Challenges Faced by Women Officers as They Pursue Promotions
Authors: Todak Natalie
Published: August 2024

Written survey responses from 226 women police officers from the U.S. were analyzed to identify challenges women face in the police promotions process.
Participants identified six challenges. The top responses were: (1) gender bias among the decision makers, (2) cronyism (i.e., the promotion of friends or associates), and (3) doubt in women’s policing abilities.
Police agencies looking to diversify their upper ranks must simultaneously pursue an objective promotions process and reflect on how male-dominated organizational cultures can spill into promotions decisions to disadvantage women.
What is the Evidence for Gun Buyback Programs?
Authors: Bennell Craig
Published: August 2024

Gun buyback programs are popular in the United States. By offering citizens of a city cash for their guns, it is thought that the number of crimes involving guns in that city will be reduced.
Despite their popularity, previous research has shown that gun buyback programs often do not reduce crime, at least at the city level.
For the first time, the source article examines the impact of these programs at a more local level. The findings indicate that gun buybacks in Philadelphia, PA, did not reduce gun crimes or gun-related calls for service in the immediate vicinity surrounding specific buyback locations.
Policy makers may need to consider whether resources allocated to gun buyback programs might be better spent on more promising prevention efforts.
Safety of Vascular Neck Restraint Applied by Law Enforcement Officers
Authors: Bennell Craig , Bozeman William P.
Published: August 2024

One use of force option available to officers in some police agencies is the vascular neck restraint (VNR). Using this technique, pressure is applied to the sides of the neck. If properly executed, VNR can result in either voluntary compliance or temporary unconsciousness.
Based on a review of records from three police agencies, VNR performed by trained police officers was found to be both safe and effective. The data revealed no fatalities or significant injuries. The real-world effectiveness of the VNR technique was estimated to be 92.6%.
Calls to ban neck manipulation techniques by police officers due to safety concerns may be unnecessary. Banning a safe and effective use of force option may be counterproductive, by forcing officers to utilize other options with higher risks of injury.

Published: August 2024

Financial service institutions require financial service applicantsâ€™ data for financial capability evaluation. The data may include financial information, personal details such as property ownership, tax records, and family data. The submission of the data does not guarantee approval as some applications can be rejected. This study explored the the protection of customersâ€™ data when their applications were denied. This normative juridical study regarded secondary data and library resources. The findings of this study highlighted the need for regulatory guidelines to protect customer data, particularly for those whose applications were rejected since their data could be misused by outsourced marketing personnel considering the absence of specific monitoring system. Even more, financial service institutions are not held accountable for such actions that occurred outside their scope of authority. In conclusion, regulatory measures must be established to protect and prevent unauthorized use of customersâ€™ data.

Authors: Iswahyudi Iswahyudi , Apriliyanti Nenden , Arumsari Imas
Published: August 2024

Melinjo peel is a local food ingredient that is easily found in the community and has the potential to be developed into high-fiber snacks. The aim of this research was to produce high-fiber tortilla chips that are chemically and organoleptically acceptable. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with one factorial and two replications. Factors in the study were the addition of melinjo peel flour to substitute corn which consisted of 3 levels of F1 (20%), F2 (30%), F3 (40%), and F0 (0%) as a control. The analysis consisted of proximate analysis (moisture content, ash content, protein, fat, carbohydrates), total energy, fiber content and organoleptic tests (hedonic test and hedonic quality) using 50 panelists. Data of proximate test, total energy and fiber content were analyzed using the ANOVA test followed by Duncan's Mutliple Test (95% significance). Data of organoleptic test were analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test and followed by the Mann Whitney test (95% significance). The results showed that the addition of melinjo peel flour to substitute corn had a significant effect on fiber content (p<0,05), but had no significant effect on moisture content, ash content, protein, fat, carbohydrates and total energy (p>0,05). The results of the organoleptic test showed that the addition of melinjo peel flour to substitute corn had a significant effect on the level of preference for color and aroma as well as on taste quality and color quality (p<0,05). F2 (70%: 30%) is the formula for the selected tortilla chips with the nutritional content in 100 g of the ingredients, namely 413.46 kcal of energy, 84.44 g of carbohydrates, 4.56 g of fat, 8.65 g of protein, and 47.59 g of fiber.
Expanding the reach of quantum optimization with fermionic embeddings
Authors: Zhao Andrew , Rubin Nicholas C.
Published: August 2024

