An Analogue of Thébault's Theorem Linking the Radical Center of Four Spheres with the Insphere and the Monge Point of a Tetrahedron
Authors: Herrera Blas , Tran Quang Hung
Published: April 2022

In 1953, Victor Thébault conjectured a link between the altitudes of a tetrahedron and the radical center of the four spheres with the centers at the vertices of this tetrahedron and the corresponding tetrahedron altitudes as radii. This conjecture was proved in 2015. In this paper, we propose an analogue of Th\'{e}bault's theorem. We establish a link between the radical center of the four spheres, the insphere, and the Monge point of a tetrahedron.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF GOD’S PRONOUNS “I”, “HE”, AND “WE” IN (IN)DIRECT SPEECHES IN HOLY QURAN
Authors: Setiyono Junaedi
Published: April 2022

The problems are the fact that We, I, and He are all used to represent God in the Holy Quran translated in English, the fact that You does not always refer to the Prophet, and the possibility to use the Direct and Indirect speeches to answer the problems having mentioned. The problems arise because the researcher was informed that the only human being who God speaks directly to him is Moses. Thus, in the Holy Quran, there should not be found We or I because We or I implies that God speaks directly to the Prophet. After the researcher investigates one the longest sura namely Baqara or the Heifer, he finds that the third singular pronoun for God He with all of its derivations (Him and His) appears 85 times, the first plural pronoun for God We with all of its derivations (Our, Ours, and Us) appears 19 times.
THE EXISTENCE OF WOMEN’S LANGUAGE FEATURES IN MEN AND WOMEN INTERACTION IN THE ELLEN SHOW
Authors: Ningsih Yohana Dian Rahayu
Published: April 2022

Well… has been considered as a linguistic hedging device and classified as “women’s language”. There are some phrases that are considered as “women’s language” but they are performed by men. This paper aims to investigate and examine the occurrences of women’s language feature in man and woman’s conversation in The Ellen Show. The data were gathered from the talk show video on YouTube uploaded by TheEllenShow Channel and the title of the video is “Snoop Dogg on Staying at Martha Stewart’s House and Teaching Ellen a New Word”. They were then collected, analyzed and categorized according to the features they show in the video. Findings indicate that women’s language features are performed not only by the woman but also by the man. The women’s language features that are performed by the man are mainly the lexical hedges. Meanwhile, the others that are performed by woman are the lexical hedges, tag question, intensifiers, and emphatic stress. This study hopes that the findings will give new insights about the woman’s language features existed in oral production or conversation between men and woman.
THE USE OF ACADEMIC VOCABULARY ACROSS PROFICIENCY LEVELS: A STUDY OF EFL STUDENTS’ LEXICAL PERFORMANCE IN UNIVERSITY WRITING
Authors: Budiartha Christianus I Wayan Eka
Published: April 2022

This study aims to investigate EFL students’ performance in recognizing and using academic vocabulary across three different proficiency levels of English, i.e., elementary, intermediate and advanced. A quantitative approach was employed with a cross-sectional design to examine the difference and the correlation between the two variables and 150 subjects from a private university in Jakarta, some interesting results were uncovered in this study. First, there was a significant difference in overall calculation of students’ academic vocabulary across proficiency levels, even though such a difference does not appear between intermediate and advanced level. Second, the overall calculation shows that there was a significant correlation between students’ academic vocabulary and their proficiency levels with Sig. 0.249, but surprisingly, a more detail calculation did not present any correlation at all between the variables. These results confirm that the gap among proficiency levels was not big, as majority of the students were in intermediate level of their English competence. Even though the students could perform academic vocabulary in university writing; however, almost all of them were not aware with the existence of the words, especially because the words belong to the low frequency band.

GENDER REPRESENTATIONS IN INDONESIAN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING (ELT) TEXTBOOK TITLED “BAHASA INGGRIS UNTUK SMA/MA/SMK/MAK KELAS X”
Authors: Ramadani Rizqoh Fadila , Novianti Maria
Published: April 2022

AbstractGender inequality issues are issues that are still often found in daily life. Evidently, the issues do not only happen in the action of real-life but previous researches have also discovered that gender inequality does exist in textbooks in the form of how genders are being represented unequally. With this gender representations issue emerging, this research aims to identify and analyze the gender representations in the ELT textbook titled “Bahasa Inggris Untuk SMA/MA/SMK/MAK Kelas X”. It is important to know if the genders are being represented equally because the books which exclude one or more gender can affect its readers and or users. To reach the goal stated this research used a qualitative method with a content analysis approach. The analysis of the data which was taken both from the texts as well as from the illustrations shows that there are many characteristics that only represent a specific gender and not the others. From the occupational activities that are only explored often by men, to domestic items that are attached to women. It can be concluded that the BI textbook has not represented genders equally. Some genders are stillexcluded in several activities, attributes, and designations.

