description: LncRNA SNHG15 has been recognized as the main factor in the progression of various cancer types. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well clarified. This research aimed to explore the diagnostic potential of SNHG15 in gastric cancer (GC) patients and also the effects of SNHG15-miRNA-mRNA network in GC pathobiology. The expression level of SNHG15 in GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues (ANTs) was evaluated by qRT-PCR and also considered in relation to clinicopathologic factors. The ROC curve was explored to consider the specificity and sensitivity of SNHG15. Gene ontology functional annotation and KEGG pathway analysis were performed in order to predict the effects of SNHG15-miRNA-mRNA network in GC pathobiology. SNHG15 was overexpressed in GC tissues compared to ANTs (fold change= 3.87 and P-value = 0.0022). The SNHG15 expression level was not significantly associated with clinicopathologic factors. ROC curve indicated the specificity of 63.51 and sensitivity of 79.73 and the AUC of 0.744 (P-value < 0.0001). Further gene network analysis revealed that SNHG15 interacts with has-miR-613, has-miR-542-3p, and has-miR-1236-3p, and may be involved in the GC pathobiology by affecting the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance, HIF-1 signaling pathway, and VEGF signaling pathway. It can be concluded that SNHG15 may be a diagnostic factor in GC and may contribute in a variety of cancer-related signaling pathways.

description: This paper introduces a theoretical framework that links quantum mechanics and higher-dimensional theories by proposing that observation plays an active role in collapsing higher-dimensional phenomena into perceivable three-dimensional reality. The model introduces a new constant that governs the rate of dimensional collapse based on an observer's dimensional capacity. By addressing issues such as the measurement problem and cosmological flatness, the model offers insights into unresolved aspects of quantum mechanics and string theory. It proposes potential avenues for empirical validation through quantum simulations and high-energy physics experiments.

description: Feminism has been a polarizing topic for many years and decades, challenging the norms of how women should follow in accord, breaking the barrier for people who are marginalized due to their gender and sexuality. At the same time, music artists have been creating subtle messages for listeners and audiences to catch onto their hidden advocacies that can help either empower said listeners and audiences or be taken aback by their music or performances. This is no different with K-pop idols, here some write their songs and insert themes that either divide audiences or unite them due to messages inserted, like environmental issues, feminism, and mental health. One of the well-known K-pop girl groups that have been outspoken in advocacy for feminism has been MAMAMOO. Based on the findings, MAMAMOO does have an influence on how feminism has been perceived by fans, creating a platform that can help avid and other casual listeners to identify female empowerment and be influenced by the girl group. However, it should be noted that not all feminist issues were tackle by MAMAMOO, leaving room for more before fully calling them a feminist girl group.

description: The field of couple and family therapy has a foundation in systems theory and recognizes the intricate dynamics of relationships. Therapists often navigate complex webs of connection, aiming to enhance communication, foster healthy interaction patterns, and cultivate emotional well-being to strengthen relational bonds. This thesis focuses on the integration of routine outcome monitoring (ROM) within Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and aims to shed light on its role in achieving therapeutic goals. ROM tools offer insights into the therapeutic process, facilitating tailored interventions to meet clients' needs. The findings suggest that integrating ROM into EFT benefits therapists and clients, enhancing our understanding of the therapeutic process and optimizing outcomes. As therapy progresses, clients experience transformative growth and healing, underscoring the profound impact of therapy. Reflecting on personal and clinical experiences, this study highlights the resilience and courage of individuals engaged in the therapeutic journey.

