Interacciones entre la ubicación de la palanca, el requisito de fuerza y la demora de reforzamiento sobre la ejecución de operante en ratas
Authors: Ortiz Rueda Gerardo ,   Universidad de Guadalajara
Published: August 2024

En dos experimentos se evaluó la posible interacción de variables relacionadas con la ubicación de la palanca, el requisito de respuesta y la demora de reforzamiento en una situación de operante libre. Para tales fines, empleando diferentes grupos de ratas, se manipuló el espacio entre la palanca en donde se emitió la respuesta y el lugar en donde se obtuvo el reforzador (Experimento 1) y el requisito mínimo de fuerza requerido para accionar la palanca operativa (Experimento 2) bajo condiciones de reforzamiento inmediato y demorado. Los resultados mostraron una débil o poca interacción entre las variables en estudio, aunque se observó un mayor efecto cuando las condiciones experimentales "empeoraban" durante la demora en comparación con la condición de línea base. Se discuten estos resultados en relación con los procedimientos de demora así como la posibilidad de encontrar interacciones más fuertes bajo valores más extremos de los parámetros utilizados en los presentes estudios.
Linguagem e Instituições Sociais em Skinner e Austin
Authors: Endemann Meter ,   Universidade Federal do Pará, Zagury Tourinho Emmanuel ,   Universidade Federal do Pará
Published: August 2024

O presente trabalho discute o problema da linguagem a partir de uma oposição entre os que a concebem como um sistema de representação da realidade e os que a interpretam como um modo de ação do homem no mundo. O trabalho foi orientado por dois conjuntos de referências conceituais: a) a filosofia, especificamente a filosofia analítica, a partir de Wittgenstein e da análise da linguagem ordinária encontrada na teoria dos atos de fala de J. L. Austin; e b) a psicologia, em particular o behaviorisMo radical de B. F. Skinner. O trabalho tem por objetivo examinar como são elaborados a relação entre linguagem e realidade e o caráter social das práticas lingüfsticas em algumas obras de Skinner e Austin para, a partir disso, discutir possíveis aproximações com respeito às questões referidas. Um primeiro ponto de convergência identificado diz respeito à aproximação de Skinner e Austin a uma tradição antirepresentacionista. Em ambos, encontra-se a funcionalidade como critério de verdade. Um outro ponto foi o papel das convenções na definição das práticas de uma comunidade Iingüistica (ou verbal). Este ponto foi elaborado a partir da noção de regras e critérios, em Wittgenstein, passando pelo condicionamento operante em uma comunidade verbal, em Skinner, e pelos procedimentos e pela doutrina das infelicidades, em Austin. A partir dessas questões, fez-se ainda um levantamento de informações acerca da noção de significado em Skinner e da noção de força ilocucionária em Austin, cuja convergência encontra-se justamente no caráter social das práticas lingüisticas. Um último ponto discutido faz referência à compreensão ou apreensão do significado ou força ilocucionária como critério para a eficácia de uma dada ação realizada.

RESOURCES SUPPORTING INCORPOREAL ASSETS IN CONTINUOUSLY TRADED PHILIPPINE UNIVERSAL BANKS
Authors: Tan Jackson Juatco , Arceo Virginia Ramirez
Published: August 2024

The Strengthening Program for Rural Banks (SPRB) in the Philippines has allowed universal banks to purchase rural banks, and this policy highlights the possible advantages of expanding business combinations for intangible assets. Considering the SPRB, this paper examines the intangible motivation behind banks' actions to purchase capital-deficient financial institutions. This study aims to address sources of intangible assets for Philippine banks as Tobin's q measures. Using Tobin's q as a measure of intangible value allows for identifying contributing factors that determine it based on financial data. The study subjects are actively traded Philippine Universal Banks between 2009 and 2018. The influence of variables in the study on intangible asset value, as Tobin’s q measures, was determined using an Ordinary Least Squares model. Operational factors significantly influencing intangible value are investments in subsidiaries and associates, the return on assets, and bank deposits. Activities intended to reach target customers, such as those captured by marketing and advertising expenditures, positively influence intangible value. These findings imply that merely purchasing more assets does not improve the value of intangible resources. Instead, asset productivity, funds to make more loans, and informing the public of bank activities benefit intangible asset values. The implications of these findings offer insight into the sources of intangible assets that investors value.

