MPS-VQE: A variational quantum computational chemistry simulator with matrix product states
Authors: Shang Honghui
Published: July 2024

Quantum computing is attracting more and more attention in material and biological science. In the
noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computing era, the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is
expected as an effective method to solve quantum chemistry problems which has potential quantum
advantage. Classically simulating quantum algorithms plays a critical role in algorithmic development
and the validation of noisy quantum devices before large-scale, fully fault-tolerant quantum computers
are developed. However, most existing simulators are based on the state vector or density matrix
representation of the quantum state which is faced with the memory bottleneck due to the exponential
growth of memory requirement as the number of qubits increases. In this work, we present a VQE
simulator based on the matrix product states (MPS) method from quantum many-body physics, and a
detailed study of our MPS-VQE simulator in quantum chemistry applications. The memory requirement
of MPS-VQE grows only polynomially and we demonstrate that accurate results can be obtained
despite the truncation of the smallest singular values during the algorithm. A distributed parallelization
scheme is also presented for massively parallel computer systems, and different implementations of the
parallelization scheme based on the Julia language are benchmarked which demonstrate the efficiency
and scalability of our method. Our method could open a new avenue towards large-scale classical
simulation of quantum computational chemistry.

Three-dimensional printing can provide opportunities to promote coral recruitment on disturbed reefs
Authors: Muñoz-Maravilla J David , Edmunds Peter J
Published: July 2024

Tropical corals are undergoing population declines due to disturbances. The implications of these trends are modulated by the ability of corals to support population recovery through recruitment. Current research underscores the importance of physical features of benthic surfaces in promoting coral recruitment, which creates opportunities to enhance recruitment by engineering surfaces to replicate these features with the goal of enhancing coral settlement. This study examined the interaction between the settlement of coral larvae and three-dimensional (3D) surfaces and employed 3D printing to enhance recruitment. We tested the effects of the features of microhabitats on the settlement preference, gregariousness, and survival of the brooding coral Pocillopora acuta. Grooved microhabitats that are common in the shallow (<7 m depth) backreef of Moorea, French Polynesia, were printed onto plastic tiles, and were favored for settlement by freshly released larvae from P. acuta. The percent survivorship over 20 days of coral recruits that settled in grooved microhabitats was 16.4% versus none on open flat surface. These results underscore the importance of naturally forming benthic features in promoting coral recruitment, and they highlight the potential for duplication of these features through 3D printing to enhance coral recruitment and accelerate reef restoration following damage.

Authors: ЄФІМОВА Ганна Вікторівна , ПОБЕРЕЖЕЦЬ Олександр Олександрович
Published: July 2024

Метою є поглиблене вивчення зовнішньоекономічної діяльнос­ті України в умовах воєнного стану. У статті досліджено негативний вплив збройної агресії російської федерації на економіку України, зокрема, на зовнішньоекономічну діяльність. Зазначено, що руйнівний вплив війни призвів до значних гуманітарних потреб. Цивільна інфраструктура стала мішенню: тисячі мирних громадян були вбиті або поранені, засоби до існування були порушені, а тривале переміщення стало реальністю для мільйонів. Висвітлені заходи щодо стабілізації економічного стану держави. Акцентовано увагу на важливій ролі Європейського Союзу у підтримці економіки України в умовах воєнного стану, а саме: на експорті української продукції до ЄС без справляння ввізного мита. Однак важливо підкреслити, що для українських товарів залишаються нетарифні бар’єри. Розглянуто зміни в географічній, експортно-імпортній та товарній структурі зовнішньої торгівлі. Проаналізовано її негативну динаміку. Визначено, що через сировино орієнтовану та низько технологічну економіку заходи стабілізації економічного стану виявились не ефективними. Доведено недосконалість сировинної моделі економіки, відсутність її стійкості до негативних зовнішніх чинників. Акцентовано увагу на хронічну недоінвестованість економіки України. Особливої актуальності цьому надає факт її динамічного, безпрецедентного занепаду. Проаналізовано досвід розвинених країн щодо залучення іноземних інвестицій. Визначено, що пріоритетним напрямом повинно стати залучення прямих, довгострокових інвестицій в будівництво високотехнологічних підприємств.

