Science communication and university Extension initiatives are evolving in response to society’s needs and an ever-changing digital landscape. The UF/IFAS Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants (CAIP) has recently launched a podcast called Working in the Weeds (WITW). We surveyed podcast listeners to find out their motivations for listening and asked for their feedback on current episodes and future content. The survey revealed that a majority of respondents were individuals who work in the world of invasive plants. Many respondents were introduced to the podcast through work and listen to learn more about relevant research and information, to feel connected to the Center, and to be entertained. Overall, the respondents were satisfied with the podcast production elements and the variety of episode styles. Based on open-ended responses, listeners described that the podcast shares science in a meaningful way and the Center should continue producing episodes that highlight invasive plant research. Some respondents suggested future episodes should cover specific invasive plants, environmental impacts, herbicide use and safety, management techniques, and social issues surrounding invasive plant management.

Incidence of environmental factors on travertine façade of heritage buildings in the historic center of Cuenca-Ecuador. A test scenario through Digital Imagen Processing
Authors: Aguirre Ullauri María del Cisne , Cabrera Mejía Javier Bernardo , Guerrero Granda Carlos Ernesto , López Suscal Michelle
Published: May 2024

The problem of architectural heritage conservation in a consolidated historic urban context is of worldwide relevance. In Ecuador, and specifically in Cuenca, there are no specific approaches to evaluate the environmental impact on the heritage deterioration, therefore, an alternative diagnostic of travertine facades is proposed to define the levels of deterioration based on climatic factors through a case study. Two research stages are developed; 1) preliminary diagnosis of the architectural, environmental and anthropic components, using architectural cards and Leopold’s Multivariable Matrix; and 2) quasi-experimental analysis with a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) based on real-time data collection of potential environmental variables to generate deterioration, which focuses on image processing. This technique is gaining momentum because it offers the possibility of studying the characteristics of surfaces through a non-invasive procedure. This paper describes the application of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NVDI) algorithm applied to RGB images known as False-NVDI in order to obtain the deterioration caused by the incidence of environmental factors on the travertine facades. In particular, images of two buildings belonging to the Historic Center of the City of Cuenca were used. The results indicate that this technique has a great potential to determine three levels of deterioration; good, fair and bad. At the same time, it is confirmed that the proposed methodology is an effective and low-cost tool with high potential for short-term application in previous studies and more extensive research prior to intervention.

Processus cognitifs d’ordre supérieur mobilisés lors de la résolution de problèmes complexes de conception en génie par les personnes étudiantes de premier cycle
Authors: Kozanitis Anastassis
Published: May 2024

Les défis associés au monde de l’ingénierie sont complexes et en évolution rapide. Ils nécessitent la capacité de mobilisation de processus cognitifs d’ordre supérieur, comme la pensée analytique, la créativité et l’évaluation critique. C’est pourquoi la résolution de problèmes complexes de conception constitue le cœur de la formation initiale des ingénieurs au Canada. Dans ce contexte, les personnes étudiantes en génie sont confrontées à des problèmes qui exigent bien plus que la simple application de formules préétablies. Pour ce, elles sont encouragées à faire usage de processus cognitifs d'ordre supérieur, grâce notamment à une implication active lors de l’apprentissage par projet, une méthode d’enseignement privilégiée en génie. L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser les processus cognitifs mis en œuvre par les personnes étudiantes lorsqu’elles se trouvent en situation de résolution de problèmes complexes. Pour y parvenir, des entretiens d’explicitation ont été menés auprès de dix participants. Les résultats montrent que plusieurs aspects semblent être communs à l’ensemble des répondants en ce qui a trait aux opérations mentales mobilisées en début de processus de conception. Il s’agit de la considération de l’objectif et du but du projet, de la considération des connaissances préalables ou des données connues, ainsi que le repérage de solutions existantes en lien avec le projet de conception. D’autres processus cognitifs partagés par l’ensemble des répondants peuvent survenir à d’autres moments, c’est le cas pour la visualisation mentale et la capacité de se poser des questions. Certains aspects différencient les répondants, notamment la stratégie de l’essai et erreur ainsi que l’anticipation des problèmes et la prévision des conséquences des choix.
Factor retention in ordered categorical variables: Benefits and costs of polychoric correlations in eigenvalue-based testing
Authors: Brandenburg Nils
Published: May 2024

