A hybrid decision-making conceptual framework based on generalized information quality under neutrosophic evidence theory: a comparative analysis
Authors: Paraskevas Antonios , Madas Michael 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Simulating uncertainty for dealing with actual events is one of Artificial Intelligence's key difficulties and challenges. The ultimate objective for decision-makers is to manage uncertainty, particularly in indeterminate scenarios when it is not the case that the solution of the problem can be expressed with true or false values. As a result, new techniques to facilitate the interpretation of indeterminacy are currently under development. Neutrosophic logic (NL), which addresses the concept of neutralities, extends classic logic, fuzzy logic, paraconsistent logic, intuitionistic logic, and so on. The single-valued neutrosophic set (SVN) is a subclass of neutrosophic sets that has recently been presented. Solving multicriteria decision-making problems is an essential use case for SVNs to be applied. The research objectives of the article are twofold. First, we examine the potential of utilizing single-valued neutrophilic sets in a more efficient manner to address the issue of multicriteria decision-making. Within this framework, our aim is to explore and extend the concept of information quality as an uncertainty measure by comparing it to neutrosophic Dempster–Shafer (D–S) evidence theory in the context of decision-making. As a proposed solution to the aforementioned research objectives, this manuscript suggests and implements a novel conceptual framework for determining and quantifying the similarity measure between SVNSs in a multicriteria decision-making context under the principles of D–S evidence theory. Finally, illustrative case studies are given to support the logic and practicality of the suggested methodology compared to current methodologies.
How an Agile Software Process Increases Developers’ Job Satisfaction: A Stress Perspective Based on the Effort-Reward-Imbalance Model

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Human resource factors such as job stress and job satisfaction are important topics in both the science and practice of software development. However, existing studies use different conceptualizations of stress. In this paper, a new theoretical perspective on stress, the effort-reward imbalance framework, is presented and empirically investigated. According to this framework, stress results from an imbalance between perceived effort and reward. A moderated mediation model is proposed that conceptualizes stress as a mediator in explaining the relationship between agility (measured by eight agile practices) (independent variable) and developers' job satisfaction (dependent variable). In addition, the theoretical model proposes that overcommitment, a personality trait, moderates the relationship between agility and stress. Based on a sample of N = 178 software developers in Austria, the data confirm the model. The results show that agility indirectly increases job satisfaction via reduced stress perceptions. There was no significant direct effect of agility on job satisfaction. However, looking specifically at the effort and reward components, a stress-reducing effect of agility and a consequent satisfaction-enhancing effect were observed, primarily because the use of an agile approach increases developers' reward perceptions. Furthermore, it was found that the agile practices of requirements change and customer relation have a stress-increasing effect, while the other six practices (pair programming, continuous integration, refactoring, unit testing, collective ownership, coding standards) have a stress-reducing effect. However, since the results show that agility has an overall stress-reducing effect, this means that the unfavorable influence of requirements change and customer relationship on stress is overcompensated by the other six practices, predominantly via their positive influence on reward perceptions. Finally, the results show that developers with high levels of overcommitment experience a reduced benefit from agility.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this paper, a graphene oxide (GO) composite film-coated humidity sensor is proposed based on the hollow core fiber (HCF). A segment of the HCF is spliced between two segments of the single-mode fiber (SMF). The relative humidity (RH) sensing characteristics of the sensor are experimentally investigated by observing the intensity shift of resonant dips in the transmission spectrum, which shows the GO composite film-coated HCF has the good stability in the measurement of humidity. The maximum humidity sensitivity of 0.12 dB/%RH is obtained in the RH range of 30%–78%. The proposed sensor has the advantages of the simple structure, easy fabrication, good stability, and high performance, which can be applied to marine climate detection, tunnel air humidity detection, agricultural testing, and other fields.

