AN INVENTORY MODEL FOR DETERIORATING ITEMS IN FUZZY ENVIRONMENT FOR JOINT PRICING AND INVENTORY CONTROL WITH PARTIAL BACKLOGGING AND TIME AND PRICE DEPENDENT DEMAND
Authors: Yadav Akhilesh Kumar , Yadav Ravish Kumar , Sanju Kumar
Published: October 2024

This study proposes an advanced inventory model that addresses the challenges associated with deteriorating items in a fuzzy environment. The model integrates joint pricing and inventory control while considering partial backlogging and time- and price-dependent demand. The deteriorating items are characterized by their decreasing value over time, and the fuzzy environment accounts for the inherent uncertainty in the real business world. The model recognizes the interdependence of pricing and inventory decisions, acknowledging that pricing strategies can influence inventory levels and vice versa. The model incorporates a partial backlog to accommodate customers who are prepared to wait for out-of-stock items, thereby minimizing lost sales and enhancing customer satisfaction. The model's application has the potential to enhance operational efficiency, improve customer satisfaction, and maximize profitability for businesses operating in diverse industries. A trapezoidal fuzzy number is assigned to the cost parameter and defuzzyfy by applying the graded mean representation method. A numerical example has been considered to illustrate the model, and the significant features of the results are discussed. Finally, based on these examples, sensitivity analyses have been studied by taking one parameter at a time and keeping the other parameters the same.
A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF TALENT MANAGEMENT:” CO-CITATION AND CLUSTER PERSPECTIVES”
Authors: Bhadoriya Nishu , Dixit Abhilasha
Published: October 2024

The current study's goals are to compile the body of knowledge on talent management, trace its historical evolution, examine the intellectual and social structures that underpin it, and suggest cluster-based issues for further talent management research. Donthu et al. (2021) suggested a framework-based bibliometric review that used the Scopus database to retrieve literature. Researchers used the VOS Viewer tool to analyse and present data in both tabular and graphical formats for descriptive and network analysis. The conceptual structure of the bibliographic data in this research area was made clear via co-citation analysis. Four-word frequency clusters were found by this research. Furthermore, it was demonstrated by author cooperation network analysis that in order to understand talent management, researchers looked into a variety of subjects, such as cultural influences, gamifications, social endorsements, and sustainability practices in the various contexts. By using network analysis to produce cluster-based themes, the study introduces a fresh methodology and provides insightful advice for future talent management research projects. Using the Scopus database is another novel feature that shows a deliberate attempt to thoroughly synthesize the literature and include a range of viewpoints and conclusions in the study.

Authors: Alekhin I.I. , Perepletkin I.A. , Meshcheryakova A.S.
Published: October 2024

Background. During the probabilistic resource base estimation, the largest uncertainties are associated with the wide range of the gross rock volume. In the course of the formation area work, the resulting maps of gross thickness are constructed incorrectly. Objective. To take into account facies zoning when varying the structural framework if working with the Achimov strata of a multilayer field. Materials and methods. The applied approach implies accounting of the errors in structural constructions in proportion to the power depending on facies zones. The authors proposed an additional stage of mapping using proportion maps to avoid obtaining geologically unrealistic local power anomalies. Results. A set of modified maps of the total thickness of clinocyclites was obtained, reflecting the key features of the geological structure of the modeling object, particularly facies differentiation and related lateral heterogeneity. Conclusions. The chosen approach to constructing maps of gross thickness allowed to obtain geologically realistic maps of effective thickness, which, in turn, formed the basis for mapping of productive volume.

