Is God Giving or Trading? Thomas Aquinas's First Use of “Just Price”

Abstract The phrase “just price” first appears in Aquinas's Commentary on the Book of Isaiah (1252). Interestingly, even in this early work Aquinas introduces the notion of price to comment on a verse, a term which had in fact disappeared with the Vulgate Latin translation, on which Aquinas relied, and which does not appear in the Fathers’ commentaries. Aquinas here provides the founding elements of his later analyses: the role of the price in ensuring the justice of exchange but also the diversity of possible exchange ratios, not necessarily referring to price, in order to account for limit cases within an exchange framework.

Competence-Orientated and Transtheoretical? Ideas and Barriers for Psychotherapeutic Training

The education and training of psychotherapists is usually based on a procedure-specific theoretical orientation. However, this can have disadvantages as it hinders the utilisation of the possibilities and experiences offered by the overall field of psychotherapy. It could therefore be useful to combine different theoretical approaches and to orientate psychotherapeutic education and training in a transtheoretical and cross-procedural way. The article describes the extent to which competence-orientated psychotherapeutic training can provide a framework for interdisciplinary exchange within psychotherapy. It presents a practical example of a university-based training programme in basic psychotherapeutic skills that integrates different theoretical approaches. Transtheoretical training first requires an overarching model for case conceptualisation and a transtheoretical definition of intervention goals. Treatment methods should be classified according to their transtheoretical goals in order to better compare and combine them. Dynamic network models offer a perspective for modern transtheoretical case formulations. We present a competence-oriented approach for psychotherapeutic training in a university context and give an outlook on the barriers of competence-oriented training. A competence-orientated approach in the education and training of prospective psychotherapists will help to bridge the gap between different psychotherapeutic traditions. It should be seen as a complement to existing methods, not as competition. Overall, however, there are still some barriers to overcome.

All-in-one dual-function porous materials derived from polyacrylonitrile for high-performance supercapacitor

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based multifunctional energy storage materials have garnered significant interest in the research community. However, developing multifunctional PAN porous materials for integrated supercapacitors has encountered challenges such as low energy density, insufficient separator wettability, and limited ion conductivity. Herein, two types of versatile PAN-based dual-function porous membranes with varying pore sizes were fabricated using straightforward techniques involving solvent exchange and a directed freezing freeze-drying process. Subsequently, a high-performance-separator (POS) was developed by modifying pristine porous PAN with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). Energy storage materials (CPAN-MnO2) were fabricated by depositing MnO2 onto the porous carbonised PAN (CPAN) surface through electrodeposition. The resulting structure, with CPAN-MnO2 as the energy storage unit and POS as the separator, achieved an impressive ion conductivity of 32.2 mS cm−1, super hydrophilicity, and high electrolyte uptake (456 %) and retention (302 %). A symmetric supercapacitor (SC) using CPAN-MnO2 and POS demonstrated a maximum energy density of 163 μWh cm−2 and exceptional cyclic stability, with 93.6 % capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles. This superior energy storage performance can be attributed to the TEOS-modified PAN porous channels, which enhance wettability with the electrolyte, improving electrolyte uptake and retention within the porous framework for ion exchange, thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance.

PilY1 regulates the dynamic architecture of the type IV pilus machine in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Type IV pili (T4P) produced by the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa play a pivotal role in adhesion, surface motility, biofilm formation, and infection in humans. Despite the significance of T4P as a potential therapeutic target, key details of their dynamic assembly and underlying molecular mechanisms of pilus extension and retraction remain elusive, primarily due to challenges in isolating intact T4P machines from the bacterial cell envelope. Here, we combine cryo-electron tomography with subtomogram averaging and integrative modelling to resolve in-situ architectural details of the dynamic T4P machine in P. aeruginosa cells. The T4P machine forms 7-fold symmetric cage-like structures anchored in the cell envelope, providing a molecular framework for the rapid exchange of major pilin subunits during pilus extension and retraction. Our data suggest that the T4P adhesin PilY1 forms a champagne-cork-shaped structure, effectively blocking the secretin channel in the outer membrane whereas the minor-pilin complex in the periplasm appears to contact PilY1 via the central pore of the secretin gate. These findings point to a hypothetical model where the interplay between the secretin protein PilQ and the PilY1-minor-pilin priming complex is important for optimizing conformations of the T4P machine in P. aeruginosa, suggesting a gate-keeping mechanism that regulates pilus dynamics.

