Abstract. Mobile SLAM-based laser scanning is an efficient alternative to static capture. Using publicly available point clouds from a practical comparison, this study evaluates three different devices (NavVis VLX2, XGRIDS L2 Pro, and XGRIDS K1) in terms of their scan quality. The aim of the study is to conduct a scientifically sound and component-related evaluation of mobile laser scanning systems. To this end, the NavVis VLX2, XGRIDS L2 Pro, and XGRIDS K1 systems are compared using defined criteria based on established scan-to-BIM evaluation standards. The point clouds used as a basis were captured under identical conditions, enabling a direct comparison of quality. Six parameters were used for the evaluation: total score, geometric completeness and accuracy, object recognizability, intensity, deviations, and noise.Results: NavVis VLX2 confirms its status as a mature device with consistent quality. Based on the available comparative data, XGRIDS L2 Pro is technically and economically promising—RTK integration, local processing, and higher point density. The compact XGRIDS K1 is suitable for smaller scenarios but is limited in terms of range and homogeneity.Since peer-reviewed evidence on XGRIDS is still scarce, this work contributes to the systematic evaluation of raw data based on defined criteria. It also provides a solid foundation for rigorous, component-oriented benchmarking of mobile laser scanning systems and supports researchers and practitioners in selecting suitable technologies.

The paper presents an approach to solving the problem of creep of the nuclear reactor fuel rod cladding under the conditions of its contact interaction with the fixing element using a specially developed user subroutine for the finite element analysis software. The cases of time-invariant and cyclic loading, which is caused by the action of the flow washing the fuel, are considered. The problem is solved on the basis of a full three-dimensional formulation, materials with isotropy of creep-damage properties are considered. In the case of analysis of cyclic deformation with accumulation of hidden damage, amplitude contact stresses and stresses arising during forced oscillations of the fuel rod are taken into account. To take into account the processes of accumulation of hidden damage due to creep, a specially developed subroutine is used to add to the calculation scheme the function of integration in time of the evolution equation for the scalar damage parameter. In this subroutine, in the case of taking into account the cyclic loading, a transition to the equivalent creep problem is also performed, obtained by using the method of two time scales and averaging over the period, the stress cycle asymmetry functions are determined for each integration point of the finite element model. The results of numerical simulation of the creep of the fuel cladding when it is in contact with the fixing element for the case of static and dynamic creep are obtained. The cladding material is zirconium alloy. In the case of taking into account cyclic loading, a significant acceleration of creep processes and accumulation of hidden damage and a reduction in the time to the occurrence of a macroscopic defect are demonstrated. The place of its occurrence is determined, which corresponds to the inner surface of the fuel cladding opposite the location of the fixing element.

Background. Presented as a response to unmet social needs and a way toward a more equitable, sustainable, and healthier society, social prescribing (SP) is gaining international attention. However, it also faces challenges and criticisms, particularly regarding its evidence base, implementation processes, and relevance across diverse contexts. To date, little is known about its compatibility with preventive occupational therapy, notably with Lifestyle Redesign (LR), a landmark intervention that shares similarities with SP. Purpose. To synthesize knowledge about SP, its areas of compatibility and tension, as well as its linkages with LR. Key issues. While evidence regarding SP is conflicting, a critical examination of its connection with LR could help better meet the complex and evolving needs of older adults, especially those facing structural or social marginalization. Given their affinities, SP and LR present several promising points of integration, including: (1) offering LR within social prescription, (2) assigning a dedicated SP navigator to LR, and (3) positioning occupational therapists as SP navigators. Implications. Linking social prescribing and LR could contribute to tackling global public health priorities such as loneliness, social isolation, and chronic diseases, while advancing knowledge and practices that empower occupational therapists to address social determinants of health.

