Research and Data as Tools in Advocates' Decision Making: A Focus on China and Southeast Asia
Authors: Faunalytics  , Chung Jah Ying , Stennett Jack 
Published: December 2024

In January 2024, Faunalytics released Phase I of the “Research And Data As Tools In Advocates’ Decision-Making” project (Faunalytics, 2024), which sought to understand how the animal advocacy movement utilizes data in order to improve the production, funding, and use of research to help animals. This study—Phase II of the same project—takes a deeper dive into research and data use among animal advocates in the Global South, specifically looking at China and Southeast Asia, a region of particular importance due to its large farmed animal population and relative neglectedness in the advocacy community (Founders Pledge, 2020). With the aim of enhancing our understanding of how animal advocacy organizations in these regions engage with research and data, we conducted small focus group discussions with leaders of animal advocacy organizations across the region. Specifically, we explore the five ways research is used, the four barriers and enablers of research use, and the differences in how Asian advocates use research, as compared to advocates in the Global North. By understanding these critical levers of data usage, advocates and funders—both within Asia and globally—can support animal advocates in China and Southeast Asia in their efforts to protect animals in the region.
What Vegan Advocates Can Learn From The Social Spread Of Quitting Smoking
Authors: Faunalytics  
Published: December 2024

Anyone who has been vegan for a while has likely seen how their diet and lifestyle can influence or spread to those around them. Yet if each vegan was able to create two new vegans, we would have likely seen more significant shifts in the rates of veganism (Our World In Data, 2022) in recent decades. This illustrates the difficulties of understanding social contagion—the process of information (including attitudes or behaviors) spreading throughout a group—especially in relation to veganism. By understanding social contagion better, advocates can improve their diet change outreach, possibly by mastering the art of “vegan contagion.” The spread of veg*nism hasn’t been formally studied as of yet, but this study reflects on a similar behavior change that has been commonly studied: quitting smoking. With this literature review, we examined peer influences on quitting smoking with the goal of generating hypotheses about peer-to-peer influence on veg*nism. We believe these findings will be beneficial for both advocates working on diet change or animal product reduction as well as researchers looking to study the social contagion of veg*nism.

The effect of icariin on the stereological parameters of mice's kidneys treated with acrylamide
Authors: Hosseini Mohammad , Pouratzari Majid , Anuri Morteza , Abbasi Abolqasem , Razavi Farnoosh 
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Acute kidney injury, a leading cause of kidney failure, can be triggered by toxic substances such as acrylamide. Herbal medicines, known for their antioxidant properties may help reduce the harmful effects of acrylamide.
Objectives: This study aims to explore the antioxidant effects of icariin, a natural plant product, on the side effects of acrylamide on the stereological changes in kidney tissue in mice.
Materials and Methods: In an experimental study, 32 male mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: intact control, icariin control (dose (100mg/kg/day; acrylamide control) dose 10mg/kg/day); Acrylamide treatment group (10mg/kg/day + Icarrin with a dose of 100mg/kg/day; all substances were administered orally for five weeks. At the end of the fifth week, the animals were anesthetized and ethically euthanized, and their kidneys were subsequently removed. Biometric indicators such as kidney length, changes in kidney thickness, and weight were examined before the kidneys were fixed in formalin. Tissue sections were prepared and analyzed using the H & E method after staining. Stereological indices, including changes in kidney volume, cortex volume, medulla volume, the ratio of glomerulus to cortex surface, and the ratio of renal tubules to cortex surface, were then calculated. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 21 statistical software.
Results: Biometric indicators such as kidney length and thickness, as well as stereological indicators like kidney volume, cortex volume, and medulla volume, showed a statistically significant decrease in the acrylamide group compared to the control and treatment groups (P<0.05). These findings were consistent with the histopathological results observed in the studied groups.
Conclusion: Acrylamide leads to a reduction in both biometric and stereological indicators of kidney health, while the use of icariin potentially mitigates these negative effects. Further studies are necessary to determine the efficacy of icariin in alleviating renal complications caused by acrylamide.