Possibilities and missed opportunities for generative dialogue: professional networking, online platforms and the English classroom

PurposeSocial media is increasingly vital for educators to extend their professional networks and engage in meaningful conversations. This study aims to explore how Reddit facilitates these interactions as a platform for generative dialogical exchange. For English educators, generative dialogue is paramount for professional development and classroom practice.Design/methodology/approachTo better understand this dynamic, we outline Hermans and Hermans-Konopka’s (2010) framework of generative dialogical exchange, review relevant literature related to the implications of social media use by educators and argue for the importance of Reddit as a site of exploration into dialogical exchange. After describing our artifact selection, we offer relevant data and conclude with understanding and implications.FindingsWe argue that although online educator communities, particularly those on Reddit, offer opportunities for broad dialogical exchange for English educators, these can be marked by a push and pull between the expansion of the dialogical space and a tendency to rein it back in through reinforcing traditional power dynamics.Originality/valueReddit is an understudied site for extending professional networks and fostering conversations among educators, providing a novel approach to understanding these dynamics through dialogical theory.

The state of health information organizations and plans to participate in the federal exchange framework.

In late 2023, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology launched the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) to enable nationwide health information exchange. Regional, local, and state health information organizations (HIOs) will be key components of nationwide exchange, and TEFCA could broaden HIOs' access to information. However, HIOs can choose whether to participate. We conducted a national survey of HIOs in 2023 to assess their plans to participate in TEFCA and broader measures of maturity. We identified 76 operational HIOs, down from 89 in 2019. These HIOs operated in 47 states and contained over 600 million patient records, indicating some duplication. Sixty-three percent of HIOs planned to participate in TEFCA, up 7 percentage points from 2019, and 32% of HIOs indicated that they did not know if they would participate. Health information organizations already engaged in exchange with other networks were more likely to plan to participate. The most common barrier (44%) was having not developed a strategic plan for TEFCA participation. While TEFCA appears to have successfully engaged the majority of HIOs, achieving nationwide exchange will require policy efforts to either attract the remaining HIOs or ensure that nonparticipating HIOs' providers have another option for TEFCA participation.

Road to a National Health Information Network: US Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA).

The Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) is a U.S. government initiative aimed at promoting the secure and interoperable exchange of electronic health information (EHI) across the healthcare ecosystem. In the U.S., TEFCA was established as part of the 21st Century Cures Act, signed into law in December 2016. Methods: A literature search using the PRISMA guidelines will be conducted through PubMed, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and Web of Science, for dates 2013-2024 will be conducted. Results will be demonstrated with a timeline, graphics, and written text on the key points of technical and operational standards for HIE, rules and expectations for data sharing under the Common Agreement, governance framework for implementation and enforcement principles, stakeholders and collaborators, and interoperability challenges. TEFCA seeks to improve patient care, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance overall healthcare quality by facilitating the seamless exchange of data between different healthcare entities. Sharing this information can contribute to nursing informatics practice and knowledge as the U.S. and other countries strive towards better interoperability in the race to improve patient care and outcomes using health information technology.

An innovative multi-agent approach for robust cyber–physical systems using vertical federated learning

Federated learning presents a compelling approach to training artificial intelligence systems in decentralized settings, prioritizing data safety over traditional centralized training methods. Understanding correlations among higher-level threats exhibiting abnormal behavior in the data stream becomes paramount to developing cyber–physical systems resilient to diverse attacks within a continuous data exchange framework. This work introduces a novel vertical federated multi-agent learning framework to address the challenges of modeling attacker and defender agents in stationary and non-stationary vertical federated learning environments. Our approach uniquely applies synchronous Deep Q-Network (DQN) based agents in stationary environments, facilitating convergence towards optimal strategies. Conversely, in non-stationary contexts, we employ synchronous Advantage Actor–Critic (A2C) based agents, adapting to the dynamic nature of multi-agent vertical federated reinforcement learning (VFRL) environments. This methodology enables us to simulate and analyze the adversarial interplay between attacker and defender agents, ensuring robust policy development. Our exhaustive analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach, showcasing its capability to learn optimal policies in both static and dynamic setups, thus significantly advancing the field of cyber-security in federated learning contexts. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we have done a comparative analysis with its baseline schemes. The findings of our study show significant enhancements compared to the standard methods, confirming the efficacy of our methodology. This progress dramatically enhances the area of cyber-security in the context of federated learning by facilitating the formulation of substantial policies. The proposed scheme attains 15.93%, 32.91%, 31.02%, and 47.26% higher results as compared to the A3C, DDQN, DQN, and Reinforce, respectively.

