Authors: Alraouf Ali A.
Published: February 2023

The chapter discusses future perceptions of the state of human society in the post-Corona pandemic era, particularly, focusing on the areas of the urban environment and its architectural and urban components. The discussion includes the problems of urban isolation, just cities and the value of public spaces after the pandemic and highlights the situation of Middle Eastern Arab cities. The chapter argues that the pandemic provides an opportunity to reconsider urban planning priorities and how to deal with architectural and urban spaces considering lessons learned from the repercussions of the pandemic. The nature of theoretical thesis, or architectural, urban, and planning practices, is responsible for looking forward, formulating visions and offering alternatives. The Corona pandemic provided an opportunity for reflections and perceptions of how humans deal with the earth to achieve their needs, from different housing and community services. Accordingly, the approach adopted in the study was based on monitoring and monitoring the repercussions of the pandemic, understanding the local, regional, and global context, and then formulating a vision framework for the future with a focus on Middle Eastern cities. The study formulates several research questions, is there a model for a city that is resistant to the pandemic? How is the epidemic linked to issues of scale, urban size, and urban social justice? What is the impact of the epidemic on urbanization and urban planning design? How will existing and new cities plan to be flexible, resistant, and fair? How will innovation meet the challenge and produce new neighborhoods? How will architecture provide a new understanding of public and private spaces? .

Pollution abatement and environmental preservation
Authors: Gautam Ashutosh , Khanna D. R.
Published: February 2023

In the recent years there has been a growing concern over the problem of municipal and industrial waste disposal. In India city sewage, distilleries, tanneries, breweries, sugar mill and food processing units are the major source of organic pollution in water resources. Our growing concern about the availability of clean environment/water makes us more conscious to develop effective and beneficial treatment technologies for the liquid wastes. Anaerobic treatment of liquid waste, having high concentration of biodegradable organic matter, is a competent method to overcome this problem. With the aid of anaerobic treatment technology such wastes can be used to extract some useful products/by products and energy, like-biogas. Biogas is a clean and effective substitute of other conventional energy sources, i.e. coal. The paper highlights major issues of anaerobic treatment along-with the cost economics.

Authors: Malik D.S. , Malik Amrita
Published: February 2023

Phenol and Phenolic compounds are well known components in aqueous waste of many different pollution generating industries. These compounds must be regarded as hazardous to the environment and are resistant to biological degradation. Degradation of Phenol in the presence of hexavalent chromium was studied using phenol degrading bacteria, Pseudomonas putida. The bacteria was able to degrade phenol up to 80% in the absence of chromium but the degradation was increased up to 81.67% in the presence of 25mg/l initial concentration of chromium (VI). The degradation was declined further up to 21.67%, when concentration of Chromium (VI) was applied 50mg/l.
Effect of air pollution on photosynthesis-A study of its effect on oxygen evolution
Authors: Negi Chandra Singh , Varshney C. K.
Published: February 2023

This paper deals with the effect of urban air pollution on oxygen evolution by common tropical avenue tree species growing along three important traffic corridors in the capital city of Delhi. Oxygen evolution was measured using Clark-type Hansatech oxygen electrode (U.K.) A marked reduction in oxygen evolution was observed in five species of tropical avenue trees, viz., Azadirachta indica A.Juss, Alstonis scholaris R.Br. Ficus religiosa Linn., Ficus benghalensis Linn. and Morus alba Linn. growing along three important traffic corridors in the capital city of Delhi. Reduction in oxygen evolution was found to be related to the intensity of air pollution resulting from growing automobile traffic. In respect of oxygen evolution, Ficus religiosa was found to be the most sensitive, while Alstonia scholaris was relatively tolerant to roadside automobile pollution. The results of this study suggest that sensitivity of oxygen evolution to air pollution can be an important criteria for selecting avenue trees for road side plantation along high traffic corridors in urban areas and for raising green belts in and around industrial complexes.

Atrazine Persistence in Sediment of Aquatic Microcosms
Authors: Torres Luana Dandara Barreto , Coelho Lucia Helena Gomes
Published: February 2023

