description: This study aims to determine the research mapping regarding the Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) ratio in Islamic and Conventional Banking using a mix-method approach, namely the VOSviewer bibliometric study and literature review. Data analysis techniques include: (1) mapping the distribution of journal publications around the FDR ratio; (2) mapping the results of the VOSviewer bibliometric visualization around the FDR ratio based on the number of clusters and their items; and (3) mapping research topics around the FDR ratio using a literature review study. The results showed that: (1) based on the distribution of journal publications, there were 246 journal publications regarding the FDR ratio; (2) based on the mapping of the VOSviewer bibliometric study, the network visualization results around the FDR ratio are divided into 5 clusters and 1 74 topic items; (3) based on the mapping of literature review studies, there are 31 topics around the influence of the FDR ratio and 18 topics about the determinants of the FDR ratio. The implications and contributions of this research are to map research topics around FDR ratios in Islamic and Conventional Banking which are often or rarely researched by researchers so that they can be a reference for subsequent researchers.

description: The study area is the alpine zone of Wilcox Pass, Jasper National Park. The vascular flora consists of 186 species. A hybrid analysis of Dryas octopetala and integrifolia populations shows that a large percentage of them have intermediate characteristics; most of them more closely resembling E. integrifolia. Twelve community-types were found to be the most common in the study are. The Salix glauca and the Arctostaphylos uva-ursi community-types are typical of the lower alpine subzone. The other plant associations occur commonly in the middle alpine subzone: the Kobresia myosuroides and the Dryas octopetala associations on dry, exposed, snow-free ridges and hilltops; the Cassiope tetragona., the Salix nivalis and the Fhyllcdoce glanduliflora. associations in intermediate habitats; the Anten..'1aria lanata, the Carex nigricans and the Salix arctica community-types on moist, snowbed sites; and the Salix barra.ttiana and the Carex aqua.tills community-types in areas which are very wet and covered with deep snow. The upper alpine subzone vegetation is composed of cushion, mat and rosette plants on rock outcrops and scree slopes. Few species were found exclusively in a single community-type. A growth-form analysis of Wilcox Pass and three other alpine areas studied previously showed that 11% of alpine species are hemicrypto:phytes, 17.5% are chamaephytes, 6.5% are geophytes, 4% are phanerophytes and o.6% are therophytes~ The high frequency of hemicryptophytes and chamaephytes indicates that these are successfully adapted alpine forms. Weighted spectra, based on coverage values, and unweighted spectra for each association differed, primarily, in the increased emphasis of the weighted spectra on the growth-form of the dominant species. Comparisons of the 12 community-types of the study area with previously described associations of other Alberta alpine areas show a large degree of similarity of habitats, as well as both similarities and differences in species composition.

description: Time-resolved X-ray Emission/Absorption Spectroscopy (Tr-XES/XAS) is an informative experimental tool sensitive to electronic dynamics in materials, widely exploited in diverse research fields. Typically, Tr-XES/XAS requires X-ray pulses with both a narrow bandwidth and sub-picosecond pulse duration, a combination that in principle finds its optimum with Fourier transform-limited pulses. In this work, we explore an alternative xperimental approach, capable of simultaneously retrieving information about unoccupied (XAS) and occupied (XES) states from the stochastic fluctuations of broadband extreme ultraviolet pulses of a free-electron laser. We used this method, in combination with singular value decomposition and Tikhonov regularization procedures, to determine the XAS/XES response from a crystalline silicon sample at the L2,3-edge, with an energy resolution of a few tens of meV. Finally, we combined this spectroscopic method with a pump-probe approach to measure structural and electronic dynamics of a silicon membrane. Tr-XAS/XES data obtained after photoexcitation with an optical laser pulse at 390 nm allowed us to observe perturbations of the band structure, which are compatible with the formation of the predicted precursor state of a non-thermal solid-liquid phase transition associated with a bond softening phenomenon.

