description: Taurotettix (Callistrophia) elegans elegans (Melichar, 1900)
Figs. 2, 8–11, 28–33, 49–53, 63–69
Thamnotettix nigrovittatus Matsumura, 1915 (synonymy by Anufriev & Emelyanov, 1968)
Description. Bright yellowish green. Forewings with dark brown longitudinal stripes widening distally (Figs. 8– 11).
Aedeagus C-shaped laterally, more strongly curved than in T. (C.) modesta, with lobe-like widened apex (Figs. 28, 30, 32). Style with expanded rounded apophysis (Figs. 29, 31, 33).
Body length (including tegmina): ♂, 5.3–5.8 mm; ♀, 6.1–6.3 mm.
Hosts. Collected from undetermined species of Poaceae; both in the steppe and in the forest zones, usually in meadows on riverbanks.
Calling signal. Signals of males from the following localities were investigated.
1. Transbaikalia, Southern Buryatia, saline meadow on the bank of Temnik River, 4 km North of Selenduma Town, 13. VII. 2007, signals of one male recorded at 23–24 oC.
2. The Russian Far East, Primorsky Krai, Pogranichny Region, environs of Barabash-Levada Village, meadow on the bank of Komissarovka River, 19. VII. 2002, signals of two males recorded at 26–27 oC.
Calling signal has a duration from 5–6 up to 25–30 s and is a succession of syllables with rather variable temporal pattern (Figs. 49–53). Typically, a syllable consists of a high-amplitude pulse followed by low-amplitude oscillations and a high-amplitude end part with an abrupt trailing edge (Figs. 63–65). Occasionally, a high-amplitude initial pulse and low-amplitude oscillations are almost entirely absent (Fig. 66). Also, sometimes some syllables have elongated initial parts (Figs. 67–68) or additional high-amplitude pulses in the middle part (Fig. 69). Repetition period of typical (not elongated) syllables averages 470–600 ms in our recordings.
Distribution. Widespread throughout Southern Siberia from Altai Mts. to Eastern Transbaikalia, in the Russian Far East, Mongolia, Northern China, Korea, and Japan. Records from localities west of Altai Mts. need verification.
Remarks. The species was described from Northern Mongolia (Melichar, 1900). Based on illustrations provided by Emeljanov (1964), records of this species and subspecies from the southeastern part of European Russia correspond to C. modesta (see above).

Algorithms for Efficient, Resilient, and Economic Operation of Pre-Emptively Reinforced Reconfigurable Distribution Substations
Creators: name: Brown, Robert Adam
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2024

description: Stochasticity of demand profiles at electricity distribution substations is increasing due to the proliferation of low carbon technologies; in particular mobile, bi-directional, or intermittent loads such as electric vehicles and heat pumps. The decarbonisation of heat and transport will cause a long-term increase in overall connected load, making substation reinforcement necessary, whilst planning of upgrade locations and capacities remains challenging. This project will investigate pre-emptive substation reinforcement with algorithmic topology control, to utilise the additional installed substation capacity only when required. 
Distribution Substation Dynamic Reconfiguration (DSDR) proposes the installation of additional transformers in parallel with the existing transformer in each substation, removing the need to scrap and replace these. Telematics-controlled switches are installed on the high- and low-voltage side of each transformer in the substation, with local agent algorithms deployed to control in real-time when each parallel transformer is brought into or taken out of service. Substation reconfiguration is thus controlled to optimise for maximum operating efficiency. The threshold algorithm most recently trialled in medium voltage parallel transformer substations is implemented as a baseline, and a novel model-based reconfiguration algorithm is proposed, implemented, and evaluated in software and hardware. 
This work led to a 1.34% improvement in algorithm performance on substation efficiency, over a yearly demand profile including residential and new electric vehicle load for the year 2050, equivalent to a potential saving of 2.68 TWh annually if deployed UK-wide. This approach unlocks several opportunities to operate existing substations in the smart, flexible, resilient, and efficient manner that will be required to reach the net zero target by 2050.