Published: July 2024

У статті досліджено особливості формування інформаційно-аналітичного забезпечення діяльності підприємств в умовах гібридних загроз. На основі теоретичного обґрунтування було виокремлено тринадцять основних сфер, за якими доцільно здійснювати дослідження гібридних загроз у діяльності підприємств. Було виокремлено ключові аспекти інформаційно-аналітичного забезпечення розвитку підприємств в умовах гібридних загроз. Обґрунтовано доцільність розгляду інформаційно-аналітичного забезпечення діяльності підприємства як цілісну систему, яка складається з керуючої підсистеми та керованої підсистеми. Доведено, що виявлення вразливостей дозволяє керівництву приймати більш обґрунтовані та виважені управлінські рішення щодо мінімізації негативних наслідків. Встановлено, що система інформаційно-аналітичного забезпечення підприємства – це цілеспрямоване формування інформаційних потоків, які підпорядковані системі планування, оцінки, прийняття управлінських рішень і контролю за їх виконанням. Визначено, що планування відновлення діяльності підприємств після несанкціонованих впливів, втручань чи інших загроз вимагає раннього аналізу та стратегічних підходів для усунення небажаних наслідків. Обґрунтовано, що в стратегічному управлінні розвитком підприємства важливим є аналіз зовнішнього та внутрішнього середовища, яке може становити загрозу або сприяти розвитку підприємства. Обґрунтовано, що на сьогоднішній день більшість відомих методів не повною мірою враховують особливості гібридних загроз, тому необхідним є системний підхід, який дозволяє з максимальною ефективністю комбінувати існуючі методи. Доведено необхідність використання інформаційно-аналітичного забезпечення, яке дозволить повніше сформувати уявлення про стан і перспективи розвитку суб’єкта.

Published: July 2024

Today, optimization is crucial to solving energy crises, especially in smart homes. However, the optimization-based methods for energy management in smart agriculture available globally need further improvement, which motivates this study. To resolve the problem, an efficient scheduling farm energy management system is required. Therefore, this study proposes a Farm Energy Management System (FEMS) for smart agriculture by adopting a honey-badger optimization algorithm. In the proposed system, a multi-objective optimization problem is formulated to find the best solutions for achieving the set of objectives, such as electricity cost, load minimization and peak-to-average ratio minimization, while considering the farmers' comfort. The proposed system considers commercialized agriculture with the integration of Renewable Energy Resources (RES). Also, the proposed system minimizes both load consumption and electricity costs via the scheduling of farm appliances in response to Real-Time Pricing (RTP) and Time-of-Use (ToU) pricing schemes in the electricity market. Extensive experiments are carried out in MATLAB 2018A to determine the efficacy of the proposed system. The proposed FEMS consists of sixteen farm appliances with their respective power ratings, inclusive of RES. The simulation results showed that a system without FEMS has a high electricity cost of 50.69% as compared to 43.04% for FEMS without RES and 6.27% for FEMS with RES when considering the ToU market price. For RTP market price, a system without FEMS has an electricity cost of 42.30%, as compared to 30.64% for FEMS without RES and 27.24% for FEMS with RES. Besides, the maximum load consumption for a system without FEMS is 246.80 kW, as compared to 151.40 kW for FEMS without RES and 18.85 kW for FEMS with RES when considering the ToU market price. Also, for the RTP market price, the maximum load consumption for a system without FEMS is 246.80 kW, as compared to 186.40 kW for FEMS without RES and 90.68 kW for FEMS with RES. The significance of the study is to propose a conceptualized FEMS based on the honey badger optimization algorithm. The proposed system provides scheduling of farm appliances that alleviates the burden of the electricity grid and is cost-effective for large and small-scale farmers.