Abstract
In this work, a triple-junction tandem solar cell (TSC) has been designed in order to increase the photovoltaic (PV) performance through utilizing maximum light photons. To create three junctions in this work three subcells have been designed and optimized at its best PV performance. The optimization of all the three subcells have been done through the various variations in the absorber layer like thickness and bulk defect density (BDD). It has been seen that best PV parameters in the top middle and bottom cell are maximum at high thickness and low BDD. For the designing of triple junction tandem configuration, two filtered spectrums (FS1 and FS2) have been calculated for the proper current matching in the three subcells. The optimized triple-junction TSC demonstrates significantly enhanced PV parameters, including high open-circuit voltage (VOC- 2.750), short-circuit current density (JSC- 16.45 mA/cm2), fill factor (FF- 83.40%), and power conversion efficiency (PCE- 37.74%). The strategy of using filtered spectrums and exact design optimization provides a potential road to the next generation of high-efficiency tandem solar cells, furthering the field of renewable energy solutions.

Abstract
Amidst the ever-growing interest in high-mass-loading Li battery electrodes, a persistent challenge has been the insufficient continuity of their ion/electron conduction pathways. Here, we propose cellulose elementary fibrils (CEFs) as a class of deagglomerated binder for high-mass-loading electrodes. Derived from natural wood, CEF represents the most fundamental unit of cellulose with nanoscale diameter. The preparation of the CEFs involves the modulation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding by the treatment with a proton acceptor and a hydrotropic agent. This elementary deagglomeration of the cellulose fibers increases surface area and anionic charge density, thus promoting uniform dispersion with carbon conductive additives and suppressing interfacial side reactions at electrodes. Consequently, a homogeneous redox reaction is achieved throughout the electrodes. The resulting CEF-based cathode (overlithiated layered oxide (OLO) is chosen as a benchmark electrode active material) exhibits a high areal-mass-loading (50 mg cm–2, equivalent to an areal capacity of 12.5 mAh cm–2) and a high specific energy density (445.4 Wh kg–1) of a cell, which far exceeds those of previously reported OLO cathodes. This study highlights the viability of the deagglomerated binder in enabling sustainable high-mass-loading electrodes that are difficult to achieve with conventional synthetic polymer binders.
Hauora: relational wellbeing of Māori community support workers
Authors: Nicholson Amber , Hurd Fiona , Ravenswood Katherine 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
There has been growing global interest in wellbeing over recent decades, yet what constitutes wellbeing depends on cultural and philosophical traditions, as well as worldview and knowledge systems. Our article offers an Indigenous Māori view on hauora – relational wellbeing – which emanates from the spiritual essence and ethic of hau, and traverses ecological, social, and economic spheres. We use the case study of Māori community support workers (CSWs), who, in our study, found that their hauora was affected by discrimination, racism, and a lack of cultural awareness and support from employers. Our participants, centred mostly within corporate community support providers, found that Western models of care and support did not allow for the expression of tikanga Māori, which limited their options for providing culturally appropriate care. Also prevalent was the lack of recognition by employers and funders of the importance of culture and culturally appropriate care. The implications of acknowledging hauora within Aotearoa New Zealand’s wellbeing frameworks are then examined, showing that Māori notions of wellbeing have the potential to deliver better outcomes not only for Māori but for all New Zealanders. In this article, we provide some recommendations and reflections on how organisations can prioritise and embed the cultural wellbeing of Māori CSWs, their whānau and their clients in the workplace.
In From the Cold: Notes on Sixteenth-Century English Catholic History
Authors: Domínguez Freddy Cristóbal 
Published: January 2025

AbstractEnglish Catholic history continues to tread new ground, revisit old theories, and draw together theoretical and geographical frameworks. However, it continues to struggle to be accepted as part of the “mainstream” narrative of English history. In this review essay, I explore three key areas of growth related to the study of sixteenth-century English Catholicism: returning Catholics to the “high politics” of England; a renewed emphasis on gender, particularly the role of religious women; and an international/transnational orientation that reaffirms the close ties between Britain and the Continent. Recently reviewed works include Lillian Lodine-Chaffey, A Weak Woman in a Strong Battle: Women and Public Execution in Early Modern England (2022); Michael Questier, Catholics and Treason: Martyrology, Memory, and Politics in the Post-Reformation (2022); Susan Cogan, Catholic Social Networks in Early Modern England (2021); Javier Burguillo and María José Vega, eds., Épica y conflicto religioso en el siglo XVI: Anglicanismo y luteranismo desde el imaginario hispánico, (2021); Cormac Begadon and James E.