Onomastics of Age-Grade Names in the Igbo Community
Authors: Obiorah Kenneth Ekezie
Published: August 2024

Onomastics of Igbo age-grade names: a fundamental sub-category of African names is the act of naming a group of people that are born in a particular period of time. It is a cultural practice that has survived civilisation and urbanisation, as the Igbo worldwide now join age-grade activities of their hometown via various social media platforms. No previous study has investigated how age-grade names are acquired and classified. Therefore, this study aims to provide a better understanding of how names given to age grades in Igbo communities are created and classified. Qualitative data elicited through one-on-one interviews with 18 members of different age groups in Anam, an Igbo community, were subjected to descriptive and thematic analysis. Findings reveal that age-grade names are acquired during the teenage period mainly by boys (for both males and females) and maintained till death. The different categories of names acquired by members of age grades include testimonial, ideational, monumental, war historical, descendant, praise, and lexical matching names. The age-grade names, like Igbo personal names, reflect the distinctive experience of the bearers. They also serve as a collective identity for all members during social interactions and community engagements.
Factors Influencing Users’ Interest in Using Online Dating Apps with Age as the Moderator
Authors: Law Kyra Ley Sy , Sulistyo Ponco Budi , Koomson Elizabeth Serwaa Boateng , Yezer Karma
Published: August 2024

A mobile dating software app advertises itself as a social discovery tool and helps users start new, possibly romantic interactions. Online dating apps’ entry into personal life is promoted as a well-liked and distinctive method of establishing relationships. It is a sign of rising information and communication technology (ICT) use in this area. Previous studies have also shown that age may be a significant factor that influences individuals in using dating apps, especially among the younger generations. Various studies have been conducted in different countries but there is a lack of evidence that focuses on Malaysians and age. Thus, this research was conducted with 103 respondents through convenience sampling, in which participants completed an online survey. Using the SmartPLS, the analysis for the direct relationships and moderating relationships was conducted. The results showed that attraction, mood and selective swipers trigger users' interest in using dating apps although age did not interfere with the relationships. Age may not seem to be a vital factor in using dating apps. This study recognised the evolution of dating apps for mobile devices, the need for more data on how dating apps facilitated user relationship initiation and any possible implications for relationship developmental stages.
Improving follow-up care for people after minor stroke using early personalised care: A protocol for a randomised, mixed-methods, feasibility study.
Authors: Crow Jennifer , Watt Hilary , Wells Mary , Malhotra Paresh
Published: August 2024

Background Of the 150 000 people per year in the UK who have strokes, a third to a quarter will experience a so-called ‘minor stroke’. Although appearing benign these strokes put a person at increased risk of further strokes and survivors are usually considered ‘too good’ for referral onto community stroke services. When back at home the hidden effects of stroke like fatigue and changes in mood and cognition become apparent and impact return to work, relationships and everyday activities. Alongside this, managing the risk of recurrence, highest early after an initial stroke, is a priority. People with stroke report feeling abandoned after discharge with unmet information and support needs. Methods To address this issue, we reviewed the literature, met with people with stroke and other stakeholders to develop an early, personalised follow-up programme of care for those who currently only receive routine medical follow-up appointments. This complex intervention is underpinned by self-determination theory, which forms a framework for delivery of the intervention. We will be conducting a randomised, mixed methods, single-centre feasibility study to explore the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention. Sixty participants will be recruited from a Hyperacute Stroke Unit and Rapid Assessment Clinic and randomised to the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive personalised follow-up appointments at two- and six-weeks post-discharge. All participants will have outcome measures taken at baseline and twelve-weeks post-stroke. Patient reported outcomes will be reviewed to assess their suitability for a later definitive trial. Qualitative interviews will be conducted to gain a deeper understanding of life after stroke from those who did and did not receive the intervention. Conclusions Study findings will be used to further refine the intervention, methods and outcome measurements used. These refinements will inform a future multicentre randomised controlled trial.
A Review of Factors Influencing Conversion to Islam Among Orang Asli in Malaysia
Authors: Kamaruddin Ainuddin , Mokhtar Ahmad Effat
Published: August 2024

The indigenous population residing across Peninsular Malaysia traditionally adhered to animistic beliefs, and a portion remained non-religious. With the establishment of various Islamic propagation bodies, both governmental and non-governmental, efforts toward Islamization among the indigenous population commenced. While the rate of indigenous people embracing Islam remains relatively low, the numbers have steadily increased over the years. This study aims to explore the factors driving the adoption of Islam within the indigenous community by employing a literature review methodology. Previous studies have revealed a dynamic array of factors influencing the adoption of Islam among indigenous communities, including marriage, continuous efforts by preachers, personal interest, dream inspirations, peer influence from family members, neighbors, village heads (Tok Batin), personal interests, and more. Future studies are encouraged to delve specifically into factors influencing the adoption of Islam and factors resisting Islamic propagation within indigenous communities based on village, state, or ethnic group differentiations.
Application of Modern Collective Ijtihād Approach in Islamic Banking: Analysis of AAOIFI's Juristic Methodology
Authors: Abdullah Azeem , Che Yaacob Ahmad , Salamon Hussin
Published: August 2024

