How design fiction helps designers to work with groups and council authorities
Authors: Wang Yuxuan
Published: April 2024

This report discusses the role that design fiction could play in service design using a case study provided by MA Service Design students at University of the Arts London, in which service design is applied to the designing of public services. Design fiction is currently not recognized as a service design tool, though it has become a part of service design education. This article documents the use of design fiction as a communication tool to connect with users in challenging circumstances and provides a framework with which to develop service design in order for services to better meet users’ needs and to reach more people.

Published: April 2024

A cultura do repolho possui importância econômica para pequenos produtores rurais, além de ser fundamental na alimentação humana, sendo uma das hortaliças mais consumidas no país, o que demanda tecnologias, mais sustentáveis e de baixo custo, para o seu cultivo. Dessa forma, o objetivo foi analisar a influência da adubação com biofetilizante enriquecido com microorganismos eficazes (EM-4) no desenvolvimento do repolho liso (Brassica oleracea var. capitata.) em manejo agroecológico de produção. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualisados com quatro tratamentos: (T1 – 0,0%; T2 – 5,0% (0,25 L da solução inoculada para 5 L de água mineral sem cloro); T3 - 10% (0,5 L da solução inoculada para 5 L de água mineral sem cloro) e T4 – 20% (0,75 L da solução inoculada para 5 L de água mineral sem cloro) e 5 repetições. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e regressão linear. As características circunferência, diâmetro longitudinal, diâmetro transversal, massa fresca comercial, peso com folhas, teor de nitrogênio, proteína e umidade apresentaram efeitos significativos em resposta às doses de EM-4. Em geral, o modelo de regressão com melhor ajuste foi o quadrático, sendo os pontos de máximo próximos da dose 10% de microorganismos eficazes (EM-4), sendo esta indicada para cultivos de repolho sob manejo agroecológico de produção.
A framework for investigating immigrant students’ attitudes towards science, exemplified with data from Turkish families
Authors: Altunbas Havva Görkem , Mulcahy Marian , Reiss Michael J
Published: April 2024

In this article, we draw on sociocultural, cognitive and affective perspectives to investigate the factors lying behind immigrant school students’ attitudes and aspirations towards science. We combine Deci and Ryan’s self-determination theory and Bourdieu’s theory of cultural and social capital to produce a new theoretical framework for understanding how these factors operate. One part of our framework focuses on students’ cognitive and affective resources, such as enjoyment, self-efficacy, engagement and intrinsic motivation. Another relates to students’ sociocultural resources, such as gender, class, home language, parental expectations and perceived teacher encouragement, which are filtered through notions of field and students’ immigrant status. We then exemplify this framework by exploring the attitudes towards science of two Turkish immigrant secondary school students in England, as revealed by questionnaires that they completed and interviews with them and their parent(s). Our tentative conclusion is that our theoretical framework, in its combination of a Bourdieusian perspective and Deci and Ryan’s self-determination theory, may help make sense of why some immigrant school students continue with science and others do not.

Published: April 2024

O jenipapeiro (Genipa americana L.) é uma espécie frutífera amplamente distribuída no Brasil, ainda não domesticada e que apresenta importantes atributos nutricionais e ecológicos. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o enriquecimento, conservação e a caracterização dos acessos do Banco Ativo de Germoplasma de jenipapeiro da Embrapa Tabuleiros Costeiros. O BAG está localizado no município de Nossa Senhora das Dores, Sergipe, Brasil e é composto por 28 acessos representados por 254 indivíduos. Foram usados 15 descritores morfológicos (nove qualitativos e seis quantitativos) e cinco índices morfométricos, além do enriquecimento, taxa de sobrevivência, taxa de frutificação e pesquisas realizadas ao longo de 13 anos de existência do BAG. Houve êxito no enriquecimento, e na manutenção da diversidade. Com exceção de dois acessos que tiveram 50% de sobrevivência, os demais apresentaram entre 80 e 100%. O tronco liso foi observado apenas no acesso BA, da espécie G. infundibuliformis, oriundo da Bahia. A presença de tricomas e ramificação horizontal foram especificas do acesso CV, que também apresentou a maior altura média. O CV é da espécie G. americana, oriundo de população natural de Cascavel, Ceará. O BAG possui ampla diversidade, acessos vigorosos e adaptados. O conhecimento dos descritores e da diversidade existente no germoplasma irá subsidiar estratégias de conservação e direcionar futuras pesquisas.
Viscosity model based on Giesekus equation
Authors: Kim Sun Kyoung
Published: April 2024

