Recently, AI agents are rapidly evolving in intelligence and are widely used in professional research applications, such as STEM, software development, and finance. Among these AI agents, deep research agent is a key category as it can perform long-horizon tasks and solve problems of greater complexity. However, there are few evaluation frameworks and benchmarks that systematically and automatically investigate the capabilities of these research agents. In addition, financial research problems have distinct complexity and subtlety. To fill in the gap, we propose FinResearchBench, which is a logic tree-based Agent-as-a-Judge and targets specifically for the financial research agents. It provides a comprehensive and automatic assessment of the research agents across 7 key types of tasks in the financial research domain. The contributions of this work are two-folded: (1) the first and innovative Agent-as-a-Judge system that extracts the logic tree of the research outcome and uses it as the intermediate information to present a comprehensive, reliable, and robust evaluation; (2) finance-oriented that it covers 70 typical financial research questions, spreading across 7 frequently-encountered types of task in the domain.

Abstract The objective was to assess the effect of shade, pruning, and harvest time (seasonality) on the yield and nutritional composition of calabash tree fruit (Crescentia cujete). This fruit is used as livestock feed in silvopastoral systems in the dry South American tropics. Two hundred calabash trees were randomly distributed in a split-plot experimental design with four experimental treatments (n = 50) defined as: not shaded-not pruned trees (NSh-NPr), not shaded-pruned trees (NSh-Pr), shaded-not pruned trees (Sh-NPr) and shaded-pruned trees (Sh-Pr). Trees were monitored each 4 months over a 2-years total period and its fruits were classified as ripe, unripe and fallen fruits, whereas ripe fruits were collected and analyzed by its nutritional quality. The shade effect significantly decreased fruit yield. There was a significant interaction shade × time effect. The fruit yield decreased in October 2022 and February, June and October 2023, as well as the average fruit weight at the same harvesting times (except in October 2022). Pruning also showed a significant effect with lower weight and fruit yield. A significant interaction effect of pruning × time was reflected on lower unripe and fallen fruits, both in June and October 2023 (rainy season). Shade, pruning and seasonality did not affect the nutritional quality of fruits. Not pruned calabash tree under sunny conditions has proven to be the best strategy in order to obtain the greatest fruit yield for livestock feeding, ideal for converting conventional herbaceous pastures and deforested landscapes into silvopastoral systems as a sustainable alternative for livestock production in dry tropical savannas.

A record transmission throughput of 202.3 Tb/s (189.5 Tb/s after decoding)is reported over a 39 km field-deployed metropolitan standard single-mode fibre link using ultra-wideband geometrically-shaped signals, with lumped amplification and total launch power constrained to 20.9 dBm. An experimentally-optimised 5 dB tilt launch power pre-emphasis over the 15.6 THz optical bandwidth was applied to mitigate inter-channel stimulated Raman scattering. Compared to C+L-band transmission, extension to S+C+L-band, using 63.4% more optical bandwidth, resulted in a 51.2% increase in throughput under the same total launch power constraint. The trade-off between the addition of S-band channels, and the associated reduction in C+L-band SNR, was further explored for long-haul transmission, and it was shown that a similar percentage throughput increase (from 48.1 Tb/s to 73.1 Tb/s), but with 77.3% higher bandwidth, could be achieved for 1014 km transmission over field-deployed fibre configured in a recirculating fibre loop. This work demonstrates the potential to enhance data throughput in deployed fibre systems by using S+C+L-bands.