몽골 문서보관소 자료를 통해 본 북한과 몽골의 문화교류

This study examined cultural exchange patterns between North Korea and Mongolia in the 1950s and 1960s based on materials from the Mongolian archives. The following characteristics emerged in the cultural exchange between North Korea and Mongolia at that time. First, In July 1952, a 72-member North Korean art troupe led by Choi Seung-hee visited Mongolia for two weeks to commemorate the 31st anniversary of the Mongolian People's Revolution. This was a very unusual move, and Mongolia was the only country where North Korea dispatched a North Korean art troupe with Choi Seung-hee during the height of the war. Second, on May 14, 1956, North Korea and Mongolia signed the first cultural agreement and established a basic framework for cultural exchange. At that time, along with the cultural agreement, North Korea signed an economic and cultural agreement with a country with close economic support and political solidarity, and Mongolia, along with Soviet Union and China, was one of the countries that signed the agreement. This shows that in North Korea's external relations, Mongolia had the same friendly relationship with Soviet Union and China. Third, as the visit of Choi Seung-hee and Anmag(安漠) to Mongolia in the 1950s and 1960s is newly revealed, their activity in cultural exchange cooperation between North Korea and Mongolia stands out. When the Pacific War broke out in the early 1940s, Choi Seung-hee toured the front lines in Manchuria and Mongolia and gave consolation performances, and after defecting to North Korea, she taught Mongolian students studying abroad in Beijing. Anmag reached her peak together with her wife, Choi Seung-hee, when she ascended to the position of Minister of Culture and Propaganda in 1956, but visited Mongolia in January of that year, just before her purge in 1958. Anmag participated as a representative of North Korea to conclude the ‘Cultural Exchange Plan between North Korea and Mongolia’ in 1958 and planned various cultural cooperation projects between the two countries.

The article discusses the need to create a Unified Notary Information System in the Eurasian Economic Union, which will allow advancement to a higher level of economic cooperation, lead to more effective development of civil legal relations, and allow for electronic exchange of information and documents. The procedure for reg-istration and execution of notarial acts has been studied; the amount of information to be recorded, as well as methods for recording it. A comparative analysis of the legislation of the member states of the Eurasian Eco-nomic Union regulating notarial activities was carried out. The procedure and method of collecting information, the level of security of documents, and the possibility of conducting verification activities to determine the au-thenticity of the submitted documents are considered. The subject of comparison is the degree of use of digital technologies within the framework of the electronic exchange of information and documents between partici-pants in civil transactions (notaries, citizens, legal entities). Attention is focused on analyzing the degree of im-plementation of digital technologies within the framework of storing notarial documents. The capabilities of notaries to provide notarial services are considered, including the ability to collect information necessary to per-form a notarial act, and information necessary to formalize inheritance rights. The powers of notaries in the framework of interaction with state registers have been studied, including the powers to carry out verification actions in relation to applicants, register rights to movable and immovable property, to introduce encumbrances on movable and immovable property, as well as to make changes to the information contained in state regis-ters. The subject of comparison was the degree of digital technology usage in the process of storage of notarial documents, as well as in the framework of electronic exchange of information between participants of civil turnover (notaries, individuals and legal entities). Prospects for further research in this area are defined.

Exploring the Implementation Challenges of the Electronic Freight Transport Information (eFTI) Regulation: An Empirical Perspective from Greece

Background: The electronic Freight Transport Information (eFTI) regulation is critical in modernizing freight transport (FT) within the European Union by establishing a framework for the electronic exchange of information. Despite its importance, there is a notable gap in the literature regarding the practical implementation challenges, especially from an empirical perspective. Methods: To address this gap, our study utilized a grounded theory approach, conducting interviews with a diverse group of logistics experts from Greece. The selection of experts was strategic to ensure a comprehensive range of knowledge and expertise, including insights at the policy level as well as practical experiences. Results: Our findings highlight several significant challenges in the implementation of eFTI, including the digital skill gap among the workforce, issues with system interoperability, and diverse capacities and resources of companies of different sizes. Economic factors, regulatory frameworks and the necessity for targeted training and leadership support were also identified as crucial for the digital transition. Conclusions: The study shows that uniform eFTI implementation may not work for all organizations, highlighting the necessity for customized strategies that address specific challenges in the FT chain. Our research deepens the understanding of these issues, providing actionable insights for successful eFTI adoption.

