Deep Learning in Water Resources Management: Τhe Case Study of Kastoria Lake in Greece
Authors: Karamoutsou Lina , Psilovikos Aris
Published: December 2021

The effects of climate change on water resources management have drawn worldwide attention. Water quality predictions that are both reliable and precise are critical for an effective water resources management. Although nonlinear biological and chemical processes occurring in a lake make prediction complex, advanced techniques are needed to develop reliable models and effective management systems. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most recent methods for modeling complex structures. The applications of machine learning (ML), as a part of AI, in hydrology and water resources management have been increasing in recent years. In this paper, the ability of deep neural networks (DNNs) to predict the quality parameter of dissolved oxygen (DO), in Lake Kastoria, Greece, is tested. The available dataset from 11 November 2015, to 15 March 2018, on an hourly basis, from four telemetric stations located in the study area consists of (1) Chl-a (μg/L), (2) pH, (3) temperature—Tw (°C), (4) conductivity (μS/cm), (5) turbidity (NTU), (6) ammonia (NH4, mg/L), (7) nitrate nitrogen (N–NO3, mg/L), and (8) dissolved oxygen (DO) (mg/L). Feed-forward deep neural networks (FF-DNNs) of DO, with different structures, are tested for all stations. All the well-trained DNNs give satisfactory results. The optimal selected FF-DNNs of DO for each station with a high efficiency (NSE > 0.89 for optimal selected structures/station) constitute a good choice for modeling dissolved oxygen. Moreover, they provide information in real time and comprise a powerful decision support system (DSS) for preventing accidental and emergency conditions that may arise from both natural and anthropogenic hazards.

Early warnings decision support systems are recognized as effective soft adaptation tools to prepare for the impacts of imminent flooding and minimize potential injuries and/or loss of life in flood-prone regions. This paper presents a case study of a pilot project that aimed to establish an impacts-based flood monitoring, early warnings, and decision support system for the Vaisigano River which flows through Apia, the capital of Samoa. This river is located in a characteristic short and steep catchment with rapid critical flood peak durations following periods of intense rainfall. The developed system integrates numerical weather prediction rainfall forecasts, real-time rainfall, river level and flow monitoring data, precomputed rainfall-runoff simulations, and flood inundation estimates of exposure levels and threat to human safety at buildings and on roads for different return period events. Information is ingested into a centralized real-time, web-based, flood decision support system portal that enables hydrometeorological officers to monitor, forecast and alert relevant emergency or humanitarian responders of imminent flooding with adequate lead time. This includes nowcasts and forecasts of estimated flood peak time, magnitude and likely impacts of inundation. The occurrence of three distinct extreme rainfall and flood events over the 2020/2021 tropical cyclone season provided a means to operationally test the system. In each case, the system proved adequate in alerting duty officers of imminent flooding in the Vaisigano catchment with up to 24 h warnings and response lead time. Gaps for improvement of system capabilities and performance are discussed, with recommendations for future work suggested.

