description: Advances in teaching methods along with changes in children's lifestyles provide a golden opportunity to progress in scientific knowledge, especially on how certain aspects of learning might be stimulated by environmental factors, such as physical activity. The current study, called The Break4Brain project, aims to examine the acute (transient) effects of physical activity on brain function, cognition, and academic performance in preadolescent children with and without Attention Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Specifically, two studies are proposed; 1) Regarding the first, a total of 60 children with (n=30) and without (n=30) ADHD between 10 and 12 years of age will be included. A within-subject design (cross-over study) will be used with measurements distributed in four-time points in laboratory settings. The children will perform three different experimental conditions of 10 minutes, which will be randomized in a counterbalanced order. These experimental conditions will be based on physical activity with cognitive involvement, physical activity without cognitive involvement and cognitive engagement control; 2) To the second study, a total of 600 children between 10 and 12 years of age will be randomized among two experimental conditions, video-based physical activity program (n=300) and control condition (n=300). The experimental conditions will take place in the school settings during the school day through a between-subject design with a total of two measurements, pre, and post-test. Additionally, to design the experimental condition, a qualitative design will be conducted, comprising semi-structured interviews and semi-structured questionnaires administered pre- and post-test. This project has the potential to substantially contribute to the field of acute physical activity and could have a meaningful transference on the educational system. If brain function, cognition, and academic performance are proven to be sensitively stimulated by brain breaks, this method might be prescribed as an effective teaching strategy for children with and without ADHD in school settings.

description: Battery degradation remains a pivotal concern in the energy storage domain, with machine learning emerging as a potent tool to drive forward insights and solutions. However, this intersection of electrochemical science and machine learning poses complex challenges. Machine learning experts often grapple with the intricacies of battery science, while battery researchers face hurdles in adapting intricate models tailored to specific datasets. Beyond this, a cohesive standard for battery degradation modeling, inclusive of data formats and evaluative benchmarks, is conspicuously absent. Recognizing these impediments, we present BatteryML - a one-step, all-encompass, and open-source platform designed to unify data preprocessing, feature extraction, and the implementation of both traditional and state-of-the-art models. This streamlined approach promises to enhance the practicality and efficiency of research applications. BatteryML seeks to fill this void, fostering an environment where experts from diverse specializations can collaboratively contribute, thus elevating the collective understanding and advancement of battery research.The code for our project is publicly available on GitHub at https://github.com/microsoft/BatteryML.

description: Die vorliegende qualitative Bachelorarbeit untersucht die Auswirkungen von Scham auf Menschen, die von Armut betroffen sind. Ziel der Studie ist es, Prozesse auf individueller, gesellschaftlicher und struktureller Ebene zu erklären, die zur Entstehung, Aufrechterhaltung oder Überwindung von Schamgefühlen bei armutsbetroffenen Menschen beitragen. Mittels leitfadengestützter biografischer Interviews wurden die individuellen Erfahrungen und Perspektiven von Personen erhoben, die mit begrenzten finanziellen Ressourcen leben müssen. Die Datenauswertung erfolgte unter Anwendung der Grounded Theory Methode, um den komplexen Zusammenhang zwischen Armut und Scham zu analysieren und in einem Modell darzustellen. Die Ergebnisse gewähren Einblicke in Stigmatisierungserfahrungen von armutsbetroffenen Menschen und identifizieren Scham als einen entscheidenden Faktor, der zu ihrer sozialen, gesellschaftlichen und beruflichen Ausgrenzung führt und zur Verfestigung sozialer Ungleichheit beiträgt. Des Weiteren kann aufgezeigt werden, wie die Verantwortung für strukturelle oder gesellschaftliche Risiken auf Armutsbetroffene abgewälzt wird, womit Armut die Konnotation einer selbstverschuldeten Lage erhält und Schamgefühle hervorruft. Zudem veranschaulichen die Ergebnisse die zahlreichen biopsychosozialen Auswirkungen von Scham auf armutsbetroffene Menschen. Besonders deutlich zeigt sich dies beim Sozialhilfebezug. Die Befragten erleben den Eintritt in die Sozialhilfe als demütigendes Ereignis, das mit Scham verbunden ist. Im weiteren Verlauf entfaltet der Bezug von Sozialhilfe eine desintegrative und selbstwertbeschädigende Wirkung, was den Zielen der Sozialhilfe, die berufliche und soziale Integration, widerspricht. Auf Grundlage der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden Implikationen auf gesellschaftlicher, sozialpolitischer und institutioneller Ebene sowie Handlungsempfehlungen für eine ressourcenorientierte und inkludierende Soziale Arbeit formuliert. Diese zielen darauf ab, Armut nicht als individuelles Problem zu betrachten, sondern als gesellschaftliches Phänomen zu verstehen. Die empfohlenen Massnahmen sollen der Beschämung und Stigmatisierung von armutsbetroffenen Menschen im Sinne der sozialen Kohäsion entgegenwirken und aktivierungspolitische Ansätze zugunsten von mehr Teilhabechancen begrenzen.

