description: The GSO projection in the twisted sector of orbifold background is sometimes subtle and incompatible descriptions are found in literatures. Here, from the equivalence of partition functions in NSR and GS formalisms, we give a simple rule of GSO projection for the chiral rings of string theory in $\C^r/\Z_n$, $r=1,2,3$. Necessary constructions of chiral rings are given by explicit mode analysis.

description: BepiColombo ESA/JAXA mission is currently in its 7 year cruise phase towards Mercury. The Mercury orbiter radioscience experiment (MORE), one of the 16 experiments of the mission, will start its scientific investigation during the superior solar conjunction (SSC) in March 2021 with a test of general relativity (GR). Other solar conjunctions will follow during the cruise phase, providing several opportunities to improve the results of the first experiment. MORE radio tracking system allows to establish precise ranging and Doppler measurements almost at all solar elongation angles (up to 7-8 solar radii), thus providing an accurate measurement of the relativistic time delay and frequency shift experienced by a radio signal during an SSC. The final objective of the experiment is to place new limits to the accuracy of the GR as a theory of gravity in the weak-field limit. As in all gravity experiments, non-gravitational accelerations acting on the spacecraft are a major concern. Because of the proximity to the Sun, the spacecraft will undergo severe solar radiation pressure acceleration, and the effect of the random fluctuations of the solar irradiance may become a significant source of spacecraft buffeting. In this paper we address the problem of a realistic estimate of the outcome of the SSC experiments of BepiColombo, by including in the dynamical model the effects of random variations in the solar irradiance. We propose a numerical method to mitigate the impact of the variable solar radiation pressure on the outcome of the experiment. Our simulations show that, with different assumptions on the solar activity and observation coverage, the accuracy attainable in the estimation of $γ$ lays in the range $[6, 13]\cdot10^{-6}$.

description: Plant tissue culture biotechnology offers a sustainable way to adapt to climate change by propagating disease-free plants with the desired traits. This study investigated stakeholders’ agronomic, social and economic evaluation of tissue culture plants (TCPs). It unravels micro-level outcomes and indicators that determine TCPs evaluation through a systematic literature review. The 35 articles examined show an imbalance of studies in the three evaluation streams, with social studies on horticultural crops, especially bananas in developing countries, dominating. The results of the TCPs evaluation vary considerably between stakeholders. The main determinants of evaluation are TCPs attributes. TCPs are very knowledge-intensive and costly to establish and manage. Therefore, customising of TCPs to local conditions and closer collaboration between stakeholders are essential for successful implementation. Advisory services, social entrepreneurship and networks are needed to create knowledge-sharing platforms and ecosystems. While single-stream evaluations reveal TCPs superiority over conventionally propagated crops, it is suggested that an integrated assessment be undertaken to combine social, economic, and agronomic indicators and evaluate the technology simultaneously.

description: Galactic outflows are thought to eject baryons back out to the circum-galactic medium (CGM). Studies based on metal absorption lines (MgII in particular) in the spectra of background quasars indicate that the gas is ejected anisotropically, with galactic winds likely leaving the host in a bi-conical flow perpendicular to the galaxy disk. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of an outflow from a z = 0.7 "green-valley" galaxy (log($M_*$/$\mathrm{M}_\odot$) = 9.9; SFR = 0.5 $\mathrm{M}_\odot\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}$) probed by two background sources part of the MUSE Gas Flow and Wind (MEGAFLOW) survey. Thanks to a fortuitous configuration with a background quasar (SDSSJ1358+1145) and a bright background galaxy at $z = 1.4$, both at impact parameters of $\approx 15\,\mathrm{kpc}$, we can - for the first time - probe both the receding and approaching components of a putative galactic outflow around a distant galaxy. We measure a significant velocity shift between the MgII absorption from the two sightlines ($84\pm17\,\mathrm{km}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}$), which is consistent with the expectation from our simple fiducial wind model, possibly combined with an extended disk contribution.

