The behavior of birds in a group represents a different level of interaction, competition between individuals in the composition of animals located in limited areas. The hierarchical relationships of individuals are explored by monitoring various interactions, mostly "negative". The paper uses an analysis-experiment of behavior in competitive situations. Using methods - behavioral characteristics in birds (K. Lorenz, 1930), pecking order (T. Schelderup-Ebbe, 1922), community organization (McBride, 1959) - a study was conducted on the interaction of chickens of the Avicolor breed. In the study, "tournament tables" were compiled based on ethograms, in which the number of pecking of chickens among themselves for a specific period of time was noted. Next, we form a table that will show the number of pecks of the chicken that hit other members of the group - a vertical column, and the number of blows that this chicken received from other participants - a horizontal column. In this study, an analysis is presented for the behavior of chickens, which was a linear hierarchy, where K was the dominant individual, in which the newly introduced individual T ranked seventh. After the removal of the dominant (individual K) from the group for a certain period of time, the individual T occupies the first rank position, and after the return, the individual K occupies a dominant position. It is assumed that the hierarchical ranking that singles out the most capable individuals gives them preferential success in the process of natural selection.

The article aims to analyze approaches to developing taxonomies of green projects recommended by the standard of the International Organization for Standardization, and to assess perspectives for applying these approaches while improving the Russian taxonomy of green projects. The timeliness of the research is caused by the urgent necessity to work out a scientific rationale for systematizing incomplete and controversial attitudes to the evaluation of green projects. A taxonomy is a classification based on clearly stated criteria. The international standard sets the following criteria: reduction of greenhouse gases emissions and increase of their absorption; climate change adaptation; sustainable water management; circular economy development; pollution prevention and control (based on best available techniques); biodiversity protection and restoration. The article considers principles of forming the taxonomy of sustainable development (including green) projects passed in the Russian Federation. Authors underline that the priority role for the sustainable development of industry is played by projects aimed at the enhancement of resource efficiency of production processes. The article analyzes approaches to working out and implementing green projects in the cement manufacturing using criteria (1) worked out by Russian researchers and (2) recommended by the international standard. Authors suggest applying approaches of sustainable development (including green) projects passed in the Russian Federation.

Different types of underlying surface of Kuibyshev reservoir watershed, morphometric heterogeneity and active hydrodynamic regime of water area determine also different composition of bottom sediments and content of organic matter in different parts of this water body. Comparative analysis of integral curves of particle-size composition of bottom sediments of Priplotinnyples and Cheremshanskiy bay showed a significant difference in the parameters of these curves. The analysis is based on the soil maps of the catchment area, bathymetric maps, the distribution field of the bottom sediments coarseness and the share of organic matter in them, as well as the velocity fields obtained as a result of hydrodynamic modeling of the water area. Comparable water areas differ fundamentally in the intensity of water exchange. Prilotinnyples is more hydrodynamically active water area, whereas Cheremshansky bay is characterized by extremely slow water exchange. At the same time, the private catchment of the tribe is represented by easily eroded light loams, dolomites and limestones. While the upper part of the private catchment area of the bay is heavily forested, and the lower part of the catchment area is composed of medium and heavy loams. All this determined the formation of bottom sediments (in the form of fine and medium sands) by bedrock and products of channel erosion of the upper and middle sections of the hydrographic network of the Cheremshanka River. Whereas fine-dispersed products of soil erosion in the private watershed of the tribe formed the bottom sediments, represented mainly by silt-silt fractions. Also well warmed extensive shallow water area of the bay creates favorable conditions for mass development of plankton community, its die-off and sedimentation in the form of detritus to the bottom. Whereas greater depth and active hydrodynamics of water masses in the Priplotinnyples determine lower content of organic matter in bottom sediments. The greatest amount of detritus is carried by current from shallow water zones and is deposited in the deep central and right bank part of the tribe.

