Pterocarpus erinaceus is a multi-purpose species threatened with extinction. The present study aims to contribute to the improvement of multiplication and nursery growth of Pterocarpus erinaceus hulled seeds. To this end, four pre-treatments were applied to Pterocarpus erinaceus hulled seeds to lift their dormancy in order to facilitate germination of the species. These were: untreated seeds as Control (To), soaking in ordinary water for 24 h (T1), soaking in hot water at 60°C (T2) and soaking in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) for 20 min (T3). Germination parameters such as germination rate, germination time and average germination time were evaluated. Growth in height, diameter, number of leaves and root length were determined. Germination data and growth parameters were collected. Analyses showed that soaking shelled seeds in ordinary water for 24 h was the best treatment, with a germination rate of 43%. Pre-treatment of the seeds with sulfuric acid for 20 min showed the lowest germination rate (1%), due to the sensitivity of the seeds. Furthermore, these pre-treatments had no effect on seedling growth in the nursery. Those interested in producing Pterocarpus erinaceus seedlings are advised to soak shelled seeds in ordinary water for 24 hours to ensure better germination in the nursery.

Village forest fragments play a crucial role in wildlife conservation. However, limited information is available on their mammalian diversity. To address this gap, this study was conducted in the Wadrékro Village forest, located in the Oumé department, to identify the mammalian fauna inhabiting the area. The survey involved cataloging mammal species through linear transects and reconnaissance walks (recce). Pedestrian surveys recorded 14 mammal species, grouped into 9 families and 3 orders: Artiodactyla, Rodentia, and Carnivora. These orders are representative of the major mammal groups found in better-preserved areas of the country. Specifically, Tragelaphus scriptus and Thryonomys swinderianus were the most frequently observed species. According to the IUCN Red List, all recorded mammal species are classified as Least Concern (LC), except for Hippopotamus amphibius, which is categorized as Vulnerable (VU). Rural forest patches can therefore contribute to wildlife conservation, particularly for mammalian species.

Published: October 2024

Understanding user preferences for different types of automation is necessary for user-centred designof automation across various sectors. We introduce the Preference for Automation Types Scale (PATS),grounded in the Model of Types and Levels of Automation, providing researchers and practitioners ascale measuring individual preferences for automation vs. human control across four key functions:information acquisition, information analysis, decision selection, and action implementation. Item generation aligned closely with the automation literature and iterated in expert interviews, andpre-testing with users. Three empirical studies assessed dimensionality, reliability, and validity acrossdiverse contexts: generative AI for essay writing (N = 107), an e-commerce decision support system(DSS) for vacation planning (N = 126), and a route-planning DSS used by international seafarers (N =172). Results confirmed theorised dimensionality and demonstrated strong internal consistency andreliability, with the scale effectively differentiating user preferences for automation types acrosscontexts. Construct validity analysis showed that PATS was suitable for evaluating user dispositionstoward automation types but not for detecting shifts in preferences due to system use. Altogether, wedemonstrate that the PATS is a valuable tool for understanding users and work contexts in thedevelopment of automation systems, grounded in a classical human-automation interaction model.
Intercultural Competence at Work: The Origins of an Implicit Trait Policy
Authors: Schelfhout Stijn , Lippens Louis , Derous Eva
Published: October 2024

An implicit trait policy (ITP) on intercultural competence reflects a worker’s self-beliefs regarding effectiveness of behavior in an intercultural work situation. A worker’s ITP thus integrates the worker’s competence on endorsement or selection of effective behavior like intensifying intercultural contacts and avoidance or rejection of ineffective behavior like discrimination. The present study researches to which extent selection and rejection have different origins by mapping worker data (N = 3,310) from a large governmental public employment service located in Belgium, Flanders onto the present study’s updated ITP framework of intercultural competence. Results show that a worker’s competence to avoid ineffective behavior like discrimination originates independently and partially different from the worker’s ability to endorse effective behavior like intensifying intercultural contacts. These results also trend further towards two actual behavioral outcomes. For instance, both processes of effective selection and rejection of behavior are relevant for the worker’s intensity of intercultural contacts. However, only rejection remains relevant for avoiding the display of discriminatory behavior in the future. Therefore, a work floor intervention to promote intercultural contacts needs a different approach than preventing discrimination, as both outcomes could originate differently. The results of the present study thus predict that the key to a successful work floor intervention resides in addressing the appropriate ITP origins in order to select or reject the targeted intercultural behavior.
Exercise-induced muscle fatigue leads to changes in gait-related parameters among older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Voorn Paul Benjamin , Oomen Remco , Buczny Jacek , Bossen Daniël , Visser Bart , Pijnappels Mirjam
Published: October 2024

