Fecal-pellet surveys provide density estimates of pellet groups, which offer a quick and reliable index of population densities for white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus and other wildlife species. Comparisons of differing fecal-pellet survey methodologies have previously shown that they vary in the precision. However, researchers made these comparisons outside of the United States in regions with lower white-tailed deer densities. In this study, we compared pellet-group density estimates and precision from line transects, quadrat sampling, and strip transects. At each site, three observers surveyed simultaneously with each being responsible for one method. Like other studies, we found that each method produced similar estimates of pellet-group density, but quadrat sampling produced the most precise estimates. Furthermore, all three methods suggested that the central region of Indiana had both the highest pellet-group density and the highest precision. These results suggest a more homogenous distribution of pellet groups in areas with higher white-tailed deer densities, which may increase the precision of all methods. Our results suggest that quadrat sampling may be the most effective method for estimating pellet-group densities within woodlots of the U.S. Midwest, and that precision may increase in areas with higher white-tailed deer densities. This study not only improves deer management within the Midwest but provides guidelines for other studies to potentially advance the conservation and management of other species.
Nonlethal Tools to Identify Mass Ovarian Follicular Atresia in Burbot

Published: October 2022

Skipped spawning, or variation in spawning periodicity, occurs in many annual spawning fish species and is an important consideration for population management. We assessed plasma sex steroid concentrations and measured gonad size and ovarian follicle diameter as metrics to nonlethally identify mass ovarian follicular atresia, which may contribute to skipped spawning in Burbot Lota lota. We maintained wild fish in captivity and exposed them to increasing water temperatures during a 3-wk period before the spawning season to induce mass ovarian follicular atresia. We collected ovarian follicles, blood plasma, and gonadal sonograms from fish weekly between January 28, 2018, and March 25, 2018. We histologically analyzed ovarian follicles to confirm stage of maturity. We measured concentrations of plasma sex steroids testosterone (T) and estradiol-17β (E2) by radioimmunoassay. We measured gonad diameter and circumference by ultrasonography and ovarian follicle diameter by image analysis. Mean plasma T concentration decreased from 8.94 ng/mL during late vitellogenesis to 1.83 ng/mL during atresia, suggesting that plasma T concentrations may be used to identify mass ovarian follicular atresia. We do not recommend using plasma E2 concentrations to identify mass ovarian follicular atresia because E2 concentrations rapidly decreased during the completion of vitellogenesis and the initiation of atresia in Burbot; therefore, plasma E2 may not accurately identify mass ovarian follicular atresia. Mean gonad diameter measured by ultrasonography decreased from 4.05 cm during late vitellogenesis to 3.65 cm during atresia. Mean diameter of ovarian follicles decreased during the final week of the study, suggesting that ovarian follicle diameter may be used to identify advanced mass ovarian follicular atresia. The nonlethal tools assessed—plasma sex steroid concentrations, ultrasonography, and ovarian follicle diameter—enable fisheries biologists to determine the occurrence and frequency of mass ovarian follicular atresia among Burbot in Lake Roosevelt and may be applied to other Burbot populations.
Issues and Challenges of Transgender Men Menstruators
Authors: Gupta Kavita , Parimal Balvant
Published: October 2022

Menstruation has long been considered a vital part of a woman's health. The fact that transgender males menstruate is only recently being acknowledged by academics and medical professionals; therefore, little is known about their viewpoints and menstrual experiences. For this demographic, dealing with menstruation is one area where coping skills are necessary, enabling some degree of independence. This chapter contends that in order to address menstrual shame, taboos, and stigmas in a gender-inclusive manner, degendering menstruation is necessary. The focus of the chapter is on the menstruating experiences of transgender men. An in-depth interview with four trans men menstruators is included in this chapter. For content analysis, the data were evaluated after collection. The chapter would be helpful for future research on empowering and promoting the health of menstruating transgender men.
Moral Panic, Social Exclusion, and the Human Rights of Same-Sex Partners in Ghana
Authors: Tweneboah Seth
Published: October 2022

At the core of this chapter is a thematic analysis of media portrayal of same-sex partnership in the Ghanaian public sphere. The chapter ponders how media products affect societal framing and (mis)understanding of homosexual identity and activities. It interrogates the function the Ghanaian media plays in the framing of same-sex activities and the notion (misperception) people have about same-sex partners. The chapter thus situates the exclusion of same-sex partners within the context of mediatization of their sexual lifestyles. What appears as stigmatized and discriminative treatment as well as social exclusion of same-sex partners, the chapter contends, is partly a result of the fear that same-sex lifestyles will lead to the destruction of heterosexual relationship and the eventual disintegration of society.

