New remains of <i>Siamotherium pondaungensis</i> (Cetartiodactyla, Hippopotamoidea) from the Eocene of Pondaung, Myanmar: Paleoecologic and phylogenetic implications
No full textWe describe an exceptionally well preserved skull of a small anthracothere from the late middle Eocene of the Pondaung Formation that can be confidently attributed to Siamotherium pondaungensis, a species that was first diagnosed on the basis of a fragmentary maxilla preserving two upper molars. The new material confirms that Siamotherium pondaungensis is an anthracothere and not a helohyid as repeatedly suggested. According to its dentition and skull structure, Siamotherium pondaungensis was most likely a terrestrial, open-forest animal with an omnivorous diet that showed no significant adaptation to folivory. A phylogenetic analysis that includes both species of Siamotherium confirms their basal position within the Hippopotamoidea.

Land-Use Mapping in a Mixed Urban-Agricultural Arid Landscape Using Object-Based Image Analysis: A Case Study from Maricopa, Arizona
No full textLand-use mapping is critical for global change research. In Central Arizona, U.S.A., the spatial distribution of land use is important for sustainable land management decisions. The objective of this study was to create a land-use map that serves as a model for the city of Maricopa, an expanding urban region in the Sun Corridor of Arizona. We use object-based image analysis to map six land-use types from ASTER imagery, and then compare this with two per-pixel classifications. Our results show that a single segmentation, combined with intermediary classifications and merging, morphing, and growing image-objects, can lead to an accurate land-use map that is capable of utilizing both spatial and spectral information. We also employ a moving-window diversity assessment to help with analysis and improve post-classification modifications

Exploring determinants influencing a service-oriented enterprise strategy: An executive management view
No full textDue to the convergence of rapid business developments and digitization challenges firms need to become more agile. A service-oriented enterprise (SOE) strategy is an approach that decomposes an enterprise into business services that are modular, accessible, and interoperable, in which parts can be provided in-house, or outsourced to the market. The SOE concept has mainly been approached from a technological view and little is known about what type of strategic SOE determinants are relevant. A firm’s strategy to implement an SOE requires top management support. Therefore, insights at executive level are a prerequisite to identify strategic business directions. We conducted a literature review and a qualitative case study amongst eleven firms at executive level in various industries. Business services, business processes, and enabling technology were found in the literature as key determinants influencing a firm’s SOE strategy. Subsequently, the interviews at executive level identified that organizational readiness, knowledge and skills, and governance also affect the SOE strategy of firms. We suggest that a holistic view is required to study the complexity of an SOE. By using an executive view we contribute to IS and business literature as strategic SOE determinants become more explicit.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Information and Communication Technolog

Role-players are trained to act specific roles in clinical situations and interact with medical students in the simulation of real-clinical scenarios. Educators used Role-players wisely especially in restricted situation of Covid Era. There are many opportunities in using Role-players such as creating clinical situation, practicing communication skill, cost-effectiveness, saving the time, comfortable learning environment for learners, encouraging studentsto learn. Aim:Current study aims to explore challenges and opportunities in roleplaying in medical education. Method:This is a reflective writing about the role-play in medical education. The authors reflect on their collective experiences with the review of literatures and describe their educational encounters in various aspects of challenges and opportunities of usingrole-players in medical education vividly. All authors have been involved in medical education for at least five years and have used role play to teach undergraduate students. The authors reflect on their role-playing experiences in various phases and modules, such as pre-clinical teaching, clinical case discussion, creative online clinical consultation, and clinical assessment studies. Several identified subject headings were used to group the common experiences, with an emphasis on addressing the challenges and opportunities in advancing the use of role-playing in medical education. The study search engine mage use of key points for its search such as, need for training of role-players, uncertain availability of role-players for certain teaching class and exams, need for specific age of role-players in definite clinical scenarios, some difficulties in recruitment of new role-players, preparation of clinical scenarios, student engagement, further collected information and data are descriptively stated. Conclusion:Modern educators are trying to improve the roleplaying education. By enhancing opportunities to useRole-players in medical education, the soft skills of medical students such as cooperation in teamwork, negotiation and persuasion can be upgraded. These skills are essential skill for medical students to contribute as a health care provider in community.The study summarises the numerous ways to overcome the challenges and highlighted that educators has significance role to make sure student receive all information of their task. This study brings out the value attached to clinical scenarios that are well prepared as a real-world event and suggests that reflection taken from role-players and students to improve future roleplaying class. This study contributes to enhancing emergency preparedness and response working as a part of role-playing education. The educators'effort to improve role-playing education by enhancing opportunities for using role-players in medical education can upgrade the soft skills of medical students, such as cooperation in teamwork, negotiation, and persuasion. These skills are essential for medical students to contribute as health care providers in the community.THE EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF MEDICINEMedical Research Archives, Volume 12 Issue 8RESEARCH ARTICLEChallenges and Opportunities of using Role-players in Medical Education: Medical Educator’s PerspectiveMon Mon Yee1, Myat Kalayar Nyunt1, Aye Mya Thidar1, Myat Soe Khine2, Chong Yau Ong3, Ong Gim Seong

Does the spatial arrangement of urban landscape matter? Examples of urban warming and cooling in Phoenix and Las Vegas
No full textabstract: This study examines the impact of spatial landscape configuration (e.g., clustered, dispersed) on land-surface temperatures (LST) over Phoenix, Arizona, and Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. We classified detailed land-cover types via object-based image analysis (OBIA) using Geoeye-1 at 3-m resolution (Las Vegas) and QuickBird at 2.4-m resolution (Phoenix). Spatial autocorrelation (local Moran’s I ) was then used to test for spatial dependence and to determine how clustered or dispersed points were arranged. Next, we used Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data acquired over Phoenix (daytime on 10 June and nighttime on 17 October 2011) and Las Vegas (daytime on 6 July and nighttime on 27 August 2005) to examine day- and nighttime LST with regard to the spatial arrangement of anthropogenic and vegetation features. Local Moran’s I values of each land-cover type were spatially correlated to surface temperature. The spatial configuration of grass and trees shows strong negative correlations with LST, implying that clustered vegetation lowers surface temperatures more effectively. In contrast, clustered spatial arrangements of anthropogenic land-cover types, especially impervious surfaces and open soil, elevate LST. These findings suggest that city planners and managers should, where possible, incorporate clustered grass and trees to disperse unmanaged soil and paved surfaces, and fill open unmanaged soil with vegetation. Our findings are in line with national efforts to augment and strengthen green infrastructure, complete streets, parking management, and transit-oriented development practices, and reduce sprawling, unwalkable housing development.Corresponding Author:
