Religiosity, Health and Participation in Sport
Authors: Marwat Mohibullah Khan , Saman Samera , Liang Huang
Published: November 2024

This research study was conducted to evaluate and review the existing literature encircling the ambit of religion with reference to participation in sports and health from the psychological perspective. Religion and humans have long been associated and religion has been playing very prominent role in the everyday lives of human beings. Internal peace, eternal satisfaction and contentment are the associated outcomes of attachment with the religion particularly in the event of negative and stressful circumstances. A number of studies endorse the relationship between religion and positive mental and physical health. Literature encircling sports psychology suggests that religious trend of the player can have positive effect upon the overall mental health and performance of the player. Religious practices and gestures in shape of praying are the routine activities particularly before and during competition, among the athletes representing different religious schools of thoughts. Relationship of religiosity and sports have also been looked into from the historical perspectives and one thing became clear that, in the ancient days, sports activities were performed as a part of religious rituals and faith obligatory practices to please their gods/goddesses. Sport activities like running, jumping, boxing, bow-shooting, fighting, javelin throw, discus throw and wrestling had been used to be performed as a sacred religious duty on special periodical ceremonies conducted regularly. Findings of the different studies show that religiosity plays significant role in averting the stressful situation, coping sports related anxiety of the participants and enhancing confidence and self-esteem of the player.

A comparison between in situ monazite Lu–Hf and U–Pb geochronology
Authors: De Vries Van Leeuwen Alexander T. , Glorie Stijn , Hand Martin , Mulder Jacob , Gilbert Sarah E.
Published: November 2024

