Purpose: To evaluate the dimensional accuracy of implant impressions obtained using five different tray types and two techniques. Materials and Methods: A partially dentate maxillary Kennedy Class II model was created as a reference model through 3D printing. Then, implant analogs 4.3 mm in diameter were placed at the first premolar, first molar, and second molar sites. Five types of trays were used to create impressions: (1) metal stock trays, (2) plastic stock trays, (3) custom trays fabricated using liquid crystal display (LCD), (4) custom trays fabricated using fused deposition modeling (FDM), and (5) custom trays fabricated using urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) resin. Open and closed tray techniques were also compared. In total, 150 impressions were obtained. The reference model and impressions were scanned using a laboratory scanner. Additionally, the positional and angular deviations of implants with different tray types and techniques were evaluated using the superimposition method. Results: There was no statistically significant difference (P > .05) between the impression accuracy with the different tray types and impression techniques. The angular deviations with plastic and UDMA trays were greater than those with metal, FDM, and LCD trays. Angular deviation at the second molar was greater when using closed plastic trays compared to open plastic trays. The highest and lowest positional deviations were observed at the first molar implant with an open plastic tray impression (mean ± SD of 62.46 ± 28.54 mm) and a closed LCD tray impression (36.59 ± 29.93 mm). The greatest angular deviation was observed with an open FDM tray impression at the first premolar implant (0.067 ± 0.024 degree), and the lowest angular deviation was observed with a closed metal stock tray impression at the second molar implant (0.039 ± 0.025 degree). Statistical differences were detected using the Mann-Whitney U test for paired groups and the Kruskal-Wallis test for groups with more than three comparisons (P > .05). Conclusions: Plastic and metal stock trays or conventional and 3D-printed custom trays can be used to obtain implant impressions for maxillary partially edentulous arches with similar dimensional accuracy. The five tray types and two techniques may be safely used to obtain impressions of partially edentulous maxillary arches with three implants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Earlier research has shown that translation holds the potential to combine close reading and critical authorship practices. But despite that, translation has occupied a marginal position as a creative writing practice in classrooms. Through practice-based research involving the students, the translators and the authors of the translated poems, the paper demonstrates how mistranslation and open response activities on one end of the translation spectrum can be used as exercises of rewriting to incorporate creative writing practice in an English language learning classroom in a non-anglophone context. This paper demonstrates how translation can be used as an exercise to encourage creative writing in students through a play of the strategies of derivation, deviation and self-expression [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is shown that a generalised radical group has no chain of non-pronormal subgroups with the same order type as the set R of the real numbers if and only if either the group is minimax or all subgroups are pronormal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Psychological scientists are increasingly using preregistration as a tool to increase the credibility of research findings. Many of the benefits of preregistration rest on the assumption that preregistered plans are followed perfectly. However, research suggests that this is the exception rather than the norm, and there are many reasons why researchers may deviate from their preregistered plans. Preregistration can still be a valuable tool, even in the presence of deviations, as long as those deviations are well documented and transparently reported. Unfortunately, most preregistration deviations in psychology go unreported or are reported in unsystematic ways. In the current article, we offer a solution to this problem by providing a framework for transparent and standardized reporting of preregistration deviations, which was developed by drawing on our own experiences with preregistration, existing unpublished templates, feedback from colleagues and reviewers, and the results of a survey of 34 psychology-journal editors. This framework provides a clear template for what to do when things do not go as planned. We conclude by encouraging researchers to adopt this framework in their own preregistered research and by suggesting that journals implement structural policies around the transparent reporting of preregistration deviations.