Under the scenario of climate change, crop diversification through the incorporation of non-conventional oilseed crops like soybean in the cropping pattern is a need of the time. However, being native to regions having mild temperatures, soybean faces difficulty in adaptation in areas of lower latitude with high temperatures and short day lengths during growing periods. This situation directs the researchers to determine the tolerance of soybean genotypes against high temperatures and to establish a selection criterion for the identification of adaptable traits. For this purpose, a study was conducted at Oilseeds Research Institute, Faisalabad. Forty soybean genotypes including approved varieties were screened for tolerance against high temperatures in the growth chamber and glass house. At the seedling stage, genotypes were categorized into tolerant, moderately tolerant, and susceptible categories based on their STI values in the growth chamber and values of certain morpho-physiological parameters in a glass house. Considering the seed yield an ultimate goal in the adaptation process, its study is crucial in field conditions. Tolerant and moderately tolerant genotypes from previous experiments were sown in the field. Data of yield and contributing traits were recorded at maturity and subjected to analysis. Results showed great variability among genotypes for all the traits. AARI Soybean gave the best yield followed by Faisal Soybean, ORI-SOY-91, and ORI-SOY-102. All of these genotypes/varieties also performed well in terms of electrolyte leakage and leaf-relative water content. To conclude, these varieties would show better adaptation in high-temperature areas. Moreover, both the varieties along with 2 best-performing genotypes may prove to be better parents in future hybridization programs.

Węglik krzemu włóknisty – frakcja wdychalna i włókna respirabilne. Dokumentacja proponowanych wartości dopuszczalnych poziomów narażenia zawodowego
Authors: Bujak-Pietrek Stella
Published: July 2024

Węglik krzemu (SiC) występuje w kilku postaciach: jako niewłóknisty pył, włókna polikrystaliczne lub jeden z ponad 150 rodzajów pojedynczych kryształów włóknistych (określanych jako wiskersy lub wąsy). Niewłókniste formy czystego węglika krzemu mają niską toksyczność dla ludzi i zwierząt doświadczalnych. Włókna węglika krzemu często są włóknami respirabilnymi i w zależności od ich średnicy i proporcji długości do średnicy mają w eksperymentalnych modelach zwierzęcych działanie podobne do działania azbestu krokidolitowego, tj. powodują zwłóknienia płuc, zwłóknienia opłucnej, raka płuca i międzybłoniaka. Badania in vitro również sugerują, że włókna węglika krzemu mają toksyczność podobną do toksyczności włókien amfibolowych. Badania u ludzi wykazały znaczną retencję SiC, z tworzeniem ciał żelazistych, w płucach pracowników, zwłóknienie (pylicę) płuc i nowotwory płuc. Dane kliniczne i epidemiologiczne u ludzi w połączeniu z danymi doświadczalnymi pochodzącymi z badań na zwierzętach wskazują, że zagrożenia dla zdrowia wynikające z narażenia na włókna SiC należy uznać za takie same, jak te powodowane przez azbest krokidolitowy. Dlatego narażenie na włókna węglika krzemu w powietrzu stanowisk pracy powinno być ograniczone do poziomu ustalonego dla azbestu, tj. 0,1 włókna/cm3. W Polsce dotychczas została ustalona i obowiązuje wartość najwyższego dopuszczalnego stężenia jedynie dla frakcji wdychalnej węglika krzemu niewłóknistego – 10 mg/m3 z notacją dotyczącą oznaczania stężeń frakcji respirabilnej krzemionki krystalicznej (DzU 2018, poz. 1286). Zaproponowano następujące wartości NDS dla węglika krzemu włóknistego: 10 mg/m3 – frakcja wdychalna (obowiązuje oznaczanie stężeń frakcji respirabilnej krzemionki krystalicznej) i 0,1 włókna/cm3 – włókna respirabilne (włókna o średnicy [d] <3 μm, długości [l] >5 μm i wskaźniku kształtu [l: d] ≥3: 1).

