description: Joint-stock companies play a crucial role in the economic development of Ukraine, contributing to international market expansion and the stabilization of the domestic economy. However, the onset of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the imposition of martial law have severely disrupted the operations and governance of these companies. Hostilities have created significant challenges, impeding the ability of companies to function effectively. In this regard, the primary objective of this research is to provide a detailed analysis of the unique governance challenges faced by joint-stock companies in Ukraine under martial law, as reflected in the legal framework. By examining these changes chronologically, this research elucidates their nature and implications. Thus, these legislative adjustments are assessed to identify any shortcomings that may require future amendments. The research findings stipulate further research of corporate governance regulations during wartime.
THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE AND BROADCAST POLICY: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON MEDIA BALANCE

Subjects: television, media regulation, information quality, political engagement, media deregulation

description: The ongoing evolution of television and new technologies has raised questions about the necessity of regulation. Television has become a powerful tool for disseminating information, making it a significant part of the media landscape and a platform for policymakers to communicate their messages. It can serve as both an educational tool and a source of entertainment. This duality has sparked a debate, pitting populist ideals against corporate capitalism, primarily in the context of media deregulation. As W. Lance Bennet (2004) notes, this deregulation has led to the growth of global media conglomerates, with differing opinions on its consequences. Some argue that it has eroded public service broadcasting and media social-responsibility norms, resulting in a decline in information quality and political disengagement among citizens. Conversely, others see deregulation as broadening information choices and empowering citizens to determine their preferred levels of political engagement

description: During the second half of the 20th century, Jordi Sarsanedas was a relevant actor in the bilateral relationship between Catalonia and France. His engagement as a cultural activist led him to occupy strategic positions to disseminate the Catalan language and literature. Suffice to say that he was Serra d’Or editor-in-chief, dean of the Institucióde les Lletres Catalanes, president of the Ateneu Barcelonès and president of the PEN Català. His knowledge of English and Italian, along with his prolonged stays in Glasgow and Milano, served him to become a literary ambassador. The cultural background that influenced him the most, however, was French, as it can be seen in his literary works —in prose and poetry — as well in his translations.

description: Critique is an essential skill of professional designers to communicate success and failure of a design with others. For graphic design educators, including critique in their pedagogical approaches enables students to improve both their design capability and critique skills. Adaptive Comparative Judgment (ACJ) is an innovative approach of assessment where students and instructors make comparisons between two designs and choose the better of the two. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between instructors’ and students’ critiquing practices. The data was collected through think-aloud protocol methods while both groups critiqued the same design projects. The results indicate that it took students longer to finish the same amount of critiques as those completed by instructors. Students spent more time describing their personal feelings, evaluating each individual design, and looking for the right phrases to precisely express their thoughts on a design. Instructors, with more teaching experience, were able to complete the critique more quickly and justify their critique decisions more succinctly with efficient use of terminology and a reliance on their instincts.

description: Nine heavily populated developing nations, collectively known as the E-9 (Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, and Pakistan), grapple with formidable challenges in the realm of primary education. These nations are confronted with the complex task of aligning educational goals with the diverse needs of their populations while ensuring the delivery of high-quality vocational education. A significant portion of their combined 771 million adult citizens lacks fundamental skills essential for informed decision-making, representing a critical developmental deficit. The imperative of enhancing literacy levels in the E-9 nations stands at the forefront of the global agenda, necessitating comprehensive educational initiatives designed to elevate literacy standards and the overall quality of education. This is a shared responsibility that calls for the active engagement of governments and donor agencies worldwide.

Within this context, Pakistan emerges as a unique challenge due to its burgeoning population, ranking as the world's sixth most populous nation with approximately 184 million people, a significant proportion of whom live below the poverty line. The mounting demographic pressure places additional strain on the nation's natural and financial resources, amplifying the urgency of addressing functional literacy within Pakistan

BRIDGING ECONOMICS AND ENVIRONMENT: THE ROLE OF MODELING IN NEPA-BASED TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
Creators: name: Anderson, Jessica
Publisher: name: AYDEN JOURNAL
Year: 2025
Subjects: National Environmental Policy Act, NEPA, Environmental Impact Statement, EIS, environmental protection, infrastructure projects, Federal Highway Administration, transportation planning

description: The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), enacted by Congress in 1969, revolutionized environmental protection in the United States by introducing an environmental review process into decision-making practices. This process involves the creation of detailed Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) to assess the environmental effects of various projects, including infrastructure developments. EIS enables multi-disciplinary collaboration and provides a framework for choosing the most environmentally friendly project implementation. Federal agencies like the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) play a crucial role in examining and mitigating potential impacts on both human and natural environments resulting from state highway construction. This paper explores the significance of NEPA and the EIS process in fostering harmony between humanity and nature while evaluating various project alternatives within the context of transportation planning.

