description: Agrarian reform in Moldova, as in all former Soviet republics, involved the transfer of land and assets of collective farms in private possession, and also restructuring of the last. It was supposed that the given directions of reforms will provide, in shortest terms, recovery of agriculture and will serve as the catalyst for serious transformations of rural areas. As a matter of fact, they became the catalyst of new problems: As appeared subsequently, the end of land transformations does not mean at all the termination of problems, but only their beginning. It is well known the fact that improvement of the state in any sector of economy and even economy at all, is in direct dependence on correctness of decision-making. But the last one, is impossible without an objective estimation of the state and existing problems. The aim of this paper is to present a study of the major problems of Moldavian agriculture and estimation of its state after cardinal agrarian transformations of the 90's.
'Your Majesty's Loyal and Dutiful Subjects': Carlisle and 'Papal Aggression'

description: An intriguing document recently discovered in the local studies section of Carlisle City Library has shed light on deeply hostile reactions in Cumberland to a major alteration in the administration of the English Catholic community in the mid-19th century, as the papacy in Rome created a new bench of bishops for England and Wales. This step led to an upsurge of 'anti-popery' in Victorian Cumberland, focused on Carlisle. The purpose of this paper is to examine the background to this document and to trace the pattern of events leading to its production.
Time-Dependent CP Violation Effects in Partially Reconstructed $B^0 \to D^* π$ Decays
Creators: name: Gershon, T.

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report measurements of time-dependent decay rates for $B^0 \to D^{*\mp} π^\pm$ decays and extraction of CP violation parameters related to $ϕ_3$. We use a partial reconstruction technique, whereby signal events are identified using information only from the primary pion and the charged pion from the decay of the $D^{*\mp}$. The analysis uses $140 {\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data accumulated at the $Υ(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. We measure the CP violation parameters $S^+ = 0.035 \pm 0.041 ({\rm stat}) \pm 0.018 ({\rm syst})$ and $S^- = 0.025 \pm 0.041 ({\rm stat}) \pm 0.018 ({\rm syst})$.

'Trifling with the County': Antiquarian Rivalries in Early Nineteenth-Century Westmorland

description: Transactions of the Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, 20, 171-184
description: John Hodgson's copy of The History of Westmorland by Richard Burn contains bound-in letters from John Robinson D.D., rector of Clifton, Westmorland. Robinson stated his intention to write a new history of the county but later revealed significant public criticism of his purpose and capabilities by John Hill, of Bankfoot, recorder of Appleby. In a letter to the national press, also bound into the Burn volume, Hill claimed that he also was intending to write a new history of Westmorland and openly challenged Robinson's suitability for such a task. Despite being a significant author in other domains, Burn's confidence in his ability to undertake his project appears to have been severely affected. Although an avid collector of materials for a history of the county, and fortunate to have access to Thomas Machell's voluminous manuscripts, Hill never published anything. This paper questions his motives in attacking Robinson's intentions and suggests that they were based partly on a sense of entitlement and a perspective on local knowledge that considered it a personal possession rather than something to be shared.

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 620

description: This paper is providing an overview about most common wafer bonding technologies used for the realization of nano-, micro,- and macro systems and for system integration. At first, the general aspects of wafer bonding applications are discussed. This is followed by the technological description of different wafer bonding processes, since for different bonding applications different processes are required related to process integration and the actual surface layers on the wafers which should be bonded. Finally, benefits and drawbacks as well as technology and application aspects are shown in an overview table, providing systematization and detailed comparison of the described bonding processes. This overview should help to choose the best suitable process for wafer level bonding and other applications.

description: The masking of therapeutic antibodies by the installation of a blocking module that can be removed under certain physiological conditions, is becoming increasingly important to improve their safety and toxicity profile. To gain access to such masking units, we used chicken immunization in combination with yeast surface display and a competition‐based FACS screening campaign to obtain anti‐idiotypic single‐chain Fv (scFv) fragments. This approach promotes the identification of functional masking units, since specificity and high affinity do not necessarily guarantee a paratope blocking effect. This strategy was used to isolate a scFv masking unit for the therapeutic antibody 6G11 (BI‐1206), which is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of B‐cell lymphoma to block the inhibitory Fcγ receptor IIB (CD32b). N‐terminal fusion of the anti‐idiotypic scFv to the 6G11 light chain successfully abolished binding to FcγRIIB in vitro. For conditional activation, a cleavable linker for the tumor‐associated protease MMP‐9 was implemented. To improve demasking efficiency, the affinity of the scFv mask was attenuated through rational design. The substitution of one key amino acid in the masking scFv reduced the affinity toward the 6G11 paratope by factor 10 but still mediated 9800‐fold blocking of receptor binding. Proteolytic demasking allowed full recovery of therapeutic antibody function in vitro, supporting the concept of conditional antibody activation using this anti‐idiotypic binding module.

