Authors: Garcia Uelson Serra , Ribeiro Laudelina Alves , da Silva Josiane Santos , Shikida Pery Francisco Assis
Published: October 2021

O setor agropecuário vem ocupando papel importante no desenvolvimento do Brasil por meio da promoção de emprego, disponibilização de alimentos e matérias-primas para o mercado interno e externo. O atraso tecnológico de algumas regiões do país resulta em uma agricultura fragilizada e, em alguns casos, não consegue ultrapassar a esfera setorial e criar aspectos econômicos mais complexos. Este artigo teve como objetivo analisar a dinâmica da produção de cana-de-açúcar nos municípios que abrangem a região do Matopiba, por meio dos determinantes socioeconômicos e tecnológicos, para o ano de 2017, ressaltando a questão da produtividade. A metodologia utilizada foi a análise fatorial pelo método dos componentes principais. Os resultados apontam que os municípios que possuem maior produtividade de cana-de-açúcar possuem heterogeneidade em relação ao desenvolvimento socioeconômico e tecnológico. Em contrapartida, os municípios que apresentaram baixa produtividade de cana-de-açúcar exibiram maior vulnerabilidade sobre os aspectos socioeconômicos.
Writing Design Fiction
Authors: Fry Tony
Published: October 2021

Written by leading design philosopher Tony Fry, Writing Design Fiction: Relocating a City in Crisis is both an introduction to the power of “design fiction” in the design process, and a novella-length work of fiction in itself—telling the dramatic story of the relocation of the City of Harshon.

Set in the near future, Harshon, a delta city, is facing environmental catastrophe due to rising sea levels—consequently, a decision is made to relocate the entire city inland. A diverse cast of voices—including an architect, a journalist, an economist, a construction worker, and residents—narrate the extraordinary challenges and complexities which follow. This work presents a real-world scenario which, in coming decades, will face many of the world’s cities. The fictional format provides a novel way of exploring the very serious inherent technical, social, political, economic and cultural challenges. The story provides a rehearsal of the design challenges which are likely to face architects, planners, and designers in an uncertain global future.

“Design fiction” is a fast-growing area within design and architecture, increasingly deployed as a serious methodology by designers as a tool in scenario planning. Writing Design Fiction takes the practice to a higher level conceptually and theoretically, but also practically. The book is divided into four parts, with the fictional narrative bookended by further critical analysis. Part One shows how a critique of existing modes of design fiction can lead to more grounded and critical thinking and practice. Part Three critically reflects on the narrative, while Part Four presents the practical application of the second order design fiction approach. This book demonstrates the value of a more developed mode of design fiction to students, professional designers and architects across the breadth of design practices, as well as to other disciplines interested in the future of cities.
Let’s Go Stag!
Authors: Erdman Dan
Published: October 2021

For much of the 20th century, the underground pornography industry – made up of amateurs and hobbyists who created hardcore, explicit "stag films" – went about its business hounded by reformers and law enforcement, from local police departments all the way up to the FBI. Rumors of this illicit activity circulated and became the stuff of urban myth, but this period of pornography history remains murky.

Let's Go Stag! reveals the secrets of this underground world. Using the archives of civic groups, law enforcement, bygone government studies and similarly neglected evidence, archivist Dan Erdman reconstructs the means by which stag films were produced, distributed and exhibited, as well as demonstrate the way in which these practices changed with the times, eventually paving the way for the pornographic explosion of the 1970s and beyond. Let's Go Stag! is sure to point the way for countless future researchers and remain the standard work of history for this era of adult film for a long time to come.

Measurement report: Variability in the composition of biogenic volatile organic compounds in a Southeastern US forest and their role in atmospheric reactivity
Authors: McGlynn Deborah F. , Barry Laura E. R. , Lerdau Manuel T. , Pusede Sally E. , Isaacman-VanWertz Gabriel
Published: October 2021

