Did He or Didn’t He? Mixed Evidence for Continued Influence of Retracted Misinformation on Later Person Judgements
Authors: Mickelberg Amy , Fay Nicolas , Ecker Ullrich K. H. , Perfors Andrew , Howe Piers , Walker Bradley
Published: July 2024

Retracted misinformation often continues to influence event-related reasoning, but there is mixed evidence that it influences person impressions. A recent study found no evidence for the continued influence of retracted misinformation on person impressions across four experiments. However, the study used a dynamic impression-rating measure that may have obscured any continued influence effects. Here we report three experiments that tested for the continued influence of retracted misinformation on person impressions using a non-dynamic rating measure comparable to that used in event-related misinformation research. Participants formed an impression of a fictitious person based on a series of behaviour statements. A negative behaviour statement (e.g., “John kicked his pet dog hard in the head when it didn’t come when called”) was subsequently retracted or not retracted. Evidence for the continued influence of the retracted behaviour statement was found in one experiment; in the other two experiments the retracted information was fully discounted. Our findings indicate that, unlike retracted event-related misinformation, retracted person-related misinformation does not consistently show a continued influence effect.
A theoretical confirmation of the gravitation new origin having a dipolar electrical nature with Coulomb law corrected
Authors: Has Ioan , Miclaus Simona , Has Aurelian
Published: July 2024

The paper starts by analyzing the actual justification of the separation existing between electrical and gravitational forces, considering that for neutral bodies the electrical interaction force at long distances r, totally cancels as equal and opposed +/- forces FC, given by Coulomb law. Initially it was demonstrated that the type of the force FD, attraction or repulsion, between two electrical dipoles, having the same orientation, is given by the variation mode of the electrical forces FC with the r distance. In this paper one demonstrates that this electrical dipole force FD may exist at any distance r, by reciprocal orientation of any two dipoles. But such dipole force FD depends on a term in 1/r4 or greater power, being negligible compared to the gravitational force FN, which in Newton’s law depends on 1/r2. In order to obtain the principal term in 1/r2, for dipole interaction FD, it was necessary and sufficiently to admit a hypothesis which considers a new Coulomb law force FCC, as a series of terms of powers of r, including a new term of the form –ln r. With this corrected Coulomb law force FCC, for dipole interaction new force FDC, an expression having the principal term in 1/r2 results, as in Newton’s law. In order to verify the above hypothesis, numerical checking for the new dipole force FDC with first 4 terms of series was performed, utilizing actual electric permeability, the constant ε0 corrected, in all the terms. These calculations made for an astronomical distance (109m), showed a good agreement (relative ratio R=FN/FDC ≈ 0.626) between the force FN given by Newton’s law and the dipole force FDC obtained with the corrected Coulomb law. On the basis of this gravity theory, some important consequences result, such as the inexistence of the gravitational waves, of the black holes, of the space gravitational curvature, and of the big-bang.This gravity theory with more than 4 terms of series yield all of the four known forces in nature, so unifying them.The new dipolar gravity theory is physically possible only in quantum manifestation of the charges, and admitting the presence of a continuum media (a modern ether) as physical support of electromagnetic interactions.
Relating Multi-Scale Plume Detection to Area Emission Estimates in Dense Point Source Emission Fields of Methane

