description: The objective of this research is an analysis of the firm-level factors that led to relatively longer survival for individual firms in the township mutual industry in Minnesota. Next, the trends in the data provide support for the claim that the shrinking number of farms in their market areas negatively impacts long-term survival. This consideration is even more significant to organizations that, as a result of their legal and historical legacies, have remained smaller than their commercial competitors. Moreover, the variable that was most significant in these analyses was surplus, or profitability. While it is helpful to know that profitability is heavily correlated with long-term survival, this finding does not provide a basis on which a practitioner can realize this result.
Stars, Stripes, and Silicon: Unravelling the ChatGPT's All-American, Monochrome, Cis-centric Bias

description: This paper investigates the challenges associated with bias, toxicity, unreliability, and lack of robustness in large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT. It emphasizes that these issues primarily stem from the quality and diversity of data on which LLMs are trained, rather than the model architectures themselves. As LLMs are increasingly integrated into various real-world applications, their potential to negatively impact society by amplifying existing biases and generating harmful content becomes a pressing concern. The paper calls for interdisciplinary efforts to address these challenges. Additionally, it highlights the need for collaboration between researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders to establish governance frameworks, oversight, and accountability mechanisms to mitigate the harmful consequences of biased LLMs. By proactively addressing these challenges, the AI community can harness the enormous potential of LLMs for the betterment of society without perpetuating harmful biases or exacerbating existing inequalities.

description: We consider the SU(2) lattice gauge model and investigate numerically the continuum limit of the simple center vortices which are singular configurations of the gauge fields. We found that the vortices remain alive in the continuum theory. Also we investigate the Creutz ratio and found that for all $β$ it vanishes for those field configurations which do not contain the simple center vortices inside the considered Wilson loop. It leads us to the conclusion that these singular field configurations play a real role in the continuum theory.

description: An accurate description of the two-electron density, crucial for magnetic coupling in spin systems, provides in general a major challenge for density functional theory calculations. It affects, e.g., the calculated zero-field splitting (ZFS) energies of spin qubits in semiconductors that frequently deviate significantly from experiment. In the present work (i) we propose an efficient and robust strategy to correct for spin contamination in both extended periodic and finite-size systems, (ii) verify its accuracy using model high-spin molecules, and finally (iii) apply the methodology to calculate accurate ZFS of spin qubits (NV$^-$ centers, divacancies) in diamond and silicon carbide. The approach is shown to reduce the dependence on the used exchange-correlation functional to a minimum.

description: Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy candidiasis ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) syndrome is a rare monogenic autosomal recessive disorder caused by biallelic mutations in the AIRE (autoimmune regulator) gene. Patients with APECED present with heterogeneous endocrine and non-endocrine manifestations. In this study, we report an Iranian patient who presented with Addison disease, chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, alopecia totalis, keratopathy and asplenia treated as an isolated endocrinopathy for 25 years. In the adulthood, the diagnosis of APECED was made by genetic analysis which demonstrated homozygous nonsense p.R257* (c.769C>T) mutation of AIRE. APECED has been shown to be frequent in some ethnicities including Iranian Jews. Therefore, we reviewed 39 Iranian APECED patients published in the literature. We found that most of the Iranian patients were of Jewish ethnic background and presented hypoparathyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, and candidiasis as the main clinical manifestation.

description: This paper examines the effects of income tax rates and member risk preferences on the distribution of patronage income in a local agricultural cooperative. The paper uses a modified mean-variance model to provide some discussion points on how to consider the interaction of tax and member risk preferences on maximizing member benefits. Our results suggest that qualified earnings distributions should be relatively low under current tax policy conditions, and consideration should be given to using non-qualified distributions. Also, optimal patronage income distributions are more affected by significant changes in member risk preferences than significant changes in taxes.

description: This paper presents a new design of CADEL, a cable-driven elbow-assisting device, with light weighting and control improvements. The new device design is appropriate to be more portable and user-oriented solution, presenting additional facilities with respect to the original design. One of potential benefits of improved portability can be envisaged in the possibility of house and hospital usage keeping social distancing while allowing rehabilitation treatments even during a pandemic spread. Specific attention has been devoted to design main mechatronic components by developing specific kinematics models. The design process includes an implementation of specific control hardware and software. The kinematic model of the new design is formulated and features are evaluated through numerical simulations and experimental tests. An evaluation from original design highlights the proposed improvements mainly in terms of comfort, portability and user-oriented operation.

