description: Background*

Faculty development (FD) programs can enhance the pedagogical skills of educators. Effective FD programs should be needs-based in terms of faculty, institutional, and socio-cultural requirements. Pakistani medical colleges lack structured needs-based FD programs; therefore, a FD program was planned, implemented, and evaluated in one female-only private sector medical college of Pakistan, Women Medical & Dental College (WM&DC).



Summary of Work*

This action research explored the key elements and impact of a needs-based FD program in one medical college of Pakistan. A needs assessment online questionnaire was distributed among all faculty members of WM&DC in February 2022. To identify the institutional needs, discussions in academic and administrative forums of WM&DC took place. Based on the faculty and institutional needs, training sessions were conducted in 2022-23. Each training session was evaluated using a questionnaire. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants to gain in-depth insights on the impact and key elements of the FD program. These were audio-recorded, transcribed, and thematic analysis was employed to identify emerging themes.



Summary of Results*

A total of 34 faculty members responded to the needs assessment online questionnaire (67.6% respondents thought that the activities should be conducted face-to-face compared to online). This identified topics including multiple-choice questions (MCQs) development, teaching and assessment strategies, use of teaching aids, research skills development, and curriculum development. Other areas such as quality enhancement, work-life balance, workplace harassment, and study guides development were identified in institutional needs assessment. A total of 10 training sessions were conducted in 2022-23. Results of the evaluation questionnaire showed that the delivery of the training sessions were satisfactory in terms of content, structure, interactivity etc. The participants in the semi-structured interviews thought that the FD program helped them develop pedagogical skills which in turn benefitted the students. They identified four key components to make a FD program successful: 1) Needs-based and context-specific, 2) Applicable content, 4) Networking opportunities, and 4) Learner-centered and interactive activities.



Discussion and Conclusion*

Structured needs-based FD programs incorporating key context-specific components can enhance the pedagogical skills of faculty members.



Take Home Message*

FD programs should be needs-based, context-specific, applicable, learner-centered and should provide adequate networking opportunities.
Impulsive and Long Duration High-Energy Gamma-ray Emission From the Very Bright 2012 March 7 Solar Flares
Creators: name: LAT Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) observed two bright X-class solar flares on 2012 March 7, and detected gamma-rays up to 4 GeV. We detected gamma-rays both during the impulsive and temporally-extended emission phases, with emission above 100 MeV lasting for approximately 20 hours. Accurate localization of the gamma-ray production site(s) coincide with the solar active region from which X-ray emissions associated with these flares originated. Our analysis of the >100 MeV gamma-ray emission shows a relatively rapid monotonic decrease in flux during the first hour of the impulsive phase, and a much slower, almost monotonic decrease in flux for the next 20 hours. The spectra can be adequately described by a power law with a high energy exponential cutoff, or as resulting from the decay of neutral pions produced by accelerated protons and ions with an isotropic power-law energy distribution. The required proton spectrum has a number index ~3, with minor variations during the impulsive phase, while during the temporally extended phase the spectrum softens monotonically, starting with index ~4. The >30 MeV proton flux and spectra observed near the Earth by the GOES satellites also show a monotonic flux decrease and spectral softening during the extended phase, but with a harder spectrum, with index ~3. Based on the Fermi-LAT and GOES observations of the flux and spectral evolution of these bright flares, we explore the relative merits of prompt and continuous acceleration scenarios, hadronic and leptonic emission processes, and acceleration at the solar corona by the fast Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) as explanations for the observations. We conclude that the most likely scenario is continuous acceleration of protons in the solar corona which penetrate the lower solar atmosphere and produce pions that decay into gamma-rays.

description: Ecological trade-offs between species are often invoked to explain species coexistence in ecological communities. However, few mathematical models have been proposed for which coexistence conditions can be characterized explicitly in terms of a trade-off. Here we present a model of a plant community which allows such a characterization. In the model plant species compete for sites where each site has a fixed stress condition. Species differ both in stress tolerance and competitive ability. Stress tolerance is quantified as the fraction of sites with stress conditions low enough to allow establishment. Competitive ability is quantified as the propensity to win the competition for empty sites. We derive the deterministic, discrete-time dynamical system for the species abundances. We prove the conditions under which plant species can coexist in a stable equilibrium. We show that the coexistence conditions can be characterized graphically, clearly illustrating the trade-off between stress tolerance and competitive ability. We compare our model with a recently proposed, continuous-time dynamical system for a tolerance-fecundity trade-off in plant communities, and we show that this model is a special case of the continuous-time version of our model.