The Islamic Banking industry has observed many disputes regarding the legality of the sharī῾ah status of different products due to the contradictions in different schools of thought. That created the need to standardize and harmonize the industry's sharī῾ah practices. The Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) has done tremendous work in standardizing and harmonizing different opinions of different schools. It designs products according to the needs and practices of the industry in a sharī῾ah-compliant way. Its sharī῾ah standards are developed through a rigorous and professional process. They are widely accepted globally in the Islamic banking industry. The development of the sharī῾ah standards is based on the application of the collective ijtihād approach. This collective ijtihād approach is not limited to a specific school of thought. Instead, it has benefited from all the schools and harmonized them, making it a unique collective ijtihād approach. Hence, to find AAOIFI’s collective ijtihād approach, the study objective is to extract the juristic methodology of AAOIFI sharī῾ah standards. The method used for the analysis is qualitative content analysis. A sample of six standards from the 57 standards is selected based on purposive sampling. The coding is done on these six sample standards to deduce the embedded themes and categories related to the juristic methodology applied by AAOIFI. The findings were further verified by interviewing five experts. Therefore, the data analysis through coding and validation through experts’ opinions, the study found that AAOIFI’s juristic methodology is lenient, flexible, maintains equilibrium, avoids injustice and is not confined to a specific school of thought. Further study is recommended to analyse the criteria on which AAOIFI prefers one opinion over others among the schools. The study's results are expected to enhance the adoption of the AAOIFI’s collective ijtihād approach, globally, which will improve the standardization of the fatwa’ practices in the Islamic banking industry.

Authors: Lupenko Yu. , Kopytets N. , Voloshyn V.
Published: August 2024

The article examines the organizational and economic conditions under which the production activity of agricultural enterprises in the field of pig breeding in Ukraine is formed. The pig industry and the pig meat market are traditional and play an important role in providing the population with meat and meat products. The demand for pig meat in the world is growing, which is due to both the growth of the world population and the economic development of individual countries of the world. Ukraine can become an important participant in the pig meat market in the world under the condition of increasing the production of competitive products of the pig industry. It was established that the state of the industry does not ensure sustainable and efficient production of pork in Ukraine and needs significant improvement.
The volume of pork production primarily depends on the number of pigs and their productivity it was determined. It has been proven that the number of pig farms in the pig meat market has significantly decreased.
It is substantiated that the war in Ukraine has a negative impact on both organizational and economic aspects of the functioning of enterprises in the pig breeding industry. It causes terrible, in most cases, irreversible consequences for manufacturers.
The although Ukraine has a large number of small farms that keep pigs, the main producers of pig meat are large pig farms it has been proven.
It was determined that the increase in prices for the main types of pork is due to a reduction in the number of pigs due to hostilities and due to the occupation of large territories, an increase in the cost of logistics and fuel for transportation, an increase in production costs (increase in the cost of feed, electricity, etc.).
It is substantiated that the key condition for the formation of effective production activity is the implementation of innovative technological solutions by agricultural enterprises in the pig breeding industry.
Key words: the field of pig breeding, agricultural enterprises, pork production, sales price, consumer price, innovative technological solutions.

Published: August 2024

Coffee, as the second most traded commodity after petroleum, faces production challenges, especially due to pest or disease attacks on coffee leaves. Therefore, it is important to carry out early detection of the disease in order to minimize the risk and apply special treatment. Automatic detection of disease can be done through the application of Computer Vision technology. However, one of the main challenges faced is the limited training dataset. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is a Deep Learning method that is capable of modifying images with high quality. This research aims to synthesize coffee leaf images based on the public Coffee Leaf Disease dataset using the GANs method. Testing was carried out using the RMSProp optimizer, the learning rate was 0.0001 and was carried out for 300 epochs. The architecture built uses 26 layers in the generator model and 15 layers in the discriminator model. The results of the test show that the drilled network obtained an MMSE value of 0.1658, which is not too high because the resulting synthesized image is not very good.

