Case Report: A First Nation Man’s Journey with Severe Insulin Resistance Syndrome
Authors: Miller David B. , Schaefer Susan , Atkin Judith
Published: October 2023

James (a pseudonym) was born in the 1940s near Vancouver Island, British Columbia, to a Coast Salish family. His schooling was the imposed residential school system whereby Indigenous children were removed from their homes and communities and sent to schools in communities far away. His siblings attended various residential schools, so during his three years at such schools he saw them only in the summer time. His treatment during his schooling fostered a deep distrust of physicians and nurses. In addition he lost much of his native language and culture during this time. He graduated from Queen Elizabeth (High) School in North Surrey, British Columbia, where he was the only Indigenous student. James attended Vancouver Vocational School before returning to Vancouver Island to work as a band manager for his First Nation community. He married Mary (a pseudonym) and together they raised four children. Today he works as an Elder in Residence with post-secondary institutions on Vancouver Island.
Orlicz estimates for general parabolic obstacle problems with p(t,x)-growth in Reifenberg domains
Authors: Tian Hong , Zheng  Shenzhou
Published: October 2023

This article shows a global gradient estimate in the framework of Orlicz spaces for general parabolic obstacle problems with p(t,x)-Laplacian in a bounded rough domain. It is assumed that the variable exponent p(t,x) satisfies a strong log-Holder continuity, that the associated nonlinearity is measurable in the time variable and have small BMO semi-norms in the space variables, and that the boundary of the domain has Reifenberg flatness.
Existence and uniqueness for a Ginzburg-Landau system for superconductivity
Authors: Fan Jishan , Zhou  Yong
Published: October 2023

We prove the existence of a unique solution for a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model in superconductivity under the Coulomb gauge. Also we prove the uniform-in-\(\epsilon\) well-posedness of the solution, where \(\epsilon\) is the coefficient of the double-well potential energy.

Almost optimal local well-posedness for modified Boussinesq equations
Authors: Geba Dan-Andrei , Lin Bai
Published: October 2023

In this article, we investigate a class of modified Boussinesq equations, for which we provide first an alternate proof of local well-posedness in the space \((H^s\cap L^\infty)\times (H^s\cap L^\infty)(\mathbb{R})\) (\(s\geq 0\)) to the one obtained by Constantin and Molinet [7]. Secondly, we show that the associated flow map is not smooth when considered from \(H^s\times H^s(\mathbb{R})\) into \(H^s(\mathbb{R})\) for s<0, thus providing a threshold for the regularity needed to perform a Picard iteration for these equations.

Non-perturbative positivity and weak Holder continuity of Lyapunov exponent of analytic quasi-periodic Jacobi cocycles defined on a high dimension torus
Authors: Tao Kai
Published: October 2023

When analytic quasi-periodic cocycles are defined on a high dimension torus, their Lyapunov exponents have perturbative positivity and continuity. In this article, we study a class of analytic quasi-periodic Jacobi cocycles defined on a two dimension torus. We show that in the non-perturbative large coupling regimes, the Lyapunov exponent is positive for any frequency and weak Holder continuous for the full-measured frequency.

Existence of weak solutions to superlinear elliptic systems without the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition
Authors: Wang Xiaohui , Zhao Peihao
Published: October 2023

In this article, we study the existence of the weak solution for superlinear elliptic equations and systems without the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. The Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition guarantees the boundedness of the PS sequence of the functional I for the corresponding problem. We establish the existence of the weak solution for the superlinear elliptic equation by using \((PS)_c\) form of the Mountain pass lemma, and the existence of the weak solution for the superlinear elliptic system by using \((PS)_c^{*}\) form of the Linking theorem.