Background: Exercise-induced fatigue is a common consequence of physical activities. Particularly in older adults, it can affect gait performance. Due to a wide variety in fatiguing protocols and gait parameters used in experimental settings, pooled effects are not yet clear. Furthermore, specific elements of fatiguing protocols (i.e., intensity, duration, and type of activity) might lead to different changes in gait parameters. We aimed to systematically quantify to what extent exercise-induced fatigue alters gait in community-dwelling older adults, and whether specific elements of fatiguing protocols could be identified.Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. In September 2022 and April 2023, we searched through PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane and CINAHL databases. Two independent researchers screened and assessed articles using ASReview, Rayyan, and ROBINS-I. We extracted data related to spatiotemporal, stability, and variability gait parameters of healthy older adults (55+) before and after a fatiguing protocol or prolonged physical exercise. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed on both absolute and non-absolute effect sizes in RStudio. Moderator analyses were performed on six clusters of gait parameters (Dynamic Balance, Lower Limb Kinematics, Regularity, Spatio-temporal Parameters, Symmetry, Velocity). Results: We included 573 effect sizes on gait parameters from 31 studies. The included studies reflected a total population of 761 older adults (57% female), with a mean age of 71 (SD 3) years. Meta-analysis indicated that exercise-induced fatigue affected gait with a standardized mean change of 0.31 (p<.001). Moderator analyses showed no statistical differences between the different clusters. Within clusters, the effects were non-uniform, resulting in an overall effect that was indistinguishable from zero. The fatiguing protocols’ duration, intensity, or type of activity did not moderate effects.Discussion: Due to the (mainly) low GRADE certainty scores as a result of the heterogeneity between studies, and possible different strategies to cope with fatigue between participants, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that older adults, therapist, and researchers should be aware of the small to moderate changes in gait parameters as a result of exercise-induced fatigue. No changes in specific clusters, nor important elements of fatiguing protocols were identified.

Authors: Iqbal Muhammad Hammad , Naveen Bachan  , Muhammad Abdullah Khan  , Mehmood Mushtaq Subhani
Published: October 2024

This review paper explores the combined use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and artificial intelligence (AI), particularly focusing on the you only look once (YOLO) algorithm in construction. It explores the current use of these technologies in construction and proposes future use in road construction. Through a systematic review of recent studies, this paper highlights how these technologies are applied in various aspects of construction, such as real-time progress monitoring, pavement distress (PD) detection, and safety inspections. While UAVs and AI are proving valuable in current applications, there are still areas that require further exploration, including automated volume calculation and comprehensive inspection of roads. The findings suggest that integrating UAVs with AI can significantly enhance construction task's speed, accuracy, and automation, particularly in road projects. The integration of UAVs and AI is still an early concept in some aspects of road construction, so the paper also explores potential future applications. By exploring and addressing these gaps, this review hopes to inspire a more efficient and cost-effective future in the construction industry.
Investigating the Accuracy of Eddy Current Simulation and Evaluation for Rail Testing
Authors: Friedrich Alexander
Published: October 2024

Eddy current testing is a non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique that is widely used for testing railway rails with a strong focus on detecting cracks. In this paper, we investigate the accuracy of eddy current simulation and eddy current evaluation in the context of rail testing. We focus on analyzing the numerical accuracy of BEM simulations depending on the mesh size relative to the skin depth, and on estimating the influence of simplifying assumptions for cracks. Specifically, we consider the defect width, surface geometry, testing train velocity and material parameter change. We provide relative error estimates and we propose a regime for systematic rail defect simulation.
Social reorientation of emotion regulation: Changing roles of family and peers during adolescence
Authors: Ho Erica , Joormann Jutta , Kober Hedy , Gadassi Polack Reuma
Published: October 2024

