Ranking crops is a vital part of sustainable farming practices. A deliberate strategy that incorporates multi-criteria decision-making is essential for achieving sustainability in agriculture. The process of choosing crops involves a lot of unknowns and unpredictable elements. The neutrosophic set, characterized by the three independent degrees of truth (T), falsity (F), and indeterminacy (I), is more adept at handling incomplete data. The current study combines single-valued multi-criteria neutrosophic programming with the TOPSIS approach to examine the crop selection process in the Ariyalur district. This study incorporated expert advice and a thorough literature analysis to identify the fundamental criteria for developing sustainable crop planning for important crops in the Ariyalur area. In order to rate the crops and achieve sustainability for agricultural production, eleven significant criteria were selected based on environmental, social, economic, and soil nutrient concerns. In this study, the relative importance of criteria and alternatives is assessed by consolidating the views of different decision-makers into a unified opinion through a single-valued neutrosophic set-based weighted averaging operator. The current approach will greatly enhance the self-sufficiency of the agricultural sector and boost the country’s GDP. Additionally, it will support the Ministry of Agriculture and other stakeholders in formulating regulations related to crop harvesting methods.

#1 New York Times bestseller! The third in the New York Times bestselling Maple Hills series follows fan-favorite Henry and a bookish fellow student who come up with a plan to help them both overcome their respective challenges in a difficult year. When his procrastination lands him in a difficult class with his least favorite professor, Henry Turner knows he’s going to have to work extra hard to survive his junior year of college. And now with his new title of captain for the hockey team—which he didn’t even want—Henry absolutely cannot fail. Enter Halle Jacobs, a fellow junior who finds herself befriended by Henry when he accidentally crashes her book club. Halle may not have the romantic pursuits of her favorite fictional leads, but she’s an academic superstar, and as soon as she hears about Henry’s problems with his class reading material, she offers to help. Too bad being a private tutor isn’t exactly ideal given her own studies, job, book club, and the novel she’s trying to write. But new experiences are the key to beating her writer’s block, and Henry’s promising to be the one to give them to her. They just need to stick to their rule book. Oh, and not fall in love.

Russ Callaghan en Aurora Roberts ontmoeten elkaar op een uit de hand gelopen feestje, waar een drankspelletje resulteert in een wilde onenightstand. Aurora is er na afloop al vandoor voordat Russ ook maar kan vragen hoe ze heet. Tot hun verbazing komen ze elkaar later tegen op de eerste dag van het zomerkamp waar ze allebei begeleider zijn. Russ is daar om zo ver mogelijk weg te zijn van Maple Hills, in de hoop zijn familieproblemen te ontvluchten. Aurora heeft het gehad met hoe ze constant op zoek is naar aandacht, en wil daarom terug naar het zomerkamp, de plek waar ze zich voor het laatst echt thuis heeft gevoeld. Op het zomerkamp gelden strenge regels: het personeel moet hun relaties strikt zakelijk houden. Russ weet dat als hij de regels breekt, hij voordat de zomer voorbij is terug zal moeten keren naar Maple Hills. Helaas voor hem heeft Aurora zich nooit veel van regels aangetrokken. Zal het ze lukken om afstand te bewaren, of heeft die ene nacht samen een vuur aangewakkerd dat ze niet meer kunnen blussen?

När Russ och Aurora träffas på en universitetsfest slutar en dricklek med att de tillbringar natten tillsammans. Nästa dag är Aurora borta innan Russ fått veta hennes fullständiga namn. Denna anonymitet tar slut första dagen på nya jobbet som lägerledare, ett jobb de båda två valt för att komma bort från Maple Hills under sommaren. Med tanke på deras första möte finns fortfarande en uppenbar spänning mellan dem, men lägret har en strikt regel om inget umgänge mellan personal. Russ vill inte riskera att behöva åka hem tidigt, men Aurora har aldrig haft mycket till övers för regler. När saker hettar till måste de motstå frestelsen eller riskera att påbörja något de inte kan stoppa. Hannah Grace kallar sig själv en fluffy comfort book-författare, och skriver främst inom genrerna new adult och romance från sitt hem i Manchester, England. Hennes bok Icebreaker har blivit en stor succé på TikTok och älskas av läsare världen över. När hon inte skriver böcker hänger hon med sin man och sina två hundar, Pig och Bear.

