Abstract. The mangrove forests of Lawaan-Balangiga in Eastern Samar lost significant cover due to the Typhoon Haiyan that struck the region in 2013. The mangroves in the area have since shown signs of recovery in terms of growth and spatial coverage, but these widely varied with locations. This study aims to further examine the status of recovery of mangroves across different locations by analysing the time series trends of selected vegetation and moisture indices: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI), and Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI). These indices were extracted from Landsat 8 surface reflectance images, spanning 2014 to 2020, using Google Earth Engine (GEE). The time series analyses showed similar NDVI, MSAVI and NDMI values and trends after the 2013 typhoon event. The trend slopes also indicated high correlation (0.91 – 1.00) between and among the indices, with NDVI having the highest correlation with MSAVI (∼1.00). The study was able to corroborate the previous study on mangroves in Lawaan-Balangiga, by presenting positive trend results in the identified recovered areas. These trends, however, would still have to be validated by collecting and comparing biophysical parameters in the field. The next step of the research would be to identify the factors that contribute to the varying rates of recovery in the areas and to evaluate how this can affect the carbon sequestration rates of recovering mangroves.
SUPPLEMENTING SATELLITE IMAGERY WITH SOCIAL MEDIA DATA FOR REMOTE RECONNAISSANCE: A CASE STUDY OF THE 2020 TAAL VOLCANO ERUPTION

Published: November 2021

Abstract. Social sensing and satellite imagery are named as the top emerging data sources for disaster management. There is a wealth of data, both in quantity and quality that can be extracted from social media platforms such as Twitter, given that the content published by users is generally in real-time and includes a geotag or toponym. To reduce costs, risks, and time, performing reconnaissance using remote sources of information is highly suggested. This study explores how social media data can be used to supplement satellite imagery in post-disaster remote reconnaissance using the January 2020 Taal Volcano Eruption in the Philippines. Tweets about the volcanic eruption were scraped, and ashfall-affected locations mentioned in tweet content were extracted using Named Entity Recognition (NER). To visualize the progression of the tweeted locations, dot density maps and hotspot maps were generated. Additionally, a potential ashfall extent map was generated from processed DIWATA-2 satellite imagery using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification. An intersection of both dot density map and ashfall extent map was performed for comparative analysis of both data. Validation was carried out by matching the ashfall-affected locations with ground reports from local government offices and news reports. The use of social media data complements satellite image classification in the detection of disaster damage for a quick and cost-efficient remote reconnaissance. This information can be utilized by rescue teams for faster emergency response and relief operations during and after a disaster.
VEHICLE DENSITY ESTIMATION IN QUEZON CITY USING OBJECT-BASED FEATURE EXTRACTION ON SATELLITE IMAGES
Authors: Banaag H. B. , Litana M. S. , Ramos R. V.
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Manual vehicle counting is often tedious, expensive, and time-consuming. While automatic counting from CCTV allows for annual average daily traffic estimation, CCTV files in the Philippines are not available to the public and do not fully cover all road extents. In this study, Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques are employed to use readily available satellite images to obtain vehicle count in selected road segments in the Central Business Districts of Quezon City before and after the COVID-19 lockdown. Using the existing Google Earth Images, a segmentation algorithm using ENVI Feature Classification was developed to allow remote counting of vehicles from the earliest image in 2018. The devised algorithm was able to delineate, identify, and classify according to the types of vehicles that are visible on the image. An average error rate of 12.24% was found by comparison of automated counts and manual counts on the images, while a regression analysis yielded a value of R2 = 0.9227 that denoted a strong relationship between automated and manual counts. Vehicle density was calculated, and percent differences were obtained to determine the relative differences of the vehicle counts from the vehicle count of the earliest image taken in 2018. It was found that the vehicle density declined by at least 81% by March 25, 2020. The methodological framework presented in this study provides estimates of vehicle counts and vehicle density. It can be further improved if vehicle counts, on the same location and period, from field validation surveys are available.
Spin noise gradient echoes
Authors: Rodin Victor V. , Ginthör Stephan J. , Bechmann Matthias , Desvaux Hervé , Müller Norbert
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Nuclear spin noise spectroscopy in the absence of radio
frequency pulses was studied under the influence of pulsed field gradients
(PFGs) on pure and mixed liquids. Under conditions where the radiation-damping-induced line broadening is smaller than the gradient-dependent inhomogeneous broadening, echo responses can be observed in difference spectra between experiments employing pulsed field gradient pairs of the same and opposite signs. These observed spin noise gradient echoes (SNGEs) were analyzed through a simple model to describe the effects of transient phenomena. Experiments performed on high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probes demonstrate how refocused spin noise behaves and how it can be exploited to determine sample properties. In bulk liquids and their mixtures, transverse relaxation times and translational diffusion constants can be determined from SNGE spectra recorded following tailored sequences of magnetic field gradient pulses.
On the use of acoustic data to characterise the thermohaline stratification in a tropical ocean

