A model of a microfluidic biomedical device has been proposed, using the magnetocaloric effect of the FeRh alloy to control the wetting of modified channels using a thermosensitive polymer, PNIPAM. This approach to local cooling offers significant advantages over traditional resistance heating methods, as it allows both cooling and heating of microchannels at high speed and with low inertia, which is especially important for temperature control in microfluids. Through computer simulation, it has been shown that when a magnetic field of 1.8 T is applied to the microchannel coated with thermoresponsive PNIPAM, the temperature can be cooled to a critical solubility temperature (> 32°C) within 0.04 seconds, much faster than resistive or thermoelectric cooling. The proposed method has the potential to generate microdroplets for a variety of applications in biomedicine and pharmacology.

Transmission Networks of Long-term and Short-term Knowledge in a Foraging Society
Authors: Jang Haneul , Redhead Daniel
Published: December 2024

Cultural transmission across generations is key to cumulative cultural evolution. While several mechanisms---such as vertical, horizontal, and oblique transmission---have been studied for decades, how these mechanisms change across the life course, beyond childhood. Furthermore, it remains under-explored whether different mechanisms apply to distinct forms of learning processes: long-term learning---where individuals invest time and effort to acquire skills---and short-term learning---where individuals share information of immediate use. To investigate the network structure of these two types of knowledge transmission---long-term learning of foraging skills and short-term learning of food location information---we present social network data (1,633 nominations) collected from all 132 inhabitants (aged 4 to 75) of a BaYaka community in the Republic of the Congo. Applying latent network models that estimate and adjust for measurement biases typical to self-reported data, we find that the demographic structure of a population---age distribution, sex, kinship, and marriage---shapes the dynamics of community-wide knowledge transmission. Foraging skills are transmitted within smaller, sparser networks with limited reciprocity, whereas food location information is exchanged more widely and reciprocally among peers. Both long-term and short-term knowledge transmission extend into adulthood, with adults learning from older adults, peers, and marital partners, and sharing knowledge with younger generations. Crucially, individuals tend to report more accurately about the partners with whom they shared knowledge than about those from whom they received knowledge. Our findings provide important empirical evidence on how community-wide cultural transmission is structured by demography and perception, and how these factors operate across different learning processes in a real-world foraging society.

Authors: Yi Wei , Zhao Yihan , Wang Wanxin
Published: December 2024

Multiword expressions have been a prominent research topic in applied linguistics and second language acquisition. However, no bibliometric analysis has been conducted to examine the landscape of this field. Using CiteSpace, we analyzed 1,302 research articles published from 1983 to 2024, retrieved from the Web of Science database. We performed various bibliometric analyses based on citation, co-citation information, and keywords from the publications to identify the most influential authors, scholarly documents, and journals in the field. We also visualized collaboration networks between authors, research institutions, and countries. Additionally, we identified the key research areas and the most frequently discussed topics over different time periods. By tracking and visualizing the patterns in research on multiword expressions over the past four decades, our study offers insights into the intellectual structure and dynamics of this field, thereby guiding future research of larger-than-word units.
La religieuse et l’écoute de l’Esprit pour l’évangélisation en profondeur selon Simone PACOT
Authors: Raoul KOUASSI Kpa Yao
Published: December 2024

La vie religieuse est le choix d’une vie qui est dite spéciale surtout qu’il faut des sacrifices et du discernement. La religieuse est avant tout une femme. Comme telle, elle rencontre aussi de nombreux obstacles dans ce monde remplit de toutes les formes de contradictions et les incitations à la paresse. Pour les surmonter, la religieuse doit toujours écouter la voie inspiration pour bien accomplir sa mission. Si pour S. Pacot, l’Esprit n’agit jamais seul, il faut la collaboration humaine dans l’écoute de l’Esprit. Ici, nous voulons insister sur la collaboration de la religieuse avec l’Esprit et montrer comment celle-ci peut changer sa manière d’annoncer l’évangile à travers l’évangélisation en profondeur.
Investigating the Predictors of Entrepreneurial Intention of Undergraduate Students: Evidence from Multiple Countries
Authors: Mariana Ana , Hadianto Bram
Published: December 2024