description: We compute the crossover exponent $ϕ$ describing the crossover from the random-exchange to the random-field critical behavior in Ising systems. For this purpose, we consider the field-theoretical approach based on the replica method, and perform a six-loop calculation in the framework of a fixed-dimension expansion. The crossover from random-exchange to random-field critical behavior has been observed in dilute anisotropic antiferromagnets, such as Fe$_x$Zn$_{1-x}$F$_2$ and Mn$_x$Zn$_{1-x}$F$_2$, when applying an external magnetic field. Our result $ϕ=1.42(2)$ for the crossover exponent is in good agreement with the available experimental estimates.

description: Introduction: For patients bitten by a Green Pit Viper (GPV), the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) guideline suggests a physician order blood tests immediately after the ED arrival and repeat them 2 h later, if initial results are normal. If repeat tests remain normal, the patient can be discharged and scheduled for outpatient-follow-up at 24, 48 and 72 h. Objectives: To determine the probability of abnormal blood tests at the second draw (2 h after the first draw), and to determine the probability of adverse events within 24+/−12 h among those discharged home for outpatient-follow-up. Methods: This retrospective study included patients with a history of GPV (Trimeresurus albolabris or Trimeresurus macrops) bite who were 15 years or older presenting to our ED from 2008 to 2015. We excluded those with other types of animal bites or those with missing medical records. Results: 320 cases were included. The majority were male (56.3%) and median age was 44 years old. There were only 4 cases (1.3%) with abnormal venous clotting time (VCT) or platelet count (PC) at the second blood draws when the first test results were normal. Of those discharged after the second blood draws came back normal, and who had outpatient follow-up at 24+/−12 h, 3 had minor adverse events and none received antivenom. Conclusions: This study showed a very low probability of abnormal test results 2 h after initial tests. However, they were still needed if the first tests were done too early. This study also confirms the safety of the guideline’s recommendation for outpatient follow-up, especially within the first 24 h, with a very low rate of minor adverse events, and instruction to seek immediate medical attention if symptoms worsen.

description: The goal of the Financial Independence policy conference held on September 16 and 17, 2024 in Washington, D.C. was to bring together experts from the asset and income fields to share theory, evidence, and best practices as part of an effort to work toward development of a new social contract capable of ending poverty. It was divided into four sessions. Sessions one and two focused on Children’s Savings Accounts and Baby Bonds as promising asset building policy proposals for solving the wealth inequality aspect of poverty. The third session focused on Unconditional Cash Transfers, the Child Tax Credit, and Child Allowances as promising income policy proposals for solving the income inequality aspect of poverty. Because poverty has both an income and asset component, the final session discussed why a core component of a new social contract meant to end poverty must include the combining of these strategies. This policy brief is part of the Coming Together session.
description: This study takes a first look at the question of whether in- come policies such as guaranteed income are more effective when combined with quarterly deposits and delivered using a Children’s Savings Account structure. All participants in what has become the City of Saint Paul’s CollegeBound Boost also participate in the City’s CSA program. Therefore, all participants, including the control group, have a CSA account. In addition, to participate in CollegeBound Boost, families had to have annual incomes of no more than 300% of the federal poverty line. All participants (n=1,065) were randomly assigned on a rolling basis to one of three conditions: 1) no-treatment control; 2) quarterly CSA deposits only ($250 per quarter), or 3) a combined condition including quarterly deposits and guaranteed income (GI payments of $500 per month). Findings from this study indicate that combining quarter- ly deposits with a guaranteed income increases parents’ expectations for their child to enroll in college by 8.2%.

description: Cervical cancer is the third most frequent cancer in Chinese women aged 15–44 years old. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is recognized as the main etiologic agent of cervical carcinomas. This study aims to better understand the natural history of HPV infections in Chinese women aged 18–25 years. Data from 3,025 control arm women (AS04-HPV-16/18 vaccine trial) were analyzed to assess the probability of progression or clearance from a 6-month persistent infection (6MPI) to a cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or greater (CIN2+), and the association with clinical determinants. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariable Cox models. A total of 1,324 women with 3,814 HPV infections were included, and 65.7% of the women had at least one 6MPI. Among those 6MPI, 5.0% progressed to CIN2+, while 61.0% cleared within 6 months. The risk of progression from 6MPI to CIN2+ was substantially higher for oncogenic versus non-oncogenic HPV types. Oncogenic HPV infections showed lower clearance and higher risk to progress to CIN2 +. These findings observed in a population of Chinese women, confirmed previous findings from multinational studies. The PATRICIA and AS04-HPV-16/18 vaccine trials are registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00779766 and NCT00122681).

