Authors: Mulyono Adi , Dzahabiyyah Mufliha , Putri Ika Apriliana , Anggraeni Wulan
Published: May 2024

Sumatera Barat merupakan wilayah rawan gempa karena terletak pada lempeng tektonik India-Australia  dengan lempeng Eurasia, Mentawai Fault System (MFS) dan Sumatera Fault System (SFS) atau sesar Sumatera.  Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya kajian seismik untuk menggambarkan karakteristik kegempaan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah memperoleh karakteristik gempa Sumatera Barat melalui Space-Time-Depth-Magnitude. Alur penelitian terdiri atas 7 tahap yaitu, penambangan data, preprocessing data, perhitungan nilai b pada persamaan Gutenberg Ritcher, fraktal, jarak haversine, STDM, interpretasi hasil. Data yang dipergunakan adalah data kejadian gempa periode 2009 hingga 2023 bersumber dari Badan Meterologi, Geofisika, dan Klimatologi (BMKG) dengan membaginya menjadi 3 periode yaitu periode 1 pada 30 September 2009 hingga 24 Oktober 2010, periode 2 pada 25 Oktober 2010 hingga 10 April 2012, periode 3 pada 11 April 2012 hingga 24 April 2023. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah penurunan jarak STDM pada suatu periode mengisyaratkan gempa merusak yang akan terjadi memiliki kekuatan lebih kecil dari gempa sebelumnya, sedangkan peningkatan STDM mengisyaratkan gempa merusak yang akan terjadi memiliki kekuatan lebih besar dari gempa merusak sebelumnya. Hasil penelitian diharapkan dapat berkontribusi dalam menggambarkan keadaan seismik Sumatera Barat sehingga dapat mengantisipasi terjadinya korban jiwa.
Sensitivity Analysis and Optimal Control of Cocoa Black Pod Disease Caused by Phytophora Margakarya
Authors: Adebayo Adeniran  , Adeniyi Onanaye  , Olawale Adeleke  , Mathew Odekunle
Published: May 2024

To address the critical threat black pod disease poses to global cocoa production and farmer income, this study developed a novel mathematical model that utilizes a system of ordinary differential equations to capture the interactions between various stages of cocoa pods (susceptible cherelles, young/mature pods, ripe pods) and their disease state (exposed, infected). Additionally, the model incorporates the dynamics of the disease-causing pathogen population. Employing Pontryagin's Maximum Principle, the model optimizes control strategies that minimize disease impact. This optimization identifies the efficient allocation of resources, timing of interventions, and deployment of control measures like infected pod removal, fungicides, and sanitation practices. The finding of the study reveals that control measure u3 which is rouging (pod removal) and any one of the remaining control measures is best for the treatment of cocoa black pod disease caused by Phytophora Megarkaya. These findings translate into valuable, data-driven recommendations for cocoa farmers and disease management professionals. By strategically combining infected pod removal, targeted fungicide use, and environmental management practices, farmers can significantly reduce disease severity, enhance cocoa production, and promote a more sustainable cocoa industry.

دراسة الاحتياجات المائية المنزلية الحالية والمستقبلية والإمكانيات المتاحة بمنطقة المرج
Authors: محمد عبدالرحمن مهيوس بوقربه فتحي
Published: May 2024

تعد منطقة المرج من المناطق التي تشهد تميزا في محتواها المائي سواء في صورة أمطار أوعلي هيئة مجاري مائية تفيض بالمياه في فترات المطر الغزيرة ولذا تعد مخزنا للمياه تعتمد علية أكثر الأنشطة البشرية بالمنطقة .
    هذا وتشير الإحصاءات إلي أن كمية المياه المتوفرة حاليا تقدر بنحو( 17000 م3 ) يوميا , والمتوقعة مستقبلا حوالي ( 8000 م3 ) يوميا , بينما تقدر الاحتياجات الحالية بحوالي ( 40.000 م3 ) يوميا ، والمتوقع مستقبلا حتى عام 2025 م حوالي ( 73000 م3 ) يوميا  وهذا يدل علي وجود فجوة عوز مائي بين المتاح من المياه حاليا وما وما تحتاجة المنطقة من المياه المنزلية في عام 2025م
    وقد ركزت مشكلة البحث علي دراسة وتحليل الأسباب الطبيعية والبشرية المتعلقة بهذه المشكلة . يهدف البحث عن تفسير وتحليل هذه الفجوة بغرض الوصول إلي الأمن المائي للمنطقة بما يحقق رفاهية واستقرار المواطنين .
ولقد أستنتج من البحث أن أسباب العجز المائي نوعان أسبابا طبيعية وأخري بشرية . من أهم الأسباب البشرية الاستهلاك المفرط للمياه في الزراعة بسبب تحول الزراعات البعلية إلي زراعات مروية و الزيادة المضطردة في تعداد السكان، أما الأسباب الطبيعية فتعود إلي تذبذب سقوط الأمطار ومحدودية فترة الجريان السطحي
    واستنادا إلي نتائج البحث يوصي بضرورة خفض معدلات الإنتاج المائي بالمنطقة خاصة بالمنطقة الساحلية منها والبحث عن مصادر بديلة مثل التحلية وإعادة استخدام المياه وبحث إمكانية توفيرها .