Queering Identities
Authors: Agarwal Chinkey , Sethi Charu
Published: October 2022

In most societies, there is a binary division between males and females, and masculinity and femininity, to which all individuals must conform. Any non-conformity from this binary is considered unnatural and abnormal and is discriminated against. The fear of being shunned, as they do not belong to the binary groups of “male” and “female,” compels the LGBTQ+ community to live in a closeted world. Media is a powerful tool that can represent and discuss minority groups and pave way for their acceptance. However, the entertainment industry specifically reinforces the stereotypical norms related to gender identity. The chapter proposes to construct meaning out of queer representation (or rather misrepresentation) in entertainment industry and analyze the reproduction of hetero-normative ideals. It also attempts to discuss stigmatization of homosexuality and existence of homo-invisibility in the industry. The chapter will focus on queer portrayal in cinema, television, and advertising industry over time.

Authors: Ruvalcaba-Gomez Edgar A. , Garcia-Benitez Victor Hugo
Published: October 2022

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been inserted in a disruptive way in the various activities of human beings. The leaders in the AI techniques adoption are large companies in the private sector. However, the public sector already presents considerable advances in this field, mainly in the governments of Europe, North America, and China. However, governments have carried out practices and actions to implement ICTs in safety, health, mobility, education, and others, found in national documents and projects on the use of AI in the public sector. These documents show the objectives, goals, and actions that the public administration plans to carry out. This research aims to present some strategies that have been established in different countries in the field of AI in national governments, identifying their similarities and differences. Through an exploratory study, it seeks to analyze some national strategies that present innovative approaches and public policies in AI.

Published: October 2022

The financial profile of natural and legal persons allows financial institutions and financial services companies to identify the level of default of credit applicants. In this way, maintaining a healthy financial profile is derived from a positive history and status, the result of good financial decisions. In Latin America, the vast majority of people pay little attention to strengthening this type of profile, and it is a subject that is rarely addressed on the most popular social media platforms. In this chapter, a search for opinions of Latin Americans regarding the financial profile on the Twitter social network was made, finding that there is a very small number of responses to publications on this topic. Therefore, a web platform is proposed to provide advice on this important issue. The general design of a module for text analysis using sentiment analysis and machine learning techniques is also proposed.

Authors: Pollayi Hemaraju , Bandaru Prathyusha , Rao Praveena
Published: October 2022

In the chapter, the authors develop a machine learning (ML)-based model that has the potential to make rapid predictions for seismic responses with SSI effects and determine the seismic performance levels. The authors select several input parameters for training, validation, and testing of the present model. The present high speed and accurate data generation methods can be incorporated as a tool for safe seismic assessment and design of sustainable earthquake resistant structures. Finally, the authors will test the soil-pile model experimentally on a shake table (with strain gauges and accelerometers) when subjected to harmonic load with varying frequencies in the range 3Hz to 12Hz and base acceleration ranging from 0.05g to 0.3g. The present approach shall provide substantial information for design of piles and the response of piles subjected to earthquake excitations.
Deep Learning Implementation for Pattern and Incidences Identification of Gender Violence in Mexican Contexts
Authors: Garduño Juan Carlos , Valle-Cruz David , Mendoza-Mendez Rafael Valentin , Dorantes-Coronado Ernesto Joel
Published: October 2022

This research has as its central theme gender violence in the Mexican context. It is based on the application of two data collection instruments whose objective is, in the first instance, to identify factors and essential elements that characterize cases of gender violence in higher education institutions and as a second point to obtain information from students who are victims of gender violence. The implementation of deep learning techniques is a key point in the research because thanks to it, it has been possible to identify the percentage in which emotions are presented in the texts collected with the second data collection instrument. Among the data obtained, it stands out that the female gender is the most violent, but at the same time, it is considered the most violent, a fact that gives the opportunity to continue with this research in future works, or the fact that 91.9% of the women surveyed have suffered at least one case of violence in their lives. In addition to this, it was found that anger is the most influential emotion in the texts collected with a presence of 56.3%.

