Establishing an organizational culture is the main task of effective strategic leadership. This study aims to reveal how organizational behavior influences the process of organizational change. Implementation of Change is a process that stems from differences in mindset. This research is library research. The primary data source is the theory of organizational behavior. Secondary data sources are change theory, strategic management, and productivity. Research result shows that thoughts of people who are in the organization build the mind of the organization to build a good condition that will produce a good performance. Component of increasing productivity in the context of educational output is (1) work attitude; (2) skill competence; (3) environment relationship; (4) productivity management; (5) labor efficiency and (6) entrepreneurship.
AUTOMATION OF MEDIA ACCESS CROSS CONNECT
Authors: TRIVEDI GIRIDHAR
Published: December 2020

Sanity testing is the process of testing the basic functionality of any software product. Sanity testing would take considerable amount of time by test engineer to test the product. If sanity testing itself fails, then the effort put on other testing techniques would go waste, as the build is declared un-usable if Sanity fails. Hence it is a good idea to automate sanity testing process so that, same sanity suite can be run as soon as a new build arrives. This automation tool is developed for a specific product, Media Access Cross Connect. The tool is being divided into two parts. First part, records all test cases in the background, whenever a test engineer performs sanity testing and saves it in XML file format. Second part, replays same configurations using a script and carries out verification and validation for the response data to decide success or failure of the test cases. It is record once run many times activity.

The market management in Nigeria has been an area of concern to the public and agency of the government concerned, especially with the maintenance system. The government spent a lot of money developing those market stalls but little or nothing is done maintaining them. This usually leads to decay given this; the research examines the role played by the Maiduguri Modern Market Company Limited on the management of these stalls and facilities. The research revealed a lack of strategic approach to management, limited recognition of the value of these assets by property users and operational decision-makers have eroded the significance of the market. It also reveals that the statutorily recognized property managers are not involved in implementing necessary quality management approaches and lack of competence on the part of the government agency. Therefore, if the market management must survive for the market and vice versa, then the personnel of the management company should be re-examined. Qualified, innovative and creative professionals from real estate, management sciences, architecture, and built environment should be employed to effectively manage the market. Finally, the best guess for the effective strategic management of this market is that the private sector is considered. This is more professional than public management.

Until recent time, African deities, positioned as viable medium of creating sanity and tranquility in the African front have been ironically neglected due to incursion of Christianization, civilization, modernization, and advanced technology. The efficacy of the African deity which is paramount insomuch that it preserves the culture, tradition, norms, values, artifacts, morals, and way of lives of the people, thus militating against evil forces whose agenda is targeted at the people, by increasing the level of death, sickness, ailment, farming, barrenness, strive, poverty, and every other forms of wickedness as portrayed in Julie Okoh’s We Are Rivers, is today, neglected and most often abolished. This has unequivocally created fear and pain of the people and underdevelopment to the nation. It has therewith created impetus for creative portraiture in dramatic and argumentative representations by dramatist and critics over the years, yet, the issue is still persisting. The study therefore aims at repositioning African Deity as viable medium of sanity and a mechanism of enhancing peace and development in the Nigerian space. Thus, with content analytical methodology, this study investigates how Julie Okoh attempts to establish the cause and effect of deity negligence and service on the Nigerian space using the instrument of drama. The effect of it will create positive change amongst Nigerians, thus, create change in their society. The study therefore recommends that maximum attention be made towards promoting African deity to the frontier of politicians as that would define the hallmark of peace and development.
PRINCIPALS’ MANAGERIAL SKILLS ANDEFFICIENT MANAGEMENTOF EDUCATIONAL RECORD KEEPING IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS, EDO STATE
Authors:   Department of Educational Management, Faculty of Art & Education Lead City University, Ibadan, Senimetu Ileuma
Published: December 2020

