Rational Ontological Argument
Authors: Sijuwade Joshua R.
Published: January 2025

By developing a new ontological argument for the existence of God, Joshua R. Sijuwade presents an innovative approach that enriches the existing discourse with fresh insights and a contemporary perspective.

The ontological argument seeks to demonstrate the existence of God from an a priori standpoint and Sijuwade begins by addressing the substantial critique the modal argument has received. He embarks on a rigorous exploration, providing needed analysis and a positive iteration termed the ‘Rational Ontological Argument’, rooted in a novel modal methodology known as Rational Modal Realism.

Using this new method, Sijuwade focuses on demonstrating how the central concepts and theories within modal metaphysics and epistemology—such as modal realism, modal rationalism, trope theory and ontological pluralism—offer a means to develop a victorious ontological argument.

Employing contemporary analytic methods and suggesting productive directions for further research, Sijuwade makes a key contribution to philosophy of religion and re-invigorates the age-old philosophical argument for the existence of God.
Technics and Enaction
Authors: Dereclenne Émilien
Published: January 2025

Providing an innovative approach to conceptualising imagination or creativity, this book offers analternative concept of imagination to the classical internalist and representationalist theory.

Émilien Dereclenne argues that contemporary conceptions of imagination and creativity in the field of cognitive science, are guilty of a kind of dualism between mind and technics. Combining enacted, embodied, ecological, extended, embedded (5e) cognitive theories with material anthropology and the French philosophy of technics and imagination, Dereclenne challenges this approach. Instead, he highlights the role of technical and socio-material engagement in imaginative and creative processes. In doing so, he brings enactive philosophers like Lambros Malafouris, Shaun Gallagher and Ezequiel Di Paolo into dialogue with the philosophy of André Leroi Gourhan, Gilbert Simondon and Bernard Stiegler in order to showcase how French philosophers of technics can help 5E cognitive sciences further explore their theories of imagination.

Saxophone
Authors: Hawkins Mollie
Published: January 2025

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.

The saxophone is a contradictory instrument that has rooted itself in the soil of pop culture. It’s the “devil’s horn,” it’s the voice of jazz — an extension of the player’s soul — it is a character trait of U.S. Presidents, YouTube sensations, and cartoon characters. It has both enhanced and ruined songs, it is sensuous yet abrasive, and it is the only instrument widely excluded from symphonies and orchestras, never quite being taken seriously. As an object that is symbolic of living on the margins of society, the saxophone has never been kind to its players.

Blending research, cultural criticism, and personal narrative about her saxophonist father, who lived on the margins until his unexpected death, Mollie Hawkins explores more than just the history of this expressive instrument. She illuminates the dark paths that our passions can lead us down.Saxophoneturns the lens around to ask us all: what does it mean to devote your life to such an object — even if it kills you? Can music hold such power over us?

Poetics of Listening
Authors: LaBelle Brandon
Published: January 2025

In Poetics of Listening, renowned sound studies scholar Brandon LaBelle brings critical attention to listening as a practice, one that can wield significant impact onto individual, interpersonal and community wellbeing.

From self-determination to social participation, somatic healing to collective repair, political recognition to ecological engagement, listening is fundamental to negotiating our most fundamental challenges. Through thoughtful examinations of listening’s role across society, Poetics of Listening convincingly shows listening to be not only important to social struggles, but a form of poetic imagination and communion. It moves listening toward a broader application and view, which includes the ability to listen across human and more-than-human worlds, to listen into or with one’s body, or to listen out for futures to come as well as addressing unfinished histories, and it challenges us to think more broadly about what it means to hear and be heard within today’s complex environments.
Emerging Republican Minorities
Authors: Sommer Udi , Franco Idan
Published: January 2025

How is it possible that Donald Trump, a champion of racist and anti-immigrant policies, has only attracted more minority voters since 2016? Drawing on extensive statistical analysis, this book challenges the conventional wisdom on Black, Latino, and Asian American voters.

Positing a host of theoretical innovations based on diverse data sources,The Emerging Republican Minoritiesestablishes that some of the most heated debates of the Trump era—race, immigration, and relations with China—had effects on minority voters that challenged a paradigm ascribing their automatic loyalty to the Democrats. For Black, Latino, and Asian American constituents, much like for their white counterparts, minority-hostile positions are critical in explaining how members of those same minority groups vote, even for candidates whoprima facieshould not win any of their support.

Udi Sommer and Idan Franco analyze detailed regression models and conduct robust empirical tests to demonstrate how minority constituencies are more ideologically diverse than commonly thought, even on such issues where we would expect near unanimity, such as opinions toward their own communities. Moreover, this diversity complicates the way we think and theorize not only about minority political behavior but also about democracy and its vitality in the Trump and post-Trump eras.