تعتبر هذه الدراسة نوع من المغامرة البحثية؛ لندرة المراجع والدراسات المرتبطة بهذا الشأن, مما اعتمد الباحث في بعض الأحيان على مجرد استطلاعات ولقاءات أجرتها بعض الصحف ومواقع التواصل الاجتماعي للإطلاع على مشاكل الليبيات المتزوجات من الأجانب, فهي من المحاولات البحثية النادرة في علم الاجتماع العائلي والسياسي؛ إذ لم تكن الأولى في دراسة معرفة مشاكل زواج المواطنات من أجانب, وإن كان الزواج شرعه الله تعالى لما فيه من خير للإنسان, قال تعالى: "واَلله جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجاً وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً".([1]) ولم يفرق ديننا الإسلامي بين المسلمين, فالقيود وضعت على من ينتمي للأديان الأخرى إذا أراد الزواج أو أرادت الزواج من بين المسلمين, ولكن بعد وجود الدول والحدود أصبح ما يسمى بالمواطنة, وأصبح لكل بلاد دستورها وقوانينها التي تسري على كل مواطنيها, بيد أن الإنسان عاطفي بطبعه, وهو يقرر مصلحته من خلال ما يمليه عليه عقله وقلبه, والذي قد يخترق الحدود التي صنعها البشر, وكَّن من خلالها دولاً, وساعد ذلك عدد من الظروف والعوامل التي تشجع على الاحتكاك بين الشعوب, ومن هنا قد تكون ظروف الدولة التي تنتمي إليها المرأة جاذبة من الناحية الاقتصادية, أو المرأة تقدمت بها السن وأصبحت فرصتها للحصول على زوج من جنسيتها فيها نوع من الصعوبة, مما يجعلها تقبل بمن يتقدم لها من البلدان المجاورة, أو يغلبها الجانب العاطفي فتقع في علاقة زواج مع من تحب, فترتبط مع أحد الأجانب والذي غالبا ما يكون من الأخوة العرب الغير الليبيين.   [1] - سورة النحل الآية:72.

Automatic object detection for behavioural research using YOLOv8
Authors: Hermens Frouke
Published: May 2024

Observational studies of human behaviour often require the annotation of objects in video recordings. Automatic object detection has been facilitated strongly by the development of YOLO (‘you only look once’) and particularly by YOLOv8 from Ultralytics, which is easy to use. The present study examines the conditions required for accurate object detection with YOLOv8. The results show almost perfect object detection even when the model was trained on a small dataset (100 to 350 images). The detector, however, does not extrapolate well to the same object in other backgrounds. By training the detector on images from a variety of backgrounds, excellent object detection can be restored. YOLOv8 could be a game changer for behavioural research that requires object annotation in video recordings.
Ästhetik mathematisch potenziell begabter sechs- bis achtjähriger Kinder. Theoretische Grundlegung und empirische Untersuchungen zur Relevanz und Förderung ästhetischer Bildung im mathematischen Anfangsunterricht
Authors: Kaiser Julia
Published: May 2024

