Trust, Reciprocity and Religion in a University Setting: An Experimental Approach
Authors: . Sushmita , Kumar Singh Shivam , Gupta Arunima , Singh Kanishk , Singh Kanishk
Published: October 2021

A distinctive feature of economics that sets it apart from other fields in social sciences is that we base it on the belief that it can explain most behavioural actions by assuming that all consumers are rational and have well-defined preferences. If a decision is difficult to 'rationalise,' it is considered as an anomaly. By using various games such as “ultimatum” games and “public goods” games, the paper experimentally tries to observe the effects of bias and discrimination on the economic decisions of individuals with opponents of distinct ethnic and gender affiliation and uses the "dictator game," to detect a systematic mistrust toward players of different religious origins. By this we tried to identify whether strategies differed based on religious affiliations and gender identities. While standard economic theory claims that individuals are rational actors and will always act out of self-interest, games played with our respondents showed exciting results.

One of the possible directions of decarbonisation and electrification of freight and passenger transport is the use of fuel cells with hydrogen as a fuel. Considering that the use of biomass for electricity generation is largely uncompetitive compared to wind and solar power plants, its use for hydrogen production is one of the possible directions of development of this renewable energy source. In this paper, technologies for hydrogen production from biodiesel were analyzed. An analysis of the structure and total costs of hydrogen production from biodiesel was performed, as well as the energy balance of this process. The conditions of using hydrogen to drive fuel cells in electric vehicles were considered. The efficiency of the energy cycle analysis was performed: biodiesel - hydrogen - electricity - mechanical energy to drive electric vehicles. As a final result, an estimation of the costs of production of kWh of electricity from biodiesel and a comparative analysis with a vehicle powered by a diesel engine and an electric motor powered by batteries was performed.

Authors: Rahayu Dwi Mandasari
Published: October 2021

This research aims to determine the effect of social media marketing on brand equity, the impact on consumer response, and the effect on consumer response. The research methodology used is a survey. The number for the sample is 269 Telkomsel Jabodetabek customers. This study uses three hypothetical relationship models. Data analysis used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to determine the test of the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable. The study results indicate the influence of social media marketing efforts on brand equity and consumer response. However, there is no effect between brand equity and consumer response. The limitation of this study is that it only examines Telkomsel's customer respondents and does not examine factors such as brand involvement, brand experience, brand trust, and brand satisfaction.

Phonological and orthographic processing are reported to be among the strongest predictors of reading development across different Indo-European languages. The relative impact of these factors can be modulated by cross-linguistic script and orthographic differences, as evidenced by many studies in European languages. The present study investigates the effect of phonological and orthographic processing on reading speed in 6- to 12-year-old (1 – 5 grades) Russian-speaking children (N = 117), taking into account age as a factor as well. Phonological and orthographic processing were assessed with behavioral tests. The results revealed that both skills predict reading speed in Russian. Moreover, the age of young readers can also be a non-linguistic predictor of reading speed in Russian, especially in children between 6 and 10 years old. Children aged 10 to 12 also demonstrated some variability in reading speed, although an increase in reading speed was no longer observed.
Fiscal And Monetary Policies Effect on Borsa Istanbul (BIST) Performance
Authors: GÜLCEMAL Tuba
Published: October 2021

Our paper examines the impacts of monetary and fiscal policies on Borsa Istanbul (BIST) performance in Turkey. In the established model, government expenditures, tax revenue, budget deficit, money supply (M2), interest rate, gdp growth rate included as independent variables and BIST stock market capitalisation as dependent variable for last 25 years (1995 to 2020). Firstly, Augmented Dickey - Fuller (ADF) and Philips Perron (PP) unit root tests have been performed to the series for stationarity. To confirm long run relationship, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) cointegration technique has been applied. Subsequently, error correction method has been used for analyzing short run relationship between series and causality relationship has been tested by granger casuality test.
The test results, indicate the existence of long run relationship between both policies and stock market performance, while short run relationship exists only between budget deficit and gdp growth rate variables on stock market performance respectively positive and negative impact. The results also pointed out there is a bidirectional causality relationship between budget deficit and stock market performance. GDP growth also is the cause of stock market performance.