Em mais uma festa na casa dos jogadores de hóquei do campus de Maple Hills, os caminhos do atleta Russ Callaghan e da estudante Aurora Roberts se cruzam durante uma brincadeira que acaba ficando muito mais quente do que esperavam. Aurora, que sabe que noites de sexo casual têm hora para acabar (e que mantém as expectativas bem baixas em relação a homens em geral), vai embora sem se despedir e nem mesmo dizer seu nome completo ou telefone. Russ, apesar de magoado, pensa que talvez seja melhor assim: vai passar as férias trabalhando em um acampamento e a última coisa que precisa é de distrações... Isto é, até chegar lá e descobrir que uma de suas colegas de trabalho é ninguém menos que a própria Aurora. E o pior: uma das principais regras do lugar é nada de relacionamentos entre os funcionários! Ela, determinada a deixar a reputação de "encrenqueira" para trás, e ele, que precisa desse emprego mais do que nunca por conta de problemas familiares, estão em um impasse. Os dois têm muitos motivos para manter a distância, mas claramente a química entre eles segue tão forte quanto antes. Será que Russ e Aurora serão capazes de conviver somente como amigos ou acharão impossível não se deixar levar pelo calor do momento? "Um acampamento de verão e uma química deliciosa e ardente ― faíscas vão voar assim que você abrir este livro." ― Elena Armas, autora de Uma farsa de amor na Espanha

Det verkar som att allt går enligt plan när hon får ett stipendium till University of California, Maple Hills och en plats i deras konståkningsteam. Ingenting kan stå i vägen för henne, inte ens hockeylagets kapten Nate Hawkins. Nates fokus som lagkapten är att hålla sitt lag på isen.

Men när Anastasias konståkningspartner står inför en osäker framtid kan hon bli tvungen att vända sig till Nate för att inte missa sin chans. Det slår gnistor mellan dem, men Anastasia är inte orolig ... för hon skulle ju aldrig kunna tycka om en hockeyspelare eller?

Le dernier phénomène TikTok irrésistiblement romantique de la série Maple Hills suit deux moniteurs de camp d''été qui se retrouvent après une nuit passionnée. Lors d''une soirée célébrant la conclusion de l''année scolaire, Russ Callaghan et Aurora Roberts, étudiants à Maple Hills, se rencontrent. Un jeu alcoolisé les mène vers une aventure d''une nuit. Jamais du genre à trop s''attarder (ou à attendre grand-chose d''un homme), Aurora s''éclipse avant même que Russ ait l''occasion de lui demander son nom complet. Quelle n’est pas leur surprise de se croiser dès le premier jour du camp d''été où ils sont tous deux moniteurs, alors qu’ils cherchent à fuir leurs vies familiales compliquées. Russ espère que s''éloigner suffisamment de Maple Hills lui permette d''éviter de gérer les conséquences de l''addiction au jeu de son père, tandis qu''Aurora, lassée de constamment chercher l''attention des autres, aspire à retrouver un endroit où elle se sent vraiment à sa place. Russ sait que s''il enfreint la règle stricte du camp interdisant toute relation entre le personnel, il pourrait être renvoyé à Maple Hills avant la fin de l''été. Mais malheureusement pour lui, Aurora n''a jamais vraiment pris les règles au sérieux...

Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer that affects women worldwide and poses a serious risk to female mortality. In order to lower death rates and enhance treatment results, early detection is critical. Neutrosophic Set Theory (NST) and machine learning (ML) approaches are integrated in this study to provide a novel hybrid methodology (NS-ML) that improves breast cancer diagnosis. Using the Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer (WDBC) dataset, the research transforms these data into Neutrosophic (N) representations to effectively capture uncertainties. When trained on the N-dataset instead of traditional datasets, ML algorithms such as Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), and Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost) perform better. Notably, N-AdaBoost models achieve outstanding results with 99.12% accuracy and 100% precision, highlighting the efficacy of NS in enhancing diagnostic reliability.