description: Potato cultivation in Germany has expanded enormously over the last thirty years. The aim of the study is to carry out an analysis of the current situation of the potato with a view to the future of a sustainable consumption. The supply chain and the consumer, their advances, problems, and needs, as well as the role of social, economic, and cultural actors in making a coordinated contribution to sustainable development are investigated. A view through information collected from governmental and non-governmental agencies, statistical reports, and fieldwork on the supply of potatoes, and information available to the consumer is provided. As a result, it concludes with the importance of emerging local initiatives and the need of public policies that enforces a conscious consumption in the citizens.
Electron-electron interactions in non-equilibrium bilayer graphene

description: Conducting steady-states of doped bilayer graphene have a non-zero sublattice pseudospin polarization. Electron-electron interactions renormalize this polarization even at zero temperature, when the phase space for electron-electron scattering vanishes. We show that because of the strength of interlayer tunneling, electron-electron interactions nevertheless have a negligible influence on the conductivity which vanishes as the carrier number density goes to zero. The influence of interactions is qualitatively weaker than in the comparable cases of single-layer graphene or topological insulators, because the momentum-space layer pseudospin vorticity is 2 rather than 1. Our study relies on the quantum Liouville equation in the first Born approximation with respect to the scattering potential, with electron-electron interactions taken into account self-consistently in the Hartree-Fock approximation and screening in the random phase approximation. Within this framework the result we obtain is exact.

description: In Barcelona, food markets have always been a symbol of the city. In recent decades, by adapting to new forms of consumption, they have conformed to largescale distribution, selling only a small percentage of local farmers’ products. Through the project described below—“Alimentar el Barrio”—actions have been undertaken to support farmers, by improving the current market system with low-impact micro-interventions. The research describes a way to create a new “system” of market making to promote local culture and products, thus regenerating the urban space, driving communities towards responsible food consumption, and spreading best practices. This paper shows how design and communication can provide farmers with an adequate physical and culture-driven infrastructure, to increase their competitiveness and decrease inequalities of the large-scale distribution.
Noise reduction methods in analysis of near infrared lunar occultation light curves for high angular resolution measurements

description: Lunar occultation (LO) technique in the near-infrared provides angular resolution down to milliarcseconds on the occulted source even with ground-based 1m class telescopes. LO observations are limited to brighter objects because they require high signal to noise ratio (S/N ~ 40) for proper extraction of angular diameter values. Hence, methods to improve the S/N ratio by reducing noise using Fourier and Wavelet transforms have been explored in this study. A sample of 54 near-infrared LO light curves observed with IR Camera at Mt Abu observatory has been used. It is seen that both Fourier and Wavelet methods have shown improvement in S/N, compared to the original data. However, the application of wavelet transforms results in slight smoothening of the fringes resulting in a higher angular diameter value. Fourier transforms which reduce discrete noise frequencies do not distort the fringe. Fourier transform method seems to be effective in S/N improvement, as well as improved model fit particularly in the fainter regime of our sample. They also provide a better model fit for brighter sources in some cases though there may not be significant S/N improvement.

description: Starting from the observation of an evident precariousness in the contemporary relationship between man and food, this contribution is meant to show a new proposal of workshops for children in the K=12, Grade 4–5 category, aimed at stimulating in a creative and experiential way a critical and conscious thinking about food. Starting from the methodology of Artful Thinking and Object Based Learning, the project shifts the pedagogical focus from the interaction with the artistic object to the interaction with the design object; and in particular with the movable type, identified as an activating element of the educational process in the transition from Artful to Typeful Thinking. The Typeful Thinking workshop therefore represents a potentially innovative food education tool that leverages on the concretisation of critical thinking through five thinking routines that go from conceptual abstraction - through a physical artefact, the letterpress printing - to their tangibility.