An Inventory Production Model for Deteriorating Items Allowing Price Discount with Permissible Delay in Payments
Authors:   Research Scholar, P.G. Department of Statistics, Sambalpur University,Odisha-768019, Behera Janardan
Published: October 2021

The present Paper deals with an inventory production policy for a ramp type deteriorating item over a finite planning horizon with constant demand, finite production rate and shortages are not allowed. The optimal number of production cycles that minimizes the average system cost is determined. The model permits inventory shortage in each cycle, which is completely backlogged within the cycle itself. Every cycle starts with zero stock and production. As production continues, the inventory begins to accumulate after meeting current demands. The excess inventory accumulated during the production period is used to account for demand and deterioration in the no-production period. Numerical examples, tables, and final concluding remarks are discussed in the subsequent sections. Numerical example solved by using Mathematica software.

Published: October 2021

Taxation remains one of the most important source of gathering financial means for a sustainable development. No earthly government can do without the taxes paid by its citizens. However, taxation is not understood in the same way by the government, the tax gatherers, tax payers and the “Man of Nazareth”. This study aims at critically analysing the issue of taxation as perceived by governments (or similar institutions), tax gatherers, tax payers and Jesus basing on the Man of Nazareth by Anthony Burgess.The results of this study show that taxes are important for the governments and every tax payer should consider tax paying as an obligation. Also, the present study concludes that taxes should be used for the purpose they are meant for.

Authors: Vásquez García César Augusto , Hernández Vera René
Published: October 2021

El artículo se propone explorar las prácticas lectoras y escritoras presentes en los procesos histórico-culturales, los mecanismos de difusión de las ideas y los soportes materiales de la cultura libresca que permiten conocer las formas de apropiación de los discursos occidentales por parte de los habitantes de la América hispánica durante los siglos XVI a XVIII. Se asume que esta investigación de carácter documental está soportada en las perspectivas historiográficas de la “historia de las ideas y de las mentalidades” y en la “historia de las prácticas culturales”; propuestas que se han desarrollado en el ámbito de las ciencias sociales y humanas a partir de la perspectiva epistemológica de la “historia cultural”. En consecuencia, el marco epistemológico para desarrollar la investigación tiene un enfoque interdisciplinario en el que convergen herramientas metodológicas y conceptuales de disciplinas tales como Paleografía, Codicología, Historia del libro, Historia cultural, Historia de las ideas, Historia de las mentalidades, Historia de las prácticas culturales y Estética de la recepción. Desde dicho aparato teórico y metodológico, el alcance del trabajo que se presenta es exploratorio, realizado con algunos de los textos originales que se escribieron y leyeron en el periodo de tiempo comprendido por el estudio, los cuales se encuentran en los repositorios de los siguientes fondos: Archivo General de la Nación (AGN), Fondo Colegios; Archivo Histórico Dominico de la Provincia de San Luis Bertrán (AHDPSLB); Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango (BLAA), Sección Libros Raros y Curiosos y; Biblioteca Nacional de Colombia (BNC), Fondo Antiguo.
El cuidado de sí, una mirada desde la virtualidad
Authors: Arango Zuleta Claudia Cecilia , Calle García Jaime Augusto , Gómez Yepes Víctor Hugo
Published: October 2021

Todo ser humano necesita cuidados desde que nace hasta que envejece y en las distintas etapas de su vida se presentan situaciones o hechos que pueden hacerlo más o menos vulnerable; lo que hace que se vuelva una constante la necesidad y el deber de cuidar de sí. Y es que el riesgo es algo inherente a todos indistintamente de la edad, el sexo, ocupación, estado, ya que siempre en cualquier circunstancia que esté alrededor del individuo habrá algo en su entorno que pueda desestabilizarlo física o emocionalmente, de ahí la importancia de analizar qué tipo de riesgos y afectaciones pueden tener las personas que se desenvuelven en el medio virtual desde lo académico o lo laboral, y qué pautas y prácticas tienen sobre el cuidado de sí.La intención en este artículo es realizar un análisis sobre la conciencia y las prácticas del cuidado durante las actividades de tipo virtual. Como se podrá apreciar, la integralidad de las dimensiones del estudio es poca; al indagarlas se encuentran en forma aislada, pero con todo y esto, brindan un panorama sobre lo urgente e importante de volcar la mirada hacia este aspecto, máxime en el contexto actual, a partir de la coyuntura propiciada por la pandemia del Sars Cov-2 Covid-19, que hizo que empresas e instituciones educativas se vieran obligadas a implementar la modalidad virtual en su quehacer, lo cual trae consigo sus propios riesgos. En esta primera parte se ofrece un contexto sobre variables virtualidad, riesgo y cuidado.
Comparison between Bromine, Calcium, Chlorine, Iodine, Potassium, Magnesium, Manganese, and Sodium Contents in Normal Thyroid and Riedel’s Struma
Authors:   Radionuclide Diagnostics Department, Medical Radiological Research Centre, Russia, Zaichick Vladimir
Published: October 2021