English learning in Indonesian higher education has often been constrained by surface approaches that prioritize memorization and exam preparation over meaningful engagement with language. Such conditions create a pressing need to re-examine how teaching and learning can shift toward deeper and more sustainable practices. This study aimed to address that issue by asking two central questions: how do Indonesian university students experience English learning when framed in terms of surface and deep approaches, and how might deep learning frameworks be adapted to local educational and cultural conditions. The article employed a theoretical review design, drawing on selected literature that connects theories of surface and deep learning with studies on English language education in Asia, with particular attention to Indonesia. Sources were analyzed thematically to trace recurring arguments, tensions, and possible points of integration across existing frameworks. The review revealed that while surface approaches remain embedded through assessment systems and hierarchical classroom cultures, theoretical models of deep learning can be reshaped by drawing on local values such as collective identity and respect for authority. These findings contribute to theory by extending deep learning beyond its Western-centered framing, and they offer practical direction for curriculum design that balances institutional demands with student aspirations. The study recommends further research on classroom-based practices that can operationalize these adapted models in ways that remain contextually grounded.

Topicality. Fraudulent activities on the Ethereum blockchain pose a substantial risk to decentralized finance and require capable models not only to respond to already detected abuses but also to identify suspicious accounts proactively before losses escalate. The subject of study is the application of graph and temporal neural models to the task of classifying Ethereum accounts as benign or fraudulent, considering the structural relationships between addresses and the temporal dynamics of transactions. The purpose of this article is to develop and experimentally evaluate a neural architecture based on a multilayer perceptron as a baseline component for the subsequent integration of graph and temporal mechanisms, and to analyze its performance on the open Ethereum Fraud Detection dataset, which features a high-class imbalance. The following results were obtained. A baseline deep model for binary account classification was constructed using feature preprocessing, stratified data splitting, class weight balancing, L2 regularization, Dropout, and early stopping, which enabled the achievement of an ROC AUC value of approximately 0.98 under conditions of a pronounced dominance of the safe class. A detailed analysis of the confusion matrix and the precision, recall, and F1 metrics demonstrated an acceptable trade-off between reducing false positives and minimizing the proportion of missed fraudulent accounts, which is critical for real-world financial scenarios. Conclusion. The results indicate that a properly designed baseline neural model on tabular features can ensure high-quality proactive identification of fraudulent Ethereum accounts and serve as a starting point for further integration of graph and temporal architectures aimed at improving interpretability and robustness to the evolution of malicious behavior patterns.

Indigenous peoples in Colombia face an elevated risk of experiencing spiritual disharmonies, a term used by Indigenous communities to describe mental health challenges, due to a range of factors, including barriers to accessing care and recovery systems, extractivist policies, armed conflict, food insecurity, and the erosion of cultural identity, among others. These risks are more effectively addressed when elements of Indigenous cultural practices are integrated into biomedical care processes. This study aimed to analyze the role of cultural practices in the management of public mental health in two Indigenous communities from the Colombian Amazon and Pacific regions. Using a qualitative study design with an epistemological approach grounded in contextual constructivism, we conducted a thematic analysis and identified a central theme: "Culture as the foundation for managing public mental health." This theme encompassed categories such as "Structural Competence in the Biomedical Health System" and "Ancestral Practices for Recovery." The ancestral knowledge and practices of Colombia's Indigenous peoples can contribute to a deeper, culturally sensitive understanding of spiritual disharmonies, offering potential points of integration with biomedical health systems that are tailored to each community. This culturally informed perspective supports more effective approaches to expanding access to integrated care systems that not only address mental health concerns but also tackle the social determinants underlying these disharmonies.

Integral points of Shimura varieties: An “all or nothing” principle

Abstract Studying Manin's program for a family of spherical log Fano threefolds, we determine the asymptotic number of integral points whose height associated with an arbitrary ample line bundle is bounded. This confirms a recent conjecture by Santens and sheds new light on the logarithmic analog of Iitaka fibrations, which have not yet been adequately formulated.

Corvaja and Zannier asked whether a smooth projective integral variety with a dense set of rational points over a number field satisfies the weak Hilbert property. We introduce an extension of the weak Hilbert property for schemes over arithmetic base rings by considering near-integral points, extending Corvaja–Zannier’s question beyond the projective case. Building on work of Bary-Soroker–Fehm–Petersen and Corvaja–Demeio–Javanpeykar–Lombardo–Zannier, we prove several properties of this more general notion, in particular its persistence under products. We also answer positively Corvaja–Zannier’s question for all algebraic groups over finitely generated fields of characteristic zero.

