AbstractAquifer protection is essential for securing a sustainable supply of clean water. This study integrates an artificial neural network (ANN) model, identifying non-linear connections, with multivariate linear regression (MLR) analysis to improve predictions of aquifer protective capacity and assess vulnerability. Twelve vertical electrical soundings (VES) were conducted with a maximum electrode spacing of 250 m. Aquifer parameters derived from the VES dataset were analyzed using ANN to capture complex patterns. The ANN model, trained on historical data, learned the relationship between input variables and protective capacity. MLR analysis identified influential factors affecting vulnerability. Results reveal varying aquifer depths, with Umudime being the deepest and western parts having the shallowest depths. The resistivity map shows high values around Okorobi and Uhuala and low values in eastern to northeastern parts. Hydraulic conductivity and 3D subsurface models exhibit an inverse relationship with resistivity. Transmissivity and storativity maps exhibit similar patterns. MLR outperforms ANN in predicting resistivity, transmissivity, and storability, indicating high forecasting accuracy for aquifer protective capacity. Input parameters' contribution levels follow a specific order for different aquifer properties. R2 Value 0.0869, indicating a weak correlation between the predicted and actual values in ANN model while R2 Value 0.9775 in MLR model shows a strong correlation and much better performance than the ANN model. The results of the modeling suggest that both the ANN and MLR models have shown promising effectiveness and accuracy in predicting aquifer parameters, aiding decision-makers in implementing targeted protection measures, predicting aquifer parameters, providing insights for effective management strategies.
Statistical consulting guidelines for new researchers in psychiatry and mental health – beyond ChatGPT
Authors: Lovik Anikó , Dusseldorp Elise 
Published: November 2024

SUMMARY
Until recently, statistical consultants did not have to worry about being replaced by artificial intelligence. There was no statistical analogue to ‘Dr Google’ before ChatGPT arrived on the scene. Although ChatGPT (most of the time) adequately responds to basic queries such as the assumptions of different statistical tests or summarises relevant manuals on statistical software providing clear instructions with point-and-click software such as SPSS, there are many important aspects of statistical consulting that ChatGPT does not cover. This tutorial article is about these aspects: a summary of what statistical consulting is, its purpose and possible settings during the empirical research cycle, the role and responsibilities of the consultant and the client, how to ensure a good consulting experience, how to prepare for a consulting session, typical questions and more. The article was written for researchers who are considering contacting a statistician for the first time and aims to facilitate a good and fruitful consulting experience for all parties involved.
Teoretyczne podstawy badania stabilności politycznej
Authors: Perlikowski Łukasz 
Published: November 2024

Książka Teoretyczne podstawy badania stabilności politycznej powstała z potrzeby odsłonięcia znaczeń kryjących się za twierdzeniami dotyczącymi stabilności politycznej. Co dokładnie mamy na myśli, gdy mówimy o stabilnym systemie politycznym? Czy stabilność to wartość uniwersalna? Czy stabilny rząd z konieczności prowadzi do stabilności systemu politycznego? Czy bardziej stabilny jest ustrój, który nie podlega żadnym zmianom, czy może taki, który odznacza się wyraźną dynamiką zmian? Czy brak zakłóceń działania systemu politycznego jest zawsze wynikiem stabilności politycznej, czy może występować pomimo niestabilności i słabości systemu? Podstawowym celem książki jest pomoc w zrozumieniu skomplikowanej tematyki stabilności politycznej i w osiągnięciu precyzji w posługiwaniu się poszczególnymi kategoriami. Dla Czytelnika szczególnie wartościowe mogą okazać się partie dotyczące metodologii analizowania stabilności pod kątem konfiguracji podmiotowych i przedmiotowych elementów systemu. Oprócz wątku formalno-metodologicznego w książce uwzględniono również wniosek substancjalny, związany z obserwacją tzw. paradoksu stabilności, który należy uznać za najważniejsze osiągnięcie badania naukowego, najmocniej wychodzące naprzeciw powszechnym intuicjom.

Teoretyczne podstawy badania stabilności politycznej [Theoretical Foundations for the Study of Political Stability] was written out of the need to reveal the meanings behind claims about political stability. What exactly do we mean when we talk about a stable political system? Is stability a universal value? Does a stable government necessarily lead to a stable political system? Is a system that is not subject to any changes more stable, or perhaps one that is characterized by a clear dynamics of change? Is the lack of disruption in the functioning of the political system always the result of political stability, or can it occur despite the instability and weakness of the system? The primary goal of the book is to help understand the complex topic of political stability and achieve precision in using individual categories. The sections on the methodology of analyzing stability in terms of the configuration of subjective and objective elements of the system may be particularly valuable to the reader. In addition to the formal and methodological thread, the book also includes a substantive conclusion related to the observation of the so-called paradox of stability, which should be considered the most important achievement of scientific research, as it responds to common intuitions.
Production Planning Under Demand and Endogenous Supply Uncertainty
Authors: Hewitt Mike , Pantuso Giovanni 
Published: November 2024

We study the problem of determining how much finished goods inventory to source from different capacitated facilities in order to maximize profits resulting from sales of such inventory. We consider a problem wherein there is uncertainty in demand for finished goods inventory and production yields at facilities. Further, we consider that uncertainty in production yields is endogenous, as it depends on both the facilities where a product is produced and the volumes produced at those facilities. We model the problem as a two stage stochastic program and propose an exact, Benders-based algorithm for solving instances of the problem. We prove the correctness of the algorithm and with an extensive computational study demonstrate that it outperforms known benchmarks. Finally, we establish the value in modeling uncertainty in both demands and production yields. History: Accepted by Andrea Lodi, Area Editor for Design & Analysis of Algorithms–Discrete.

