description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the benefits and challenges of the tele-speech therapy from the perspective of patients who stutter, and their parents. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 patients and three parents in two rehabilitation centers. Data were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis approach proposed by Graneheim and Lundman. Seven categories were determined: accessible treatment, motivation of comfort in tele-speech therapy, challenges of tele-therapy, satisfaction, virtual competency, lower quality compared to face-to-face therapy, and uncertainty about the effectiveness of tele-speech therapy. The participants had a two-sided perspective regarding tele-speech therapy. Positive experiences included benefitting from more qualified therapists at multiple locations, faster access to treatment, and saving cost and time. Negative experiences and challenges consisted of low-quality of technology infrastructure for rehabilitation including low quality of shared images and videos, ineffective communication, insufficient sympathy, indirect communication, and technology incompetency. Findings showed that the participants were interested in the application of tele-speech therapy, as this method could increase their accessibility and provide the opportunity to choose proper therapists. The determined benefits and challenges can provide the policy-makers with beneficial information to implement tele-speech therapy.

description: Este artigo apresenta um método multicritério para avaliação da satisfação de clientes e uma nova abordagem de apoio à gestão que sustenta as acções a desenvolver para aumentar a satisfação e minimizar a perda de clientes em risco de abandono. São utilizados questionários estruturados de uma forma hierárquica para recolher informação sobre o nível de satisfação dos clientes com o serviço em avaliação. O método emprega uma abordagem de agregação-desagregação de preferências dos clientes e utiliza a regressão ordinal com restrições devido à natureza das escalas de satisfação utilizadas. Possibilita a agregação das preferências individuais dos clientes numa função de satisfação colectiva e a desagregação da função de satisfação global num conjunto de funções de satisfação que descrevem os vários critérios e subcritérios em avaliação. As funções de satisfação e os pesos obtidos permitem produzir informação para a gestão de forma a apoiar as suas decisões no processo de melhoria contínua dos produtos e processos. O caso para estudo e teste do método foi desenvolvido em cooperação com o Grupo Pestana e incidiu sobre algumas unidades da cadeia Pestana Hotels & Resorts na região do Algarve.

description: This article investigates the correlation structure of the global crude oil market using the daily returns of 71 oil price time series across the world from 1992 to 2012. We identify from the correlation matrix six clusters of time series exhibiting evident geographical traits, which supports Weiner's (1991) regionalization hypothesis of the global oil market. We find that intra-cluster pairs of time series are highly correlated while inter-cluster pairs have relatively low correlations. Principal component analysis shows that most eigenvalues of the correlation matrix locate outside the prediction of the random matrix theory and these deviating eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenvectors contain rich economic information. Specifically, the largest eigenvalue reflects a collective effect of the global market, other four largest eigenvalues possess a partitioning function to distinguish the six clusters, and the smallest eigenvalues highlight the pairs of time series with the largest correlation coefficients. We construct an index of the global oil market based on the eigenfortfolio of the largest eigenvalue, which evolves similarly as the average price time series and has better performance than the benchmark $1/N$ portfolio under the buy-and-hold strategy.

description: Game-Based Student Response Systems (GBSRS) are tools for improving learning through student interaction and participation. Promoting a good user experience in GBSRS is essential in adopting such tools in the educational context. In this sense, it is necessary to design GBSRS by thinking about how to provide the best experience for users. This paper presents an investigation of UX problems in two GBSRS tools, Kahoot! and Quizizz, to verify whether we could avoid UX problems even in the initial stages of product design. For that, we performed a repid review, and from the selected articles, we cataloged and classified general problems in the tools from the perspective of the UX elements defined by Garret's framework. Our results showed that the problems identified in our analysis could be avoided if we applied UX principles in the tool design phase.

description: Wireless technology products and services play a significant role in our everyday lives. Great advances in design features have improved the accessibility and utility of these technologies for older adults and people with disabilities. Yet, there is still opportunity to ensure upcoming designers of wireless technologies consider how their design helps or hinders their product’s potential users. In this paper, we describe the evolution of a series of half-day participatory design workshops intended to expose student designers to real-world problem-solving alongside experts in the fields of aging and disability services and end users. Workshop attendees rapidly worked through an inclusive design process identifying and defining problems, considering the design requirements to meet the needs of various individuals, and finally designing and refining concepts to solve those problems. We describe the design of the workshops, iterations intended to improve on the experience, and our recommendations for conducting similar workshops

