Sustainability and Radical Rhetorical Closure: The Case of the 1996 "Heaven's Gate'' Newsgroup Campaign
Authors: Howard Robert Glenn ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: December 2024

Because of their multilateral structure, Usenet newsgroups offer their users the benefit of rich audience feedback. When sustainable, feedback dramatically expands an individual communicator's audience. In the summer of1996, the H.l.M. religious group used multiple posts to Usenet newsgroups to try to locate individuals who might join their spiritual community. However, H.l.M. failed to gamer a large audience and, as a result, failed to locate new members through Internet newsgroups. This occurred because the group's posts did not conform to the "negotiative" rhetorical tactics typical of newsgroup discourse. Negotiative rhetorical tactics encourage feedback and imply a pluralist attitude. As a negative case, the Kl.M. newsgroup posts of 1996 indicate that individuals who believe they have attained certain knowledge can disregard the influences of a pluralistic medium because their beliefs allow them to value benefits that differ from those most obviously associated with that medium. This level of rhetorical closure may imply the potential for dangerous antisocial behavior.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Meditation on the Beatitudes: A Resurrection of the Abnormal Potential of Jesus' Discourse
Authors: Kleine Michael ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: December 2024

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in his meditation on the Beatitudes in The Cost of Discipleship, links his resistance of National Socialism to the Fifth Chapter of Matthew If Richard Rorty's notion of "abnormal discourse" is used hermeneutically to read both the Biblical text and Bonhoeffefs meditation on it, it is possible to understand, better the intertextual and edifying power of Bonhoeffefs rhetoric of resistance. That power, I believe, comes from Bonhoeffefs effort to counter Nazi co-option of Christian discourse by "resurrecting" the originating abnormal discourse of fesus in a twentieth-century context of oppression and "normal discourse."
Pendampingan dalam Pengenalan dan Praktik SADARI untuk Kesehatan Payudara
Authors: Pitria  , Natalia Omiati
Published: December 2024

Mastalgia, or breast pain, is a common complaint frequently experienced by women, particularly those of reproductive age. Mastalgia is divided into two types: cyclic and non-cyclic. Non-cyclic mastalgia is harder to identify its exact cause and can disrupt the quality of life and mental health of women. The global prevalence ranges from 47-70%, with around 60-65% of women in Indonesia having experienced it. At Pringgarata Health Center in Central Lombok, approximately 15-20% of reported breast health complaints are pain without a clear cause, which is suspected to fall under non-cyclic mastalgia. One preventive measure that can be taken is educating women about self-breast examination (SADARI). This education is expected to raise awareness about the importance of early detection and reduce anxiety related to breast health issues. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method to describe the implementation of SADARI education at Pringgarata Health Center. The research subjects are women of reproductive age who receive education and practice SADARI. The results show an increase in the participants' understanding and skills in performing SADARI. It is recommended that this education be continued to increase public awareness, especially in rural areas, about the importance of early detection of non-cyclic mastalgia.

Published: December 2024

In this study, it was aimed to explain the development process of the achievement test related to the subject of measuring length in the 2nd grade mathematics course. Within the scope of the study, in line with the 2018 Primary School Mathematics Curriculum, the list of achievements related to the subject of measuring length in the second-grade mathematics course was determined and a specification table was created according to the achievements. In line with this table, 25 multiple-choice trial items were created. The items were placed in the test in accordance with the level of difficulty and face validity of the test after receiving expert opinion. A period of 30 minutes was determined for the implementation of the test. The test was applied one-to-one with the think aloud technique to 5 students who had studied the subject of length measurement in the 3rd grade. According to the results obtained in the applications, necessary arrangements were made on the points that were not understood in the items. For the application of the test, 211 students studying in the central primary schools in Efeler district of Aydın province in the second semester of 2021-2022 academic year were determined by random sampling method. The results of the test were analyzed by TAP test analysis program and Tetrachoric Factor analysis. Twenty-two items with an item discrimination index of 0.40 and above were included in the test. However, as a result of the tetrachoric factor analysis, 2 more items were removed from the test due to the fact that the items' Measure of Sampling Adequacy (MSA): value and item loadings were below the expected value. Thus, a final test consisting of 20 multiple-choice items was created to be used in the study. As a result of the reliability analysis of the test, the KR 20 value was found to be 0.85. The answer time of the test was determined as 25 minutes. It was revealed that the test is a valid and reliable test that can determine the achievement of 2nd grade students on the subject of length measurement.

