Published: May 2024

En esta tribuna los autores exploran el concepto de visibilidad web, para conocer su origen y evolución a lo largo del tiempo. Se destaca que la base es ser visibles en Internet entre la inmensa cantidad de contenidos disponibles para aparecer en las primeras posiciones de las páginas de resultados de los motores de búsquedas. El término anglosajón utilizado es “Search Engine Optimization” (SEO), que hace referencia a las acciones a realizar para que un sitio web este optimizado para aparecer en posiciones prominentes de la página de resultados de los buscadores. En español se tradujo este concepto por “Posicionamiento Web”. Así, en el ámbito hispano se optó por utilizar este concepto, vinculado al marketing y especificando que se aplicaba al entorno web. Por lo que se utilizó un término más genérico, que la opción inglesa, que era mucho más precisa y unívoca en comparación. Además, se lleva a cabo una revisión bibliográfica sobre la visibilidad web, revelando que es un campo de investigación que ha sido estudiado durante aproximadamente 20 años, se han analizado los artículos académicos publicados desde 2005 hasta mediados de 2024, un total de 27 artículos

The Influence of Price, Halal Brands, and Marketing Management Strategies on Consumer Satisfaction
Authors: Rohimah Rohimah
Published: May 2024

The aim of this research was to assess the impact of price, presence of a halal label, and marketing management strategies on consumer satisfaction with Aci Taubat meatballs, as a popular food choice among consumers across various socioeconomic classes in Indonesia, particularly within the middle-class spectrum. Additionally, Aci Taubat meatballs are classified under the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) program. This study used quantitative research methods, employing multiple regression analysis for processing sample data. Using probability sampling and Likert scale-based questionnaires, primary data for this study was collected from 100 Aci Taubat customers without applying any specific selection criteria. The results revealed that pricing has a significant impact on customer satisfaction. Conversely, the presence of a halal label and the employed marketing management strategy did not significantly impact customer satisfaction. Despite the lack of significance, all three independent variables maintained a positive influence on the dependent variable, customer satisfaction with Aci Taubat meatballs. These findings emphasize the significance of informed pricing decisions and the development of a strong halal brand image. The role of marketing management strategies is critical in enhancing consumer satisfaction. These implications suggest the need for further research and underscore the relevance of consumer satisfaction-based business strategies. Such strategies are essential for companies aiming to design effective approaches and maintain market share in segments that are sensitive to halal considerations.

Published: May 2024

This article has four main objectives: first, identify the challenges and opportunities to realize sustainable halal tourism; second, identify the challenges and opportunities faced in realizing green accounting; third, formulate a sustainable halal tourism model; fourth, formulate a green accounting model that can realize sustainable halal tourism. There is still a lack of understanding and studies related to green accounting. On the one hand, green accounting is needed to realize the concept of sustainability (economic, social, and environmental balance) in a business. Currently, the halal business is growing. As a result, demand related to halal tourism has increased. When halal tourism is emphasized as sustainable, green accounting certainly needs to be applied in the business. However, the problem is that no clear model of what kind of green accounting can realize sustainable halal tourism. To answer the four objectives of the study that have been set, the study method used is descriptive qualitative research with literature analysis. The data source used in this study is secondary data in the form of articles obtained from Science Direct, Emerald, Taylor & Francis, and Sage. The results of the literature review showed four main findings. First, there are 13 challenges and 6 opportunities in realizing sustainable halal tourism. Second, there are 13 challenges and 12 opportunities in realizing green accounting. Third, a sustainable halal tourism model consists of 6 important elements. Fourth, the green accounting model that can realize sustainable halal tourism consists of 5 important elements.

Authors: Monteiro Adriana , Lima Fabiana , Fernandes Mesquita Rafael , Mendes Boavista de Castro Maurício
Published: May 2024