description: The Aptilotella corona Species Group
Diagnosis. Members of this species group are defined by the very dark, shiny tab-like piece of male sternite 5 that articulates perpendicularly with the posteromedial margins of sternite 5 and synsternite 6+7. This structure apparently serves in part to protect the cerci when they are not in use. The defining character of the distiphallus is the prominent dark club-shaped sclerite of the ventral flanking sclerite, which typically bears a crown of denticles. The aedeagus is rich in additional, diagnostic characters. The basiphallus is compressed and arched and, with the exception of A. sphyra, possesses erect articulatory processes for the postgonite. In the ventral flanking sclerites, the medial article is dorsally elongated, and the strongly lobed distal article is arched or coiled inward. Medial paired sclerites arise convergently distal to the medial article of the ventral flanking sclerites and are confluent in the slender distal half. The hypandrium has slender and articulated basal arms and club-shaped pregonites.
Both sexes of most species in this group have a broad silvery-white band on the lower margin of the facial excavation, a character shared with A. germana, A. pyropanda, and A. hamata. Exceptions are A. corona, which has white spots instead, and A. sphyra, in which the band is faint in the male and lacking in the female. Six species are described from Central America.

description: Offline Goal-Conditioned RL (GCRL) offers a feasible paradigm for learning general-purpose policies from diverse and multi-task offline datasets. Despite notable recent progress, the predominant offline GCRL methods, mainly model-free, face constraints in handling limited data and generalizing to unseen goals. In this work, we propose Goal-conditioned Offline Planning (GOPlan), a novel model-based framework that contains two key phases: (1) pretraining a prior policy capable of capturing multi-modal action distribution within the multi-goal dataset; (2) employing the reanalysis method with planning to generate imagined trajectories for funetuning policies. Specifically, we base the prior policy on an advantage-weighted conditioned generative adversarial network, which facilitates distinct mode separation, mitigating the pitfalls of out-of-distribution (OOD) actions. For further policy optimization, the reanalysis method generates high-quality imaginary data by planning with learned models for both intra-trajectory and inter-trajectory goals. With thorough experimental evaluations, we demonstrate that GOPlan achieves state-of-the-art performance on various offline multi-goal navigation and manipulation tasks. Moreover, our results highlight the superior ability of GOPlan to handle small data budgets and generalize to OOD goals.

Pragmatic Analysis of Compliment Responses by Gen-Z: Focusing on differences between Japanese and American women and the gender of the complimenter

