description: The study was conducted for the assessment of marketing system of summer tomato in Jashore. Summer tomato had high demand and high value crop in summer season among the consumers. Data were collected from 30 randomly selected tomato farmers and 60 traders from different market of Jashore district of Bangladesh during July-October, 2019. Farmer, faria, bepari, wholesaler, commission agents and retailer were involved in marketing of summer tomato. Marketing cost of farmar, faria, bepari, wholesaler, retailer (urban) and retailer (rural) were 430.00, 691.00, 2184.00, 2443.00, 1857.00 and 1074.00 Tk ton-1, respectively. Net margin or profit of the faria, bepari, wholesaler and retailer were 1300.00, 817.00, 557.00 and 2143.00 Tk ton-1, respectively. There were seven marketing channel exist in tomato marketing. Total marketing cost of all intermediaries was 7604.00 Tk ton-1 and net margin was 4826.00 Tk ton-1. Marketing efficiency was 2.25. Price spread between consumer paid and producer received was 8000.00 Tk ton-1. On the other hand, producer share was 78 percent. Spoilage and damage, transportation and packaging were the main marketing problem of summer tomato.

description: "A Certain Realism: Aldwyth's Artistic Epistemologies" is the first scholarly work about the art and artistry of Aldwyth (b. 1935), a contemporary American collage and assemblage artist living and working in Hilton Head, South Carolina. In it, I articulate the ways in which Aldwyth's art and artistry order and disorder structures of knowledge about art and art history through the use of visual conceits of the encyclopedia, the constellation map, and the Megaloponera foetens, also known as the Cameroonian stink ant. Through this work, I aim to provide a critical platform upon which future scholarly and curatorial work on Aldwyth can be undertaken while showcasing the aesthetic and conceptual power of Aldwyth's work to wider audiences.

description: We prove a central limit theorem for a class of additive processes that arise naturally in the theory of finite horizon Markov decision problems. The main theorem generalizes a classic result of Dobrushin (1956) for temporally non-homogeneous Markov chains, and the principal innovation is that here the summands are permitted to depend on both the current state and a bounded number of future states of the chain. We show through several examples that this added flexibility gives one a direct path to asymptotic normality of the optimal total reward of finite horizon Markov decision problems. The same examples also explain why such results are not easily obtained by alternative Markovian techniques such as enlargement of the state space.

“Bad Seed or Bad Soil”: The Influence of Dark Personality and Exposure to Violence on Offending in Justice-Involved Youth
Creators: name: Smith, Curtis

Year: 2021

description: Increasing awareness of the prevalence of exposure to violence in justice-involved youth has raised questions about the myriad factors that predict offending behavior. While many studies have identified exposure to violence as an important precursor to violent offending, few studies have explored the mechanisms explaining this relationship. The present research investigates the mediating effect of malevolent or “dark” personality traits on the relationship between exposure to violence and two types of offending behavior (violent and nonviolent). Data from the Pathways to Desistance project, a longitudinal study of 1,354 adjudicated youth, was used to test both models. Regression analyses confirmed the mediating role of dark personality in the exposure to violence to offending association. Implications for juvenile justice proceedings, rehabilitation, and future research are discussed.

description: We investigate the decay of $f_1(1285) \to πK \bar K$ with the assumption that the $f_1(1285)$ is dynamically generated from the $K^* \bar{K} - cc$ interaction. In addition to the tree level diagrams that proceed via $f_1(1285) \to K^* \bar{K} - cc \to πK \bar K$, we take into account also the final state interactions of $K \bar K \to K \bar K$ and $πK \to πK$. The partial decay width and mass distributions of $f_1(1285) \to πK \bar K$ are evaluated. We get a value for the partial decay width which, within errors, is in fair agreement with the experimental result. The contribution from the tree level diagrams is dominant, but the final state interactions have effects in the mass distributions. The predicted mass distributions are significantly different from phase space and tied to the $K^* \bar{K} - cc$ nature of the $f_1(1285)$ state.

