Nothing Personal, Just Business
Authors: Stein Howard F.
Published: May 2024

Throughout the United States and indeed the world, organizations have become places of darkness, where emotional savagery and brutality are now commonplace and where psychological forms of violence--intimidation, degradation, dehumanization--are the norm. Stein succeeds in portraying this dramatically in his evocative, lucid new book, and in doing so he counters official pronouncements that simply because unemployment is low and productivity high, all is well. Through the use of symbolism and metaphor he gives us access to the interior experience of organizational life today. He employs a form of disciplined subjectivity, based on Freud's concept of counter-transference, and other methods to help us comprehend what such dominating notions as managed social change really mean. Downsizing, reengineering, managed care, endless organizational restructuring--all are presented as just business but in reality, says Stein, they are devastatingly personal in their effects. With numerous vignettes and anecdotes drawn from his formal and informal research, Dr. Stein shows us in often horrifying detail what work has come to be in so many of these dark places--but also what must happen, and can happen, to lift them into the light.

Through consultations, observation, and personal experience, Stein documents the ordinary assaults on the human spirit, a form of violence in the workplace that usually escapes common classification. By that he means culturally sanctioned violence, such as everyday forms of intimidation, ridicule, goading, and doubling of workloads--all in an asserted effort to make the workplace more productive, more competitive. His examples, metaphors, symbols, images come from the Holocaust and the Vietnam War, and refer back to other horrors in other times, the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition among them. His book demonstrates precisely how brutal so many of our rational business practices have become, and how disposable all of us ultimately are, at all levels, in all organizations. Stein draws upon a variety of research techniques, including a form of counter-transference based on Freud's concept, to understand the inner meanings and feelings contained in workplace metaphors and symbols. An incisive foreword by Dr. David B. Friedman, Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine, comments on this, puts the book in perspective and offers additional insights into Stein's themes and how brilliantly he develops them.
Over the Top
Authors: Paris Michael
Published: May 2024

During the Great War, books and stories for young men were frequently used as unofficial propaganda for recruitment and to sell the war to British youth as a moral crusade. Until now, this literature has been neglected by academics, but the image of the war these fictions created was remarkably enduring and, despite the appearance of post-war literature of disillusioned veterans, continued to shape the attitudes of the young well into the 1930s. This is the first detailed account of how adventure fiction represented the Great War for British boys between 1914 and the end of the war.

Paris examines how such literature explained the causes of the war to boys and girls and how it encouraged young men to participate in the noble crusade on the Western Front and in other theaters. He explores the imagery of the trenches, the war in the air, and the nature of war in the Middle East and Africa. He also details the links between popular writers and the official literary propaganda campaign. The study concludes by looking at how these heroic images remained in print, enduring well into the inter-war years.
Paradigm Debates in Curriculum and Supervision
Authors: Glanz Jeffrey , Behar-Horenstein Linda
Published: May 2024

Paradigm debates in the educational research community are a frequent if not common occurrence. How do paradigm debates in other educational fields, such as curriculum and supervision, shape educators' understanding and practice? In this volume, it is suggested that educators' adherence to particular views of curriculum and supervision is influential in guiding their beliefs and subsequent actions. For example, a widely accepted belief is that if an individual adopts a mechanistic view of the curriculum, then s/he is likely to deliver a curriculum grounded in pre-established objectives and evaluate student achievement in relationship to formulated objectives. Postmodernists contend that such educators are bound by rigid bifurcation and a constrictive linear logic. In supervision, educational leaders who favor leadership styles comprised by autocratic behaviors, tend to create school climates that favor a top-down approach to human relationships. Autocratic leaders rely on hierarchical organizational structures and styles that seek to instill compliance and subordinance. Yet prospective administrators who want concrete proposals put in practice find modern perspectives of supervision helpful. In contrast, postmodern supervisors allege that such leaders disallow the emergence of relevant and authentic relationships that might occur when conventional hierarchical structures are diminished and open lines of communication between teachers, students, administrators become normative.