Role of chemical elements (ChE) in etiology and pathogenesis of Riedel’s disease (RD) is unclear. The aim of this exploratory study was to assess whether there were significant changes in thyroid tissue levels of eight ChE (Br, Ca Cl, I, K, Mg, Mn, and Na) are present in the fibrotic transformed thyroid. Eight ChE of thyroid tissue were determined in 6 patients with RD. The control group included thyroid tissue samples from 105 healthy individuals. Measurements were conducted using non-destructive instrumental neutron activation analysis with high-resolution spectrometry of short-lived radionuclides. Reduced mean values of Ca and I content in 6.3 and 6.7 times, respectively, while elevated level of Br in 5.1 times were found in thyroid with RD in comparison with normal level. Because considerable changes in some ChE contents in tissue of thyroid with RD were found, it is reasonable to assume that the levels of these ChE in affected thyroid tissue can be used as RD markers. However, this topic needs additional studies.

Published: October 2021

This study aimed to determine the relationship and effect of the GGG variable on the quality of the financial reports in municipal governments in Indonesia by implementing the IIAG (The Ibrahim Index of African Governance) indicator. The variables of this study consist of the participant, legal culture, transparency, responsiveness, public interest orientation, fairness, effectiveness and efficiency, accountability, strategic vision, and human development as independent variables and the quality of financial reports as dependent variables. The method in this study was quantitative, so it was found that partially, only responsive and accountability variables significantly affected the quality of the financial reports. Meanwhile, other independent variables such as participants, legal culture, transparency, public interest orientation, fairness, effectiveness and efficiency, strategic vision, and human development had no significant effect on the quality of financial reports. However, simultaneously, all independent variables had a significant effect on the quality of financial reports. The level of the coefficient of determination obtained was equal to Adj. R2 = 0.299. It means that the quality of local government financial reports was influenced by the independent variable by 29.9%, while 70.1%was influenced by other variables not examined in this study

Multi-Objective Differential Evolution Algorithm with a New Environmental Parameter based Mutation for Solving Optimization Problems
Authors: Singh Avjeet , Lekhraj Lekhraj , Kumar Alok , Kumar Anoj
Published: October 2021

Simultaneous optimization of two or more objectives is an instance of multi-objective optimization (MOO). However, for most of the Multi-Objective Problems (MOPs), no single solution can optimize all the objective functions simultaneously. Evolutionary algorithms are a type of optimization algorithm used for constructing a well-distributed optimal front more quickly than a much more efficient approach. One of the most commonly used algorithms in this regard is differential evolution (DE). To solve the problem of non-dominated sorting for Multi-Objective DE (MODE), an approach is proposed that reduces the time complexity. DE is commonly recognized as one of the best methods for solving the MOPs. Several versions of DEs have been proposed for MOPs. This article proposes a novel mutation technique, named Environmental Parameter-based Multi-Objective Differential Evolution (EP-MODE) that acquires two additional environmental parameters to preserve diversity and accelerate the convergence. The proposed approach also reduces the time complexity of non-dominated sorting for Multi-Objective DE (MODE). The proposed mutation's performance has been evaluated on DTLZ series and ZDT series benchmark test functions on the Pareto-optimal front and compared with existing multi-objective algorithms (MODE and MODE-RMO). The solution comparatively verifies that the proposed EP-MODE outperforms most of the MODEs for lower dimension functions and higher functions.
HIGHLIGHTS

