This paper presents a non-parametric topography of the cosmological landscape, following the principle of maximum entropy to map the relative probability of all isotropic spacetime configurations. The topography is defined as an 11-D probability distribution, derived from a maximally unbiased ensemble of solutions to the Einstein Field Equations (EFE). Uncertainty prevents infinite precision, blurring the ensemble to quantify the relative likelihood of any physical microstate. The result provides a statistical foundation for the manifestation of our universe and its contents, described by probabilities and their respective gradients. This assumes unconstrained numerical coverage of the EFE landscape, mapping mathematically valid solutions that may violate parametric energy conditions. Uncertainty distorts the boundaries between these exotic states and the canonical phase, rationalizing their existence within our universe as quantifiable improbabilities.

Supplementary code and data for the Master's thesis "The Influence of Green Infrastructure on the Urban Acoustic Environment: A Seasonal Noise Analysis in Bochum" (TU Dortmund University, 2026). The repository contains Python scripts implementing the full statistical analysis pipeline: site-level data assembly, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, and Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) of BirdNET-derived normalised Shannon bird diversity (BN_H) against acoustic and structural green infrastructure predictors across 118 spring morning monitoring sites in Bochum, Germany. The primary script ( run_ols_mgwr_dawn.py ) implements the four-predictor model (dB, NDSI, AEI, and GI Tier; OLS R² = 0.319, MGWR R² = 0.796), selected as the primary model based on AICc (ΔAICc = -105.70 over the five-predictor alternative). A comparison script ( run_ols_mgwr_area.py ) implements the five-predictor model including log-transformed GI polygon area (OLS R² = 0.333, MGWR R² = 0.895). All analyses are implemented from scratch in Python 3 using NumPy and Pandas, without proprietary GIS or statistical libraries. The site-level analytical dataset (Dawn_4to9_Analysis_Data.xlsx, n = 118 sites, 04:00-09:00 dawn chorus window) is included to enable full reproduction of reported results.

This is the report on the indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) dialogue workshop for the first order draft of the summary for policymakers and the second order draft of the IPBES assessment of the sustainable use of wild species (the "sustainable use assessment"). It was held from 17-21 May 2021, online, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The report aims to provide a written record of the dialogue workshop, which can be used by assessment authors to inform their work on the sustainable use assessment, and also by all dialogue participants who may wish to review and contribute to the work of the assessment moving forward. The report is not intended to be comprehensive or give final resolution to the many interesting discussions and debates that took place during the workshop. Instead, it is intended as a written record of the discussions, and this conversation will continue to evolve in the course of the assessment process. For this reason, clear points of agreement are discussed, but diverging views among participants are also presented for further attention and discussion.