For agricultural purposes, the drainage and deforestation of Southeast Asian peatland resulted in high greenhouse gases’ (GHGs, e.g., CO2, N2O and CH4) emission. A peatland regenerating initiative, by rewetting and vegetation restoration, reflects evidence of subsequent forest recovery. In this study, we compared GHG emissions from three Malaysian tropical peatland systems under the following different land-use conditions: (i) drained oil palm plantation (OP), (ii) rewetting-restored forest (RF) and (iii) undrained natural forest (NF). Biweekly temporal measurements of CO2, CH4 and N2O fluxes were conducted using a closed-chamber method from July 2017 to December 2018, along with the continuous measurement of environmental variables and a one-time measurement of the soil physicochemical properties. The biweekly emission data were integrated to provide cumulative fluxes using the trapezoidal rule. Our results indicated that the changes in environmental conditions resulting from draining (OP) or rewetting historically drained peatland (RF) affected CH4 and N2O emissions more than CO2 emissions. The cumulative CH4 emission was significantly higher in the forested sites (RF and NF), which was linked to their significantly higher water table (WT) level (p < 0.05). Similarly, the high cumulative CO2 emission trends at the RF and OP sites indicated that the RF rewetting-restored peatland system continued to have high decomposition rates despite having a significantly higher WT than the OP (p < 0.05). The highest cumulative N2O emission at the drained-fertilized OP and rewetting-restored RF sites was linked to the available substrates for high decomposition (low C/N ratio) together with soil organic matter mineralization that provided inorganic nitrogen (N), enabling ideal conditions for microbial mediated N2O emissions. Overall, the measured peat properties did not vary significantly among the different land uses. However, the lower C/N ratio at the OP and the RF sites indicated higher decomposition rates in the drained and historically drained peat than the undrained natural peat (NF), which was associated with high cumulative CO2 and N2O emissions in our study.
Analysis of Water Resources and Water Environmental Carrying Capacity of Animal Husbandry in China—Based on Water Footprint Theory
Authors: Yu Lin , Xiong Xuezhen , Samim Sayed Alim , Hu Zhiquan
Published: December 2021

Water shortage and water pollution have become the key factors restricting the sustainable development of animal husbandry in China. In this study, the water footprint model was used to analyze the water resource carrying capacity and water environment bearing pressure of animal husbandry in 31 provinces of China from 2001 to 2019. The findings indicate that: (1) The development of animal husbandry has exacerbated the regional water deficiency problem. Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and Liaoning have become the most serious water deficit areas of animal husbandry in China. The decreasing water resource carrying capacity indicates that water resources are difficult in supporting the growth of animal husbandry; (2) the change of animal feeding structures has led to the decrease of gray water footprint and the alleviation of the water environment bearing pressure; however, the water environment of animal husbandry in northern China and the northwest is still overburdened, which poses a major challenge to the control of agricultural non-point source pollution; (3) furthermore, according to the spatial and temporal characteristics of the water resource carrying capacity and water environment bearing pressure, the main livestock-producing areas in the north are facing a profound “water-livestock” contradiction and showing an increasing trend. The research results will help decision-makers to adjust the development mode of animal husbandry, optimize resource allocation, and promote the sustainable development of resource-saving and environment-friendly animal husbandry.

Authors: Mello Kaline de , Ribeiro Marina Pannunzio , Valente Roberta Averna
Published: December 2021

A discussão e projetos de desenvolvimento de zonas de amortecimento (ZA) no entorno de áreas protegidas urbanas é considerado um grande desafio. A delimitação da ZA deve levar em consideração critérios técnico-científicos, tais como, de uso e ocupação da terra, critérios hidrográficos, critérios ambientais e sociais, para que dessa forma possa se estabelecer um ambiente urbano ecologicamente sustentáveis e que traga resiliência para a biodiversidade, garantindo equidade no provimento de serviços ecossistêmicos para a toda a população urbana. Sendo assim, este estudo objetivou avaliar a estrutura da paisagem nos entornos das áreas protegidas urbanas, utilizando técnicas de geoprocessamento e Ecologia de Paisagem, visando fornecer subsídios à proposição de uma ZA comum às áreas protegidas urbanas do município de Sorocaba. A distância euclidiana média entre as Unidades de Conservação (UCs) de Sorocaba é de 4.782,24 m, e o Parque Natural Municipal de Corredores da Biodiversidade é o mais distante de outras UCs. A Estação Ecológica Bráulio Guedes da Silva, é a menor UC do município (8,9 ha) é a única que não tem o suporte de um remanescente fora dos limites protegidos. A área mapeada é composta majoritariamente pelo uso antrópico da terra, que corresponde a mais de 78% do uso da terra, sendo a maior parte ocupada por áreas urbanas e campos antrópicos de vegetação pioneira. A cobertura florestal nativa, está distribuída entre 706 remanescentes, sendo que 84,14% não possuem mais que dez (10) hectares. Apesar de pequenos, os remanescentes estão próximos entre si (NEAR < 50m), favorecendo dessa forma a conectividade, conquistada através de trampolins ecológicos. Os campos antrópicos de vegetação pioneira apontados na área de estudo podem servir a projetos de restauração florestal, desempenhando um papel importante na mitigação dos impactos da fragmentação florestal, melhorando a estrutura florestal e a conectividade da paisagem, promovendo a conexão entre as áreas protegidas urbanas e outros fragmentos florestais.

