There has been increasing attention to and investment in local environmental stewardship in conservation and environmental management policies and programs globally. Yet environmental stewardship has not received adequate conceptual attention. Establishing a clear definition and comprehensive analytical framework could strengthen our ability to understand the factors that lead to the success or...

Despite the widespread acceptance of the principles of the Alma Ata Declaration of 1978 and the subsequent amendments, health for all has remained a distant dream in many parts of the developing world. Concerns such as the economic efficiency of health systems and their reach and coverage have dominated discussions of public health, with ethics remaining at best a shadowy set of assumptions or ...

Suboptimal or erroneous configuration data in rail automation systems may cause serious safety and cost issues. This research work aims to address continuous optimization of such data by (i) connecting configuration and operation data by integration of heterogeneous data sources, and by (ii) application of prescriptive analytics methods to propose decision options on how to correct and optimize...

Customary organizational negotiations tend to focus efforts to attaining optimality in single-problem contexts that are both disparate and temporary in nature. Once the negotiations are settled, the process usually attains closure and the long-term impact of the outcome is rarely considered. In reality, however, decisions involving quid pro quos are made on a continuous basis. Since organizatio...

The author proposes and investigates different strategies for testing descriptive and prescriptive conditionals in Wason’s selection tasks. Two experiments examined the influence of frequency information on the postulated Bayesian and deontic test strategies. The rules in both the descriptive and the prescriptive case were social rules. The results of Experiment 1 showed only some of the predic...

In this paper, the dynamics of a 3D autonomous dissipative nonlinear system ODEs-Rössler prototype-4 system, was investigated. Using Lyapunov-Andronov theory, we obtain new analytical formula for first Lyapunov’s (focal) value at boundary stability corresponding equilibrium state. On other hand, global analysis reveals that may exhibit phenomena Shilnikov chaos. Further, it is shown via calcula...

Senjanovic and Tello have analyzed how one could determine the neutrino Dirac mass matrix in minimal left-right model, assuming that matrices for light heavy neutrinos be taken as inputs. They provided an analytical solution case symmetry is implemented via a generalized parity this remains unbroken Yukawa sector. We extend work of to which broken In elegant method outlined by breaks down we ne...

Abstract Forecasting models are a central part of many control systems, where high-consequence decisions must be made on long latency variables. These particularly relevant for emerging artificial intelligence (AI)-guided instrumentation, in which prescriptive knowledge is needed to guide autonomous decision-making. Here we describe the implementation short-term memory model (LSTM) forecasting ...