Atrazine is a mutagenic, carcinogenic, and environmentally persistent herbicide commonly detected in natural waters and sediment due to its broad use in corn, sugarcane, and sorghum plantations. Though largely studied, investigations on atrazine’s fate and routes of transformation in freshwater environments have been somewhat scarce and fragmented. Thereby, the purpose of this study is to comprehend the physicochemical destiny of atrazine in the sediment of laboratory-based aquatic freshwater microcosms. Four microcosms with a capacity of 40 L were set up in the laboratory after the preparation of standard synthetic sediment (composed of peat moss, medium-sized grain sand, and white clay) and filled with tap water. Two of these systems (labeled 1 and 3) were contaminated with atrazine, resulting in an overall initial concentration of 100 μg L-1 in each, whereas the other two systems (labeled 2 and 4) were maintained under control conditions. The assays were monitored for 43 weeks in total, for pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), total dissolved solids (TDS), apparent color, turbidity, and temperature. Atrazine was added to the systems only in the 14th week (100 μg L-1) and quantified in the water column in the 38th week (46 μg L-1) through liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, showing that the initial concentration of atrazine in the water column decayed by approximately 50% during this period. This finding indicates that the herbicide underwent biological and/or physicochemical transformations in the water column and sediment. The systems’ water was replaced in the 40th week, after which the atrazine concentration in the water column returned to equilibrium (46 μg L-1), revealing that the sediment can function as a repository of the compound in the systems’ aquatic environment.

Klony te, wyselekcjonowane w IHAR — PIB w Młochowie, w Pracowni Genetyki, są mieszańcami międzygatunkowymi ziemniaka Solanum tuberosum powstałymi z udziałem dzikich i uprawnych gatunków Solanum. Klony testowano pod względem odporności na patotypy: 1(D1), 2(G1), 2(Ch1), 3(M1), 6(O1), 8(F1), 18(T1) i 39(P1) S. endobioticum, pochodzące z kolekcji Pracowni Organizmów Kwarantannowych. Testy oceny odporności na patotypy S. endobioticum wykonano zmodyfikowaną metodą Glynne-Lemmerzahla. Z 288 badanych klonów wyselekcjonowano 101 odpornych na patotyp 1(D1). Grupę 70 klonów testowano pod względem odporności na pięć patotypów 2(G1), 2(Ch1), 6(O1), 8(F1) i 18(T1) S. endobioticum, 44 z nich dodatkowo na patotyp 3(M1), a 22 klony dodatkowo na patotypy 3(M1) oraz 39(P1). W wyniku testów wyselekcjonowano siedem diploidalnych klonów ziemniaka jednocześnie odpornych na siedem wirulentnych patotypów S. endobioticum: 2(G1), 2(Ch1), 3(M1), 6(O1), 8(F1), 18(T1) i 39(P1). Są to wyjątkowo złożone rekombinanty pod względem odporności na patotypy S. endobioticum, jakich dotychczas nie opisano w innych pracach. Mieszańce te są materiałem do poszukiwania i lokalizacji na mapie genetycznej ziemniaka markerów sprzężonych z odpornością na poszczególne patotypy S. endobioticum. Odporne klony diploidalne charakteryzują się dobrym poziomem cech jakościowych i odpornościowych. Pięć z nich wytwarza męskie gamety o niezredukowanej liczbie chromosomów (gamety 2n), dzięki którym allele odporności na patotypy S. endobioticum można przekazać na poziom tetraploidalny w krzyżowaniach 4x × 2x.
Alterations in metabolic status of healthy individuals with and without obesity during transition from adolescence to young adulthood
Authors: Sonoli Smita S. , Kothiwale Veerappa A. , Channashetti Reshma D.
Published: February 2023

Aim: Extensive research is carried out throughout the world in healthy persons with obesity phenotype in concern with prevalence, metabolic profiling, etc. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, not many studies have investigated the status of adiponectin, specific inflammatory changes, oxidative damage in healthy adolescents and young adults with obesity. Present study was undertaken in adolescents and young adults of urban population in a district of North Karnataka, India, in a view to understand relationship between hormone adiponectin, oxidative stress markers like C3, C4, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in non-hypertensive, non-diabetic, euthyroid individuals with and without obesity.
Methods: Participant selection was done using cluster sampling technique. Participating adolescents and young adults, each with and without obesity were included in the study. Screening of participants for diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid disorders was done, their serum level of adiponectin, hs-CRP, C3, C4, ceruloplasmin (Cp), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were estimated using standardized methods in National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) laboratory.
Results: Adiponectin (young adults lower than adolescents, P = 0.01) levels were low, while hs-CRP and Cp (young adults higher than adolescents, P = 0.01) levels were high with increasing age in non-obese. While in persons having obesity, aging adiponectin levels were low while hs-CRP, C3, Cp levels were high significantly. Females without obesity had significantly higher values of C3 than males. Adiponectin showed higher levels in females than males, however, statistical significance could not be achieved (P = 0.308). While females with obesity, exhibited statistically lower levels of adiponectin, and higher levels of C3 and C4.
Conclusions: Being non-diabetic and non-hypertensive yet obese, tagged by one time of assay, does not suffice to be categorized as healthy. Healthy young adults with obesity are exhibiting lower levels of adiponectin and higher levels of inflammatory and oxidative stress markers compared to adolescents with obesity. This implies, the so categorized “healthy obese” participants are in a phase of transition towards an unhealthy state.