description: Rapid declines in biological and cultural diversity are occurring across the globe, highlighting the opportunity and need to conserve connected ‘biocultural’ diversity. Following European colonization in 1788, Australia has had one of the world’s worst records in biocultural diversity decline. Today, only 13 from 250 Indigenous languages are considered strong; and 100 endemic species have gone extinct, with over a thousand species listed as threatened. Across Australia, land is increasingly being handed back to Indigenous Traditional Owners, and Indigenous Protected Areas comprise 44% of Australia’s National Reserve System. Despite significant investments in Indigenous land management, there is a paucity of research that respectfully combines Indigenous knowledge and Western science to address Australia’s biocultural decline. This thesis aims to address this gap through a collaboration between the author and the Yirralka Rangers from the Laynhapuy Indigenous Protected Area, north-east Arnhem Land. We documented and mapped Indigenous knowledge of six mammal species in the critical weight range: Isoodon macrourus, Trichosurus vulpecula, Dasyurus hallucatus, Sminthopsis virginae, Mesmbriomys gouldii, and Melomys burtoni. Combining Indigenous knowledge and Western science, species distribution models for two well-known and culturally significant species (wan’kurra (I. macourus) and marrŋu (T. v. arnhemensis)) were produced. Our cross-cultural assessment of critical weight range mammals showed that despite some species being considered of least concern from a Western conservation perspective, Indigenous knowledge holders had not seen them in recent times, suggesting the need for a more inclusive and holistic approach to assessment of species conservation status, especially on Indigenous owned and managed lands. Indigenous knowledge holders maintained stronger knowledge of species with cultural significance demonstrating links between biological and cultural knowledge and conservation. This project showed that efforts to understand and address biocultural diversity, in partnership with Indigenous knowledge holders, offers a new transformative approach to biocultural conservation in Australia.

description: The influence of the transient thermal effects on the partition of the energy of selfrecoils in germanium and silicon into energy eventually given to electrons and to atomic recoils respectively is studied. The transient effects are treated in the frame of the thermal spike model, which considers the electronic and atomic subsystems coupled through the electron - phonon interaction. For low energies of selfrecoils, we show that the corrections to the energy partition curves due to the energy exchange during the transient processes modify the Lindhard predictions. These effects depend on the initial temperature of the target material, as the energies exchanged between electronic and lattice subsystems have different signs for temperatures lower and higher than about 15 K. Many of the experimental data reported in the literature support the model.

description: Low level or no use of organic and inorganic fertilizers and serious imbalances soil nutrients, depressed potato yields and pose accelerated mining of native soil nutrients. Present on-farm studies was undertaken to observe the combined effects of FYM and compost along with inorganic fertilizers, particularly NPSB on potato production. The experiment comprised of seven treatments: No fertilizer, recommended NP (115 kg N and 92 kg ha-1 P2O5), NPSB (115 kg N and 92 kg P2O5, 6.5 kg S. and 0.71 kg B ha-1), 10 tone FYM ha-1, 10 tone compost ha-1, 5 tone FYM + 50% NPSB (57.5 kg N and 92 kg P2O5 ha-1), and 5 tone compost + 50% NPSB ha-1 were arranged in RCBD with three replications. The yield and yield components were collected and subjected to mean separation and economic analysis. The analysis of variance indicated that either applied organic and inorganic fertilizers combined or alone significantly (p ≤ 0.05) improved potato yield at Chena. Full dose of each FYM and compost, recommended NP rate and NPSB gave similar potato yield. The highest average marketable and total fresh potato tuber yield (27.44, 27.92 t ha-1, respectively) were recorded by combined application of 5 t FYM ha-1 with 50% NPSB (115 kg N and 92 kg P2O5, 6.5 kg S. and 0.71 kg B ha-1) which is economically acceptable with MRR (1239.7%), whereas the lowest tuber yield (14.45 t ha-1) was obtained from unfertilized plot. Hence, combined application of 50% FYM and 50% NPSB proved best potato yield in the study area.