The study aims to describe, analyze and measure the impact of the general budget deficit on the trade balance deficit in Algeria for the period 1990–2020, through the application of the VAR autoregressive ray model. The study concluded that there is a direct relationship between the two variables, indicating that the rise in the general budget deficit contributes to raising the trade balance deficit. The analysis of the response and variance countries also showed that there is a positive significant effect of the general budget deficit on the deficit of the Algerian trade balance in the short term, but no effect in the long term. This study contributes to the current literature by using the VAR model to analyze the impact of the general budget deficit on the trade balance deficit in Algeria for the period 1990–2020. It is measured through the balance of the general budget and of the trade balance. The study shows that there is a strong positive impact and statistical significance of the general budget deficit on the trade balance deficit.
Optimal Sizing and Locations of Capacitors Using Slime Mould Algorithm
Authors: Ali E. S. , Elazim S. M. Abd
Published: November 2022

A new and powerful approach called Slime Mould Algorithm (SMA) is suggested in this paper, for optimal siting and sizing of capacitors for an IEEE distribution network. First, the most nominee buses for installing capacitors are developed using various indices. Loss Sensitivity Factors (LSF), Voltage Stability Index (VSI), and Power Loss Index (PLI) are employed to determine the selected buses. Then the proposed SMA is used to deduce the size of capacitors and their positions from the picked buses. The objective function is introduced to minimize the net cost and then, increase the total saving per year. The developed approach is tested on the IEEE distribution network. The obtained results are compared with others to highlight the advantages of the developed approach. Also, the results are presented to confirm its influence in minifying the losses, and net cost and to improve the voltage profile and total saving for a radial distribution network.

Oculomotor rehearsal in visuospatial working memory
Authors: McAteer Siobhan M. , McGregor Anthony , Smith Daniel T.
Published: November 2022

The neural and cognitive mechanisms of spatial working memory are tightly coupled with the systems that control eye movements, but the precise nature of this coupling is not well understood. It has been argued that the oculomotor system is selectively involved in rehearsal of spatial but not visual material in visuospatial working memory. However, few studies have directly compared the effect of saccadic interference on visual and spatial memory, and there is little consensus on how the underlying working memory representation is affected by saccadic interference. In this study we aimed to examine how working memory for visual and spatial features is affected by overt and covert attentional interference across two experiments. Participants were shown a memory array, then asked to either maintain fixation or to overtly or covertly shift attention in a detection task during the delay period. Using the continuous report task we directly examined the precision of visual and spatial working memory representations and fit psychophysical functions to investigate the sources of recall error associated with different types of interference. These data were interpreted in terms of embodied theories of attention and memory and provide new insights into the nature of the interactions between cognitive and motor systems.
Learning to suppress a distractor may not be unconscious

Published: November 2022

The additional singleton task has become a popular paradigm to explore visual statistical learning and selective attention. In this task, participants are instructed to find a different-shaped target among a series of distractors as fast as possible. In some trials, the search display includes a singleton distractor with a different color, making search more difficult. This singleton distractor appears more often in one location than in the remaining locations. The typical results of these experiments show that participants learn to ignore the area of the screen that is more likely to contain the singleton distractor. It is often claimed that this learning takes place unconsciously, because at the end of the experiment participants seem to be unable to identify the location where the singleton distractor appeared most frequently during the task. In the present study, we tested participants’ awareness in three high-powered experiments using alternative measures. Contrary to previous studies, the results show clear evidence of explicit knowledge about which area of the display was more likely to contain the singleton distractor, suggesting that this type of learning might not be unconscious.
Learned feature regularities enable suppression of spatially overlapping stimuli
Authors: Thayer Daniel D. , Miller Maggie , Giesbrecht Barry , Sprague Thomas C.
Published: November 2022

Contemporary theories of attentional control state that information can be prioritized based on selection history. Even though theories agree that selection history can impact representations of spatial location, which in turn helps guide attention, there remains disagreement on whether nonspatial features (e.g., color) are modulated in a similar way. While previous work has demonstrated color suppression using visual search tasks, it is possible that the location corresponding to the distractor was suppressed, consistent with a spatial mechanism of suppression. Here, we sought to rule out this possibility by testing whether similar suppression of a learned distractor color can occur for spatially overlapping visual stimuli. On a given trial, two spatially superimposed stimuli (line arrays) were tilted either left or right of vertical and presented in one of four distinct colors. Subjects performed a speeded report of the orientation of the “target” array with the most lines. Critically, the distractor array was regularly one color, and this high-probability color was never the color of the target array, which encouraged learned suppression. In two experiments, responses to the target array were fastest when the distractor array was in the high-probability color, suggesting participants suppressed the distractor color. Additionally, when regularities were removed, the high-probability distractor color continued to benefit speeded target identification for individual subjects (E1) but slowed target identification (E2) when presented in the target array. Together, these results indicate that learned suppression of feature-based regularities modulates target detection performance independent of spatial location and persists over time.
Evaluation of electrosynthesized reduced graphene oxide - Ni-, Fe-, Co-based (oxy)hydroxide catalysts toward oxygen evolution reaction