Die subjektiv geprägte Ästhetik beeinflusst (un-)bewusst das mathematische Denken und Tätigsein von einer Idee bis zur Darstellung, die Motivation und die Identifikation eines Kindes mit dem jeweiligen mathematischen Sachverhalt. Aufgrund eines nicht vorhandenen Konsenses über den Begriff ‚Ästhetik‘ sowie fehlender Untersuchungen zur Bedeutung von Ästhetik für mathematische Potenzialentwicklungen bot sich eine umfassende Studie des Gesamtkonstrukts an. Die Hauptintention der Dissertation besteht in einem wissenschaftlich begründeten Kennzeichnen des Konstrukts ‚Ästhetik‘ bei mathematisch potenziell begabten sechs- bis achtjährigen Kindern, da diese eine besondere mathematische Sensibilität aufweisen, sich für die Welt der Mathematik (z. B. Zahlen und Formen) begeistern, ein besonderes Gefühl für mathematische Sachverhalte und einen individuell ausgeprägten Sinn für Ästhetik haben. Darüber hinaus erfolgt ein Beitrag zur Entwicklung eines tragfähigen Konzepts zur Förderung ästhetischer Bildung im mathematischen Anfangsunterricht der Grundschule, da ästhetische Bildungsprozesse für eine Förderung des mathematischen Potenzials von Kindern wesentlich sind. Aufgrund der Unschärfe und Komplexität eignete sich für die forschungsmethodische Anlage ein exploratives, gegenstandserkundendes und hypothesengenerierendes Forschungsdesign. In diesem Sinne wurde die revidierte klinische Methode sowie der Forschungsstil der Grounded Theory Methodology verwendet. Im Ergebnis der theoretisch-analytischen und empirischen Untersuchungen konnten wesentliche Aspekte zur Kennzeichnung der besonderen subjektiven Ästhetik im Kontext mathematischer Begabungen sowie Empfehlungen für eine ästhetische Bildung in einem begabungsfördernden mathematischen Anfangsunterricht herausgestellt werden. Aus den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen wurden praxeologische Konsequenzen zum Erfassen und Fördern kindlicher Ästhetik im Kontext mathematischer Begabungsförderung abgeleitet.
Comparative analysis of advocacy strategies in justifications for gender-neutral English
Authors: Winig Max , Rose Ell
Published: May 2024

This comparative analysis of arguments for singular they and neopronoun adoption focuses on two justifications: historical presence of gender-neutral language in English and individuals’ freedom to choose affirming terms for themselves. We found significant relationships between support for singular they and historical references, as well as neopronoun support and agency references, indicating a meaningful distinction in the ways language users justify different preferences. The frequency of specific arguments illuminates how people conceptualize language, which arguments are perceived as effective, and who must be convinced, and these findings can inform our understanding of folk perspectives on where and how prestige is granted to linguistic features.
Derive the biased reading of A-not-A questions in Mandarin
Authors: Wang Yaxuan
Published: May 2024

Among many forms of A-not-A questions in Mandarin Chinese, the shi-not-shi question is found to be unique in that it obligatorily gives rise to a biased reading toward its prejacent, so-called positive bias. The previous pragmatic approach by Ye (2020) establishes a link between focus in polar questions and question bias to explain this biased reading. However, the current study finds that two other A-not-A questions formed by epistemic modals, hui-not-hui and keneng-not-keneng which are not focus markers, obligatorily produce positively biased readings as well. I propose that biased A-not-A questions are a type of high-negation questions with A-not-A residing outside of TP. shi, hui and keneng should all be analyzed as epistemic modals which are the overt realization of Goodhue’s (2019) epistemic operator scoped by the negator. The positively biased reading is derived from the resulting unbalanced partition based on general pragmatic principles. This analysis from the semantic aspect provides new evidence for the argument that the first A has reality only in PF. Furthermore, the Mandarin Chinese data lends evidence to Goodhue’s (2019) argument that there exists a doxastic speech operator between NegP and TP in high negation questions. The paper also provides explanations for previously remaining questions on bias cancelation by the stress marker daodi and factive predicates like zhidao (“know”).
Current norms and best practices for collecting and representing sex/gender in linguistics: Towards ethical and inclusive methodologies
Authors: Bedin Cooper , Benesch Montreal , Zhukova Marina , Zimman Lal
Published: May 2024

