The influence of forest tree species composition on the forest height predicted from airborne laser scanning data – A case study in Latvia
Authors: Ivanovs Janis , Lazdins Andis , Lang Mait
Published: May 2023

Airborne laser scanning (ALS) is used to predict different forest inventory parameters; however, the ALS point cloud properties depend on various parameters such as the type of ALS scanner employed, flight altitude and scanning angle, forest stand structure, forest tree species composition, vegetation season, etc. This study used national coverage high-resolution ALS data with minimum point density of 4 points per square meter in combination with field data from the National Forest Inventory (NFI) to build forest stand height models for forest stands dominated by 6 most common tree species in Latvian mixed forest stands, viz. Pinus sylvestris L., Betula pendula Roth, Picea abies (L.) Karst., Populus tremula L., Alnus incana (L.) Moench and Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. for the various ALS scanners employed and at different growing seasons. The selected NFI plots are divided into modelling and validation datasets in a ratio of 3 : 1. The results show that for a universal forest stand height model, the RMSE value is 1.91 m and the MAE is 1.41 m. For the forest stand height models, which are stratified by scanner, individual tree species and seasons, the RMSE value is within the limits of 1.4 m for forest stands dominated by Scots pine in leaf-on canopy condition to 3.8 m for birch in leaf-off canopy condition.

Memorial Landscape of the Ural Town in the Material of Folklore Archive (Kaslee, 1970‑1980)
Authors: Gramatchikova Natalia B.
Published: May 2023

The article considers the possibility and limits of reconstructing the memorial landscape of the Ural town-factory based on the materials of student folklore practical studies in the late Soviet era. The author reveals the stable motifs of the legends connected with the history of the founding of the industrial settlement of Kaslee, as well as with the specifics of the ethnic interaction between Russian settlers and the local population. The article also defines the “places of memory” in folklore materials. The study shows how the scientific and methodological attitudes of folklorists and the methods of interaction between collectors and informants are reflected in the collection of field archival materials from a particular area.

The memorial landscape reconstructed according to folklore data tells both about the past of Kaslee and the present, as the perspective of such a description of the past is determined by the present. Archival folklore materials are an example of a combination of practices of communicative and cultural memories. In this aspect, the place of “songs about the city” is also determined in the article. The authors believe that “empty cells” – lacunae of archival memory, about which the informants did not tell and/or the collectors did not ask, are significant elements of this memorative landscape. The stories related to the accident at the Mayak chemical plant in 1957 and the environmental agenda in general become such subjects of silence.

The article will be useful to folklorists and anyone interested in the problems of memory in folklore materials, as an attempt to apply the methods of folklore and anthropology to the practice of memory studies.
Military-Administrative and Demographic Aspects of the Kuban Cossack Settlements Formation on the Adagum Cordon Line in the Trans-Kuban (1860s)
Authors: Fedina Irina M.
Published: May 2023

Based on documentary materials, this paper reviews the development of Northwestern Caucasus by the Cossacks in the 1860s. For the development of new territories, a defensive-offensive strategy was used. With the help of fortified settlement structures, the advancement and retention of Russian borders in the trans-Kuban areas were carried out.

The “inducted” settlements are of particular interest because they were invariably tied to the cordon lines during the settlement period of the Trans-Kuban region. Among them, Cossack villages were the most stable settlement type. The focus of the scientific problem is the civil-settlement aspect and the military-organizational narrative of the Adagum cordon line. Historical settlements arose from a complex interweaving of politics and geography, power, and settlement modus vivendi, reflecting not only the Cossacks' way of life but also their identity.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze and determine the significance of the Cossack settlement structures throughout the regional historical process to understand the process of development of the Trans-Kuban areas and the emerging network of fortification objects with key settlement structures in the form of fortified stanitsa settlements, as well as the penetration of Russian influence into a new area of the historical region of Kuban.

