Generalized Alexander quandles of finite groups and their characterizations
Authors: Higashitani Akihiro , Kurihara Hirotake 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The goal of this paper is to characterization generalized Alexander quandles of finite groups in the language of the underlying groups. Firstly, we prove that if finite groups G are simple, then the quandle isomorphic classes of generalized Alexander quandles of G one-to-one correspond to the conjugacy classes of the automorphism groups of G. This correspondence can be also claimed for the case of symmetric groups. Secondly, we give a characterization of generalized Alexander quandles of finite groups G under some assumptions in terms of G. As corollaries of this characterization, we obtain several characterizations in some particular groups, e.g., abelian groups and dihedral groups. Finally, we perform a characterization of generalized Alexander quandles arisingfrom groups with their order up to 15.

Abstract
Background: Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a contagious transboundary animal disease that causes economic loss and obstacles to international trade. Frequent FMD outbreaks in Cambodia negatively impact farmers and smallholder incomes. This study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of FMD Non-Structural Protein (NSP) antibodies, which are indicator antibodies raised during a natural infection rather than those which may be vaccine-derived and analyzed by enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: Sample collection from cattle and pigs (n=2,238) was performed at ten abattoirs in seven provinces between October 2019 and December 2020. Overall seroprevalence in cattle and pigs was 43.2% (n=839) and 0.6% (n=1,399) respectively. In cattle, the abattoir with the highest seroprevalence was in Battambang (54.5%, n=110), followed by the abattoirs in Siem Reap at 52.3% (n=109), Prey Veng 45.1% (n=31), Phnom Penh 40.2% (n=547) and Takeo 37.5% (n=32). For pig samples, all 9 FMD NSP sero-reactors were detected only in two provinces, namely Takeo at 1.0% (n=191) and Phnom Penh at abattoirs Boeng Salang (0.4%; n=245), Damnak Thum (1.6%; n=185), and Trea Boun (1%; n=295). The seropositive pigs originated from Kampong Speu (0.8%; 5/603) and Thailand (1.6%; 4/250). Only the cattle dataset was included in the risk factor analysis as the prevalence of sero-reactors was too low in the pig dataset to be analysed. Significant risk factors identified by the logistic regression model included province of origin (p=0.02), body condition score (BCS) (p=0.0002) and sex (p=0.0007). Odds ratios of the significant risk factors were 7.05 (95%CI 1.43-34.67; p=0.02) for cattle that originated from Kampong Thom, 1.41 (95%CI 1.05-1.89; p=0.02) for female cattle, and 3.28 (95% CI 1.06-10.12; p=0.04) for animals with BCS of 3/5.
Conclusions: The study revealed that the seroprevalence of FMD NSP in cattle presenting at the abattoirs was high, while the FMD NSP seroprevalence in abattoir pigs was very low. Further investigation is required to map the disease distribution in Cambodia, especially the serotypes and strains causing clinical disease. These findings call for the extension of work on effective disease prevention measures, such as vaccination, early outbreak detection and movement restriction during outbreaks.

The Paradox of Talent: how Chance affects Success in Tennis Tournaments
Authors: Zappalà Chiara , Biondo Alessio Emanuele , Pluchino Alessandro , Rapisarda Andrea 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

Individual sports competitions provide a natural setting for examining the relative importance of talent and luck in achieving success. The belief that success is primarily due to individual abilities and hard work rather than external factors is especially strong in this context. Thus, individual talent is regarded as the most important – if not the only – component in ensuring a successful career for players. In this study, we test this belief through detailed data analysis and comparison with an agent-based model, using tennis as a case study due to its popularity and competition structure in direct-elimination tournaments. Our dataset covers the last decade (2010-2019) of main international events in the ATP circuit and consists of tourney results and annual rankings for professional male players. We show that our agent-based model, calibrated on the dataset, can reproduce the main stylized facts observed in real data, including the results of single tournaments and the development of players’ careers in the ATP community. The strength of our approach lies in its simplicity: it requires only one free parameter a to determine the importance of talent in scoring every single point: a = 1 indicates the ideal scenario in which only talent matters, whereas a = 0 represents the opposite limit case, in which the outcome of each point is entirely due to chance. We find a good agreement with data when talent weights substantially less than luck, i.e. when a is around 0.20. A posteriori, we notice that this surprisingly important role of chance in tennis tournaments is not an exception. On the contrary, it can be explained by a more general paradoxical effect that characterizes highly competitive environments, particularly in individual sports. In other words, when the difference in talent between top players is minimal, chance becomes determinant. Our findings highlight the impact of the – too often underestimated – external factors on athletes’ performance in individual tournaments and their careers. Our work points out the unfairness of the “winner-takes-all” reward system that enhances the disparities between the first classified players and the others in major competitions.
Probable maximum flood: the potential for estimation in the UK using ReFH2
Authors: Haxton Tracey , Vesuviano Gianni , Pucknell Samuel , Kjeldsen Thomas Rodding 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The current reservoir safety guidance within the UK recommends the use of the FSR/FEH rainfall-runoff model to estimate PMF (probable maximum flood) peak flows for reservoirs within the highest risk category (A). However, the FSR/FEH model has been superseded by the ReFH2 rainfall-runoff model for all other flood risk purposes in the UK. This study develops a new modelling framework for PMF estimation using ReFH2 by translating the assumptions made within the current FSR/FEH PMF procedure and applying these within the ReFH2 rainfall-runoff model. Peak flows from the methodology are compared with those from the FSR/FEH model for 400+ catchments. The study highlights the potential for ReFH2 to be used as the rainfall-runoff model for all return periods, up to and including the PMF, thereby paving the way for using the ReFH2 model for reservoir safety studies.

