Prioritizing Urban Areas For The Deployment Of Hyper-Local Flood Sensors Using Stakeholder Elicitation And Risk Analysis
Authors: Negri Riccardo , Ceferino Luis , Cremen Gemma
Published: May 2024

New urban monitoring networks with low-cost sensors can measure hyper-local floods in real-time in hundreds of locations. These novel networks promise enhanced flood risk management, especially within cities where floods can be extremely local. However, current sensor deployment strategies rely on limited metrics (e.g., proximity to densely populated areas) and do not adequately account for the various potential monitoring uses and stakeholders (e.g., emergency responders, critical infrastructure managers, and researchers). Thus, cities have no methodological framework to compare the holistic benefits of deploying new hyper-local sensors in different areas. To address this gap, we develop a framework to prioritize urban areas for sensor deployment based on potential uses for enhanced flood risk management and the exposure of infrastructure and community to high flood hazards at micro-urban scales. This framework includes (1) obtaining stakeholder feedback on the potential uses of sensors and relevant metrics for decision-making on their deployment, (2) quantifying these metrics with publicly available data to integrate them with flood hazard information through probabilistic risk analysis, and (3) combining the metrics to identify areas to be prioritized for sensor deployment. We tested the framework with a case study in New York City, a densely populated urban area with highly heterogeneous communities and infrastructure exposed to high flood hazards. Through elicitation with 45 local stakeholders, we identified 32 potential uses and 58 metrics to prioritize areas for sensor deployment covering flood risk management, the welfare of residents, and the protection of critical infrastructure (e.g., transportation, drainage, and energy). Overall, the proposed framework and case study offer new insights into how modern monitoring networks can help to enhance flood disaster risk management in cities.
Do institutions evolve like material technologies?
Authors: Molho Catherine , Peña Jorge , Singh Manvir , Derex Maxime
Published: May 2024

Norms and institutions enable large-scale human cooperation by creating shared expectations and changing individuals’ incentives via monitoring or sanctioning. Like material technologies, these social technologies satisfy instrumental ends and solve difficult problems. However, the similarities and differences between the evolution of material technologies and the evolution of social technologies remain unresolved. Here, we review evidence suggesting that, compared to the evolution of material technologies, institutional and normative evolution exhibits constraints in the production of variation and the selection of useful variants. These constraints stem from the frequency-dependent nature of social technologies and limit the pace and scope of normative and institutional evolution. We conclude by reviewing research on the social transmission of institutions and norms and highlighting an experimental paradigm to study their cultural evolution.
Effort
Authors: Hendrickx Malte
Published: May 2024

At first glance, the type of effort required to solve a chess puzzle and run a marathon seem fundamentally different. This paper argues that’s wrong. I present a novel "mental-effort first" account in which all effort is fundamentally mental in nature. I outline the psychological mechanisms behind effort choice and execution, emphasizing the role of cognitive control, a mental process by which all efforts–mental and bodily–are selected and enacted. I present five arguments that convergently provide strong support for the mental-effort first account. Additionally, I examine the implications of this unified theory of effort for philosophical discussions in ethics, philosophy of mind, and action theory.
Can Americans' Trust in Local News Be Trusted? The Emergence, Sources and Implications of the Local News Trust Advantage
Authors: Peterson Erik , Darr Joshua P. , Allamong Maxwell B. , Henderson Mike
Published: May 2024

Despite eroding consensus about credible political news sources, much of the public still trusts local media. We assess the emergence, sources and implications of the trust advantage local news holds over national media. We argue the public now uses a news outlet's local orientation as a shortcut to assess its credibility. In survey experiments, we find unfamiliar news outlets are trusted more when they have a local cue in their name. In surveys where people evaluate digital sources covering their community, this heuristic leads the public to trust unreliable information providers that signal a local focus more than high-quality sources that do not. Our findings position local media as unique, broadly trusted communicators while also illustrating a logic behind recent efforts to disseminate biased political information by packaging it as local news. More broadly, we show the challenges that arise when the public applies once-reliable heuristics in changing political circumstances.
Does Readability in MOOC Attract Potential Learners?
Authors: Kutuk Yasin
Published: May 2024

