Illiberalism and the Deinstitutionalization of Public Diplomacy: The Rise of Hungary and Viktor Orbán in American Conservative Media
Authors: Cabrera-Cuadrado Carla , Chrobak John
Published: April 2023

The promotion of Hungary and Viktor Orbán among American conservatives is often presented as a warning of conservative embrace of illiberal politics. While acknowledging the draw of Hungary’s illiberal policies as the motivating factor for American conservative interest in Hungary, our focus seeks to answer to what extent this embrace of Hungary can be considered a form of public diplomacy. We examined the frequency and substance of mentions of Hungary and Viktor Orbán in 1643 articles within 13 American conservative media outlets to track how the narrative around the country and the prime minister has evolved over the past four years, bearing in mind the impact of Tucker Carlson’s interview with Viktor Orbán in late 2021. We found both an increase in the quantity of articles focused on Hungary and Viktor Orbán as well as a largely positive trend defending and praising the policies of Hungary and the prime minister. We also observed a strong focus on Orbán as the primary actor of Hungarian public diplomacy and argue that this hyper-presidentialized focus exemplifies the deinstitutionalization of public diplomacy, along with other elements that contribute to the enhancement of Orbán as an individual public diplomacy actor.
Projection of diversity in Higher Education. A study of an institutional communication media in a Spanish university
Authors: Díaz-Jiménez Rosa-María , Iáñez-Domínguez Antonio , Rodríguez-Izquierdo Rosa-M.
Published: April 2023

The way in which diversity is conveyed through the media can reflect the attitude of the communicators themselves and contribute to shaping society’s attitudes towards diversity. The aim of the study was to identify how diversity is conveyed by the University to the Society. A content analysis of diversity-related news items in the University’s Institutional Newspaper Journal of the Pablo de Olavide University (DUPO) (626 news items out of 3,186 published between 2016 and 2019, a full rector’s term) was conducted. Heterogeneity in diversity was identified: gender, functional, cultural, sexual, religious and age, with gender and functional or disability diversity being predominant. Dissemination of diversity was linked to the fields of social sciences, humanities and sport. Communicators were government teams, with a slightly larger role for women. In conclusion, the institutional communication of diversity carried out from the most common official communication channel of the university analysed is the majority compared to the actions of professors and researchers, and a heterogeneous conception of diversity was found, linking it to issues of gender, inequalities and violence.
La reforma de la mirada en la Castilla observante del siglo XV: arte, «curiositas» y contemplación
Authors: Gómez-Chacón Diana-Lucía
Published: April 2023

La reforma de las órdenes religiosas, y el apoyo de esta por parte de los distintos grupos de poder y agentes políticos, originó a finales de la Edad Media y principios de la Edad Moderna nuevas formas de mirar, ver, entender e interactuar en el entorno monástico y conventual. En el presente trabajo se analizará la forma en la que las comunidades religiosas, y muy especialmente las femeninas sometidas a una estricta clausura, interactuaron con los distintos espacios y escenarios arquitectónicos, así como con los programas en ellos desarrollados, tratando de poner de manifiesto el importante papel desempeñado por el sentido de la vista, o de la privación de este, como instrumento devocional y contemplativo en el contexto castellano observante del siglo XV y principios del siglo XVI.

Investigation of the properties of translucent concrete
Authors: Siyanov A. I , Yaroshevich D. K
Published: April 2023

Translucent concrete is an alternative material for many building structures. Having a sufficiently high strength, it has minimal values of density, porosity and water resistance, which allows it to be used in the construction of light road surfaces. Modern technologies make it possible to improve the quality of the material and obtain inexpensive concrete with a high ability to transmit light. Promising developments are designed to improve the technical characteristics of concrete and minimize the cost of obtaining it. The aim of the work was to study concrete using affordable and relatively inexpensive plexiglass. Within the framework of the work, a method of light transmission at different angles is proposed and concrete trends are revealed depending on the content of transparent elements. The stages of obtaining samples with specified parameters are determined and the structure of their light tests is developed. The levels at which the main changes occur are shown. Based on the conducted research, the properties of concrete were identified and analyzed. The dependence between the volume distribution and the contribution of plexiglass components to the overall light effect is established. The characteristic parameters of light permeability, density and strength are determined. The practical benefit of the study lies in the fact that it takes into account the need to change the angles of light transmission in accordance with the requirements of architecture and determines the influence of plexiglass on the properties of samples. Thanks to the inclusion of a cheap transparent polymer in the composition of concrete, performance indicators were significantly increased and a material with a lower volume mass was obtained. Such concrete, subject to the correct manufacturing technology, has the prospect of mass use in construction.
STUDY OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OBTAINING DECORATIVE CONCRETE USING IRON OXIDE SLAG

