Abstract:
The study aimed to reveal the effect of the infographic display style (fixed, animated, and interactive) on learning and retaining the vocabulary of the Noble Quran among third grade students. The study sample consisted of 112 male and female third grade students and were distributed into three groups the students’ learning test was designed to learn the vocabulary of the Noble Quran according to the approved standards, and a quasi-experimental design was used. The results showed that all infographic patterns (fixed, animated, and interactive) have an impact on learning the vocabulary of the Noble Quran, but this effect is not equal between the patterns, the most influential is the interactive pattern, then the animated pattern, then the fixed pattern, and the results showed that the three patterns (fixed, animated, and interactive) had an impact on retaining learning the vocabulary of the Noble Quran, and that there were no differences between the three patterns in retaining learning the vocabulary of the noble Quran, and the study indicated to a set of recommendations, including encouraging teachers to employ multiple methods in teaching the vocabulary of the Noble Quran.

Abstract:
Is firm behavior mainly driven by its environment or rather by the characteristics of its managers? We develop a cognitive theory of manager fixed effects, where the allocation of managerial attention determines firm behavior. We show that in complex environments, the endogenous allocation of attention exacerbates manager fixed effects. Small differences in managerial expertise then may result in dramatically different firm behavior, as managers devote scarce attention in a way that amplifies initial differences. In contrast, in less complex environments, the endogenous allocation of attention mitigates manager fixed effects. Firm owners prefer “managers with style” only in complex environments.

Abstract:
Textual style transfer is the task of transforming stylistic properties of text while preserving meaning. Target "styles" can be defined in numerous ways, ranging from single attributes (e.g. formality) to authorship (e.g. Shakespeare). Previous unsupervised style-transfer approaches generally rely on significant amounts of labeled data for only a fixed set of styles or require large language models. In contrast, we introduce a novel diffusion-based framework for general-purpose style transfer that can be flexibly adapted to arbitrary target styles at inference time. Our parameter-efficient approach, ParaGuide, leverages paraphrase-conditioned diffusion models alongside gradient-based guidance from both off-the-shelf classifiers and strong existing style embedders to transform the style of text while preserving semantic information. We validate the method on the Enron Email Corpus, with both human and automatic evaluations, and find that it outperforms strong baselines on formality, sentiment, and even authorship style transfer.

Abstract:
Learning and innovation are increasingly important for companies to compete in a global marketplace. Leaders are often in a position to exert significant influence on employees’ learning behaviors, and may also be able to foster learning from workplace errors. This cross-sectional research investigates the relationship between employee perceptions of leadership style, mindset (fixed vs. growth), and orientation to error learning. We examine five leadership styles – authentic, transformational, transactional, laissez-faire, and aversive leadership – and view them on an extended range, from more positive (authentic, transformational, and transactional) to more negative and destructive (laissez-faire and aversive). A sample of 268 participants completed an on-line survey of their leaders’ styles, as well as their own mindsets, and their reactions to workplace errors. Results suggest that authentic and transformational leadership styles foster more employee error learning than transactional leadership, while laissez-faire and aversive leadership styles are destructive in that they actively inhibit employee error learning. Somewhat surprisingly, laissez-faire leadership showed the strongest and most negative effect on a follower’s error learning orientation, although followers with fixed mindsets reported being less likely to learn from errors than followers with growth mindsets, regardless of leadership style. Our findings shed light on the relationship between leadership style and employee error learning, and suggest that negligent leadership may be particularly destructive for organizations that seek to foster a learning environment.

Abstract:
Responses to survey data are determined not only by item characteristics and respondents’ trait standings but also by response styles. Recently, methods for modeling response style with personality and attitudinal data have turned toward the use of anchoring vignettes, which provide fixed rating targets. Although existing research is promising, a few outstanding questions remain. First, it is not known how many vignettes and vignette ratings are necessary to identify response style parameters. Second, the comparative accuracy of these models is largely unexplored. Third, it remains unclear whether correcting for response style improves criterion validity. Both simulated data and data observed from a population-representative sample responding to a measure of personality pathology (the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 [PID-5]) were modeled using an array of response style models. In simulations, most models estimating response styles outperformed the graded response model (GRM), and in observed data, all response style models were superior to the GRM. Correcting for response style had a small, but in some cases significant, effect on the prediction of self-reported social dysfunction.