This work presents a viscosity model based on the Giesekus equation. The model is shown to be more flexible than the Cross and Carreau models in representing the shear-thinning behavior of viscoelastic fluids. It has been investigated that the influence of the model parameters on the viscosity showed that the mobility parameter α plays a distinctive role in adjusting the inflection shape of the viscosity curve. The results show that the new model is able to accurately capture the shear-thinning behavior of polystyrene data, while the Cross and Carreau models tend to underestimate and overestimate the viscosity at the inflection point, respectively. It has been also shown that the Yasuda-type modification is also applicable to the proposed model. Moreover, the viscosity model has been applied to simultaneously fitting a polymeric liquid system and a particulate slurry system. The new viscosity model is a promising tool for modeling the shear-thinning behavior of viscoelastic fluids in a wide range of applications.

A new single modulating and single carrier signal based control technique for symmetrical and asymmetrical multilevel inverter topology
Authors: Bhanuchandar Aratipamula , Murthy Bhagwan K.
Published: April 2024

In literature, to generate gate pulses for any inverter topology, most of the authors are using a single modulating signal with (level-1) or (level-1)/2 carrier-based pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques and single carrier (SC) signal with (level-1)/2 modulating signal based PWM techniques. Then, while going to higher-level inverter topologies, the complexity of the PWM control approach in both cases can increase. To reduce the control complexity, few authors have reported a single modulating signal with single carrier-based PWM techniques. However, these techniques need more mathematical equations and if-else loops. This article proposes a new single-modulating and single-carrier signal-based generalized PWM control approach using floor function (FF). This technique has been verified by considering one of the single-phase conventional symmetrical and asymmetrical multilevel inverter (MLI) topologies. Generally, FF rounds the value to the nearest integer towards the negative infinity. The proposed PWM control implementation process is very simple and suitable for both high switching frequency (HSF) and low switching frequency (LSF) operations. The proposed control technique (PCT) has been experimentally verified with different steady-state and transient-state studies of results under standalone operation.

Published: April 2024

Objective

Olfactory Nerve Schwannomas (ONS) affect cranial nerve I (CN I), responsible for the sense of smell. This systematic review aims to comprehensively examine the risk factors, etiology, clinical presentation, and management of ONS by analyzing 44 case reports/series published from 1978 to 2022.

Methods

Our systematic review utilized a comprehensive search strategy across various scientific databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science in March 2023. The inclusion and exclusion criteria included minimum information on demographics (i.e., age), clinical presentation, syndrome, area involved, and extent of resection. The selected articles were case reports, so there is no question about bias. Articles were meticulously reviewed for the above information and underwent both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Results

A total of 44 case reports/series, consisting of 45 patients, were included in this study (mean: 38.45). The anterior cranial fossa was the most frequently involved area (48 %). The most common surgical procedure was bifrontal craniotomy (n=16), followed by left frontal craniotomy (n=7). Approximately 95.5 % of patients underwent Gross Total Resection (GTR), while 4.5 % had Subtotal Resection (STR). Radiotherapy was applied to two patients. Olfactory function varied, with 35.5 % preserving it and 28.88 % experiencing damage or loss. Positive outcomes were observed in approximately 66.6 % of cases, with complications reported in 15 % of instances, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea and diplopia.