Modern supply chains are becoming more complex and therefore require data-driven decisions when it comes to warehouses' agility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. This article is a systematic outline of how the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) can be exploited to its analytical power to optimize the performance of the warehouse, in many aspects of its operation. The framework incorporates five interconnected elements, namely data foundation, analytic capabilities, process integration, performance measurement, and continuous improvement mechanisms. The framework helps form feedback loops of systematic optimization between analytical insight and operational process through identifying key points of analytics integration throughout warehouse processes between receiving and shipping. The implementation of various warehouse settings has shown long-term performance efficiencies with analytical competencies that are not in line with the functioning procedures and also the organizational designs. The framework fills the gap between the abstract analytic concepts and the actual warehouse operations to give realistic advice to organizations that want to turn warehouse management into an activity of constant execution, but rather dynamic and learning based optimization.

The present work investigates the application and optimization of exponential finite element (EFE) shape functions in phase-field modeling of fracture in orthotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs), which present challenges due to their combined anisotropy and spatially varying properties. While EFE shape functions offer improved accuracy in capturing steep stress gradients and complex crack patterns, their use typically involves a high computational cost due to dense numerical integration requirements. This study addresses this limitation by systematically optimizing the integration point density required for accurate and efficient EFE-based simulations. Two benchmark classes of problems are considered: (i) an L-shaped panel specimen exhibiting mixed-mode crack propagation, and (ii) edge-cracked orthotropic FGMs with varying material orientations and gradation patterns. Through these examples, we explore the tradeoff between solution accuracy and computational cost, comparing EFE performance against standard linear finite elements (LFE) and high-resolution reference solutions. Notably, this is the first study to apply EFE shape functions in the context of orthotropic fracture modeling. The results establish both the viability of EFEs for such complex materials and the effectiveness of an adaptive integration strategy, thereby making EFE-based phase-field models more computationally practical for real-world applications.

The aim of this research is to analyze the cross-cultural communication strategy employed by the Hotel Kristal Jakarta management in managing the cultural shock phenomenon among regular expatriate customers of Satu Lagi Bar. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation from expatriates, hotel staff, and hotel management representatives. The study employs Edward T. Hall's High-Context and Low-Context Cultures theoretical notion, Berry's Acculturation Strategy, as well as the W-Curve Model of cultural adaptation. The findings reveal that Hotel Kristal's management has formulated three key strategies: (1) staff cultural sensitivity training to develop intercultural awareness and communication competence; (2) staff communication strategies—verbal and non-verbal—employed to successfully communicate with expatriates; and (3) creation of a Third Culture Space at Satu Lagi Bar where foreign and local communities' values are reconciled. With these approaches, cultural shock in expatriates was significantly reduced, leading to easier social adjustment, emotional ease, and long-term customer loyalty. The study asserts that Hotel Kristal's cross-cultural communication approach is successful because it manages to make the bar a point of social integration where inclusiveness and intercultural sensitivity are possible within a multicultural hospitality environment.

Family is the fundamental institution in shaping a prosperous society; however, it currently faces numerous challenges. Statistics indicate a declining marriage rate, a rising number of divorces, and an alarming increase in social crimes within the community. These issues necessitate a re-examination of the concept of family well-being, which serves as the foundation for building a civilized and morally upright society. The primary objective of this study is to identify and analyze the concept of family well-being from the perspectives of Islam, the West and Malaysia Madani. This research adopts a qualitative approach using content analysis of both primary and secondary sources. Content analysis is chosen as it allows the researcher to systematically identify and analyze the concept of family well-being, in order to trace the similarities, differences, and points of integration among the Islamic, Western, and Malaysia Madani perspectives. This study finds that the concept of family well-being in Islam is the most comprehensive, as it is grounded in divine revelation and encompasses both worldly and eternal well-being. Islam emphasizes that the foundation of well-being begins with faith, ṣaliḥ actions and good character, supported by the preservation of the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah—namely the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. In contrast, the Western perspective on well-being focuses more on psychological well-being and self-actualization, while the Malaysia Madani framework emphasizes social policies and the welfare of citizens. Both can be seen as complementary to the broader framework of family well-being. Nevertheless, the Islamic paradigm remains central, as it integrates material, emotional, and social well-being with divine blessings and the pursuit of Allah’s pleasure, thereby ensuring not only happiness in this world but also lasting well-being in the Hereafter.