Abstract. In complex metamorphic terranes, monazite U–Th–Pb dates can span a wide concordant range, leading to ambiguous geological interpretations (e.g., slow protracted cooling versus multiphase growth). We present in situ monazite Lu–Hf analysis as an independent chronometer to verify U–Th–Pb age interpretations. Monazite Lu–Hf dates were attained via laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry equipped with collision/reaction cell technology (LA-ICP-MS/MS). In situ Lu–Hf dates for potential reference monazites with uncertainties < 1.6 % agree with published U–Th–Pb dates, validating the approach. We demonstrate the method on complex metamorphic samples from the Arkaroola region of the northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia, which exhibit protracted thermal and monazite growth histories due to high geothermal gradient metamorphism. In situ Lu–Hf dates reproduce the main U–Pb monazite age populations, demonstrating the ability to reliably resolve multiple age populations from polymetamorphic monazite samples.
Historical evolution of the geomagnetic declination at the Royal Observatory of Madrid
Authors: Tordesillas Jose Manuel , Pavón-Carrasco Francisco Javier , Nuñez Alberto , Anquela Ana Belén
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The agonic line, which represents geomagnetic declinations of 0°, recently crossed the Royal Observatory of Madrid (ROM) in December 2021, causing a shift in declination values from west to east. This event constitutes a notable milestone for this significant observatory, where the first geomagnetic observation series commenced around 1855 in Spain. In this work, taking advantage of the occurrence of this event, a detailed study has been conducted to investigate the historical evolution of the magnetic declination at the ROM to decipher prior occurrences of the agonic line crossing this place. Despite the ROM having hosted the first series of geomagnetic measurements in Spain, the present lack of geomagnetic measurements in this observatory makes it necessary to extend the declination measurements to other observatories distributed throughout the Iberian Peninsula to better define the passage of the agonic line since 1855 up to the present. For epochs prior to 1855, a bibliographic search for declination measurements conducted in the Iberian Peninsula has been carried out, complemented by historical data from the HISTMAG database. As a result, a time-continuous curve of geomagnetic declination is generated from 1590 to 2022 at the ROM coordinates. The declination curve reveals that the agonic line also crossed the ROM 400 years ago (around 1600), passing from western to eastern declination values.
Assessing the impact of early warning and evacuation on human losses during the 2021 Ahr Valley flood in Germany using agent-based modelling
Authors: Rocha Silva André Felipe , Eleutério Julian Cardoso , Apel Heiko , Kreibich Heidi
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Between 12 and 19 July 2021, a quasi-stationary atmospheric low-pressure system named "Bernd" caused intense precipitation on already saturated soil, resulting in severe flooding in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The Ahr River Valley in Rhineland-Palatinate was particularly affected, with approximately 42,000 residents impacted, around 8,800 buildings damaged, and 134 fatalities recorded. The flood in the Ahr River Valley significantly exceeded the scenarios outlined in official hazard maps, leaving decision-makers and the public unprepared. Substantial issues occurred with the content, issuance, and dissemination of warnings, thereby reducing the effectiveness of emergency response. We evaluate how human losses in the Ahr Valley might have differed under alternative flood early warning and evacuation (FEWE) scenarios, using the agent-based model (ABM) LifeSim. To run the model for the 2021 Ahr flood, we utilised a reconstructed modelled time series of water depth and flow velocities and estimated the FEWE timeline based on a post-event survey of the affected population. For the reconstructed FEWE timeline, we identified the first flood warning approximately 13 hours before the peak of the flood upstream of the simulated domain. Only 17.5 % of those affected received a warning with evacuation instructions, with most becoming aware of evacuation necessities only after flooding had already reached them. Consequently, only about 34 % of the population evacuated their homes or were rescued. The median life loss estimation of the reconstructed flood overestimates the actual life loss by 28.8 %. Simulations of alternative FEWE scenarios indicate a potential life loss reduction of up to 80 % with timely warning dissemination and increased population evacuation. However, scenarios in which the FEWE prompted the population to evacuate at the moment of the imminent hazard at their buildings result in higher human losses. In these cases, vertical evacuation within buildings is more effective. Using a life loss ABM, such as LifeSim, can support decisions on FEWEs and improve emergency response planning.
Offshore Wind Farm Layout Optimization Accounting for Participation to Secondary Reserve Markets
Authors: Nguyen Thuy-Hai , Quick Julian , Réthoré Pierre-Elouan , Toubeau Jean-François , De Jaeger Emmanuel , Vallée François
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Wind farm layout optimization usually aims at maximizing annual energy production by placing wind turbines in a strategic way to avoid wake losses. However, this might not lead to optimal profits because of the volatility of electricity prices. Moreover, with the growing unpredictability and variability of future power systems due to the increase of renewable electricity production, wind farm operators will have a more important role in balancing the system through participation to reserve markets. This study presents a new formulation for wind farm layout optimization where the objective function aims at maximizing revenues from both day-ahead and reserve markets. It uses stochastic gradient descent for the optimization and probabilistic forecasts for wind power and electricity prices. The new formulation is applied on a test case based on a real-life offshore wind farm in Belgium. An important conclusion is that annual profit is expected to increase in a significant way when accounting for participation to reserve markets, while exhibiting a lower supplied energy production. Moreover, layouts optimized for profit maximization with reserve participation lead to better yearly profits than when considering day-ahead market only in the objective function. Profits are also higher for the new methodology than when using the maximization of annual energy production, widely used in the literature, as objective function.
ПРОБЛЕМИ ВАЛІДНОСТІ ДЖЕРЕЛ СОЦІАЛЬНОГО ПРАВА В КОНТЕКСТІ ПРАВОВОГО МОНІТОРИНГУ
Authors: Мельник Ярослав Ярославович
Published: November 2024

