The Architecture of Multiplanet Systems as a Tracer of Their Formation Mechanisms
Authors: Arora Udit , Hasegawa Yasuhiro
Published: July 2021

Exoplanets observed by the Kepler telescope exhibit a bimodal, radius distribution, which is known as the radius gap. We explore an origin of the radius gap, focusing on multiplanet systems. Our simple theoretical argument predicts that type I planetary migration produces different configurations of protoplanets with different masses and such different configurations can result in two distinguishable populations of small-sized multiplanet systems. We then perform an observational analysis to verify this prediction. In the analysis, multiple Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests are applied to the observed systems, using the statistical measures that are devised to systematically characterize the properties of multiplanet systems. We find with 99.5% confidence that the observed, small-sized multiplanet systems are divided into two distinct populations. The distinction likely originates from different spatial distributions of protoplanets, which are determined by type I migration and subsequently trigger giant impact. We also show that these distinct populations are separated around the radius gap when the gas surface density of protoplanetary disks is ∼102 g cm−2 in the vicinity of the host stars. This work therefore emphasizes the importance of planetary migration and the inner disk properties.

Un panorama des ondes non ionisantes acoustiques (ONIA) et de leurs principaux usages
Authors: Avan Paul
Published: July 2021

Parmi les agents physiques, les ondes ont la capacité de se propager, véhiculant avec elles de l’information, mais aussi, parfois, un danger lié à leur énergie ou aux transformations qu’elles induisent. Les ondes acoustiques sous-tendent l’audition, un sens privilégié pour la communication intra et inter-espèces, magnifié par l’espèce humaine qui en fait le support de la parole et de la musique. Le pouvoir de nuisance voire de dangerosité des ondes sonores audibles, lorsqu’elles viennent interférer, de manière souvent insidieuse, avec le confort ou la santé des individus exposés, est un des grands problèmes de santé des décennies à venir, comme le met en exergue l’OMS. Mais l’acoustique engendre aussi des progrès pour la santé en permettant, dans des intervalles d’hyperfréquences non utilisés par l’audition, la mise en œuvre de techniques d’imagerie du corps dépourvues de danger et de très haute résolution, et qui sont en outre peu coûteuses et donc accessibles aux pays les plus démunis.
Prevalence of Comorbid Anxiety-Anxiety Disorders and the Effect of Comorbidity on Anxiolytic Treatment
Authors: Weber Samuel R. , Holbrook Erica R. , Palettas Marilly , Duchemin Anne-Marie
Published: July 2021

Anxiety disorders are frequently comorbid with other anxiety disorders. This study examines the prevalence of anxiety-anxiety comorbidity in an outpatient sample and whether comorbidity affected the prescription of anxiolytic medications. This is a retrospective study of 1,930 patients with anxiety diagnoses in an academic setting. Univariable logistic regression was used to assess associations between single anxiety disorders, anxiety-anxiety comorbidity, and anxiolytic use. In this study, 22.3% of patients had two or more anxiety disorders. Comorbidity was present in more than one-half of patients with panic disorder, specific phobia, and social anxiety disorder, and in less than one-half of patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), or anxiety disorder not otherwise specified. Age, panic disorder, GAD, social anxiety disorder, OCD, PTSD, and specific phobia increased the odds of having comorbidity. Comorbidity was associated with increased likelihood of receiving benzodiazepines, antidepressants, antipsychotics, hydroxyzine, and buspirone. Providers should be mindful to screen for comorbidity as a potential factor that could affect treatment.

Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on the Mother-Infant Social-Emotional Well-Being in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Authors: Imran Nazish , Liaqat Sumbul , Bodla Zubair Hassan , Zeshan Muhammad , Naveed Sadiq
Published: July 2021

The “Ghosts in the Nursery” metaphor demonstrates how the impact of parental adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) persist across the lifespan and confers risk to the psychosocial development of subsequent generations. Mothers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) suffer increased vulnerability to ACEs because of complex biological, psychological, economic, social, and environmental risk factors, which, in turn, prevent children from attaining their developmental potential. This article reviews the evidence of maternal ACEs' impact on child social and emotional developmental outcomes in LMICs as well as possible psychological and neurobiological mechanisms for intergenerational transmission of ACEs. Clinical implications of elucidating the association between ACEs and subsequent sequelae on child development highlights the need to screen for maternal ACEs in prenatal and pediatric settings. A main emphasis of this article is to promote child mental health prevention intervention by focusing on addressing maternal ACEs and by helping caregivers to be “Angels in the Nursery.” Angels in the Nursery are characterized by care-receiving experiences that provide the child with a core sense of self-worth and security that can be drawn upon when the child becomes a parent to interrupt the cycle of maltreatment and thus effectively promote child mental health.

