Authors: ek ipek , LU Saim , ahin ibrahim
Published: February 2023

Aim: The goal of this study is to compare the performances of Logistic Regression (LR), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Decision Tree models, which are machine learning classification methods, in the diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and to determine the most successful method. It is also the examination of risk factors affecting Type 2 DM using these models.
Method: The study's data was collected from patients who visited the Diabetes and Thyroid polyclinic at the Inonu University Faculty of Medicine Turgut Ozal Medical Center, Department of Internal Medicine. The k-Nearest Neighbor algorithm, which is one of the missing value assignment methods, was used to eliminate the problems related to missing values. Sensitivity, accuracy, precision, specificity, AUC F1-score, and classification error were used as performance evaluation criteria. Evolutionary algorithm parameter optimization method was used to optimize the parameters of the ANN model. Missing value assignment, modeling and parameter optimization were done with Rapidminer Studio Free version 8.1.
Results: Among the three methods applied in the diagnosis of Type 2 DM, the ANN gave the best classification performance. The accuracy, sensitivity, selectivity, precision, F1-score, AUC and classification error values obtained from this method are respectively; 98.94%, 100%, 97.73%, 98.04%, 99.01%, 0.978 and 1.06. For the ANN method, the importance values of the gender, long-term drug use, family history, concomitant disease, cortisone use, stress factor, high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, heart disease, exercise status, carbohydrate use, alcohol consumption, vegetable use, meat use, age, weight, height, starting age, daily bread consumption, LDL, HDL, Total Cholesterol, Triglyceride, Fasting blood sugar the importance values of independent variables are respectively; 0.017, 0.009, 0.013, 0.017, 0.008, 0.016, 0.008, 0.006, 0.053, 0.024, 0.023, 0.040, 0.007, 0.020, 0.007, 0.046, 0.083, 0.049, 0.024, 0.066, 0.084, 0.083, 0.020, 0.031, 0.244.
Conclusion: According to the performance criteria obtained from the three classification models used to predict Type 2 DM; it has been found that the best classification performance belongs to the ANN model. According to the ANN method, the three most important risk factors that may cause Type 2 DM were found to be fasting blood glucose, LDL, and HDL, respectively.
Collaborations in cancer care
Authors:   , de Swart Merijn Elise
Published: February 2023

This thesis entitled ‘Collaborations in cancer care – contemporary approach toward comprehensive cancer networks’ aims to explore and optimize collaborations in transmural cancer care, first by examining the role of time intervals to treatment and second by establishing and advancing referrals, mainly focused on two cancer (sub)types; colorectal liver metastases and glioblastoma.

The timing of glioblastoma treatment varies considerably in clinical practice. Regarding to neurosurgery, with current decision-making, initial presentation at the outpatient clinic, higher preoperative performance status, and smaller tumor volume are risk factors for delayed neurosurgery. The timing of glioblastoma surgery may be associated with postoperative performance improvements and survival. Timely glioblastoma surgery appears to have a favorable impact on survival in patients with tumor volumes greater than 50 mL or seizure as the only preoperative symptom. Regarding to (chemo)radiotherapy, larger extent of resection, university affiliation, and more recent year of treatment are risk factors for delayed start of this treatment. Regarding to adjuvant chemotherapy, higher postoperative performance status is a risk factor for delayed initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy. Therefore, patients should undergo neurosurgery as soon as feasible, with a maximum acceptable time interval of 4 weeks after careful patient’s triage, and radiotherapy should neither be forced nor delayed, but rather start timely as soon as the patient has recovered from surgery.