The Formation of Uranus & Neptune: Challenges and Implications For Intermediate-Mass Exoplanets

description: In this paper we investigate the formation of Uranus and Neptune, according to the core-nucleated accretion model, considering formation locations ranging from 12 to 30 AU from the Sun, and with various disk solid-surface densities and core accretion rates. It is shown that in order to form Uranus-like and Neptune-like planets in terms of final mass and solid-to-gas ratio, very specific conditions are required. We also show that when recently proposed high solid accretion rates are assumed, along with solid surface densities about 10 times those in the minimum-mass solar nebula, the challenge in forming Uranus and Neptune at large radial distances is no longer the formation timescale, but is rather finding agreement with the final mass and composition of these planets. In fact, these conditions are more likely to lead to gas-giant planets. Scattering of planetesimals by the forming planetary core is found to be an important effect at the larger distances. Our study emphasizes how (even slightly) different conditions in the protoplanetary disk and the birth environment of the planetary embryos can lead to the formation of very different planets in terms of final masses and compositions (solid-to-gas ratios), which naturally explains the large diversity of intermediate-mass exoplanets.

description: We use broadband photometry extending from the rest-frame UV to the near-IR to fit the individual spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 63 bright (L(Ly-alpha) > 10^43 ergs/s) Ly-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) in the redshift range 1.9 < z < 3.6. We find that these LAEs are quite heterogeneous, with stellar masses that span over three orders of magnitude, from 7.5 < log M < 10.5. Moreover, although most LAEs have small amounts of extinction, some high-mass objects have stellar reddenings as large as E(B-V) ~0.4. Interestingly, in dusty objects the optical depths for Ly-alpha and the UV continuum are always similar, indicating that Ly-alpha photons are not undergoing many scatters before escaping their galaxy. In contrast, the ratio of optical depths in low-reddening systems can vary widely, illustrating the diverse nature of the systems. Finally, we show that in the star formation rate (SFR)-log mass diagram, our LAEs fall above the "main-sequence" defined by z ~ 3 continuum selected star-forming galaxies. In this respect, they are similar to sub-mm-selected galaxies, although most LAEs have much lower mass.

description: O presente artigo pretende fazer uma discussão da importância da reflexão filosófica aplicada ao turismo para o avanço da cientificidade na área para em seguida apontar os indicadores científicos do turismo no Brasil. O estudo é eminentemente de cunho teórico amparado em pesquisas de filósofos e em investigações de estudiosos do turismo. Justifica-se o presente trabalho devido ao fato de que os estudos em turismo devem ser considerados em sua totalidade de análise e não somente de forma parcial. Além do mais, abordagens filosóficas nos estudos do fenômeno turístico não têm sido largamente realizadas de uma forma geral. Os resultados atingidos levam a crer que a filosofia merece ser mais aplicada na área e que o estudo científico do turismo no Brasil está avançando de maneira significativa em importância, qualidade e profundidade da reflexão, com indicadores importantes que se referem ao número de publicações de um modo geral, ao número de programas de pós-graduação, de alunos de carreiras de graduação e de eventos científicos existentes.

description: We construct, in locally compact, second countable, amenable groups, sets with large density that fail to have certain combinatorial properties. For the property of being a shift of a set of measurable recurrence we show that this is possible when the group does not have cocompact von Neumann kernel. For the stronger property of being piecewise-syndetic we show that this is always possible. For minimally almost periodic, locally compact, second countable, amenable groups, we prove that any dilation of a positive density set by an open neighborhood of the identity contains a set of measurable recurrence, and that the same result holds, up to a shift, when the von Neumann kernel is cocompact. This leads to a trichotomy for locally compact, second countable, amenable groups based on combinatorial properties of large sets. We also prove, using a two-sided Furstenberg correspondence principle, that any two-sided dilation of a positive density set contains a two-sided finite products set.

description: We present non-linear, convective, BL Her-type hydrodynamic models that show complex variability characteristic for deterministic chaos. The bifurcation diagram reveals a rich structure, with many phenomena detected for the first time in hydrodynamic models of pulsating stars. The phenomena include not only period doubling cascades en route to chaos (detected in earlier studies) but also periodic windows within chaotic band, type-I and type-III intermittent behaviour, interior crisis bifurcation and others. Such phenomena are known in many textbook chaotic systems, from the simplest discrete logistic map, to more complex systems like Lorenz equations. We discuss the physical relevance of our models. Although except of period doubling such phenomena were not detected in any BL Her star, chaotic variability was claimed in several higher luminosity siblings of BL Her stars - RV Tau variables, and also in longer-period, luminous irregular pulsators. Our models may help to understand these poorly studied stars. Particularly interesting are periodic windows which are intrinsic property of chaotic systems and are not necessarily caused by resonances between pulsation modes, as sometimes claimed in the literature.

