How We See Changes How We Feel: Investigating the Effect of Visual Point-of-View on Decision-Making in VR Environments

Virtual reality (VR) can immerse users into engaging experiences, affording opportunities to study behaviour in simulated contexts such as decision-making processes. However, methodological research into designing meaningful VR experiences - experiences that promote appreciation and deeper understanding of a work - is still underdeveloped. In this two-part study, we investigate how visual point-of-view (POV) in VR impacts feelings of meaningfulness and empathy as well as objective decision-making processes. Our study revolves around a VR application that situates users in moral dilemmas from three different POVs. Data from the choices made is augmented with self-reported subjective data. We find that, from different POVs, users' subjective feelings do show change; users show greater empathy for virtual agents and have an increasingly meaningful experience from a first-person perspective, even if this is not always reflected in changes in their decisions. Finally, we discuss the implications of our findings in the context of VR application design.

Pulses as Sustainable Protein Sources: Benefits, Drawbacks, and Gaps

Abstract: Pulses have redeemed the interest in terms of a sustainable and healthy diet due to their high protein content. Furthermore, the vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals they contain also make them more valuable nutritionally. A sustainable diet should improve public health and food security and has a low environmental footprint. Pulses have been considered one of the emerging plant food proteins. Although they have beneficial components such as vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and antioxidants, many drawbacks limit their use to consumers and the food industry. One of the drawbacks is their incomplete proteins due to the lack of sulfur-containing amino acids in their protein profile. Furthermore, the protein digestibility of pulses is low due to the antinutritional compounds they contain. The other drawback of pulses is their beany flavor and bitter taste that limits the acceptability of consumers. From the consumer's point of view, the other disadvantage is the laborious and timeconsuming preparation period. : This article provides a concise overview of the current state of knowledge on pulses as sustainable protein sources, underlining the gaps that limit their extensive application in the food industry. Based on the available scientific facts on pulses, finding an efficient method for removing beany flavor and overall sensorial acceptability and antinutritional factors, thus increasing protein digestibility is crucial. The most promising option to increase pulse protein digestibility seems to combine conventional and novel technologies that can modulate digestibility by different mechanisms, such as the removal of antinutritional factors, protein denaturation, and the design of the food matrix.

Mechanism-Guided Rational Design of Anode Coatings for Aqueous Zinc Ion Batteries.

Aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) hold promises as a safer, more cost-effective, and environmental-friendly alternative to lithium-ion batteries, especially for stationary energy storage. Recent advancements in protective anode coatings, which fine-tune zinc ion solvation structure, have yielded significant improvements in the aqueous ZIB performance, addressing dendrite formation and side reactions, thereby prolonging cycle lifetime. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of these coatings as ions sieves is crucial for further optimization and achieving long-term stability, which is a key requirement for practical applications. This concept explores recent developments in ZIB anode coatings from the view of molecular mechanisms and points out future research directions.

Adolescence in the life course spotlight.

The articles in this special issue were inspired by the late John Schulenberg's long view of adolescence, a perspective that emphasizes the integral role that the teens and twenties play in the life course. Using multiple longitudinal data sources to explore myriad developmental topics, the authors delve into the ways that adolescence connects, disrupts, and stands out from childhood and adulthood as a means of integrating rather than isolating these developmentally dense years. In this commentary, I highlight what this collection of studies does to drive home some basic tenets of the long view of adolescence and point out some other tenets that should garner more attention moving forward. Specifically, I discuss the need to connect multiple periods of life before and after adolescence, voice some caution about not letting the long view of adolescence keep us from continuing our in-depth exploration of adolescence itself, and encourage more macro-level conceptualizations of context to go with more common micro- and meso-level connections in order to better interrogate inequality. John's career has taught us a great deal about how to think about adolescent development, and just because he left us too soon does not mean that we will stop learning.

The problem of proving the use and non-use of a trademark arises in the context of disputes on revocation of a Ukrainian trademark certificate