description: We present a joint experimental and computational study of the effect of bacterial motion on micron-scale colloids contained in a two-dimensional suspension of Bacillus subtilis. With respect to previous work using E. coli, here we introduce a novel experimental set-up that allows us to realise a two-dimensional bacterial suspension insensitive to either evaporation or fluid flow. By analysing the mean square displacements of both bacteria and colloids, we confirm the existence of a crossover from super-diffusive behaviour at short time scales to normal diffusion at longer times. We also study the same two-dimensional system by means of numerical simulations, using a suspension of self-propelled dumbbells or the Vicsek model, which has been previously used to study the dynamics of active particles. Our numerical results obtained with both models are in broad agreement with the experimental trends, but only the dumbbell simulations can match the experimental data quantitatively. The level of agreement we find suggest that steric interactions due to collisions are important players in determining collective motion of the bacterial bath, and should complement hydrodynamic interactions in experiments.

description: The primary goal of this thesis is to find the distribution function of number of particles imbalance for ultra cold bosons trapped in a double well potential elongated in one direction for different strength of interaction between particles. This distribution function has been found to be Gaussian distribution function in two different limits. The first limit is weak interaction limit, where we only consider one energy level per well that is called "two mode approximation" regime. The second limit is when the interaction energy is in the same order as gap between energy levels where in this case, we consider finite number of levels per well. The standard deviation of number of particles distribution also has been found in both limits to be proportional to the square root of the total number of particles. In addition, some numerical work is done to find these distribution functions and the results are in agreement with analytical results.

description: We used high-resolution [C II] 158 $μ$m mapping of two nebulae IC 59 and IC 63 from SOFIA/upGREAT in conjunction with ancillary data on the gas, dust, and polarization to probe the kinematics, structure, and magnetic properties of their photo-dissociation regions (PDRs). The nebulae are part of the Sh 2-185 H II region illuminated by the B0 IVe star $γ$ Cas. The velocity structure of each PDR changes with distance from $γ$ Cas, consistent with driving by the radiation. Based on previous FUV flux measurements of, and the known distance to $γ$ Cas along with the predictions of 3D distances to the clouds, we estimated the FUV radiation field strength (G0) at the clouds. Assuming negligible extinction between the star and clouds, we find their 3D distances from $γ$ Cas. For IC 63, our results are consistent with earlier estimates of distance from Andersson et al. (2013), locating the cloud at 2 pc from $γ$ Cas, at an angle of 58 to the plane of the sky, behind the star. For IC 59, we derive a distance of 4.5 pc at an angle of 70 in front of the star. We do not detect any significant correlation between the orientation of the magnetic field (Soam et al. 2017) and the velocity gradients of [C II] gas, indicating a moderate magnetic field strength. The kinetic energy in IC 63 is estimated to be order of ten higher than the magnetic energies. This suggests that kinetic pressure in this nebula is dominant.

description: Deriving stellar atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances from stellar spectra is crucial for understanding the evolution of the Milky Way. By performing a fitting with MARCS model atmospheric theoretical synthetic spectra combined with a domain-adaptation method, we estimate the fundamental stellar parameters (Teff, log g, [Fe/H], vmic, and vmac) and 11 chemical abundances for 1.38 million FGKM-type stars of the Medium-Resolution Spectroscopic Survey (MRS) from LAMOST-II DR8. The domain-adaptation method, Cycle-StarNet, is employed to reduce the gap between observed and synthetic spectra, and the L-BFGS algorithm is used to search for the best-fit synthetic spectra. By combining the 2MASS photometric survey data, Gaia EDR3 parallax, and MIST isochrones, the surface gravities of the stars are constrained after estimating their bolometric luminosities. The accuracy of Teff, log g, and [Fe/H] can reach 150 K, 0.11 dex, and 0.15 dex, evaluated by the PASTEL catalog, asteroseismic samples, and other spectroscopic surveys. The precision of these parameters and elemental abundances ([C/Fe], [Na/Fe], [Mg/Fe], [Si/Fe], [Ca/Fe], [Ti/Fe], [Cr/Fe], [Mn/Fe], [Co/Fe], [Ni/Fe], and [Cu/Fe]) is assessed by repeated observations and validated by cluster members. For spectra with signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios greater than 10, the precision of the three stellar parameters and elemental abundances can achieve 76 K, 0.014 dex, 0.096 dex, and 0.04-0.15 dex. For spectra with S/N ratios higher than 100, the precision stabilizes at 22 K, 0.006 dex, 0.043 dex, and 0.01-0.06 dex. The full LAMOST MRS stellar properties catalog is available online.