Quadratic programming over orthogonal matrices encompasses a broad class of hard optimization problems that do not have an efficient quantum representation. Such problems are instances of the little noncommutative Grothendieck problem (LNCG), a generalization of binary quadratic programs to continuous, noncommutative variables. In this work, we establish a natural embedding for this class of LNCG problems onto a fermionic Hamiltonian, thereby enabling the study of this classical problem with the tools of quantum information. This embedding is accomplished by a new representation of orthogonal matrices as fermionic quantum states, which we achieve through the well-known double covering of the orthogonal group. Correspondingly, the embedded LNCG Hamiltonian is a two-body fermion model. Determining extremal states of this Hamiltonian provides an outer approximation to the original problem, a quantum analogue to classical semidefinite relaxations. In particular, when optimizing over the special orthogonal group our quantum relaxation obeys additional, powerful constraints based on the convex hull of rotation matrices. The classical size of this convex-hull representation is exponential in matrix dimension, whereas our quantum representation requires only a linear number of qubits. Finally, to project the relaxed solution back into the feasible space, we propose rounding procedures which return orthogonal matrices from appropriate measurements of the quantum state. Through numerical experiments we provide evidence that this rounded quantum relaxation can produce high-quality approximations.

An analysis of the relationship between domestic trade costs and the dietary quality of Chinese residents
Authors: Liu Xiaolu , Si Wei , Li Lei
Published: August 2024

Domestic trade flow in China is an indispensable factor affecting food availability to the public. The aim of this study is to focus on the cost of domestic trade within China and the dietary health of Chinese residents. Based on the China-regional input-output tables and the CHNS micro-database, we calculated China’s domestic trade costs and Healthy Eating Index (HEI) of Chinese urban and rural residents. We find that domestic trade costs are negatively correlated with residents’ whole grain and mixed beans, vegetables, fruits, beef, mutton, poultry, and aquatic products consumption, having a significant negative influence on residents’ dietary quality score. Domestic trade costs can influence residents’ food consumption structure by affecting income and traditional market scores. Domestic trade costs have a greater negative influence on the dietary quality of rural residents, low-income residents, and elderly residents. The results suggest that reducing domestic trade costs increased residents’ food consumption and improved their dietary quality. Increasing the people’s income and stimulating traditional markets can alleviate the decline in dietary quality of the population caused by an increase in domestic trade costs.
Purchasing vegan latte or plant-based latte: label communications toward sustainability
Authors: Lee Hyeonjeong , Lee Dongmin , Moon Junghoon
Published: August 2024

Consumers increasingly prefer lattes using alternative milk from plant-based sources. This study aims to find the factors affecting consumer intention to purchase lattes using alternative milk from plant-based sources and to compare the links between the factors and purchase intentions depending on two labels, “vegan” and “plant-based.” An online, scenario-based experiment was conducted with a between-subjects design (plant-based: n=268, vegan: n=265), followed by a survey. In both groups, the results show that the perceived benefits positively affect purchase intention, but the perceived barrier (i.e., vegetarian stigma) did not. Perceived benefits and preference were higher when showing a “plant-based latte” label focusing on the presence of plant-based ingredients than when showing a “vegan latte” label focusing on the absence of animal-based ingredients. For the label “vegan latte,” even if consumers are non-vegan, the higher their food curiosity, food snobbery, and food variety-seeking tendency, the higher their purchase intention. It suggests to marketers and menu developers what needs to be highlighted and which consumers to target to boost sales of latte using alternative milk. The findings emphasize the potential for labels to promote the purchase intention of alternative lattes, offering a strategy for changing consumer behavior.

ABSTRACT
Sawah Luhur Village, Banten community has a fishery cultivation livelihood using silvofishery system. Silvofishery systems have high potential in storing carbon stocks in climate change mitigation. However, baseline data related to blue carbon reservoirs and sources of community income from the silvofishery system are still limited. This research aims to estimate carbon stocks (blue carbon reservoir) and calculate community income in the silvofishery system in Sawah Luhur Village, Banten. The method used was an allometric approach to estimate the amount of potential carbon stocks, analysis of vegetation on 100 plots, and interviews with the community. Biomass and carbon stock data were collected using non-destructive sampling on 20 transects perpendicular to the shoreline with 5 square plots measuring 10 m x 10 m for each transect line. The silvofishery economic assessment in Sawah Luhur Village uses the total economic value approach which is calculated from the sum of the direct benefits of the presence of mangrove resources. It is estimated that the average carbon stock stored in 10 ponds at the stake and pole level yields 94.67 tons/ha. The silvofishery system in fish farming ponds is dominated by milkfish with yields from each pond ranging from IDR 1,500,000 to IDR 7,000,000 per harvest (mangrove and fish components).