Amid changing ideas about sex and gender, there is a growing need to reexamine norms around their operationalization and theorization. This talk presents results from a survey exploring linguists’ practices for collecting information about research participants’ sex/gender. Based on 157 complete responses to date, we explore the popularity of different methods for gathering information about sex/gender and the methodological and theoretical implications of those choices. We closely analyze the way questions around sex/gender are formulated and differences among linguists by subfield, training, identities, and gender politics, and offer best practices for ethical and inclusive approaches.
Non-discourse-configurationality in Imbabura Kichwa
Authors: Taguchi Chihiro , Saransig Jefferson
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the syntactic structure of Imbabura Kichwa, a Quechuan language spoken in the Imbabura Province of Ecuador, with a focus on the seemingly free word order in grammatical functions and discourse-semantic functions (i.e., topic and focus). We first provide the data and overviews of the non-configurationality and non-discourse-configurationality of Imbabura Kichwa. Then, we demonstrate that the underlying syntactic structure of Imbabura Kichwa is built up hierarchically based on the agreement of focus enclitics with clause types and polarity. Finally, we argue that the non-configurationality and non-discourse-configurationality are the surface realization of the movement from the underlying structure to the daughter positions of a non-projective category S.
The subject of a stative object experiencer verb is an intensional Cause
Authors: Kim Youngjin
Published: May 2024

In the domain of experiencer verbs, little attention has been paid to the potential intensionality of object experiencer (OE) verbs (but see Cheung & Larson 2015). Relying on diagnostics identified in the literature (Dowty 1979; Schwarz 2020), I argue that the intentionality of OE verbs is correlated with their aspectual properties: they are intensional in their subject when stative but not when eventive. I then consider whether this finding can help us choose between competing theories of the argument structure of OE verbs (Arad 2000; Landau 2010). I will argue that the answer is negative.
Ambiguity of the Japanese negative comparative expression kurabe mono-ni nara-nai ‘cannot be compared’
Authors: Sawada Osamu
Published: May 2024

The Japanese comparative expression kurabe mono-ni nara-nai ‘cannot be compared’ has some characteristics that ordinary comparatives lack. First, its meaning is ambiguous in terms of whether the subject x is much higher than the object y or whether x is much lower than y in terms of scale. Second, it always appears with negation. I will argue that these two kinds of interpretation can be derived from the interaction with negation and the notion of category, and that the polarity sensitivity of the expression is due to its interaction with the maxim of quantity (Grice 1975). I will also compare the Japanese data to some related expressions in Chinese, English, and Japanese and discuss their similarities and differences. This paper shows that there is a new type of comparative, context-dependent comparison in natural language whose relative relationship is not linguistically encoded explicitly.
You switch I switch, Jack: On the role of interaction in Cabo Verdean language mixing
Authors: Eakins Sophia
Published: May 2024

This paper investigates the role turn-taking has in structuring language mixing practices in bilingual conversation. Previous research has observed that bilinguals prefer maintaining each other’s language usage e.g. Auer (1984: 28-29) ‘preference for same language talk.’ The present paper tests this hypothesis by exploring the language mixing patterns in the bilingual Cabo Verdean Creole (Kriolu)-English community in Boston. Two research questions drive the investigation: 1) How are bilinguals influencing each other’s language practices in an interactional context? 2) Are there observable contextual factors conditioning these interactional language practices? Four bilingual Kriolu-English conversations totaling 1.5 hours were analyzed focusing on the languages used at points of alternation between speaker turns. A quantitative analysis calculated the rate at which speakers maintained each other’s languages. Subsequently, a qualitative analysis explored possible contextual factors conditioning language change or maintenance. Results of the quantitative analysis show speakers have a broad preference for maintaining each other’s languages and the qualitative analysis supports that changing languages can be interactionally motivated.
Language use in Indigenous-authored television series
Authors: Whitney Anna , McDermott Ashley , Cerdan Therese , Bloomstein Samantha , Randall Meredith , Bednarek Monika , Meek Barbra A.
Published: May 2024

For much of telecinematic history depictions of Indigenous characters and languages have instantiated racist stereotypes that perpetuate White, colonial frameworks. However, a new generation of Indigenous writers, directors, producers, and actors use scripted performances to illuminate, contest, and reconfigure these representations, and ideally provoke new interpretations. Our paper examines how Indigenous screen creatives address the linguistic and representational erasures of dominant White, colonizing frameworks through the restructuring and performance of a (sub)genre of scripted speech: fictionalized land acknowledgements. Using discourse analysis, we examine land acknowledgements across five Indigenous-authored television series (two in the U.S. and three in Australia), focusing on how they diversify and complicate mainstream characterizations and bring in Indigenous discourses and perspectives. By “bending the rules,” characters (and authors) maintain the (sub)genre, but regain authority over it through such discursive refashioning. Our analysis explores how Indigenous screen creatives use language to transform, critique and/or reappropriate this (sub)genre. Ultimately, our research contributes to ongoing conversations about Indigenous language, discourse, and media’s role in transforming societal norms and structural injustices.
Information-theoretic applications to Hupa verbal morphology
Authors: Duval Cameron
Published: May 2024