description: We compute the relative localization volumes of the vibrational eigenmodes in two-dimensional systems with a regular body but irregular boundaries under Dirichlet and under Neumann boundary conditions. We find that localized states are rare under Dirichlet boundary conditions but very common in the Neumann case. In order to explain this difference, we utilize the fact that under Neumann conditions the integral of the amplitudes, carried out over the whole system area is zero. We discuss, how this condition leads to many localized states in the low-frequency regime and show by numerical simulations, how the number of the localized states and their localization volumes vary with the boundary roughness.

description: Apricot fruit are characterised by limited post-harvest storability, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and the interplay between psyllium treatment as a coating application method and 1-(3-phenyl-propyl) cyclopropene (1-PCP) as an ethylene inhibitor in enhancing the storability of apricot fruit during storage at 3°C and 90% relative humidity for 32 d. All treatments impacted fruit quality and storability in ‘Canino’ apricots. The combined application of both compounds led to a substantial reduction in fruit decay rate, weight loss, malondialdehyde content, and H2O2 levels. Furthermore, it contributed to improved fruit colouration and TSS content. Both psyllium and 1-PCP treatments, whether applied individually or in combination, notably reduced respiration rates, ethylene production, and the activity of key enzymes involved in ethylene biosynthesis (ACC-synthase and ACC-oxidase) when compared to the control group. Moreover, these treatments reduced oxidative stress, by affecting phenolic content, flavonoids, and antioxidant levels (both hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidant capacity). Additionally, these treatments regulated related enzymes activities such as catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and phenylalanine-ammonia lyase. Hence, it is recommended to utilise psyllium and 1-PCP to enhance the storability of apricot fruit while maintaining their overall quality.

description: We study domain wall energies of two dimensional spin glasses. The scaling of these energies depends on the model's distribution of quenched random couplings, falling into three different classes. The first class is associated with the exponent theta =-0.28, the other two classes have theta = 0, as can be justified theoretically. In contrast to previous claims, we find that theta=0 does not indicate d=d_l but rather d <= d_l, where d_l is the lower critical dimension.

description: The Ostrogradsky theorem states that any classical Lagrangian that contains time derivatives higher than the first order and is nondegenerate with respect to the highest-order derivatives leads to an unbounded Hamiltonian which linearly depends on the canonical momenta. Recently, the original theorem has been generalized to nondegeneracy with respect to non-highest-order derivatives. These theorems have been playing a central role in construction of sensible higher-derivative theories. We explore quantization of such nondegenerate theories, and prove that Hamiltonian is still unbounded at the level of quantum field theory.

description: Ruffled vegetables, having wrinkled leaves with a crispy and tender texture, are highly favored by consumers. However, the genetic resources of crinkled leaf vegetables in the Brassica genus are limited. In this study, distant hybridization was performed between ‘Mottle-leaf Tai-cai’ (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis (L.) Makino var. tai-tsai Hort. AA, 2n = 20) and ‘Big Yellow Flower Chinese Kale’ (B. oleracea var. alboglabra Bailey. CC, 2n = 18) by hand emasculation followed by tissue culture. As a result, all obtained three embryos were identified as true hybrids (AC, 2n = 19) through morphology, cytology, and molecular markers. After chromosome doubling, an allotetraploid hybrid (AACC, 2n = 38) was obtained with a giant leaf, serrated leaf margin, and wrinkled leaf surface; therefore, its most agronomical characters were biased toward the female parent of ‘Mottle-leaf Tai-cai’. In comparison with diploid hybrid, the pollen stainability of allotetraploids were significantly improved and similar to their parents. Additionally, all 5 pairs of SSR primers showed the authenticity of the hybrids. Furthermore, the contents of soluble sugar, vitamin C, and cellulose in the hybrids increased when compared with their parents. Briefly, the obtained hybrid is interspecific euhybrid, and has wrinkle-leaf characteristics, improved nutritional quality, so it is a novel Brassica wrinkle-leaf vegetable germplasm.