Conclusions

Long-term follow-up and regular screening of patients are imperative. Further research is essential to elucidate the precise pathogenesis and to develop improved treatment modalities for ONS. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge regarding ONS; however, as the disease is very rare, only case reports are available as a primary study, making it difficult to reach a strong conclusion.
Activity profiling of natural and synthetic SARS-Cov-2 inhibitors using molecular docking analysis
Authors: Ohaekenyem Emmanuel C. , Onyema Chukwuebuka T. , Atawodi Sunday E.
Published: April 2024

COVID-19, the global pandemic caused by SARS-Corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), recently ravaged the World with various efforts charged towards finding therapeutic drug targets for this novel virus. The identification of COVID-19 main protease (Mpro) opened the possibility of testing new families of inhibitors as potential anti-coronaviral drugs. Protein-drug interaction is of pivotal importance to understanding the structural features essential for any ligand affinity. This study evaluated the efficacy of an isolated bioactive plant compound and synthetic tetraazamacrocycles against COVID-19 Mpro by molecular docking. Molecular docking investigations were performed using PyRx, Auto Dock vina and Discovery Studio (DS) to analyze the inhibition probability of these compounds against COVID-19. COVID-19 Mpro (PDB ID: 6LU7: Resolution 2.16 Å) was docked with 1 flavonoid and 3 tetraaza-macrocyclic compounds comparatively with known anti-viral drugs (Remdesivir (REMD) and Nelfinavir (NELF)) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Docking studies showed H-TEAD, 5 interacting with 5 residues having the highest binding affinity of −9.4 kcal/mol, followed by TEAD with 5 residue interactions and a binding affinity value of −9.4 kcal/mol, HA-TEAD, 7 has 5 interactions with a binding affinity of −9.3 kcal/mol, and Siam1 has 6 interactions with a binding energy of −7.8 kcal/mol. All the docked potential drugs have binding energies higher than the reference drugs HCQ, 1 and REMD, 2 connoting greater activity except NELF, 3 whose value is only lower than the 3 macrocycles (HA-TEAD, 7 and H-TEAD, 5 and TEA1, 6). They are bound through hydrogen bonds, arene-anion and arene-cation interactions. The trend of binding affinity show H-TEAD (−9.4 kcal/mol) = TEAD1 (−9.4 kcal/mol) > HA-TEAD (−9.3 kcal/mol) > NELF (−8.7 kcal/mol) > Siamone (−8.8 kcal/mol) > HCQ (−7.2 kcal/mol) > REMD (−6.2 kcal/mol) while the number of interactions shows REMD > HA-TEAD = HCQ > Siamone > NELF > H-TEAD > TEAD1. This study, hence, validates the activity of HCQ against COVID-19 and provides a foundation for advanced experimental research, to evaluate the real pharmaceutical potentials of these compounds, towards finding a cure for COVID-19 and other related diseases.

This article is intended as an introduction to discuss the development of a modelling framework to examine simulated climate change and river discharge regulation and their combined impact on marine conditions in the Hudson Bay Complex as a contribution to BaySys, a collaborative project between Manitoba Hydro, Hydro-Quebec, the University of Manitoba, the University of Alberta, Université Laval and Ouranos. In support of this work, a sea ice and oceanographic model was improved and then used to further study the effects of freshwater loading and ice cover on the circulation of Hudson Bay. This modelling perspective is based on the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) ocean general circulation model coupled to version 2 of the Louvain-la-Neuve sea ice model (LIM2). The goal of the modelling was to provide a framework and tool for simulating projected changes in marine state and dynamic variables, while also enabling an integration of observations and numerical analyses. A key aspect of this work was the climate-hydrologic-ocean model integration aspect. The inclusion of a biogeochemical model and explicit tidal forcing to examine the evolution of a Canadian marginal sea with century-long integrations was also a novel aspect of the work. Overall, this work examines the NEMO modelling configuration used in BaySys, how it is set up and the experiments carried out. A broader picture evaluation of the model output is made including the BaySys mooring observations, showing that the modelling framework is suitable to examine the posed questions on the role of climate change and river regulation.