OPTIMIZATIONS FOR N-BODY PROBLEMS ON HETEROGENOUS SYSTEMS

description: N-body problems, such as simulating the motion of stars in a galaxy and evaluating the spatial statistics through n-point correlation function, are popularly solved. The naive approaches to n-body problems are typically O(n^2) algorithms. Tree codes take advantages of the fact that a group of bodies can be skipped or approximated as a union if their distance is far away from one body’s sight. It reduces the complexity from O(n^2) to O(n*lgn). However, tree codes rely on pointer chasing and have massive branch instructions. These are highly irregular and thus prevent tree codes from being easily parallelized.
GPU offers the promise of massive, power-efficient parallelism. However, exploiting this parallelism requires the code to be carefully structured to deal with the limitations of the SIMT execution model. This dissertation focusses on optimizations for n-body problems on the heterogeneous system. A general inspector-executor based framework is proposed to automatically schedule GPU threads to achieve high performance. Essentially, the framework lets the GPU execute partial of the tree codes and profile threads behaviors, then it assigns the CPU to re-organize these threads to minimize the divergence before executing the remaining portion of the traversals on the GPU. We apply this framework to six tree traversal algorithms, achieving significant speedups over optimized GPU code that does not perform application-specific scheduling. Further, we show that in many cases, our hybrid approach is able to deliver better performance even than GPU code that uses hand tuned, application-specific scheduling. For large scale input, ChaNGa is the best-of-breed n-body platform. It uses an asymp-totically-efficient tree traversal strategy known as a dual-tree walk to quickly provide an accurate simulation result. On GPUs, ChaNGa uses a hybrid strategy where the CPU performs the tree walk to determine which bodies interact while the GPU performs the force computation. In this dissertation, we show that a highly optimized single-tree walk approach is able to achieve better GPU performance by significantly accelerating the tree walk and reducing CPU/GPU communication. Our experiments show that this new design can achieve a 8.25x speedup over baseline ChaNGa using one node, one process per node configuration. We also point out that ChaNGa's implementation doesn't satisfy the inclusion condition so that GPU-centric remote tree walk doesn't perform well.

description: Background: Assessing the mortality impact of the 2009 influenza A H1N1 virus (H1N1pdm09) is essential for optimizing public health responses to future pandemics. The World Health Organization reported 18,631 laboratory-confirmed pandemic deaths, but the total pandemic mortality burden was substantially higher. We estimated the 2009 pandemic mortality burden through statistical modeling of mortality data from multiple countries. Methods and Findings: We obtained weekly virology and underlying cause-of-death mortality time series for 2005–2009 for 20 countries covering ~35% of the world population. We applied a multivariate linear regression model to estimate pandemic respiratory mortality in each collaborating country. We then used these results plus ten country indicators in a multiple imputation model to project the mortality burden in all world countries. Between 123,000 and 203,000 pandemic respiratory deaths were estimated globally for the last 9 mo of 2009. The majority (62%–85%) were attributed to persons under 65 y of age. We observed a striking regional heterogeneity, with almost 20-fold higher mortality in some countries in the Americas than in Europe. The model attributed 148,000–249,000 respiratory deaths to influenza in an average pre-pandemic season, with only 19% in persons

description: Background: To eliminate visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in India and Nepal, challenges of VL diagnosis, treatment and reporting need to be identified. Recent data indicate that VL is underreported and patients face delays when seeking treatment. Moreover, VL surveillance data might not reach health authorities on time. This study quantifies delays for VL diagnosis and treatment, and analyses the duration of VL reporting from district to central health authorities in India and Nepal. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted in 12 districts of Terai region, Nepal, and 9 districts of Bihar State, India, in 2012. Patients were interviewed in hospitals or at home using a structured questionnaire, health managers were interviewed at their work place using a semi-structured questionnaire and in-depth interviews were conducted with central level health managers. Reporting formats were evaluated. Data was analyzed using two-tailed Mann-Whitney U or Fisher’s exact test. Results: 92 VL patients having experienced 103 VL episodes and 49 district health managers were interviewed. Patients waited in Nepal 30 days (CI 18-42) before seeking health care, 3.75 times longer than in Bihar (8d; CI 4-12). Conversely, the lag time from seeking health care to receiving a VL diagnosis was 3.6x longer in Bihar (90d; CI 68-113) compared to Nepal (25d; CI 13-38). The time span between diagnosis and treatment was short in both countries. VL reporting time was in Nepal 19 days for sentinel sites and 76 days for “District Public Health Offices (DPHOs)”. In Bihar it was 28 days for “District Malaria Offices”. In Nepal, 73% of health managers entered data into computers compared to 16% in Bihar. In both countries reporting was mainly paper based and standardized formats were rarely used. Conclusions: To decrease the delay between onset of symptoms and getting a proper diagnosis and treatment the approaches in the two countries vary: In Nepal health education for seeking early treatment are needed while in Bihar the use of private and non-formal practitioners has to be discouraged. Reinforcement of VL sentinel reporting in Bihar, reorganization of DPHOs in Nepal, introduction of standardized reporting formats and electronic reporting should be conducted in both countries.