Boundary CFT and tensor network approach to surface critical phenomena of the tricritical 3-state Potts model

description: One-dimensional edges of classical systems in two dimension sometimes show surprisingly rich phase transitions and critical phenomena, particularly when the bulk is at criticality. As such a model, we study the surface critical behavior of the 3-state dilute Potts model whose bulk is tuned at the tricritical point. To investigate it more precisely than in the previous works [Y. Deng and H. W. J. Blöte, Phys. Rev. E 70, 035107(R) (2004); Phys. Rev. E 71, 026109 (2005)], we analyze it from the viewpoint of the boundary conformal field theory (BCFT). The complete classification of the conformal boundary conditions for the minimal BCFTs discussed in [R. E. Behrend et al., Nucl. Phys. B 579, 707 (2000)] allows us to collect the twelve boundary fixed points in the tricritical 3-state Potts BCFT. Employing the tensor network renormalization method, we numerically study the surface phase diagram of the tricritical 3-state Potts model in detail, and reveal that the eleven boundary fixed points among the twelve can be realized on the lattice by controlling the external field and coupling strength at the boundary. The last unfound fixed point would be out of the physically sound region in the parameter space, similarly to the `new' boundary condition in the 3-state Potts BCFT.

description: Dimensional and contact resonance (CR) images of nanowire (NW) arrays are measured using our new-developed CR imaging (CRI) setup. Then a reference method is employed to calculate the indentation modulus of NWs (Mi,NW) representing the elasticity of NWs, by measuring NW arrays (NWAs) and reference samples at the same static probing force. Furthermore, topography is imaged in combination with CR and Mi,NW separately by software, whereby the relation between both parameters of NWAs is visualized. As typical examples, 3D imaging of topography and Mi,NW is performed with Si<111> pillar, Cu and ZnO NWAs. The novel method allows for fast mechanical performance measurements of large-scale vertically-aligned NW arrays (NWAs) without releasing them from their substrates.

description: Policy planners face the challenge of formulating suitable agricultural policy by which the required growth in domestic production can be achieved. To attain effective food security policy, one needs reliable empirical knowledge about the degree of responsiveness of factor demand and output supply for commodities. This paper is an attempt in this direction and estimates the factor demand and output supply elasticity for major crops grown in India. These elasticities are used to project the domestic supply of major commodities, viz. rice, wheat, pulse grains, nine major edible oilseeds, and sugarcane under various scenarios with and without acreage expansion and TFP growth. The results of supply projections are compared with the food demand and policy prescription to attain food security is suggested.

description: We have calculated the width of the rare decay $H\toγγZ$ at one-loop level in the standard model for Higgs boson masses in the range $115 {\rm GeV} \leq m_H \leq 160 {\rm GeV}$ . For this range of Higgs boson masses we find that $Z$ boson is predominantly longitudinally polarized, and the photons have the same helicity. A comparison of the decay width $Γ(H\to γγZ)$ to those of $H\toγγ$ and $H\toγZ$ shows that, for the Higgs boson mass of $m_H \sim 135 \rm{GeV}$, the ratios of the decay widths are $Γ(H\toγγZ) / Γ(H\toγγ) \sim Γ(H\toγγZ) / Γ(H\toγZ) \sim 10^{-5}-10^{-6}$.