Abstract More attention should be paid to the deviations between the actual diameter of the rhexis reference circle which projected by the Image-guided systems and its intended size, and assess the influence of ocular biometric parameters on the deviation. In this study, the Callisto eye image-guided system was employed to generate a digital rhexis reference circle (rhexis overlay) set at an intended diameter of 6 mm and a screenshot of the video was taken at the end of the cataract surgery, then to compare the deviation between the observed rhexis overlay diameter (ROD) and the optic diameter (6 mm). The factors influencing diameter deviation were identified with univariate and multivariate linear regression. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on factors identified in the multivariate regression. And we observed that a total of 213 eyes of 174 patients were included in the final analysis. The diameter deviation averaged − 0.24 ± 0.28 mm (P = 0.0001) and was positively correlated with phakic anterior chamber depth (ACD) (P 0.05). In conclusion, the Callisto eye image-guided system demonstrates good precision in CCC assistance. However, there remains a slight deviation from the intended size when generating the rhexis reference circle in eyes with shallow anterior chambers and larger corneas. Implementing an optimization process could be beneficial for these eyes.

Background: Calcific metamorphosis in root canals is common and presents challenges in gaining access. Guided endodontics offers a solution to overcome these difficulties. The PriciGuide® system is a patented guided endodontic technique claiming superior precision compared to sleeve-based guides. This study aims to compare deviation between the PriciGuide® system and the guide with sleeve. Methods: A patient with calcified canal underwent CBCT scanning to obtain a DICOM file. Using the DICOM file, 3D models were printed. The patient's cast was scanned to obtain an STL file. Using DICOM and STL files, the guide with sleeve was designed using BlueSkyBio software and 3D printed. The PriciGuide® system was obtained from Roots to Cusps® Private Limited. Access opening was performed using conventional method, guide with sleeve and guide without sleeve (PriciGuide® system).Samples underwent radiograph scans to measure coronal, apical, and angular deviations, as well as procedural time. Results: One-Way ANOVA and Post Hoc Bonferroni's test revealed that coronal, apical, and angular deviations were lowest in the guide without sleeve group. However, access opening times were similar in both guided technique groups. Conclusions: The PriciGuide® system offers precise access cavity preparation for calcified canals, showing minimal deviation compared to the sleeve-based guides. It facilitates accurate root canal access regardless of the dentist's experience level. This study utilized 3D-printed teeth that do not fully replicate the complexities of natural teeth, further research is needed to validate the PriciGuide® system's performance on natural teeth and assess deviation using CBCT for a more comprehensive evaluation.

The treatment of mandibular deviation in a completely edentulous patient (after segmental resection of the mandible) without osseous reconstruction consists of a twin-table maxillary complete denture occluding with a mandibular segmental denture at deviated position. Salivary reservoirs incorporated into the maxillary complete denture provide a potential solution to the ill effects of xerostomia, which is the most common post-irradiation complication. Hereby, the authors presents a case report of 62-year-old male patient with a unique method of incorporating two salivary reservoirs: one in the center of the palatal surface and the second beneath the additional palatal row of prosthetic teeth, with an approximate capacity of 7 mL. The novel design includes a removable silicone lid with an escape hole, allowing the patient’s tongue to control the release of the salivary substitute. It provided ease of removal of the lid, as well as cleaning and refilling of the reservoir. The design allowed area under the second row of teeth was utilised effectively without adding to the bulk of the denture.

Deviant behavior is a popular research topic. The article examines interdisciplinary approaches to its causes, types, and consequences in university students. Constructive deviation is a relatively new phenomenon, which requires systematization and formalization. The current socio-political changes encourage certain socially significant values and helping behavior practices, which makes it possible to develop social resources, as well as social, intellectual, and civic potential in young people. The authors studied internet activities of first-year university students to reveal the social and political prerequisites of constructive deviation. These foundations included the institutional conditions for the development and implementation of the state youth policy, youth initiatives, helping behavior practices, hypernormality, such socially significant values as patriotism and altruism, etc. The sociological interpretation of constructive deviation clarifies the challenges that are relevant for young people and directions for their social consolidation.

