description: Abstract: The District of Bamako, the capital of Mali, is experiencing rapid urban expansion and significant demographic changes. This growth has led to an increasing interest in the local real estate market, a complex field influenced by various economic, social, and political factors. Thus, the analysis of the housing market in the District of Bamako aims to thoroughly explore the dynamics of the housing market, focusing on supply and demand, characteristics, recent trends, and challenges.

Moreover, Bamako's population has experienced rapid growth over the past few decades, rising from approximately 1 million inhabitants in the 1990s to over 2.3 million today. This demographic growth has created a strong demand for housing, particularly for low- and middle-income households. Consequently, the supply of affordable housing has not kept pace with this increasing demand.

The methodological approach emphasizes the use of economic analysis tools, descriptive statistics, mathematical tools, and environmental analysis. The results reveal an imbalance between the supply and demand for housing in Bamako. Thus, the housing market in Bamako faces major challenges related to rapid demographic growth and high costs. Efforts are underway to address the demand for affordable housing, but substantial progress remains to be made.

description: Changes in the activated sludge performance in an anaerobic/aerobic biological treatment system for leachate was discussed under the condition of tetracycline (TC) exposure. The results show that a low concentration of TC did not have an obvious effect on the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) while a high concentration of TC had a certain promoting effect. Under the stimulation of TC, the particle size distribution of anaerobic/aerobic sludge tended to be more uniform, the particle size of anaerobic sludge decreased while the settleability increased; however, the particle size of aerobic sludge increased due to bulking. With the addition of TC, the concentration of most heavy metal ions in sludge samples increased.TC exposure results in the release of a large amount of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), thus leading to a smoother surface of anaerobic sludge and a rougher surface of aerobic sludge. The high removal efficiency of COD under the high concentration of TC was also presumed to be due to EPS promoting the microbial absorption of anaerobic substances in the leachate. The results clearly showed that TC had a bacteriostatic effect. After antibiotic exposure, the abundance and diversity index of bacteria in each reactor decreased obviously, the microbial community evolved, and the dominant species at the genus and phylum levels of anaerobic/aerobic reactors changed. This study provides a better understanding the effect of TC on activated sludge and has reference value for the management of antibiotic exposure in leachate treatment facilities.

description: A pilot-scale experiment was implemented in a waste bioreactor with an inner capacity of 1 m3 in order to simulate a real-scale composting process. The waste underwent composting conditions that are typical of the initial bio-oxidation phase, characterised by a high production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and odorants. The waste bioreactor was fed with an intermittent airflow rate of 6 Nm3/h. The target of this study was to investigate the air treatment performance of three biofilters with the same size, but filled with different filtering media: (1) wood chips, (2) a two-layer combination of lava rock (50%) and peat (50%), and (3) peat only. The analyses on air samples taken upstream and downstream of the biofilters showed that the combination of lava rock and peat presents the best performance in terms of mean removal efficiency of odour (96%), total VOCs (95%) and H2S (77%) concentrations. Wood chips showed the worst abatement performance, with respective mean removal efficiencies of 90%, 88% and 62%. From the results obtained, it is possible to conclude that the combination of lava rock and peat can be considered as a promising choice for air pollution control in waste composting facilities.

description: Value at Risk (VaR) is the regulatory measurement for assessing market risk. It reports the maximum likely loss on a portfolio for a given probability defined as x% confidence level over N days. VaR is vital in market risk management and control. Also regulatory and economic capital computation is based on VaR results. Although VaR measure is objective and intuitive, it doesn’t capture tail risk. There are three commonly used methodologies to calculate VaR – parametric, historical simulation and Monte Carlo simulation. This presentation focuses on Monte Carlo VaR.