Contexto: Embora a relação entre diversidade de gênero e inovação nas organizações seja amplamente discutida em estudos de caso e surveys, ainda carece de uma caracterização descritiva e interpretativa da evolução dessa temática na literatura, bem como de uma síntese do conhecimento produzido. Objetivo: Para preencher essa lacuna, o presente estudo buscou caracterizar a relação entre diversidade de gênero e inovação nas organizações. Métodos: O estudo consistiu em uma análise bibliométrica da produção científica no período de 2002 a 2023. Foram analisados 96 artigos coletados na base de dados Web of Science, usando o software Bibliometrix. Resultados: Os resultados principais indicam uma tendência de crescimento na investigação da temática, com destaque para a análise da inovação associada à inclusão de mulheres nos conselhos de administração. Essa inclusão é considerada uma estratégia não apenas para a criação de valor nas organizações, mas também para a promoção de práticas sustentáveis, como parte da inovação verde. Além disso, a representatividade de mulheres nos conselhos de administração ajuda a promover maior inclusão de outros grupos sociais sub-representados. Conclusões: Este estudo oferece insights importantes para a compreensão da relação entre diversidade de gênero e inovação nas organizações, apontando para a necessidade de desenvolver políticas que incentivem a inclusão de mulheres em posições de liderança. Contudo, foi identificada uma limitação na literatura existente, que é a falta de estudos comparativos sobre a inovação associada à inclusão de mulheres em diferentes níveis hierárquicos. Recomenda-se que futuras pesquisas explorem a diversidade de gênero sob a perspectiva de pessoas transgêneras e considerem a interseccionalidade com outros marcadores sociais.
Understanding Influenza
Authors: Hutchinson Ed , Amorim Maria João , Yamauchi Yohei
Published: May 2024

Influenza, a serious illness of humans and domesticated animals, has been studied intensively for many years. It therefore provides an example of how much we can learn from detailed studies of an infectious disease, and of how even the most intensive scientific research leaves further questions to answer. This introduction is written for researchers who have become interested in one of these unanswered questions, but who may not have previously worked on influenza. To investigate these questions researchers must not only have a firm grasp of relevant methods and protocols; they must also be familiar with the basic details of our current understanding of influenza. This article therefore briefly covers the burden of disease that has driven influenza research, summarises how our thinking about influenza has evolved over time, and sets out key features of influenza viruses by discussing how we classify them and what we understand of their replication. It does not aim to be comprehensive, as any researcher will read deeply into the specific areas that have grasped their interest. Instead, it aims to provide a general summary of how we came to think about influenza in the way we do now, in the hope that the reader’s research will help us to understand it better.
Shifting themes in the cognitive and evolutionary sciences of religion

Published: May 2024

In their target article, White et al. celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR), looking back on what has been done as well as into the possible futures that await this academic discipline. We are joyous to join this celebration as we consider ourselves ardent members of this discipline and wish to see the discipline flourish. Indeed, most of us academically grew up on the works of the CSR founding figures—many of whom are the authors of the present target article—and when founding our lab, we were much inspired by their call for more empirical evidence that would test the proposed theoretical models. Yet, as the inevitable law of inter-generational disagreement dictates, we see the recent developments of CESR (where the additional 'E' stands for evolution) and its near future fairly differently than White et al. In this spirit, our commentary offers several critical reflections on the target article, its scope as well as the proposed future directions for CESR.

Published: May 2024

This article proposes the modified KNN (K Nearest Neighbor)algorithm which receives a graph as its input data and is applied tothe text categorization. The graph is more graphical forrepresenting a word and the synergy effect between the textcategorization and the word categorization is expected by combiningthem with each other. In this research, we propose the similaritymetric between two graphs representing words, modify the KNNalgorithm by replacing the exiting similarity metric by the proposedone, and apply it to the text categorization. The proposed KNN isempirically validated as the better approach in categorizing textsin news articles and opinions. In this article, a word is encodedinto a weighted and undirected graph and it is represented into alist of edges.
The relative roles of self-reported loudness hyperacusis, misophonia, and phonophobia in neurodevelopmental sound intolerance
Authors: de Brueijs Sabine , Allgulin Marcus , Igelström Kajsa
Published: May 2024

Decreased sound tolerance (DST) is an important source of impairment for autistic individuals and a research priority for stakeholders. While various sensory symptoms are associated with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) and linearly correlated with autistic traits (ATs), the relative roles of the DST subtypes, hyperacusis, misophonia, and phonophobia, are unknown. We collected psychometric data on loudness hyperacusis, misophonia and phonophobia symptoms from 336 adults (32.4% with ASC) with a broad distribution of ATs, to allow analysis of the association of DST subtypes with both ASC and ATs. We found that symptoms associated with all three DST constructs were elevated in ASC and correlated with higher ATs. However, the presence and severity of misophonia and phonophobia were to a great extent contingent on the presence of loudness hyperacusis. Misophonic triggers related to ASC and ATs were muffled sounds and background talk, rather than the oronasal triggers classically associated with misophonia, such as eating sounds. Limitations include a reliance on self-reported normal peripheral hearing and neurodevelopmental conditions, but strengths include the large sample and highly reliable measures. We conclude that loudness hyperacusis is the dominant DST pattern associated with ASC and ATs.
Preprint: Fostering toddlers’ numeracy skills and their mathematical language through a professional development intervention on interaction quality
Authors: Besser Nadine , Linberg Anja , Dornheim Dorothea , Weinert Sabine , Roßbach Hans-Günther , Lehrl Simone
Published: May 2024