description: A protocol for realizing discrete-variable quantum teleportation in an optomagnonic system is provided. Using optical pulses, an arbitrary photonic qubit state encoded in orthogonal polarizations is transferred onto the joint state of a pair of magnonic oscillators in two macroscopic yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) spheres that are placed in an optical interferometer. We further show that optomagnonic entanglement swapping can be realized in an extended dual-interferometer configuration with a joint Bell-state detection. Consequently, magnon Bell states are prepared. We analyze the effect of the residual thermal occupation of the magnon modes on the fidelity in both the teleportation and entanglement swapping protocols.

description: The Galactic black hole candidate MAXI J0637-430 was first discovered by $\textit{MAXI/GSC}$ on 2019 November 02. We study the spectral properties of MAXI J0637-430 by using the archived $\textit{NuSTAR}$ data and $\textit{Swift}$/XRT data. After fitting the eight spectra by using a disk component and a powerlaw component model with absorption, we select the spectra with relatively strong reflection components for detailed X-ray reflection spectroscopy. Using the most state-of-art reflection model $\tt{relxillCp}$, the spectral fitting measures a black hole spin $\textit{a}_{\rm{*}} > 0.72$ and the inclination angle of the accretion disk $i$ = $46.1_{-5.3}^{+4.0}$ degrees, at 90 per cent confidence level. In addition, the fitting results show an extreme supersolar iron abundance. Combined with the fitting results of the reflection model $\tt{reflionx\_hd}$, we consider that this unphysical iron abundance may be caused by a very high density accretion disk ( $n_{\rm{e}} > 2.34 \times 10^{21}$ $\rm{cm}^{-3}$ ) or a strong Fe K$α$ emission line. The soft excess is found in the soft state spectral fitting results, which may be an extra free-free heating effect caused by high density of the accretion disk. Finally, we discuss the robustness of black hole spin obtained by X-ray reflection spectroscopy. The result of relatively high spin is self-consistent with broadened Fe K$α$ line. Iron abundance and disk density have no effect on the spin results.

Recent experiments at optical frequencies have demonstrated cloaking for the light amplitude ("ray cloaking").

description: We report on the merging between the southern polar coronal hole and an adjacent coronal dimming induced by a coronal mass ejection on 2022 March 18, resulting in the merged region persisting for at least 72 hrs. We use remote sensing data from multiple co-observing spacecraft to understand the physical processes during this merging event. The evolution of the merger is examined using Extreme-UltraViolet (EUV) images obtained from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly onboard the Solar Dynamic Observatory and Extreme Ultraviolet Imager onboard the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. The plasma dynamics are quantified using spectroscopic data obtained from the EUV Imaging Spectrometer onboard Hinode. The photospheric magnetograms from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager are used to derive magnetic field properties. To our knowledge, this work is the first spectroscopical analysis of the merging of two open-field structures. We find that the coronal hole and the coronal dimming become indistinguishable after the merging. The upflow speeds inside the coronal dimming become more similar to that of a coronal hole, with a mixture of plasma upflows and downflows observable after the merging. The brightening of bright points and the appearance of coronal jets inside the merged region further imply ongoing reconnection processes. We propose that component reconnection between the coronal hole and coronal dimming fields plays an important role during this merging event, as the footpoint switching resulting from the reconnection allows the coronal dimming to intrude onto the boundary of the southern polar coronal hole.

description: We present the first 3D fully coupled magneto-thermal simulations of neutron stars (including the most realistic background structure and microphysical ingredients so far) applied to a very complex initial magnetic field topology in the crust, similar to what recently obtained by proto-neutron star dynamo simulations. In such configurations, most of the energy is stored in the toroidal field, while the dipolar component is a few percent of the mean magnetic field. This initial feature is maintained during the long-term evolution (1e6 yr), since the Hall term favours a direct cascade (compensating for Ohmic dissipation) rather than a strong inverse cascade, for such an initial field topology. The surface dipolar component, responsible for the dominant electromagnetic spin-down torque, does not show any increase in time, when starting from this complex initial topology. This is at contrast with the timing properties of young pulsars and magnetars which point to higher values of the surface dipolar fields. A possibility is that the deep-seated magnetic field (currents in the core) is able to self-organize in large scales (during the collapse or in the early life of a neutron star). Alternatively, the dipolar field might be lower than is usually thought, with magnetosphere substantially contributing to the observed high spin-down, via e.g., strong winds or strong coronal magnetic loops, which can also provide a natural explanation to the tiny surface hotspots inferred from X-ray data.

