description: Open collaboration systems (OCSs) like Wikipedia, Imgur, Zooniverse, StackExchange, and Reddit have shown that networked communities of volunteer contributors can produce and maintain immense, valuable public resources. A growing body of work within the Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) research community has come to recognize novel opportunities and challenges that openness brings with it. However, findings from these academic studies do not always permeate the boundaries between scholarship and practice. Furthermore, many important phenomena related to peer production are not yet fully understood. On March 14, 2015 in Vancouver, British Columbia a group of stakeholders from across the OCS research ecosystem came together to discuss the state of open collaboration research and practice, and to develop recommendations for advancing the field of OCS research and improving outcomes for OCS creators, contributors, users, and community organizers. The workshop's purpose was to bring together researchers on both sides of the "data divide" to identify current challenges and opportunities for future research within these research areas, and to develop a preliminary set of requirements for improved resource sharing and collaboration between OC enterprises and academic research institutions. The workshop program focused on characterizing areas of research within the domain of OCSs where partnerships between academic and industry researchers can both increase our scientific understanding of OCSs and also support those systems through research. This report includes findings from the workshop. It is intended to provide scholars, designers, managers, and communities with a set of relevant, current considerations for OCS research and practice agreed upon by leading researchers in the field. This document can serve as a reference point for future research, to direct new work and help justify it. OCS stakeholders may use it to identify knowledge gaps, research opportunities, and design directions, and to argue both the academic merit and practical utility of specific new initiatives that were called for in this workshop.
Agricultural Cooperative Development and Institutional Change: Swedish Examples from 1990 to 2020
Creators: name: Nilsson, Jerker
Publisher: name: International Journal on Food System Dynamics
Year: 2022
Subjects: traditional cooperative; hybrid cooperative; cooperative life cycle; cooperative demise; agricultural policy

description: This paper shows how cooperatives’ changing organizational structures can be explained by the Theory of Institutional Change. When a cooperative’s decision makers receive exogenous signals, endogenous processes concerning organizational adaptations start. Radical changes are met with resistance, such as the conver sion of a traditional cooperative into an entrepreneurial cooperative (where members have individual ownership) or a farmer-controlled business (external investors participate in ownership and governance). Cooperative memberships and leaderships may have change agents who advocate for new institutions while gatekeepers try to resist them. The development of Swedish agricultural cooperatives from 1990 until 2020 illustrates this theoretical reasoning.

Subjects: communication flow; means of communication; members; agricultural cooperatives

description: This study investigates the existing communication flows in agricultural cooperatives and the means of communication used by these organizations to communicate with their members . The authors conducted a systematic literature review to address the following questions: How does communication occur in agricultural cooperatives? What means of communication have been adopted by agricultural cooperatives? What are the main theories supporting the analysis of communication issues in these organizations? There is evidence in the literature that inadequate communication between management and cooperative members can be one of the reasons for organizational failure. Inconsistent and ineffective communication can create a disconnect between members and organizations. In addition, communication is an important mechanism capable of improving the commitment of members to the cooperative. Despite this, agricultural cooperatives are slow to incorporate more diverse and effective means of communication to reach their varied audiences.

Subjects: grounded theory; family farm succession; intra-family farm succession; family business; mindset

description: This paper investigates mindsets in the context of family farm succession. Using a grounded theory approach, interviews and group discussions were analyzed. Results based on both data sets present prototypical mindsets of successful predecessors and successors. The mindset construct, which has been developed for this study, was expanded with stakeholders, information flows, and time, according to the results of this study. The findings provide insights into information processing in intra-familial farm succession and the mindsets of successful predecessors and successors. The mindset approach offers a supplementary and valuable perspective on the succession process. It can contribute to early action taking of farming families or consultants.

description: Halal food is food allowed by Islamic sharia. On the contrary, haram food is not permitted, such as alcohol, pork, blood, carrion, and meat not slaughtered according to sharia. Based on Article 39 of Law Number 33 of 2014 concerning halal product guarantees, halal certificates are issued by the Halal Product Guarantee Agency (BPJPH) in Indonesia. The halal certification guarantees that food has a composition containing halal ingredients. However, many food products still do not have a halal certificate. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the halal status of food products that are still not certified. In this work, we predict the halal status of food using graph similarity algorithms. In this case, we acquire products from the Indomaret website. The product data contains the product name, the composition of the food product, and the manufacturer. Moreover, we crawl the halal food database on Halal MUI website. Both datasets are merged into a single dataset based on the products name. Then, the similarity algorithms such as Jaccard similarity, Approximate Nearest Neighbor, Adamic Adar and Preferential Att achment are performed amongst products in the dataset. F-measure evaluate the accuracy of each algorithm.

