Technological innovation in policing and crime prevention: Practitioner perspectives from London

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Digital technology now plays a critical role in policing and security management, with policing apps, drones and body-worn cameras potentially being game-changers. Adoption of such technologies is, however, not straightforward and depends upon the buy-in of senior management teams and users. This study examines what obstacles practitioners face in the procurement, deployment and use of crime prevention and detection technologies. The issue is explored through a number of expert interviews conducted with practitioners in London between August 2019 and March 2020. This work expands previous, more theoretical, literature on the topic by adding a practical perspective and advances the understanding of issues faced in innovation processes and their management. We identified a variety of issues and obstacles to technological innovation for policing. These include the deployment of new systems at the cost of old ones, lack of financial and political support, issues in public–private partnerships, and public acceptability. Although individual practitioners may have the expertise and willingness to unleash the full potential of surveillance and crime-reduction technologies, they are usually restrained by institutional rules or, in some cases, inefficiencies. In terms of the latter, this study especially highlights the negative impact of a lack of technical interoperability of different systems, missing inter- and intra-agency communication, and unclear guidelines and procedures.
Does growth of ventures depend on competencies?: selected cases from India

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

An entrepreneur is one who possesses unique competencies, such as risk taking ability, creative orientation, leadership potential, and resourceful nature that help in generating an idea and commercialising it for the use of masses. In order to develop and augment any venture, competency on varied domains is essential, as the person must have personal and social skills along with ability in managing and capitalising all opportunities. In this study, we will examine the role of different competencies-personal, social, managerial, and entrepreneurial, towards assisting women entrepreneurs in the initiation and growth of an enterprise. With the help of open-ended questions, data has been collected through in-depth interviews from women entrepreneurs of different regions across India. The findings of the study provide assistance in framing promotional programmes and policies for encouraging women entrepreneurs in the future endeavour.

Ventilation of hypoxic gas results in changes in whole nerve vagal recordings in the newborn rat

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Pulmonary neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs) form clusters of specialized epithelial cells situated within the airway mucosa. They express a unique membrane delimited oxygen (O 2 ) sensor (Nature. 1993; 365(6442):153‐5). NEBs are innervated by afferents within the vagus nerve and synthesize serotonin (5HT) that is released as a neurotransmitter of hypoxia stimulus. NEBs and their vagal afferents express the ionotropic 5HT 3 receptor (5HT 3 ‐R) involved in hypoxia chemotransduction. We hypothesized that hypoxia, via NEB activation, would increase vagal nerve activity. Newborn rat pups between days 1 to 10 were anesthetised, paralyzed (pancuronium 0.25 mg/kg) and mechanically ventilated. Muscarinic receptor blockade was achieved with atropine (0.25 mg/kg). The right cervical vagus was exposed and whole nerve activity was recorded using a platinum bipolar electrode. Ventilation with hypoxic gas (10% O 2 ) caused an increase (P<0.001 ANOVA) in the integrated nerve activity (8.66 ± 4.96 %) compared to control (100% O 2 ). Preliminary studies using the 5HT 3 ‐R blocker (ICS 205‐930) resulted in a partial inhibition of the hypoxia‐induced increase in whole nerve vagal activity. We conclude that ventilation with hypoxic gas resulted in gross changes in integrated vagal nerve activity. We propose that these gross changes in global vagal activity as a result of ventilation with 10% O 2 are the result of NEB stimulation via its membrane bound oxygen‐sensor.

Antidumping Charges Against China: A Comprehensive Analysis Of Proponents, Opponents, And Its Impact On U.S. Companies

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Few nations have changed as fastor as Dramaticallyas China has since the 1970s. The worlds most populous nation has radically liberalized its economy and gone from producing low-quality and simple export to sophisticated high- technology goods, while nurturing a vibrant private sector and attracting nearly $500 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI). Chinas total exports grew eightfoldto over $380 billionbetween 1990 and 2003. Chinas share of global exports will reach 6 percent in 2003, compared to 3.9 percent in 2000. The U.S. has lost about 2.6 million manufacturing jobs since 2001. While private economists say that most of he job losses reflected improved productivity at U.S. factories, many in Congress and within industry say China blame China. Chinas soaring economy has turned it into manufacturing juggernaut that maintains the largest trade surplus of many nations, including the U.S. U.S. law provides for the protection of American manufacturers form unfair foreign trade practices. If U.S. companies believe that foreign competitors are dumping merchandise in the U.S. or are being subsidized by foreign governments, they may file for relief with the U.S. Department of Commerces International Trade Administration and the U.S. Trade Commission. Antidumping levies duties on goods dumped on the U.S. market. One of the most contested issues is whether U.S. trade laws, in particular the antidumping laws, should be open to negotiation. It should for the benefits of U.S. customers and U.S. businesses. This research will focus on dumping charges against China and evaluate pros and cons of U.S. antidumping laws against foreign companies and its impact on U.S. consumers and businesses.
Megasonic elution of waterborne protozoa enhances recovery rates