Γ‐convergence of stratified media with measure‐valued limits
Authors: Gustafsson Björn , Heron Bernard , Mossino Jacqueline 
Published: December 2024

We consider energy functionals, or Dirichlet forms, [Formula: see text] for a class $\mathcal{G}$ of bounded domains $\varOmega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ , with $\varepsilon >0$ a fine structure parameter and with symmetric conductivity matrices $A^\varepsilon=(a^\varepsilon_{ij})\in L_\mathrm{loc}^\infty(\mathbb{R})^{N\times N}$ which are functions only of the first coordinate $x_1$ and which are locally uniformly elliptic for each fixed $\varepsilon>0$ . We show that if the functions (of $x_1$ ) $b^\varepsilon_{11}={1}/{a^\varepsilon_{11}}$ , $b^\varepsilon_{1j}={a^\varepsilon_{1j}}/{a^\varepsilon_{11}}\ (j\geq 2)$ , $b^\varepsilon_{ij}= a^\varepsilon_{ij} - {a^\varepsilon_{i1}a^\varepsilon_{1j}}/{a^\varepsilon_{11}} \ (i, j\geq 2)$ converge weakly* as measures towards corresponding limit measures $b_{ij}$ as $\varepsilon\to 0$ , if the $(1,1)$ ‐coefficient $m_{11}^\varepsilon$ of $(A^\varepsilon)^{-1}$ is bounded in $L_\mathrm{loc}^1(\mathbb{R})$ and if none of its weak* cluster measures has atoms in common with $b_{ii}$ , $i\geq 2$ , then the family $J^\varepsilon=\{J_\varOmega^\varepsilon \}_{\varOmega\in \mathcal{G}}$ $\varGamma$ ‐converges in a local sense towards a naturally defined limit family $J=\{J_\varOmega \}_{\varOmega\in \mathcal{G}}$ as $\varepsilon\to 0$ . An alternative way of formulating the conclusion is to say that the energy densities $(A^\varepsilon\nabla u,\nabla u)$ $\varGamma$ ‐converge in a distributional sense towards the corresponding limit density. Writing $J_\varOmega^\varepsilon$ in terms of $B^\varepsilon=(b_{ij}^\varepsilon)$ it becomes [Formula: see text] and the definition of $J_\varOmega$ and the limit density $(A\nabla u,\nabla u)$ is obtained by properly replacing the $b^\varepsilon_{ij}\in L_\mathrm{loc}^\infty (\mathbb{R})$ by the limit measures $b_{ij}$ and making sense to everything for $u$ in a certain linear subspace of $L_\mathrm{loc}^2(\mathbb{R}^N)$ .
Scattering problems for a canonical system with a pseudo‐exponential potential
Authors: Gohberg I. , Kaashoek M.A. , Sakhnovich A.L. 
Published: December 2024

Scattering problems are solved for a canonical differential system with a pseudo‐exponential potential v. The latter means that v is defined in terms of a triple consisting of an n×n matrix β and two n×m matrices γ1 and γ2 satisfying β*−β=iγ2γ2 *, via the formula v(x)=−2iγ1 *eixα*Σ(x)−1eixαγ, γ=−(γ1+iγ2), where α=β−γ1γ2* and the matrix function Σ is given by Σ(x)=In+∫0xΛ(t)Λ(t)* dt, Λ(x)=[e−ixαγ1 eixαγ]. Such a potential may not be summable. Explicit formulas are presented for the scattering function and the reflection coefficient of the system, and for other functions defined in terms of the asymptotic properties of the fundamental solution of the corresponding differential system. The corresponding inverse problems are also solved explicitly. The state space method from algebraic system theory is used as a basic tool. The results extend those in [11, 2, 5, 4].
An existence result for a model of granular material with non‐constant density
Authors: Gwiazda Piotr 
Published: December 2024

We consider a model developed by Savage and Hutter [17,18], which describes the flow of granular avalanches down a smoothly varying slope. The system consists of two nonstrictly hyperbolic equations for height and momentum. The existence of entropy solutions to this model is proved using the vanishing viscosity method, where we make extensive use of a generalised version of the invariant region theorem in order to prove a priori estimates. Since the model has a discontinuous source term, a new definition of entropy solution must be introduced.
Homogenization of the transient Reynolds equation
Authors: Buscaglia G. , Ciuperca I. , Jai M. 
Published: December 2024