Published: August 2024

In late 2020, Xiao-Wei Wang’s Blockchain Chicken Farm and Rem Koolhaas’s Guggenheim show emphasized that the countryside is where radical changes occur. At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), biodesign is being integrated into an emerging media arts program to bridge art and science. This initiative counters the current discourse that sidelines imaginative design, through speculative design workshops with Nebraska communities. Biodesign, practiced collaboratively, fosters an innovation ecosystem encompassing scientists, artists, designers, entrepreneurs, and industry. This approach aims to maximize benefits and minimize risks, aligning with Freeman Dyson’s vision of domesticated biotechnology driving new possibilities and alleviating rural poverty. The program links digital and physical realms, addressing ecological impacts of agriculture and the integration of renewable energy landscapes. Concepts like digital twins and the internet of animals blur the boundaries between technology and nature, making traditional items as significant as digital devices. The curriculum encourages students to oscillate between analog and digital learning modalities, using methods like Live Action Role Play (LARP) and immersive VR design. This pedagogy instills a mindset that comprehends the interconnectedness of the physical and virtual, the biological and digital, redefining technology beyond screens and code. By exploring the physical internet and carbon footprint, the program redefines the boundaries of art and innovation, promoting transformative narratives and new modes of expression. Through these efforts, biodesign helps shape students' world-building and storytelling, ultimately guiding responsible biotech use to address pressing global issues.
From lithological descriptions to geological models: an example from the Upper Aare Valley
Authors: Schorpp Ludovic , Straubhaar Julien , Renard Philippe
Published: August 2024

Introduction

Geological models provide a critical foundation for hydrogeological models and significantly influence the spatial distribution of key hydraulic parameters such as hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, or porosity. The conventional modeling workflow involves a hierarchical approach that simulates three levels: stratigraphical units, lithologies, and finally properties. Although lithological descriptions are often available in the data (boreholes), the same is not true for unit descriptions, leading to potential inconsistencies in the modeling process.

Methodology

To address this challenge, a geostatistical learning approach is presented, which aims to predict stratigraphical units at boreholes where this information is lacking, primarily using lithological logs as input. Various standard machine learning algorithms have been compared and evaluated to identify the most effective ones. The outputs of these algorithms are then processed and utilized to simulate the stratigraphy in boreholes using a sequential approach. Subsequently, these boreholes contribute to the construction of stochastic geological models, which are then compared with models generated without the inclusion of these supplementary boreholes.

Results

This method is useful for reducing uncertainty at certain locations and for mitigating inconsistencies between units and lithologies.

Conclusion

This approach maximizes the use of available data and contributes to more robust hydrogeological models.

The change in composition and pressure, both of which lead to new desired properties by altering the structure, is particularly important for improving device performance. Given this, we focused here on the mechanical, elastic, and optoelectronic characteristics of the Cd0.75Zn0.25Se alloy using density functional theory at various pressures from 0 GPa to 20 GPa. It is found that the bulk modulus of the material rises with increasing pressure and exhibits mechanical stability as well as cubic symmetry. In addition, the increased pressure leads to a rise in the direct bandgap energy of the material from 2.03 eV to 2.48 eV. The absorption coefficient of the alloy also increases as the pressure increases, where the effective range of absorption covers the broad spectrum of light in the visible range from orange to cyan. This is due to the electronic transitions caused by the altered pressure. The optical parameters, including optical conductivity, extinction coefficient, reflection, and refractive index, are also analyzed under the influence of pressure. Based on this research, effective applications of the Cd substituted Zn-chalcogenides (CdZnSe) alloys in the fields of optoelectronics and photovoltaics are outlined, especially concerning fabricating solar cells, photonic devices, and pressure sensors for space technology.
Biofilm-dispersed pneumococci induce elevated leukocyte and platelet activation

Introduction

Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) effectively colonizes the human nasopharynx, but can migrate to other host sites, causing infections such as pneumonia and sepsis. Previous studies indicate that pneumococci grown as biofilms have phenotypes of bacteria associated with colonization whereas bacteria released from biofilms in response to changes in the local environment (i.e., dispersed bacteria) represent populations with phenotypes associated with disease. How these niche-adapted populations interact with immune cells upon reaching the vascular compartment has not previously been studied. Here, we investigated neutrophil, monocyte, and platelet activation using ex vivo stimulation of whole blood and platelet-rich plasma with pneumococcal populations representing distinct stages of the infectious process (biofilm bacteria and dispersed bacteria) as well as conventional broth-grown culture (planktonic bacteria).

Methods

Flow cytometry and ELISA were used to assess surface and soluble activation markers for neutrophil and monocyte activation, platelet-neutrophil complex and platelet-monocyte complex formation, and platelet activation and responsiveness.

Results

Overall, we found that biofilm-derived bacteria (biofilm bacteria and dispersed bacteria) induced significant activation of neutrophils, monocytes, and platelets. In contrast, little to no activation was induced by planktonic bacteria. Platelets remained functional after stimulation with bacterial populations and the degree of responsiveness was inversely related to initial activation. Bacterial association with immune cells followed a similar pattern as activation.