Published: October 2024

Background. Currently, there is a problem of studying intervals represented by weakly cemented core, although such rocks can be the main reservoirs. Lack of reliable petrophysical information leads to underestimation of the main parameters of porosity and permeability, which in the future is likely to lead to incorrect estimation of hydrocarbon reserves. The relevance of the work is due to the lack of unified regulatory and methodological approaches to the research of weakly cemented core material. Objective. To develop our own methodological approach by selecting technologies and techniques, which allows to carry out primary preparation, sampling, profile measurements and petrophysical studies of weakly cemented core. Materials and methods. We used weakly cemented core from the Volga-Ural oil and gas province and conducted the research in accordance with the requirements specified in the guidelines for laboratory tests using necessary supplies. The methods considered in the article cover the time interval from the early 2000s. Results. In the course of the work, standard methods of core investigation were considered, and the possibility of their application to the samples of weakly cemented rock was evaluated. The peculiarities of sample preparation and research on weakly cemented core were also revealed. Conclusions. A methodological approach was developed that allows primary preparation, sampling, profile measurements and petrophysical studies of weakly cemented core.

Authors: Kuliev E.A. , Fedoreeva M.A.
Published: October 2024

Background. The reliability of the lithological and petrophysical studies is largely determined by the quality of the core material. The invasion of drilling mud filtrate into the core will primarily affect the measurements of the fluid type, residual oil and water saturation, porosity, permeability, geochemical properties and wettability of the rock. Evaluating the suitability of the core material for laboratory studies is one of the main tasks in the study of low-invasion core. Objective. To determine the most informative methods of penetration of process fluids into the pore space of the rock to assess the suitability of the core for laboratory studies. Materials and methods. The paper uses the methods of lithological and petrophysical research of core and reservoir fluids. Results. The application of the used research methods is analyzed. The advantages and limitations of each of the presented methods are determined. Conclusions. The assessment of the degree of mud filtrate invasion into the core determines the suitability of the core material for further petrophysical research.

Authors: Sakhratov V. , Malkova T. , Uglovskaya A. , Karpova L.
Published: October 2024

Relevance. The quality of medicinal plant raw materials is a necessary condition for its suitability for use along with safety. The appearance of impurities or the loss of biologically active substances during improper harvesting and storage negatively affect the pharmacological and physico-chemical properties. The regulatory framework for the evaluation of medicinal plant raw materials (LRS) in the Republic of Tajikistan includes the use of the USSR State Pharmacopoeia (GF) of the 11th edition, in the articles of which there is no section for determining the main groups of biologically active substances (BAS). Currently, the State Budget of the Russian Federation XIV has established a methodological approach for determining the main groups of BAS by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), which is economical, express and can be recommended for use in routine analytical practice of chemical laboratories of the Republic of Tajikistan for the purposes of input control of raw materials. Therefore, it is extremely important to harmonize the methodological basis for assessing the quality of the LRS of the Republic of Tajikistan with the requirements of the State Budget of the Russian Federation XIV. The purpose of the work is to introduce into analytical practice the methodology for determining biologically active substances in plant raw materials produced and/or sold in pharmacy institutions of the Republic of Tajikistan by harmonizing and improving the methods of the State Budget of the Russian Federation XIV. Materials and methods. The objects of the study were motherwort grass (Leonurus spp.), horsetail (Equisetum arvense), nettle leaves (Urtica dioica), thyme grass (Thymus serpyllum), representing LRS in cardboard packs purchased in pharmacies of the Republic of Tajikistan. It was not possible to determine the origin of raw materials (wild or cultivated) in these objects. Plates for Sorbfil PTSH-P-V-UV thin-layer chromatography were used as the stationary phase. The conditions of sample preparation, chromatography, and interpretation of the results obtained were optimized taking into account the current pharmacopoeia articles of the State Budget of the Russian Federation XIV. Results. The harmonization of methods for determining the main groups of BAS of horsetail grass, motherwort, thyme, nettle leaves growing in the Republic of Tajikistan by thin-layer chromatography was carried out. Methodological recommendations have been developed. Conclusions. The thin-layer chromatography method, due to its accessibility, cost-effectiveness and low time spent on analysis, can be widely used in the Republic of Tajikistan for the purposes of input and sample control of raw materials

Authors: Mikhailova I. , Ivanova E. , Pupykina K. , Bondarenko A. , Voronkova I. , Vinokurova N.
Published: October 2024

