College Students’ Perceptions of Media Portrayals of Divorce

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study takes an exploratory, qualitative approach to examine college students' perceptions about divorce in the media. Findings suggest that participants perceived both positive and negative representations of divorced families in the media they consume, highlighting the complex nature of navigating and communicating through a divorce. Specifically, college students reported on aspects of the ex-spousal relationship, how children are affected, and the contrast between life pre- and postdivorce. An inductive theme analysis revealed several positive and negative media representations of divorce. Largely, college students perceive media messages about divorce to be accurate portrayals and impactful representations.
Gradient-based Intra-attention Pruning on Pre-trained Language Models

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Pre-trained language models achieve superior performance but are computationally expensive. Techniques such as pruning and knowledge distillation have been developed to reduce their sizes and latencies. In this work, we propose a structured pruning method GRAIN (Gradient-based Intra-attention pruning), which performs task-specific pruning with knowledge distillation and yields highly effective models. Different from common approaches that prune each attention head as a whole, GRAIN inspects and prunes intra-attention structures, which greatly expands the structure search space and enables more flexible models. We also propose a gradient separation strategy that reduces the interference of distillation on pruning for a better combination of the two approaches. Experiments on GLUE, SQuAD, and CoNLL 2003 show that GRAIN notably outperforms other methods, especially in the high sparsity regime, and achieves $6\sim7\times$ speedups while maintaining $93\%\sim99\%$ performance. Under extreme compression where only $3\%$ transformer weights remain, the pruned model is still competitive compared to larger models.
MEDICAL TREATMENT OF LUTS/BPH: ANALYSIS OF 8.7 MILLION AMERICAN MEN

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Evidence of the long-term efficacy and safety of alfuzosin treatment for LUTS indicative of BPH was examined.An English literature search of MEDLINE, PubMed and proceedings from scientific meetings from 1974 to 2004 was done. Search terms included benign prostatic hyperplasia, alfuzosin, treatment, α1-adrenergic receptor blocker, long-term, followup, lower urinary tract symptoms, complications or adverse events, sexual, retention and cardiovascular.Currently α1-adrenergic receptor blocking agents are first line treatment for BPH. Although all α-blocking compounds show similar levels of efficacy for LUTS treatment, newer agents such as alfuzosin tend to demonstrate improved selectivity for the prostate and bladder with few vasodilatory effects and they have tolerability advantages over older α-blocking compounds. Immediate, sustained and newer extended release alfuzosin formulations significantly improve LUTS indicative of BPH but extended release alfuzosin may be more convenient to administer and it tends to show better vasodilatory tolerability than the older immediate release formulation.When used to treat BPH, alfuzosin provides symptom relief, decreased residual post-void urine volume and a decreased risk of acute urinary retention, which are maintained during long-term use. Most vasodilatory side effects occur early in treatment and they become less frequent thereafter. Patient quality of life also improves with maximal improvements observed after 12 months of treatment. Continued study will further clarify the physiological, clinical and personal benefits produced by alfuzosin when used for the management of LUTS indicative of BPH.
Forensic Medicine in the Northeastern State of Meghalaya

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The northeastern state of Meghalaya is divided into eleven districts. It was carved out of Assam in 1972, with its capital at Shillong. The practice of Forensic Medicine in the state is still in its infancy. In most districts, medico-legal autopsy is performed by medical officers in Government service, who usually have no forensic qualifications, apart from a long history of exposure to the field. In recent years, there has been a spurt in crimes as well as increase in vehicular movement which resulted in more casualties due to road traffic accidents. Thus, a Government doctor not only has to manage sick patients but also face medico-legal challenges and conduct forensic examination in routine practice.
Dead-reckoning-based indoor localization with wi-fi infrastructure support

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this project, a Wi-Fi Correction Scheme is proposed so the SparseTrack System is modified. The modified SparseTrack System consists of two sub-systems: the Dead-Reckoning Sub-System and the Ranging Sub-System. The Dead-Reckoning Sub- System is used to track pedestrian’s locations and the Ranging Sub-System is used to do the range correction. And then the particle filter is applied to constrain the cumulative errors from the Dead-Reckoning Sub-System. Experimental results show that this modified SparseTrack System can reduce the cumulative errors by around 35% on average.