description: The paper aims to identify the role of Design Culture in adopting food and gastronomic practices as strategic tools to enhance dialogues between different cultures. The research analyses the cases in which contemporary Design Culture adopts food as a possibility of social inclusion, understanding of the global flows of people, transformation techniques, and novel rituals. Food and food cycles can be interpreted as "language", as well as an opportunity to create circular business activities based on the rediscovery and on the strengthening of the links between territories and communities in a globalised scenario increasingly attentive to the experiences of fusion between cultures. Design culture can become a mediator, a facilitator and a promoter of solutions and models of integration between cultural components we commonly consider "strong" and "weak", "host" and "settled", "traditional" and "modern", "slow" and "fast", "typical" and "atopic". Thus an "open" scenario is outlined in which projects and researches oriented to the diffusion of more sustainable and "community centred" food cultures are renewed and take on new meanings. New cultures emerge which, while keeping their cultural roots, evolve into a transcultural society. The Design Culture is called to recognise and co-design these new “food acts” of the contemporary transcultural societies.

description: Barycentric corrections made to the timing of Kepler observations, necessitated by variations in light arrival time at the satellite, break the regular time-sampling of the data -- the time stamps are periodically modulated. A consequence is that Nyquist aliases are split into multiplets that can be identified by their shape. Real pulsation frequencies are distinguishable from these aliases and their frequencies are completely recoverable, even in the super-Nyquist regime, that is, when the sampling interval is longer than half the pulsation period. We provide an analytical derivation of the phenomenon, alongside demonstrations with simulated and real Kepler data for δSct, roAp, and sdBV stars. For Kepler data sets spanning more than one Kepler orbital period (372.5 d), there are no Nyquist ambiguities on the determination of pulsation frequencies, which are the fundamental data of asteroseismology.

description: Contemporary cities are constantly evolving and digital processes seem to have entered overwhelmingly into every activity daily life as well as into everyone's home. But how much and in which way this transition will affect positively our social and working life is still to be demonstrated. In food supply chains, whether in production, processing or disposal applications, the innovation factor related to digital processes still represents an early-stage field of investigation. Advanced research on Bio-materials derived from food-waste are a strong bet for urban environments, where product replacement can significantly reduce CO2 emissions and foster the implementation of a new raw material policy to rebalance the support bio-based strategies versus industrial material use. This paper explores some urban challenges and examples related to ICT implementation and creative methods connected to 3D printing and digital fabrication connected to food waste valorisation able to influence we live our domestic spaces.

description: The research presented in this paper investigates the development of a modular system, which supports the growth of edible oyster mushrooms in the urban environment (i.e. public space, facades, rooftops), by producing both food and construction materials. It consists of modules to locate the mushroom substrate (straw and mycelium) and an external surface, parametrically designed, tailored to control the environmental conditions (e.g. shading and humidity). In order to develop a growing module as sustainable as possible, wood has been selected for realisation of panels and the frame structure. A second main objective of the installation, is to act as a demonstrator: creating a ‘culture of caring’ for locally sourced and produced food. The paper explores the complex design negotiations between these drivers, focusing particularly on their performance optimization, and finally highlights the system potential as exemplified through a successful implementation of a 1:1 responsive wall prototype.

description: The best gravitational lenses for detecting distant galaxies are those with the largest mass concentrations and the most advantageous configurations of that mass along the line of sight. Our new method for finding such gravitational telescopes uses optical data to identify projected concentrations of luminous red galaxies (LRGs). LRGs are biased tracers of the underlying mass distribution, so lines of sight with the highest total luminosity in LRGs are likely to contain the largest total mass. We apply this selection technique to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and identify the 200 fields with the highest total LRG luminosities projected within a 3.5' radius over the redshift range 0.1 < z < 0.7. The redshift and angular distributions of LRGs in these fields trace the concentrations of non-LRG galaxies. These fields are diverse; 22.5% contain one known galaxy cluster and 56.0% contain multiple known clusters previously identified in the literature. Thus, our results confirm that these LRGs trace massive structures and that our selection technique identifies fields with large total masses. These fields contain 2-3 times higher total LRG luminosities than most known strong-lensing clusters and will be among the best gravitational lensing fields for the purpose of detecting the highest redshift galaxies.