Authors: Wijaya Kristian Florensio
Published: April 2022

Abstract

Inculcating a higher degree of metacognitive awareness in the presence of academic writing learning scope is a crucial matter for globalized ELT educationalists since learners can regulate their learning objectives, behavior, motivation, and endeavor for a better purpose. Specifically, this present qualitative study aimed to further investigate English Education Master Students’ metacognitive awareness in academic writing learning enterprises accompanied with the support of 10 narrative written interview inquiries asking about the significance of metacognitive awareness in their academic writing learning activities. Two English Education Master Students batch 2018 and 2020 from Sanata Dharma University were invited to take part in this study. Based on the obtained findings, these two participants concurred that a higher degree of metacognitive awareness gradually transformed them into more persistent and goal-oriented academic writers. In line with those aforementioned findings, it is worthwhile to be recommended for worldwide educators to continually nurture the robust development of graduate EFL learners’ metacognitive awareness to provide more long-lasting holistic academic writing learning values for their future career occurrences.

NAVIGATING TEACHING DURING PANDEMIC: THE USE OF DISCUSSION FORUM IN BUSINESS ENGLISH WRITING CLASS
Authors: Cendra Anastasia Nelladia , Sulindra Eric
Published: April 2022

To response the spread of Covid-19, almost all offline education institutes are shut down and e-learning is conducted almost abruptly, including in a Business English writing class for university students. The discussion forum in the LMS ‘Moodle’ is used a lot to help the discussion of this class alive. To widen the knowledge of the use of discussion forum, especially during an emergency time like this Covid-19 pandemic, this qualitative descriptive qualitative research aims to explore how discussion forum is used in the LMS ‘Moodle’ for university students in e-learning during a pandemic, especially concerning optimization of the questions, the arrangement of the topics of discussion, and the assignments. By analyzing the patterns of how the discussion forum is used and interviewing the students, this research found that what determines the student's response to the discussion in the forum is the question words and the key words in the discussion sentences in the forum. These two things will determine students’ answers in terms of the key words used by students, the length and shortness of student answers, and the type and depth of student answers, which in turn show how students interact in the discussion forum.
A Textile Manufacturing Information System with Exponential Smoothing Method
Authors: Xi Cheng , Xiong Bin , Ye Yan Shan , He Huang Mei , Zhang Ni Ping , Lee Zne-Jung
Published: April 2022

The traditional textile industry is characterized by a discrete production pattern, because the manufacturing workshop and equipment are quite old, and the level of information construction is low. To assist textile enterprises in improving the construction of informatization, the utilization of production data, and production management efficiency, the textile manufacturing information system must strengthen data integration. In this paper, a textile manufacturing information system with the exponential smoothing method is proposed. The proposed textile manufacturing information system is to assist managers in making decisions, analyzing data, and providing a convenient platform for sharing information. It uses MySQL and MongoDB dual databases as data storage and uses Apache servers as web services. The front end uses Echarts technology to complete the data visualization. According to the shortcomings in its production management process, the following modules are designed around the needs of the enterprise: production management, equipment management, employee management, statistical information, and basic information maintenance. It also connects with the front-end data acquisition system and presents the data in a visual form to achieve real-time data monitoring of production. Furthermore, the proposed information system uses a single exponential smoothing method to predict production. From the experimental results, the single exponential smoothing method can well predict the trend of textile production output in a short term, and the results are more accurate than other approaches.
MODERN PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES TO INCREASING THE SHOOTING READINESS OF THE EMPLOYEES OF THE FEDERAL PENALTY SERVICE IN RUSSIA
Authors:   Samara Law Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, Asafiev M.I. , Kaznazcheev V.A.
Published: April 2022

