, entre culturalisme et économisme : l'exemple des institutions de la propriété au Sénégal
Authors: GOMEZ Pierre-Yves , MENDY Melyan
Published: March 2024

This article looks at the question of the interrelatedness between economic growth and institutions based on a specific case: the property institutions in Senegal. In the first part, the article defines the different meanings of the notion of property in Senegal, from traditional family property to colonial and private property. The diverse nature of this notion makes it difficult to understand property as being "universal." In the second part, the article shows that the Senegal of today has not substituted these different property regimes but has accumulated them. Therefore, there are different ways to view property that interfere with each other. By focusing on the question of corporate property, the article leads to the paradoxical conclusion that economic inefficiency is not a consequence of poorly defined private property rights, but results from a contradiction between the so-called traditional corporate property and the way that firms are governed, which is no longer precisely traditional.

Les processus de changement organisational à l'épreuve des faits : une approche multiparadigmatique
Authors: VAS Alain
Published: March 2024

The processes of change remain a widely protean theme, the study of which has not resulted in the development of one distinctive theory. The objective of this research paper is to see if a dominant paradigmatic theory exists, to understand the processes of change, or if, on the contrary, people must adopt a multi-paradigmatic approach to improve the understanding of change within large organizations. This study points to a hybrid model of "planning-negotiation-improvisation," a mixed approach that is equally balanced between analytic and negotiated, structured and chaotic. During the process, the content of the change is reinvented by the actors and requires the support of a strong political coalition.
Les cheminements de carrière, quel(s) modèle(s) explicatif(s) pour quelles pratiques de gestion des ressources humaines ? Application au cas des ingénieurs tunisiens
Authors: BEN HASSINE Anissa
Published: March 2024

We demonstrate in this article that the career paths of Tunisian engineers can be read using a three-dimensional model. According to this model, Tunisian engineers are either leaders (go-getters or opportunists), experts (specialists or supporters of the status quo), or nomads (transients or "spirals"). Furthermore, we show how the recognition of this diversity or professional paths could assist Tunisian organizations to design and put in place a more adapted human resources management that would manage to keep engineers motivated, enthusiastic, high-performing, and qualified throughout their professional lives.