Authors: Sousa Ariana Silva , Lobo Heros Augusto Santos , Cardoso-Leite Eliana
Published: December 2021

O incentivo ao turismo na Floresta Nacional (FLONA) de Carajás tem sido visto como uma forma de incrementar o desenvolvimento econômico na região, assim também como uma ferramenta no auxílio à conservação da natureza. Em áreas naturais protegidas, o objetivo principal do turismo praticado de forma sustentável é melhorar a competitividade e minimizar os impactos na interação com os ambientes naturais. Neste contexto, para avaliar a potencialidade do uso público da FLONA de Carajás, foram utilizados os seguintes aspectos: Recursos Principais e Atrativos; Infraestrutura e Fatores de Suporte; Gerenciamento do Destino; Demanda de Visitação; e Determinantes Qualificativos e Qualidade de Vida dos Residentes. Para o embasamento teórico foram feitas revisões bibliográficas e para a coleta de dados foi realizada visita in loco com observação direta. Por se tratar de unidade de conservação com uso público, estão previstas em seu plano de manejo atividades com potencialidades para o turismo, Educação Ambiental e extrativismo vegetal. Porém, considerando as peculiaridades geológicas da FLONA de Carajás, estão inclusos também em seus objetivos de manejo a pesquisa, a lavra, o beneficiamento, o transporte e a comercialização de recursos minerais. Associado a isso, toda a diversidade de paisagens e belezas cênicas com diversidade de espécies de fauna e flora, como por exemplo a ocorrência da flor de Carajás, espécie endêmica da região. O acesso dos visitantes e demais aspectos de gestão do turismo são geridos por diferentes instâncias públicas, privadas e do terceiro setor. Em relação à infraestrutura local, a mesma pode ser considerada básica para atender a demanda turística, sendo desta forma um fator limitante para o desenvolvimento econômico e social da região. Mesmo diante destes obstáculos, que podem ser superados com investimentos, públicos e privados, a região possui grande potencial turístico, principalmente devido a beleza cênica que compõem os cenários do Mosaico de Carajás, especificamente na Floresta Nacional de Carajás.

O conceito "bioma" nos livros didáticos de Geografia no ensino médio
Authors: Lima Monalysa Silva de , Silva Danielle Rodrigues da , Silva Maria Amanda Menezes
Published: December 2021

Por existir conceitos contraditórios para o termo “bioma” nas literaturas brasileiras, acredita-se que isto se reflita nos livros didáticos (LD’s), então, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar o termo em LD’s de Geografia do ensino médio das escolas no município de Quixadá (estado do Ceará). A análise do termo “bioma” foi feita a partir do pareamento dos conceitos vistos nos LD’s com a literatura nacional e internacional e em como está classificada a vegetação brasileira. Os conceitos encontrados nos LD’s possuem concordância com os termos científicos, porém, ao citar a vegetação brasileira, ocorre uma contradição: o uso da conotação florística. Assim, é possível concluir que os conceitos contraditórios usados na literatura brasileira sobre o termo­­­ aparecem nos livros didáticos, dificultando o processo de ensino e aprendizagem.