The installation of this program for employees facilitated learning a new language in the workplace setting in a fun and convenient way.
Characterization of the dietary value of four varieties of quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa Willd) grown in a semi-arid region

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Recently, Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) has attracted a growing global interest for its diverse physicochemical, nutritional, and functional properties. Furthermore, its adaptability to harsh environmental conditions, such as high temperatures and saline soils, further enhances its appeal for research. Consequently, our study focuses on the physicochemical properties, chemical and mineral composition of four quinoa varieties: Amarilla Sacaca, Santa maria, Salcedo INIA and Q26, that were grown under agro-environmental conditions in a semi-arid region in the experimental station of the Technical Institute of Field Crops in El-Khroub, in the Algerian state of Constantine. We assessed their physico-chemical properties (moisture, ash, total protein, total lipids, and starch), determine and estimate mineral salts by AAS, the sugars by HPLC-DAD and the fatty acid profile by GC/MS.The findings indicated that the seeds were high in carbohydrate content. The protein content ranged between 14.53 and 17.94 g/100 g Dw. (K), (Mg) and (P) content were substantial in Santa maria (514.57 mg/100 g Dw; 371.1 mg/100 g Dw and 239.83 mg/100gdw, respectively), whereas Q26 was the best (ca) rich (157.5 mg/100 g Dw). Regarding the different varieties, statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences in free sugars and organic acids. The fatty acid composition comprised 11 compounds, including (Ω6) and palmitic acid as major ones and unsaturated fatty acids accounting for the largest share of total fatty acids (13.45% − 81.15%).
Catalytic Dimerization of Terminal Alkynes by a Hafnium Carboranyl Complex. A “Self-Correcting” Catalyst

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The dinuclear hafnium dicarbollide methyl complex (Cp*)(η5-C2B9H11)Hf(μ-η2:η3-C2B9H11)Hf(Cp*)Me2 (1; Cp* = C5Me5) catalyzes the regioselective dimerization of terminal alkynes RC⋮CH (R = Me, nPr, tBu) to 2,4-disubstituted 1-buten-3-ynes CH2C(R)C⋮CR. The selectivity for dimer rather than trimer or higher oligomers results from a "self-correcting" mechanism in which intermediate 8, which could potentially produce trimers or higher oligomers, undergoes an intramolecular cyclization reaction which ultimately yields the B-alkylated complex 6, which is too crowded to produce trimer in subsequent cycles.
Biopolitics and Media Power in the Online Dance Remake: Remixing Beyoncé’s “***Flawless” in the YouTube Archive

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article examines the dance sequences from Beyoncé’s 2013 video “***Flawless” to highlight the centrality of popular black dance within contemporary culture. Further, it looks beyond Beyoncé’s corpus to critically examine the dance remake, a forum in which dancers harness “media power” (Carroll) within the YouTube archive to re-signify Beyoncé’s work through collective choreographed dance. In this environment, dancers construct alternative biopolitics grounded by localized and participatory modes of identification. In short, this article argues that Beyoncé’s deeply personal and multifaceted poetics, when remixed via collective articulations, prompt non-essentialist negotiations of black culture’s intersectionality. Ultimately such intersectional responses to Beyoncé’s videos complicate recent debates about feminism, resilience, and sexuality within the music industry. It is also within the YouTube archive where the choreographer has assumed an elevated yet precarious status.
A new species of Lentinula (Agaricales) from Central America

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Lentinula aciculospora sp. nov. is described from a single Province in Costa Rica. Stature and habit of basidiomata of this species are similar to some other Lentinula taxa (i.e. L, edodes), but the elongate,cylindrical shape of basidiospores is a distinctive character of L. aciculospora. The mating system of L. aciculospora is tetrapolar as also found in other species of the genus, but this species is genetically isolated from L, boryana, and all morphological variants of L. edodes.
Legal protection of coastal areas and surrounding communities affected by shrimp pond waste (case study: Beting Beach, Bintet Village)