The BypassDiode –A Weaknessin today's PV Systems

Year: 2020

description: Remarkable progress has been made in the technology of photovoltaic power systems over the past 40 years. Even though the vast majority of all solar modules are still based on crystalline silicon cells, the efficiency of these modules has more than doubled, which has a considerable impact on the electrical parameters of the solar generator. This is particularly noticeable in the operating current. Because of the higher efficiency, but especially due to the increase in cell area, this current has more than tripled in the last four decades. The string current of modern PV arrays is so high, that with partial shading, a danger exists that the bypass diodes may overheat and be damaged or destroyed. This can lead to consequential damage and in the worst case lead toa fire. This contribution focuses on the problems of today's bypass diode concepts. It also discusses current and possible future developments to solve these problems.

description: Aims. To investigate the feasibility of a survey measuring patient and visitor violence after translation and modification, namely the Survey of Violence Experienced by Staff (German version revised) and to validate the shortened Perception of Aggression Scale (POAS-S) and the Perception of Importance of Intervention Skills Scale (POIS) after adaptation for use in a general hospital setting. Background. The use of different approaches and research instruments for investigating patient and visitor violence negatively influences the comparability of studies. Typically, general hospitals use self-administered surveys. However, support for these instruments’ validity is insufficient. Methods. Between November 2006–January 2007, 291 nurses working in general hospitals in the German-speaking region of Switzerland completed the SOVES-G-R, the POAS-S and the POIS (response rate = 71%). Results. The participants’ responses demonstrated a need for modifications to enhance the feasibility of the SOVES-G-R in two categories, namely experiences with patient and visitor violence in ‘the past 12 months’ and in ‘the past working week’. The POAS-S revealed the same factor solution as in earlier studies, with two factors explaining 38Æ0% of variance. In the POIS, two factors were distinguished: (1) structured interventions and evaluation and (2) the importance of preventive measures. Conclusions. The SOVES-G-R, the POAS-S and the POIS are adequate for investigating factors influencing the occurrence of patient and visitor violence in general hospitals. Given the changes in the SOVES-G-R and the moderate size of our sample, further testing with a larger sample is recommended. Relevance to clinical practice. The instruments help determine which clinical settings have a greater risk of patient and visitor violence and the specific factors that influence this risk. This can facilitate the implementation of situation-specific preventive measures against patient and visitor violence in general hospitals.
The determinants of total factor productivity in Morocco: Econometric modeling with the ARDL model
Creators: name: Omar EL MOUFI

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The objective of this article is to examine the relationship between total factor productivity (TFP) growth, financial development, foreign direct investment (FDI) and human capital in Morocco. To achieve this, an econometric approach was adopted, based on the estimation of an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model to capture both short- and long-term effects on TFP. The results indicate that, in the short term, financial development negatively impacts productivity, likely due to institutional inefficiencies or resource disparities in the financial sector. FDI shows mixed effects, while human capital does not significantly impact productivity immediately. In the long term, financial development and human capital remain insignificant for TFP, whereas FDI displays a negative impact, possibly due to a focus on low-productivity sectors. These findings highlight the structural obstacles in Morocco's economy and the need for a strategic focus to enhance productivity sustainably.

description: Despite having many useful capabilities, more recently smart home assistants (SHAs) have also raised negative feelings and doubts which may cause resistance among potential users. However, current research has neither examined SHAs from the perspective of resistance nor its specific drivers (inhibitors). We address this gap and adopt a mixed-method research design with two studies that build on each other. Study 1 (N=10) elicits the belief structures underlying resistance to SHAs. Study 2 (N=276) builds on these findings and delves deeper into the understanding of one novel identified inhibitor, namely “perceived intrusion”, by taking initial strides towards creating a measurement instrument. Our results contribute to the previously under-researched “dark side” of smart consumer IT by examining the phenomenon of resistance. This way, we hope to inspire future research to expand on our findings, as well as apply our measurement instrument in other smart product contexts.

description: Background: The aims of the present study were to investigate the impact of three whole blood donations on endurance capacity and hematological parameters and to determine the duration to fully recover initial endurance capacity and hematological parameters after each donation. Methods: Twenty-four moderately trained subjects were randomly divided in a donation (n = 16) and a placebo (n = 8) group. Each of the three donations was interspersed by 3 months, and the recovery of endurance capacity and hematological parameters was monitored up to 1 month after donation. Results: Maximal power output, peak oxygen consumption, and hemoglobin mass decreased (p < 0.001) up to 4 weeks after a single blood donation with a maximal decrease of 4, 10, and 7%, respectively. Hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, ferritin, and red blood cell count (RBC), all key hematological parameters for oxygen transport, were lowered by a single donation (p < 0.001) and cumulatively further affected by the repetition of the donations (p < 0.001). The maximal decrease after a blood donation was 11% for hematocrit, 10% for hemoglobin concentration, 50% for ferritin, and 12% for RBC (p < 0.001). Maximal power output cumulatively increased in the placebo group as the maximal exercise tests were repeated (p < 0.001), which indicates positive training adaptations. This increase in maximal power output over the whole duration of the study was not observed in the donation group. Conclusions: Maximal, but not submaximal, endurance capacity was altered after blood donation in moderately trained people and the expected increase in capacity after multiple maximal exercise tests was not present when repeating whole blood donations.