Prensa, poesía gauchesca y otros. La disputa por el pueblo en algunas gacetas de Luis Pérez
Authors: Pisano Juan Ignacio
Published: December 2021

La obra de Luis Pérez pone en juego un modo de ficcionalizar a los sectores plebeyos que introduce una novedad y una particularidad en la región del Río de la Plata hacia 1830. A su vez, diferenciándose de las corrientes ilustradas de la época, otorga un lugar diverso a la mujer dentro del entramado de la comunidad política. De este modo, la obra gacetera y gauchesca de Pérez deja una marca en la literatura de la región haciendo de la plebe (femenina y masculina) un sujeto protagonista en el entramado del pueblo soberano ficcional que proponen sus impresos. Esto, que se expresa como una variedad formal y una diversidad de voces, lejos de constituir una falta en cuanto a la realización gauchesca de su obra, resulta un plus que, visto en retrospectiva, opera como marca e irrupción, y un modo de intervenir en el espacio público y sus disputas estéticas y políticas.
Pedro Henríquez Ureña y su recuperación editorial de las obras sorjuaninas
Authors: Larrazabal Cárdenas Hilda
Published: December 2021

Las Obras completas de sor Juana son consideradas un hito para la consolidación de su figura como parte fundante del canon latinoamericano. Desde que las obras de sor Juana dejan de reimprimirse en 1725, diversos intelectuales a lo largo de dos siglos participaron parcialmente en su recuperación. Uno de ellos fue Pedro Henríquez Ureña, que desde 1914 pugna por la edición de las obras sorjuaninas. El presente artículo estudia las aportaciones del dominicano al campo de estudios acerca de la monja a la vez que enfatiza la publicación de Obras completas como parte de la Colección Biblioteca Americana, ideada por el dominicano a partir de la petición de Daniel Cosío Villegas, director de Fondo de Cultura Económica. De esta manera, se analiza la manera en que la revaloración del barroco americano por Henríquez Ureña, así como su labor editorial, afincaron el proyecto de las Obras completas.

Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn fruit derivatives as alternative agents for diabetes mellitus care: A basic insight
Authors: Shadhan Raheem Mohssin , Adam Zainah , Mohd Bohari Siti Pauliena
Published: December 2021

This study discusses the effectiveness of methanolic extract and fractions (butanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane) of H. sabdariffa Linn fruit towards antidiabetic activities (in vitro). In order to test the efficacy, toxicity and insulin secretion capacity of rat pancreatic β-cell lines (BRIN-BD11) were tested with the methanolic extract and fractions. The outcomes showed that both the extract and the fractions demonstrated significantly lower levels of cytotoxic activities. Furthermore, the methanolic extract and fractions displayed varied sensitivity levels towards insulin release after an incubation period of 30 min. The methanolic extract, at a concentration of 300 µg/mL, significantly stimulated secretion of insulin by 2.85-fold (p<0.001). In addition, butanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane fractions revealed a gradual increase in insulin secretion. The stimulated insulin secretion for these fractions had been recorded at 2-fold (p<0.01), 2.67-fold, and 2.31-fold (p<0.001), respectively, at the highest concentrations. The methanolic extract and fractions also appeared to stimulate secretion of insulin with all modulators present, for example, potassium chloride (KCl), insulin secretion inhibitor (verapamil and diazoxide), as well as insulin secretagogue (tolbutamide and isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX)). These results indicate that H. sabdariffa Linn fruit methanolic extract and fractions could indeed be beneficial for future development of antidiabetic drugs.