The article reveals the relevance of the modern approach to improving the shooting preparedness of employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. An analysis was made of such a concept as “preparedness”, which is closely related to the term “preparation”. Preparedness is characterized as a general theoretical basis of professional activity, as well as shooting preparedness of employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service, as a necessary requirement for their professional development. The value of shooting preparedness for the performance of official duties by an employee of the Federal Penitentiary Service is determined. We also analyzed practical situations in which it is necessary to mobilize the physical and moral qualities of an employee of the penitentiary system. The important issue of conducting fire training classes, taking into account gender differences, is considered, since women have negative factors affecting shooting: background anxiety, neuropsychic vulnerability, emotionality. This topic is especially important, because every year more and more women enter the service in the penitentiary system. We also noted that shooting preparedness implies the presence of a stock of both theoretical and practical knowledge, skills, as well as experience in handling weapons and using them, if necessary, in the performance of an employee's duties. We have indicated and analyzed the guiding legal acts relating to this topic. The problems in this area that need to be solved in order to increase the fruitfulness and quality of the work of the Federal Penitentiary Service are considered. Taking into account modern approaches, proposals have been made to improve shooting readiness.
THE THEME OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR IN RUSSIAN AND FOREIGN PROSE: THE PROBLEM OF TEACHING MODERN FOREIGN LITERATURE IN LINE WITH THE PATRIOTIC EDUCATION OF YOUTH
Authors:   Samara State Social and Pedagogical University, Radaeva E.A.
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the problem of interpreting the events of the Second World War in modern foreign literature (namely: the role of the USSR in the Victory over fascism is hushed up, the emphasis is placed exclusively on the genocide of Jews during the war, but not Soviet citizens in general), questions of teaching discipline to philology students. The material was mainly the novel by M. Zusak "The Book Thief", as well as the prose of P. Modiano, B. Schlink. The author comes to the conclusion that the basis of patriotic education, which is emphasized by the current state policy not only in secondary, but also in higher education, in classes on the history of foreign literature, should, firstly, be the formula: patriotism is love for one's country rather than hatred for a stranger. Secondly, it is advisable to teach foreign literature (including modern) in the context of Russian-foreign relations, as well as through the prism of a comparative analysis of the works of domestic and foreign authors, using a problematic approach, which will also contribute to critical (analytical) thinking. As for the practical application of the research results, it is advisable for language students to develop a colloquium (6 academic hours) on the topic “The theme of the Second World War in Russian and foreign prose”, involving material from both domestic and foreign prose.

Thinking thrice about sum scores, and then some more about measurement and analysis
Authors: Widaman Keith F. , Revelle William
Published: April 2022

Measurement is fundamental to all research in psychology and should be accorded greater scrutiny than typically occurs. Among other claims, McNeish and Wolf (Thinking twice about sum scores. Behavior Research Methods, 52, 2287-2305) argued that use of sum scores (a) implies that a highly constrained latent variable model underlies items comprising a scale, and (b) may misrepresent or bias relations with other criteria. The central claim by McNeish and Wolf that use of sum scores requires the assumption that a parallel test model underlies item responses is incorrect and without psychometric merit. Instead, if a set of items is unidimensional, estimators of reliability are available even if the factor model underlying the set of items does not have a highly constrained form. Thus, dimensionality of a set of items is the key issue, and whether strict constraints on parameter estimates do or do not hold dictate the appropriate way to estimate reliability. McNeish and Wolf also claimed that more precise forms of scoring, such as estimating factor scores, would be preferable to sum scores. We provide analytic bases for reliability estimation and then provide several demonstrations of reliability estimation and the relative advantages of sum scores and factor scores. We contend that several claims by McNeish and Wolf are questionable and that, as a result, multiple recommendations they made and conclusions they drew are incorrect. The upshot is that, once the dimensional structure of a set of items is verified, sum scores often have a solid psychometric basis and therefore are frequently quite adequate for psychological research.

Published: April 2022

Postoperative pain is a prevalent experience in persons hospitalised in surgical institutions. Therefore, controlling and decreasing it are one of the aims of nursing. A total of 86 Nurses participated in the study of which 78 of them were females and 8 men. Pain management training programmes both boosted the knowledge and modified the attitudes of nurses regarding pain treatment and control. The proportion of surgical treatments conducted is expanding globally. There is a difficulty of successfully treating Postoperative Pain (POP) because of the growth in the number of surgical procedures undertaken. POP management is a significant role of all healthcare personnel, but nurses in particular. This is because the nurses are the frontlines for the patient care. So that, understanding the nurses degree of practice towards POP treatment and related components is a vital and major concerns to strengthen the recovery of the patients from their pain sooner. However the practice of POP treatment and related variables among nurses working in a surgical track in the research region is unclear.

