Los condicionantes ambientales de las energías renovables: el ejemplo de la energía eólica y su regulación en el Derecho español
Authors: Mora Ruiz Manuela
Published: November 2022

El trabajo que se presenta pretende ser un estudio de la ordenación jurídica de las energías renovables actual teniendo en cuenta la dirección de futuro que este sector debe tomar, tanto por la incidencia de las corrientes liberalizadoras provenientes de Europa, como por la nueva regulación del sector a partir de la Directiva 2009/28/CE, del Parlamento y del Consejo, de 23 de abril, de fomento de las energías renovables. En este sentido, el aprovechamiento eólico y la regulación más reciente de esta materia por las Comunidades Autónomas plantea un escenario idóneo para la reflexión, teniendo en cuenta el papel de las normas ambientales como límite a la liberalización del ejercicio de la actividad económica.

Viabilidade econômica para implantação do sistema soja-milho safrinha no estado de São Paulo.
Authors: Gazola Tiago
Published: November 2022

The State of São Paulo is an important grain producer in Brazil. However, there is a lack of information regarding the production costs and structures needed to start agricultural activity. Therefore,the objective was to verify the profitability of soybean and corn crops to start as an individual rural producer. Data were collected between 2017 and 2018 in 15 municipalities and 30 state properties. The information was obtained regarding the acquisitions and factors of production necessary for the implantation and conduction of the crops plus the values of land lease, rural insurance, grain storage and taxation. Net profitability was obtained by the difference between the total cost of production and the gross income. The results showed that the farmer without land for cultivation would have a monthly profit of R$1,479.50 and the owner of the land would have a monthly profit of R$12,236.47.
Confiança e empreendimento em organização de produtores rurais.
Authors: Mendonça Bernardes Elaine , Alberto Ambrósio Luís
Published: November 2022

The literature suggests relevance of institutional trust for entrepreneurship. Furthermore, participation in associations is important for rural entrepreneurs. These facts support the general hypothesis of correlation between social trust and entrepreneurial behavior. We analyzed trust in both institutions and people by applying questionnaires based on the World Values Surveys on a sample of rural producers’ organization, with responses quantified on the Likert scale. Next, we determined the Pearson linear correlation between each entrepreneurship indicator variable and variables of trust in different institutions. The interpretation of the significant correlation coefficients was using 10% as a significance level. Results indicated an environment of low level of social trust, the existence of entrepreneurship, and a correlation between entrepreneurship and trust indicators in some institutions. Results corroborate the hypothesis for the studied rural producers’ association. A larger number of organizations is required to achieve greater consistency.

Genetic Variability in the Growth Hormone Gene (A781G) and Its Association with Milk Yield Performance in Crossbred Anglo-Nubian Dairy Goats
Authors: Moneva Carlo Stephen , Vega Renato , Sangel Percival , Angeles Amado , Mendioro Merlyn
Published: November 2022

This study was conducted to evaluate the genetic variation in the growth hormone (GH) gene and the influence of GH polymorphisms on the milk yield in crossbred Anglo-Nubian goats (n = 101) from three selected dairy farms in the Philippines. The first two farms were located in Barangay Awang, Opol, Misamis Oriental, while the third farm was situated in Barangay Talay, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental. Milk production data from the first to ≥ fourth parity was standardized to a 90-d and 140-d milking period. Genomic DNA was isolated from hair follicles and the A781G region of the caprine GH gene was amplified. Genotyping was performed via polymerase chain reaction – restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) using the HaeIII restriction enzyme (RE). Genotypic frequencies of 0.76 for AB and 0.24 for AA and allelic frequencies of 0.62 for A and 0.38 for B were recorded. In order to determine the effect of genotypes to milk yield, a two-way factorial (2 x 4) in randomized complete block design (RCBD) was performed. GH genotypes (AA, AB) and goat parities (first to ≥ fourth lactation) were considered as the main factors, while the three farms were used as the blocking factor. Milk yield traits between GH genotypes were insignificant (p > 0.05). However, dairy goats with AB genotype consistently produced higher milk yield than those with AA. Future studies should be conducted in other goat breeds to further expound the effects of GH polymorphism on economically important traits in addition to milk yield.

