description: This report examines the dynamics of checkpoints, or roadblock politics, as a critical lens for understanding Somalia's political economy, with a focus on the Hiraan region. Checkpoints serve as pivotal sites of power and revenue for political entrepreneurs and public authorities, shaping state-society relations and influencing security and governance. The repercussions of the stalled Ma’awisley offensive against Al Shabaab, initiated in Hiraan, have manifested in a proliferation of checkpoints and heightened insecurity, particularly in northern Hiraan, fuelling public protests and exacerbating the restriction of movement. Checkpoints, which vary from militarized to invisible in nature, reveal the fragility of state-building in Somalia and underscore the need for collaborative reconciliation and power-sharing among Federal, Regional, and local actors. These sites also serve as a political budget for political entrepreneurs to build coercive capacities, sustain militias, and pursue individual political agendas. Drawing on over 30 interviews and field observations, this report situates checkpoint dynamics within the broader framework of sub-national governance and power struggles in Hiraan from 2022 to 2024. It highlights the under-explored relationship between checkpoints and political entrepreneurs, offering insights into the control of mobility as a lens to reassess state formation and the enduring impact of roadblock politics in the Somali context.

description: Meloe (Meloe) sp. aff. hottentotus Péringuey, 1886 (Fig. 5Y)
Distribution. Namibia (endemic?) (new species record for this country).
Material examined and literature records. [Otjozondjupa] Omatako: road-central, Umg. Otjiwarongo, Otjibamba lodge, 20.5355°S 16.6537°E (CP).
Remarks. The holotype of M. hottentotus was examined at SAMC.
The nominate subgenus of Meloe was never recorded from Namibia. The single female examined, greatly damaged, is not referable to any described Afrotropical species of the nominate subgenus (see Bologna & Pinto 1998) and probably represents a new species, close to M. hottentotus Péringuey, 1886. In Fig. 5Y is presented a male specimen of H. hottentotus from South Africa

description: In the big data era, the digital revolution has driven the entire financial industry to collect, store and analyze massive volumes of data nowadays than it ever has in history. With the overwhelming scale of data, new technologies are needed to derive competitive advantage and unlock the power of the data, including the approaches people use for financial risk management.    In this dissertation, we study how advanced data mining techniques can play essential roles in financial risk management. Specifically, we provide case studies to apply data mining techniques in three application scenarios for financial risk management. The first study exploits a special type of fraudulent trading ring pattern in the financial market, and defines the so-called blackhole and volcano patterns to identify the fraud. A blackhole mining framework consisting of two pruning schemes is developed. The first pruning scheme is to exploit the concept of combination dominance to reduce the exponential growth search space. The second pruning scheme is an approximate approach, which can strike a balance between the efficiency and the completeness of blackhole mining.    The second study exploits the problem of contract risk management. In particular, how IT service providers can leverage the experiences and lessons learnt from historical contracts to prevent similar issues from reoccurring in the future, in order to mitigate the project risks, ensure smooth delivery and continuous profitability. Along this line, we investigate how to predict potential risks for new contracts based on their similarities with existing ones, and develop a new approach as an extension of the Mahalanobis distance metric learning framework to solve the problem.    The third study examines the application of cluster analysis in bankruptcy pattern learning and financial statement fraud detection. By leveraging the domain knowledge in accounting area, valuable features from financial statement can be extracted. Clustering technique is then applied to identify the clustering effect of bankrupt companies in different business sectors. Finally, the most indicative financial features for the bankrupt companies in the business sector can be uncovered from the hidden data and validated by significant tests.

Remarks. The holotype of this species was not examined.
The taxonomy of the genus is still unsatisfactory being the distinctive characters quite variable (see Bologna 1994). S. testacea seems distributed only in southern Africa, but the differences with S. cephalotes (Kolbe, 1897) and S. senegalensis (Laporte de Castelnau, 1840), both widely spread in the intertropical fascia of Africa, and S. betsimirasaka Paulian, 1956, from Madagascar and Comores Islands, are not well defined (Bologna & Laurenzi 1994).