Abstract We introduce a new quadratic Chabauty method to compute the integral points on certain even degree hyperelliptic curves. Our approach relies on a nontrivial degree zero divisor supported at the two points at infinity to restrict the p -adic height to a linear function; we can then express this restriction in terms of holomorphic Coleman integrals under the standard quadratic Chabauty assumption. Then we use this linear relation to extract the integral points on the curve. We also generalize our method to integral points over number fields. Our method is significantly simpler and faster than all other existing versions of the quadratic Chabauty method. We give examples over ℚ and $$\mathbb{Q(\sqrt{7})}$$ Q ( 7 ) .

Academic motivation among students has been widely researched and is a topic of global concern in education. This article develops a faith-integrated perspective on this topic by synthesizing findings from a review of literature related to academic motivation, religious motivation, Christian higher education, and theology. One aim of this research was to fill a gap in existing literature, as faith is not often considered in academic motivation studies. The approach integrated faith with prominent academic motivation theories, which include achievement goal theory, attribution theory, expectancy-value theory, self-determination theory, and social cognitive theory. One notable point of integration was the connection between calling and motivation. A sense of calling can help students, both intrinsically and extrinsically, set meaningful and purposeful faith-based goals, overcome challenges, stay motivated through helping others, and build self-efficacy. A faith-integrated perspective on academic motivation has implications for Christian higher education, which include nurturing a sense of calling in students and fostering community through relatedness.

Efforts to lower the barriers for 5G uptake have brought forth accelerated innovation rates in a wide range of verticals. Consequently, the demands for 5G experimentation facilities have recently emerged from small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and 3rd party developers, requiring the abstraction of the complexities of the underlying infrastructure, platform, and related management and orchestration (MANO) systems, especially in multi-domain scenarios. This paper proposes a novel approach towards cross-domain service orchestration, which combines the flexibility of supporting different 5G Service Orchestrators (SOs) in various domains, while preserving compatibility through NetApps. The Cross-domain Service Orchestrator (CDSO) is based on ETSI’s Open Source MANO (OSM), with a Requests Handler module on top, which acts as the main integration point to the different domains’ 5G SOs and other custom systems that are northbound. This would facilitate the interworking among independently orchestrated domains in supporting multi-domain services. The EU Horizon 2020 project, 5GMediaHUB, is presented as a use case, together with a first implementation of the Requests Handler and corresponding integrations. Nonetheless, the proposed approach is vertical-agnostic and is foreseen to accelerate service innovation and digitalization in any industry by laying the foundations in terms of service management and interconnectivity.

Abstract The characteristics of microstructure morphology of micro‐heterogeneous materials may vary over the macroscopic length scale and thus result in macroscopically distributed, uncertain material properties. Hence, multiscale approaches for the structural analysis of such materials, for example, in terms of the ‐method, should not be based on a single representative volume element. In this contribution a method is proposed, which considers different, artificial statistically similar volume elements at each macroscopic integration point which mimic the microstructure variability of the real material as a random field. For this purpose, the microstructure variation of the real material is quantified first in terms of the distribution of a scalar measure containing deviations of statistical measures of higher order, and then this distribution is used to construct a set of artificial microstructures to be used as volume elements within the multiscale simulation. To avoid manual discretization of the large amount of statistically similar volume elements, the finite cell method is combined with concurrent computational homogenization following the ‐method. The proposed method is demonstrated for two examples, a simpler tensile experiment for testing purposes and a simplified, idealized deep drawing process.

Abstract Let be a smooth irreducible quasi‐projective algebraic variety over a number field . Suppose is equipped with a ‐adic étale local system compatible with an admissible graded‐polarized variation of mixed Hodge structures on the complex analytification of . We prove that the ‐integral points in are covered by subpolynomially many geometrically irreducible ‐subvarieties, each lying in a fiber of the mixed period mapping arising from the variation of mixed Hodge structures. This is based on recent works by Brunebarbe–Maculan and Ellenberg–Lawrence–Venkatesh. As an application, we prove that there are subpolynomially many ‐integral Laurent polynomials with fixed reflexive Newton polyhedron and fixed non‐zero principal ‐determinant. Our results answer a question asked by Ellenberg–Lawrence–Venkatesh.