Groundwater and landslide displacement records of the Eggerberg slope (Gradenbach landslide, Carinthia, Austria) Austrian Research Centre for Forests (BFW) Institute for Natural Hazards, Unit of Torrent Process & Hydrology K. Hagen, T. Zieher, U. Stary‚ E. Lang, S. Riedl, G. Priesch, J. Pichler, J. Rojacher First published June 2026 Contact: wasser.naturgefahren@bfw.gv.at Overview This dataset documents long-term hydrogeological and displacement monitoring at the deep-seated rock slide Eggerberg, situated in the Gradenbach catchment (Carinthia, Austria). The active mass movement covers approximately 2 km² and reaches depths exceeding 130 m. Owing to its interaction with the Gradenbach torrent system, the instability represents a significant natural hazard for nearby settlements in the Möll Valley. The dataset includes groundwater level and temperature measurements, as well as landslide displacement records collected by the Austrian Research Centre for Forests (BFW). It represents one of the longest continuous hydrogeological and geotechnical monitoring programs of a deep-seated gravitational slope deformation in the European Alps. It extends the existing dataset published in Hormes et al. (2026) by data of several boreholes, not used in the publication. Available groundwater temperature records were compiled and added in the borehole records. Furthermore, the displacement record of the extensometer was reset to zero after the data gap from 1995 to 1999. Dataset Description Groundwater monitoring Groundwater levels were monitored in 15 boreholes including several paired installations designed to observe groundwater conditions in different depth horizons and aquifer systems. Monitoring of the goundwater levels started in 1979, using manual cable light-plummet measurements with an accuracy of approximately 1 cm, and ended in 2024. In the beginning, measurements were generally performed every two weeks, since 1998 usually weekly. Groundwater temperature was measured between 1998 and 2015 with a sensor accuracy of 0.1°C. Continuous digital monitoring of groundwater level and temperature is additionally available for selected boreholes from July 2007 to December 2024 using OTT Orpheus Mini pressure probes. The observation series reveal the presence of approximately four hydrogeologically distinct aquifers within the moving rock mass. Landslide displacement monitoring Landslide displacement was monitored using a wire extensometer installed across the Gradenbach ravine. The instrument measured changes in the distance between the moving landslide mass and the comparatively stable opposite valley flank. The observation record extends from May 1979 to April 2024 and includes the same principal data gap between 1996 and 1998. Initially, measurements were recorded using analogue strip-chart systems and later digitized. In 2006, the monitoring station was upgraded with a continuous digital acquisition system (Thalimedes). To reduce short-term thermal effects caused by steel-wire expansion and contraction, the published dataset contains daily aggregated displacement values. All records (groundwater level and temperature, landslide displacement) were generally quality-controlled and checked for outliers and plausibility before publication. However, no warranty is given regarding their accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose. Data Structure Groundwater Files Each borehole is provided as an individual CSV file (GRD-GWL-[borehole number]): • Column 1: Date (YYYY-MM-DD) • Column 2: Groundwater temperature (°C) • Column 3: Groundwater level below ground surface (m) Missing or unreliable values are coded as 9999. Groundwater levels are reported as negative values relative to the ground surface. Extensometer File The landslide displacement dataset is provided as a single CSV file (GRD_EXT.csv): • Column 1: Date (YYYY-MM-DD) • Column 2: Landslide displacement (cm), expressed as reduction of the distance between canyon slopes • Column 3: Measurement and data-quality code The PDF document 'GRD_Zenodo-V1-20260701.pdf' provides site information, methods, data gaps, and corrected observations. The ancillary document 'monitoring_data_gradenbach.html' provides minimal code snippets for working with the data in R. It further includes interactive plots of the data for visual inspection. Scientific R elevance The Gradenbach-Eggerberg dataset provides a unique long-term record enables the investigations of groundwater-controlled slope acceleration processes, and temporal trends in aquifer behavior. The dataset therefore constitutes an important resource for landslide process research, hazard assessment, hydrogeological investigations, and model validation.

The study investigated the determinants of the migration of youth in Benue State from agricultural activities using a multi stage survey research design. The population of the study comprised 90 households in the three zones in Benue state selected by simple random sampling. A sampling proportion of 5% was used and a sample size of 270 was drawn. The instrument for data collection was a self-developed questionnaire. Data collected was analysed using frequencies distribution, mean, standard deviation and probit regression to achieve the research objectives while chi square goodness of fit was used to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed that 69.0% of the youth involved in agricultural activities in the study area were within the ages of 26- 30 years old while few (7.7%) are of 31years and above. The findings of the study revealed that land tenure practices have high influence on agricultural land developmental activities of youth in the study area. The study found that there is a plethora of factors responsible for seasonal migration of youth in the study area and these includes; Lack of access to modern farming equipment and technology; limited economic opportunities in the agricultural sector. The study concludes that youth migration affects agricultural activities in the study area. The study therefore recommended among others, skills diversification programme that will equip youth in diverse skills beyond seasonal agricultural works that could be utilised all year round. Year round employment opportunities that would provide consistent employment for the youth, education and training initiatives that would focus on agricultural techniques and sustainable practices, access to financial resources and collaboration and networking between local governments, NGOS, and the private sectors.

