A Machine Learning Method to improve Supplier Delivery Appointments in Supply Chain Industries
Authors: Palakshappa Anitha , Maradithaya Sumana , V Charunayana 
Published: January 2025

Goal: The paper aims at the customization of supplier schedules upon the priority of key articles. It aims at the prediction of an appointment to a supplier based on the key aspects. The objective of this study is to investigate whether the machine learning algorithms can be used to predict the delivery dates of the products based on the trained data.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The prediction method uses a machine learning approach. Prediction algorithms namely, Logistic Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), and Random Forest (RF) are used for forecasting. The appointment is assigned to a supplier based on the delivery date of a previous supplier order. If a supplier requests a prior date, then the average sales and opening stock of the products is verified and the prior date of n-3 will be assigned (‘n’ represents the assigned days of delivery).
Results: Clustering is used to visualize the group of products based on the days of delivery and quantity ordered. This helps in creating the floor space for the on-time delivery of fast-moving products and reducing the manual process for the reordering team. The present work can be used for the procurement of key articles for the fulfillment of customer demands. The combination of K-Means with prediction and classification is giving lesser expected delivery date using RF compared to LR and KNN method.
Limitations: The limitation of the current work is that it is applicable for small scale industries in the developing countries. Also deployment of the application in agricultural sectors allow for greater transparency and accountability in the supply chain.
Practical Implications: Further, the work will also provide recommendations for retail companies looking to implement machine learning algorithms in their supply chain management.
Originality/ Value: The case study developed a model for Retail industries to manage the supplier delivery appointments.

Published: January 2025

Hatsumōde is the tradition of visiting Buddhist or Shinto shrines at the beginning of the year in Japan. The tradition lasts for three days, starting at 00:00 on January 1 and ending at 23:59 on January 3. The purpose is to pray to the gods for good luck in the coming year. The purpose of this research is to understand the meaning of each stage, the tools used, and the decorations at the shrine during Hatsumōde. This research uses descriptive qualitative method with literature data collection technique. Data were obtained from YouTube videos, journals, websites, and personal documentation, which are related to Hatsumōde. The results of this study show that there are certain stages in Hatsumōde, which begin with “misogi” and end with taking omikuji. In Hatsumōde, Japanese people use a 5 yen coin that means “good fortune”. There are also decorations at the shrine, namely shimenawa, shide, and ema.
Multimodal language processing in school-aged Mandarin-speaking children: the role of beat gesture in enhancing memory for discourse information
Authors: Yan Mengzhu , Xiong Tianqi 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Communication is typically multimodal, meaning that communication involves the utilization of various cues from different modalities. While spoken words in the auditory modality primarily convey semantic information, gestures from the visual modality complement and enhance the communication process. However, the role of visual cues, specifically beat gestures, a type of non-verbal co-speech gesture used to emphasize certain information, in language processing remains largely underexplored. The present study, using a memory task where 90 Mandarin-speaking schoolchildren aged 6–9 viewed stories individually and were later asked about what happened in the stories, investigates the role of beat gestures in enhancing the memory for discourse information in Mandarin. The results show that words with beat gestures were generally recalled better for children of all grades, indicating that by age 6, Mandarin children have already acquired the ability to utilize beat gestures to encode a discourse. This study contributes significantly to our limited understanding of the significance of visual cues in multimodal language processing.
School built environment and children’s health: a scientometric analysis
Authors: Zhang Mingxin , Meng Xue 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The school built environment is closely related to children’s health, and research on this topic is increasing. However, bibliometric analyses seeking to provide a comprehensive understanding of the research landscape and key themes in the field are lacking. This study comprehensively explored the global trends and research hotspots on the associations between school built environment and children’s health. We used a scientometric analysis to review the research progress. The temporal distribution of publications, scientific collaborations, research hotspots, research frontiers, and co-citations over the past 30 years were analyzed. The results show that the number of publications in this field rose significantly between 1987 and 2025, with research hotspots focusing on physical activity, performance, behavior, perception, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality. Environmental themes related to children’s health fall into four main groups: the built environment related to children’s activities, intelligent learning environments, indoor environments and interiors, and natural environments. Health outcomes and measures that reflect physiological, psychological, cognitive, behavioral, and physical factors are discussed. This study provides a broad understanding of research issues and trends related to the school built environment and children’s health.
Pour une approche sémiotique de la traduction de la chanson: l’exemple de La chanson des vieux amants de Jacques Brel et de son adaptation turque Şarap Mevsimi
Authors: Öztürk Kasar Sündüz 
Published: January 2025

