The First Drying Lake in Chile: Causes and Recovery Options
Authors: Valdés-Pineda Rodrigo , García-Chevesich Pablo , Valdés Juan B. , Pizarro-Tapia Roberto
Published: January 2020

Located southwest of the city of Santiago (Chile), the Aculeo Lagoon used to be an important body of water, providing environmental, social, and economic services to both locals (mostly drinking water and small-scale agricultural irrigation) and tourists who visited the area for fishing, sailing, and other recreational activities. The lagoon dried completely in May of 2018. The phenomenon has been attributed to the current climatic drought. We implemented and calibrated a surface-groundwater model to evaluate the hydrogeologic causes of the lagoon’s disappearance, and to develop feasible solutions. The lagoon’s recovery requires a series of urgent actions, including environmental education and significant investment in infrastructure to import water. Ultimately, there are two goals: bringing back historic water levels and ensuring the sustainability of water resources at the catchment scale.
Groundwater–Surface Water Interactions: Recent Advances and Interdisciplinary Challenges
Authors: Lewandowski Jörg , Meinikmann Karin , Krause Stefan
Published: January 2020

The interactions of groundwater with surface waters such as streams, lakes, wetlands, or oceans are relevant for a wide range of reasons—for example, drinking water resources may rely on hydrologic fluxes between groundwater and surface water. However, nutrients and pollutants can also be transported across the interface and experience transformation, enrichment, or retention along the flow paths and cause impacts on the interconnected receptor systems. To maintain drinking water resources and ecosystem health, a mechanistic understanding of the underlying processes controlling the spatial patterns and temporal dynamics of groundwater–surface water interactions is crucial. This Special Issue provides an overview of current research advances and innovative approaches in the broad field of groundwater–surface water interactions. The 20 research articles and 1 communication of this Special Issue cover a wide range of thematic scopes, scales, and experimental and modelling methods across different disciplines (hydrology, aquatic ecology, biogeochemistry, environmental pollution) collaborating in research on groundwater–surface water interactions. The collection of research papers in this Special Issue also allows the identification of current knowledge gaps and reveals the challenges in establishing standardized measurement, observation, and assessment approaches. With regards to its relevance for environmental and water management and protection, the impact of groundwater–surface water interactions is still not fully understood and is often underestimated, which is not only due to a lack of awareness but also a lack of knowledge and experience regarding appropriate measurement and analysis approaches. This lack of knowledge exchange from research into management practice suggests that more efforts are needed to disseminate scientific results and methods to practitioners and policy makers.

Published: January 2020

Abutment scour is a complex three-dimensional phenomenon, which is one of the leading causes of marine structure damage. Structural integrity is potentially attainable through the precise estimation of local scour depth. Due to the high complexity of scouring hydrodynamics, existing regression-based relations cannot make accurate predictions. Therefore, this study presented a novel expansion of extreme learning machines (ELM) to predict abutment scour depth (ds) in clear water conditions. The model was built using the relative flow depth (h/L), excess abutment Froude number (Fe), abutment shape factor (Ks), and relative sediment size (d50/L). A wide range of experimental samples was collected from the literature, and data was utilized to develop the ELM model. The ELM model reliability was evaluated based on the estimation results and several statistical indices. According to the results, the sigmoid activation function (correlation coefficient, R = 0.97; root mean square error, RMSE = 0.162; mean absolute percentage error, MAPE = 7.69; and scatter index, SI = 0.088) performed the best compared with the hard limit, triangular bias, radial basis, and sine activation functions. Eleven input combinations were considered to investigate the impact of each dimensionless variable on the abutment scour depth. It was found that ds/L = f (Fe, h/L, d50/L, Ks) was the best ELM model, indicating that the dimensional analysis of the original data properly reflected the underlying physics of the problem. Also, the absence of one variable from this input combination resulted in a significant accuracy reduction. The results also demonstrated that the proposed ELM model significantly outperformed the regression-based equations derived from the literature. The ELM model presented a fundamental equation for abutment scours depth prediction. Based on the simulation results, it appeared the ELM model could be used effectively in practical engineering applications of predicting abutment scour depth. The estimated uncertainty of the developed ELM model was calculated and compared with the conventional and artificial intelligence-based models. The lowest uncertainty with a value of ±0.026 was found in the proposed model in comparison with ±0.50 as the best uncertainty of the other models.
Channel Changes and Controlling Factors over the Past 150 Years in the Basento River (Southern Italy)
Authors: de Musso Nicoletta Maria , Capolongo Domenico , Caldara Massimo , Surian Nicola , Pennetta Luigi
Published: January 2020