Complex cancer care is increasingly concentrated in specialized and academic hospitals. The extent of concentration of care varies between cancer pathways, with rare tumors more likely to be already concentrated. With concentration of care, patients are referred between hospitals. The current lack of digital access to medical records across hospitals leads to loss of patient information in the majority of oncological referrals. In addition, the distribution of care among multiple hospitals impedes between-hospital consultation, resulting in undertreatment, delayed referrals and initiation of treatment, and needless referrals. Improvement of patient information exchange and referral management by telehealth innovations could contribute to optimize oncological referrals. Digital consultation of multidisciplinary expert or triage panels are feasible approaches to provide non-specialized hospitals with tumor-specific expertise for appropriate referral management. Collaboration between healthcare providers among hospitals in regional cancer networks could contribute to the continuity of transmural oncological care.
Regulation of critical brain dynamics and its functional implications
Authors:   , Avrămiea Arthur-Ervin
Published: February 2023

Evidence of criticality at various levels of neuronal organization has accumulated over the past 2 decades. However, little is known of how criticality affects brain function, whether the critical state is always optimal for information processing, and whether the brain can change its operating point with regards to criticality so as to accommodate varying information processing requirements. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to elucidate mechanisms that regulate brain criticality and to understand their impact on local and global information processing. We empirically validated that the brain can control the level of criticality via neuromodulation, with implications on perception. Then, we relied on computational modeling to gain full control on the parameters that determine criticality, and tested the implications of the level of criticality on two theories of brain function. Last, since excitation/inhibition balance is known to be a crucial determinant of criticality, which can vary across individuals, but also within subjects across time with neuromodulation, we developed a method to non-invasively estimate the functional E/I ratio.

Published: February 2023

In this thesis hypergranulation tissue in both the breast after breast implant surgery, as well as in the skin (scar formation) is explored. The histological composition of capsular contracture after breast implant surgery and the role of silicone in this tissue is investigated in multiple papers. Furthermore, the classification used to grade capsular contracture complaints is evaluated. In the second part, the role the systemic immune system has in hypertrophic scarring is examined, and how to use these differences to enable prognostic tools.
Co-data learning
Authors:   , van Nee Mirrelijn Meander
Published: February 2023

Clinicians often research complex traits in which many variables may be involved in the process underlying the disease. Nowadays, with the advent of DNA sequencing techniques, clinical studies regularly research high‐dimensional data, in which the number of variables even far exceeds the number of samples. Generic research goals are to predict certain outcomes or to select variables, using the high-dimensional data possibly in addition to clinical variables like age and sex. Examples in cancer genomics are to diagnose cancer, classify cancer type and predict survival time based on gene expression data, or to find few genes that may predict these outcomes well. While the human genome contains around 20.000 genes, clinical studies usually only include measurements for around 100 patients. This limited amount of information makes it hard to find the “right” selection or combination of variables from the vast space of options.
Luckily, more prior information on the variables is often available in the form of complementary data, or co-data, e.g. from public repositories or derived from domain knowledge. Co‐data may vary in type. Genes, for example, may be grouped in non‐overlapping groups for chromosomes, overlapping groups for pathways, hierarchical groups for gene ontology or assigned a continuous summary statistic derived from a similar study. We would like to learn from co‐data to improve prediction and variable selection.
This dissertation presents three statistical methods and software for co‐data learning. We consider co‐data learnt penalised generalised linear and Cox survival models for the outcome. The penalties on the variables are informed by the co‐data, such that variables for more important co‐data are penalised less. For example, some biological functions may be more important than others, such that genes corresponding to these biological functions are ideally penalised relatively less. The penalty parameters are related to prior parameters for a prior distribution on the variables, which are estimated with an empirical Bayes approach. The presented methods differ in the type of co‐data and penalty or prior that may be used.
The Caring Class
Authors:   , Duijs Saskia Elise
Published: February 2023

SHORT SUMMARY
The health of paid care workers in long-term care is under pressure, but not for all care workers alike (chapter 1 and 2). Therefore, this thesis addresses health inequities among paid care workers.

This thesis presents several participatory studies which were conducted by the author, together with paid care workers and a professional photographer. These studies unravel the health strategies of women (chapter 3) and men (chapter 4) working in long-term care and the health issues of self-employed care workers (chapter 5) before and during (chapter 6) the COVID-19 pandemic.