Year: 2022
Subjects: Consumer attitudes; fresh fish; Iran; salmon; willingness to pay

description: This paper explores attitudes and willingness to pay (WTP) for Norwegian salmon, Iranian rainbow trout, and Iranian narrow-barred Spanish mackerel among Iranian consumers. An interval regression model found that consumption frequency and product attributes affected WTP. Salmon was ranked highest on taste, nutrition, and convenience but lowest on price. The average estimated WTP for salmon was US $14.82, which is higher than for the other species but below the market price. The main challenges for salmon exporters will be to reduce the current high price and to differentiate salmon further in the market.

description: Policies are becoming intensively interrelated while increasing numbers of societal groups and stakeholders are affected. At the same time, current and future challenges require improved capacity in terms of models, their linkages or redesigns to deliver forward-looking insights on policies. Different stakeholder workshops have recently been carried out in the context of two scenario studies to support these activities, including stocktaking, inputs for narratives, validation of the outcomes, acceptance of analysis and drafting future research agendas. This paper describes the approaches applied in both projects, shortly presents their results and findings to finally draw some general conclusions.

How can organizations be better prepared to handle the risk of the next insider-threat? The Federal Government is no different, as one of the largest employer’s in the world, the growing risk of an insider-threat is always present. In a systematic review, the evidence will identify how Federal agencies can utilize risk-management to be better prepared to combat an insider-threat. Recommendations will be made to help Federal agencies be on the lookout for the next viable insider-threat.
Sustainable Frozen Food Facility Location Selection under Pandemic Era

Subjects: Frozen food; Location Selection; Sustainability; PROMETHEE

description: Consumption of frozen food has increased significantly in many countries experiencing total closure due to epidemics. In order to meet this increase in demand, companies apply different strategies in both production and logistics processes. In particular, warehouse locations need to be closer to consumers so as not to disrupt the increasing demand and the cold chain. Considering the sustainable position in the frozen food industry, it is essential to focus on both commercial and economic impacts. However, especially the environmental and sustainable criteria have always been neglected in terms of planning the country and the city. Therefore, this study has three main research questions; (1) identify key criteria for sustainability-focused frozen food facility location, (2) understand the relationship between these criteria, and (3) develop a hierarchical sustainable location roadmap for practitioners. Initially, a literature review was conducted to find the answers to these questions and reveal suitable criteria. Secondly, PROMETHEE was used to determine the relative importance of the data-driven performance of the main and sub-criteria. Therefore, this study gives the reader a comprehensive insight into how sustainable data-driven performance criteria are applied in frozen food storage facility locations. Finally, the proposed model used real-life data to select a developing country's sustainable frozen food storage location.

Subjects: Optimization Inventory; Grey Wolf Optimizer; vendor-buyer; inventory model

description: Inventory is an essential factor in the supply chain. Inventory problems are increasingly complex for perishable products such as food. This study proposes a Single Vendor-Single Buyer (SVSB) model for food products by considering exponential quality degradation. The objective function of this problem is to maximize the Joint Total Profit (JTP) of the SVSB system. The frequency of ordering raw materials (m), the frequency of delivery of the finished product (n), and the time of the inventory cycle (T) were the three (3) decision variables introduced in the study. This study proposes the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm as an optimization tool for SVSB problems. A case study was conducted on a food company in Indonesia. Sensitivity analysis on costs, revenue, and JTP was also presented. The results showed that raw materials' quality degradation level affected JTP. The results also suggested that the GWO algorithm performs better than the Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize the SVSB inventory model.

description: Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a serious complication of adult congenital heart disease associated with systemic-to-pulmonary shunts. Although early shunt closure restricts development of pulmonary arterial hypertension, patients remain at risk even after repair. The development of pulmonary arterial hypertension is associated with a markedly increased morbidity and mortality. It is important to identify patients with a poor prognosis using disease specific markers. Echocardiography and biomarkers arise as practical tools to determine the risk of mortality. Although pulmonary arterial hypertension cannot be cured, four classes of disease-targeting therapies are currently available and several promising therapies are being studied. There is a shift in drug studies towards more clinically relevant endpoints such as time to clinical worsening and morbidity and mortality events.