The chapters in this book present an in-depth analysis of how an individual's predisposition towards modern and postmodern views of curriculum and supervision are likely to influence: (1) curriculum development, (2) teaching styles, (3) leadership styles, (4) teacher and student evaluation, and (5) the missions intrinsic to the creation of professional preparation programs that serve to promulgate existing practice or create a new order of teachers and administrator.
The People, Press, and Politics of Croatia
Authors: Malovic Stjepan , Selnow Gary W.
Published: May 2024

Malovic and Selnow examine the evolution of the press-government relationship in Croatia from the Tito era to the present. Their story is one of three interacting players: the Croatian government which until recently has sat firmly in control, the compliant press which seemed little motivated to change, and the largely quiescent public which demanded little from its press or its government. A provocative, often first-hand account that will be of interest to scholars and researchers involved with Balkan current affairs, journalism, and politics.
Peoples of the Gran Chaco
Authors: Miller Elmer
Published: May 2024

The Gran Chaco region of South America constitutes a cultural area that is little known and largely misunderstood by the majority of people living outside its borders. From the earliest period of European contact, the societies under consideration here defended their territory and resisted first colonial and later national policies of domination and assimilation. The unique forms such resistance took constitute the subject of this book. Contrary to common assumptions, the hunter-gatherer values forged out of a unique environment have shown remarkable resilience throughout the centuries. It is the variety and relentless nature of cultural resistance that is documented in the various chapters presented here.

The points of view expressed are those of scholars trained in a variety of academic settings (England, Sweden, U.S., Argentina) each with its unique perspective and frame of reference. Four of the seven writers are Argentine, three of whom have received training and experience in the U.S. Yet, it is the individual voices of indigenous people themselves that tell the story of contemporary life as experienced in the various societies concerned. They tell about the conditions that shape their lives and engender resistance to full assimilation into the white man's world. These are the voices of the future.
Pistols
Authors: Kinard Jeff
Published: May 2024

The development of the pistol helped bring the age of the armored knight to an end, provided the elite with a status symbol of dangerous glamour, and inspired both artisans and industrialists to reach new heights of invention.

Pistolsfollows the evolution of personal sidearms in Europe, the United States, and Asia from medieval-era "hand cannons" with their clunky ignition systems, to the revolutionary Colt revolvers of the 19th century, to the modern semiautomatic weapons of today.

Full of fascinating insights and details, this work shows how pistols brought about the decline of knights in armor, and ultimately replaced the sword on the battlefield. The book also explores the pistol's astonishing "democratization" as it moved from being a luxury item of the nobility, to standard issue for soldiers, to a mass-produced commodity and source of intensive corporate competition. Along the way, readers meet the many colorful characters (often eccentric geniuses) who devoted themselves to pistol development.

Post-1965 Immigration to the United States
Authors: Yang Philip Q.
Published: May 2024

Why do countries differ substantially in the size of legal permanent immigration to the United States since 1965, even after the repeal of the discriminatory national origins quota system? The author demonstrates that development theory, world system theory and immigrants' social network theory all contain partial truths, but not one of them captures the entire immigration process. Here cross-national differences in the size of post-1965 immigration are shown as the outcomes of multi-dimensional forces, including the source country's development, U.S. involvement in the country, immigrants' resources, and the interactions of these factors. Scholars and readers interested in immigration, demography, sociology, history, international relations, cross-national analysis and social change will find this book an interesting and useful addition to their list of resources.
100 Black Women Who Shaped America
Authors: Starks Glenn L.
Published: May 2024

This introductory text explores the lives of 100 Black women and their unique and meaningful legacies upon the history, society, and culture of the USA.

Today, the names and remarkable achievements of Black women such as Maya Angelou, Serena Williams, Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey are well known to many Americans. Yet throughout American history, many lesser-known Black women like them have made invaluable contributions to sports, science, the arts, medicine, politics, and civil rights. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, who published the first newspaper written for and by African American women, championed the cause of women's suffrage. Matilda Sissieretta Jones, whose father was an enslaved person, toured Europe and performed at the White House in front of four different presidents as one of the great sopranos of her generation. Augusta Savage, overcoming racism and sexism, became one of the most celebrated sculptors in history. This book serves as an important reminder that the story of America cannot be told without the Black women who, with strength and determination, have always pushed America forward even when others held them back.