All studies were done from a critical gender, diversity-sensitive and intersectional perspective. They present insights for care workers, occupational health professionals, HRM professionals and policy makers in long-term care. This thesis is also relevant for Participatory Health Researchers (PHR) who aim to make their research more critical and diversity-sensitive, as it explores the relevance of intersectionality for PHR (chapter 7 and 8).

A series of portraits ‘What You Don’t See’, made by photographer Janine Schrijver in co-creation with care workers and the author, is part of the research presented in this thesis (chapter 9). These portraits address urgent health issues that often remain invisible, including racism and poverty, which squeezes paid care workers out of the organizations into self-employment.

Concerns about the health of paid care workers are a persistent societal issue in the Netherlands. They have become increasingly pressing as more and more paid care workers find themselves in precarious positions, no longer able to sustain their own health or support themselves financially.

Therefore, this thesis explores the economic, societal and political forces that contribute to the precarization of paid care workers in the Netherlands (chapter 10). Protecting, maintaining and repairing the health of paid care workers is not just an issue of care workers or employers. It is a societal issue and shaped by political choices
Between Problematisation and Invisibilisation
Authors:   , Franco Rébecca Suzanne
Published: February 2023

This dissertation researches how and why interracialised intimacies between the white French population and (post)colonial migrants from the African continent were regulated during and after the decolonisation of French departments and territories on the African continent (1956-1979). Examining the regulation of different types of interracialised intimacies in the postcolonial French metropolitan context allows for a contextualised and historicised analysis of how and why the French government and society constructed and protected racial boundaries, at their intersection with class, gender and sexuality. Primarily based on critical archival research and complemented by testimonial biographies and interviews with individuals and couples about their interracialised relationships, this dissertation shows how interracialised intimacies were not regulated through direct and explicit legislation and regulation per se, but rather, by turning certain intimacies into problems by defining, categorising and regulating them as such. This justified, and was motivated by, the administration’s desire to exclude postcolonial migrants from the French community.
Enhancing social science learning with augmented reality for primary students in a CLIL context
Authors: Martínez Amaia Aguirregoitia , García Irene Núñez
Published: February 2023

Learning content through a second language is a challenging task for both students and teachers. Previous research has shown that information and communication technologies (ICT) such as Augmented Reality (AR) can facilitate content learning. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using Augmented Reality (AR) technology in teaching Social Science in a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) context for primary education students. The study was conducted with sixth-year primary students in a state-subsidized school in Bizkaia, Spain. Several sessions using AR to work on content about economic sectors have been implemented. Additionally,  some questionnaires based on previous experiences have been designed to gather data on students' current use of technology along with students’ and teachers’ opinions on using AR as a teaching tool after the sessions.  Results showed a positive impact on student learning outcomes since after the brief AR intervention students improved significantly in most of the activities and, particularly, in vocabulary-related and content comprehension activities. Both students and teachers expressed favourable opinions towards using AR in the classroom.

In the Land of Boys: A Primary Mapping of Boys’ Territory in Swedish Children’s and Young Adult Literature

In »Boy Culture: Middle-Class Boyhood in Nineteenth-Century America« the historian E. Anthony Rotundo explores a »free nation« of boys; a distinct cultural world with its own rituals and values, set in its own boundaries and often free from adult intervention. In my article I argue that a similar, fictional boy’s nation can be found in Swedish literature for children and young adults, especially in boy’s books of an earlier date. In this first attempt to map this literary version of the boyhood territory, I concentrate on watery domains (such as the strip of shore and the lake), the forest, and the streets and backyards of the city. I also discuss the range of activities connected to the different areas of the boy land in terms of masculinity. Furthermore, I examine the alien (indoor) territories: the domestic world of women, and school—the place where the confrontation between boy culture and male authority often takes place. In the conclusion I discuss the boy land in more contemporary literature, and suggest that the landscapes has changed, that the inhabitants are getting younger, and that its borders and rituals are being challenged by a variety of girl characters— but that the concept of a boyhood territory is still a going concern.
Politikern som politikerföraktare
Authors: Ullén Magnus
Published: February 2023

The Politician as Distruster of Politicians. Thomas Bodström’s The Runaway and the Rhetorical Situation.