An essential step in exploratory factor analysis is to determine the optimal number of factors. The Next Eigenvalue Sufficiency Test (NEST; Achim, 2017) is a recent proposal to determine the number of factors based on significance tests of the statistical contributions of candidate factors indicated by eigenvalues of sample correlation matrices. Previous simulation studies have shown NEST to recover the optimal number of factors in simulated datasets with high accuracy. However, these studies have focused on continuous variables. The present work addresses the performance of NEST for ordinal data. It has been debated whether factor models – and thus also the optimal number of factors – for ordinal variables should be computed for Pearson correlation matrices, which are known to underestimate correlations for ordinal datasets, or for polychoric correlation matrices, which are known to be instable. The central research question is to what extent the problems associated with Pearson correlations and polychoric correlations deteriorate NEST for ordinal datasets. Implementations of NEST tailored to ordinal datasets by utilizing polychoric correlations are proposed. In a simulation, the proposed implementations were compared to the original implementation of NEST which computes Pearson correlations even for ordinal datasets. The simulation shows that substituting polychoric correlations for Pearson correlations improves the accuracy of NEST for binary variables and large sample sizes (N = 500). However, the simulation also shows that the original implementation using Pearson correlations was the most accurate implementation for Likert-type variables with four response categories when item difficulties were homogeneous.
Year-End Spending Spikes and Single Bid Procedures: An Analysis of Public Procurement in the European Economic Area
Authors: Lofaro Ryan J. , Boykin Emily A. , McCue Clifford P. , Prier Eric
Published: May 2024

There is limited research examining the presence of government year-end spending spikes (YESS) and their association with full and open competition in government contracting. Using procurement data from 31 countries in the European Economic Area from 2009 to 2018, this research assesses the relationship between YESS and non-competitive procurement procedures – operationalized as single bid procurements. Panel regression models with country and year fixed effects are used to find that, relative to earlier periods, total award values increased in the final quarter (116.6%) and month (72.6%) of the fiscal year. While significantly associated with YESS (1.82% increase in proportion of single bids in the final quarter and 0.9% increase in the final month), single bid contracting practices did not drive such spikes.

Published: May 2024

Las adherencias intrauterinas con síntomas como hipomenorrea o infertilidad se conocen con el término síndrome de Asherman. Aunque el síndrome ha sido ampliamente estudiado, falta evidencia para su prevención y tratamiento ideal. Es necesario comprender la patogénesis de las adherencias uterinas para prevenir las cicatrices intrauterinas. La adherencia de la cavidad uterina puede ocurrir debido al daño a la capa basal del endometrio causado por el legrado del útero durante un embarazo joven. Este síndrome también puede ocurrir después de una cirugía histeroscópica, embolización de la arteria o tuberculosis uterinas. La histersonografía o histerosalpingografía con contraste, menos invasiva, es útil para el diagnóstico inicial. El diagnóstico final se realizó mediante histeroscopia. En caso de oclusión completa de la cavidad uterina, se requiere una resonancia magnética. Las adherencias en la cavidad uterina se clasifican mediante diferentes sistemas de clasificación según la gravedad y la ubicación de las adherencias diagnosticadas durante la histeroscopia. Se reporta una paciente femenina de 25 años la cual acude al servicio de emergencias por presentar dolor abdominal acompañado de sangrado vaginal abundante de varias horas de evolución.

Published: May 2024

Peatland fires are a common problem requiring urgent and comprehensive action. Therefore, this research aimed to examine perceptions of farmers regarding paludiculture model in peatland restoration efforts. The methodology used was a case-study design, while sampling was carried out with a deliberate method, producing a total of 50 farmers. Data analysis was performed through tabulation followed by interpretation using Likert tables. Statistical tests were conducted with chi-square, multiple linear regression, and logistic analysis. The results showed that perceptions of farmers were in a good category, with the influencing factors being social, economic, and environmental. Efforts made by the government and academics produced significant results regarding the factors influencing perceptions to adopt paludiculture model. Adopters were divided into five categories of farmers with the largest number being the initial majority, namely 23. Chi-square analysis identified variables strongly related to perceptions of farmers, including income, production amount, and education. The decision of farmers depends on the assessment of perceptions regarding the paludiculture model. In conclusion, the paludiculture model is a solution for making informed decisions to sustain peatland and yield significant profits for farmers.