Published: April 2024

In today's world, information technology is actively used in all spheres of life. The information component also plays a significant role in the formation of a competitive specialist. The article presents the understanding of the information society as a stage of development of post-industrial society, describes the features that distinguish such a society from allprevious forms of society. The features of the information society with the differentiation of its positive and negative features according to the influence on the development of the individual and the state are also structured. It is emphasized that the basis of the information society is information, knowledge and technology.The change of priorities of social development towards the active use of information and communication technologies has led to the impact on the education sector. This process is interpreted as the informatization of education.Informatization of education has components: didactic – development of methods and means of teaching and education with the help of information and communication technologies, content–filling educational material with modern achievements of information technologies for future professional realization of students, organizational – active use of modern forms of education (distance education, e-education, non-formal education) management – the use of digital technologies in the management of the educational process, the introduction of a corporate model of management of higher education.The main task of higher education is to train a competitive specialist capable of rapid adaptation to changing labor marketconditions, self-education and self-realization.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING OF THE INTERPRETERS UNDER THE EFFECTIVE INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Authors: Tsaryk Olha , Rybina Nataliia , Koshil Nataliia , Hyryla Olha
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of professional training of interpreters in the framework of intercultural communication. The authors substantiate the expediency of training translation specialists to take into account the correct interpretation not only of specific words and phrases, but also the content of each sentence in the context of the general meaning of the material in the future. The work emphasizes the need to pay attention to the specifics of translation, where there is a difference in the semantic meaning of different cultural terms, and a professionally trained translator in most cases must interpret what is said in another language, avoiding glaring errors, inaccuracies and interpretations in the opposite sense. The authors claim that when considering translation, it becomes important to understand that communication is a kind of interaction between individuals, in which subjects communicating with each other act as subjects of culture, representatives of a certain linguo-socio-cultural community, and translation, being a kind of mediation, is not only a means of interlingual, but also intercultural communication.

Authors: Kirdan Olena
Published: April 2024

The actualization of research on the problem of charitable and philanthropic support for the formation of higher education institutions of Ukraine is due to the fact that constructive retro-experience has prospects for use for the post-war recovery and development of modern institutions of higher education in Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to analyze the experience of charitable and philanthropic support for the establishment of higher education institutions in Ukraine at the beginning of the 19th century. Research methods. Achieving the goal of the article made it possible to use the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, concretization and generalization. The article specifies the main approaches to interpreting the concepts of «charity», «charitable activity», «patronage», «patronage activity». Based on the analysis of dissertations and scientific publications, it was established that the establishment of higher education institutions in Ukraine at the beginning of the 19th century took place with significant charitable and philanthropic support from broad sections of the population: nobles, craftsmen, former Cossacks, and peasants. It manifested itself in the provision of funds for the opening of higher education institutions, the transfer of material assets and land allotments, etc., which significantly supplemented budget funding. The value of the experience of charitable and philanthropic support for the formation and development of the system of higher education in Ukraine in the first half of the 19th century is indicated, since philanthropists were the initiators and sponsors of the opening of most universities, higher women's courses, lyceums and schools (gymnasiums) of higher sciences, and philanthropic support for the opening and development of universities and institutions of higher professional education in Ukraine in the 19th century became a common phenomenon.
PREPARATION OF FUTURE TEACHERS FOR BENEVOLENCE AND VOLUNTEERISM IN TIMES OF WAR
Authors: Bilavych Halyna , Prokopiv Liubov
Published: April 2024

The Ukrainian education system today faces extremely complex challenges, including a full-scale war that has been ongoing since 2014. Despite Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian education system continues to actively develop. The purpose of this article is to analyze certain aspects of preparing future teachers for benevolence and volunteerism in times of war. Emphasis is placed on the need to address the challenges of professional preparation in the face of modern challenges, focusing on shaping future teachers as nationally conscious patriots and citizens of Ukraine. To cultivate such individuals, it is necessary to draw upon Christian morality, as Christianity serves as a formative factor that enriches and strengthens one's spirit. Benevolence and charity are principles rooted in Christianity, qualities that have been intrinsic to Ukrainian culture throughout history, and values that should be particularly pronounced in professionals. These qualities are nurtured through students' participation in various charitable activities, diverse forms of philanthropy, and volunteer work. The results of active volunteer activities by students of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University and Ivan-Frankivsk College of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University lead to the conclusion that benevolence is being cultivated in them during their professional training in higher education institutions during wartime. This benevolent activity by students and teachers holds special significance in terms of support and assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), working with temporarily displaced persons' children, volunteer activities at the Gifted Child University, organizing master classes and sessions aimed at comprehensive personal development. Continuous support from the teaching staff and students in various forms of charitable activities, diverse forms of philanthropy, and active participation in volunteer organizations, among other efforts, attests to the widespread charitable movement in Ukraine, with educators and students at the forefront as volunteers and benefactors.
Entre recogimientos, vacunas e imprentas: el gobierno de Torivio Montes y las formas de ejercer el poder en un contexto posrevolucionario (Quito, 1812-1817)
Authors: Naranjo Robles Heidi Yazmín
Published: April 2024