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Waste pollution from shrimp farming activities in the Beting Beach area of Bintet Village has created a situation of serious concern for the marine ecosystem and the surrounding community. This study aims to determine the impact of shrimp farming activities and the form of legal protection. This research uses empirical juridical method with qualitative approach. The results showed that the impact caused in the form of water pollution, namely changes in the color of water accompanied by foul odors and air pollution that disrupts the social activities of the community. Legal protection for coastal areas that have been polluted by waste must be carried out by taking firm action against shrimp farming businesses and restoring affected areas through Law Number 32 of 2009 addressing Protection and Management among the Environment. The community’s legal protection is governed by One of the laws of 2014 involving Amandements to Law Number 27 of 2007 surrounding Administration of Small Islands and Coastal Areas. The statute in question states that administrative sanctions, such as written warnings, temporary site closure, license revocatiobs, and\or administrative fines, are imposed in the event of a violation pertaining regarding the accepting of location and management permits.

Influence of Different Classes of Insecticides on Honey Bee Survival

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Pesticides used to prevent or control unwanted pests are often being considered as a cause of the decline of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) population.Exposure to insecticides, or a group of pesticides, has many negative effects on honey bees.Here we elucidated whether feeding carbon microparticles, designed to absorb pesticide residues, improved to the survival of honey bees exposed to pesticides.Honey bees were exposed to different classes of insecticides (thiamethoxam, chlorpyrifos, and carbaryl) for 10 days.The study shows that feeding carbon microparticles didn't ameliorate the survival of honey bees exposed to insecticidal compounds.
Combination chemotherapy with S-1 and docetaxel for cutaneous angiosarcoma resistant to paclitaxel

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The prognosis of cutaneous angiosarcoma is very poor compared with that of other skin malignancies. The main reason for this is the limited regimens of chemotherapy available for angiosarcoma, because it is resistant to most common chemotherapeutic agents. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify new treatment options. Recently, S-1 and docetaxel therapy was reported to be effective for advanced gastric cancer and metastatic extramammary Paget's disease. Therefore, we treated paclitaxel-resistant angiosarcoma patient with S-1/docetaxel chemotherapy. The progression-free survival was 5.0 months although grade 3 adverse events such as diarrhea and neutropenia developed. Our data need to be confirmed in a large number of patients, but S-1/docetaxel chemotherapy as an additional regimen seems to be an effective treatment option for paclitaxel-resistant angiosarcoma.
<title>Tissue temperature by near-infrared spectroscopy</title>

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Optical determinations of tissue temperature by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy provides the basis for measuring localized changes in tissue metabolism associated with congnition, mechanical work, inflammation, or malignancy. Absorbance changes in NIR spectra of tissue water are shown to correlate with tissue sample temperature. Digital tissue transmission spectra of samples 1-5 mm thick of bovine and avain muscles were obtained over temperatures ranging from 17 to 45C. Reflectance spectra were obtained from blocks of porcine muscle over the temperature range 14 to 46C. Multilinear regression analysis of the correlation between absorbance or reflectance and tissue temperature demonstrated that each O-H bond onvertone spectral region (960, 1200, 1450, and 1920 nm) has a high correlation with tissue temperature. Transmission results gave standard error of the estimates (SEE) and standard error of prediction (SEP) from cross-validation analysis of 0.02 to 0.12C for SEE and 0.04 to 0.12C for SEP. Reflectance results gave SEEs of 0.06 to 0.24C. Combinations of O-H vibrational modes of water give rise to NIR absorbance in solution and tissue. The spectra show a regular shift to shorter wavelength absorbance as temperature increases. Such shifts may be due to decreasing hydrogen-bonding with increasing temperature. These studies have established that the temperature dependent changes in water NIR spectra can be utilized to evaluate tissue temperature with precision and accuracy.
Casting of Aluminum Alloy Strand Using Two- and Three-Wheel Caster

