Close binary systems present challenges to planet formation. As binary separations decrease, so do the occurrence rates of protoplanetary disks in young systems and planets in mature systems. For systems that do retain disks, their disk masses and sizes are altered by the presence of the binary companion. Through the study of protoplanetary disks in binary systems with known orbital parameters, we seek to determine the properties that promote disk retention and therefore planet formation. In this work, we characterize the young binary−disk system FO Tau. We determine the first full orbital solution for the system, finding masses of

. With long-baseline Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array interferometry, we detect 1.3 mm continuum and 12CO (J = 2–1) line emission toward each of the binary components; no circumbinary emission is detected. The protoplanetary disks are compact, consistent with being truncated by the binary orbit. The dust disks are unresolved in the image plane, and the more extended gas disks are only marginally resolved. Fitting the continuum and CO visibilities, we determine the inclination of each disk, finding evidence for alignment of the disk and binary orbital planes. This study is the first of its kind linking the properties of circumstellar protoplanetary disks to a precisely known binary orbit. In the case of FO Tau, we find a dynamically placid environment (coplanar, low eccentricity), which may foster its potential for planet formation.

Published: April 2024

Stellar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from host stars are an important factor that affects the habitability of exoplanets. Although their solar counterparts have been well observed for decades, it is still very difficult to find solid evidence of stellar CMEs. Using the spectral line profile asymmetry caused by the Doppler shift of erupting plasma, several stellar CME candidates have been identified from spectral lines formed at chromospheric or transition region temperatures of the stars. However, a successful detection of stellar CME signals based on the profile asymmetries of coronal lines is still lacking. It is unclear whether we can detect such signals. Here we construct an analytical model for CMEs on solar-type stars and derive an expression of stellar extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) line profiles during CME eruptions. For different instrumental parameters, exposure times, CME propagation directions, and stellar activity levels, we synthesized the corresponding line profiles of Fe ix
λ171.07 and Fe xv
λ284.16. Further investigations provide constraints on the instrumental requirements for successful detection and characterization of stellar CMEs. Our results show that it is possible to detect stellar CME signals and infer their velocities based on spectral profile asymmetries using an EUV spectrometer with a moderate spectral resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. Our work provides important references for the design of future EUV spectrometers for stellar CME detection and the development of observation strategies.

Authors: Zeng Linzhou , Tan Zhibang , Ke Yougang , Xia Lingling
Published: April 2024

In recent years, there has been a rapid growth of online learning in higher education. Apart from professional online course platforms, many online video sharing websites have also provided online learning opportunities for college students. One of the most popular websites among college students in China is Bilibili, a Shanghai-based Chinese video sharing website known for its danmaku commenting system. This system enables users to post scrolling comments synchronized with the video timeline while the video is playing. Which attracts young students due to the lively user interaction. As a result, an increasing number of Chinese students are utilizing online courses on Bilibili as a supplementary learning resource alongside traditional classroom learning. Despite its popularity, online learning faces the challenge of students’ lack of participation more than traditional face-to-face learning does. To understand their learning involvement, we propose a novel danmaku-based automatic analysis model that extracts three dimensions of online learning engagement using the Text Mind software. This model enables us to understand the students’ learning patterns both as clusters and as individuals. Based on the model results, we present corresponding intervention strategies for different types of students based on their individual engagement characteristics.

Published: April 2024

Learning in the 21st century requires students to have problem-solving and critical thinking skills. In problem-solving related to the environment, students need a strong foundation in environmental literacy. The environmental literacy of eighth-grade students still falls relatively low within the unfavorable category. It was found that several students still needed to increase their awareness of protecting the environment. Students still need assistance in learning about climate change because there are several abstract concepts to grasp. The characteristics of Generation Z include a low attention span and a dislike for lengthy explanations. The purposes of this study were to (1) determine the characteristics of Generation Z, (2) assess the feasibility of utilizing Android-based video series as a learning medium, and (3) analyze the response of Generation Z to such educational content. This research and development method refers to the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The outcome of this research and development is a video series focusing on climate change, presented in the form of an android. Observation, interviews, and questionnaires are data collection techniques. Learning media validation was conducted by two media experts: a subject matter expert and a language expert. The validity test results were calculated using Aiken’s V index formula. The results obtained for the three experts were 0.92, 0.93, and 0.90. The results of the analysis of teacher and student response tests form the expected characteristics of the video series, receiving very positive feedback.