Published: July 2024

Methodologies for inferring surface emissions of atmospheric trace gases can be categorized into plume detection and area-scale estimation. Plume detections are observations of emissions from either individual or clustered point sources. Area estimates are derived from top-down atmospheric flux inversion models or bottom-up inventories, which infer mean emissions typically over spatial scales greater than 10 km and temporal scales greater than a week. Integrating information from these distinct methodologies can enhance our understanding of emission sources and improve the accuracy of emission estimates. However, such integration is challenging because plume-detecting instruments exhibit irregular and infrequent sampling, as well as varying detection sensitivities and spatial footprint sizes. In this study, we present a theoretical framework to relate plume and area estimates of dense point source methane emission fields. We show that the spatial footprint size of plume-detecting instruments impacts the emission rate distribution of plumes. In empirical tests, we find a robust linear relationship between the sums of gridded plume emission rates and area estimates for the Permian Basin’s oil and gas emissions. After accounting for the plume detectors' sampling of the Permian emission field, the weekly plume sums demonstrate a strong correlation with TROPOMI top-down area estimates (R2 > 0.94, P < 0.005). We assess the feasibility of using plume data to inform area estimates within a Bayesian assimilation framework. We perform two plume inversions using prior area estimates from (1) constant EDF bottom-up inventory and (2) weekly-updated TROPOMI inversion estimates. We find that the posterior estimate of the EDF plume inversion improves, bringing it in good agreement with independent TROPOMI estimates. In the TROPOMI plume inversion, the fine spatial resolution features of area estimates improve. Our analysis underscores that plume datasets obtained from aircraft, satellites, and in situ instruments can evaluate and improve area estimates of dense point source emission fields.

E-waste Management Practices: A Case of Itahari Sub-Metropolitan City, Nepal
Authors: Rauniyar Bishnu Shau
Published: July 2024

The fast deterioration of electronic gadgets is being caused by the highly competitive electronic market and the rising purchasing patterns of consumers. It can be difficult to handle electronics when their useful lives are ending and when they are replaced or thrown away for various reasons over time. This research aims to comprehend the viewpoint of electronics consumers regarding managing their electronic waste, with a particular focus on Itahari Sub-Metropolitan City's ward no. 05. The factors found in the literature were used to create questionnaires. The questions were created using various sources, including socioeconomic and demographic data, information on E-waste generation and disposal practices, consumer intentions toward E-waste management, and awareness levels. The study's findings demonstrated that while consumers were aware of the issues surrounding E-waste, they lacked a significant amount of knowledge regarding formal recycling centers and other strategies for managing waste. Additionally, it was seen that most respondents were either willing to sell their televisions and desktop computers to scrap traders or wanted to repair them. For instance, the majority of participants reported never receiving any E-waste management training, but many also claimed they would be prepared to pay the E-waste handling organization to participate in E-waste management programs and hence, Itahari Sub-Metropolitan is advised to undertake community-based initiatives to improve E-waste management programs.

Published: July 2024

In the oil and gas industry, there are often various problems that can interfere with the production process. One of the problems that often occurs is sand problems. The impact of sand problems is to cause damage to downhole and surface equipment. To solve the problem of sand in boreholes, gravel fill can be used. This study was conducted Kalrez Petroleum (Seram) Ltd Field Well X. The purpose of this study was to determine the size of gravel Bagging overcomes sandy issues and determines front and rear production performance Installing a gravel pack and determining the cost comparison of the gravel pack method and sand screening method in terms of cost benefit analysis. Based on the smallest average size of sand grains is 0.024 inch, this size is in accordance with the size of gravel pack in general, namely 16/30 M. Calculation of PI after the use of gravel pack has increased production from 4.4 bbl/psi to 7.8 bbl/psi. Based on the IPR curve before the use of gravel pack, the maximum flow rate (Q max) was 527.4372 bpd, experiencing an increase in the maximum flow rate (Q max) of 907.108 bpd. Based on calculations using cost benefit analysis (Coast Benefit Analysis) between the gravel pack and screen liner methods. The screen liner method can be an alternative to overcome the sand problems, this is because it is seen from the value of the B/C ratio> 1 or 2,3. This means that for every one dollar invested in the method, a savings ratio of 2.3 will be obtained. So the screen liner method is more useful and also efficient. Keywords: Sand problem, downhole and surface equipment, gravel pack, sieve analysis, cost benefit analysis