Traveling wave solutions for fully parabolic Keller-Segel chemotaxis systems with a logistic source
Authors: Salako Rachidi B. , Shen Wenxian
Published: October 2023

This article concerns traveling wave solutions of the fully parabolic Keller-Segel chemotaxis system with logistic source, $$\displaylines{ u_t=\Delta u -\chi\nabla\cdot(u\nabla v)+u(a-bu),\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^N,\cr \tau v_t=\Delta v-\lambda v +\mu u,\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^N, }$$ where \(\chi, \mu,\lambda,a,b\) are positive numbers, and \(\tau\ge 0\). Among others, it is proved that if \(b>2\chi\mu\) and \(\tau \geq \frac{1}{2}(1-\frac{\lambda}{a})_{+}\), then for every \(c\ge 2\sqrt{a}\), this system has a traveling wave solution \((u,v)(t,x)=(U^{\tau,c}(x\cdot\xi-ct),V^{\tau,c}(x\cdot\xi-ct))\) (for all \(\xi\in\mathbb{R}^N \)) connecting the two constant steady states \((0,0)\) and \((\frac{a}{b},\frac{\mu}{\lambda}\frac{a}{b})\), and there is no such solutions with speed \(c\) less than \(2\sqrt{a}\), which improves the results established in [30] and shows that this system has a minimal wave speed \(c_0^*=2\sqrt a\), which is independent of the chemotaxis.

Authors: Dr Md. Safiqul Islam
Published: October 2023

Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Economic Corridor (BCIM-EC) will integrate BCIM sub-region that includes southwest China, northeast India, Bangladesh and Myanmar. In particular, the BCIM-EC will run from Kunming (capital city of Yunnan Province of China) to Kolkata (capital city of West Bengal of India) via Myanmar, Northeast India and Bangladesh. It also links the Bay of Bengal through Bangladesh and Myanmar. Significantly, the corridor will form at thriving economic belt that will promote common development of this sub-region with the linkages of transport, energy and telecommunications networks. However, this is very interesting area for academic enquiry but under exploration. Meanwhile, the paper investigates the significance of the BCIM-EC in geoeconomic and geostrategic consideration for the BCIM countries. It explores, particularly, how the building of the BCIM-EC can facilitate these countries in securing common economic and strategic benefits by using their geostrategic position. Therefore, based on the investigation, the paper concludes that the BCIM-EC will facilitate these countries in bolstering trade and investments, developing the infrastructures and enhancing their geostrategic value and advantages. More importantly, it will work as a driving force behind “alliances for prosperity” of the BCIM countries.

عقوبة الارتداد في القانون البروناوي: تأصيلها وكيفية تطبيقه ا
Authors: الدكتور نَ عْمان جَغيم
Published: October 2023

هذا البحث دراسة وص فية تحليلية للمواد المتعلقة بعقوبة الارتداد في القانون الجنائي الشرعي البروناوي. ويهدف إلى دراسة عقوبة الارتداد في ذلك القانون مقارنة بالفقه الإسلامي مع بيان كيفية تطبيقها. ويكون تركيز البحث على تحليل موقف المُشَ رِّع البروناوي من استتابة المرتد وعلاقة ذل ك بالمذهب الشافعي الذي يعدُّ المذهب الرسمي للدولة. والملاحظ أن المُشرِّع قد خالف المذهب الشافعي وما عليه جماهير الفقهاء في إعطاء المحكمة الشرعية سُلْطَةَ وَقْفَ تنفيذ العقوبة وتمديد الاحتجاز بغرض الاستتابة حسب ما تراه مناسبا، ولذلك فإن البحث يسعى إلى الكشف عن الأسس الشرعية لما قرره القانون البروناوي بخصوص استتابة المرتد. وقد خلص البحث إلى أنه على الرغم من عدم ثبوت القول باستتابة المرتد أبدا عن علماء السلف، إلا أنه يوجد في بعض الآثار عن الصحابة والتابعين ما يمكن أن يُستفاد منه مرونة في تطبيق عقوبة الردة واستتابة المرتدين.
Leveraging ‘I+1’ Comprehensible Input Theory to Enhance Acquisition of Arabic Language
Authors: Ahmad Labeeb Tajudeen  , Gamal Abdul Nasir Zakaria
Published: October 2023