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT
Petai is a plant that belongs to the MPTS (Multi Purpose Tree Species) plant type which can be used multiple times for both wood and non-wood. Petai also has benefits from an economic perspective (fruit and wood) and ecology (legume plants fertilize the soil) so it needs to be cultivated well. There are several factors that influence the quality of cultivation results, one of which is the planting media. The planting medium used is soil in the sub-soil layer as an alternative to top soil. However, this layer is not as fertile as the top soil layer, so it is necessary to add soil improving materials (Ameliorants), for example organic materials. This research aims to analyze the effect of adding various organic materials to sub-soil planting media on the growth of Petai seedlings and to obtain the best organic material composition to add to sub-soil planting media which can have a real influence on the growth of Petai seedlings. This research was carried out for 3 months using a completely randomized design (CRD) method with 1 factor, namely planting media (M) consisting of 5 treatments, namely m1 (Sub soil + compost 3:1), m2 (Sub soil + husk charcoal 2:1), m3 (Sub soil + Cocopeat 2:1), m4 (Sub soil + Boiler ash 4:1) and m5 (Sub soil + Laying chicken manure + Sand 1:2:1). The best organic material composition to add to the sub soil planting medium is cocopeat (2:1).

Enhancing fire resistance in wood with high-water retention silica gel: A promising flame-retardant solution
Authors: Fei Zhongbin , Zhang Yingnan , Wang Zhi , Duan Yiling , Zhang Bin
Published: August 2024

This study aims to evaluate the water retention and flame-retardant
properties of silica gel prepared using anionic polyacrylamide (HPAM),
gluconate-delta-lactone (GDL), and aluminum citrate (AlCit). Silica gel
samples were synthesized with sodium silicate (8 wt%), sodium bicarbonate (4
wt%) and varying concentrations of HPAM (0.2-0.8 wt%) and GDL (0.1-0.3 wt%).
The prepared gels were characterized using XPS, XRD, FTIR, and TGA. Optimal
water retention capacity was achieved with 0.4 wt% HPAM and 0.2 wt% GDL.
Compared to traditional gels, silica gel has more surface water molecules
due to additional hydrophilic groups and the amorphous nature of silica. At
high temperatures, silica forms a layer with the charcoal from treated wood
combustion, inhibiting oxygen penetration and minimizing further combustion.
After combustion at 500?C, the mass loss of wood treated with silica gel is
36-53% less than untreated wood, indicating greater weight retention and
demonstrating silica gel's effectiveness in preventing continued burning.

The superhydrophobic, self-cleaning and anti-corrosion surface was
successfully coated on mortar using an effective one-step spray coating
technique. A coating solution was prepared by mixing
methyltrichlorosilane-modified SiO2/TiO2 nanoparticles at different ratios
to enhance the super-hydrophobicity and reduce water absorption of the
mortar. The sample prepared using a SiO2/TiO2 with the ratio of 75/25 was
found to be optimal, exhibiting a high water contact angle and low sliding
angle, which resulted in a reduction of water absorption more than 97.5 %
and chloride ion penetration depth. Furthermore, the robustness of the
superhydrophobic coating was analyzed against various tests including water
drop impact, sand abrasion impact, tape peeling and sandpaper abrasion
tests, with each test conducted over 10000 drops, 300 g, 60 cycles, and 5
cycles, respectively. Notably, the coating showed excellent water absorption
reduction of 82.6 % after sandpaper abrasion for a length of 200 cm (20
cycles), even though the water contact angle was reduced to 118?. Thus, the
fabrication of superhydrophobic mortar surface offers a novel, alternative
approach that is simple, efficient, cost-effective and provides
multifunction protection surface to increase the service life of on-site
building construction with enhanced mechanical durability and anti-corrosion
properties.
Do Financial Analysts See through the Cloud of Carbon Emissions?

SYNOPSIS

Carbon risk management plays a crucial role in global environmental development, increasing the demand from environmentally conscious investors and stakeholders for carbon disclosure and control. In parallel with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) release of climate rules in 2024 for enhanced carbon disclosure, this study investigates the effect of voluntary carbon disclosure on analyst forecast accuracy. Using a sample of S&P 500 firms from 2009 to 2020, we find that high-quality carbon disclosure and performance is positively associated with earnings forecast accuracy.