The article contains a practical analysis of the challenges faced by parties in Ukrainiancourt when proving the use or non-use of a trademark in a dispute on the revocation (earlytermination) of the Ukrainian trademark certificate. From the theoretical and practical pointof view, the problem arises due to the absence of a direct legal provision and well-establishedcourt practice regarding the sufficient scope and manners of a trademark use, when each ofthe parties must prove the opposite facts before the court — use and non-use of the trademarkin question. Thus, the essence of such litigation revolves around the plaintiff’s need to provethe non-use and the defendant’s need to prove the use of the trademark in question. In general,the following questions arise: Is the trademark certificate owner (the defendant) obliged touse the trademark to label goods (proving its real, genuine use) for each good under the Niceclassification? Additionally, how many of the manners of using the trademark, as listed inlaw, are sufficient to confirm real (genuine) use? These questions arise in every court case,since this is not directly regulated in the laws of Ukraine. Consequently, the parties oftenrefer to Article 198 of the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine regarding«genuine use» as opposed to «formal/symbolic use» of the trademark.In a result of conducted research and made analysis, it appears that the subject of proof insuch cases is the defendant’s (or licensee’s) use (or non-use) of the trademark for eachgood/service listed in the trademark certificate, and the use must be demonstrated in at leastone of the manners listed in Art. 16(4) of the Law of Ukraine «On Protection of Rights toMarks for Goods and Services» dated 15.12.1993 No.3689-XII. Therefore, a proper and admissibleevidence of trademark use may include presenting the court with the labeled good, aswell as any documents, writings, papers, which demonstrate use of a trademark in, at least,one manner per each good/service for which a trademark is registered. Article contains withextracts from the numerous court decisions to provide for examples of written documents,submitted by parties in alike cases, as evidence of trademark use (non-use). Theoretical conclusionsand practical recommendations are summarized based on analysed court decisions.

The Main Body and Legal Basis of American Graduate Degree Awarding Authority

The right to confer postgraduate degrees is involved a key measure to universities and its students. Nations in the world pay a very high attention to postgraduate education and play it core role. As we known, U.S. has rich resources and great influences in the field of higher education worldwide. And there are many students from all over the world to enroll American universities to study for master or doctor degree. Although the degree is divided into curriculum and paper degree, the quality of both are strictly regulated and guaranteed in the United States. The main body has become different types of universities and diversity pattern in the course of developing. The right to award degree was struggled by universities in the development of history, and it is a part of its charter. In the process, the legitimacy of awarding degree gradually was established. As so far, it is known as an important measure for the development of universities and students. There are different bodies of the right to grant graduate degrees in American universities, and the methods of obtaining graduate degrees are also different. How to ensure that the right to confer university degrees is not affected by the government and its actions? This paper will explicit from the point view of legal basis.

Reexamining the Kuleshov effect: Behavioral and neural evidence from authentic film experiments.

Film cognition explores the influence of cinematic elements, such as editing and film color, on viewers' perception. The Kuleshov effect, a famous example of how editing influences viewers' emotional perception, was initially proposed to support montage theory through the Kuleshov experiment. This effect, which has since been recognized as a manifestation of point-of-view (POV) editing practices, posits that the emotional interpretation of neutral facial expressions is influenced by the accompanying emotional scene in a face-scene-face sequence. However, concerns persist regarding the validity of previous studies, often employing inauthentic film materials like static images, leaving the question of its existence in authentic films unanswered. This study addresses these concerns by utilizing authentic films in two experiments. In Experiment 1, multiple film clips were captured under the guidance of a professional film director and seamlessly integrated into authentic film sequences. 59 participants viewed these face-scene-face film sequences and were tasked with rating the valence and emotional intensity of neutral faces. The findings revealed that the accompanying fearful or happy scenes significantly influence the interpretation of emotion on neutral faces, eliciting perceptions of negative or positive emotions from the neutral face. These results affirm the existence of the Kuleshov effect within authentic films. In Experiment 2, 31 participants rated the valence and arousal of neutral faces while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The behavioral results confirm the Kuleshov effect in the MRI scanner, while the neural data identify neural correlates that support its existence at the neural level. These correlates include the cuneus, precuneus, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, post cingulate gyrus, orbitofrontal cortex, fusiform gyrus, and insula. These findings also underscore the contextual framing inherent in the Kuleshov effect. Overall, the study integrates film theory and cognitive neuroscience experiments, providing robust evidence supporting the existence of the Kuleshov effect through both subjective ratings and objective neuroimaging measurements. This research also contributes to a deeper understanding of the impact of film editing on viewers' emotional perception from the contemporary POV editing practices and neurocinematic perspective, advancing the knowledge of film cognition.

Az állami és nem állami szereplők újragondolt szerepe a biztonság megteremtésében és fenntartásában.