This study examines the impact of early childcare teachers’ professional development (PD) training in global and domain-specific interaction quality and its effects on children’s numeracy skills and mathematical language development. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of high-quality interactions, using tools like dialogic reading and playing board games, in promoting young children’s numeracy skills and their mathematical language. However, few studies investigated the importance of the specificity of the training by offering a training in math-specific as well as a training in global interaction quality. Moreover, existing studies have primarily focused on children aged three years and older, despite the importance of early intervention. To address these gaps, this study integrated promising interaction strategies into PD training for early childcare teachers working with toddlers. It evaluated the short- and long-term effectiveness of this training on numeracy skills and mathematical language in children aged two to four. Two intervention groups received either math-specific or global interaction quality training, while a control group received no training. Results showed significant improvements in numeracy skills and mathematical language over time, with stronger effects observed in the math-specific intervention group compared to the control group. The global intervention group showed stronger effects in language competencies compared to the control group. These findings underscore the effectiveness of targeted PD training in fostering children’s early numeracy skills and mathematical language. By systematically varying intervention content and controlling for environmental factors, this study provides valuable insights into the specific benefits of math-specific training for early childcare teachers.
Main Factors Influencing the Perceived Health Risk of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Pravednikov Aleksandr , Perkovic Sonja , Lagerkvist Carl Johan
Published: May 2024

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are linked to rising health issues likeinfertility and testicular cancer. Despite the recognized risks, little is known about howpeople perceive the health risks associated with EDCs. Here we provide a comprehensiveoverview of research on perceived health risks of EDCs and identify key factors influencingthese perceptions. We performed a systematic literature review, examining 45 articlespublished between 1985 and 2023, focusing on both the risk perception of EDCs as awhole as well as individual EDCs found in the environment (e.g., pesticides, bisphenol A,and phthalates). We identified four major categories of factors influencing EDC riskperception: sociodemographic factors (with age, gender, race, and education as significantdeterminants), family-related factors (highlighting increased concerns in households withchildren), cognitive factors (indicating that increased EDC knowledge generally led toincreased risk perception), and psychosocial factors (with trust in institutions, worldviews,and health-related concerns as primary determinants). This review highlights the complexnature of EDC risk perception, shaped by sociodemographic, family, cognitive, andpsychosocial factors, essential for policymakers in crafting educational and communicationstrategies. Future research should expand to cover more EDCs, use representativesamples, and explore the influence of psychosocial factors on risk perception more deeply.
Large indirect economic impacts of tropical cyclones shaped by disaster response
Authors: Callahan Christopher , Baldwin Jane , Jing Renzhi , Burke Marshall , Diffenbaugh Noah
Published: May 2024

Tropical cyclones (TCs) have direct economic impacts, destroying property, crops, and infrastructure. However, the sign and magnitude of their indirect impacts via longer-term changes in economic output remain unclear. Here we use data on TC winds and county-level income in the U.S. to quantify the indirect impacts of TCs on incomes in the years following a TC. We find a nonlinear response of income growth to TCs: most TCs persistently depress income, but the strongest TCs do not appear to affect income, likely due to the compensating effect of federal disaster aid following strong storms. We find that TCs have collectively reduced U.S. income by $30 trillion over 1980-2019, >20 times their direct losses. These findings highlight that disaster response can ameliorate indirect disaster impacts, but that to date such responses have not avoided large accumulating losses from TCs.
A Conversation on Indigenous Healing and Joy in an Urban Indigenous Landscape
Authors: Alcalá El , Baker-DeKrey Laiel , Fish Jillian , Jallen Ashlee , Luzar Stephen , Stately Antony
Published: May 2024

