description: Fitting a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) model using a maximum likelihood (ML) estimator to the same data can lead to different solutions in model fit and standardized model parameters. Such discrepancies are prevalent for (1) different identification strategies (i.e., standardized latent variables or first loading set to unity) and (2) a varying item order. Differences in CFA results due to identification strategy or item order may seem confusing at first glance but can be easily explained. Changing the identification strategy or the item order affects the starting values for the model estimation. These different starting values may cause the estimation to converge in different local maxima and, thus, lead to different estimation results. To investigate this systematically, we will examine the probability of local maxima occurrences and the probability of R lavaan’s maximum likelihood estimation converging in them.
This is an exploratory Monte Carlo simulation study using R lavaan’s ML estimation for CFA. The study aims to determine the conditions for and prevalence of local maxima in ML estimation (i.e., item loadings, correlation of latent factors in the population, and specification of the analysis model). Datasets will be simulated for a population model with two latent factors. Loadings within and correlations between the latent factors will be varied systematically in the population model. We will estimate various (misspecified) analysis models for the simulated data. These analysis models vary in their number of latent factors and their residual item covariances. As outcomes, we evaluate the prevalence of local maxima, the prevalence of convergence on those maxima, and model fit.
Climate change and variations in mountain pasture values in the central-eastern Italian Alps in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

description: This study investigates variations in pasture lease rents during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in a sector of the Italian Alps and how these correlate with climate changes. Analysis of the rents in the three data sets clearly demonstrates a sharp increase over the period considered, which can generally be ascribed to increased human pressure following population growth during the same period. Oscillations in the values obtained for fifty-year periods between the last half of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth suggest a strong connection with environmental and climatic factors. Increases or decreases in temperature seem to have a less marked and less direct effect on the values of grazing lands close to the upper limit of vegetation, while socio-economic and infrastructural signals impinge significantly on climate signals on the grazing lands at lower altitudes.

description: This study estimated poultry farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for fly larvae meal as animal protein source to feed local chickens in Benin. A double-bounded contingent valuation approach was used to collect data from 480 poultry farmers, and an interval regression model was performed. We found that 82.10% of poultry farmers are willing to pay for using fly larvae meal. The average WTP was estimated at FCFA/kg 225.10 (€/kg 0.34), indicating a potential and reliable demand in fly larvae meal. Our analysis suggests that public actions can sensitize poultry farmers and support innovative small companies to produce and market fly larvae meal.

Year: 2019

description: Primary agriculture is a textbook example of competitive supply with many producers outputting homogenous products, in contrast to firms in the processed food sector produce heterogeneous products while differing in productivity. Our model of trade reform explicitly accounts for the differences between the markets for primary agriculture and food processing. To demonstrate this point, we use a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to quantify potential impacts of a trade agreement between the EU and US. Crucially, our heterogeneity-firm setup allows for the allocation of NTMs as ‘fixed costs’, which provides an alternative angle to previous literature that only considered NTM costs in a more conventional framework (e.g., tariff equivalent). Further, the use of this framework allows us to provide detailed welfare impacts, providing more information on the impacts to consumers who purchase mainly processed food and little primary agricultural output, a point often unrepresented in previous analysis of NTM reform.