This study aims to investigate and analyze the entrepreneurial intention determinants by utilizing the planned behavior theory from Ajzen (1991) based on the perspective of higher education students from four countries, i.e., Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Taiwan. The planned factors are entrepreneurial attitude (EA), subjective norms (SN), and perceived control behavior (PCB). Furthermore, this study adopts a quantitative design and utilizes the structural equation model and its related statistical features to examine the proposed three hypotheses. Because of the unknown population size, this study uses the snowball sampling method. This sampling method, supported by the survey technique, makes 175 responses collectible and applicable. After testing and analyzing their response, this study concludes a positive influence of EA, SN, and PCB on the intention to be a tycoon. Based on these realities, this study recommends that the students need an optimistic mindset to face and overcome the challenges in the marketplace, the people encouraging them by giving advice and financial support, and high self-trust to succeed when running the business.
The Many Faces of Narcissism: A Question of Situation Perception?
Authors: Bauditz Sophie Charlotte , Ziegler Matthias , Wright Aidan G.C. , Hess Ursula
Published: December 2024

This study investigated the correlations and transactions between narcissistic states—narcissistic agency, antagonism, and vulnerability—and situation perceptions using the DIAMONDS framework. Participants (N = 183) engaged in weekly online group discussions over six weeks, simulating a natural acquaintance process. Results showed significant correlations: Situation perceptions of Positivity related to heightened narcissistic agency, while Duty and Negativity perceptions were linked to narcissistic antagonism and vulnerability. A Random-Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Model revealed person-situation transactions, with situation perceptions often preceding changes in narcissistic states. For example, perceptions of Intellect and Positivity increased narcissistic agency, while Intellect, Duty, and Negativity triggered higher-than-usual narcissistic antagonism. Findings highlight the role of situation perceptions in shaping narcissistic state variability.
Towards Sustainable E-Commerce: Consumer Preferences for Reducing Packaging Waste in Indonesia—A PLS-SEM Analysis
Authors: Nadi Muhammad Hang , Wasesa Meditya
Published: December 2024

This study examines how Indonesian e-commerce platforms, particularly Tokopedia, can mitigate the environmental impact of overpackaging waste by exploring the effects of sustainable packaging materials, recycling systems, and environmental awareness campaigns on consumer preferences. The research hypothesizes that consumer support for eco-friendly packaging is positively influenced by advancements in packaging design, recycling infrastructure, and environmental education, and highlights the role of government interventions in shaping business and consumer behaviors. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM), the study provides insights into sustainable practices within Indonesia’s e-commerce sector, emphasizing value co-creation among consumers, businesses, and policymakers. Findings reveal that consumers highly value optimized packaging, recycling systems with incentives, and eco-conscious brand practices, though incentives and taxes alone are insufficient for driving change. This research offers actionable recommendations for reducing the environmental impact of e-commerce packaging waste and aligns with consumer expectations for sustainability in online shopping.

Published: December 2024

Reducing demand for wildlife products from threatened species requires an in-depth understanding of consumers. Pangolins (Manidae spp.) may benefit from reduced consumer demand in Asia, yet there is a dearth of information about pangolin consumers in China, arguably the most important market. The aim of this research is to (1) estimate the prevalence of consumption of pangolin products in Guangdong Province, China (2) segment consumers of pangolin scales based on psychographic information, and (3) explore how messaging can affect pangolin scale consumers’ intention to purchase pangolin products. To achieve these aims, we surveyed Guangdong Province residents using an online market research panel. We estimated the prevalence of pangolin scale use was 34.8%, and the prevalence of pangolin meat and wine use were 38.9% (CI:36.2–41.6%) and 34.2% (CI:32.3–36.2%), respectively, per the nominative technique. We used a latent profile analysis to develop four segments of pangolin scale consumers using theory of planned behaviour variables, where we found key differences in attitudes, consumption motivation, and communication preferences across segments, as well as differences across product types. These findings can be employed to better target strategic messaging to pangolin product consumers, thus increasing the likelihood that demand reduction interventions will be effective.
Facilitating co-creative meetings using a network model
Authors: Menhams Alex , Steventon Hannah , Gladwell Valerie F.
Published: December 2024