The emotional climate of the family and peer group are theorized to play a central role in the development of emotion regulation (ER) in children and adolescents, such that warmer, more supportive environments promote more effective ER. However, most studies demonstrating associations between social interactions and ER use have focused on individual differences in the regulation of negative affect. This study is the first to investigate whether social interactions with family versus peers are differentially associated with ER, of both negative and positive affect, using a unique multi-timescale approach in which daily assessments were nested within a longitudinal design. Our sample included 112 youths, ages 8-15 at baseline and racially/ethnically representative of our northeast American recruitment area, who completed two waves of daily diaries (21 and 28 days) approximately one year apart. Every evening, participants reported the number and valence of interactions they had had with family members and friends, and their use of ER strategies, producing a total of 5,074 diary entries. We found evidence that: (1) experiencing more positive interpersonal events was associated with greater use of effective ER strategies, whereas experiencing more negative interpersonal events was associated with greater use of counterproductive ER strategies; and (2) family events were more strongly associated with ER changes in younger youths, while friend events were more strongly associated with ER changes in older youths. Altogether, our results provide novel evidence for a social reorientation effect in ER development, highlighting the lasting influence of close relationships during the transition to adolescence.
Free Time, Sharper Mind: A Computational Dive into Working Memory Improvement
Authors: Kowialiewski Benjamin , Majerus Steve
Published: October 2024

Extra free time improves working memory (WM) performance. This free-time benefit becomes larger across successive serial positions, a phenomenon recently labeled the “fanning-out effect”. Different mechanisms can account for this phenomenon. In this study, we implemented these mechanisms computationally and tested them experimentally. We ran three experiments that varied the time people were allowed to encode items, as well as the order in which they recalled them. Experiment 1 manipulated the free-time benefit in a paradigm in which people recalled items either in forward or backward order. Experiment 2 used the same forward-backward recall paradigm coupled with a distractor task at the end of encoding. Experiment 3 used a cued recall paradigm in which items were tested in random order. In all three experiments, the best-fitting model of the free-time benefit included (1) a consolidation mechanism whereby a just-encoded item continues to be re-encoded as a function of the total free-time available and (2) a stabilization mechanism whereby items become more resistant to output interference with extra free time. Mechanisms such as decay and refreshing, as well as models based on the replenishment of encoding-resources, were not supported by our data.
Memory benefit after exploring a novel virtual environment: There is more than spatial novelty
Authors: Servais Anaïs , Bastin Christine
Published: October 2024

Animal studies show that novelty boosts memory for unrelated information encountered shortly after the novel experience. Evidence for this effect is less clear in humans. Virtual reality (VR) is often used to simulate spatial novelty in the laboratory, but has led to conflicting results. Schomaker et al. (2014) found that participants recalled more words when encoding followed a novel rather than familiar exploration, which we failed to replicate in two previous studies. Instead, we observed enhanced recall after the first exposure to VR, regardless of the environment being novel or familiar. This suggested distinct types of novelty: spatial novelty resulting from exploring a novel environment and distinct novelty arising from initial exposure to VR. In this study, we investigated the effect of VR, as a distinct novelty, on memory in 35 younger and 32 older adults. We compared memory performance after exploring a VR environment (distinct experience), after exploring another environment through watching a documentary (more common experience) or after no exploration. Results showed better recall after the VR compared to the other conditions, and this effect was modulated by the subjective scores of VR novelty. Despite lower episodic memory performance, older participants benefited as much as the young participants from the VR compared to watching the documentary. We discuss how VR is more than spatial and distinct novelty. VR is a strong tool that fosters positive emotions, feeling of presence, motivation, and self-efficacy, which make it valuable for clinical application in memory rehabilitation.
Exploring the role of visual similarity in parafoveal processing: Insights from the Flanking Letter Lexical Decision Task.
Authors: Brossette Brice , Lété Bernard
Published: October 2024