Abstract:
While language style is considered to be automatic and relatively stable, its plasticity has not yet been studied in translations that require the translator to “step into the shoes of another person.” In the present study, we propose a psychological model of language adaptation in translations. Focusing on an established interindividual difference marker of language style, that is, gender, we examined whether translators assimilate to the original gendered style or implicitly project their own gendered language style. In a preregistered study, we investigated gender differences in language use in TED Talks ( N = 1,647) and their translations ( N = 544) in same- versus opposite-gender speaker/translator dyads. The results showed that translators assimilated to gendered language styles even when in mismatch to their own gender. This challenges predominating views on language style as fixed and fosters a more dynamic view of language style as also being shaped by social context.

In order to overcome the difficulties in directly observing the analyzed funds portfolios’ durations, it is proposed a duration index built upon the Return Based Style Analysis developed by SHARPE (1992) using the principal components of the Anbima’s Constant Duration Indexes (IDkA) to evaluate the retirement funds monthly returns sensibility to the nominal and real interest rates curves. The obtained results do not show evidences that the funds exclusively linked to employer sponsored collective plans present longer durations than those linked to individual plans or notsponsored collective plans. On the other hand, funds classified as 'Target Date' stand out for presenting longer duration indexes when compared to funds classified as 'Fixed Income' or 'Balanced Portfolios' and show positive correlation with the target year of the fund. This suggest that policies aiming at treating the information set of the agent’s, both investors and portfolio managers, are able to modify the investments allocation. Information is sufficient to improve allocation<br>O objetivo deste estudo é analisar as durações das carteiras de renda fixa dos fundos previdenciários, que são paradoxalmente curtas em relação aos objetivos de longo prazo inerentes à previdência, e os eventuais efeitos dos incentivos de permanência existentes nos planos coletivos instituídos, como o custeio do instituidor e regras de desligamento – vesting – no alongamento dessas carteiras. Como forma de sobrepujar as dificuldades da observação direta dos prazos de alongamento das carteiras dos fundos analisados, foi proposto um índice de alongamento calcado na Análise de Estilo Baseada nos Retornos desenvolvida por SHARPE (1992) empregando-se as componentes principais dos Índices de Duração Constante da Anbima (IDkA) para a avaliação da sensibilidade dos retornos mensais dos fundos analisados às curvas de juros real e nominal. Os resultados obtidos não mostram evidências de que os fundos que recebem recursos exclusivamente de planos instituídos apresentem duração maior do que daqueles que recebem recursos de planos individuais e coletivos averbados. Por outro lado, os fundos classificados como 'Previdência Data Alvo' pela Anbima destacam-se por apresentar índices de alongamento maiores frente à média dos fundos classificados como 'Previdência Renda Fixa' ou 'Previdência Balanceado' e correlação positiva entre seus índices de alongamento e Ano Alvo do fundo, o que sugere que políticas que trabalhem o conjunto de informação dos agentes, investidores e gestores, são capazes de modificar a alocação dos investimentos. Basta informação para melhorar a alocação.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>科技管理研究所<br>96<br>The purpose of this study is to investigate the relevance between the behavior of fixed assets and firm’s performance in Taiwan’s technology industry during 1986 to 2006. The partial adjustment model was used to divide companies into four kinds of fixed asset behavior, and then added to other independent and interacting effect variables to the regression. This research found that firm performance is different when enterprises adopt different fixed asset behavior, furthermore, the interacting effect has an influence on performance. In the case of aggressive specialized types of enterprise, increasing financial leverage can reduce income tax expenses and improve ROA, but lower Tobin’s Q to the enterprise with high operating and high financial leverage. As towards stable specialized types of enterprises, the enterprises at the small size and fast growth stage will have higher ROA, but also a higher Tobin’s Q relative to larger enterprises and more mature firms at the big size and maturity stage. As to fast adjusting types of enterprise, high R&D makes operating expenses rise, and an unstable rate of change in operating income will reduce ROA, besides if the enterprises with low operating leverage can adopt higher financial leverage, the Tobin’s Q is better.