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Waterborne pathogens represent a major concern for human and animal health making monitoring of water essential to prevent outbreaks. Sample preparation is critical to assess a spatio-temporally representative volume of water and identify pathogens present at low concentrations, with filtration being the commonly adopted approach. Numerous different filter types and operational strategies have been investigated to consistently improve the low recovery rates of pathogens, with work now investigating creation of automated sampling systems. Previous work has often focused on chemical strategies for maximising recovery rates during the elution from the filter. However, novel physical methods, like the use of megasonic sonication offer great potential for effective pathogen removal from filters. Compared to ultrasound assisted agitation, megasonic sonication, which operates at a higher excitation energy frequency, offers a gentler and more thorough process for elution with lower risk of pathogen damage during the process. Megasonic exposure of Cryptosporidium oocysts has been demonstrated to preserve their viability. This mode of elution enables the downstream identification of pathogen infectivity since viability and species information cannot be extracted from damaged or destroyed pathogens. Here we investigate the use of megasonic elution to improve the recovery rates of Cryptosporidium in two different filtration setups: firstly dead-end filtration using a Rexeed filter and secondly, tangential flow filtration using a Fresenius filter. The results demonstrate that recovery rates are increased by around 50% for both setups highlighting the potential of megasonic elution in this application.

Global fast and slow solutions of a single-species bacillus system with free boundary

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this article, we consider a free boundary problem for a reaction diffusion equation which describes the dynamics of single bacillus population in higher space dimensions and heterogeneous environment. For simplicity, we assume that the environment and solution are radially symmetric. First, by using the contraction mapping theorem, we prove that the local solution exists and is unique. Then, some sufficient conditions are given under which the solution will blow up in finite time. Our results indicate that the blowup occurs if the initial data are sufficiently large. Finally, the long time behavior of the global solution is discussed. It is shown that the global fast solution does exist if the initial data are sufficiently small, while the global slow solution is possible if the initial data are suitably large.
JAPANESE STUDIES AT SOFIA UNIVERSITY, BULGARIA AND JAPAN FOUNDATION'S JOINT RESPONSE TO THE COVID19 PANDEMIC: NEW PROJECTS EXPERIENCES

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Japanese Studies Department at Sofia University Bulgaria and the Japan Foundation have a history of long and fruitful cooperation. The Japan Foundation has been supporting Japanese language and studies education at Sofia University in numerous ways: project grants, salary grants, dispatch of Japanese language specialists, etc. In 2020 and 2021 the Foundation launched special programs in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, Japanese Department at Sofia University applied for the above and again, this time under pandemic circumstances, we managed to implement several successful projects. The application process was very simplified, project proposals were strictly limited to COVID19 support and thus, we managed to apply more than once and include special activities to directly meet the needs of the Japanese Studies Department at Sofia University, Bulgaria in terms of the specific situation education is facing. The aim of this paper is to present results obtained, formulate useful conclusions from them, and identify patterns (and ideas) for future international cooperation projects, especially in difficult times.
Detectors for high resolution gamma-ray imaging based on a single CsI(Tl) scintillator coupled to an array of silicon drift detectors

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) coupled to scintillators have been recently employed successfully in gamma-ray detection. The low value of output capacitance of a SDD allows to reach a lower electronics noise with respect to a conventional silicon photodiode. Detectors based on array of SDDs are of particular interest for gamma-ray imaging. A first prototype conceived for high-resolution imaging is based on a monolithic array of small SDDs (5 mm/sup 2/ each unit) with on-chip JFET. The first imaging results obtained with a seven elements array are here reported. For the realization of gamma detectors of larger active areas, SDDs of 30 mm/sup 2/ of area with external JFET, to be assembled in arrays have been produced. We present the experimental results obtained in the characterization of a single CsI(Tl)-SDD unit.
FS-KEN: Few-shot Knowledge Graph Reasoning by Adversarial Negative Enhancing

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Few-shot knowledge graph reasoning (FS-KGR) try to infer missing facts in a knowledge graphs using limited data (such as only 3/5 samples).Existing strategies have shown good performance by mining more supervised information for few-shot learning through meta-learning and self-supervised learning. However, the problem of insufficient samples has not been fundamentally solved. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm based on adversarial learning for Enhancing Negative samples in few-shot scenarios of FS-KGR, termed FS-KEN. Specifically, we are the first to use GAN to conduct data augmentation on FS-KGR scenario. FS-KEN uses policy gradient GANs for negative sample augmentation, solving the gradient back-propagation issue in traditional GANs. The generator aims to produce high-quality negative entities. while the objective of the discriminator is to distinguish between generated entities and real entities. Comprehensive experiments conducted on two few-shot knowledge graph completion datasets reveal that FS-KEN surpasses other baseline models, achieving state-of-the-art results.