This study explores the impact of visually similar flanking stimuli on central target words using the Flanking Letter Lexical Decision (FLLD) task. Specifically, we investigated whether visual similarity effects can explain orthographic relatedness effects observed in previous FLLD tasks. By employing non-reversal mirror letters as visual flankers, we compared their influence on response times to traditional orthographic-related and orthographic-unrelated conditions. Results confirmed the known facilitative effect of orthographic-related flankers on response times (ROCK ROCK ROCK). However, mirror-related conditions showed no facilitative effect (ROCK ROCK ROCK), as evidenced by a Bayesian analysis indicating no significant differences between mirror-related and mirror-unrelated (STEP ROCK STEP). These findings suggest that low-level visual information in the parafovea does not contribute to the processing of the foveal word in tasks requiring specific word identification. The study concludes that only parafoveal information with relevant linguistic content is spatially pooled across target and flankers during word identification tasks. This research highlights the need to consider task-specific attentional demands and the linguistic relevance of parafoveal information in understanding visual and orthographic processing in reading.

Published: October 2024

Purpose: This study investigates the anxiety levels of patients who have undergone surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) and the impact of this condition on their post-operative recovery process.
Materials and methods: The study group consisted of 71 patients and the control group consisted of 65 healthy individuals. The study assessed the patients' pain, disability and anxiety levels. The results show that the patients' anxiety levels are higher than those of the general population, and that anxiety levels increase even more in patients with high pain and disability scores. Postoperative State Anxiety (SA) and Trait Anxiety (TA) scores were compared between DLSS patients and healthy individuals. The anxiety scores of the patient group were analyzed in relation to age, gender, pain, physical disability and postoperative period.
Results: It was found that the SA scores were statistically significantly higher in the pain group. It was found that the SA scores of patients were statistically significantly different according to their physical disability status. It was also found that both the painful early postoperative group and the painful late postoperative group had higher SA scores than the painless early postoperative group and the painless late postoperative group.
Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of considering pain, physical activity, and anxiety together in supporting the postoperative recovery process. It is suggested that holistic approaches that focus on pain, physical disability and anxiety may have a positive impact on recovery. More extensive and prospective studies are needed to clarify the causal relationship between these concepts

Published: October 2024

This research analyzes the Multicultural Islamic Religious Education Learning (MIREL) at SMKN 1 Poso in building religious harmony as a conflict resolution. Conflict socio-religious become a critical problem regarding diversity in schools and society. Meanwhile, Islamic religious education provided in schools does not prioritize a multicultural perspective, which includes the practices of different religions and other cultures. This study uses qualitative field research with a case study approach and data analysis, according to Miles and Huberman. Results show that this school carries out the MIREL formally-textual and informally-textual. Learning formally-textual is held through three stages. At the beginning stage, teachers contextualize the values of example and self-control through exemplary stories from the prophets. In the main stage, the teachers integrate the values of tolerance, harmony, democracy, unity, concern, and justice by presenting material that includes faith, morals, jurisprudence, and the history of Islamic culture. Teachers instill multicultural values of cooperation and responsibility in the closing stage by assigning group tasks. The school holds informally textual learning through the Religious Saturday program collaboration in cross-cultural, socio-religious, and humanitarian activities. This research has implications for strengthening the MIREL in schools to build sustainable religious harmony among students and society in the post-conflict area.

Uznanie niewłaściwe roszczenia a bieg terminu przedawnienia - uwagi ogólne
Authors: Wolak Grzegorz
Published: October 2024

Uznanie roszczenia jest instytucją prawną występującą zarówno na gruncie przepisów kodeksu cywilnego jak też, chociażby kodeksu postępowania cywilnego. Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest tylko tzw. niewłaściwemu uznaniu roszczenia (uznaniu długu) a po drugie tylko li tylko w kontekście jego wpływu na bieg terminu przedawnienia roszczenia. Zarówno w doktrynie, jak i w orzecznictwie natura prawna niewłaściwego uznania długu jest sporna. Osobiście jestem zdania, że jest ono oświadczeniem wiedzy (a nie oświadczeniem woli), do którego nie stosuje się całego rygoryzmu przepisów o czynnościach prawnych w szczególności dotyczących zasad reprezentacji osób prawnych. Na razie może być ono dokonane nie tylko wyraźnie, ale także, chociażby w sposób dorozumiany, a jego skutkiem jest zawsze przerwa biegu przedawnienia.