Published: April 2023

The problem of the beneficial use of large-tonnage industrial waste is acute all over the world. The metallurgical industry is no exception. One of the actual areas of application of such slags is the construction industry. Often, slags have many impurities that adversely affect the quality of the materials from which they can be made. However, in a small amount they can be used as pigment dyes, which make it possible to obtain materials of an unusual color. Decorative concretes differ from ordinary "gray" concretes in that they give architectural expressiveness to products, primarily for finishing works (walls, floors). The selection of the composition of such concrete requires a thorough study of both the raw materials themselves, including slags, and the selected compositions based on them. The article presents studies of finely ground slag from gas cleaning of metallurgical production, including physical and chemical methods. The analysis of the influence of the multicomponent composition of metallurgical slag on the structure and properties of the future composition of concrete is given. It was revealed that almost all components of the slag do not have a positive effect on the hydraulic or pozzolanic activity of the binder during the formation of the structure of the cement stone. More than half of the constituent minerals of the slag contains iron-containing compounds, giving the slag a rich brown color. The slag has a slight plasticizing effect. The slag particles contribute to the release of water retained by the cement particles, and, hence, to an increase in the total specific surface area of the cement particles. This structure hydrates the cement gel faster, resulting in faster hydration and strength development. Therefore, it is advisable to use the studied slag as a finely ground pigment additive in the selection of binder and concrete compositions. The finely ground structure of the slag makes it possible to improve the capillary-porous structure of concrete, reduce the consumption of cement by 5-15 %, while obtaining concrete in terms of compressive strength of a class of at least B30. The compositions of the decorative binder were selected using slag and fine-grained decorative concrete based on it for decorative flooring. The best concrete composition has strength class B40 for rooms with high impact intensity.

Published: April 2023

Abstract Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) causes bacterial leaf blight that is a major threat to rice production. Crop losses in extreme situations can reach up to75%, and millions of hectares of rice are affected each year. Management of the disease required information about the spatial distribution of BLB incidence, severity, and prevalence. In this study, major rice-growing areas of Pakistan were surveyed during 2018-2019 for disease occurrence, and thematic maps were developed using geographic information system (GIS). Results showed that Narowal district had highest percentage of disease incidence (54-69%), severity (42-44%), and prevalence (72-90%) meanwhile Jhung district had the lowest incidence (21-23%), severity (18-22%), and prevalence (45-54%). To understand the environmental factors contributing to this major rice disease, the research analyze, the spatial relationships between BLB prevalence and environmental variables. Those variables include relative humidity (RH), atmospheric pressure (A.P), minimum temperature, soil organic carbon, soil pH, and elevation, which were evaluated by using GIS-based Ordinary Least Square (OLS) spatial model. The fitted model had a coefficient of determination (R2) of 65 percent explanatory power of disease development. All environmental variables showed a general trend of positive correlation between BLB prevalence and environmental variables. The results show the potential for disease management and prediction using environmental variable and assessment.
The Importance of Single Source Publishing in Scientific Publishing
Authors: Fauchié Antoine , Audin Yann
Published: April 2023