Male identity and academic engagement

description: There are numerous theoretical and empirical studies that discuss variables that affect academic outcomes for Black males in higher education.  However, few studies specifically investigate the influences of race and gender on academic engagement in post-secondary education settings. This qualitative study utilized semi-structured interviews to explore the influence of male identity on academic engagement amongst Black males in an urban university. Semi-structured interviews of secondary participants (family, peers, university affiliate and mentor) for each primary participant (Black male collegian) were used to obtain a more comprehensive view of the ways in which the collegians construct their male identity. Exploring the constructed identities of five Black male collegians at an urban university in the Northeast, this dissertation study sought to answer the following primary and secondary research questions: In what ways, do the male identities of Black male collegians influence their academic engagement? and How is Black male identity constructed and operationalized among matriculated undergraduate students? Several findings emanate from this study; however, the two are paramount. Respondents in this study frequently oscillate between competing identities. The collegians repeatedly chose between identities that promote academic commitment and those that do not; often resulting in diminished engagement.Secondarily, levels of academic engagement are linked to self-image prior to matriculation and positive guidance and mentorship once matriculated. The findings suggest that in order to increase the rates of engagement among Black collegians there needs to be a greater number of faculty and administrators who serve as mentors and advisors.

description: This document explores comprehensive policies to address inequality in Africa, drawing on the influential work of Anthony Atkinson and others. It underscores that inequality is a policy choice, necessitating interventions across multiple dimensions: material, experiential, cultural, and symbolic. The analysis emphasizes the urgency of tackling inequality due to demographic shifts, economic instability, climate change, and systemic shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing Atkinson's "inside and outside the box" framework, the document reviews policies aimed at reducing income inequality. "Inside the box" policies include labor market interventions (minimum wages, collective bargaining, active labor market policies), social expenditure (cash transfers), and tax policies, while "outside the box" policies focus on altering social relations, technological change, guaranteed public employment, addressing power asymmetries, capital sharing funds, and a citizen's income. The challenges posed by Africa's large informal sector and limited fiscal space are highlighted. The document discusses the role of technology in mitigating inequality, exemplified by mobile money platforms, and stresses the importance of addressing ownership and regulation issues. It also examines the need to rebalance power asymmetries between employers and employees, the role of trade unions, and the limitations of capital sharing funds and land redistribution policies. The feasibility of a citizen's income is analyzed, noting funding challenges through direct taxes. Concluding, the document calls for an expanded policy toolkit tailored to African contexts, addressing the informal labor market, pre-market inequalities, and the legacy of colonialism. It highlights the necessity of coordinated global responses and policy innovation, as demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and advocates for a coherent policy agenda to reduce income inequality, broaden wealth and social capital ownership, and address fiscal constraints.

Continuous risk monitoring and assessment

description: In their monograph “Continuous Assurance (CA) for the Now Economy,” Vasarhelyi et al. (2010) introduce Continuous Risk Monitoring and Assessment (CRMA) as a future area of continuous auditing. CRMA is a CA methodology to monitor an organization’s business risks, identify its uncontrolled significant risks, and prioritize audit and risk management procedures for the timely mitigation of such risks. They argue that development of CRMA procedures is necessary to keep maintain the relevance of CA system in a changing audit risk environment.   This dissertation discusses the development of CRMA and proposes a methodology encompassing four components: (1) identification of the entity risks, (2) selection of relevant Key Risk Indicators (KRI, Institute of Operation Risk, 2010), (3) use of relevant KRIs to assess the entity’s risk exposure levels, and (4) prioritization of audit and risk management procedures in real time. This framework will assist the auditor in selecting audit procedures in response to changes in the entity’s business risks, facilitating timelier prevention or mitigation of their adverse effects on the entity’s business operations. Addressing those four components guided the development of the proposed methodology of CRMA.   To illustrate the use of KRIs to assess and monitor business risks under the proposed CRMA methodology, we discuss the monitoring and assessment of corporate reputation risk using KRIs. We also present a metric that measures the degree of negative public perception of an organization extracted from current social media platforms (specifically, Twitter) as a KRI to represent the organization’s current reputation level and confirm the occurrence of the organization’s reputational damage. We demonstrate the present KRI by measuring Twitter response to two real risk events: Purina’s lawsuit for selling harmful dog food and Starbucks’ “Race Together” campaign. We analyze the Twitter response mentioning these two risk events and measure the degree of the public’s negative perception embedded in them by using the present KRI. We discuss our methods used to perform this analysis and present the results.