The aim of the study was to investigate whether there would be a positive relationship between principals’ managerial skills and efficient educational records keeping. Descriptive survey research design was employed in the study. Simple random sampling technique was used to select a total of One hundred and two principals from public secondary schools in Edo State. One research question was raised for the study. Four research hypotheses were formulates to guide the study. A researcher-designed instrument titled” Principal managerial skills and educational record keeping Questionnaire (PMSERKQ) was used for the study. The face validity of the instrument was ascertained and a reliability Coefficient of 0.71 of the instrument was obtained using the test-retest method. The means of standard deviation was used to analysis the research question. Data were analyzed using Pearson Product moment correlation and multiple regressions. Results indicated a significant relationship between the administrative leadership styles of the principals and the management of record keeping in the public secondary schools (r = .618, p< 0.05); it was revealed a significant relationship between the educational qualifications of the principals and the management of records keeping in the public secondary schools(r = .526,p< 0.05): also it was revealed that supervisory styles of the principal correlates with management of record keeping (r=.463, p< 0.05); both variables jointly explain 38% of the variance observed in the management of records keeping in public secondary schools in Edo state and it was statistically significant at F (df =2, 99) = 6.423.The result revealed that secondary school principals have different ways of managing school records in other to meet with the management of school records. Based on the findings, it was recommended that secondary school principals should be encouraged to attend conferences, workshops in-service training and retraining and seminars in other to polished and enhance their administrative skills. School principals should properly keep and manage educational records for utilization and future retrieval thereby enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of the school system. Supervisory styles by the school principals would promote the effectiveness and efficiency of the educational records in the school system.

Published: December 2020

As novas tecnologias digitais tornaram-se ferramentas úteis para o ensino e aprendizagem de Língua Estrangeira (LE). Entretanto, o uso pedagogicamente informado dessas tecnologias ainda não é parte da formação dos professores de LE. Nesse contexto, a UNIOESTE – Foz do Iguaçu ofereceu um curso de 40 h/a para professores da rede pública estadual de ensino. De maneira geral, foram tratados os temas Tecnologia e Sociedade, Tecnologia e Educação, Tecnologia e Ensino de LE e Recursos Educacionais Abertos (REA). Especificamente, foram abordados os REA e sua relação com o ensino da gramática e do vocabulário de língua inglesa, da compreensão e produção oral e escrita, e a relação entre língua e cultura, tendo em vista os direcionamentos da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC, 2017). O retorno dado pelos professores se revelou produtivo ao aproximá-los não somente do uso ético de diferentes tecnologias digitais, com ênfase nos REA, como também das habilidades essenciais de aprendizagem presentes na BNCC.

La crisis del estilo histórico de razonamiento económico:Joseph A. Schumpeter, Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, y Paul A. Samuelson
Authors: Fragio Gistau Alberto
Published: December 2020

En este artículo abordaré el declive del estilo histórico de razonamiento económico en relación con las obras de Joseph A. Schumpeter, Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen y Paul A. Samuelson. Argumentaré dos tesis básicas. La primera afirma que la teoría schumpeteriana de los ciclos de negocios es una respuesta en pespectiva histórica a la comprensión de las crisis económicas y, en consecuencia, cabe ser concebida como una instancia del estilo histórico de razonamiento económico. La segunda sostiene que el declive de este estilo histórico-económico estuvo asociado a la derrota intelectual de Schumpeter frente al keynesianismo. En la medida en que la teoría schumpeteriana de los ciclos de negocios y del empresario innovador requerían de la historia económica como el lugar último de fundamentación, su descrédito llevó aparejada la crisis del estilo histórico de razonamiento económico. Esta quiebra puso de relieve el conflicto de racionalidades económicas durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX y restó legitimidad epistemológica a la historia de la economía en beneficio de los análisis formales de tipo sincrónico.
La Historia Magistra Vitae y el Practical Past
Authors: Chinchilla Perla
Published: December 2020