Discussion

Differences in activation of and association with immune cells by biofilm-derived populations could be an important consideration for other pathogens that have a biofilm state. Gaining insight into how these bacterial populations interact with the host immune response may reveal immunomodulatory targets to interfere with disease development.
The child’s “or” construction: it’s all about choice
Authors: Ariel Mira , Arnon Inbal , Katzir Nicole , Tal Shira

“Or” is associated, in Gricean approaches, with the readings Inclusive (“at least one, and possibly both, options are true”) and Exclusive (“exactly one option is true”). Empirical findings show adults favoring Exclusive readings; but for children, the literature yields puzzling results. Laboratory comprehension tasks suggest children favor Inclusive, but naturalistic evidence suggests children’s “or” productions are overwhelmingly Exclusive. We first identify problems with previous research. Methodologically, asking children to provide truth judgements (the dominant experimental task) is not a child-friendly task. And theoretically, Inclusive and Exclusive are not optimal categories for classifying “or” readings. To resolve the comprehension-production puzzle, we adopt Ariel and Mauri’s richer analytic classification of “or” constructions, where Inclusive and Exclusive as such are not speaker-intended readings, and there are several, rather than one, “single-option” (Exclusive) readings. We apply this framework in analyzing the Berman corpus of Hebrew child language; and in designing a new, more ecologically valid, experimental task. Study 1 shows that in child-directed-speech, one specific Exclusive “or” construction, Choice Immediate (e.g., ↗Chocolates? Or ↘jelly beans?), is (i) the single dominant “or” function addressed to children, (ii) the one “or” reading children consistently respond appropriately to, and (iii) virtually the only “or” construction children produce. In Study 2, we present young children with a task involving this familiar “or” construction. The children respond with adult-like mastery even in the absence of a supporting context. These empirical findings argue for a usage-based account of how children acquire “or”.
Human-carnivore conflict mitigation and lion population viability in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park
Authors: Schwartz Michael W.
Published: August 2024

The Uganda Carnivore Program (UCP), located in Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP), has—among other large carnivore research and conservation measures—engaged in human-carnivore conflict mitigation and prevention efforts since 2015. UCP’s experiential lion tourism program funds compensation to local communities for livestock losses to promote carnivore tolerance and conservation. But while UCP’s conflict mitigation and prevention trials—through direct payments in response to forensically determined cases of livestock depredation by lion (Panthera leo)—may be aiding in the goal of maintaining lion viability in QENP and the greater Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area (QECA), compensation does not preclude ongoing challenges. These include unsustainable resource uses from human population growth and illegal expansions, subsequent land use changes, illegal livestock grazing and related husbandry practices, and compensation financing shortages. Of note regarding compensation is assessing whether claims of livestock depredation are genuine or not. Nevertheless, disruption to UCP’s experiential lion tourism and compensation programs could result in increased retaliatory killings of lions, thus further reducing an already low lion population. As compensation includes the area’s large carnivore guild, disruption could also mean further reductions in leopard (Panthera pardus) and spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) populations from retaliatory killings. Based on a perspective of UCP’s compensation trials and related challenges, several recommendations, including the introduction of compensation percentage rates based on rewards-based frameworks, would strengthen human-carnivore conflict mitigation as part of lion and other large carnivore conservation. This would benefit QENP, greater QECA, and other protected areas where people, livestock, and large carnivores share space.

Published: August 2024

Background

Pulsed field ablation, as a non-thermal ablation modality, has received increasing attention. The aim of this study is to explore whether a reversible pulsed electric field (RPEF) can temporarily inhibit electrical conduction and provide a novel method for precise ablation of arrhythmia.

Methods

RPEF energy was delivered from an ablation catheter to the atrium of six dogs, followed by a series of electrogram and histology assessments.

Results

RPEF ablation of ordinary myocardium resulted in an average reduction of 68.3% (range, 53.7%–83.8%) in electrogram amplitude, while 5 min later, the amplitude in eight electrograms returned to 77.9% (range, 72.4%–87.3%) of baseline. Similarly, the amplitude of the sinoatrial node electrograms reduced by an average of 73.0% (range, 60.2%–84.4%) after RPEF ablation, but recovered to 84.9% (range, 80.3%–88.5%) of baseline by 5 min. No necrotic change was detected in histopathology. Transient third-degree atrioventricular block occurred following the ablation of the maximum His potential sites with RPEF, the duration of which was voltage dependent. The histopathological results showed necrosis of the myocardium at the ablation sites but no injury to His bundle cells.

Conclusions

RPEF can be applied to transiently block electrical conduction in myocardial tissues contributing to precise ablation.