description: Cities worldwide are experiencing the effects of extreme climate events. Urban floods have emerged as a direct consequence of climate change in cities. Understanding the vulnerability to flooding would help policy actions to reduce the impacts due to flooding. This paper targets Ahmedabad, one of the major cities in India witnessing rapid urbanization and frequently struggling with floods. The study utilizes flood vulnerability indicators, quantifying and establishing a flood vulnerability index for Ahmedabad. The index links social, environmental, infrastructure, economic, and building-level indicators to define flood vulnerability. The relative importance of the indicators is arrived at by using experts' inputs and merged with the indicator to spatially analyze the patterns of vulnerability in the city comprising the four dimensions. The study finding suggests the city's eastern side is most vulnerable to floods. Twenty-four percent of the Ahmedabad population lives in highly vulnerable areas and seventy-four percent in moderately vulnerable areas, while a mere two percent of Ahmedabad's population resides in low-vulnerable areas. Lambha ward is the most vulnerable for the social dimension, while Dani Limda ward is the most vulnerable for the economic dimension. Kadi ward performs poorly in the environmental and infrastructure dimension. Sarkhej emerges as the most vulnerable ward in building conditions. Combining the dimensions, Shahpur is the most vulnerable ward when considering overall flood vulnerability.
GCG: Mining Maximal Complete Graph Patterns from Large Spatial Data

description: Recent research on pattern discovery has progressed from mining frequent patterns and sequences to mining structured patterns, such as trees and graphs. Graphs as general data structure can model complex relations among data with wide applications in web exploration and social networks. However, the process of mining large graph patterns is a challenge due to the existence of large number of subgraphs. In this paper, we aim to mine only frequent complete graph patterns. A graph g in a database is complete if every pair of distinct vertices is connected by a unique edge. Grid Complete Graph (GCG) is a mining algorithm developed to explore interesting pruning techniques to extract maximal complete graphs from large spatial dataset existing in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data. Using a divide and conquer strategy, GCG shows high efficiency especially in the presence of large number of patterns. In this paper, we describe GCG that can mine not only simple co-location spatial patterns but also complex ones. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first algorithm used to exploit the extraction of maximal complete graphs in the process of mining complex co-location patterns in large spatial dataset.

description: A Tese, na interseção da educação, da viagem e do turismo, aborda experiências de aprendizagem, de formação e de educação pelas viagens, a fim de contribuir para a formação do docente e do profissional bem como dos viajantes confrontados a outras culturas e a uma possível (trans)formação deles próprios, por meio de uma abordagem multirreferencial na perspectiva de uma bricolagem metodológica. Neste texto são apresentadas as reflexões de alguns estudiosos da área que ressaltam a relevância das viagens na transformação do sujeito, ressaltando o papel fundamental das viagens nas Investigações, as de caráter científico e as de si próprio. Essas reflexões conduzem, por meio de uma “história de curiosidade”, à percepção da evolução histórica da sistematização e organização das viagens de (re)conhecimento durante os séculos anteriores, especialmente dos séculos XVI ao XIX, que promoveram a constituição da metodologia das ciências sociais como a conhecemos atualmente no século XXI. Além desse caráter científico, as viagens tem um papel considerável, talvez mesmo imprescindível, em aspectos mais sutis e profundos para cada ser humano.O comportamento dos sujeitos, mediante a confrontação com outros sujeitos, povos, culturas e lugares pode ser colocado em questionamento e, assim, contribuir para uma transformação de si, por meio de atitudes refletidas que permitam um comportamento sustentável.

O delineamento da pesquisa foi feito segundo a metodologia descritivo-explicativa. A coleta dos dados foi processada por meio de instrumentos quali-quantitativos destinados à observação direta, ao registo dos depoimentos orais e à pesquisa documental. Os dados obtidos foram organizados, tabulados, analisados e interpretados à luz da técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Verificamos no contexto sócio-histórico-cultural representações sociais que impregnam a mentalidade local no que se refere à construção da ideia do turista como hostis para estabelecer a relação destas representações com a qualidade do acolhimento. Os resultados apontam para uma inadequação afetivo-cognitiva dos sujeitos na sua atividade profissional fruto da sua formação sócio-histórico-cultural e de lacunas na sua Educação Básica e Profissional. Apontamos algumas recomendações e propostas educacionais que conscientizem os sujeitos sobre esses aspectos e que, se implementadas, poderão transformar o paradigma vigente encontrado do turista tido e tratado como hostis devendo passar a ser considerado como hospes.