description: Suicidal ideation detection is a vital research area that holds great potential for improving mental health support systems. However, the sensitivity surrounding suicide-related data poses challenges in accessing large-scale, annotated datasets necessary for training effective machine learning models. To address this limitation, we introduce an innovative strategy that leverages the capabilities of generative AI models, such as ChatGPT, Flan-T5, and Llama, to create synthetic data for suicidal ideation detection. Our data generation approach is grounded in social factors extracted from psychology literature and aims to ensure coverage of essential information related to suicidal ideation. In our study, we benchmarked against state-of-the-art NLP classification models, specifically, those centered around the BERT family structures. When trained on the real-world dataset, UMD, these conventional models tend to yield F1-scores ranging from 0.75 to 0.87. Our synthetic data-driven method, informed by social factors, offers consistent F1-scores of 0.82 for both models, suggesting that the richness of topics in synthetic data can bridge the performance gap across different model complexities. Most impressively, when we combined a mere 30% of the UMD dataset with our synthetic data, we witnessed a substantial increase in performance, achieving an F1-score of 0.88 on the UMD test set. Such results underscore the cost-effectiveness and potential of our approach in confronting major challenges in the field, such as data scarcity and the quest for diversity in data representation.

description: For the analysis of seismic wave amplification, modal methods are interesting tools to study the modal properties of geological structures. Modal approaches mainly lead to information on such parameters as fundamental frequencies and eigenmodes of alluvial basins. For a specific alluvial deposit in Nice (France), a simplified modal approach involving the Rayleigh method is considered. This approach assumes a set of admissible shape functions for the eigenmodes and allows a fast estimation of the fundamental frequency of the basin. The agreement between modal numerical results and experimental ones is satisfactory. The simplified modal method then appears as an efficient mean for the global vibratory characterization of geological structures towards resonance.

description: We apply the renormalization group procedure for effective particles (RGPEP) to the QCD eigenvalue problem for only heavy quarks. We derive the effective Hamiltonian that acts on the Fock space by solving the RGPEP equation up to second order in powers of the coupling constant. The eigenstates that contain three quarks and two or more gluons are eliminated by inserting a gluon-mass term in the component with one gluon and formulate the eigenvalue problem for baryons. We estimate masses for $bbb$ and $ccc$ states and find that the results match the estimates obtained in lattice QCD and in quark models.

description: We demonstrate a high-accuracy distributed fiber-optic temperature sensor using superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors and single-photon counting techniques. Our demonstration uses inexpensive single-mode fiber at standard telecommunications wavelengths as the sensing fiber, which enables extremely low-loss experiments and compatibility with existing fiber networks. We show that the uncertainty of the temperature measurement decreases with longer integration periods, but is ultimately limited by the calibration uncertainty. Temperature uncertainty on the order of 3 K is possible with spatial resolution of the order of 1 cm and integration period as small as 60 seconds. Also, we show that the measurement is subject to systematic uncertainties, such as polarization fading, which can be reduced with a polarization diversity receiver.