Abstract. Aim. The paper aims to evaluate the indicators of safety and reliability of the MALS suite of technology that ensures the control of locomotives. Increased indicators are achieved through the use of additional controls. As such, a second virtual channel is proposed. The latter allows detecting MALS failures without affecting the shunting engine control algorithms.Methods. The paper uses the graph method. Using a modified topological semi-Markov method, formulas were deduced for calculating the mean time to failure and the safety factor.Results. The paper individually examines the mean time of the automatic train operation system of a shunting engine remaining in at least SIL3 and mean time to hazardous failure. The authors research the dependence of the above indicators on the failure rate of the MALS equipment and the machine vision. Using the graph method, the level of the system’s functional safety was evaluated by calculating the safety factor and the danger factor. The dependence of the above factors on the system recovery time and probability of detection of component failures was examined.

Abstract:
It is now a known fact that microbiota needs to be regulated in order to prevent obesity,
which has become a global public health problem around the world. It is very important to
acquire sustainable and easy-to-apply eating habits for microbiota health. Studies show that the
type and amount of dietary protein, dietary polyphenol, and boron content can have positive effects
on the microbiota. In the light of the research studies examined as a result of this review, it
is thought that the microbiota health will improve with the acquisition of a diet with high protein,
polyphenol, and boron content, and thus, many chronic health problems related to nutrition, including
obesity, can be solved.

Do Infrared Thermometers Hold Promise for an Effective Early Warning System for Emerging Respiratory Infectious Diseases?
Authors: Li Rui , Shen Mingwang , Liu Hanting , Bai Lu , Zhang Lei 
Published: March 2023

Background
Major respiratory infectious diseases, such as influenza, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, have caused historic global pandemics with severe disease and economic burdens. Early warning and timely intervention are key to suppress such outbreaks.

Objective
We propose a theoretical framework for a community-based early warning (EWS) system that will proactively detect temperature abnormalities in the community based on a collective network of infrared thermometer–enabled smartphone devices.

Methods
We developed a framework for a community-based EWS and demonstrated its operation with a schematic flowchart. We emphasize the potential feasibility of the EWS and potential obstacles.

Results
Overall, the framework uses advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology on cloud computing platforms to identify the probability of an outbreak in a timely manner. It hinges on the detection of geospatial temperature abnormalities in the community based on mass data collection, cloud-based computing and analysis, decision-making, and feedback. The EWS may be feasible for implementation considering its public acceptance, technical practicality, and value for money. However, it is important that the proposed framework work in parallel or in combination with other early warning mechanisms due to a relatively long initial model training process.

Conclusions
The framework, if implemented, may provide an important tool for important decisions for early prevention and control of respiratory diseases for health stakeholders.

Published: March 2023

The state has a big responsibility in maintaining the safety of its citizens. After the pandemic era, the country made food safety a priority for the government in an effort to raise the level of public health. The death rate from poisoning and food-borne illness needs to be watched out for. The distribution permit is one of the government’s efforts to provide protection to its citizens. Even though the distribution permit is considered by some to be an obstacle to doing business. However, through the distribution permit, there are benefits to protecting the circulation of food that has the potential to cause harm. For this reason, the researcher raised the theme above as an answer that Islam is very concerned about safety even though it is through a distribution permit. Islam admits that with the distribution permit, the safety of residents can be controlled. The method in this research is socio-legal research that examines food safety from the perspective of Micro small and Medium Enterprises (MSEs) in the Bogor area by relating it to the applicable laws and regulations. The results of the study show that business actors are aware of the importance of distribution permits in ensuring food safety and increasing product turnover. Food safety is in line with thayyib standards in Islamic Law which means food must be good and not cause harm when consumed. The distribution permit for frozen food gave rise to a polemic between storage standards in a certain way and efforts by business actors to survive in diverting their business into frozen food products. The Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) has acted swiftly and wisely by launching new guidelines that distinguish the distribution license standard for Micro small and Medium Enterprises, which is different from the company’s mass production. Frozen food made by Micro small and Medium Enterprises does not require a distribution permit if the shelf life is less than 7 days and is directly distributed to consumers.

Delay analysis of mixed CNT bundles as global interconnect for nanotechnology nodes
Authors: Dhillon Gurleen , Sandha Karmjit Singh 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This paper presents modeling of high current capability of mixed carbon nanotube (CNT) bundle interconnects depending upon the type of constituent CNT materials and their orientations. With different arrangements, one category of novel mixed CNT bundles formed by the combination of multi-walled/multi-shell CNT and double-shell CNT bundles (MDCB) are proposed and compared with the mixed CNT bundles (MSCB) formed with multi-shell CNT and single-walled CNT bundles. A time-domain analysis is performed for these structures to analyse the effect of delay and power dissipation. It has also been observed that MDCB structures give better performance (≈ 30%) than MSCB structures in terms of power-delay product at the global length of interconnect for nano-regime technology nodes. Also, MDCB structure formed by placing multi-walled CNTs along the periphery and double-walled CNTs in the centre of structure yields the best result against all proposed mixed CNT bundled structures and can be employed for future interconnect applications.