To measure the performance of pia airlines and access the impact of leadership on performance using a balanced scorecard
Creators: name: Asghar, Zoya
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This research study aims to evaluate PIA Airlines' performance and assess leadership's influence using the balanced scorecard (BSC) model. The study examines the conceptual framework and investigates the relationship between performance and revenue in the airline industry. Although the positive link between performance and financial position is wellestablished, limited research has explored the significance of the BSC model.The study collects time series data from 2011 to 2020, including financial conditions, customer opinions, and financial performance ratios of PIA Airlines. The BSC analyses financial, customer, learning and growth perspectives. Additionally, cross-sectional data analysis compares PIA Airlines with three randomly selected airlines (Delta Airlines, Sri Lankan Airlines, and Singapore Airlines) from 2016 to 2020.The conceptual framework examines the internal process perspective of PIA Airlines and identifies predictors and outcomes of leadership conduct. Structural equation modelling is conducted using SPSS (21) and AMOS (24), and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) includes KMO & Bartlett's test.The study finds that political interference moderates the relationship between leadership conduct and PIA Airlines' performance, while corruption moderates the relationship between leaders' decision-making and leadership conduct. A positive relationship exists between the use of advanced technology and leaders' communication. However, unexpected circumstances lead to lacking support for H1 and H3.Results indicate that the customer perspective is not significantly associated with sustaining the airline's performance. However, financial attitude, internal leadership, learning & growth perspectives, and environmental perspectives positively impact PIA's performance. The study also reveals the distinct culture and values within the airline industry in Pakistan.Furthermore, the study suggests exploring sustainability-balanced scorecards (SBSCs) to address environmental, social, and ethical issues. Industry leaders can leverage this opportunity to examine how SBSCs are incorporated and determine causal links between various perspectives, providing insights into past underdevelopment of such models.Overall, this research sheds light on the performance of PIA Airlines and its relationship with leadership. It contributes to understanding the airline industry and provides recommendations for incorporating sustainability perspectives into performance measurement frameworks
Bioeconomy and the Common Agricultural Policy: will a strategy in search of policies meet a policy in search of strategies?
Creators: name: Viaggi, Davide
Publisher: name: Bio-based and Applied Economics
Year: 2019

description: Both the revised EU Bioeconomy strategy and the proposals for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 2021-2027 were released in 2018. This paper explores the connection between these two policy areas, the needs for economic and policy research and the way economic literature in the field of the Bioeconomy is meeting these needs. The paper concludes that the two policies are highly complementary in principle, but the current exploitation of potential synergies is largely delegated to the implementation stage of the CAP, hence to country and local programming authorities. To make both policies effective, and to bring about constructive synergies, the availability of bridging concepts allowing for territorial-level integration of chain and ecosystem services views is key. However, on the practical side, monitoring indicators for policy and economic/management support to developing sectors is even more important. Support to innovation design, uptake and exploitation will remain key to the sector and will need a proactive and participatory collaboration among multiple actors. The increased relevance of the role of ecosystem services and environmental attention in both policies will make the results more dependent on the ability to understand the value of public goods and to incorporate them into policy design and marketing strategies.

description: PANDORA, Plasmas for Astrophysics, Nuclear Decays Observation and Radiation for Archaeometry, is planned as a new facility based on a state-of-the-art plasma trap confining energetic plasma for performing interdisciplinary research in the fields of Nuclear Astrophysics, Astrophysics, Plasma Physics and Applications in Material Science and Archaeometry: the plasmas become the environment for measuring nuclear decays rates in stellar-like condition (such as 7Be decay and beta-decay involved in s-process nucleosynthesis), especially as a function of the ionization state of the plasma ions. These studies are of paramount importance for addressing several astrophysical issues in both stellar and primordial nucleosynthesis environment (e.g. determination of solar neutrino flux and 7Li Cosmological Problem), moreover the confined energetic plasma will be a unique light source for high performance stellar spectroscopy measurements in the visible, UV and X-ray domains, offering advancements in observational astronomy. As to magnetic fields, the experimental validation of theoretical first and second order Landé factors will drive the layout of next generation polarimetric units for the high resolution spectrograph of the future giant telescopes. In PANDORA new plasma heating methods will be explored, that will push forward the ion beam output, in terms of extracted intensity and charge states. More, advanced and optimized injection methods of ions in an ECR plasma will be experimented, with the aim at optimizing its capture efficiency. This will be applied to the ECR-based Charge Breeding technique, that will improve the performances of the SPES ISOL-facility currently installed at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro-INFN. Finally, PANDORA will be suitable for energy conversion, making the plasma as a source of electromagnetic radiation, for applications in Material Science and Archaeometry.