description: We present SeamlessGAN, a method capable of automatically generating tileable texture maps from a single input exemplar. In contrast to most existing methods, focused solely on solving the synthesis problem, our work tackles both problems, synthesis and tileability, simultaneously. Our key idea is to realize that tiling a latent space within a generative network trained using adversarial expansion techniques produces outputs with continuity at the seam intersection that can be then be turned into tileable images by cropping the central area. Since not every value of the latent space is valid to produce high-quality outputs, we leverage the discriminator as a perceptual error metric capable of identifying artifact-free textures during a sampling process. Further, in contrast to previous work on deep texture synthesis, our model is designed and optimized to work with multi-layered texture representations, enabling textures composed of multiple maps such as albedo, normals, etc. We extensively test our design choices for the network architecture, loss function and sampling parameters. We show qualitatively and quantitatively that our approach outperforms previous methods and works for textures of different types.

Explicit Supersymmetry Breaking on Boundaries of Warped Extra Dimensions

description: Explicit supersymmetry breaking is studied in higher dimensional theories by having boundaries respect only a subgroup of the bulk symmetry. If the boundary symmetry is the maximal subgroup allowed by the boundary conditions imposed on the fields, then the symmetry can be consistently gauged; otherwise gauging leads to an inconsistent theory. In a warped fifth dimension, an explicit breaking of all bulk supersymmetries by the boundaries is found to be inconsistent with gauging; unlike the case of flat 5D, complete supersymmetry breaking by boundary conditions is not consistent with supergravity. Despite this result, the low energy effective theory resulting from boundary supersymmetry breaking becomes consistent in the limit where gravity decouples, and such models are explored in the hope that some way of successfully incorporating gravity can be found. A warped constrained standard model leads to a theory with one Higgs boson with mass expected close to the experimental limit. A unified theory in a warped fifth dimension is studied with boundary breaking of both SU(5) gauge symmetry and supersymmetry. The usual supersymmetric prediction for gauge coupling unification holds even though the TeV spectrum is quite unlike the MSSM. Such a theory may unify matter and Higgs in the same SU(5) hypermultiplet.

description: Covid-19 has had a big impact on many aspects of our life, including mental health. Since the start of the pandemic, a whole body of Belgian research has been performed on the relation between covid-19 and mental health (care). The mental health & covid-19 working group of the superior health council lists these studies in order to provide advice to policy makers and the general public. The first advisory report focused on international literature on contagious outbreaks, since not many studies on covid-19 and, especially, not many Belgian studies were published yet. This advice can be found here: https://www.health.belgium.be/en/report-9589-mental-health-and-covid-19 As part of the work performed in the first advisory report, the Policy Coordination Working group has asked the Superior Health Council to list all Belgian studies investigating the relation between covid-19 and mental health and/or mental health care and to provide regular updates. The superior Health Council, therefore, started the project of the Belgian mental health data repository. This repository will consist of ongoing studies, preliminary results, accepted and published articles with a Belgian population. For each study, an overview will be given of the authors (including contact details), level of evidence and a short description of the study. The Belgian Mental Health Data Repository will allow for other researchers, policy makers, health care providers and the general public to have a better idea of and easier access to the mental health studies in Belgium. Additionally, more in-depth analyses across studies can be facilitated leading to better insights into the impact of covid-19 on mental health. An update of the living document will be published weekly. Below the fourth update of the living document can be found.

description: In this paper we study for a given azimuthal quantum number $κ$ the eigenvalues of the Chandrasekhar-Page angular equation with respect to the parameters $μ:=am$ and $ν:=aω$, where $a$ is the angular momentum per unit mass of a black hole, $m$ is the rest mass of the Dirac particle and $ω$ is the energy of the particle (as measured at infinity). For this purpose, a self-adjoint holomorphic operator family $A(κ;μ,ν)$ associated to this eigenvalue problem is considered. At first we prove that for fixed $|κ|\geq{1/2}$ the spectrum of $A(κ;μ,ν)$ is discrete and that its eigenvalues depend analytically on $(μ,ν)\in\C^2$. Moreover, it will be shown that the eigenvalues satisfy a first order partial differential equation with respect to $μ$ and $ν$, whose characteristic equations can be reduced to a Painleve III equation. In addition, we derive a power series expansion for the eigenvalues in terms of $ν-μ$ and $ν+μ$, and we give a recurrence relation for their coefficients. Further, it will be proved that for fixed $(μ,ν)\in\C^2$ the eigenvalues of $A(κ;μ,ν)$ are the zeros of a holomorphic function $Θ$ which is defined by a relatively simple limit formula. Finally, we discuss the problem if there exists a closed expression for the eigenvalues of the Chandrasekhar-Page angular equation.