Abstract:
碩士<br>建國科技大學<br>電機工程系暨研究所<br>106<br>The crane is quite a huge and complex machine used exclusively for on-site operation. The work environment, needless to say, is less preferred to that of other jobs. As a result, the market has witnessed a shortage of crane operators for years. In view of this phenomenon, the Ministry of Labor has offered a variety of crane operation classes to meet market needs. In addition to learning a specific skill, certified technicians can enter the job market as well. The training course helps create more job opportunities for the unemployed people. According to the Ministry of Labor, there are a total of 139 identified professions across the whole job market in Taiwan. The present study dealt mainly with the Level 1 Crane Operation Certification conferred by the Ministry of Labor. For data analysis, this study implemented Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The data for analysis was based on the Level 1 Technician Certifications offered by the Taichung Vocational Training Center, an affiliation of Industry Safety and Health Association of the ROC. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the number of issued certifications and the age of certification receivers. It analyzed the age groups and the number of certifications. Grey entropy of the grey system was also applied in combination with the mathematical model for more objectivity. The TOPSIS analysis could therefore be more objective. The affecting weight of each age on the number of certifications was obtained through data calculation. This study can be referred to by forthcoming study and institutes concerned for better performance.

Abstract:
What does freedom sound like in the context of traditional Japanese theater? Where is the space for innovation, and where can this kind of innovation be located in the rigid instrumentation of the Noh drama? This book investigates flute performance as a space to explore the relationship between tradition and innovation. This first English-language monograph traces the characteristics of the Noh flute (nohkan), its music, and transmission methods and considers the instrument's potential for development in the modern world. The book examines the musical structure and nohkan melodic patterns of five traditional Noh plays and assesses the degree to which Issō School nohkan players maintain to this day the continuity of their musical traditions in three contemporary Noh plays influenced by William Butler Yeats. The book's ethnographic approach draws on interviews with performers and case studies, as well as the author's personal reflection as a nohkan performer and disciple under the tutelage of Noh masters. The book argues that traditions of musical style and usage remain influential in shaping contemporary Noh composition and performance practice, and the existing freedom within fixed patterns can be understood through a firm foundation in Noh tradition.

Abstract:
AbstractThe dominant state-of-the-art approach for solving bit-vector formulas in Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) is bit-blasting, an eager reduction to propositional logic. Bit-blasting is surprisingly efficient in practice but does not generally scale well with increasing bit-widths, especially when bit-vector arithmetic is present. In this paper, we present a novel CEGAR-style abstraction-refinement procedure for the theory of fixed-size bit-vectors that significantly improves the scalability of bit-blasting. We provide lemma schemes for various arithmetic bit-vector operators and an abduction-based framework for synthesizing refinement lemmas. We extended the state-of-the-art SMT solver Bitwuzla with our abstraction-refinement approach and show that it significantly improves solver performance on a variety of benchmark sets, including industrial benchmarks that arise from smart contract verification.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter introduces the concept of phase focusing by synchronous acceleration, and the synchrocyclotron which confirmed the principle. Synchrocyclotron style of acceleration in a fixed field alternating gradient accelerator (FFAG) is also addressed. The theoretical material needed for the simulation exercises is essentially that of the Weak Focusing Synchrotron, Chap. 8, regarding phase stability, and that of the Classical Cyclotron, Chap. 3, or FFAG optics, Chap. 10, regarding transverse stability. The chapter begins with a brief reminder of the historical context, and continues with the theoretical material which the synchrocyclotron optics and acceleration techniques lean on. The simulation of a synchrocyclotron is achieved using just three keywords: DIPOLE for the magnet, and CAVITE and SCALING for acceleration. FFAG dipoles have their specific keywords, FFAG and FFAG-SPI (Chap. 10). Particle monitoring uses FAISCEAU, FAISTORE, and some others. Optics matching and optimization, and the design of RF programs as well, use FIT[2]. INCLUDE is resorted to, although there is no obligation, in order mostly to simplify the input data files. SYSTEM calls to gnuplot scripts allow ending simulations with various graphs; gnuplot reads data from output files such as zgoubi.fai (produced by FAISTORE), zgoubi.plt (resulting from IL $$=$$ = 2) and from files zgoubi.*.out resulting from a PRINT command.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractGeorge Eliot predicates the two principal characters of her second novel, The Mill on the Floss (1860), not on fixed traits but on gendered differences in styles of body movement. This chapter approaches the interplay of medicine and mobility through the lens of the feminist phenomenology of perception, situating Eliot’s configuration of the gendered scripts of posture in the proto-orthopaedic discourse of Victorian disciplinary power. The comparison of the characters’ growth into manhood and womanhood showcases Tom Tulliver’s increasing compliance with correct masculine posture and his sister Maggie’s persistent tomboyism in adulthood. Monika Class contends that Eliot’s realist novel engages critically with Victorian postural standards and thus conveys the link of medical and moral norms in a vision towards variable, and even untamed, gender identities. Above all, the configuration of the heroine expands the Victorian repertoire of feminine body movement.