Selous’s Spiny Mouse
Acomys selousi
French: Acomys de Selous / German: Selous-Stachelmaus / Spanish: Raton espinoso de Selous
Taxonomy. Acomys selousi de Winton, 1897,
Essex Farm (Essexvale), Bulawayo district, Zimbabwe.
Acomys selousi was initially considered part of the A. spinosissimus species group by some authors, and others considered it a subspecies of A. cahirinus. In a taxonomic revision of the southern African members of Acomys, N. J. Dippenaar and I. L. Rautenbach in 1986 found A. selousi morphologically and morphometrically close
to the A. spinosissimus group and far from A. cahirinus. P. O. Barome and colleagues in 2001 suggested that A.selous: and A. spinosissimus could represent distinct species based on molecular grounds. W. N. Verheyen and colleagues in 2011 found A. selousi and A. transvaalensis to be synonyms but distinct from A. spinosissimus sensu stricto. Monotypic.
Distribution. E Botswana, S Zimbabwe, and N South Africa; N limits not clarified.
Descriptive notes. Head—body 78-94 mm, tail 72-96 mm, ear 13-15 mm, hindfoot 14-16-5 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. Upperparts of Selous’s
Spiny Mouse are rufous brown or coffee-colored; entire underside is pure white. It is unique in having a giant X-chromosome (its length represents 20% of the length of the haploid chromosome set) and high polymorphism: 2n = 59-62, FNa = 68-75.
Habitat. Isolated rock ridges (“kopjes”).
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. No information.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Not yet assessed on The IUCN Red List. Selous’s Spiny Mouse has never been evaluated because it was always considered a synonym of A. spinosisstmus. Due to its large distribution and high number of national parks and reserves in its distribution, Selous’s Spiny Mouse could probably be classified as Least Concern.

Cape Spiny Mouse
Acomys subspinosus
French: Acomys du Cap / German: Kap-Stachelmaus / Spanish: Raton espinoso de El Cabo
Taxonomy. Mus subspinosus Waterhouse, 1838,
“Cape of Good Hope,” South Africa.
According to F. Petter and J. Roche in 1981, A. subspinousis a distinct species, and it does not include A. wilson: and A. low sae. In a morphometric assessment, N. J. Dippenaar and I. L.. Rautenbach in 1986 confirmed its distinction from A. spinosissimus. A. subspinous is characterized by a set of unique dental and skull characteristics that allowed C. Denys and colleagues in 1994 to propose thatit belonged in the new subgenus Preacomys. Monotypic.
Distribution. Endemic to the SW Western Cape Province, South Africa.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 73-102 mm, tail 65-89 mm, ear 9-15 mm, hindfoot 12-19 mm: weight 13-26 g. The Cape Spiny Mouse is rather small, with pale white belly and dark brown-gray dorsum. Spiny hairs are less abundant than on other species of Acomys, henceits specific epithet. Tail is ¢.95% of head-body length. Three pairs of mammae are present.
Habitat. Rocky mountainous habitats, rocky slopes, and ledges in South West Africa Cape Biozone (fynbos biome) up to elevations of 1000 m.
Food and Feeding. Cape Spiny Mice eat seeds almost exclusively, constituting 91-94% of their diets. Their scats contain pollen of species of Proteaceae (endemic fynbos plants), suggesting a role in pollination and regeneration.
Breeding. Reproduction occurs continuously throughout the year, with peaks following increases in resource availability. Gestation is more than 27 days, and mean litter size 1s three altricial young.
Activity patterns. The Cape Spiny Mouse is nocturnal and is adapted to survive cold temperatures and winter rainfall in the Cape region of South Africa.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Cape Spiny Mice can be locally abundant, reaching 13-7 ind/ha.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Nevertheless, impacts of alien species and human pressures on the Cape Spiny Mouse are unknown.