No time to die: Radiocarbon chronology of the funerary monument of El Amarejo 1 and burial practices during the Bronze Age in the Southern Meseta, Spain
Authors: García Atiénzar Gabriel , Salazar-García Domingo C , Castillo Vizcaíno Laura , Rodríguez Cano José Vicente 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper presents the radiocarbon context of the megalithic monument El Amarejo 1, situated in the corridor of Almansa in the southern region of La Meseta in Spain. The monument was constructed using small and medium-sized masonry, comprising a short corridor and two separate chambers in which burials were carried out. The results of the 14C analyses of each of the 11 individuals documented indicate that the monument was in use between approximately 1900 and 1200 cal BC. Bayesian modeling of the radiocarbon dates allows for the proposition of hypotheses regarding the construction, utilisation dynamics, and abandonment of the monument. The combination of these new data with the analysis of the 14C dating of other burials from the Bronze Age of La Mancha reveals a complex and heterogeneous panorama. The evidence presented and analyzed in this paper suggests that burial practices associated with fortified settlements and their domestic areas shared space and time with the construction of megalithic monuments located near settlements.

AbstractThe desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) is a destructive migratory pest, posing great threat to over 60 countries globally. In the backdrop of climate change, the habitat suitability of desert locusts is poised to undergo alterations. Hence, investigating the shifting dynamics of desert locust habitats holds profound significance in ensuring global agricultural resilience and food security. In this study, we combined the maximum entropy modelling and geographic information system technology to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the impact of climate change on the distribution patterns and habitat adaptability of desert locusts. The results indicate that the suitable areas for desert locusts (0.2976 × 108 km2) are concentrated in northern Africa and southwestern Asia, accounting for 19.97% of the total global land area. Key environmental variables affecting the desert locust distribution include temperature annual range, mean temperature of the coldest quarter, average temperature of February, and precipitation of the driest month. Under the SSP1–2.6 and SSP5–8.5 climate scenarios, potential suitable areas for desert locusts are estimated to increase from 2030 (2021–2040) to 2090 (2081–2100). By 2090, highly suitable areas for SSP1–2.6 and SSP5–8.5 are projected to be 0.0606 × 108 and 0.0891 × 108 km2, respectively, reflecting an expansion of 1.84 and 2.77% compared to existing ones. These research findings provide a theoretical basis for adopting prevention and control strategies for desert locusts.
A generalist vector-transmitted parasite exhibits population genetic structure among host genera

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Generalist parasites experience selective pressures from the various host species they infect. However, it is unclear if parasite transmission among host species precludes the establishment of host-specific adaptations and population genetic structure. We assessed the population genetic structure of the vector-transmitted avian haemosporidian parasite Haemoproteus majoris (lineage WW2; n = 34 infections) in a single site in southern Sweden among 10 of its host species. The 2 best-sampled host genera were Phylloscopus (2 species, n = 15 infections) and Sylvia (4 species, n = 15). We designed a sequence capture protocol to isolate 1.13 Mbp (ca. 5%) of the parasite genome and identified 1399 variable sites among the sequenced infections. In a principal components analysis, infections of Phylloscopus and Sylvia species mostly separated along the first 2 principal components. Sites with the highest FST values between the genera were found in genes that have mostly not been implicated in infection pathways, but several sites code for amino acid changes. An analysis of molecular variance confirmed significant variation among host genera, but not among host species within genera. The distribution of Tajima’s D among sequenced loci was negatively skewed, plausibly reflecting a history of bottleneck followed by population expansion. Tajima’s D was lower in infections of Phylloscopus than Sylvia, plausibly because WW2 began infecting Phylloscopus hosts after it was already a parasite of Sylvia hosts. Our results provide evidence of vector-transmitted parasite population differentiation among host species in a single location. Future work should focus on identifying the mechanisms underlying this genetic population structure.
A multi-modal learning method for pick-and-place task based on human demonstration