description: Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is well known for its harmful effects and has been officially banned as a pesticide around the world. However, DDT pollution still exists in natural environments in China because DDT degrade very slowly. In this study, 60 soil samples were collected from Cixi, Zhejiang Province, and 1) DDT and its metabolites were determined, 2) Health risk was estimated by using various indices. The results showed that the detection rate of DDT in soil samples were 100%, and the total DDTs residue in soil ranged from 0.007 to 1.208 mg/kg, with an average of 0. 113 ± 0. 035 mg/kg, which exceeded the second-level Chinese soil environmental quality standard for farmland soil. The average residuals of p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDE (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene), p,p'-DDD (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane) and o,p'-DDT accounted for 34.8%, 50.9%, 8.0% and 6.3% of the total DDTs, respectively. The DDD/DDE ratios indicated a dehydrochlorination of DDT to DDE under aerobic conditions at most sampling sites. The ratios of (p,p'-DDE + p,p'-DDD)/p,p'-DDT >1, indicating that DDTs residue pollution in soil of raw cotton area were historical residue; By analyzing the ratio of o,p'- DDT/p,p’ - DDT in the soil at the sampling point, it was found that 66.7% of the survey sampling points had a ratio between 0.2 and 1.04, and the other 18.3% of the sampling points (p,p'- DDE + p,p'- DDD)/ p,p'-DDT ratio was less than 1, which indicating the DDT in the field were mainly introduced via industrial DDT and dicofol. Therefore, the DDT residues including historical residue and fresh input. The health risk assessment showed that DDT-contaminated sites do not pose a non-carcinogenic risk to humans, and pose a very low risk of cancer to children and a low risk of cancer to adults. Overall, this study helps to understand the distribution, sources and health risks of DDT in typical soils.

description: The aim of the study was to investigate how emotion information processing factors, such as alexithymia and emotional intelligence, modulate body ownership and influence multisensory integration during the ‘rubber hand illusion’ (RHI) task. It was previously shown that alexithymia correlates with RHI, and we suggested that emotional intelligence should also be a top-down factor of body ownership, since it was not shown in previous experiments. We elaborated the study of Grynberg and Pollatos [Front. Hum. Neurosci. 9 (2015) 357] with an additional measure of emotional intelligence, and propose an explanation for the interrelation of emotion and body ownership processing. Eighty subjects took part in the RHI experiment and completed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale and the Mayer–Salovey–Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT). Only MSCEIT was detected to be a significant predictor of the subjective measure of the RHI. There were no significant correlations between alexithymia scores and the test statements of the RHI or the proprioceptive drift, thus we did not replicate the results of Grynberg and Pollatos. However, alexithymia correlated with the control statements of subjective reports of the illusion, which might be explained as a disruption of the ability to discriminate and describe bodily experience. Therefore, (1) alexithymia seems to be connected with difficulties in conscious or verbal processing of body-related information, and (2) higher emotional intelligence might improve multisensory integration of body-related signals and reflect better predictive models of self-processing.
Missing Data

description: Missing data will be handled in several ways. If a participant remained alive for 12-months post-transplant but did not complete any timepoints of the CIRS or MOS measures, they will be excluded from analyses as there is no way to estimate how they would have rated their social support or treatment adherence. If a participant did not answer one or more items in the CIRS, those items will not be considered when calculating the mean score of the subscales and subsequently the average CIRS score. If a participant did not answer an item from the MOS, multiple imputation will be used to generate possible values for the missing ones. It is possible that full survey information may be missing for participants if they missed any of the assessments because they were too sick to complete the measures, could not connect with research team members, or simply did not wish to complete the measure at that timepoint. The values will be kept as missing, given that the statistical analysis of linear mixed models will utilize the full dataset, regardless of missing data, using maximum likelihoods.

Given that the participants in the current study have a cancer diagnosis or a serious blood condition requiring an HSCT, we expect there to be deaths throughout the study, which will result in no CIRS and MOS data for the timepoints after participants die. Thus, we will conduct a sensitivity analysis and first run Aim 1 and 2 hypotheses analyses with the full dataset. Then, we will remove the individuals who died during the 12-month period post-transplant and rerun the analyses to see if the results are consistent.