(Fig. 1)
Types. Holotype worker from Billabong, 26°49'S 114°37'E, Western Australia, 12 August 1984, B.B. Lowery, sand, scrub (ANIC, ANIC32-066614); 7 paratype workers, same data as holotype except ANIC32- 061315 (5 in ANIC, 2 in MCZC).
Diagnosis. Pale markings present near lower margin of eye; sculpturing on head consisting of large, shallow to moderately deep fovea; pronotum and propodeum lacking spines; posterior face of the propodeum strongly concave, separated from the dorsal face by a distinct carina; dorsum of propodeum weakly convex and elongate (longer than posterior); pubescence on first gastral tergite sparse, the individual hairs generally not overlapping, or hairs absent.
This species is easily confused with D. semiorbis. It can be distinguished from this species by the presence of erect or suberect hairs on the tibiae (Fig. 1); and the more distinctive carina protruding upwards separating the dorsal and posterior face of the propodeum (Fig. 1 and Fig. 25).
Worker description. See Fig. 1. The available material shows little variation from the imaged specimen.
Measurements (n=5). CI 74–79; EI 41–43; EL 0.30–0.34; HL 0.92–1.05; HW 0.72–0.78; ML 1.24–1.53; MTL 0.69–0.83; PronI 68.82–78.05; PronW 0.51–0.61; SI 112–128; SL 0.82–0.99.
Material examined. Northern Territory: 60km N Alice Springs (Zakharov) (ANIC); South Australia: 51km W Emu Junction (Forrest,J.A.) (ANIC); Sevenhill (Lowery,B.B.) (ANIC); Western Australia: 0.6km W of Neergabby (Heterick,B.E.) (JDMC); Caiguna RH (Heterick,B.E.) (JDMC); Henderson (Heterick,B.E.) (JDMC); Int. Holland Tr./Norseman Rd. (Heterick,B.E.) (JDMC); The Granites (Mt. Magnet) (Heterick,B.E.) (JDMC).
Comments. Although rarely encountered, D. albamaculus is widespread across semi-arid southern Australia, occurring from the Western Australian coast to eastern South Australia. It has been found in open scrub and Acacia woodland habitats.

description: Any business hoping to succeed must first expand internationally and must also tradeoff between the benefits and potential pitfalls that may be associated with such strategies. Consequently, this research did a comparative analysis on the expansion plan of Tarkett group to invest in either Nigeria or Senegal. Accordingly, the research began by providing an overview of the Tarkett Group, including its history, products and services, and current operations using the archival retrieval approach. The study anchored on the Dunning's Oli theory. This case study undertake a comprehensive analysis of two potential markets (Nigeria and Senegal) by evaluating cultural, administrative, geographic, and economic factors to identify the most favourable market for expansion. Data with regards to the gross domestic products of both target countries were sourced from World Bank Data Base, 2022 from 2007 to 2021. Data for three (3) macroeconomic variables (inflation rate, exchange rate and unemployment rates) were also sourced from the World Bank data base, 2022. The data was interpreted using descriptive statistics and trend analysis. The research confirmed that, the target company's entry mode is built on the Dunning's Oli theory and is willing to undertake foreign direct investment to overcome barriers encountered in Australia. Also, Tarkett Company's international business expansion plan is more likely to succeed in Nigeria than in Senegal, despite the challenges posed by Nigeria's macroeconomic turbulence, currency depreciation, and low ease of doing business. Hence, the study submits that, for Tarkett to succeed in Nigeria, the company should opt for foreign direct investment (FDI) rather than exporting its products

Prevention

description: Global financial crime activity is driving demand for machine learning solutions in fraud prevention. However, prevention systems are commonly serviced to financial institutions in isolation, and few provisions exist for data sharing due to fears of unintentional leaks and adversarial attacks. Collaborative learning advances in finance are rare, and it is hard to find real-world insights derived from privacy-preserving data processing systems. In this paper, we present a collaborative deep learning framework for fraud prevention, designed from a privacy standpoint, and awarded at the recent PETs Prize Challenges. We leverage latent embedded representations of varied-length transaction sequences, along with local differential privacy, in order to construct a data release mechanism which can securely inform externally hosted fraud and anomaly detection models. We assess our contribution on two distributed data sets donated by large payment networks, and demonstrate robustness to popular inference-time attacks, along with utility-privacy trade-offs analogous to published work in alternative application domains.