Channel changes are receiving growing interest in relation to the relevant implications for river management and restoration. In this kind of analysis, purely qualitative approaches have been gradually replaced by quantitative approaches aimed at reconstructing the temporal variations in parameters (e.g., channel width and depth) to investigate not only the evolutionary trend of the river but also the possible cause-effect connections. This paper investigates the channel dynamics in the Basento River (Basilicata Region, Italy) over the past 150 years, when the river was heavily affected by human activities (e.g., hydraulic interventions and gravel mining) and climate changes. Channel adjustments were analysed with historical maps, aerial photos, and geomorphological surveys. The results show that the channel underwent a strong narrowing during the twentieth century, similar to many rivers in Italy, with the most intense phase from the 1950s to the 1990s (with the width varying from −30% to −80%). The morphology pattern remained almost completely unchanged, apart from a few reaches located in the hilly area that were affected by intense modifications before the 1940s. The causes of channel adjustments were identified as human disturbances (land use variations, channel interventions at the reach scale, sediment mining) from the end of the 1800s to present, as well as natural factors (changes in frequency, duration, and intensity of flood events), whose effects have intensified since the late 1990s.

Authors: Seo Guh Jung , Seo Ju Heon , Cho Kyung Jin , Cho Hyung-Suk
Published: January 2020

Anal gland/duct cyst (AGC) is rare and observed in only 0.05% of patients undergoing anal surgery. AGC is thought to be a retention cyst in the anal gland and arises when an obstruction of the anal duct causes fluid collection in the anal gland. We report a case of AGC in a 66-year-old woman without anal symptoms. Found by colonoscopy, the AGC was excised transanally. The histopathology of the specimen confirmed AGC. Colonoscopists should include AGC in the differential diagnosis of anal canal mass and rule out of malignancy. Excision is recommended for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
The Impact of an Identity Based Destination Image on Destination Loyalty: with Special Reference to Sri Lanka as a Tourist Destination
Authors: Lakmal H M Aminda
Published: January 2020

Destination loyalty and destination image are the two major components used in measuring brand performance in the Consumer Based Brand Equity model (CBBE). Measuring brand performance is one of the major streams in branding literature. This study conceptualized destination brand image as a stakeholder co-created value, which is a new conceptualization in branding literature. Thus, brand community associations were added to represent the stakeholder perspective, which includes functional associations, symbolic associations, and experiential associations, all of which ultimately constitute the dimensions of an identity based destination image. A new scale for identity based destination image was developed by conducting an exploratory factor analysis using principal component analysis with promax rotation. This method used 211 responses and measured the impact of identity based destination image on destination loyalty using another 260 responses. The theoretical contribution of this study is the development of a new scale to measure identity based destination image with the addition of brand community associations. Also, brand community associations have been verified as an important and integral dimension of identity based destination image. Thus, identity based destination image can be used as a strong predictor of destination performance. Therefore, destination marketers of Sri Lanka can focus on a combination of functional, symbolic, experiential, and brand community associations when coming up with promotional campaigns to promote Sri Lanka as an attractive tourist destination.
Uruguay: Una respuesta política a la graduación y a la Agenda 2030
Authors: Vignolo Andrea , Van Rompaey Karen
Published: January 2020

Este documento de trabajo analiza cómo la cooperación internacional para el desarrollo (CID) está mostrando síntomas de que atraviesa una serie de crisis interconectadas: de poder, de relevancia y de legitimidad. Se ha abierto una brecha entre el marco normativo que orienta los esfuerzos de la cooperación internacional con base en la Agenda 2030 y sus Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), y algunas prácticas institucionales sustentadas en conceptualizaciones y criterios que nuevos actores del ámbito de la cooperación están cuestionando activamente. Al reducirla a su valor monetario y equipararla con otras fuentes de financiamiento públicas y privadas, la cooperación internacional está perdiendo su im- portancia en la medida en que se menosprecia su capacidad para incidir políticamente y así avanzar en la agenda de desarrollo sostenible. Se examina también cómo Uruguay, en alianza con otros países y organismos multilaterales, está impulsando el debate sobre la llamada “graduación”, política que impide que algunos países de mayor desarrollo relativo sigan recibiendo Ayuda Oficial al Desarrollo (AOD), y la necesidad de encontrar criterios y métricas multidimensionales más idóneos para apoyar a los países en su transición al desarrollo sostenible sin dejar a nadie atrás. Al mismo tiempo, se discute cómo la política de cooperación internacional de naturaleza dual del gobierno de Uruguay —que busca dar respuesta a los desafíos de la graduación y de la implementación de la Agenda 2030, la más urgente y ambiciosa de las tareas que tiene por delante la humanidad— puede aportar elementos para la construcción de un sistema de cooperación internacional más robusto y equitativo, que esté a la altura de este desafío sin precedente.