This article constitutes an initial approach to the government of Torivio Montes as president of the Audiencia of Quito. What is considered here are certain ways in which Montes exercised power in the aftermath of an insurgent process (the Quito Revolution from 1809 to 1812). Like other royal officials, Montes participated in a certain ideal which had developed in the Spanish Monarchy during the 18th century: that governing meant above all guaranteeing order (the proper arrangement of things) in the kingdom. To examine the ways in which Montes tried to put that ideal into practice, two things are carried out: on the one hand, a rereading of research on this royal official and the independence process of Quito; on the other hand, a review of documentation produced by him and certain collaborators of his.

Assessing the Common Ownership Hypothesis in the US Banking Industry
Authors: Grundl Serafin , Gramlich Jacob
Published: April 2024

The U.S. banking industry is well suited to assess the common ownership hypothesis (COH), because thousands of private banks without common ownership (CO) compete with hundreds of public banks with high and increasing levels of CO. This paper assesses the COH in the banking industry using more comprehensive ownership data than previous studies. In simple comparisons of raw deposit rate averages we document that (i) private banks do offer substantially more attractive deposit rates than public banks, but (ii) the deposit rates of public banks are similar in markets without CO where a single public bank competes only with private rivals, and in markets with CO where multiple public banks compete with each other. Panel regressions of deposit rates on the profit weights implied by the COH are generally consistent with the COH if only quarter FEs (without other controls) are included but not if bank-quarter FEs are included. Estimates with bank-quarter FEs are “precise zeros” with 95% CIs suggesting that the threefold rise in CO among public banks between 2005 and 2022 moved their deposit rates by less than a quarter of a basis point in either direction. To assess the COH along non-price dimensions we also estimate the effect of CO on deposit quantities, and find that the estimates are also not consistent with the COH.
Does it Pay to Send Multiple Pre-Paid Incentives? Evidence from a Randomized Experiment
Authors: Chang Andrew C. , Hsu Joanne W. , Ma Eva , Bachtell Kate , Sjoblom Micah
Published: April 2024

To encourage survey participation and improve sample representativeness, the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) offers an unconditional pre-paid monetary incentive and separate post-paid incentive upon survey completion. We conducted a pre-registered between-subject randomized control experiment within the 2022 SCF, with at least 1,200 households per experimental group, to examine whether changing the pre-paid incentive structure affects survey outcomes. We assess the effects of: (1) altering the total dollar value of the pre-paid incentive (“incentive effect”), (2) giving two identical pre-paid incentives holding the total dollar value fixed (“reminder effect”), and (3) offering multiple pre-paid incentives of different amounts holding the total dollar value fixed (“slope effect”) on survey response rates, interviewer burden, and data quality. Our evidence indicates that a single $15 pre-paid incentive increases response rates and maintains similar levels of interviewer burden and data quality, relative to a single $5 pre-paid incentive. Splitting the $15 into two pre-paid incentives of different amounts increases interviewer burden though lengthening time in the field without improving response rates, reducing the number of contact attempts needed for a response, or improving data quality, regardless of whether the first pre-paid is larger or smaller than the second.
Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions Under Lender Scrutiny
Authors: QIu Buhui , Wang Teng
Published: April 2024

This paper examines corporate mergers and acquisitions (M and A) outcomes under lender scrutiny. Using the unique shocks of U.S. supervisory stress testing, we find that firms under increased lender scrutiny after their relationship banks fail stress tests engage in fewer but higher-quality M and A deals. Evidence from comprehensive supervisory data reveals improved credit quality for newly originated M and A-related loans under enhanced lender scrutiny. This improvement is further evident in positive stock return reactions to M and A deals financed by loans subject to enhanced lender scrutiny. As companies engage in fewer but higher-quality deals, they also experience higher returns on assets. Our findings highlight the importance of lender scrutiny in corporate M and A activities.