Abstract Background There are many gaps in our understanding of the mechanisms involved in ovarian follicular development in cattle, particularly regarding follicular deviation, acquisition of ovulatory capacity, and preovulatory changes. Molecular evaluations of ovarian follicular cells during follicular development in cattle, especially serial transcriptomic analyses across key growth phases, have not been reported. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing gene expression using RNA-seq in granulosa and antral cells recovered from ovarian follicular fluid during critical phases of ovarian follicular development in Holstein cows. Results Integrated analysis of gene ontology (GO), gene set enrichment (GSEA), protein–protein interaction (PPI), and gene topology identified that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the largest ovarian follicles at deviation (Dev) were primarily involved in FSH-negative feedback, steroidogenesis, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and the prevention of early follicle rupture. In contrast, DEGs in the second largest follicles (DevF2) were mainly related to loss of cell viability, apoptosis, and immune cell invasion. In the dominant (PostDev) and preovulatory (PreOv) follicles, DEGs were associated with vascular changes and inflammatory responses. Conclusions The transcriptome of ovarian follicular fluid cells had a predominance of granulosa cells in the dominant follicle at deviation, with upregulation of genes involved in cell viability, steroidogenesis, and apoptosis prevention, whereas in the non-selected follicle there was upregulation of cell death-related transcripts. Immune cell transcripts increased significantly after deviation, particularly in preovulatory follicles, indicating strong intrafollicular chemotactic activity. We inferred that immune cell invasion occurred despite an intact basal lamina, contributing to follicular maturation. Graphical Abstract

The diameter deviation averaged − 0.24 ± 0.28 mm (P = 0.0001) and was positively correlated with phakic anterior chamber depth (ACD) (P < 0.001) and negatively correlated with white-to-white (WTW) measurement (P < 0.001). Subgroup analyses revealed significantly greater diameter deviation in cases with preoperative ACD < 2.5 mm and WTW ≥ 12.0 mm (all P < 0.05). Following optimization, the mean diameter deviation was 0.00047 ± 0.26 mm (P > 0.05). In conclusion, the Callisto eye image-guided system demonstrates good precision in CCC assistance. However, there remains a slight deviation from the intended size when generating the rhexis reference circle in eyes with shallow anterior chambers and larger corneas.

The article describes the legal mechanism for preventing deviant behavior of minors, in particular, the relationship between social deprivation and deviant behavior in minors is analyzed, the content, forms and methods of legal work with socially deprived minors are revealed. Two types of deviant behavior are distinguished: external and internal, which differ in their goals. External deviant behavior of a minor is aimed at violating legal norms and social principles, which is dangerous not only for him, but also for society. Internal deviant behavior of a minor is aimed at disintegration and self-destruction of his personality, such actions create only temporary, short-term pleasure, and usually hinder his future successful development. It is noted that the main factor in the formation of deviations in minors is social deprivation - the deviation of the individual standards of a minor from the real social norms of society. Therefore, within the framework of the legal mechanism for the prevention of deviant behavior of minors, we can distinguish three main areas of work: socio-pedagogical and legal prevention, preventive assistance (psychological, legal) and correction, adaptation, rehabilitation and resocialization. The subjects of the prevention of deviant behavior of minors, which we have identified above, should actively participate in the implementation of these areas. Based on the generalization of scientific literature and practice of the prevention of deviant behavior, such effective areas as active informing adolescents about the consequences of the use of various types of alcohol, drugs and toxic substances by connecting the media and Internet content, distributing visual aids, holding «round tables», lectures and conversations; clarification of legal norms concerning various aspects of asocial behavior by involving legal professionals and establishing their close interaction with adolescents and their parents; formation of skills for active and cultural leisure activities; provision of advisory assistance in solving problems (consultations of a lawyer, psychologist, doctor, teacher, counseling through the media); updating the trend of a healthy lifestyle; creation of conditions for selfrealization of the individual in various types of creative, int ellectual, and social activities.

This study basically aims to examine the phenomenon of begging in the 19th century Ottoman center within the framework of the concepts of deviation, crime and social control. For this purpose, while the 19th century, a period in which the regulations regarding begging increased in the Ottoman Empire, was preferred as a chronological section, the study focus on the center in spatial terms. The main factor affecting such a choice is that the official documents on begging date back to the post 17th century, there are more documents from the 19th century, and the aforementioned documents mostly focus on the center. The importance of this study is that it examines the phenomenon of begging in the Ottoman Empire within the framework of the concepts of crime, deviation and social control. This study, which is a methodological case study, is based on the analysis of archive documents published on begging in the 19th century Ottoman center. Within the scope of the study, 42 archival documents belonging to the selected chronological period were examined and 30 documents selected from among these documents were used. Within the scope of the research, it was seen that begging was not a legal crime in the Ottoman center but with the perception that changed after the 19th century, begging was seen as a social and moral problem and efforts were made to prevent it, and for this purpose, Darülaceze was built and beggars were confined there.

Introduction: The Pivot Point (PP) method is commonly used in the radiographic assessment of carpal deformities in young foals, as the range of deviation may influence treatment choice. The aims of this study were to assess the intra- and interobserver reproducibility of the PP method and subjective radiographic evaluation without line drawing to establish the anatomical site responsible for carpal deviation in foals and to evaluate the agreement between these two techniques. Material and methods: Anonymized radiographs of foals presented for investigation of carpal deformity or prematurity were retrospectively and independently reviewed by six readers. Readers were first asked to subjectively identify the origin of the deviation and then apply the PP method and calculate the angle of deviation (PP_Angle). A second reading in a different randomized order was performed at least two weeks after the first reading. The carpi with the highest variability in PP_Angle measurements were reviewed in consensus by two other radiologists who did not perform the measurements. Results: A total of 52 radiographs from 25 foals were selected. Good intraobserver reproducibility was observed for all variables, with no significant differences between the first and second readings by the same reader. Measurement of the angle of deviation using the PP method had a high intraobserver reproducibility (correlation coefficient of 0.93, p < 0.05). PP and subjective evaluations revealed strong intraobserver reproducibility for the origin of deviation (Cramer coefficients of 0.4 and 0.5, respectively; p < 0.05). There was strong agreement between PP and subjective evaluation for establishing the origin of deviation for all readers (Cramer coefficient 0.41; p < 0.05). Conversely, interobserver reproducibility for PP and subjective evaluations was low (Kappa values of 0.26 and 0.20, respectively; p < 0.05). Higher variability of PP_Angle was found in limbs with lateral bowing of the distal radius. Discussion: The results of this study suggest that the PP method can reliably be used by the same reader for follow-up of carpal deformities and that there is no need to draw lines if the only required information is the origin of deviation, while measurements by different readers on the same patient may be misleading.

Accurate coal production estimation is essential to support efficient decision-making and operational success in the mining industry. Discrepancies between estimation methods, such as truck counts and topographic surveys, often lead to inefficiencies and failure to achieve production targets. This research aims to identify the root causes of such discrepancies at PT Bordun Indie and propose effective solutions to improve the accuracy of production estimation. Using the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology, this research analyzes critical factors such as human error, absence of standard operating procedures (SOPs), and reliance on manual data entry. Descriptive statistical approach and linear regression analysis were used to measure the variation and relationship between the two estimation methods. The results showed that the implementation of process standardization, digital technology integration, and continuous monitoring significantly reduced data variability, thereby improving the accuracy of production estimation. The implications of this research are not only relevant for PT Bordun Indie, but can also be widely applied in the mining industry to optimize production planning, improve decision-making, and support better achievement of production targets. This research confirms the importance of systematic improvement to drive operational efficiency and sustainability in the mining sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To improve the biological dose estimation capability in responding to nuclear and radiation emergencies by analyzing the results and deviation causes from a provincial CDC's laboratory participating in the national biological dose estimation capability assessment. Methods The data of a provincial center for disease control and prevention's radiological biology laboratory participating in the national biological dose estimation capability assessment from 2017 to 2022 were retrospectively collected. The number of cells analyzed for chromosomal aberrations, the rate of dicentric (dic) and ring (r) chromosome aberrations, and the rate of dic +r aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes of each sample were sorted out. The relative deviation between the estimated value and the irradiation dose of the assessed samples was analyzed. From 2017 to 2021, the dose was estimated using the dose-response curve in GB/T 28236-2011. In 2022, the dose was estimated using the dose-response curve established by the provincial CDC itself. Results All 12 biological dose assessment samples from 2017 to 2022 were 100% qualified, with relative deviations all ≤ 20%, among which 4 samples had relative deviations ≤ 5%, accounting for 33.3%. The estimated doses of 8 samples were lower than the actual irradiation dose, accounting for 66.7%. The average dose estimated by the dose -response curve of the laboratory was (2.16 ± 1.26) Gy, while the average dose estimated by the dose-response curve recommended in GB/T 28236-2011 was (2.15 ± 1.26) Gy, and there was no statistically significant difference between these two standard curves (P > 0.05). Conclusions The quality of chromosome specimen preparation and the experience of technical personnel are two important factors affecting the quality of biological dose estimation. Improving the quality of chromosome specimen preparation and strengthening the ability of laboratory technicians to identify chromosomal aberration indicators can improve the accuracy of biological dose estimation for personnel in nuclear and radiation emergencies.