Discuss How Luckin Coffee Uses Unique Marketing Strategies to Satisfy Consumers' Needs and Desires in a Highly Homogenized Market
Authors: Chen Xingtong
Published: July 2024

In a fast-paced era, life and work are relatively busy. The emergence of various products makes the market competition increasingly fierce. Especially in the first-tier cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc., most people's lives are two points and one line type, every day running between home and the company or home and school, there is not much time to stop and rest or social. In such a busy and exhausting life, people tend to feel tired and sleepy, so there is a need to have coffee or tea products to help refresh. However, most coffee shops are primarily recreational and require long waiting times for products to be prepared, so many customers have special needs that cannot be catered for. Luckin has capitalized on this by targeting a more convenient and rapid "new retail" experience and has gained a lot of sales. This paper focuses on the questionnaire survey and combines the 4P theory to analyze how Luckin uses product, price, place, and promotion strategies to satisfy consumers' needs. Luckin Coffee's marketing ideas can provide a particular reference for other enterprises.
A construção do gênero discursivo painel: das diferentes temporalidades à estrutura composicional
Authors: Trombetta Vanda Mari
Published: July 2024

Observa-se uma pressuposição no trabalho pedagógico com o gênero em materiais didáticos: a centralização no ensino da estabilidade do gênero. Em outra perspectiva, há práticas que, embora reconheçam a estabilidade, focalizam nas situações de produção dos enunciados e seus aspectos sócio-históricos. Assume-se, deste modo, com ancoragem em Bakhtin e o Círculo de Bakhtin, a análise de uma prática de ensino de um gênero emergindo de uma situação social. Objetiva-se analisar, no corpus, um conjunto de três propostas para a escrita do gênero painel. O foco de observação será a construção do gênero para além da estrutura composicional, com ênfase no diálogo com as temporalidades. Para reforçar a investigação, examinam-se, também, três versões de escrita do gênero. Sob essa perspectiva, observa-se um trabalho possível com a escrita voltado mais para a compreensão de como se dão as práticas de linguagem em processos de interação do que especificamente com a materialidade textual do gênero painel, pressupostos defendidos por Bakhtin e pelo Círculo de Bakhtin.

Stress and resilience among military medical students completing a high-fidelity military medical simulation
Authors: Cole Rebekah , Bronstein Michael V.
Published: July 2024

Background

High-fidelity medical simulations can help students successfully navigate the stressors of medical training and practice. Because sufficiently high stress levels can interfere with learning, the balance of stress and resilience factors during simulation training should be carefully curated. However, student experiences of stress and resilience during high-fidelity simulations are seldom well characterized, especially in military medical training. With this in mind, the authors investigated students’ lived experiences of stress and resilience during a well-established high-fidelity simulation at a military medical school.

Methods

Fourth-year active-duty military medical students (n = 23) from the United States Air Force, Army, and Navy who were attending Operation Bushmaster – a 5-day, high-fidelity military medical simulation – were interviewed during and after the simulation. Data were analyzed via a hermeneutic phenomenological qualitative approach. Another 21 students reported their stress levels and trait mindfulness. Experts rated their performance at Operation Bushmaster.

Results

Participant narratives pointed towards major internal stressors, including chronic uncertainty and fluctuating motivation, and external stressors, such as weather and equipment-related challenges. Narratives also identified multiple factors that mitigated stress, including the use of mindfulness skills (especially mindful/tactical breathing), giving/receiving social support, shifting perspectives to centre connections between Operation Bushmaster and students’ professional purpose, and positive self-talk that gave participants permission to make mistakes and learn from them. There was a moderate positive correlation between mindfulness and performance at Operation Bushmaster.

Conclusions

These stress and resilience factors are critical leverage points for educators seeking to optimize learning during Operation Bushmaster and other high-fidelity simulation trainings. Future research should continue to examine how the balance of these factors impacts medical students’ immediate learning (e.g. regarding medical decision-making, skill and leadership) and longer-term ability to successfully navigate the stressors of the medical profession.
Work Ethics on Teachers’ Behavior, Attitude and Performance: Basis for Professional Development Plan
Authors: Osias Ninfa , Ladica Rosenel
Published: July 2024

The work ethics of teachers significantly impact students, schools, and the broader community. This study examines the relationship between teachers’ work ethics and their professional lives, focusing on behavior, attitude, and performance. Conducted in seven mega schools in Misamis Oriental for the 2023-2024 school year, it aimed to describe the respondents’ profiles, identify their work ethics, and evaluate these in terms of attitude, behavior, and performance using the Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form (IPCRF). The study employed a descriptive-correlational research method with 300 respondents using adapted, modified, and researcher-made questionnaires. Data analysis used inferential statistics to explore the relationship between teachers’ work ethics and their professional attributes. Findings indicate that teachers with strong work ethics display more positive behavior and attitudes towards their profession, colleagues, and students. A significant relationship was found between work ethics—such as responsibility to the profession, professional competence, responsibility to students, school community, and ethical use of technology—and teachers’ behavior and attitude. The study concludes that work ethics influence teachers’ professional development, classroom management, and ethical behavior. It suggests that teachers should adopt a professional development plan that emphasizes work ethics to enhance their professional growth.