In the last two decades, Asia has become the world's fastest economically growing area. Countries in Southeast Asia are growing at an increasing rate. For instance, the average annual income is increasing from 4% to 8%, population from 2% to 3%, urbanization from 4% to 6%, and meat consumption from 4% to 8%. In this region, pork is the most important source of meat, accounting for approximately 58% of total meat output. However, pig production in the region is small in scale with more than 70% being smallholders. Regional and national goals to reach the international market threaten traditional pig production due to its perceived low standard of output. Alongside, natural resources are under high pressure from heavy pollution emanating from pig production. Industrialization has caused the migration of the pig population from rural areas to the outskirts of big cities like Manila, Ho Chi Minh, and Siemriep, or Phnom Penh. Industrialization has also resulted in air, soil, and water pollution in these cities. In addition, the region shares a huge area of the South China Sea and by intensive pig keeping, surplus nutrients and minerals flow into that sea. This paper aims to: 1) provide an overview of the current pig production situation in certain selected ASEAN countries, namely Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, and Vietnam; 2) analyze how these changes may occur over the coming years and how it will affect the livelihoods of different types of pig farmers (large, medium, small); 3) identify some of the constraints that will need to be overcome (e.g., environmental impact, disease challenge, breed loss, effect of globalization, marginalization of small farmers, climate change issues); and 4) to pinpoint certain guidelines for drawing up a regional strategy on pig production.
Food Safety in Southeast Asia: Challenges Facing the Region
Authors:   Codex Alimentarius Commission, Othman Noraini Mohd
Published: February 2023

The paper tackles the issue of food safety, which is generally defined as the assurance that food will not cause harm to the consumer when it is prepared and/or eaten according to its intended use. Echoing the recognition by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1996 that food safety is an element of food security, the paper discusses the importance of the food trade in the economies of many countries, as reflected in the health, economic and political consequences that arise when the food safety system of a country fails. It focuses on the Southeast Asian experience—their food marketing system, the current food safety situation, as well as the complexities brought about by the concern for food safety. Highlighted are the challenges in establishing and strengthening the key components of a food control system to ensure safety along the whole food chain continuum, the relationship between Codex standards and related texts, as well as the enormous responsibility faced by Southeast Asian countries in meeting the obligations of the World Trade Organization. Finally, several recommendations are outlined, stressing the importance of carrying out a needs assessment, participating more actively in Codex work, and taking advantage of the existing collaborative initiatives undertaken, including those in ASEAN, and the various technical assistance available for capacity-building in food safety.

Authors: Jain Jolly
Published: February 2023

As digitalization continues to unleash upheaval, the role and responsibilities of PR agencies is undergoing a dramatic transformation and hence, require significant review. This study aims to deepen the understanding of the various digital outreach services provided by organizations while exploring the various threats that PR agencies face and the strategies that can effectively overcome those threats. The study used a survey research methodology covering a sample of 58 PR professionals from the Jaipur district of Rajasthan. Social media marketing, influencer marketing, and online media buying are the top three digital promotion services that PR agencies offer. The research shows that digitalization and reputation management are the biggest changes that PR is most likely to face over the next five years. Changing market demands, the speed and volume of information flow, and the digitalization of traditional media are the top threats to the changing landscape of PR. Employing the latest technology and developing team skills are the most effective strategies for overcoming identified threats. Collectively, these findings will help understand the PR agencies around the world, the evolving role of PR and, most importantly, how it remains an essential part in the arena of effective communication.
Power Efficient Strassen’s Algorithm using AVX512 and OpenMP in a Multi-core Architecture
Authors: Oo Nwe Zin , Chaikan Panyayot
Published: February 2023

This paper presents an effective implementation of Strassen's algorithm for matrix-matrix multiplication on shared memory multi-core architecture. The proposed algorithm aims to augment the computation speed in terms of GFLOPS performance on average 4.5 and 4.1 times faster than Eigen and OpenBLAS, respectively while reducing the power consumption to as low as possible. Our algorithm relies on using AVX512 intrinsics, loop unrolling factor, and OpenMP directives. A new 2D blocking data allocation pattern is proposed for Strassen's algorithm to provide optimized cache temporal and spatial locality. The proposed implementation reduced not only the amount of main memory but also the burden of unnecessary memory allocation/deallocation and data transferring for each level of recursion in Strassen's algorithm. Moreover, the proposed algorithm consumed, on average, 4.25 and 3.67 times lower energy than the multiplication functions of the Eigen and OpenBLAS libraries, respectively. To measure the computational performance with the awareness of power consumption, GFLOPS per Watt (GFPW) is calculated, which out- performed on average 3.78 and 3.47 times higher than those of Eigen and OpenBLAS libraries, respectively.