Introduction: Obesity, diabetes mellitus, and systemic arterial hypertension constitute the main chronic non-communicable diseases associated with inadequate nutrition. To help patients achieve lifestyle changes, an important step is to identify behavioral profiles. Aims: This study aimed to characterize the eating behavior of Brazilian adult patients with diabetes and hypertension and compare its domain scores between sex, age groups, and body mass index (BMI). Methods: The cross-sectional study assessed eating behavior domains in patients from the Diabetes and Hypertension Center of the Federal University of Pelotas using the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire. It also compared behavioral patterns between different groups. Results: A total of 97 volunteer patients were included, with the majority being elderly (60.82%) and female (61.86%). Cognitive Restraint had the highest score among the domains. Females scored higher in Emotional Eating (EE) than males (p<0.003). Adults had significantly higher scores in EE (p<0.001) and Uncontrolled Eating (UE) (p<0.010) domains compared to the elderly. Subjects with overweight scored high in EE (p=0.003) and UE (p=0.028) across the sample. Adults with overweight had a higher EE score (p=0.014), while adults with obesity had higher scores for both EE (p=0.036) and UE domains (p=0.041). Conclusion: Differences in domain scores based on sex, age group, and BMI were observed. Understanding the eating behavior of this population can be crucial for planning effective interventions to address diabetes and hypertension management.

Published: November 2024

A interseccionalidade surge como uma ferramenta valiosa para compreender e abordar os desafios de inclusão enfrentados na Educação Física. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as aulas de Educação Física para uma aluna negra diagnosticada com Transtorno do Espectro Autista de primeiro ano do ensino fundamental, relacionando com a vontade de uma Educação Física inclusiva. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa. Para realizar essa análise o presente trabalho se propôs a realizar entrevistas de caráter semi-estruturadas com os estagiários que atuaram com a aluna em questão, assim como o professor responsável pelo estágio e a professora de sala da turma da aluna. Os dados coletados foram então analisados, com a ferramenta de análise de conteúdo e organizado em três categorias: sentimentos em relação a aluna; planejamento das aulas; e relação autismo e pessoa negra. Foi utilizada a análise a partir da óptica interseccional a fim de identificar barreiras e facilitadores no processo de inclusão da aluna, assim como também suas necessidades específicas. Conclui-se que a inclusão deve ser um esforço coletivo e contínuo, envolvendo todos os atores da comunidade escolar e a implementação de políticas públicas que garantam a inclusão. A Educação Física pode ser uma ferramenta poderosa para a promoção da inclusão e da diferença na escola, desde que seja realizada com comprometimento.
On passivity-based trajectory tracking for robotic manipulators combining PD+ and Slotine-Li control
Authors: Lakatos Kristin , Lakatos Dominic , Wu Xuwei , Kotyczka Paul , Dietrich Alexander 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this paper, a tracking controller for robots is analyzed, which allows both the specification of the convergence rate of the tracking errors and the parameterization of a desired contact stiffness and damping. It is shown that the control approach can be interpreted as a generalization of the well-known PD+ and Slotine-Li controllers, combining the benefits of both approaches. Although mentioned in the literature before, no thorough theoretical and practical analysis of the aforementioned passivity-based control concept has been performed so far. In this work, the implications of the gains are discussed w.r.t. convergence and interaction properties, addressing possible tuning strategies. Finally, the performance of the controller is evaluated in terms of tracking and interaction experiments on a KUKA LWR IV+.

Abstract
This study aims to comprehensively characterize coal extracted from three active mines in northeastern Kazakhstan: Lenin, Saradyr, and Bogatyr. These mines exploit two Carboniferous coal-bearing formations, Dolyn and Karagandy. Dolyn, extracted by the Lenin underground mine at a depth of 700 m, contrasts with Karagandy, extracted at depths up to 260 m in Saradyr and Bogatyr. Six selected samples from the Lenin, Saradyr, and Bogatyr mines underwent various analyses, including proximate and ultimate analyses, elemental analyses (acid digestions with HCl + HNO3 + HF, ICP-MS), and determination of mineral matter contents (XRD and SEM-EDS). This research aimed to understand the mode of occurrence of minerals and elements, technological and environmental implications of the coal seams extracted from these mines. Results indicate low sulfur and high ash content in the organic matter of all samples. Quartz and kaolinite dominate, with minor euhedral pyrite present in all samples. Framboidal pyrite, iron oxides, and rare earth element (REE)-bearing minerals are exclusively found in Saradyr and Bogatyr samples. Quartz and kaolinite likely reached the peat swamp through detrital processes, while pyrite formation occurred through both syngenetic and epigenetic processes in the coal samples. Ratios like Ce