description: Thisarticleaims at a better comprehension of the series of lectures that Joseph Czapski gave in the Soviet  camp  of  Grazovietzbetween  1940  and  1941.  The  case of  Czapski  is  well  known,  but  his  exceptional performance  (of  memory,  and  critical  inquiry)  deserves  further  investigation.  Not  surprisingly,  the  Polish painter focuses on memory as a concept and as a possibility to save what seemed to be lost: life itself. Czapski’s reference to an apparently worn-out metaphor  (“the  river of  memory”) hides in fact adeeper  conception of literature and art, that are given the task (not metaphorical in the war and suffering context in which Czapski was speaking) of salvation. Art,in Proust’s noveland Czapski’s retrieval of it,is the “pearl”capable of giving life  the  meaning  that  seems annihilated.  Czapski’s case recalls  another  one,  as surprising  and “miraculous”: Gustav Herling’s reading of Fyodor Dostoevsky’sHouse of the Deadin the Soviet forced labour camp ofYertsevo in  1942,  in  the  same  context  of  suffering  and  war.  Although  hardly  comparable,  Proust’s  and  Dostoevsky’s works seem to provoke an “essential” relation to life, in which memory plays a decisiverole.
Numerical Methods for Studying Self-similar Propagation of Viscous Gravity Currents

Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: A strongly implicit, nonlinear Crank-Nicolson-based finite-difference scheme was constructed for the numerical study of the self-similar behavior of viscous gravity currents. Viscous gravity currents are low Reynolds number flow phenomena in which a dense, viscous fluid displaces a lighter (usually immiscible) fluid. Under the lubrication approximation, the mathematical description of the spreading of these fluids is reduced to solving a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation for the shape of the fluid interface. This thesis focuses on the finite-speed propagation of a power-law non-Newtonian current in a variable width channel-like geometry (a "Hele-Shaw cell'') subject to a given mass conservation/balance constraint. The proposed numerical scheme was implemented on a uniform but staggered grid. It is shown to be strongly stable, while possessing formal truncation error that is of second-order in space and it time. The accuracy of the scheme was verified by benchmarking it against established analytical solutions, which were obtained via a first-kind self-similarity transformation. A series of numerical simulations confirmed that the proposed scheme accurately respects the mass conservation/balance constraint. Next, the numerical scheme was used to study the second-kind self-similar behaviour of Newtonian viscous gravity currents flowing towards the end of a converging channel. Second-kind self-similar transformations are not fully specified without further information from simulation or experiment. Thus, using the proposed numerical scheme, the self-similar spreading and leveling leveling of the current was definitively addressed. The numerical results showed favorable comparison with experimental data.

description: Research in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) is rapidly developing and there are expectations that this research may obviate the need to use human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), the ethics of which has been a subject of controversy for more than 15 years. In this study, we investigated approximately 3,400 original research papers that reported an experimental use of these types of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and were published from 2008 to 2013. We found that research into both cell types was conducted independently and further expanded, accompanied by a growing intersection of both research fields. Moreover, an in-depth analysis of papers that reported the use of both cell types indicates that hESCs are still being used as a “gold standard,” but in a declining proportion of publications. Instead, the expanding research field is diversifying and hESC and hiPSC lines are increasingly being used in more independent research and application areas.

description: Background: Evaluating the quality and reliability of a de novo assembly and of single contigs in particular is challenging since commonly a ground truth is not readily available and numerous factors may influence results. Currently available procedures provide assembly scores but lack a comparative quality ranking of contigs within an assembly. Results: We present SuRankCo, which relies on a machine learning approach to predict quality scores for contigs and to enable the ranking of contigs within an assembly. The result is a sorted contig set which allows selective contig usage in downstream analysis. Benchmarking on datasets with known ground truth shows promising sensitivity and specificity and favorable comparison to existing methodology. Conclusions: SuRankCo analyzes the reliability of de novo assemblies on the contig level and thereby allows quality control and ranking prior to further downstream and validation experiments.

