THE MONASTERY OF MAR SABA -SOUTH EAST OF JERUSALEM :THE AVANT GARDE OF THE JERUSALEMITE MONASTRIES
Authors: AL-ASSA Aziz
Published: November 2021

This scientific paper aims to identify an important monastery that was established in the fifth century AD southeast of Jerusalem i.e. two centuries before the arrival of Islam. That monastery is: Mar Saba Monastery: After Saint Saba (439-532 A.D.) who lived an ascetic life in a cave 15 kilometers southeast of Jerusalem over a valley that extends from the foothill of Mount Al-Tur in Jerusalem and runs into the Dead Sea. The Valley is mentioned in the Bible as “Kidron” while others call it “Yehushevat” or the Valley of Tears (People call it now Wadi Al-Nar or the Inferno Valley ). Saint Saba was followed by other monks who lived in the surrounding caves. In 483 A.D. Saint Saba and his followers began to build a monastery in the place which became of its proximity to Jerusalem. It hosted a large number of monks from different denominations, and contained a distinguished library throughout history. That monastery became a place of pilgrimages for travelers, researchers, and Jerusalem visitors over a period of sixteen centuries. It was also known for Christian pilgrims, since it hosted thousands of monks. This study also aims to provide sufficient data about Saint Saba and his monastery. It also discusses how the monastery was developed throughout history, its pertinence to Jerusalem, and the role it played in attracting tourists and travelers to the Holy Land as well as in the cultural development in Jerusalem and the vicinity. Keywords: Jerusalem (Bayt al-maqdes), Monastery, Mar Saba

Authors: Feijó Carla dos Santos , Scheffer Angela Beatriz Busato , Moraes Jhony Pereira , Andrade Arthur Gehrke Martins
Published: November 2021

Este estudo tem por objetivo entender como auditores externos de empresas Big Four percebem a sua carreira e qual a relação com a gestão de pessoas nessas organizações. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória-descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 14 contadores, com experiência mínima de dois anos de trabalho em uma Big Four. Os resultados mostram que o trabalho em uma Big Four exige um conjunto de competências, principalmente técnicas e conceituais, mas também ligadas à atitude, não só para a formação da trajetória de carreira como também para a automanutenção do trabalhador nesse ambiente profissional. As políticas de treinamento e desenvolvimento se destacaram na opinião dos participantes, que se referem a elas como os principais atributos de atração, até mesmo sobrepondo-se à remuneração. A carreira numa Big Four é tipicamente organizacional (tradicional), entretanto, ela vem se modelando a partir das características das outras concepções de carreira: proteana, sem fronteiras, caleidoscópica e sustentável.

Published: November 2021

Employing a transregional and interdisciplinary approach, this volume explores indigenous and black confraternities –or lay Catholic brotherhoods– founded in colonial Spanish America and Brazil between the sixteenth and eighteenth century. It presents a varied group of cases of religious confraternities founded by subaltern subjects, both in rural and urban spaces of colonial Latin America, to understand the dynamics and relations between the peripheral and central areas of colonial society, underlying the ways in which colonialized subjects navigated the colonial domain with forms of social organization and cultural and religious practices. The book analyzes indigenous and black confraternal cultural practices as forms of negotiation and resistance shaped by local devotional identities that also transgressed imperial religious and racial hierarchies. The analysis of these practices explores the intersections between ethnic identity and ritual devotion, as well as how the establishment of black and indigenous religious confraternities carried the potential to subvert colonial discourse.

Published: November 2021

Migration in the 21st century is one of the pre-eminent issues of our present historical moment, a phenomenon that has acquired new urgency with accelerating climate change, civil wars, and growing economic scarcities. Refugees and Migrants in Contemporary Film, Art and Media consists of eleven essays that explore how artists have imaginatively engaged with this monumental human drama, examining a range of alternative modes of representation that provide striking new takes on the experiences of these precarious populations. Covering prominent art works by Ai Weiwei and Richard Mosse, and extending the spectrum of representation to refugee film workshops on the island of Lésbos as well as virtual reality installations of Alejandro G. Iñárritu and works by Balkan and Turkish directors, such as Melisa Önel, the chapters included here focus on the power of aesthetic engagement to illuminate the stories of refugees and migrants in ways that overturn journalistic clichés.

Authors: George Geo Allen , Yusuff Aza Sherin , Shoesmith Wendy , Hossain Parash M Tanveer
Published: November 2021

Approximately 50% patients with psychotic illnesses on antipsychotic drugs have an increased risk of obesity. This study aimed to determine changes in body weight, body fat percentage and lipid profiles and to stress the importance of early nutrition intervention in the management of psychotic illness patient treated with antipsychotic drugs. This is a prospective longitudinal study conducted for 3 months in Hospital Mesra Bukit Padang, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. A total of 150 patients with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV (DSM-IV) diagnosis of psychotic illness (either Olanzapine or Risperidone only at any dosage) first started or restarted after a treatment gap of at least 6 months were recruited. Weight, height and body fat percentage were measured using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) (Model Omron HBF-375) and blood fasting lipid test were taken from the point of starting medication for 12 weeks. Data were analysed using repeated measures of ANOVA for statistical method. All variables showed significant mean differences (p < 0.05) in increasing pattern throughout the 12 weeks of treatment. However, the total cholesterol of risperidone patients had no significant mean difference from initial to week 6 (p = 0.282). It was proven that there was increase in body weight, body fat percentage and lipid profiles among patients on olanzapine and risperidone. The limitation of this study might relate to the drugsâ€™ dosage and method used in assessing the body composition. It is suggested that early nutrition intervention is needed to control unnecessary gain of weight, body fat and lipid profiles in the management of patient with psychotic illnesses.