En su libro The Practical Past White hace un diagnóstico de las aporías a las que desde su perspectiva ha llegado la historia como historiografía científica, y propone, a partir de la categoría de Practical Past cómo explicar este decurso, cómo recuperar su función social de guía de la acción. A continuación intentaré sintetizar el por qué la historiografía, desde su perspectiva, se fue despegando de ese Practical Past a lo largo de los siglos XIX y XX, hasta quedar en la actualidad desvinculada del mismo, ante la imposibilidad de convertirlo, tanto en “objeto de estudio”, por un lado, como, al separarse del presente, abandonando su ancestral papel de guía moral –la Historia Magistra Vitae -, por otro.
Volver a Hayden White: algunas reflexiones
Authors: Zermeño Guillermo
Published: December 2020

Este ensayo trata básicamente de la transformación teórica de la historiografía. Versa sobre los cambios ocurridos a partir de 1960 en la autocomprensión de la historia académica sobre sí misma. Al aparecer su libro Metahistory en 1973, puede decirse que el medio de la historiografía no estaba preparado para recibirlo. Su discusión se traspasó sobre todo al campo de la teoría y crítica literaria. Solo a partir de su traducción a otros idiomas, hacia 1990 su obra comenzó discutirse y a ser tomada en serio por los historiadores. En particular su discusión se concentró en saber si White aceptaba o no que el discurso de los historiadores, además de su forma literaria, era capaz de referir el pasado, tal como se había postulado desde los orígenes de la historia científico-académica en el siglo XIX.

Más bien, en este escrito se intenta sostener que el interés mayor de White en su crítica al establishment historiográfico se dirige a poner de manifiesto la unidad que subyace a las oposiciones clásicas sobre las que se constituyó la identidad de la historiografía: entre historia y literatura, historia y filosofía, historia y ciencia, ficción y realidad, teoría y empiria, etcétera.  En particular se intenta observar dos puntos en los que White argumenta a favor de dicha intersección: entre filosofía e historia, por un lado, y entre historia y literatura, por el otro. Una de las consecuencias de este “des-ocultamiento” consiste en mostrar que la historiografía moderna (un discurso que “simula” unir el pasado, lo ausente, con lo actual, lo presente) es una actividad fundamentalmente metahistórica. Por eso en nos detendremos en examinar el contenido de la forma conceptual “metahistoria” para develar lo que el historiador produce cuando escribe historia. Siendo así, la cuestión consistirá en centrar la atención en algunos “detalles” para observar su relevancia en la comprensión de la temporalidad asistida por dos estrategias discursivas: la literaria y la historiográfica.

De manera que para “entender” a White hace falta situar sus reflexiones, no en uno de los polos enemistados, sino en un lugar intermedio (entre los extremos); como un preámbulo para el diseño de un espacio transdisciplinario (ni solo historiográfico ni solo literario, ni solo histórico ni solo filosófico), y así poder imaginar una plausible reconceptualización de la historiografía tras la crisis del historicismo decimonónico. Se habla entonces de “regresar” a White para calibrar una de las posibilidades pensables para el futuro de la historiografía.
Investigation of the Effect of Fatigue Level on Plantar Pressure Distribution in Heavy Metalworkers
Authors: ARAS BAYRAM Gülay , KESİKBAŞ Gözde
Published: December 2020

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between static plantar pressure analysis and fatigue conditions in heavy metal factory workers' routine working environments. 89 heavy metal factory workers with a mean age of 41.69 ± 9.82 were included in the study. The Fatigue level of the participants was evaluated with the “Fatigue Severity Scale. Forefoot, hindfoot and total pressure distributions of right and left feet were analyzed with the static pedobarographic devices. The relationship between the variables was evaluated by Spearman correlation analysis. No significant correlation was found between fatigue level of workers and forefoot, hindfoot and total static plantar pressure distributions of right and left foot (p>0,05). There was no significant relationship between the fatigue level of heavy metal workers and static plantar pressure distributions. In future studies, it is recommended that workers plantar pressure analyzes be evaluated dynamically during working hours.
Acesso especial à infraestrutura rodoviária e práticas administrativas inconstitucionais
Authors: Tavares André Ramos
Published: December 2020

