We introduce a framework for understanding the impact of generative AI on human work, which we call the human-AI task tensor. A tensor is a structured framework that organizes tasks along multiple interdependent dimensions. Our human-AI task tensor introduces a systematic approach to studying how humans and AI interact to perform tasks, and has eight dimensions: task definition, AI integration, interaction modality, audit requirement, output definition, decision-making authority, AI structure, and human persona. After describing the eight dimensions of the tensor, we provide illustrative frameworks (derived from projections of the tensor) and a human-AI task canvas that provide analytical tractability and practical insight for organizational decision-making. We demonstrate how the human-AI task tensor can be used to organize emerging and future research on generative AI. We propose that the human-AI task tensor offers a starting point for understanding how work will be performed with the emergence of generative AI.

Gravitational wave signals from compact binary coalescences offer a powerful and reliable probe of General Relativity. To date, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration has provided stringent consistency tests of General Relativity predictions. In this work, we present forecasts for the accuracy with which General Relativity can be tested using third-generation ground-based interferometers, focusing on Einstein Telescope (ET) and binary black hole mergers. Given the expected high detection rate, performing full Bayesian analyses for each event becomes computationally challenging. To overcome this, we adopt a Fisher matrix approach, simulating parameter estimation in an idealized observation scenario, which allows us to study large populations of compact binary coalescences with feasible computational efforts. Within this framework, we investigate the constraints that ET, in its different configurations, can impose on inspiral post-Newtonian coefficients, by jointly analyzing events using a Bayesian hierarchical methodology. Our results indicate that ET could in principle achieve an accuracy of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-7})$ on the dipole radiation term and $\mathcal{O}(10^{-3})$ on higher-order post-Newtonian coefficients, for both the triangular and the two L-shaped designs, with $10^4$ catalog events. We also assess the number of detections required to confidently identify deviations from General Relativity at various post-Newtonian orders and for different detector configurations.

This article defends Digital Humanities (DH) against important epistemological challenges questioning its place within the humanities. It emphasizes that while DH incorporates digital technologies, notably AI technologies, it remains fundamentally aligned with the humanities through its focus on understanding and appreciating the creation of human-made things such as literature, philosophy, and culture. Addressing epistemic critiques of DH’s knowledge characteristics, its supportive roles in research, and the efficacy of its tools, the article advocates an anti-essentialist viewpoint. This approach proposes that DH’s diverse methodologies enrich rather than dilute the humanities. By applying the idea of anti-essentialism, especially Wittgenstein’s notion of family resemblance, to understanding the concept of humanities, the article argues for a broader, more inclusive understanding of the humanities, underscoring DH’s legitimate role in this evolving field.

Introduction. Effective functioning of road transport is only possible when the quantitative growth, quality level, and technical condition of roads meet the demands of road transport. This combination of road network characteristics can only be achieved with adequate funding to implement all planned works. Investments in road infrastructure can become a catalyst for economic recovery and growth, as they will improve logistics capabilities, reduce freight and passenger transportation costs, and enhance regional competitiveness. Problem Statement. In the first decades of independence, the road industry faced chronic underfunding, which negatively affected its development. The situation worsened with the full-scale military aggression of the Russian Federation in 2024. According to the World Bank's “Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA3)” report, post-war recovery needs for public roads and bridges alone are estimated at around USD 28.8 billion. For the rapid and quality restoration and development of Ukraine, this issue is critically important, as the state of the roads affects transportation costs, prices, employment levels, and the overall pace of economic development. Furthermore, the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation raises questions about ensuring reliable logistics routes, prompt transportation of humanitarian aid, and the country's defense capabilities. Objective. The aim of this research is to determine the key principles for socio-economic evaluation of state-level programmatic documents to improve road management efficiency. Materials and Methods. The article uses a systematic (comprehensive) approach, which represents a set of general scientific methodological principles (requirements) based on considering objects as systems. A priority in this process is ensuring an adequate level of data objectivity, timeliness, and the relevance of processed information. In addition, the article applies methods of comprehensive and systemic analysis, abstract-logical, graphical, statistical, computational-design, comparative analysis, and expert assessments. Results. A mathematical calculation was obtained for assessing the effectiveness of the State Targeted Economic Program for the Development of Public Roads of National Importance for 2018-2023.