Attitudes, Habits and Pedagogic Usage of Code-Switching among Bachelor of Secondary Education-Major in English Students
Authors: llarde Lord Mark Jayson B. , Ponce Lemuel O. , Duran Carol F. , Solis Charisse Angelica P. , Villegas hun Carlo M.
Published: May 2024

Code-switching is a phenomenon that frequently occurs inside an ESL classroom. The general inquiry of this study was to determine the attitudes and habits of the respondents in terms of code-switching, and underscore its various pedagogical applications. A combined total of 55 Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSED) Major in English students from Cagayan State University (CSU) Aparri and Lasam served as the participants of the study. The researchers utilized a mixed-method design, specifically a descriptive-correlational in determining the relationship between their profile variables, attitudes and habits towards language shift. Quantitative research design was the means to collect their profile, attitudes and habits while qualitative design was used for the enumeration of the pedagogical applications of code-switching as perceived by the respondents. They were chosen using simple random sampling technique. The main instrument used was a six-part survey questionnaire. (1) Demographic profile, (2) attitudes of student-participants towards code-switching, (3) the frequency of the use of code-switching (4) attitudes toward code switchers, (5) habits of students on code-switching (6) enumeration of the different pedagogical uses of code-switching in the classroom. Frequency, percentage counts, percentage distribution, means and standard deviations were utilized for profile variables and Five-point rating scale and weighted means were used to describe the attitudes and habits of the students towards code switching. Findings revealed that a positive attitude is associated among male respondents and those whose gender orientation is different from their sex. More so, it was found that Native Language is the only variable that significantly influences their habits on code-switching. It could also be noted that the respondents don’t always code-switch as they are English major students. Ultimately, code-switching is most commonly used as a pedagogical tool in recitation, as it reaped the highest frequency having been mentioned 44 times among the 55 respondents. Ultimately, code-switching is most commonly used as a pedagogical tool in recitation. This study contributes hugely to the positive impressions of students towards code-switching in terms of their social, academic and professional development. The researchers’ work will help better understand when and how to use code switching in their own classes to increase learning and teaching effectively. It is therefore recommended that students must not hesitate to code-switch if it’s needed. Teachers must also incorporate code-switching into their classroom routines to establish better understanding of material. Future researchers are encouraged to continue to study the nuances of language in bilingual contexts, as this knowledge can inform and improve language pedagogy in multilingual societies.

Published: May 2024

Objective: To study the correlation of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) with in-hospital mortality in patients of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
Study Design: Analytical Cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology/National Institute of Heart Diseases, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from Jul-Dec 2022.
Methodology: One hundred and sixty patients regardless of gender and presented with ACS were included in this study. Their venous blood samples were taken, at the time of admission and were analyzed by the CBC analyzer (Mandray BC 6200) at pathology laboratory and who were delineated into high NLR (>5.25) and low NLR (≤5.25) groups. Their in-hospital morbidity and mortality outcomes were noted. Chi-squared test was applied to compare qualitative variables. Independent samples t-test was applied to compare mean values. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve of NLR for predicting in-hospital mortality was plotted, and p-value of <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: Out of n=160 patients, 88(55.0%) were in low NLR group, while 72(45.0%) were in high NLR group. In-hospital mortality was statistically higher in the high NLR group 17(23.6%) vs low NLR group, 3(3.4%), p<0.001). The area under the ROC curve of NLR for predicting in-hospital mortality was 0.75(0.64-0.84). The best cut-off value of NLR to predict in-hospital mortality was 6.70(72.9% sensitivity, 70% specificity)
Conclusion: Patients in high NLR group have statistically higher in-hospital mortality. NLR is a sensitive and specific predictor of in-hospital mortality. Patients in the high NLR group also had lower mean EF, and higher mean troponin levels.