Quantum phase transition in a shallow one-dimensional optical lattice

description: In this article the extended Bose-Hubbard model describing ultra-cold atoms confined in a shallow, one-dimensional optical lattice is introduced and studied by the exact diagonalization approach. All parameters of the model are related to the only relevant parameter controlled experimentally -- the depth of the optical potential. Changes in a shape of the insulating lobe in the phase diagram of the system are explored and the value of the critical tunneling for which the system undergoes the phase transition (from the insulating to the superfluid phase) is predicted. It is shown that the value of critical tunneling is substantially affected by the presence of the tunnelings to distant sites of the optical lattice. The results may have some importance in upcoming experiments on quantum quench through phase transition points.

description: S4 Figure. Bayesian cladogram inferred with the nodZ and nolL loci (SI). The tree is rooted with homologous sequences from Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099. Only nodulating isolates are included in the SI tree since the SI loci could not be amplified for the isolates that failed to form nodules. Four species-like clades are identified with the outermost curved bars. A continuous measure of nitrogen fixation is indicated on the tips of the tree, via colored rectangles (colored rectangles = significant nitrogen fixation, white rectangles = no significant nitrogen fixation). Ancestral nodes are labeled and numbered for all clades with Bayesian posterior probabilities ≥0.80. Ancestral states for nitrogen fixation (on A. strigosus) are estimated for all well-supported internal nodes using maximum likelihood. Proportional likelihood of the nitrogen fixation is reported via the color of the node labels. In the parsimony analysis all 18 well-supported ancestral nodes were inferred to be nitrogen fixing. See S4 Table for full parsimony analysis, node support values, and proportional likelihood values of ancestral states of nitrogen fixation. Each of the four major clades on the symbiosis island tree exhibited evidence of incongruence with the chromosomal phylogeny, consistent with recurrent transfer of the symbiosis island among chromosomal lineages (S2,4,5 Figures). In particular, the largest clade on the symbiosis island tree (i.e., SI clade 11, pp=0.88) encompassed only B. canariense isolates but for three exceptions, consistent with horizontal transfer of the SI (i.e., #132, B. spp. nov. X; #175, B. spp. nov. II; #185, B. liaoningense). Similarly, the next largest symbiosis island clade (i.e., node 14, pp=1.00) encompassed mostly B. spp. nov. I and related chromosomal taxa, but for one exception consistent with horizontal transfer of the SI (i.e., #149, B. canariense).

description: This thesis analyzed the COVID-19 pandemic and its prevalent issues in both US and China. What the COVID-19 pandemic made visible is an alarming side of the political ideologies in both countries. It came to the conclusion that, for China, while solidarity gives the nation the strength to defeat the pandemic, a top-down censorship is penetrated into the collective mentality. For the United States, a greater sense of community embodied in mutual obligation and shared sacrifice is much needed to combat the pandemic. Furthermore, more public trust in science and a more accurate appreciation of the harm to others that is caused by ignoring mask-wearing mandates and social distancing regulations.

A simplified yet accurate method allows calculation of fluctuations in systems much larger than what was considered feasible in a well-known and already existing model. The calculations produce clusters. The distribution of clusters is remarkably similar to that obtained in equilibrium statistical model.

description: Lipids play various essential roles in the physiology of animals. They are also highly dependent on cellular metabolism or status. It is therefore crucial to understand to which extent animals can stabilize their lipid composition in the presence of external stressors, such as chemicals that are released into the environment. We developed a MALDI MS imaging workflow for two important aquatic model organisms, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) and water flea (Daphnia magna). Owing to the heterogeneous structure of these organisms, developing a suitable sample preparation workflow is a highly non-trivial but crucial part of this work and needs to be established first. Relevant parameters and practical considerations in order to preserve tissue structure and composition in tissue sections are discussed for each application. All measurements were based on high mass accuracy enabling reliable identification of imaged compounds. In zebrafish we demonstrate that a detailed mapping between histology and simultaneously determined lipid composition is possible at various scales, from extended structures such as the brain or gills down to subcellular structures such as a single axon in the central nervous system. For D. magna we present for the first time a MALDI MSI workflow, that demonstrably maintains tissue integrity during cryosectioning of non-preserved samples, and allows the mapping of lipids in the entire body and the brood chamber inside the carapace. In conclusion, the lipid signatures that we were able to detect with our method provide an ideal basis to analyze changes caused by pollutants in two key aquatic model organisms.