Published: November 2022

Rice tungro is one of the most economically damaging virus diseases in the Philippines, which is caused jointly by Rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV) and Rice tungro spherical virus (RTSV). The disease causes a significant effect on rice propagation and cultivation. This study aimed to determine the level of genetic diversity of RTBV coat protein gene sequences collected from tungro-hotspot areas in the Philippines and infer their phylogenetic relationships. A total of 144 RTBV coat protein gene sequences were analyzed from six provinces with 21 municipalities representing Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The highest percentage of RTBV detected was in Camarines Sur at 78% while Nueva Ecija had the least at 45%. Among the provinces, nucleotide diversity and number of segregating sites of RTBV were highest in Camarines Sur (π = 0.010797, S = 145) and lowest in Laguna (π = 0.006233, S = 67). Phylogenetic analysis revealed six divergent groups but did not completely reflect geographical origin while principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) resulted in three major groups: Laguna, Negros Occidental, and Nueva Ecija (Luzon and Visayas); and Camarines Sur and North Cotabato plus Isabela (Luzon and Mindanao). These results could infer genetic differentiation is relevant that disease severity variation could be observed including some breaking in resistance in some areas. There is a need to re-design breeding such as location-specific breeding for RTBV-resistant rice varieties that would consider genetic variation within and between location. Other molecular approaches such as the use of next-generation sequencing could be recommended to support the findings from this study.
Organizational Citizenship Behavior--A Study of the Telecom Industry

Cash Shortages and Black Money: A Look at India's 2016 Demonetization Effect, One Year Later
Authors: Dutta Amitabh , Kulkarni Kishore
Published: November 2022

The decision of demonetization announcement in November 2016, by the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi, was surprising to the general public and controversial to the economic thinkers. While the opponents of such a step have gone through actual calculation of the cost of demonetization in terms of potential GDP loss (2% as predicted by the former Prime Minister and Oxford Economist, Manmohan Singh) some supporters have pointed out the big benefits of this step. In recent days a talk of demonetization has become a “hot potato” that very few want to hold on to. Politically this has become a subject of acute contention and disagreement with some friends turning into foes just for the position they hold on this issue. In this paper we want to be economically eclectic, and attempt to analyze the real economic costs and benefits of this experiment by keeping away from politics. We intend to ask questions such as, why was this done? What were the consequences faced by the general public when this step was taken? Did we achieve the objectives? and What are the economic opportunity costs of doing this in future? Of course, we do not think that anyone can find all the answers, but the investigation itself is considered to be worthwhile.
8 - The Journey of Wamba dia Wamba and the Struggles for Emancipatory Politics in Africa
Authors: Campbell Horace G.
Published: November 2022

This tribute centralises Ernest Wamba dia Wamba’s commitment to committed scholarship, including his contributions to the challenges faced in the quest for popular democracy in Africa, in the emancipatory project. Tracing his journey from the village community with the remnants of the palaver and mbongi through the Dar es Salaam School, this homage highlights his contribution to the understanding of African philosophy. His immersion in the experiences of the Sovereign National Conference and his foray into the multi-sided struggles for a new mode of politics distinguished Wamba from intellectuals who pontificated about the struggles against militarism from the safety of seminar rooms. This celebration of his life echoes his call for the importance of re-dynamising African cultures in the process of restoring the humanity of Africans.

2 - Teacher Education, Common Purpose and the Forging of Multiple Publics in South Africa
Authors: Hoffmann Nimi , De Kock Tarryn , McDonald Zahraa , Sayed Yusuf
Published: November 2022

In an important scholarly intervention on African publics, Raufu Mustapha argues that the multiplicity of publics is not an obstacle but instead a creative resource that can be used to forge common purpose through public deliberation. However, he does not elaborate how common purpose operates and to what effect. In this article, we examine the dynamics of common purpose among student teachers in South Africa. Teachers inculcate the dispositions and habits of public deliberation in young people. How teachers are trained and where they teach is therefore crucial to understanding the constitution of publics. We analyse data from a cohort of student teachers regarding their reasons for becoming teachers, their future plans and their anxieties about their profession. We find little evidence of race and class differences among student teachers. Instead, the evidence suggests that student teachers shared a common purpose informed by hyper-particularistic notions of the public, which was not only raced and classed, but also limited to a narrow understanding of their own community. In light of this, we seek to explain how policy contributes to the conditions under which common purpose leads to segregated publics, closing off the generative possibilities of multiple publics.
4 - The Discursive Dynamics of Action-Research and Zimbabwean San People’s Production of Audio-Visual Stories
Authors: Mhiripiri Nhamo A. , Ureke Oswelled , Mubayiwa Mercy Mangwana
Published: November 2022