The gravitational interaction of (classical and quantum) spinning bodies is currently the focus of many works using a variety of approaches. This note is a comment on a short paper by Jean-Marie Souriau, now reprinted in the GRG Golden Oldies collection. Souriau's short 1970 note was a pioneering contribution to a symplectic description of the dynamics of spinning particles in general relativity which remained somewhat unnoticed. We explain the specificity of Souriau's approach and emphasize its potential interest within the current flurry of activity on the gravitational interaction of spinning particles.

Extending knowledge by identifying and investigating valuable research questions and problems is a core function of research. Research publications often suggest avenues for future work to extend and build upon their results. Considering these suggestions can contribute to developing research ideas that build upon previous work and produce results that tie into existing knowledge. Usable security and privacy researchers commonly add future work statements to their publications. However, our community lacks an in-depth understanding of their prevalence, quality, and impact on future research. Our work aims to address this gap in the research literature. We reviewed all 27 papers from the 2019 SOUPS proceedings and analyzed their future work statements. Additionally, we analyzed 978 publications that cite any paper from SOUPS 2019 proceedings to assess their future work statements' impact. We find that most papers from the SOUPS 2019 proceedings include future work statements. However, they are often unspecific or ambiguous, and not always easy to find. Therefore, the citing publications often matched the future work statements' content thematically, but rarely explicitly acknowledged them, indicating a limited impact. We conclude with recommendations for the usable security and privacy community to improve the utility of future work statements by making them more tangible and actionable, and avenues for future work.

The topic of pluralism-multiculturalism is increasingly being discussed and socialized considering that Indonesia is a plural and multi-cultural nation, Often this situation makes society often divided. Inevitably often cause riots, hostility and war. One of the initiators of Pluralism in Indonesia is Ulil Abshar Abdalla, he is often mentioned as the successor of Cak Nur (Nurcholis Madjid). Ulil also established a network called the  Jaringan Islam Liberal (JIL) to channel and spread his ideas about liberalism. This research is a library research with a character study approach combined with hermeneutic. Liberal Islam Network (JIL) was established in Jakarta on August 21, 2001 using intellectual networks located in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Makassar, Bandung and several other cities. The vision promoted by JIL is to present a more responsive and progressive theology with the key to freedom and liberation.

Abstract Effective integration and implementation of knowledge in research are dependent on team science expertise grounded in collaboration principles and techniques that advance individual and group scientific agendas. The Science of Team Science (SciTS) provides evidence-based research and best practices that strive to develop scientists’ collaborative skills so that they can work across disciplinary boundaries while developing strong and diverse teaming relationships. Identifying the motivations of those involved in collaborative teaming can contribute to maximizing team effectiveness and applying the knowledge emerging from understanding these to shape teams’ adaptation of a shared mutual learning mindset as a core tenet of scientific teamwork. In addition, surfacing motivations has the potential of helping team members examine their own needs in relation to their scientific and career goals. In this paper we draw from the domains of the Motivation Assessment for Team, Readiness, Integration, and Collaboration (MATRICx) framework, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs motivational theory, and The Team Effectiveness Model for Science (TEMS) to develop a Reflective-Reflexive Design Method (R2DM) that focuses on the development of intra-personal attributes within the context of a team. Approaching expertise development from this design method invites individual reflection in the context of group reflexivity to serve as the cornerstone of deep team science expertise. We used a design thinking approach to identify a framework that merges individual reflection with group reflexivity. The core questions we asked are: (i) What constitutes expertise to succeed in science teams? and (ii) How might we approach the design of learning engagements that enable the development of the needed expertise?

This study examines the association between fiscal sustainability indicators and Egypt’s economic growth from 1980 to 2018. Fiscal sustainability refers to a government’s ability to generate sufficient revenue to cover its costs and debt obligations in the long run without excessive borrowing or money creation. Egypt’s economic growth has slowed, raising questions about fiscal sustainability. This study aimed to analyze the dynamic relationship between fiscal sustainability indicators (government revenue, expenditure, external debt) and economic growth in Egypt. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach and unrestricted error correction model were applied to annual data from 1980 to 2018. A dynamic link was found between fiscal sustainability indicators and economic growth. Government expenditure and external debt significantly impacted economic expansion in the long term, while government revenue did not. Fiscal sustainability, measured by growth in total government expenses, external debt obligations, and revenue, significantly influences Egypt’s economic growth. Prudent fiscal management is crucial for sustained economic development. Policymakers should focus on controlling government spending, limiting external debt, and improving revenue generation to promote long-term economic growth in Egypt. Fiscal sustainability must balance critical investments in public services. Carefully managing fiscal deficits is key to unleashing Egypt’s economic potential. This study provides valuable insights into the connection between fiscal policy and economic growth in Egypt, informing policymakers’ decisions.