Abstract:
AbstractAdolescence is a time when developmental and contextual transitions converge, increasing the risk for adverse outcomes across the life course. It is during this period that self-concept declines, mental health problems increase and when young people make educational and occupational plans for their future. Considerable research has shown that parent engagement in their child’s learning has positive effects on academic and wellbeing outcomes and may be a protective factor in adolescence. However, it is during adolescence that parent engagement typically declines. Most studies focus on early childhood or use cross-sectional designs that do not account for the high variability in both the child’s development and the parent-child relationship over time. In this chapter, we examine the association between parent engagement and students’ outcomes—self-concept, mental health, and educational aspirations—drawing on national data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children, while accounting for the school context—school belonging, peer connection problems, and bullying—and parenting styles using panel fixed effects models. We then explore perceptions of parental engagement and educational aspirations among a sample of adolescent students from highly disadvantaged backgrounds using interviews from the Learning through COVID-19 study. Findings show that parent engagement is important for students’ outcomes such as self-concept, mental health and aspirations in early and middle adolescence, even when accounting for family and school context factors. Further, parent engagement in late adolescence, with students from highly disadvantaged backgrounds, continues to be important for positive student outcomes.

Abstract:
This chapter frames the final phase of frescoed façades as increasingly defiant of the fixed nature of their architectural substrate in their play with color and compositional pastiches. These conversations are as varied as the frescoes themselves; thus, explored in tandem will be the nature of artistic exchange among makers. Thanks to these relationships that encouraged a shared visual language, the artists who contributed to these façades will be positioned as core to the emergence of a new all’antica dialect expressed in these faces.

Abstract It must be understood that the third is not a fixed note in the folk-scale, as it is in both of the modern scales. The English folk-singer varies the intonation of this particular note very considerably. His major third is never as sharp as the corresponding interval in the tempered scale, to which modern ears are attuned. On the other hand, it is often so flat that it is hardly to be distinguished from the minor third. Frequently, too, it is a ‘neutral’ third, i.e., neither major nor minor, like the interval between the two notes of the Cuckoo’s song, when the Spring is waning. Apparently, the folk-singer, not having any settled notions with regard to the pitch of the third note of the scale, varies it according to the character of the phrase in which it happens to occur.

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 5 considers Barbet Schroeder’s English-language American true-life drama Reversal of Fortune (1990) and his French-language political documentary Terror’s Advocate (2007), two films about lawyers and legal systems. Desmond Manderson refers in his collection Essays on Levinas and Law: A Mosaic (2009) to the ‘mosaic’ of a Levinasian approach to the law, as, sceptical of legal systems but devoted to justice, Emmanuel Levinas posits an ethics that refuses to crystallise into a prescriptive view of how the law should work in respect of the Other. I argue that these two Schroeder films, with their multi-faceted, ‘mosaic-like’ styles and structures, perform this fractured Levinasian refusal to settle on a fixed, simplistic definition of the law’s purpose. I analyse Reversal of Fortune for its multiple story strands and the different visual styles Schroeder deploys to delineate them, along with elements of performance – especially from Jeremy Irons as Claus von Bülow – that complicate questions of otherness. In discussing the documentary Terror’s Advocate, I draw on Stella Bruzzi’s work on performative documentary (2006) to explore how Schroeder uses film style to perform both the bravado of the film’s protagonist, the real-life criminal lawyer Jacques Vergès, and the Levinasian ‘mosaic’ of the legal situations he surveys.

Abstract:
Recently, Equilibrium Description Logics (EDLs) have been suggested as a promising new approach to Description Logics (DLs) with non-monotonic default negation. However, a deeper understanding of EDLs in terms of computational complexity and relations to other formalisms is still missing. Motivated by this, in this paper we investigate the computational complexity of reasoning in EDLs both in the case of expressive DLs like ALCIO and lightweight DLs in the EL and DL-Lite families. We establish a translation on EDLs into DLs with circumscription, introducing an extension of circumscribed DLs where a further set of axioms is attached to circumscribed KBs to filter out unintended minimal models. Such translation not only applies in the case of classical circumscription but can be extended to the recently introduced pointwise circumscribed DLs. We introduce pointwise EDLs where the single global minimality check on models is replaced by local minimality checks at the single domain elements in the style of pointwise circumscription. We provide preliminary results on the computational complexity of reasoning in pointwise EDLs. In particular, via the translation into pointwise circumscription, we inherit the decidability results of pointwise circumscribed DLs. Furthermore, we show that for a large class of acyclic ontologies EDLs and pointwise EDLs accept the same set of stable models. To this aim, we identify a class of ontologies where circumscription and pointwise circumscription accept the same set of minimal models, providing new decidability results for circumscribed DLs even in the presence of minimized and fixed roles.