description: Dengue virus (DENV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus and a major international public health concern in many tropical and sub-tropical areas worldwide. DENV is divided into four major serotypes, and infection with one serotype leads to immunity against the same, but not the other serotypes. The specific diagnosis of DENV-infections via antibody-detection is problematic due to the high degree of cross-reactivity displayed by antibodies against related flaviviruses, such as West Nile virus (WNV), Yellow Fever virus (YFV) or Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). Especially in areas where several flaviviruses co-circulate or in the context of vaccination e.g. against YFV or TBEV, this severely complicates diagnosis and surveillance. Most flavivirus cross-reactive antibodies are produced against the highly conserved fusion loop (FL) domain in the viral envelope (E) protein. We generated insect-cell derived recombinant E-proteins of the four DENV-serotypes which contain point mutations in the FL domain. By using specific mixtures of these mutant antigens, cross-reactivity against heterologous flaviviruses was strongly reduced, enabling sensitive and specific diagnosis of the DENV-infected serum samples in IgG and IgM-measurements. These results have indications for the development of serological DENV-tests with improved specificity.
Microtubule Assembly and Translocation Dynamics During Axonal Elongation

description: The urgency for deeper knowledge about nervous system function and dysfunction has never been greater. With increasing rates of mental disorders and expanding healthcare costs, deciphering details of axonal development is essential to meeting this imperative. Models of neuronal growth are improving as roles of microtubules and motor proteins surface. However, traditional motor protein studies focus on intracellular cargo transport, leaving deficits in knowledge about how these proteins organize cytoskeletal filaments in the axon and growth cone during neuronal development. Inconsistent findings on microtubule activity in growing axons also leave gaps in quantitative assessments of microtubule translocation and assembly, limiting the ability to construct a comprehensive model of axonal elongation. The goal of this study was to provide a more complete neuronal growth cone model by determining how individual microtubule translocation and assembly, mass microtubule movements, and motor protein activity contribute to axonal elongation. The underlying mechanisms of these processes were investigated by testing the roles of dynein and microtubule dynamics in axonal elongation of Aplysia californica neurons using transillumination, fluorescent speckle, and super-resolution microscopy. Pharmacologically inhibiting either dynein activity or microtubule assembly reduced both bulk and individual microtubule anterograde translocation and neurite elongation rates. Suppressing both processes simultaneously had compensatory rather than additive effects. Super-resolution imaging also revealed fewer dynein motors co-localized with microtubules when microtubule assembly was inhibited. These results strongly suggest that disrupting microtubule assembly blocks neurite outgrowth partly because it inhibits dynein-mediated bulk microtubule translocation.

description: There is nothing like a firmly established typology of dreams – simply because the taxonomies on which existing typologies are based vary widely: They can be oneirocritical, thematic, or based on dreaming characters or their responses, on narratological functions, etc. The essays in this volume will discuss a broad range of dream types, with a special focus on nightmares and erotic, funny, indigenous and children's dreams. Examples are taken from a great variety of cultures and historical periods. Their authors and artists include: Akinari, Barrie, Baudelaire, Benjamin, Black Elk, Buñuel, Burroughs, W.

description: Campylobacter infection is the most commonly notified bacterial enteritis in Germany. We performed a large combined case-control and source attribution study (Nov 2011-Feb 2014) to identify risk factors for sporadic intestinal Campylobacter infections and to determine the relative importance of various animal sources for human infections in Germany. We conducted multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify risk factors. Source attribution analysis was performed using the asymmetric island model based on MLST data of human and animal/food isolates. As animal sources we considered chicken, pig, pet dog or cat, cattle, and poultry other than chicken. Consumption of chicken meat and eating out were the most important risk factors for Campylobacter infections. Additional risk factors were preparation of poultry meat in the household; preparation of uncooked food and raw meat at the same time; contact with poultry animals; and the use of gastric acid inhibitors. The mean probability of human C. jejuni isolates to originate from chickens was highest (74%), whereas pigs were a negligible source for C. jejuni infections. Human C. coli isolates were likely to originate from chickens (56%) or from pigs (32%). Efforts need to be intensified along the food chain to reduce Campylobacter load, especially on chicken meat.

description: Computational Thinking (CT) is an integral process of thinking in humans that allows them to solve complex problems efficiently and effectively by breaking down a problem in smaller parts and using abstraction to create generalizable solutions. While the term CT has gained a lot of popularity in current education and research, there is still considerable ambiguity when it comes to defining exactly what CT encompasses. Since the definition and characteristics that make up CT vary so much, it is extremely difficult to measure CT in people. This thesis explains how different industry experts and organizations view CT and describes the importance of developing and integrating such a method of thinking in everyone, not just computer science professionals. The literature review also includes a comprehensive analysis of different tests and tools created to measure CT in people. This study proposes a web-based CT assessment collaborative tool that can be an effective instrument for teachers in assessing CT skills in students who are a part of the Teaching Engineering Concepts to Harness Future Innovators and Technologists (TECHFIT) program funded through NSF DRL-1312215 and NSF DRL-1640178. The vision of this tool is to become a go-to platform for CT assessment where questions collaborated by experts can be used to reliably assess the CT skills of anyone interested in measuring them.