Fermi surface pockets are observed with a total electron count in keeping with that expected from La substitution. Depending on the energy and polarization of the incident photons, these pockets show up in the form of disconnected "Fermi arcs", reminiscent of those reported recently in surface electron-doped Sr2IrO4. Our observed spectral variation is consistent with the coexistence of an electronic supermodulation with structural distortion in the system.

description: Future surveys of large-scale structure will be able to measure perturbations on the scale of the cosmological horizon, and so could potentially probe a number of novel relativistic effects that are negligibly small on sub-horizon scales. These effects leave distinctive signatures in the power spectra of clustering observables and, if measurable, would open a new window on relativistic cosmology. We quantify the size and detectability of the effects for the most relevant future large-scale structure experiments: spectroscopic and photometric galaxy redshift surveys, intensity mapping surveys of neutral hydrogen, and radio continuum surveys. Our forecasts show that next-generation experiments, reaching out to redshifts $z\simeq 4$, will not be able to detect previously-undetected general-relativistic effects by using individual tracers of the density field, although the contribution of weak lensing magnification on large scales should be clearly detectable. We also perform a rigorous joint forecast for the detection of primordial non-Gaussianity through the excess power it produces in the clustering of biased tracers on large scales, finding that uncertainties of $σ(f_{\rm NL})\sim 1-2$ should be achievable. We study the level of degeneracy of these large-scale effects with several tracer-dependent nuisance parameters, quantifying the minimal priors on the latter that are needed for an optimal measurement of the former. Finally, we discuss the systematic effects that must be mitigated to achieve this level of sensitivity, and some alternative approaches that should help to improve the constraints. The computational tools developed to carry out this study, which requires the full-sky computation of the theoretical angular power spectra for $\mathcal{O}(100)$ redshift bins, as well as realistic models of the luminosity function, are publicly available.

description: A study that involved 129 female cancer patients above the age of 18 in Qatar found that the majority (88%) perceived psychosocial support as an important aspect of treatment. The respondents rated family support (92%) followed by religious support and support groups (86% each) as the most important support categories in their views.According to Qatar’s 2010 census, only 1.7% of its population are over the age of 60. This percentage is expected to increase ten-fold by 2050, which could have significant implications for cancer care.Cancers account for 18% of total deaths in Qatar. This high percentage is thought to be due to misconceptions about the disease that act as social and practical barriers to early screening. In fact, Qatar has a higher breast cancer mortality rate than other larger Arab states such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.A team of researchers in Qatar and the UK surveyed 129 female patients undergoing cancer treatment at Doha’s National Center for Cancer Care and Research to determine the level of importance they give to psychosocial support as part of their care strategy.Breast cancer was the most common diagnosis (63.6%) among the respondents. The majority (59.7%) identified as Muslim followed by 37.2% identifying as Christian. Most respondents (88.4%) perceived psychosocial support as being an important aspect of care.Four support categories were included in the questionnaire: family support, religious support, support groups and physician-referred support. Muslim and Arab patients together with those diagnosed with breast cancer deemed religious support as the most important in their view. Christian and non-Arab patients together with those diagnosed with other types of cancer favoured support groups as the most important category.Sixty-seven per cent of the respondents indicated that they would like to receive psychosocial support. Twenty-six per cent did not show a preference for any particular type, but 20% preferred receiving religious support, another 20% preferred receiving physician-referred support, and 13% indicated they would like to receive all four forms of support.Further research is still required with the aim of improving cancer patient care in Qatar, as “this research serves as only a glimpse into this multifaceted area of patient care…,” the researchers write in their study published in the Qatar Medical Journal. For example, future research could investigate the engagement of families in patient support and examine the potential of including religious support as part of their care, they say.Other InformationPublished in: QScience.com Highlights, Published by Nature Research for Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)

description: In this essay we examine the response of an Unruh-DeWitt detector (a quantum two-level system) to a gravitational wave background. The spectrum of the Unruh-Dewitt detector is of the same form as some scattering processes or three body decays such as muon-electron scattering or muon decay. Based on this similarity we propose that the Unruh-DeWitt detector response implies a "decay" or attenuation of gravitons, $G$, into photons, $γ$, via $G + G \rightarrow γ+ γ$ or $G \rightarrow γ+ γ+ G$. Over large distances such a decay/attenuation may have consequences in regard to the detection of gravitational waves.