This article is intended for historians and anyone interested in the history of the Cossacks.
analysis of the Technology Acceptance Model TAM in understanding Faculty’s behavioral intention to use Internet of Things IOT
Authors: Alzahrani Abdulaziz
Published: May 2023

The study focuses on examining faculty members’ self-efficacy in two departments – Instructional Technology and Computer Science – in using the Internet of Things (IoT) in Saudi universities. To achieve the study’s goal, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to test the effect of self-efficacy in the use of the IoT in education. TAM includes the following variables: Faculty Members’ Self-efficacy (FMSE), Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Attitude (AT), and Behavioral Intention to Use IoT (BI). The study consists of quantitative research, and the instrument used was a survey developed to measure faculty members’ self-efficacy. The results showed that faculty members who have more confidence in their technology skills are more likely to view IoT technology as beneficial. Perceived ease of use affected both perceived usefulness and attitude toward adopting the IoT. However, perceived usefulness failed to affect attitude, and attitude does not influence behavioral intention to adopt IoT technology.
The Public Participation In Dealing With Covid-19 Through The Use Of “Pedulilindungi” Application (Special Region Of Yogyakarta)
Authors: Mulyono Hendrawan Agung , Mutiarin Dyah
Published: May 2023

From the end of 2019 up to 2022, Covid-19 has spread in Indonesia. The government also tries to handle; one of which is through the use of application-based information technology, namely PeduliLindungi. This application was launched to help preventing the spread of Covid-19 by sharing the data and information between people. Therefore, this study examines the public participation level in the use of PeduliLindungi application for handling Covid-19 (Yogyakarta Special Region) and finds out the role of PeduliLindungi application in dealing with the spread of Covid-19. The data used were from the primary data through administering the questionnaire and secondary data (including: journals, books, and official government websites). This study used 2 variables and 7 measurement indicators. The first variable focus on the public participation in the use of PeduliLindungi application, which measures 4 indicators, involving the identification of Covid-19 cases in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, the public understanding of the PeduliLindungi application, the ease of using the PeduliLindungi application and the public attitudes in using the PeduliLindungi application. Then, the second variable was about the application of (PeduliLindungi) in handling Covid-19 which focused on 3 indicators, namely the PeduliLindungi application and its features, the uses and benefits of the PeduliLindungi application, and the PeduliLindungi application as the socialization strategy. The results indicated that the public participation in the use of PeduliLindungi application was sufficient since this was related to the mandatory vaccination for the public although its use was still not optimal, but so far this application had been operated sufficiently and produced positive results for the government and the public, so until now Indonesia situation was getting better from covid-19. Moreover, the government should focus on their aims and highlight the point lines, so the people did not feel confused between one policy to another.

The Clinical Reasoning Assessment Tool for Learning from Standardized Patient Experiences: A Pilot Study
Authors: Riopel Mary , Benham Sara , Landis Jennifer , Falcone Stephanie , Harvey Sarah
Published: May 2023

Purpose: Clinical reasoning (CR) is the ability to integrate the knowledge of diagnoses with the use of supporting theories to create effective, client-centered interventions. One means of teaching CR to rehabilitation students is using standardized patient (SP) experiences. The relationship between faculty and student CR ratings after SP experiences has not been researched. The purpose of the study was to determine if there would be correlations between physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) student and faculty ratings of CR skills after an SP experience. Method: The Clinical Reasoning Assessment Tool (CRAT) was used by students to self-reflect on their CR performance after an SP experience and compared to their respective faculty ratings. The CRAT includes three subsections: content knowledge, procedural knowledge, and conceptual reasoning, each with a visual analog scale. Correlations between students’ self-assessment of CR and faculty reviews were analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlations. Results: Seventeen PT and seventeen OT students participated. Spearman’s rho correlation coefficients for the PT students and their faculty were: content knowledge (r=.180; p=.488), procedural knowledge (r=.697; p=.002), and conceptual reasoning (r=.258; p=.317). Spearman’s rho correlation coefficients for the OT students and their faculty were: content knowledge (r=.103; p=.693), procedural knowledge (r=.676; p=.003), and conceptual reasoning (r=.505; p=.039). Conclusions: Neither PT nor OT student ratings was a statistically significant correlation in content knowledge ratings in relation to respective faculty ratings. Both PT and OT student procedural knowledge rating correlations with faculty were strong and statistically significant. PT student and faculty ratings were not significantly correlated in conceptual reasoning compared to faculty; however, OT students and faculty ratings were strong, had positive correlations, and were statistically significant. Further research is needed to assess students’ CR development longitudinally across curricula.