Grid-connected permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind farms may be susceptible to oscillation when connected to weak grids. This paper explores the root causes of the oscillations from two perspectives: the model and the oscillation frequency band. First, the small signal model of PMSG wind farm grid-side system is established, and the small disturbance comparison with the PMSGA full-order electromagnetic transient model in MATLAB/Simulink is carried out. Then, we calculatue the eigenvalues of the small signal model and use model analysis techniques such as participation factors calculation and root locus method to identify the critical factors that cause the oscillation modes to be dominant. Finally, time-domain simulation is used to verify the theoretical analysis. Two dominant modes are identified: the subsynchronous oscillation mode and the low-frequency oscillation mode. The subsynchronous oscillation mode is closely related to the direct current (DC) voltage control and the dynamics of DC link. The low-frequency oscillation is significantly weakened with the decrease in grid strength, and it is closely related to the phase-locked loop (PLL) control. The conclusions can provide a reference for tuning the control parameters of PMSG converter.

Generalized entropy, that has been recently proposed, puts all the known and apparently different entropies like The Tsallis, the Rényi, the Barrow, the Kaniadakis, the Sharma-Mittal and the loop quantum gravity entropy within a single umbrella. However, the microscopic origin of such generalized entropy as well as its relation to thermodynamic system(s) is not clear. In the present work, we will provide a microscopic thermodynamic explanation of generalized entropy(ies) from canonical and grand-canonical ensembles. It turns out that in both the canonical and grand-canonical descriptions, the generalized entropies can be interpreted as the statistical ensemble average of a series of microscopic quantity(ies) given by various powers of $\left(-k\lnρ\right)^n$ (with $n$ being a positive integer and $ρ$ symbolizes the phase space density of the respective ensemble), along with a term representing the fluctuation of Hamiltonian and number of particles of the system under consideration (in case of canonical ensemble, the fluctuation on the particle number vanishes).

Amplitude and phase of the gravitational waveform from compact binary systems can be decomposed in terms of their mass- and current-type multipole moments. In a modified theory of gravity, one or more of these multipole moments could deviate from general theory of relativity. In this work, we show that a waveform model that parametrizes the amplitude and phase in terms of the multipole moments of the binary can facilitate a novel multiparameter test of general relativity with exquisite precision. Using a network of next-generation gravitational-wave observatories, simultaneous deviation in the leading seven multipoles of a GW190814-like binary can be bounded to within 6%--40% depending on the multipole order, while supermassive black hole mergers observed by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna achieve a bound of 0.3%--2%. We further argue that bounds from multipoles can be uniquely mapped onto other parametrized tests of general relativity and have the potential to become a downstream analysis from which bounds of other parametric tests of general relativity can be derived. The set of multipole parameters, therefore, provides an excellent basis to carry out precision tests of general relativity.

Abstract According to the current land policy of Ethiopia, rural households are legally allowed to access agricultural lands. Nonetheless, the difficulty of rural population in accessing farmlands makes controversial authenticity of this land tenure to solve problems of household farmland access. This study aimed at assessing the effects of the current land tenure on augmenting household farmland access in Ethiopia. The study followed a mixed-methods research design to investigate the variables in the study. Thus, data were collected through a survey questionnaire, focus group discussion and interviews between May and June 2019. For data analysis, both descriptive and inferential statistics methods were employed. Consequently, study results indicated that the mean farmland size per household was 1.59 ha and government land allocation accounted for 41.9%. The farmland accesses of households headed by persons below 35 years were 13% and that of all female-headed households was 23.2%. It also showed that there were illegal farmland accesses via furtive farmland purchasing. On top of this, 63% of respondents perceived that the current land tenure was not a good rule. The regression analysis showed that the number of oxen, total crop production; annual income, education, and credit access were determinants of household farmland size. In conclusion, farmland scare areas in Ethiopia like Arsi zone have problems of deficient government land allocation, as well as unforeseen illicit farmland transactions. Given augmenting household farmland access, the study recommended that female-headed households have to be empowered and younger-headed households should be encouraged to enhancing their farmland accesses. The farming community should affirm to legal land regulations for maintaining their tenure arrangements. The local government should work according to land rules to liquidate illicit land markets. The national government should mitigate imbalanced farmland access by enforcing land rule acts such as land redistribution and reallocation with the consultation of the people. All level governments should strictly control alarming illegal changes of farmlands to urban areas by illicit land transactions.