Academic publishing currently raises several issues, such as the production of multiple artifacts from a single source. The expression "single source publishing" refers to generating several formats from a single source. A single document can be used to produce various formats, without having to switch from one process to another, whether it is a PDF format for printing, an XML export for a digital platform, or a digital version in HTML format. This editorial challenge brings up both theoretical and technical questions, such as the legitimization of content, the evolution of publishing practices, and the creation of adequate tools. At the intersection of media studies, publishing studies, and literature, the concepts of hybridity (McLuhan, 1968), hybridization (Ludovico, 2012), or editorialization (Vitali-Rosati, 2016) allow us to question the principles of this editorial design.Actuellement, les publications académiques soulèvent plusieurs questions, telles que la production d'artefacts multiples à partir d'une source unique. L'expression "publication à source unique" fait référence à la production de plusieurs formats à partir d'une seule source. Un même document peut être utilisé pour produire différents formats, sans devoir passer d'un processus à l'autre, qu'il s'agisse d'un format PDF pour l'impression, d'un export XML pour une plateforme numérique, ou d'une version numérique au format HTML. Ce défi éditorial soulève des questions à la fois théoriques et techniques, telles que la légitimation des contenus, l'évolution des pratiques éditoriales et la création d'outils adéquats. Au croisement des études médiatiques, des études éditoriales et de la littérature, les concepts d'hybridité (McLuhan, 1968), d'hybridation (Ludovico, 2012) ou d'éditorialisation (Vitali-Rosati, 2016) permettent d'interroger les principes de cette conception éditoriale.
1918-2018 - Réflexions sur les évolutions de la pratique de la psychiatrie militaire en opération
Authors: GIGNOUX-FROMENT F. , MORIS M. , TERRIER D. , PAUL F.
Published: April 2023

Ce travail vise à éclairer les grandes évolutions de la psychiatrie opérationnelle de 1918 à 2018. Après avoir décrit les principales évolutions sociologiques du profil tant des conflits armés que des combattants, nous préciserons les contours de la clinique psychiatrique observée sur les théâtres de guerre au cours de ce siècle. En outre, la pratique du psychiatre en opération s’est adaptée au contexte d’engagement des forces armées, depuis l’héritage historique des principes de Salmon du premier conflit mondial jusqu’à ce qui en fait aujourd’hui le prolongement et une déclinaison moderne. Ces changements dans l’exercice du soutien psychologique sur le terrain des opérations extérieures sont à mettre en perspective avec la réflexion éthique qui a pu en soutenir le bien-fondé, laquelle offre les conditions d’un ajustement du psychiatre au plus près des enjeux des situations cliniques rencontrées, pour être à même d’en accueillir, à chaque fois, la singularité.
"L’Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing" (EMDR) dans la prise en charge du traumatisme psychique en milieu militaire

Published: April 2023

L’Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) est une psychothérapie aujourd’hui reconnue efficace dans le traitement du trouble de stress post-traumatique. Le service de psychiatrie de l’hôpital d’instruction des armées Sainte-Anne a récemment rendu disponible cette technique pour les militaires blessés psychiques, offrant au clinicien un outil thérapeutique complémentaire dans la prise en charge de ces patients. Si ce traitement psychothérapique se fait classiquement en ambulatoire, la réalisation de séances d’EMDR au cours d’hospitalisations programmées offre un cadre de soins propice à des patients militaires à la clinique psychotraumatique souvent complexe. En permettant la tenue de séances rapprochées, l’hospitalisation semble conférer à cette modalité de soins une efficacité symptomatique accrue, tout en assurant la bonne tolérance du traitement.

Le Service de santé des armées a mis en place et coordonné ces dernières années de nombreux plans visant à faciliter le dépistage, la prise en charge et l’accompagnement au long cours des patients présentant un trouble psychique post-traumatique. Parallèlement, une information a été réalisée à destination du commandement, comme du grand public afin de favoriser le recours aux soins des « blessés psychiques ». Ces mesures ont contribué à orienter ces derniers dans un parcours de reconnaissance, de réparation et de réhabilitation médico-psycho-sociale. Dans ce travail, après un bref rappel historique, nous proposons de définir ces termes en soulignant certains enjeux psychiques auxquels ils renvoient. Les questions liées à la place du sujet dans les soins, aux interactions entre les différents interlocuteurs et à la problématique du soupçon seront pour nous l’occasion d’interroger notre pratique.

Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study is twofold: first, to gain insight into the direct effect of accreditation on motivation and higher education performance, and the direct effect of motivation on higher education performance. Second, to examine the indirect effect of accreditation on higher education performance through motivation in the university setting. The study uses a quantitative research approach and collects data from administrative managers at 105 Pakistani universities through face-to-face and online survey methods, and the said data is subsequently analyzed using PLS-SEM. The findings reveal that accreditation has a substantial effect on motivation and higher education performance, and motivation has a considerable effect on higher education performance. Also, accreditation has an indirect effect on higher education performance through motivation. The study contributes empirically by examining the effects of accreditation on motivation and higher education performance and broadens theoretical understanding by introducing motivation as a mediator related to accreditation and higher education performance. Policymakers, administrators, and quality managers can leverage the findings of this study by motivating their academic staff to effectively implement accreditation standards. Furthermore, operationalizing higher education performance through teaching, research, and service will assist policymakers in bringing excellence to their universities by emphasizing these three roles/missions equally.

Hydatid cyst is caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus commonly found in temperate regions. Primary peritoneal hydatidosis is a rare entity. Diagnosis can be made with ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis and serology. Eosinophilia is a strong indicator of hydatid cysts as a differential diagnosis. Open excision of the cyst combined with medical treatment remains the treatment of choice.
Percutaneous Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) closure: When and how to close Coil VS Occluder “step by step” cases report
Authors: Nassime Zaoui , Amina Boukabous , Nabil Irid , Katia Babou , Sabrina Benamara
Published: April 2023

Background: The PDA defines the pathological persistence after the birth of a fetal physiological communication between the aorta and the pulmonary artery frequently encountered in preterm infants and whose clinical and hemodynamic consequences depend on the importance of the shunt directly bound to the diameter of the canal. Percutaneous closure is the most frequent management modality with excellent immediate and long-term results (two modes of closure: using coil or Occluder). The surgery remains reserved for complex anatomies or associated with other surgical congenital anomalies. Case presentation: We detail in this document the two methods of percutaneous closure step by step illustrated by pediatric cases. The first case concerns a 7 years old girl of 17 kg weight with a history of heart murmur that presented in the TTE a PDA estimated at 1mm with LV dilation. The second case concerns a 12 years old girl of 30 kg weight with also a history of heart murmur that presented on TTE a PDA of 4.5mm with LV dilation. Therapeutic intervention: In the first case, we perform a closure with coil 5/5 by a unique femoral arterial approach as a standardized attitude in our center avoiding additional venous access. For the second case, we opted for closure with prosthesis N° 6/8 by a double femoral approach (arterial and venous access). Outcomes: The follow-up was favorable for both patients, with total sealing of the defect immediately after the procedures that persist during the 6 months of control. Conclusion: The closure of PDA in children is a challenging procedure whose safety requires a good pre-and per-procedural evaluation allowing the right choice of the method and size of the closing device. The respect of the different closure stages and the critical per procedural ultrasound and angiographic control reduce the rate of complications making this technique accessible and safe. In our series of 108 PDA closures by Coil in children, the unique femoral arterial approach is the standardized attitude in the first line in all patients avoiding additional venous access, which allows the Coil release in the basic technique while the arterial access allows opacification and measurement of the channel. The unique arterial approach has reduced the risk of local complications at the puncture site and the duration of the procedure without difference in closure efficiency and embolization risk. In our series of 92 PDA closures by Occluder in children the double femoral approach is the standardized attitude for all patients, the venous access allows the device release while the arterial access allows opacification/ measurement of the channel and control device deployment.

La independencia de toga. El Colegio de Abogados de Badajoz frente a la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera
Authors: Marabel Matos Jacinto J.
Published: April 2023

El Trienio Regenerador (1923-1925) que caracterizó la primera etapa de la Dictadura del general Miguel Primo de Rivera, dio paso a un autoritarismo de corte corporativista que, tomando como ejemplo el sistema de la Italia fascista de Mussolini, buscó la militarización de los estamentos sociales. Uno de los principales artífices de esta política de sometimiento fue el Ministro de Gracia y Justicia Galo Ponte Escartín, empeñado en una batalla legal para doblegar a la Administración de Justicia y al Poder Judicial. En 1928 presentó un Proyecto de Ley en el que se equiparaba a los profesionales de la abogacía con los funcionarios públicos, pero el Colegio de Abogados de Badajoz lideró la defensa del Principio de Independencia y la Libertad de Toga, sumó al resto de corporaciones y se convirtió en uno de los instrumentos destinados a socavar los fundamentos del Régimen.
Contratos de suministro de contenidos y servicios digitales: La protección del consumidor en Portugal
Authors: De Oliveira Xavier Marinêz
Published: April 2023