Published: November 2022

In this work, the effect of the addition of graphene oxide (GO) to nickel-iron (NiFe) and cobalt-nickel-iron (CoNiFe) mixed oxide/hydroxide/(oxy)hydroxide catalysts on their morphological, structural, and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic activity is investigated. The catalysts are fabricated during two-step electrodeposition: the first step includes the deposition of GO flakes, which in the second step become reduced with simultaneous deposition of NiFe or CoNiFe. As a result, NiFe-GO and CoNiFe-GO are fabricated without any additives directly on the nickel foam substrate. A significant improvement of the OER activity was observed after combining NiFe with GO (OER overpotential η(10 mA·cm-2): 210 mV) compared to NiFe (η: 235 mV) and GO (η: 320 mV) alone. Different OER activity was observed for CoNiFe-GO. Here, the overall catalytic activity (η: 230 mV) increased compared to GO alone, however it was reduced in comparison with the CoNiFe (η: 224 mV). The latter was associated with the change in the morphology and structure of the catalysts. Further OER studies show that each of the catalysts has a specific role in influencing the process: the improvement in the OER by NiFe-GO results mainly from the structure of NiFe and the electroactive surface area of GO.

A Study on the Narrative Strategy of the Movie
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Han Laehee
Published: November 2022

This paper aims to newly interpret the meaning of narrative ambiguity through an analysis of narrative strategies in the movie .  adopts a mystery genre, but rather than solving suspicions, the resolution of ambiguity continues to be postponed. Existing studies have shown limitations in that the relationship between Ben and narrative ambiguity has not been properly identified by simplifying and interpreting Ben as a heartless villain. In this paper, the narrative strategy of  was analyzed with a focus on the concept of others’ desires under this awareness of the problem. Burning begins as a melodrama, but it rapidly turns into a mystery as Ben appears. The movie amplifies the mystery by presenting elements one by one, which make Ben perceived as the owner of a suspicious secret. After Ben’s appearance, Jong-su and Ben are seen in a class confrontation, while at the same time it is highlighted in the movie that Jong-su is obsessed with the ambivalent feeling of fascination and doubt about Ben’s desire. The characteristic of the second half of Burning’s narrative is the method of linking the two events: finding the reason for Hammy’s disappearance and confirming whether Ben’s greenhouse is burning. The movie induces distance from Jong-su by placing double elements that make Jong-su doubt rather than a scene where Jongsu follows Ben. In addition, scenes that blur the boundaries of “reality/dream” are used to amplify the suspicion that the reality that is apparent may be Jong-su’s fantasy. The Burning ending sequence ostensibly contains revenge for Ben, who killed Hammy, but the form of murder is based on Ben’s words. It is Ben’s desire for Burning that is gripping Jong-su’s desire. The ending scene where Jong-su is leaving the burning car behind and leaving the scene raises questions about whether he solved the mystery of Ben’s desire and killed him. In short, the ambiguity inherent in the narrative of “Burning” is meant as a reservation and rejection of hasty judgment on the identity of anger and desire that dominates our time. “Burning” asks for a new reflection on the identity and expression of anger that dominates today’s younger generation in an era of uncertaint
Woobo Min Tae-won’s Newspaper Article Column Study
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Nah Sojung
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to find, organize, and analyze the newspaper article columns of Woobo Min Tae-won. Min Tae-won is famous for his essay “cheongchun-yechan”, but his academic research has not progressed. As a professional journalist and writer, he composed noteworthy works in various fields and this study focused on Min Tae-won’s newspaper article columns. They are a valuable source of information that provide insights about his ideological orientation. All of Min Taewon’s columns were identified and cataloged in this study. Including the newly discovered materials. In this article, his columns are arranged by order of presentation. Significant issues and development patterns were outlined by period, and the characteristics and contents of the columns were classified and analyzed. The results of the analysis are summarized as follows. Min Tae-won exhibited characteristics of a journalist pursuing real interests through his columns. He appeared to consciously aim for a pragmatic line that thoroughly reduced the problematic reality of colonial Joseon to modern individual problems and promoted intelligence and character with expertise. His columns are consistent with a pragmatism closely related to the life of the masses rather than an ideology, in a way that calls out the reading public of Joseon rather than the nation. This is interpreted as choosing to serve within the system at the border of censorship and control. Min Tae-won clearly recognized his limitations, demanded professional expertise throughout his literary activities, and emphasized the modern life of an individual faithful to it. This study cataloged Ubo's column data, arranged translations into modern languages, and collected and analyzed undiscovered data. It will be meaningful as it provides basic data for academic research through a bibliographic approach and empirical analysis of Min Tae-won’s column. Moreover, as a figure who pioneered the press in the early days of modernity, he innovated newspaper editing, and simultaneously provided a meaningful foundation for three-dimensional reconstruction of his activities and achievements, greatly influencing form and editing of later newspapers, such as renewing space and using modern language. It is also meaningful in that it will be a useful foundation for a three-dimensional understanding of his activities and achievements, which greatly influenced the form and editing of later newspapers as a pioneer who shaped the media in the early modern period.