Abstract:
User trust and acceptance are critical for the success of Automated Vehicles (AVs) in enhancing road safety and reducing driver workload. This study aims to investigate the influence of AV style (careful or aggressive) and driver style (careful or aggressive) on trust in AVs, while considering the role of initial trust level. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted with 204 participants, and responses were analyzed utilizing a Linear Mixed Model (LMM) with AV style, driver style and initial level as fixed effects. Two significant two-way interactions were observed: between driver style and AV style, and another between initial trust and AV style on trust. Specifically, careful AVs were rated with a higher trust than aggressive AVs by both driver groups. Additionally, aggressive drivers trusted aggressive AVs more than careful drivers, but careful AVs gain the same trust. Interestingly, participants with medium initial trust exhibited a less divergence in trust between different AV styles, yet the trust gaps between different trust groups consistently existed. These findings underscore the importance of aligning driver style, AV style, and initial trust levels to cultivate heightened trust in AVs.

Full text
Abstract:
An alternative type of controllable underwater towed vehicle is proposed. The vehicle is composed of horizontal fixed main wing, adjustable wing flap, and a vertical airfoil main body above which two torpedo-shaped buoyant cylinders are symmetrically fixed. The adjustable wing flap serves as an actuator for deflection of the horizontal fixed main wing to produce enough downward lifting force to the towed vehicle running at a required water depth. Principal function of the torpedo-shaped buoyant cylinders is to create a righting moment or a favorite roll damping for attitude stability of the vehicle during towing operation. Meanwhile two ducted propellers are installed at the sterns of the buoyant cylinders to provide an induced turning moment for the vertical airfoil main body, which in turn produce a driving force for the vehicle in lateral motion. Results of our laboratory experiments indicate that flexible attitude and trajectory manipulations to the vehicle in multiple degrees of freedom can be achieved with the structural style and control mechanisms of the proposed vehicle. The manipulations to the vehicle with the proposed control mechanisms are accomplished by a joint operation of controlling the rotational speeds and directions of the ducted propellers and/or adjusting the deflection of the wing flap. By means of the proposed structural style and control manner, difficulty in designing control system of the vehicle can be reduced greatly, and stronger self stability of the vehicle during its survey towing can be guaranteed.

Full text
Abstract:
One of the large scale mock-up experiments (Mock-Up 2) of the recent STYLE European project was a ductile fracture test carried out on a pipe containing a circumferential through-wall crack located in a repair weld and loaded under four-point bending. This experiment has been used as a basis for undertaking a comparative probabilistic fracture mechanics benchmark study by a number of the organisations participating in STYLE. In launching the benchmark study, the pipe and crack dimensions were specified as fixed values, applied bending stress (moment) was considered as a deterministic variable and three values were taken for weld residual stress (assuming constant membrane values). Tensile and fracture toughness material properties were considered to be random variables and these were specified by log-normal distribution parameter values. In undertaking their evaluations, the participants were asked to evaluate J-integral versus applied bending moment, probability of crack growth initiation versus applied bending moment, probability of net-section collapse versus applied bending moment and carry out various sensitivity analyses. This paper focuses mainly on the contribution to the benchmark study primarily based on the R6 methodology and includes examples of contributions provided using other methods.

Full text
Abstract:
The floating-roof tank has been the most widely used method of storage of volatile petroleum products since the first demonstration b Chicago Bridge &amp; Iron Company (CB&amp;I) in 1923. There have been many changes and design improvements to that first pan-style-floating roof. A floating roof is a complex structure. It must be designed to remain buoyant even when exposed to combined loads from varying process, weather and product conditions. There is a continued demand for improved floating-roof tanks to store a wide range of petroleum and petrochemical products in compliance with state and federal environmental regulations. Floating roofs are used in open top tanks (EFRT), inside tanks with fixed roofs (IFRT), or in tanks that are totally closed where no product evaporative losses are permitted for release to the atmosphere. This very special type of installation is referred to as a zero emission storage tank (ZEST). Products that might have been stored in basic fixed roof tanks must now utilize a floating roof to limit evaporative emissions to the atmosphere. High vapor pressure condensate service and blended heavy crude oils also present new design challenges to the floating roof tank industry. This paper will review the most prominent styles of floating roofs from 1923 to the present. Design and operating limits for current da floating-roof structures are presented. New trends in environmental regulations and the potential impact on the design and operation of floating-roof tanks will be presented. Current maintenance practices and the effect on Life Cycle Cost Management of the storage syste are also reviewed.