When conducting research with historically marginalised peoples, such as Zimbabwe’s autochthonous San, it is necessary to observe the most sensitive ethical and methodological practice. The San are a group of people living largely on the edges of the contemporary market economy in the whole of southern Africa, including Zimbabwe. The San of Zimbabwe often work as unskilled labourers for their Ndebele and Kalanga neighbours in rural areas of Matebeleland. Historically, the San’s identity and culture was denigrated in popular oral and media myths. This article presents a theoretical and methodological approach steeped in critical social sciences and cultural studies to restore the San image through making the San themselves the constructors of contemporary cultural texts about their way of life using modern film and video technologies. The San tell their stories after being trained in filming and editing techniques by researchers from Midlands State University. The negotiation of space and status for both the visiting researcher-trainers and host-student San youths makes a fascinating reflexive reading of researcher-researched power dynamics. What eventually emerges is a scholarship that is cognisant of both existential humanism and the need for respectful engagement by the researchers from university citadels with ordinary people who are often belittled and exploited.

1 - La révolution verte au Rwanda : au-delà de la dichotomie domination et émancipation
Authors: Bisoka Aymar Nyenyezi
Published: November 2022

Cet article étudie la résistance aux prescriptions dominantes des politiques agricoles développées en Afrique dans le cadre de la nouvelle révolution verte promue depuis le début des années 2000. L’article part de l’étude de cas du Rwanda, un pays considéré comme le success-story de cette révolution verte en Afrique. Il étudie la manière dont la résistance s’y manifeste par rapport aux prescriptions de cette politique agricole. L’article montre que les actes de résistance y sont nombreux et de plus en plus documentés par la littérature dans le domaine du développement rural post-génocide au Rwanda. Cependant, il montre aussi une limite : cette littérature se concentre sur la dichotomie domination/émancipation ou encore pouvoir/résistance par rapport à la norme. Or, cette vision dichotomique entre le pouvoir et la résistance ignore comment, dans la performance même de la norme, la vie des corps – que la norme assujettit – a une agencéité qui peut permettre de subvertir cette norme. Finalement, le cas du Rwanda permettra de montrer qu’en plein conformisme, consciente ou inconsciente de la norme, la résistance est possible grâce à un pouvoir que la vie des corps a sur les normes qui les assujettissent.

4 - The Use of Social Science Research by Environmental NGOs in Africa: Evidence from Morocco
Authors: El Morchid Brahim , Allah Hind Hourmat
Published: November 2022

The literature on the use of research is both rich and varied. Yet, little is known about the use of available social research by environmental NGOs in the African context. This paper aims at contributing to the debate on this issue from the perspective of Moroccan civil society. In order to achieve this objective, we have analysed the results of a survey conducted among a sample of Moroccan NGOs working in environmental protection. Overall, it seems that a relatively large proportion of surveyed environmental NGOs receive and understand social research findings, but the process remains incomplete, as the use of these findings tends to diminish during the adoption stage and especially during the decision-influencing stage. Moreover, this conclusion must be regarded cautiously, given the confusion that arises from the lack of distinction between research and consulting activities. Finally, PLS regression reveals that the use of social science research by Moroccan environmental NGOs is influenced by three main factors: research adaptation effort, relational proximity between researchers and users, and the NGO director’s employment status.

6 - Political Science and African Political Epistemologies: The Dialectics of Developmentalist vs. Emancipatory Approaches
Authors: Nasong’o Shadrack Wanjala
Published: November 2022

The premise of this article is that there has been a dialectical duality to the political science study of Africa, in terms of scholars and focus. The duality of scholars is represented by African scholars both on the continent and in the diaspora, on one hand, and Africanist scholars (non-African scholars who study Africa), on the other. Much of the political study of Africa has focused on the problematic of development. This political science research focus on the problematic of development gives epistemological priority to generating empirical political knowledge research. In contrast, research emphasis on the problematic of emancipation from oppression and exploitation prioritises an epistemological conception of knowledge that facilitates radical change as it grapples with evaluative moral-ethical issues. The purpose of the article is to examine the dialectical nexus of development- and emancipatory-focused political study of Africa, and the impact and relevance of the corpus of political science epistemologies thus generated. The central argument is that the relevance and implications of political science epistemologies generated via normative and critical approaches have been more profound than those generated via strictly positivist and empirical approaches.