Feed attractants for juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) prepared from hydrolysates of Pacific hake (Merluccius productus)
Creators: name: Ho, Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The incorporation of soybean meal in aquaculture diets can lower feed ingredient costs, but also produces organoleptically unfavorable conditions for several salmon species. Addition of feed attractants could mask the undesirable tastes associated with soybean meal, enhance palatability of the diet, and increase feed intake. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of utilizing hydrolysates from Pacific hake as feed attractants in the diet of juvenile Chinook salmon. A 5-week palatability feeding trial was conducted to assess hydrolysates produced by Alcalase or Flavorzyme proteolysis of Pacific hake, compared to commercial feed attractants (krill meal and screen 1 & 2), as feed attractants in diets containing 20% soybean meal. These were compared with diets having no added feed attractants (negative control) and no soybean meal (positive control). All of the fish fed the soy-based diets had significantly (p<0.05) lower growth parameters when compared with fish fed the fishmeal based positive control diet. However, addition of Alcalase hydrolysate, krill or screen 1 provided increases in fish weight gain, feed efficiency ratio, and specific growth rate (p<0.05) compared with fish fed the negative control soy-based diet. The percent of feed dispensed that was not consumed by the fish was lowered (p<0.05) with the use of these three aforementioned attractants when compared to fish fed the negative control diet. Increased daily and total feed intake were also observed for the fish fed the Screen 1 coated diets (p<0.05). Fish fed Alcalase or Flavorzyme hydrolysate containing diets were tested for the presence of Kudoa spores, which were not detected in any of the fish tested. This study demonstrated the potential for Pacific hake, an underused marine source, to be converted to a feed attractant to help minimize the problems associated with dietary use of soybean meal in salmon aquaculture.

description: To decipher complex patterns of gravity-mode period spacings observed for intermediate-mass main-sequence stars is an important step toward the better understanding of the structure and dynamics in the deep radiative region of the stars. In this study, we apply JWKB approximation to derive a semi-analytical expression of the g-mode period spacing pattern, for which the gradient in the Brunt-Väisälä frequency is taken into account. The formulation includes a term $P^{-1} B_{\star}$, where $P$ and $B_{\star}$ represent the g-mode period and degree of the structural variation, the latter of which especially is related to the steepness of the gradient of the Brunt-Väisälä frequency. Tests with 1-dimensional stellar models show that the semi-analytical expression derived in this study is useful for inferring the degree of the structural variation $B_{\star}$ with accuracy of $\sim 10\,\%$ in the case of relatively massive intermediate-mass models with the mass $M$ larger than $3 \,M_{\odot}$. The newly formulated expression will possibly allow us to put further constraints on, e.g., mixing processes inside intermediate-mass main-sequence g-mode pulsators such as $β$ Cep, SPB, and $γ$ Dor stars that have been principal targets in asteroseismology.

description: The European integration project is in troubled waters. All branches of European studies document its difficulties, explore the reasons and discuss the potential to cure its failings. Diagnoses, of course, differ widely both across and beyond the Eurozone and the European Union, and, unsurprisingly, these debates are not immune to distorted perceptions and wrongful ascriptions. The title of this comment points to a schism which is not new, but which seems to be deepening. The schism mirrors the discrepancies in the various disciplines concerned with the integration process. Thanks to the re-opening of the OMT-litigation in Karlsruhe, we know at least that the CJEU did not have the last word. But the Luxembourg Court may well have had the final say; it is as unlikely as ever that Karlsruhe will shoulder the responsibility for the destruction of the common currency. What we can observe is a strengthening of European powers. We have learned to understand any move towards more Europe as a signal of progress. But the kind of transformation to which we are now exposed has been generated by a crisis of enormous dimensions whose end is not in sight. As a lawyer, I would substantiate: this crisis attests to nothing less and nothing better than the inability of European politics to remain faithful to the commitment to the project of a democratic mode of European governance, to the respect of human and social rights, and to a law-mediated legitimacy of the integration project. This is a discomforting reading of the state of the Union. Judicial self-restraint could become a cure only if the judiciary both intended to and were able to help to initiate responsible political deliberation about a re-construction of Europe's legitimacy. For the time being, we have to conclude, sadly, that Europe is without a guardian of its constitutionalism.

description: Correlations and fluctuations between produced particles in an ultra-relativistic nuclear collision remain one of the successor to understand the basics of the particle production mechanism. More differential tools like Forward-Backward (FB) correlations between particles from two different phase-space further strengthened our cognizance. We have studied the strength of FB correlations in terms of charged particle multiplicity and summed transverse momentum for proton-proton ($pp$) and proton-lead ($pPb$) collisions at the centre-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV and $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV respectively for the EPOS3 simulated events with hydrodynamical evolution of produced particles. Furthermore, the correlation strengths are separately obtained for the particles coming from the core and the corona. FB correlation strengths are examined as a function of psedorapidity gap ($η_{gap}$), psedorapidity window-width ($δη$), centre-of-mass energy ($\sqrt{s}$), minimum transverse momentum ($p_{Tmin}$) and different multiplicity classes following standard kinematical cuts used by the ALICE and the ATLAS experiments at the LHC for all three EPOS3 event samples. EPOS3 model shows a similar trend of FB multiplicity and momentum correlation strengths for both $pp$ \& $pPb$ systems, though the correlation strengths are found to be larger for $pPb$ system than $pp$ system. Moreover, $δη$-weighted average of FB correlation strengths as a function of different center-of-mass energies for $pp$ collisions delineates a tendency of saturation at very high energies.