Complex public health challenges cannot be solved by siloed problem-solving, and require innovative ways of fostering collaborative thinking, learning and action. This paper presents a collaborative approach for addressing such challenges through co-creative workshops called “Challenge Labs” that use a distributed network model of meeting to invite innovation.The “Challenge Lab” approach provides an effective framework for facilitating workshops that enable diverse stakeholders to play an active role in developing solutions to complex issues. It is grounded in four principles: identifying a common challenge; inviting diverse viewpoints; interacting as a network; and seeking co-creative solutions. This paper describes the theoretical underpinnings of this method, shares facilitation processes and presents examples of “Challenge Labs” hosted at a UK university, focused on public health issues.Outcomes from “Challenge Labs” have demonstrated the potential of this approach to foster innovative thinking, valuable collaborations, and systemic change in public health challenges. Key benefits of this methodology include greater agency and accountability for participants, and a shift in participants’ attitudes towards ways of addressing complex issues. The paper also discusses limitations and future development, including the need for long-term impact evaluation. The “Challenge Lab” methodology offers a promising approach for higher education institutions to create the conditions for solutions and collaborations to arise from multi-stakeholder workshops. This will contribute to the evolving field of approaches to complex and systemic societal challenges.
Current safety recommendations for handling mouse and human alpha-synuclein fibrils
Authors: Volpicelli-Daley Laura , Fielding Lauren , Menard Marissa , Roth Justin , Dehay Benjamin , Calvo Patricia Augilar
Published: December 2024

α-Synuclein (α-syn) is a 140-amino acid protein that can form amyloid fibrils when misfolded. Aggregated α-syn is the main component of Lewy Bodies and Lewy neurites, pathological markers of synucleinopathies, including Parkinson’s Disease and Dementia with Lewy Bodies. To better understand the role of pathological α-syn in disease, many labs use α-syn preformed fibrils (PFFs) generated from mouse or human recombinant α-syn. The PFFs can be added to neurons in a dish or injected into rodents or primates. Neurons take up the PFFs, which act as seeds to corrupt endogenously expressed α-syn, inducing it to form aggregates very similar to those found in diseased brains. The PFFs are typically generated using recombinant mouse or human α-syn. α-Syn fibrils have also been extracted or amplified from brain tissue extracts, cerebrospinal fluid, or skin biopsies from patients with known synucleinopathy. Pipetting, opening tubes recently removed from the freezer, and sonication of the PFFs to generate fragments could all potentially generate aerosols. Our group consulted with biosafety professionals at the University of Alabama to identify potential risks related to working with α-syn PFFs and offer containment controls to mitigate those risks. The mechanism behind the pathological effect of α-syn remain to be elucidated, but researchers should adhere to strict safety protocols when handling both mouse and human α-syn fibrils to minimize potential exposures. Here, we outline best practices for the safe conduct of research with α-syn fibrils, including personal protective equipment and decontamination procedures. We highlight steps in which extra precautions should be taken, such as during sonication or using sharps, and how to minimize risks.
Are Women Better Politicians? Discrimination, Gender Quotas, and Electoral Accountability
Authors: Desai Zuheir , KAREKURVE-RAMACHANDRA VARUN , Montero Sergio
Published: December 2024

Gender quotas have been instrumental in addressing the political underrepresentation of women, and there is growing evidence that politician gender may significantly affect public policy. Yet the sources of these gender differences have not been examined from an electoral accountability perspective, nor has the role of having a quota system in place. Using novel data on constituent evaluations of municipal councilors in Mumbai, India—where reserved-seat gender quotas are assigned by lottery—we develop and estimate an accountability model in which male incumbents face probabilistic term limits. We find that female councilors significantly outperform their male counterparts, but reserved-seat quotas have countervailing selection and discipline effects. Due to tastebased discrimination by voters, counterfactual experiments reveal that gender quotas are indispensable to ensure women are not politically underrepresented. However, the latter can be achieved while improving voter welfare by mitigating the perverse incentives of term limits.
The Organizational Demography of the U.S. Public Sector, 2002 – 2022
Authors: Lachanski Michael
Published: December 2024

I point estimate tenure table models (TTMs) spanning 2002 to 2022 for jobs in the U.S. state and local government, federal government, and private sector using the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey and biennial Job Tenure Supplements of the Current Population Survey (CPS). Decompositions indicate that most of the public sector (federal government) job stability advantage relative to the private sector (state and local governments) arises from lower job separation hazard soon after hiring rather than later in the employment relationship. Multiple decrement TTMs estimated using the CPS Displaced Workers’ Supplement isolate the effect of job displacements on public-private differences in job stability. Job displacements were only a modest contributor to public-private differences in expected job tenure at hiring.