Relevance. It is of interest to search for new plant sources of essential trace elements. It is topical to study the content in plants of transitional mi-croelements of the IV period, which are part of the enzyme systems of the human body – Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Ni, Co, Cr. A promising source of microele-ments is the herb of Cichorium intybus L. It should be noted that the accumulation of microelements in raw materials may depend on their content in the soil, on the nature of the interaction between microelements. For this reason, it was relevant to study the content of essential microelements in chicory herb growing in various territories of the Orenburg region, and in the soil of these territories. The purpose of the work: to evaluate the content of essential microelements in the herb of Cichorium intybus L., growing in the Tyulgansky, Ponomarevsky, Buzuluksky, Sharlyksky and Sakmarsky districts of the Orenburg region, and in the soil of these areas. Material and methods. Herb of Cichorium intybus L., collected in July 2021 in the Central (Tulgansky, Sakmarsky districts) and in the Western Oren-burg region (Ponomarevsky, Buzuluksky, Sharlyksky districts). Determination of the content of trace elements was carried out by atomic absorption spectrometry. Statistica 10.0 software package (StatSoft, Inc.) was used for statistical processing. Results. Analysis of the content of essential microelements in the herb of Cichorium intybus L. showed that the maximum content of Mn, Co and Cr was noted in the herb of chicory collected in the Buzuluksky district, Cu and Zn – in the raw material of the Sharlyksky district, Ni – in the raw material of the Tyulgansky district, Fe – in the raw material of Buzuluksky and Tulgansky districts. An analysis of the content of essential microelements in the soil found that the highest concentrations of Mn, Co, Fe, Zn and Cu were noted in the soil of the Buzuluksky district, Ni and Cr – in the soil of the Tyulgansky district. Conclusion. Thus, the established differences in the content of essential microelements in the herb of Cichorium imtybus L., collected in the Orenburg region, may be due to differences in the content of these microelements in the soil, the phenomena of antagonism, synergism, and are taken into ac-count when choosing raw materials containing the highest concentrations of microelements.

Show Business ou Business Show? O Empreendedorismo Retratado em Programas de Televisão
Authors: Viana Brenda Soares , Conke Leonardo Silveira
Published: October 2024

Confrontada nos últimos anos com outras formas de mídia audiovisual, a televisão persiste como um meio de comunicação relevante, inclusive sobre assuntos relacionados aos negócios. Os programas de televisão sobre empreendedorismo, por exemplo, ainda são continuamente produzidos, o que originou a indagação sobre a qualidade do que é veiculado nesses programas. Assim, o objetivo com esta pesquisa foi analisar a contribuição ao conhecimento sobre empreendedorismo dos programas da televisão brasileira dedicados a esse tema. A pesquisa foi exploratória, com abordagem de levantamento e coleta de dados por meio de questionário, respondido por 206 docentes de Administração de instituições públicas de ensino superior. Os resultados indicaram que o principal intuito dos programas de televisão investigados é gerar entretenimento, sendo o conhecimento técnico sobre empreendedorismo abordado de forma superficial. Ao ressaltarem a atuação individual de empreendedores e divulgarem, sobretudo, histórias de sucesso, esses programas não retratam de maneira consistente elementos como as fases do empreendedorismo (ideia, plano de negócios, obtenção de recursos etc.) nem as variáveis ambientais, pessoais e organizacionais presentes no processo. Nesse sentido, aqueles que estão interessados em aprender sobre empreendedorismo não devem considerar os programas de televisão como as principais fontes de informação e conhecimento. A principal contribuição da pesquisa consiste na avaliação do conteúdo técnico, em comparação com iniciativas focadas no comportamento dos participantes ou apenas no estímulo geral ao empreendedorismo. Como contribuição teórica, destaca-se a descrição e a sistematização das características dos diferentes gêneros de programas sobre empreendedorismo – game show, consultoria em negócios e informativo.