Published: April 2022

The aim of reproductive and child health program of government of India is to get a healthy child from a healthy mother. The woman is considered as one of the most essential factors for the continuity of the human race. Garbhini paricharya (Antenatal Care) means all round care of the pregnant women. According to modern science, antenatal care is a systemic supervision of the pregnant women. It should be started from confirmation of pregnancy to the delivery. During Garbhavastha (pregnancy), she experiences lots of anatomical as well as physiological changes at the level of Dosha (body humors), Dhatu (Body tissues) and Mala (body waste products). During pregnancy women experiences features like edema, pallor, heartburn, vomiting, constipation, weakness, increase in weight and abdominal fundal height, etc such changes though physiological may turn in to pathology, so prevention of these must so she has to take a range of medicine. These changes are nothing but maternal adaptation to the increasing demand of the growing foetus. The Growth and development of foetus requires more nutrition from mother. This causes increased workload on the maternal Dhatus (Body tissues), so she needs extra nutrition during Garbhavastha (Pregnancy). Now a days due to change in life style i.e. sedentary and increased stress, strain due to this has increased incidence of pregnancy complications, abnormal labor that leads to surgical incidence in conducting delivery. Aim of Garbhini paricharya (Antenatal care) is to develop all the Dhatus (Body tissues) of the pregnant women and foetus and decreases adverse outcome of pregnancy. Ancient Indian physicians were very much aware of this fact and various diet recipes and regimens have elaborately mentioned in our Samhitas (Ayurvedic Texts) under the heading of Garbhini paricharya (Anti natal care). According to all acharyas the commonly used drugs in garbhini paricharya (Antenatal care) are brumhana (nourishing), Madhura (sweet), Snigdha (unctuous) these drugs help in achieving the good health, energy, strength, complexion of the child. Ayurveda has suggested a very good protocol Masanumasika Garbhini Paricharya (month wise antenatal care) i.e. Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), Vichara (psychological aspect) to be followed during pregnancy with respect to each month. This article describes an Ayurveda perspective of Ahara- Vihara (Diet and Regimen) W.S.R to Masanumasika Garbini Paricharya (month wise antenatal care).
Global Poverty and the Politics of Redistribution: An Institutional Approach
Authors: Kumar Santosh
Published: April 2022

The politics and ethics of redistribution has been the primary issue of concern in the contemporary political theory, especially in the cosmopolitan traditions. Liberal cosmopolitans consider it one of the necessary measures/methods to bring in global equality and addressing some specific issue of global moral concerns like global poverty, climate change etc. But within cosmopolitan traditions there is no consensus about the framework of distribution or redistribution and another issue of debate is around the plausibility of the framework or model. The proposed paper is a humble attempt to explore the possibilities of an institutional design to alleviate global poverty through redistribution?
The Impact of Adopting Hybrid Strategies in Determining the Marketing Orientation, An Exploratory Study in a sample of Hotels in the Holy Cities of Karbala and Najaf

The aim of the research is to build an integrated structure of philosophical knowledge frameworks for the main and subsidiary variables of the study based on tracing the intellectual and conceptual paths and delving into the intellectual controversy raised around them by researchers in an attempt to find the scientific bases for the formation of these variables in order to facilitate determining the extent of the role that they can play to solve the main study problem and its questions Moreover, the research aims to determine the relationships of correlation and influence between the two variables, The research problem crystallizes in the following question (What is the nature of the theoretical relationship between hybrid strategies and marketing orientation? Within the work environment of tourism and hotel organizations?) The study sample included (124) views from among the departments operating in the hotels of the holy cities of Karbala and Najaf. One of the most important conclusions of the research is that the surveyed hotels relied on hybridization of the strategy adopted in close proportions for each of the cost leadership strategy, followed by the innovation-based differentiation strategy for most hotels, and the reliance was less on the marketing differentiation strategy, and this indicates their interest in the overall cost structure in service delivery operations and the optimal exploitation of process capabilities. Productivity in hotels, and one of the most prominent recommendations of the research is the need for hotels to adopt high-level mechanisms for the purpose of coordination between departments and people in order to benefit from the exchange of all private information about customers, and work to provide hotel services of high quality according to the exact needs of customers, as this is part of The culture of the organization, as well as the need for the organization to work on strengthening its external relations and increasing its dealings with external offices and external agents, and selecting them according to special advantages in order to improve the reality of services more