perkembangan Organisasi IWIG (Ikatan Waria Indonesia Gorontalo) dan Bagaimana Organisasi IWIG (Ikatan Waria Indonesia Gorontalo) mempertahankan eksistensinya ditengah stigma negatif dari masyarakat. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan strategi penelitian studi kasus. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa awal mula terbentuknya Organisasi Ikatan Waria Indonesia Gorontalo (IWIG) seringnya waria berkumpul dan tanpa tujuan yang jelas sehingga muncul ide untuk medirikan IWIG sebagai wadah bagi waria Gorontalo untuk berekspresi didalamnya dengan aturan yang ada.  Dalam proses perkembangannya IWIG terlibat melakukan kerjasama dengan berbagai pihak dalam berbagai kegiatan serta kepentingan IWIG, mulai dari Pemerintah Gorontalo serta masyarakat Gorontalo. Hal tersebut diperkuat dengan teori kapital sosial yang mengatakan bahwa kapital sosial akan kuat tergantung pada kapasitas yang ada dalam kelompok masyarakat untuk membangun sejumlah asosiasi berikut membangun jaringannya. Kapital sosial terletak pula pada kemampuan sekelompok orang dalam suatu asosiasi atau perkumpulan dalam melibatkan diri dalam suatu jaringan hubungan sosial. Dalam menghadapi stigma negatif dari masyarakat IWIG lebih menggunakan pendekatan langsung dengan masyarakat, serta melibatkan masyarakat langsung dalam kegiatan yang dilaksanakan oleh IWIG, kemudian IWIG juga turut berpartisipasi secara aktif dengan kegiatan baik yang diselenggarakan pemerintah, sehingga dengan begitu menunjukkan jika waria juga dengan warga negara yang punya hak dan kewajiban seperti masyarakat pada umumnya

Published: November 2022

Background: This study compared the degree of sustained control of hyperthyroidism in patients with toxic multinodular goiter (TMNG) treated with long-term methimazole (LT-MMI) or radioactive iodine (RAI).Methods: In this clinical trial, 130 untreated patients with TMNG were randomized to either LT-MMI or RAI treatment. Both groups were followed for 108 to 148 months, with median follow-up durations of 120 and 132 months in the LT-MMI and RAI groups, respectively. Both groups of patients were followed every 1 to 3 months in the first year and every 6 months thereafter.Results: After excluding patients in whom the treatment modality was changed and those who were lost to follow-up, 53 patients in the LT-MMI group and 54 in the RAI group completed the study. At the end of the study period, 50 (96%) and 25 (46%) patients were euthyroid, and two (4%) and 25 (46%) were hypothyroid in LT-MMI and RAI groups, respectively. In the RAI group, four (8%) patients had subclinical hyperthyroidism. The mean time to euthyroidism was 4.3±1.3 months in LT-MMI patients and 16.3± 15.0 months in RAI recipients (P<0.001). Patients treated with LT-MMI spent 95.8%±5.9% of the 12-year study period in a euthyroid state, whereas this proportion was 72.4%±14.8% in the RAI-treated patients (P<0.001). No major treatment-related adverse events were observed in either group.Conclusion: In patients with TMNG, LT-MMI therapy is superior to RAI treatment, as shown by the earlier achievement of euthyroidism and the longer duration of sustained normal serum thyrotropin.
CUSTOMER PREFERENCE ANALYSIS FROM ONLINE REVIEWS BY A 2-ADDITIVE CHOQUET INTEGRAL-BASED PREFERENCE DISAGGREGATION MODEL
Authors: Liao Huchang , Yang Qian , Wu Xingli
Published: November 2022