description: This paper introduces a constructive method for approximating relative continuum measurements in two-dimensional electrical impedance tomography based on data originating from either the point electrode model or the complete electrode model. The upper bounds for the corresponding approximation errors explicitly depend on the number (and size) of the employed electrodes as well as on the regularity of the continuum current that is mimicked. In particular, if the input current and the object boundary are infinitely smooth, the discrepancy associated with the point electrode model converges to zero faster than any negative power of the number of electrodes. The results are first proven for the unit disk via trigonometric interpolation and quadrature rules, and they are subsequently extended to more general domains with the help of conformal mappings.

description: KCC-1/Pr-SO3H is found to be a considerable efficient nanocatalyst for the one-pot three-component condensation coupling of aromatic aldehydes, isatoic anhydride, and primary amines for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones in ethanol as a green solvent under reflux conditions with excellent yields. The influence of different reaction parameters such as the effects of solvent, temperature, time, and concentration of catalyst for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one (4f) were studied. KCC-1/Pr-SO3H is easily recyclable without the significant loss of catalytic activities after seven times. This mild and simple synthesis method offers some worthwhile advantages including short reaction time, high yield, and convenient work-up procedure.

description: The substantial burden of low back pain on patients and healthcare systems is exacerbated by unclear pathology and ineffective diagnostic methods, hindering effective management. The painDETECT questionnaire (PD-Q) has been used to facilitate the evaluation and categorization of low back pain. While preliminary validation and translations of the paper-based format of PD-Q into languages such as Spanish and Dutch have been accomplished, the underlying factor model inherent to the electronic format of the PD-Q remains to be established. The objective of this study was to utilise confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to investigate the factor structure of an electronic format PD-Q among patients with neuropathic low back pain. This cross-sectional study was conducted at a Spinal Clinic in Sydney between November 2020 and October 2022. Eligible participants were adults over 18 with low back pain and no history of lumbar surgery or systemic co-morbidities. Participants completed the electronic format of the PD-Q, and CFA was employed to assess the validity of the suggested two-factor, nine-item structure. Recommended cut-offs for goodness-of-fit indices were used to evaluate the model fit. Of the 236 patients that visited the clinic during the data collection period, 142 (71, 50% female, mean age 51.26 ± 15.28 years) participated in the study. Median pain severity was 9/10 over 4 weeks. CFA indicated strong model fit, with goodness-of-fit and comparative fit indices over 0.9, and overall internal consistency was 0.77. Construct validity analysis demonstrated the PD-Q’s effectiveness in distinguishing neuropathic, mixed, and nociceptive LBP, aiding neuropathic pain evaluation in low back pain patients. This study confirms the reliability and two-factor structure of the electronic PD-Q for neuropathic pain assessment in low back pain patients. To enhance comprehension of the clinical applicability of the electronic format PD-Q, future research should conduct clinimetric evaluations.

description: Several physical quality characteristics are important in pricing feeder pigs. This study identifies and estimates the discounts associated with various characteristics. Weight, weight squared, lot size, lot size squared, weight-lot size interactions, health, and lot uniformity were the most important physical traits affecting feeder pig price differentials. In addition, time of sale, changes in expected finished hog prices, and fluctuations in expected feed costs of finishing the pigs also had significant impacts on feeder pig prices.