description: Transactions of the Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, 20, 185-198
description: This article argues that the bobbin mills of the Lune Valley were effectively part of what is usually referred to as the Lakeland bobbin industry by exploring the background of men who tenanted these mills, all bar one of whom were born or worked in Cumbria. It also builds on Brockbank's case study of Staveley to assess the geographical and social mobility of these bobbin masters. The main sources for this have been digital: census material between 1841 and 1911, parish registers and newspapers supplemented by field work and archives. Hopefully it will encourage further studies of the bobbin industryâ??s workforce and their families in both Cumbria and further afield.
A meta-analysis of the effectiveness of online distance education compared to face-to-face education

description: Much of the research on educational technologies has shown that there is no significant difference in the effectiveness of learning with regards to broad notions of distance education compared with face-to-face education. Still, two issues of continuing debate are the identification of factors that have influenced these findings and methodological design flaws of experimental studies. In order to examine these two issues with regards to the effectiveness of online distance education (ODE) between 1995 and 2003, I conducted a meta-analysis of existing research. This statistical approach synthesized 23 studies from published literature and electronic data bases. This quantitative analysis provided the effect sizes for three outcome variables that measured student achievement, student satisfaction, and student dropout rates. In this research, I asked the following questions: (A) Is there a difference between the effectiveness of ODE and face-to-face (F2FE)? This question had three sub-questions: (i) Is there a difference in student achievement measured by final test scores between ODE and F2FE? (ii) Is there a difference in student satisfaction between ODE and F2FE? (iii) Is there a difference in student dropout rates between ODE and F2FE? (B) Does media influence the effectiveness of ODE? (C) Is there any evidence that proves there are methodological design flaws of experimental comparative studies in ODE? The findings are: (1) Comparison of the overall weighted mean effect size indicated that student achievement in ODE was slightly higher with no significant difference between ODE and F2FE (d = +0.023, p > 0.05); (2) Student satisfaction was lower in ODE than F2FE (d = - 0.3181, p < 0.05); (3) Dropout rate was a little higher in ODE but the difference was not significant (d = +0.1476, p > 0.05); (4) A pretest worked as a moderator that influenced student achievement more positively in ODE than F2FE. Student achievement effect size of Yes-pretest group was more positive for ODE (d = +0.211, p < 0.05) that that of No-pretest group {d=- 0.080, p>0.05); (5) Graduate courses were significantly less effective in ODE than in F2FE (d = -0.386, p < 0.05). Students in undergraduate courses of ODE achieved much higher test scores than those in F2FE (d = +0.163, p < 0.05); and (6) It could not be asserted that the methodological design of primary studies was seriously flawed.

description: Platelets are activated immediately when contacting with non-physiological surfaces. Minimization of surface-induced platelet activation is important not only for platelet storage but also for other blood-contacting devices and implants. Chemical surface modification tunes the response of cells to contacting surfaces, but it requires a long process involving many regulatory challenges to transfer into a marketable product. Biophysical modification overcomes these limitations by modifying only the surface topography of already approved materials. The available large and random structures on platelet storage bags do not cause a significant impact on platelets because of their smallest size (only 1-3 μm) compared to other cells. We have recently demonstrated the feasibility of the mask-free nanoprint fluid force microscope (FluidFM) technology for writing dot-grid and hexanol structures. Here, we demonstrated that the technique allows the fabrication of nanostructures of varying features. Characteristics of nanostructures including height, width, and cross-line were analyzed and compared using atomic force microscopy imaging. Based on the results, we identified several technical issues, such as the printing direction and shape of structures that directly altered nanofeatures during printing. We confirmed that FluidFM is a powerful technique to precisely fabricate a variety of desired nanostructures for the development of platelet/blood-contacting devices if technical issues during printing are well controlled.

description: Many of the buildings in a historic town such as Penrith are linked with the development of that place through their use for a specific function or, in the case of domestic dwellings, through the people who resided there. In this article I explore the history of the house named 'Skiddaw Grove' which as well as being the home for some of Penrith's most distinguished residents was also commandeered during the First World War for use as a military hospital. Through a detailed study of primary documents, such as deeds, and the local newspapers, it is possible to shed considerable light on the history of this house and which, despite its relatively recent Victorian construction, had a small but important role in the history of Penrith itself.