ABOUT CONICAL CUMULATION IN STORAGE AMPOULES
Authors: Belikova A. F. , Buravova S. N.
Published: December 2021

Conical cumulation in storage ampoules consists of a periodically repeating wave pattern - the formation of an axial high-pressure region as a result of the focusing of oblique waves and its unloading. In this case, the convergence of the oblique wave is accompanied by a loss of stability - protrusions appear at the wave front, the collision of which leads to an increase in pressure. The expansion of the high-pressure region is accompanied by the formation of an axial crack and continues until its pressure becomes lower than the pressure of the incoming oblique waves, after which the flow pattern is repeated.
THE ASPECTS OF ALMG6 ALUMINIUM ALLOY DEFORMATION UNDER EXPLOSIVE WELDING
Authors: Malakhov A. Yu. , Niyozbekov N. N. , Saikov I. V. , Denisov I. V.
Published: December 2021

The paper presents the results of a study of the features of the deformation of the main plate made of AlMg6 in the process of explosion welding (with corrosion-resistant steel 08Cr18Ni10Ti). It was found that the end and edge sections of the main plate undergo severe deformation, as evidenced by the constructed maps of the distribution of residual deformations over the plate area. With an increase in the detonation velocity, an intensification of the deformation process occurs, which leads to the appearance of cracks and local spalling of plate fragments. In addition, the results of measurements of the elongation of the main plate showed that a noticeable longitudinal deformation of the plate begins approximately at a distance equal to 2/3 of the total length of the plate. The measured value of the beginning of elongation (240 ± 10 mm) with an accuracy of 95% converges with the calculated value (229 mm).

Authors: Wahyu Budi Mursanto
Published: December 2021

Penelitian ini memanfaatkan sensor thermistor yang banyak dijual di pasaran sebagai alat ukur temperatur (termometer). Thermistor merupakan resistor yang sangat peka terhadap temperatur. Thermistor yang digunakan mempunyai koefisien tahanan yang negatif atau biasa disebut dengan NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient). Namun, kenyataannya hubungan perubahan tahanan terhadap temperatur ini adalah non-linier, sehingga untuk keperluan pengukuran temperatur yang akurat diperlukan teknik  linierisasi. Untuk linierisasi ini diperlukan data spesifikasi thermistor yang digunakan, namun sayangnya thermistor yang banyak dijual di pasaran tersebut tidak dilengkapi dengan data yang cukup. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan percobaan untuk mendapatkan kembali spesifikasi teknis dari thermistor yang digmakan, untuk kemudian dirancang linierisasinya dengan metoda rangkaian seri, serta aplikasi pengkondisian sinyal dalam rangkaian elektronik sehingga bisa diperoleh besaran seperti yang diinginkan. Pada aplikasi perancangan range temperature 20°C sampai dengan 50°C, diperoleh nilai b sebesar 3500 °K dengan R seri sebesar 479 Ohm, dengan kesalahan maksimum sebesar 1,25% atau kesalahan sebesar 0,5°C.

The cement industry is a chemical industry that requires large amounts of energy and releases CO2 emissions, one of which is produced from limestone calcination. Electricity consumption index for 2017 at PT Holcim Indonesia Tbk. Cilacap Plant averaged 92.20 kWh / ton cement and 3,352MJ / ton clinker in thermal form. This shows that the use of thermal energy is very dominant in the production process. The opportunity to reduce the index of electricity consumption is a very appropriate step in order to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and production costs, thereby increasing its competitiveness. Installation of WHRPG system in the preheater (PH) process output unit and the water quenching cooler (AQC) output to utilize exhaust heat that can produce pressurized steam and when combined with the steam turbine starter drive and electric generator coupled, the system is able to generate electricity to supply the needs electrical energy industry. From the data of potential exhaust gases in PH and AQC and the design determination of the choice of operating conditions of the selected three-level steam turbine pressure, the optimization results are obtained by applying a graded nonlinear GRG model, the thermal efficiency of the WHRPG water system is optimal at 24.38% with work output the optimum thermal value is 6,420.29 kW and the estimated gross electric power yield is 6.089,51kW. The optimal conditions achieved are indicated by the pinch point value on the AQC boiler that occurs in the economizer at 10K while the PH boiler occurs at the superheater of 10K according to the specified pinch minimum constraints. If the estimated power of the balance of plant and auxiliaries in the WHRPG system is 12% and the cement production capacity is 7,800 tons / day assuming a WHRPG capacity factor of 73%, then the magnitude of the reduction in electrical energy intensity is at least 12.04 kWh / ton cement.