This short Communication is part of a proposed research project that aims to fill some gaps in Stephen Krashen’s i+1 comprehensible input theory and pave way for its effective classroom application which is hitherto problematic. Although the theory was postulated to apply to all forms of Second Language Acquisition (SLA), the primary objective of the project is to apply i+1 input model in Arabic Language Teaching (ALT), as a way to answer a clarion call sounded by His Majesty, the Sultan of Brunei Darussalam, for innovation of new methods in teaching Arabic language skills. This Communication is a conceptual research paper that aims to demonstrate, albeit partially, a suggested pedagogical framework that is innovated to teach the Arabic language to non-native speakers, whose mother tongue has considerable similarities with the Arabic language, such as Hausa language, Malay language, Urdu language, Yoruba Language, etc. For a demonstration of the suggested pedagogical framework, Malay language is used as a case study. The novelty of this paper lies in demonstrating the possibility of applying i+1 comprehensible input theory to enhance acquisition of the Arabic language skills by the Malay learners, and to show a unique way of strengthening the bondage between the Arabic language and the Malay language, as espoused in the national philosophy and identity of Brunei Darussalam.

Digital Organizational Support and Employee Well-Being: The Role of Moderating Religious Coping
Authors: Mohamad Sodikin  , Mudrik  , Heru Sulistyo
Published: October 2023

The rapid and unpredictable business environment changes can affect work patterns and organizational sustainability, such as during the Covid-19 pandemic. Organizations are required to carry out social distancing by working from home to provide services to the community. Emotional exhaustion can arise when the work process has to be done at home for a relatively long time with social interactions restrictions. Based on conservation of resources theory, this study examined the effect of working from home via telework on employee well-being for civil servants in the public sector. The study involved 150 civil servants as respondents. Data analysis using structural equation modelling. Results showed that digital organizational support has no significant effect on emotions. Religious coping strategies significantly moderate the relationship between emotional and employee well-being. Besides, emotions do not entirely mediate the relationship between digital organizational support and employee well-being. The findings of this study have important implications for organizations, especially regarding overcoming emotional exhaustion during the Covid-19 pandemic.  The research limitations, future research and managerial implications are also discussed in the study.
CABARAN MEDIA SOSIAL TERHADAP PENDIDIKAN AQIDAH ISLAM
Authors: Hambali Jaili  , Halimaturradiah Metussin
Published: October 2023

Teknologi moden telah memberi impak yang amat besar terhadap kehidupan masyarakat khususnya golongan muda. Jika zaman dahulu, dunia kanak-kanak dipenuhi dengan aktiviti fizikal bermain di luar rumah, berbasikal, beriadah dan sebagainya, namun golongan muda pada abad ke 21 pula terdedah kepada penggunaan pelbagai peralatan teknologi seperti televisyen, internet, komputer, telefon pintar. Akses Internet mudah didapati dimana-mana di samping penggunaan meluas pelbagai peranti gajet seperti telefon pintar menjadikan maklumat mudah diakses dihujung jari. Pengunaan media sosial di samping memberi manfaat juga memberikan kesan yang buruk jika disalahgunakan sebagai alat untuk menyebarkan fitnah dan maklumat yang salah dan tidak tepat. Berdasarkan pelbagai kajian, media sosial memberi kesan terhadap sahsiah diri terutama aspek sosio-psikologi golongan muda. Hak individu dan kebebasan bersuara sering digunakan bagi membolehkan mereka melakukan serta meluahkan sesuatu tanpa batasan. Terdapat dua cabaran utama yang harus dihadapi dalam pendidikan Islam iaitu: pertama, jurang ilmu antara pendidik dengan golongan muda; dan kedua, kefahaman akidah yang betul dalam kalangan golongan muda.

Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

In this piece on the future of peer review for the British Academy, I assert that, in the humanities: OA is not about abandoning peer review but it does provide the opportunity to rethink its role and our methods. 67% of existing OA journals do not charge APCs and yet academics have tended to steer clear of them.
Wann Langston, Jr. 1921-2013
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: October 2023

I first met Wann at SVP in 1997, in Chicago. I was an undergrad, still three months away from my B.S., presenting a poster arguing that OMNH 53062 (which would eventually become the holotype of  Sauroposeidon  ) was a new sauropod.

This is a caudal vertebra from the middle of the tail of an ostrich, LACM Bj342: The middle row shows it in anterior, left lateral and posterior views; above and below the anterior view are the dorsal and ventral views. It’s about 5 cm across the transverse processes.
Musikhörer, Musiker, Musikgeschäft: Doku „A Silent Rockumentary“ angelaufen
Authors: Steinhau Henry
Published: October 2023

„Und da stellen sich nun die Internet-Revoluzzer hin und meinen, Sie würden es denen ‚da oben’ mal zeigen. Dabei schädigen sie vor allem die ‚da unten’. Das ist das, was man unterm Strich mal sehen muss.“ Sagt Doc Wenz, Bandleader der Mannheimer Mardi Gras BB, zum Umgang mit digitalen Musikdateien und den Folgen für Musiker. Und er sagt noch viel mehr dazu im Dokumentarfilm „A Silent Rockumentary“, der seit gestern in deutschen Kinos läuft.
Tutorial 22: how to get a “nearly finished” paper over the finishing line
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

There are probably many ways of getting a “90% complete” paper finished and ready for submission, but here’s the way that works for me. (It’s working for me  right now  : I’m in the middle of the process, and broke off to write this just for a a break.)  You will need:  A printed copy of your manuscript A red pen A CD of Dar Williams songs that you know inside out A bottle of red wine A bar of white chocolate (optional)
A loophole in PLOS’s use of the CC By licence
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Christopher W. Schadt tells a distasteful story over on his blog, about how a PLOS ONE paper that he was a co-author on was republished as part of a non-PLOS printed volume that retails for $100. The editors and publishers of this volume neither asked the authors’ permission to do this (which is fair enough, it was published as CC By), nor even took the elementary courtesy of informing them.
The only winning move is not to play
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

 The problem  I find myself reading a lot recently about “portable peer-review” — posts like Take me as I am, and my paper as it is? by scicurious at  Neurotic Physiology  , which excellently diagnoses  a terrible, wasteful problem in scientific publishing  : What a waste! What a drag on the progress of science!
Why a NISO effort to standardise AltMetrics?
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

As has now been widely reported, NISO have a $200K grant from the Alfred P Sloan Foundation to develop standards for AltMetrics. Why? If there’s one consistent lesson from standardisation processes, it’s that standards which codify existing practice do well, while those that try to invent new practice in the form of a standard do badly.
Predatory publishers: a real problem
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Predatory publishers are an increasingly prevalent problem. Jeffrey Beall’s list is getting a lot of coverage recently, including stories in  Nature  and in the  New York Times  . But the most recent and troubling predatory-publisher story I’ve read is about a lawsuit. No, not the Edwin Mellen Press libel suit.
Night at the Museum: LACM’s Camp Dino
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: October 2023

Last night London and I spent the night in the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (LACM), as part of the Camp Dino overnight adventure. So we got lots of time to roam the exhibit halls when they were–very atypically–almost empty.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate”
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

I was struck by this bit of prevarication in Richard Van Noorden’s new piece on open access. First the set-up: So far, so good. And then we have this: What does the weasel-word “appropriate” mean here? Is Alicia saying that she doesn’t think what Eisen’s saying is  correct  ? No, if that’s what she meant, she would have said so. “I don’t think it’s right to say X” is a much stronger statement.
Specimen photos with desaturated backgrounds
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Generally when we present specimen photos in papers, we cut out the backgrounds so that only the bone is visible — as in this photo of dorsal vertebrae A and B of NHM R5937 “The Archbishop”, an as-yet indeterminate Tendaguru brachiosaur, in right lateral view: But for some bones that can be rather misleading: they may be mounted in such a way that part of the bone is obscured by structure.
When something can be read without effort, great effort has gone into its writing
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