Статтю присвячено з’ясуванню проблем валідності джерел соціального права в контексті правового моніторингу. Автором ставиться мета стосовно вирішення одного з питань завдань правового моніторингу як інструменту права в контексті додаткового «моніторингового напряму» – валідності джерел соціального права. У процесі дослідження автор аналізує статистичні дані та наукові праці стосовно правового моніторингу, джерел (форм) права соціального забезпечення та соціального права, розкриває понятійний апарат валідності. За результатами дослідження автор статті доходить висновку, що проблеми валідності джерел соціального права в контексті правового моніторингу лежать у площині констатації «валідністю» факту здійснення правового моніторингу стосовно цих джерел (форм) права. У висновках автор статті акцентує увагу на тому, що, як міра «адекватності», валідність не що інше, як інструмент для аналізу самих «інструментів правового моніторингу» (а) закладених у Законі № 3354–IX від 24 серпня 2023 року (тобто перевірки їхнього внутрішнього стану на предмет адекватності та можливості здійснити ефективний правовий моніторинг); а також валідність є (б) інструментом для забезпечення здійснення правового моніторингу стосовно оцінювання адекватності джерел (форм) соціального права. Валідизація джерел соціального права є не що інше, як процес їх правового моніторингу (під час якого такий здійснюється), що дозволяє визначити особливості нормативно-правового акта (як об’єкта валідизації), забезпечити прогнозування реалізації нормативно-правового акта соціального права, стану соціального законодавства (джерел (форм) соціального права) та поведінки учасників правовідносин, які виникають у сфері соціального права. Автор констатує, що валідність є результатом у контексті «оцінки» джерел (форм) соціального права з погляду проведення правового моніторингу стосовно таких джерел. Це підштовхує до практичного висновку, який полягає в тому, що проаналізований той чи інший нормативно-правовий акт, як джерело (форма) соціального права, має характеризуватися як валідний чи ні. Адже за такого погляду постають якість і ефективність, затребуваність і дієвість нормативно-правового акта соціального права, як і відповідність його предмету правової реальності.
Making Men: Investigating Adolescent Boys' Experiences of a School-Based Rites of Passage Program
Authors:   , Kingsman Johanna
Published: November 2024

This thesis examines how a school-based rites of passage program influences adolescent boys' understandings of their identities and their transitions to adulthood. Set in an Australian all-boys’ school, the study investigates whether such programs can challenge harmful gender norms and foster positive identity development. Findings show that while the program enhances personal growth and peer relationships, it falls short in promoting a deeper understanding of gender equity issues. This research highlights the need for rites of passage programs to encourage boys to critically engage with and rethink traditional ideas of harmful masculinities and power.
The kitsch dimension of paleoart
Authors: Amorós Gabriela , Carrión José
Published: November 2024

Much of the discourse on aesthetic theory can be articulated around an emerging artistic discipline called paleoart. The kitsch phenomenon, which has been extensively discussed in the realm of general art theory, can intrude into areas where aesthetic significance is present. One of these areas is within the framework of paleoart and the artistic reconstructions of the distant past. Although the coordinates of this discipline are highly regulated—relying on other areas of knowledge that converge to reveal the appearance of a lost world—paleoart cannot escape the increasingly widespread loss of the aura of the artwork that Walter Benjamin proclaimed. Paleoart has also not been spared from the ethics and morals of its time, nor from the intrusion of the playful and the lack of original significance as a transfer of scientific knowledge. And it is through this blurry film that kitsch operates to stay. We would then be right to speak of a new term: paleokitsch.
Between Sodom and Babylon
Authors: Briatore Samuele
Published: November 2024

This study delves into the critical moments of interaction and conflict between Catholicism and homosexuality within Italian society, through the unique point of view of the catholic homosexuals.
The analysis takes into consideration a corpus of documents often considered minor: letters to the editor featured in magazine mail sections, particularly focusing on those sent to 'Babilonia', a monthly magazine catering to the homosexual audience, between 1983 and 2000. These letters provide a unique window into the social aspect of homosexuality in the deeply divided Catholic Italian context ( Pasquini 2023). Furthermore, the corpus allows to explore coping strategies as social acts by Catholic homosexuals, including priests, to address stigma and reconcile their conflicting identities. This examination sheds light on their efforts to navigate between two worlds perceived as contradictory (O' Brien 2004; Arnone 2018).