Abstract. Despite the significant contribution of biogenic volatile
organic compounds (BVOCs) to organic aerosol formation and ozone production
and loss, there are few long-term, year-round, ongoing measurements of
their volume mixing ratios and quantification of their impacts on
atmospheric reactivity. To address this gap, we present 1 year of hourly
measurements of chemically resolved BVOCs between 15 September 2019 and
15 September 2020, collected at a research tower in Central Virginia
in a mixed forest representative of ecosystems in the Southeastern US.
Mixing ratios of isoprene, isoprene oxidation products, monoterpenes, and
sesquiterpenes are described and examined for their impact on the hydroxy
radical (OH), ozone, and nitrate reactivity. Mixing ratios of isoprene range
from negligible in the winter to typical summertime 24 h averages of 4–6 ppb, while monoterpenes have more stable mixing ratios in the range of tenths of a part per billion up to ∼2 ppb year-round. Sesquiterpenes are
typically observed at mixing ratios of <10 ppt, but this represents
a lower bound in their abundance. In the growing season, isoprene dominates
OH reactivity but is less important for ozone and nitrate reactivity.
Monoterpenes are the most important BVOCs for ozone and nitrate reactivity
throughout the year and for OH reactivity outside of the growing season. To
better understand the impact of this compound class on OH, ozone, and
nitrate reactivity, the role of individual monoterpenes is examined. Despite
the dominant contribution of α-pinene to total monoterpene mass, the
average reaction rate of the monoterpene mixture with atmospheric oxidants
is between 25 % and 30 % faster than α-pinene due to the
contribution of more reactive but less abundant compounds. A majority of
reactivity comes from α-pinene and limonene (the most significant
low-mixing-ratio, high-reactivity isomer), highlighting the importance of
both mixing ratio and structure in assessing atmospheric impacts of
emissions.
Impact of 3D Cloud Structures on the Atmospheric Trace Gas Products from UV-VIS Sounders – Part I: Synthetic dataset for validation of trace gas retrieval algorithms

Published: October 2021

Abstract. Retrievals of trace gas concentrations from satellite observations are mostly performed for clear regions or regions with low cloud coverage. However, even fully clear pixels can be affected by clouds in the vicinity, either by shadowing or by scattering of radiation from clouds in the clear region. Quantifying the error of retrieved trace gas concentrations due to cloud scattering is a difficult task. One possibility is to generate synthetic data by three-dimensional (3D) radiative transfer simulations using realistic 3D atmospheric input data, including 3D cloud structures. Retrieval algorithms may be applied on the synthetic data and comparison to the known input trace gas concentrations yields the retrieval error due to cloud scattering. In this paper we present a comprehensive synthetic dataset which has been generated using the Monte Carlo radiative transfer model MYSTIC. The dataset includes simulated spectra in two spectral ranges (400–500 nm and the O2A-band from 755–775 nm). Moreover it includes layer air mass factors (layer-AMF) calculated at 460 nm. All simulations are performed for a fixed background atmosphere for various sun positions, viewing directions and surface albedos. Two cloud setups are considered: The first includes simple box-clouds with various geometrical and optical thicknesses. This can be used to systematically investigate the sensitivity of the retrieval error on solar zenith angle, surface albedo and cloud parameters. Corresponding 1D simulations are also provided. The second includes realistic three-dimensional clouds from an ICON large eddy simulation (LES) for a region covering Germany and parts of surrounding countries. The scene includes cloud types typical for central Europe such as shallow cumulus, convective cloud cells, cirrus, and stratocumulus. This large dataset can be used to quantify the trace gas concentration retrieval error statistically. Along with the dataset the impact of horizontal photon transport on reflectance spectra and layer-AMFs is analyzed for the box-cloud scenarios. Moreover, the impact of 3D cloud scattering on the NO2 vertical column density (VCD) retrieval is presented for a specific LES case. We find that the retrieval error is largest in cloud shadow regions, where the NO2 VCD is underestimated by more than 20 %. The dataset is available for the scientific community to assess the behavior of trace gas retrieval algorithms and cloud correction schemes in cloud conditions with 3D structure.
Humidity changes and possible forcing mechanisms over the last millennium in arid Central Asia

Published: October 2021

Abstract. Hydroclimate changes have exerted a significant influence on the historical trajectory of ancient civilizations in arid Central Asia where the central routes of the Silk Road have been hosted. However, the climate changes at different time scales and their possible forcing mechanisms over the last millennium remain unclear due to low-resolution records. Here, we provide a continuous high-resolution humidity history in arid Central Asia over the past millennium based on the ~1.8-year high-resolution multiproxy records with good chronological control from Lake Dalongchi in the central Tianshan Mountains. Generally, the climate was dry during the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and Current Warm Period (CWP), and wet during the Little Ice Age (LIA), which could be attributed to the influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). Furthermore, we find that the humidity oscillation was dramatic and unstable at multidecadal to century-scale, especially within the LIA. The continuous wavelet analysis and wavelet coherence show that the humidity oscillation is modulated by the Gleissberg cycle at the century-scale and by the quasi-regular period of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) at the multidecadal scale. Our findings suggest that the effect of the solar cycle and the quasi-regular period of ENSO should be seriously evaluated for hydroclimate predictions and climate simulations in arid Central Asia in the future.