Ze heeft altijd alles onder controle. Tot de knappe ijshockeyer haar plannen volledig in de war gooit. Anastasia Allen heeft één doel in haar leven: een plek veroveren in het Amerikaanse kunstschaatsteam. Ze werkt keihard om de beste te zijn van het universiteitsteam van Maple Hills. Stassie wil winnen, en heeft daar alles voor over. Nathan Hawkins is als aanvoerder van het ijshockeyteam de Maple Hills Titans gewend de verantwoordelijkheid voor zijn hele team te dragen. Wanneer door een klein misverstand de kunstschaatsers en ijshockeyers de rest van het semester de ijsbaan moeten delen, is Nathan vastbesloten dat zo soepel mogelijk te laten verlopen. Dat is makkelijker gezegd dan gedaan met de bloedfanatieke Stassie, die haar frustratie over het delen van de ijsbaan duidelijk laat merken. Maar dan is er ineens een probleem dat Stassie niet zelf kan oplossen. Nathan lijkt de enige die haar kan helpen. De spanning tussen de twee stijgt van alle kanten. Maar Stassie maakt zich geen zorgen. Want verliefd worden op een ijshockeyer... Dat zou haar nóóit overkomen. Of toch wel? ‘Hete chemistry, scherpe dialogen en zwijmelwaardige romantiek.’ – Elena Armas

BEST-SELLER INSTANTÂNEO DO NEW YORK TIMES E SENSAÇÃO DO TIKTOK! Tudo que Anastasia Allen sempre quis foi entrar para a equipe olímpica de patinação artística, e ter conseguido uma bolsa e uma vaga no time da Universidade da Califórnia foi um passo rumo ao seu objetivo. Nada vai ficar no seu caminho — nem mesmo o capitão do time de hóquei, Nate Hawkins. O papel de Nate, como capitão, é manter seus rapazes no rinque, o que se torna difícil quando um ato de vandalismo força os atletas do hóquei a dividirem o espaço com a equipe de patinação artística — incluindo Anastasia, que claramente não vai nem um pouco com a cara dele. Mas quando o parceiro de Tasi sofre um acidente e o sonho de competir nos Jogos Olímpicos parece em risco, Nate acaba se tornando sua última esperança de fazer todos os seus sacrifícios valerem a pena. Conforme os dois se aproximam, em meio a festanças, discussões acaloradas e trocas de farpas, Anastasia percebe que talvez Nate não seja tão mau assim. Na verdade, até que ele é simpático... e bonito... e gostoso. Logo os dois estão resolvendo suas diferenças e descontando as frustrações na cama — com fogo o bastante para derreter qualquer gelo. Mas Anastasia não fica preocupada: sabe bem quais são suas prioridades, e não tem a menor chance de se apaixonar por um brutamontes do hóquei... certo? "Um romance apaixonante, com uma química quente e provocações ainda mais ardentes." — Elena Armas, autora de Uma farsa de amor na Espanha CONTEÚDO ADULTO.

Patineuse artistique star de l''équipe de Maple Hills, Anastasia Allen vit pour gagner. Son emploi du temps plus chargé que celui d’un ministre ne tourne qu’autour de son sport, laissant peu de place à l’imprévu. Nathan Hawkins, lui, n''a jamais rencontré de problème qu''il ne pouvait pas résoudre. Et en tant que capitaine de l’équipe de hockey, il sait que sa responsabilité est de maintenir l’équipe soudée. Ils ne s’étaient jamais croisés, mais lorsque la patinoire pour le hockey est détruite à la suite d’un malentendu, les deux équipes doivent s’adapter pour partager une seule et même patinoire. Stassie est plus qu’énervée contre cette équipe de hockey qui dérange son planning, mais surtout contre Nate, le capitaine aux larges épaules et au sourire facile en qui elle n’a aucune confiance. A l’inverse, Nate est immédiatement charmé par la furie qui le foudroie du regard à chaque occasion. Mais qu’importe, Stassie est immune au charme des hockeyeurs. N’est-ce pas ?