Összefoglalás. A KDP keretén belül végzett kutatómunkám fókuszában a biztonság megteremtése és fenntartása állami és nem állami szereplői tevékenységének jelenkori állapotanalízise, a komplementer rendészeti szereplők rendészeti szerveket tehermentesítő, nemzetgazdasági szempontból is meghatározó jelentőségű vizsgálata áll. Jelen tanulmányomban az ezzel megegyező tartalmú PhD-kutatásom eredményeiről számolok be, kutatási jelentés formájában. Summary. The focus of my research within the framework of the KDP is the analysis of the current state of the activities of state and non-state actors in the creation and maintenance of security, and the analysis of the role of complementary law enforcement actors in relieving the burden on law enforcement agencies, which is of crucial importance from a national economic point of view. In this paper I report the results of my PhD research with the same content in the form of a research report. I will point out that law enforcement, and thus the state actors in the creation of our security, and in particular the activities of the police, have been and are being dealt with in many different ways. However, only a small number of police researchers have focused their attention on non-state actors in the field of security, on the specialised bodies and ‘peripheries’ of policing, and on the use of methods other than those that might be called traditional policing. The joint work of state and non-state actors, the complementary and mutually reinforcing role of the police in creating and maintaining our common security, and the possibility of rethinking the respective roles are also areas that have been little researched. My PhD research seeks to fill this gap, bearing in mind the fact that law enforcement practitioners expect the Doctoral School of Police Studies to provide recommendations for applied research that can be used in everyday practice. In my gap-filling research, I will explore my research questions and hypotheses in an unconventional way by drawing on what I consider to be relevant, almost half a thousand domestic and foreign source materials, personal interviews, study trips and the experience of an expert survey. I will reflect on the significance of private security research and then move back in time to examine the development of the concept of policing over time. I will juxtapose key ideas from works that are perhaps little known to many, but which are still of great scientific value today. In a comparative analysis of state and non-state actors in the field of security, I will present the actors of complementary policing, the ‘stepchildren of policing’, and I will focus on the experience of the domestic organisation of a major sporting event, EURO2020, which attracts large crowds. Internationally, I will look at the development of the public and private security sectors in Estonia, Mexico, South Africa, Australia, Bulgaria, England and Canada, and the activities of private military companies. On the basis of all these research experiences, I will interpret the functioning of the security industry, the value added by private security and thus the new structure of policing in the light of the “Security Rethought” questionnaire survey. Based on my research, I will attempt to unpack and explain the mechanisms of the relationship between state and non-state actors in the creation and maintenance of security. By interpreting the path to date and suggesting a possible future, I try to combine an academic approach with the knowledge that emerges from the work of practitioners. Emphasising the scientific need for change and improvement, and the fusion of dogmatics and practice, I seek, in the framework of this research, to address some of the issues that I consider controversial and, as a result of this confrontation, to stimulate further research and the development of alternative solutions for those who are open to the development of the emerging science of policing, by setting out the legislative and theoretical problems of the subject.

Continuous-Time Reinforcement Learning Control: A Review of Theoretical Results, Insights on Performance, and Needs for New Designs.

This exposition discusses continuous-time reinforcement learning (CT-RL) for the control of affine nonlinear systems. We review four seminal methods that are the centerpieces of the most recent results on CT-RL control. We survey the theoretical results of the four methods, highlighting their fundamental importance and successes by including discussions on problem formulation, key assumptions, algorithm procedures, and theoretical guarantees. Subsequently, we evaluate the performance of the control designs to provide analyses and insights on the feasibility of these design methods for applications from a control designer's point of view. Through systematic evaluations, we point out when theory diverges from practical controller synthesis. We, furthermore, introduce a new quantitative analytical framework to diagnose the observed discrepancies. Based on the analyses and the insights gained through quantitative evaluations, we point out potential future research directions to unleash the potential of CT-RL control algorithms in addressing the identified challenges.

Suicidal ideation in adolescence: an explanation from three of its associated variables in Bogotá, 2009

Objective: To determine the relationship between hopelessness, loneliness and the level of family health in school-age adolescents with and without suicidal ideation to deepen in the knowledge of this phenomenon from a nursing point of view and to pose promotion and prevention options in Bogotá, Colombia. Method: This was a cross-sectional, comparative, correlational, descriptive and quantitative study. The sample was selected in the period between February and April 2009, through mixed sampling and 482 school-attending 14-17 year-old adolescents were included. Widely recognized and highly qualified psychometric tools were used to measure the variables concerned. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate statistic analysis were used to describe the behavior of each variable, to explore the relationships and contrasts between these variables and to estimate the effect of the independent variables on the presence of suicidal thoughts. This study has followed the ethical considerations necessary for research involving human beings.Results: 20% of the sample used reported the presence of suicidal thoughts or desires. All variables studied influence the presence of suicidal thoughts except age, socioeconomic strata, borough and type of school. However, with the use of logistic regression methods, the variables that best express the presence of suicidal thoughts are: previous suicide attempt, low self-esteem, depression and belonging to an unhealthy family.Conclusions: Data on suicidal ideation and attempts made in this study support the idea of implementing greater preventive efforts within families and schools. Identifying adolescents at risk of suicide or mental health disorders, and build effective prevention and treatment programs is a priority.