It was Enrique Jardiel Poncela who said that “When something can be read without effort, great effort has gone into its writing”. I would have guessed at someone like Mark Twain, or maybe G. K. Chesterton, but there you go. A couple of months ago, I sent an eight-page submission to the House of Commons BIS Committee’s inquiry into the Goverment’s Open Access policy.
Going to see the big mounted Alamosaurus next week

Published: October 2023

Next week I’m going to visit the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, Texas, to see their big  Alamosaurus  (these photos were kindly provided by Ron Tykoski of the Perot Museum, with permission to post). See that sweet string of cervical vertebrae in front of the mounted skeleton?
Seriously, Mendeley people, what did you expect?
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

I think the most painful part of the Elsevier-eats-Mendeley deal has been watching good people acting as apologists for Elsevier and then feeling hurt when people don’t accept their protestations. You can see a good example (but far from the only one) in the comments to Danah Boyd’s post on her #mendelete. I don’t know what Elsevier have been feeding their new minions, but whatever it is it seems to be working.
How dense are birds? Some new (old) data. Also, hummingbirds and ketchup.
Authors: Wedel Matt

I recently reread Dubach (1981), “Quantitative analysis of the respiratory system of the house sparrow, budgerigar and violet-eared hummingbird”, and realized that she reported both body masses and volumes in her Table 1. For each of the three species, here are the sample sizes, mean total body masses, and mean total body volumes, along with mean densities I calculated from those values.

Here’s an update from the road–get ready for some crappy raw images, because that’s all I have the time or energy to post (with one exception). Here’s OMNH 1331. It’s just the slightly convex articular end off a big vertebra, collected near Kenton, Oklahoma, in 1930s by one of J. Willis Stovall’s field crews.

Banned from commenting at Nature AGAIN.

Just like the last time I tried to post a comment on Richard Van Noorden’s piece on open-access economics, the comment I posted has been rejected with a fatuous “This account has been banned from commenting due to posting of comments classified as inappropriate or other violations of our Terms of Service” message.

Coming Soon...Diving into ARPA History
Authors: Gilliam Eric
Published: October 2023

I’ve taken to calling the pieces I write for FreakTakes “administrative histories.” The reason I opted for that name instead of “progress studies histories” or “metascience histories” is that it was the name that drew the fewest confused stares and/or eye rolls from the scientists and engineers whom I hope to attract.

Long, long ago — back in 2010! — Gordon Dzemski of the University of Flensburg, Germany, sent me a copy of a miniposter that he had prepared, and invited me to share it on SV-POW!. Somehow, it fell through the cracks, and I never did so. Time to fix that!

It’s well worth reading this story about Thomas Herndon, a graduate student who as part of his training set out to replicate a well-known study in his field.

Changing the game in the search for open access
Authors:   OA.Works
Published: October 2023

For the past few months, like chickens on eggs we have been sitting on what we think is a game changing idea. We’ve been sitting on it because despite trying as two student activists, we just haven’t found the help we need to make it a reality. So to preface what you’re about to read — we need your help. It almost goes without saying that the current model of scientific publishing needs a rethink.

Publishing is a button: what Clay Shirky didn’t say
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Looking again at Clay Shirky’s “How we will read” interview, I re-read these now classic words: Here’s what Shirky could have gone on to say, but didn’t. An unfortunate side-effect of this shift is that we still have these big, lumbering publishing corporations clogging up the landscape, with  nothing constructive to do  . And the reason that’s a problem rather than merely a waste, is that whereas it used to take special
Giraffes’ necks are lamentable
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

At the top: our old friend BYU 9024 — the cervical vertebra that’s part of the  Supersaurus vivianae  holotype. At the bottom, C2 (the longest cervical) of  Giraffa camelopardalis angolensis  FMNH 34426. The  Supersaurus  vertebra is 138 cm long. We don’t know which cervical it is, but there’s no reason to think it’s the longest. The giraffe vertebra is 31 cm long.