Spärliche Solidaritäten – Erfahrungen autonomer Aushandlungen sexualisierter Gewalt in den 1980er-Jahren
Authors: Fraeser Nina
Published: October 2024

Der Artikel greift in Vergessenheit geratene Suchbewegungen im Umgang mit sexualisierter Gewalt innerhalb der westdeutschen autonomen Bewegung der späten 1980er-Jahre auf, um diese im Kontext aktueller feministisch-abolitionistischer Perspektiven zu diskutieren. Geprägt durch feministische Politiken, der radikalen Ablehnung von Staatlichkeit, sowie einem hohen Grad an Selbstorganisierung des gesamten Lebens, erprobten Gruppen in der antifaschistischen und autonomen Szene unabgeschlossene Alternativen (McLeod 2013) dazu, wie sexualisierte Gewalt in strafrechtlichen Institutionen verhandelt wird. Die Forschung analysiert mittels bewegungshistorischer Dokumente aus den Jahren 1987/88 eine multilokale Debatte, in der nach Möglichkeiten eines politischen Umgangs mit Gewalt gerungen wurde. In den ausgewerteten Beiträgen wird das Ideal praktischer Solidarität als gemeinsame und verantwortungsvolle Handlungsfähigkeit beschrieben, die sich sowohl an strukturellen Veränderungen autonomer Kollektive orientiert, als auch an den Bedürfnissen von Gewalt betroffener Personen.
Kreisen um Binarität. Sexualpädagogisches Geschlechterwissen zwischen Beharrung und Transformation
Authors: Bereswill Mechthild , Jochheim Lena , Stange Sabine
Published: October 2024

Der Aufsatz leistet einen Beitrag zur Geschlechterforschung aus einer wissenssoziologischen Perspektive. Er untersucht Beharrung und Wandel mehrerer Spielarten von Geschlechterwissen (Wetterer) an den Schnittstellen von Sexualität und Geschlecht. Dafür rekonstruiert er Deutungsmuster auf der Grundlage von Expert*inneninterviews mit Fachkräften in der sexuellen Bildung, die bei einer einflussreichen Institution im Feld der Sexualpolitik und Sexualpädagogik beschäftigt sind. Die Rekonstruktion zeigt sowohl binäre Kodierungen, die unter anderem mit Ungleichheit legitimiert werden, als auch Öffnungen und die Überwindung von Binarität. Hierdurch entstehen Handlungsparadoxien in sexualpädagogischen Settings, die darauf verweisen, dass wissenschaftliche Ansätze zur (De)konstruktion von Geschlecht und Geschlechterdifferenz nicht bruchlos an die Praxis sexueller Bildung anschließen können. Mit dem Deutungswissen von sexualpädagogischen Fachkräften müssen Passungen zu bildungspolitischen und pädagogischen Diskursen, aber auch zu alltäglichen Geschlechterdiskursen und den Lebenswelten der Adressat*innen hergestellt werden.

Diversity of Thought Elicits Stronger Reasoning Capabilities in Multi-Agent Debate Frameworks
Authors: Hegazy Mahmood
Published: October 2024

Large language models (LLMs) excel in natural language generation but often confidently produce incorrect responses, especially in tasks like mathematical reasoning. Chain-of-thought prompting, self-verification, and multi-agent debate are among the strategies proposed to improve the reasoning and factual accuracy of LLMs. Building on Du et al.’s multi-agent debate framework[1], we find that multi-agent debate helps at any model scale, and that diversity of thought elicits stronger reasoning in debating LLMs. Across various model sizes, performance on mathematical reasoning tasks benefits most when diverse trained models are used. Remarkably, after 4 rounds of debate, a diverse set of medium-capacity models (Gemini-Pro, Mixtral 7B\(\times8\), and PaLM 2-M) outperforms GPT-4 on the GSM-8K benchmark, scoring 91% accuracy. By comparison, when 3 instances of Gemini-Pro are used, performance only reaches 82%. Finally, this diverse set of medium-capacity models sets a new state-of-the-art performance on the ASDiv benchmark (94%). These results underscore the idea that the future of AI is agentic, with diverse cooperating agents yielding emergent capabilities beyond even the most powerful individual models.
Empowering Dysarthric Speech: Leveraging Advanced LLMs for Accurate Speech Correction and Multimodal Emotion Analysis