description: X-ray analysis has provided structural data about a pH-driven conformational change in β-lactoglobulin (BLG) known as the Tanford transition, which occurs at around pH 7 and involves the EF loop, which acts as a lid closing the internal cavity of the protein below pH 7 and opening it above pH 7. NMR studies using wild-type BLG have encountered problems trying to explain the Tanford transition, however, they have provided important insight using a dimeric BLG mutant, revealing that the opening and closure of the EF loop consists of two types of motions in the microsecond and milliseconds timescales. This provides valuable information indicating that the dimeric state is a good model to study the Tanford transition, although the understanding of this structural change is still lacking at the atomic level. We performed microsecond molecular dynamics (MD) simulations starting from different conformations of BLG in the monomeric and dimeric state, with protonated and deprotonated E89, in order to explore the Tanford transition. Our results provide structural information for the transition from the closed to the open conformation in BLG and show it occurs in the dimeric state in the microsecond timescale, in line with the fast motion observed through NMR experiments. In addition, MD simulations coupled to MMGBSA approach indicated that the most populated conformer of BLG in the open state is able to bind ligands with similar affinity to that of BLG at neutral pH obtained through crystallographic experiments.

description: Inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase (CAIs) hold promise for addressing various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and other metabolic syndromes. CAV is the only isoform present in the mitochondria and is considered a potential drug target for obesity. In this work, we have developed C2, and C4 substituted oxazole-5(4H)-one derivatives as a new scaffold for the selective inhibition of human carbonic anhydrase VA (hCAVA). Synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and LC-MS mass spectrometry and subsequently evaluated for in vitro hCAVA inhibition. Two compounds, 4 and 5 showed a considerably higher binding affinity for hCAVA in comparison to the hCAII. Further, cell-based studies showed that these compounds decrease the expression of CAVA and GLUT4 in adipocytes and non-toxic to HEK293 cells. The present work opens a platform for the use of oxazole-5(4H)-ones and holds promise for further refinement of potent and selective hCAVA inhibitors. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: We assess the performance of nonempirical, truly nonlocal and semi-local functionals with regard to structural and thermal properties of $3d$, $4d$, and $5d$ non-magnetic transition metals. We focus on constraint-based functionals and consider the new consistent-exchange van der Waals density functional version vdW-DF-cx [Phys. Rev. B 89, 035412 (2014)], the semi-local PBE [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 3865 (1996)] and PBEsol functionals [Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 136406 (2008)] as well as the AM05 meta-functional [Phys. Rev. B 72, 085108 (2005)]. Using the quasi-harmonic approximation structural parameters, elastic response, and thermal expansion at finite temperatures are computed and compared to experimental data. We also compute cohesive energies explicitly including zero-point vibrations. It is shown that overall vdW-DF-cx provides an accurate description of thermal properties and retains a level of transferability and accuracy that is comparable to or better than some of the best constraint-based semi-local functionals. Especially, with regard to the cohesive energies the consistent inclusion of spin polarization effects in the atoms turns out to be crucial and it is important to use the rigorous spin-vdW-DF-cx formulation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 136402 (2015)]. This demonstrates that vdW-DF-cx has general-purpose character and can be used to study systems that have both sparse and dense electron distributions.

description: Novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has infected 18 million people with 700,000+ mortalities worldwide and this deadly numeric figure is rapidly rising. With very few success stories, the therapeutic targeting of this epidemic has been mainly attributed to main protease (Mpro), whilst Papain-like proteases (PLpro) also plays a vital role in the processing of replicase polyprotein. Multifunctional roles of PLpro such as viral polypeptide cleavage, de-ISGlyation and immune suppression have made it a promising drug target for therapeutic interventions. Whilst there have been a number of studies and others are on-going on repurposing and new-small molecule screening, albeit previously FDA approved drugs viz. Chloroquine (CQ) and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) have only been found effective against this pandemic. Inspired by this fact, we have carried out molecular docking and dynamics simulation studies of FDA approved CQ and HCQ against SARS-CoV-2 PLpro. The end aim is to characterise the binding mode of CQ and HCQ and identify the key amino acid residues involved in the mechanism of action. Further, molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) were carried out with the docked complex to search for the conformational space and for understanding the integrity of binding mode. We showed that the CQ and HCQ can bind with better binding affinity with PLpro as compared to reference known PLpro inhibitor. Based on the presented findings, it can be anticipated that the SARS-CoV-2 PLpro may act as molecular target of CQ and HCQ, and can be projected for further exploration to design potent inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 PLpro in the near future.
A conservative sharp-interface method for compressible multi-material flows