description: Multivariate count data are defined as the number of items of different categories issued from sampling within a population, which individuals are grouped into categories. The analysis of multivariate count data is a recurrent and crucial issue in numerous modelling problems, particularly in the fields of biology and ecology (where the data can represent, for example, children counts associated with multitype branching processes), sociology and econometrics. We focus on I) Identifying categories that appear simultaneously, or on the contrary that are mutually exclusive. This is achieved by identifying conditional independence relationships between the variables; II)Building parsimonious parametric models consistent with these relationships; III) Characterising and testing the effects of covariates on the joint distribution of the counts. To achieve these goals, we propose an approach based on graphical probabilistic models, and more specifically partially directed acyclic graphs.
title: Taxonomy, evolutionary history, and ecological dominance of Themeda and Heteropogon
Creators: name: Arthan, Watchara
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2025

description: Heteropogon and Themeda grasses are common and significant components of the C4 savannas which have recently gained more attention for conservation and biodiversity research. The two genera have been the subject of ecological research due to their widespread and dominant species H. contortus and T. themeda. Like many tropical plant lineages, however, in-depth knowledge necessary for the management of these ecosystems is still lacking. This thesis focuses on the diversity of Heteropogon and Themeda in respect to evolution, ecology, and systematics. In this thesis, phylogenetic analyses indicated that the evolutionary history of Heteropogon and Themeda is being driven by complex evolutionary processes and their origin is dated back to the Miocene grassland expansion. I interpreted those discordant phylogenetic placements between plastid and nuclear trees as underlying polyploidization or hybridization within the groups. Dating analyses indicated that most species originated in the Miocene grassland expansion. Widespread species, H. contortus and T. triandra did not originate until the Late Miocene and quickly spread throughout the Tropics in the Pleistocene. Climatic niche characteristics and geographic distributions of Heteropogon and Themeda shed light on macroecological patterns, adaptation by functional traits, and the evolution of climatic niche and functional traits. I found that Heteropogon and Themeda species are separated into savanna and wetland groups. This is supported by differences in precipitation regimes of the two habitats and functional traits (e.g., plant height, leaf area, and awns). In an evolutionary context, biomes were shifted from savannas to wetlands, and niche divergence occurred. Functional traits changed by habitat preferences and show lability in the lineage. Integration of morphology and new ecological and phylogenetic evidence derived from this thesis were used in new generic and species reclassifications of Heteropogon and Themeda. I conclude that the generic description of Heteropogon should be narrowed, and I accept three species, while that of Themeda expanded to accept 26 Themeda species and 2 varieties. Phylogenetic relationships determine diagnostic morphological characters in generic and species delimitations. This new systematics of Heteropogon and Themeda demonstrates how to apply various biological data in taxonomic revision, and to summarize biodiversity information of Heteropogon and Themeda.

description: A influência da satisfação, qualidade percebida e imagem na fidelização parecem constituir consensona literatura como fontes na fundamentação teórica para descrever as relações causais destes constructos e das suasdimensões para a formulação de um modelo conceptual.Este artigo tem como objectivo principal apresentar um modelo cognitivo integrado, para a compreensão da fidelizaçãoao destino de viagem, através da análise das evidências teóricas sobre as relações causais estabelecidas entre preditorese mediadores da satisfação global, imagem e da fidelização no destino turistico. Para o efeito, elaborou-se uma revisãoexaustiva da literatura sobre os vários constructos relacionados com a problemática, cujos contributos sustentaram onosso modelo conceptual. A elaboração do nosso modelo integra e expande o modelo de fidelização ao destino de Chie Qu (2008) e o modelo de satisfação de Huang e Chiu (2006). Com base nos aspectos comuns destes dois modelos,propomos integrar, num modelo global de análise, os mecanismos que podem conduzir à satisfação e à fidelização dedestinos turísticos, procurando, assim, formular em que medida os constructos cognitivos e afectivos contribuem de formacomplementar na predição e mediação da fidelização.