Published: November 2024

The uncertainty associated with the prospective Energy Yield Assessment (EYA) of a wind farm may be reduced by re-estimating the energy yield after it enters normal operation. This study aims to validate a simple methodology for conducting post-construction EYA of an operational wind farm. The proposed methodology derives a linear relationship between a historical source of wind speed data and the observed wind farm production on a monthly basis.In the first stage, the impact of different data sources on the accuracy of the Long-Term energy yield estimate was assessed. Results suggest that the determination coefficient R is a reliable indicator for selecting the most adequate source of historical wind speed data to be used in the Long-Term energy yield estimate.In the second stage, the model was validated from a statistical point of view by testing the premises of the linear regression model, namely the significance of the linear correlation (ANOVA test), and the normally-distributed (Shapiro-Wilk test), non-self-correlated (Durbin-Watson), and homoscedastic (Breusch-Pagan test) residuals. Results show these premises are verified for most test cases, indicating that the model is statistically robust for most test cases.

The standard method of testing iron ores, due to its high labor intensity and low representativeness, cannot serve as a basis for controlling the quality of ores in the process of their extraction and processing. The proposed spectrometric modification of the gamma-albedo method makes it possible to exclude labor-intensive operations for grinding ores, preparing analytical samples (~0.1 mm) and directly chemical analysis for iron. Studies of the spectral distribution of the scattered gamma radiation of the radioisotope source Se-75 (~220 keV) on ores with different iron content revealed critical energies and zones of their displacement depending on the quality of the ore and the energy of the scattered gamma radiation. The found critical energies in the spectral distribution of the albedo of gamma radiation made it possible to choose the optimal energy intervals in the hard (above the critical energy) and soft (below the critical energy) regions of the spectrum in terms of the maximum contrast ratio Ψ of the scattered gamma radiation intensities measured in the selected energy intervals, with a change in the concentration of iron. In the process of testing the proposed modification of the method for monitoring the iron content in partially prepared samples weighing ~ 60 kg, with a particle size of 40 mm, a root-mean-square error of 1.32% abs was achieved.

Authors: Ghazi Zeshan Jalil , Khalid Waleed , Rasheed Abdul
Published: November 2024

This study analyzes the impact of value relevance of accounting information on stock returns of firms in the case of initial public offerings in Pakistan using the data of 92 firms conducting initial public offerings (IPOs) registered on the Pakistan Stock Exchange from 2000 to 2022. The data of all the variables has been collected from the annual published reports of firms and the PSX data stream. The study found that the variables earnings-per-share, change in earnings-per-share and book value are positively and significantly related to stock returns of firms before initial public offerings (IPOs). However, the variables net income, change in net income, and dividend per share are positively but insignificantly related to the stock returns of firms before initial public offerings. The study also found that the variables earnings-per-share and change in earnings-per-share are positively and significantly related to the stock returns of firms during IPOs. In contrast, the variables book value net income, change in net income, and dividend per share are found to be insignificant factors of stock returns of firms during IPOs. Lastly, the results also show that earnings-per-share, change in earnings-per-share, and book value are positively and significantly related to the stock returns of firms after five years of initial public offerings while the variables net income, change in net income and dividend per share are found to be insignificant factors of stock returns of firms after five years of initial public offerings. Keeping in view the outcomes, it is concluded that accounting information variables play an imperative role in influencing the stock returns of firms conducting initial public offerings in Pakistan.
Human Resource Management Practices and Firms’ Performance: A Review of Mediating Models
Authors: Khan Warda Sajid , Qureshi Ghazia Khoula , Awan Ayesha
Published: November 2024

This study aims to categorize the processes that mediate the company's performance in HR practices to offer a better-organized comprehension of the operation of this process. Important themes and arbitrage kinds were taken out and examined to determine the ranks. The breadth of the examined publications places limitations on the investigation, perhaps making all potential mediation strategies unfeasible. Moreover, the updated research's diverse sectors and circumstances could restrict how broadly the findings can be applied. When creating their HR strategy, organizations should take hierarchical arbitrage approaches into account. This will help to ensure that their approach is in line with whether the goal impact is at the individual employee or firm-wide level. It can enhance HR procedures to get better performance results. Future studies should examine the ways in which various settings (such as industry-specific characteristics) influence the relative importance of individual vs firm-level arbitrage mechanisms. To validate these categories in a variety of organizational situations, more empirical research is required.