Study Design: Analytical, Cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology, National Institute of Heart Diseases, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Apr-Jun 2023.
Methodology: One hundred and ninety-eight patients who underwent Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction patients presenting within 12-hours were included using non-probability consecutive sampling technique. Patients were divided into two groups (Group-I= SBP/LVEDP ratio ≤4; Group-II= SBP/LVEDP ratio >4). SBP and LVEDP were measured during Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Demographic and clinical data, including risk factors and laboratory findings, were collected and SBP/LVEDP ratio was calculated. Study variables were compared among groups by applying independent t-test and Chi-square test. p-value<0.05 was kept as significant.
Results: Among the study sample of 198, 126(63.6%) were males and females were 72(36.3%), mean age was 61.31±9.16 years. 21(10.6%) patients had SBP/LVEDP ratio≤4 (Group-I), while 177(89.3%) patients had SBP/LVEDP ratio>4 (Group-II). Group-I showed a higher prevalence of heart failure 5(23.8%), lower ejection fraction (35.48±7.56%), longer duration of in-hospital stay (8.76±2.48 days) (p<0.05), and higher TIMI scores (9.28±1.10) compared to Group-II. In-hospital mortality was also higher in Group-I (33.3%), compared to Group-II (6.2%) (p<0.05).

Demander de l'aide en mathématiques pour apprendre ou pour avancer sans effort ?
Authors:   , Rezzonico Linda
Published: May 2024

La demande d’aide est une stratégie d'apprentissage de gestion des ressources. Elle est utilisée soit de manière adaptative, en amenant les élèves à résoudre des problèmes rencontrés et à améliorer leur apprentissage ; soit de manière négative, en amenant les élèves à obtenir la bonne réponse, réduisant ainsi leurs efforts et créant des lacunes d'apprentissage. Un échantillon de 238 élèves de dernière année du cycle d'orientation et du collège du canton de Fribourg a été questionné sur son utilisation de la demande d'aide en mathématiques. L'objectif de ce mémoire est de comprendre comment les élèves demandent de l'aide, en intégrant un certain nombre de facteurs tels que les buts d’accomplissement des élèves, la structure de buts de classe perçue, les relations entre élèves, le sentiment d'efficacité académique, le niveau scolaire, le sexe biologique et la note obtenue en mathématiques ; afin de pouvoir établir les facteurs associés à l'utilisation de la demande d’aide adaptative, à intégrer dans les pratiques pédagogiques des enseignant.e.s. Selon les résultats de cette recherche, pour encourager l'utilisation de cette forme d'aide, il serait nécessaire d'encourager les élèves à poursuivre les buts de maîtrise, d'établir une structure de buts de maîtrise dans la classe et de promouvoir des relations de qualité entre les élèves.

Педагогические и психологические проблемы инклюзивного образования
Authors: Исмаилова Роза
Published: May 2024

В процессе обучения в каждом образовательном учреждении основная ответственность и ответственность ложится на преподавателей и педагогический коллектив. Как профессиональные, так и личностные качества преподавателей оказывают непосредственное влияние на информацию, которую они передают студентам в процессе обучения, а также им самим. Учитывая, что эти учителя работают не в школах с типичными учениками, а в школах с инклюзивным контингентом, то ответственность учителей возрастает вдвое. Потому что в этом вопросе им следует быть более чуткими к ученикам, проявлять к ним больше понимания, учитывать индивидуальные особенности каждого ученика, быть очень осторожными как во время обучения, так и при общении со студентами. Формирование коммуникативных навыков учащихся и их адаптация в обществе является предвестником развития профессиональных качеств педагогов. В целом, с точки зрения подготовки детей с особыми потребностями к обучению вместе со своими типичными сверстниками, реконструкция учебных заведений, совершенствование педагогических кадров и поиски в других областях считаются одним из требований современной эпохи.
Doğu Akdeniz’de güç mücadelesi: sorunlar çerçevesinde kiyidaş devletlerin tutumlari