Minneapolis-Saint Paul is home to over 35,000 Indigenous people (Minneapolis American Indian Center, n.d.). This is due in part to the Indian Relocation Act of 1956, a federal policy that coerced Indigenous peoples to move to cities with the goal of assimilating us into society so the government could acquire Tribal lands. However, Indigenous peoples have transformed Minneapolis-Saint Paul into a sprawling urban Indigenous landscape founded on strong sociopolitical movements (e.g., the American Indian Movement). Urban Indigenous Minneapolis-Saint Paul is clear evidence of Indigenous resistance, survivance (Vizenor, 2008), and joy. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to situate Indigenous healing within this context through a conversation with the Indigenous Joy Collective — six Indigenous healers from various organizations in Minneapolis-Saint Paul. Using the Indigenist conversation approach (Wilson et al., 2022), we convened the Indigenous Joy Gathering and discussed what Indigenous joy means to us and its implications for healing in the format of a talking circle. We provide recommendations to support the collective healing and well-being of Indigenous peoples in urban settings, including the Indigenous Joy Worksheet.
Social Media and Youth Mental Health: Simple Narratives Produce Biased Interpretations
Authors: Sewall Craig Jeffrey Robb , Parry Douglas A.
Published: May 2024

Numerous academics and pundits contend that social media use is the primary cause of an international youth mental health crisis. However, these claims often rely on correlational evidence, ignoring the confounding effects of genetic, developmental, environmental, social, and psychological factors that influence mental health. This oversimplifies the complex etiology of mental health problems. We call for a more nuanced understanding of the role of social media in youth mental health that avoids oversimplification. Additionally, we urge researchers to move beyond vague, narrative-driven verbal theories and encode them into precise, testable causal models. Using simulation techniques and specification curve analyses, we show how miss-specified models that ignore these confounding factors can lead to biased conclusions about social media's adverse effects. This simplistic focus on social media use diverts attention from the broader factors contributing to youth mental health problems, hindering the development of effective interventions and support.

It encompasses the fundamental stages of preregistration (e.g., research inquiries, hypotheses, experimental conditions, etc.), while also detailing essential elements specific to eye tracking studies [e.g, criteria for exclusion, type of eye tracker utilized, construction of areas of interest (AOIs), employed eye tracking processing algorithms, and minimum fixation duration]. Additionally, we differentiate between preregistration items for infrared and webcam eye tracking.
Banana-based Biofuels for Combating Climate Change: How the Composition of Enzyme Catalyzed Solutions Affects Biofuel Yield
Authors: Klein-Hessling Barrientos Hermann Facundo , Ingram Rachel
Published: May 2024

This investigation was inspired by the ever so precarious nature of climate change and its detrimental implications on our planet and society. One alternative form of energy that shows promise amongst others in alleviating the climate crisis, is biofuel. An extensive experiment was conducted to investigate whether amylase or yeast had a more prominent role in determining the bioethanol concentration and bioethanol yield of banana samples. Given that amylase facilitates the breakdown of complex polysaccharides into simple sugars, we hypothesized that amylase would have the most significant impact on the bioethanol yield and concentration of the samples. This was determined to be the case when the fermentation batch samples received enzyme compositions of yeast and amylase independently. However, when added concurrently, the optimal enzyme composition for maximizing the bioethanol concentration and yield was the addition of amylase and yeast in a 3:2 ratio. Thus, while yeast is an essential component for producing bioethanol, the proportion of amylase supplied through a joint amylase-yeast mixture has a more significant impact on the bioethanol yield. This provides some insight into what industrial engineers would need to take into consideration when mass-producing bioethanol on the industrial scale, namely that of the optimal enzyme composition with respect to cost and the bioethanol yield. Moreover, this study provides a greater understanding of the mechanisms and implications involved in enzyme-based biofuel production, specifically of those pertaining to amylase and yeast.
Cytological grading of breast carcinoma and its correlation with histopathological grading
Authors: James Nikita , Umarani MK , Shouree KR
Published: May 2024

Background: Diagnosis of breast cancer is  made in most of the cases near accurately by fine needle aspiration cytology. With the advent of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the need for identification of aggressiveness of the tumor has become essential. So cytological grading may be of prime importance for the patient, who may undergo neoadjuvant therapy prior to surgical resection. Objective of this study was to grade the breast carcinoma on FNAC using Robinson’s and Mouriquand’s grading systems and to assess the concordance of both cytological grading systems with histological grading using a modified Scarff-Bloom-Richardson grading system.
Materials and Methods: This study was done between 2016 and 2018 in subjects with breast carcinoma undergoing FNAC. Cytological grading of the samples was done by Robinson’s and Mouriquand’s methods. Subsequent Histological grading was done on subsequent specimens according to the Modified Bloom Richardson grading system. Obtained histological grades were correlated with the cytological grades.
Results: Robinson’s grading system showed a significant association with the Modified Bloom Richardson grading system (p<0.01), with a specificity of 71.4% (43/60) whereas there was no significant association in the case of Mouriquand’s grading system.
Conclusions: Cytological grading of invasive breast cancer corresponds well with the histological grade. In our study, we found that grading a tumor by Robinson’s method was more specific and elementary compared to Mouriquand’s system of grading.