This article proposes that we view literary texts as a special case of what American rhetorician Lloyd F. Bitzer calls the rhetorical situation. Just as rhetoricians have situated the speech within the rhetorical situation, the literary text may productively be situated within what I call the literary situation. Literature thus conceived could be described as a process in which kairos – the opportunity to exploit the circumstances of the moment – is transferred from the writer to the reader.

That such a theoretical point of departure provides us with a better opportunity to investigate the ideological dimension of literature is demonstrated through a reading of Rymmaren (The Runaway), the first novel by former Swedish Minister for Justice, Thomas Bodström. A political thriller largely set in the Governmental Offices, it was dismissed by critics as lacking literary value but sold well nevertheless. The novel is thus a concrete example of how ethos has gained importance at the expense of logos in contemporary literature. Its attraction does not depend upon how well Bodström writes, but upon who he is: as former minister, he can claim to provide an inside view of the scenes from the political environment he depicts. While the novel shows Bodström being adept at using fiction for political purposes, it also exposes an ideological emptiness which suggests that politics in the 21st century has become a matter of simulation rather than representation.
Lennart Sjögrens »Bernt Notke«
Authors: Hultsberg Peter
Published: February 2023

An interartial analysis of Lennart Sjögren’s poem »Bernt Notke«

A general feature in Lennart Sjögren’s poetry is that man interacts with animals and becomes a conversation partner with these against a nature backdrop. In the poem »Bernt Notke«, in which the 15th century North German sculptor Bernt Notke’s triumphal crucifix provides the foundation, the animals and nature are absent. The human being and her history are exclusively in focus. Few of Lennart Sjögren’s interpreters have to any appreciable extent acknowledged the poem »Bernt Notke«. However, a quote from this poem has come to appear as characteristic for the poet: »Jag drömmer / om en allians mellan det fromma och köttsliga / de skimriga mysterierna och det praktiska «. (Köttets hus, 1971).

Lennart Sjögren contributes to a new way of using ekphrasis in writing poetry. W.J.T. Mitchell’s note is well suited to exemplify this orientation. Mitchell writes:

The »working through« of ekphrasis and the other, then, is more like a triangular relationship than a binary one; its social structure cannot be grasped fully as a phenomenological encounter of subject and object, but must be pictured as a ménage à trois in which the relations of self and other, text and image, are triply inscribed. If ekphrasis typically expresses a desire for a visual object (whether to possess or praise), it is also typically an offering of this expression as a gift to the reader.

The poem »Bernt Notke« is such a gift to the reader. However, this gift demands a service in return. The educational task wherein Sjögren with his transformation of the altar piece offers his services is not only a concern of the poet, but also to embrace the reader’s commitment. Disloyal to the sensuality of the people of history, but also to the piety ideal of the church, Sjögren’s poem seeks to free the altar piece from dogmatic fetters. The ekphrasis makes such an appeal possible. When Sjögren depicts what he observes, he uses his and others’ knowledge of Bernt Notke’s time and in this amalgamation he creates a new context for this piece of art in another genre. It is the differences more than the similarities that give the writer the possibility of entering the work of art, but which also for the same reasons open doors for the reader of the poem to become part of the allegory where people of different eras – their thoughts and doings – penetrate each other.
Dante och blickens poetik.
Authors: Azar Robert
Published: February 2023