Analisis Linguistik Wasathiyyah Dalam Al-Qur’an, Hadis Dan Aqwal Ulama
Authors: Syani Amrulloh Friendis , Ali Mustofa Wahyu
Published: November 2022

Wasathiyyah refers to spontaneous, unequivocal, or oblique reactions to anything. Mathematical centers are difficult to define and define, just as passive neutral behavior. Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, the term wasat has two meanings. To eradicate prejudice against wasathiyyah, there is no need to desire the pinnacle of goodness, which comprises knowledge, worship, and worldliness. In the Qur'an, the word wasat appears five times. There are many things that have food in between these two extremes. Each can be found in Al-Baqarah verses 143 and 238 , Al-Qur'an Al-Maidah 89 , Al-Qur'an Al-Qalam 28 , and Al-Qur'an Al-'Adiyat 4-5in the Qur'an .In these verses, the phrase wasath refers to the meanings of midway, just, and choice. Based on the suggested meaning behind this term from a linguistic standpoint, mufassirins and academics express their judgments concerning the features of wasathiyyah in the above verses.

This work sought to investigate how the teaching of Sciences in Rural Education was constituted within the scope of the Escola Família Agrícola (EFA) project, through the instruments of the Pedagogy of Alternation. The EFA is located in the municipality of São Lourenço do Piauí and operates on an alternating basis, students spend 15 days at school and 15 days in the community where they live, a routine that is inspired by the guiding principles of the Pedagogy of Alternation. As for the methodology, a qualitative-quantitative approach was developed, also counting on the documentary and ethnographic method. Materials were consulted, including official documents that contribute to the understanding of the functioning of the EFA. In the field data collection, a version was used as a basic instrument for the Scientific Literacy Test (TACB), applied to students. For the monitors, in addition to the TACB, a semi-structured form was used to outline their profile. The results revealed that, of the 38 students in the 3rd year of the Integrated High School Technical Course in Agriculture and Animal Science, only 11 (28,9%) could be considered scientifically literate, while 27 (71,1%) didn´t reach the minimum number of hits in the three axes. The research carried out in this work indicated that the students´ results were unsatisfactory in relation to the Simplified Basic Scientific Literacy (TACB-S), which implies the quality of science teaching in this EFA.

Der Beitrag beleuchtet den Einsatz digitaler worker voice tools in globalen Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken (global value networks, GVNs) und diskutiert die Folgen für Arbeiter*innen im Globalen Süden. Anhand einer quantifizierenden Auswertung der Webseiten von digitalen Kommunikations- und Partizipationstools sowie semi-strukturierten Interviews geben die Autor*innen zunächst einen allgemeinen empirischen Überblick über das schnell wachsende Feld dieser digitalen Tools. In der Analyse zeigen sie im Anschluss, dass sich nicht einfach ein Feld neuer digitaler Anwendungen entwickelt, die in bestehende Monitoringverfahren integriert werden, sondern dass es durchaus Unterschiede in der Struktur, dem Aufbau, der Zielsetzung und Verwendung zwischen diesen Tools gibt. Eine zentrale Unterscheidung lässt sich dabei zwischen profitorientierten und gemeinnützigen Tools treffen, deren Logik auch von einer unterschiedlichen Entstehungsgeschichte geprägt wird. Dies hat wiederum auch einen Einfluss darauf, ob diese Tools überhaupt Ansätze für Mobilisierung, Organisierung und Teilhabe von Arbeiter*innen bieten.
Betriebliche Weiterbildung in der Covid-19-Krise
Authors: Bellmann Lutz , König Corinna , Leber Ute
Published: November 2022