Impact Assessment of Utility Relocation on Road Construction Projects: A Case Study Analysis
Authors: Pradhanang B. , Mishra A. K. , Parajuli K. P.
Published: May 2024

Road construction projects often involve the relocation of utility services to accommodate the growing needs of society. However, the impact of these relocations on project performance has not been comprehensively studied. This research aims to assess the challenges and impacts of utility relocation on road construction projects. Data on the impact of utility relocations was gathered from case studies of seven road projects in various phases, including construction and completion. A total of 90 questionnaires were distributed, with a response rate of 77.78%, representing contractors, consultancy firms, and clients. Data analysis included mean and standar d deviation calculations, as well as correlation tests between the number of utility-related change orders, time slippage, and cost overruns. The findings indicate that, on average, utility relocation leads to a 555.78% increase in the utility budget and an average time slippage of 13.79%. The primary challenges in managing utility relocations in road projects include delays in commencing utility identification and relocation work, insufficient utilization of technological tools and software for utility visualization and management, delays in acquiring rights of way for utilities, and the need for rework or change orders. The most impactful utility issues in road construction projects include the failure to identify and characterize utility conflicts, infrequent updates of utility relocation estimates during project development, and changes in utility plans caused by late project design modifications. The study reveals a strong correlation between the number of utility-related change orders and time and cost overruns in road construction projects. Addressing these challenges and proactively managing utility relocations is crucial for enhancing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of road construction projects.

Authors: Lacoul N. , Pandey Y. L.
Published: May 2024

This study focuses on the physical and mechanical parameters among various properties of coarse aggregates from Tinau River and Banganga River, studies the variation in compressive strength of concrete cubes made of coarse aggregates from respective sources and their economic assessment for use in various construction projects. The result show that in terms of physical and mechanical properties, aggregates of Tinau River were found slightly better than those of Banganga River. The variation in compressive strength of concrete mix due to change in source is significant for rich mix concrete (1:1.5:3) while there is less significant variation in case of lean mix concrete (1:3:6) and (1:2:4) which shows that the variation increases with the rise in grade of concrete. The economic analysis conducted on the basis of mix design concluded that the difference in cost for producing 1m3 of concrete using coarse aggregate from Tinau River and Banganga River is Rs. 20.40 and the percentage of saving in cost of concrete is only 0.22%. Overall, this research can be valuable to engineers and researchers working in the field of infrastructure development projects.

Similar to Mecca or Bethlehem, Lumbini is a significant pilgrimage center. UNESCO World Heritage Site Maya Devi Temple, which is situated close to a holy pool. This site has the archaeological remnants of brick structures built by Ashoka in the third century BC, as well as the discovery of a timber shrine from the sixth century BC. The ancient monastic remains at Lumbini, the sacred Bodhi tree, an ancient bathing pond, the Ashokan pillar, built by King Ashoka in 249 BC, and the Maya Devi Temple encompass the holy site. The sacred Bodhi tree, the Ashokan pillar, the Mayadevi Temple which is believed to be the place of the Buddha's birth and the remains of previous monasteries may all be found at Lumbini, a holy site. At the location, pilgrims from different nations chant and meditate from early dawn till early evening. Moreover, The Lumbini monastic zone is a model of meditation and spiritual living, enclosed away during its picturesque surroundings. The lessons of the Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, are repeated in this place by the rhythm of devotion and reflection through life. The intangible cultural heritage of Lumbini, the sacred place of Lord Buddha's birth, is a living collection of rituals, ceremonies, and traditions. Spiritual practices such as ancient meditation processes, lively folk dances, oral traditions, and sacred ceremonies are examples of these cultural intangibles. Lumbini's intangible heritage demonstrates to the vast spiritual and cultural heritage of Buddhism, connecting and encouraging gratitude among Buddhists worldwide.
Application of Safety Briefing as an Effort to Reduce the Impact of Disasters in Health Care Facilities