Não é nova a constatação de que o Brasil sofre com gargalos de infraestrutura que oneram sua produção e impõem obstáculos físicos à complexa missão constitucional de desenvolvimento socioeconômico. Todavia os entraves não são apenas de ordem material, decorrentes da insuficiência de obras e serviços públicos. O desenho de certas políticas normativas em nosso país parece incapaz de se conectar com as diretrizes da nossa Constituição Econômica. Esse quadro  de desconexão e desrespeito às diretrizes constitucionais no âmbito da infraestrutura apresenta-se de maneira singular na cobrança de valores adicionais pelo uso de rodovias para fins de transporte de cargas. Essas excêntricas cobranças em rodovias concedidas, no contexto de uma economia periférica e desestruturada, caracterizam prática administrativa (em benefício de concessionárias) inconstitucional.

A exorbitância nos contratos administrativos
Authors: Pestana Marcio
Published: December 2020

A característica marcante dos contratos administrativos disciplinados pela Lei 8.666/1993 é a presença das chamadas cláusulas exorbitantes, as quais resultam de prerrogativas diferenciadas conferidas à Administração Pública, tomando assento nas relações contratuais que estabelece com terceiros, quer precedidas da realização de processo administrativo licitatório, quer resultantes de contratações diretas. Nas presentes considerações, examina-se, a traço ligeiro, o direito francês e o norte-americano, para ao depois debruçar-se sobre o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, deixando evidente a sua aplicabilidade concreta nos domínios da aludida norma geral.
Contratação de advogados por Pessoas Jurídicas de Direito Público
Authors: Martins Ricardo Marcondes
Published: December 2020

A contratação de advogados por pessoas jurídicas de direito público, apesar de ardorosamente defendida pelo Conselho Federal da OAB, é, regra geral, ilícita. A atividade jurídica de entidades públicas deve ser exercida por quem seja titular de cargo público efetivo, dotado de estabilidade e imunizado da influência política e econômica. Excepcionalmente, o sistema normativo aceita a contratação. Quando for exigida a atuação de alguém notoriamente especializado e a notória especialização for fundamental para a finalidade pretendida, admite-se a contratação direta de advogado privado. Quando a atuação exigir conhecimento alheio ao concurso para o cargo de procurador ou atuação em local alheio ao da lotação, bem como quando a questão disser respeito a interesse direto dos advogados públicos, é possível a contratação de advogados privados por licitação.

Tensões dos agentes judiciais no controle da corrupção
Authors: Pereira Júnior Jessé Torres
Published: December 2020

Este artigo analisa o nível de preparo da instituição judiciária para processar e julgar atos de corrupção e improbidade segundo princípios e normas constitucionais e legais. Como primeiro aspecto da análise, aponta a escassez de recursos organizacionais, materiais e financeiros. Explicita que o Estado, suas entidades vinculadas e as concessionárias ou permissionárias de serviços públicos são os principais réus em volume de demandas levadas à justiça e, consequentemente, pouco interessa ao Executivo prover o Judiciário de recursos para a modernização administrativa. Como segundo aspecto da análise, tece considerações sobre o preparo dos recursos humanos do Judiciário. Evidencia que, quanto maior o despreparo emocional e ético do juiz, maior a probabilidade de confundir a instrumentalidade de seus poderes com onipotência e ficar vulnerável ao assédio corruptor.
A inconstitucionalidade da responsabilidade objetiva na Lei 12.846/2013
Authors: Harger Marcelo
Published: December 2020