suggest REE deposition in anoxic hydrothermal water environments, possibly indicating a tuffaceous origin for the coal samples. Examining the elements’ mode of occurrence suggests their preferential association with mineral matter. Strong positive correlations among elements like Al, K, Na, Ti, Ba, Be, Ni, Cr, Co, Ga, Sc, V, As, Pb, Cu, Zn, and Zr, along with Eu and Sc of the REEs, suggest association with ash yield, consistent with kaolinite and accessory minerals. Comparative analysis of inorganic geochemical composition of coal worldwide reveals notable depletion of major, trace elements, and REEs in samples from all three mines, suggesting limited economic interest. Furthermore, coal samples containing trace elements pose minimal environmental impact.

Abstract
Controlling defects such as deformation in the weld joint and the residual or superfluous stresses due to tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding or arc welding is a major concern for many industries like aeronautical, automobiles, nuclear or atomic power plants, crude oil or fossil fuel industries where pipes are in use and circumferential welding is done. Arc welding is a metal joining process, and TIG welding is applied to many industrial sectors that require high-quality welding. Simulation has been done on single-pass TIG welding on the Flange pipe of SS316 to evaluate transient temperature, residual stresses, and distortion. First, a 3D model is developed and assembled in SolidWorks. Second, in an MSC Patran, preprocessing of the FE model is done. Finally, in MSC Marc, thermal and mechanical simulation is performed. Based on this simulation, the accuracy of welding of the flange–butt joint made of SS316 is validated. In this study, the information regarding simulation of temperature dispensation and residual or superfluous stresses is done on the flange–butt joint, and it found the stresses are compressive at the weld bead area, and along the transverse direction, stresses changed to the tensile. The experimental data show that the steep curve at 0.00 mm represents a maximum temperature near the weld path at approximately 2,352°C, and the slant curve shows the far away points from the weld path. Comparing it with FE analysis, the maximum temperature attained was around 2,539°C. An approximate deviation of 7.365% was observed. The results of the study will provide experimental and simulation analyses for the welding of pipes of stainless steel for the transportation of oil and gases in the petroleum industries.
Revocable policy-based chameleon hash using lattices
Authors: Klamti Jean Belo , Hasan Mohammed Anwarul 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
A chameleon hash function is a type of hash function that involves a trapdoor to help find collisions, i.e., it allows the rewriting of a message without modifying the hash. For some applications, it is important to have the feature of revoking the rewriting privilege of the trapdoor holder. In this paper, using lattice-based hard problems that are considered quantum-safe, we first introduce a lattice-based chameleon hash with an ephemeral trapdoor

and

RABE

Authors: Sweilam Nasser Hassan , Khater Khloud Ramadan , Asker Zafer Mohamed , Kareem Waleed Abdel 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This study presents a space–time variable-order fractional carbon nanotube (CNT) mathematical model. Fractional differential equations successfully describe the model and its physical and biological properties. The mathematical model simulates the mixed free convection flow of a nanofluid in porous space using single- and multi-walled CNTs. The heat transfer characteristics of the base fluid (human blood) are studied. The numerical solutions for the temperature and velocity fields were derived from the modified Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo derivative, and the model was very effective. The higher compact finite difference method is used to study the numerical technique. Stabilization is construed as a technique related to John Neumann’s stabilization analysis. Additionally, the truncation error was studied, and various graphs were used to present numerical results. The results in the tables and the numerical figures emphasize that the schemes attained from applying the submitted numerical methods are completely compatible with the exact solution.

Der Informationskrieg des Irans
Authors: Bazoobandi Sara 
Published: November 2024

Kurzfassung
Der iranische Informationskrieg ist in den zurückliegenden Jahrzehnten allgegenwärtiger und komplexer geworden. Er besteht aus einer Kombination von Strategien, die die Kontrolle des digitalen Raums, der Medien und der Diaspora umfassen. Ziel ist es, Einflussoperationen zur Manipulation des globalen Narrativs und zur Begrenzung des Informationsflusses durchzuführen. Die iranische Regierung hat sowohl im In- als auch im Ausland massiv in ausgeklügelte Methoden und Instrumente zur Durchführung des Informationskriegs investiert. Inspiriert durch die politische Ideologie des Staates, insbesondere dem Konzept des „Sieges durch Angst“, setzt die Regierung menschliche Emotionen institutionell als Strategie der Abschreckung in ihrem Informationskrieg gegen die politischen Dissidenten innerhalb und außerhalb des Landes ein. Dieser Beitrag analysiert vielschichtige Strategien dieser Form der iranischen Kriegführung, die im internationalen Umfeld verfolgt werden.