Dante and the poetics of vision

Dante’s Vita Nuova is not only an account of a young man struggling for love; it is also a recollection of a series of dreams or visions, which accordingly have a more profound sense. In the Divine Comedy, Dante appears as the visionary who after having seen Heaven and Hell is striving to forward his vision to whom it may concern. His work is marked by the desire to transcribe images into words, and this gives us the opportunity to study the rhetorical procedures which bestow legitimacy unto a work of art.
Systems Changes Learning: Recasting and Reifying Rhythmic Shifts for Doing, Alongside Thinking and Making
Authors: Ing David
Published: February 2023

Entering 2023, the Systems Changes Learning Circle completed in its fourth year of 10-year journey on "Rethinking Systems Thinking". In a contextural action learning approach, the Circle has elevated rhythmic shifts as the feature that both resonates with practitioners in the field, and fits with a post-colonial philosophy of science bridging classical Chinese thought with Western professional practices. This multiparadigm inquiry recasts and reifies the activities of doing (praxis), thinking (theoria) and making (poiesis). The facility with this approach is deepened through three levels: (i) educating of attention, orienting novices towards contrasting modes of thought; (ii) learning for co-relating, lending a way for practitioners to critically appreciate their situations, and (iii) learning for articulating, aiding mentors to guide groups productively through mutual learning style.
Evaluating the Impact of Preconditions for Systemic Human and Non-human Communities
Authors: Nousala Susu
Published: February 2023

This paper discusses and examines the concept of preconditions and their possible impact on any systemic supporting structures related to human and non-human ecological communities. Preconditions are defined and discussed in this work as phenomena that exist, seen or unseen, as part of the initial stages of a developing community system (for both human and non-human). Recent evaluations of cases and models have highlighted how preconditions may enhance or weaken developing support structures of any ecological community system. These observations and outcomes were based on several previous cases, with targeted literature reviews and field work. The research spans across several different disciplines, with a common emergent thread, based on insights afforded by an interdisciplinary approach. The impact of preconditions within systems of sustainable ecological community structures, are essentially virtual with emergent physical properties and outcomes. The practical and ecological community implications of this work lie in the provision of better insights into the how, why, and what are the existing, dynamic conditions towards sustained, future community development. The impact on dynamic community evolution involves countless dynamic relationships. This work presents reviews, based on evaluations on a range of approaches to capture a sense of what occurs within these complex environments and the abilities we need to visualize and communicate these actions. These virtual, and ultimately physical, transitional states are very relevant when considering the impact of what are essentially, bottom-up relationships. This work highlights the importance and impact of preconditions within an ecological community, and the dynamics involved with achieving a sustained state or “equilibrium”, whilst attempting to absorb new conditions that the community may be encountering.

DES-MEMÓRIAS DE UM MENINO sem passado
Authors: CARLA DE SALLES CUNHA ROJAS FRANCINE , Cézar Nolasco Edgar
Published: February 2023

O presente ensaio objetiva desenvolver o conceito de des-memória a partir do primeiro volume de memórias do crítico literário brasileiro Silviano Santiago, Menino sem passado (2021). Nesse volume, Santiago escreve sobre a primeira parte de sua vida, 1936 – 1948, na interiorana Formiga (MG), o convívio com a tradicional família mineira, a perda da mãe, a vinda da madrasta, a conturbada relação com o pai, as primeiras leituras realizadas em revistas de quadrinhos e o cinema. O ambiente familiar, nesse primeiro momento, é o prisma a partir do qual o crítico escreve e que se desdobra para um contexto mais amplo, o contexto histórico e político nacional. Dessa forma, a escrita ensaística da memória conclama o menino que vivia na interiorana Formiga e que alçava as primeiras letras através da leitura de hqs, o voraz leitor e jovem universitário boêmio e o experiente e renomado professor universitário na área de Literatura. O ensaio estrutura-se a partir de chaves de leituras disponibilizadas por Silviano Santiago ao longo do livro e que reunidas constroem o que chamamos de des-memória. Tal conceito emerge como uma possibilidade outra de escrita memorialística que se contrapõe ao modelo tradicional, isso porque o escritor não segue uma linha temporal reta, mas um texto que evoca idas e vindas da vida do escritor. Para desenvolver o conceito de des-memória, dialogaremos com André Botelho, em “Penetrável esquecimento: estudo para retrato inacabado de Silviano Santiago” (2021), Christina Queiroz, em “Silviano Santiago: o literato cosmopolita” (2020) e Eneida Maria de Souza, em Janelas Indiscretas: ensaios de Crítica Biográfica (2011).
Cadernos de Estudos Culturais - Crítica Biográfica Fronteiriça

