Pozicija Republike Srbije u odnosu na politiku i regulativu u oblasti energetske efikasnosti EU u okvirima energetske tranzicije i klimatskih promena
Authors:   The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia, Solujić Antonela
Published: September 2024

Kao jedna od najvažnijih politika za borbu protiv klimatskih promena, politika u oblasti energetske efikasnosti i regulativa u ovoj oblasti prošli su kroz mnoge promene u poslednjih 15 godina. EU je 2007. godine postavila tri ključna cilja za 2020. godinu u pogledu smanjenje emisija GHG za 20% (u odnosu na 1990. godinu), povećanje korišćenje energije iz obnovljivih izvora energije od 20% i pobolјšanje energetske efikasnosti od 20%. Da bi se postigli ovi cilјevi, nakon 2009. godine u EU je usvojen set propisa o energetskoj efikasnosti koji je obuhvatio energetsku efikasnost i u potrošnji i proizvodnji energije, uklјučujući energetska svojstva zgrada i energetsku efikasnost proizvoda koji utiču na potrošnju energiju. Evropski zeleni dogovor je nakon 2020. godine postavio još ambicioznije ciljeve za EU koja nastoji da postane prvi klimatski neutralan kontinent do 2050. godine, postavljajući kao jedan od međuciljeva smanjenje emisija GHG od 55% do 2030. godine. Proizvodnja i upotreba energije je uzrok više od 75% emisija GHG u EU, zbog čega je dekarbonizacija energetskog sistema EU ključna za postizanje tih ciljeva. Ambiciozni ciljevi energetske efikasnosti su ključni za dostizanje energetske tranzicije Evrope. Mere energetske efikasnosti u EU se fokusiraju na oblasti politike sa najvećim potencijalom za uštedu energije i gde je potreban usklađen pristup u zemljama EU. To uključuje industriju, javni sektor, izgradnju i renoviranje zgrada, sektor transporta i energetike i uvođenje jedinstvenog sistema energetskog označavanja. Shodno tome, regulativa u oblasti energetske efikasnosti se neprestano prerađuje i revidira, kako bi se obezbedilo ispunjenje veoma ambicioznih ciljeva.

Individual gray whale use of coastal waters off northwest Washington during the feeding season 1984–2011: Implications for management
Authors: Scordino Jonathan J. , Gosho Merrill , Gearin Patrick J. , Akmajian Adrianne , Calambokidis John , Wright Nancy
Published: September 2024

Gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) in northwest Washington were studied, with the aims to: (1) increase understanding of gray whale use of the study area; (2) document the annual and seasonal fluctuations in the numbers of whales utilising the area; and (3) assess the fidelity of whales to the study area within and between years. Together these goals establish a baseline of gray whale behaviour during summer and autumn in the region of the Makah Tribe’s proposed whale hunt. From 1984 to 2011, a total of 225 unique gray whales were observed, with 49% being observed again in a future year. There was significant variability in observation rates of gray whales by month and year. During the feeding season, the observation rate increased to a peak in August in the north research segment in the Pacific Ocean and to a peak in October in research segments in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and in the southern research segment in the Pacific Ocean. Gray whales were most commonly observed at depths of 5–15m over rocky substrates and often near kelp forests, although the locations where they fed were dynamic by both month and year. Some whales habitually returned to northwest Washington, however the average whale in the study area was observed in only 31.6% (SE = 1.6%) of the possible years in which they could have been observed. Gray whales in the study area had an average minimum tenure (residency time) of 24.8 days out of a possible 183 days of the feeding season. A discovery curve analysis did not reach an asymptote over the 27 years of this study showing that there is no population closure to the research area. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that even though northwest Washington is an important feeding area, most Pacific Coast Feeding Group (PCFG) gray whales do not have strong fidelity to this one region within the IWC defined PCFG range. The findings presented in this paper provide a baseline for evaluating the impact of Makah hunting activities on the behaviour of PCFG whales that utilise the Makah’s traditional hunting area once hunting activities resume.