The influence of training, membership and employee age on turnover intention in co-operative financial institutions

Abstract Purpose Training is an important element of human resource management (HRM) at co-operative financial institutions (CFIs), affecting their performance and their implementation of co-operative principles. Nevertheless, this topic has been fairly unexplored in the literature. In particular, we do not know how training affects turnover intention and how this influence is moderated by employee characteristics like membership (i.e., holding employer shares) and age. Thus, the aim of this article is to examine the impact of training on turnover intention, taking into account employee membership and age. Design/methodology/approach The research hypotheses were formulated using the framework of social exchange (SET) theory and were verified using a sample of more than 1,500 employees sourced from 42 Polish co-operative banks in 2017. The analysis involved two-level linear regression models with two- and three-way moderation. Findings The results indicate that training decreases turnover intention in CFIs. Moreover, this effect appears to be stronger for employee-members than for non-members. Furthermore, moderation through membership only applies to older employees, whereas, among younger employees, there is no difference between members and non-members. Originality/value By investigating the effects of training within CFIs specifically, this article responds to calls to take context into greater account in HRM studies, and also helps find moderators to explain the ambiguity of existing studies about the impact of training on turnover. Moreover, the article makes an important contribution to the co-operative literature by analysing the role of membership in shaping employee turnover intention.

A review: Critical Heat Flux (CHF) during pool boiling

A Pool Boiling occurs when a heated surface comes into touch with a liquid pool. The liquid is heated until it vaporizes and rises to the surface in the form of bubbles. A liquid is heated to the point of Pool Boiling, where vapor nucleation causes bubbles to form. Heat transmission is increased as these bubbles become larger and detach from the surface, allowing the cold liquid to come into contact with them and transmit heat. A review was conducted on the significance of nucleation site stability in the Pool Boiling thermal transfer method, which finds widespread applicability in diverse industrial settings. The efficiency of heat transfer and the boiling process are dependent on the stability of nucleation sites. The maximum heat flux that may be transported prior to the onset of film boiling is known as the critical heat flux (CHF), and it is an important consideration in the design of thermal transfer systems. Reducing contaminants and dissolved gasses in the liquid as well as altering surface characteristics including microstructures, coatings, and roughness can all increase the stability of nucleation sites. Although nucleation site stability requires a complex mathematical computation, it may be described by a few general equations and relationships, such as the crucial bubble size and heat flux. The critical heat flux (CHF) phenomena, its significance for Pool Boiling thermal transfer, and its use in a range of industrial and engineering contexts are covered in this page. The significance of fathoming the components driving CHF and the factors impacting it is stressed in the article for of making exact prescient models and compelling heat exchange frameworks. The CHF component, the few hypothetical and observational models that have been put on a mission to make sense of CHF, and the factors that impact it —, for example, liquid boundaries, surface elements, framework strain, and stream rate — are undeniably canvassed in this article. The improvement of novel surface modifications and strategies to help CHF and support the heat exchange effectiveness of Pool Boiling frameworks was the primary focal point of ongoing examination. The article's decision is that CHF is a convoluted peculiarity that keeps on collecting a ton of interest from specialists and presents practical open doors for raising the viability and guaranteeing the protected sending of heat exchange frameworks in different settings.

Regulations and Funding to Create Enterprise Architecture for a Nationwide Health Data Ecosystem.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the United States' lack of a nationwide infrastructure for collecting, sharing, and using health data, especially for secondary uses (e.g., population health management and public health). The federal government is taking several important steps to upgrade the nation's health data ecosystem-notably, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Data Modernization Initiative and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology's Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement. However, substantial barriers remain. Inconsistent regulations, infrastructure, and governance across federal and state levels and between states significantly impede the exchange and analysis of health data. Siloed systems and insufficient funding block effective integration of clinical, public health, and social determinants data within and between states. In this analytic essay, we propose strategies to develop a nationwide health data ecosystem. We focus on providing federal guidance and incentives to develop state-designated entities responsible for the collection, integration, and analysis of clinical, public health, social determinants of health, claims, administrative, and other relevant data. These recommendations include a regulatory clearinghouse, federal guidance, model legislation and templated regulation, funding to incentive enterprise architecture, regulatory sandboxes, and a 3-pronged research agenda.