Résumé
Dans cet article, nous interrogeons la traduction interlinguistique de la chanson du point de vue de la sémiotique de la traduction. Notre approche se nourrit des travaux de l’École sémiotique de Paris ainsi que des travaux faits sur la traduction de la musique en traductologie. Nous présentons, dans cette étude, une analyse sur le corpus constitué de La chanson des vieux amants de Jacques Brel et de sa version turque intitulée Şarap Mevsimi [Saison du vin] (2012) interprétée par la chanteuse Funda Arar. Notre étude contient deux volets: Le premier volet concerne l’évaluation musicale de la chanson originale et sa comparaison avec la version traduite du point de vue des instruments utilisés, du tempo, des dynamiques musicales, de la mesure et de l’orientation musicale. Quant au second volet, il consiste d’abord en l’étude sémantique et thématique des paroles de la chanson de Brel, puis en celle de la version turque afin de les comparer sur trois éléments d’analyse: titre, refrain et isotopie fondatrice de l’univers sémiotique du chant. Nous concluons en interprétant les changements survenus tant dans la composante musicale que dans la composante sémantique de l’adaptation turque selon les nouvelles significations et valeurs qu’ils actualisent dans le contexte d’arrivée.
Drawn to Biology
Authors: Wiedemeier Allison Merritt Dennings , Tolson Kim Marie 
Published: January 2025

Biology and art have been linked throughout history. Early scientists, such as Leonardo de Vinci and John James Audubon, used sketches and painting to document their findings. Even early hominids left evidence of their world through cave art. Histology, the microscopic study of tissues and cells, relies on defining shape and spatial relationships between landmarks within cells and tissues. When looking at a microscopic slide a scientist focuses on form, structure, and complex relationships, while an artist focuses on patterns, colors, and intricate designs. To a biologist, a slide of stained cartilage displays as a tissue with small groups of cells, but to an artist it may resemble islands in a blue ocean. Learning how to use artistic details in combination with scientific concepts can help students better characterize and recognize tissues.
Our project brings together two populations of college students to investigate the use of drawing as a learning tool. Senior biology majors received instruction on how to draw, paint, and recognize shape, form, and color from senior-level art students. Our approach provides an opportunity for students to collaborate with each other and with community members through the production of an interactive display for the University of Louisiana Monroe’s (ULM) Museum of Natural History. Through metacognitive student responses, we propose that the inclusion of art peer instruction increases student performance.

Interpretation of Levinas in Marco Maria Olivetti’s Philosophy
Authors: Šerpytytė Rita 
Published: January 2025

This article analyses the original interpretation of Emmanuel Levinas’s philosophy by one of the most prominent Italian philosophers of the 20th century, Marco Maria Olivetti. It shows that the key point that Olivetti ascribes to Levinas’s philosophical position is Levinas’s notion of subjectivity. The article analyses how Olivetti’s exploration of Levinas’s notion of the subject anticipates the challenges that only twenty-first-century philosophy has accepted. It shows that the basis of Olivetti’s insightful and original interpretation of Levinas lies in a certain transition of Levinas’s philosophy to a different level than that envisaged by Western modern thought. For Olivetti, it is particularly important to stress that the Levinasian different subject presented in Autrement qu’être is described as “not a logical but an ethical subject”, which implies a passage to another level, a transcending, a transcendence. But it is not only the transcendence of the logical level that we are dealing with. Rather, this transcendence of the formal logical level, which occurs not only in Autrement qu’être but already in Totalité et infini, becomes a challenge to the logical level, namely in discourse. The article shows how the Levinasian notion of the subject correlates with the contemporary interpretation of subjectivity, since the ego is thought to be the one who says “ego”.