Dimonddoids and biomarkers in oil from San Joaquin basin and Santa Barbara basin, Southern California
Authors:   , Mesdkom Monporn
Published: December 2024

This research focused on analyzing diamondoids and biomarkers in oils from the San Joaquin* and Santa Barbara** Basins. These archived samples provide an opportunity to identify mixed petroleum sources in these well-explored basins allowing for the discovery of possible previously unrecognized cracked oil inputs from deeper sources. Standard solutions and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) were used to identify compounds (diamondoids and biomarkers) and calculate their concentrations. Diamondoid analyses from 89 samples indicate that 42 (18*+24**) samples are uncracked oils with low diamondoid concentrations. Higher diamondoid concentrations indicate that 38 (24*+14**) samples are mixed oils with dominant slightly cracked sources and 9 (5*+4**) samples are mixed oils with dominant intensely cracked sources. Biomarker analyses suggest that the San Joaquin and Santa Barbara Basins source rocks were likely deposited in hypersaline continental shelf and continental slope with significant plankton inputs, respectively. In conclusion, both basins oils are of relatively moderate to high maturity, varied in biodegradation ranks and generated by multiple source rocks (Cretaceous, Paleogene and Neogene).

Authors:   , Choempraphai Pimporn
Published: December 2024

Koh Samet is the biggest N-S island in Changwat Rayong. This study emphasized in the northern of Koh Samet. There are the metamorphic rocks in Koh Samet that are mainly schist. Based on evidences in mesoscopic structures and microstructures of study area, the ductile deformation dominates all rock types in study area. Dispersion of poles trend of stereonet can show a pattern of folding. S-folded, M-folded, W-folded, conjugate joint set and minor folds in the field supported ductile deformation. Elongated porphyloblasts are mainly evidences for both dextral and sinistral ductile shear in the field. On thin section, S-C and S-C’ fabrics, mineral orientations, mica fish, and porphyloblasts indicate shear sense both dextral and sinistral. The bulging (BLG), basal gilde, the local grain boundary migration (GBM), undolose extinction and the local subgrain together with the mineral assemblage in quartz indicate low grade metamorphism at the temperature between 300-400°C in greenschist facies. In conclusion, the mesoscopic structures, structural analysis and microstructures analysis were interpreted as folding with shear sense which fits to the flexural shear fold model.
Perlites and volcanic associations at Khao falamee, Amphoe Srabot, Changwat Lopburi
Authors:   , Narapan Jittikan
Published: December 2024

Khao Falamee volcanics is situated in the central part of Lam Narai volcanic field which has been categorized as Late Tertiary alkali-calc-alkali volcanic. Perlites occur within a volcanic succession consisting of perlites, pumiceous perlites, pyroclastics, fine-grained perlites and devitrified perlites, respectively. Petrographic investigation shows that perlites are composed mainly of more than 70% silica-glass groundmass with microcrystalline lath-shaped feldspars and alkaline feldspar phenocrysts, biotite and iron oxides. Perlitic cracks are clearly observed in these rocks.
Geochemical analyses show that majority of the studied perlites including pumiceous perlites, fine-grained perlites and devitrified perlites, similarly comprise major and minor oxides which contain about 70-79% SiO2, 0.2% TiO2, 10-13% Al2O3, 0.5-0.8% CaO, 0.2-0.6% MgO, 0.4-1 wt% FeOtotal, 4-6% K2O, 0.2-4% Na2O and 0.01-0.04% MnO. Consequently, Falamee perlites are mostly named as rhyolitic perlites. In addition, based on geochemical analyses, pyroclastic rocks associated with these perlites are also composed of rhyolitic components with a wider range which can be classified as dacitic and andesitic pyroclastic rocks.