description: The aggregation of amyloid-beta peptides is associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. The hydrophobic core of the amyloid beta sequence contains a GxxxG repeated motif, called glycine zipper, which involves crucial residues for assuring stability and promoting the process of fibril formation. Mutations in this motif lead to a completely different oligomerization pathway and rate of fibril formation. In this work, we have tested G33L and G37L residue substitutions by molecular dynamics simulations. We found that both protein mutations may lead to remarkable changes in the fibril conformational stability. Results suggest the disruption of the glycine zipper as a possible strategy to reduce the aggregation propensity of amyloid beta peptides. On the basis of our data, further investigations may consider this key region as a binding site to design/discover novel effective inhibitors. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: As quantum contextuality proves to be a necessary resource for universal quantum computation, we present a general method for vector generation of Kochen-Specker (KS) contextual sets in the form of hypergraphs. The method supersedes all three previous methods: (i) fortuitous discoveries of smallest KS sets, (ii) exhaustive upward hypergraph-generation of sets, and (iii) random downward generation of sets from fortuitously obtained big master sets. In contrast to previous works, we can generate master sets which contain all possible KS sets starting with nothing but a few simple vector components. From them we can readily generate all KS sets obtained in the last half a century and any specified new KS sets. Herewith we can generate sufficiently large sets as well as sets with definite required features and structures to enable varieties of different implementations in quantum computation and communication.

description: The Oklahoma Food Cooperative (OFC) facilitates transactions between producers and consumers of locally-grown food items. Although the OFC has more than 3,000 members, the cooperative is still working to discover member needs and ensure its long-term sustainability. Both consumer-members and producer-members of the OFC were surveyed to determine the factors driving their current and continued participation in the cooperative. Findings suggest that producer-members and consumer-members differ in both demographic terms and their level of cooperative involvement. Results also indicate that both types of members may be facilitating business transactions in alternative market outlets, thus negatively impacting OFC business volume.

description: We consider Euclidean D4 and D6-branes filling the whole ${\bf R}^4$ and ${\bf R}^6$ space, respectively. In both cases, with a constant background B-field turned on for D4-branes, we propose actions which are the same as the DBI actions up to some constant or total derivative terms. These extra terms allow us to write the action as a square of nonlinear instanton equations. As such, the actions can easily be supersymmetrized using the methods of topological field theory.

description: A classical phase space with a suitable symplectic structure is constructed together with functions which have Poisson brackets algebraically identical to the Lie algebra structure of the Lie group SU(n). In this phase space we show that the orbit of the generators corresponding to the simple roots of the Lie algebra give rise to fibres that are complex lines containing spheres. There are n-1 spheres on a fibre and they intersect in exactly the same way as the Cartan matrix of the Lie algebra. This classical phase space bundle,being compact,has a description as a variety.Our construction shows that the variety containing the intersecting spheres is exactly the one obtained by resolving the singularities of the variety {x_0}{x_1}-{{x_2}^n}=0 in {C^3}. A direct connection between this singular variety and the classical phase space corresponding to the Lie group SU(n) is thus established.

description: The New Zealand dairy cooperative Fonterra is one of the largest in the world. In 2007, its Board presented a capital restructuring proposal with the aim of reducing the equity redemption risk, solving members’ portfolio problems, and acquiring capital for the cooperative. The proposal indicated that external owners would be allowed, but that members would own most of the stock. The shareholders rejected the proposal. This analysis of why the proposal failed shows that two specific characteristics of Fonterra were primarily responsible: The shareholders considered the Fair Value Share to be instrumental in securing full member control and the Shareholders’ Council effectively channeled members’ opinions.