Authors: Freire Fausto R. , Mora Karla E. 
Published: January 2025

The objective of the research was to design and simulate a stabilization system for attitude control of CubeSat nanosatellites in LEO orbit. The electronic system was inside the mechanical system, designed in Proteus. The mechanical system was designed in SolidWorks, then a CubeSat 3U CAD was downloaded for simulation and finally, all CAD designs were assembled. These data were used for the analysis of the spatial environmental perturbations of aerodynamic drag, gradient, gravity and magnetic field. Attitude representation was done by analyzing the Euler, Poisson and Quaternions equations. Then, a fuzzy logic control was created with two cases for automatic control. The analysis and virtual reality simulation revealed the correct attitude control on the CubeSat 3U nanosatellite, considering the perturbations of the space environment and a new 25° orientation of each axis.

AbstractBackgroundFood addiction and an impulsive personality can increase overeating, which can lead to weight gain. The amygdala and nucleus accumbens (NAcc) are critical for regulating obesogenic behaviour. However, whether the amygdala or the NAcc acts as the neural basis for the regulation of food addiction, impulsive personality, and body weight remains unclear.MethodsWe examined the differences in the volume of the amygdala and NAcc, especially the lateralization index (LI), between 33 obese participants and 39 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The associations of the LI of each brain region with clinical variables and body mass index (BMI) were identified using network analysis. Finally, we explored the relationships among the LIs of brain regions, impulsive personality, food addiction, and BMI through a multiple chain mediation model.ResultsWe observed a significant decrease in the LI of the amygdala in the obese group compared with the healthy group (F = 20.276, p < 0.001), which indicates that the right amygdala was larger than the left amygdala in the obese group. Network analysis revealed that the LI of the amygdala was very closely associated with nonplanning impulsivity, food addiction and BMI. The results of the mediation analysis indicated that increased nonplanning impulsiveness could lead to weight gain through increased food addiction (β = 0.069, SE = 0.043, 95% CI [0.014, 0.184]). Moreover, in this symptom chain, the LI of the amygdala can mediate the relationship between food addiction and BMI (β = 0.018, SE = 0.014, 95% CI [0.002, 0.061]).ConclusionOur observations indicate a substantial reduction in the LI of the amygdala among individuals with obesity, suggesting a structural predisposition. The findings reveal a potential neural mechanism that can help explain the interplay between impulsivity, food addiction, and obesity.
De narcopolítica a mafia. Evolución de la relación entre crimen organizado y política en Paraguay
Authors: Lachi Marcello , Martens Juan-Alberto 
Published: January 2025