Published: May 2024

Doğu Akdeniz, dünya tarihi boyunca önemli bir coğrafyada yer almış ve birçok medeniyete, üç büyük tek tanrılı dine ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Ancak bulunduğu konum nedeniyle uzun süre barışın sağlanamadığı bu bölge, 2000'li yıllarda hidrokarbon kaynaklarının keşfedilmesiyle yeniden bir mücadele merkezi haline gelmiştir. Küresel güçlerin de ilgisini çeken Doğu Akdeniz, özellikle 2011'den itibaren bölgesel devletlerin mücadele alanı olmuştur. Bu durum, bölgedeki jeopolitik ve stratejik önemi daha da artırmıştır. Bu çalışma, Doğu Akdeniz'in tarihsel, stratejik ve ekonomik önemine dikkat çekerek, deniz yetki alanlarının paylaşımı konusunda Türkiye ve diğer kıyıdaş devletlerin tutumlarına ilişkin tespitler yapmaktadır. Makalede, 1982 yılında Birleşmiş Devletler Deniz Hukuku Sözleşmesi (BMDHS) ile tanımlanan münhasır ekonomik bölge kavramı, Doğu Akdeniz'deki deniz yetki alanları uyuşmazlığıyla birlikte uluslararası hukuk kuralları çerçevesinde incelenecektir. Bu bölgedeki doğalgaz ve petrol yatakları uyuşmazlıkları, Güney Kıbrıs Rum Yönetimi'nin (GKRY) diğer devletlerle yaptığı münhasır ekonomik bölge anlaşmaları nedeniyle artmıştır. Ancak Türkiye ve Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti (KKTC), bu anlaşmaların uluslararası hukuk kurallarına aykırı olduğunu ileri sürerek kabul etmemektedir. Bu nedenle, GKRY tarafından verilen petrol ve doğalgaz arama ruhsatları hukuki açıdan incelenmelidir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye liderliğinde Doğu Akdeniz'deki sorunların adil çözümü için uygulanacak ilkeleri ve olası çözümün nasıl olabileceğini ortaya koyması bakımından önemlidir. Araştırmannın amacı, bölgedeki sorunların çözümüne katkı sağlamaktır.

Published: May 2024

Збудником хвороби котячої подряпини є Bartonella henselae., основним проявом якої є лімфоаденопатія, яка може проявлятися бацилярним ангіоматозом, ураженням внутрішніх органів, суглобів, очей, серця, нирок. Дане захворювання часто зустрічається в практичній роботі лікарів, проте при атиповій формі, яка спостерігається у 20% пацієнтів населення буває вчасно недіагностована, імітує лімфоаденопатії спричинені пухлинами м`яких тканин та кісток, іншими бактерійними збудниками. Причинами запізнілої діагностики та лікування хвороби котячої подряпини часто буває недостатній збір епіданамнезу, відсутність настороженності лікарів, насамперед, хірургів щодо клінічних проявів хвороби та пізнє проведення обстежень для з’ясування етіологічного чинника захворювання. Інфікування Bartonella henselae варто враховувати в усіх випадках лімфаденіту нез’ясованої етіології, що супроводжується підвищеною температурою тіла, інтоксикаційним синдромом та тривалим перебігом. Для запобігання розвитку гнійних ускладнень, уникнення необгрунтованих інвазивних процедур, важливим є своєчасна діагностика та проведення відповідного антибактерійного лікування на початковому етапі маніфестації клінічних проявів хвороби котячої подряпини.
Решение экстремальных задач геометрии элементарными методами
Authors: Гасанов Абдулла , Джафарова Рухия , Багирова Джамала
Published: May 2024

К сожалению, по разным причинам в школьном курсе математики недостаточно внимания уделяется решению задач экстремальной геометрии. С такими заданиями в лучшем случае сталкиваются школьники после изучения производной ставки в старших классах. Поэтому экстремальные задачи геометрии решаются стандартными методами с применением производной. Но вопросы геометрии экстремумов имеют богатый материал, демонстрирующий силу и важность ранее изученных формул и теорем. Кроме того, многие задания демонстрируют тесную связь между алгеброй и геометрией, что важно в школьном курсе математики. Хотя экстремальные задачи по геометрии можно решать методами дифференциального исчисления, но часто возникает необходимость решать задачи по экстремальной геометрии элементарными методами, без использования элементов дифференциального исчисления. Это обусловлено двумя причинами: 1) незнанием учащимися элементов дифференциального исчисления; 2) в некоторых случаях решение экстремальных задач с использованием элементарных методов выполняется легче и эффективнее. В данной статье теоретически и практически изучается решение задач экстремальной геометрии элементарными методами. Статья важна для специалистов, преподавателей, студентов и школьников, занимающихся элементарной математикой..