A Lei 12.846/2013 disciplina a responsabilização de empresas pela prática atos de corrupção. O art. 2º cria a responsabilidade objetiva dessas empresas. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar que essa previsão é inconstitucional. A Lei 12.846/2013 prevê a punição de empresas objetivamente. Há quem elogie essa previsão legal afirmando que “a teoria da responsabilidade subjetiva não mais se presta para coibir as multifárias maneiras pelas quais os atos ilícitos se apresentam na complexa realidade hodierna”. Partem da afirmação de que a responsabilidade por culpa destina-se exclusivamente à proteção das pessoas físicas e não das pessoas jurídicas. Na verdade, a responsabilidade objetiva das pessoas jurídicas é uma das inúmeras incongruências da lei. Pune-se o corruptor com responsabilidade objetiva, mas o corrupto apenas será responsabilizado pela responsabilidade subjetiva. A inovação, portanto, não é boa e suscita indagações. Como se constata a existência de fraude ou vantagem indevida? Por exemplo, basta a desclassificação ilícita de concorrentes para que a pessoa jurídica vencedora da licitação seja responsabilizada objetivamente por corrupção? Imagine-se que a desclassificação tenha ocorrido por falta de conhecimento da legislação por parte da comissão de licitação. Seria a pessoa jurídica vencedora responsável nesse caso? Imagine-se, agora, a hipótese de a comissão de licitação conhecer todos os licitantes, e também conhecer a qualidade do serviço de cada um deles. Imagine-se, ainda, que imbuídos do desejo de contratar o melhor prestador de serviços desclassifiquem ilicitamente alguns concorrentes, sem que a pessoa jurídica beneficiada tenha qualquer ciência desse fato. Poderia a pessoa jurídica ser responsabilizada? Ora, ao se admitir a responsabilidade objetiva, bastaria comprovar que a empresa sagrou-se vencedora em virtude da vantagem indevida para ser responsabilizada. Trata-se de um evidente despropósito.

Temas polêmicos da desapropriação municipal
Authors: Martins Ricardo Marcondes
Published: December 2020

O estudo tem por objeto os temas polêmicos da desapropriação municipal, mais precisamente, a desapropriação-sanção por descumprimento da função social da propriedade urbana e a possibilidade de desapropriação municipal de bens estaduais ou federais. Para enfrentá-los, examinam-se, à luz da Constituição Federal, o direito fundamental de propriedade e o dever de atendimento da função social. O Município tem o dever de fixar no Plano Diretor o coeficiente de aproveitamento mínimo, para, a partir dele, definir quando se dá o cumprimento da função social da propriedade urbana. Desrespeitado esse coeficiente mínimo, deve ordenar o parcelamento ou a edificação, elevar a alíquota do IPTU e, se subsistir o descumprimento, desapropriar o bem com pagamento em títulos da dívida pública resgatáveis em até dez anos. Após examinar o regime jurídico dessa desapropriação, defende-se a inconstitucionalidade do art. 2º, § 2º, do Decreto-lei 3.365/41 e, pois, a possiblidade de desapropriação municipal de bens estaduais e federais. Examina-se, então, o regime jurídico dessa desapropriação.
Conceito de parceria público-privada à luz da Constituição
Authors: Martins Ricardo Marcondes
Published: December 2020

A palavra “concessão”, empregada no artigo 175 da CF/88, possui um significado que foi constitucionalizado com o uso do termo. A parceria público-privada, ao pressupor um novo conceito, viola o dispositivo constitucional: trata-se de uma contrafação de contrato administrativo. O regime jurídico atribuído à parceria é, contudo, incompatível com os contratos administrativos, pois atenta contra os princípios constitucionais da licitação, da direção superior da Administração pelo Chefe do Executivo e do controle da despesa pública pelo Parlamento.

Palavras-chave: 

Concessão de serviço público – Parceria público-privada – Contrafação – Concessão administrativa – Concessão patrocinada – Natureza jurídica

Compreendemos que a formação continuada de professores, seja de educação básica ou de nível superior, é um exercício de reflexão crítica sobre a prática docente. Esta prática, por sua vez, especialmente quando observada sob o olhar da complexidade – “complexus: o que é tecido junto” – (MORIN, 2011, p.13), mostra-se também como um campo de largas possibilidades para a pesquisa científica, para adensamentos teóricos acerca do que já se sabe assim como para a abertura de novos focos de reflexões, pois dela emergem questões que são importantes para o entendimento de muitos pressupostos e consequências do ato de educar.