New environmental parameters-based mutation has been introduced in a differential evolution algorithm to solve multi-objective optimization problems (EP-mode)
The addition of two additional environmental parameters to EP-mode has been found to be appropriate for maintaining diversity while also accelerating the convergence rate
EP-MODE evaluated on bi-objective (DTLZ series) and tri-objective (ZDT series) benchmark test functions on the Pareto-optimal front and found EP-MODE's efficiency is higher than that of the MODE algorithm and the MODE algorithm with a ranking-based mutation operator

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Open as a matter of principle
Authors: Langenberg Silke
Published: October 2021

El Marburg Building System es uno de los sistemas constructivos alemanes más pioneros, coherentes y conocidos internacionalmente. Su desarrollo marca el inicio de un proceso en el que se ve duplicado el conjunto de los edificios universitarios alemanes en solo 20 años. El emplazamiento de Marburg Lahnberge fue, posiblemente, el ejemplo más consultado para la planificación universitaria en los años 60 y 70. Sin embargo, pocas veces se aprecian las cualidades de los edificios, siendo poco explotada la facilidad intrínseca del sistema para modificar y adaptarse a los nuevos requerimientos de los usuarios. Pese a ello, es realmente notable la calidad arquitectónica de los edificios construidos en el campus de Lahnberge en Marburg, la coherencia de su estrategia  hasta la escala de detalle, la innovación técnica de la producción en serie de sus elementos de construcción fabricados in situ y el proceso de planificación minucioso para estandarizar todos los componentes del edificio. El principio subyacente de apertura tiene un potencial considerable para prolongar la vida útil de los edificios, si se reparan los defectos existentes. Las ventajas de los edificios, su sistema básico y el concepto base del proyecto pueden no ser obvias, pero al examinarlas desde más de cerca, son innegables. Todo ello podría y debería utilizarse.

Optimizing a three-dimensional spheroid clearing method for the imaging-based evaluation of cardiotoxicity
Authors: Park Ji Hye , Lee Jaemeun , Park Sun-Hyun , Kim Ki-Suk
Published: October 2021

Toxicity evaluation based on two-dimensional cell culture shows differences from clinical results and has the disadvantage of not accurately reflecting cell-to-cell cross-signaling. Since almost all cells in the human body are arranged in a three-dimensional structure and constitute a tissue, the in vitro reproduction of three-dimensional tissues composed of human cells can be used as effective models for drug development and toxicity evaluation. The clearing technique improves image resolution and can be used to generate three-dimensional bio-images throughout the organized structure, improving the efficiency of toxicity evaluation for disease models using spheroids. Herein, we report the first optical spheroid clearing protocol for an image-based toxicity prediction model. In our results, spheroid clearing significantly increased fluorescence intensity and enabled image-based toxicity prediction. We propose that this spheroid clearing method can be utilized for image-based cardiotoxicity evaluation. Furthermore, we also present the possibility that our protocol can be utilized for patient-tailored toxicity prediction.
Critica ideologică în epoca limbajului administrativ de stânga: o istorie New Left a literaturii române contemporane
Authors: Baghiu Ștefan
Published: October 2021

As Teodora Dumitru (2016) has convincingly argued in the case of Romanian literary critic Eugen Lovinescu, the evaluation of literature he proposed along his History of Contemporary Romanian Literature (1926-1929) was guided by a solid liberal and bourgeois drive. Claiming the autonomy of the aesthetics, Lovinescu actually built an urban bourgeois literary canon in his effort to systematize the local literary material. Almost 100 years later, Mihai Iovănel’s History of Contemporary Romanian Literature: 1990-2020 (2021) proceeds to a similar effort, but through the lens of New Left critical theory. Both Lovinescu and Iovănel use what I call the administrative language of their time: Lovinescu uses the urban bourgeois synchronism in order to counter the populists’ movements at the time, while Iovănel uses New Left critique in order to counter the vocabulary of the right-wing populists in contemporary Romania. Those are both the mainstream intelligentsia vocabularies of their time: the liberal discourse was the pillar of developmentalism, while the socialist contemporary vocabulary is more and more put to work in order to secure welfare capitalism. The question that arises is how does Iovănel’s history fulfill its goal of recovering the margins, creating a more democratic canon and imposing intersectionality as a center pillar of literary history, while trying to depart from local provincialism and, thus, gentrifying his research time after time.
Importance of correct registration of voluntary surrender materials by staff of penal system operational units in case of revealing and solving crimes of past years
Authors:   Academy of the FPS of Russia, KOKOREV EVGENY V.
Published: October 2021