Published: February 2023

O número 25 dos CADERNOS DE ESTUDOS CULTURAIS, a ser publicado até Setembro de 2021, tem como temática a Crítica Biográfica Fronteiriça. A temática proposta enseja uma discussão conceitual crítica acerca do que se entende por “Crítica biográfica fronteiriça”, por entender que tal proposição crítica engloba uma teorização descolonial que, a seu modo, trata de conceitos e escolhas caros aos lugares periféricos, a exemplo de “biolócus”, “pensamento próprio”, “escrever o que se quer”, “lugares como paisagens biográficas”, “desrazão”, “corporalidades”, “estar-sendo”, “com-vivialidade”, “desprendimento”, entre outros. Ao propor essa temática, de teor tão inovador quanto desafiador para todos os intelectuais atuais, os CADERNOS assumem, definitivamente, seu lugar enquanto um periódico que, há mais de dez anos (2009-2021), trata de uma discussão conceitual que tem ajudado a todos a nos aproximar de questões de ordem política, teórica e cultural que diferenciam a diversalidade chamada América Latina. Espera-se, por conseguinte, que com a proposta da Crítica Biográfica Fronteiriça (2021.1) os CADERNOS não apenas ratifiquem suas escolhas temáticas como mostram todos os volumes anteriores, como também proporcionem um espaço a mais para aqueles intelectuais que não se acostumaram em ficar simplesmente repetindo e endossando teorias advindas dos grandes centros hegemônicos do mundo globalizado para produzir. Nesse sentido, a rubrica de “Crítica biográfica fronteiriça” pode propiciar a todos um espaço escavado na exterioridade para que se possa compreender os mundos a partir de epistemologias outras que não apenas a moderna.

Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre a Revolta da Vacina e um estudo netnográfico nas redes sociais Twitter, Instagram e Facebook, com base em pesquisa de palavras-chave por algoritmos vinculados às hashtags sobre o período pandêmico de COVID-19, no decorrer do ano de 2020.
O Brasil de Bolsonaro
Authors: Zanetti Valeria , Lalli Rafael
Published: February 2023

Este artigo propõe algumas reflexões acerca dos conceitos de identidade nacional e nacionalismo no Brasil do governo de Jair Bolsonaro. Busca-se compreender as noções de “identidade” e “nação” do bolsonarismo e como elas se projetam na prática. Para tal, foram estudados a proposta de plano de governo apresentada pela chapa bolsonarista nas eleições de 2018 e as falas de membros do gabinete de Bolsonaro proferidas durante a reunião ministerial de 22 de abril de 2020. Esses dados foram analisados à luz do processo histórico de formação do Brasil e de conceitos como “identidade”, “nação”, “Estado-nação”, “nacionalismo”, “raça” e “racismo estrutural” nas teorias dos filósofos Zygmunt Bauman e Silvio Luiz de Almeida. Observou-se que o nacionalismo bolsonarista internaliza não só as contradições ideológicas advindas da ordem global neoliberal vigente como acentua, na prática, o domínio das relações históricas permeadas pelas desigualdades sociais.

Microservices are the atom network services that cloud architectures provide. Microservices, in contrast to virtual machines, can be implemented as tiny resource footprint programmer such as container or even lower as unkennels. Field Programmable Arrays (FPGA) boards were first used in servers to effectively offload the execution of computation-intensive applications. FPGAs are increasingly regarded as processing resources that meet cloud standards. FPGAs, however, cannot be used to run several microservices simultaneously in today's cloud data centers.