description: A gauged $U(1)_X$ symmetry appended to the Standard Model (SM) is particularly well-motivated since it can account for the light neutrino masses by the seesaw mechanism, explain the origin of baryon asymmetry of the universe via leptogenesis, and help implement successful cosmological inflation with the $U(1)_X$ breaking Higgs field as the inflaton. In this framework, we propose a light dark matter (DM) scenario in which the $U(1)_X$ gauge boson $Z^\prime$ behaves as a DM particle in the universe. We discuss how this scenario with $Z^\prime$ mass of a few keV and a $U(1)_X$ gauge coupling $g_X \simeq 10^{-16}$ can nicely fit the excess in the electronic recoil energy spectrum recently reported by the XENON1T collaboration. In order to reproduce the observed DM relic density in the presence of such a tiny gauge coupling, we propose an extension of the model to a two-component DM scenario. The $Z^\prime$ DM density can be comparable to the observed DM density by the freeze-in mechanism through the coupling of $Z^\prime$ boson to a partner Higgs-portal scalar DM with a large $U(1)_X$ charge.

description: Transactions of the Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, 20, 213-226
description: Although there has been some discussion on workmen's trains in Cumbria during the period 1914-1918, there has been surprising little relating to the town of Millom. This article explores how the Millom to Barrow workmen's trains were initiated and considers their effects upon the town and the travelling workforce. Looking first at the pre-war period and then examining the First World War and the Armistice, the subjects of housing, Belgian refugees, munitions work and conditions on the railway are addressed. In researching this article, the regional press has been examined extensively, particularly the Millom Gazette, which provides a mass of evidence and reflects public opinion. It is hoped that this article will add colour to the wartime history of Millom, an underrepresented part of the county of Cumbria.

description: The paper has estimated the feed consumption rates for different livestock species by age-group, sex, and function at the national level, and based on that the paper has generated demand for different types of feed by the year 2020. According to this study, by 2020 India would require a total 526 million tonnes (Mt) of dry matter, 855 Mt of green fodder, and 56 Mt of concentrate feed (comprising 27.4 Mt of cereals, 4.0 Mt of pulses, 20.6 Mt of oilseeds, oilcakes and meals, and 3.6 Mt of manufactured feed). In terms of nutrients, this translates into 738 Mt of dry matter, 379 Mt of total digestible nutrients and 32 Mt of digestible crude protein. The estimates of demand for different feeds will help the policymakers of the country in designing trade strategy to maximize benefits from livestock production.

Defining $λ\equiv |V^{\prime}(ϕ_i)/V(ϕ_i)|$ and $K \equiv \sqrt{1 - 4V^{\prime \prime}(ϕ_i)/3V(ϕ_i)}$, where $ϕ_i$ is the initial value of $ϕ$, we find regions of parameter space consistent with both observational data and with the refined de Sitter conjecture, and we show that all such models satisfy the distance conjecture. We quantify the degree of fine-tuning on $λ$ needed to achieve these results.

description: User equilibrium is a central concept for studying transportation networks, and one can view it as the result of a dynamical process of drivers' route choice behavior. In this paper, based on a definition of O-D First-In-First-Out violation, we propose a new dynamical system model of the route choice behavior at the aggregate, route level for both static and dynamic transportation networks. An equilibrium of such a dynamical system can be a user equilibrium or a partial user equilibrium. We prove that, for static, symmetric traffic assignment problem with fixed or variable demand, only user equilibria are stable for the dynamical system, and the objective function in the mathematical programming formulation (Beckmann, McGuire, and Winsten, 1956) can be considered as the potential energy of the dynamical system. We then present an Euler-based perturbation method for finding user equilibrium and solve two examples for both static and dynamic traffic assignment problems. This new model is simple in form and could be applied to analyze other properties of transportation networks.

description: The internal decoration of Blackwell, a Baillie Scott house at Bowness-on-Windermere, is described and analysed, with particular emphasis on Rowan as a decorative motif and Pedunculate Oak as a decorative timber. The architect's palette was largely restricted to the flowers and fruits of Lakeland hedgerows, and some common garden plants. A single set of designs was probably produced for all the decorative features and these were botanically informed and accurate, but only to an extent consistent with high aesthetic merit. Variation in the depiction of the same plant species in woodcarvings in different rooms, especially ceiling bosses, suggests that individual carvers (presumed to be from the firm of Arthur Simpson, Kendal) interpreted the architect's basic designs differently in terms of style and accuracy. It is concluded that Blackwell's internal decoration represents a design tour de force and a fine example of the creative synergy between plant science and design.