Abstract. Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of global urbanization over a long time series is increasingly important for sustainable development goals. The harmonized time-series nighttime light (NTL) composites by fusing multi-source NTL observations provide a long and consistent record of the nightscape for characterizing and understanding the global urban dynamics. In this study, we generated a global dataset of annual urban extents (1992–2020) using consistent NTL observations and analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns of global urban dynamics over nearly 30 years. The urbanized areas associated with locally high-intensity human activities were mapped from the time-series global NTL imagery using a new stepwise-partitioning framework. This framework includes three components: (1) clustering of NTL signals to generate potential urban clusters; (2) identification of optimal thresholds to delineate annual urban extents; and (3) check of temporal consistency to correct pixel-level urban dynamics. We found that the global urban land area percentage to the Earth’s land surface raised from 0.22 % to 0.69 % in 1992 and 2020, respectively. Urban dynamics over the past three decades at the continent, country, and city levels exhibit various spatiotemporal patterns. Our resulting global urban extents (1992–2020) were evaluated using other urban remote sensing products and socioeconomic data. The evaluations indicate that this dataset is reliable for characterizing spatial extents associated with intensive human settlement and high-intensity socioeconomic activities. The dataset of global urban extents from this study can provide unique information to capture the historical and future trajectories of urbanization, and understand and tackle the urbanization impacts on food security, biodiversity, climate change, and public well-being and health. This dataset can be downloaded from https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.16602224.v1 (Zhao et al., 2021).
Moment tensor catalogue of microearthquakes in West Bohemia from 2008 to 2018
Authors: Vavryčuk Václav , Adamová Petra , Doubravová Jana , Horálek Josef
Published: October 2021

Abstract. We present a unique catalogue of full moment tensors (MTs) of microearthquakes that occurred in West Bohemia, Czech Republic, in the period from 2008 to 2018. The catalogue is exceptional in several aspects: (1) it represents an extraordinary extensive dataset of more than 5.000 MTs, (2) it covers a long period of seismicity in the studied area, during which several prominent earthquake swarms took place, (3) the locations and retrieved MTs of microearthquakes are of a high accuracy. Additionally, we provide three-component records at the West Bohemia (WEBNET) seismic stations, the velocity model in the region, and the technical specification of the stations. The dataset is ideal for being utilized by a large community of researchers for various seismological purposes, e.g., for studies of (1) the migration of foci and the spatiotemporal evolution of seismicity, (2) redistribution of stress during periods of intense seismicity, (3) the interaction of faults, (4) the Coulomb stress along the faults and local stress anomalies connected to fault irregularities, (5) diffusivity of fluids along the activated faults, or (6) the time-dependent seismic risk due to the migration of seismicity in the region. In addition, the dataset is optimum for developing and testing new inversions for MTs and for tectonic stress. Since most of the earthquakes are non-shear, the dataset can contribute to studies of non-double-couple components of MTs and their relation to shear-tensile fracturing and/or seismic anisotropy in the focal zone.
Fast Yaw Optimization for Wind Plant Wake Steering Using Boolean Yaw Angles
Authors: Stanley Andrew P. J. , Bay Christopher , Mudafort Rafael , Fleming Paul
Published: October 2021

Abstract. In wind plants, turbines can be yawed into the wind to steer their wakes away from downstream turbines and achieve an overall increase in plant power. Mathematical optimization is typically used to determine the best yaw angles at which to operate the turbines in a plant. In this paper, we present a new method to rapidly determine the yaw angles in a wind plant. In this method, we define the turbine yaw angles as Boolean—either yawed at a predefined angle or nonyawed—as opposed to the typical methods of formulating yaw angles as continuous or with fine discretizations. We then optimize which turbines should be yawed with a greedy algorithm that sweeps through the turbines from the most upstream to the most downstream. We demonstrate that our new Boolean optimization method can find turbine yaw angles that perform well compared to a traditionally used gradient-based optimizer where the yaw angles are defined as continuous. There is less than 0.6 % difference in the optimized power between the two optimization methods for randomly placed turbine layouts. Additionally, we show that our new method is much more computationally efficient than the traditional method. For plants with nonzero optimal yaw angles, our new method is generally able to solve for the turbine yaw angles 50–150 times faster, and in some extreme cases up to 500 times faster, than the traditional method.

Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Australia
Authors: Koojaroenprasit Sauwaluck
Published: October 2021

Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Australia were analyzed from 1986 to 2011, based on data availability. The determinants considered FDI inflows according to aggregate FDI inflows and FDI inflows by the top three source countries (USA, UK and Japan). Empirical studies identified four results. (1) For the determinants of FDI in Australia, a larger market size will attract more FDI, whereas more openness and a higher corporate tax rate will discourage FDI inflows into Australia. Lower customs duty and lower interest and depreciation of exchange rates will attract more FDI. The relationship between FDI inflows into Australia and wages was not significant. (2) For the determinants of US inward FDI in Australia, a larger market size will attract more US inward FDI in Australia, whereas more openness and an appreciation of the exchange rate will discourage US inward FDI in Australia. A negative and significant relationship was obtained between customs duty and US inward FDI in Australia. There were positive and significant relationships between US inward FDI in Australia and both the interest and corporate tax rates. (3) For the determinants of UK inward FDI in Australia, greater research and development in Australia will attract more UK inward FDI in Australia, whereas a higher corporate tax rate will discourage UK inward FDI in Australia. The positive relationship between market size and UK inward FDI in Australia was not significant. Openness, customs duty and inflation did not have significant relationships with UK inward FDI in Australia. (4) For the determinants of Japanese inward FDI in Australia, higher wages and greater research and development will attract more Japanese inward FDI in Australia, whereas higher customs duty and a higher corporate tax rate will discourage Japanese inward FDI in Australia. There was no significant relationship between Japanese inward FDI in Australia and either the interest or exchange rates.

It is necessary to identify that what are factors contribute to the firms’ capital structure composition in its operation. Hence the present study was undertaken with the objective of finding out the relationship between capital structure determinants and ailing manufacturing firms of the listed companies in Nigeria. Using a multiple regression analysis, ailing manufacturing companies in Nigeria stock exchange market was examined for the period of 2005-2010. The final sample consists of 14 manufacturing companies. In this study, dependent variable that is, leverage level of the companies, is measured by long-term debt ratio, short term debt ratio and total debt ratio. Capital structure determinants (independent variables) are measured by capital intensity, tangibility, profitability, firm size and non- debt tax shield. Findings showed that the direction of the explanatory variables such as tangibility, profitability, firm size and non-debt tax shields with total debt largely consistent with the explanations of trade-off theory and prove past empirical findings also.

Published: October 2021

The installation of offshore structures and facilities in the marine environment, usually for the production and transmission of oil, gas exploration, electricity, and other natural resources is referred to as offshore construction. Since offshore structures are subjected to changing threats to the environment year-round. Fatigue behavior prediction noticed on these structures should be considered during the design stage. Fatigue is one of the failure mechanisms of offshore steel structures, and it must be investigated properly during system design. The fatigue analysis of offshore structures under drag wave force, total wave force, total moment about the sea bed, and other variables are reviewed thoroughly. The structure's dynamic response becomes a critical aspect in the whole design process. The fatigue analysis was carried out using MATLAB software, material properties of the offshore structure, and wave spectrum characteristics in this study. This study shows the JONSWAP spectrum and stress concentration analysis prediction. The offshore support structure that is predicted during the design phase will help to keep the stress concentration factor below the fatigue threshold and anticipate safe life design, according to the results of the fatigue study. The fatigue performances of tripod and jacket steel support structures in intermediate waters depth are compared in this project (20-50 m). The North Atlantic Ocean is used as a reference site, with a sea depth of 45 meters. The tripod and jacket support structures will be designed by using current industry standards.