description: The aim of local physical activity and sport networks in Switzerland is to improve co-operation between different players in physical activity and sport promotion in a community, town or region. Nendaz has introduced such a network in 2004. Two postal questionnaire surveys were carried out in 2005 and 2007. The local network in Nendaz reached a high level of awareness, its utilisation in the population and satisfaction were generally good. Physical activity behaviour was high in both years compared to the general French-speaking population in Switzerland. In order to judge the effects of such an intervention on the population level, baseline surveys should be carried out before the start of the project and control communities should be studied simultaneously.

description: The mobile payment platform is gaining popularity in developing countries due to its accessibility, ease of use, and ability to overcome the limitations of traditional banking infrastructure. However, little attention has been given towards the adoption of this platform by the bottom of the pyramid (BoP) demographic despite its high popularity. Previous research has mainly focused on adoption rates and overlooked the issue of resistance. This study extends the Innovation Resistance Theory (IRT) to address this gap and provide a better understanding of BoP users’ behavioral intentions (BI) toward adopting mobile payments. The study collected 210 responses from individuals in the BoP segment with limited experience in mobile payments through an online questionnaire survey. The data was analysed using PLS-SEM to measure and validate the findings. The study revealed significant and insignificant relationships between extended IRT barriers and BI. The study identified five significant barriers namely, usage, value, risk, information, and privacy, while the traditional and image barriers were insignificant. These findings provide valuable insights for stakeholders seeking to encourage the use of mobile payment services among Indonesia’s BoP population.

Infrastructure and Road Governance in Qatar: A Policy Perspective
Creators: name: Al Fehani, Abdulaziz
Publisher: name: Manara - Qatar Research Repository
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 50
subject: Philosophy and religious studies

description: Qatar has been undertaking large-scale infrastructure initiatives, looking forward to developing its infrastructure to enhance the momentum of it economic growth. An enhanced economic performance, geopolitical influence, and the continuous pressure from neighboring countries are leading Qatar to accomplish megaprojects such as the Hamad Airport and the Hamad Port, to create new navigating and trading paths, which would increase Qatar’s independence from neighboring countries.This research is focused on roads and infrastructure governance systems. The thesis is based on a detailed study of the governance of roads as public goods in the state of Qatar. The research is based on a comparative analysis of the governance of such assets compared to other goods in the country. It discusses the infrastructural governance in Qatar, while comparing it with Turkey. For Qatar, it is essential to set in place policies to ensure the sustainability of the infrastructure in the country. The introduction of PPPs would ensure the feasibility of the project in the business aspect. The State of Qatar should have a clear strategy and plan for the development and improvement of infrastructural projects to avoid any miscalculation and unneeded projects. Future projects should be organized according to the demand and supply chain, where the private sector would not be interested to invest unless there is a demand in the market.
Religious Devotion to Pop Culture: Fandom as a New Form of Religiosity in a World of Changing Values

description: We live in a constantly changing world where new social forms of belonging are rapidly evolving. Some of these forms resemble what we term “religion” to an alarming degree, but they are rarely studied as such. This paper will discuss one of such forms: fandom. This is the phenomenon of Internet communities gathering in online spaces because of their devotion to strands of popular culture: celebrities, sports, television shows, movies, novels etc. The study will show, through extensive fieldwork and analysis, that fandom resembles religion in its form, its community aspect, and its emotive experiences. It is therefore important for the phenomenon to be taken seriously in the field of comparative religion, because it is serving the human needs that religion had once served.