State‐of‐the‐art magnetic storage devices have head‐to‐disk distances of about 300 Angstrom, for which compressibility, slip‐flow and roughness effects are significant. Since the head and the disk are in relative motion, the air‐gap thickness when both surfaces are rough varies rapidly in both space and time. A rigorous homogenization of the transient compressible Reynolds equation appropriate for such situation is presented in this article. If ε is the roughness length and pε the pressure field for that roughness, the existence of p0∈L2(0,T,H1(Ω)) such that pε→p0 strongly in L2(Ω×]0,T[) when ε→0 is proved. A homogenized problem for p0 is introduced together with a uniqueness result under remarkably weak assumptions, i.e., p0∈L2(0,T,H1(Ω)) and ∂p0/∂t∈L2(0,T,H−1(Ω)). Interestingly, no time derivatives appear in the auxiliary local problems, which are thus computed as in the steady state case. The role of the time variable is to parameterize the relative positions of the roughness shapes, and the homogenized coefficients result from averaging all such positions. To our knowledge, this is the first rigorous treatment of lubrication problems accounting for roughness on both surfaces.
A Novel Color Image Hiding Scheme Using Block Truncation	Coding
Authors: Hu Yu-Chen , Lin Min-Hui , Jiang Ji-Han 
Published: December 2024

In this paper, a novel color image hiding scheme that is capable of hiding two color secret images into a color host image is proposed. The secret images to be embedded are first compressed by the single bit map block truncation coding. DES encryption is then conducted on the compressed message before the secret image is embedded into the rightmost 3, 2, 3 bits of the R, G, B channels of every pixel in the host image. The experimental results show that our scheme provides an average secret image quality of 29.220 dB. In addition to the improved quality of both host images and retrieved secret images, our scheme further strengthens the protection of the secret images by conducting image compression and DES encryption on the secret image in advance. Therefore, our scheme not only extends the hiding capability of host images, but also is practical and secure.
New Metrics for Phylogenies
Authors: Bolikowski Łukasz , Gambin Anna 
Published: December 2024

In this paper we propose two new metrics defined on the space of phylogenetic trees. The problem of determining how distant two trees are from each other is crucial because many various methods exist for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from molecular data. These techniques (in fact often heuristics) applied to the same data set result in significantly different trees. We investigate the basic properties of new metrics and present efficient algorithms approximating the distance between two trees for partition metric. Computational experiments, which has been performed for large family of trees justify the applicability of our algorithms. The interesting application of our framework is the identification of the ancestral paralog position in the paralog families. We propose to select the set of genes (exemplars) that minimize the partition metric distance between gene tree and species tree.
Composition Theorem for Generalized Sum
Authors: Rabinovich Alexander 
Published: December 2024

Composition theorems are tools which reduce sentences about some compound structure to sentences about its parts. A seminal example of such a theorem is the Feferman-Vaught Theorem [3] which reduces the first-order theory of generalized products to the first order theory of its factors and the monadic second-order theory of index structure. Shelah [23] used the composition theorem for linear orders as one of the main tools for obtaining very strong decidability results for the monadic second-order theory of linear orders. The main technical contribution of our paper is (1) a definition of a generalized sum of structures and (2) a composition theorem for first-order logic over the generalized sum. One of our objectives is to emphasize the work-out of the composition method.
Codebook Partition Based Steganography without Member Restriction
Authors: Chiang Yung-Kuei , Tsai Piyu , Huang Feng-Long 
Published: December 2024

The practice of concealing secret messages into index-based images has generally suffered from problems of image quality degradation and hiding capacity restriction. A steganographic scheme using an improved codebook partition is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme partitions the codebook into different member sub-clusters in terms of their similarity between the codewords for increasing the hiding capacity and reducing the image distortion. Any size of a subcluster was allowed in the proposed scheme, so as to improve the traditional approaches in which the size of a sub-cluster was restricted to the power of two. As a result of this revised scheme, an increased hiding capacity and a reduction in image distortion are obtained, as indicated from experimental results. The average performance of the proposed scheme is superior to that of those standard methods.