Authors: Poornima Galiveeti , Janardhanachari Vinay , Sakkari Deepak S.
Published: October 2022

The internet of things (IoT) is a dynamic and global network infrastructure in which “things”—subsystems and individual physical and virtual entities—can be identified, autonomous, and self-configurable. “Things” are expected to communicate with one another and with the environment by exchanging data generated by sensing, as well as react to events and trigger actions to control the physical world. A digital twin is a synchronised virtual representation of real-world entities and processes. Understanding the data management challenges for DT is critical to understanding the data issues. Data management is a common issue in existing systems, ranging from product design to asset management and maintenance.

Authors: T. Rajendran , S. Surya , N. Mohamed Imtiaz , N. Babu
Published: October 2022

The internet of things (IoT), big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and cybertwin, as well as other digital technology and designed intelligence have accelerated the 4th industrial revolution known as Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 applications must construct complicated machine representations from such fundamental pieces, which is a time-consuming, error-prone, and wasteful process that impedes machine and plant mobility. Cybertwin, a comprehensive solution for fast Industry 4.0 application creation, testing, and porting, is proposed in this study. The deployment of cybertwin with IIoT will enhance the efficiency and accuracy of real-time IIoT applications. Further, these huge mixtures of data will be analyzed by using big data analytic tools to produce intensive incident commands, and it is further deeply analyzed to discover various knowledge, which supports redesign and reengineering of the specific process. The cloud computing platform will be utilized to achieve big data analytics effectively.

Authors: Nobre Gabriel Peres , Ferreira Kecia Aline Marques , Silva Ismael Santana , Barbosa Glívia Angélica Rodrigues
Published: October 2022

In this work, the authors characterize Brazilian online population sentiment on different political events using data from Twitter and discuss the advantages of the usage of this social media as a data source. The results demonstrated that the Brazilian population uses Twitter to manifest their political view, expressing both positive and negative sentiments regarding political events. This kind of characterization may contribute to build a critical opinion of Brazilian people, once they would not be limited by what is being divulgated by typical media, such as television and newspapers. Additionally, the authors reinforced the applicability of social media, as Twitter, to make this kind of characterization.
Social Media and Electoral Processes
Authors: Fox Bianca , Marinescu Valentina
Published: October 2022

Existing research documents extensively explain the reasons for social media use during electoral campaigns. However, there is insufficient evidence showing that social media are indeed being used to complement traditional ways of communication. This chapter uses the diffusion of innovations theory to explain the adoption and non-adoption of Facebook (FB) by Romanian political parties during the 2019 European election campaign. The chapter addresses two research questions: the differences between Facebook adopters and non-adopters during this campaign in Romania and how this adoption or non-adoption impacted the overall election results. 885 Facebook posts were content analysed. This chapter evidences that adopting Facebook to engage the posts does not always result in improved electoral outcomes.
Institutional Policies and Online Education in Developing Countries
Authors: Nhatuve Diocleciano
Published: October 2022

This chapter aims to examine the effectiveness of institutional policies regarding online teaching and learning in some developing countries in the Southern African region. The study is informed by online teaching and learning principles, and it adopts qualitative and quantitative approaches. The data comprises answers of 231 students to the question: Did your institution encourage online learning before the lockdown? The sample was collected through a survey between the 1st July 2020 and the 11th March 2021, a period in which students were undertaking an online learning process as a strategy to overcome the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 67% of respondents confirm that their universities did not implement nor encourage online learning before the lockdown due to the pandemic. In this context, the study shows that aversive policies against online learning and lack of adequate equipment jeopardize the education goals to provide integrated and globalizing learning.
New indexes for myofibril linearity in muscle image analysis
Authors: Rocchi Ettore , Peluso Sara , Amatori Stefano , Sisti Davide
Published: October 2022