Published: July 2024

Microfinance plays a crucial role in fostering economic development, especially in underserved and impoverished communities. Using stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory, the study investigates how microfinance, cost of loan, and individual funding and support affect borrowers' business attitudes and sustainable business growth, as well as the impact of satisfaction with these sources. The study collected 845 data points from the Khulan division of Bangladesh using a convenient sampling technique and analyzed them with Smrt Pls 4 and fsQCA 3 software. The results indicated that microfinance, cost of loan individual finding, and support significantly affect borrowers’ business attitudes which in turn has a positive effect on sustainable business growth. The findings further show that apart from the relationship between microbusiness and business attitudes, business satisfaction does not moderate the relationships between cost of loan and business satisfaction as well as individual finding and support and business satisfaction. The study suggests insightful recommendations for academics, MFIs, and policymakers for poverty reduction through ensuring sustainable business conducted by microfinance. This study introduces two new concepts i.e., individual funding and support and business satisfaction as well as a new theory i.e., SOR in microfinance research, extending the theory's applicability, and research scope, and providing new suggestions for further research.
Consumption Value and Organic Food Purchasing Behavior of Online Consumers
Authors: Sheikh Ashiqurrahman Prince  , Ishraat Saira Wahid  , Sayed Azharul Islam
Published: July 2024

This study examined how consumption value theory, religious knowledge, website quality, and e-satisfaction influence consumers’ online organic food purchasing behavior. This study collected 989 data points from Bangladeshi online organic food consumers using convenience sampling and analyzed them using SPSS and PLS 4.0-SEM. The results indicate that apart from epistemic value all other consumption values, such as functional, emotional, social and conditional influence online organic food purchases through the mediating effect of religious knowledge, website quality and e-satisfaction. Consumption value is an emerging theory in organic food purchasing research, a new phenomenon in this context. The current study makes a groundbreaking contribution to theory development and contextualization. Consumption value theory has been studied in organic food purchase research predominantly in developed nations. By investigating the theory in the context of online organic food purchasing behavior in Bangladesh, this study validates its generalizability and adds to the existing body of knowledge. In addition, the mediating role of religious knowledge in the relationship between organic food purchasing intention and purchasing decision online has been given little attention by the previous literature. The study proposes several strategies for organic food marketers that would stimulate consumers’ values and relevant context, encouraging them to buy more organic food online, and thus increase the development and profit of online organic food businesses, which is extremely important toward creating a healthy nation.
Analysis of Risk Factors for Investors in Emerging Markets
Authors: Jethro Godi
Published: July 2024

Risk management is becoming more and more dependent on the identification of risk variables for investors who wish to make investments in emerging economies. Finding risk factors for investors in emerging markets and identifying the top five risk factors in emerging markets were the two objectives of this study. To gather information from South African asset managers, this study used an online survey method, a quantitative research strategy, and online questionnaires. To analyse the data, descriptive statistics were employed. The findings indicated that the most crucial risk factors to consider when making investments in developing markets were currency, economic stability, liquidity, inflation, investment cost, hazards, and taxation. Additionally, it was shown that the top five risk factors in developing markets include inflation, currency fluctuations, hazards, liquidity, and economic stability. This study added to the body of knowledge and its significance and contribution to existing literature is that it gave investors in emerging markets fresh perspectives on risk factors to consider when investing in emerging market. The practical implication for investors is that they must consider factors identified in this study when investing in developing markets, it is advised that investors who choose to do so take into account the top five risk factors. Policymakers in emerging markets can help ensure that investors are well-informed about the risks associated with investing in emerging markets, ultimately fostering a more stable and attractive investment environment.