The Mystical Political: Reclaiming the Spectacle of the Vision in Vicente Aranda’s Libertarias (1996) and Azucena Rodríguez’s Entre rojas (1995)
Authors: FARRELLY MARY
Published: April 2022

This article examines the spectacle of the mystical vision in two Spanish films from the mid-1990s, Vicente Aranda’s Libertarias (1996) and Azucena Rodríguez’s Entre rojas (1995). I explore how the films invoke the visual and vocal codes of the mystical vision at key moments in the narrative to positively structure communities of women. Drawing on classic feminist film theory, Michel de Certeau’s interdisciplinary analysis of early modern mysticism, and Jean Luc Nancy’s concept of the inoperable community, this study demonstrates how the mystic’s performance of extrasensory communication, so familiar to Spanish audiences through centuries of religious practice and cultural production, can challenge conventional visual and auditory regimes and model new ways for diverse groups to coexist.

Originality/Value – an attempt was made to fill in the scientific literature gaps and find out what factors influence the most FinTech sector development in Lithuania and how this sector might grow in the future.
Oxygen-enhanced Extremely Metal-poor Damped Lyα Systems: A Signpost of the First Stars?
Authors: Welsh Louise , Cooke Ryan , Fumagalli Michele , Pettini Max
Published: April 2022

We present precise abundance determinations of two near-pristine damped Lyα systems (DLAs) to assess the nature of the [O/Fe] ratio at [Fe/H] < −3.0 (i.e., <1/1000 of the solar metallicity). Prior observations indicate that the [O/Fe] ratio is consistent with a constant value, [O/Fe] ≃ +0.4, when −3 < [Fe/H] < −2, but this ratio may increase when [Fe/H] ≲ −3. In this paper, we test this picture by reporting new, high-precision [O/Fe] abundances in two of the most metal-poor DLAs currently known. We derive values of [O/Fe] = +0.50 ± 0.10 and [O/Fe] = +0.62 ± 0.05 for these two z ≃ 3 near-pristine gas clouds. These results strengthen the idea that the [O/Fe] abundances of the most metal-poor DLAs are elevated compared to DLAs with [Fe/H] ≳ −3. We compare the observed abundance pattern of the latter system to the nucleosynthetic yields of Population III supernovae (SNe), and find that the enrichment can be described by a (19–25) M⊙ Population III SN that underwent a (0.9–2.4) × 1051 erg explosion. These high-precision measurements showcase the behavior of [O/Fe] in the most metal-poor environments. Future high-precision measurements in new systems will contribute to a firm detection of the relationship between [O/Fe] and [Fe/H]. These data will reveal whether we are witnessing a chemical signature of enrichment from Population III stars and allow us to rule out contamination from Population II stars.
The Transformation of Centaurs into Jupiter-family Comets
Authors: Wood Jeremy , Hinse Tobias C.
Published: April 2022

Centaurs are an ephemeral class of objects that can evolve into Jupiter-family comets (or JFCs) due to gravitational perturbations from the giant planets. In this work, we use numerical integration of massless test particles in the six-body problem (the Sun, four giant planets, and a test particle) to study the transformation of Centaurs into JFCs. We find that Centaurs can transform into JFCs via a rapid, continuous drop in perihelion or aphelion distance to a value below 5.2 au or 7 au, respectively, typically within 5 yr from the start of the drop. We call these JFC perihelion drops and JFC aphelion drops, respectively. These drops are correlated with close approaches to Jupiter. For such perihelion and aphelion drops, the maximum possible fractional change in the associated perihelion or aphelion distance increases with decreasing close-approach distance to Jupiter. A perihelion barrier may exist at 6.3 au. If so, then it must be crossed from above in order for a Centaur to transform into a JFC due to a single close approach to Jupiter. Currently, 93 (or 11%) of the known Centaurs have a perihelion distance, q, below 6.3 au. If the inclination of the orbit of the Centaur to the ecliptic plane is above 10.°2, then orbits with q > 6.3 au and 2 < T

J
< 3 can exist, where T

J
is the Tisserand parameter with respect to Jupiter. Small bodies in such orbits could be classified as either Centaurs or JFCs.
After The Fall: Resolving the Molecular Gas in Post-starburst Galaxies