description: Recent studies have shown that runaway thermonuclear burning of material accreted onto neutron stars, i.e. Type I X-ray bursts, may affect the accretion disk. We investigate this by performing a detailed time-resolved spectral analysis of the superburst from 4U 1636-536 observed in 2001 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. Superbursts are attributed to the thermonuclear burning of carbon, and are approximately 1000 times more energetic than the regular short Type I bursts. This allows us to study detailed spectra for over 11 ks, compared to at most 100 s for regular bursts. A feature is present in the superburst spectra around 6.4 keV that is well fit with an emission line and an absorption edge, suggestive of reflection of the superburst off the accretion disk. The line and edge parameters evolve over time: the edge energy decreases from 9.4 keV at the peak to 8.1 keV in the tail, and both features become weaker in the tail. This is only the second superburst for which this has been detected, and shows that this behavior is present even without strong radius expansion. Furthermore, we find the persistent flux to almost double during the superburst, and return to the pre-superburst level in the tail. The combination of reflection features and increased persistent emission indicates that the superburst had a strong impact on the inner accretion disk, and it emphasizes that X-ray bursts provide a unique probe of accretion physics.

Publisher: name: Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento
Year: 2010

description: O turismo caracteriza-se por ser um sector que se tem destacado, como uma das actividades com maior potencial de expansão a nível mundial e como um impulsionador de crescimento económico. E se a nível nacional o interesse do turismo é significativo, a nível local e regional este sector apresenta-se como um instrumento fundamental no desenvolvimento do território, sendo um meio para evitar a desertificação e a estagnação económica das regiões, estimulando as potencialidades das mais deprimidas. Num sector de grande competitividade como o do turismo, as empresas devem implementar alianças e outras formas de cooperação de forma a desenvolverem sinergias e alcançarem vantagens competitivas. Nesse sentido, as parcerias público-privadas desempenham um papel importante no desenvolvimento regional. O objectivo deste trabalho é desenvolver um quadro teórico de forma a combinar diferentes conceitos e elementos para explicar e compreender o fenómeno das parcerias público-privadas no turismo. Será ainda proposto um modelo conceptual do papel das parcerias público-privadas de turismo no sentido de contribuir para o sucesso do desenvolvimento regional.

description: In this paper we will demonstrate that like the existence of a minimum measurable length, the existence of a maximum measurable momentum, also influence all quantum mechanical systems. Beyond the simple one dimensional case, the existence of a maximum momentum will induce non-local corrections to the first quantized Hamiltonian. However, these non-local corrections can be effectively treated as local corrections by using the theory of harmonic extensions of functions. We will also analyses the second quantization of this deformed first quantized theory. Finally, we will analyses the gauge symmetry corresponding to this deformed theory.

description: The project focuses on providing geospatial solutions to alleviate water stress and urban flooding issues in Rajkot. Using satellite imagery and different water-related utility datasets, firstly the understanding of the present scenario has been carried out. Later, green infrastructure-based interventions are proposed using geospatial techniques to improve the existing stormwater infrastructure of the city. As the broader theme of the study is "GIS for Smart Cities", the study provides intelligent solutions for the local authorities to develop a better framework for their functioning.
A Grammar of Kelenga (Hainyaxo), Bozo language of Mali
Creators: name: Heath, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Bozo, Mande, Kelenga, Mali

description: Reference grammar in pdf format including texts. Also uploaded is the Kelenga lexicon in one xlsx file (with five worksheets) and in five csv files (one for each worksheet). The format of the lexicon is described in an appendix at the end of the grammar. These materials and supporting audio files will also be archived online at Deep Blue Repositories, University of Michigan Libraries. Like most other Bozo groups, Kelenga people were traditionally fishers. Similar materials have been published here for the Cliffs Jenaama and Djenne Jenaama-Sorogaama languages, also of the Bozo language family, which is part of the large Mande superfamily. Fieldwork for a similar collection on Tigemaxo has begun (early 2023). The Bozo project is funded by the (US) National Science Foundartion, Documenting Endangered Languages program.
Electron-impact excitation of Fe$^{2+}$: a comparison of intermediate coupling frame transformation, Breit-Pauli and Dirac R-matrix calculations

description: Modeling the spectral emission of low-charge iron group ions enables the diagnostic determination of the local physical conditions of many cool plasma environments such as those found in H II regions, planetary nebulae, active galactic nuclei etc. Electron-impact excitation drives the population of the emitting levels and, hence, their emissivities. By carrying-out Breit-Pauli and intermediate coupling frame transformation (ICFT) R-matrix calculations for the electron-impact excitation of Fe$^{2+}$ which both use the exact same atomic structure and the same close-coupling expansion, we demonstrate the validity of the application of the powerful ICFT method to low-charge iron group ions. This is in contradiction to the finding of Bautista et al. [Ap.J.Lett, 718, L189, (2010)] who carried-out ICFT and Dirac R-matrix calculations for the same ion. We discuss possible reasons.