A esplenomegalia é uma condição médica caracterizada pelo aumento do tamanho do baço além dos seus limites normais. O baço é um órgão localizado no quadrante superior esquerdo do abdome, cuja função inclui a filtragem de sangue, a destruição de células sanguíneas velhas e a produção de linfócitos. A esplenomegalia pode ser um indicador de diversas patologias subjacentes e é frequentemente descoberta durante um exame físico ou por meio de métodos de imagem como a ultrassonografia ou a tomografia computadorizada. A esplenomegalia pode ser assintomática ou apresentar-se com sintomas como desconforto abdominal, sensação de plenitude após a ingestão de pequenas quantidades de comida, dor referida ao ombro esquerdo e, em casos severos, complicações como hiperesplenismo (excesso de destruição de células sanguíneas). O diagnóstico de esplenomegalia baseia-se na história clínica, exame físico, e métodos de imagem. Esta revisão narrativa de literatura reuniu artigos publicados nos últimos dez anos nas bases de dados PUBMED e SciELO, objetivando indicar quais são as principais condições que podem levar à esplenomegalia. Concluiu-se que pode ser causada principalmente por infecções, hemopatias, hepatopatias, doenças metabólicas e autoimunes.

A plasticidade neural é um fenômeno crítico na recuperação funcional após acidentes vasculares cerebrais (AVC), permitindo ao cérebro reorganizar-se e formar novas conexões sinápticas. Esta revisão integrativa examina as evidências científicas sobre as intervenções terapêuticas que promovem a neuroplasticidade e avalia sua eficácia na reabilitação pós-AVC. Abordagens como a terapia intensiva de reabilitação, tecnologias de neuromodulação e intervenções farmacológicas foram analisadas, destacando seus impactos na melhoria da recuperação funcional dos pacientes. Os resultados sugerem que, apesar da variabilidade individual na resposta às terapias, estratégias personalizadas e multimodais apresentam maior potencial para otimizar a recuperação. A identificação de biomarcadores preditivos e a integração de técnicas avançadas de neuroimagem e neuromodulação são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento de intervenções mais eficazes. As perspectivas futuras indicam que a colaboração interdisciplinar será essencial para avançar na aplicação clínica das descobertas sobre plasticidade neural, melhorando significativamente os desfechos de saúde e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes pós-AVC.

Published: May 2024

Abstract. The ice streams feeding Dotson and Crosson Ice Shelves are some of the fastest changing in West Antarctica. We use satellite observations to measure the change in ice speed and flow direction on eight ice streams in the Pope, Smith and Kohler region of West Antarctica from 2005 to 2022. Seven ice streams have sped up at the grounding line, with the largest increase in ice speed at Smith West Glacier (87 %) whilst Kohler West Glacier has slowed by 10 %. We observe progressive redirection of ice flowlines from Kohler West into the more rapidly thinning and accelerating Kohler East Glacier, resulting in the deceleration of Kohler West Glacier and eastward migration of the ice divide between Dotson and Crosson Ice Shelves. These observations reveal previously undocumented impacts of spatially varying ice speed and thickness changes on flow direction and ice flux into downstream ice shelves, which may influence ice shelf and sheet mass change during the 21st century.
Airborne Cross-Source Point Clouds Fusion by Slice-to-Slice Adjustment

Published: May 2024

Abstract. Point cloud fusion is a process plays pivotal role in geospatial data analysis that aims to integrate data from multiple sources to create a comprehensive and precise representation of the environment. Integrating point clouds acquired from cross-source or hybrid sensors presents unique challenges due to differences in geometric accuracy, precision, and the size of data gaps, along with variations in available attributes. Significant progress has been made in developing algorithms and methods to address these challenges, but the problems are not sufficiently resolved and remain one of the most challenging aspects of geospatial data processing. In this paper, we present a new approach for airborne cross-source point cloud fusion through a slice-to-slice adjustment. Our method generates cross-sectional slices and aligns them following some sequential steps. This approach enhances the accuracy and completeness of the fused point cloud, overcoming issues related to geometric disparities and data gaps. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in improving registration accuracy, preserving geometric detail, and providing valuable insights for utilizing the potentials of both data sources.
Modelling multi-density urban expansion using Cellular Automata for Brussels Metropolitan Development Area