Welding is a joining method often used in industry, especially involving mild steel. Welded areas have a high probability of failure, especially if there are defects because of the welding process. Therefore, the welding area known as the Coarse Grain Heat Affected Zone (CGHAZ) needs to be given high attention. The heat input value is the main factor that shapes the microstructure changes in the CGHAZ area. This change in microstructure results in a change in the mechanical properties of the material. In this study, the effect of heat input using the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) method on the microstructure and mechanical properties of mild steel is studied. Nine different heat input values are used by setting a combination of current (50 A, 100 A and 150 A) and voltage (15 V, 20 V and 25 V). Observations in the CGHAZ area were carried out using an optical microscope (OM). The presence of Austenite, Grain Boundary Ferrite (GBF), Widmannstetter Ferrite (WF), Acicular Ferrite, Pearlite (P), Ferrite, Cementite, Upper Bainite, Lower Bainite and Martensite phases are observed in CGHAZ. Vickers hardness test and Charpy impact test were also performed to see the change in the mechanical properties of the material. It was found that the hardness and toughness values decrease with increasing heat input values. It can be concluded that a higher heat input causes a larger grain size of the microstructure in the CGHAZ part, which causes a reduction in the hardness and toughness values of the material. In addition, it also increases the probability of cracking and reduces the integrity of the overall structure.

Published: May 2024

Berthing operations in maritime transport are highly intricate and of paramount importance, particularly when dealing with hazardous materials. However, the maritime industry has witnessed significant advancements that have greatly enhanced safety and efficiency during these manoeuvres. Integration of advanced technologies, adherence to updated guidelines, and implementation of enhanced safety measures, such as utilizing breasting dolphins equipped with protective fenders, have played a pivotal role in ensuring smooth and secure berthing processes, especially in terminals dealing with hazardous cargo. This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of two prominent methods, namely the Blum method and the P-Y method, for designing mooring dolphins. Mooring dolphins are critical structures utilized for safely berthing vessels in offshore terminals, with a particular focus on handling hazardous materials. The Blum method and the P-Y method were both applied in this analysis to examine soil-pile interaction and assess the behaviour and performance of mooring piles. The results of the study demonstrate that both the Blum method and the P-Y method yielded displacements within the allowable limit of 50 centimetres, making them suitable and reliable for the design process. However, it was observed that the P-Y method provided a slightly higher penetration depth, showcasing its ability to exercise improved control over lateral pile head displacement. Additionally, the analysis revealed that the maximum bending moment obtained from the Blum method was approximately 3.6% higher compared to that obtained from the P-Y method.

Micropower generator is a micro-scale energy source that has two main components, namely a micro/mesoscale combustor and thermophotovoltaics (TPV). The micro-scale combustor is one part that functions as a combustion chamber that produces heat in micropower plants. Heptane is used as fuel, while the combustor combustion chamber with a diameter of 3.5 mm is made from duraluminium-quart glass tube. Combustion stability in the combustion chamber is influenced by several factors, such as temperature, geometry, and combustion chamber design. In order to maintain flame stability, mesh is added to the combustion chamber. One way to minimize heat loss in the combustion chamber is to add an insulating layer to the combustion chamber. This research aims to prove the role of adding an insulating layer in flame stability in mesoscale burners. It is necessary to add an appropriate insulating layer to minimize heat loss so that it remains stable in the mesoscale burner. This experimental test shows that the temperature distribution when adding an insulation layer with a thickness of 3 mm has a higher temperature on the outside compared to a thickness of 6 mm. Meanwhile, the temperature inside the combustor chamber with a thickness of 6 mm is superior to that with a thickness of 3 mm. The flame limit of the combustor with a mesh distance of 5 mm for liquid heptane fuel was successfully stable at an equivalent ratio of ɸ0.97 – 1.5 with a maximum speed of 31.7.

Published: May 2024

This paper investigates heat transfer in a horizontally oriented tubular heat exchanger through a comprehensive examination of both numerical simulations and experimental analyses. The primary focus is on copper as the material of interest, specifically examining an inner tube with a 14 mm internal diameter and 1 mm thickness, as well as an outer tube with a 29 mm external diameter and 1 mm thickness. In addition to these components, two perforated pipes with internal diameters of 11 mm and 20 mm are incorporated; contributing to an overall length of the heat exchanger measuring 281 mm. Notably, the perforation pipe features a 5 mm diameter hole on its periphery. A comprehensive assessment was conducted to appraise heat transfer and coefficients within a straightforward tubular heat exchanger. The mass flow rate of chilled water in the annular space fluctuated between 0.01 kg/sec and 0.11 kg/sec, while the steady flow rate of hot water within the inner tube remained constant at 0.11 kg/sec. Inlet temperatures for the hot water were established at 55 °C, 75 °C, and 85 °C, with the cold water maintaining a consistent inlet temperature of 29 °C throughout the experiment.
Numerical Simulation on the Spray Angle of the Dual-layer Hole Nozzle in a Partition Combustion System of the Diesel Engine
Authors: Lu Hongkun  , Muhamad Mat Noor  , Li Li  , Kumaran Kadirgama
Published: May 2024