The endeavor to evaluate the linearity of myofibrillar structures and their potential deviation from a straight line is a fascinating problem in muscle tissue image analysis. In this Letter, we suggest two different strategies for solving the same challenge. The first strategy is based on an alignment index, which could be derived by comparing the sum of the lengths of the individual sarcomeres with the distance between the "head" of the first and the "tail" of the last sarcomere. The second strategy relies on circular statistics, which takes a cue from an already suggested method. Our proposed methods are alternatives: the former has the advantage of simplicity; the latter is certainly more elegant and gives greater substance to statistical analysis, but in contrast, it also has greater computational complexity.
Tumor talk: A descriptive study of communication about tumor board meetings
Authors: Tullis Jillian A.
Published: October 2022

Tumor board meetings are behind-the-scenes settings where communication about health and strategizing about healthcare delivery take place. Despite their wide use in hospitals and cancer centers, there is a dearth of information about the communication practices in this context. Drawing upon six weeks of observations, this study investigated communication during tumor board meetings at a tertiary cancer center in the Southeastern United States. Findings revealed differences in communication among cancer specialties, with one tumor board consistently talking about the medical and non-medical elements of patient cases, while other specialties focused primarily on plans for treatment with little discussion about quality of life, economic, or caregiver support issues. The manuscript includes suggestions for modifying tumor conferences and opportunities for future research.

Towards Visual Ecology of Digital City
Authors: Kolesnikova Daria A. , Latypova Alina R.
Published: October 2022

Contemporary city is a digital city. It is real and the techniques of its living are no poorer than the techniques of developing pre-digital cities. The city of the digital age does not dissolve into virtuality but, on the contrary, acquires new levels and dimensions. It is expanding, as is the range of the models managing it, which are formed on the basis of new technologies. The city is turning into a complex mechanism that produces and processes data flows. Architecture, urban management, and practices of citizens are increasingly basing on digital technologies. In the article, the authors set the context of the thematic issue through the introduction of two registers of visuality of contemporary city: a visible city that changes under the influence of the digital, and an invisible city created by algorithms.
The Gaze and Its Signifiers: Stain, Dirt, Garbage
Authors: Shevtsov Konstantin P.
Published: October 2022

The article analyzes the concept of pollution as a deviation from the order or destruction of the meaning that ensures the establishment and reproduction of this order. We can talk about visual pollution only if we clarify how we see the meaning of visuality. To describe and reveal this meaning, the article proposes and develops the concept of gaze-returning, and it also defines a number of criteria that allow us to characterize some visual phenomena as dirt or visual garbage. The phenomenon of dirt in visible space is associated with the figure of the gaze and the possibility of investing in this space the experience of other senses and the body as a whole. The foreignness of these components of visuality can work to strengthen it — to articulate differences and fix them, and finally, to the technological reproduction of visual images; however, the same components contribute to the simulation of the gaze and the displacement of the living experience of vision by its technical signs, which is the reason of the problem of destruction of the visual order.

The relevance of the topic is due to the need to ensure food security in Kazakhstan. The goal is to assess the dependence of the republic on food imports, as well as to justify government measures to stimulate import substitution in agricultural sector of economy: customs and tariff control, lending, direct budget support, procurement and commodity interventions, tax and price regulation. The following methods were used in the article: general logical, systematic approach, analysis of cause-and-effect relationships, comparison and grouping. Results – the authors analyzed in dynamics the growth rates of gross agricultural output and imported food products. In maintaining the population growth rate an average of 1.3% which was observed in 2016-2020, the forecast for production of basic food products by 2025 is calculated, taking into account rational consumption rates. The authors note that reduction of food import dependency at the expense of domestic products is a t ask of national importance. Conclusions – in order to achieve and maintain physical and economic availability of safe food products in volumes and assortment corr esponding to scientifically based physiological needs, it is necessary to pursue a policy of d iversification of economy, its restructuring, use preferential micro -lending. Ensuring the country's food independence can be achieved in two ways, the first is related to self -sufficiency in food, the second is to combine the use of potential of domestic food industry and import supplies. The sol ution of the problems of import substitution is possible by increasing the competitiveness of K azakhstani agricultural enterprises through the introduction of innovations and the use of r esource-saving technologies.