Published: October 2024

O uso do medicamento intracanal no tratamento endodôntico, com ênfase no hidróxido de cálcio na sua forma pura e nas suas combinações, é considerado o medicamento de primeira escolha devido aos seus resultados superiores, possuindo propriedades antimicrobianas e capacidade de formar uma barreira mineralizada. Um dos exemplos de associação que podemos obter é o hidróxido de cálcio associado a substâncias como paramonoclorofenol canforado (PMCC) ou clorexidina para ampliar sua eficácia antimicrobiana. O tempo de permanência do medicamento no canal é essencial para garantir sua eficácia, sendo recomendado que permaneça por um período que permita a difusão dos íons hidroxila através da dentina. O êxito do tratamento endodôntico está diretamente relacionado a um medicamento eficaz que assegure a desinfecção e a diminuição de organismos patogênicos. Além disso, é fundamental que o profissional realize uma adequada instrumentação do canal radicular para remover o máximo possível de tecido pulpar infectado e promover a limpeza dos canais, preparando-os para receber o medicamento intracanal.

Authors: Padilha Laura da Costa , Rufino Nicoly Maria Silva , Abdala Paula de Carvalho Comastri , Oliveira Raquel Cristine de , Barros Gérsika Bitencourt Santos
Published: October 2024

Pacientes com necessidades especiais enfrentam um maior risco de desenvolver doenças orais, o que pode afetar significativamente sua qualidade de vida. Isso ocorre principalmente devido à dificuldade em manter uma boa higiene bucal, devido às suas limitações e, às vezes, à falta de colaboração com seus cuidadores. Nesse sentido, o papel do dentista é crucial para orientar e motivar os responsáveis a cuidarem da saúde bucal desses pacientes. Portanto, é essencial um acompanhamento multidisciplinar para garantir uma melhoria na qualidade de vida desses indivíduos. O objetivo deste estudo foi conduzir uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa sobre a relevância do atendimento odontológico para pessoas com necessidades especiais (PNE), destacando a importância do uso de medicamentos, contenções, envolvimento dos pais e colaboração multidisciplinar entre profissionais e familiares. Artigos científicos em português, inglês ou espanhol, publicados de 2018 a 2024, foram selecionados das bases de dados: PubMed, BBO, LILACS e SciELO, utilizando os descritores: pacientes especiais, atendimento odontológico e saúde bucal. Os resultados indicaram que as PNE frequentemente apresentam problemas bucais mais graves devido a limitações motoras, dificuldades de cooperação e comportamentos agressivos, prejudicando a higiene bucal, apesar da presença de um cuidador. Portanto, a Odontologia para PNE requer abordagens específicas para os procedimentos, além de atenção às condições sistêmicas do paciente. Destaca-se também a importância de o dentista fornecer informações, orientar os cuidados orais, recomendar técnicas auxiliares e incentivar os cuidadores a manterem a higiene bucal desses pacientes.

Authors: González Ramírez Carolina , Landeros Tiznado Damaris , Riveros Soto Ana María , Calderón Villarroel Valentina
Published: October 2024

Este estudio tiene como objetivo caracterizar las percepciones sobre el proceso de formación de futuros profesores de Lengua y Literatura que poseen los académicos que imparten asignaturas de literatura y didáctica en carreras de pedagogía en lenguaje. Para ello se adoptó un enfoque cualitativo, a partir del cual se realizaron 12 entrevistas semiestructuradas a académicos y académicas de carreras de pedagogía en lenguaje provenientes de 3 universidades, pertenecientes al Consejo de Rectores de las Universidades Chilenas (CRUCH). Para el tratamiento de los datos se utilizó análisis de contenido (Miles et al.) asistido por NVivo12. Los resultados indican, principalmente, que, si bien la enseñanza de la literatura se considera un aspecto central de la formación de profesores, esta requiere mayor articulación con la didáctica, puesto que se tiende a generar una hiperespecialización en el ámbito literario, lo que dificulta que los futuros profesores adquieran una didáctica de la literatura durante su proceso formativo. A modo de conclusión, se considera pertinente avanzar en el desarrollo de líneas de acción que articulen el trabajo realizado en la universidad con las necesidades actuales de las aulas de Lengua y Literatura de educación secundaria.