Wetland Restoration Dilemma in Uganda: Investigation of Alternative Livelihood Options for Restoring Limoto Wetland in Eastern Uganda
Authors: Kameri Ochoko John , Luyiga Suzan , Barasa Bernad
Published: May 2023

Purpose: Motion 145 adopted by the 5th IUCN World Conservation Congress in 2012, called for an evaluation of alternative livelihood programs' contributions to biodiversity conservation. And since then, alternative livelihood opportunities are employed globally as a way to protect biodiversity, notably for wetlands. This study aims to advance the evaluation of alternative livelihood options' effects on biodiversity. The objective of the study is to describe the effectiveness of alternative livelihood options in the restoration of the Limoto wetland.                      

Methodology: A cross-sectional research design was adopted. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected using Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and interviews. FGDs were conducted with five groups of beneficiaries of livelihoods options. Interviews were carried out with seven key informants who were considered to be knowledgeable about the wetland restoration alternative livelihood options. These included village local council chairpersons from communities near the wetland, opinion leaders, district natural resources officers, IUCN Representative, NEMA official and wetland department.

Findings: The study revealed that the livelihood options initiated for Limoto wetland restoration were ineffective and unsustainable. While, the study further revealed that the wetland restoration program had led to food shortages due to loss of wetland farmland. The study findings showed that re-encroachment was substantially due to a lack of perceived relevance and dissatisfaction with the alternative livelihood options.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study concludes that wetland re-encroachment is caused by the beneficiaries’ dissatisfaction of the alternative livelihood options introduced. Therefore, the study recommends the alternative livelihood options be determined using a co-creating design, where the communities are involved and this is in accordance with National Environment Act No.5, 2019 Uganda.

Published: May 2023

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccines are associated with an increased risk of myocarditis using hospital discharge diagnoses as an outcome. The validity of these register-based diagnoses is uncertain.

Methods: Patient records for subjects < 40 years of age and a diagnosis of myocarditis in the Swedish National Patient Register were manually reviewed. Brighton Collaboration diagnosis criteria for myocarditis were applied based on patient history, clinical examination, laboratory data, electrocardiograms, echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging and myocardial biopsy. Poisson regression was used to estimate incidence rate ratios, comparing the register-based outcome variable to validated outcomes. Interrater reliability was assessed by a blinded re-evaluation.

Results: Overall, 95.6% (327/342) of cases registered as myocarditis were confirmed (definite, probable or possible myocarditis according to Brighton Collaboration diagnosis criteria, positive predictive value 0.96 [95% CI 0.93–0.98]). Of the 4.4% (15/342) cases reclassified as no myocarditis or as insufficient information, two cases had been exposed to the COVID-19 vaccine no more than 28 days before the myocarditis diagnosis, two cases were exposed >28 days before admission and 11 cases were unexposed to the vaccine. The reclassification had only minor impact on incidence rate ratios for myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination. In total, 51 cases were sampled for a blinded re-evaluation. Of the 30 randomly sampled cases initially classified as either definite or probably myocarditis, none were re-classified after re-evaluation. Of the in all 15 cases initially classified as no myocarditis or insufficient information, 7 were after re-evaluation re-classified as probable or possible myocarditis. This re-classification was mostly due to substantial variability in electrocardiogram interpretation.

Conclusion: This validation of register-based diagnoses of myocarditis by manual patient record review confirmed the register diagnosis in 96% of cases and had high interrater reliability. Reclassification had only a minor impact on the incidence rate ratios for myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination.