BACKGROUND: It is known that regular physical activity stimulates synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system. Neurons involved in movement and sensory integration form new connections, contributing to the restoration of lost functions (angiogenesis, neurogenesis, changes in cortical pathways). Based on this, it was hypothesized that KRISAF device (locomotor therapy in unweighted conditions) in patients with chronic disorders of consciousness, due to the presence of passive stereotyped motor cycles mimicking crawling/swimming/walking, may modulate the recovery of cerebral hemisphere functions and subsequently affect the level of consciousness through the mechanism of afferent ontogenetic “recollection.” AIM: To assess the changes in cerebral hemisphere function recovery based on the scores of the CRS-R, Behavioral Pain Scale, Ashworth Scale, and Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E) in patients with chronic disorders of consciousness undergoing locomotor therapy in unweighted conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive prospective comparative cohort study included 74 patients from 2019 to 2024. They were divided into two groups: intervention group (n=44) and control group (n=30). Patients in the intervention group, in addition to the main course of rehabilitation treatment, received 5 sessions of locomotor therapy in unweighted conditions. RESULTS: The median level of consciousness score according to the CRS-R scale in the intervention group increased from 6 (5.4–6.6) to 9 (8.1–9.9) points (p=0.0006), while in the control group, it increased from 5.5 (4.7–6.3) to 7 (6–8) points (p=0.0609), indicating a statistically significant difference (p 0.00001). CONCLUSION: The significant improvement in the CRS-R score at discharge among patients undergoing locomotor therapy indicates that this treatment method has a positive effect on the level of consciousness.

Abstrak: Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan (PKn) adalah mata pelajaran yang bertujuan untuk menyiapkan siswa menjadi warga negara yang cerdas, bertanggung jawab, dan mampu berkontribusi positif dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, berbangsa, dan bernegara. Dalam pembejaran pkn tersebut siswa ditanamkan untuk memiliki sikap toleransi. Toleransi adalah sikap menghargai, menghormati, dan menerima perbedaan yang ada di antara individu atau kelompok, baik dalam aspek agama, budaya, etnis, atau pandangan hidup. Sikap toleran berarti memberikan kebebasan kepada orang lain untuk berpikir, berkeyakinan, dan berperilaku sesuai dengan pilihannya, selama tidak melanggar hak orang lain atau mengganggu ketertiban umum. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Pengumpulan data dan informasi dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi, serta studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menjelaskan bahwa Melalui pelajaran PKn, siswa tidak hanya memahami konsep toleransi secara teoritis, tetapi juga mengaplikasikannya dalam interaksi sehari-hari di lingkungan sekolah, menunjukkan sikap saling menghormati, dan mengurangi sikap diskriminatif. Kesadaran ini menjadikan siswa lebih siap untuk berpartisipasi dalam masyarakat multikultural dengan semangat persatuan dan saling menghargai. Oleh karena itu, pendidikan kewarganegaraan memiliki dampak positif dalam menanamkan dan memperkuat nilai-nilai toleransi, yang berkontribusi pada terciptanya suasana sekolah yang harmonis dan inklusif di SMK Syahida Tasikmalaya. Abstract: Civic Education (PKn) is a subject aimed at preparing students to be intelligent, responsible citizens who are capable of making positive contributions to society, nation, and state. In PKn learning, students are instilled with a tolerant attitude. Tolerance is an attitude of appreciating, respecting, and accepting differences that exist among individuals or groups, whether in terms of religion, culture, ethnicity, or worldview. A tolerant attitude means giving others the freedom to think, believe, and behave according to their choices, as long as it does not violate the rights of others or disrupt public order. This research is a qualitative study with a descriptive approach. Data and information were collected through interviews, observations, and document studies. The results of the study explain that through PKn lessons, students not only understand the concept of tolerance theoretically but also apply it in their daily interactions in the school environment, demonstrating mutual respect and reducing discriminatory attitudes. This awareness makes students more prepared to participate in a multicultural society with a spirit of unity and mutual respect. Therefore, citizenship education has a positive impact on instilling and strengthening the values of tolerance, which contributes to creating a harmonious and inclusive school atmosphere at SMK Syahida Tasikmalaya.