Published: November 2021

Abstract. The use of active acoustic to monitor abiotic structures and processes in the ocean have been gaining ground in oceanography. In some systems, acoustics allow the robust estimation of the depth of the pycnocline or thermocline either directly or indirectly when the physical structures drive the one of organisms. Here, we examined the feasibility of extracting the thermohaline structure (mixed-layer depth, upper and lower thermocline) from echosounder data collected in the oligotrophic Southwestern tropical Atlantic region at two seasons (spring and fall), more precisely in two areas with different thermohaline conditions, at both day and night. For that, we tested three approaches: (i) the vertical extension of the epipelagic community; (ii) the use of acoustic gradients; and (iii) a cross-wavelet approach. Results show that, even if the thermohaline structure impacts the vertical distribution of acoustic scatters, the resultant structuring did not allow for a robust estimation of the thermohaline limits indicating that other oceanographic or biological processes are acting. This result prevents for a fine-scale representation of the upper-layer turbulence from acoustic data. However, studying the proportion of acoustic biomass within each layer provides interesting insights on ecosystem structure in different thermohaline, seasonal and diel scenarios.

El cuidado de sí mismo a través de los otros según los diálogos aporéticos de Platón
Authors: De Bravo Delorme Cristián Alejandro
Published: November 2021

En este artículo me interesa abordar el carácter terapéutico de la filosofía socrática según los diálogos aporéticos de Platón. Considero que la terapia de Sócrates es un cuidado de sí mismo cuyo ejercicio se lleva a cabo con los otros de manera dialéctica, por lo cual la naturaleza de sí mismo no es nunca resultado de una reflexión aislada, sino una búsqueda constante a través del diálogo. Para ello es necesario aclarar el sentido de la relación que establece el diálogo socrático, la estructura de la pregunta terapéutica y el objetivo que motiva la terapia socrática.

Comercio ontológico y posibilidad de un conocimiento metafísico del mundo natural en la Nova dilucidatio de Kant
Authors: Mendoza Gurrola Paulo Sergio
Published: November 2021

Estableciendo las bases de su primera síntesis precrítica, Kant presenta en la Nova dilucidatio los principios de sucesión y de coexistencia, que, además de hacer posible un conocimiento metafísico de la naturaleza, pretendían ser útiles para la ciencia natural. Ambos son derivados del principio de razón determinante, formulado en el marco de una crítica a Wolff. Estos principios establecen que el mundo está constituido por la totalidad de las substancias conformada por una red dinámica de interconexiones causales, cuyo fundamento último es el esquema relacional con el que el intelecto divino concibe al mundo.
El retrato platónico de los sofistas del siglo V a. C.
Authors: Villar Francisco
Published: November 2021

En este trabajo me propongo comparar el patrón argumentativo de los sofistas del siglo V a. C. tal como son retratados en la obra de Platón con el de los erísticos del Eutidemo. Defenderé que ninguno de estos sofistas es presentado por Platón como experto en dialéctica refutativa, actividad discursiva que caracteriza a la erística. Por el contrario, el retrato platónico de Pródico, Hipias, Gorgias y Protágoras los muestra como incapaces, desinteresados u hostiles a la argumentación de tipo dialéctica.
Nietzsche: ética y arte de la transfiguración
Authors: De Pablos Escalante Raúl Esteban
Published: November 2021

Nietzsche identificó la filosofía como arte de la transfiguración en la edición de La gaya ciencia de 1887. Esta expresión tiene un fuerte vínculo con la última obra de Rafael Sanzio, La trasfigurazione (1520), comentada en El nacimiento de la tragedia, en donde el arte es considerado como transfigurador. Tanto la filosofía como el arte se relacionan con el acto de transfigurar y ambas deben ponerse en relación con la vida; la cual ha de ser transfigurada por el amor.