Children’s occupational performance are activities of daily living, play/ leisure, social participation, education, and work. In developed countries, school-based therapy services are being provided for schoolchildren with special needs. The importance of these services in Malaysia is timely to be explored. This exploratory cross-sectional study identified occupational performance levels of primary schoolchildren with special needs in integrated special education programmes in Malaysia; children with intellectual disability, autism, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, Down syndrome, speech impairment, visual impairment, hearing impairment, and specific learning disorder. Researchers conducted Motor-Free Visual Perceptual Test Third Edition (MVPT-3), Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration Fifth Edition (Beery-VMI), Test of Gross Motor Development – 2 (TGMD-2), Test of Hand Writing Skills-Revised (THS-R), and School Function Assessment (SFA) for 121 students. Results showed that 69.5% of the students scored very low to low average in MVPT-3 (median standard score = 70.0, Std. IQR = 37); 69.4% were very low to below average in Beery-VMI (mean standard score = 78.8, Std. deviation = 20.5); 73% were below age level raw score in TGMD-2; 72.8% were below average in THS-R (median standard score = 74.0, Std. IQR = 27.0); and 81% were below the criterion cut-off in school function. The children with below-normal MVPT, VMI, TGMD2, and THS scores, compared to the children with normal scores for these tests had significantly lower scores (p < 0.001). All the students had impairment in occupation performance at least in one area. This study recommends school-based occupational therapy and other rehabilitation services in the school system in Malaysia.
Sex Detection in the Early Stage of Fertilized Chicken Eggsvia Image Recognition
Authors: Asil Ufuk , Nasibov Efendi
Published: May 2023

Culling newly hatched male chicks in industrial hatcheries poses a serious ethical problem. Both laying and broiler breeders need males, but it is a problem because they are produced more than needed. Being able to determine the sex of chicks in the egg at the beginning or early stage of incubation can eliminate ethical problems as well as many additional costs. When we look at the literature, the methods used are very costly, low in applicability, invasive, inadequate in accuracy, or too late to eliminate ethical problems. Considering the embryo's development, the earliest observed candidate feature for sex determination is blood vessels. Detection from blood vessels can eliminate ethical issues, and these vessels can be seen when light is shined into the egg until the first seven days. In this study, sex determination was made by morphological analysis from embryonic vascular images obtained in the first week when the light was shined into the egg using a standard camera without any invasive procedure to the egg.
EVALUATING BERT AND PARSBERT FOR ANALYZING PERSIAN ADVERTISEMENT DATA
Authors: Mehrban Ali , Ahadian Pegah
Published: May 2023

This paper discusses the impact of the Internet on modern trading and the importance of data generated from these transactions for organizations to improve their marketing efforts. The paper uses the example of Divar, an online marketplace for buying and selling products and services in Iran, and presents a competition to predict the percentage of a car sales ad that would be published on the Divar website. Since the dataset provides a rich source of Persian text data, the authors use the Hazm library, a Python library designed for processing Persian text, and two state-of-the-art language models, mBERT and ParsBERT, to analyze it. The paper's primary objective is to compare the performance of mBERT and ParsBERT on the Divar dataset. The authors provide some background on data mining, Persian language, and the two language models, examine the dataset's composition and statistical features, and provide details on their fine-tuning and training configurations for both approaches. They present the results of their analysis and highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the two language models when applied to Persian text data. The paper offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of working with low-resource languages such as Persian and the potential of advanced language models like BERT for analyzing such data. The paper also explains the data mining process, including steps such as data cleaning and normalization techniques. Finally, the paper discusses the types of machine learning problems, such as supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, and the pattern evaluation techniques, such as confusion matrix. Overall, the paper provides an informative overview of the use of language models and data mining techniques for analyzing text data in low-resource languages, using the example of the Divar dataset.
Long-term multi-source precipitation estimation with high resolution (RainGRS Clim)
Authors: Jurczyk Anna , Ośródka Katarzyna , Szturc Jan , Pasierb Magdalena , Kurcz Agnieszka
Published: May 2023