Objectives: This research investigates the most important efforts made by the Abbasid Caliphs against the people of innovation and deviation. They had successful efforts throughout the Abbasid era to eliminate the deviants and prevent them from carrying out their activities. The current research also aimed to investigate how the deviants had worked to undermine the Abbasid authority and the Islamic religion, and how they exaggerated in their words about religion and began to spread their deviant ideas and beliefs in an attempt to restore their glory and ancient authority. It also aimed to shed light on how the Abbasid caliphs face their danger, limit their influence, and eliminate some of their leaders. Methodology: To achieve the objectives of this study, the researchers adopted the historical descriptive approach when presenting the position of the Abbasid Caliphate on intellectual deviation, represented by the position of the Abbasid Caliphs against the intellectual deviation that appeared clearly in the Abbasid era by referring to specialized historical sources and references, dealing accurately while employing those sources to reach the most accurate information and clarify the position of the Abbasid Caliphate on those deviations.Results: The study showed many important results that were obtained during the research period, perhaps the most prominent of which are the following:1- The Abbasid era witnessed dangerous deviant intellectual movements carried out by the enemies of Islam to undermine Arabism and Islamic culture and strike the authority of the Arabs, by entering the ranks of Islamic sects and inclining them towards intellectual deviation.2- The Abbasid Caliphs worked to make efforts to eliminate them and work to cut off their continuous movements throughout the Abbasid era.3- Ending the issue of saying that the Qur’an was created, through the successful4- The Abbasid sultans had similar efforts to the efforts of the caliphs to eliminate heresies and deviations by the Ghaznavid and Seljuk sultans and Sultan Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi.Conclusion: The study recommends the necessity of emphasizing on researchers to study intellectual deviations in depth and to know the reasons that led to their emergence, who is behind them and the goals they seek to achieve. It also recommend to work on refuting the claims and falsehoods of those movements and rejecting their ideas that are foreign to Islamic society.

The article considers the correlation of the concepts of pathology, deviation and mutation based on the theoretical content from the list of references. Deviation is not always purely negative. We prove this through H. Becker’s work “Outsiders”. Social groups create rules, and deviants are not able to obey the accepted norms and become outsiders. We have called this approach sociocul-tural. The approach described in V.N. Zheleznyak’s monograph through the prism of rationalistic philosophy is more difficult to understand and present the phenomenon of deviation. The main idea that is revealed in the author’s narrative is as follows: the classical epistemology of rationalism is the mind’s report on its self-improvement. Through the socio-biological approach, deviation is considered with the help of the prism of the evolutionary theory and influence of mutations on development. If we study mutations of the social life of society, then we can call this system a socio-cultural mutation. The last approach was the physiological (anthropological) one. From its points of view, it is said about a difference in the origin of the races of people, hence the likely deviation. S.V. Savelyev in his lecture material has considered the social evolution of the human brain with the help of the anthropological approach. Here we can impose the phenomenon of deviation on the author’s theses, as if describing behaviour through the anthropological differences.

This paper aims to determine the relationship between parameters of lower limb strength and balance in 5-8-year-old children practicing dance. Methods. So, an exploratory study was organized with a group of 24 children aged 5-8 years from the National Palace of Children of Bucharest. Tests used: Test 1 (15 jumps free arms), Test 2 - static balance (SB), Test 3 – lateral dynamic balance (LDB) and Test 4 vertical dynamic balances (VDB). Parameters: performance, front and back inside (LDB), left and right inside (VDB), avg. deviation. In this regard, establishing the relationship degree between lower limb strength parameters and balance in 5-8-year-old dancers depends on the number of negative correlations, especially between average deviation parameters.