Apalus hilaris (Marseul, 1879) (Fig. 6B)
Coriologiton hilaris Marseul, 1879
Distribution. Angola and Namibia (new species record for this country).
Material examined and literature records. [Omaheke] Steinhausen: Summerdown, 21.4113°S 18.5146°E (CK).
Remarks. The holotype of this species is lost.
We examined only the photo of one Namibian specimen, which corresponds completely to the description of A. hilaris, a neglected species described from Angola (Marseul 1879) and no more collected. Possibly the holotype was burned in the fire (1978) of the zoological collection housed at the National Museum of Natural History and Science, Lisbon; in this case the Namibian specimen could represent the only available voucher of this species. Marseul (1879) described the species as “? Criolis ” and in the last paragraph proposed for it the new genus Coriologiton Marseul, 1879. Criolis is a subjective synonym of Apalus, and Coriologiton was considered as synonym in most of the previous literature. The inclusion in Apalus of hilaris and two other eastern African species, namely A. robustus Pic, 1913 (from Kenya), and A. tanganyikanus Kaszab, 1981 (from Tanzania), needs confirmation. Kaszab (1981) considered as African Apalus only hilaris, tankanyikanus, bipartitus Pic, 1909, from Erytraea, which actually is a Sitaris, and rubripennis Laporte de Castelanu, 1840 from South Africa, which actually is an Iselma. A future revision of types and additional material of the three Afrotropical species referred to Apalus, probably could support the distinction of Coriologiton as distinct genus, as suggested by Bologna & Pinto (2002).

description: I utilize the concept of specific polarizability (cs), represented as the ratio of mineral-fluid interface polarization per pore-normalized surface area Sp, to emphasize the influence of clay mineralogy and fluid chemistry on complex conductivity (CC) measurements. CC measurements were performed on kaolinite- and illite- sand mixtures as a function of varying ethanol (EtOH) concentration (10% and 20% v/v). Specific surface area of each clay type and Ottawa sand was determined by nitrogen gas adsorption-BET method. I also calculated porosity and saturation of each mixture based on weight loss of dried samples. Debye decomposition, a phenomenological model, was applied to the CC data to determine normalized chargeability (mn).  The cs¬ estimates from previous CC measurements for bentonite-sand mixtures were compared with our dataset. The cs for all sand-clay mixtures decreased as the EtOH concentration increased from 0% to 10% to 20%. We observe similar responses to clay-driven polarization for all sand-clay mixtures.  Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a level of significance α = 0.05 found that suppression in cs responses with increasing EtOH concentration statistically vary for all sand-clay mixtures but the confidence level for cs  is low. On the other hand, real conductivity showed only small changes with increasing EtOH concentration from 10% to 20%. The cs estimates reflect the sensitivity of CC measurements to alteration in surface chemistry at the available surface adsorption sites (internal and external) for different clay types assumed to result from chemical ion exchange at clay surface and kinetic reactions in the electrical double layer of the clay-water-EtOH media.
Nutritional adequacy of home food inventories of seniors receiving home-delivered meals in South Carolina

description: The aging of the American population and subsequent increase in chronic disease will have a profound effect on public health, social services and healthcare. In the United States, a healthy lifestyle, diet and exercise can help delay and/or treat chronic diseases and promote quality of life. Former studies have evaluated home food inventories in U.S households for several nutrients, yet data regarding in-home pantries of homebound older adults is scarce. Quality dietary intake is important when energy requirements are reduced due to aging; seniors may be at nutritional risk from vitamin and mineral inadequacies, contributing to a decline in health status and function. The in-home food inventory takes on major importance for the homebound due to physical, mental, economic and social limitations impacting food procurement, storage, preparation and consumption. The current study details the nutritional adequacy of the in-home food inventory of homebound seniors and examines gender and ethnic differences. Highest values for days meeting Daily Values and Dietary Reference Intakes were found for vitamin A and sodium. Convenience foods were abundant, providing economical, shelf-stable, and easy  iv  to prepare meals when functionally limited. Vitamin D and calcium were found to be the limiting nutrients in this study. The highest frequency of significant differences in home food inventories was found between races: White compared to non-White, and for females: White compared to non-White. Dairy products have repeatedly been reported as the major contributor of vitamin D for adults. In this study, the contribution of dairy products to total vitamin D ranged from 16.7% (non-White males) to 32.2% (White females); females had 51% more dairy products in their inventories than males. Fish and ready-to eat cereals took on major importance in food inventories, providing nutrient dense, shelf-stable and economical sources of vitamin D. Reduced consumption of milk and major sources of vitamin D, along with declining cutaneous synthesis of vitamin D with age present challenges in developing public health strategies to achieve adequate vitamin D intake in the older population.