Online reviews have become an important data source for analyzing consumers’ preferences. Consumer preference analysis assists product managers to understand consumers’ propensity for different product attributes and make consumer-oriented market strategies. Existing studies on consumer preference analysis used simple additive algorithms to represent the relationship between overall ratings and attribute ratings, but ignored the interactions between attributes. In addition, not all attribute ratings were given by consumers when calculating the overall ratings of a product. To fill these gaps, a preference model based on the extended 2-additive Choquet integral is constructed. The 2-additive Choquet integral can reflect the importance of attributes and the interactions between pairs of attributes when integrating attribute ratings. In cases where consumers choose only a subset of product attributes to rate a product, we introduce the scale parameter into the 2-additive Choquet integral to characterize the relationship between different attribute subsets. Afterwards, a preference disaggregation paradigm based on nonlinear programming is provided to solve the preference model. Finally, the proposed method is validated by experimental analysis using the dataset collected from TripAdvisor.com. Experimental outcomes indicate that our approach can deduce consumers’ preferences and approximate the evaluation behavior of consumers efficiently.
Small but voracious: invasive generalist consumes more zooplankton in winter than native planktivore
Authors: Ogorelec Žiga , Brinker Alexander , Straile Dietmar
Published: November 2022

In recent years, Lake Constance has experienced an invasion and domination of three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) in the pelagic zone, which has coincided with a decline in the native whitefish (Coregonus wartmanni) population. Similar massive invasions of sticklebacks into pelagic zones have been recognized also in marine areas or small lakes worldwide. However, their diet overlaps with native species is rarely evaluated, especially in the winter season, which often presents a bottleneck for fish survival. In this study, we compared the diet of pelagic sticklebacks with the diet of the substantially larger native whitefish in different seasons, to evaluate the threat of the recent stickleback invasion on whitefish populations. By monthly sampling of zooplankton and both fish species diets, we could demonstrate that sticklebacks select similar prey throughout most of the year and consume more prey than whitefish during the winter. With relations between prey availability and prey selection, interspecific and intraspecific seasonal diet variability and indices like a prey-specific index of relative importance, we discuss the importance of zooplankton species traits and abundance for whitefish and stickleback predation. This study shows that sticklebacks, despite their small size, represent a serious potential diet competitor to native planktivorous fish. Sticklebacks quickly adapt to new environments, and thus we advocate precautions regarding their introduction into similar lakes as Lake Constance, as this could cause irreversible ecological changes.

Michael 'Mick' McGahey: Miner, communist and trade union leader
Authors: Gibbs Ewan
Published: November 2022

Michael McGahey was born in the Lanarkshire mining town of Shotts in 1925, a year before the general strike and miners' lockout. He died in 1999, the year that the Scottish Parliament, which he was credited with playing a leading role in bringing about, was established. McGahey had
come to public prominence in the preceding decades as President of the National Union of Mineworkers Scottish Area (NUMSA) and a public face of British miners' industrial action in the 1970s and 1980s. This paper is based on trade union and archival records, as well as oral testimonies recorded
with close comrades of McGahey, including his son, senior Scottish Communists and NUMSA officials. It firstly assesses the foundation of McGahey's worldview in the context of class struggle, personal and familial hardship and entering the mining industry as a young man. The second section
overviews McGahey's evolution from a colliery activist to a national trade union leader, underlining his willingness to build pragmatic broad left alliances between Labour and Communist affiliated miners. Section three explores the the connection between McGahey's commitment to Communism and
his support for a Scottish Parliament within the United Kingdom.
Construire un droit démocratique de la sécurité nationale
Authors: Warusfel Bertrand
Published: November 2022