This study mainly aimed to examine the adoption of e-procurement and its impact on public sector efficiency in Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) in Southeastern Nigeria. The study adopted a mixed-method research design, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were collected from procurement officers, ICT personnel, administrative heads, and senior staff of MDAs across the five Southeastern Nigerian States (Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo), 60 persons out of the 80 targeted responded to questionnaires. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools employed were multiple regression, while qualitative data were thematically analysed to enrich the findings. Multiple Linear regression Analysis was used the relationship between the efficiency of procurement and its different methods on the public sector of MDAs in South-East region of Nigeria. The findings of the results revealed that E-payment, E-request, E-Tendering had a positive relationship with the efficiency of procurement whereas E-bidding has negative relationship with the efficiency of procurement. Also, the results revealed that E-payment and E-Tendering had a significant impact on the procurement at 5% level of significance (p-values of 0.0000 and 0.0001, respectively) whereas E-request, E-tendering and E-bidding does not influence the efficiency of procurement. An R-squared of 82% indicates that 82% of the total variation in the efficiency of procurement method is accounted for by variations in E-payment, E-request, E-tendering and E-bidding; whereas about 18% of the variation in efficiency of procurement method could be attributed to variables not included in the study. Thus, the study recommended that increased investment in ICT infrastructure, continuous training of procurement personnel, strong political and managerial commitment, and the strengthening of regulatory frameworks to ensure the successful institutionalization of e-procurement across MDAs in Southeastern Nigeria.

rd of the world church. The continued use of Western interpretive paradigms has systematically marginalized African oral resources, proverbs, storytelling and community-based wisdom creating a missiological vacuum. This cultural dissonance creates scholarly conflict, restricts church growth and drives members to Pentecostal and African Initiated Churches that address existential concerns (witchcraft, sickness, ancestral beliefs) through their own presumed stylistic biblical interpretations. This qualitative theoretical synthesis draws on postcolonial theory of hybridities (Homi K. Bhabha), a comparative exegesis of Romans 13:1-17 and John 4:1-42, and a systematic review of the African biblical hermeneutics literature. Three dynamics of hybridity are used as analytical tools to mediate between Western and African poles of interpretation: calculated negotiation, prudent affiliation and idealized memory. The tension between the Western historical-grammatical methods and legitimate African contextual concerns is still unresolved and hermeneutical conflicts among Adventist scholars continue. Pentecostal movements address existential questions (witchcraft, sickness, ancestor mediation) with culturally resonant symbols, filling a void mainstream Adventism has left open. A hybridized hermeneutic working in Bhabha's "Third Space" reconciles Western interpretive norms with African oral traditions without compromising Adventist orthodoxy. Indeed, the dynamics of hybridity which African Adventist hermeneutics calls for are exemplified precisely in Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman (John 4) and Paul's strategy in Romans 13. This study offers a constructive and biblical faithful framework for African Adventist hermeneutics. This hybrid approach to reclaiming indigenous interpretive heritage, while critical of global Adventist norms, minimizes interpretive discord, challenges manipulative practices, and promotes authentic church growth in Africa. "Christ's method alone will bring true success in reaching the people," said Ellen G. White (1905, p. 143).

This study examined the influence of self-efficacy and family dynamics on cyberbullying among students of Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Employing a descriptive survey design, data were collected from a sample of 334 students, with 298 valid responses comprising 213 (71.5%) males and 85 (28.5%) females. The age distribution included 17–22 years (45.6%), 23–30 years (36.6%), and 31 years and above (17.8%), while marital status showed 219 (73.5%) single and 79 (26.5%) married. Educational status indicated 185 (62.1%) HND students and 113 (37.9%) ND students, with family types including nuclear (70.8%), extended (23.2%), and single-parent (6.0%). Participants were drawn using simple random sampling from the Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa. The instruments used included the Questionnaire of Systemic Family Dynamics (SSFD), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and Revised Cyberbullying Behaviour Questionnaire (CBQ), all demonstrating acceptable reliability coefficients. Three hypotheses were tested using multiple regression analysis at a 0.05 level of significance. Results revealed that family dynamics subscale collectively predicted cyberbullying (R = .532, R² = .210, F(4, 294) = 15.930, p < .001), though individual subscales were not significant. Self-efficacy also significantly influenced cyberbullying (R = .369, R² = .136, F(3, 322) = 16.882, p < .001), with cohesion as the key predictor (β = .246, t = 2.742, p = .023). Jointly, self-efficacy and family dynamics accounted for 49% of the variance in cyberbullying (R = .332, R² = .490, F(2, 296) = 10.930, p < .001), but independently, neither was significant. Based on these findings, it is recommended that school management, in collaboration with psychologists, should provide accessible counseling services that address dysfunctional family dynamics, offering tools for conflict resolution and emotional support to prevent escalation into cyber aggression.