The research is aimed at developing theoretical, methodological, and practical provisions for the formation of strategic priorities for sustainable development of territories based on the reproduction of human capital. The theoretical basis was the available scientific works, certain provisions of normative legal acts, international framework documents, in particular from United Nations: Agenda 21 and the report Our Common Future, as well as local studies.
The generalization of various scientific points of view regarding the category of human capital allowed us to establish that it is an integral part of its carrier, and therefore, it is proposed to understand as such a set of personal qualities of a person formed, developed, accumulated and preserved as a result of investments in productive abilities, personal qualities and motivational behavior of an individual, as well as the ability to develop and accumulate the necessary qualities that are in his property, which he uses in economic activities and which provides him with a corresponding income.
The article substantiates the value of the category human capital for sustainable development. The territorial features of the reproduction of human capital are determined, based on which it is proposed to consider the region as space. It is proved that the reproduction of human capital occurs in the relationship and interdependence with the general periods of the life cycle of the generation, which served to distinguish the four phases of the reproduction of human capital. The architectonics of determining the strategic priorities of sustainable development of territories based on the reproduction of human capital, which is aimed at solving theoretical, methodological, and applied problems, is proposed.

Было проведено исследование функционального состояние щитовидной железы у женщин с дисфункциональными меточными кровотечениями (50 случаев, взятых безразборно их общего потока больных).
На основании этих наблюдений можно сделать практический вывод, когда следует начинать исследование функционального состояния щитовидной железы у женщин с кровотечением. По нашему мнению, женщины с дисфункциональным маточным кровотечением, у которых проведенное лечение привело к быстрому стойкому терапевтическому эффекту, не нуждаются в таком исследовании. В более длительно неподдающихся лечению случаях, когда и клиническое исследование не указывает на нарушение тиреоидного характера, это исследование является абсолютно необходимым.

FOREIGN POLICY ATTITUDES OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY IN THE POSTBIPOLAR WORLD
Authors: Petrosyan D. V.,
Published: December 2021

The Contemporary Federal Republic of Germany is the leader of the European Union, on which the development of the European Union and European-transatlantic relations largely depends. The Federal Republic of Germany determines the main content and direction of the EU policy towards the Russian Federation. Russian-German relations have a significant impact on the solution of many world problems. The unification of two states at the end of the 20th century – the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic — became one of the greatest and most significant events in the history of Germany and world politics. The creation of a unified German state contributed to the change of both the economic and political situation of Germany in Europe and in international relations. They are one of the determining factors of global politics and directly related to the European world order, therefore, the study of the philosophy and nature of German foreign policy in the postbipolar world is a topic and important task for specialists. The article considers the internal and external conditions and factors affecting the foreign policy of Germany in the postbipolar world.

Published: December 2021

Background: Smoking as a practice has been in existence since 5000 B.C. Smoking in public places was banned in India from 2nd October 2008. According to reports by WHO Tobacco kills more than 7 million people each year. Studies show that few people understand the specific health risks of tobacco use. The present study was done to analyze the impact of the Anti-smoking Campaign in the Institutes’ Campus and also to make people aware of the harmful effects of smoking and motivate them to quit this habit.Methodology: The campaign constituted of various interventions as screening & collection, monitoring through CCTV Surveillance, imposing penalty as per the Act, Destruction of collected material, Behavioral change communication through Anti-smoking March, Public Lectures, Display of Pamphlets/Signages at various places in the institute & No smoking Pledge and involvement of top management.Results: Total about 2613 Kgs of Tobacco and Tobacco products has been collected and destroyed from March 2014 till April 2020. On an average 40 Kilograms of Tobacco material is collected and destroyed per month. Till April 2020, 108 offenders who were caught smoking in the institute were penalized. ‘No smoking Pledge’ was taken by all the participants. Conclusion: The success achieved by the anti-smoking campaign in the Institute suggests that there is a dire need and challenge before us to launch such type of campaigns in all the institutes worldwide to curb this menace from our society.
Aortic Atherosclerosis and Risk Factors: A Clinico- Demographic Autopsy-Based Study