Authors: Mahmood Faisal , Khan Abdul Zahid , Khan Mohammad Bashir
Published: January 2020

The Digital Transformation phenomenon always tends to be complicated, ambiguous, challenging, and non-routine managerial tasks for organizations. The success rate of such digital transformation is very low due to rapid changes in technologies. Digital transformation through these technologies demands a fundamental change in organization processes, technology and behavior of the people. This broad change results in different socio-technical issues and challenges. The primary objective of the study is to discover issues, challenges and impact/benefits during digital transformation, investigated by various researchers. For this purpose, a systematic literature review (SLR) as prescribed by Levy and Ellis (2005) helped in identifying the challenges of digital transformation. The articles published from 2008 to 2018 were selected and analyzed. The findings of this research reflect the importance of developing an effective digital transformation strategy in organizations. The proactive strategy regarding people, process, technology, and most importantly their alignment in the organization is found critical in executing such transformation initiative in the organization. The planned efforts regarding knowledge management also played an important role in executing and sustaining such transformation initiatives in the organizations. Moreover, value creation, operational efficiency, competitive advantage, customer relationship, and new business model emerged as a vital motivational factor and outcome for digital transformation.
Keywords: Digital transformation, digital transformation issues and challenges, systematic literature review, digital transformation benefits/impact.

Published: January 2020

Islamic personal financing (IPF) is an emerging phenomenon though less investigated area in Islamic finance. IPF, which the Islamic banks offer according to the needs of their customers, has been overlooked especially using a comprehensive model(s) in most of the developing Islamic countries. This study closes the gap and examines the factors (i.e., attitude, government support, social influence, pricing, and awareness) that determine the acceptance of Islamic personal financing in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, Pakistan. Relying on the survey, the study used a sample of Islamic banks customers who were studying or doing a job in higher education institutions. The data were collected through a survey by distributing 600 questionnaires out of which 360 valid responses were used for further analysis. For analyzing the data, the Smart-PLS was used with structural equation modeling to get results of the hypothesized relationships. Results of the present study reveal that social influence, attitude, government support, and awareness have positive and significant effects while pricing has a negative but significant impact on the acceptance of IPF. The findings of this study can be used as a tool for making better policies and right practices of Islamic banks thereby enhancing the IPF in Pakistan.

The use of next generation sequencing (NGS) directly on respiratory specimens to obtain viral whole genome sequence (WGS) enhances the capability for rapid and unbiased viral characterization. One of the challenges of using NGS directly in influenza-like illness (ILI) respiratory specimens is the higher proportion of host and bacterial genome compared to viral genetic materials found, which reduces the likelihood of obtaining complete viral genome sequences. This study aims to evaluate nuclease pretreatments prior to sequencing of influenza B virus directly from ILI respiratory specimens. Sequence data were mapped to human, bacteria and influenza B viral genome. In the absence of any nuclease pretreatments, the sequence reads identified as Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Neisseria meningitidis and Veillonella parvula were the most prominent genetic materials in respiratory specimens. Filtration followed by nuclease treatment reduced bacterial sequence reads by at least 70 folds in all 4 tested samples, supporting the direct application of NGS in ILI respiratory specimens. Although the pretreatment methods significantly reduced human genome sequences, the remaining human genome especially human rRNA still impact the number and proportion of the viral sequence reads.

Morphological and Compositional Features of Chromian Spinel from Mantle Ultramafic Rocks of The Nurali Massif (South Urals)
Authors: Saveliev D.E.
Published: January 2020

Accessory chromian spinels of lherzolites and dunites from a mantle section of the Nurali ophiolite massif are described in the paper. Lherzolites typically host anhedral chromian spinel grains associated with olivine, pyroxenes and plagioclase. The compositions of silicates and chromian spinels are typical of those from ophiolite mantle sections. Olivine and orthopyroxene are characterized by high Mg content (forsterite and enstatite); clinopyroxene is diopside. The compositions of chromian spinel on the Al–Cr–Fe+3 plot occur close to the Al–Cr side. The #Cr and #Mg values of chromian spinels increase from lherzolites to dunites. Both vermicular spinels trapping olivine and orthopyroxene fragments (type I) and symplectite-like intergrowths of chromian spinel and plagioclase (type II) are most genetically interesting. Type I formed during synkinematic growth in deformed silicate matrix. Type II possibly formed as a result of decompression breakdown of a high-P mineral phase enriched in Cr, Al and Ca (a knorringite-type garnet?). In dunites, numerous tiny chromian spinel rods (type IV) in plastic deformed olivine are observed along with typical euhedral chromian spinel (type III) with inclusions of olivine and pargasite. Latter ones locally occur closely to fne pargasite grains. The formation of chromian spinel rods is explained as a result deformation-induced segregation of trace elements on the structural defects of the olivine lattice.