A voluntary surrender as a way of reporting a crime contributes to the crime solving rate, the restoration of social justice and the inevitability of responsibility and makes it possible to solve crimes of past years. The work on organizing, receiving, considering and verifying the statements of convicts about their voluntary surrender is of great importance in the activities of the staff of the penal system’s operational units. The aim of the study was to define the importance of the voluntary surrender for the crime solving rate, the peculiarities of the work organization and registration of the voluntary surrender of convicts by operational officers of the penal system. The methodological basis was the research of scientific works, regulatory legal acts, statistical, analytical methods, systematization. The author evaluated the importance of the work carried out by operational divisions of the penal system on receiving, considering and verifying the statements of convicts on voluntary surrender for identifying and solving crimes of past years, identified a number of problematic issues that arise during the registration of materials on voluntary surrender, developed proposals for improving the activities of the penal system’s operational units in the field of processing procedural documents when accepting, considering and verifying voluntary surrender statements. It is proposed to create a unified practical manual for all practical units and cadets of educational institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia on the preparation of documentation of the convict’s voluntary surrender, which will help to avoid errors and will contribute to revealing and solving crimes of past years. Key words: voluntary surrender, the content of the voluntary surrender statement, crimes of past years, the fight against crime, the reception and registration of statements and reports of a crime in prisons, the identification and solving of crimes.

Представлен взгляд авторов на более широкую трактовку дефиниции цифровой образовательной платформы. Накопленный опыт работы использовании ФГОС 3++ показывает, что цифровая платформа – это не столько программное решение, реализующее для пользователей различного уровня подготовки доступ к обучающему материалу, сколько система, позволяющая проектировать и реализовать образовательные программы с учетом требований федеральных образовательных стандартов, а также обеспечить эффективную подготовку специалистов через индивидуализацию образовательных траекторий. Результат статьи — это обобщение опыта авторов по разработке магистерских программ и их реализации в тесном сотрудничестве университета и градообразующего предприятия. Систематизированы подходы к формированию фреймворка компетенций и их реализации через смешанный формат обучения. Решение обозначенной проблемы не представляется возможным без применения новых подходов к описанию (формализации) области исследования. На основании публикаций по рассматриваемому вопросу, с учетом перспективности использования семантического анализа жизненного цикла образовательной программы рекомендуется применение онтологического моделирования. Результаты проведенного исследования могут быть использованы преподавателями-практиками при разработке курсов дисциплин, которые могут быть имплементированы в цифровую образовательную платформу.

The paper presents our approach to an extended definition of the digital learning platform. The experience with the national educational standards (FGOS3++) shows that a digital platform is not just the software to access the educational content, but most of all a system intended to design and offer education programs compliant to FGOS for highquality training through individual curricula. The paper covers the outcomes of our experience with Master’s curriculum development and delivery in collaboration between the university and the large business. We implemented an approach to create a competence framework and offer it as blended learning. Solving this problem requires new approaches to the research area formalization. After analyzing the existing research and considering excellent prospects for semantic analysis of the education program lifecycle we recommend using ontology modeling. Results of the research can be used by tutors who develop courses for digital learning platforms.
Two-way coupled meteorology and air quality models in Asia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of impacts of aerosol feedbacks on meteorology and air quality

Published: October 2021

Abstract. Atmospheric aerosols can exert influence on meteorology and air quality through aerosol-radiation interactions (ARI) and aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) and this two-way feedback has been studied by applying two-way coupled meteorology and air quality models. As one of regions with high aerosol loading in the world, Asia has attracted many researchers to investigate the aerosol effects with several two-way coupled models (WRF-Chem, WRF-CMAQ, GRAPES-CUACE and WRF-NAQPMS) over the last decade. This paper attempts to offer bibliographic analysis regarding the current status of applications of two-way coupled models in Asia, related research focuses, model performances and the effects of ARI or/and ACI on meteorology and air quality. There are total 157 peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2019 in Asia meeting the inclusion criteria, with more than 81 % of papers involving the WRF-Chem model. The number of relevant publications has an upward trend annually and East Asia, India, China, as well as the North China Plain are the most studied areas. The effects of ARI and both ARI and ACI induced by natural aerosols (particularly mineral dust) and anthropogenic aerosols (bulk aerosols, different chemical compositions and aerosols from different sources) are widely investigated in Asia. Through the meta-analysis of surface meteorological and air quality variables simulated by two-way coupled models, the model performance affected by aerosol feedbacks depends on different variables, simulation time lengths, selection of two-way coupled models, and study areas. Future research perspectives with respect to the development, improvement, application, and evaluation of two-way coupled meteorology and air quality models are proposed.
A worldwide meta-analysis (1977–2020) of sediment core dating using fallout radionuclides including 137Cs and 210Pbxs