description: In many Japanese language textbooks and classes, instruction often advocates for responding to compliments with modesty, typically through a negative response. However, previous research by Tatsumi (2013), Shimizu (2007), Terao (1996), and Hirata (1999) suggests that Japanese individuals do not exclusively rely on negative responses when receiving compliments. Moreover, prior studies have predominantly examined the gender of the recipient of the compliment, overlooking the significance of the gender of the person giving compliments. With respect to the topic of compliment responses, previous research has found the following two points. First, Holmes (1988), Herbert (1990), and Matsuura (2004) found that compliment exchanges frequently occur among the younger generation. Second, Itoi (1999), Shimizu (2017) Takamiya (2022) and, Ang (2023) found that the compliments among younger generations are likely to be accepted.This study aims to investigate potential differences in compliment responses between Japanese and American women who fall into Generation Z, while also considering the influence of both the gender of the person giving the compliments and the topic of the compliments. A survey was conducted involving 30 Japanese women residing in Japan and 32 American females living in the U.S. Participants submitted their responses online, using either Japanese or English, their native languages. These responses were elicited as reactions to scenarios wherein they received compliments, accompanied by written explanations for their responses.The compliments were given by classmates with a relationship of acquaintance who were not yet close, with variations in the gender of the complimenter (male vs. female) and the type of compliment (appearance vs. skill), totaling four distinct scenarios. Their responses were recorded both orally and through written response to share intention. On top of these records, analysis required taking into account the tone of voice and nonverbal cues such as pauses, and hesitations when analyzing and discussing the impact of the complimenter’s gender and the topic of the compliment on the response. Study results show that almost all the compliments were accepted with appreciation by both American and Japanese participants with no difference observed in macro strategies and minimal differences observed in micro strategies. However, this lack of difference is discussed as evident of global influences on pragmatics of different cultures. The findings of this study have implications for communication strategies related to compliments and for pragmatic instruction in teaching Japanese as a second/foreign language.

description: A technique for reducing the number of integrals in a Monte Carlo calculation is introduced. For integrations relying on classical or mean-field trajectories with local weighting functions, it is possible to integrate analytically at least half of the integration variables prior to setting up the particular Monte Carlo calculation of interest, in some cases more. Proper accounting of invariant phase space structures shows the system's dynamics is reducible into composite stable and unstable degrees of freedom. Stable degrees of freedom behave locally in the reduced dimensional phase space exactly as an analogous integrable system would. Classification of the unstable degrees of freedom is dependent upon the degree of chaos present in the dynamics. The techniques for deriving the requisite canonical coordinate transformations are developed and shown to block diagonalize the stability matrix into irreducible parts. In doing so, it is demonstrated how to reduce the amount of sampling directions necessary in a Monte Carlo simulation. The technique is illustrated by calculating return probabilities and expectation values for different dynamical regimes of a two-degree-of-freedom coupled quartic oscillator within a classical Wigner method framework.

(Figures 2A)
LSID: http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid:Lygaeoidea.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:488613
Material studied. “Nuku Hiva, Vallée française, 04. 2013., Tente Malaise, leg. Thibault Ramage” (3 ♀, 2 ♂, 4 nymphs, PCTR).
Diagnosis. This species as the only known representative of the genus is readily recognised by the generic characteristic as discussed in key. Furthermore, compared to Germalus species of the archipelago its base colour is blackish with pale ochraceous decorations whilst representatives of Germalus are generally ochraceous with fuscous or dark brownish decorations (e.g. fig. 1A).
Distribution. Australian taxon. Species is currently known from the island of Nuku Hiva, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. It is suspected that the presence of the species is a result of accidental human-mediated introduction. However the numbers of specimens collected suggest that the species is possibly established on the island.
Remarks. The species was thoroughly redescribed by Malipatil (1994) thus no redescription was intended.

Ataenius

description: Genus Ataenius Harold, 1867
Remarks. Within the Eupariini, the genus Ataenius is highly variable. This genus considered as central core from which other genera have been recognized. Members are unicolorous black to reddish brown, head usually with weak transverse wrinkles, clypeus dentate or not, tibia usually only moderately widened apically, and pygidium with apical half eroded (Smith & Skelley 2007). One of the most comprehensive generic diagnosis of Ataenius can be found in Stebnicka (2001). The main diagnostic characters of the genus listed are clearly visible in the studied specimens.
The specimens considered here were assigned to the genus to Ataenius within the tribe Eupariini, based on a combination of the following morphological characters: (1) head narrower than pronotum, (2) middle of head gibbose, (3) clypeal surface without transverse ridges, not granulate or tuberculate, (4) pronotum transverse, (5) disc of partially exposed pygidium deeply eroded, (6) metatibia without transverse ridges, (7) abdominal ventrites with fluting, (8) apical spurs of metatibia spiniform, located close together below tarsal insertion, (9) tarsi not longer than tibiae, (10) pronotum without grooves or rows of punctures, (11) mesotibia not strongly expanded at apex, (12) lateral pronotal sides slightly upturned, but not explanate, and (13) elytra without humeral denticles.