The article presents the reasons for the increased values of criminal victimization of children compared with adults. The dynamics of violent domestic crimes victims committed in Russia based on official statistic. The most common types of criminal violence against children have described. The features of minor’s victimization have investigated. The main reduction factors of the officially registered mass of criminal assaults victims in the family have identified. Three levels of victimological prevention have disclosed: general social, special, individual. Special measures are considered at each level, subjects of victimological prevention at each level have identified. The authors analyzed the victimological measures, which are conditionally divided into three time stages: the first is the pre-criminal period; the second - the suppression period, identification and resolution of criminal conflicts against minors; the third is a post-criminal period. The structures whose activity is to carry out social adaptation have listed. There are temporary detention centers for juvenile delinquents in the system of internal affairs bodies. In these centers, children have provided with psychological, pedagogical, social, legal and other types of services. These measures contribute to a certain reduction in the recurrence of offenses. Of particular importance in reducing child victimization have employees of the internal affairs bodies and social worker.

The article outlines that in the pre-revolutionary period positive experience of labor activitywas accumulated for staff in the area of religious and moral support of convicted women with children in custody by distributing and reading books of moral and religious content, via interviews with ministers of church, teaching women and their children to read, write, craft, by establishing orphanages, both at prisons and outside of them. In the post-revolutionary period in Russia until the 60s of the 20th century, the main focus was kept on solving sanitary-hygienic and material-ware support issues during the detention of convicted women with children. The late 50s and early 60s of the XX century’s a historical period when on the one handimprisonment conditions of punishment for convicted women with children were improved, and on the other hand – formation of a special labor activity of the personnel of penitentiary system and development of approaches to psychological and pedagogical support this category of convicts began. In modern conditions of penitentiary system research by V. S. Mukhina can be considered as the program document on the organization and carrying out as a special labor activity by the personnel of psychological support of the condemned women with children held in children’s homes at correctional institutions. It contributed to the fact that since 2002, the Department of psychological services of the Central Directorate of Corrections ofthe Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation began to develop a «Program of rehabilitation of mothers and children in prison».
Russian police science of the late xix –early xx century about the grounds and limits of application measures of state coercion
Authors: Tarasov Nikita
Published: January 2020

The relevance of the topic is due to the scientific and practical importance of issues related to the search for effective means and mechanisms of building a legal state in the Russian Federation. The questions relating to the grounds and limits of the use of state coercion measures, which were the subject of the domestic police-legal theory are considered in article. At the late XIX – early XX century in the Russian police science actively discussed the role of state coercion in the system of public administration, the compatibility of state coercion and the desire to ensure the rights and freedoms of the individual. Understanding of these issues is reflected in the works of N. A. Griftsov, A. E. Nazimov, M. N. Palibin, Y. S. Stepanov, Ya. Felser, which to date in modern historical and legal science have not received a proper assessment. The works of these police scientists became the subject of this research. The aim of the study is to analyze the theoretical and legal heritage of policemen. Methodological basis of the research: General scientific (historical, system, functional) and special (formal-legal, historical-legal, comparative-legal) methods of legal research. The method of interpretation of legal ideas was used. As a result of the analysis of the main provisions of the works of Russian police scientists, it was concluded that state coercion was considered by jurists as an element of domestic activity. Russian police scientists in the face of state seen the guarantor is able to ensure the security of citizens, therefore, recognized the possibility of using the state power of coercion. But at the same time, the police stressed the importance of determining the grounds and limits of the use of measures of state coercion.
Unrestricted (absolute) rights and freedoms of man and citizen in the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993 and international acts
Authors: Podmarev Aleksandr
Published: January 2020