Published: July 2021

Pregnancy can be a colossal change for some women, with the commencement of motherhood possibly generating emotional health problems, including peripartum depression (PPD). PPD significantly affects the parent-child relationship, which is the foundation for the socioemotional development of the child. In this article, we reviewed the association between PPD and resilience, and identified their mediators and moderators. Eight studies were included after a rigorous screening process. There was a significant relationship between PPD and childhood resiliency, resulting in an increased risk of psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. Maternal sensitivity and emotional availability were possible mediators. Maternal education, income level, maternal trauma, life adversities, marital conflicts, and perceived social support were reported moderators. This article highlights the need for timely recognition and treatment of PPD with targeted interventions to improve the parent-child relationship.

Professional Learning Communities
Authors: Jarvie Lindsey , Waldow Jason
Published: July 2021

Thriving in today's global society means meeting the demands for success by simple provisional steps or internal and organizational paradigm shifts. As organizations command numerous departments, oversee a diverse workforce, and have various agendas and goals, creating and maintaining a culture of collaboration and inclusion is vital but challenging. Professional learning communities (PLCs) are a way for colleagues from all areas of an organization to connect. PLCs have been a proven strategy for fostering collaboration, expanding scholarship, and enhancing professional efficacy. The intention of a PLC is to confront a challenge, meet a goal, or implement a change for the good of the organization while also building a sense of community through collaboration. This chapter will emphasize how PLCs contribute to experiential learning, inclusive learning settings, and address common communication challenges.
Building a Framework for Transformation in Higher Education
Authors: Lattimer Heather , Pizarro Marcos
Published: July 2021

In this chapter, the authors share their experiences leading transformation in the Connie L. Lurie College of Education at San José State University in California.

Boosting L2 Listening Comprehension Through Web-Based Listening Activities on Reduced Forms
Authors: Gulozer Kaine
Published: July 2021

In the field of second language (L2) perception, there is a common adherence to quantitative methods to examine reduced forms (RFs). This chapter extends the field by reporting on an investigation that analyzed L2 listeners' perceptions of RFs in English from a qualitative perspective. RFs instruction through web-based activities was delivered to a total of 80 learners of English of varying proficiency for five weeks. Twenty participants reflected on their performance on RFs listening tasks and provided justifications for their perceptions of the target RFs. Qualitative analysis revealed that the RFs that influenced L2 learners' perceptions of RFs were linking, pause phenomena, and assimilation. The results of using such qualitative methodology highlights the important role that RFs plays in perception judgements in syllable-timed languages such as Turkish, a factor which has not always been given much prominence in previous L2 fluency quantitative research.

Authors: Kamali Saraji Mahyar , Streimikiene Dalia , Lauzadyte-Tutliene Agne
Published: July 2021

The present study proposes a novel integrated SWARA-CRITIC-COPRAS under the Pythagorean fuzzy (PF) environment to evaluate the barriers to developing the sustainable business model innovation (SBMI). To this end, the barriers were identified through the literature review and evaluated by three decision experts using linguistic variables. The PF-SWARA and the PF-CRITIC method were applied to calculate the weight of the subjective and objective barriers, and the PF-COPRAS was applied to evaluate alternatives concerning the identified weighted barriers, and sensitivity and comparative analyses were performed to evaluate the proposed method's performance. The results indicated that “lack of awareness” is the most significant barrier to SBMI and the proposed method is accurate, applicable, and reliable due to its sensitivity to weight changes
Alternative Consumption Models for a Sustainable World
Authors: Buğday Esna Betül
Published: July 2021

In consumer society in which the concept of consuming for the sake of consumption is adapted and individualist ideology comes to the forefront, the fact that the individuals consume irresponsibly and without thinking makes people face many risks and problems in environmental, social, and ethical aspects. By damaging and polluting the ecosystem we live in and changing the structure of society, the consumer society's prescribed and imposed lifestyle drags individuals into unhappiness and prepares the ground for many ecological, ethical, and social risks. As a result, more responsible and greening of consumption is seen as a prerequisite for the growth of a sustainable economy and society. Shaping a sustainable development path is a major challenge that will result in significant changes in future production and consumption processes. In order to adopt a more sustainable life, people should abandon the oppressive consumption habits of the consumer society and adopt alternative consumption models.

