Identifying Orbit Lengths for Promotion
In this work we study Schützenberger's promotion operator on standard Young tableaux via a corresponding graphical construction known as $m-$diagrams. In particular, we prove that certain internal structures of SYT are preserved under promotion and correspond to distinct components of $m-$diagrams. By treating these structures as atomic parts of the $m-$diagram, we provide a simple algorithm for computing the promotion orbit length of rectangular SYT. We conclude the paper by applying our resu…

Evaluation of A National Digitally-Enabled Health Promotion Campaign for Mental Health Awareness using Social Media Platforms Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube
Mental health disorders rank among the 10 leading contributors to the global burden of diseases, yet persistent stigma and care barriers delay early intervention. This has inspired efforts to leverage digital platforms for scalable health promotion to engage at-risk populations. To evaluate the effectiveness of a digitally-enabled mental health promotion (DEHP) campaign, we conducted an observational cross-sectional study of a 3-month (February-April 2025) nation-wide campaign in Singapore.

Orbitmesy and promotion on self-dual posets
We introduce the notion of orbitmesy, which is related to homomesy, a central phenomenon in dynamical algebraic combinatorics. An orbit $O$ is said to be orbitmesic with respect to a statistic if the orbit's average statistic value is equal to the global average. We particularly focus on the action of promotion on increasing labelings of certain fence posets called zig-zag posets, and two statistics, the antipodal sum statistic and the total sum statistic. We classify all of the orbitmesic prom…

Promotion digraphs
Work of Gaetz, Pechenik, Pfannerer, Striker, and Swanson (2024) introduced promotion permutations for a rectangular standard Young tableau $T$. These promotion permutations encode important features of $T$ and its orbit under Schützenberger's promotion operator. Indeed, the promotion permutations uniquely determine the tableau $T$. We introduce more general promotion digraphs for both standard and increasing tableaux of arbitrary shape. For rectangular standard tableaux, this construction re…

International promotion patterns in the smart city literature: Exploring the role of geography in affecting local drivers and smart cities' outcomes
The rise of smart cities represents a significant trend in urban development. However, only in recent years has attention shifted toward the international promotion of these cities. Despite ongoing academic discussions on the impact of smart city development on urban environments, the global recognition of smart cities remains uncertain due to their multidisciplinary nature. To address this, we conducted a systematic literature review of articles published in top-tier peer-reviewed journals fro…

The promotion of Conservation Tillage Technology (CTT) is critical for mitigating global soil degradation, yet their actual adoption rates remain substantially lower than anticipated targets. Existing research predominantly focuses on static factor analyses, failing to adequately capture the dynamic evolutionary mechanisms of farmer strategic interactions and the impacts of information asymmetries in agricultural markets.

Reactive Users vs. Recommendation Systems: An Adaptive Policy to Manage Opinion Drifts
Recommendation systems are used in a range of platforms to maximize user engagement through personalization and the promotion of popular content. It has been found that such recommendations may shape users' opinions over time. In this paper, we ask whether reactive users, who are cognizant of the influence of the content they consume, can prevent such changes by adaptively adjusting their content consumption choices. To this end, we study users' opinion dynamics under two types of stochastic po…

Delayed transitions, promoted states and multistability in a pressure-driven nematic under an electric field
We consider the effects of an applied pressure gradient on the classical Freedericksz transition, finding a delayed transition, the promotion of particular director configurations and even pressure-induced multistability. Using the theoretical framework developed by Ericksen and Leslie, we find that the applied pressure gradient adapts the normal pitchfork bifurcation at critical applied voltage, leading to both a delayed bifurcation to higher voltages and a transformation from a supercritical …

K-promotion on m-packed labelings of posets
Schutzenberger's promotion operator, pro, is a fundamental map in dynamical algebraic combinatorics. At first, its action was mainly considered on standard Young tableaux. But pro was subsequently shown to have interesting properties when applied to natural labelings of other posets. Pechenik defined a K-theoretic version of promotion, pro_K, on m-packed labelings of tableaux. The operator pro was then extended to increasing labelings of other posets. The purpose of the current work is to show …

When Graph Contrastive Learning Backfires: Spectral Vulnerability and Defense in Recommendation
Graph Contrastive Learning (GCL) has demonstrated substantial promise in enhancing the robustness and generalization of recommender systems, particularly by enabling models to leverage large-scale unlabeled data for improved representation learning. However, in this paper, we reveal an unexpected vulnerability: the integration of GCL inadvertently increases the susceptibility of a recommender to targeted promotion attacks. Through both theoretical investigation and empirical validation, we iden…

When Measurement Mediates the Effect of Interest
Many health promotion strategies aim to improve reach into the target population and outcomes among those reached. For example, an HIV prevention strategy could expand the reach of risk screening and the delivery of biomedical prevention to persons with HIV risk. This setting creates a complex missing data problem: the strategy improves health outcomes directly and indirectly through expanded reach, while outcomes are only measured among those reached. To formally define the total causal effect…

Plabic Tangles and Cluster Promotion Maps
Inspired by the BCFW recurrence for tilings of the amplituhedron, we introduce the general framework of `plabic tangles' that utilizes plabic graphs to define rational maps between products of Grassmannians called `promotions'. The central conjecture of the paper is that promotion maps are quasi-cluster homomorphisms, which we prove for several classes of promotions. In order to define promotion maps, we utilize $m$-vector-relation configurations ($m$-VRCs) on plabic graphs. We relate $m$-VRCs …

Inventory record inaccuracy in grocery retailing: Impact of promotions and product perishability, and targeted effect of audits
We report the results of a study to identify and quantify drivers of inventory record inaccuracy (IRI) in a grocery retailing environment, a context where products are often subject to promotion activity and a substantial share of items are perishable. The analysis covers ~24,000 stock keeping units (SKUs) sold in 11 stores. We find that IRI is positively associated with average inventory level, restocking frequency, and whether the item is perishable, and negatively associated with promotional…