The aim of the paper is to establish the relationship between static and dynamic balance parameters in young soccer players aged 10-12. Methods. An exploratory study was organized with a group of 10-12-year-old soccer players of the School Sports Club no. 1 of Bucharest. The bipedal balance was assessed using the Sensamove Mini Board. The relationship of the static and dynamic balance parameters was determined with the Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Tests applied: Test 1 - static balance (SB), Test 2 – lateral dynamic balance (LDB), and Test 3 - vertical dynamic balance (VDB). Measured parameters: performance, front and back inside (LDB), left and right inside (VDB), left and right avg. deviation. The assessment results highlighted the level of balance development in 10-12-year-old soccer players and the correlations between their parameters

This paper focuses on the vestibular ability characteristics of 6-10-year-old gymnasts. Methods. Thus, exploratory research was conducted within the CSM Arad, with 25 gymnasts aged 6-10 years, divided into two groups: A (6-7 years, n=10) and B (8-10 years, n=14). The Opto Jump Next system was used for testing the march in place (running in place with eyes open and eyes closed) in 10 sec. 17 parameters were measured (number of steps, contact time, flight time, pace, cycle, jumping point, tendency, and used area). The differences in the means of group A show higher values in Jumping Point (L, R) and in group B – number steps, pace (L, R), Tendency, and Used Area. All these results highlight the characteristics of vestibular ability development in 6-10-year-old gymnasts.

The detection of belt deviation and longitudinal tearing defects is the key to ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the equipment. A three-dimensional belt deviation and longitudinal tear defect detection system based on binocular line laser technology was proposed to address the low detection efficiency and high delay of conveyor belt deviation and longitudinal tear detection. A line laser was irradiated onto the surface of the belt through an image acquisition device, and the collected images were preprocessed. Image segmentation, feature extraction, and pattern recognition techniques were used to detect belt deviation and longitudinal tearing defects. These results confirmed that the system designed in this study only took an average of 20 to 30 milliseconds to process an image. The average accuracy of secondary detection was 97.37%, which was 7.5% higher than that of primary detection. The average processing time of the first level detection was 19.45ms. The average processing time of the two level detection was 23.73ms, which was 4.28ms longer than the first level detection. The designed 3D belt deviation and longitudinal tearing defect detection system based on binocular laser technology has high real-time and accuracy, which is very important for the safety production of enterprises.

Literary criticism as a tool to measure the status and value of literary works in their formalistic form is the result of major changes in the approach to these works in the 20th century. This type of criticism, influenced by viewpoints based on linguistics, examines literary texts without regard to external factors in terms of form and with an emphasis on discourse, mode, and genre. In fact, formalist criticism was formed in order to stabilize scientific research in literature and turn it into independent knowledge by relying on components such as extra regularity and deviation rule. In the current research, using the qualitative analysis method, while reading Faizi Decani's elegies based on the main components of this type of criticism, we come to the important point of how the influence of ruleenhancing methods on the elements that make up the word defamiliarizes the external part of the language. And the words, consonants, and vowels have progressed with the highest degree of coherence and balance, in harmony with the emotional atmosphere of the poem. And also the deviation from the rules governing the standard language, under the title of the deviation rule, by using techniques such as simile, metaphor, metonymy, and irony... In its deep structure based on emotions and feelings, it has given a literary function to the language, and as a result of the compatibility of the poem form with the expressed emotions, it has made the poet succeed in inducing emotions and feelings and creating beautiful emotional elegies.