Implementing Advanced Analytics for Optimizing Food Supply Chain Logistics and Efficiency
Authors: Eyo-Udo Nsisong Louis , Abbey Anate Benoit Nicaise , Olaleye Iyadunni Adewola
Published: January 2025

The global food supply chain faces significant challenges in ensuring efficiency and minimizing disruptions, especially in the face of unexpected events, fluctuating demand, and logistical complexities. Implementing advanced analytics within food supply chains can transform operational dynamics, enabling precise prediction of potential disruptions and enhancing logistics efficiency. This study proposes a robust framework that leverages machine learning algorithms to forecast disruptions—such as delays in transport, shifts in consumer demand, or adverse weather conditions—and to optimize the logistics flow accordingly. By incorporating predictive modeling and real-time data analysis, this framework aims to enhance decision-making capabilities across various stages of the supply chain, from production and warehousing to transportation and delivery. The proposed framework utilizes a combination of supervised learning for demand forecasting and unsupervised learning for anomaly detection, enabling early identification of potential logistical challenges. Furthermore, integrating these analytics with real-time data sources, such as IoT sensors and satellite imagery, facilitates a comprehensive view of supply chain status, thereby increasing responsiveness and adaptability to unforeseen events. The potential future integration of this framework with autonomous delivery systems, such as drones or autonomous vehicles, could further streamline last-mile logistics, reducing both cost and delivery time while maintaining the quality and safety of perishable goods. This study not only demonstrates the immediate benefits of machine learning-driven predictive analytics but also discusses the scalability and flexibility of this approach for broader applications within global food systems. Future research can explore enhancements in algorithmic accuracy and integration with blockchain for traceability, supporting transparent, resilient, and highly efficient food supply chains. The integration of autonomous delivery systems will additionally be a key focus for ensuring seamless, reliable, and sustainable logistics operations in a rapidly evolving food industry landscape.

Project Management and Communication Applications in Organizations: Matching Applications to Specific Requirements and Industries, Including Emotional Management, Learning Curve and Strategic Time Planning
Authors: WYROBEK Joanna , LESNIAK Marek , ZYGUŁA Andrzej , GONERA Pawel
Published: January 2025

The study examines the distinct functionalities and applications of project management tools to determine their suitability for various industries and organizational needs. While existing comparative analyses often overlook key differences, this research fills the gap by evaluating 13 popular tools, selected based on frequency of mention in the literature. The analysis considers criteria such as communication methods, project hierarchy, ease of use, integration capabilities, support for methodologies (Agile, Scrum, Gantt), emotional management functionalities, and sector-specific applications. Key findings reveal significant differences among tools: Older tools like Microsoft Project cater to large teams and complex projects but have steep learning curves and higher costs. Newer tools such as ClickUp and Notion are more user-friendly, flexible, and preferred by smaller teams and startups. Methodologies vary, with Agile-supporting tools like Jira and Wrike, and Waterfall-focused ones like Smartsheet and Microsoft Project. Emotional management features, such as mood tracking, are often added via plugins (e.g., Slack, Jira). Tool preference depends on team size, industry, and project complexity. For instance, Trello and KanbanFlow are ideal for small teams, while Wrike and Asana excel in larger, more complex environments. Despite apparent similarities, the tools are complementary, with each serving distinct user groups. The study concludes that the best choice depends on specific organizational needs and work styles.