Der Aufwärtstrend beim betrieblichen Weiterbildungsangebot wurde bereits in der Großen Rezession 2008 / 09 unterbrochen, hat sich danach jedoch deutlich erholt. Während der Covid-19-Pandemie kam es erneut zu neuen und noch massiveren Einbrüchen. Die Auswertungen des IAB-Betriebspanels in diesem Beitrag zeigen, dass das betriebliche Weiterbildungsangebot im Jahr 2020 um 20 Prozentpunkte zurückgegangen und mit 35 % auf den niedrigsten Stand seit über 20 Jahren gesunken ist. Auch 2021 ist kein erneuter Aufwärtstrend festzustellen. Weitere Einsichten bieten die Daten der IAB-Erhebung „Betriebe in der Covid-19-Krise“, die Auskunft geben, aus welchen Gründen geplante Weiterbildungsangebote abgesagt wurden und inwieweit Formen wie E-Learning in der Krise genutzt wurden. Die multivariaten Analysen zeigen, dass Faktoren wie die konkrete Krisenbetroffenheit der Betriebe, ihr jeweiliger Wirtschaftszweig, die Betriebsgröße sowie die institutionelle Ausgestaltung der Weiterbildung im Betrieb im Zusammenhang mit der Qualifizierung während der Krise stehen.
The Transposition into National Law of the Margin of Discretion in the Grounds for Optional Non-execution of the European Arrest Warrant – A Danish Example
Authors: Lucas Sandra
Published: November 2022

In this article, I analyse and discuss the demands of the Court of Justice of the EU to the transposition into domestic law of the grounds for optional non-execution in Articles 4 and 4a of Council Framework Decision 2002/584 on the European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States (2002/584/JHA). In the Danish Extradition Act, three of the grounds for optional non-execution have been transposed as mandatory, i.e., if the conditions as described in these provisions apply, execution of the European arrest warrant must be refused. Based on the case-law of the Court of Justice of the EU, I argue that this transposition runs counter to the purpose of 2002/584/JHA, since it denies the national judicial authorities a margin of discretion when deciding on whether or not to surrender a requested person, the only possible exception being the transposition of the rule of dual criminality, which is framed differently from the other grounds for non-execution in Article 4.
Preventive Custodial Measures in Portuguese Law
Authors: Antunes Maria João , Caeiro Pedro
Published: November 2022

This article addresses the preventive custodial measures provided for by Portuguese law. First, the authors describe penal sanctions, with a special focus on the ‘relatively indeterminate sentence’, which can be regarded as a hybrid between punishment and security measures, drafted by the legislator as a tool to control individuals who have offended before and are likely to re-offend. In the second place, the authors analyse the application of custodial security measures to offenders who, despite being criminally liable, suffer from a mental illness which significantly diminishes their ability to understand the unlawful nature of their acts and are therefore prone to offend again. Finally, the authors look at the preventive detention of suspects under certain circumstances, and the compulsory internment of psychiatric patients.
Wohlgeordnetes Mobilitätsrecht im Mehrebenensystem
Authors: Balland Emmanuelle
Published: November 2022

In light of the climate emergency, urban transport planning, which has so far focused on the automobile, needs to be redesigned in order to achieve greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and to initiate the transition to climate neutrality in a timely manner.

In her book, Emmanuelle Balland examines possible solutions for a federal law on cross-sectoral urban transport planning that makes urban transport efficient and climate-friendly. The book examines international, European and national strategies, but above all the legal provisions for such planning in France and Berlin.
Pancreatitis with a Normal Serum Lipase, a Rare Post-esophagogastroduodenoscopy Complication: A Case Report
Authors: Sturlis Molly , McGrane Karen
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Pancreatitis after esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is not a common occurrence, particularly in the setting of a normal serum lipase. The lack of commonality may delay diagnosis and treatment in some patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with abdominal pain after an otherwise uncomplicated procedure.

Case Report: A patient with a history of gastroesophageal reflux disease presented to the ED with a complaint of abdominal pain and fever three days after an uncomplicated EGD. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with pancreatitis after a computed tomography showed pancreatic head inflammation, despite having a normal serum lipase. There were no other identified risk factors for pancreatitis in this case.

Conclusion: This case serves to bring awareness to this potential procedural complication and the possibility of pancreatitis with a normal serum lipase.

Authors: Ashworth Henry , Sanders Noah , Mantuani Daniel , Nagdev Arun
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Severe breakthrough pain is a common occurrence in patients with cancer and is responsible for thousands of emergency department (ED) visits each year. While opioids are the current mainstay of treatment, they have multiple limitations including inadequate control for a quarter of patients with cancer. The ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been used in the ED to effectively treat pain for pathologies such as acute pancreatitis, since it provides somatic and visceral analgesia.

Case Report: In this case report we describe the use of an ESPB to treat breakthrough pain safely and effectively in a 54-year-old female with a history of metastatic colon cancer.