Published: January 2025

AbstractRobot pick-and-place for unknown objects is still a very challenging research topic. This paper proposes a multi-modal learning method for robot one-shot imitation of pick-and-place tasks. This method aims to enhance the generality of industrial robots while reducing the amount of data and training costs the one-shot imitation method relies on. The method first categorizes human demonstration videos into different tasks, and these tasks are classified into six types to symbolize as many types of pick-and-place tasks as possible. Second, the method generates multi-modal prompts and finally predicts the action of the robot and completes the symbolic pick-and-place task in industrial production. A carefully curated dataset is created to complement the method. The dataset consists of human demonstration videos and instance images focused on real-world scenes and industrial tasks, which fosters adaptable and efficient learning. Experimental results demonstrate favorable success rates and loss results both in simulation environments and real-world experiments, confirming its effectiveness and practicality.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this paper, the model of bisexual branching processes affected by viral infectivity and with random control functions in independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random environments is established and the Markov property is given firstly. Then the relations of the probability generating functions of this model are studied, and some sufficient conditions for process extinction under common mating functions are presented. Finally, the limiting behaviors of the considered model after proper normalization, such as the sufficient conditions for the convergence in L1 and L2 and almost everywhere convergence, are investigated under the condition that the random control functions are super additive.
Epidemiological and osteoarticular involvement sites’ characteristics of multiple osteoarticular tuberculosis: a scoping review
Authors: Zhou Jian , Yang Xuanjie , Hu Yong , Li Shijun 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Multiple osteoarticular tuberculosis (MOT) represents an uncommon yet severe form of tuberculosis, characterized by a lack of systematic analysis and comprehension. Our objective was to delineate MOT’s epidemiological characteristics and establish a scientific foundation for prevention and treatment. We conducted searches across eight databases to identify relevant articles. Pearson’s chi-square test (Fisher’s exact test) and Bonferroni method were employed to assess osteoarticular involvement among patients of varying age and gender (α = 0.05). The study comprised 98 articles, encompassing 151 cases from 22 countries, with China and India collectively contributing 67.55% of cases. MOT predominantly affected individuals aged 0–30 years (58.94%). Pulmonary tuberculosis was evident in 16.55% of cases, with spinal involvement prevalent (57.62%). Significant differences were noted in trunk, spine, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae involvement, as well as type I lesions across age groups, increasing with age. Moreover, significant differences were observed in upper limb bone involvement and type II lesions across age groups, decreasing with age. Gender differences were not significant. MOT primarily manifests in China and India, predominantly among younger individuals, indicating age-related variations in osteoarticular involvement. Enhanced clinical awareness is crucial for accurate MOT diagnosis, mitigating missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses.
Mapping the evidence of self-compassion in caregiver wellbeing for caregivers of persons with neurodegenerative disease: A scoping review
Authors: Lero Christi M. , Park Soobin , Mroz Emily L. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objectives
Caregivers of those with neurodegenerative disease (ND) manage complex symptoms which impact their wellbeing. Self-compassion can promote maintenance of wellbeing during challenging experiences, including caregiving. Little guidance exists for observationally studying self-compassion or targeted interventions for this population. Our objective was to complete a scoping review of research describing self-compassion in the context of caregiver wellbeing of caregivers of those living with ND.

Methods
Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, 3 online databases identified 350 peer-reviewed articles, 18 of which were included in this study. Eligibility included being written in English, targeting caregivers of those living with ND, and examination of self-compassion. Articles were organized by the incorporation or characterization of self-compassion in the study design.

Results
Alzheimer’s disease predominated study samples of care recipients. Across study types self-compassion appeared as a theoretical concept, emerging theme, variable associated with other outcomes, and main outcome variable. Self-compassion is frequently measured using the Self-Compassion Scale, full or short form .

Significance of results
The study of self-compassion with caregivers of individuals living with ND is growing. Current literature is somewhat unfocussed, leading to gaps in understanding conceptualization to achieve maximum intervention benefits. Clarifying the role of self-compassion in caregiver wellbeing will provide a lens through which non-pharmacologic, psychotherapeutic, and behavioral intervention development may be framed to reduce negative psychological outcomes. The most frequently represented ND is Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia, obscuring other NDs like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and others.