Explainable fatigue detection in assembly tasks through graph neural networks
Authors: Vishwesh Vishwesh , Becker Maximilian , Birnstill Pascal , Beyerer Jürgen
Published: December 2024

Fatigue during assembly tasks can have a negative
effect on subjective as well as objective quality of work. We
recorded a novel dataset for the purpose of detecting fatigue
in assembly scenarios. Participants were instructed to assemble
and disassemble model cars with the help of a robot arm. The
recordings consist of video, depth video, EEG and eye tracking
data as well as questionnaires on the participants’ fatigue. The
dataset can be provided to researchers on demand. In addition
to recording a dataset, we implemented a proof of concept system
to detect fatigue solely on image data. In our approach the
eye tracking data was used to label the participants’ fatigue. Afterwards,
a graph neural network was trained on poses extracted
from the video data and the generated labels. The classifications
of the model are made transparent through the use of explainable
AI using saliency maps and GradCAM. This work can have
a positive impact on human-machine interaction and assistance
systems. Through explainability, we aim to increase the acceptance
of such systems by workers and industries.
Deep learning-based localisation of combine harvester components in thermal images
Authors: Senke Hanna , Sprute Dennis , Büker Ulrich , Flatt Holger
Published: December 2024

It is crucial to identify defective machine components
in production to ensure quality. Some components generate heat
when defective, so automating the inspection process with a
thermal imaging camera can provide qualitative measurements.
This work aims to use computer vision methods to locate these
components in thermal images. Since there is currently no
comparison of object detection and semantic segmentation algorithms
for this use case, this study compares different architectures
with the goal of localising these components for further
defect inspection. Moreover, as there are currently no datasets
for this use case, this study contributes a novel annotated dataset
of thermal images of combine harvester components. The different
algorithms are evaluated based on the quality of their predictions
and their suitability for further defect inspection. As
semantic segmentation and object detection cannot be directly
compared with each other, custom weighted metrics are used.
The architectures evaluated include RetinaNet, YOLOV8 Detector,
DeepLabV3+, and SegFormer. Based on the experimental
results, semantic segmentation outperforms object detection regarding
the use case, and the SegFormer architecture achieves
the best results with a weighted MeanIOU of 0.853.
Performance comparison of area-scan and event-based camera
Authors: Manakov Alkhazur , Herrmann Helmut , Jähne Bernd
Published: December 2024

Event-based sensors asynchronously measure pixel
brightness changes, and output a stream of events that encode
the time, location and sign of the brightness changes instead
of capturing images at a fixed rate, as conventional area-scan
sensors do. Advantages of event-based sensors include: high
temporal resolution and dynamic range (120 dB), low power
consumption, and a compressed output stream. Comparison
methodology between the two types of sensors is not available,
therefore choosing between event-based and conventional areascan
camera for a given machine vision application is a challenge.
We extended the dynamic range for the irradiance of the
test equipment to 120 dB, characterized the performance in relation
to irradiance (photon/(pixel s)), emulated event-based sensor
functionality with conventional area-scan sensor and thus enabled
a comparison. Normal EMVA 1288 standard measurement
suffice for emulation, provided the irradiance series is dense
enough. Area-scan cameras which meet the linear model of the
EMVA 1288 standard, require no measurements, because it is
possible to compute the emulated performance analytically. The
comparison covers several area-scan cameras and three eventbased
cameras with different sensors.
A territorialização precária de famílias rurais atingidas por barragens: dívida social e reconstrução comunitária em reassentamentos no Ceará
Authors: Alves Marina Calisto , Lima Filipe Augusto Xavier
Published: December 2024