Today's technology has created an impersonal generation with a clear disrespect for life that has inherited the right to bear arms

description: The newest generation's lack of respect and value for others has created the need for stronger gun control laws due to the increase in shootings and aggressive behavior caused by young adults and even children. Our Founding Fathers didn’t snticipate that (The Right to Bear) Arms would be in the handd of those that have a clear disrespect for life. More specific and stronger laws regarding gun control should be put in place in every state or nationally. Although some states have adopted strong gun control laws, others have not, allowing the crossing of state lines, reducing the impact of state regulations. Firearm accessories, like long capacity magazines, also need more regulation. Better gun control nationally will hopefully reduce/stop the rising number of mass murders frequently committed by young people.

description: Subgenus Nessus Reichardt, 1932
Nessus Reichardt, 1932: 32. Nessus: REICHARDT (1941): 293; KRYZHANOVSKIJ & REICHARDT (1976): 202, 207; VIENNA (1980): 171, 178; MAZUR & KASZAB (1980): 45; MAZUR (1984): 86; MAZUR (1997): 252; YÉLAMOS (2002): 308, 318; MAZUR (2004): 93.
Type species: Saprinus rubripes Erichson, 1834, original designation.
Diagnosis. The subgenus Nessus differs from the subgenera Hypocacculus and Colpellus by densely and usually coarsely punctated frontal disc, often with shallow irregular rugae (frontal disc occasionally coarsely granulate, especially in several species from the Afrotropical Region); frontal stria usually well impressed, curved or straight, in most cases interrupted behind eyes; supraorbital stria usually absent.
Biology. As it is common with this genus, members of this subgenus are mostly found on carrion and in dung, excrements, etc. Several species are apparently psammophilous (e.g. Hypocacculus (Nessus) eremobius Reichardt, 1932).
Distribution. This subgenus includes the bulk (about 54 species) of representatives of the genus Hypocacculus, and is especially species-rich in the Afrotropical Region. Several species occur as far east as India and Sri Lanka. Hypocacculus (Nessus) interpunctatus has been introduced into Australia (MAZUR 1997).
Species examined. Hypocacculus (Nessus) ascendens Reichardt, 1932, H. (N.) balux Reichardt, 1932, H. (N.) baudii (Schmidt, 1890), H. (N.) controversus G. Müller, 1937, H. (N.) eremobius Reichardt, 1932, H. (N.) grosclaudei (Normand, 1935), H. (N.) hosseinus (Théry, 1921), H. (N.) interpunctatus (Schmidt, 1885a), H. (N.) kiseritzkyi Reichardt, 1932, H. (N.) occator Reichardt, 1932, H. (N.) orbus Reichardt, 1932, H. (N.) oxytropis Reichardt, 1932, H. (N.) rubripes (Erichson, 1834), H. (N.) rufipes (Kugelann, 1792), H. (N.) tigris araxis Reichardt, 1932, H. (N.) tigris tigris (Marseul, 1862), H. (N.) vethi (Bickhardt, 1912), H. (N.) vlasovi Kryzhanovskij, 1966.
Notes on the taxonomic status of Hypocacculus (Nessus) grosclaudei. Hypocacculus (N.) grosclaudei has been originally described in the genus Exaesiopus. However, PEYERIMHOFF (1936) proposed to include it in the genus Hypocacculus, subgenus Nessus. Although KRYZHA- NOVSKIJ & REICHARDT (1976) likewise objected placing it in Exaesiopus, MAZUR (1984, 1997) left its taxonomic status unchanged. After examining several specimens of this species (one of them has been compared with the type species by Peyerimhoff (MNHN)) the opinion of PEYERIMHOFF (1936) is upheld in this work.