La inmersión en la transformación digital en salud: el salto a Paraguay
Authors: Mujica Serrana
Published: April 2024

En Paraguay, en 2018, se inició un proyecto de transformación digital en salud (TDS) para mejorar la atención médica. Es así como se estableció la estrategia de Salud Digital "Paraguay Transparente, Eficiente y Efectivo: Hoja de Ruta para la Transformación Digital del Sector Salud", como guía para implementar iniciativas digitales hasta 2024. Los hitos de esta estrategia fueron numerosos. De esta manera, en 2019, se lanzó un sistema semáforo para gestionar el stock de medicamentos, evitando escasez o exceso. En 2020, el hospital Villa Elisa logró digitalizar historias clínicas y mejorar así la atención médica a todos los pacientes. En el 2021, a través de la misma estrategia de digitalización se implementaron tanto el Registro Nacional de Personas con Diabetes como el Sistema Nominal de Vacunación para un seguimiento más preciso del seguimiento de las personas con diabetes mellitus, así como de los datos de vacunación. Con todos estos cambios en las políticas públicas sobre conectividad y alfabetización digital, Paraguay ha logrado avances significativos en la transformación digital, mejorando la atención, reduciendo costos y promoviendo la equidad. Este compromiso evidencia la búsqueda de una atención de calidad para todos los ciudadanos. A través de la tecnología y la colaboración, Paraguay avanza hacia un sistema de salud digitalizado y eficiente.
Adapting Whiteness Katherine of Aragon in Shakespeare and Fletcher’s All is True and Starz’s The Spanish Princess
Authors: Cheema Zainab
Published: April 2024

The sources influencing Shakespeare’s representation of racialized queens continue to shape popular media representations of queenship. In this article, I argue that Juan Luis Vives’ Instruction of a Christian Woman influenced Shakespeare’s representation of Katherine of Aragon’s idealized whiteness in All is True (Henry VIII). Moreover, I show how Vives and Shakespeare in turn influence Starz’s 2019 The Spanish Princess. Firstly, I how Vives represents the domestic space of the royal household a form of racial enclosure intended to manage the paradoxical confluence of the queen’s biological reproductivity and the social circulation of her image. Katherine’s patronage of Vives demonstrates her agency in cultivating her cult of queenship through gendered and racially charged notions of kinship, conduct, and labor. These tropes elevate the racial purity of the queen through and at the expense of lower class and enslaved peoples whose work is often rendered invisible. I also argue that Vives and Shakespeare’s praise of Katherine’s exemplary kinship, conduct and labor function as compensatory mechanisms that serve to reify Katherine’s whiteness even as her marriage to Henry VIII is failing. While Starz’s The Spanish Princess recasts Katherine of Aragon’s story through the contemporary lens of #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter, it nevertheless borrows from Shakespeare and Vives’ construction of queenly whiteness at the expense of racial others.
Adsorption Performance of Acidic Modified Fly Ash: Box–Behnken design
Authors: Küçük İlhan , Üstündağ Pınar
Published: April 2024

Fly ash (FA) and modified fly ash (mFA) were used as adsorbents to remove methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions. The adsorbents were characterized using crystal structures with XRD, surface functional groups with FTIR, and surface morphologies with SEM. Response surface methodology (RSM) with Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize adsorption parameters such as MB dye concentration (A: 10-20 mg/L), solution pH (B: 3-11), and contact time (C: 30-180 min). ANOVA analysis shows the significant inter-actions between initial concentration, solution pH value, and solution pH value, contact time was found to be significant in the removal of MB (p-value=< 0.0001, 0.0040), whereas between the effect of initial concen-tration and contact time was not significant (p-value = 0.0881). The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model and the adsorption isotherm followed the Langmuir model. At 28°C, the adsorption capacity of fly ash-HNO3 for MB was found to be 7.67 mg/g.