Post-starburst (PSB), or “E + A,” galaxies represent a rapid transitional phase between major, gas-rich mergers and gas-poor, quiescent, early-type galaxies. Surprisingly, many PSBs have been shown to host a significant interstellar medium (ISM), despite theoretical predictions that the majority of the star-forming gas should be expelled in active galactic nuclei– or starburst-driven outflows. To date, the resolved properties of this surviving ISM have remained unknown. We present high-resolution ALMA continuum and CO(2–1) observations in six gas- and dust-rich PSBs, revealing for the first time the spatial and kinematic structure of their ISM on sub-kpc scales. We find extremely compact molecular reservoirs, with dust and gas surface densities rivaling those found in (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies. We observe spatial and kinematic disturbances in all sources, with some also displaying disk-like kinematics. Estimates of the internal turbulent pressure in the gas exceed those of normal star-forming disks by at least 2 orders of magnitude, and rival the turbulent gas found in local interacting galaxies, such as the Antennae. Though the source of this high turbulent pressure remains uncertain, we suggest that the high incidence of tidal disruption events in PSBs could play a role. The star formation in these PSBs’ turbulent central molecular reservoirs is suppressed, forming stars only 10% as efficiently as starburst galaxies with similar gas surface densities. “The fall” of star formation in these galaxies was not precipitated by complete gas expulsion or redistribution. Rather, this high-resolution view of PSBs’ ISM indicates that star formation in their remaining compact gas reservoirs is suppressed by significant turbulent heating.

Numerous observational evidence has suggested the presence of active meteorology in the atmospheres of brown dwarfs. A near-infrared brightness variability has been observed. Clouds have a major role in shaping the thermal structure and spectral properties of these atmospheres. The mechanism of such variability is still unclear, and neither 1D nor global circulation models can fully study this topic due to resolution. In this study, a convective-resolving model is coupled to gray-band radiative transfer in order to study the coupling between the convective atmosphere and the variability of clouds over a large temperature range with a domain of several hundred kilometers. Six types of clouds are considered, with microphysics including settling. The clouds are radiatively active through the Rosseland mean coefficient. Radiative cloud feedback can drive spontaneous atmospheric variability in both temperature and cloud structure, as modeled for the first time in three dimensions. Silicate clouds have the most effect on the thermal structure with the generation of a secondary convective layer in some cases, depending on the assumed particle size. Iron and aluminum clouds also have a substantial impact on the atmosphere. Thermal spectra were computed, and we find the strongest effect of the clouds is the smoothing of spectral features at optical wavelengths. Compared to observed L and T dwarfs on the color–magnitude diagram, the simulated atmospheres are redder for most of the cases. Simulations with the presence of cloud holes are closer to observations.

We report Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origins Spectrograph spectroscopy of 10 quasars with foreground star-forming galaxies at 0.02 < z < 0.14 within impact parameters of ∼1–7 kpc. We detect damped/sub-damped Lyα (DLA/sub-DLA) absorption in 100% of cases where no higher-redshift Lyman-limit systems extinguish the flux at the expected wavelength of Lyα absorption, obtaining the largest targeted sample of DLA/sub-DLAs in low-redshift galaxies. We present absorption measurements of neutral hydrogen and metals. Additionally, we present Green Bank Telescope 21 cm emission measurements for five of the galaxies (including two detections). Combining our sample with the literature, we construct a sample of 117 galaxies associated with DLA/sub-DLAs spanning 0 < z < 4.4, and examine trends between gas and stellar properties, and with redshift. The H i column density is anticorrelated with impact parameter and stellar mass. More massive galaxies appear to have gas-rich regions out to larger distances. The specific star formation rate (sSFR) of absorbing galaxies increases with redshift and decreases with M*, consistent with evolution of the star formation main sequence (SFMS). However, ∼20% of absorbing galaxies lie below the SFMS, indicating that some DLA/sub-DLAs trace galaxies with longer-than-typical gas-depletion timescales. Most DLA/sub-DLA galaxies with 21 cm emission have higher H i masses than typical galaxies with comparable M*. High M

Our study demonstrates the power of absorption and emission studies of DLA/sub-DLA galaxies for extending galactic evolution studies to previously under-explored regimes of low M* and low SFR.