To study the effect of the spray angles of the dual-layer hole nozzle on the combustion and emissions performance in the partition combustion system, the in-cylinder spray, mixture formation and combustion processes of the new combustion system were simulated and investigated using AVL FIRE software. The results show that, compared with the variation of the lower-layer spray angles, the change of the upper-layer spray angles has a great influence on the instantaneous heat release rate. The increasing spray angles of the lower-layer holes lead to reduced peak values of the heat release rate in the cylinder. In all the spray angle cases, the first fire area of the cylinder is in the B zone of the combustion chamber. Compared with lower-layer spray angle, the upper-layer spray angle has a greater impact on the airflow disturbance in the combustion chamber. Appropriately increasing the upper-layer spray angle facilitates the mixing of fuel and air in the combustion chamber and reduces the unburnt fuel equivalence ratio. When the spray angles of the upper- and lower-layer holes are 157° and 112°, respectively, the combustion indicates power has the largest value of 12.18 kW. At the same time, the Soot emission is also the smallest, with a value of 0.52 g/kW·h.

On trouvera ici une suite au débat qui opposa Conrad Stein à Jacques Lacan en juin 1966 dans le prolongement de mon livre Rester freudien avec Lacan . Trois concepts en furent l’enjeu : le statut de la régression dans la cure, le concept de narcissisme primaire et le statut de la parole du psychanalyste. En dépit du voile de silence maintenu par Lacan et par Stein, leur correspondance de 1971 lors de la publication de L’Enfant imaginaire ainsi que les propos tenus par Stein lors de trois journées d’étude consacrées à Lacan après sa mort découvrent le détail de deux conceptions différentes de la cure, telles qu’initiées par la lecture que chacun fit de Freud.

Les catégories de l’affect et de la représentation peuvent, doivent se confondre avant de pouvoir in fine se différencier l’une de l’autre. Ce “va, vient et revient” est le mouvement même de psyché et celui de la cure et, plus encore, celui de la cure avec ce patient. Les représentations infantiles trop violemment refoulées sont abolies au point de disparaître apparemment définitivement, ne laissant comme traces illisibles seulement quelques figures archaïques, lointaines de lignes verticales, obliques ou spiralaires avec l’affect de déréliction qui les accompagnait originairement. Il est intéressant et précieux de voir comment l’écoute analytique, les constructions silencieuses de l’analyste, l’incompréhension temporaire qu’il lui est essentiel de savoir supporter, ont permis à ce patient de faire réapparaître les images centrales de l’affect : la mère, fichu au vent sous la pluie, précédant l’apparition de la musique de la parole maternelle parlant aux animaux et débouchant sur une remémoration puissante de Charlie Chaplin avec le retour de la prééminence de la parole. Il s’agit encore, dans cet écrit, du partage d’un processus analytique, d’un travail intérieur que l’on peut désigner comme « une remémoration à deux » où analysant et analyste peuvent et doivent se confondre avant de se réinventer.
Le blocus au cours de l’histoire : pratiques et débats autour d’un pari stratégique
Authors: Lenormand Quentin
Published: May 2024

Le blocus est une méthode de guerre ancienne, qui n’a toutefois pas été employée de manière continue au cours de l’histoire. En effet, son usage dépend de facteurs géographiques, politiques et techniques divers et multiples. Adapté à la logique des cités méditerranéennes de l’Antiquité, le blocus disparaît au cours de l’époque médiévale, avant de connaître une renaissance à l’époque moderne. Les évolutions technologiques, ainsi que la compétition coloniale entre les grandes puissances européennes entraînent alors un recours fréquent au blocus au XIX e siècle, qui culmine ensuite au cours des deux conflits mondiaux. La fréquente utilisation du blocus, notamment par l’Empire britannique, est dès lors dénoncée comme un abus de pouvoir par ses compétiteurs. C’est la raison pour laquelle un certain nombre de débats visant à sa régulation émergent dès le XVI e siècle, en vue de son encadrement juridique, notamment par le droit des conflits armés.

