description: The tourism industry is one of the sectors impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused
 a massive loss of income and unemployment worldwide. The pandemic has exacerbated the existing
 sustainability challenges of the tourism industry, challenges that are being addressed through
 responsible tourism. In this study, the authors examined and discussed responsible tourism based on
 literature, interviews, and blogs by using NVIVO software. The study identified several emerging
 themes from the software analysis based on eight interviews and three blog reviews. As a result, to
 practice responsible tourism requires the participation of all parties involved in the supply chain,
 including investors, institutions, governments, tour operators, local communities, and destination
 management organizations (DMOs) and the tourists themselves.

THE ROLE OF HEGEMONY IN THE IDENTITY: A CRITICAL STUDY ON SHASHI DESHPANDE'S STRANGERS TO OURSELVES
Creators: name: Dr. M. Kannadhasan
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Most Indian women have experienced hardships because they are expected to submit to and be obedient to their male-dominated, patriarchal households' traditional rituals. The civilization frequently transfers these customary rituals from one procreation to the next. For this reason, over the ages, these customs have been passed down from one generation to the next and are still being followed. The younger, more advanced civilization finds it unacceptable that the older generation is trying to force these archaic values on the younger generation. While traditional values hold significance in their own right, they also impose oppressive regulations on women in society. The women of the modern present civilization also want to be followed in those archaic customs by the blind followers and streakers of the customary conventional orthodox civilization. With each new scientific and technological development, global civilization is lurching forward, and women are leading the way towards the cutting edge of modernity. Shashi Deshpande has delved deeply into the inner psychic conditions of women and completed her important compositional work to provoke Indian women for their upbringing. These women bear the brunt of their own incapacity to resist the archaic customs of their society as well as their humiliation, devaluation, discrimination, and exploitation within the patriarchal mentality of Indian society.

description: We further study the relations between parameters of bursts at 35 GHz recorded with the Nobeyama Radio Polarimeters during 25 years, on the one hand, and solar proton events, on the other hand (Grechnev et al. in Publ. Astron. Soc. Japan 65, S4, 2013a). Here we address the relations between the microwave fluences at 35 GHz and near-Earth proton fluences above 100 MeV in order to find information on their sources and evaluate their diagnostic potential. A correlation was found to be pronouncedly higher between the microwave and proton fluences than between their peak fluxes. This fact probably reflects a dependence of the total number of protons on the duration of the acceleration process. In events with strong flares, the correlation coefficients of high-energy proton fluences with microwave and soft X-ray fluences are higher than those with the speeds of coronal mass ejections. The results indicate a statistically larger contribution of flare processes to high-energy proton fluxes. Acceleration by shock waves seems to be less important at high energies in events associated with strong flares, although its contribution is probable and possibly prevails in weaker events. The probability of a detectable proton enhancement was found to directly depend on the peak flux, duration, and fluence of the 35 GHz burst, while the role of the Big Flare Syndrome might be overestimated previously. Empirical diagnostic relations are proposed.

description: Shape dynamics is a theory first proposed by Julian Barbour which states that physics happen uniquely in the reduced configuration space of a theory. So far, studies in the area have focused on gravitational systems. Here we first contemplate on the implications of this idea on quantum mechanics. We summarize the idea of shape dynamics and then give physical configurations of multi qubit systems. It is observed that inclusion of the spacetime curvature introduces a new qubit degree of freedom. This is a novel effect of general relativity on a quantum system. Our aim in the grand picture, is to initiate a research program translating classical shape dynamics to quantum realm.

description: Trajectory data collection is a common task with many applications in our daily lives. Analyzing trajectory data enables service providers to enhance their services, which ultimately benefits users. However, directly collecting trajectory data may give rise to privacy-related issues that cannot be ignored. Local differential privacy (LDP), as the de facto privacy protection standard in a decentralized setting, enables users to perturb their trajectories locally and provides a provable privacy guarantee. Existing approaches to private trajectory data collection in a local setting typically use relaxed versions of LDP, which cannot provide a strict privacy guarantee, or require some external knowledge that is impractical to obtain and update in a timely manner. To tackle these problems, we propose a novel trajectory perturbation mechanism that relies solely on an underlying location set and satisfies pure $ε$-LDP to provide a stringent privacy guarantee. In the proposed mechanism, each point's adjacent direction information in the trajectory is used in its perturbation process. Such information serves as an effective clue to connect neighboring points and can be used to restrict the possible region of a perturbed point in order to enhance utility. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to use direction information for trajectory perturbation under LDP. Furthermore, based on this mechanism, we present an anchor-based method that adaptively restricts the region of each perturbed trajectory, thereby significantly boosting performance without violating the privacy constraint. Extensive experiments on both real-world and synthetic datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanisms.