Hupa (Na:tinixwe Mixine:whe’) is a Pacific Coast Dene language spoken in Hoopa Valley in Northern California. Like its Dene sisters, Hupa exhibits complex verbal morphology which has attracted decades of theoretical research. One approach that has yet to have been applied to these languages is information theory. Previous information-theoretic research into verbal morphology has uncovered a cross-linguistic trend of grouping predictive information closer together and finding morphemes that are more mutually-informative to the root closer to the root, which in turn reduces overall surprisal and is easier on memory constraints. However, these studies analyzed prominently suffixing languages of Afro-Eurasia. This project is the first application of these information-theoretic concepts to a Dene language to investigate if these approaches also apply to explain morpheme order in a low-resource, Indigenous American language with intricate, prominently-prefixing morphology. The results indicate similar findings to previous research. Hupa demonstrates a word-level linear morpheme order that, on average, orders most mutually-informative morphemes closest to the verb root compared to a randomized baseline. This morpheme order also resulted in an average surprisal that was more comparable to optimized morpheme orders than a randomized baseline. Morpheme-type mutual information, however, demonstrates the discrepancies between word- and templatic-level information content in Hupa, which exemplifies the word-level efficiency that Hupa shares with other languages despite the typological uniqueness of its morphological grammar.
A phonological analysis of the onset velar nasal merger in Hong Kong Cantonese
Authors: Lam Suet-Ying
Published: May 2024

This paper provides a phonological analysis of the onset /ŋ/ ↔ /∅/ merger in Hong Kong Cantonese (HKC). What is particularly challenging for a formal analysis here is that the insertion and deletion of [ŋ] can occur in the same environment, since a sound normally does not allow two contrasting operations in the same environment (McCarthy 2003). The current study employs an analysis using a probabilistic constraint-based grammar (Goldwater et al. 2003), by proposing that [ŋ] is a placeless consonant at the onset position. Thus, [ŋ] is inserted placelessly and gets its place from the following vowel. Insertion of other sounds can thus be excluded by penalizing place insertion.

En el turismo accesible se debe considerar la eliminación de barreras obstáculos, así mismo, el estado Colombiano debe diseñar políticas que conlleven a exigir a todas las ciudades del país como el cumplimiento obligatorio de incluir el turismo sostenible e los planes de desarrollo.
Phytochemical analysis of Silybum marianum flowers: Quantitative analysis of natural compounds and molecular docking application
Authors: Başar Yunus , Erenler Ramazan
Published: May 2024

Secondary metabolites in plants, identifying, quantifying, and determining the biological activity of plants enables the use of plants in different fields such as pharmacology, food, and cosmetics. Different chromatographic methods such as GC-MS/MS (volatile compounds, fatty acid) and LC-MS/MS (phenolic compounds) are used to identify and quantify these secondary metabolites. Silybum marianum is a member of the Asteraceae family and grows naturally. It is known among the public by names such as Thistle, Virgin Mary Thorn, and Milky Kengel. In this study, S. marianum hexane extract was analyzed by GC-MS/MS, and the methanol-chloroform (1:1 v/v) extract was analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Palmitic acid methyl ester (17.96%), linoleic acid methyl ester (14.20%), and sesquicineole (10.22%) were determined by GC-MS/MS. Moreover, LC-MS/MS analysis resulted in the quantification of chlorogenic acid (250.171 µg/g extract), salicylic acid (234.95 µg/g extract), isoquercitrin (210.65 µg/g extract), and rutin (102.05 µg/g extract). According to the analysis results, palmitic acid and chlorogenic acid were detected as the main components of fatty acid and phenolic compound respectively. Molecular docking was applied to determine their interaction with the urease enzyme. Palmitic acid and chlorogenic acid interaction with urease were calculated as a MolDock score of -104.63, and -113.21, with binding energies of -3.70, and -6.50 kcal/mol respectively. According to the results, chlorogenic acid may be a urease enzyme inhibitor.