Published: May 2024

Introduction : L’objectif de cette étude était d’analyser le taux de mise en œuvre des programmes de récupération améliorée en chirurgie (RAC) selon le secteur d’hospitalisation. Méthodes : Il s’agit d’une étude longitudinale rétrospective à partir des séjours hospitaliers entre mars et décembre 2019. Nous avons étudié treize des segments d’activité les plus fréquemment inclus dans un protocole RAC. Le critère d’évaluation principal est le taux de RAC. Les résultats ont été analysés d’abord globalement puis en appariant les séjours RAC aux séjours non-RAC selon le type d’établissement, l’âge, le sexe, le mois de sortie, le niveau de sévérité, et le score de comorbidité de Charlson. Résultats : 420 031 séjours ont été pris en compte dont 78 119 ont été codés en RAC. 62 403 ont été appariés avec des séjours non-RAC. Le taux d’implémentation variait de 5 % à 30 %. Le taux de RAC était plus élevé dans le secteur privé (21,2 %) que dans le secteur public (14,4 %). Les résultats sont inversés pour certaines chirurgies principalement oncologiques. Les patients avaient un score de Charlson plus élevé dans le secteur public. Conclusions : Cette étude nationale à grande échelle permet de dresser un tableau du niveau de diffusion de la RAC en France. Malgré des différences entre secteurs, cette diffusion reste globalement insuffisante. Compte tenu des avantages démontrés de la RAC, davantage d’efforts pédagogiques sont nécessaires pour améliorer leur mise en œuvre en France.

Introduction: Pakistan is the second country in the world with a high prevalence of hepatitis C. The Musafir study, set up in 2018 to understand the representations of hepatitis and HIV within the Urdu-speaking male community with a migration background, had provided an opportunity to think about culturally acceptable health promotion interventions. These included awareness campaigns on hepatitis - without the question of HIV, which was considered too taboo - in a mosque. Purpose of research: The aim of this article is to describe the implementation of awareness and testing campaigns within a Pakistani religious and cultural association. Method: A partnership with a Pakistani association that runs a place of worship enabled awareness and testing campaigns for hepatitis and HIV to be carried out, thanks to the involvement of the association’s managers and the imam. Results: Between February and June 2023, 113 people were tested during the five campaigns that were carried out. The population screened consisted almost exclusively of Urdu-speaking men. Anti-HCV antibodies were found in six people, three of whom had already recovered, and two people were tested positive for HBV. No case of HIV was detected. Conclusions: The prevalence of hepatitis C found was 5.3%, in line with the prevalence in Pakistan. This experiment highlighted the feasibility of a partnership with a faith-based organization and offers ideas for developing this type of initiative in France.

Math Anxiety
Authors: Bortnick Linda
Published: May 2024

Teachers require ongoing professional development throughout their careers to learn and grow in instructional practices in order to best meet the needs of all students. In this chapter, math anxiety is addressed in terms of those professional development needs. Instead of providing support in the use of a specific program or curriculum, ideas for school and district leaders who provide such professional development are described in terms of easing the phenomenon of math anxiety, a common fear of math that can hinder one's ability to provide quality instruction in the content. People who experience math anxiety often avoid the subject to alleviate the negative feelings, which is detrimental to the ability to effectively teach mathematical concepts.
Teacher Leadership in K-12 Schools
Authors: Kenny Christine
Published: May 2024

The role of the teacher leader needs to be implemented in the school leadership structure to address the demands current roles in education cannot address themselves. This chapter will provide a solution to a current problem in education; educators, especially school principals, do not have time nor resources to fulfill demands that are brought to education in the 21st century. Using current literature analyzing the current school leadership structure, the role of the principal, the distributed leadership theory, and teacher leadership, it is clear that a structure implementing teacher leadership into education is necessary. However, there is a gap in current research on how to properly implement teacher leadership in education, and there are discrepancies on what teacher leadership responsibilities are. Defining what a teacher leader is and outlining the responsibilities for the role, this chapter will show that with the proper application of teacher leadership in a refurbished school leadership structure, success will occur for students and educators.

Machine learning (ML), coined by Arthur Samuel in 1959, is now a versatile tool in various fields like data mining, computer vision, and medical diagnosis. It builds models from training data for predictions without explicit programming. Deep learning (DL), a subset of machine learning, utilizes neural networks like DNN, CNN, and RNN. In health and safety research, ML applications started in the mid-1990s, focusing on toxicity. Challenges in chemical health and safety research, such as primitive algorithms and skill requirements, limited its early use. Recent advancements in AI and computer science have highlighted the significance of ML and DL. Improved data, computing power, and algorithms have led to autonomous data analyses, transforming solutions in structural engineering (MPSE). In integrated computational materials engineering (ICME), ML and AI are assimilated into efforts like the materials genome initiative (MGI), accelerating autonomous experiments and improving data analytics.