description: Transactions of the Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, 20, 251-274
description: During the 1930s MI5 became increasingly concerned about Soviet infiltration in government-related organisations and about the arrival of large numbers of communist sympathisers amongst the refugee populations fleeing Nazism. In June 1940 two employees of the Czech Refugee Trust Fund, Yvonne Kapp and Margaret Mynatt, were dismissed because of their communist sympathies. The two women travelled to Howtown where they spent the next four months. Their choice of Howtown may have been influenced by the suffragist Catherine Marshall of Hawse End whom they knew through their refugee work. During the summer, while at Howtown, they wrote a polemic against the government's policy towards refugees. The security services showed little further interest in them until they returned to London in October 1940. MI5 then began to wonder what they had been doing while at Howtown and became concerned at the opportunities they had had to meet with refugees from Czechoslovakia who were living in the area. An investigation followed and despite uncovering what could be construed as suspicious activity, MI5 was unable to establish that there had been any breach of the nation's security. Kapp and Mynatt, however, remained of interest to the security services well into the era of the Cold War.

description: The inter-linkages amongst agricultural productivity, rural poverty and nutritional security have been analysed based on a study of Bagalkot district of Karnataka state using primary data for the agricultural year 2005-06 obtained from 120 farm households. The data have been processed using ratios, frequencies, percentages, regression analysis and probit model. Agricultural productivity has negatively and significantly influenced rural poverty at the farm level. Low agricultural productivity is the root cause of rural poverty. Household size and number of dependents therein have positively influenced rural poverty. Optimization of household size or increase in the number of earning members of the household would reduce poverty. Nutritional security is greatly influenced by the level of rural poverty. To upgrade the nutritional status of households, the study has suggested that effective poverty alleviation programmes aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity through transfer of productive assets instead of consumer goods to the poor, should be launched and effectively monitored. Agricultural credit being an important aspect of productivity, appropriate steps should be taken to increase the access of rural households to financial institutions.

description: In 2014, the Regional Heritage Centre (RHC) of Lancaster University embarked on an ambitious project to digitise the transcripts of three significant oral history projects carried out by Elizabeth Roberts, and latterly by her colleague Lucinda McCray Beier, in the 1970s and 1980s. Focusing on the recollections of family and social life in Barrow-in-Furness, Lancaster and Preston from 1890 to 1940 and 1940 to 1970, the collection of 584 interviews with over 260 respondents - totalling three million words - was renamed the Elizabeth Roberts Working Class Oral History Archive. Incorporating the original indices and biographical details of each (anonymised) respondent, it offers a rich resource for historians of working-class life in North-West England, and of social history more broadly. The index includes topics ranging from abortions to world war experiences (although the wars were seldom the focus of discussion) through fairs and ice cream. Popular digital searches include such themes as accidents, schools, weavers, family planning and pace egging. Contained in the interviews is vital information about long-lived customs that are now dying out from our communal memory.

description: Software systems nowadays are complex and difficult to maintain due to continuous changes and bad design choices. To handle the complexity of systems, software products are, in general, decomposed in terms of packages/modules containing classes that are dependent. However, it is challenging to automatically remodularize systems to improve their maintainability. The majority of existing remodularization work mainly satisfy one objective which is improving the structure of packages by optimizing coupling and cohesion. In addition, most of existing studies are limited to only few operation types such as move class and split packages. Many other objectives, such as the design semantics, reducing the number of changes and maximizing the consistency with development change history, are important to improve the quality of the software by remodularizing it. In this paper, we propose a novel many-objective search-based approach using NSGA-III. The process aims at finding the optimal remodularization solutions that improve the structure of packages, minimize the number of changes, preserve semantics coherence, and re-use the history of changes. We evaluate the efficiency of our approach using four different open-source systems and one automotive industry project, provided by our industrial partner, through a quantitative and qualitative study conducted with software engineers.

description: The following is a belated record of a small investigation carried out by the CWAAS SW group in 1991, when the late Richard Bellhouse suggested the group investigate a cropmark at NGR NX 9895 2425. This was photographed from the air in 1981 by the late Professor Barri Jones. The photograph appeared to show the corner of a Roman milefortlet, just south of Harrington on the Cumbrian coast between Whitehaven and Workington. A field walk over the site and an investigation with a soil auger gave no indication of anything Roman, or that the cropmark was anything other than extra growth in the crop caused by uneven application of fertiliser.