Abstract:
Modern science has entered a deep crisis. This manifests itself in the excessive differentiation of knowledge, the disappearance of a holistic picture of the world, the lack of progress in solving deep problems. The way out of the crisis is possible when scientists master the synergetic style of thinking, i.e. thinking with “moving thought forms.” The paradigm of Parmenides, accepted in scientific thinking, is gradually being replaced by the paradigm of Heraclitus. The thesis “The One is essentially immobile” is replaced by the thesis “Everything is movement.” Fixed concepts become a special case of “moving concepts.” In logic, the law of identity can be replaced by the law of generalized identity. The new rationalism will require the transformation of a number of traditions of scientific knowledge.

Full text
Abstract:
Combustion dynamics (or combustion oscillations) have emerged as a significant consideration in the development of low-emission gas turbines. To date, the effect of premix fuel nozzle geometry on combustion dynamics has not been well-documented. This paper presents experimental stability data from several different fuel nozzle geometries (i.e., changing the axial position of fuel injection in the premixer, and considering simultaneous injection from two axial positions). Tests are conducted in a can-style combustor designed specifically to study combustion dynamics. The operating pressure is fixed at 7.5 atmospheres and the inlet air temperature is fixed at 588K (600F). Tests are conducted with a nominal heat input of 1MWth (3MBTUH). Equivalence ratio and nozzle reference velocity are varied over the ranges typical of premix combustor design. The fuel is natural gas. Results show that observed dynamics can be understood from a time-lag model for oscillations, but the presence of multiple acoustic modes in this combustor makes it difficult to achieve stable combustion by simply re-locating the point of fuel injection. In contrast, reduced oscillating pressure amplitude was observed at most test conditions using simultaneous fuel injection from two axial positions.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Gas-bearing clay-rich clastic reservoir characterization presents challenges in accurately predicting reservoir properties, particularly in giant fields. Despite two decades of production, log-based predictions remain uncertain, and this study addresses the challenges by proposing a comprehensive workflow that integrates various data sources and methodologies. The main hurdle lies in the substantial permeability variation, up to two orders of magnitude for a given porosity value, primarily attributed to dispersed clay. Incorporating clay into petrophysical models becomes imperative but increases the complexity of Log evaluation, especially considering variable invasion profiles and drilling practices influencing porosity related Log responses. Moreover, uncertainty persists due to the variability of clay volume across the wells and challenges associated with tilted contacts and incomplete water level data for their appropriate 3D characterization. To overcome these challenges, an inversion-style workflow is proposed, leveraging the consistency of two independent water saturation (Sw) estimation methods: the Saturation Height function (SHF) and the Resistivity Log. The approach builds upon establishing 2 dimensional correlations based on core measurements which incorporate dispersed clay volume. Bulk rock porosity and clay volume are estimated using neutron-density logs corrected for gas effect applying Gaymard &amp; Poupon (1968) and Segesman &amp; Liu (1971), with a revisited clay correction method accommodating calibration variations across neutron tool types. Addressing the underdetermined nature of solutions, ensemble-style interdependent formation models are prepopulated for fixed increments of invaded zone saturation. These models extend to include clay-dependent permeability, SHF and Sw derived from resistivity logs. Moreover, the Thomas-Stieber- Tyurin thin bed reservoir model (Tyurin &amp; Davenport, 2023) is applied to accurately evaluate dispersed clay, laminar shale volumes and sand texture porosity. The Workflow is concluded by addressing the free water level (FWL) plane uncertainty through iterative calibration of the Log estimates to the relevant core measurements and selection of formation property ensembles which minimize discrepancies between the independent Sw methods. The results highlight the significant influence of uncertainty related to invasion or gas effect correction on reservoir properties, emphasizing the importance of including clay volume in petrophysical models. By achieving near-zero calibration errors for key reservoir properties such as porosity, permeability, and Sw, the proposed workflow enhances reservoir characterization accuracy. Integration of independent methods with constraints, namely sufficiency of gas correction and fluid volumes balance, considerably reduces uncertainty of the predictions. In conclusion, this study presents a comprehensive workflow that ensures consistency between core, log, and field data, thereby enhancing the reliability of reservoir models through an implicitly defined dependency between reservoir properties.