Published: July 2024

The sand problem is a common challenge in the oil and gas industry. PT Pertamina EP Asset 4 Cepu Field in the Kawengan Field has rock which is a ngrayoung formation and the type of sandstone can cause sand to enter into the well bour when oil is produced for a long time. Therefore, we need the right tool to be able to overcome the problem of sandiness. In this case PT Pertamina EP Asset 4 Cepu Field in the Kawengan Field uses a sand control pump in an effort to overcome the sand problem. Thus, this research was conducted by analyzing the appropriate pump size from the sand rate calculation, fluid flow rate before and after using the sand control pump, as well as economic analysis. The results of the pump size analysis show that the right pump size to use is 2 joint mud anchors. The results of the subsequent analysis show an increase in the rate of fluid production after using a sand control pump. The results of the economic analysis show that the use of a sand control pump on a sucker rod pump (SRP) in the SP well is feasible because it has economic value with an oil price of 45 US$ / bbl, an NPV of 221,709 USD is obtained, and project success (IRR) reaches 106 %, as well as the value of pay out time for 1.83 years. Keywords: Economy, Flow Rate, Sand Problem, Sand Control Pump, Sand Rate.
Developing the Next Generation of Models for Predicting Soil Formation in Mangrove (NUMAN 2.0) and Marsh (NUMAR 2.0) Wetlands
Authors:   , Biswas Pradipta
Published: July 2024

"Our comprehension of coastal ecosystems’ interactions with changes in the environment has significantly improved with the introduction of NUMAN 2.0 and NUMAR 2.0. The first chapter of NUMAN 2.0 provides in-depth information about incorporation of belowground components like coarse roots and cellulose. This integration is achieved through a robust mass balance approach, which enhances the model's accuracy in predicting soil properties, including accretion rates. Moreover, the model can predict root necromass, while it addresses discrepancies in traditional field sampling process. NUMAN 2.0 has been tested in Shark River, Rookery Bay, and Taylor Slough mangrove sites in Southwest Florida. Model outputs are consistent with field measurements for soil accretion, bulk density, organic matter percentage, organic matter density, organic carbon density, and carbon sequestration. Based on these improvements, NUMAR 2.0, a marsh adaptation of NUMAN 2.0 has been introduced. NUMAR 2.0 estimates self-packing densities of organic and inorganic matter, root biomass at the surface, root attenuation rate using field observations, and root turnover rates based on organic matter percentages up to specific depths. Additional input parameters based on Feldspar data, such as deposition rates and ash content in surface deposits, etc. were used to simulate. Model outputs align with field-based measurements across three salinity zones in both active and inactive basins. An uncertainty analysis using Monte-Carlo method enhanced model generality and reflected site's natural variability. It didn’t only increase the models' precision but also expand their applicability across different wetland types, providing a reliable and robust tool for our research and conservation efforts. It also facilitates robust input parameter estimation. This greatly enhances our ability to predict and manage changes in these ecosystems, making it an indispensable tool for ecological study and conservation. The real-world application of these models underscores their importance and potential impact. This research expands our investigative scope and has practical implications, enabling us to conduct in-depth analyses of variations in mangrove and marsh ecosystems based on salinity zones and soil types."

Published: July 2024

Health-related information plays a crucial role in public health management, empowering individuals to make informeddecisions and adopt behaviours that mitigate the effects of potential risks. The internet and the emergence of newtechnologies, such as conversational models equipped with Artificial Intelligence, present opportunities, and challengesin this field. This research focuses specifically on the risk of radon, a natural radioactive gas recognised worldwide asone of the leading causes of lung cancer and a persistent threat over time. The aim of this study is to analyse theinformation provided for this specific risk by two key information access tools: web search engines and AI-basedconversational agents (ChatGPT). To carry out this interdisciplinary research (journalism-communication-computerscience) we employ a mixed methodological design (quantitative and qualitative) and apply methods from the areas ofInformation Retrieval (IR), Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The results of this study show that information onthe internet about the risk of radon often lacks relevance and does not meet the information needs of users. We alsofound that some websites provide a significant amount of good quality information but there are often some misleadingcontents. ChatGPT proves to be more accurate in providing relevant and good quality information but contains a higherproportion of misinformation. Consequently, this raises concerns about the integrity of the information provided andemphasises the need to monitor and improve the accuracy of these computational tools.