Résumé Depuis 2009 le concept de sécurité nationale est reconnu en droit français et succède à la notion de défense nationale qu'avait instituée l'ordonnance du 7 janvier 1959. Cet article cherche à démontrer que ce changement de concept a une traduction juridique qui se retrouve dans différents textes législatifs ayant été adoptés ou réformés dans la dernière décennie. Pour ce faire, il précise dans une première partie le périmètre de la sécurité nationale et distingue ses deux modalités complémentaires : des dispositions légales permanentes et des prérogatives exceptionnelles, puis insiste sur le fait que la sécurité nationale peut justifier certaines restrictions à l'exercice des libertés. L'article identifie alors quelques principes majeurs qui doivent gouverner une sécurité nationale démocratique depuis le rôle essentiel de la loi jusqu'à l'application du principe de proportionnalité et la nécessité d'en exercer le contrôle par des mécanismes indépendants et permettant, le cas échéant, l'accès aux informations classifiées. En conclusion, la construction d'un droit démocratique de la sécurité nationale paraît nécessaire pour apporter un cadre juridique approprié aux politiques publiques de prévention et de gestion des crises.
Le secret de la défense nationale : la raison d'État dans l'œil du droit
Authors: Christelle Maxence
Published: November 2022

Résumé Le régime juridique du secret de la défense nationale a connu le 1er juillet 2021 sa réforme la plus importante depuis le décret du 17 juillet 1998 qui fixait jusque-là le régime applicable. Désormais, le secret passe d'une classification tripartite (confidentiel défense, secret défense, très secret défense) à un double niveau (secret défense, très secret défense). Cette modification est l'occasion de revenir sur l'analyse critique de la définition même du secret défense, et des modalités de son contrôle. Or, sur ce terrain, force est de constater que la réforme intervenue n'a absolument pas permis de répondre aux multiples difficultés qui accompagnent l'usage du secret par les autorités exécutives (périmètre indéfini, contrôle extrêmement limité opéré par le juge), et que les fondements juridiques invoqués pour justifier cette situation sont peu convaincants. La présente recherche vise donc à essayer de dresser un portrait réaliste, afin d'anticiper les futurs changements que cette matière aura à connaître. Si le secret dans son existence même doit être défendu, des améliorations sont néanmoins possibles afin que son usage corresponde à ce pour quoi il a été institué.

In this article, we discuss conditions that are sufficient for the existence of solutions for some $ {\psi} $-Hilfer fractional integro-differential equations with non-instantaneous impulsive multi-point boundary conditions. By applying Krasnoselskii's and Banach's fixed point theorems, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of these solutions. Moreover, we have proved its boundedness of the method. We extend some earlier results by introducing and including the $ {\psi} $-Hilfer fractional derivative, nonlinear integral terms and non-instantaneous impulsive conditions. Finally, we offer an application to explain the consistency of our theoretical results.
A direct integral pseudospectral method for solving a class of infinite-horizon optimal control problems using Gegenbauer polynomials and certain parametric maps
Authors: Elgindy Kareem T. , Refat Hareth M.
Published: November 2022

We present a novel direct integral pseudospectral (PS) method (a direct IPS method) for solving a class of continuous-time infinite-horizon optimal control problems (IHOCs). The method transforms the IHOCs into finite-horizon optimal control problems in their integral forms by means of certain parametric mappings, which are then approximated by finite-dimensional nonlinear programming problems (NLPs) through rational collocations based on Gegenbauer polynomials and Gegenbauer-Gauss-Radau (GGR) points. The paper also analyzes the interplay between the parametric maps, barycentric rational collocations based on Gegenbauer polynomials and GGR points and the convergence properties of the collocated solutions for IHOCs. Some novel formulas for the construction of the rational interpolation weights and the GGR-based integration and differentiation matrices in barycentric-trigonometric forms are derived. A rigorous study on the error and convergence of the proposed method is presented. A stability analysis based on the Lebesgue constant for GGR-based rational interpolation is investigated. Two easy-to-implement pseudocodes of computational algorithms for computing the barycentric-trigonometric rational weights are described. Three illustrative test examples are presented to support the theoretical results. We show that the proposed collocation method leveraged with a fast and accurate NLP solver converges exponentially to near-optimal approximations for a coarse collocation mesh grid size. The paper also shows that typical direct spectral/PS and IPS methods based on classical Jacobi polynomials and certain parametric maps usually diverge as the number of collocation points grow large if the computations are carried out using floating-point arithmetic and the discretizations use a single mesh grid, regardless of whether they are of Gauss/Gauss-Radau type or equally spaced.
A symmetry theorem in two-phase heat conductors
Authors: Kang Hyeonbae , Sakaguchi Shigeru
Published: November 2022