Suzaku Observation of Diffuse X-Ray Emission from a Southwest Region of the Carina Nebula

description: A southwest region of the Carina nebula was observed with the Suzaku observatory for 47 ks in 2010 December. This region shows distinctively soft X-ray emission in the Chandra campaign observations. Suzaku clearly detects the diffuse emission above known foreground and background components between 0.4-5 keV at the surface brightness of 3.3x10^-14 erg s^{-1} arcmin^{-2}. The spectrum requires two plasma emission components with kT~0.2 and 0.5 keV, which suffer interstellar absorption of N_H~1.9x10^{21} cm^{-2}. Multiple absorption models assuming two temperature plasmas at ionization equilibrium or non-equilibrium are tested but there is no significant difference in terms of chi^2/d.o.f.. These plasma temperatures are similar to those of the central and eastern parts of the Carina nebula measured in earlier Suzaku observations, but the surface brightness of the hot component is significantly lower than those of the other regions. This means that these two plasma components are physically separated and have different origins. The elemental abundances of O, Ne and Mg with respect to Fe favor that the diffuse plasma originates from core-collapsed supernovae or massive stellar winds.

description: We develop a distillation protocol for multilevel qubits (qudits) using generalized beam splitters like in the proposal of Pan et al. for ordinary qubits. We find an acceleration with respect to the scheme of Bennet et al. when extended to qudits. It is also possible to distill entangled pairs of photons carrying orbital angular momenta (OAM) states that conserves the total angular momenta as those produced in recent experiments.

description: We present an advanced image analysis study of the 3D surfaces of silver/diamond-like carbon nanocomposite films prepared by radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition. Atomic force microscopy data were analysed, with the goal to provide image analysis tools allowing for a better understanding of the structure–property correlation, with specific case for the present material. While the samples' fractal dimension decreased and the roughness increased with increasing deposition time, fractal succolarity showed no significant difference and relatively high values, describing high percolation, and fractal lacunarity decreased, in agreement with topographic entropy, which revealed uniformity in height distribution. In conclusion, the samples' microtexture shows a nearly uniform surface with a homogenous distribution of nanoparticles, due to the fabrication process and the emerging fractal nature of the nanocomposite, at all the considered deposition times. Fractal lacunarity and succolarity, currently not provided by commercial image analysis programmes, can be useful in advanced surface image characterization.
Evidence for the saturation of the Froissart bound

description: It is well known that fits to high energy data cannot discriminate between asymptotic ln(s) and ln^2(s) behavior of total cross section. We show that this is no longer the case when we impose the condition that the amplitudes also describe, on average, low energy data dominated by resonances. We demonstrate this by fitting real analytic amplitudes to high energy measurements of the gamma p total cross section, for sqrt(s) > 4 GeV. We subsequently require that the asymptotic fit smoothly join the sqrt(s) = 2.01 GeV cross section described by Dameshek and Gilman as a sum of Breit-Wigner resonances. The results strongly favor the high energy ln^2(s) fit of the form sigma_{gamma p} = c_0 + c_1 ln(nu/m) + c_2 ln^2(nu/m) + beta_{P'}/sqrt(nu/m), basically excluding a ln(s) fit of the form sigma_{γp} = c_0 + c_1 ln(nu/m) + beta_P'/sqrt(ν/m), where nu is the laboratory photon energy. This evidence for saturation of the Froissart bound for gamma p interactions is confirmed by applying the same analysis to pi p data using vector meson dominance.

description: The marginal benefit and cost of diversification for Florida orange producers is studied using certainty equivalents. The primary contribution of this study is the application of the mean-variance model to farm management decisions. Results indicate that for moderate and high levels of risk aversion, diversification into strawberry, grapefruit, or additional orange production is not optimal. However, moderately risk-averse Florida orange producers would diversify into grapefruit production, if the annual amortized fixed costs were reduced by as little as 10%.

description: One of the most significant changes to the Common Rule is the requirement that institutions use a single Institutional Review Board (IRB) for cooperative research in the United States, unless more than one IRB is required by state, local, or tribal law, or a signatory federal agency decides an exception is warranted. We surveyed Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) officials at the top U.S. research institutions to understand their knowledge and opinion of the mandate, what steps their institutions are taking, and difficulties their institutions are facing. One-hundred seven institutions (56.9%) responded to the survey. While support for the single-IRB mandate was positive overall, most respondents acknowledged that their institution is likely to face some difficulties complying with it. Regulatory agencies can help institutions to comply with the mandate by providing guidance concerning such issues as exceptions to the mandate, local context review, oversight, and implementation of reliance agreements, and development of policies, procedures, and best practices.