description: In this paper we develop a conservative sharp-interface method dedicated to simulating multiple compressible fluids. Numerical treatments for a cut cell shared by more than two materials are proposed. First, we simplify the interface interaction inside such a cell with a reduced model to avoid explicit interface reconstruction and complex flux calculation. Second, conservation is strictly preserved by an efficient conservation correction procedure for the cut cell. To improve the robustness, a multi-material scale separation model is developed to consistently remove non-resolved interface scales. In addition, the multi-resolution method and local time-stepping scheme are incorporated into the proposed multi-material method to speed up the high-resolution simulations. Various numerical test cases, including the multi-material shock tube problem, inertial confinement fusion implosion, triple-point shock interaction and shock interaction with multi-material bubbles, show that the method is suitable for a wide range of complex compressible multi-material flows.

description: Facebook, the most popular Online social network is a virtual environment where users share information and are in contact with friends. Apart from many useful aspects, there is a large amount of personal and sensitive information publicly available that is accessible to external entities/users. In this paper we study the public exposure of Facebook profile attributes to understand what type of attributes are considered more sensitive by Facebook users in terms of privacy, and thus are rarely disclosed, and which attributes are available in most Facebook profiles. Furthermore, we also analyze the public exposure of Facebook users by accounting the number of attributes that users make publicly available on average. To complete our analysis we have crawled the profile information of 479K randomly selected Facebook users. Finally, in order to demonstrate the utility of the publicly available information in Facebook profiles we show in this paper three case studies. The first one carries out a gender-based analysis to understand whether men or women share more or less information. The second case study depicts the age distribution of Facebook users. The last case study uses data inferred from Facebook profiles to map the distribution of worldwide population across cities according to its size.

title: The lived experiences of autistic children in mainstream primary schools in England
Creators: name: Billington, Jo
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: The majority of identified autistic children in the English state school system are educated in
mainstream settings. However, many autistic children and young people in such settings have
difficult school experiences and impoverished educational outcomes. While a great deal is known
about the particular difficulties school-aged autistic children face, how they make sense of these
challenges has received less attention from researchers.
Much of the extant research relating to the school experience of autistic children involves
standardised testing or parent and teacher reports, with the perspectives of autistic children
occupying a less prominent position in the literature. Furthermore, the experiences of younger
autistic children who attend mainstream primary schools are significantly underrepresented in the
literature, especially those who do not meet the criteria for specialist support and resources.
The research in this thesis aimed to address this gap in the literature and amplify the voices of
autistic children by conducting an inductive qualitative investigation into the subjective everyday
experiences of autistic children in mainstream primary schools in England. Specifically, the research
focused on autistic children without access to specialist support or resources and took a
neurodiversity-affirming approach to exploring how such children describe and make sense of their
everyday experiences of mainstream primary school.
In total, three studies were conducted which provided insight into the everyday experiences of
autistic children in mainstream primary schools from three different viewpoints: 1) from the
perspective of the extant qualitative literature, 2) from the perspective of autistic young adults
reflecting back on their primary school years and, 3) from the perspective of autistic children
currently attending mainstream primary schools. The first study comprised a systematic review and
metasynthesis of the extant qualitative literature relating to the everyday experiences of autistic
children and young people in mainstream schools. The second study used a focus group
methodology and thematic analysis to explore the reflections of autistic young adults on their
primary school experiences. The final study used interpretative phenomenological analysis and
creative methods to investigate the educational experiences of autistic children in mainstream
primary schools in England.
The findings of these studies suggest that autistic children frequently feel overwhelmed by the
pressures of spending long periods of time in an environment which is not only not designed for
autistic ways of being, but in many ways can be overtly hostile towards them. The findings also
suggest that the adaptations that could make school more accessible for autistic children are likely
to be environmental, cultural and attitudinal rather than interventionist in nature.