description: Agricultural cooperatives, like other cooperative firms, face a wide array of choices in how they distribute and retain profits. These choices impact the cooperative’s solvency, liquidity, and cash flow as well as each member’s cash flow and realized return from the cooperative. Taxation at both the firm and the patron level further complicates the picture. In recent years the availability of the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (DPAD) has impacted the profit distribution of many agricultural cooperatives (Barton, 2011). While cooperative CEOs and boards of directors appear to be astute in analyzing the tax and cash flow implications of profit distribution alternatives, it is not clear whether they understand the impacts on the members’ return from the cooperative. This paper explicitly examines that question using financial data from 10 case study grain and farm supply cooperatives in Oklahoma

description: IIIZw2 was observed with XMM-Newton in July 2000. Its X-ray spectrum can be described by a powerlaw of photon index Gamma = 1.7 with a Gaussian line at 6.7 keV. There is no significant evidence of intrinsic absorption within the source or of a soft X-ray excess. Multi-wavelength light curves over a period of 25 years show related variations from the radio to the X-rays. We interpret the radio to optical emission as synchrotron radiation, self-absorbed in the radio/millimeter region, and the X-rays as mainly due to Compton up-scattering of low-energy photons by the population of high-energy electrons that give rise to the synchrotron radiation.

description: This contribution attempts to determine the $b$-quark pole mass $M_b$ and \MSbar running mass $\overline{m}_b$ with two different approaches at the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections. At the first approach, we derive a relation between the $b$-quark pole mass $M_b$ and its \MSbar running mass $\overline{m}_b$ at the NNLO corrections based on the perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (pQCD) predictions. At the second approach, we extract numerical values of the $b$-quark pole and \MSbar running masses based on the NNLO phenomenology of H1 and ZEUS Collaborations combined beauty vertex production experimental data. Then we discuss about the compatibility between the pQCD theory results and phenomenology approach in determination of the $b$-quark pole and \MSbar running masses at the NNLO corrections. Also, we investigate the role and influence of the $b$-quark mass as an extra degree of freedom added to the input parameters of the Standard Model Lagrangian, on the improvement of the uncertainty band of the proton parton distribution functions (PDFs) and particularly on the gluon distribution.

description: Guru akan menjadi profesi yang berkembang jika terus menerus mengubah dan mengembangkan diri, karena praktis pendidikan akan terus berlangsung dalam situasi dan waktu yang berbeda. Guru memegang peranan penting dalam merancang strategi pembelajaran karena keberhasilan proses pembelajaran tergantung cara dan kemampuan yang dimiliki oleh seorang guru. Dengan kompetensi guru, guru yang berkompeten akan mampu mengelola kelasnya, sehingga belajar para siswa berada pada tingkat optimal. Ketika kompetensi guru rendah, maka murid nya kelak akan menjadi generasi yang bermutu rendah. Jangankan untuk bersaing, mencari pekerjaan pun sulit, sehingga bukan tidak mungkin kelak mereka akan menjadi beban sosial bagi masyarakat dan negara ini. Selama ini pengembangan karir bagi guru diartikan sebagai pengalihan tugas-tugas guru yang tadinya sebagai pengajar berubah menjadi administrator (tenaga adminstrasi). Tentu hal tersebut berseberangan dengan tujuan semula. Jadi walaupun seorang guru mempunyai/naik jabatan menduduki jabatan struktural tertentu akan tetapi tugas pokoknya sebagai pengajar/pendidik tetap menjadi tanggung jawabnya.

description: We study the manifold of clusters of nonintersecting congruent solid bodies, all touching the central ball $B\subset\mathbb{R}^{3}$ of radius one. Two main examples are clusters of balls and clusters of infinite cylinders. We introduce the notion of \textit{critical cluster} and we study several critical clusters of balls and of cylinders. For the case of cylinders some of our critical clusters are new. We also establish the criticality properties of clusters, introduced earlier by W. Kuperberg.

description: Source criticism is a challenge in higher education as many students (often freshmen) do not pay sufficient attention to the diversity of sources, they want quick facts that they can reuse. By not being able to distinguish the quality of texts on the net, they clip and paste sentences that they collect in different documents. It is not possible to substitute academic learning with patch-writing strategies. At the same time, teachers cannot promote critical thinking without giving some examples and advices to students. As a matter of fact, it is necessary to have an attitude concerning the platforms of quick facts like Wikipedia or other encyclopaedias.