description: This article presents the views of 222 head teachers and classroom-based teachers about their experiences and perceptions of 193 specific classroom environments from 29 primary schools in 3 different areas in England, UK. One-to-one interviews were carried out focusing on teachers' perceptions about their classrooms throughout the year. It was found that teachers' views of their overall comfort were fairly high, despite widespread problems with overheating, stuffiness, glare and noise. Surprisingly, schools built in 1950s had the least negative feelings, while those since the 1990s to date had the highest. The teachers appear to be aware of the ‘hard’ aspects of the physical environment, but less conscious of the impact of ‘softer’ aspects, especially those with impact on the level of stimulation created.

description: In this study, a novel electric field compressor is proposed by doping a metal-air-metal pillar in epsilon-near-zero medium within a metallic waveguide, which effectively enhances the background electric fields in a sub-wavelength air pillar with high uniformity. The field enhancement factor can be analytically determined through theoretical derivations from Maxwell's equations, reaching its maximum value by appropriately selecting the size of the air pillar. Furthermore, the proposed compressor can achieve a tunable electric field enhancement effect within the deep sub-wavelength air pillar by adjusting the height of the air pillar through movement of two metal pillars inserted into the waveguide. Both theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are employed to validate the performance of the electric field compressor, which exhibits a wide range of tunable field enhancement effect (i.e., continuously adjustable enhancement factor between 20 and 800) with uniformity below 1.5 within the deep sub-wavelength air pillar (wherein the air volume is smaller than la0/10 * la0/10 * la0/16). Finally, a practical model is proposed for the realization of the electric field compressor in the microwave range, where specially placed metal pillars and wires are incorporated into a rectangular metallic waveguide structure. The field enhancement and tunable effects of this practical model have been verified through simulations.

description: Purpose: Children with specific language impairment (SLI) frequently have difficulty producing the past tense. This study aimed to quantify the relative influence of telicity (i.e. the completedness of an event), verb frequency and stem final phonemes on the production of past tense by school-age children with SLI and their typically-developing (TD) peers.Method: Archival elicited production data from children with SLI between the ages of 6–9 and TD peers aged 4–8 were re-analysed. Past tense accuracy was predicted using measures of telicity, verb frequency measures and properties of the final consonant of the verb stem.Result: All children were highly accurate when verbs were telic, the inflected form was frequently heard in the past tense and the word ended in a sonorant/non-alveolar consonant. All children were less accurate when verbs were atelic, rarely heard in the past tense or ended in a word final obstruent or alveolar consonant. SLI status depressed overall accuracy rates, but did not influence how facilitative a given factor was.Conclusion: Some factors that have been believed to be useful only when children are first discovering past tense, such as telicity, appear to be influential in later years as well.

description: Purpose: This study investigated the effect of morphological case and number marking on the comprehension of relative clauses by Greek children with Specific Language Impairment and Language Age controls.Method: An agent selection task and experimental materials consisting of 12 subject and 12 object relative clauses were employed. There were two experimental conditions: The first one manipulated number marking for Noun Phrases and the verb (singular vs plural) and neutralised Case through the use of Noun Phrases with neuter gender, which in Greek is ambiguous between Nominative and Accusative. The second one manipulated case and included Noun Phrases marked for morphological case.Result: The Language Age controls performed better on the comprehension of object relative clauses with case manipulation than on those with number, unlike the children with Specific Language Impairment, who performed at the same level on the comprehension of relative clauses with number and case manipulation.Conclusion: The children with Specific Language Impairment did not make efficient use of the morphological case cues in object relative clause interpretation. We argue that deficient use of case cues in object relative clause interpretation is due to difficulties in rapid interpretation of case information in these demanding structures.

description: Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to explore infrastructure issues that may be barriers to the establishment and improvement of dysphagia services in Malaysia compared to settings with established dysphagia management services (i.e. Queensland, Australia).Method: A mixed method design incorporating quantitative and qualitative data was used to increase credibility, validity and comprehensiveness of the results. Thirty-eight hospitals (Malaysia = 21, Queensland = 17) participated in Phase 1 (quantitative component) of the study involving completion of an infrastructure checklist by a speech-language pathologist from each hospital regarding availability of networking and communication, staffing and financial support, facilities and documentation of guidelines for dysphagia management. Subsequently, eight sub-samples from each cohort were then involved in Phase 2 (qualitative component) of the study involving a semi-structured interview on issues related to the impact of infrastructure availability or constraints on service provision.Result: The current study reveals that multiple challenges exist with regard to dysphagia services in Malaysian government hospitals compared to Queensland public hospitals.Conclusion: Overall, it was identified that service improvement in Malaysia requires change at a systems and structures level, but also, more importantly, at the individual/personal level, particularly focusing on the culture, behaviour and attitudes among the staff regarding dysphagia services.