description: The current narrative of the World’s plastic consumption, promiscuously sprawls at the shores of economically competitive coastal regions, in the streets of vulnerable developing nations, and in the digestive tracts of the native animals that depend on the dwindling resources of their environment. Since plastic waste production increasingly proliferates almost all known and unknown regions of the planet, many methods and efforts to degrade, eliminate, and convert these compounds are being investigated. This project investigates the use of biological agents, mealworms and superworms, to directly convert plastic into organic matter using their natural digestive process.

description: The preparation of food usually follows a recipe towards a tasty dish. While such a recipe is usually just a guideline for the person cooking a meal for themselves or family, it was sometimes raised to the status of a chemical formula in Taylorist modernism, leading to repeatable dishes branded as trademarks of food franchises. (Preble, 1993) However, taste changes; today’s consumer is more interested in options and customisable orders. This is underlined by a survey published in the Wall Street Journal, whereas only one in five millennials ever tasted a Big Mac®.(Jargon, 2016) The former flagship burger seems to get less important under ever changing seasonal features and a wider menu then in Taylorist times. The desire for customisability in the food industry can be seen from Coca Cola’s printing names on Coke cans, to ordering your custom cereals at mymuesly.com, or simply personalising your burger at the food delivery service of your choice. This paper tries to follow this trend to an extreme, proposing a computer game-like approach to collaboratively topping up a pizza1 in virtual reality (VR) and preparing it using an augmented reality (AR) guiding mechanism.

description: In recent years numerous service and communication design projects have faced the problem of food waste and helped make the fight against it more efficient. How motion design tools can contribute to prevent this problem? The paper presents a project that consists in creating a shared platform of animated video recipes, prepared by using food at the end of its lifecycle. Participation, community, education, information and technology are the “ingredients” of the project, that operates through an online sharing platform. The platform has an attractive interface, and bring together ludic aspects, technological tools and animated contents. Addressed audience, indeed, collects animated video recipes in a “personal cookbook”, leaves feedbacks and suggestions, and participates in activities such as quizzes and scoring games. Animated representation of food also evokes a meaningful tradition that charges the action of cooking with a strong symbolic value, and makes it an instrument of knowledge of culinary, cultural and social traditions. The goal of the paper is to test project’s attractiveness, effectiveness, margins of development and variation before releasing the beta version.

description: Rural Studio Farm was established in 2010 to raise the question: “How should we eat in rural settings?” The project is the brainchild of Rural Studio, an off-campus design and build architecture program, part of Auburn University School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture, in Alabama. Located in Newbern, a village 150 km north-west of Montgomery, Rural Studio initiated its activity in Hale County, one of the poorest regions in the United States. The focus is set on students’ education, while assisting the underserved local community, suggesting that everyone, deserves the benefit of good architecture, sustainable design and permaculture. By designing, building and working at the farm, students learn to be critical architects and educated consumers, while giving the local community an alternative vision to the large-scale American food system. The idea is to plant a philosophy, beyond planting food.

description: Architectural creation is always affected by technological development and availability of resources. The aspects of globalisation, urbanisation, planetarization are demanding creative reactions from humanity. ICTs can promote better informed decision-making by reducing digital divide and actionable intelligence for our future urban sustainability. This could improve the efficiency, operation and transparency of physical infrastructure and flexible distribution of resources in urban, district and home habitat. This paper examines two distinct examples of twenty-first century housing model: The Kitchenless project of Anna Puigjaner and the Automated Living System of Design Computation Lab. Both projects are building on the effects of a certain kind of industrial revolution on housing with a distinct approach.

description: Storage planning is an important element of the factory planning and a significant competitive factor in times of an increasing global market [1]. The selection of a suitable storage, commissioning and transport system (sct system) is a major challenge for companies, because of the increasing number of new sct systems with different features. The level of automation and versatility of these systems are intransparent and the required level of both for a certain company is unknown [2,3]. To identify the level of versatility of sct systems a method based on versatility characteristics assigned to the versatility enablers was developed [4]. To determine the required versatility of sct systems for a particular company, a catalogue of change drivers was created. For the level of automation of sct systems, the requirements resulting from product characteristics and performance requirements of the warehouse were identified. The performance of the sct systems depends on the automation level, which can be set by influencing factors such as the degree of digitalization. The required level of automation must be determined by restrictions of the company and the identified possibilities of the systems [1]. At the same time, it is required to consider the costs of the systems as well as their possible combinations. Therefore, to save costs, the aim is also to consider systems which do not fit perfectly to the required versatility and automation level for a company but are still at an acceptable level.

