South African distribution: The Orange River (NC) to Cape Agulhas (WC), with a single record from near Algoa Bay (EC).
Remarks: The area between Saldanha Bay and Cape Point appears to be a population center since the species has been caught in higher numbers during survey cruises here than other locations off South Africa and Namibia (Compagno et al., 1991). One of the syntypes gives the nominal locality as the Bosphorus between the Black Sea and Sea of Marmara, Turkey, but this appears to be erroneous (Compagno & Ebert, 2007). Records of this species from Kerguelen Island are now known to be Bathyraja eatoni, which has in the past been synonymized with B. smithii, but it is a distinct species (Compagno et al., 1991; Compagno & Ebert, 2007).
Conservation status: LC (2019).

description: Purpose – Design thinking has become an omnipresent process to foster innovativeness in various fields. Due to its popularity in both practice and theory, the number of publications has been growing rapidly. The authors aim to develop a research framework that reflects the current state of research and allows for the identification of research gaps.

Design/methodology/approach – The authors conduct a systematic literature review based on 164 scholarly articles on design thinking.

Findings – This study proposes a framework, which identifies individual and organizational context factors, the stages of a typical design thinking process with its underlying principles and tools, and the individual as well as organizational outcomes of a design thinking project.

Originality/value – Whereas previous reviews focused on particular aspects of design thinking, such as its characteristics, the organizational culture as a context factor or its role on new product development, the authors provide a holistic overview of the current state of research.

South Africa voucher material: ZMH 25250 [ex ISH 54-1967]. Ebert et al. (2008) examined two specimens and four egg cases of this species at SAM; none had accession numbers.
South African distribution: Known from three records west of Cape Town (WC) in very deep water (Compagno & Ebert, 2007).
Remarks: This species was previously referred to as Amblyraja robertsi, but recent molecular and morphological data confirm this species is the wide-ranging A. hyperborea that has a circumglobal distribution (Last et al., 2016a). Two males, an adolescent and an adult, and four egg cases for this species were also trawled from 1,150 m off Cape Town (Ebert et al., 2008).

description: We prove that the knot Floer complex of a fibered knot detects whether the monodromy of its fibration is right-veering. In particular, this leads to a purely knot Floer-theoretic characterization of tight contact structures, by the work of Honda, Kazez, and Matic. Our proof makes use of the relationship between the Heegaard Floer homology of mapping tori and the symplectic Floer homology of area-preserving surface diffeomorphisms. We describe applications of this work to Dehn surgeries and taut foliations.

description: This paper introduces a set of numerical methods for Riemannian shape analysis of 3D surfaces within the setting of invariant (elastic) second-order Sobolev metrics. More specifically, we address the computation of geodesics and geodesic distances between parametrized or unparametrized immersed surfaces represented as 3D meshes. Building on this, we develop tools for the statistical shape analysis of sets of surfaces, including methods for estimating Karcher means and performing tangent PCA on shape populations, and for computing parallel transport along paths of surfaces. Our proposed approach fundamentally relies on a relaxed variational formulation for the geodesic matching problem via the use of varifold fidelity terms, which enable us to enforce reparametrization independence when computing geodesics between unparametrized surfaces, while also yielding versatile algorithms that allow us to compare surfaces with varying sampling or mesh structures. Importantly, we demonstrate how our relaxed variational framework can be extended to tackle partially observed data. The different benefits of our numerical pipeline are illustrated over various examples, synthetic and real.

description: In this study, we analyze and compare the performance of state-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning algorithms for solving the supply chain inventory management problem. This complex sequential decision-making problem consists of determining the optimal quantity of products to be produced and shipped across different warehouses over a given time horizon. In particular, we present a mathematical formulation of a two-echelon supply chain environment with stochastic and seasonal demand, which allows managing an arbitrary number of warehouses and product types. Through a rich set of numerical experiments, we compare the performance of different deep reinforcement learning algorithms under various supply chain structures, topologies, demands, capacities, and costs. The results of the experimental plan indicate that deep reinforcement learning algorithms outperform traditional inventory management strategies, such as the static (s, Q)-policy. Furthermore, this study provides detailed insight into the design and development of an open-source software library that provides a customizable environment for solving the supply chain inventory management problem using a wide range of data-driven approaches.

description: The minimax theorem for zero-sum games is easily proved from the strong duality theorem of linear programming. For the converse direction, the standard proof by Dantzig (1951) is known to be incomplete. We explain and combine classical theorems about solving linear equations with nonnegative variables to give a correct alternative proof, more directly than Adler (2013). We also extend Dantzig's game so that any max-min strategy gives either an optimal LP solution or shows that none exists.

description: State-of-the-art Text-to-Image models like Stable Diffusion and DALLE·2 are revolutionizing how people generate visual content. At the same time, society has serious concerns about how adversaries can exploit such models to generate problematic or unsafe images. In this work, we focus on demystifying the generation of unsafe images and hateful memes from Text-to-Image models. We first construct a typology of unsafe images consisting of five categories (sexually explicit, violent, disturbing, hateful, and political).
Then, we assess the proportion of unsafe images generated by four advanced Text-to-Image models using four prompt datasets. We find that Text-to-Image models can generate a substantial percentage of unsafe images; across four models and four prompt datasets, 14.56% of all generated images are unsafe. When comparing the four Text-to-Image models, we find different risk levels, with Stable Diffusion being the most prone to generating unsafe content (18.92% of all generated images are unsafe). Given Stable Diffusion’s tendency to generate more unsafe content, we evaluate its potential
to generate hateful meme variants if exploited by an adversary to attack a specific individual or community. We employ three image editing methods, DreamBooth, Textual Inversion, and SDEdit, which are supported by Stable Diffusion to generate variants. Our evaluation result shows that 24% of the generated images using DreamBooth are hateful meme variants that present the features of the original hateful meme and the target individual/community; these generated images are comparable to hateful meme variants collected from the real world. Overall, our results demonstrate that the danger of large-scale generation of unsafe images is imminent.
We discuss several mitigating measures, such as curating training data, regulating prompts, and implementing safety filters, and encourage better safeguard tools to be developed to prevent unsafe generation.