Social media has revolutionized human communication and styles of interaction. Due to its effectiveness and ease, people have started using it increasingly to share and exchange information, carry out discussions on various events, and express their opinions. Various communities may have diverse sentiments about events and it is an interesting research problem to understand the sentiments of a particular community for a specific event. In this article, the authors propose a framework CommuniMents which enables us to identify the members of a community and measure the sentiments of the community for a particular event. CommuniMents uses automated snowball sampling to identify the members of a community, then fetches their published contents (specifically tweets), pre-processes the contents and measures the sentiments of the community. The authors perform qualitative and quantitative evaluation for a variety of real world events to validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
Which is the Best Way to Measure Job Performance
Authors: Kock Ned
Published: July 2021

Among latent variables that can be used in e-collaboration research, job performance is a particularly important one. It measures what most e-collaboration tools in organizations aim to improve, namely the performance at work of individuals executing tasks collaboratively with others. The authors report on a comparative assessment of scores generated based on a self-reported job performance measurement instrument vis-à-vis official annual performance evaluation scores produced by supervisors. The results suggest that the self-reported measurement instrument not only presents good validity, good reliability and low collinearity; but that it may well be a better way of measuring job performance than supervisor scores.

An exploration into web analytics will also be explored as evidence of social media impact. The chapter will use case-studies of the Ursula C. Schwerin Library of the New York City College of Technology (City Tech), CUNY, and how social media platforms are used to advertise library events and disseminate news.

Pictures speak louder than words. In this fast-moving world where people hardly have time to read anything, photo-sharing sites become more and more popular. Instagram is being used by millions of people and has created a “sharing ecosystem” that also encourages curation, expression, and produces feedback. Museums are moving quickly to integrate Instagram into their marketing strategies, provide information, engage with audience and connect to other museums Instagram accounts. Taking into consideration that people may not see museum accounts in the same way that the other museum accounts do, the article first describes accounts' performance of the top, most visited museums worldwide and next investigates their interconnection. The analysis uses techniques from social network analysis, including visualization algorithms and calculations of well-established metrics. The research reveals the most important modes of the network by calculating the appropriate centrality metrics and shows that the network formed by the museum Instagram accounts is a scale–free small world network.

Published: July 2021

This article describes how knowledge is one of the most important assets in organizations which should be carefully managed and is continuously generated throughout an organization. Knowledge sharing is a process through which, one person is affected by the experiences of another. This involves more than simply acquiring or transmitting knowledge from one party to another, but is a process of exchanging and processing knowledge in a way that knowledge of one person can be integrated and used in by another person. Plenty of studies on knowledge sharing have been examined by numerous companies. However, not many empirical studies have been conducted in accordance with the framed model of ICT as a determinant and sharing of knowledge through social media within IT companies. This empirical study is aimed at identifying the critical ICT factors for enriching the knowledge sharing among employees through social media in IT organizations. The expected outcome of this study will be analyzing and establishing the causal relationships between the ICT influencing factors and knowledge sharing through social media.

The study examines how consumers, in a Facebook eWOM context, perceived source and message credibility by utilizing self-shared and system-generated cues. It investigates:(1) to what extent source and message credibility derived from these cues may lead to significant attitudinal responses and intentions to purchase; (2) and to what extent attitudinal responses are likely to vary with different levels and combinations of these credibility cues. Data was collected from 246 respondents who were exposed to Facebook eWOM scenarios. The structural model results confirm that the perceived source and message credibility derived from self-shared and system-generated cues are significant antecedents to purchase-related consideration for a brand. The results further confirm that these cues have an overall balancing effect: one compensates for the low level of the other leading to a significant persuasive response. The study evaluates traditional antecedents of WOM adoption, namely, perceived source and message credibility derived from unique interface-related features.

Published: July 2021

While the use of social media offers great opportunities to interact with customers and business partners, there are significant risks associated with this technology if a clear strategy has not been defined to address both the risks and the benefits that come along with it. The best approach for an organization to effectively utilize the benefits of this technology is to engage all relevant stakeholders and establish a strategy that addresses the pertinent issues. The organization needs to have in place relevant policies so as to be able to achieve it. To be able to identify the most frequent risks and their source, we captured breach data from various sources. In the chapter, we analyzed that the most important source of risk that can occur due to use of social media for a company is from its own workforce and an employee might find various ways of doing so.

A significant amount information can be relayed on Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, but the question remains whether or not organizations are using this to their advantage, especially in the era of big data. The present study used a sample of working professionals that were knowledgeable in the various options of social networking to test these assumptions. The three hypotheses dealt with the interplay of online social networking, advertising effectiveness, gender and age trends, and remaining the interplay with positive comments of the use of the “like” function and its impacts on consumer behavior, as derived from the review of relevant operations literature and from applying the basic tenants of uses and gratification theory. All three specific research hypotheses were accepted in the null form.