Barriers to reusing and recycling office fit-out: an exploratory analysis of demolition processes and product features
Authors: Ahmadian Fard Fini Alireza , Forsythe Perry
Published: December 2020

Within the highly waste-generative context of Australia, waste from demolition of office fit-out significantly contributes to unsustainable landfilling. The extant literature is, however, slim on scrutiny of the situation. Therefore, this study aims to uncover office fit-out demolition processes and product features that drive high ratio of landfilling fit-out elements. The research used ten case projects and fourteen interviews to document visible and latent parameters of office fit-out waste. Waste-stream mapping and decision-tree techniques, in conjunction with basic descriptive statistics, were used to model and visualize the extent and drivers of unsustainable fit-out demolition. Further, an exemplar product features analysis was conducted to validate the identified drivers. The findings show that 78% of fit-out waste from the studied cases is landfilled. This high rate is attributed to both latent and visible factors. The main latent factor is high lease price of premium or high-quality offices which favours expeditious demolition with low consideration for reuse and recycling. Key technically visible barriers are volumetric furniture, heterogeneous fit-out assemblies, and insufficient critical mass. To move away from landfilling, production of office fit-out should be transformed for sustainable material adequacy, product re-configurability and de-constructability, and easy handling in the use phase.
Further insights by project managers into the problems in project management
Authors: Livesey Peter Vincent
Published: December 2020

A Delphi study using twenty-three project practitioners over six rounds is aimed to identify significant problems in project management, arising from the nature of projects other than those readily identifiable in a literature review. The study goes on to identify project managers’ behaviours which are recognised as having successful impacts on the delivery of projects. A Relative Importance Index for the problems and behaviours resulting from the issues identified in the study is calculated. This study continues by reporting the views of practitioners involved in the management of large projects on the everyday problems they experience in managing projects, problems that are not adequately addressed in current project management texts concerning the nature of projects. Five additional problems, not generally discussed in the literature, were identified together with seven interpersonal skills and behaviours that are major contributors to increasing the likelihood of a successful project delivery.
Design and field campaign validation of a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle and optical particle counter

Published: December 2020

Abstract. Small unmanned aircraft (SUA) have the potential to be used as platforms for the measurement of atmospheric particulates. The use of an SUA platform for these measurements provides benefits such as high manoeuvrability, reusability, and low cost when compared with traditional techniques. However, the complex aerodynamics of an SUA – particularly for multi-rotor airframes – pose difficulties for accurate and representative sampling of particulates. The use of a miniaturised, lightweight optical particle instrument also presents reliability problems since most optical components in a lightweight system (for example laser diodes, plastic optics, and photodiodes) are less stable than their larger, heavier, and more expensive equivalents (temperature-regulated lasers, glass optics, and photomultiplier tubes). The work presented here relies on computational fluid dynamics with Lagrangian particle tracking (CFD–LPT) simulations to influence the design of a bespoke meteorological sampling system: the UH-AeroSAM. This consists of a custom-built airframe, designed to reduce sampling artefacts due to the propellers, and a purpose-built open-path optical particle counter (OPC) – the Ruggedised Cloud and Aerosol Sounding System (RCASS). OPC size distribution measurements from the UH-AeroSAM are compared with the cloud, aerosol, and precipitation spectrometer (CAPS) for measurements of stratus clouds during the Pallas Cloud Experiment (PaCE) in 2019. Good agreement is demonstrated between the two instruments. The integrated dN∕dlog (Dp) is shown to have a coefficient of determination of 0.8 and a regression slope of 0.9 when plotted 1:1.
Water transport among the world ocean basins within the water cycle
Authors: García-García David , Vigo Isabel , Trottini Mario
Published: December 2020

Abstract. The global water cycle involves water-mass transport on land, in the atmosphere, in the ocean, and among them. Quantification of such transport, especially its time evolution, is essential to identify the footprints of climate change, and it also helps to constrain and improve climatic models. In the ocean, net water-mass transport among the ocean basins is a key process, but it is currently a poorly estimated parameter. We propose a new methodology that incorporates the time-variable gravity observations from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite (2003–2016) to estimate the change in water content; this new approach also overcomes some fundamental limitations of existing methods. We show that the Pacific and Arctic oceans receive an average of 1916 (95 % confidence interval of [1812, 2021]) Gt per month (∼0.72±0.02 Sv) of excess freshwater from the atmosphere and the continents that is discharged into the Atlantic and Indian oceans, where net evaporation minus precipitation
returns the water to complete the cycle. This is in contrast to previous
GRACE-based studies, where the notion of a see-saw mass exchange between the
Pacific and the Atlantic and Indian oceans has been reported. Seasonal climatology
as well as the interannual variability of water-mass transport are also
reported.