Este artigo busca examinar o cenário social e econômico-produtivo de reassentamentos rurais compostos por famílias atingidas pela Barragem Castanhão no Ceará. Tomando como ponto de partida o fato de que essas famílias se encontram reassentadas há cerca de 20 anos nos territórios analisados, busca-se avaliar a efetividade das políticas de compensação social implementadas, com base na percepção das populações que residem nas comunidades. Baseando-se em uma abordagem exploratória e descritiva, utilizou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica, entrevistas com fontes-chave e aplicação de questionários como recursos metodológicos. Foi possível concluir que o processo de deslocamento e reassentamento das famílias nas áreas onde foram realocadas foi e continua sendo envolvido por padrões de dívida social e insuficiências nos projetos de compensação implementados, problemáticas que marcaram profundamente o processo de reconstrução comunitária, implicando em uma territorialização precária com repercussões e consequências diversas na atualidade.
Harnessing the Wisdom of Experience: Age, Grit and Alchemy of Transforming Negative Emotions into Proactive Action
Authors: Dr. Saima Aftab
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The significance of positive feelings is the main emphasis of current emotion research; however, as organizational contexts have changed, discrete behaviors have also changed, which means the emotional foundation of behaviors is changing as well. Different emotions elicit different sorts of behavioral responses. Researchers are becoming increasingly interested in emotional control and interpersonal emotional management. Based on Socio emotional Selectivity Theory (SST) and Conservation of Resource (COR) theory this research study proposed that employee negative emotions of anger and fear predict proactive behaviors depending upon one’s age and levels of grit.
Design/methodology/approach: A cross-sectional survey data of 668 employees shows that anger and fear relate positively with proactive employee behaviors.
Findings: Results show that aging employees have a greater tendency to behave proactively as compared to younger employees. Moreover, grit enhances the ability and motivation of an individual to behave proactively.
Originality/Value: This study is the first which discusses the importance of age and grit in controlling negative emotions. This study contributes theoretically which proves that anger and fear leads to proactive behaviors, by showing how age and grit play their role in converting negative emotions into positive behavioral reactions.

Authors: Zainab Akhwand  , Dr Muhammad Ali Tarar  , Dr. Sohail Akhtar  , Anum Zahra  , Sharjeel Saleem  , Ayesha Anwar
Published: December 2024

The global issue of plastic pollution necessitated a comprehensive understanding of individual attitudes and behaviors toward plastic recycling and environmental conservation. Improper disposal of plastic waste significantly contributed to environmental pollution, as plastics took hundreds of years to decompose and some contained harmful chemicals that could leach into the environment, posing potential risks to human health. Proper management of plastic waste was essential to reduce exposure to these harmful substances and enhance public health and well-being. The present study, titled "Perception, Attitude, and Practice of Environment Conservation through Plastic Waste Management among Students in Dera Ghazi Khan," aimed to explore the intricate interplay between human behaviors and environmental sustainability. Specifically, it sought to: 1) explore the perception of students toward environmental conservation; 2) study the knowledge and attitudes among students regarding plastic waste management; 3) examine how students practiced plastic waste management; and 4) provide recommendations for proper plastic waste management and environmental conservation. A structured questionnaire was developed and targeted a sample size of 300 students from various departments of Ghazi University. In the first stage, 10 different departments were randomly selected from Ghazi University. In the second stage, 30 students were chosen from each department using a convenient sampling technique. The study found that 55.7% of students strongly agreed that they supported businesses using plastic alternatives, and 44% strongly agreed that investing in advanced recycling systems is crucial for reducing plastic pollution. Awareness about plastic pollution was shown to significantly impact environmental conservation attitudes, with 37% strongly agreeing that it fosters a culture of responsibility. Additionally, 35.3% of respondents strongly supported providing incentives to reduce plastic use. Data analysis using SPSS revealed significant associations between attitudes toward reusable items and effective plastic waste management. Findings indicated that students who strongly agreed that increasing the use of reusable items can aid environmental conservation also believed that recycling plastic waste effectively reduces pollution. These findings provide valuable insights for future research and policy formulation in environmental conservation and plastic waste management.

The sample of this study is Taxpayers in Sampit City, Central Kalimantan with 300 respondents. The purposive sampling method is used related to sample selection. The type of quantitative data is used in this study. The results of this research are that there is no significant influence of tax incentives on the reporting of the Annual Tax Return, but tax socialization, and taxpayer understanding have an effect on the reporting of the Annual Tax Return, which means that the existence of tax incentives does not have a significant effect on increasing compliance in reporting the Annual Tax Return, while tax socialization, and taxpayer understanding have a significant effect on increasing compliance in reporting the Annual Tax Return. In conclusion, the implementation of tax incentive policies does not have a positive effect on the reporting of Annual Tax Returns. In this study, no significant positive influence was found between tax incentive policies on MSME Annual Tax Return Reporting. Although all respondents are taxpayers who have reported the Annual Tax Return and some answered that they are aware of the tax incentives, they generally still pay taxes according to the amount of tax they usually pay in the previous months.