The world shattered after the War of Ruin. There was hatred running so deep within the seams of this world, it seemed beyond repair. Kyra wanted this world to be a better place for her brother, but she was just one girl. A thief, doing her best to give her little brother the life she never had. But every life mattered. Whether demon, Fae, human or... A Fallen. Fallen hadn''t been seen in over six centuries, why would one be here now? Why would he come to the Human Court? He knew the truth. He must have. The truth no one else saw, the truth only Kyra had figured out. The witches were brewing something in the heart of the Human Court, something worse than the war that took the dragons, worse than the war that shattered the world. This time, they would take everything, but if she truly had an ally in this Fallen stranger, maybe just maybe, this world stood a chance.

The effective communication of emotions within audio-visual content, such as film, was one of the most important aspects that needed to be considered when creating such content. Within the field of communication, there was a limited amount of research that existed on the communication of emotions in film. This was a problem as such content is becoming more prevalent in society. Knowing how those emotions were created and developed would allow communication scholars to better understand how to effectively elicit emotions from their own audio-visual content. By examining a well-known series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, scholars could see how different aural and visual elements influenced the emotions found in a narrative. Most communication scholars would accomplish this using media framing theory, yet there are limitations with this theory. Therefore, by bringing integrative framing analysis to help fill the gaps, a more complete analysis of aural and visual frames can be accomplished. Throughout this study, aural and visual frames found within the series were integrated and analyzed together before conducting separate analyses for each kind of frame. In some cases, aural frames held more influence over the emotions being conveyed by a character and in others, visual frames held more influence. There were, however, some cases where the emotions conveyed had the most influence when both aural and visual frames were examined together.

The goal of this study was to explore factors that may impact the correlation between self-report and observation of two teacher strategies: praise and response to rule violations. Participants were 71 elementary school teachers (100% Female; 98.6% White) who completed a battery of measures and reported on their use of specific classroom management strategies prior to and after a 30-minute observation. Researchers examined the effect of temporal consistency on the association between self-report and observation (Aim 1) and explored whether the relationship between self-report and observation is moderated by four teacher factors: self-efficacy, stress, knowledge of behavioral principles, and observed global classroom competency (Aim 2). For Aim 1, as hypothesized, the association between self-report and observation was significantly stronger in the temporally consistent condition than the temporarily inconsistent condition for rate of total praise, rate of labeled praise, and percent of praise that is labeled. However, for response to rule violations, unexpectedly the association was stronger in the temporarily inconsistent condition. For Aim 2, none of the teacher factors were significant moderators. Limitations and implications are discussed

This dissertation argues that the Armed Services Editions (1942-1947) as an inherently middlebrow project, together with the post-WWII GI bill education and housing benefits, cohered and solidified an enduring fiction of the American Dream as one in which hard work can yield the success and comfort of suburban middle-class life. The middlebrow nature of the American Dream is intimately connected to the concept of military masculinity, a particular conception of gender presentation and formation which was perceived as essential to winning the War. Discussing conceptions of American identity, the middlebrow, and the military masculine together brings us closer to an understanding of the American Dream--and thus, of the fiction of American identity--as innately middlebrow and intimately connected to the fiction of the inherent masculinity of the military, which in its democratizing and homogenizing education is itself a kind of middlebrow institution. I argue that the middlebrow is incredibly dependent on and entangled with print culture, which both dictates and reflects how one ought to act, what one ought to buy, and what one ought to aspire to--and thus the ASEs, as a recreational reading project, both complicated conceptions of the middlebrow as feminine and perpetuated ideas about the American Dream which middlebrow culture ascribes to. The American Dream is a dream of striving and invention, and the middlebrow aesthetic argues that the evolution-of-self that is involved can be bought--can be constructed out of an accumulation of objects, or images, or identities contrived through the purchase of books or commodities. Thus the American Dream and the middlebrow are inextricably linked and mutually constitutive. This discussion necessitates exploration of the literature itself as well as policy, economics, critical gender studies, and memory theory. Although perhaps seemingly disparate pools of data, these areas of information help create a full picture of "Middle(brow) America" as it came to be in the 1950s--a time still shrouded in nostalgia today.