Sex (etc.) on the Internet

description: Kids and teens across the United States of America receive different versions of Sexual Health Education courses at school. But the wide range of topics, and often politically sensitive discussions required to get a full understanding of sexual health, prevents many students from getting all of their questions answered. Previous studies have shown that things like STI/STD rates and teen pregnancy percentages, are often much higher in areas with limited Sex Education, as opposed to areas where students receive a version of Sex Education that covers a vast amount of topics. The one commonality amongst these different areas of the country is that these students have access to, and are consistently using the internet to obtain information. In an effort to show the value of using the internet as a reliable resource for furthering and clarifying sexual health education, we utilized and advertised the website SexEtc.org as one of those reliable internet resources. We conducted interviews, using questions found on the website as guidance, to gauge just how much knowledge students had about these basic sexual health topics. We then reached out to the NTSA and My Central Jersey asking them to include these interviews in their newsletters that are accessed by thousands of people daily.

description: The absence of decent healthcare infrastructure can tremendously inhibit the ability of developing nations to provide citizens with suitable medical care. There are various charitable organizations that serve to improve the healthcare of communities in need, however many of these traditional humanitarian groups aim to provide aid during times of crisis and do not necessarily focus on improving overall healthcare in a permanent capacity. Other organizations, including Life in Abundance and Homes of Living Hope, seek to provide sustainable solutions to the problems associated with poor medical infrastructure through transforming shipping containers into pop-up medical clinics. These medical clinics can provide a more permanent solution to the problem of poor medical infrastructure benefitting many aspects of healthcare, including emergency medicine, prenatal and obstetric care, preventative medicine, and, most importantly, primary care. The objective of improving primary medical care in impoverished areas is to improve the overall community health and decrease the burden on emergency medicine. Individual volunteers in the United States can provide support through helping to transform shipping containers into medical clinics.

The macroeconomics of micro pigs

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: For the past several decades, pigs have been leaving farms and gradually entering our homes as beloved pets. Mini pigs especially have been taking lead on this trend because of their small and manageable size. The issue is, there is no assurance that mini pigs will stay true to their small size. A direct result of this issue can be seen in animal shelters, sanctuaries, and rehoming advertisements. Mini pigs are a product of our own selfish preferences, as humans created mini pigs for both benefit and profit. The reason behind choosing this topic is that one of the authors herself was interested in owning a mini pig. It wasn’t until after thorough research that she concluded there is no guarantee when buying a mini pig. It is our mission to educate other prospective owners and prevent any more mini pigs from being abused.

description: In Istanbul, Turkey there are countless stray cats and dogs lacking basic shelter and medical care. Though fed by food and water left out, these can becomes areas of disease and injuries. A possible way to prevent this is to ban food left out by those who do bring in animals to be treated, as well as further encouraging the adoption of stray animals. By contacting a major Turkish animal rights group on this proposed solution, we hope to encourage change in that region to improve the lives of cats and dogs.

Although de-extinction is a realistic and presently practiced science, it is not the same as movies like Jurassic Park depict it to be.  We presented the topic of de-extinction to several high school classes and then surveyed their interest in the subject and science in general.

description: Supersonic transport has been an active field of aviation research since the 1950s, and its commercialization culminated in the Anglo-French airliner, the Concorde. Due to unsustainable operation costs and the sonic booms emanating along the path, supersonic transports have retreated from the forefront of research since the Concorde’s decommission. The annoyance caused by sonic booms further prompted the FAA to prohibit all overland civil flights over Mach 1. However, recent resurgence in SST projects such as NASA’s QueSST project and its experimental aircraft X-59 is set to employ a boom-minimization configuration and to re-evaluate the prospects of overland supersonic flights. In light of this advancement, a trajectory optimization framework that minimizes perceived boom along the path, tailored to supersonic in-land flights, is developed. An optimal control problem combining a sonic boom propagation model, the population distribution of the continental U.S., and a noise measure based on Perceived Level decibels is formulated and solved numerically via GPOPS-II. Two trajectories over the continental U.S. based on this framework are illustrated and aim to provide insights into future supersonic transport design, regulations, as well as air-traffic management.