Published: November 2021

Bio specimen collection and storage and bio bank data have numerous ethical issues. Stakeholders' views on these ethical problems are essential because they may assist establish ethical standards for bio banking. Physicians are key stakeholders because they may contact prospective participants and become bio bank users. The aim of this research is to assess Pakistani doctors' views and knowledge regarding bio banking and willingness to donate. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted to poll Pakistani physicians’ attitudes and views regarding bio banks. Between January and April 2021.473 doctors completed the questionnaire. Participants had sufficient knowledge of bio banking. Of those, 74.2 stated that they had heard of the term "Human Genome Project," while 72.5% revealed that they were familiar with the term "bio banking." 61.5% of the participants showed their willingness to donate bio specimens. Marital status (0.001), faculty (0.001), involvement in research (0.038), blood and tissue testing in recent years (0.420) and demonstrated a significant relationship with willingness to donate. While general health status, recent hospitalization, family history of inherited diseases, incidence of chronic disease, and gender had no statistically significant associations with willingness to donate. Although65.8% agreed that bio banks should be able to exchange bio specimens with foreign research groups and only 49.5% agreed on collaboration with pharmaceutical companies. Although more than half of Pakistani doctors heard of bio banking, the presence of bio banks in Pakistan was restricted. They were concerned about marketing, widespread consent and confidentiality. There is a great gap of knowledge and awareness among stakeholders that should encompass several educational initiatives. Community conversations on the problems of marketing and the return of research findings should begin to achieve an agreement.

Incentivizing wellness through community supported agriculture: Reflections on shareholder impacts of an employer-based CSA voucher program
Authors: Rossi Jairus , Woods Timothy
Published: November 2021

Community supported agriculture (CSA) programs are emerging as popular consumer options for pro­duce acquisition. While many researchers have dis­cussed the impacts of CSA on economies, commu­nities, and the environment, others are interested in documenting how produce-based CSA shapes health. In this paper, we evaluate whether and to what extent CSA incentive programs, funded by diverse employer groups in central Kentucky 2015–2018, impact shareholder wellness. To evaluate impact, we use two distinct types of data: we com­pare shareholders’ perceived frequency of food lifestyle behaviors from pre- and post-season sur­veys, and we examine anonymized medical claims from a subset of these participants to determine if CSA participation impacts short-run usage of medical services. From survey data, we observed statistically significant changes in some shareholder behaviors. For instance, CSA shareholders per­ceived that they consumed vegetable salads more often while decreasing their intake of processed foods and snacks. From medical claims data, share­holders are billed less in diet-related medical claims following CSA participation compared to a control group from the same employer organization. In short, we find that CSA is generally beneficial and participants view their experience as providing motivation to reshape their relationship to food. We conclude by offering strategies for institutions and organizations to effectively develop and support CSA incentive programs.

The unique “Cave of the Warrior” burial, found in a Judean Desert cave and dated to the end of the Chalcolithic period, was accompanied by a large number of grave goods made of perishable materials. It opens up an unusual opportunity to recover aspects of the life of an individual person. Based on a reexamination of his personal belongings, we created a microhistory of this individual. We show how a careful analysis of a single-event site contributes to the interpretation and definition of the archaeological record and periodization. The individual most probably originated in the Judean or Samarian Highlands from a settlement whose inhabitants practiced a mixed Mediterranean economy. The individual himself practiced pastoralism and traveled between the highlands and the desert. The remote location and unique burial may be seen as reflective of stresses related to demographic and economic changes occurring at the end of the Chalcolithic period.
Shamelessness and Despair in America
Authors: Beauclair Alain
Published: November 2021

This article offers a diagnosis of the current state of political rhetoric in America, arguing that the prevalence of shamelessness and despair in our age is a result of an injury to the imagination. Taking its bearings from both Aristotle and Dewey, it claims that this injury has its origins in our increasing inability to articulate the objects of our fear in a manner that fosters intelligent inquiry, and consequently inhibits our collective capacity to reconstruct our desires in a manner commensurate with our current circumstances. In an effort to meliorate this challenge, the article points in the direction of the potential fecundity in such positive dispositions as respect and goodwill.