Authors: Crespo Allende Nina , Godoy Luque Esperanza , Alfaro-Faccio Pedro , Alvarado Barra Carola
Published: October 2024

En este trabajo se observó la subordinación desde la noción propuesta por la gramática funcional tipológica (Cristofaro, 2003; Givón, 2001, 2009; Haspelmath, 2016, 2021; Van Gijn, Haude y Muysken, 2011). Primero, se elaboró un criterio de análisis de la subordinación conceptual para el español, proponiendo una recategorización de su codificación en formas típicas y alternativas (Alvarado, 2020; Alvarado y Koza, 2018; Crespo y Alvarado, 2021). Posteriormente, se aplicó ese criterio para analizar las narraciones orales de un mismo grupo de escolares hispanohablantes a los 5, 7 y 10 años. Los resultados permitieron ver que la construcción de instancias de subordinación conceptual se incrementaba significativamente a medida que los niños crecían en edad, y, en esta misma lógica, la proporción de formas típicas seleccionadas aumentaba en desmedro de las alternativas.
Mezâkî Divanı’nda Kozmik Âlem

Öz
Yaradılış olarak insanın en temel özelliklerinden bir tanesi merak duygusudur. Bu özellik insanlığı günümüzde bulunduğumuz noktaya getiren temel dürtüdür. Ruhsal ve fiziksel ihtiyaçlarla birleşen merak duygusu bugün insanlığa yapay zekânın rehberlik edeceği yeni bir kapıyı açmak üzeredir. İnsanın yaradılıştan sonra kendi varlığını idrak ettiği ve insanlığın toplum hayatına geçtiği dönemlerden itibaren gökyüzü belki de en çok ilgi duyduğu tabiat unsurudur. Gökyüzünde parlayan, ısı ve ışık kaynağı olan Güneş, gece olduğunda ortaya çıkıp yolunu aydınlatan Ay ve yıldızlar belli dönemlerde tapındıkları ilahlar olmuşken kimi zaman da kendilerine gelecekten haber verdiklerine inandıkları mistik unsurlar haline gelmişlerdir. İnsanla ilişkili her unsur gibi kozmik âlem de insan muhayyilesinin ve zevkinin ürünü olan edebî eserlerde kendisine yer bulmuştur. Klasik Türk edebiyatında da durum farklı değildir. Kozmik unsurlardan şiirinde bahsetmeyen bir şair yoktur. Klasik şairin gökyüzü tasavvuru Batlamyus sistemini esas alır. Bu sistem Dünya’nın merkezinde olduğu birbirini çepeçevre saran dokuz katmandan oluşmaktadır. Katmanlara genel olarak felek ismi verilse de her birinin kendilerine has isimleri vardır. Bu katmanlarda bulunan feleklerin isimleri sırasıyla şöyledir; Kamer, Utârid, Zühre, Şems, Mirrîh, Müşterî, Zuhâl, Felekü’l-Burûc ve Felek-i Atlas. Çalışmada XVII. yüzyıl klasik Türk edebiyatı şairlerinden Mezâkî’nin Divanı esas alınarak felek kavramı ve dokuz feleğin klasik şiirdeki anlam dünyası üzerinde durulmaktadır.