Published: May 2024

Disasters can occur anywhere, including in community health service centers. Disasters in public health service centers can occur due to natural disasters but can also be caused by occupational accidents, due to the failure of occupational safety and health programs, poor physical planning of buildings, and the absence of care and supervision of sources of danger. The aim of this Revew study is to describe the implementation of safety briefing as an effort to reduce the impact of disasters in health care facilities (FASYANKES). Traditional literature review research methods and research design library research. Data were obtained from 5 research journals that have ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) and have a DOI (Digital Objective Identifier)  by comparing or looking for similarities in the contents of research journals then discussing them. The results show that safety briefings are more influential in improving patient safety than some general hospital patient safety practices and show that safety briefings achieve beneficial results and can enhance safety culture.
My own pink world: Feminist diplomacy after culture
Authors: Knop Karen , Riles Annelise
Published: May 2024

What has happened to the ambitions of feminist diplomacy expressed a decade ago? Although feminist foreign policy is on the rise in the United States, and, globally, has scored important victories within multilateral institutions such as the United Nations, feminists seem to have scaled back earlier ambitions to save women everywhere from patriarchy. In the words of Barbie, they have retreated to their ‘own pink world.’ We argue that the seeds of current challenges go back more than a decade to feminist diplomacy’s own knowledge practices. The tactics that feminist diplomats at that time deployed to manage the feminist postmodern predicament – what we term the culture bog – can on one level be understood within the repertoire of technical moves that define diplomatic practice. Yet, in a deeper way, these tactics violated the ethos and commitments of both feminism and diplomacy. We diagnose in this work a failure to embrace the challenges and contradictions of bridging worlds of incompatible realities that gave both fields their vitality.
Molecular-Level Studies of Nanopatterned Biomolecules with Atomic Force Microscopy
Authors:   , Walker Ashley
Published: May 2024

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an analytical technique in which a tipped probe is gently scanned across the surface in a raster pattern to generate digital images of a sample at the nanoscale. The AFM instrument has three general operational modes, which are contact, non-contact and tapping-mode, that can be used to examine materials at the atomic level. Single-molecular details of biological molecules and other soft organic materials can be captured with minimal denaturation in either ambient or liquid environments when using tapping-mode AFM. In tapping-mode, the probe is driven to oscillate vertically while the tip is scanned across the sample, touching the surface intermittently for a nanosecond before retraction. In this dissertation, a brief history of AFM studies is outlined for applications in life sciences. The sample preparation techniques, operational modes, and potential biological applications will be described. A summary of AFM studies of the structure, assembly, protein-cell interactions, and mechanical properties of proteins of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is presented. Nanoscale surface characterization studies of soft metal organic polyhedra compounds deposited on mica were conducted using AFM to provide information on the structure and size of the compounds. Investigations of DNA-protein interaction were conducted using AFM to provide detailed information of the biomolecular complexes. Nanoscale topography and phase images were captured in ambient conditions using tapping-mode to reveal details of the morphology of DNA and protein samples that were prepared on freshly cleaved muscovite mica. Nanopatterning studies with DNA and with selected organosilanes were conducted using methods of colloidal lithography, which is a nanopatterning technique in which a surface mask of colloidal particles is used to produce regular geometric nanostructures on a 1×1 cm2 substrates. High-resolution AFM images captured in tapping-mode revealed nanostructures on the surface after the particle mask was rinsed away. Cursor profiles from AFM images were used to evaluate the depth and width of the nanostructures. Colloidal nanolithography provides a tool to control where biomolecules bind to the surface, which provides molecular-level insight for surface studies of biomolecular reactions. Potential applications for nanolithography include designs for surface biosensors or other electronic devices.
Comparing Editorial and Artificially Generated Fingerings: A Case Study
Authors:   , Qin Lixi
Published: May 2024

" Fingering is crucial for piano performance. Unlike other instruments with relatively fixed fingerings, keyboard instruments offer countless fingering combinations. As musical styles have evolved, so too have the instruments themselves, resulting in a rich history of diverse fingering systems, which sometimes conflict with one another. Moreover, due to individual differences in hand shape and size, the fingering advice from editors or teachers may not be universally applicable, and there is a lack of an objective, unified standard for validating these recommendations. For students who do not fully understand fingering principles and have not been exposed to a wide range of musical styles, selecting appropriate fingerings can be particularly challenging, especially when they first encounter advanced repertoire. Researchers have studied past fingering systems and developed two relatively quantifiable and objective fingering models. Subsequent researchers have built upon these models to create two fingering generators aimed at helping advancing pianists improve practice efficiency. This article uses J. S. Bach's ""Prelude and Fugue in F sharp minor, BWV 883"" from ""Das Wohltemperierte Klavier II"" as an example to compare the differences between editorial and artificially generated fingerings. The goal is to test the practical utility of these fingering generators and to explore the potential issues and developmental prospects of the two models."