Published: October 2021

Abstract. Dating recent sediment archives (< 150 years) constitutes a
prerequisite for environmental and climatic reconstructions. Radiocaesium
(137Cs) emitted during thermonuclear bomb testing (∼ 1950–1980) and nuclear accidents and the decrease in excess lead-210
(210Pbxs) with depth are often combined to establish sediment core
chronology. Although these methods have been widely used during the last
several decades, there is a lack of structured and comprehensive worldwide
synthesis of fallout radionuclide analyses used for dating sediment cores in
environmental and Earth sciences. The current literature overview was based
on the compilation of 573 articles published between 1977 and 2020,
reporting the collection of 1351 individual dating sediment cores (the
dataset can be accessed at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.931493; Foucher et al.,
2021). This review was conducted in order to map the locations where
137Cs fallout events were detected. These included the thermonuclear
bomb testing peak in 1963, the Chernobyl accident in 1986, the Fukushima
accident in 2011, and 24 additional events identified at 112 sites that led
to local or regional radioactive releases (e.g., Sellafield accidents,
Chinese nuclear tests). When 210Pbxs records were used along with
137Cs data, detailed information on the 210Pbxs age–depth
models were also synthesized. With the current growing number of studies analyzing sediment cores and the
increasing interest in the deployment of sediment fingerprinting techniques
including radionuclides as potential discriminant properties, this
spatialized synthesis provides a unique worldwide compilation for
characterizing fallout radionuclide sources and levels at the global scale.
This synthesis provides in particular a reference of 137Cs peak
attribution for improving the sediment core dating, and it outlines the main
questions that deserve attention in future research as well as the regions
where additional 137Cs fallout investigations should be conducted in
priority.

Abstract. If you are a geoscientist doing work to achieve impact
outside academia or engaging different audiences with the geosciences, are
you planning to make this publishable? If so, then plan. Such investigations
into how people (academics, practitioners, other publics) respond to
geoscience can use pragmatic, simple research methodologies accessible to
the non-specialist or be more complex. To employ a medical analogy, first
aid is useful and the best option in some scenarios, but calling a medic
(i.e. a collaborator with experience of geoscience communication or relevant
research methods) provides the contextual knowledge to identify a condition
and opens up a diverse, more powerful range of treatment options. Here, we
expand upon the brief advice in the first editorial of Geoscience Communication (Illingworth et al., 2018), illustrating what constitutes robust and publishable work in
this context, elucidating its key elements. Our aim is to help geoscience
communicators plan a route to publication and to illustrate how good
engagement work that is already being done might be developed into
publishable research.
Object-based analysis of simulated thunderstorms in Switzerland: application and validation of automated thunderstorm tracking with simulation data

Published: October 2021

Abstract. We present a feasibility study for an object-based method to
characterise thunderstorm properties in simulation data from
convection-permitting weather models. An existing thunderstorm
tracker, the Thunderstorm Identification, Tracking, Analysis and
Nowcasting (TITAN) algorithm, was applied to thunderstorms simulated
by the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting (AR-WRF)
weather model at convection-permitting resolution for a domain centred
on Switzerland. Three WRF microphysics parameterisations were
tested. The results are compared to independent radar-based
observations of thunderstorms derived using the MeteoSwiss
Thunderstorms Radar Tracking (TRT) algorithm. TRT was specifically
designed to track thunderstorms over the complex Alpine topography of
Switzerland. The object-based approach produces statistics on the
simulated thunderstorms that can be compared to object-based
observation data. The results indicate that the simulations
underestimated the occurrence of severe and very large hail compared
to the observations. Other properties, including the number of storm
cells per day, geographical storm hotspots, thunderstorm diurnal
cycles, and storm movement directions and velocities, provide a
reasonable match to the observations, which shows the feasibility of
the technique for characterisation of simulated thunderstorms over
complex terrain.
Roughness of fracture surfaces in numerical models and laboratory experiments
Authors: Abe Steffen , Deckert Hagen
Published: October 2021