description: Abstract

This research article explores the development of a natural duality for the quasi-variety generated by a specific five-element residuated lattice. Residuated lattices are algebraic structures that serve as the foundation for substructural logics, including relevance and linear logic. The establishment of natural dualities allows for a deeper understanding of these quasi-varieties by enabling representation via dual structures. In this paper we obtain the natural duality of the quasi-variety generated by a five-element residuated lattice.

description: We investigate outflows and the physics of super-Eddington versus sub-Eddington regimes in black hole systems. Our focus is on prospective science using next-generation high-resolution soft X-ray instruments. We highlight the properties of black hole ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) systems in particular. Owing to scale invariance in accreting black holes, ULX accretion properties including their outflows, inform our understanding not only of the closely-related population of (similar-mass) X-ray binary systems, but also of tidal disruption events (TDEs) around supermassive black holes. A subsample of TDEs are likely to transcend super-Eddington to sub-Eddington regimes as they evolve, offering an important unifying analog to ULXs and sub-Eddington X-ray binaries. We demonstrate how next-generation soft X-ray observations with resolving power > 1000 and collecting area > 1000 cm^2 can simultaneously identify ultrafast and more typical wind components, distinguish between different wind mechanisms, and constrain changing wind properties over characteristic variability timescales.

description: Recycling of waste water for agriculture can improve environmental sustainability while improving cost of farming. The aim of this work is to study the growth performance of groundnut and bean seeds fortified with slaughter house and palm oil mill waste waters. For each wastewater type, 6 concentrations of 100, 75, 50, 25, 10 and 5% were prepared with tap water as the control. The seeds were soaked in each of these samples for a period of 5 hours, 10 hours and 24 hours. The germination percentage was monitored for four weeks while leaf number, and stalk length were monitored for 14 weeks. The soil used was a gravely sandy soil with a bulk density of 2.39 g/cm3. For palm oil mill wastewater, optimum germination for beans seeds was obtained with 10 hours of fortification as germination occurred in all tested concentrations and the control from week two in equal amounts. Meanwhile germination of groundnut seeds fortified with palm oil mill wastewater for 5 hours started with 5, 25 and 75% in week 2 but germination was observed in all concentrations from week 3 and control in week 4. For slaughter house wastewater, optimum germination for groundnut seeds was obtained with 24 hours of fortification for 5-100% in week 2 in equal amounts and control in third week, with similar results for beans fortified for 10 hours. Longer fortification periods (10 and 24 hrs) are more favourable in case of slaughter house wastewater for both seeds germination irrespective of the slaughterhouse wastewater concentration but shorter fortification period favourable for palm oil wastewater (5 hours for groundnut and 10 hours for beans).  This results shows that at low concentrations of wastewaters tested irrespective of the fortification time, inhibitory effects on the germination percentages were low compared to higher concentrations.

description: This study treated heavy-metal pollution in industrial wastewater by isolating and characterizing heavy metal-tolerant bacterial strains for bioremediation of industrial wastewater. The effluent samples were sterilized and aseptically inoculated with isolated heavy metal-tolerant bacteria such as Bacillus lichniformis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. The samples were subjected to physicochemical analysis, and titrimetric analysis. Further, Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) was used for Heavy metal analysis. Phytotoxic assay was carried out by seed germination tests and pot culture study. Over 96-hour period, improvement featuring reduced turbidity, a stabilized neutral pH, and a substantial 72% decrease in total solids was observed. The application of the bioremediation techniques using heavy metal tolerant bacteria resulted in a significant reduction of heavy metal concentrations, surpassing 85%. Moreover, seed germination rates in the treated industrial effluent were higher than the untreated samples. Pot culture tests further revealed diminished toxicity (2.5%) in treated roots compared to untreated ones (36.7%), accompanied by increased root and shoot growth in the treated pots. The noticeable enhancement in germination rates and the improved growth of plants in the treated effluent underscore the promising potential for the sustainable application of these eco-friendly bacteria, making them a cost-effective microbial bioremediation solution for industrial wastewater.