Filiação comum e adaptação em Sobre a origem das espécies
Authors: Caponi Gustavo
Published: November 2021

Em Sobre a origem das espécies, a seleção natural é inicialmente introduzida como um recurso para explicar a diversificação das formas vivas a partir de um ancestral comum. Reconhecido isto, é possível dizer que o objetivo principal da Teoria da Seleção Natural não é fornecer uma explicação da adaptação, mas sim estabelecer um mecanismo que, sendo capaz de gerar diversificação sem contrariar as condições de existência que todos os seres vivos devem satisfazer para subsistirem, possa dar sustento à Teoria da filiação comum. O adaptacionismo deve ser considerado como um corolário que Darwin formulou para explicar a descendência com modificações. Porém, esse corolário, que inicialmente trouxe dificuldades para a teoria, acabou gerando um fértil programa de pesquisa que se desenvolveu paralelamente àquele cujo objetivo era a reconstrução da árvore da vida.

Studies on decontamination for herbal eyebright raw material and product by gamma radiation
Authors: Hoang Phuong Thao , Nguyen Van Binh , Tran Bang Diep , Hoang Dang Sang , Nguyen Thuy Huong Trang , Pham Duy Duong , Tran Minh Quynh
Published: November 2021

Herbal eyebright products and their raw materials have been irradiated with 1, 2, 3 and 5 kGy by Co-60 gamma radiation source at Hanoi Irradiation Center for decontamination. Initial bioburdens were under the limitation levels established for the traditional medicines according to the decree of 16/2011/TT-BYT issued by Vietnam Health Ministry. These values for both bacteria and fungus slightly increased during storage to three months, reach to about 103 and 102 CFU/g for bacteria and molds, respectively. However, there are no microbial colonies that could be observed in the samples irradiated with dose higher than 3 kGy. Results suggested that the dose of 3 kGy was enough for decontamination of eyebright raw powders and products. At dose of 5 kGy, the moisture and vitamin A content of the samples were insignificantly changed. These mean the radiation treatment with low dose did not influenced the quality of eyebright products, and radiation treatment can be applied to prolong the storage of not only eyebright, but also other traditional medicines.

Published: November 2021

In this study, MELCOR computer code is used to simulate the progression of a severe accident initiated from station blackout (SBO) accident for a Westinghouse 4-loop PWR. The hydraulic system is modeled using control volumes and flow paths. The reactor pressure vessel and internals, the primary loops with a pressurizer, steam generators, containment and accumulators are simulated for steady state in a good agreement with reference data.

The two scenarios concerning SBO are investigated. The first scenario simulates RCP seal leakage during SBO and the other is SBLOCA to highlight an effectiveness of accumulators as well as to compare with the first simulation. All active safety systems which depend on AC power are assumed to be unavailable in this analysis.

The main result of the study is an evaluation of RPV lower head integrity during severe accidents. This is preliminary work and expected to give the experience for further studies in the severe accident in nuclear power plants.

Based on guides RG 1.109, RG 1.111 published by United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) our research concentratesinassessing radiation doses caused by radioactive substances released from the nuclear power plant (NPP) Ninh Thuan 1 under the scenario of normal operation using software package NRCDose72 provided by the USNRC. The database including the released radioactive nuclides, meteorology, terrain, population and agricultural production activities have beencollectedand processed to build the input data for the model calculation. The wind rose distribution obtained from the meteorological data in a five-year period from 2009-2013 showed that the radioactive nuclides released to environment spread in two main wind directions which are North East and South West. The X/Q (s/m3) and D/Q (s/m2) qualities which are, respectively, the ratio of activity concentration to release rateand that of deposition density of radioactive nuclides to release rate were calculated within an area of 80 km radius from the NPP site using XOQDOQ. Population doses were calculated using GASPAR. The XOQDOQ and GASPAR are two specific softwares in NRCDose72 package.