Abstract. We investigate the influence of stress conditions during fracture formation on
the geometry and roughness of fracture surfaces. Rough fracture surfaces have
been generated in numerical simulations of triaxial deformation experiments
using the discrete element method and in a small number of laboratory
experiments on limestone and sandstone samples. Digital surface models of the
rock samples fractured in the laboratory experiments were produced using
high-resolution photogrammetry. The roughness of the surfaces was analyzed in terms
of absolute roughness measures such as an estimated joint roughness
coefficient (JRC) and in terms of its scaling properties. The results show
that all analyzed surfaces are self-affine but with different Hurst exponents
between the numerical models and the real rock samples. Results from numerical
simulations using a wide range of stress conditions to generate the fracture
surfaces show a weak decrease of the Hurst exponents with increasing confining
stress and a larger absolute roughness for transversely isotropic stress
conditions compared to true triaxial conditions. Other than that, our results
suggest that stress conditions have little influence on the surface roughness
of newly formed fractures.
The Subhercynian Basin: an example of an intraplate foreland basin due to a broken plate
Authors: Hindle David , Kley Jonas
Published: October 2021

Abstract. The Late Cretaceous intraplate shortening event in central western Europe is associated with a number of marine basins of relatively high amplitude and short wavelength (2–3 km depth and 20–100 km width). In particular, the Harz Mountains, a basement uplift on a single, relatively steeply dipping basement thrust, have filled the adjacent Subhercynian Cretaceous Basin with their erosive product, proving that the two were related and synchronous. The problem of generating subsidence of this general style and geometry in an intraplate setting is dealt with here by using an elastic flexural model conditioned to take account of basement thrusts as weak zones in the lithosphere. Using a relatively simple configuration of this kind, we reproduce many of the basic features of the Subhercynian Cretaceous Basin and related basement thrusts. As a result, we suggest that overall, it shares many characteristics with larger-scale foreland basins associated with collisional orogens on plate boundaries.

Abstract. Low soil fertility is challenging the sustainable production of yam and other staple crops in the yam belt of West Africa. Quantitative soil measures are needed to assess soil fertility decline and to improve crop nutrient supply in the region. We developed and tested a mid-infrared (mid-IR) soil spectral library to enable timely and cost-efficient assessments of soil properties. Our collection included 80 soil samples from four landscapes (10 km × 10 km) and 20 fields per landscape across a gradient from humid forest to savannah and 14 additional samples from one landscape that had been sampled within the Land Health Degradation Framework. We derived partial least squares regression models to spectrally estimate soil properties. The models produced accurate cross-validated estimates of total carbon, total nitrogen, total sulfur, total iron, total aluminum, total potassium, total calcium, exchangeable calcium, effective cation exchange capacity, and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable iron and clay content (R2>0.75). The estimates of total zinc, pH, exchangeable magnesium, bioavailable copper, and manganese were less predictable (R2>0.50). Our results confirm that mid-IR spectroscopy is a reliable and quick method to assess the regional-level variation of most soil properties, especially the ones closely associated with soil organic matter. Although the relatively small mid-IR library shows satisfactory performance, we expect that frequent but small model updates will be needed to adapt the library to the variation of soil quality within individual fields in the regions and their temporal fluctuations.
Evaluating the Long-Term Effectiveness of the SGA Enhanced Services Model in Kentucky: A Follow-Up Study on the SGA Demonstration Project
Authors: Scott Kellie
Published: October 2021

During federal fiscal year (FY) 2016 and 2017, the Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (KY OVR) implemented the Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) Project, providing enhanced services to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients who also applied for services through the general Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agency. Short-term evaluative efforts revealed that consumers receiving enhanced services were more likely to be competitively employed, achieving slightly higher earnings and in a shorter period. This longer-term follow-up study indicated promising results, noting sustained differences in wages and time to employment. Higher wages and a faster path to employment can positively impact the economic outcomes of individuals receiving SSDI benefits through innovative VR service and support models.