Full text
Abstract:
Ground-based haptic devices provide the capability of adding force feedback to virtual environments; however, the physical workspace of such devices is very limited due to the fixed base. By mounting a haptic device on a mobile robot, rather than a fixed stand, the reachable volume can be extended to function in full-scale virtual environments. This work presents the hardware, software, and integration developed to use such a mobile base with a Haption Virtuose™ 6D35-45. A mobile robot with a Mecanum-style omni-directional drive base and an Arduino-compatible microcontroller development board communicates with software on a host computer to provide a VRPN-based control and data acquisition interface. The position of the mobile robot in the physical space is tracked using an optical tracking system. The SPARTA virtual assembly software was extended to 1) apply transformations to the haptic device data based on the tracked base position, and 2) capture the error between the haptic device’s end effector and the center of its workspace and command the robot over VRPN to minimize this error. The completed system allows use of the haptic device in a wide area projection screen or head-mounted display virtual environment, providing smooth free-space motion and stiff display of forces to the user throughout the entire space. The availability of haptics in large immersive environments can contribute to future advances in virtual assembly planning, factory simulation, and other operations where haptics is an essential part of the simulation experience.

Thunø, Mette, and Jan Ifversen. Global Leadership Teams and Cultural Diversity: Exploring how perceptions of culture influence the dynamics of global teams. Aarhus University, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.7146/aul.273.

Full text
Abstract:
In the 21st century, business engagements are becoming increasingly global, and global teams are now an established form of organising work in multinational organisations. As a result, managing cultural diver-sity within a global team has become an essential part of ensuring motivation, creativity, innovation and efficiency in today’s business world.Global teams are typically composed of a diversity of experiences, frames of references, competencies, information and, not least, cultural backgrounds. As such, they hold a unique potential for delivering high performance in terms of innovative and creative approaches to global management tasks; however, in-stead of focusing on the potentials of cultural diversity, practitioners and studies of global teams tend to approach cultural diversity as a barrier to team success. This study explores some of the barriers that cultural diversity poses but also discusses its potential to leverage high performance in a global context.Our study highlights the importance of how team leaders and team members perceive ‘culture’ as both a concept and a social practice. We take issue with a notion of culture as a relatively fixed and homogeneous set of values, norms and attitudes shared by people of national communities; it is such a notion of culture that tends to underlie understandings that highlight the irreconcilability of cultural differences.Applying a more dynamic and context-dependent approach to culture as a meaning system that people negotiate and use to interpret the world, this study explores how global leadership teams can best reap the benefits of cultural diversity in relation to specific challenging areas of intercultural team work, such as leadership style, decision making, relationship building, strategy process, and communication styles. Based on a close textual interpretation of 31 semi-structured interviews with members of global leader-ship teams in eight Danish-owned global companies, our study identified different discourses and per-ceptions of culture and cultural diversity. For leaders of the global leadership teams (Danish/European) and other European team members, three understandings of cultural diversity in their global teams were prominent:1)Cultural diversity was not an issue2)Cultural diversity was acknowledged as mainly a liability. Diversities were expressed through adifference in national cultures and could typically be subsumed under a relatively fixed numberof invariable and distinct characteristics.3)Cultural diversity was an asset and expressions of culture had to be observed in the situationand could not simply be derived from prior understandings of cultural differences.A clear result of our study was that those leaders of global teams who drew on discourses of the Asian ‘Other’ adherred to the first two understandings of cultural diversity and preferred leadership styles that were either patriarchal or self-defined as ‘Scandinavian’. Whereas those leaders who drew on discourses of culture as dynamic and negotiated social practices adhered to the third understanding of cultural di-versity and preferred a differentiated and analytical approach to leading their teams.We also focused on the perceptions of team members with a background in the country in which the global teams were co-located. These ‘local’ team members expressed a nuanced and multifaceted perspective on their own cultural background, the national culture of the company, and their own position within the team, which enabled them to easily navigate between essentialist perceptions of culture while maintain-ing a critical stance on the existing cultural hegemonies. They recognised the value of their local knowledge and language proficiency, but, for those local members in teams with a negative or essentialist view of cultural diversity, it was difficult to obtain recognition of their cultural styles and specific, non-local competences. 3Our study suggeststhat the way global team members perceive culture, based on dominant societal dis-courses of culture, significantly affects the understandings of roles and positions in global leadership teams. We found that discourses on culture were used to explain differences and similarities between team members, which profoundly affected the social practicesand dynamics of the global team. We con-clude that only global teams with team leaders who are highly aware of the multiple perspectives at play in different contexts within the team hold the capacity to be alert to cultural diversity and to demonstrate agility in leveraging differences and similarities into inclusive and dynamic team practices.