description: Eine „gute“ Unternehmenskultur ist ein wichtiger Erfolgsfaktor für Unternehmen. Im Rahmen der digitalen Transformation wird zunehmend Gamification zur Kulturbeeinflussung eingesetzt. Dabei werden spieletypische Elemente genutzt, um für Mitarbeitende für bestimmte Handlungen Anreize zu schaffen. Im Rahmen einer Fallstudie wurden digital umgesetzte Gamification-Maßnahmen eines Unternehmens bezüglich ihrer Wahrnehmung und Beeinflussung der Arbeitsmotivation analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Gamification kulturwirksam zur Unternehmensführung genutzt werden kann. Die digitale Umsetzung diente als einheitlicher Impulsgeber und sorgte für Transparenz als Basis für Vertrauen. So konnte die angestrebte „Kultur auf Augenhöhe“ entwickelt werden, geprägt durch Respekt, Toleranz und Mitbestimmung. Der Erfolg der Gamification-Maßnahmen lässt sich vor allem durch die positive Wirkung auf die intrinsische Motivation sowie das gestärkte Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl der Mitarbeitenden erklären.

Type species: Oniscus oceanicus Linnaeus, 1767, subsequent designation by Latreille (1810).
Diagnosis: Body oval or oblong oval, moderately convex dorsally. Head frontal margin rounded, eyes large and convex. Pereonites relatively broad, posterodistal corners acutely projected in posterior segments. Pleonites more or less narrower than pereonite 7, posterodistal corners produced. Pleotelson broader than long, distal margin triangular or arcuate. Antennula very small, with 3 articles; terminal article rudimentary. Antenna strong and elongated, exceeding third pereonite. Mandibles with incisor, lacinia mobilis different in left and right, setal row and molar, lacking palp. Maxillipedal palp 5-articulated. Pereopods ambulatory, with many robust setae, pereopods 1–6 gradually increasing in length posteriorly; basis of pereopods wide, dactylus distinctly bi-unguiculate. Penile papillae paired, situated on distal end of male pereonite 7 sternum. Pleopods flattened, each with exopod and endopod; male endopod of pleopod 2 biarticulated, tip of article 2 modified to form appendix masculina. Uropod elongated, peduncle not produced mediodistally; both rami narrow, styliform, subequal in length.
Remarks: The above diagnosis cannot be described in more detail, because morphological information is insufficient in most of the Ligia species. Three of four genera established by Verhoeff (1926) were reduced to subgenera of Ligia by Van Name (1936), and two other subgenera, Pogonoligia Jackson, 1927 and Hirtiligia Van Name, 1936, were also proposed (Jackson 1927; Van Name 1936). However, belonging to the subgenera has not been discussed in all the Ligia species (Andersson 1960); therefore, these subgeneric names should not be applied to the genus.

description: Tree species typical of the alpine forests can be valued not only as sources of timber, but also as raw tissues for the recovering of extractives with significant antioxidant activity (AA). To improve knowledge about the ex- tractive content in these trees and to investigate whether there is a correlation between extract composition and AA, heartwoods, sapwoods, barks, knotwoods, twigs and needles of seven of the most common tree species from the alpine region were extracted with different solvents by Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE). The extracts were characterized by GC–MS for fatty and resin acids, TD-GC/MS for terpenes, HPLC-UV for phenolic mono- mers and condensed tannins (CT), and GC-FID for mono- and polysaccharides. The AA of the extracts were thereafter estimated using the DPPH assay. The exact composition of extractives derived was highly characteristic of each specific plant tissue, and some general trends were observed. The richest tissues in extractives (18.6–39.0% on dry tissue) were barks and needles. However, sapwoods showed a very low presence of extractives (5.2–7.5%). The main extractable compounds from bark were CT and polysaccharides, while phenolic monomers and monosaccharides re- presented the majority of needle extractives. Terpenes were mostly detected in twigs. The composition of ex- tractives for heartwoods and knotwoods were more scattered and closely associated to the tissues. A significant correlation between the extract composition and their AA was demonstrated by a multiple linear regression analysis (p-value<0.001). The most effective compounds contributing to the high AA of the extracts were CT. Plant tissue rich in condensed tannins like European oak heartwood, Scots pine bark and Norway spruce bark, should therefore be considered as the most suitable sources for natural antioxidants from the alpine region. However, the findings need to be validated with further antioxidant assays. 1.