description: Purpose: This study investigates the effects of peer-mediated intervention on the responses and initiations of pre-schoolers (aged 4;2–5;1) with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).Method: A speech-language pathologist and three early childhood educators trained typically-developing peers to facilitate responses and initiations from three pre-schoolers with ASD during playtime. A multiple baseline design across subjects was used to determine the effects of the intervention. Play sessions between the children with ASD and their typically-developing peers were videotaped. Videotapes were analysed using an interval coding system in order to collect information regarding responses and initiations.Result: All three target children demonstrated improvements in their responses and initiations to their peers during intervention. Moreover, they maintained these gains 4 weeks later and generalized their response and initiation skills to an untrained peer. Social validity data, obtained using unbiased, independent, lay, observers to rate the children's performance provided external validation of an observable treatment effect (i.e. increased responses and initiations) following intervention.Conclusion: The results suggest that training typically-developing peers to implement intervention strategies using the collaboration between a speech-language pathologist and early childhood educators may be an effective model of service delivery to enhance peer interaction skills of pre-schoolers with ASD.

description: Background: Assessment of oral language skills is challenging in multilingual environments. With language policies promoting increased use of English and reduction of dialectal varieties of languages, rapid changes in language further confound assessment.Purpose: This study explores the currency of normative data on an expressive language screening tool in English for English-Mandarin bilingual Singaporean children.Method: Spoken language samples in English from 101 pre-school children were compared with those from 481 children in the original data collection in 2002. Scores for expressive vocabulary and morphosyntax were compared for the two main language groups.Result: Results indicate that the normative data for English-dominant children are still current. The data for younger Mandarin-dominant children showed improved test scores, indicating improvement in expressive morphosyntax in English.Conclusion: English language competency has changed over time for Mandarin-dominant children in Singapore, likely due to the influence of language policy on language use. This is a particular challenge in multilingual environments. Current literature emphasizes the need to develop language assessments specific to populations and language groups for standardized assessments to be valid and reliable. These results demonstrate the need to monitor normative data and characteristics of language over time and to update standardized language assessments accordingly.

title: Studies on Gloss of Printed Surfaces
Creators: name: Weber, Carl Fridolin
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: This scientific work investigates the gloss of printed metallized surfaces. In the first part of the study, three different gloss meters - the micro-TRI-gloss by Byk Gardner, the IQ-S by Rhopoint, and the Surface Reflectance Analyzer by Canon - are examined and compared regarding their suitability in measuring the gloss of printed metallized samples. The advantages and disadvantages of these different gloss meters are highlighted, and their suitability for conducting gloss measurements in this context of this dissertation is evaluated. The work also delves into the printing of aluminum pigments and explores how different print parameters affect gloss. The focus is primarily on flexo printing using UV printing inks containing aluminum pigments. The impact of the time interval between printing of the UV-inks and curing on gloss is analyzed. This investigation of dynamic gloss considers the change in gloss per time unit. The change rate depends on the ink types, pigment varieties, and substrates used. Furthermore, an analysis of the topography of pigment layers on metallized samples, with varying time intervals between the printing and curing of UV-inks, is conducted. These findings are then transferred to an industrial printing press, examining the influence of the time gap between printing and curing the UV-inks and the use of hot air on gloss. Additionally, the effect of primer application on gloss is analyzed. Finally, the results of a psychophysical experiment dealing with the perception of gloss of printed metallic samples are discussed. Two different sets of samples were evaluated by amateurs and experts from the printing industry with regard to their gloss, metallic character, perceived roughness, image sharpness of the reflection and brightness. The obtained rankings were compared with each other and correlated with the measured values of a gloss meter.

description: Existential nihilism is on the rise in modern societies, but no previous work has investigated the social psychology of seeing no meaning in life. In the current research, five studies (N = 1,634) show that targets’ existential nihilist beliefs elicit a range of negative stereotypes about personality traits, commonly valued social traits, and targets’ ability to perform basic adaptive social tasks. Results demonstrate that these negative stereotypes are mediated by belief that the target is depressed more than the belief the target is non-religious or that the target does not plan for the future. Unlike atheists, who are seen as competent, no positive stereotypes emerged for nihilists, suggesting both future research and interventions aimed at updating false beliefs about nihilists.