Published: October 2024

Dysarthria or Dysarthric speech as called is kind of a motor speech disorder which is caused by neurological damage that affects the muscles for speech production, which results in slurred, slow, or difficult-to-understand speech which has been affecting millions of people worldwide including those with conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis, dysarthric presents a significant communication barrier, which impacts the quality of life and social interaction of individuals. The entire aim of this paper is to come up with a mechanism that can recognize and translate the speech of dysarthric users and empower their ability to communicate effectively. In this paper, we are proposing a novel approach leveraging Advanced Large Language models for accurate speech correction and multimodal emotion analysis. Our methodology involves converting dysarthric speech to text using OpenAI's whisper model, followed by fine-tuned open source models such as LlaMa 3.1 70B and Mistral 8x7B models on Groq AI accelerators to predict the intended sentences from distorted input speech accurately. The entire dataset used was made by combining TORGO dataset with Google speech data and then manually labeling emotional contexts. Our framework identifies emotions such as happiness, sadness, neutral, surprise, anger and fear highlighting the potential understanding of dysarthric speech. Our approach effectively reconsturcts the intended sentences and detects emotions with high accuracy.
Valós cél vagy játékszer?

Jelen tanulmány célja annak számbavétele, hogy a helyi és az országos népszavazási eljárást megújító, a népszavazás kezdeményezéséről, az európai polgári kezdeményezésről, valamint a népszavazási eljárásról szóló 2013. évi CCXXXVIII. törvény (Nsztv.) hatálybalépése óta milyen tendencia figyelhető meg a hatalomgyakorlás kivételes eszközének használata tekintetében helyben és országos szinten. Az egységes eljárásrendszerre törekvő jogalkotás egyazon irányba mozdította-e el a helyi és az országos népszavazás intézményét, vagyis függetlenül a területi kiterjedtségtől, a kezdeményezők és az érintett választási szervek részéről hasonló magatartással és joggyakorlással találkozunk, vagy épp ellenkezőleg: attól függően, hogy helyi vagy országos népszavazási kezdeményezésről van szó, a kezdeményezések a hatályos szabályozás teremtette hasonló keretek ellenére eltérő életutat járnak be? Ebből következően pedig adódik a kérdés, hogy a népszavazási kezdeményezés sorsát determinálja-e az, hogy az milyen (települési/területi vagy országos) szinten kívánja a választópolgárokat állásfoglalásra késztetni? A népszavazási típusok egymással összevetett vizsgálata alapján arra ez eredményre jutunk, hogy míg a helyi népszavazási kezdeményezések alapvetően megőrizték az intézmény célja szerinti szándékot, addig az országos népszavazási kezdeményezések sok esetben más politikai célokat szolgálnak. Előbbiek esetében ugyanis a közösség életét érintő gyakorlati kérdésben kívánják a szuverén döntését a szervezők, azzal a céllal, hogy a közösség a szándékaik szerinti, gyakorlati következményekkel járó döntést hoz. A számok azt mutatják, hogy ha nem is az esetek többségében, de reális esély van arra, hogy a helyi népszavazási kezdeményezések célba érjenek. Ezzel szemben az Nsztv. hatálybalépése óta egyetlen választópolgárok által kezdeményezett országos népszavazási kezdeményezés sem jutott el a népszavazás kitűzéséig. Az országos népszavazási kérdések jellemzően már a hitelesítési eljáráson sem jutnak túl. Emellett azonban voltak olyan kérdések, amelyek esetében a szervezők megkezdhették az aláírásgyűjtést, de az nem vezetett sikerre. Ezek közül több esetben azt mutatta a szervezői „aktivitás”, hogy a kezdeményezés mögött talán nem is volt valós népszavazási szándék.