Authors: Nygren Thomas , Rasmusson Maria , Tväråna Malin , Nilsson Artur , Linden Sander van der
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis study examines how educational orientation, actively open-minded thinking (AOT), and democratic ideals relate to misinformation discernment in an era of misleading media content.MethodologyIn an online survey, nationally representative adults (n=3060) and university students (n=1097) completed measures assessing misinformation discernment, AOT, democratic ideals, and information literacy.FindingsHigher education improves misinformation discernment, though no differences emerged across academic disciplines. AOT, especially low dogmatism and fact resistance, strongly predicts misinformation resilience. Democratic ideals, emphasizing representation and expertise, enhance discernment, while participatory ideals show weaker links. Self-rated information literacy correlates with better discernment, yet advanced techniques like lateral reading and reverse image search remain rare. Political orientation influences outcomes, with Green-voting individuals performing better and right-wing Sweden Democrats worse.ImplicationsThe findings emphasize the need to integrate critical thinking, democratic education, and digital fact-checking skills into curricula across disciplines, strengthening actively open-minded thinking and fostering nuanced democratic perspectives.

Published: December 2024

This research aims to prove two associations. The first is between self-regulated learning (SLR) and student satisfaction. The second is between SLR and educational performance. Indeed, undergraduate accounting students are utilized as a population, and samples are determined using snowball sampling. Furthermore, this research utilizes the covariance-based structural equation model designed for examining hypotheses; therefore, it needs at least 200 students. Then, this research can collect 212 students from numerous higher education institutions in Indonesia as samples. After examining the data, this research demonstrates a positive influence of SLR on student satisfaction and educational performance. At the end of this paper, the practical and academic suggestions exist.

Integrating Cosmology, Gravity Modifications, and Dark Matter-Energy Interactions: A Comprehensive Approach to Understanding Hubble Tension and Cosmic Evolution
Authors: Carrasco-Jiménez Edison
Published: December 2024

The "Dodecahedron Linear String Field Hypothesis" (DLSFH) explores fundamental challenges in modern cosmology, particularly the discrepancy in the Hubble constant (H0H_0H0) values obtained from different cosmic measurements. The hypothesis integrates advancements in gravitational theory, dark matter-energy interactions, and alternative cosmological models to offer a more comprehensive understanding of the universe's evolution. Through the incorporation of higher-order gravitational corrections, dark photon mediation, and bouncing cosmology, DLSFH proposes solutions to the "Hubble tension" and explains accelerated cosmic expansion. The hypothesis also presents a cyclic cosmological model that challenges the conventional Big Bang theory, while experimental data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and gravitational wave observations refine its parameters. This approach not only addresses discrepancies in current cosmological models but also opens new avenues for exploring the early universe’s dynamics.
Healthy cooking leads to healthy choices? Exploring the impact of virtual reality cooking game on healthy eating decisions
Authors: yang yilin , LiuMengying  , Huang Jianping
Published: December 2024

Cooking, as a key aspect of human-food interaction, is crucial for promoting healthy eating. Given the challenges faced by novice cooks and the general lack of interest in cooking, this study proposes using a more engaging cooking game as an alternative to real cooking. Two pre-registered behavioral experiments (N=114) were conducted to examine how cooking with different types of food (healthy vs. unhealthy) in a cooking game affects subsequent food choices, and how the manner of cooking (orderly vs. cluttered) moderates this effect. Study 1 found that cooking healthy food led to more healthy food choices after gaming. Study 2 revealed a significant moderating effect of cooking manner: orderly (vs. cluttered) cooking of healthy food resulted in fewer healthy choices, while orderly (vs. cluttered) cooking of unhealthy food led to more healthy choices. Overall, the findings suggest that even without real cooking, a fun cooking game can serve as a simple and effective strategy to promote healthy eating. The results also highlight the importance of context-specific strategies in designing and implementing health interventions to avoid counterproductive effects due to excessive cues.
What They Don't Tell You About Conspiracy Theories: Genius-Driven Science and Editor-Free Preference Predict Susceptibility to Conspiracy Beliefs
Authors: d'Errico Michele , Yasseri Taha
Published: December 2024