description: ABSTRACTA new map of the seabed geomorphology on the Porcupine Bank, located at the western edge of the north-eastern Atlantic shelf west of Ireland, uses high-resolution multibeam bathymetric and backscatter data as well as numerous shallow seismic profiles to identify individual landforms. They are described based on their acoustic signature on the various datasets. The landforms comprise sharp-crested ridges, mounds and outcrops often associated with and expressing underlying bedrock topography; sand waves highlighting modern currents directions; and iceberg scours with strongly preferred orientations. The map is intended as baseline evidence to test models of the palaeoceanographic and palaeoglaciological history of the Porcupine Bank.

description: The challenge of inconsistent results from different data pipelines, even when starting from identical data, is a recognized concern in exoplanetary science. As we transition into the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) era and prepare for the ARIEL space mission, addressing this issue becomes paramount because of its implications on our understanding of exoplanets. Although comparing pipeline results for individual exoplanets has become more common, this study is the first to compare pipeline results at the catalogue level. We present a comprehensive framework to statistically compare the outcomes of data analysis reduction on a population of exoplanets and we leverage the large number of observations conducted using the same instrument configured with HST-WFC3. We employ three independent pipelines: Iraclis, EXCALIBUR, and CASCADe. Our combined findings reveal that these pipelines, despite starting from the same data and planet system parameters, yield substantially different spectra in some cases. However, the most significant manifestations of pipeline differences are observed in the compositional trends of the resulting exoplanet catalogues. We conclude that pipeline-induced differences lead to biases in the retrieved information, which are not reflected in the retrieved uncertainties. Our findings underscore the critical need to confront these pipeline differences to ensure the reproducibility, accuracy, and reliability of results in exoplanetary research. Our results demonstrate the need to understand the potential for population-level bias that pipelines may inject, which could compromise our understanding of exoplanets as a class of objects.

description: USDA implements several loan and grant programs to support rural businesses. Of these, the Business and Industry (B&I) Guaranteed Loan Program is the largest, with a program level of $892 million (the total value of all loans given under the program) in 2017. By reducing lenders’ risk, the B& I program encourages them to provide more generous terms or larger principal amounts, or to approve loans to rural businesses that they otherwise would not make. ERS researchers found that receiving a B&I loan reduced the risk of business failure, although this effect dropped with time.

description: Understanding spatial connections between breeding and wintering populations is critical for developing sound conservation plans in migratory animals. However, for long-distance migratory songbird species wintering in sub-Saharan Africa, many of which are in a state of population decline, information on migratory connectivity is especially lacking. We used mitochondrial DNA data from wintering populations of the Great Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) in western (Nigeria), southern (Botswana and Zambia) and eastern (Kenya) Africa, as well as from several Eurasian breeding populations, to compare genetic differentiation and haplotype sharing between non-breeding and breeding populations. We found that the population in Nigeria had the best genetic match to breeding populations in West and Central Europe. In contrast, Botswana matched with West, Central and East Europe, and Zambia with Central and East Europe and the Middle East. Finally, Kenya showed the most distinct connectivity pattern of the four analysed populations and matched with East Europe and, in particular, to the Middle East. Our results indicate clear but weak migratory connectivity in Great Reed Warblers, a pattern that should be considered in conservation strategies of Palearctic–African migratory passerines.

description: Correlation functions are important probes for the behavior of quantum field theories. Already at tree-level, the Refined Gribov Zwanziger (RGZ) effective action for Yang-Mills theories provides a good approximation for the gluon propagator, as compared to that calculated by nonperturbative methods such as Lattice Field Theory and Dyson-Schwinger Equations. However, the study of higher correlation functions of the RGZ theory is still at its beginning. In this work we evaluate the ghost-antighost-gluon vertex function in Landau gauge at one-loop level, in $d=4$ space-time dimensions for the gauge groups SU(2) and SU(3). More precisely, we extend the analysis conducted in [1] for the soft-gluon limit to an arbitrary kinematic configuration. We introduce renormalization group effects by means of a toy model for the running coupling and investigate the impact of such a model in the ultraviolet tails of our results. We find that RGZ results match fairly closely those from lattice simulations, Schwinger-Dyson equations and the Curci-Ferrari model for three different kinematic configurations. This is compatible with RGZ being a feasible theory for the strong interaction in the infrared regime.