The Political Economy Effects of the Bologna Process
Authors: Giani Marco
Published: October 2024

Using a staggered difference-in-difference design, we study the consequence ofthe largest ever market-oriented transformation in higher education – the ‘Bologna process’ –on the ideology and socioeconomic outcomes of European Millennials. We find that the reformpersistently and substantially elevated the students’ individualist concern for social status overtheir universalist concern for global justice, values conforming with ‘liquid modernity’ over ‘solidmodernity’ and the salience of economic over sociocultural goals. The ‘self-interest bias’ isorthogonal to the traditional left-right cleavage in attitudinal or behavioural metrics and emergesabsent any significant change in long-term income, wealth, unemployment, or occupationalprestige. Through a direct mechanism of political socialisation, the globalisation of Europeanhigher education increased the perceived importance of status without improving it, shifting theeducated class away from its presumed role in endorsing cosmopolitan causes. Institutionally-drivenstatus anxiety, not idiosyncratic generational morals, constructs the ‘student customer’.
Resource Efficiency as an environmental performance metric for industry: the case of clinker manufacturing in Europe
Authors: Morgado Ana , Gauch Hannes , Cullen Jonathan M.
Published: October 2024

Control-data exergy-based Resource Efficiency (RE) analysis is applied to investigate resource use and efficiency improvements in the cement industry to understand what insights can be gained into the efficiency of clinker manufacturing and possible decarbonisation options when having full access to material and energy flows from the manufacturing plant control system. Mapping of the resources in and out of the clinker manufacturing section showed that total resource input is dominated by the flow of fuels, with the clinker burning section constituting the most energy and emissions-intensive part of the process. The plant is found to have an annual mean RE of 47.8% in compound operation, and 38.3% in direct operation. Three improvement options are identified: recycling of dust, reduction of heat transfer losses across the kiln, and optimisation of the plant’s continuous operation, with heat losses reduction having the largest improvement potential in terms of the overall plant RE and the reduction of CO2 emissions. Despite providing a detailed representation of the real-time operation capable of identifying potential improvement interventions, the use of control-data is found to be highly intensive and time-consuming. In the future, it would be interesting to investigate whether the same level of insights into the efficiency and potential for decarbonisation of clinker manufacturing could be gained using less data.
Dynamical Analysis of a Predator-Prey Model with Additive Allee Effect and Prey Group Defense
Authors: Resmawan Resmawan , Suryanto Agus , Darti Isnani , Panigoro Hasan S
Published: October 2024

In this article, we develop a predator-prey model with Allee effect and prey group defense. The model has three equilibrium points i.e. the trivial point, the predator extinction point, and the coexistence point. All equilibrium points are locally asymptotically stable under certain conditions. The Allee effect in this model influences the stability of the equilibrium point. If the Allee effect is weak, then the trivial equilibrium point is unstable. Meanwhile, if the Allee effect is strong, then the trivial equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable. Those mean that a strong Allee effect can lead to the extinction of both populations. Moreover, under weak Allee condition, forward bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation occur at the predator extinction equilibrium point. Meanwhile, a strong Allee effect may induce bistability at both the trivial equilibrium point and the predator extinction equilibrium point. Those mean that prey can survive without the presence of predators, but a strong Allee effect can lead to prey extinction if the population size is very small. To support our analytical findings, we perform some numerical simulations in the final section.

Published: October 2024

This research, a collaborative effort, aims to bridge the gap between governance recommendations at the international level for Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and local practice (local perspectives). It explores local stakeholders’ environmental concerns through demographic attributes, including gender, education, and generational cohort. Stakeholders' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding environmental concerns were assessed within the context of the local mid-term restoration program, Green Darkhan-2030, in Darkhan City, Mongolia. 266 participants from the "Green Darkhan-2030 forum," who are considered key stakeholders of the local restoration program, completed our survey. To ensure the reliability of the survey findings, interviews were conducted with 16 stakeholder representatives, including residents, government officials, NGOs, research and training organizations, and international organizations. The data were categorized into five groups using 24 indicator statements: environmental policy knowledge, climate change awareness, attitudes on environmental pollution, land degradation awareness, and sustainability practices. We saw variations in environmental concern across different generations, including Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers, with young Millennials aged 27 to 35 demonstrating significantly higher levels of environmental concern. The research findings also provide valuable insights into the impact of gender differences on pollution and degradation concerns. While education significantly influences environmental concerns, we found that it had a limited impact on climate change awareness, urban greening, and environmental policy knowledge. These research findings have since been incorporated into the Darkhan City midterm restoration program, ensuring that the perspectives and insights of stakeholders will help to shape future efforts.
A Hybrid Approach to Ransomware Detection Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Random Forests on Network Traffic Patterns
Authors: Woo Lala , Tan Shi , Tan Tsingyi , Lao Gua
Published: October 2024