Published: December 2021

Backdrop: Aortic atherosclerosis continues to be a complex process, with the genetic factors, personallifestyles, alterations in local hemodynamics, vascular injury, age related changes, endothelialinflammation and autoimmune diseases, all contributing to its pathogenesis. The scenario ofatherosclerosis in India is appalling with highest loss in potentially productive years of life. As studyof atherosclerosis in living population is difficult, invasive and expensive especially in the developingcountries, autopsy studies have been proved to be a good method for assessing atherosclerosis. So, thepresent study was planned to evaluate the prevalence of atherosclerosis, with the clinic-demographicprofiles of the victims of aortic atherosclerosis and analysing the risk factors associated with it.Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study which was conducted to detectaortic atherosclerosis among all the deceased who got referred to R.G. Kar Medical College PoliceMortuary for autopsy between 1st April to 30th September, 2014.Resusts: Majority of the victims belonged to 4th to 8th decades, with male preponderance in all the agegroups. Though the residence has got no significant implication on atherosclerosis, age turned out tobe the single most culprit in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, with hypertwnsion, hyperlipidemia,hyperglycemia and smoking playing their significant parts.Conclusion: The authors feel, in most cases, atherosclerosis can be prevented as most risk factorsassociated with this illness are directly connected with the lifestyle of an individual. In this regard,educational campaign that focuses on informing the members of the society about the dangers ofatherosclerosis, its causes, and the ways of its prevention is likely to reduce the occurrence of thisdisease and thus improve the overall health level of the nation.

Using Science Standards to guide the development of high school linguistics
Authors: Gamble Morse Stephanie Joy
Published: December 2021

As the linguistics community is pushing for more introductory classes to be taught at the high school level, it is useful to create a course framework. This framework can help provide structure for a potential Advanced Placement (AP) test and course as well as help interested teachers create successful proposals to add linguistics to their school’s course offerings. Rather than reinventing the wheel, I suggest that the existing Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are an ideal starting point. Although not a science in the traditional secondary school sense, there is considerable overlap in methodology. Using the language of science can help those unfamiliar with linguistics see that it is the systematic study of language rather than just language learning, as well as help students transfer some of the skills and knowledge of practices that they already know from previous classes. This paper serves as an introduction to NGSS and the connections between the existing science standards and methodologies with the goal of demonstrating their usefulness for creating standards for linguistics.
A Systematic Search for Dual AGNs in Merging Galaxies (Astro-daring): III: Results from the SDSS Spectroscopic Surveys

Published: December 2021

As the third installment in a series systematically searching dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) among merging galaxies, we present the results of 20 dual AGNs found by using the SDSS fiber spectra. To reduce the flux contamination from both the fiber aperture and seeing effects, the angular separation of two cores in our merging galaxy pairs sample is restricted at least larger than 3″. By careful analysis of the emission lines, 20 dual AGNs are identified from 61 merging galaxies with their two cores both observed by the SDSS spectroscopic surveys. 15 of them are identified for the first time. The identification efficiency is about 32.79% (20/61), comparable to our former results (16 dual AGNs identified from 41 merging galaxies) based on the long-slit spectroscopy. Interestingly, two of the 20 dual AGNs show two prominent cores in radio images and their radio powers show they as the radio-excess AGNs. So far, 31 dual AGNs are found by our project and this is the current largest dual AGN sample, ever constructed with a consistent approach. This sample, together with more candidates from ongoing observations, is of vital importance to study the AGN physics and the coevolution between the supermassive black holes and their host galaxies.
