Tendering for Procurement Contracts in Case of Uncertainty about a Bidimensional Bid Valuation Metric: A Decision Analytic Methodology
Authors: Hernández Mario Luis Chew , Rosas Leopoldo Viveros , Romero Verónica Velázquez , Brugada Guadalupe Bosques 
Published: May 2024

Introduction:
In some instances, when tendering for supplying goods to a purchaser,
the bidders know that bid evaluation is done in a multicriteria way but ignore the precise metric
used. This is the case, for example, of acquisitions by small and medium-sized businesses carried
out by inviting a handful of potential suppliers to advance a proposal for fulfilling some need and
informing them of criteria hurdle levels and worded statements of criteria preferred directions.

Method:
The uncertainty about bid assessment is compounded with that about competing bids,
making bid design increasingly difficult. This work presents a Decision Analysis-based methodology
for developing a model for bid preparation useful under said circumstances, aiming to take
advantage of the available knowledge of competitors’ capabilities and client’s preferences through
subjective probabilities.

Result:
A key feature of the methodology is the idea that the model of the bidder’s knowledge of
the client’s preferences for different criterion levels should separately consider the criterion type
and the likely size of its variation among bids. This allows basing the model on the assumption
that, to the client’s decision, a criterion becomes more important if the size of its variation among
bids grows, while it is rendered unimportant if it does not vary a lot among bids. After outlining
the general steps of the methodology, a simple, hypothetical case study is numerically worked out,
illustrating how the methodology is operationalized for a problem with two criteria and two levels.

Conclusion:
Finally, closing remarks on the potential practical usefulness of the presented
framework are provided.

Paleosecular variation analysis is a primary tool for characterizing
ancient geomagnetic behavior and its evolution through time. This study
presents a new high-quality directional dataset, paleosecular variation
of the Paleogene (PSVP), with and without correction for serial
correlation (SC), compiled from 1,667 sites from 45 different
localities from the Paleogene and late Cretaceous (84 – 23 Ma). The
dataset is used to study the variability, structure, and latitude
dependence of the geomagnetic field during that period by varying
selection criteria and PSV models. Modeled values for the equatorial
virtual geomagnetic pole (VGP) dispersion have over-lapping uncertainty
intervals within their uncertainty bounds between 8.3° and 18.6° 30 for
the past 250 Ma. We investigate the suitability of two descriptive
models of PSV, Model G-style quadratic fits and covariant GGP models,
and find that both styles of model fail to satisfactorily reproduce the
latitude dependent morphology of PSV, but suggest that estimates of the
equatorial VGP dispersion may still robustly characterize aspects
of Earth’s long-term field morphology. During this time where the PSV
behavior has not changed substantially, the reversal frequency has
varied widely. The lack of a clear relationship between PSV behavior
and reversal frequency is not trivially explained in the context of
published findings regarding numerical geodynamo simulations.

What Is the Influence of HIV Serostatus on HbA1c? A Prospective Analysis Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Authors: Daultrey Harriet , Oliver Nick S. , Wright Juliet , Levett Tom J. , Chakera Ali Jason 
Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is reported to be more common in people living with HIV (PLWH). Clinical guidelines recommend screening for diabetes in PLWH, but there is no agreed method due to studies reporting HbA1c is falsely low in PLWH. These studies were performed in the early HIV era when participants were taking older preparations of antiretroviral therapy that are rarely used today. We aimed to investigate whether HIV serostatus influences HbA1c.

RESEARCH DESIGNS AND METHODS
We conducted a prospective cohort study of PLWH and age- and sex-matched HIV-negative participants who were purposely recruited from clinics in Brighton, U.K. Each participant wore a Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for up to 10 days, had glucose measured during an oral glucose tolerance test, and fructosamine and paired HbA1c were measured. We performed regression analysis to assess the influence of HIV on HbA1c and used a separate model for CGM glucose, venous glucose, and fructosamine. In addition, we included predictor variables used in previous studies that explored HbA1c discrepancy.

RESULTS
We recruited 60 PLWH (90% men, 50% with T2D, mean ± SD age 57 ± 10.7 years, 100% undetectable viral load) and 48 people without HIV (92% men, 30% with T2D, mean age 57.7 ± 8.9 years). We found that HIV serostatus did not have a significant influence on HbA1c within the regression models.

CONCLUSIONS
We performed a comprehensive assessment of glycemia to assess whether HIV serostatus influences HbA1c. We did not find any strong evidence that HIV serostatus influenced HbA1c. The results of our study support incorporating HbA1c into routine clinical blood work in PLWH.