Ransomware attacks have rapidly escalated into one of the most pressing cybersecurity threats, causing severe financial and operational damage to both individuals and organizations. Traditional detection methods often fall short of identifying evolving ransomware strains, as they rely heavily on static signatures and predefined rules. A novel approach is presented that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Random Forests to enhance detection accuracy through network traffic analysis. The CNN component automatically extracts complex patterns from network flows, while the Random Forest classifier ensures robust classification of ransomware-related anomalies. This hybrid model significantly improves detection performance, reducing false positives and adapting to new ransomware variants in real-time.

Researchers have now started using Bayesian hierarchical modeling to study semantic representations. Ramotowska et al. (2024) have contributed to the further development of this methodology by examining natural language quantifier expressions such as most, few, etc. Their model disentangles three key semantic parameters: the meaning threshold of quantifiers, the uncertainty surrounding that threshold, and response noise. In this work we pursued two main goals. First, we refined the original model by (1) incorporating informative prior distributions that generate meaningful predictions, (2) adding a covariance structure to broaden its scope to study semantic representations across time and paradigms, and (3) changing its link function to clearly identify quantifiers' truth conditions. Second, using our model, we aimed to experimentally test the stability of semantic representations across time and paradigms, and to evaluate two competing theoretical approaches that explain quantifier vagueness. For that, we applied our model to two datasets. We reanalyzed data (n=63) from Ramotowska et al. (2023) to test the stability across time. We then conducted a new experiment (n=178) to test the stability across paradigms. Our results suggest that semantic representations change over time and paradigms. Moreover, we find that uncertainty around the meaning threshold is observable at both the group and individual levels, which supports the threshold model of meaning over alternatives based rigidly on logic and Generalized Quantifier Theory. Our proposed model allows researchers to study semantic representation of quantifier meanings effectively and offers the versatility to be applied to a wide range of linguistic constructs.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), and specifically large language models, demonstrate remarkable social-emotional abilities, which may improve human-AI interactions and AI’s emotional support capabilities. However, it remains unclear whether empathy, encompassing understanding, ’feeling with’, and caring, is perceived differently when attributed to AI versus humans. We conducted nine studies (N = 6,282) where AI-generated empathic responses to participants’ emotional situations were labeled as either provided by humans or AI. Human-attributed responses were rated as more empathic and supportive, and elicited more positive and fewer negative emotions, compared to AI-attributed ones. Moreover, participants own uninstructed belief that AI aided human-attributed responses, reduced perceived empathy and support. These effects replicated across varying response lengths, delays, iterations and LLMs, being primarily driven by responses emphasizing emotional sharing and care. Additionally, people consistently chose human interaction over AI when seeking emotional engagement. These findings advance our general understanding of empathy, and specifically human–AI empathic interactions.

Three hundred billion or more yellow mealworms (Tenebrio molitor; Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) are reared each year as food and feed. Instantaneous, and thus likely humane, death may be achieved for farmed insect larvae through the use of grinding/shredding. However, due to differences in morphology and neurophysiology, species-specific guidance is needed to create standard operating procedures that ensure a high likelihood of instantaneous death for each insect species; no such data has been collected for yellow mealworms. Further, prior studies recommend – but have not tested – the use of a filler to improve the likelihood of instantaneous death for the last larvae to exit the machine. Data are needed to demonstrate if this recommendation actually improves the likelihood of instantaneous death. In this study, we test how larval body size, particle size plate hole diameter (2.55 v. 5.5 mm), and the use of filler at the end of a run all affected the likelihood of instantaneous death for yellow mealworm larvae that are slaughtered using a standard meat grinder. Our results suggest that very few yellow mealworm larvae will die instantly when receiving a single cut to any particular body segment. The overall likelihood of dying instantly varied based on the interaction between plate size and the use of filler. In the best case, a 96.47 ± 1.19% likelihood of instant death could be produced with a 2.55 mm plate and the use of filler; both the larger plate size and the lack of a filler reduced the overall likelihood of instant death (73.27 ± 3.66% for the 5.5 mm plate without filler). We conclude with a protocol for producers that wish to test their own machinery (as different machine designs may cause variance from our results) and with recommendations to support producers in more humane slaughter practices using this method.
Problematizing content moderation by social media platforms and its impact on digital harm reduction
Authors: Gomes André Belchior , Sultan Aysel
Published: October 2024