This paper investigates the impact of readability on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) by exploring the relationship between enrollment numbers and readability in course descriptions, aiming at the “About” section. Out of the 4,514 MOOCs collected from Coursera from 2015 to 2021, this paper used only 3,195 MOOCS since the metrics for readability are mainly based in English. Numerous equations are modeled through an analysis of course attributes and the readability of the “About” section to examine the influence of various course characteristics, including course length, course content, instructors, and readability on enrollments. The study employs five readability metrics and their averages to assess readability in course descriptions. Notably, courses with more readable “About” sections experience higher enrollments, emphasizing the importance of clarity and transparency in course communication. In addition, the total number of videos, available subtitle options in different languages, experienced instructors, and being part of a specialization increase enrollment, while splitting a course into multi-module courses taught by multiple instructors does not attract enrollment.

Authors: Verma Anju , Srivastava Rajani , Sonar Pankaj Kumar , Yadav Ramprakash
Published: May 2024

Rosa alba L. is a perennial flowering shrub belonging to the Rosaceae family. Diabetes is treated in Assam, India, with a decoction of its flower. But to date, there is no scientific evidence for its antidiabetic potential. Therefore, in addition to toxicity investigations, the current study aimed to determine its antidiabetic potential to support conventional claims. In-silico toxicity profiling for the phytoconstituents of the plant was predicted as non-toxic, non-mutagenic, and non-carcinogenic in mice and rats. The Total phenolic and total flavonoid contents were determined and found to be higher in the ethanolic extract than in the aqueous extract of the flower. Antidiabetic activity of orally administered aqueous and alcoholic extracts (200 mg/kg body weight) was evaluated against the high-fat diet fed with a low dose of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Treatment of these extracts significantly (p<0.001) reduced the blood glucose level and lipid profile in induced-diabetic rats without affecting their liver and kidney functions. It was also shown that the liver and pancreatic tissues of animals treated with extracts had enhanced histopathologic architecture. The findings of the study revealed that the flowers of R. alba are a safe herbal remedy for controlling diabetes.

Authors: Mamolis Georgios , Triantafyllopoulou Paraskevi , Jones Karen
Published: May 2024

Context: Research exploring care relationships between support staff (e.g., support workers) and adults with a learning disability in long-term social care residential settings in the United Kingdom is relatively neglected. This has potential theoretical and care practice implications.
Objectives: This study sought to synthesise relevant literature, expand knowledge, and identify directions for future research. We investigated five questions about care relationships and what makes them positive, exploring definitions of care relationships, relational practices and processes, barriers and facilitators to good care relationships, the impact of relationships, and restoration of disrupted relationships.
Methods: Following protocol registration in PROSPERO, a systematic literature review was conducted in June–July 2021. The review was informed by official guidelines and focused on the United Kingdom, covering 41 years of relevant work. Twelve databases and five websites were searched, and experts were contacted. Forty-five reports were included and synthesised using the narrative synthesis framework.
Findings: Definitions of care relationships revolved around friendship, equality, professionalism, and power. Practices and processes underlying positive relationships included knowing the person, setting boundaries, and shifting power dynamics. Barriers to positive care relationships included staff interactional patterns, attributions, and staff dilemmas, whilst facilitators included receiving training and using communication tools. Good care relationships were key to effective support and ways to restore disrupted relationships included receiving input from systemic therapy.
Limitations: Literature was limited for certain review questions and more extensive for others. Only a few reports addressed care relationships as such with the rest focusing on communication or interactions. Time constraints prevented us from including more kinds of reports. The voice of residents was limited.
Implications: We hope that this review contributes to and expands knowledge around care relationships and shapes directions for future research. Findings can be used by support staff, service managers, residents, trainers, advocates, regulators, and researchers.

Clinker High-Hollow Ceramic Stones: Prospects for Technology and Application
Authors: UZHAKHOV K.M. , KOTLYAR A.V.
Published: May 2024

A substantiation is given for the prospects of using clinker large-format ceramic stones of increased hollowness with a water absorption of less than 3% in construction. It has been shown that due to the high strength of the ceramic material itself (more than 100–150 MPa), ceram-ic stones will have the necessary strength – more than 10–15 MPa in terms of compressive strength. Due to the increased void content with as many rows of voids as possible per 100 mm length of the ceramic stone and a smaller thickness of the internal walls, the stones will have reduced thermal conductivity. Due to the low porosity of clinker ceram-ics as a material and the use of appropriate masonry mortars, masonry made of clinker stones will be guaranteed not to be vapor permeable, which will significantly increase the service life of buildings. When us-ing certain technological techniques, namely the application of cham-fers, relief, engobes on the front faces, large-format high-hollow clinker stones can also play the role of facing products, which will significantly increase their consumer attractiveness. With an increase in the hollow-ness of stones, the costs of mass preparation, drying and firing of products are proportionally reduced, which significantly reduces their cost. It has been shown that the “ideal” raw material for producing clinker large-format ceramic stones can be stone-like clay raw materials – argillite-like clays, argillites, shales and their transitional varieties. When grinding them and preparing molding masses, due to the for-mation of a certain grain composition and the introduction of corrective microadditives, it is possible to obtain molding masses with optimal pre-firing technological properties and a clinker shard with water ab-sorption of up to 3% and a compressive strength of up to 200 using one raw material.

The study of issues related to the development of a scientifically substantiated method of obtaining hybrid polymer composites (containing more than one type of reinforcing continuous fiber) in order to improve the stiffness characteristics of the material is an urgent task of building materials science, allowing to expand the field of effective application of polymer composites for structural purposes. Wetting of reinforcing fibers with binders during the fabrication of composites largely determines the occurrence of adhesive bonding. In this study it is revealed that wettability correlates with energy characteristics of phases (reinforcing fibers and binder); dispersion parameters of free surface energy of carbon and glass fibers without oiling composition and apprette, parameters of free surface energy of fibers with oiling compositions and apprettes are determined; wetting of fibers by epoxy resins with determination of their surface tension, parameters of free surface energies at the boundary with air is studied; the question of the separation of fibers from air is investigated.

Considering a piecewise smooth map describing the behavior of a pulse-modulated control system, we discuss border-collision related phenomena. We show that in the parameter space which corresponds to the domain of oscillatory mode a mapping is piecewise linear continuous. It is well known that in piecewise linear maps, classical bifurcations, for example, period doubling, tangent, fold bifurcations become degenerate (“degenerate bifurcations”), combining the properties of both smooth and border-collision bifurcations. We found unusual properties of this map, that consist in the fact that border-collision bifurcations of codimension one, including degenerate ones, occur when a pair of points of a periodic orbit simultaneously collides with two switching manifolds. This paper also discuss bifurcations of chaotic attractors such as merging and expansion (“interior”) crises, associated with homoclinic bifurcations of unstable periodic orbits.

The article is devoted to the development of an algorithm for the approximate solution of the time-optimal control problem for a system of ordinary differential equations, under the condition of avoiding collisions with stationary obstacles and subject to the specified pointwise constraints on the possible values of the control parameters. The main idea is to use a modification of the algorithm for finding suboptimal paths using rapidly growing random trees (RRT*). The most difficult part of this algorithm is to find the optimal trajectories for the problems of transferring the system from one fixed position to another, close to it, without taking into account state constraints. This subproblem is proposed to be solved using the methods of ellipsoidal calculus. This approach makes it possible to efficiently search suboptimal trajectories both for linear systems with large state space dimension and for systems with nonlinear dynamics. Algorithms for the linear and non-linear cases are sequentially analyzed in the paper, and the corresponding examples of calculations are presented.

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are known for their efficiency in solving combinatorial optimization problems, thanks to their ability to explore diverse solution spaces, handle various representations, exploit parallelism, preserve good solutions, adapt to changing dynamics, handle combinatorial diversity, and provide heuristic search. However, limitations such as premature convergence, lack of problem-specific knowledge, and randomness of crossover and mutation operators make GAs generally inefficient in finding an optimal solution. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a new metaheuristic algorithm called the Genetic Engineering Algorithm (GEA) that draws inspiration from genetic engineering concepts. GEA redesigns the traditional GA while incorporating new search methods to isolate, purify, insert, and express new genes based on existing ones, leading to the emergence of desired traits and the production of specific chromosomes based on the selected genes. Comparative evaluations against stateof-the-art algorithms on benchmark instances demonstrate the superior performance of GEA, showcasing its potential as an innovative and efficient solution for combinatorial optimization problems.