T-S fuzzy modeling and predictive control and synchronization of chaotic satellite systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we present the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy modeling, predictive controlling and its synchronization of chaotic system. Based on the T-S fuzzy model, predictive controllers for stabilization and synchronization of chaotic satellite systems are designed via linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). To justify the chaoticity of satellite system, bifurcation diagrams with respect to known parameters of satellite systems are analyzed; Poincare section with different sowing axes of satellite are drawn; Lyapunov exponents are estimated. Predictive control technique is applied to synchronize the two identical satellite systems. Analytical and computational studies of satellite systems have been performed by using LMI toolbox. Feedback control gains matrices at the equilibrium points and stabilization gains matrices at initial conditions for satellite systems are obtained. The time to achieve the desired controlling and synchronization of satellite system applying at t = 20 is set by selecting different controller gains. Solutions of equations of motion of satellite system are drawn in the form of three dimensional, two dimensional and time series phase portraits. The qualitative and simulated results are in an excellent agreement.
Technological Innovations for the treatment of impulsiveness

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Impulse control, or also called inhibitory control, refers to the capacity of controlling attentiveness, behavior, thoughts, and/or emotions, and, at the end, to control internal willingness that is in charge of our behavior. It is important to mention that impulsiveness can be associated to three main factors, first, to behave without a direct implication of frontal lobe functioning; second, increased rate of the response given; and, behavior directed towards immediate reward. This article arises from the need to include technological innovations for the treatment of impulsiveness, thus, literature revision of the available applications about this topic has been made.
[The role of opioid peptides in regulation of cholecystokinin-stimulated bile secretion].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Ifluence of intraperitoneal delta, mu and kappa opioid agonists on bile secretion and composition stimulated by cholecystokinin was studied in white rats.

It is supposed that opioidergic regulation alter bile secretion in an opposite manner depending on base secretory level.
Corporate Postretirement Benefit Plans and Real Investment

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper shows that the real investment by nonfinancial firms is systematically related to the size of their defined-benefit plan. In particular, these plans allow research and development (R&D)-intensive firms to retain and borrow from their employees, which is attractive since they have high adjustment costs, require a stable cash flow, have less collateral, have assets that are harder to value, and have high asymmetric information and agency costs. By contrast, capital expenditures benefit from credit multiplier effects with regard to regular debt, which substitutes for postretirement obligations. As a result, firms with defined-benefit plans have 12% more R&D and 5% less capital expenditure compared with otherwise similar firms, and they vary contributions as a function of cash flow and real investment. The role of postretirement plans is attenuated in countries with available alternative funding sources. The results are robust to controlling for other dimensions of financial policy—cash holdings, debt maturity, dividends, preferred stock, convertible debt, and leverage—that also affect real investment. This paper was accepted by Gustavo Manso, finance.
A Slight Variation on Glicksberg's Theorem

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Glicksberg's (1952) xed point theorem is stated for a correspondence de ned on a convex, compact subset of a locally convex Hausdor® linear space. One of the main applications of this result, the existence of mixed strategy equilibria in compact, continuous games, focuses on a metrizable subset of the vector space of signed measures, endowed with the weak* topology. I thought it would be interesting to re-prove the xed point theorem imposing restrictions only on the metric subspace, rather than the vector space in which it is imbedded. The result is a statement of Glicksberg's xed point theorem that doesn't require knowledge of topological vector spaces. It is enough to understand the basics of vector spaces and metric spaces. Assume V is a vector space, and let X be a convex subset endowed with a metric d. The key condition on this metric is that d is compatible with V , in the sense that:

Optimization of Vegetative Filter Strip using VFSMOD-w model and Genetic-Algorithm

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Vegetative Filter Strip (VFS) is one of effective Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent sediment-laden water problem, is installed at the edge of source area such agricultural area so that sediment occurred in source area is trapped by VFS before it flow into stream or river. Appropriate scale of it needs to be simulated before it is installed, considering various field conditions. In this study, a model using VFSMOD-w model and Genetic Algorithm to determine effective VFS length was developed, it is available to calibrate input parameter related to source area sediment yield through thousands of VFSMOD-w simulations. Useful DBs, moreover, are stored in the model so that very specific input parameters can be used with reasonable values. Compared simulated values to observed data values for calibration, R2 and Nash-Stucliffe model efficiency coefficient were 0.74 and 0.65 in flow comparison, and 0.89 and 0.79 in sediment comparison. The model determined 1.0 m of Filter Length, 0.18 of Filter Slope, and 0.2 cm of Filter Media Spacing to reduce 80% of sediment by VFS. The model has not only Auto-Calibration module also DBs for specific input parameters, thus, the model is expected to be used for effective VFS scale.