Authors: LIM Wing Shen , MALANDI Wilter Azwal
Published: September 2024

The Former Mamut Copper Mine (MCM) is a historical landmark rich in both aesthetic and cultural values, but from a scientific perspective, its potential for nature-based tourism remains unexplored. A visual rapid assessment was conducted at MCM, to examine its suitability for nature-based tourism, focusing on site accessibility, hazard levels, scenic visibility, and scenic beauty. Twenty locations with high aesthetic and/or historical values were visually investigated, based on the four specified criteria, utilizing a three-point rating score system. The assessment emphasized a moderate suitability level for nature-based tourism at MCM (Score = 2.337), with significant variations in suitability level observed between the 20 locations (χ2 = 32.36, p = 0.021). Twelve locations showing higher scores in site accessibility, hazard level, and scenic visibility were determined to be more suitable for nature-based tourism, when compared to the other eight locations. Both the Principal Component Analysis and Spearman’s Correlation test highlighted the significant influences of hazard level (ρ = 0.685, p < 0.001), accessibility (ρ = 0.652, p = 0.002), and scenic visibility (ρ = 0.685, p < 0.001) on the suitability of MCM for nature-based tourism, in comparison to  site scenic beauty (ρ = 0.203, p = 0.381). These findings provide new insights highlighting the high suitability of MCM for nature-based tourism. Additionally, this research uncovers safety concerns, rendering public access and the carrying out of  recreational activities at MCM, currently infeasible. Management authorities are urged to prioritize efforts that reduce hazard levels and enhance the quality and accessibility of local attractions in  future.

Drug Shortages and Patient Harms
Authors: CADTH
Published: September 2024

What Is the Issue?

Drug shortages are a global issue with complex dynamics. Shortages can occur because of disruption at any point along the drug supply chain. Several strategies are used in Canada to prevent or alleviate the effects of drug shortages, including mandatory reporting by drug manufacturers.
An understanding of the amount and types of real or potential harms caused to patients can inform policy decisions around drug shortage management and prevention.

What Did We Do?

We searched for literature providing evidence on patient outcomes associated with supply chain disruptions of pharmaceuticals and vaccines. An information specialist conducted a search of peer-reviewed literature sources published between January 1, 2003, and September 13, 2023.
Documents were excluded if the objective was to investigate the potential effects of a drug shortage in the absence of an actual drug shortage or if the outcomes were not direct patient harms.

What Did We Find?

One scoping review and 33 nonrandomized studies were identified that evaluated patient outcomes associated with supply chain disruptions of pharmaceuticals and vaccines.
We identified a wide variety of drug classes experiencing shortages. The most frequently reported shortages were anesthetics, oncology drugs, vaccines, drugs for the treatment of COVID-19, antimicrobials, and small-volume parenteral solutions.
Most of the included primary studies concluded that the replacement drug or protocol was a safe or acceptable alternative to the shortage drug. The subset of primary studies that concluded that the replacement drug or protocol was not a safe or acceptable alternative to the shortage drug reported worse outcomes in health system use (including length of hospital stay), adverse events, disease progression, and mortality.

What Does This Mean?

Drug shortages have the potential to cause harm to patients and some drug shortages may have a greater impact on patients than others. The ability to predict which drugs could cause the greatest harm during a supply disruption would be a great benefit for future planning.
The diversity of drugs experiencing shortages and their associated harms emphasizes that decision-makers may need to take a case-by-case approach when developing policies meant to lessen the impact of drug shortages.

Authors: Ulan Purnama Mega , Nurjannah
Published: September 2024

Broiler chickens are a rapidly growing breed, and their growth is influenced by environmental conditions. The poultry house is one of the most crucial aspects of broiler chicken management, particularly the conditions inside the house, such as air temperature, humidity, and ammonia levels. Therefore, it is essential to regularly check the poultry house conditions. In this research, the author developed an embedded system capable of detecting temperature, humidity, and ammonia levels inside the poultry house. The system periodically sends temperature, humidity, and ammonia gas information to the Berkah Bersama information system, and this information is displayed in the form of graphs. Temperature, humidity, and ammonia gas information will be sent via email if the environmental conditions exceed or fall below the threshold. The embedded system was created using a microcontroller, temperature and humidity  sensors (DHT11), and an ammonia level sensor (MQ-135). Arduino serves as the microcontroller, and NodeMCU ESP8266 is used as the communication tool to send poultry house environmental conditions to the Berkah Bersama information system (SIBEBE) and the manager via email. Testing was conducted in two stages: functionality and connectivity. Functionality testing demonstrated that the sensors can produce air temperature, humidity, andammonia level information by comparing them with conventional tools. Connectivity testing proved that the NodeMCU ESP8266 module can send monitoring data every day and under specific conditions.