description: On a milk-producing dairy farm, milk production is correlated with manure production and number of cattle, and manure is widely used as soil fertilizer. However, excessive dairy manure production is linked with greenhouse gas emissions and water quality issues. On-farm planning of manure storage and application to enhance soil nutrients are essential in a circular economy to reduce environmental impact, where manure is not landfilled and incinerated. Instead, it creates a nutrient resource for crops, and soil. Dairy manure, which is rich in nutrients, is valuable fertilizer that contains many nutrients such as nitrogen (N), organic matter (OM), phosphorous (P), and Potassium (K) and micronutrients. In this work, a pilot field research was conducted between 2016 and 2018 in various parts of California, USA (San Joaquin Valley, Sacramento Valley, Shasta Cascade, and the North Coast of California) to assess physio-chemical characteristics of solid fractions of dairy manure among various dairy farms. A total of 156 samples were collected from the gut (n = 107) and toe (n = 49) of the manure piles across California for determining total solid (TS), volatile solids (VS), temperature, moisture content, and carbon nitrogen ratio (C:N). Here, using the observations of field study and analysis, we show that C:N, OM, and MC of solid fractions of dairy manure vary significantly among dairy farms. Average C:N ratio of manure (26.32) among various regions was close to an ideal C:N value of 24:1 for soil microbes to stimulate nutrient release to crops. Manure pH varied between 7.0 and 8.0, which was close to an optimal pH rages for common crops (6.0-8.0). Moreover, considering less cost and surplus availability, manure will likely to continue providing a cost-effective organic fertilizer resource compared to commercial chemical fertilizers.

description: In this work, we designed and synthesized a novel, simple, low-cost, and effective chromone–based Schiff base ligand (HL) and its application as a chemosensor for Fe3+ detection. The structure of the synthesized sensor bears carboxylic, azomethine, and carbonyl groups which act as chelating sites for the detection of Fe3+ ions. The chemosensor HL exhibited highly selective detection of Fe3+ via a significant colour change from yellow to brown. The colour change is due to the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) mechanism. The sensor (HL) was characterized using UV-Vis, FTIR, NMR (1H- and 13C), and mass spectroscopy. The ligand solubility, detection condition, and sensitivity assessment suggested optimal use of DMF-water (9:1 v/v) as a working solvent at pH 7.0. Among a list of 15 metal ions screened, HL was highly selective, with instant response, towards Fe3+ ions without significant interferences with the other metal ions. The complexation ratio and association constants of HL to Fe3+ was determined by Job’s plot and Benesi–Hildebrand methods, and were 2:1 and 2.24 × 103 M−1, respectively, with a detection limit of 2.86 μM. The HL probe was also applied to detect Fe3+ in real samples with acceptable performance. The simple test strips have been successfully developed and applied to the visual monitoring of Fe3+ ions with a detection limit of 68 µM. The DFT was used to examine the best interaction mode of HL with Fe metal to be Fe(III)–L or Fe(III)–2L. The chemical-reactivity and molecular electrostatic optional were figured to predict the interaction behaviour of the tested compounds.

description: This paper reports on the optimization of fenitrothion photocatalytic degradation in visible light based on Plackett Burman (PB) design and central composite design (CCD) in response surface methodology (RSM). A herbicide routinely used with a negative impact on the environment is fenitrothion, which must be degraded to minimize the impact on the environment. For fenitrothion degradation, Ag-Au bimetallic nanoparticles on the semiconducting s-doped gC3N4 surface were synthesized using the galvanic exchange. The properties of s-gC3N4/Ag-Au bimetallic nanocomposite were confirmed by various methods. Significant factors responsible for fenitrothion photocatalytic degradation were determined using Plackett-Burman (PB) design and were catalyst dosage, initial fenitrothion concentration, H2O2 concentration, pH, and rotational speed. Central composite design (CCD) design was used for further optimization. The optimum conditions for the maximum degradation of fenitrothion (100%) constraints were found to be 100% an amount of H2O2 concentration 60 mM, pH 10, rotational speed 700 rpm. These results showed that s-gC3N4/Ag-Au bimetallic nanocomposite could act as a suitable photocatalyst under visible light in the degradation of fenitrothion. By removing fenitrothion from real water samples, as well as by maintaining its stability and reusability in five successive cycles, the practicality of this nanocomposite was demonstrated.