Published: November 2024

Let H = (V,E) be a simple graph. A subset S of V(H) is an equivalence set if the subgraph induced by S is component-wise complete. Let P = {V1,V2, , Vk} be a partition of V (H) where each Vi,1 ≤ i ≤ k is an equivalence set of H. The partition P is called a colourful domination equivalence partition if the set D = {u1,u2, , uk} where ui,1 ≤ i ≤ k are suitably chosen vertices one each from Vi, 1 ≤ i ≤ k is a dominating set. The trivial partition where every partite set is a singleton is an example of a colourful domination equivalence partition. The minimum cardinality of such a partition is called colourful domination equivalence partition number of G and is denoted by χγeq (H). Asubset S = {u1,u2, ,ur}ofV(H)iscalledaresolvingset of H if forany v in V (H), the codeofv withrespecttoS namely(d(v,u1), , d(v,ur)) (denotedbycS(v)) is distinct for distinct v where d(v,ui) denotes the distance between v and ui . Since u1, , ur are evidently resolved by S, it is enough if vertices in V − S are resolved by S. Given a proper colour partition P = {V1,V2, , Vk}, a resolving set S = {u1,u2, , uk} is said to be colourful with respect to P if ui ∈ Vi for every i, 1 ≤ i ≤ k. A proper colour partition P is said to be a colour resolving colour partition if some set of vertices, one each from each colour class is a revolving set. The minimum cardinality of a resolving set of H is called the metric dimension of G [8] and is denoted by Dim(H). The trivial partition consisting of n singletons where n is the order of H is a colourful resolving colour partition of H. The minimum cardinality of a colourful resolving colour partition of H is denoted by χre(H). Astudy of these two new parameters is initiated in this paper.
Sugeno capacities for the extension of exponential and hyperbolic discounting to fuzzy integrals
Authors: Alcantud Jose Carlos R.
Published: November 2024

This article produces a blend between the fields of time discounting and fuzzy integrals. By exploiting the mathematical properties of the Sugeno capacities, we can produce a Choquet integral that simultaneously is subadditive and coincides with either the exponential or hyperbolic discounting additive formulas in the evaluation of individual time moments. Numerical analyses guarantee that the new valuation procedures are different from their additive counterparts
Navigating Decision Making with Generalized Temporal Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Soft Sets
Authors: Kamacı Huseyin , Petchimuthu Subramanian , Banu M Fathima , Ozlu Serif
Published: November 2024

The study addresses the challenges posed by evolving data within generalized intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Traditional methods often fall short in handling such complexity. To overcome this, we introduce the concept of a generalized temporal intuitionistic fuzzy set, extending the traditional framework to incorporate temporal dynamics. Additionally, we define a generalized temporal intuitionistic fuzzy soft set, integrating temporal aspects into the soft set framework. Recognizing the need for advanced operations like union and intersection to merge opinions across different periods, we propose practical solutions for decision-making in this dynamic context. Two novel multi-criteria decision-making methods are introduced, specifically designed to address decision-making problems within generalized temporal intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets. We develop Scilab codes for these methods, enabling the creation of a multiple-input single-output system. This system is applied to complex real-life examples, involving numerous parameters, time moments, and decision-makers. This comprehensive approach aims to provide robust tools and methodologies for decision-making processes amidst the intricate dynamics of temporal data within the framework of generalized temporal intuitionistic fuzzy sets.
Bipolar Complex Fuzzy Rough Sets and Their Applications in Multicriteria Decision Making
Authors: Mahmood Tahir , Hussain Azam , Rehman Ubaid Ur , Ahmmad Jabbar
Published: November 2024

