description: Understanding the spatiotemporal distribution of infection risk is fundamental in the epidemiology of infectious diseases, as it allows for the identification of key parameters influencing disease transmission. Insights into the spatiotemporal drivers of epidemic dynamics are essential for developing improved strategies for disease prevention. This study introduces a predictive framework based on the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process to estimate the spatial and temporal distribution of infectiousness originating from a primary case. The proposed model captures the dynamics of secondary infections and their impact on spatial dispersion, primarily driven by a diffusion mechanism of the Chapman type. This diffusion mechanism induces the phenomenon of segregation by incorporating behavioral or cognitive aspects of susceptible individuals. We calculate critical epidemiological metrics, including the basic reproduction number, the probability density function of generation time, and the mean generation time. Notably, the model reveals that 38.5% of dengue infections occur before the onset of symptoms, highlighting the critical need to address presymptomatic transmission in control strategies. This silent dissemination increases the complexity of the objective of the model presented, which seeks to answer the fundamental public health question of when the pathogen will reach a specific region. The proposed mathematical model establishes a framework for selecting emerging risk areas, prioritizing interventions and optimizing resource allocation.

description: In the epidemiology of infectious diseases, it is crucial to understand the spatiotemporal distribution of the risk of new or secondary infections originating from a primary infected individual. This distribution, representing infectiousness, enables the characterization of disease dynamics and the estimation of threshold parameters essential for determining the spread capacity of a pathogen in a susceptible population. Traditional compartmental mathematical models, widely used to evaluate the progression of an infectious disease, assume that susceptible and infected populations are homogeneously distributed across a region. However, this assumption of homogeneous distribution is not satisfied when an outbreak initially emerges at a specific spatial point, and it does not allow for the determination of the probability of spread to neighboring regions or the estimation of the risk area. In this study, we developed a model based on the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process in continuous time and space to determine the spatiotemporal probability distribution of infectiousness from the introduction of a primary case at a specific point. In the proposed formulation, we determine the basic reproduction number $R_0$, probability density function of the generation time, and mean generation time. To validate the model, we used studies on dengue epidemics to estimate the fundamental parameters of dissemination dynamics and risk areas for new infections.

description: This research work analyzes young people's training process in boxing, understood as a discipline that gives rules through a specific training practice. Training thus becomes a psycho-physical well-being path, in which the sacrifices due to the discipline, imposed by the rules, can be worthwhile for the rest of life, both as a permanent cultural practice and to promote the comparison between diversity and socialization. This construction path, through the culture of work, will see young people as representatives of the positive values of sport, especially against marginalization and school dropout, thus enhancing the values of an ancient sport like boxing

Discussion: Trichecidae Gray (1821) and Rosmaridae Gill (1866) are invalid (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1959). The enigmatic walruses have been placed as: (1) the sister group to the otariids (Árnason, 1977; Árnason et al., 1995; Couturier and Dutrillaux, 1986; Dragoo and Honeycutt, 1997; Repenning and Tedford, 1977; Sarich, 1969 a, b; Vrana et al., 1994); (2) in the family Otariidae (Barnes, 1989; Mitchell, 1975 b); (3) the sister group to the phocids (Berta, 1994; Berta and Wyss, 1994; Wyss and Flynn, 1993); and finally (4) McKenna and Bell (1997) considered them a subfamily of Phocidae. Lento et al. (1995) believed the best answer was to leave the walrus as an independent family. Because of the uncertainty of the placement of this taxon, I have followed Rice (1998) who provided an excellent discussion of the various arrangements.

MZUT AV11660; mount; adult male; USA, Hawaii, ‘Kona district’, slopes of Mauna Loa Volcano at 1,200 m, September 1892; collected by R. C. L. Perkins, and donated by Alfred Newton in 1901 or 1903.
 Remarks.— Salvadori (1915) reported that in 1901 or 1903, due to the interest of his friend Alfred Newton, the Torino museum received a gift of seven specimens (actually eight) collected in the ‘Sandwich Islands’. All of these were collected by Robert Cyril Layton Perkins (1866–1955) of Cambridge University during an expedition to Hawaii financed by the Royal Society of London and the British Association for the Advancement of Science. MZUT AV11660 was taken during the first period that Perkins spent in Hawaii, between March 1892 and September 1894 (Perkins 1893, Liebherr & Polhemus 1997). Torino is not listed among those institutions that hold specimens of this species; moreover, the collection date of MZUT AV11660 (September 1892) coincides with that of the last specimen known (Hume & Walters 2012).

Muizon (1982 b), and Wyss's (1988) phylogenetic analyses agreed on three points: 1) The monophyletic nature of two groups they refer to as the Lobodontini (Hydrurga, Leptonychotes, Lobodon, and Ommatophoca), and the Phocinae (Erignathus, Cystophora, Halichoerus, and Phoca), 2) The lobodonts, along with Monachus and Mirounga traditionally have been referred to as the Monachinae (kept by Muizon), however, they both suggested that this group may be paraphyletic, 3) Because of the "unsettled" nature of these taxa, no subfamilies are recognized at this time. Distributions for species after Rice (1998).

e.motion: Expressive Robotics in Indian Classical Dance
Creators: name: Rane, Aishwarya Prashant
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Design

description: Kathak, one of the 9 classical dance forms of India, is facing a fate similar to other classical art forms; it is losing younger audiences due to a lack of awareness and interest in the art forms. The reason for this could be because of the trained eye that is required to appreciate  the art form. Audiences with a basic understanding of the language of the performance or  an understanding of the vocabulary of the classical art form can understand the dance  being performed. However, to get to this level, one should have exposure to Indian culture  or have training in the techniques of the dance. After the advent of social media and the  prevalence of remote learning after the pandemic, the exposure that the art form can get  has increased from the small circle of dance connoisseurs to viewers around the world. To cater to new audiences, dancers have used adaptive technologies like subtitles, fusion  choreographies with prevalent dance forms. Including robotics and immersive technology  can reduce the barrier to entry for new audiences into appreciating the art form and in  order to incorporate such technologies into a stage performance, it is imperative to  understand how a dancer might respond to such a collaborator. This thesis aims to study  the effect of a robot on the dancer and the roles that both entities might play by answering  this research question: How can a robot that aims to enhance the expressive and narrative  structure of a traditional Indian dance performance interact with a  classically trained dancer to create seamless communication during  performance?

INDIGENOUS AFRICAN RELIGIONS: STRATEGIES FOR PEACE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Creators: name: David, Kipkoech Ruto
Publisher: name: kEITH jOURNAL
Year: 2025
Subjects: Africa, Conflict, Nation-building, Ethnic tensions, Peace-building

description: The pursuit of nation-building dreams persists in certain regions of Africa; however, recent years have witnessed fractures within many African states, primarily stemming from conflicts. These conflicts have led to brutal battles among various African groups, resulting in devastating consequences. Examples include the longstanding conflicts among the Karamajong of Uganda and the Pokots and Marakwets in Kenya, as well as the Muslim-Christian conflict in Sudan and the genocides in Rwanda and Burundi.

This paper examines the complexities of conflict dynamics in Africa, focusing on the socio-political tensions and violent confrontations that have plagued the continent in recent years. Drawing upon historical and contemporary examples, such as the inter-ethnic clashes in Uganda and Kenya and the religious strife in Sudan, the paper explores the multifaceted roots of conflict and its profound impact on African societies.

By delving into the underlying causes and consequences of these conflicts, the paper aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the challenges facing African nations in their quest for stability and nation-building. It underscores the urgent need for effective conflict resolution mechanisms and sustainable peace-building efforts to address the underlying grievances and promote reconciliation and development in the region.