An important element in managing the economic results of economic entities is the search for reserves to increase labor productivity. The goal is to improve the methodology for calculating the impact of adaptive farming technologies on intensification of labor activity in grain production. Methods – statistical: data on technical solutions, machine systems, types of fertilizers, hydrothermal conditions, yields and areas of wheat crops, the number of workers employed in grain subcomplex-steppe zone of Northern Kazakhstan for 1961-2020. To assess the impact of specific components on the level of working productivity, the methods of regression and index analysis were used. The impact of production factors, including technological innovations, on the change in the criterion of beneficial effect in agricultural sector is quite accurately calculated by the proposed methods and procedures. Results – it has been determined that adaptive opportunities for obtaining agricultural products have a positive effect on increasing profitability and profi tability in agroindustrial complex. The expansion of the range of indicators and the tasks set makes it possible to make calculations with even greater reliability and accuracy. However, it should be borne in mind that the system of statistical accounting in countries with transit economies is at the stage of improvement. Conclusions – since the sixties, labor productivity in grain industry has undergone significant changes. Its growth rates differed in different time periods. Until the end of the last century, the indicator changed relatively slowly. A jump-like growth of more than two times was observed in the 2000s, due to a number of reasons, primarily the use of resource-saving mechanisms adapted to real external conditions and high-performance machines.

The first HSCT program in Latin America started in 1979 at the Federal University Hospital (Curitiba, Paraná). Over the years, the number of centers performing transplants in the country increased, generating the need to know the results of this modality of treatment. Understanding the HSCT scenario in Brazil is still challenging since not all Brazilian centers report data to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Research (CIBMTR). Although it has been improving over the last years, infrastructure and trained data managers are still lacking. The partnership between the Brazilian Cellular Therapy and Bone Marrow Transplant Society (SBTMO) and the CIBMTR, allowed the return of Brazilian data registered in the CIBMTR, through the Data Back to Center (DBtC), in a standardized and organized way. With this database it was possible to know the demographic data and the outcomes of transplants performed in Brazil. Between 2012 and 2021, complete information of 7,982 transplants were reported to the CIBMTR from 31 Brazilian transplant centers. The consolidation of the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Brazilian Registry (HSCTBR) using CIBMTR infrastructure, allowed the Brazilian Summary slides development and update. Despite the difference in the number of cases and of follow-up time, the results in this study were similar to those presented in the US Summary Slides.

The notion of (right) left mapping on equality algebras is introduced, and related properties are investigated. In order for the kernel of (right) left mapping to be ﬁlter, we investigate what conditions are required. Relations between left mapping and →-endomorphism are investigated. Using left mapping and →-endomorphism, a characterization of positive implicative equality algebra is established. By using the notion of left mapping, we deﬁne →-endomorphism and prove that the set of all →-endomorphisms on equality algebra is a commutative semigroup with zero element. Also, we show that the set of all right mappings on positive implicative equality algebra makes a dual BCK-algebra.

Published: October 2022

The success of Shopee is influenced, among other factors, by disseminating public information through social media. Related to this success, the authors are interested in examining the effect of Shoppe's social media promotion on purchasing decisions through mediation by word of mouth. Three variables were studied: social media, word of mouth, and purchasing decisions. 100 Shope shoppers, selected by judgment, were used as respondents. Analysis with structural equation modeling reveals that social media positively affects word of mouth and purchase decisions. Word of mouth also has a positive effect on purchasing decisions. Mediation analysis shows that word of mouth mediates social media relationships and purchase decisions.

In addition to helping evaluate choices, information is sometimes too abundant, causing confusion for consumers to make choices. Many experts believe that in such a situation, consumers will rely on the experiences of others. Consumers’ reviews and ratings are examples of such experiences. However, it is still not clear how these two influence consumer choice. This study intends to investigate the effect of consumer reviews and ratings on the repurchase intention of Scarlet Whitening. Recruiting 100 actual consumers as respondents, data analysis with multiple linear regression shows that consumer ratings and reviews have a positive effect on the intention to repurchase Scarlet Whitening. This study can not explain the effect of those two independent variables on the choice of potential consumers. Further research could examine this issue.