Technical note: Towards a paradigm change in observing soil water content via cosmic-ray neutron sensing
Authors: Oswald Sascha E.
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Observing soil moisture via cosmic-ray neutron sensing has seen a rapid methodological development and expansion during the last decade. However, to foster its application some change in perspective may be useful. We reformulate the most common calibration equation used when working with CRNS data, the Desilets equation, and provide a simple and insightful form. This leads us also to a new option for calibration of CRNS time series without any local sampling of soil moisture, and also without knowledge on CRNS detector sensitivity. At the same time it delivers the basis for a quantitative expression on how heterogeneities in the footprint contribute to the CRNS-derived soil moisture as well as why statistical errors in practice may be larger than assumed usually. Finally, we suggest to also define the area (and volume) represented by the CNRS observation in a more pragmatic way and complement it by indicating needs for better standardization.
Quantifying the agricultural footprint on the silicon cycle: Insights from silicon isotopes and Ge/Si ratios
Authors: López-Urzúa Sofía , Derry Louis , Bouchez Julien
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Silicon (Si) is essential for ecosystem function, supports primary productivity, and is intricately linked to the carbon cycle, which regulates Earth's climate. However, anthropogenic activities, such as agriculture, deforestation, and river damming, have disrupted the natural Si cycle, altering biogenic and dissolved Si fluxes in soils and rivers. Despite the importance of understanding and quantifying human impacts on Si cycling at local and global scales, few studies address these disruptions, leaving a critical knowledge gap. Here, we analyzed the Si isotope composition (δ30Si) and germanium-silicon (Ge/Si) ratio dynamics across various Critical Zone compartments—soil, bedrock, water and plants—within the Kervidy-Naizin agricultural catchment observatory, France. Our findings reveal a vertical gradient in δ30Si across the water pool in the Critical Zone, from lighter groundwater (δ30Si = 0.56 ± 0.25 ‰) to heavier soil solutions (δ30Si = 1.50 ± 0.22 ‰). This gradient reflects distinct processes: in deep groundwater, weathering and clay precipitation control δ30Si signatures, while at shallower depths, progressive plant uptake and crop removal further enrich δ30Si in soil solutions. Using a mass balance combining δ30Si and Ge/Si ratios, we quantified Si export from the catchment as plant material, both natural and harvested. Additionally, we assessed Si export from agricultural harvesting using two independent approaches: an elemental mass balance based on riverine chemistry and suspended sediments, and a method incorporating isotope fractionation factors and soil Si loss indices. Plant material export, including natural and harvested material, emerged as the largest Si export flux from the catchment, accounting for ~74 % of the Si solubilized from rock and exceeding dissolved Si export by 3.2 to 5.4 times. Through two independent approaches, we estimated that 37 ± 10 % to 50 ± 19 % of total Si export occurs through harvesting, depending on crop species, with the harvesting flux being 1 to 4 times greater than the dissolved Si flux. Reduction in dissolved Si exports because of agriculture may have significantly impacted downstream ecosystems, where Si availability directly influences primary productivity. Our study highlights how human activities have reshaped the Si cycle in agricultural landscapes.
Solving a North-type energy balance model using boundary integral methods
Authors: Samuelsberg Aksel , Jakobsen Per Kristen
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Simplified climate models, such as energy balance models (EBMs), are useful conceptual tools, in part because their reduced complexity often allows for studies using analytical methods. In this paper, we solve a North-type EBM using a boundary integral method (BIM). The North-type EBM is a diffusive, one-dimensional EBM with a nonlinear albedo feedback mechanism. We discuss this approach in light of existing analytical techniques for this type of equation. Subsequently, we test the proposed method by solving multiple North-type EBMs with a zonally symmetric continent featuring an altered ice-albedo feedback dynamic. We demonstrate that the introduction of a continent results in new equilibrium states characterized by multiple ice edges and ice belts. Furthermore, we show that the BIM serves as an efficient framework for handling unconventional ice distributions and model configurations for North-type EBMs.
Identification of operational deflection shapes of a wind turbine gearbox using fiber-optic strain sensors on a serial production end-of-line test bench
Authors: Gutierrez Santiago Unai , van Vondelen Aemilius A. W. , Fernández Sisón Alfredo , Polinder Henk , van Wingerden Jan-Willem
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Wind energy has witnessed a staggering development race, resulting in higher torque density demands for the drivetrain in general and the gearbox in particular. Accurate knowledge of the input torque and suitable models are essential to ensure reliability, but neither of them is currently available in commercial wind turbines. The present study explores how a subspace identification algorithm can be applied to fiber-optic strain sensors on a four-stage gearbox to obtain operational deflection shapes. An innovative measurement setup with 129 fiber-optic strain sensors has been installed on the outer surface of the ring gears to research the deformations caused by planet gear passage events. Operational deflection shapes have been identified by applying the multivariable output-error state space (MOESP) subspace identification method to strain signals measured on a serial production end-of-line test bench. These operational deflection shapes, driven by periodic excitations, account for almost all the energy in the measured strain signals. Their contribution is controlled by the torque applied to the gearbox. From this contribution, a torque estimate for dynamic operating conditions has been derived. Accurate knowledge of the input torque throughout the entire service life allows for future improvements in assessing the remaining useful life of wind turbine gearboxes.

Authors: Ferreira Oliveira Danyella , Tyrone Silva Almeida Rherison
Published: January 2025

O artigo objetivou identificar áreas vulneráveis à perda de solo e erosões no Parque Estadual da Serra Dourada e em seu entorno de dois quilômetros, com o intuito complementar de verificar se a delimitação da Unidade de Conservação trouxe efeito de preservação. Adotou-se como recorte temporal os anos de 1985, 2003 e 2022, considerando, portanto, um recorte anterior e posterior ao decreto de criação do parque de 2003. Foram gerados três diagnósticos de perda de solo a partir da aplicação da Equação Universal de Perda de Solo (EUPS). Observou-se que as principais alterações nas classes de perda de solo se deram pela conversão de áreas com cobertura natural e apropriação para atividades agropecuárias. Identificou-se, por meio de inspeção visual de imagens de satélite, 294 pontos erosivos, dos quais 121 estão dentro do parque e 26 são erosões críticas. Os resultados evidenciam que a criação da Unidade de Conservação não foi suficiente para garantir a preservação ambiental, porém, diminuiu o avanço da degradação sobre o espaço.

Published: January 2025

Tomatoes have been widely used in society as a homemade mask by mashing them until smooth and then applying them to the face. Tomatoes have health and beauty benefits because they have high nutritional content such as antioxidants lycopene, vitamin C, potassium, folate and vitamin A. Using tomatoes as a mask has benefits for the skin because they have antioxidant activity so they can provide a brightening effect and can prevent aging.
Peel-off gel masks are one of the masks that are practical to use, because after drying the mask can be removed immediately without rinsing. Peel-off gel masks are made with a Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) base as a gelling agent that has the ability to form a film layer so that it is easy to peel off after drying.
Evaluation of the peel-off gel mask preparation consists of organoleptic tests, viscosity tests, pH tests, spreadability tests and drying time tests. From the results of organoleptic observations, the resulting preparation is a thick preparation with a distinctive tomato odor and has a brick red color. The evaluation results of the viscosity test, pH test, spreadability test and drying time test showed that the peel-off gel mask preparation met the requirements.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperbaiki beberapa masalah yang dirasakan oleh guru dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris, yaitu: (1)Pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di sekolah masih bersifat teacher centered, (2) Materi pembelajaran cenderung bersifat faktual, hafalan, kurang mengarahkan pada pembangunan pengetahuan oleh siswa sendiri, (3) Pembelajaran bahasa Inggris lebih mementingkan hasil dari pada proses, (4) Siswa selalu merasa bosan dan jenuh dalam belajar bahasa Inggris, (5) Terbatasnya pemahaman guru bahasa Inggris dalam pengembangan pendekatan pembelajaran yang berpusat kepada siswa (student centered), sehingga pembelajaran masih berjalan secara konvensional. Oleh karena itu perlu dicarikan solusinya, diantaranya dengan sebuah pendekatan pembelajaran yang dapat menciptakan suasana belajar yang lebih aktif, kreatif, konstruktif, dan berpusat pada siswa, yaitu melalui Pendekatan Konstruktivisme. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan menunjukkan; (1) adanya peningkatan kinerja guru, hal ini nampak dari indikasi membaiknya cara guru dalam melaksanakan proses pembelajaran; mulai dari membuka pembelajaran, mengelola kelas, memberi reward, menjadi motivator dan fasilitator, maupun pelaksanaan sistem evaluasi yang dilakukan. Peran guru dalam pembelajaran ini tidak lagi sebagai penyampai informasi utama, akan tetapi lebih sebagai motivator dan fasilitator, pembimbing siswa mencari dan menemukan sumber belajar dan informasi.(2) mampu meningkatkan aktivitas dan kreativitas siswa, Hal ini terbukti dari siklus ke siklus terdapat peningkatan keaktifan siswa diantaranya aktif bertanya, mencari  dan mengolah informasi, berani mengemukakan ide atau gagasan, menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang diajukan, mengembangkan dan menganalisis terhadap materi bahasa Inggris yang dipelajari, mengeksplorasi pengalaman belajar, mengaplikasikan pengalaman belajar, bertukar fikiran tentang materi dengan teman sejawat, dan membuat kesimpulan.(3) mampu meningkatkan hasil  belajar siswa, hal ini ditunjukkan dari semakin membaiknya nilai rata-rata sesudah penerapan pendekatan konstruktivisme, dibandingkan dengan nilai sebelumnya. Dengan demikian pendekatan Konstruktivisme dapat dijadikan salah satu alternatif yang cocok dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris untuk meningkatkan kualitas belajar siswa baik dalam bentuk process maupun dalam bentuk product (nilai).

Penelitian ini bermaksud untuk menilai bagaimana penggunaan media lingkungan sekitar dapat meningkatkan kreativitas siswa sekolah dasar. Menurut beberapa ahli, kriteria kreativitas siswa antara lain adalah: memiliki rasa ingin tahu yang tinggi, suka mengajukan pertanyaan penting, dapat  bekerja secara mandiri, dan senang mencoba sesuatu yang baru. Namun, kriteria ini hampir tidak dikembangkan sepenuhnya selama proses pembelajaran, yang menunjukkan bahwa kreativitas siswa masih rendah. Pembelajaran yang memanfaatkan lingkungan sekitar sebagai media pembelajaran bisa menumbuhkan kreativitas siswa dalam mengembangkan ide, konsep, dan solusi terkait masalah lingkungan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi literatur untuk mengevaluasi konsep tersebut. Hasilnya menunjukkan pemanfaatan lingkungan sekitar sebagai media  pembelajaran memiliki dampak positif dalam mengembangkan kreativitas siswa dan pemahaman mereka tentang pentingnya menjaga lingkungan.