Bipolar complex fuzzy set (BCFS) is a more advanced and powerful phenomenon as it consists of two-dimensional data with positive and negative impacts of an element. It can solve the data consisting of the positive and negative impacts of an element which is a bipolar fuzzy set (BFS). It also covers the two-dimensional complex data which is a complex fuzzy set (CFS). Due to these attributes, BFS and CFS are less useful in comparison with BCFS to capture vagueness, complexity, and ambiguity in the data. Furthermore, lower and upper approximations based on equivalency relations constitute another significant phenomenon known as rough set (RS). This structure is also more powerful in dealing with real-life dilemmas. Rather than comparing the RS and BCFS, we combine both phenomena to handle the complexity more powerfully to deal with such types of phenomena that are not handled by other structures. So, by combining both phenomena, we introduce a novel structure known to be bipolar complex fuzzy rough set (BCFRS) in this manuscript. After that, we define some important operations, some significant properties related to this structure, and some aggregation operators (AOs) to solve decision-making (DM) problems related to cyber security. We address a practical application of cyber security (C-S) in computing for the protection of critical data to demonstrate the usefulness of the multi-attribute DM(MADM) approach. Based on the various criteria and attributes given by the experts, we find the best and better alternative to the C-S by applying the MADM approach. We get the A4 as the best and finest alternative by using bipolar complex fuzzy rough (BCFR) weighted arithmetic averaging (BCFRWAA), BCFR ordered weighted arithmetic averaging (BCFROWAA), and BCFR ordered weighted geometric averaging (BCFROWGA) operators. And, by using BCFR weighted geometric averaging (BCFRWGA), we get the A3 as the finest alternative. Lastly, to prove the superiority, validity, and generalization of our unique established theory, we give a detailed comparative study of our established work with several prevalent theories.

Comprehensive Preclinical Evaluation of the Valvuloplasty Embossing Balloon: Thrombo-Resistance and Safety in a Porcine Model
Authors: Kumar Minocha Dr. Pramod , Khusboo Shah
Published: November 2024

The study investigated the thrombo-resistance of the Valvuloplasty Embossing Balloon in a clinically relevant Porcine model. Male swine were chosen for preclinical testing, following standard fasting protocols to mitigate potential confounders. The balloon was deployed in the descending thoracic aorta, aided by a guide wire, to circumvent complications associated with valvular space inflation. Despite the inability to reach valvular space, the study aimed to evaluate the device's thrombogenicity. Angiographic imaging revealed the balloon's excellent performance, maintaining consistent retrograde contrast flow during inflation and deflation without thrombus formation. Post-procedural examination showed no signs of thrombus formation or coagulation on the balloon's surface or at the target sites. Additionally, necropsy findings confirmed the absence of thrombus formation or injury to the aorta's luminal interface, indicating the device's thrombo-resistance. Hematology and clinical chemistry parameters remained stable before and after the procedure, affirming the absence of systemic effects. The mean thrombus formation score of 0 indicated no significant thrombosis, highlighting the device's thrombo-resistant nature. Notably, no adverse events or safety concerns were reported. In conclusion, the Valvuloplasty Embossing Balloon demonstrated thrombo-resistance in the porcine model, supporting its safety and efficacy for clinical use in valvuloplasty procedures.

Key words: Thrombo-resistance, Valvuloplasty Embossing Balloon, Porcine Model, thrombogenicity, angiographic imaging, necropsy findings, thrombus formation.
Préambule. Fabrique de l’opinion et folie de la dissidence dans le « complot » selon Rousseau
Authors:   FABLITT, Université Paris-VIII-Vincennes-Saint-Denis, CITTON Yves
Published: November 2024

This article offers an actualizing reading of Rousseau’s autobiographical works (Confessions, Dialogues, Rêveries) that shifts the usual analytical framework regarding the conspiracy of which the writer and philosopher presented himself as the target. Rather than reducing this “conspiracy” to a subjective structure, Citton considers it as the symptom of a socio-historical evolution that led to the emergence of public opinion – which has conditioned and heralded the development of a dissidence that may not be as delirious as it seems.
Les conspirations d’un romancier historique : Dumas, les sociétés secrètes et la Révolution
Authors:   LASLAR, Université de Caen Normandie, ANSELMINI Julie
Published: November 2024

It would be very reductive to consider the revolutionary secret societies represented by Dumas as a simple historic seasoning. In his historical novels, in particular the cycle of Mémoires d’un médecin, the Illuminati are a dramatic engine of the narrative, which they structure with consistency; but their main mission is to embody the republican principle that imbues history, until dark times, and to support Providence in its great conspiracy of progress.