A matemática é fundamental para o ser humano, ela se faz presente no dia a dia das pessoas, porém, mesmo sendo tão importante são muitos os que não gostam da mesma, talvez não goste porque não entende e através desse pensamento, buscou-se formas de tornar a matemática mais atraente para que se torne mais fácil de entender e aprender, pois o não saber pode gerar o não gostar e a partir do momento que o discente começa a entender ele automaticamente passa a gostar e se interessar cada vez mais. A inserção do lúdico foi um caminho encontrado para melhorar a aprendizagem e assim tornar a disciplina mais divertida sem perder o foco da matéria a ser ensinada. O jogo pode transformar a atividade aplicada numa atividade mais prazerosa de ser realizada e ao mesmo tempo em que se brinca, também se aprende e dessa forma o docente consegue atingir seu objetivo que é ensinar e o discente consegue aprender. A busca pela efetivação da aprendizagem é imprescindível, pois infelizmente os alunos estão a cada ano com uma defasagem descomunal e isso prejudica a sequência da disciplina que precisa ser desenvolvida com o educando, sendo assim a recuperação se torna frequente para que o aluno desenvolva o conhecimento necessário para o ciclo em que se encontra. Conhecer as quatro operações é importante para o dia a dia de uma pessoa e a dificuldade para realizar cálculos é impressionante, principalmente em relação à divisão, conhecer essas operações e seus passo a passo é imprescindível. Neste trabalho será realizado a análise da utilização do jogo avançando com o resto com a evolução da aprendizagem dos alunos e assim verificar se o lúdico pode ser eficaz como material de apoio durante a aula.

Family planning was constantly thought to be a lady's privilege. However, the truth of the matter is that all kinds of people are similarly answerable for planning and directing the family size. Henceforth investigating the role of men in family planning is especially significant, The goal of the review was to work on the information on family planning strategies among men and evaluate the adequacy of organized showing program on information on family planning techniques among men. Semi trial, non - randomized benchmark group configuration was utilized in provincial region in Sarorijini Nagar, Lucknow with 140 subjects (70 in each exploratory and control bunch). Purposive inspecting procedure was utilized. The devices utilized were segment variable and information poll with respect to information on family arranging strategies. In the benchmark group greatest subjects 87.1% had helpless information (mean score 12) and in the exploratory gathering greater part of subjects 65.7% had helpless information score (mean score 14.43) and no subject had great information score. After execution of the organized showing program in the trial bunch the critical improvement in the knowledge score had seen 61.4% in great information score. Discovering shows that in the benchmark group there was less distinction among pre and post - test information score (chi square worth 0.86, p esteem 0.353). In the test bunch there was extremely enormous contrast among pre and post - test information score (chi square worth 86.2, p esteem <0.001) and there were critical relationship of pre - test information score with the age, training, mate schooling, occupation, kind of family, month to month pay, wellspring of information, length of marriage was found.

En este trabajo se caracterizaron 10.000 toneladas de escombreras de mármoles a fin de definir sus parámetros físico-mecánicos y mineralógicos y determinar su aptitud como componente principal en capas granulares de una estructura de pavimento. Aunque los coeficientes Los Ángeles (41-53%) exceden lo permitido en la especificación de referencia, la granulometría, plasticidad y California Bearing Ratio (C.B.R.) (76, 83, 100% al 97, 98 y 100% de la densidad máxima, respectivamente) satisfacen lo especificado, con condicionamientos. Por consiguiente, con un simple cribado, este material de escombrera podría ser utilizado en terraplenes, sub-bases y bases granulares de carreteras, constituyendo una alternativa: a) Ambientalmente sostenible: porque evita nuevas explotaciones y elimina un potencial pasivo ambiental; b) Técnicamente viable: ya que la capacidad portante de las capas granulares no se vería afectada; c) Económicamente conveniente: porque aporta un valor agregado a un sub-producto hoy desechado y reduce costos de explotación y transporte.

To synthesize a single-sideband (SSB) Nyquist high-order QAM, an optical subcarrier processing (OSP) based scheme is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A Twin-SSB Nyquist in lower-order QAM is firstly generated using an electro-optic approach. OSP-based data aggregation is then deployed to coherently merge two sidebands in the twin-SSB to synthesize an SSB Nyquist QAM with an increased modulation level. The proposed scheme effectively relaxes the requirement for the digital-to-analog (DAC) resolution, thus reducing the power consumption and cost. Besides, the use of the coherent two-carrier pump in the data aggregation avoids the introduction of phase noise from the pump. It allows for the deployment of a low-cost laser as a pump laser source without sacrificing the performance, further reducing the overall implementation cost. Moreover, a hierarchical blind phase search algorithm is proposed to combat the possible distortions introduced in the data aggregation. A 12.5 Gbps SSB Nyquist 16QAM is experimentally synthesized from a 2 × 6.25 Gbps twin-SSB Nyquist QPSK with an error-free operation.