El propósito principal de este artículo es definir dos de las más importantes pandillas de una de las colonias marginales del estado de San Luis Potosí, como lo es la colonia Primero de Mayo. Esto principalmente mediante la interpretación de algunos de los grafitis que se encuentran por las calles de este barrio, los cuales revelan importantes aspectos sobre ambas pandillas, como lo es su influencia extranjera, la rivalidad que tienen entre ellas y, lo más importante, su estrecha relación con imágenes religiosas, como la imagen de la Virgen de Guadalupe y la de San Judas Tadeo. Esto para llegar a la conclusión de que dichas pandillas, mediante esta conexión religiosa, intentan depurar sus acciones delictivas para de esta manera encontrar una especie de aceptación divina que contraste con el rechazo que reciben por la sociedad que los rodea. De esta manera, bajo este manto protector divino que encuentran en ambas imágenes católicas, la venta de drogas y el robo a transeúntes y viviendas, que son algunas de las actividades ilícitas de estos pandilleros, se vuelven acciones de reclamo y justicia que arremeten en contra de una sociedad injusta que los condena a vivir en una extrema miseria y gran pobreza.

This essay discusses two novels by Gibraltarian writer M. G. Sanchez, Jonathan Gallardo (2015) and Solitude House (2015). In both novels, the protagonists are haunted by ghosts from the past, emerging from otherworlds, or parallel worlds, whose boundaries have become permeable. I argue that Sanchez’s literary otherworlds offer an incisive critique of border consciousness and residual colonialism in Gibraltar. In terms of genre, Sanchez’s writing oscillates between the postcolonial gothic and magical realism. Drawing on Jacques Derrida’s concept of ‘hauntology’, I argue that Gibraltar itself emerges as a spectre of colonialism, reminding both Britain and Europe of their history of colonial exploitation that comes back to haunt them in the shape of the victims of global carbon capitalism.

In this work the generalized Collatz problem $qn+1$ ($q$ odd) is studied. As a natural generalization of the original $3n+1$ problem, it consists of a discrete dynamical system of an arithmetical kind. Using standard methods of number theory and dynamical systems, general properties are established, such as the existence of finitely many periodic sequences for each $q$. In particular, when $q$ is a Mersenne number, $q=2^p-1$, there only exists one such cycle, known as the trivial one. Further analysis based on a probabilistic model shows that for $q=3$ the asymptotic behavior of all sequences is always convergent, whereas for $q\geq 5$ the asymptotic behavior of the sequences is divergent for almost all numbers (for a set of natural density one). This leads to the conclusion that the so called Collatz Conjecture is true, and that $q=3$ is a very special case among the others (Crandall conjecture). Indeed, it is conjectured that the general problem $qn+1$ is undecidable.

We generalize the algorithm that establishes the correspondence between metric-affine Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld (EiBI) gravity and General Relativity (GR) to any bosonic matter sector. Along the way, a polished version of the proof of existence of a metric compatible frame associated to any metric-affine Ricci-Based Gravity (RBG) is presented. Particular attention is given to the problem of generating solutions of a RBG from the GR conterpart, providing a general recipe for the EiBI case. This extends previous results obtained for specific matter that included anisotropic fluids, scalar fields and electromagnetic fields.

Generally speaking, in Indonesia, safety and security at work (also widely known as K3, Keselamatan and Keamanan Kerja), had not been primary concern in the general and construction Works. It is shown in the high figure of work accidents in construction works, reaching approximately 7-8% of the whole sector of workers. Which is in turns contributes 6.45 % to Indonesian GDP as cost on national level. That is why the concern to K3 must be developed as corporate culture, not only to protect workers’ safety and security but also to increase the performance of the firms.
