Abstract:
Dance, and in particular ballet, is characterized by beautiful body shapes and lines, much of which are due to flexibility. Without adequate flexibility, dancers are unlikely to raise themselves to professional standards. However, with such importance placed on this fitness-related parameter, there is a surprising lack of published data on dancers that examines flexibility in relation to injury risk and muscular performance. The following review summarizes the main findings from the dance, sports, and medical literature.

This chapter reviews current research on gender and social influence. Overall, men exert greater influence than women do. Women’s disadvantage derives from gender stereotypes that characterize men as more competent and agentic than women and that require women to be more selfless and communal than men. Both agentic and communal behaviors predict influence. As a result, women are subjected to a double bind. They may lack influence because of doubt about their competence, or they may lack influence because their competent behavior elicits concern that they are insufficiently communal. In contras

Conflict and lack of clear protocols regarding end-of-life care appear to be particularly prone to generate stress and potentially burnout.

The entrenched nature of the gender/classifier dichotomy stands in the way of better typologies of nominal classification. How can we move beyond it to a more integrated view of nominal classification? Looking at a range of kinds of data from the Australian language Mawng, it is clear that our understanding of many less well-known nominal classification systems reflects a lack of data on how the system is used. Mawng has what seems like a well-behaved system of five genders, including gender agreement in the verb. However, the genders, like classifiers, play a crucial role in constructing mean

Further limitations include high costs and lack of flexibility for general purpose turning operations.

Abstract:
Abstract Cathodic protection (CP) is vital for preventing corrosion in metal structures. Modern infrastructure benefits greatly from digital enhancements, improving CP system efficiency. This paper introduces an innovative CP approach, focusing on advanced technology that optimizes transformer rectifier (T/R) output currents through deep optimization techniques. Traditional CP systems lack the flexibility to adjust to environmental changes and structural needs. The proposed technology leverages digitalization to remotely control T/Rs and fine-tune their output current. Adaptability is achieved

Abstract:
Physical activity is a key component in human life. It plays a role in creating and maintaining a good physical shape, and is also a guarantee of good health. Constant physical activity and training is an integral part of strengthening the cardiovascular system, it increases a person's endurance, physical strength, coordination and flexibility. The risk of many chronic diseases is also reduced when constant physical activity is incorporated into a person's life. Among other things, blood circulation is activated, oxygen supply to organs and tissues and metabolism are improved.

Abstract This paper investigates the optimization of flexibility in production systems. The problems associated with sugar production, at the Sugar Industry of Jamaica, is used as a case study. The lack of flexible packaging machinery is identified as a component of these problems. The paper proceeds to assemble a system capable of effectively accomplishing the packaging of bags of various sizes. A simulation of the system using petri nets is used to validate this project.

Abstract:
This paper looks at how pension systems across Asia and the Pacific can overcome common challenges of low contributory coverage, inadequate social pensions, and failure to include the informal sector. Pension systems in the region also exhibit gender inequities, a lack of policy flexibility and attention to labor incentives, and underdeveloped governance. The paper reviews the structure and performance of regional pension systems, and makes proposals for an expanded role for social pensions with inclusive targeting, reformed contributory schemes, innovations for the informal sector and women,

Abstract:
The law plays a vital role in how artificial intelligence can be developed and used in ethical ways. But the law is not enough when it contains gaps due to lack of a federal nexus, interest, or the political will to legislate. And law may be too much if it imposes regulatory rigidity and burdens when flexibility and innovation are required. Sound ethical codes and principles concerning AI can help fill legal gaps. In this paper, CSET Distinguished Fellow James E. Baker offers a primer on the limits and promise of three mechanisms to help shape a regulatory regime that maximizes the benefits of

California’s Local Control Funding Formula was signed into law in California in 2013 and allowed districts the flexibility to meet their student needs in locally appropriate manners. One year after its implementation, a panel of 26 reviewers, including educators, English Learner (EL) advocates, and legal services staff reviewed the Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs) to understand how districts employ this flexibility to address the needs of ELs.

Abstract:
Protracted crises are increasing and becoming compounded, but financing solutions for humanitarian and social assistance in fragile and conflict-affected settings (FCAS) are not keeping up. UN consolidated (humanitarian/emergency) appeals have, over the past decade, been around 60 per cent-funded, despite growing exponentially in size. Social protection coverage globally remains limited, with only an estimated 45 per cent of the world’s population having access to any form of social protection. This figure dips below 10 per cent in many low-income countries (Development Initiatives 2020; ILO 2

Abstract: Automated smart contracts represent a paradigm shift in decentralized governance by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with blockchain technologies to enhance security, scalability, and adaptability. Traditional smart contracts, while enabling trustless and automated transactions, often lack the flexibility to adapt to dynamic regulatory frameworks, evolving economic conditions, and real-time security threats. AI-powered smart contracts leverage machine learning, reinforcement learning, and predictive analytics to optimize contract execution, detect fraudulent transactions, and

Abstract:
Our previous work indicated that suspension-cultured plant cells show remarkable flexibility in altering cell wall structure in response either to growth on saline medium or in the presence of the cellulose synthesis inhibitor 2,-6-dichlorobenzonitrile (DCB). We have continued to analyze the structure of these modified cell walls to understand how the changes modify wall strength, porosity, and ability to expand. The major load-bearing network in the walls of DCB-adapted dicot cells that lack a substantial cellulose-xyloglucan network is comprised of Ca2+-bridged pectates; these cells also hav

Abstract:
United Nations (UN) counter-terrorism (CT) policies are challenged by the emergence and resurgence of different threat profiles on the security horizon because its response framework is focused on one type of terrorism and violent extremism (T/VE) threat. As there is increasing focus on the threat of extreme right-wing T/VE in the current social and political context in the West, for example, the challenges of adaptability and transferability become apparent. This is often due to the lack of flexibility and nuance of the conversation around CT at the UN level. This same lack of consideration f