description: Climate change, population growth, urbanisation and water pollution will exacerbate the closely linked challenges of water quantity and water quality. The River Spree in Berlin, Germany, experiences recurrent low flow conditions in summer with seasonal flow reversals in certain sections of the river. This reverse flow leads to the transport of treated wastewater to upstream sections of River Spree and possibly to the introduction of treated wastewater into Lake Müggelsee, which is located upstream of the city centre and important for drinking water production via bank filtration in Berlin. A better understanding of the flow and contaminant dynamics in River Spree is required, but field data on the reverse flow are still lacking. In 2022 and 2023, we collected surface water samples to quantify major ions and trace organic contaminants. Over a period of nine months in 2023, we also measured the specific electrical conductivity at six locations with a temporal resolution of five minutes. During summer, the specific electrical conductivity increased at the sampling locations in River Spree upstream of the mouth of the wastewater‐impaired River Erpe. The specific electrical conductivity proved to be an indicative parameter for the seasonal dynamics of reverse flow periods. During reverse flow, we observed increased concentrations of wastewater‐derived trace organic contaminants, many of which correlated positively with the specific electrical conductivity. Strong differences in the reverse flow intensity between 2022 and 2023 indicate that both precipitation and discharge of the River Spree upstream of Lake Müggelsee have a strong influence on the reverse flow. This study demonstrates the applicability of easy‐to‐measure specific electrical conductivity as a proxy for hydrological conditions and chemical water quality.

description: The economic returns to investment made in soil and water conservation research have been analyzed. Technologies such as conservation furrow, residue incorporation have been found to be economically viable under farmers’ conditions. The study has covered four locations, viz. Agra and Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, Kota in Rajasthan and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh. The economic surplus analysis has revealed that when adopted on a large scale, soil and water conservation technologies generate significant economic surplus as reflected in high NPV and BC ratio. The share of producer surplus has been found to be higher in the total economic surplus generated from technology adoption. Thus, investments in generation and transfer of soil and water conservation technologies have been found be justified in terms of economic benefits. However, various constraints that hamper adoption of these technologies are to be addressed so that the potential benefits could be realized by both farmer and consumer.
Probabilistic thinking in a grade four/five class
Creators: name: Nicolson, Cynthia Pratt
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this case study, a class of 28 grade four and five students participated in a three-week instructional unit on probability. As a teacher/researcher, I conducted six sessions during which students investigated probability through games and experiments using spinners and dice. As demonstrated in their spoken and written comments before, during and after the instructional unit, many of these children held deep misconceptions about randomness and chance that affected their ability to grasp the concepts being presented. Several students expressed the belief that one number on a single die was harder to roll than others, and approximately half the class indicated that the arrangement (contiguous or non-contiguous) of shaded segments on spinners alters their probable outcomes. In some cases, concrete experimentation seemed to confirm intuitions that contradicted probability theory, or even seemed to undermine developing concepts. Common misconceptions, fragile student knowledge, student-caused bias in trials, time constraints and gaps in teacher knowledge are described as major challenges to the successful learning and teaching of probability at this grade level. This thesis questions current thinking about appropriate timing and pedagogy for probability instruction, addresses ideas for further research, and suggests an alternative approach to early probability instruction. Personal reflections highlight the challenges faced by teachers as they tackle probability theory.

description: This study examines the quality assurance (QA) practices of cross-border construction logistics and supply chain (Cb-CLSC) amid the pandemic by adopting an embedded mixed-method design involving a comprehensive desk literature review and experts across the Hong Kong–Mainland China links. The study revealed 10 critical QA practices, with the top three critical practices comprising 'understanding requirements, norms, and standards of quality', 'assigning clear responsibilities to qualified workers' and 'recording and documenting work processes, project routine, and seamless implementations'. This attained a relatively good percentage agreement of 55% between the industry and academia. Sentiment analysis denoted the impacts of the pandemic to be largely neutral, i.e. the created opportunities neutralise the negative impacts. This study deepens the understanding of the subject matter to help practitioners, researchers and policymakers develop innovative approaches and make operational decisions to position QA adequately for the post-pandemic era and endure the risks of future pandemics.