Genetic polymorphism in waxweed (Red Book of the Russian Federation) in North-West Russia

BACKGROUND: Waxweed (Myrica gale L.) is a protected plant species found in the Russian Federation only in the Leningrad Region and Karelia. It is almost not studied from the genetic point of view. This species is presumably hexaploid; it propagates mainly vegetatively, and the role of sexual reproduction in the life cycle of waxweed is unclear. All waxweed populations in the Russian Federation are small and belong to the edge ones (occupy the easternmost positions in the range). AIM: The aim of the study is to investigate genomic DNA polymorphism in waxweed populations in the Russian Federation, and to evaluate the role of sexual reproduction in propagation and dispersal of this species. MATERIALS AND METHODS: AFLP-analysis of waxweed genomic DNA in 6 natural populations (5 populations in the Leningrad Region, 1 in Karelia). Using 3 pairs of primers, we studied waxweed genomic polymorphism for 22 DNA fragments. RESULTS: Each of the studied waxweed populations is genetically polymorphic. Among 182 analyzed plants we distinguished 27 different AFLP-genotypes, two of which were common in all populations studied. Most of others AFLP genotypes (20) were represented just by a single plant or a couple of plants. Some of these rare AFLP genotypes are likely the results of mutation and/or recombination processes affecting the common AFLP genotypes. CONCLUSIONS: The role of sexual reproduction in waxweed propagation, although minor, is noticeable.

Playful Trauma: TikTok Creators and the Use of the Platformed Body in Times of War

Amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, TikTok has emerged as a pivotal platform, where creators utilize its compressed video formats to mediate the harsh realities of war zones. In this article, we examine 97 videos produced by 12 Ukrainian and Russian TikTok creators in response to the 2022 war in Ukraine. We focus on the playful embodiment of trauma using digital ethnography, analyzing creators’ practices and their interconnected memetic communication on TikTok. We identified the use of play through three dynamic practices where platforms, bodies, and trauma converge: (1) the utilization of POV (point-of-view) aesthetic in shareable templates to convey the realities of war from engaging first-person perspectives; (2) the incorporation of dance as a means of embodied creative expression and amplification of trauma; and (3) the harnessing of platform features to facilitate whimsical dialogues with followers about life under war. We argue that playfulness is entrenched in and enacted through platform vernacular modes, driving creators to forge communal ties during adversities and shape the ongoing representation of trauma and its accelerated visibility in digital spaces. We present the concept of playful trauma as a framework for understanding the structural dissonance that arises when creators utilize their bodies alongside platform-specific humorous, ironic, or subversive dialects to perform and amplify the gravity of trauma. This tension provides a unique space for creators to convert their shared experiences of grief and resilience into participatory coping mechanisms. In doing so, they subject and harness their playful platformed body as both the medium and the message, documenting injustices, bearing witness, and galvanizing crowds into action during times of war.

Unexpected Properties of the Klein Configuration of 60 Points in P3

Felix Klein in course of his study of the regular icosahedron and its symmetries encountered a highly symmetric configuration of $60$ points in ${\mathbb P}^3$. This configuration has appeared in various guises, perhaps post notably as the configuration of points dual to the $60$ reflection planes in the group $G_{31}$ in the Shephard-Todd list. In the present note we show that the $60$ points exhibit interesting properties relevant from the point of view of two paths of research initiated recently. Firstly, they give rise to two completely different unexpected surfaces of degree $6$. Unexpected hypersurfaces have been introduced by Cook II, Harbourne, Migliore, Nagel in 2018. One of unexpected surfaces associated to the configuration of $60$ points is a cone with a single singularity of multiplicity $6$ and the other has three singular points of multiplicities $4,2$ and $2$. Secondly, Chiantini and Migliore observed in 2020 that there are non-trivial sets of points in ${\mathbb P}^3$ with the surprising property that their general projection to ${\mathbb P}^2$ is a complete intersection. They found a family of such sets, which they called grids. An appendix to their paper describes an exotic configuration of $24$ points in ${\mathbb P}^3$ which is not a grid but has the remarkable property that its general projection is a complete intersection. We show that the Klein configuration is also not a grid and it projects to a complete intersections. We identify also its proper subsets, which enjoy the same property. \