However, global protocols are needed to meet the growing demand for data interchange, practical implementations for sharing healthcare data among facilities, and a pressing need for processing and storage infrastructure to handle the escalating volume of healthcare data. This study proposes a solution for efficient data transmission using electronic health records (EHR) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) to leverage cloud computing resources. This framework's architecture boasts robustness and adaptability, providing all registered software programs access to data interchange services. Through a comprehensive examination of the framework's structure, the essay also explores the most effective data-sharing methods. It identifies the healthcare system's optimal EHR data model. According to multiple healthcare experts, the operational building of this framework is expected to catalyze the growth of healthcare institutions both nationally and within specific industries.

Frequency-Offset Information Aided Self Time Synchronization Scheme for High-Dynamic Multi-UAV Networks

Due to the unique merits of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems, they have already been harnessed for military, public, and civil applications. Time synchronization is a significant premise of formatting and applying UAV networks. However, the irregular high-speed mobile UAVs pose new challenges to time synchronization, especially when external time references are unavailable in some rigid scenarios. Therefore, in these harsh cases, self-time-synchronization (STS) without any external assistance should be concerned to overcome the relative velocity between UAVs caused by irregular high-speed motion. In this paper, a realistic timestamps model for the multi-UAV networks is established, and then a dynamic topology-based maximum likelihood estimator will be developed to carry out the STS. Furthermore, by introducing the information on frequency offset, a new estimator with the closed-form expression is proposed based on a two-way message exchange framework. After that, a tracking algorithm with the assistance of estimation results will be introduced to compensate for the time-varying change of the clock parameters for the dynamic topology UAV networks. To evaluate the performance of the estimator, both the estimation error and Cramér-Rao lower bound are analyzed. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm exhibits its superiority in STS performance and computational complexity compared to the existing two-way message exchange algorithm using timestamps only.

The Potential Benefits and Challenges of a BRICS+ Agency for Cybersecurity Intelligence Exchange

The Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa (BRICS) nations lack a cohesive cybersecurity framework for intelligence exchange. The proposed expansion of the BRICS bloc calls for a BRICS+ agency dedicated to cybersecurity information sharing and analysis. Information Sharing and Analysis Centres (ISACs) are successful not-for-profit entities that centralise resources for gathering, analysing, and disseminating cybersecurity intelligence. However, founding a BRICS+ ISAC confronts challenges such as coordination complexity, financial constraints, trust deficits, linguistic diversity, and disparate legislative landscapes. This paper proposes a novel hybrid ISAC architectural model that amalgamates centralised and decentralised elements, presenting a tailored solution for the multifaceted needs of the expanding BRICS+ entity. The innovation of this model lies in its capacity to enhance cybersecurity resilience, promote efficient intelligence exchange, elevate the BRICS+ international standing, and solidify inter-nation collaboration, while being flexible enough to cater to the specific legal, cultural, and technological variances across member countries. The proposed model's uniqueness and adaptability position it as the premier choice for actualising the BRICS+ vision for a unified cyber front.

A non-hierarchical syncretic framework to assess environmental contaminants by interdisciplinary integration of geoscience methods and culturally-centred Indigenous knowledge exchange approaches

Different soil and water pollution sources around an undisclosed First Nation (The FN) in Northern Ontario (Canada) are linked by community health documents and oral histories to a cluster of blood cancer. The site's environmental hydrogeochemical records available are difficult to follow, whereas geophysical data reveals possible pathways of contaminants displayed as 3D maps of subsoil contrasting geoelectrical properties. Through an Indigenous Integrated Knowledge Translation (IIKT) strategy, we have co-constructed with The FN an interdisciplinary framework of non-hierarchical syncretic exchange between geoscience-based environmental engineering praxes and Indigenous Knowledge. The IIKT is articulated through Talking Circles of flexible multidirectional exchanges between The FN and the research team, to address community-identified needs and maintain qualitative and contextual value in the investigative agenda. The Talking Circles have guided our efforts to collect, handle, integrate, and understand hydrogeochemical and geophysical data. Thus, we build a culturally-appropriate knowledge base for self-sufficient environmental monitoring capacities with the community to ensure informed decisions about the land. The sustainability of the proposed framework relies on the non-invasiveness and low cost of the environmental/engineering tools used, the transparency of the community-driven results obtained, and its scalability to other Indigenous communities.