Abstract. This paper explores the possibility of using multi-source precipitation estimates for climatological applications. A data processing algorithm (RainGRS Clim) has been developed to work on precipitation accumulations such as daily or monthly totals, which are significantly longer than operational accumulations (generally between 5 min and 1 h). The algorithm makes the most of additional opportunities, such as the possibility to complement with delayed data, access to high-quality data that are not operationally available, and the greater efficiency of the algorithms for data quality control and merging on longer accumulations. Verification of the developed algorithms was carried out on monthly accumulations through comparison with precipitation from manual rain gauges. As a result, monthly accumulations estimated by RainGRS Clim were found to be significantly more reliable than accumulations generated operationally. This improvement is particularly noticeable for the winter months, when precipitation estimation is much more difficult due to less reliable radar estimates.
Environmental changes during the onset of the Late Pliensbachian Event (Early Jurassic) in the Cardigan Bay Basin, Wales

Published: May 2023

Abstract. The Late Pliensbachian Event (LPE), in the Early Jurassic, is associated with a perturbation in the global carbon cycle (positive carbon isotope excursion (CIE) of ∼2 ‰), cooling of ∼5 ∘C, and the deposition of widespread regressive facies. Cooling during the late
Pliensbachian has been linked to enhanced organic matter burial and/or
disruption of thermohaline ocean circulation due to a sea level lowstand of at least regional extent. Orbital forcing had a strong influence on the
Pliensbachian environments and recent studies show that the terrestrial
realm and the marine realm in and around the Cardigan Bay Basin, UK, were
strongly influenced by orbital climate forcing. In the present study we
build on the previously published data for long eccentricity cycle E459 ± 1 and extend the palaeoenvironmental record to include E458 ± 1. We explore the environmental and depositional changes on orbital timescales for the Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) core during the onset of the LPE. Clay mineralogy, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) elemental analysis, isotope ratio mass spectrometry, and palynology are combined to resolve systematic changes in erosion, weathering, fire, grain size, and riverine influx. Our results indicate distinctively different environments before and after the onset of the LPE positive CIE and show increased physical erosion relative to chemical weathering. We also identify five swings in the climate, in tandem with the 405 kyr eccentricity minima and maxima. Eccentricity maxima are linked to precessionally repeated occurrences of a semi-arid monsoonal climate with high fire activity and relatively coarser sediment from terrestrial runoff. In contrast, 405 kyr minima in the Mochras core are linked to a more persistent, annually wet climate, low fire activity, and relatively finer-grained deposits across multiple precession cycles. The onset of the LPE positive CIE did not impact the expression of the 405 kyr cycle in the proxy records; however, during the second pulse of heavier carbon (13C) enrichment, the clay minerals record a change from dominant chemical weathering to dominant physical erosion.
Day-night differences in δ18O and d-excess of convective rainfall in the Rio Claro station, inland tropics of Brazil

Published: May 2023

Abstract. The tropical central-southern part of Brazil (CSB) is characterized by strong convective systems bringing generous water supply for agro-industrial activities but also pose flood risks for large cities. Here, we present high-frequency (5–10 minutes) rainfall isotopic compositions to better understand those systems, with a total of 90 intra-event samples collected during the period 2019–2021. Convective activity and moisture transport modulate the seasonal rainwater isotopic composition with low δ18O values during summer and high during autumn and spring. In summer, both regional and local factors contribute to the observed depletion in heavy isotope contents of rainfall, with strong, continuous rainout along the trajectories of moisture-laden air masses arriving at the rainfall collection site from the Amazon basin, and diurnal convective activity of the local atmosphere, respectively. This activity generates convective clouds with distinct features (cloud depth and cloud base height) and induces differences in atmospheric conditions below the cloud base level (relative humidity and rainfall rates) modifying isotopic characteristics of rainfall and revealing novel perspective on day-night contrast in δ18O and d-excess values. During daytime, enhanced sub-cloud effects lead to high δ18O and low d-excess while continuous regional rainout during night-time results in low δ18O and high d-excess values of local rainfall. Our results offer a new framework of key drivers controlling the isotopic variability of rainfall in tropical South America that must be considered in future studies of convective systems across the tropics.
Looking for undocumented earthquake effects: a probabilistic analysis of Italian macroseismic data
Authors: Antonucci Andrea , Rovida Andrea , D'Amico Vera , Albarello Dario
Published: May 2023