description: The architecture of Housing in Muslim societies has changed dramatically throughout the years and has lost its identity in various aspects such as the external appearance and the internal space planning. It has also lost the aspect of privacy of the occupants as well as that of neighbors. The architecture has had huge impact on the interaction of its users and their relationship with the surrounding community. The aim of this research is to analyze the interaction for the users in traditional housing and contemporary modern housing by studying space patterns in traditional and contemporary housings in the Gulf region. In addition, the research proposes a housing design that will be used to study the effects of its space planning on the users’ interaction. The research will include a case study that allows a comparative analysis of various parameters in the traditional and contemporary housing designs. A comparison of the interaction patterns of the occupants will take place in order to find out the differences and commons. Data for this study will be collected using interviews where the occupants of both houses will be asked particular questions regarding defined criteria. The study will help to understand the connection between users’ interaction and the housing design. This will raise awareness regarding different Islamic housing designs and their impact on the occupants’ interaction and life style. Finally, it will help explain how some Islamic housing architecture can build strong relationship between the family members and surrounding community, as well as maintain good values in the society.

description: A post-graduate physical activity counsellor training course wasdeveloped consisting of an Internet-based e-learning componentand a workshop. During the development phase, the acceptance ofthe Internet programme was evaluated with 42 study participantsfrom target professions (physiotherapists, physical educators, GPs,nutritionists). Once the course was in regular use, 49 studentswho had worked through the whole course evaluated it. Nearlyall participants of the first evaluation study rated the e-learningprogramme as user-friendly, easily understandable, interesting andrelevant. They further reported having the necessary access towork with the programme and were prepared to pay a reasonableamount for the course. Regular students gave high ratings to allaspects of the workshop, especially the expertise of workshop leaders.They further rated both components, e-learning and the workshop,as useful or very useful. The results show that this course hasbeen adequately designed to meet the needs of the professionalsin the target group and that they are willing, ready and able tolearn through Internet-based programmes. E-learning is a feasibleand appreciated option yet inclusion of face-to-face sessions in ane-learning programme adds to the quality of a course.

description: Abstract

The study explored the lived experiences of learners utilizing the Learner's Activity Sheets (LAS) at Samar National School using phenomenological study. The purpose of the study was to find out how grade 10 students used LAS to improve their critical thinking and language skills. The results showed that using LAS significantly enhanced students' critical thinking abilities, participation, and engagement in class activities, as well as their English proficiency. Pupils could get past language-related obstacles, gain self-assurance in their language abilities, and realize their full academic potential. The study also revealed difficulties and restrictions related to the use of LAS, offering insightful information for improving its usefulness in language training. The study answers some questions about how LAS is used in English language classes, mainly in Philippine public high schools.

description: The role of coastal mangrove wetlands in sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and mitigating climate change has received increasing attention in recent years. While recent studies have shown that methane (CH4) emissions can potentially offset the carbon burial rates in low-salinity coastal wetlands, there is hitherto a paucity of direct and year-round measurements of ecosystem-scale CH4 flux (FCH4) from mangrove ecosystems. In this study, we examined the temporal variations and biophysical drivers of ecosystem-scale FCH4 in a subtropical estuarine mangrove wetland based on 3 years of eddy covariance measurements. Our results showed that daily mangrove FCH4 reached a peak of over 0.1 g CH4-C m−2 day−1 during the summertime owing to a combination of high temperature and low salinity, while the wintertime FCH4 was negligible. In this mangrove, the mean annual CH4 emission was 11.7 ± 0.4 g CH4-C m–2 year−1 while the annual net ecosystem CO2 exchange ranged between −891 and −690 g CO2-C m−2 year−1, indicating a net cooling effect on climate over decadal to centurial timescales. Meanwhile, we showed that mangrove FCH4 could offset the negative radiative forcing caused by CO2 uptake by 52% and 24% over a time horizon of 20 and 100 years, respectively, based on the corresponding sustained-flux global warming potentials. Moreover, we found that 87% and 69% of the total variance of daily FCH4 could be explained by the random forest machine learning algorithm and traditional linear regression model, respectively, with soil temperature and salinity being the most dominant controls. This study was the first of its kind to characterize ecosystem-scale FCH4 in a mangrove wetland with long-term eddy covariance measurements. Our findings implied that future environmental changes such as climate warming and increasing river discharge might increase CH4 emissions and hence reduce the net radiative cooling effect of estuarine mangrove forests.