Adolescence is a period of transition from child to adult, this period is often referred to as the critical period, where there is physical, psychological, sexual and intellectual growth, and the start of exploration of matters relating to sexual and romanticism. According to WHO, adolescents are aged 10-19 years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, students are still studying online at home. There are several things related to adolescent reproductive health that must be conveyed to students because Harapan Mulya Brangsong Vocational School is a vocational vocational school that has very little knowledge about adolescent reproductive health, misinformation that they get from social media can plunge students into negative sexual behavior. Based on the results of the Indonesian Demographic Health Survey (IDHS) in 2017, about 33.3% of female adolescents and 34.5% of male adolescents aged 15-19 years were at risk of risky sexual behavior. The purpose of the activity is to increase students' knowledge related to reproductive health. The activities carried out were in the form of counseling, discussion and question and answer using slides from Power point (ppt) and playing an explanation video about HIV AIDS risk factors that were shared in the whatsapp group and then questions and answers were carried out via wa group chat. The result of this activity was that 60 participants from class X to class XII saw an increase in students' knowledge about adolescent reproductive health during the Covid 19 pandemic, namely the mean pre test value of 40.98 increased with the mean post test value of 86.50.

The InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI) Orthoptera dataset contains records of 420 specimens covering all the eleven Orthoptera families occurring in Portugal. Specimens were collected in continental Portugal from 2005 to 2021 and were morphologically identified to species level by taxonomists. A total of 119 species were identified corresponding to about 77% of all the orthopteran species known from continental Portugal.

DNA barcodes of 54 taxa were made public for the first time at the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD). Furthermore, the submitted sequences were found to cluster in 129 BINs (Barcode Index Numbers), 35 of which were new additions to the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD). All specimens have their DNA barcodes publicly accessible through BOLD online database. Stenobothrus lineatus is recorded for the first time for continental Portugal. This dataset greatly increases the knowledge on the DNA barcodes and distribution of Orthoptera from Portugal. All DNA extractions and most specimens are deposited in the IBI collection at CIBIO, Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources.

Based on several field investigations, many molluscan shells and chondrichthyan teeth, together with other invertebrate and actinopterygian remains were found from the marine Bangkok Clay deposits in Ongkharak, Nakhon Nayok, at a depth of ~ 5–7 m below the topsoil surface. Animal macrofossils recovered from these Holocene marine deposits were identified and their chronological context was investigated in order to reconstruct the paleoenvironments of the area at that time. The majority of marine fossils recovered from the site consist of molluscs, with a total of 63 species identified. Other invertebrate species include a stony coral, a mud lobster, barnacles, and a sea urchin. The vertebrates are represented by fish remains, including carcharhinid shark teeth from at least nine species, stingray and trichiurid teeth, and one sciaenid otolith. The molluscan fauna indicates that the paleoenvironments of the area corresponded to intertidal to sublittoral zones, where some areas were mangrove forests and intertidal mudflats. The fish fauna is dominated by the river sharkGlyphis, indicating freshwater influences and possibly occasional brackish conditions. The carbon-14 analysis of mollusc and charcoal remains shows that deposition of the marine sediment sequence began during the mid-Holocene, spanning approximately from 8,800 to 5,300 cal yr BP. This study provides in-depth insights into the diversity of fishes, marine molluscs, and other invertebrates from the Bangkok Clay deposits, supporting the existence of a marine transgression onto the Lower Central Plain of Thailand during the mid-Holocene.

Published: May 2024

We investigated the combined impact of convective boundary conditions, thermal conductivity, and magnetohydrodynamic on the flow of a tangent hyperbolic nanofluid across the stratified surface. Furthermore, the ramifications of Brownian motion, thermophoresis, and activation energy were considered. Heat generation, chemical reactions, mixed convection, thermal conductivity, and other elements were considered when analyzing heat transfer phenomena. The governing equations were converted via similarity transformations into non-dimensional ordinary differential equations in order to analyze the system. Using the shooting method, the problem's solution was determined. We showed the mathematical significance of the temperature, concentration profiles, and velocity of each fluid parameter. These profiles were thoroughly described and shown graphically. The findings demonstrated that as the Weissenberg number and magnetic number increased, the fluid velocity profile decreased. Higher heat generation and thermophoresis parameters resulted in an increase in the temperature profile. Higher Brownian motion and Schmidt parameter values resulted in a drop in the concentration profile. Tables were used to discuss the numerical values of skin friction ($ {C}_{fx} $), Nusselt number ($ {Nu}_{x} $), and Sherwood number ($ S{h}_{x} $). For the greater values of Weissenberg number and mixed convection parameters, skin friction numerical values fell while Nusselt numbers rose.