Abstract. Tropospheric ozone (O3) is the third most important
anthropogenic greenhouse gas. O3 is detrimental to plant productivity,
and it has a significant impact on crop yield. Currently, the Joint UK Land
Environment Simulator (JULES) land surface model includes a representation
of global crops (JULES-crop) but does not have crop-specific O3 damage
parameters and applies default C3 grass O3 parameters for soybean that
underestimate O3 damage. Physiological parameters for O3 damage
in soybean in JULES-crop were calibrated against leaf gas-exchange
measurements from the Soybean Free Air Concentration Enrichment (SoyFACE)
with O3 experiment in Illinois, USA. Other plant parameters were
calibrated using an extensive array of soybean observations such as crop
height and leaf carbon and meteorological data from FLUXNET sites near
Mead, Nebraska, USA. The yield, aboveground carbon, and leaf area index (LAI)
of soybean from the SoyFACE experiment were used to evaluate the newly
calibrated parameters. The result shows good performance for yield, with the
modelled yield being within the spread of the SoyFACE observations. Although
JULES-crop is able to reproduce observed LAI seasonality, its magnitude is
underestimated. The newly calibrated version of JULES will be applied
regionally and globally in future JULES simulations. This study helps to
build a state-of-the-art impact assessment model and contribute to a more
complete understanding of the impacts of climate change on food production.

Abstract. Urban air quality issues are closely related to the human health and economic development. In order to improve the resolution and numerical accuracy of urban air quality simulation, this study has developed the Atmospheric Photolysis calculation framework (APFoam-1.0), an open-source CFD code based on OpenFOAM, which can be used to examine the micro-scale reactive pollutant formation and dispersion in the urban area. The chemistry module of the newly APFoam has been modified by adding five new types of reaction, which implements the coupling with atmospheric photochemical mechanism (full O3–NOx–VOCs chemistry) and CFD model. Additionally, numerical model has been validated and shows the good agreement with wind tunnel experimental data, indicating that the APFoam has sufficient ability to study urban turbulence and pollutant dispersion characteristics. By applying the APFoam, O3–NOx–VOCs formation processes and dispersion of the reactive pollutants are analyzed in an example of typical street canyon (aspect ratio H / W = 1). Chemistry mechanism comparison shows that O3 and NO2 are underestimated while NO is overestimated if the VOCs reactions are not considered in the simulation. Moreover, model sensitivity cases reveal that 82 %–98 % and 75 %–90 % of NO and NO2 are related to the local vehicle emissions which are verified as the dominated contributors to local reactive pollutant concentration in contrast to their background conditions. Besides, a large amount of NOx emission, especially NO emission, is beneficial to reduce the O3 concentrations since NO consumes O3. Background precursors (NOx/VOCs) from boundary conditions only contribute 2 %–16 % and 12 %–24 % of NO and NO2 concentrations and raise O3 concentration by 5 %–9 %. Weaker ventilation conditions lead to accumulation of NOx and higher NOx concentration, but a lower O3 concentrations due to the stronger NO titration effect consuming O3. Furthermore, in order to reduce the reactive pollutant concentrations under the odd-even license plate policy (reduce 50 % of the total vehicle emissions), vehicle VOCs emissions should be reduced by at least another 30 % to effectively lower O3, NO and NO2 concentrations at the same time. These results indicate that the examination of the precursors (NOx/VOCs) from both traffic emissions and background boundaries is the key point for better understanding O3–NOx–VOCs chemistry mechanisms in street canyons and providing effective guidelines for the joint prevention and control of local street air pollution.