In case of an unplanned emission event from a nuclear power plant, the local population can be protected more efficiently when valid atmospheric dispersion model results are available. Atmospheric dispersion models use local meteorological variables as inputs. When atmospheric dispersion in the future is being predicted, a forecast of the local meteorological variables is needed. The most important variable in atmospheric dispersion modelling is wind, and accurately predicting ground level winds presents a challenge to numerical weather prediction models. We therefore develop hybrid models for forecasting local ground level wind at a single location where the terrain is complex and the average wind is weak and fluctuating. Wind speed and direction are modelled as west-east and south-north wind components. Each model is composed of a numerical weather prediction model and a Gaussian process statistical model that uses numerical weather predictions as some of its inputs and is trained on historical data to predict the output component. The most advanced Gaussian process models studied are of Gaussian process nonlinear autoregressive model with exogenous input (GPNARX) type. In addition to numerical weather predictions, they also use local meteorological variables, including the output variable, as their inputs. Numerical weather prediction results based on large scale information and fundamental knowledge of the system are thus supplemented by local measurements that better reflect the effects of local topography and land use. The models are tested by prediction and simulation. The wind components predicted by more advanced models are more accurate than raw or post-processed numerical weather prediction results. As an example, a model predicting 2D wind vector 1.5 h in advance achieves a NRMSE of 0.214 if it uses all the immediately available information. This is better than both the persistence model with NRMSE of 0.188 and post-processed NWP with NRMSE of 0.164. This demonstrates that hybrid modelling provides the best weather information for short-term and medium-term atmospheric dispersion forecasting. While the method is motivated by nuclear emission sources, it could also be applied to other pollution.
Compassion fatigue in medicine: The result of an inner wear and tear
Authors: Thimmapuram Jayaram
Published: February 2023

Compassion is an inner desire to alleviate the suffering of the other. Almost all of us as health care professionals had this feeling in some corner of our hearts when we chose this profession. It is no doubt a daunting task, but something within us made us feel we can help and make a difference. It is very palpable at the beginning of our careers. As a physician and an academic hospitalist, I observed medical students often having a great rapport with patients and families. Is it their enthusiasm to learn? Is it their ability to spend time with patients? Perhaps it is a combination of the joy of learning coupled with their willing hearts to open up to patients and families. Why does it change later? As we advance in our medical careers, the reality of day-to-day tasks, responsibilities, too many roles to play make a significant impact on us and perhaps slowly exhaust our resources and inner energies. It gradually erodes our interior. This leads to inner wear and tear. Our inner frustrations silently settle within ourselves and unknowingly conceal the very reason why we chose this profession. The reasons could be many, but this is one of the biggest challenges currently faced by health care.

Biomass cook stove is one of the conventional methodsof cooking in rural households and industries. Typical stove designs presume inefficient combustion processes along with harmful emissions. Subsequently a more efficient design of biomass cook stove has been a foremost research interest for scientists during the last decades. The study focused on enhancing thecombustion process altering the key parameters of a biomass cook stove i.e. height of the chimney and the air intake port opening. From the study, it is found that height of the chimney and the air intake port opening is very influential on the performance characteristics of the biomass cook stove. For estimating the comprehensive performance of the improved biomass stove water boiling test (WBT) was carried outfor varied chimney heights (95 cm, 80 cm, 65 cm & 50 cm) &varied air intake port opening (40%, 60%, 80% & 100 %). At chimney height of 80 cm & fully air intake port opening, optimum thermal efficiency has been found to be 33.76%, 33.79%, respectively. The highest concentration of CO was identified around 23 ppm during the 40% opening of the air intake port and it minimized to 9 ppm as the air intake port opened fully. Both the values for CO2/CO and indoor air quality were within acceptable limits.

In the fields of engineering, especially in the heat transfer area, the contribution of the fluid flows through different channels is remarkable. Among the different available shapes in the channel, the sinusoidal wavy channels are considered more efficient in the heat transfer areas such as cooling of electronic devices, boilers, biomedical applications, etc., due to their increased recirculation capability of mixing the flowing fluids - which increases the heat transfer performance, consequently. The optimization of channel design and modelling has been an engineering problem in recent years. In this research, flat, symmetric sinusoidal, and asymmetric sinusoidal channels were designed - using ANSYS 2020 - to investigate the effects of channel shape, amplitude, and aspect ratio of sinusoidal wavy walls on the overall heat transfer performance. Several designs have been considered in the present study at different Reynolds numbers and different aspect ratios, keeping the wall temperature as constant. The results of this study exhibit that at an aspect ratio of 0.4, the asymmetric channel shows the highest heat transfer effect due to increased recirculation tendency.