The 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation as one of the principles of the legal status of an individual establishes the possibility of restricting human and civil rights and freedoms, while also providing for the necessary conditions for imposing such restrictions (the existence of a constitutional goal of restriction; setting restrictions only by federal law; proportionality; compliance with international standards of restrictions; prohibition restrictions on rights based on social, racial, national, linguistic or religious affiliation). The need for the existence of restrictions on the rights and freedoms of the individual is due to various reasons: the protection of the foundations of the constitutional order, the rights and freedoms of other persons, and the interests of the state. However, certain human rights and freedoms cannot be restricted under any circumstances; this so-called absolute rights and freedoms. But neither national legislation nor international law contain a precisely defined list of absolute rights and freedoms. The aim of the article is to identify in the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993 and in international acts unrestricted (absolute) rights and freedoms of a person and citizen. The relevance of the research topic for the Russian constitutional legal science is due to the fact that certainty in the understanding of the list of unrestricted rights and freedoms is necessary for the improvement of lawmaking and law enforcement activities. The article examines the provisions of the Constitution of Russia, the main international legal acts on human rights, the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.

Introduction. Digital technologies are booming in the modern world. The resource economy is being replaced by the innovation economy. The results of intellectual activity occupy an increasing place in the economies of different countries. But any important invention must be properly protected. The purpose of this article is to study the problems of legal regulation of patent rights in the Russian Federation. Methodology. The work used General methods of cognition-comparison, analysis, synthesis, abstraction, system, structural and functional approach, ascent from the abstract to the concrete, etc. Results: the study allowed the authors to formulate a conclusion that administrative and legal liability as a means of legal protection of inventive rights, characterized by the presence of significant potential. However, a set of reasons prevents the realization of this potential to a sufficient extent. Among such reasons, the authors, among other things, rank the problems of legal regulation of administrative responsibility and civil liability in the field of patent law. The study of some of these problems allowed the authors to form several proposals for amendments to the current legislation.

Disposal problem of waste materials and excessive demand on naturally available resources due to rapid urban development has opened possibilities for use of waste materials in construction industry. Many waste materials are used in concrete as replacement to cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and reinforcement. Here review of some waste materials, whose ash is used as partial replacement to cement in concrete, is presented. Different properties of fresh and hardened concrete, when admixed with ash of waste materials are reviewed. Concrete containing sugar cane bagasse ash, ground nut shell ash, rice husk ash, saw dust ash, and tobacco waste ash are reviewed. After review, it is observed that further studies are required on all waste ashes replacing cement, which will reveal more potential on their usage in concrete. Concrete containing ash of waste materials attained demanded strength within 5% to 20% replacement.

In this paper, the flexural behavior of hybrid fibre reinforced concrete beams was investigated. Two types of hybrid fibres were used. used in this study, one is having high young’s modulus steel fibre (Hooked end) and another one is having low young’s modulus Polypropylene fibre with different proportions. Nine types of reinforced concrete beams were made by using M50 grade high strength concrete mix a volume factors of hybrid fibres as 1.5%. this beams includes conventional concrete, LC3 concrete and he beam with the following combinations of hybrid fibres such as OPC 100%, LC3 100%, SF100%, SF25% -PF75%, SF40%-PF60%, SF50%-PF50%, SF60%-PF40%, SF75%-PF25%, PF100%, the working results shows that percentage proportion of combined SF-PF at 75%-25% had the best implementation on its flexural strength. Experimental results also shows that beam with SF75%-PF25% had their structural stiffness, ductility index and energy absorption capacity have been improved the most as compared with the conventional concrete and other fibre combinations of beams.

Sentiment analysis, also known as Opinion Mining is one of the hottest topic Nowadays. in various social networking sites is one of the hottest topic and field nowadays. Here, we are using Twitter, the biggest web destinations for people to communicate with each other to perform the sentiment analysis and opinion mining by extracting the tweets by various users. The users can post brief text updates in twitter as it only allows 140 characters in one text message. Hashtags helps to search for tweets dealing with the specified subject. In previous researches, binary classification usually relies on the sentiment polarity(Positive , Negative and Neutral). The advantage is that multiple meaning of the same world might have different polarity, so it can be easily identified. In Multiclass classification, many tweets of one class are classified as if they belong to the others. The Neutral class presented the lowest precision in all the researches happened in this particular area. The set of tweets containing text and emoticon data will be classified into 13 classes. From each tweet, we extract different set of features using one hot encoding algorithm and use machine learning algorithms to perform classification. The entire tweets will be divided into training data sets and testing data sets. Training dataset will be pre-processed and classified using various Artificial Neural Network algorithms such as Reccurent Neural Network, Convolutional Neural Network etc. Moreover, the same procedure will be followed for the Text and Emoticon data. The developed model or system will be tested using the testing dataset. More precise and correct accuracy can be obtained or experienced using this multiclass classification of text and emoticons. 4 Key performance indicators will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the corresponding approach.