Published: April 2024

Digitalization has led to new investments in information including advance administration, storage, and gathering of corporate information. Blockchain technology has enabled this basic change, and it is becoming a feasible way to manage digital assets in various areas. These assets have enormous value and can be traded in a separate market from traditional assets. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a prime example of this progress. NFTs have created a data-based digital asset market and are safely kept on blockchain network. Unlike fungible digital assets, NFTs are irreplaceable. Gaming, health care, real estate, metaverse and finance could benefit from it. NFTs are more than just digital files and can be crucial to digital finance and its integration in BFSI is evolving due to blockchain and cryptocurrency. NFTs have fundamental obstacles that must be solved before they are accepted. Usability, privacy, governance, security, extensibility, environmental effect and intellectual property are some challenges faced by NFTs.

Sobreviventes e náufragos: reflexões sobre Filosofia e Sociologia no Ensino Médio no contexto de disputas sociopolíticas contemporâneas
Authors: Pinto Gustavo Louis Henrique , Santos Patrícia da Silva , Santos Elisângela da Silva , Spiess Marcos Alfonso Rucinski
Published: April 2024

Esse trabalho objetiva problematizar os condicionantes de permanência da disciplina de Filosofia e Sociologia no Ensino Médio, na educação brasileira, em contexto de crise democrática e avanço do autoritarismo na última década. O objetivo é, primeiro, identificar no processo de institucionalização da Filosofia e da Sociologia na Educação Básica a concomitância de temáticas e de tensões políticas que concorreram para a permanência dessas disciplinas na Educação Básica, e, em segundo lugar, refletir sobre a sobrevivência da Filosofia e da Sociologia no Ensino Médio Integrado da Rede Federal como um traço de distinção na comparação com a oferta da educação pública de nível médio. O caminho proposto para essa análise foi partir de um breve delineamento da ideologia Olavo-bolsonarista em torno da Educação, em que buscamos analisar os vínculos do campo político do progressismo com essas duas disciplinas na Educação Básica. No segundo momento, analisamos a relação entre a entrada dessas disciplinas no Ensino Médio (a partir de 2008) e a transformação recente nos campos das Ciências Sociais e da Filosofia, buscando identificar o questionamento dos cânones admitidos por essas disciplinas, dos objetivos políticos formulados e dos currículos ainda em processo de adaptação. No terceiro momento, sugerimos algumas observações sobre a sobrevivência da Filosofia e Sociologia na Rede Federal, ressaltando o contexto político adverso para essa permanência e a persistente situação de ameaça. Os resultados iniciais dessa pesquisa são a percepção da baixa institucionalização e a fragmentação da presença da Filosofia e da Sociologia na Educação Básica, que reforçam a deslegitimação do conhecimento científico e das Ciências Humanas.

Surveillance for Action: Operationalizing Private Sector Surveillance and Service Delivery across the Malaria Transmission Continuum
Authors: Berlin Erica , Lourenço Christopher , Poyer Stephen
Published: April 2024

Despite global recommendations that surveillance systems should capture malaria case data from both private and public sectors, the integration of private sector data into national systems remains a challenge for national malaria programs in high-burden settings. The WHO’s Malaria Surveillance, Monitoring & Evaluation: A Reference Manual suggests eight general guidelines for conducting private sector surveillance. Practical operational guidance is needed to implement private sector surveillance and service delivery interventions. This commentary describes available evidence and lessons learned from the Greater Mekong subregion and sub-Saharan Africa on mapping and geolocating private providers; adding private providers to national digital registries; strengthening regulation, training, and supervision; providing feedback; and subsidizing commodities. Reporting tools should be electronic, aligned or integrated with existing national systems, and adapted to meet private sector needs. A strong enabling environment is also required, including regulatory systems that mandate private providers be registered and report into national surveillance systems. Where possible, existing systems and government personnel should be used to train, supervise, and mentor private providers. Commodities such as quality-assured artemisinin combination therapies and rapid diagnostic tests need to be available to clients at affordable prices. Finally, any parallel private sector surveillance systems need to be incorporated into the Ministry of Health systems, and the Ministry of Health needs to regularly engage with the private sector. However, the private sector contains a broad spectrum of provider types and varies across countries. Strategies need to be adapted to local contexts.
Enhancing Stock Trend Prediction Using BERT-Based Sentiment Analysis and Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Yadav Nikesh
Published: April 2024

Predicting stock trends with precision in the ever-evolving financial markets continues to be a formidable challenge. This research investigates an innovative approach that amalgamates the capabilities of BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) for sentiment classification (Pang et al., 2002; ?) with supervised machine learning techniques to elevate the accuracy of stock trend prediction. By harnessing the natural language processing process of BERT and its capacity to understand context and sentiment in textual data, coupled with established machine learning methodologies, we aim to provide a robust solution to the intricacies of stock market prediction. By leveraging BERT's natural language processing capabilities, we extract sentiment features from financial news articles. These sentiment scores, combined with traditional financial indicators, form a comprehensive set of features for our predictive model. We aggregate daily net sentiment, among other metrics, and demonstrate its statistically significant predictive efficacy concerning subsequent movements in the stock market. We employed a machine learning model to establish a quantitative relationship between the aggregation of daily net sentiment and trends in stock market movements. Which improved the state-of-the-art performance by 15 percentage points. This research contributes to the ongoing effort to improve stock trend prediction methods, ultimately aiding market participants in making informed investment choices.
determinação social da saúde-doença
Authors: Freitas Carina
Published: April 2024