description: The importance of supply chain management and its related complex activities has been widely noted recently. Many companies desire to enter the international market in today’s competitive environment, and logistics could be a significant strategic tool as well as information source. On the one hand, the emergence of third-party logistic companies have solved many of their entry problems and accordingly gained a great deal of attention. On the other hand, there are many barriers that, despite great need, stop companies from trusting and outsourcing their responsibilities to another party. This paper has surveyed retailers about their problems with outsourcing their logistics activities. While some factors such as a problem in the coordination are not considered important by the retailers, there are some interesting issues like law barriers and the absence of good review that would stop them choosing a third party to handle logistic activities.

description: Industrial practice shows a strong trend towards digitalization. It is not only economic crises, such as those triggered by Covid-19, that are reinforcing this trend. It is also the entrepreneurial urge to fulfill customer wishes in the best possible way and to adapt to new requirements as quickly as possible. Due to the advancing digitalization, the role of business application systems in manufacturing companies is therefore becoming increasingly important. The data processed in IT-Systems represent a great potential, especially for the evaluation of change requests in production. Through efficient change management, companies can record and process changes quickly. However, the necessary data basis to decide on existing change requests is still hardly used. Existing IT-Systems for change management coordinate the processing of change requests, but do not relate to data of operational application systems such as Enterprise-Resource-Planning. Therefore, a conceptual approach is required for the evaluation of change requests. This approach is based on an objective recording system that enables the transformation from the change description to an evaluation space. The paper presents an approach for the systematic transfer of requirement characteristics into the world of operational IT-Systems.
Quadratic Residue Codes over F_p+vF_p and their Gray Images

description: In this paper quadratic residue codes over the ring Fp + vFp are introduced in terms of their idempotent generators. The structure of these codes is studied and it is observed that these codes share similar properties with quadratic residue codes over finite fields. For the case p = 2, Euclidean and Hermitian self-dual families of codes as extended quadratic residue codes are considered and two optimal Hermitian self-dual codes are obtained as examples. Moreover, a substantial number of good p-ary codes are obtained as images of quadratic residue codes over Fp +vFp in the cases where p is an odd prime. These results are presented in tables.

description: Digital Transformation in logistics and supply chain management is a challenge and a big chance for companies at the same time. It can open new business areas by providing new products and services. However, as promising as the digital transformation looks, the challenges for a successful transformation are not to underestimate. Many companies fail during the digital transformation process. This paper aims to shed light on why some companies have difficulties with digital transformation and others not by looking at the hurdles and responsibilities involved. By comparing the limitations and obligations, this paper identifies gaps and ambiguities that might lead to failure. A structured qualitative literature review presents the status quo of the actual scientific discourse in digital transformation, sums up tasks and barriers of the digital transformation in companies, and derives initial recommendations for action. This paper shows that a digital transformation’s hurdles and barriers are multifaceted and can be located on different enterprise levels. Enterprise culture and the top management’s awareness and capabilities are essential for digital transformation. The same applies to the tasks of a digital transformation.

description: In certain field theoretical models, composite solitons consisting of a domain wall and vortex lines attached to the wall have been referred to as D-brane solitons. We show that similar composite solitons can be realized in phase-separated two-component Bose-Einstein condensates. We discuss the similarities and differences between topological solitons in the Abelian-Higgs model and those in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates. Based on the formulation of gauge theory, we introduce the "boojum charge" to characterize the "D-brane soliton" in Bose-Einstein condensates.

description: The range of tasks performed by industrial robots has become increasingly comprehensive in recent decades. This includes pick-and-place tasks with low to medium handling weights, as well as material processing tasks with medium to high processing forces. Milling in particular involves high-frequency excitation of the material, which results in vibration phenomena and therefor affects the surface quality of the product. These effects were investigated by milling tests at characteristic positions and in different orientations of the milling spindle, using aluminum. For this purpose, based on an experimental modal analysis, a prediction model of the robot's natural frequencies in dependence of the joint positions was developed. This allowed the determination of characteristic milling positions and milling spindle orientations. Subsequently, the milling results were related to a causal connection and were analyzed regarding the natural frequencies.