description: A game-theoretic model for analysing the effects of privacy on strategic communication between agents is devised. In the model, a sender wishes to provide an accurate measurement of the state to a receiver while also protecting its private information (which is correlated with the state) private from a malicious agent that may eavesdrop on its communications with the receiver. A family of nontrivial equilibria, in which the communicated messages carry information, is constructed and its properties are studied.

description: In our previous paper [1], we studied a model of dark matter (DM) in which the hidden sector interacts with standard model particles via a hidden photonic portal (HP). We investigated the effects of this new interaction on the hydrogen atom and obtained an upper bound for the coupling of the model. In this work, we study the effects of HP on two interesting exotic atoms namely muonium and positronium. We obtain a tighter upper limit on the coupling. We also calculate the change (shift) in the Aharonov-Bohm phase due to HP and find that the phase shift is negligibly small (for DM particles mass in the GeV range). Recently a 3.5 keV X ray line signal observed in the spectrum of 73 galaxy clusters, reported by the XXM-Newton X ray observatory. Since in HP model the DM particles can decay directly into photons, so we finally calculate the value of the coupling constant f using the condition Delta E=3.5 keV.

Examination of How Preparation Pathway and Induction Program Comprehensiveness are Associated with Novice STEM Teachers' Perceptions of Preparedness and Intentions to Remain in Teaching
Creators: name: Goldberg, Lindsay
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2012

description: Novice science and mathematics (STEM) educators experience high rates of teacher turnover and a shortage of new teachers entering the profession. Variations in the extensiveness of their preservice preparation and on-the-job support services may contribute to these problems. This study examined associations between the comprehensiveness of middle and secondary novice STEM teachers' preparation and induction programs to their perceptions of preparedness and intentions to remain in teaching. Linear and logistic regression analyses revealed that individuals exposed to comprehensive preparation pathways felt more prepared to teach and were more likely to plan to remain in teaching long-term. Likewise, individuals who participated in comprehensive induction programs planned to remain in the profession long-term. These findings suggest that access to comprehensive preparation and induction programs may provide novice STEM educators with the resources needed to feel prepared for the challenges of teaching and aide in their overall commitment to teaching.

description: Phenomics, the large-scale study of phenotypes, is transforming aquatic animal health by providing insights into disease resistance, growth optimization, and overall health. This comprehensive approach integrates technologies such as high-throughput phenotyping, genomic analysis, and bioinformatics to explore the interplay between genetic and environmental factors influencing phenotypes. Key advancements include advanced imaging techniques, genomic integration, and sophisticated data management systems. Applications of phenomics in aquaculture are vast, including selective breeding programs to enhance desirable traits, precision aquaculture for tailored management practices, and improved disease surveillance and management. Notable examples include increasing disease resistance in shrimp, enhancing growth and feed efficiency in tilapia, and stress monitoring in salmon. Despite its potential, phenomics faces challenges in data management, interdisciplinary collaboration, and ethical considerations. Addressing these challenges is crucial for the responsible and sustainable application of phenomics in aquaculture. As the field evolves, it promises more sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly practices, contributing to global food security and the conservation of aquatic biodiversity. This article encapsulates the transformative potential of phenomics in improving aquatic animal health through advanced technological integration and interdisciplinary efforts.

description: We consider load scheduling on constrained continuous-time linear dynamical systems, such as automated irrigation and other distribution networks. The requested loads are rigid, i.e., the shapes cannot be changed. Hence, it is only possible to shift the order back-and-forth in time to arrive at a feasible schedule. We present a numerical algorithm based on using log-barrier functions to include the state constraints in the social cost function (i.e., an appropriate function of the scheduling delays). This algorithm requires a feasible initialization. Further, in another algorithm, we treat the state constraints as soft constraints and heavily penalize the constraint violations. This algorithm can even be initialized at an infeasible point. The applicability of both these numerical algorithms is demonstrated on an automated irrigation network with two pools and six farms.

description: In recent years, the analysis of economic crime and corruption in procurement has benefited from integrative studies that acknowledge the interconnected nature of the procurement ecosystem. Following this line of research, we present a networks approach for the analysis of shell-companies operations in procurement that makes use of contracting and ownership data under one framework to gain knowledge about the organized crime behavior that emerges in this setting. In this approach, ownership and management data are used to identify connected components in shell-company networks that, together with the contracting data, allows to develop an alternative representation of the traditional buyer-supplier network: the module-component bipartite network, where the modules are groups of buyers and the connected components are groups of suppliers. This is applied to two documented cases of procurement corruption in Mexico characterized by the involvement of large groups of shell-companies in the misappropriation of millions of dollars across many sectors. We quantify the economic impact of single versus connected shell-companies operations. In addition, we incorporate metrics for the diversity of operations and favoritism levels. This paper builds into the quantitative organized crime in the private sector studies and contributes by proposing a networks approach for preventing fraud and understanding the need for legal reforms.