description: Phenanthrene, one of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, is stubborn and persistent and exists widely in petroleum-contaminated soil. Filamentous fungi are good assistants to bacterial transport, by hyphae passing through soil pores and reaching further positions. An isolated bacterial strain, from the contaminated soil of the coking plant, was identified as Diaphorobacter and named LW2, which could use phenanthrene as the only carbon source and energy for its growth. LW2 could degrade phenanthrene in a wide range of pH, temperature and initial concentration. When pH was 6 and 10, the removal rate of phenanthrene was 38.59% and 76.44%, respectively, and the removal rate of phenanthrene was 68.25% at 15 ℃. And LW2 could degrade 86.64% phenanthrene when the initial concentration was 100 mg L−1. The detection of DI-N-octyl phthalate, phthalic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid revealed that the strain LW2 metabolised phenanthrene through the phthalic acid pathway. Meanwhile, swimming and swarming test results suggested that LW2 was motile. The auxiliary effect of Pythium ultimum on LW2 migration was assessed. In the presence of Pythium ultimum, LW2 could migrate within the range of centimters by its mycelium, which was also observed by fluorescence microscopy. Meanwhile, the degradation ability of LW2 after the migration was also explored. The results proved that the migration process had no significant effect on its degradation ability, and LW2 still showed good phenanthrene metabolism ability. This study provides more possibilities for the bioremediation of phenanthrene-contaminated soil by screening the degradation bacteria and testing the effect of fungi on its migration.

description: This study used alfa grass fibres as a natural low-cost adsorbent to remove lead, copper, and zinc ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent was characterized by FTIR, SEM, BET surface area, ATG, and XRD techniques. The effects of pH, contact time, initial metal concentration, and adsorbent dosage on the adsorption efficiency were evaluated in batch experiments. The results showed that the adsorption of all metals was fast, and optimal removal efficiency was achieved within 25 min of contact time using 5000 mg/L of Alfa fibres at pH 6.3. The adsorption selectivity order was Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ with Pb2+ removal efficiencies up to 97.6%. The adsorption kinetics were best explained by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The experimental adsorption data fitted very well with the Langmuir isotherm model, and less well with the Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacities were respectively 14.492, 11.904, and 8.695 mg/g for Pb2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+. The results of this study indicated that Alfa fibres could be used as effective adsorbent for the removal of Pb2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ from aqueous solutions.

description: Ethics based auditing (EBA) is a structured process whereby an entitys past or present behaviour is assessed for consistency with moral principles or norms. Recently, EBA has attracted much attention as a governance mechanism that may bridge the gap between principles and practice in AI ethics. However, important aspects of EBA (such as the feasibility and effectiveness of different auditing procedures) have yet to be substantiated by empirical research. In this article, we address this knowledge gap by providing insights from a longitudinal industry case study. Over 12 months, we observed and analysed the internal activities of AstraZeneca, a biopharmaceutical company, as it prepared for and underwent an ethics-based AI audit. While previous literature concerning EBA has focused on proposing evaluation metrics or visualisation techniques, our findings suggest that the main difficulties large multinational organisations face when conducting EBA mirror classical governance challenges. These include ensuring harmonised standards across decentralised organisations, demarcating the scope of the audit, driving internal communication and change management, and measuring actual outcomes. The case study presented in this article contributes to the existing literature by providing a detailed description of the organisational context in which EBA procedures must be integrated to be feasible and effective.

description: A pilot-scale experiment was implemented in a waste bioreactor with an inner capacity of 1 m3 in order to simulate a real-scale composting process. The waste underwent composting conditions that are typical of the initial bio-oxidation phase, characterised by a high production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and odorants. The waste bioreactor was fed with an intermittent airflow rate of 6 Nm3/h. The target of this study was to investigate the air treatment performance of three biofilters with the same size, but filled with different filtering media: 1) wood chips, 2) a two-layer combination of lava rock (50%) and peat (50%), and 3) peat only. The analyses on air samples taken upstream and downstream of the biofilters showed that the combination of lava rock and peat presents the best performance in terms of mean removal efficiency of odour (96%), total VOCs (95%) and H2S (77%) concentrations. Wood chips showed the worst abatement performance, with respective mean removal efficiencies of 90%, 88% and 62%. From the results obtained, it is possible to conclude that the combination of lava rock and peat can be considered as a promising choice for air pollution control in waste composting facilities.