Due to the rapid minimization of electronic gadgets, a significant amount of heat is generated in the electric parts and it becomes a serious concern. Hence, it is necessary to minimize heat to get better performance of the equipment. A numerical investigation is conducted to observe the effect of convective heat transfer enhancement for rectangular shaped pin fin heatsinks. Different shapes of holes in fins and different heights of bulges are added to create more surface area to reduce the excess heat for better performance. The addition of bulge is the novelty of the present work. Hence, a passive cooling technique and staggered arrangement of pin fin have been proposed for a better flow characteristic and heat transfer performance. To predict the turbulent flow parameters, working fluid is modeled using Navier-Stokes’s equations and RANS-based k-? turbulent model. The research is carried out utilizing CFD software (COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4) based on the FEM for turbulent flow region. The numerical results show that rectangular-shaped elliptical perforated with a bulge height of 4.5 mm pin fin heatsink, ensuring the highest hydro-thermal performance factor of 1.262 to 1.297 which shows the improvement of around 26% to 29% when compared to previous findings.

Published: February 2023

Life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) plays an essential role in the economic sustainability assessment of buildings, and building information modeling (BIM) offers a potentially valuable approach to fulfilling its requirement. However, the state of LCCA based on BIM is unclear despite previously published works. Therefore, this paper aims to address this gap by reviewing 45 relevant peer-reviewed articles through a systematic literature search, selection, and assessment. The results show that three data exchange methods integrate BIM and LCCA through data input, calculation, and output. Precision management, optimization measures, and parameter analysis through BIM significantly improve the value of buildings. Also, a methodological framework is summarized that combines LCC with other indicators based on BIM to consider economic, environmental, and social impacts, which can be monetized to assess life cycle sustainability costs. These findings provide insights for scholars and practitioners.

We present results from the James Webb Space Telescope Director’s Discretionary Time Early Release Science program 1328 targeting the nearby, luminous infrared galaxy, VV 114. We use the MIRI and NIRSpec instruments to obtain integral-field spectroscopy of the heavily obscured eastern nucleus (V114E) and surrounding regions. The spatially resolved, high-resolution spectra reveal the physical conditions in the gas and dust over a projected area of 2–3 kpc that includes the two brightest IR sources, the NE and SW cores. Our observations show for the first time spectroscopic evidence that the SW core hosts an active galactic nucleus as evidenced by its very low 6.2 μm and 3.3 μm polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon equivalent widths (0.12 and 0.017 μm, respectively) and mid- and near-IR colors. Our observations of the NE core show signs of deeply embedded star formation including absorption features due to aliphatic hydrocarbons, large quantities of amorphous silicates, as well as HCN due to cool gas along the line of sight. We detect elevated [Fe ii]/Pfα consistent with extended shocks coincident with enhanced emission from warm H2, far from the IR-bright cores and clumps. We also identify broadening and multiple kinematic components in both H2 and fine structure lines caused by outflows and previously identified tidal features.

We present the results of a James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam investigation into the young massive star cluster (YMC) population in the luminous infrared galaxy VV 114. We identify 374 compact YMC candidates with signal-to-noise ratios ≥ 3, 5, and 5 at F150W, F200W, and F356W, respectively. A direct comparison with our HST cluster catalog reveals that ∼20% of these sources are undetected at optical wavelengths. Based on yggdrasil stellar population models, we identify 17 YMC candidates in our JWST imaging alone with F150W – F200W and F200W – F356W colors suggesting they are all very young, dusty (A

⊙ < 106.1). The discovery of these “hidden” sources, many of which are found in the “overlap” region between the two nuclei, quadruples the number of t < 3 Myr clusters and nearly doubles the number of t < 6 Myr clusters detected in VV 114. Now extending the cluster age distribution (

) to the youngest ages, we find a slope of γ = −1.30 ± 0.39 for 106 < τ(yr) < 107, which is consistent with the previously determined value from 107 < τ(yr) < 108.5, and confirms that VV 114 has a steep age distribution slope for all massive star clusters across the entire range of cluster ages observed. Finally, the consistency between our JWST- and HST-derived age distribution slopes indicates that the balance between cluster formation and destruction has not been significantly altered in VV 114 over the last 0.5 Gyr.