Published: May 2024

Hepatitis B is a worldwide viral infection that causes cirrhosis, hepatocellular cancer, the need for liver transplantation, and death. This work proposed a mathematical representation of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) transmission traits emphasizing the significance of applied mathematics in comprehending how the disease spreads. The work used an updated Atangana-Baleanu fractional difference operator to create a fractional-order model of HBV. The qualitative assessment and well-posedness of the mathematical framework were looked at, and the global stability of equilibrium states as measured by the Volterra-type Lyapunov function was summarized. The exact answer was guaranteed to be unique using the Lipschitz condition. Additionally, there were various analyses of this new type of operator to support the operator's efficacy. We observe that the explored discrete fractional operators will be $ \chi^2 $-increasing or decreasing in certain domains of the time scale $ \mathbb{N}_j: = {j, j + 1, ... } $ by looking at the fundamental characteristics of the proposed discrete fractional operators along with $ \chi $-monotonicity descriptions. For numerical simulations, solutions were constructed in the discrete generalized form of the Mittag-Leffler kernel, highlighting the impacts of the illness caused by numerous causes. The order of the fractional derivative had a significant influence on the dynamical process utilized to construct the HBV model. Researchers and policymakers can benefit from the suggested model's ability to forecast infectious diseases such as HBV and take preventive action.

Published: May 2024

Public rental housing has received widespread attention from the government and the public, and with the global response to climate change and the goal of “carbon peak and carbon neutral,” the development of green and low-carbon rental housing has become an important trend. Against this background, the design of public rental housing in this project is designed with the hope that students will take the problem as the guide, performance optimization as the means, and start from the perspective of architectural design to explore the combination of low-carbon strategy or green technology and design in order to create low-carbon public rental housing. The paper analyzes and shows four groups of assignments in detail, which, through crowd demand analysis and site analysis, propose corresponding low-carbon driven design solution strategies from four aspects: the design of shared carbon-saving living patterns, the pattern organization of innovative central corridors that facilitate lighting and ventilation, algorithm-driven form generation, and the composite optimization of radiant heat in the façade.
Collective Translation as Forking (分岔)
Authors: Hsu Shih-yu , Soon Winnie , Lee Tzu-Tung , Lee Chia-Lin , Cox Geoff
Published: May 2024

Together with a Taiwanese working group, we have been producing a Chinese translation of Aesthetic Programming: A Handbook of Software Studies, a free and open source book first written by Winnie Soon and Geoff Cox in 2020, and released in English in a git repository, dynamic website, downloadable PDF and printed form. Apart from learning to code in p5.js, the book addresses the cultural and aesthetic dimensions of programming from its insides, as a means to think and act critically, and to understand the importance of programming as a cultural practice that can develop discussion of issues that are relatively under-acknowledged in technical subjects such as gender, race and sexuality. Importantly, the book is understood as a computational object, not released as a fixed and universal teaching resource, but rather a situated curriculum with the potential for extension and customization with other arts and coding communities. The use of Git has allowed the authors to formalize its production as an iterative process, allowing for reversioning and for others to fork a copy and customize with different references, examples, critical reflections and even new chapters. The interest is in forking a book like forking software, and incorporating local knowledge and examples, and how this resonates with a politics of cultural translation. This essay will elaborate on the process of running two open participatory workshops that were conducted in Taipei and London (in 2023) with the aim to challenge some of the normative social relations of production associated with translation, and explore other possibilities of collective practice.
The politics of translation has been well-established in general, but what of the specifics of translating a book such as this? Aside from the technical and aesthetic challenges and implications, this raises the question of how the Chinese language model enforces particular hegemonic worldviews that occlude differences. With all the variants of Chinese language, how is this tied to expressions of colonial power that resonates with our use of English? Given the rich variations of Chinese and indigenous languages (not least in a Taiwanese context), we are curious how we might be sensitive to language diversity that challenges the Western-centrism of programming in English (and inherent nationalisms). We are also mindful of the way that “queer” politics has informed the way that terms can be appropriated/expropriated, as a means to “talk back” to the source codes of oppression. What are the implications of drawing the practices of forking and translating together?