Trial results showed that the system was able to optimise water usage by 30% compared to manual methods, while increasing plant growth by 20% in a three-month observation period. In addition, the solution supports local community participation with technical training, creating new economic opportunities through productive crop cultivation. This innovation is expected to become a sustainability model that can be replicated in other regions, integrating IoT technology in supporting resource efficiency, community empowerment, and environmental conservation. This research concludes that the application of IoT technology in community-based environmental management can accelerate the achievement of economic and ecological sustainability goals in tourist areas.
Perceiving precedence: Order of operations errors are predicted by perception of equivalent expressions
Authors: Bye Jeffrey Kramer , Chan Jenny Yun-Chen , Closser Avery H. , Lee Ji-Eun , Shaw Stacy T. , Ottmar Erin R.
Published: December 2024

Students often perform arithmetic using rigid problem-solving strategies that involve left-to-right-calculations. However, as students progress from arithmetic to algebra, entrenchment in rigid problem-solving strategies can negatively impact performance as students experience varied problem representations that sometimes conflict with the order of precedence (the order of operations). Research has shown that the syntactic structure of problems, and students’ perceptual processes, are involved in mathematics performance and developing fluency with precedence. We examined 837 U.S. middle schoolers’ propensity for precedence errors on six problems in an online mathematics game. We included an algebra knowledge assessment, math anxiety measure, and a perceptual math equivalence task measuring quick detection of equivalent expressions as predictors of students’ precedence errors. We found that students made more precedence errors when the leftmost operation was invalid (addition followed by multiplication). Individual difference analyses revealed that students varied in propensity for precedence errors, which was better predicted by students’ performance on the perceptual math equivalence task than by their algebra knowledge or math anxiety. Students’ performance on the perceptual task and interactive game provide rich insights into their real-time understanding of precedence and the role of perceptual processes in equation solving.
A Framework for Case Simulation Surveys: Advancing Clinical Diagnosis Decision-Making
Authors: Lim Jared , Zhao Michael
Published: December 2024

Introduction:
Case simulation surveys enhance diagnostic criteria. This review presents an approach to developing such surveys, highlighting the need for standardized methods in studying rare and complex pathologies to improve patient outcomes.
 
Methods:
An in-depth literature review was conducted using PubMed with search terms: "Decision Analysis," "Forced-Choice," and "Classification Criteria". These terms were chosen to cover a broad range of relevant literature on decision-making frameworks and diagnostic criteria development. Studies on systemic sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus were selected to illustrate complex conditions with which case simulation surveys are effective. The methodology includes: 1) Reviewing literature to identify clinical characteristics; 2) Designing a representative base case; 3) Developing case variations; 4) Piloting the survey with experts; and 5) Analyzing results statistically.
 
Results:
This approach was effectively applied in studies of systemic sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus. From these examples, we identified key elements and best practices that contributed to developing a more standardized approach. This included designing a base case, systematically developing case variations, and piloting the surveys with expert audiences. This iterative process addressed challenges such as case specificity and the oversight of rare presentations, resulting in a more reliable methodology. This paper discusses these advancements, demonstrating how the standardized methodology enhances the consistency and applicability of case simulation surveys in clinical research.
 
Conclusion:
Systematically developed case simulation surveys are powerful tools for improving diagnostic techniques and classification criteria. They enable researchers to study clinical decision-making in controlled environments, significantly contributing to refining diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols.

Published: December 2024

CAPEC is an effort
coordinated by MITRE Corporation. Its aim is attack pattern database structured
in taxonomies. CAPEC is available as XML document from its project site. CAPEC
structure and content are under permanent change and development. It is still
not mature database but may be never will.CAPEC, CWE, and CVE
are databases devoted to attacks, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities. They refer
each other forming a knowledge ecosystem in cybersecurity
area.Traditional approach for knowledge presentation as
information does not work well with conceptualizations under dynamics of this
ecosystem and particularly of CAPEC. In this paper, an alternative approach to
CAPEC knowledge presentation is proposed, as ontology. First, CAPEC structure
and content are discussed and then ontology structure is introduced. CAPEC as
ontology opens doors to ``open world'' concept that is more adequate
to ecosystem dynamics.CAPEC ontology is programmatically
generated from CAPEC database.CAPEC ontology generator in