La protección jurídica de los consumidores es una cuestión compleja y a menudo un obstáculo para la celebración de contratos de consumo en el mercado único y, más concretamente, cuando se refiere al mercado único digital. Según datos de la Comisión Europea, debido a la falta de confianza jurídica, sólo el 10% de las transacciones involucrarían a operadores europeos con consumidores de otros Estados miembros, y uno de cada tres consumidores tendrían problemas con la compra de contenidos digitales como música, juegos o elementos en la nube, sin encontrar respuestas adecuadas a estos problemas. Este artículo pretende analizar específicamente el objetivo, la importancia y el ámbito de aplicación del Decreto-Ley nº 84/2021, de 18 de octubre, sobre la compraventa y el suministro de contenidos y servicios digitales en Portugal. El referido régimen jurídico aplicable a la protección del consumidor consagra importantes soluciones que refuerzan principalmente el principio del derecho a la calidad de los bienes y servicios adquiridos por el consumidor.

Reliability Estimation of Burr Type III Distribution under Improved Adaptive Progressive Censoring with Application to Surface Coating
Authors: Asadi Saeid , Panahi Hanieh , Anwar Sadia , Lone Showkat Ahmad
Published: April 2023

The stress-strength reliability (SSRe) model is widely investigated in
reliability engineering to determine the probability of the strength
component overcomes the stress imposed on it. In this paper, we
studied the estimation of SSRe model based on the Burr III distribution
under the improved adaptive progressive type-II censoring scheme
(IAPrgCS-II). Estimation methods of the SSRe parameters are
developed using frequentist and Bayesian approaches. The point and
interval estimations using the maximum likelihood are considered to
estimate the parameters. Two approximations are applied to compute
the Bayes estimates. A simulation study is conducted for the
comparison of the methods of estimation. Also, parallel to the
development of reliability studies, it is necessary to study its
application in different sciences such as engineering. Therefore, the
droplet splashing (DrS) data under two wettabilities are proposed as an
application of the considered SSRe model and methods. The results
show us that the reliability model can be used to amend the quality of
coatings.

The amount of electronic waste (e-waste) generated globally has been increasing steadily, including in Malaysia. Utilizing the e-waste as alternative recycled materials can help to conserve natural resources as well as reduce the demand for natural resources. Furthermore, recycled materials can be used in countries with limited aggregate resources. The present study aims to compare the physical properties CRT glass e-waste used as partial replacement for natural aggregates in road pavements. The study method for laboratory work were carried out in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications. Three physical tests were carried out to determine the strength of the sample, i.e. Los Angeles abrasion test, specific gravity test and water absorption test. Result shows that CRT glass has a high value of 59.50% for the Los Angeles abrasion test, which exceed the specified requirement of 50%. The value for water absorption test shows that the CRT glass sample was able to achieve the specified requirement. The result for specific gravity test shows that the natural aggregates have a value higher than that of the CRT glass sample. Aggregates with higher specific gravity are generally stronger than those with lower specific gravity. Studies have to be carried out to identify the feasibility of using CRT e-waste glass as an alternative recycled material in the construction of road pavements.

We present Chandra observation of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 1559 to study the X-ray sources population in the galaxy. Based on our analysis, we detect twenty-four X-ray sources in the galaxy, of which six have 0.5–8 keV luminosities exceeding 1039 erg s-1, suggesting that they are possibly ultra-luminous X-ray source (ULX) candidates. The remaining eighteen sources have 0.5–8 keV luminosities below this threshold value, suggesting that they are likely to be X-ray binary candidates. We perform X-ray spectral analysis for the six ULX candidates and found that in general, their properties are broadly consistent with that found for other ULXs. The number of X-ray sources found in this galaxy is relatively high as compared to other galaxies with similar star formation rate of ~2.8 M- yr-1. This however could be attributed to the relatively high number of supernova occurrence (four) in the galaxy observed in the past years. We did not detect any X-ray nuclear point source in the galaxy, suggesting that NGC 1559 does not host an active galactic nucleus. This is supported by its HII optical spectral classification and our infrared analysis using WISE.