South Africa voucher material: Uncertain, all previous large Dipturus species off the west and south coasts of South Africa have been referred to as D. springeri. The specimens listed here were all from the west and south coasts of South Africa and may be D. nidarosiensis pending re-examination: SAIAB 26001, SAIAB 26231, SAIAB 26466, SAIAB 26467, SAIAB 26468, SAIAB 26636, SAIAB 26637, SAIAB 26912, SAIAB 26913, SAIAB 26914, SAIAB 40953.
South African distribution: West coast and possibly south coast (WC), but eastern extent of range uncertain due to confusion with D. springeri.
Remarks: This species was thought to be restricted to the northeast Atlantic, but Last et al. (2016a), based on molecular data, extended its range to South Africa where it has been misidentified with D. springeri, which now may only occur off the east coast of South Africa. A re-examination of South African D. springeri specimens is required to better define the geographic distribution of these two large Dipturus species.

description: Three hundred and forty members of the administration and finance departments in a loc~l university participated in a study designed to examine the relationships between leadership style (transformational, transactional, laissez-faire) and job satisfaction, rated leader effectiveness, effort, group cohesiveness, performance, group effectiveness, organizational involvement, role clarity, role conflict, intent to turnover, and absenteeism. Correlation and regression analyses indicated that transformational leadership often is associated with improved levels of important work outcomes. In addition, regardless of leadership style, followers high in charisma are more satisfied when their leader demonstrates a lower level of charisma. Lastly, the "falling dominoes" effect of transformational leadership fails to appear.

Why do philosophers disagree on how the sciences relate? A metaphilosophical analysis
Creators: name: Seifert, Vanessa
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Philosophy/history

description: How the natural sciences relate and what these relations tell us about the world have been examined in philosophy for a long time. Yet despite the enormous advances in the natural sciences and the growing consensus among scientists about which theories are reliable, philosophers starkly disagree on how the sciences relate to each other. I identify the main reasons for this disagreement and argue that philosophers will never agree on how the sciences relate. I support this by invoking van Fraassen’s idea of stances. Specifically, I show that positions on inter-theory relations are motivated by philosophers’ stances towards methodological, normative and existential considerations. As such, disagreements among positions don't admit to adjudication, thus explaining why they persist. I then examine whether philosophical disagreement is something to be worried about and argue that there are in principle and pragmatic reasons that prompt such a worry. To overcome this, an explicit identification of the stances that motivate differing views is required within this debate.

South Africa voucher material: Holotype: SAIAB 989 [ex ORI B 909].
South African distribution: KZN, but records from the EC and WC require confirmation due to confusion with the recently documented occurrence of D. nidarosiensis in South African waters.
Remarks: Until recently, this species was considered to occur from about L̹deritz, Namibia, south and all around the South African coast, and north to Kenya and east to Madagascar. However, the recent revelation that D. nidarosiensis occurs to South Africa highlights that a re-evaluation of these large Dipturus species is required to determine the extent of their range in the region.

description: Recent medical image reconstruction techniques focus on generating high-quality medical images suitable for clinical use at the lowest possible cost and with the fewest possible adverse effects on patients. Recent works have shown significant promise for reconstructing MR images from sparsely sampled k-space data using deep learning. In this work, we propose a technique that rapidly estimates deep neural networks directly at reconstruction time by fitting them on small adaptively estimated neighborhoods of a training set. In brief, our algorithm alternates between searching for neighbors in a data set that are similar to the test reconstruction, and training a local network on these neighbors followed by updating the test reconstruction. Because our reconstruction model is learned on a dataset that is in some sense similar to the image being reconstructed rather than being fit on a large, diverse training set, it is more adaptive to new scans. It can also handle changes in training sets and flexible scan settings, while being relatively fast. Our approach, dubbed LONDN-MRI, was validated on multiple data sets using deep unrolled reconstruction networks. Reconstructions were performed at four fold and eight fold undersampling of k-space with 1D variable-density random phase-encode undersampling masks. Our results demonstrate that our proposed locally-trained method produces higher-quality reconstructions compared to models trained globally on larger datasets as well as other scan-adaptive methods.

description: We compute the number of F_q-points on M_{4,n}, for n less than or equal to 3, and show that it is a polynomial in q, using a sieve based on Hasse-Weil zeta functions. As an application, we prove that the rational singular cohomology groups of moduli spaces of stable curves of genus g with n marked points vanish in all odd degrees less than or equal to 9, for all g and n. Both results confirm predictions of the Langlands program, via the conjectural correspondence with polarized algebraic cuspidal automorphic representations of conductor 1, which are classified in low weight. Our vanishing result for odd cohomology resolves a problem posed by Arbarello and Cornalba in the 1990s.