Abstract:
This paper comparatively examines the ruling religious populist governments in Turkey and Pakistan through a theoretical framework that focuses on populists’ promises, their compromises, and their attacks on democratic institutions. Through our three-legged framework, we examine how these religious populists behave in power and how strategic necessities, the realities of governing, and structural constraints shape their policies. Similar to the other populists in other parts of the world, before coming to power, Islamist populists make sweeping promises to the people and quick fixes to major problems of the country—most famously, quick and substantial economic development. While they may want to retain their uncompromising style and lofty goals, the realities of governing force populists to make serious compromises to their designated ‘enemies’ and on their values once they are in power. Finally, like other authoritarian politicians, Islamist populists attack formal institutions of democracy such as the judiciary, the media, and civil society; they politicize them, evacuate them, and eventually capture them from within.

Abstract:
The article examines the language of the russian-ukrainian war of the 21st century based on the materials of compressed media texts; the role of political narratives and psychological-emotional markers in the creation of new lexemes is clarified; the verbal expression of forecasts of ukrainian and foreign analysts regarding the course of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine is shown. Compressed media texts reflect the main meanings of the language of the russian-ukrainian war in relation to the surrounding world. First of all, the media vocabulary was supplemented with neologisms – aggressive and sad: “rashism”, “denazification”, “katsapstan”, “orks”, “rusnia”, “kremlins”, “parebrik”, “in the swamps”, “nuclear dictator”, “putinism”, “two hundred” and others. Numerals acquired new expressive and evaluative meanings: “200s” (dead), “300s” (wounded), “400s” (russian military personnel who filed reports for termination of the contract), “500s” (hopelessly drunk russian soldiers, alcoholics who are unable to perform combat tasks). The language of war intensified the slogans of the struggle for state independence and people’s freedom. The scope of the greeting “Glory to Ukraine! – Glory to Heroes!”. New official holidays have appeared in the history of Ukraine since 2014: “Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred” Day (February 20), “Ukrainian Volunteer Day” (March 14), “Defenders and Defenders of Ukraine Day” (October 14), “Volunteer Day” (5 December). As you know, the professional holiday of the military is the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine” (December 6). A special style is characteristic of media texts on military topics: “Iron Force of Ukraine” (Iron Force of Ukraine), “digitize the Army” (for effective simulation of military operations); “grain corridor” (export of Ukrainian grain to African and European countries); “don’t let Ukraine lose” (the position of the Allies at the first stage of the war), “Ukraine must win!” (the position of the Allies in the second stage of the war); “in the Russian-Ukrainian war, the thinking of the 19th century collided with the thinking of the 21st century”, “a politician is a person who understands time” (Grigori Yavlinskyy, Russian oppositionist); “aggressive neutrality” (about Turkey’s position); “in Russia”, “there, in the swamps” (in Russia), “weak, inadequate evil” (about Russia), “behind the fence”; “a great reset of the world order”; “technology of military creativity”; “they are not Russian and not Ukrainian, they are Soviet”, “people without mentality”, “in Ukraine and without Ukraine” (Vitaly Portnikov about a separate category of Russian-speaking citizens in Ukraine); “information bed of Ukraine” (about combat operations on the front line; “when a descendant asks me what I did in those terrifying moments, I will know what to answer. At the very least, I did not stand aside” (opinion of a Ukrainian fighter). Compressed in media texts is implemented in the headline, note, infographic, chronicle, digest, help, caption for photos, blitz poll, interview, short articles, caricature, visual text, commercial, etc. Researchers add “nominative-representative text (business card text, titles of sections, pages, names of presenters, etc.) to concise media texts for a functional and pragmatic purpose.” accent text (quote, key idea); text-navigator (content, news feed, indication of movement or time); chronotope”. A specific linguistic phenomenon known as “language compression” is widespread in media texts. Language compression is the art of minimization; attention is focused on the main, the most essential, everything secondary is filtered out. Compression uses words succinctly and sparingly to convey the meaning as much as possible. For example, the headline “Racism. What is the essence of the new ideology of the Russian occupiers?”. The note briefly explains the meaning of this concept and explains the difference from “nazism” and “fascism”. Key words: compressed media text, language compression, language of war, emotional markers, expressive neologisms, political journalism.