We consider the Cauchy problem for the heat diffusion equation in the whole Euclidean space consisting of two media with different constant conductivities, where initially one medium has temperature 0 and the other has temperature 1. Under the assumptions that one medium is bounded and the interface is of class $ C^{2, \alpha} $, we show that if the interface is stationary isothermic, then it must be a sphere. The method of moving planes due to Serrin is directly utilized to prove the result.

Belonging as a Predictor of Substance Use for Muslim American Emerging Adults
Authors: Hashem Hanan , Dossani Haroon , Ghani Minha , Ahsen Ahmad Shafaat , Morshed Celine
Published: November 2022

Identified as a human need, belonging is severely under-studied among Muslim American emerging adults. During this transitional period, Muslim American emerging adults must also grapple with experiences of discrimination and ostracization, which may increase the likelihood of substance use as a coping mechanism. Due to the experiences of marginalization, combined with the taboo nature of substance use in religious and cultural contexts, Muslim American young adults may be at an increased risk for negative mental health outcomes compared to their non-Muslim peers. Therefore, it is important to identify predictors of substance use in Muslim American young adults to provide culturally relevant and responsive prevention and intervention measures. Our study surveyed 183 Muslim American young adults using snowball sampling to collect data on substance use and belonging experiences. Findings from the study provide evidence of moderate substance use among Muslim American young adults, with nearly half of the sample reporting lifetime use. Results from a binary logistic regression indicate that young American Muslims with higher rates of belonging to the Muslim community are less likely to report using substances compared to young Muslims with lower rates of belonging to the Muslim community.
Faith-Based Domestic Violence Training: Building Community Responses with an Islamic Perspective in Palestine
Authors: Berte Denise Ziya , Mahamid Fayez
Published: November 2022

Domestic violence or intimate partner violence affects 1 in 3 women internationally, but despite impacting women from all nations, it has somehow become a point of contention between more secular factions in the western world and traditional Islamic countries under Muslim majority rule. This perceived conflict of ideology has led to a polarization serving to separate affected communities and slow progress on needed resolutions. In Palestine, a long-awaited proposed Family Protection Act has been paralyzed due to public outcry that it is not representative of the cultural and religious context of the country. The following study introduced a training in domestic violence for mental health and social service providers in Palestine that was created by the Peaceful Families Project, a non-profit educational and advocacy organization. The study aims to introduce the understanding that domestic violence is in fact a Muslim issue with clear directives for prevention using a faith-based methodology. Despite having professional experience working with domestic violence over years, participants demonstrated significant changes in knowledge, attitude, and stated potential behaviors after the training. Qualitative data enriched the discussion with participants stating that such efforts could change the narrative and overcome the perceived western bias of domestic violence awareness currently offered in Palestine. It also opens the door for indigenous perspectives and creative, culturally generated solutions to this critical issue. Using faith-based initiatives that correspond to the native culture of a community can increase motivation, ownership, and the opportunity for unique programming and innovative methodologies.
Moral Encroachment under Moral Uncertainty
Authors: Babic Boris , Johnson King Zoë
Published: November 2022

This paper discusses a novel problem at the intersection of ethics and epistemology: there can be cases in which moral considerations seem to "encroach'' upon belief from multiple directions at once, and possibly to varying degrees, thereby leaving their overall effect on belief unclear. We introduce these cases -- cases of moral encroachment under moral uncertainty -- and show that they pose a problem for all predominant accounts of moral encroachment. We then address the problem, by developing a modular Bayesian framework that, we argue, is sufficiently flexible and scaleable to accommodate the multifaceted uncertainty we describe while still generating clear recommendations for an agent's beliefs. Our framework has several practical upshots, and we close by articulating them: we derive insights about the relationship between moral character and doxastic behavior and make suggestions for how to encourage people to revise their doxastic states in morally laudable ways, without deviating from core Bayesian norms.