Nawyk z definicji jest działaniem lub zachowaniem mechanicznym, powtarzalnym, który jest efektem wielokrotnego powielania. Nawyk nie wymaga intensywnego myślenia, jest czynnością wtórną i wyuczoną. Takie zachowanie pozwala nam na skrócenie czasu reakcji, ale również na ogarnięcie nieładu w życiu codziennym. Zdrowe nawyki są idealnym rozwiązaniem na wprowadzenie równowagi i porządku do harmonogramu dnia, ale również mają bezpośredni wpływ na stan naszego zdrowia i życia.  Uczymy się pewnych działań i zachowań, które stają się dla nas rutyną. Mało tego – są nieodzownym elementem świata biznesu. Zdrowe nawyki to przyzwyczajenia, które mają pozytywny wpływ na nasze zdrowie, samopoczucie i życie. Aby wyrobić sobie zdrowe nawyki, potrzebna jest samodyscyplina i powtarzanie czynności przez kilkadziesiąt dni. Zdrowe nawyki dotyczą m.in. diety, aktywności fizycznej, nawodnienia, badań, odpoczynku i snu. Niektóre przykłady zdrowych nawyków to: wypijanie ciepłej wody rano, jedzenie białka i węglowodanów, spożywanie warzyw i zdrowych olejów, robienie 30-minutowych spacerów, przyjmowanie suplementów z oleju rybnego i dostarczanie ciału zdrowych bakterii. Praca mózgu jako źródło siły fizycznej jest ciekawym tematem, który łączy neurobiologię, psychologię i sport. Istnieją dowody, że aktywność fizyczna ma pozytywny wpływ na funkcjonowanie mózgu, poprawiając nastrój, koncentrację, pamięć i zdolność rozwiązywania problemów. Z drugiej strony, intensywny wysiłek umysłowy może powodować zmęczenie poznawcze, które utrudnia dalsze myślenie i działanie. Praca mózgu i siła fizyczna są ze sobą powiązane i wzajemnie się wpływają. Aby utrzymać optymalną sprawność umysłową i cielesną, należy ćwiczyć zarówno mózg, jak i ciało, ale z umiarem i zrównoważeniem.

Updated Ostrowski inequalities over a spherical shell
Authors: Anastassiou George A.
Published: May 2024

Here we present general multivariate mixed Ostrowski type inequalities over spherical shells and balls. We cover the radial and not necessarily radial cases. The proofs derive by the use of some estimates coming out of some new trigonometric and hyperbolic Taylor’s formulae ([2]) and reducing the multivariate problem to a univariate one via general polar coordinates.

CNC machines allow computer programming to control the movement and actions of the machine, enabling more precise and repeatable production. However, in operating a CNC machine, good and efficient programming is essential. To optimize the use of CNC machines, it is necessary to optimize the number of NC program blocks that include the concept of macros and sub-programs. An effective CNC program, along with the proper use of macros and sub-programs, can speed up the production process, reduce human error, and increase accuracy. The research method used is comparative research by comparing using macro programs and manual programming, in this case comparing the number of solid trajectories and the number of program lines in the design using the simulation method using the Autodesk Fusion 360 application. So that the optimal number of movements will be obtained through the row value in the NC program. Macros and sub- programs allow users to easily change or modify CNC programs without having to rewrite the entire program. This increases flexibility in producing various types of products. It is concluded that optimization using macro and sub-programs provides a significant reduction in the number of program blocks in the case of the machining process for manufacturing the cover of pressure cylinder. This reduction in program blocks can help improve efficiency and sustainability in the development of modified machining processes.