description: Southern part of the Silesian Upland so-called Upper Silesian Industrial District is the example of the area with strong human impacts on relief. The aim of this work was quantity and spatial analysis of the selected elements of the anthropogenic relief of this Silesian Upland's fragment. This work shows: how the character, number and spatial distribution of the anthropogenic forms changed in few moments: 1881, 1956, 1988, 1995. General tendency of the total magnitude and number of forms in analyzed period 1881-1995 was ascending, but not always it was only negative influence.

description: The existence of extra degrees of freedom beyond the electroweak scale may allow the formation of black holes in nearly horizontal neutrino air showers. In this paper we examine the average properties of the light descendants of these black holes. Our analysis indicates that black hole decay gives rise to deeply penetrating showers with an electromagnetic component which differs substantially from that in conventional neutrino interactions, allowing a good characterization of the phenomenon against background. Naturally occurring black holes in horizontal neutrino showers could be detected and studied with the Auger air shower array. Since the expected black hole production rate at Auger is $> 1$ event/year, this cosmic ray observatory could be potentially powerful in probing models with extra dimensions and TeV-scale gravity.

We also show that $\# \{n\le x, (n,\binom{2n}{n})=1 \} \sim cx/\log x$ for some constant $c$. One novelty is a method to capture the effect of large prime factors of integers in general sequences.

description: This article presents how ship trajectories have been built from historical sources dealing with maritime trade in the 18th century. It first summarizes the method for building the routes, and qualifying the uncertainty level linked to each of its segments. Then, it details how the geometries of these segments connecting two successive stopovers were automatically calculated in order to draw a map with maritime paths only. The algorithm, programmed with PL/SQL language, is available under an open-source licence (https://gitlab.huma-num.fr/portic/porticapi). Finally, an online tool for querying and mapping these routes with their associated level of uncertainty is exposed (http://shiproutes.portic.fr). We show its usefulness for historians, in particular for the control of the validity of built ship trajectories.

description: The North China Plain often suffers heavy haze pollution events in the cold season due to the rapid industrial development and urbanization in recent decades. In the winter of 2015, the megacity cluster of Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei experienced a seven-day extreme haze pollution episode with peak PM2.5 (particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) concentration of 727 μg m−3. Considering the influence of meteorological conditions on pollutant evolution, the effects of varying initial conditions and lateral boundary conditions (LBCs) of the WRF-Chem model on PM2.5 concentration variation were investigated through ensemble methods. A control run (CTRL) and three groups of ensemble experiments (INDE, BDDE, INBDDE) were carried out based on different initial conditions and LBCs derived from ERA5 reanalysis data and its 10 ensemble members. The CTRL run reproduced the meteorological conditions and the overall life cycle of the haze event reasonably well, but failed to capture the intense oscillation of the instantaneous PM2.5 concentration. However, the ensemble forecasting showed a considerable advantage to some extent. Compared with the CTRL run, the root-mean-square error (RMSE) of PM2.5 concentration decreased by 4.33%, 6.91%, and 8.44% in INDE, BDDE and INBDDE, respectively, and the RMSE decreases of wind direction (−5.19%, −8.89% and −9.61%) were the dominant reason for the improvement of PM2.5 concentration in the three ensemble experiments. Based on this case, the ensemble scheme seems an effective method to improve the prediction skill of wind direction and PM2.5 concentration by using the WRF-Chem model.

 ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Fungina sicula Rondani, 1856.
 TYPE SPECIES: Fungina sicula Rondani, 1856, by original designation.
 CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Ehrenberg, 1834; senior (but invalid) synonym of Agaromya Rondani, 1861; placed in “Doubtful genera and species” [teste Laštovka & Matile in Hackman et al. (1988: 248)].
FAMILY: MYCETOPHILIDAE.
 REMARKS: Laštovka & Matile in Hackman et al. (1988: 248) stated that Fungina Rondani, 1856 and Fungina sicula Rondani, 1856 were nomina nuda. This is not correct. The characters in Rondani’s (1856: 194) key serve to make available both the genus-group name Fungina and the species-group name Fungina sicula as the singly included species.