description: Well determined radial velocities and abundances are essential for analyzing the properties of the Globular Cluster system of the Milky Way. However more than 50% of these clusters have no spectroscopic measure of their metallicity. In this context, this work provides new radial velocities and abundances for twenty Milky Way globular clusters which lack or have poorly known values for these quantities. The radial velocities and abundances are derived from spectra obtained at the Ca II triplet using the FORS2 imager and spectrograph at the VLT, calibrated with spectra of red giants in a number of clusters with well determined abundances. For about half of the clusters in our sample we present significant revisions of the existing velocities or abundances, or both. We also confirm the existence of a sizable abundance spread in the globular cluster M54, which lies at the center of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy. In addition evidence is provided for the existence of a small intrinsic internal abundance spread (sigma [Fe/H](int) ~ 0.11-0.14 dex, similar to that of M54) in the luminous distant globular cluster NGC 5824. This cluster thus joins the small number of Galactic globular clusters known to possess internal metallicity ([Fe/H]) spreads.

description: This research examines the mediation effects of prior experience, access to finance, government regulation, and workforce skills on entrepreneurial gender and corporate innovation in China. The aim is to study the factors that influence innovation decisions of women entrepreneurs and to promote corporate innovation in women-owned enterprises in developing countries like China. The data of this research comes from China Enterprise Survey conducted by World Bank in 2012. The findings revealed that prior experience, government regulation, and workforce skills have significant individual mediation effect on the relationship between entrepreneurial gender and corporate innovation. Also, prior experience, access to finance, government regulation, and workforce skills together played a significant overall mediating effect on corporate innovation in women-owned enterprises. The results of this study will provide important insights to women owners of enterprises, policy makers, and researchers to further understand the influence of prior experience, access to finance, government regulations, and workforce skills on corporate innovation in China and other emerging countries.

Reporters in practice
Creators: name: Mardenfeld, Sandra
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: Journalists often take the position that confidential sources should remain anonymous. One tool journalists invoke when pressure is exerted by the government to reveal a source’s identity is reporters’ privilege, basing this right on the First Amendment, which protects freedom of speech and the press. Yet the interpretation of exactly what this Amendment promises is much debated. Studies on reporter’s privilege and shield laws usually focus on three arenas: historical developments (Allen, 1992), analysis of legislation and court cases (Fargo, 2006-c; Fargo, 2002; Schmid, 2001) and whether the First Amendment promisesprivilege at all (Marcus, 1983). Little research, however, looks at reporter’s privilege and shield laws through the eyes of practitioners and whether they think the threat of source exposure corrupts the newsperson’s ability to inform the public, thus hurting free speech. Similarly, there is little research on how the mainstream news media frame reporter’s privilege and shield laws and what the public thinks of them. The first purpose of this dissertation is to understand journalists’ perceptions of the importance of the reporter/anonymous source relationship and whether they think the threat of revealing sources alters the newsgathering process by interviewing ournalists who went to jail rather than expose their sources. The second goal is to understand how reporter’s privilege and shield laws are portrayed to the public by looking at the frames four major metro newspapers, in different geographical regions,used in their editorial pages when discussing reporter’s privilege and shield laws over the span of 38 years, starting in 1972, the year of the pivotal Supreme Court decision in Branzburg v. Hayes1. The findings may provide insight into how the media explain such issues to the public and how the media establishment can better construct their narratives to educate its audience on such concerns. The last purpose is to suggest how the public may understand the issues of shield laws and reporter’s privilege through the media they consume. The findings from focus groups conducted with three demographic groups—students, baby boomers, and seniors—provide insight into how the public may perceive and misinterpret such issues, and how media institutions can better educate the public on shield laws and reporter’s privilege.