Radio-frequency (RF) Magnetron Sputtering was used to deposit thin tungsten di sulfide (WS2) films on top of soda lime glass substrates. Deposition temperature of RF magnetron sputtering was varied from room temperature (RT) to 200oC with 50oC interval to investigate the impact on film characteristics as well as to optimize for suitable application in thin film solar cells. Structural and opto-electronic properties of as-grown films were investigated and analyzed for different growth temperatures. All the WS2 films exhibit granular structure consist of rhombohedral phase with a strong preferential orientation towards (101) crystal plane. Optical bandgaps are ranged from 1.73 eV to 2.3 eV for different growth temperatures. As-grown films show higher carrier concentration with n-type conductivity. Polycrystalline ultra-thin WS2 film with bandgap of 2.4 eV, carrier concentration of 2.28 X 1017 cm-3 and resistivity of 1.52 Ω-cm were successfully achieved at 50oC with 50 W RF power that can be employed as window layers in thin film solar cells.

Road crashes are serious concerns globally as they claim and cause more than 1.35 million fatalities and up to 50 million resulted injuries each year, respectively. Previous studies showed that the causes of road crashes are multifactorial, with human error contributed to approximately more than two-thirds of all road crashes, particularly in developing countries. One of the primary causes of vehicle crashes is failure to use turn signals by motorists. Although several studies have explored the use of turn signal among motorists in developed countries, limited studies have examined such risky behavior in developing countries, especially Malaysia. This paper aims to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of turn signal use among motorcyclists especially when changing lanes and turning at intersections, in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Video data of motorcycles in road traffic were recorded via instrumented research vehicle which made routine trips along selected driving routes in Klang Valley. The driving routes encompassed expressway, mixed with urban and interurban roads, as well as rural roads. The results reveal a significantly low overall percentage usage rate of turn signal among the observed motorcyclists at 41.1%. Furthermore, 60.9% of motorcyclists failed to signal when changing lanes, and 56.5% disregarded them while turning at intersections. The findings provide vital information to the authority to develop proper policy and propose measures to increase compliance of turn signal use among motorcycle motorcyclists such as more targeted enforcement, widespread road safety campaigns and mandated utilization of technology-based solutions.

For the past years, motorcycle fatalities have risen in Klang Valley with the overall constitution had passed 60% of total road traffic accident (RTA). Many motorcycle fatalities occurred within intersections after a driver failed to see a motorcyclist. However, little is known about the behavior of motorcyclists when they negotiate an intersection. This study was undertaken to analyze the behavior of motorcyclist in queues at signalized 3-leg and 4-leg intersections along state road of Klang Valley. An observational data was gathered based on microscopic data collected from video images that were taken from a research vehicle instrumented with on-board video camera. The research vehicle made routine trip through out Klang Valley for 10 weeks during peak and off-peak hour period. Twenty-seven (27) intersections with traffic light captured by the research vehicle were selected and observed. The preliminary findings shown three-ways of motorcycle approached the signalized intersection (SI), i.e. (1) approaching the SI with Weaving/Lane Splitting, (2) approaching the SI from center of the lane, and (3) approaching the SI from the left side/the shoulder. 87% of the motorcycle tend to maneuver in a queue during a red-light period, to avoid obstruction and tend to move forward for a wide and clear field of vision closest to the stop line. It is recommended that an exclusive motorcycle stopping space is provided for motorcyclist to enhance motorcycling safety and road safety in the country.

The partial least squares path modeling or PLS-PM, is best known as the partial least squares structural equation modeling or PLS-SEM. It is a method of structural equation modeling. This method allow the estimation of complex cause and effect relationship models with latent variables. This paper explain how this method can be use in the final stage of a product design and development study. In the study, learning outcome becomes the center for universal design, development and implementation processes. There are two stages of major processes. First is the instructional design processes while the second is the development processes. The development processes ends with usability test. The next phase is the evaluation phase. Last phase is the modeling processes. The paper will first explain about the localized model of product design and development procedure. Subsequently it will elaborate the final phase of the second stage processes, which is important in impact study of product design and development. While at this, the partial least square structural equation modeling will be explain. It is a powerful statistical technique yet misconceptions happen a lot. Proper techniques is essential for methodological assumptions in order to attain robust results. Using latest software alone is not enough.