Recent years have marked a shift in selling and buying illicit psychoactive drugs from darknetcryptomarkets to publicly accessible social media and messaging platforms. As more users turnto procuring drugs this way, the role of digital harm reduction has become particularly urgent.However, one of the main obstacles complicating the implementation of digital harm reductionis the increasingly automated content moderation by the social media platforms. While someplatforms are less restrictive about harm reduction content (e.g., TikTok), others implementhigher degrees of moderation, including the removal of individual content and banning ofentire profile pages (e.g., Instagram). This article discusses community guidelines of fivepopular social media and messaging platforms and their content moderation tools. It aims tohighlight how these guidelines may be inadvertently curbing the dissemination of harmreduction and health promotion materials, and erroneously interpreting it as a promotion ofdrug use and sales. The discussion concludes that digital harm reduction requirestransdisciplinary collaboration of professional organizations, researchers, and social mediaplatforms to ensure reliable implementation of digital harm reduction, and help build saferdigital communities.
Single-station vehicle tracking using six-component seismic measurements: A comparative study with array-based methods

Published: October 2024

This study investigates the use of six-component (6C) seismic measurements for tracking moving traffic sources. We employ a collocated seismometer and rotational sensor to simultaneously capture both translational and rotational ground motions induced by vehicle sources. Our research demonstrates a novel method for determining source directionality using a single 6C station. This station has a small footprint, but it also allows us to extract directional information from both Rayleigh and Love waves. To validate our approach, we compare the estimated source directionality obtained from two different types of rotational sensors. Additionally, we compare our results against those derived from conventional array methods, including frequency-wavenumber analysis and array-derived rotation from a traditional seismic array deployed alongside our 6C stations. Our findings confirm the efficacy of the proposed 6C method in accurately locating vehicle sources. Importantly, the proposed 6C point measurement offers advantages over traditional array-based methods, particularly in environments where deploying multiple sensors is challenging. The success of this technique in traffic monitoring underscores its potential for broader applications, including real-time seismic source monitoring and early warning systems for geohazards. This study thus presents a significant advancement in seismic source tracking methodology, offering new possibilities for both urban and environmental seismic noise analysis.
Effect of saturation procedures on direct simple shear testing of silt tailings

Published: October 2024

The direct simple shear (DSS) test carried out under constant volume (CV) conditions forms one of the primary laboratory devices to characterise soils and tailings.  The use of CV conditions to simulate undrained shearing is supported by historical evidence on the testing of a saturated clay and dry sands, with this evidence being incorporated into current guidelines and state of practice procedures.  However, some recent comparisons of the results of undrained hollow cylinder simple shear (HCSS) and CV DSS tests on predominately silt gold tailings adopting state of practice test procedures (i.e., inundation of the sample after loose moist tamping) showed much less post-peak strength loss in the gold tailings than the undrained HCSS tests.  The current study investigated this discrepancy further by carrying out DSS tests under high back pressures, undrained confined simple shear (CSS) tests and DSS tests after flushing with carbon dioxide and with use of a small back pressure.  In all cases, the undrained tests or DSS tests with greater effort put towards saturation exhibited more pronounced post-peak strength loss more consistent with the HCSS and the critical state line.  The importance of these results on the estimation of tailings brittleness in engineering practice was outlined.