description: Agile project management (APM) refers to a set of project management frameworks (Beck et al., 2001) that are increasingly applied in various industries (Komus & Kuberg, 2020). In fact, a recent survey with more than 2,400 executives from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland indicates that APM practices are used by 56% of their companies (Odgers Berndtson, 2018). APM frameworks have in common that they value team autonomy, team equality, and iterative delivery of project increments (Koch & Schermuly, 2020). Even though positive effects of APM are widely assumed in practice (Komus & Kuberg, 2020; Petermann & Zacher, 2020), the research body shows partially inconclusive results: Some empirical studies point to beneficial outcomes such as performance, job satisfaction, or well-being (e.g., Azanha et al., 2017; Tripp et al., 2016; Tuomivaara et al., 2017), whereas others indicate detrimental consequences such as ineffective decision making or de-motivation (e.g., McAvoy & Butler, 2009; McHugh et al., 2011). In addition to this inconclusiveness, empirical findings on APM consequences remain scattered across disciplines (e.g., software development, project management, organizational behavior) and industries (e.g., information systems, manufacturing, marketing). To clarify the role of APM for organizational outcomes, this paper aims at synthesizing research findings by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. To do so, we categorize and investigate three types of APM consequences: affective, behavioral, and cognitive outcomes. In a second step, this systematic review and meta-analysis aims at identifying research gaps by highlighting inconsistent findings. By doing so, we provide suggestions to guide theoretical development in the field of APM research in a meaningful way. In a third step, we will investigate the effects of several moderators on the relationships with APM: effect sizes may systematically vary depending on study-related variables (e.g., industry, study location, publication status, study design) and demographic variables (e.g., employees’ mean ages, percentage of female participants, team size). To sum up, our research questions are: What are the affective, behavioral, and cognitive consequences of agile project management? Which research gaps can be deduced from inconclusive findings? What variables moderate the relationship between APM and its consequences?

description: Executive function, also known as executive control, is a multifaceted construct encompassing several cognitive abilities, including working memory, attention, impulse control, and cognitive flexibility. To accurately measure executive functioning skills, it is necessary to develop assessment tools and strategies that can quantify the behaviors associated with cognitive control. Impulsivity, a range of cognitive control deficits, is typically evaluated using conventional neuropsychological tests. However, this study proposes a biomechatronic approach to assess impulsivity as a behavioral construct, in line with traditional neuropsychological assessments. The study involved thirty-four healthy adults who completed the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) as an initial step. A low-cost biomechatronic system was developed, and an approach based on standard neuropsychological tests, including the trail-making test and serial subtraction-by-seven, was used to evaluate impulsivity. Three tests were conducted: WTMT-A (numbers only), WTMT-B (numbers and letters), and a dual-task of WTMT-A and serial subtraction-by-seven. The preliminary findings suggest that the proposed instrument and experiments successfully generated an attentional impulsivity score and differentiated between participants with high and low attentional impulsivity.

Type species: Porrorhynchus depressus Régimbart, 1907.
Diagnosis: Within Dineutus, the subgenus Rhomborhynchus can be diagnosed by the following characters: (1) head capsule with a frons to clypeus ratio of greater than or equal to 1.5, (2) labrum elongate and triangular, (3) labrum with a longitudinal paired row of setae, and one transverse row, (4) spinose distolateral corner of the protibia, (5) ventral face of protrochanter apically with series of stout setae, (6) mesotarsal claws weakly sexually dimorphic and (7) female RT with tubiform spermatheca. These species are most similar to members of the former subgenus Rhombodineutus having relatively elongate labra and a greatly elongate spermatheca (Fig. 11D). But can be distinguished by the spinose distolateral corner of the protibia, the more strongly triangular labrum and the presence of setae apically on the ventral face of the protrochanter.