Published: May 2024

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is a type of fungus that comes from the endomycorrhizal group, these fungi have the ability to form symbiosis with almost 90% of higher plant species. Population and diversity of AMF are influenced by biotic factors and abiotic factors. This research aims to determine the differences in population, diversity and dominant types of AMF in the rhizosphere of pepper planted in monoculture and pepper in polyculture. The soil samples were taking from monoculture and polyculture pepper plantations in Air Naningan District, Tanggamus Regency. The AMF population was tested using the One way Annova test. Culture trapping was done using a factorial treatment with the first factor being the origin of the soil sample (K) and the second actor being the type of host plant (T). Treatments design used was randomize design (CRD). The results showed that the AMF population in polyculture pepper plantation soil samples was higher than monoculture pepper, based on the Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index, AMF diversity in monoculture pepper and coffee intercropping pepper plantations was higher than in cocoa intercropping pepper plantations, and the type of AMF was dominant. from the results of trapping culture with monoculture pepper garden soil samples, namely spores of the species code S7, in samples of coffee intercropping pepper plantations the code S7 is dominant, while in cocoa intercropping pepper plantations it is dominated by code S6. Keywords: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, diversity, population.
Intentional Author as a Subject of Virtual Communication (Content of Corporate Websites News)
Authors: Kim L. G. , Ustinova M. V. 
Published: May 2024

This study explores the “image of the virtual intentional author” in the news discourse of corporate websites. A comparative analysis of materials from corporate websites of Kemerovo State University and Siberian Coal and Energy Company is conducted. Subjective, predicate-actant, and locative-temporal components are identified. Typical and specific semantic components are named. The typical shared components include the following meanings: “I am a significant subject of the Russian space”; “I represent a collective of professionals”; “I engage in volunteer and charitable activities”. Each of the considered organizations’ intentional author image is characterized by specific features. The intentional author of the university’s news content realizes the following modal meanings: “I am not only a leading university in the region but also part of global rankings, serving as a center for scientific, social, volunteer activities, etc. in the region”, thus, the virtual author communicates the intention to present the university as a significant subject of the Russian educational space. The intentional author of the energy company’s news content conveys meanings such as: “I am the best production organization”; “I am competitive”; “I am socially oriented”; “I interact with authorities and public organizations”.
Against level-3-only analyses in corpus linguistics
Authors: Gries Stefan Th. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In the last few decades, much work in corpus linguistics has attempted to discover, and then interpret, differences in the frequencies of use of linguistic elements (words, patterns, constructions, discourse features, etc.). It is probably fair to say that such studies were particularly frequent in (i) learner corpus research, (ii) corpus-based varieties research, and (iii) sociolinguistically motivated studies. For instance, many studies have discussed the differences in how often certain elements are used (i) in corpus data from native speakers vs. corpus data from learner from different L1 backgrounds, (ii) in corpora representing different inner- and outer-circle varieties, or (iii) by speakers in corpora representing people of different gender or sexual identities.
This paper will make the admittedly bold claim that any such study can in fact by definition unable to ‘prove’ what is often their main points, namely that the distributional differences found are in fact due to the one hypothesized explanatory variable(s) of L1, VARIETY, or, e.g., GENDER even when the distributional differences are significant and come with a decent effect size. To substantiate this claim, I will discuss some terminology from the family of methods known as multi-level modeling, namely the distinction between level-1, level-2, ... level-n variables and its relevance for many corpus studies. Second, I will then demonstrate how studies using only the above kinds of variables cannot distinguish the effect of their favored predictors from the effect of local/contextual level-1 variables. Third, in discussing this, I will exemplify how such effects need to be explored quantitatively instead.
Mapping shared lexical bundles onto rhetorical moves in nursing research articles: A comparative study of paradigmatic variation
Authors: Yang Mei 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Previous studies have identified frequent lexical bundles associated with qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research paradigms. These paradigmatic investigations of lexical bundles conducted thus far seem to have two limitations. One is that they have primarily concentrated on distinctive lexical bundles, without much analysis of the shared bundles in qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research paradigms. Another shortcoming is that they tend not to explore in which contexts lexical bundles are likely to occur. These two problems deserve attention, as shared bundles are also frequently used to facilitate fluent linguistic production and analysing lexical bundles in their surrounding contexts can help reveal their specific textual meanings. To address these two limitations, this study seeks to link shared lexical bundles with rhetorical moves based on a corpus consisting of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods nursing research articles. The findings of this study show that in certain move-steps, shared lexical bundles have distinctive discourse functions in mixed methods research. Meanwhile, the findings also show that there are move-steps where shared lexical bundles have similar discourse functions in two or three research paradigms. Revealing shared lexical bundles’ discourse functions in specific contexts may enable learners to know where to use the bundles in a text.