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Casting of a thin aluminum alloy strand was investigated using two-and three-wheel casters. Molten metal was poured through a launder into a trapezoidal groove in the lower wheel of the caster. In the two-wheel caster, the level of molten metal was lower than the height of the walls of the lower wheel groove, and a puddle was formed between the lower and upper wheels. As a result, it was possible to cast the strand without the formation of burrs. In the three-wheel caster, the level of molten metal was higher than the height of the walls of the lower wheel groove by effect of surface tension. However, with the use of a grooved first upper wheel, the molten metal became semisolid, and it was possible to cast the strand without burrs as this semisolid metal passed under the second upper wheel.
Validation of a plasma metabolomics model that allows anticipation of the occurrence of cytomegalovirus DNAaemia in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A plasma metabolomic model obtained by means of untargeted 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, to which taurine, choline, methylamine, total glutathione, trimethylamine N-oxide, lactate, lysine, isoleucine, total fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids contributed, was validated for the prediction of first episodes of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNAaemia in a cohort of 79 allogeneic stem haematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) recipients. The predictive success rate was nearly 65 % for patients at both low and high risk of CMV-related complications according to their baseline characteristics. Plasma metabolomics profiling shortly after engraftment (day 21 after transplantation) allowed the anticipation of the occurrence of CMV DNAaemia in 71 % of patients. Plasma metabolomics analyses may be ancillary for identifying allo-HSCT patients at the highest risk of CMV DNAaemia who may benefit from early targeted antiviral prophylaxis.
Study on Forecasting Method of Forest Fire Risk Grade in Putian City, China

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

From January 1, 2014, the basic stations of meteorological observation countries have changed from small evaporation observations to large-scale evaporation observations. National general weather stations have canceled observations on evaporation, but small evaporation is very important for forest fire risk prediction. In order to make the prediction of forest fire risk level objectively, weather data in Putian City, China and the multi-linear regression analysis method is used to calculate the daily evaporation amount in the more advanced SPSS16.0 software (English version), and the data of the last 5 years of each site are selected and fitted. Results showed that we accurately calculated the evaporation of the next day to make up for the lack of data due to the adjustment of the evaporation observation project. According to the forest fire risk weather index corresponding to many meteorological factors such as evaporation, temperature, humidity, sunshine and wind speed, the forest fire risk meteorological grade standard was designed to make a more accurate forest fire risk grade forecast.
JWST COMPASS: The 3–5 μm Transmission Spectrum of the Super-Earth L 98-59 c

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract We present a JWST Near-InfraRed Spectrograph (NIRSpec) transmission spectrum of the super-Earth exoplanet L 98-59 c. This small ( R p = 1.385 ± 0.085 R ⊕ , M p = 2.22 ± 0.26 R ⊕ ), warm ( T eq = 553 K) planet resides in a multiplanet system around a nearby, bright ( J = 7.933) M3V star. We find that the transmission spectrum of L 98-59 c is featureless at the precision of our data. We achieve precisions of 22 ppm in NIRSpec G395H’s NRS1 detector and 36 ppm in the NRS2 detector at a resolution R ∼ 200 (30 pixel wide bins). At this level of precision, we are able rule out primordial H 2 –He atmospheres across a range of cloud pressure levels up to at least ∼0.1 mbar. By comparison to atmospheric forward models, we also rule out atmospheric metallicities below ∼300× solar at 3 σ (or, equivalently, atmospheric mean molecular weights below ∼10 g mol −1 ). We also rule out pure methane atmospheres. The remaining scenarios that are compatible with our data include a planet with no atmosphere at all, or higher-mean-molecular-weight atmospheres, such as CO 2 - or H 2 O-rich atmospheres. This study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting that planets ≲1.5 R ⊕ lack extended atmospheres.
A Tribological Study of Antimony-Impregnated Graphite for Steam Mechanical Seals

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Wear resistance, self-lubrication, and chemical stability of Antimony-Impregnated Graphite (AIG) grades in steam environments make them suitable for mechanical sealing requirements in Rotary Unions in paper manufacturing industries. The working conditions of such seals had been re-created in pin-on-disc tests, and the tribological characteristics were studied. Pins made of three commercial grades of AIG had been tested against Grade 304 Austenitic stainless-steel discs. Pin-on Disc wear tests in constant loading and time-dependent loading conditions were conducted in pressurized steam environments. Scanning Electron Microscopy, EDX, Raman Spectroscopy, and wear track profiles were analyzed on samples. The wear rate of the pins had increased with an increase in load up to a specific limit. Raising the load further caused the stage-wise failure of the transfer film. This resulted in the wear of the metal surface and a reduction in pin wear. This observation corroborated with the components obtained from industrial installations. Sinusoidal loading resulted in microcracks on the loaded surface and rupture of many samples. The wear rate was observed to be reduced due to a much more stable transfer layer.