Political tyranny is one of the dangerous things that has spread in recent decades, and it is the worst type of political administration and the most dangerous to humans, delaying urbanization, tearing nations apart, canceling politics, usurping freedoms and violating the most basic principles of human rights, and seizing power by an individual or a group of individuals who control public affairs. Without submitting to a constitution or law and without the participation of the governed or looking at their opinion, tyranny, then, with its strict methods and corrupt opinions, kills the motivations and aspirations of individuals and turns society into a lifeless corpse that is punished, devoured by wolves, and threatened by strangers. This research came to give an idea of what political tyranny is and what it is. What are its limits, what are the implications of it, and what are its contemporary images. The research represents a clear picture of this disease that is spread in the countries of the world and that it is a dangerous disease that eradicates everything from dry under pretexts and excuses. The research included some contemporary images of political tyranny. The research focused on addressing a vital and fundamental issue in our time Many people suffer from it. The research consists of an introduction, an introduction, and four demands, with a conclusion, conclusions, and a list of sources and references.
Institutional determinants of environmental performance
Authors: Reichel Richard
Published: February 2023

This note examines the impact of three institutional factors on environmental performance and carbon intensity of gross domestic product (GDP) for a cross-section sample of 154 countries. The institutional factors are democratization, market orientation of the economy, and prevalence of corruption. Per capita income is generally used as a control variable. As the distribution of some of the variables is highly skewed, we apply several robust regression methods, in comparison to ordinary least squares (OLS). Results differ depending on the estimation method, but generally per capita income is negatively related to carbon intensity but positively correlated with environmental performance. The higher the degree of democratization, the better the state of the environment and the lower the carbon intensity. Market orientation of the economy is ambiguous at first sight, but if an interaction variable with the democracy index is applied, the effect is quite large and highly significant. In this case, the impact of the corruption variable fades. Sensitivity analyses reveal, that introducing a democratic market economy is the most promising strategy to promote environmental performance as well as to cut the carbon emission intensity.

Số liệu mưa lưới, sản phẩm ước tính mưa từ vệ tinh kết hợp với giá trị mưa từ mô hình số trị và số liệu mưa thực đo mặt đất đang ngày càng phát triển do khắc phục được nhiều yếu điểm của mưa mặt đất. Mưa lưới có phân giải không gian, thời gian cao, bao phủ nhiều vùng rộng lớn, tần suất lên đến 30 phút một số liệu và phần nhiều cung cấp miễn phí, do đó có tính ứng dụng rất cao. Các sản phẩm mưa lưới dù sử dụng cùng một loại cảm biến, nhưng áp dụng thuật toán khác nhau để xử lý số liệu và hiệu chỉnh với các số liệu đo mưa khác nên có sự khác biệt khá lớn. Nghiên cứu này xem xét dữ liệu mưa giờ từ 04 nguồn gồm mưa GPM, GSMaP, PERSIANN-CCS và ERA5-Land cung cấp cho khu vực thành phố Hà Tĩnh để đánh giá chất lượng và khả năng ứng dụng thực tế. Bốn trận mưa được sử dụng để đánh giá với mưa giờ thực đo tại trạm khí tượng Hà Tĩnh. Các chỉ số thống kê RMSE, R2, PBIAs, POD, FAR và CSI được sử dụng để đánh giá so sánh. Kết quả cho thấy nhìn chung cả 4 dữ liệu mưa đều có chất lượng tốt, PERSIANN-CCS có tương quan cao nhất với mưa quan trắc mặt đất, chỉ số sai số quân phương trung bình tốt nhất, trong khi đó các chỉ số khác đều chỉ ra dữ liệu GSMaP kém chất lượng nhất trong 4 nguồn dữ liệu.