Intranet is a network technology that applies the concept of a local network (LAN) by adopting internet technology. Because it applies the LAN concept, the Intranet network only applies to a fairly small scope. In this study, researchers used the PPDIOO method in practice. This research aims to optimize data management and confidentiality at twenty-six asset substations belonging to PT PLN (Persero) Unit Pelaksana Transmisi Banjarbaru with plans to build an intranet network at each substation. With this intranet network, PT PLN (Persero) Unit Pelaksana Transmisi Banjarbaru finds it easier to manage communications and maintain data confidentiality because it can only be accessed by employees or workers connected to the local network

Solar FTIR measurements of NOx vertical distributions – Part 2: Experiment-based scaling factors describing the daytime variation in stratospheric NOx

Published: September 2024

Abstract. Long-term experimental stratospheric NO2 and NO partial columns measured by means of solar Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry at Zugspitze (47.42° N, 10.98° E; 2964 m a.s.l.), Germany, were used to create a set of experiment-based monthly scaling factors (SFexp). The underlying data set is published in a companion paper (Nürnberg et al., 2024) and comprises over 25 years of measurements depicting the daytime variability of stratospheric NO2 and NO partial columns with respect to local solar time (LST). In accordance with simulation-based scaling factors recently published by Strode et al. (2022), we created SFexp normalized to SZA =72° for NO2 and NO for every month of the year as a function of solar zenith angle (SZA). Apart from a boundary value problem at minimum SZA values originating from averaging over different times of the month, the obtained scaling factors SFexp(NO2) and SFexp(NO) as a function of SZA represent the daytime behavior already shown in model simulations and experiments in the literature very well. This shows a well-pronounced increase in the NO2 and NO stratospheric partial column with the time of the day and a flattening of this increase after noon. In addition to the discussion of SFexp, we validate the simulation-based scaling factors SFsim(NO2) (Strode et al., 2022) and present simulation-based scaling factors for NO SFsim(NO). The simulation-based scaling factors show excellent agreement with the experiment-based ones; i.e., for NO2 and NO the mean value of the modulus between the experiment and simulation over all SZAs and months is only 0.02 %. We show that recently used model simulations can describe the real behavior of nitrogen oxide (NOx) variability in the stratosphere very well. Furthermore, we conclude that ground-based FTIR measurements can be used for validation of the output of photochemistry models and for creating experiment-based data sets describing the daytime stratospheric NOx variability as a function of SZA. This is a contribution to improved satellite validation and a better understanding of stratospheric photochemistry.
A question of time and space: A model approach to the synchronicity of gypsum and halite during the Messinian Salinity Crisis
Authors: Ebner Ronja Monika , Meijer Paul
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Saltgiants, although well studies, still offer some unsolved questions. One example is the Messinian Saltgiant which formed during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC, 5.97 to 5.33 Ma) in the Mediterranean Sea. While a common assumption is that gypsum precipitated in the marginal parts of the basin before halite formed in the deeper part of the basin, this could be not yet been confirmed. Indeed, it has also been suggested that, while the primary lower gypsum was forming, the deep basins was already accumulating halite. In this study we use box modeling to investigate the distribution of halite and gypsum deposits for different configurations. Due to a dimensionless description of basin restriction, our results can be transferred to other basins. With this approach we find that under the right conditions all configurations lead to a simultaneous but spatially separated precipitation of gypsum and halite. They would, however, not lead to the spatial pattern that is observed in the Mediterranean, i.e. halite deposition in the deep basins while gypsum is deposited in the margins. Based on those results we propose a timeline for a salinifying basin. For an average salinity above gypsum but below halite saturation, halite is first formed in a sufficiently restricted margin, and only once the average salinity approaches the one of halite saturation can it also form in open areas of the basin due to horizontal salinity gradients. Once the whole basin has reached halite saturation, gypsum only forms in margins with a positive local freshwater budget. Such a mechanism would produce less than 1 m of gypsum within 25 kyr. We thus conclude that a simultaneous, yet spatially separated precipitation of gypsum and halite within a one basin is possible, but unlikely to have led to the massive primary lower gypsum outcrops in the Mediterranean, while halite formed in the deeper parts of the same sub-basin.
HyPhAICC v1.0: a hybrid physics–AI approach for probability fields advection shown through an application to cloud cover nowcasting

Abstract. This work proposes a hybrid approach that combines physics and artificial intelligence (AI) for cloud cover nowcasting. It addresses the limitations of traditional deep-learning methods in producing realistic and physically consistent results that can generalise to unseen data. The proposed approach, named HyPhAICC, enforces a physical behaviour. In the first model, denoted as HyPhAICC-1, a multi-level advection dynamics is considered a hard constraint for a trained U-Net model. Our experiments show that the hybrid formulation outperforms not only traditional deep-learning methods but also the EUMETSAT Extrapolated Imagery model (EXIM) in terms of both qualitative and quantitative results. In particular, we illustrate that the hybrid model preserves more details and achieves higher scores based on similarity metrics in comparison to U-Net. Remarkably, these improvements are achieved while using only one-third of the data required by the other models. Another model, denoted as HyPhAICC-2, adds a source term to the advection equation, it impaired the visual rendering but displayed the best performance in terms of accuracy. These results suggest that the proposed hybrid physics–AI architecture provides a promising solution to overcome the limitations of classical AI methods and contributes to open up new possibilities for combining physical knowledge with deep-learning models.