Vivid imagery and intricate tapestry of linguistic features are essential to grasp literary significance and appreciation in Dylan Thomas' poems. This study focuses on one of his most significant poems, Before I Knocked for an in-depth investigation. The study is significant in because combining both the theory of foregrounding and the checklist is unique in this type of study. Therefore, the study aims to analyze Thomas' selected poem and demonstrate how and why various linguistic elements are systematically utilized to create value and quality in the poem. Concerning this, the study utilises qualitative descriptive analysis relying on stylistic analysis within which the theory of foregrounding supplemented by Leech and Short's checklist, is applied. Ultimately, the study finds that Thomas has employed linguistic features and foregrounding aspects systematically and coherently to carry meaning and theme and relate the form and the content of his work. The study also recommends integrating linguistic features in literary stylistic analysis is essential for learners and pedagogical purposes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the past decades, the focus in maritime supply chains has shifted from the individual company to an integrated chain. It is of utmost importance that the various chain actors are well aligned with each other, so as to make transport operations as smooth as possible, ideally also without Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) deviations. To examine which parameters have to be tackled primarily so as to reduce ETA deviations, this paper examines for each individual ship type at the port of Antwerp which parameters significantly influence ETA deviations. First and foremost, it is observed that seagoing vessels exhibit significantly greater deviations than inland vessels. We also find that chemtankers do not appear to be significantly influenced by their dimensions and geographic parameters. Container ships, on the other hand, are insensitive to both geographical and meteorological parameters. General tankers, on the other hand, show the greatest deviations. The output of the synthesizing Principal Component Analysis indicates that for all ship types the dimensions and meteorological parameters have the greatest explanatory power in the context of deviation predictions. The equations developed on this basis are able to calculate the chance of ETA deviations for each vessel type in the dataset. This result is therefore of great relevance to all actors in the maritime supply chains, as it allows planning much better and avoiding unnecessary asset and staff expenses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, reasonable regulation of optimum parameters in sequential uniform design (algorithm) is developed by means of probabilistic multi–objective optimization (PMOO) in term of total preferable probability, which aims to conduct rational option in the subsequent deep optimization with a series of provisional ″optimum status″ candidates. The provisional ″optimum statuses″ were produced in the sequential uniform algorithm of subsequent deep optimization in each step, which is in turn used to form a ″special point set″ in this study, the total preferable probability is evaluated for the ″special point set″. The final optimum status is with the highest total preferable probability of the ″special point set″ comparatively. Besides, under condition of ″target value being the best″, both discrepancy of average value Y ¯ of a response from its target value Y0 (ε =| Y ¯ −Y0|) and averaged deviation γ of the actual response value Y from the target value Y0 are taken as the dual individual response objectives for robust design simultaneously. Two examples are given to illuminate the proposed procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The deviation between the stated intentions and actual actions of rural residents regarding waste classification constitutes a significant impediment to the effective implementation of environmental management strategies in rural areas. It is therefore recommended that steps be taken to reduce the deviation between the stated intentions and actual behaviors of rural residents. Doing so will help to reinforce environmental governance in rural communities and provide the necessary support for rural revitalization. Methods: This study establishes an analytical framework for examining the deviation between the internal perceived efficacy and external environmental policies among rural residents. The relationship between intention and behavior can be classified into three distinct scenarios: "intention with behavior," "intention without behavior," and "no intention with behavior." Furthermore, an empirical analysis is conducted using survey data collected by Nanjing Agricultural University in the China Land Economic Survey in June and July 2021. Result: The results show that 1) the perceived efficacy has a significant positive influence on the deviation between the intention and behavior of rural residents in domestic waste classification, while the environmental policy has a significant negative effect on it; 2) the guiding policy has a significant negative moderating effect on the influence of perceived efficacy on the deviation between the intention and behavior of rural residents and the situation of "with intention and without behavior," while the reward-punishment policy has a significant positive moderating effect on the influence of perceived efficacy on "without intention and behavior;" 3) the perceived efficacy has a masking effect on the impact of environmental policies on the deviation between the intention and behavior or "with intention and without behavior" of rural residents and a partial mediating effect on the impact of the environmental policy on "with intention and behavior" or "without intention and behavior." Discussion: In consideration of these findings, the study proposes policy recommendations that emphasize the interconnectivity of the government, village collective organizations, and rural residents. The recommendations include the implementation of environmental policies and initiatives designed to enhance rural residents' awareness of waste classification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