Authors: Ayed Rashed Enas Falah , Mosa Manal Omar 
Published: May 2024

This study aims at determining the effectiveness of using metacognitive feedback through video-based learning for teaching turn taking and conversation management for second grade university students . In order to achieve this aim three hypotheses are formulated :
1-The university students have a higher level of metacognitive feedback awareness.
2-There is no significant difference in the metacognitive feedback awareness of second-grade university students based on their locality.
3-There is no statistically significant difference of video-based learning on teaching Turn-taking for university student .
An achievement test is constructed and exposed to a jury of specialist for the purpose of ascertaining its face validity and coefficient formula is applied to calculate the inter scorer reliability . The sample of the study consist of one hundred student selected from second grade from educational for humanities sciences during the academic year 2022-2023 . The sample is divided into two groups A and B . Both groups are equalized in the variables of parents ' academic level and mid-year exam. The experimental design of the study involves two groups ; the control group and the experiment group. The experiment started on . Both groups are taught from unit 7 to unit 13 by the researcher herself The collected data have been analyzed by using t-test formula. Result show the following :

There are no significance differences between the achievement of the control group in the pre-test and that of the post-test.
There is significance differences between the achievement of the experimental group in pre-test and that of the post–test.
There is significance differences between the post –test scores of the experimental group and those of the control group , and in the favour of the experimental one .

Hence, the first hypothesis is accepted, whereas the second and third ones are rejected. This indicates that metacognitive feedback through video–based learning has an effective role in students' achievement in teaching turn–taking and conversation management. In light of the study findings , a number of recommendations and suggestions are put forward.

There are few experimental studies on rotating detonation engines (RDEs) with liquid propellants. This study reveals the static thrust performance of a cylindrical RDE with ethanol and liquid nitrous oxide as propellants under atmospheric pressure. This RDE had an inner diameter of 40 mm, a maximum combustor length of 230 mm, a nozzle contraction ratio of 1.7, and a nozzle expansion ratio of 9.1. Nineteen experiments were conducted at total mass flow rates of [Formula: see text], mixture ratios of 3.6–5.9, and combustion pressures of 0.35–0.46 MPa, resulting in a maximum detonation velocity of [Formula: see text] (approximately 80% of the theoretical detonation velocity, [Formula: see text]), maximum thrust at sea level of 294 N, and maximum specific impulse at sea level of 148 s. In addition, the maximum characteristic exhaust velocity, [Formula: see text], was [Formula: see text], which was 99% of the theoretical value. The characteristic length of the combustion chamber at this time was 0.15 m. Since conventional rocket combustion requires 1.57 m to achieve the same [Formula: see text] efficiency, this study shows that detonation combustion can reduce the combustor size by 88%.
Conceito de "Partilha do Sensível" e as suas Implicações no que Concerne a Atividade Política em Jacques Rancière
Authors: Alves Teixeira Michelly 
Published: May 2024

Este trabalho visa apresentar o sentido de partilha do sensível na teoria de Jacques Rancière. Com o objetivo de compreendermos a gênese da noção de partilha do sensível – sobretudo, neste momento em particular –, partiremos da definição ranciereana de subjetivação política, que é inerente à distribuição de lugares promovida por instâncias de dominação. Afinal, para o autor, a política não é distribuição de poder. A partilha do sensível seria um processo político e policial que ora é mediada por instâncias de conflito, ora é intercedida por instâncias de poder; e isto tende a afetar a maneira como os sujeitos ocupam a comunidade sensível ao verificar as formas como a realidade lhes é tomada e ordenada seguindo a ordem da dominação.

Published: May 2024

Background: Gestational diabetes is an increased sensitivity to carbohydrates that affects pregnant women. Pregnancy-related gestational diabetes typically manifests between 24 and 36 weeks of gestation and goes away at delivery. The potential that pregnant women with gestational diabetes may continue to have the disease even after giving delivery is not disproved, nevertheless..Objective: The purpose of this study is to use FINDRISC to describe the risk level of diabetes during pregnancy.Methods: 50 pregnant women who participated in this cross-sectional study served as responders. By responding to a survey, found at https://ee.kobotoolbox.org/x/7NcWHrV1, the research was completed. and then an evaluation of diabetes, called FINDRISC. FINDRISC is frequently used for early diabetes screening to estimate a person's risk of developing diabetes. The data was processed using SPSS 25.0 after the survey's respondents completed it.Results: Out of 50 respondents, it was determined that 29 people fall into the very low risk category, 15 people fall into the low risk category, and 6 people go into the suspected risk category because they had a FINDRISC score of nine or above. Out of the six individuals with a probable risk of developing diabetes, three (50%) had high blood sugar levels, four (67%) had excess BMT and obesity, abdomen circumference >80 cm (100%), physical activity 4 days per week (67%) and had a family history (67%).Conclusion: Out of 50 respondents, 29 were classified as having a very low risk of developing diabetes, 15 as having a low risk, and 6 as having a suspected high risk of developing diabetes, according to the study's findings.