Published: July 2024

La transferencia de conocimiento, como “tercera misión” y actividad conectada a la investigación, resulta esencial para cumplir con la función social de la Universidad. En este trabajo se analizan las acciones de transferencia desarrolladas por proyectos de investigación españoles e internacionales con sede institucional en la península ibérica focalizados en la desinformación. Se identificaron 46 proyectos con estos requisitos, y tras contactar con todo el universo se logra la respuesta de 25 responsables, mediante un cuestionario online que recoge características, temporalización, tipología, agentes implicados y destinatarios de las actividades realizadas, en curso o programadas (46 en total), así como la percepción de losinvestigadores sobre la transferencia. Los resultados muestran que la gran mayoría de proyectos sobre desinformación (84%) realiza actividades de transferencia, aunque limitada a una o dos, no siempre formalizadas vía OTRI o similar. En tres de cada cuatro casos los propios proyectos actúan como responsables o impulsores, si bien es común contar con al menos un socio (58,6%). Su tipología y destinatarios varían según objetivos y área de los proyectos. Destaca la capacitación a diversos colectivos, junto a recursos de formación, apoyo y guía a menudo multimedia y online. En menor medida se localizan actividades de desarrollo tecnológico, materializadas en aplicaciones y herramientas digitales en abierto. Del cruce de estas dos variables (tipología y destinatarios), se obtiene que la transferencia social es el grupo mayoritario (43,48%), seguida de la profesional (23,91%), tecnológica (17,39%) y académica (15,22%). Pese a tratarse de prácticas aisladas e incipientes, existe coincidencia entre los investigadores al percibirlas como parte esencial de su misión. Su visión en muchos casos se aproxima al modelo de “cuádruple hélice”, orientado a la innovación social y a dar respuesta a demandas ciudadanas vinculadas a desinformación mediante enfoques colaborativos entre universidad, gobierno, empresas y sociedad

Published: July 2024

This study aims to examine and demonstrate six factors influencing the decision to grant credit loans to MSMEs on the conventional Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms Investree and Koinworks. These six factors are loan amount, loan term, credit rating, loan purpose, business duration, and financial statement information. A quantitative approach and secondary data from the publications of the Investree and Koinworks applications or websites were utilized in this research. A sample of 225 MSMEs was selected from a population of 267 using purposive sampling. Logistic regression analysis revealed that loan amount, credit rating, and loan purpose affect MSMEs on the Investree and Koinworks P2P lending platforms, while loan term, business duration, and financial statement information do not. These findings suggest that both P2P lending platforms consider various factors when evaluating MSME borrowers. The differences between Investree and Koinworks indicate distinct characteristics and appeals to MSMEs on each platform, which are also discussed in this study. The results of this research can assist MSMEs in preparing loan proposals to enhance credibility with lenders, provide better insights to lenders in decision-making, and serve as a reference for other P2P lending platforms in evaluating factors necessary for credit loan decision-making processes.