Authors: Lubis Ahmad Fauzi , Zubir Zuhrial , Ginting Ananda Wibawanta
Published: October 2021

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies against cell nuclei and immune complexes involving multiple organ systems in the body. The Lupus Foundation estimates about 1.5 million cases of SLE in America and at least 5 million cases of SLE in the world and from year to year, the number of people with lupus also tends to increase. Several laboratory findings are also associated with signs and symptoms of SLE activity including the ratio of neutrophil lymphocytes and vitamin D levels.
Method: This study is an observational analytic study using medical record data from central installation patients at H. Adam Malik Hospital in the period December 2019 to March 2021. The sample is calculated using the large proportion estimation formula. Then the distribution test was carried out with the Shapiro Wilk test. Bivariate analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between neutrophil lymphocyte ratio and vitamin D levels with the MEX SLEDAI score using the ANOVA test if the data was normally distributed.
Results: 75 subjects participated in the study and there were 12 people (16%) experiencing mild systemic lupus erythematosus, 38 people (51%) moderate degree, and 25 people (33%) severe degree. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was associated with systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity (p=0.001) and vitamin D levels were associated with systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity.
Conclusion: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and vitamin D levels are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity.

Keywords: neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, vitamin D levels, systemic lupus erythematosus.

A holistic and inclusive model for international student services: Intercultural leadership development programs
Authors:   Biola University, Stephanie Calley
Published: October 2021

International Student Services (ISS) offices have before them an opportunity to strategically cultivate the global leaders of the future. Yet, to cultivate global leaders, a change in structure, posture, and constituency is needed. Moving beyond providing compliance and transitional services, International Student Services offices can engage as co-educators through developing their constituency with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed of future global leaders. Moreover, with this change in posture, ISS offices can play a strategic role in bridging the divide between diverse others, assisting faculty, staff, and students in becoming more interculturally engaged. Towards that end, an ISS office at a faith-based, liberal arts university in Southern California instituted a holistic and inclusive developmental model based on the high-impact intercultural practices noted in the literature. This article outlines the changes the university instituted in structure, posture, and constituency, seeking to move from the marginalization to the development of international students through an Intercultural Leadership Development Program.

the lack of cross-product search integration to be a problem.
ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Leftist Newspapers and Periodicals
Authors: Beck Thomas J.
Published: October 2021

ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Leftist Newspapers and Periodicals is a source for leftist publications (mostly newspapers), largely published in the twentieth century. Here, the user can access articles in PDF format from 156 national and international publications. Navigating this
database and the documents therein can be easily done, but articles cannot be magnified or reduced, which may prove problematic with PDFs of old newspapers. Database content can be found through browsing or by using a basic and/or advanced search. The browse and basic search options here are
understandable, but the advanced search is not self-explanatory and can possibly confuse the user. As a consequence, a new user of this database will probably benefit from instruction in its use from either the vendor or someone else familiar with this resource. However, when this search function
is used properly it can produce numerous, on-point results for any query. The same is true of the basic search and browsing features, though they tend to produce larger lists of results that are less on-point than the advanced search. The vendor did not provide specific price information for
this review, only indicating that pricing is determined by an institution's size and number of users. As this provides potential subscribers with very little insight into the cost of acquiring this resource, its advised that they contact ProQuest for a price quote tailored to their own institution.
Its licensing agreement is the same as those used for all ProQuest databases and is average in its composition (though somewhat longer than average). The quality and quantity of content in this resource is notable, and it will certainly be of use to those looking for articles from leftist
newspapers and periodicals. However, the definition of “leftist” here may be problematic for some users! Communist and Socialist publications are certainly available in this database, but those for Anarchists, Social Democrats, and other leftists are not.

The use of the thoracic-abdominal rebalancing technique in a patient with acute viral bronchiolitis: an experimental report
Authors: Arantes Ana Paula Felix
Published: October 2021

Acute Viral Bronchiolitis (AVB) commonly affects newborns and infants causing signs of mild to moderate respiratory distress, presenting in some cases, need of hospital care to these patients. Thus, despite the low evidence levels of indicating the use of conventional therapies while treating BVA, this article presents the effectiveness of the Thoracic-Abdominal Rebalancing (TAR) technique in a newborn diagnosed with BVA during his hospital stay. The ATR technique proved to be effective in improving signs of respiratory effort when used in an infant hospitalized for AVB.

Jute fibre along with Al particle reinforced unsaturated polyester composites having different filler (both Jute and Al were in equal wt.%) loading viz. 2, 5, 10 and 15 wt.% were fabricated by compression molding technique. Structural investigation is done through SEM. The physical testing like density measurement, void % measurement and gel point calculation has been done and optimum result obtain for UP/Jute/Al composites at the filler content of 10 wt.%. At 10 wt.% of filler content the UP/Jute/Al composites contain lower void content and cure at a controllable manner. Due to this feature of the UP/Jute/Al composites, these composites may be shown good mechanical property.