Conspiracy beliefs can negatively impact personal health, democratic engagement, and intergrouprelationships. Pop-science communication often uses narrative elements such as mystery, chance,twists, and hero-journey-like narratives to make its contents more palatable. In this way, a specificconception of scientific progress is promoted: in the beginning, everyone is wrong and blinded byprejudice; the genius arrives with the exact solution; this is mocked or considered insane untileveryone realizes that he was right from the beginning. We hypothesized that a genius-driven viewof science and a preference for editor-free information could influence conspiracy beliefs. Toevaluate this, we administered a 104-item questionnaire to 843 U.S. residents. Genius mentalityand editor-free preference significantly predicted firmer conspiracy beliefs, while trust in scienceand scientists were strong negative predictors. Importantly, genius mentality moderated therelationship between trust in science and conspiracy belief. Editor-free preference moderated therelationship between education and genius mentality. These findings suggest that genius mentalityand editor-free preference influence the perception of science by promoting trust in figures isolatedfrom the mainstream scientific community. The resulting worldview could lead to overestimatingthe influence individuals or small groups can have on complex social systems directly influencingconspiracy beliefs.
Enhancing Multi-Dimensional Music Generation by an LLM-based Data Augmentation Technique
Authors: Kharlashkin Lev
Published: December 2024

This thesis investigates the advancement of AI-driven music generation through the fine-tuning of the MusicGen model, which combines textual descriptions with musical elements like mood, genre and instrumentation to generate stylistically accurate compositions. The study aims to enhance the model's ability to capture multi-dimensional musical attributes, contributing to the field of computational creativity.Techniques such as Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), mixed-precision training and custom tokenization were employed to optimise computational efficiency and incorporate musical tags into the model’s vocabulary. Fine-tuning was conducted on a dataset of approximately 12,760 tracks, with prompts and tags used to guide the model in generating compositions closely aligned with textual inputs.Evaluation includes tag-based analysis and human assessments using a simplified response structure of "Yes," "No," and "I don't know." Results showed notable success in genres like electronic and ambient music but identified challenges with complex multi-tag prompts, such as those involving experimental or chillout genres. Human evaluations also highlighted unintended audio artefacts, such as white noise, present across all tracks, along with issues of data imbalance.These findings contribute to the evolving discourse on AI's potential in creative fields, supporting its role as a tool to aid music composition, with promising applications in music education, production and content creation.

Published: December 2024

The role of soft skills in the professional development of the future generation of IT specialists, especially in UI/UX design, is becoming increasingly important. Setting aside technical expertise in visual design, coding, and user research, the modern UI/UX designer should be able to reveal great interpersonal abilities in designing user-centered solutions. The indispensable soft skills that help in converting complex technical ideas into intuitive, user-friendly design are considered to be communication, teamwork, empathy, problem-solving, and adaptability.Effective communication in design processes aligns stakeholders-designers and developers-toward project goals and user expectations, therefore reducing the gap between technical implementation and user satisfaction. Equally, teamwork embeds a kind of collaboration between different departments that leads to innovative and efficient project execution.Empathy is basically the cornerstone of user-centered design and provides insight into the needs and pain points that users are experiencing. With empathy for the end-user, UI/UX professionals will be able to design an effective solution that resonates with the target audience by solving real-world problems. Problem-solving skills enable the designer to navigate through technical constraints and contradictory feedback toward balanced effective solutions.As a matter of fact, these soft skills not only enhance the quality of the final product but also develop professional growth and enhance market competitiveness of IT specialists. Only then will professionals be wholly rounded in the present digital environment. Educational programs for such courses prepare their students to be satisfied with IT job markets today by equipping them with hard and soft skills alike.