Pembuktian matematika penting bagi mahasiswa matematika di perguruan tinggi, tetapi banyak mahasiswa matematika di perguruan tinggi Indonesia tidak bisa belajar pembuktian matematika dengan baik. Mereka merasa pembuktian matematika sangat sulit. Penelitian ini difokuskan pada mencari jawaban dari pertanyaan "mengapa mahasiswa matematika Indonesia tidak bisa belajar pembuktian matematika dengan baik?" dan  "apa solusinya?". Upaya untuk menjawab pertanyaan ini sudah dilaporkan pada artikel Indra Siregar pada tahun 2015 dengan judul "Pembelajaran pembuktian matematik untuk pemula", tetapi peneliti menemukan beberapa informasi baru berdasarkan data dalam artikel itu. Peneliti menemukan bahwa mahasiswa matematika Indonesia tidak bisa belajar bukti matematis juga tidak hanya disebabkan oleh kemampuan logika matematika yang buruk dan kurangnya buku sumber untuk pemula, tetapi juga kurangnya pengalaman dalam menangani masalah matematika non rutin.   Kita memiliki dua jenis solusi untuk memecahkan masalah ini, yaitu solusi jangka pendek dan solusi jangka panjang.

Effects of Cinnamon on Cancer Prevention and Progression
Authors: Anderson Madison , Hrivnak William , Prak Khanneth , Stockert Amy
Published: May 2024

Cinnamon has been used medicinally for centuries, but recently research has suggested it may have a role in cancer prevention and potentially treatment. The search for alternative and subjunctive therapies is essential due to the public demand and the increasing cost of healthcare. Here we review the biologically active components of cinnamon and discuss the methods of potential cinnamon activity against cancer including: transcription factor regulation and kinase activity. Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-\(𝜿\)B) is a stress sensitive transcription factor that regulates transcription of genes involved in tumor progression and is inhibited by cinnamon components. Another way that cinnamon inhibits tumor growth is by suppression of transcription factor activator protein -1 (AP-1) which interacts with genes responsible for apoptosis, metastasis and inflammation. Hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1 (HIF-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are involved in angiogenesis, especially in the tumor microenvironment. The HIF-1-VEGF pathway are targeted by cinnamaldehyde, a compound found in cinnamon. Nuclear factor erythroid related factor 2 (Nrf2) is also examined and has been indicated to both potentially prevent cancer as well as induce it; various cinnamon derivatives target Nrf2. A cinnamaldehyde derivative has been implicated in a reduction of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), which are a group of kinases that regulate proliferation. Additionally, cinnamon components have been tied to cancer prevention by positively affecting the gut microbiome and inhibiting inflammation. The review concludes with a discussion of the future research needed and potential risk associated with cinnamon intake.
Scientific and practical justification of the use of non-traditional raw materials in the technology of pancakes for dietary nutrition
Authors: Yushchenko N. M. , Shevchuk Yu. V.
Published: May 2024

Today, diseases that cause intolerance to food ingredients in the composition of traditional food products are spreading rapidly in the civilized world. Therefore, the current direction of scientific research is the scientific and practical substantiation of the technologies of food products with multifunctional properties, which will ensure complete nutrition of the most vulnerable categories of society – with intolerance to gluten, milk proteins, and egg white, lactase deficiency, insulin resistance, and prediabetic conditions, etc. The selection of non-traditional raw materials was carried out, and the pancake recipe based on non-traditional raw materials was scientifically substantiated. The modification was done by replacing the composition of the recipe with wheat flour of the highest grade with gluten-free types, such as flour of green banana and teff. It is possible to replace high-grade flour in the recipe of pancakes with a mixture of gluten-free types of flour – green banana and teff in the ratio of 70:30. The expediency of adding tapioca starch to the composition of gluten-free pancakes in the amount of 20 % of the flour mass, which will ensure the formation of the structure of the finished products – the porosity index of products with the addition of tapioca starch was on average 52 %, which was 4 % higher than the similar indicator of the control sample based on wheat flour of the highest grade. It was established that replacing chicken eggs with chickpea aquafaba and cow's milk with coconut drink has no significant effect on pancake dough's structural and mechanical properties. A recipe has been developed, and technological parameters for the production of pancakes based on non-traditional raw materials for dietary nutrition have been established. It was established that the index of elasticity of the new type of pancake slightly differed from the control sample based on wheat flour of the highest grade. The height of the product after baking was somewhat (on average by 1.0 %) lower than the control sample, which is explained by the poorer structure-forming properties of gluten-free raw ingredients. The organoleptic indicators of a new type of pancakes were evaluated, proving the proposed solutions' expediency and effectiveness.