In this work, the methodology of estimating the radioactivity of nuclides from point gamma source using method of full spectrum analysis combined with Gold unfolding algorithm are studied. The reference sources with known activities as Ba-133, Cd-109, Co-57, Co-60, Cs-137, Mn-54, Na-22 and Zn-65 are counted in front of the HPGe detector. The source which is mixed by these radioisotopes with known weighting factors C(i) are counted.  Its spectra are unfolded to have the relative radioactivity of these isotopes from analyzed source, Cunf(i). The difference of less than 0.2%  between calculated ratios of Cunf(i) from the unfolded spectra and known weighting factors of C(i) opens a possibility to improve the accuracy for the analysis method with low background HPGe detector.

Published: November 2021

A novel HPLC method was developed and validated for the determination of cilnidipine (CLDP) along with its related impurities A and B in pharmaceutical formulations. The chromatographic separation was carried out by isocratic elution using an X Terra C18 column (250×4.6mm; 5μ). The mobile phase was composed of methanol and phosphate buffer at a pH of 5.8 in the ratio of 10:90 (V/V) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The eluents were detected and quantified at a UV detection wavelength of 229 nm. Calibration curves of all analytes in the range of 2-12μg/mL showed a good correlation linearly (r ≥ 0.999) with recovery rate of more than 98% for each analyte. The percentage RSD in intraday, interday precision and ruggedness were found to be less than 2. Small variations in the developed conditions like mobile phase ratio, flow rate, pH and UV wavelength do not influence the results. This proves the precise and robust nature of the developed method. Stress degradation studies were conducted for standard drug and high amount of degradation was observed under UV light exposure. After 24hours, the molecules degraded up to 9.967%. In base hydrolysis, the CLDP molecule degrades up to 6.223%. In other stress conditions like acidic (5.347%), oxidative (4.916%) and thermal (4.319%) conditions, CLDP was found to be highly labile. In stress degradation study, there is no interference of both known impurities and other degradation products formed and were separated from CLDP. Therefore, this method was found to be selective and specific. The method development and validation result confirms that this method is suitable for determination and quantification of process impurities (A and B) of CLDP in pharmaceutical formulations. Key

Authors: Utami Putri Dikalita
Published: November 2021

Blood pressure is a vital sign that is very important and is a basic physiological parameter in conducting physical assessments of critical patients. Blood pressure can be measured using manual or automatic instruments. The gold standard measures blood pressure with a mercury sphygmomanometer, but its use has been withdrawn due to the risk of mercury contamination. In practice, different values ​​are often obtained between the oscillometric method and auscultation. The objective of this review is to evaluate the significant difference in blood pressure between using the oscillometric method and auscultation in patients in health care. Method A systematic review approach is carried out on research results published in 3 search engines, namely EBSCO, Proquest, and Science Direct. Articles found according to the inclusion criteria that have been set are then assessed using the level of evidence using the NICE approach. The appraisal study uses the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP), and the synthesis method uses a modified PICO. The result indicates that a total of 3 (three) studies were obtained according to the inclusion criteria. The intervention carried out was measuring blood pressure using two methods, namely oscillometric and auscultation. To sum up, there was a statistically significant difference in systolic pressure between the oscillometric and auscultatory methods.

The number of Covid-19 cases continues to increase, including in Indonesia. One of the efforts made by the Indonesian government to prevent a pandemic is to create and implement a Covid-19 vaccination program for the community. Therefore, the government is trying to urge the public to be willing to carry out a Covid-19 vaccine. This study was conducted to the willingness of the Indonesian public to the vaccination program as an effort to prevent Covid-19. The research method used is a qualitative approach by analyzing subjectively through the literature review method from PubMed, Clinical Key, Google Scholar, and Google Engine in Indonesian or English. The results showed that most Indonesians were willing to be vaccinated. However, there are also Indonesians who refuse to be vaccinated. The reason people refuse to be vaccinated against Covid-19 may be that they have different beliefs about the Covid-19 vaccine because of limited information about the type of vaccine, the availability of the vaccine, and the safety of the vaccine itself. the conclusion is that quite a lot of Indonesian people are willing to receive vaccinations but the government still needs to provide information, knowledge, and education about vaccination programs by involving all parties, both directly and the media so that Indonesian people who refuse or receive vaccines have the same perception or views as people who are willing received the Covid-19 vaccine.