Research Progress and Prospect on Profile Roll Forming Methods and Equipment

Abstract: In recent years, with the development of aerospace, automotive, rolling stock, shipbuilding, military weapons and other industries, the demand for bent and rolled parts is increasing, and the requirements for roll forming accuracy are growing. With the rapid development of coal power, hydropower, nuclear power, wind power, and petrochemical industries, the design and research on roll bending machine and the profile roll forming methods have come into focus. The purpose of this study is to summarize the classification and characteristics of roll bending equipment, analyze the reasons that affect the accuracy of profile bending, and propose specific solutions. This paper summarizes the research status and patents on the existing roll bending equipment, introduces its structural characteristics, differences, and molding effects, and focuses on the difficulties, optimization, and improvement methods of roll bending molding. In this paper, the mechanical structures of the existing roll forming equipment have been analyzed and compared, the effects of different roll forming equipment on the profile bending results have been determined, and the reasons affecting the bending accuracy have been pointed out. By summarizing the patents and research on profile roll forming methods and equipment, the current situation and future research prospects of roll forming equipment are discussed. The roll forming equipment is divided into a roll bending machine, a CNC roll bending machine, and a flexible roll bending machine. Each design can meet different profile processing needs. From the design point of view, the optimization under the given processing profile can achieve relatively high processing accuracy. However, the processing of different profiles will still produce geometric defects, and there is some space for improvement in the structure of roll forming equipment, the materials of processing rollers, and the NC interactive system. Thus, further research on profile roll forming is needed in the future.

Direct imaging of exoplanets: Legacy and prospects

Understanding how giant and terrestrial planets form and evolve, what is their internal structure and that of their atmosphere, represents one of the major challenges of modern astronomy, which is directly connected to the ultimate search for life at the horizon 2030–2050. However, several astrophysical (understanding of the formation and physics of giant and terrestrial exoplanets), biological (identification of the best biomarkers) and technological (technical innovations for the new generations of telescopes and instruments) obstacles must be overcome. From the astrophysical point of view, it is indeed crucial to understand the mechanisms of formation and evolution of giant planets, including planet and disk interactions, which will completely sculpt the planetary architectures and thus dominate the formation of terrestrial planets, especially in regions around the host star capable of supporting life. It is also important to develop dedicated instrumentation and techniques to study in their totality the population of giant and terrestrial planets, but also to reveal in the near future the first biological markers of life in the atmospheres of terrestrial planets. In that perspective, direct imaging from ground-based observatories or in space is playing a central role in concert with other observing techniques. In this paper, I will briefly review the genesis of this observing technique, the main instrumental innovation and challenges, stellar targets and surveys, to then present the main results obtained so far about the physics and the mechanisms of formation and evolution of young giant planets and planetary system architectures. I will then present the exciting perspectives offered by the upcoming generation of planet imagers about to come online, particularly on the future extremely large telescopes. On the timescale of a human Life, we may well be witnessing the first discovery of an exoplanet and the first detection of indices of life in the atmosphere of a nearby exo-Earth!

Design of SWRO Desalination Plant for Nuclear Research Center

Libya has an infinite water resource available inthe coastal towns and cities being located on Mediterranean Sea with 1950km coast. Therefore, the need for desalinatedwater for Nuclear Research Center NRC located in Tajurais currently about 1200 m3/day. To cover the center presentand future water needs for research and developmentactivities, two thermal sea water desalination plants have been assembled in the site. One of the plants uses MultiStage Flash technology and the other one uses Multi EffectDesalination technology with capacity of 1200m/day eachone. Detailed design for 1200m3/day seawater reverseosmosis SWRO unit is carried out using ROSA S oftware to make the technical comparison with other MSF and MEDunits. The unit labeled an S W30XLE-440i by the results ofthe Software is selected since it required the lower feedpressure of 55.5bar and highest salt recovery of 45% with total dissolved solid of 190ppm. From the technical point ofview, the study showed that SWRO required lower seawater inlet flow rate than MSF and MED. The unitsefficiency are 43%, 10.5% and 25% for SWRO, MSF, andMED, respectively. Further the Product quality TDS 190ppm for RO unit is suitable for drinking water, whilethose of MSF and MED 50ppm. Energy consumption asheating steam is not required for the S WRO unit; however,a steam flow rate 7.3m 3/hr is required by MSF and MEDunits. These make SWRO unit friendlier to the environment and most proper technically under these situations.