ABCDEF Bundle Use in the Management of Delirium in the Critically Ill: An Integrative Review
Creators: name: Yunker, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of the ABCDEF bundle, when implemented in the ICU setting, to reduce mechanical ventilation, manage and prevent delirium, and adjust sedation.

Background: ICU delirium is a common hospital problem that 80% of critically ill patients in the ICU experience. Several tools and guidelines have been developed to prevent and manage ICU delirium and the risk factors associated with delirium. The ABCDEF bundle is one of the tools that came out of the Pain, Agitation and Delirium guidelines to manage critically ill patients. 

Design: Literature review of published scholarly articles. 

Outcome Measures: ABCDEF bundle use in correspondence with ICU delirium days, days of mechanical ventilation, and type of sedation in relation to delirium days. 

Methods: PubMed, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library electronic databases were used to research the ABCDEF bundle and its association with ICU delirium, mechanical ventilation time, and sedation. Articles published within the last ten years, 2011-2021, that met inclusion criteria were included within this literature review. 

Results: Of the 14 articles included within the literature review, all were in support of the ABCDEF bundle and its use in the ICU setting. 

Conclusions: The ABCDEF bundle is recommended for use in the ICU setting. ABCDEF bundle use and compliance have been found to significantly reduce the number of days mechanical ventilation is required, has reduced delirium prevalence, and has allowed for successful sedation adjustments to reduce the risk for delirium.
Do Tight Rules and Social Identification Increase Norm Adherence in Online Communities?

description: As the world has become digital, so have social interactions and social norms. Previous literature has identified the antecedents of following norms in social interactions, but it is still unclear whether these factors can predict norm adherence online. This paper aims to experimentally test how two factors that have been implicated in norm adherence—tight rules and social identification—relate to norm adherence in online communities. We conducted two studies to assess how people responded to online norms in conversations about political and non-political topics, and how these responses varied on the basis of tight rules and social identification. We measured norm adherence through engagement with normative topics of discussion online. Using a text analysis approach, we detected keywords relating to the topics of discussion, and measured each participants’ frequency of keyword matches. Study 1 showed that tight rules did not predict norm adherence online. We found mixed evidence for the role of social identification in norm adherence. In both studies, racial minorities engaged in normative topics less than white participants. However, Study 2 showed that relationship was not mediated by social identification, and social identification did not predict norm adherence. These studies suggest that new factors might be implicated in norm adherence within online communities.

description: To overcome the performance degradation of adaptive filtering algorithms in the presence of impulsive noise, a novel normalized sign algorithm (NSA) based on a convex combination strategy, called NSA-NSA, is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm is capable of solving the conflicting requirement of fast convergence rate and low steady-state error for an individual NSA filter. To further improve the robustness to impulsive noises, a mixing parameter updating formula based on a sign cost function is derived. Moreover, a tracking weight transfer scheme of coefficients from a fast NSA filter to a slow NSA filter is proposed to speed up the convergence rate. The convergence behavior and performance of the new algorithm are verified by theoretical analysis and simulation studies.

description: We present the results of a novel Mossbauer experiment in a rotating system, implemented recently in Istanbul University, which yields the coefficient k=0.69+/-0.02 within the frame of the expression for the relative energy shift between emission and absorption lines dE/E=ku2/c2. This result turned out to be in a quantitative agreement with an experiment achieved earlier on the subject matter (A.L. Kholmetskii et al. 2009 Phys. Scr. 79 065007), and once again strongly pointed to the inequality k>0.5, revealed originally in (A.L. Kholmetskii et al. 2008 Phys. Scr. 77, 035302 (2008)) via the re-analysis of Kundig experiment (W. Kundig. Phys. Rev. 129, 2371 (1963)). A possible explanation of the deviation of the coefficient k from the relativistic prediction k=0.5 is discussed.