description: Light propagating in tissue attains a spectrum that varies with location due to wavelength-dependent fluence attenuation by tissue optical properties, an effect that causes spectral corruption. Predictions of the spectral variations of light fluence in tissue are challenging since the spatial distribution of optical properties in tissue cannot be resolved in high resolution or with high accuracy by current methods. Spectral corruption has fundamentally limited the quantification accuracy of optical and optoacoustic methods and impeded the long sought-after goal of imaging blood oxygen saturation (sO2) deep in tissues; a critical but still unattainable target for the assessment of oxygenation in physiological processes and disease. We discover a new principle underlying light fluence in tissues, which describes the wavelength dependence of light fluence as an affine function of a few reference base spectra, independently of the specific distribution of tissue optical properties. This finding enables the introduction of a previously undocumented concept termed eigenspectra Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (eMSOT) that can effectively account for wavelength dependent light attenuation without explicit knowledge of the tissue optical properties. We validate eMSOT in more than 2000 simulations and with phantom and animal measurements. We find that eMSOT can quantitatively image tissue sO2 reaching in many occasions a better than 10-fold improved accuracy over conventional spectral optoacoustic methods. Then, we show that eMSOT can spatially resolve sO2 in muscle and tumor; revealing so far unattainable tissue physiology patterns. Last, we related eMSOT readings to cancer hypoxia and found congruence between eMSOT tumor sO2 images and tissue perfusion and hypoxia maps obtained by correlative histological analysis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate to what degree the use of math-related literature in a Grade 5 mathematics class affected students? enjoyment in the mathematics classroom. Starting in September 2010, students took part in a 'regular' mathematics class, consisting of a starting activity, direct teaching, and individual assignments for six weeks. After this six week period, students participated in a literature enriched mathematics program for another six weeks. These mathematics lessons involved the teacher reading a math-related story to the students at the beginning of the lesson and using the theme from the book as a focus for the direct teaching and assignments. This quantitative study using a survey administered three times to 16 Grade 5 student participants was conducted to determine students? mathematical enjoyment at the beginning, the mid-point, and end of the 12 week study. The data showed that the use of literature in the Grade 5 mathematics class increased students? mathematical enjoyment levels. The survey data indicated that throughout the study students began to enjoy mathematics more than any other class and students increased their confidence in mathematics. The results from this study may encourage teachers to explore ways to include math-related literature into daily mathematics lessons to build students' enjoyment levels and engage them in their mathematical learning.

Estimating 3D Deformable Motion from a series of Fast 2D MRI Images
Creators: name: Brown, Jason
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: In this application, we estimated patient-specific 3D deformable motion in the abdomen from a series of fast 2D images. CLARET (Correction via Limited-Angle Residues in External Beam Therapy) is an image registration method that has been used to estimate 3D deformable motion from 2D X-ray images. This work generalizes CLARET and extends it to use with MRI images of the abdomen. Using CLARET to predict the 3D motion of a subject from a set of 2D projection images has the potential to be used in fast MRI imaging of dynamic processes. The method begins with acquisition of a 4D respiratory-gated image set using a gradient-echo sequence. From the 4D set, a patient-specific motion model was derived, as well as a regression relationship between the 3D anatomy and 2D slice images taken with a specific geometry. The second dataset was a series of fast 2D gradient-echo images of the same subject, which are used via the regression relationship to estimate the 3D body poses at each time point. Before testing on the acquired 2D dataset, CLARET was tested on a simulated dataset which confirmed the method accurately predicted random warps of the dataset. In a free breathing experiment, the CLARET procedure gave motion estimates that reduced alignment error mean and variance in the 2D frames. We conclude that CLARET can be applied in an MRI setting and produces fast instantaneous motion estimates with less registration error than a time-averaged estimate.

description: The common real-world feature of individuals migrating through a network -- either in real space or online -- significantly complicates understanding of network processes. Here we show that even though a network may appear static on average, underlying nodal mobility can dramatically distort outbreak profiles. Highly nonlinear dynamical regimes emerge in which increasing mobility either amplifies or suppresses outbreak severity. Predicted profiles mimic recent outbreaks of real-space contagion (social unrest) and online contagion (pro-ISIS support). We show that this nodal mobility can be renormalized in a precise way for a particular class of dynamical networks.
Gender-tuning: Empowering Fine-tuning for Debiasing Pre-trained Language Models

description: Recent studies have revealed that the widely-used Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) propagate societal biases from the large unmoderated pre-training corpora. Existing solutions require debiasing training processes and datasets for debiasing, which are resource-intensive and costly. Furthermore, these methods hurt the PLMs' performance on downstream tasks. In this study, we propose Gender-tuning, which debiases the PLMs through fine-tuning on downstream tasks' datasets. For this aim, Gender-tuning integrates Masked Language Modeling (MLM) training objectives into fine-tuning's training process. Comprehensive experiments show that Gender-tuning outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines in terms of average gender bias scores in PLMs while improving PLMs' performance on downstream tasks solely using the downstream tasks' dataset. Also, Gender-tuning is a deployable debiasing tool for any PLM that works with original fine-tuning.