description: Increasing intensity and frequency of hurricane events underscores the need for efficient and inclusive evacuation plans, particularly for carless and disabled populations. Hurricane evacuation intrinsically involves both social and spatial processes. People’s decision to evacuate spreads over social networks; once their decisions are made, they flee through spatial transportation networks. This article describes a novel effort to integrate socio-spatial networks into an agent-based evacuation simulation model, taking the Florida Keys in the USA as a study area. In the model, households, as agents, were synthesized from Census data, then connected by a ‘home-workplace-neighborhood’ social network, and registered to a spatial road network. A threshold decision model was used to simulate social contagion of households’ decision to evacuate. The resulting travel demands were input into the TRANSIMS platform to generate on-road traffic. The model analyzed scenarios of automobile-only and public transit-assisted evacuation. The results show that the simulated traffic under the automobile-only scenario aligns with the observed traffic dynamics, which validates our socio-spatially integrated model. Adding public transportation capacity significantly reduces the traffic load and evacuation time, and provides a practical, accessible, and equitable route to safety for low mobility populations.

description: Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania. The first-line treatment of this disease is still based on pentavalent antimonial drugs that have a high toxicity profile, which could induce parasitic resistance. Therefore, there is a critical need to discover more effective and selective novel anti-leishmanial agents. In this context, thiohydantoins are a versatile class of substances due to their simple synthesis and several biological activities. In this work, thiohydantoins 1a–l were evaluated in vitro for antileishmania activity. Among them, four derivatives (1c, 1e, 1h and 1l) showed promising IC50 values around 10 µM against promastigotes forms of Leishmania amazonensis and low cytotoxicity profile for peritoneal macrophages cells. Besides, these compounds induce oxidative stress through an increase in ROS production and the labeling of annexin-V and propidium iodide, indicating that promastigotes were undergoing a late apoptosis-like process. Additionally, molecular consensual docking analysis was carried out against two important targets to L. amazonensis: arginase and trypanothione reductase enzymes. Docking results suggest that thiohydantoin ring could be a pharmacophoric group due to its binding affinity by hydrogens bond interactions with important amino acid residues at the active site of both enzymes. These results demonstrate that compounds 1c, 1e, 1h and 1l may are promising in future advance studies. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: We describe the neutrino flavor (e = electron, u = muon, t = tau) masses as m(i=e;u;t)= m + [Delta]mi with |[Delta]mij|/m < 1 and probably |[Delta]mij|/m << 1. The quantity m is the degenerate neutrino mass. Because neutrino flavor is not a quantum number, this degenerate mass appears in the neutrino equation of state. We apply a Monte Carlo computational physics technique to the Local Group (LG) of galaxies to determine an approximate location for a Dark Matter embedding condensed neutrino object(CNO). The calculation is based on the rotational properties of the only spiral galaxies within the LG: M31, M33 and the Milky Way. CNOs could be the Dark Matter everyone is looking for and we estimate the CNO embedding the LG to have a mass 5.17x10^15 Mo and a radius 1.316 Mpc, with the estimated value of m ~= 0.8 eV/c2. The up-coming KATRIN experiment will either be the definitive result or eliminate condensed neutrinos as a Dark Matter candidate.

description: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) pose new challenges to verification and validation that go beyond the proof of functional correctness based on high-level models. Particular challenges are, in particular for formal methods, its heterogeneity and scalability. For numerical simulation, uncertain behavior can hardly be covered in a comprehensive way which motivates the use of symbolic methods. The paper describes an approach for symbolic simulation-based verification of CPS with uncertainties. We define a symbolic model and representation of uncertain computations: Affine Arithmetic Decision Diagrams. Then we integrate this approach in the SystemC AMS simulator that supports simulation in different models of computation. We demonstrate the approach by analyzing a water-level monitor with uncertainties, self-diagnosis, and error-reactions.