Published: July 2024

Penelitian ini menganalisis secara komprehensif kinerja saham PT Kalbe Farma Tbk (KLBF) di Bursa Efek Indonesia selama periode 18 Oktober 2022-17 Oktober 2023 dengan penekanan pada identifikasi dan prediksi risiko terkait. Metode Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) dimanfaatkan untuk menghitung tingkat pengembalian yang diharapkan (expected return) dan tingkat efisiensi saham KLBF. Simulasi Monte Carlo dengan 1000, 5000, dan 10.000 iterasi kemudian diterapkan untuk memprediksi risiko terjadinya expected return negatif yang tidak menguntungkan bagi investor serta risiko kinerja saham yang tidak efisien dengan actual return lebih rendah dari expected return. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja saham KLBF selama setahun terakhir terbukti tidak efisien dengan actual return yang lebih kecil dibandingkan expected return. Simulasi Monte Carlo mengungkapkan risiko sebesar 0,33 untuk terjadinya expected return negatif, 0,65 untuk expected return di bawah tingkat bebas risiko, dan 0,52 untuk kinerja saham yang tidak efisien. Semakin banyak iterasi yang dilakukan, semakin akurat prediksi risiko yang dihasilkan. Penurunan kinerja saham KLBF disebabkan oleh volatilitas pasar yang meningkat akibat sentimen negatif global. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa investor sebaiknya menghindari investasi pada saham KLBF mengingat risiko kerugian dan pengembalian rendah yang cukup signifikan.

The growing demand for efficient and reliable transportation solutions in industrial and commercial settings is driving the development of innovative technologies, such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs). AGVs are unmanned vehicles that can navigate autonomously along predefined paths, offering a number of advantages over traditional transportation methods, including increased efficiency, reduced labor costs, and improved safety. However, conventional AGVs are typically designed to transport specific types of materials, limiting their versatility in industries such as food and beverage, where both solid and liquid materials need to be transported. To address this challenge, we propose an AGV design capable of transporting both solid and liquid materials. It utilizes a line-following navigation system with a load type identification system and a speed controlling system, to ensure safe and efficient transportation of both solid and liquid materials. In this paper, we present a detailed overview of our AGV system design and implementation, highlighting its key features.

Soft-growing robots represent an emerging field characterized by their ability to extend at the tip while the base remains stationary. These robots offer a unique advantage in navigating through confined spaces inaccessible to humans. Specifically, in underwater exploration tasks, their flexible bodies render them particularly efficient. Moreover, these robots exhibit the capability to steer even while growing. There exist several steering methods including sHAMs (soft Hydraulic Artificial Muscles), sPAMs (soft Pneumatic Artificial Muscles), tendon-driven techniques, and predefined bending mechanisms, applicable both in air and underwater [1],[2]. This paper specifically delves into the study of sHAMs (soft Hydraulic Artificial Muscles) and their inherent characteristics. Various critical factors influence the bending behavior of sHAMs, including pressure, the diameter ratio between the robot body and the sHAM, the length of the robot body, and the number of sHAMs employed. In this study, we concentrate on varying the diameter ratio between the body and sHAM, while keeping other parameters constant. To achieve this, we fabricated robot bodies with varying diameters while maintaining a constant diameter for the sHAM. By systematically analyzing the results obtained from this experimental setup, we aim to provide insights into how the bending angle varies in relation to the diameter ratio.

Published: July 2024

The content of sediment forming minerals in two cores from the eastern (ANS45-37) and western (ANS45-48) parts of the Vema transform fault valley is studied using the semi-quantitative XRD analysis of bulk powder sediment samples. The mineral composition of deep-sea sediments from the Amazone cone is also analyzed for comparison. It appeared that the average composition of the terrigenous component of both cores (according to prevailing quartz, secondary mica, plagioclase and potassium feldspar, as well as smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, illite) is quite similar and approximately corresponds to the composition of sediments from the Amazon cone. The ratio of four clay minerals suggests the supply of terrigenous material to the Amazon and Orinoco due to the erosion of the Andes and humid tropical weathering in the lower course of the rivers with further transportation of the suspended load to the ocean. This material was transported to the Vema transform valley due to the interplay between the gravity flows from the South American continental slope and the current of the Antarctic Bottom Water. Data on biogenic calcite (planktic foraminiferal tests, nannofossils) and opal A (radiolarians, sponge spicules) are obtained in addition. In the study area, several authigenic (diagenetic) minerals are identified. In particular, siderite and greigite are first found in the sediments from the Vema valley and Amazon cone, respectively.