Conclusion: The ESPB may have utility in addressing well documented disparities in pain treatment in the ED, but additional research is needed to understand side effects, duration of pain control, and clinical outcomes of the ESPB.
19-Year-Old with Sudden Onset Left Testicular Pain
Authors: Small Elan , Ashenburg Nicholas , Schertzer Kimberly
Published: November 2022

Case Presentation: A previously healthy 19-year-old man presented to the emergency department with severe, sudden onset of left testicular pain. Physical exam revealed a left high-riding, horizontally oriented testicle without cremasteric reflex. Point-of-care ultrasound was used to confirm the diagnosis of testicular torsion, as well as to guide manual detorsion, verifying return of blood flow after reduction.

Discussion: Testicular torsion is a urologic emergency in which testicular viability is time dependent. Point-of-care ultrasound can be an important and helpful tool to not only confirm suspicion but help guide adequacy of blood flow return after manual detorsion in conjunction with comprehensive ultrasound.

Published: November 2022

Background: The prolonged persistence of viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and the difficulty in differentiating between infectious virus and noninfectious viral RNA have impeded the use of current molecular diagnostic tests as a decision tool in quarantine termination. The performance of new methods to detect surrogate viability markers, such as subgenomic RNAs (sgRNAs), has been discussed, and numerous important questions are still needed to be addressed before broad implementation. Objectives: This study aimed to primarily evaluate the performance of SYBR green quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) targeting N and E sgRNAs as a surrogate of viability markers. Methods: This pilot study was carried out to detect genomic RNAs (gRNAs) and sgRNAs using RT-qPCR in cell culture infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and nasopharyngeal swabbing samples from COVID-19 patients, and the results were compared to viral culture as a gold standard method for infectious virus detection. The diagnostic parameters and Cohen’s Kappa correlation index were then analyzed. Results: E subgenomic RNA detection was the most reliable predictor for actively replicating the virus as it showed the highest value of all diagnostic parameters with a good correlation with viral cultivation. The lowest cycle threshold value of gRNAs and sgN detection become undetectable by sgE within the range of 23 - 26. Conclusion: Using a suitable sgRNA type was important for test accuracy. The findings suggested E sgRNA detection as a promising surrogate approach to indicate a truly active viral infection, and when performed with a low-cost molecular test of SYBR green-based assay, it could support huge demands for routine analysis.

Background: Chest computed tomography (CT) scan is one of the most common tools used for the diagnosis of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). While segmentation of COVID-19 lung lesions by radiologists can be time-consuming, the application of advanced deep learning techniques for automated segmentation can be a promising step toward the management of this infection and similar diseases in the future. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the performance and generalizability of deep learning-based models for the automated segmentation of COVID-19 lung lesions. Patients and Methods: Four datasets (2 private and 2 public) were used in this study. The first and second private datasets included 297 (147 healthy and 150 COVID-19 cases) and 82 COVID-19 subjects. The public datasets included the COVID19-P20 (20 COVID-19 cases from 2 centers) and the MosMedData datasets (50 COVID-19 patients from a single center). Model comparisons were made based on the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and area under the curve (AUC). The predicted CT severity scores by the model were compared with those of radiologists by measuring the Pearson’s correlation coefficients (PCC). Also, DSC was used to compare the inter-rater agreement of the model and expert against that of 2 experts on an unseen dataset. Finally, the generalizability of the model was evaluated, and a simple calibration strategy was proposed. Results: The VGG16-UNet model showed the best performance across both private datasets, with a DSC of 84.23% ± 1.73% on the first private dataset and 56.61% ± 1.48% on the second private dataset. Similar results were obtained on public datasets, with a DSC of 60.10% ± 2.34% on the COVID19-P20 dataset and 66.28% ± 2.80% on a combined dataset of COVID19-P20 and MosMedData. The predicted CT severity scores of the model were compared against those of radiologists and were found to be 0.89 and 0.85 on the first private dataset and 0.77 and 0.74 on the second private dataset for the right and left lungs, respectively. Moreover, the model trained on the first private dataset was examined on the second private dataset and compared against the radiologist, which revealed a performance gap of 5.74% based on DSCs. A calibration strategy was employed to reduce this gap to 0.53%. Conclusion: The results demonstrated the potential of the proposed model in localizing COVID-19 lesions on CT scans across multiple datasets; its accuracy competed with the radiologists and could assist them in diagnostic and treatment procedures. The effect of model calibration on the performance of an unseen dataset was also reported, increasing the DSC by more than 5%.