Trata-se de um ensaio que busca fazer uma análise entre a determinação social de saúde-doença e a saúde pública no Capitalismo. A análise do estado de saúde dos indivíduos dentro da sociedade capitalista não pode ser dissociada do modo de produção e tão pouco a organização de sistemas públicos de saúde pode. Buscamos entender como a lógica de mercado coloca a saúde pública como uma fonte de acumulação de capital e como o estado burguês muitas vezes é usado como agente nessa transferência de capital, destinando recursos públicos para setores privados. Nesse contexto, o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) sofre com imensas ofensivas neoliberais, além de lidar com seu subfinanciamento crônico. Sendo assim, fica evidente que o estado de saúde e de doença da classe trabalhadora e operária não pode ser unicamente implicado em características individuais e biológicas, mas está intimamente relacionado com o modo concreto de vida do trabalhador, com as condições de exploração do trabalho no Capitalismo e com os serviços de saúde pública disponíveis, esses regulados pelo estado burguês.
Áfricas em Angola

Este texto é o resultado de obras artísticas fotografadas para demonstrações da manifestação do poder de mulher que trazem para o mundo da arte as identidades. São retratos de doze africanidades angolanas que se destacam no âmbito cultural e também em diversas áreas de conhecimento. Este trabalho serve como um mecanismo de reflexão sobre como o continente africano, em toda a sua significativa diversidade, é percebido nas diferentes diásporas brasileiras. O objetivo principal é demonstrar que as obras artísticas fazem parte da identidade em Angola e estão ancoradas na resistência, contrapondo a visão hegemônica que associa os países africanos ao estigma de “atraso” e “subdesenvolvimento”. Trabalha-se aqui, também, na compreensão de como as colonialidades geográficas buscam apagar identidades e, acima de tudo, como, dentro das obras, os processos de construção e reconstrução de conhecimento e emancipação indicam um lugar de [auto]afirmação.

Exploring gamete distribution for Somatic cell nuclear transfer embryonic stem cell procedures
Authors: Safai Amelia
Published: April 2024

Somatic cell nuclear transfer is a modern technology most famously known for producing clones, such as ‘Dolly’ the sheep. However, its purpose is being explored in what is called ‘therapeutic cloning.’ This is the process of using somatic cell nuclear transfer to produce embryonic stem cells (ntESC). These stem cells can then be used in a variety of treatments, such as organogenesis and ailments for chronic illnesses such as type II diabetes. Australia has recently lifted the ban on research conducted into somatic cell nuclear transfer testing, and thus, the question arises of how an already-strained gamete pool can be distributed towards ntESC procedures. Firstly, using Rawls’ ‘veil of ignorance’, the concept of a waiting-list structure is considered due to its unbiased nature. Then, the permissibility of such a list will be analysed from the perspective of ntESC technology potentially being critical for time-restricted scenarios. It is thus concluded that a gamete waiting list for ntESCs is conditionally just if patients are not in dire situations.

BUSINESS CYCLE, MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH. THE SIERRA LEONE EXPERIENCE
Authors: Duramany-Lakkoh Ezekiel K. , Bockarie Michael Fallah , Abu Abdul-Majid , Udeh Ernest
Published: April 2024

The study investigates the impact of business cycle fluctuation on economic growth in Sierra Leone using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model bound testing framework with annual time series data for the period 1992 to 2022. The result from the unit root shows that the variables are mixed variables of I (0) and I (1) variable series, while the bound test testifies that there is an existence of cointegration in the long run. The long-run result reveals that domestic credit to the private sector, inflation, lending interest rate, and broad money supply are the main determinants of the business cycle fluctuation on the economic growth in Sierra Leone. The result shows that broad money supply portrays a positive effect on the business cycle economic growth and statistically it is not significant at the 0.05 level of significance. It implies that for every 1% increase in the broad money supply, the business environment will be improved by 0.220 in the long run. This result implies that an increase in money supply is part of an expansionary monetary policy that tends to boost the industrial sector by expanding the investment which tends to create employment and improve the business cycle and economic growth in Sierra Leone. Policymakers are therefore encouraged to further enhance the power of appropriate monetary authorities in introducing both monetary and credit policies that will serve to increase the broad money supply.