Introducción: en Paraguay, la relación entre política y narcotráfico se remonta a la última etapa de la dictadura (1954-1989), aunque inició un proceso expansivo en los años siguientes. Objetivo: analizar cómo el narcotráfico mantuvo y amplió su incidencia en el país gracias a la instalación de relaciones cada vez más estrechas entre el crimen organizado y la clase política surgida con la democracia. Metodología: la producción de información combina los enfoques cualitativo y etnográfico; se han realizado en los últimos cinco años observaciones, entrevistas y conversaciones informales con diferentes actores claves, en distintas regiones del país, además de una exhaustiva revisión documental. Conclusiones: los hallazgos sugieren que, para el contexto paraguayo, el concepto de narcopolítica puede resultar insuficiente, y ser más adecuado el de mafia, ya que existe una superación de las clásicas complicidades de intercambio de favores (impunidad por financiación) entre política y crimen organizado y en su lugar se ha instalado un sistema orgánico de ilegalidad difusa, que incluye: políticos, criminales, profesionales de cuello blanco, empresarios; lo cual garantiza ganancias e impunidad generalizadas. El nivel de compenetración entre criminalidad, sociedad e instituciones está llegando a niveles tan profundos que ponen en entredicho la misma estabilidad democrática.
Characterizing Footstep Detection Thresholds with Distributed Acoustic Sensing
Authors: Luckie Thomas W. , Porritt Robert W. , Baker Michael G. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The resolution of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has allowed researchers to detect and analyze a wide variety of seismic and nonseismic sources, such as humans walking. Using preinstalled DAS fibers in telecommunication conduits near human communities makes detecting footstep sources nearly unavoidable. Researchers in the environmental and urban seismology fields see such anthropogenic sources as their signals of interest. However, traditional seismologists may view them as undesirable noise. Targeting or removing such sources requires an understanding of their characteristics. Previous research focused on recording walking signals has demonstrated DAS’s ability to record individual footsteps along a continuous path. Yet, most studies have used footsteps falling immediately above the fiber, with walking paths running parallel to the fiber. Those works provided valuable information on how footstep wavefields propagate. However, previous researchers have not addressed how far away DAS can detect a footstep. Many seismologists use preinstalled DAS with little or no control over array location. Thus, the wider community would benefit from a better understanding of off-fiber footstep detectability. Here, we use wavefields generated by a person walking recorded by a DAS array to locate footsteps through space and time. The footsteps are modeled as a series of discrete impulse forces which are located with backprojection. We explain the recorded amplitudes of a fiber-oblique walking path using a seismic impact model and wave propagation theory. Using this model and the observed amplitudes, we estimate an empirical site-specific maximum footstep detection threshold distance of ≤24 m that is valid for alluvial sites. This threshold can guide researchers in finding ideal DAS array settings, whether they seek to record footstep wavefields or avoid them.
Haunted Summerville: Ghostly Lights or Earthquake Lights?
Authors: Hough Susan E. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Among the colorful local lore in the Charleston, South Carolina, area, are a number of ghost stories, shared not only over campfires, but also in published books. Among the most well-known stories is the tale of the Summerville Light. Local lore holds that a strange light sometimes seen in a remote area is a lantern carried by the ghost of a woman who once waited hours for her husband to return (DePoppe, 2023). Extant sources suggest the ghost stories began to circulate in the 1950s to 1960s. So pervasive was the lore that (Old) Sheep Island Road became known among local residents as Light Road, with a local stretch of road known today as Old Light Road. Reviewing the location where the lights appear as well as the nature of accounts, I suggest that many if not all of the anecdotal observations can be most readily attributed to natural phenomena, including earthquake lights from earthquakes that were too small to be felt. Accounts of lights near Summerville cluster in proximity to the generally accepted epicenter of the 1886 Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake, where foreshocks to the 1886 mainshock were apparently concentrated (see Dutton, 1890), and within a few kilometers of three M 3.5–4.4 earthquakes in 1959 and 1960.

Relevance. The creation of new varieties and hybrids of sweet pepper adapted to the conditions of the Astrakhan region will increase yields, product quality and competitiveness. The analysis of the inheritance of valuable traits in F1 hybrids will also expand the base of the pepper gene pool and create new promising varieties and hybrids that meet the requirements of the modern market and consumers. The purpose of the study was to study the collection and breeding material for the creation of F1 sweet pepper hybrids with a combination of new economically valuable ones in the Astrakhan region.Methodology. The work was carried out in the Astrakhan region, Kamyzyaksky district in the VNIIOOB branch of the "PAFSC RAS" according to accepted methods and technologies. During 2021-2023, 82 collection samples and 420 breeding lines were studied, with a total area of 0.42 ha.The objects of research were 4 varieties and 1 line of sweet pepper.Results. In the collection and breeding nurseries, promising samples were selected, according to which hybridization was carried out. When studying the hybrids obtained, four hybrid combinations are of breeding interest: Cuboid red x Sprinter, Sprinter x Gift of Moldova, Sprinter x Flight, Flight x Sprinter. Inheritance was studied according to the characteristics: the type of bush, the shape of the fruit, color in the technical and biological degree of maturity, wall thickness and insemination of fruits. We studied the parental forms and inheritance of sweet pepper traits in F1 hybrids of four crossing combinations. Description and selection of combinations Cube-shaped red × Sprinter and Sprinter × Podarok Moldovan, exceeding the standard in yield by 5.7-7.3 tonnes/ha, which are of interest for further breeding work. It was determined that in the obtained hybrid combinations, the morphological characteristics of plants were inherited mainly by overdomination of the Sprinter variety.Conclusion. The research results can be applied in practice when creating the starting material for future varieties and hybrids of sweet pepper, and the resulting hybrids will complement the range of existing varieties and hybrids of sweet pepper.
