This chapter focuses on the professionals who left schools with their cargoes-students and communities. It illustrates the great variety of positions that former young teachers take, from starting youth organizations to having nonprofits, supporting literacy, and after school activities. In this chapter, using typical and anecdotal examples, author...

Anemia during pregnancy is a prevalent concern, with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and thalassemia trait (TT) being two common causes. Differentiating between these conditions is crucial for effective management, as IDA requires iron supplementation, while TT does not. The Mentzer Index (MI) is a simple, cost-effective tool used to distinguish betwe...

Mediation models are often conducted in psychology to understand mechanisms and processes of change. However, current best practices for handling missing data in mediation models are not always used by researchers. Missing data methods, such as full information maximum likelihood (FIML) and multiple imputation (MI), are best practice methods of han...

Viscoelastic (VE) dampers are capable of dissipating energy over a variety of input vibration frequencies. They supplement both displacement‐ and velocity‐dependent restoring forces, thus, provide both stiffness and damping to the structure. For this, they are able to effectively mitigate both frequently occurring wind loads and seismic forces. The...

The purposes and uses of annual budgets have been questioned for decades. The meta-reporting and analysis of operational budget trends outside North America have been sparse and academically under-reported in the past 20 years. Innovations such as the rolling budget have challenged and/or supplemented traditional annual budgets, while organisations...

Purpose Prior work estimating sound exposure dose from earphone use has typically measured earphone use time with retrospective questionnaires or device-based tracking, both of which have limitations. This research note presents an exploratory analysis of sound exposure dose from earphone use among college-aged adults using real-ear measures to est...

A major concern of the strategy and innovation literature on platforms has been how complementors are affected by and respond to innovations in platform characteristics. We contribute to this research by examining how complementors choose their homing strategies in response to a platform innovation shock. We theorize that comparative adjustment and...

Light field (LF) cameras produce sub-aperture images that capture 3D scenes from multiple perspectives, containing both spatial and angular information. This information can be used to improve image super-resolution (SR). However, existing multi-view LF image SR methods neglect the correlation among all LF views, which is captured by the global-vie...

Economic criminal law, like common criminal law, is grounded on a set of principles that organize, systematize, justify, and legitimize it, establishing it as a strictly scientific and dogmatic discipline. Among its “permissive,” limiting, and legitimizing dogmatic principles are the principles of minimal intervention and ultima ratio, which define...

The aim of the research is a comprehensive study of the personality of the public figure, author of “The Tatar and Arabic Alphabet Primer” Niyat Baky Atnometev.

Therefore, the evaluation methods and means of street greening also need to be continuously refined and supplemented. From the perspective of dynamic perception, this article tak...

Man is the ultimate point of reference for every reality. It can be said that international law of the sea is shaped by treaties and custom. This is of course true. But these are created by someone’s actions. Someone influences the practice of their use, and also informs others what they are and how they should be interpreted. Someone can also lead...

Recently, a double-lined binary (SB2) classical Cepheid, OGLE-LMC-CEP-1347, was discovered, with the orbital period (P$_{\rm orb} = 59$ days) five times shorter than of any binary Cepheid known before. The expected mass of the Cepheid was below $3.5$ M$_\odot$, which, if confirmed, would also probe the uncharted territory. The system configuration...

The purpose of the study is to prove that polemics is a defining form of communication in the public discourse of the mid-19th century. It serves as a special marker of the era. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the semantics and usage of the lexeme "polemic" are the subject of analysis for the first time. The lexeme is miss...

Since 2013, the state has introduced a number of policies to strictly control the number and scale of public hospitals and to control the rapid expansion of public hospitals. After the introduction of this series of policies, the number of public hospitals in China did not continue to grow, but the number of beds in public hospitals continued to gr...

Artificial intelligent (AI) systems used in medicine are often very reliable and accurate, but at the price of their being increasingly opaque. This raises the question whether a system’s opacity undermines the ability of medical doctors to acquire knowledge on the basis of its outputs. We investigate this question by focusing on a case in which a...

Human skeleton information is important in skeleton-based action recognition, which provides a simple and efficient way to describe human pose. However, existing skeleton-based methods focus more on the skeleton, ignoring the objects interacting with humans, resulting in poor performance in recognizing actions that involve object interactions. We p...

In qualitative research, theme typically refers to an identified trend running through the data. Themes play a prominent role in interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) and may serve as a framework for presentation. Although comprehensive resources are available to guide researchers through stages of IPA analysis, there is far less informati...

The skills necessary to perform diagnostic perineural anesthesia in equids belongs to one of the Day One Competences of a veterinarian, so every veterinary graduate should be able to perform them correctly.