Published: May 2024

Abstract. Our studies aim at modelling and simulating urban expansion scenarios for Brussels capital region, Brabant of Flanders and Wallonia. Thereby we use a non-ordered multinomial logistic regression (MLR) coupled with cellular automata. Our model helps to study the probability for built-up development based on a) impact of different causative factors on expansion process and b) effect of the neighbouring cells on future built-up development. In our study, we have used 100×100 m raster data representing cadastral built-up of our study area. The model is then calibrated using the maps for years 2000–2010 and to simulate 2020. Thereto, simulated 2020 maps has been validated with observed 2020 built-up maps using fuzzy set theory. Our results show that all through our study, zoning or land use policies play an important role for expansion along all the built-up density classes. Besides, slope distance to highways and major cities encourages new urban development commonly known as ‘Urban sprawls’. Distance to main roads, employment opportunities aids to further development from low density to medium density areas. While most of the factors impact negatively to further high density development showing that our area is highly governed by the zoning status in case of densification.

Abstract. The distribution and quantity of trees within a city impacts issues such as urban heat islands, air quality and general city planning. Having an automatic procedure for cataloguing them can be a valuable aid for future urban planning and design. In this paper, the forestry surveying neural network, DeepForest, is utilised for tree detection in the urban environment. The study area covers District Lozenets, which is the greenest part of Sofia, Bulgaria. Three distinct approaches are implemented considering the urban vegetation context - a simple tree detection, a tree cluster detection and a mixing approach between the two based on approximation with Poisson Disk Sampling. The evaluation of the developed models, in terms of F-1 score, shows that the achieved results are comparable to the ones achieved by the original application of the DeepForest model. Due to the specifics of urban data, all models tended to achieve a higher precision but a lower recall than the original DeepForest. Conditions, such as shade from the sun, buildings or other trees, make the detection more challenging. The obtained results prove the feasibility of the proposed approaches, even with a small amount of labelled data. The tree cluster and mixed approaches have the potential to resolve part of the issues coming from the urban environment context of application.

Abstract. As urbanization accelerates, traffic congestion and frequent accidents have become prominent issues, prompting the development of intelligent transportation systems. This paper focuses on the research of vehicle and pedestrian detection algorithms to improve detection accuracy in complex traffic environments. Considering the limitations of traditional object detection algorithms in complex situations, this study adopts the deep learning-based YOLOv8 algorithm and introduces the Coordinate Attention (CA) module to enhance the model's feature extraction and localization capabilities. Experimental results show that the improved YOLOv8 network achieves a 1.1% increase in detection accuracy while maintaining its original speed. Furthermore, this paper constructs a vehicle and pedestrian dataset suitable for Chinese traffic scenes, providing an effective solution for autonomous driving assistance systems. Overall, this study holds significant reference value for vehicle and pedestrian detection in the field of intelligent transportation.
A GeoSpatial Information System for Photovoltaic Plants Development and Monitoring

Abstract. Photovoltaic (PV) energy production is supposed to hugely increase during current and next decades. PV plants of any extension, technology and power are supposed to be developed and monitored, with the awareness that monitoring phase lasts around 25 years. One of the major challenges of PV plant industry is to choose suitable sites for plant installation and optimal configuration to maximize energy production. In fact, not all places are suitable for solar energy generation, due to several factors, like environmental factors (e.g., solar radiation, wind, shading), technical factors (e.g., distance from the distribution line), economic factors (e.g., development of local economies), and social/political factors (e.g., public acceptance, protected areas). We propose to address the problem of solar PV site selection using a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach together with geographic information system (GIS) software to determine the most suitable area or alternative, both in case of rural environments and smart city installations. The resulting framework, highly-integrated with several EU sources and initiatives, can be used for crucial steps in PV plants lifecycle, from initial design to monitoring and maintenance.