Further comments on seismic design loads for bridges
Authors: Berrill J. B. , Priestley M. J. N. , Peek R.
Published: December 2020

This paper provides background material to the loadings section of the model code recently published by the Society's Discussion Group on Bridge Design, and presents a preliminary re-evaluation of the design spectra given in the proposed code. The basis for the proposed zoning scheme, in which the present uniform Zone B is replaced by a transition zone, is discussed. Arguments are given underlying the return period coefficients, and the force reduction factor used in generating the inelastic response spectra of the code. It is likely that the design spectra and the values of the other coefficients determining base shear forces will need to be revised as further research results become available; however, the form of the base shear expression, and the loadings section as a whole, should remain unchanged. Re-evaluated spectra suggest that the seismic coefficient values given in the proposed code may be too large by about 25 percent in Zone A, and too low by as much as 40 percent in  Zone C. While the reassessed values should be more reliable than the original ones, they are based on a Japanese attenuation model, which has not yet been calibrated against New Zealand data. Further research is required to establish an appropriate attenuation model for New Zealand;  to avoid undue proliferation of design loadings it is preferable to defer revision of the various coefficients in the proposed code until such a model is available. Until this is done, the proposed spectra should be viewed with caution, particularly in Zone C.
Tracer test on the Dragonja landfill
Authors: Čenčur Curk Barbara
Published: December 2020

The paper presents the results of a tracer experiment with the uranine tracer at the non-hazardous landfill of Dragonja. The purpose of the tracer test was to determine the dynamics of the potential pollutants from the landfill to the groundwater. The landfill lies on the thicker weathered layer of flysch rock that forms the slope of the hill. At the foot of the hill are silty clay and partly sandy alluvial sediments of the Dragonja River. The transport of uranine depends on the intensity and duration of precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, permeability, precipitation infiltration into the landfill, and saturation of the weathering layer of flysh. Uranine first appeared in the observation well P2, which is located downstream of the injection point, in the direction of water flow. Observation well P1 is not in the direction of direct flow and therefore only the edge of the dispersed tracer plume appeared in P1. The groundwater from the flysch weathered layer drains into the alluvial plain and the uranine concentrations are diluted in the groundwater. In the observation well P5 a slow increase and decrease of the uranium concentration was therefore observed. Due to the high evapotranspiration, the groundwater levels were falling until October, when they began to rise after autumnal precipitation events. The tracer experiment confirmed the heterogeneity and complexity of the geological structure of the landfill site.

By using recycled waste in construction, natural materials are being replaced, thus establishing a circular economy at the local level. An important aspect is also the conservation of natural resources. This is especially important in case of earthworks (embankments, backfills), which are large consumers of materials. Compared to natural aggregates and earth, geotechnical composites based on recycled materials can contain a higher total content of potentially toxic elements (heavy metals, chloride, sulphate, fluoride, organic pollutants etc.). The prerequisite for beneficial use of such composites is that the potentially toxic elements are immobilized in the composites, meaning that they are chemically inert. Potential environmental impacts, especially those associated with transfer of potentially toxic elements from new geotechnical composites into soil (aquifer respectively), are usually evaluated on laboratory scale, while their behaviour in real environment is usually poorly investigated. For this reason, there is a demand for the development of sensitive, reliable, and cost and time efficient monitoring tools for determining mass flows of potentially toxic elements from building materials, for example geotechnical composites, which are under the influence of various environmental factors. This paper presents the construction of field laboratory, based on a system of pan lysimeters. The lysimeters are used to collect leachate from geotechnical composites based on recycled materials. They are constructed in a way to be relatively low cost and at the same time large enough to representatively reflect the processes in geotechnical fills. Obtained data on the amount and quality of leachate can be used as a basis for the study of immobilization processes and for water balance. Moreover, this data will be used as input in the geochemical numerical model for the simulation of transport of potentially toxic elements released from geotechnical fills in different types of aquifers (alluvial aquifer with intergranular porosity, aquifer in consolidated rocks with fissure porosity).