Atmospheric retrieval determines the properties of an atmosphere based on its measured spectrum. The low signal-to-noise ratios of exoplanet observations require a Bayesian approach to determine posterior probability distributions of each model parameter, given observed spectra. This inference is computationally expensive, as it requires many executions of a costly radiative transfer (RT) simulation for each set of sampled model parameters. Machine learning (ML) has recently been shown to provide a significant reduction in runtime for retrievals, mainly by training inverse ML models that predict parameter distributions, given observed spectra, albeit with reduced posterior accuracy. Here we present a novel approach to retrieval by training a forward ML surrogate model that predicts spectra given model parameters, providing a fast approximate RT simulation that can be used in a conventional Bayesian retrieval framework without significant loss of accuracy. We demonstrate our method on the emission spectrum of HD 189733 b and find good agreement with a traditional retrieval from the Bayesian Atmospheric Radiative Transfer (BART) code (Bhattacharyya coefficients of 0.9843–0.9972, with a mean of 0.9925, between 1D marginalized posteriors). This accuracy comes while still offering significant speed enhancements over traditional RT, albeit not as much as ML methods with lower posterior accuracy. Our method is ∼9× faster per parallel chain than BART when run on an AMD EPYC 7402P central processing unit (CPU). Neural-network computation using an NVIDIA Titan Xp graphics processing unit is 90×–180× faster per chain than BART on that CPU.

Published: April 2022

In this article, we extract stochastic solutions for the perturbed chiral nonlinear Schrödinger equation (PCNLSE) forced by multiplicative noise in Itô sense with the aid of exp$ [-\varphi(\xi)] $-expansion and unified solver methods. The PCNLSE meditate on the quantum behaviour, like quantum features are closely related to its particular features. The proposed techniques introduce the closed form structure of waves in explicit form. The behaviour of the gained solutions are of qualitatively different nature, based on the physical parameters. The acquired solutions are extremely viable in nonlinear optics, superfluid, plasma physics, electromagnetism, nuclear physics, industrial studies and in many other applied sciences. We also illustrate the profile pictures of some acquired solutions to show the physical dynamical representation of them, utilizing Matlab release. The proposed techniques in this article can be implemented to other complex equations arising in applied sciences.

Published: April 2022

Defining new fractional operators and employing them to establish well-known integral inequalities has been the recent trend in the theory of mathematical inequalities. To take a step forward, we present novel versions of Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for a new fractional operator, which generalizes some well-known fractional integral operators. Moreover, a midpoint type fractional integral identity is derived for differentiable mappings, whose absolute value of the first-order derivatives are convex functions. Moreover, considering this identity as an auxiliary result, several improved inequalities are derived using some fundamental inequalities such as Hölder-İşcan, Jensen and Young inequality. Also, if we take the parameter $ \rho = 1 $ in most of the results, we derive new results for Atangana-Baleanu equivalence. One example related to matrices is also given as an application.
Hyers-Ulam-Rassias-Kummer stability of the fractional integro-differential equations
Authors: Eidinejad Zahra , Saadati Reza
Published: April 2022

In this paper, using the fractional integral with respect to the $ \Psi $ function and the $ \Psi $-Hilfer fractional derivative, we consider the Volterra fractional equations. Considering the Gauss Hypergeometric function as a control function, we introduce the concept of the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias-Kummer stability of this fractional equations and study existence, uniqueness, and an approximation for two classes of fractional Volterra integro-differential and fractional Volterra integral. We apply the Cădariu-Radu method derived from the Diaz-Margolis alternative fixed point theorem. After proving each of the main theorems, we provide an applied example of each of the results obtained.
Platform Strategy in a Technopolitical War: The Failure (and Success) of Facebook Watch
Authors: Pitre Jake
Published: April 2022

In recent years, as more corporations have decided to launch their own streaming platforms, it has become of greater importance for each to differentiate themselves through a suite of strategies intended to mark their place within the market. Facebook Watch, a video-on-demand service, is this paper’s case study, a unique example of a streaming effort undertaken by a technology company with an approach based in data collection and infrastructural might. Watch has not premiered a new scripted series since August 2020, reflecting Facebook’s abandonment of narrative seriality through series like SKAM Austin and a more pointed investment in the streaming space as an instance of what I am calling experiential seriality, meant to lead users along certain trajectories rather than building a reputation on its content. I argue that this is instead a move to compete with Alphabet Inc. (which owns YouTube) to dominate the world of online video, drawing Facebook users through links, recommendations, and other breadcrumbs to maintain continuous use.