Abstract. A methodology to detect local incompleteness of
macroseismic intensity data at the local scale is presented. In particular,
the probability that undocumented effects actually occurred at a site is
determined by considering intensity prediction equations (in their
probabilistic form) integrated by observations relative to known events
documented at surrounding sites. The outcomes of this analysis can be used
to investigate how representative and known the seismic histories of
localities are (i.e., the list of documented effects through time). The proposed approach is applied to the Italian area. The analysis shows that, at most of
the considered sites, the effects of intensity ≥ 6 should most probably
have occurred at least once, but they are not contained in the current
version of the Italian macroseismic databases. In a few cases, instead, the
lack of data may concern higher intensity levels (i.e., ≥ 8). The
geographical distribution of potentially lost information reflects the
heterogeneity of the seismic activity over the Italian territory.
Vairimorpha (Nosema) Parazitinin Antimikrobiyal Peptidler Aracılığıyla Bal Arılarının Hümoral Bağışıklığına Etkileri
Authors: TOZKAR Cansu Özge
Published: May 2023

Arılar, dünya çapındaki tüm tarımsal türlerin büyük çoğunluğu ve yabani flora için önemli tozlayıcılardır. Son yıllarda dünyadaki arı kolonilerinin sayısında hızlı bir düşüş yaşanmıştır. Bal arıları sosyal böceklerdir, bu da onları mikrobiyal patojenler ve parazitlerin hızla yayılmasına karşı hassas hale getirir. Koloni çöküşüne yol açan tek bir nedensel ajan tanımlanamaz ve işçi arılardaki azalmayla ilgili en yaygın biyolojik etkenlerden biri parazitik microsporidia Vairimorpha (Nosema) spp., esas olarak Vairimorpha (Nosema) apis ve Vairimorpha (Nosema) ceranae, her ikisi de Apis türlerinde görülen Nosemosis hastalığından sorumludur. Vairimorpha ceranae daha yaygındır ve koloni çöküşü ile ilişkili olan arı bağışıklık tepkisi üzerinde etkilidir. Bu mikrosporidiaların immünosupresif etkisi ve kovan organizasyonun bozulması koloniyi zayıflatır ve koloni kayıplarına yol açar. Bunun da ekolojik, tarımsal ve ekonomik sonuçları oldukça fazladır. Bal arıları mikrobiyal patojenlerin zararlı etkilerini en aza indiren, doğuştan ve sonradan kazanılmış bağışıklığı içeren son derece etkili savunma mekanizmalarına sahiptirler. Bal arılarının en temel savunma sistemi olan hümoral tepki, doğuştan gelen bağışıklığın ikinci kategorisidir ve antimikrobiyal peptidler (AMP' ler) aracılık eder. Stres faktörleri ile başa çıkabilme yeteneğine sahip bal arılarının bağışıklık mekanizmalarına odaklanan araştırmalar, kolonilerin gücünü ve verimliliğini arttırmalarına yardımcı olabilir. Vairimorpha (Nosema) spp’nin arıların bağışıklık sistemi üzerindeki etkisi, karşılıklı ilişkilerini daha iyi anlamak ve etkili arı koruma yöntemleri geliştirmek için daha ayrıntılı bir şekilde anlaşılmalıdır. Bal arısı bağışıklık sistemleri çözümlendikçe, sosyal böcekler ve bağışıklık fonksiyonları arasındaki potansiyel evrimsel ilişki belirlenebilir. Böylece arı kayıplarını azaltmak için yerel alttür ve ekotipleri koruma stratejileri geliştirilebilir.