description: This study used alfa grass fibers as a natural low-cost adsorbent to remove lead, copper, and zinc ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent was characterized by FTIR, SEM, BET surface area, ATG, and XRD techniques. The effects of pH, contact time, initial metal concentration, and adsorbent dosage on the adsorption efficiency were evaluated in batch experiments. The results showed that the adsorption of all metals was fast, and optimal removal efficiency was achieved within 25 minutes of contact time using 5000 mg/L of Alfa fibers at pH 6.3. The adsorption selectivity order was Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ with Pb2+ removal efficiencies up to 97.6%. The adsorption kinetics were best explained by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The experimental adsorption data fitted very well with the Langmuir isotherm model, and less well with the Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacities were respectively 14.492, 11.904, and 8.695 mg/g for Pb2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+. The results of this study indicated that Alfa fibers could be used as effective adsorbent for the removal of Pb2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ from aqueous solutions.

description: Protective mimicry, in which a palatable species avoids predation by being mistaken for an unpalatable model, is a remarkable example of adaptive evolution. These complex interactions between mimics, models and predators can explain similarities between organisms beyond the often-mechanistic constraints typically invoked in studies of convergent evolution. However, quantitative studies of protective mimicry typically focus on static traits (e.g. colour and shape) rather than on dynamic traits like locomotion. Here, we use high-speed cameras and behavioural experiments to investigate the role of locomotor behaviour in mimicry by the ant-mimicking jumping spider Myrmarachne formicaria, comparing its movement to that of ants and non-mimicking spiders. Contrary to previous suggestions, we find mimics walk using all eight legs, raising their forelegs like ant antennae only when stationary. Mimics exhibited winding trajectories (typical wavelength = 5–10 body lengths), which resemble the winding patterns of ants specifically engaged in pheromone-trail following, although mimics walked on chemically inert surfaces. Mimics also make characteristically short (approx. 100 ms) pauses. Our analysis suggests that this makes mimics appear ant-like to observers with slow visual systems. Finally, behavioural experiments with predatory spiders yield results consistent with the protective mimicry hypothesis. These findings highlight the importance of dynamic behaviours and observer perception in mimicry.

description: The term structure of interest rates, also known as yield curve, is defined as the relationship between the yield to maturity on a zero coupon bond and the bond's maturity. Zero yield curves play an essential role in the valuation of all financial products.
 The current methodology in capital markets for marking to market securities and derivatives is to estimate and discount future cash flows using rates derived from the appropriate term structure. The yield term structure is increasingly used as the foundation for deriving relative term structures and as a benchmark for pricing and hedging.

AI and Social Theory

description: In this paper, we sketch a programme for AI driven social theory. We begin by defining what we mean by artificial intelligence (AI) in this context. We then lay out our model for how AI based models can draw on the growing availability of digital data to help test the validity of different social theories based on their predictive power. In doing so, we use the work of Randall Collins and his state breakdown model to exemplify that, already today, AI based models can help synthesize knowledge from a variety of sources, reason about the world, and apply what is known across a wide range of problems in a systematic way. However, we also find that AI driven social theory remains subject to a range of practical, technical, and epistemological limitations. Most critically, existing AI systems lack three essential capabilities needed to advance social theory in ways that are cumulative, holistic, open-ended, and purposeful. These are (1) semanticization, i.e., the ability to develop and operationalize verbal concepts to represent machine-manipulable knowledge, (2) transferability, i.e., the ability to transfer what has been learned in one context to another, and (3) generativity, i.e., the ability to independently create and improve on concepts and models. We argue that if the gaps identified here are addressed by further research, there is no reason why, in the future, the most advanced programme in social theory should not be led by AI-driven cumulative advances.

description: Financial institutions have to perform Start of Day (SOD) process before it can carry out transactions for a specific date. Similarly, the End of Day (EOD) job must be run to process the transaction created during the day. When the scheduled EOD job completes, the system is advanced to the next date automatically.
 The EOD process can be performed manually, as well as automatically, as scheduled jobs through a job scheduler. The EOD jobs involved closing down daily activities, processing transactions and backing up all data.