description: Being a part of dormancy survival regulator (DosR) regulon, Rv2004c (rough morphology and virulent strain gene) has been identified in earlier experimental studies as an indispensable protein required for the growth and survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This protein was predicted to have a role in inhibition of phospholipase A2 activity related to immuno-defence and other membrane-related events. Thus, considering significance of Rv2004c protein, a structure-based drug designing strategy was followed to identify potential inhibitors to this novel target. Initially, to validate the target, absence of homologous proteins in the host was verified through sequence and structure similarity search against human proteome. Then, a potential ligand binding site on the target was identified and virtual screening against Zinc database molecules was carried out. The top scoring hits along with their analogs were taken for docking studies with Glide. The binding free energy of the docked complexes of the Glide hits were predicted by Prime program from Schrodinger and molecules ZINC57990006, ZINC33605742, ZINC71773467 and ZINC34198774 were recognized as potential hits against this target. Analyzing the predicted pharmacokinetic properties of the molecules from QikProp and admetSAR tool, ZINC34198774 was identified as a valid molecule. Molecular dynamics simulation studies ascertained that ZINC34198774 could be a potential inhibitor against Rv2004c. Thus, results acquired from this study could be of use to design new therapeutics against tuberculosis. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Einsatz von Spürhunden zum Monitoring von Bettwanzen. Bettwanzenspürhunde werden seit einigen Jahren auch in der Schweiz eingesetzt. Durch qualitative Interviews wurden Spürhundeführer, Schädlingsbekämpfer und Anbieter im Bereich Zertifizierung von Spürhundeteams befragt zu ihrem Einsatzbereich, der Vernetzung innerhalb der Branche sowie ihrer Einschätzung über die Zukunft des Bettwanzenmonitorings. Die meisten Spürhundeteams sind sowohl für Private als auch für gewerbliche Kunden tätig. Untersucht wurden die Zertifizierungen der Bed Bug Foundation sowie die ISO 9000:2015 Zertifizierung der SK-9 sowie mögliche Gründe, die ausgebildeten Spürhunde nicht zertifizieren zu lassen. Einigkeit herrscht grösstenteils bei den Fähigkeiten, die ein Spürhund mitbringen soll, dagegen birgt hauptsächlich die Häufigkeit der Überprüfungen und gewisse Vorschriften innerhalb der Zertifzierungsorganisationen Diskussionsbedarf. Eine Vernetzung auch über die Organisationen hinaus findet kaum statt. Sämtliche Fachpersonen teilen die Ansicht, dass die Qualität innerhalb der Branche insgesamt erhöht werden muss, um in Zukunft noch wirkungsvoller gegen Bettwanzenbefall vorgehen zu können.

description: We present a continuous-filtering Vernier spectrometer operating in the 3.15-3.4 $μ$m range, based on a femtosecond doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator, a cavity with a finesse of 340, a grating mounted on a galvo scanner and two photodiodes. The spectrometer allows acquisition of one spectrum spanning 250 nm of bandwidth in 25 ms with 8 GHz resolution, sufficient for resolving molecular lines at atmospheric pressure. An active lock ensures good frequency and intensity stability of the consecutive spectra and enables continuous signal acquisition and efficient averaging. The relative frequency scale is calibrated using a Fabry-Perot etalon or, alternatively, the galvo scanner position signal. We measure spectra of pure CH${_4}$ as well as dry and laboratory air and extract CH${_4}$ and H${_2}$O concentrations by multiline fitting of model spectra. The figure of merit of the spectrometer is 1.7x10${^-}$${^9}$ cm${^-}$${^1}$ Hz${^-}$${^1}$${^/}$${^2}$ per spectral element and the minimum detectable concentration of CH${_4}$ is 360 ppt Hz${^-}$${^1}$${^/}$${^2}$, averaging down to 90 ppt after 16 s.