Hồ Tây là hồ tự nhiên tọa lạc ở Tây Bắc Hà Nội với diện tích hơn 500 ha có chu vi 18 km. Cũng như các thủy vực khác, nước hồ Tây vẫn còn khả năng tự làm sạch với điều kiện liên quan đến một số yếu tố trong đó có lượng oxy hòa tan trong nước hồ (DO). Khi lượng chất thải tăng, khả năng tự làm sạch của hồ không đáp ứng, kéo theo suy giảm DO trong nước, từ đó dẫn đến những thay đổi bất lợi đến đời sống của thủy sinh vật. DO được sử dụng như một thông số để đánh giá mức độ ô nhiễm chất hữu cơ của các nguồn nước. DO còn có ý nghĩa lớn đối với quá trình tự làm sạch của hồ. Khi DO giảm thấp (< 4 mg/l) cá và các động vật thủy sinh khác bị chết, nước sẽ trở nên có màu đen và bốc mùi hôi thối. Nguồn cung cấp oxy chủ yếu là từ khí quyển và từ sự quang hợp của các loài thực vật trong nước. Sự tụt giảm oxy được gây ra do nhiều yếu tố, trong đó quan trọng nhất là nhu cầu oxy sinh học (BOD). Kết quả cho thấy nếu tình trạng dư thừa chất dinh dưỡng trong hồ kéo dài có thể ảnh hưởng đến độ dày thiếu khí của lớp nước đáy hồ và sẽ tiếp tục di chuyển lên phía trên thuộc lớp nước mặt của hồ. Tình trạng này có thể kéo theo làm giảm khả năng tự làm sạch của hồ. Khả năng tự làm sạch của hồ được đánh giá dựa trên tỷ lệ giá trị hằng số tốc độ nạp oxy (K2) và hằng số tốc độ khử oxy (K1). Giá trị tỷ lệ tự làm sạch (K2/K1) Hồ Tây trung bình vào mùa khô là 1,6, mùa mưa là 2,24 và thuộc phạm vi có khả năng tự làm sạch (> 1).

Kétszáz éve látogatta végig Rudnay Sándor hercegprímás Pest, Buda és Óbuda plébániáit, és kétszáz éve adta ki Schams Ferenc részletes városleíró munkájának második kötetét Budáról. Szeptember elseje, a tanévkezdet alkalmából ezen két forrásból kiindulva bemutatjuk, milyen keretek között zajlott ekkoriban a három városban az alapfokú oktatás: hányan jártak egy-egy osztályba és milyen feltételek mellett végezték munkájukat a tanítók.
Elvharcok és reális megfontolások Budapest rendőrségének kérdésében (Rendészet, állami vagy fővárosi rendőrség)
Authors: Herédi Attila
Published: February 2023

Buda, Pest és Óbuda – ugyan koronként változó mértékű – önállósággal, de választott testületeik (tanácsaik) irányításával maguk intézték helyi közügyeiket, amelyeknek egyik lényeges része volt a rendészeti feladatok ellátása. A városegyesítés közeledtével az a kérdés is napirendre került az országgyűlésen, hogy a létrejövő Budapesten miként szervezzék meg a rendőrséget. A korábbihoz hasonlóan működjön tovább, de már a főváros irányítása alatt – kockáztatva így a három eltérő karakterű város(rész) helyzetéből és lehetőségeiből eredő konfliktusokat –, vagy az egész szerv kerüljön inkább állami kezelésbe. Nem egyszerűen szervezeti és finanszírozási kérdéseket kellett megvitatniuk a politikusoknak, mert már az elvek tekintetében is jelentős nézetkülönbségek kerültek elő. A következő írás bemutatja a fővárosi rendőrség létrehozásával kapcsolatos vitákat, amelyek jól érzékeltetik, hogy milyen horderejű kérdés megoldásában kellett a honatyáknak konszenzusra jutniuk.