Authors: Muniandy Sadesvaran , Hoon Yvonne Teo Chiang , Suleman Aehtoosham , Ramaiah Prakash Doddaballapur
Published: November 2021

Ovarian cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women in Peninsular Malaysia. Epithelial ovarian cancer accounts for 90% of all ovarian tumours. Herein, we present a rapidly growing ovarian tumour in a young female patient, following an uneventful vaginal delivery at home. We discuss on the challenges of making said diagnosis in a post-partum patient who presented with abdomen distension. A 19-yearold lady presented to the Emergency Department three days after spontaneous vaginal delivery at home. Her chief complaint was that of a rapidly progressive abdominal distension. Diagnostic and therapeutic emergency laparotomy were done, revealing a huge cystic ovarian mass. Histopathology reported a high grade, serous ovarian carcinoma. There are multiple causes for abdominal distension in post-partum women, however priority should be given into looking for gynaecological origin, given the changes in hormone. Sudden abdominal distension during post-partum period is rare and a systemic approach in its management is vital. There is, inarguably, a role of diagnostic and therapeutic laparotomy in this.

Published: November 2021

Apoptosis is a programmed cell death which occurs following a variety of stimuli. Physiologically the process is important for morphogenesis of organs and homeostasis of different types of cells. Apoptotic cell death is responsible for a variety of pathologic states such as elimination of cell death in mutated cells, infected cells, tumour cells and transplant rejection well as the pathological atrophy. In this review, there is discussion about the control of apoptosis, detection methods of apoptosis, its association with infectious and non-communicable diseases. Intracellular microorganisms survive through inhibition of host cell apoptosis as well as they destroy the parenchymal cells causing impaired functions. It plays important role in tumourigenesis. There are possible therapeutic roles of drugs that modify apoptosis in human diseases.

Authors: Shalihin Mohd Shaiful Ehsan bin , Nik Mohamed Mohamad Haniki bin
Published: November 2021

The number of active smokers in Malaysia is increasing despite the availability of stop smoking clinics and smoking cessation medications. Other than smokersâ€™ level of motivation to quit smoking, competency of the healthcare professionals involved in providing smoking cessation intervention using evidence-based guidelines need to be considered. Hence, knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of the healthcare providers in relation to existing clinical practice guidelines on smoking cessation should be assessed. In this review, we look at the factors contributing to the KAP of medical personnel on the guidelines and also the previously available assessment tool, mainly in the form of a validated questionnaire, for the purpose of applying it to the context of the Malaysian healthcare providers.
Dengue!!! A Current Threat with Previous Experience
Authors: Shimmi Sadia Choudhury , Ibrahim Mohd Yusuf , Ahmed Kamruddin
Published: November 2021

Dengue is a global health problem. Some countries describe it as â€˜endemicâ€™ where other countries as 'epidemic' according to the prevalence of the disease1. Dengue virus transmitted by the infected female Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, belongs to the genus Flavivirus which is an envelope positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus. Rainy season (June to October) is the prime time of spreading the infection in Southeast Asia. Four serotypes of dengue viruses (DEN1, DEN-2, DEN-3 and DEN-4) are able to infect humans and cause dengue haemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome like severe infections. Moreover, cross-reactive antibodies (IgM and IgG) produce against other serotype when infection occurs with one serotype. This is one of the diagnostic problem for acute dengue2. Some researchers experienced that without warning signs and mild symptoms were found in DEN-1, severe dengue was found in DEN-2 patients as compared to other serotypes and musculoskeletal symptoms were prominent in DEN-3 infected patients. So that different receptors or organs are targeted to establish infection by different dengue serotypes3. This virus circulates in the blood of an infected person for 2 â€“ 7 days, at that time the infected person develops a fever. After appearance of the first symptoms (for 4 â€“ 5 days; maximum 12 days), infected patients can transmit the infection via Aedes mosquitoes1 dengue virus infection in humans ranging from clinically asymptomatic or transient nonspecific febrile illness to classical dengue fever (DF) and dengue haemorrhagic fever/ dengue shock syndrome (DHF/ DSS). Fever, headache, rash, bone and muscle pains with or without abdominal pain are the general clinical presentation of patients with DF and early DHF/DSS. Haemorrhagic manifestations such as haematuria, bleeding gums, epistaxis, hematemesis, melena, and ecchymosis develop in DHF. DHF patients develop thrombocytopaenia and haemoconcentration. Some patients may progress into DSS, leading to profound shock and death if not diagnosed or treated properly2.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common spinal deformity among teenager. For those indicated, early surgical intervention allows better surgical correction due to flexibility of the spine during teenage years, hence good functional outcome and better cosmetic can be expected. In this case report, there is the management of four patients surgically using the posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion. Pre-operatively patients were examined at IIUM Medical Centre spine clinic, all necessary investigations were carried out. A thorough explanation was done to patient and parents regarding procedure, risk and benefit. All patients were treated using the same surgical technique. Neuromonitoring was used throughout the whole surgery until skin closure. All patients were hospitalized around one week. Post-operatively patients were followed up at two weeks, six weeks, three months, and every six months thereafter. It is important for clinicians to identify patients with AIS as early detection and timely treatment will change the natural history of curve progression. Surgical intervention when necessary will be easier and with less risk of complications when surgery was carried out during teenage years as the spine is more flexible and the deformity is less severe.

Authors:   , Mutsvairigwa Patience
Published: November 2021

The main aim of the study was to investigate the impact of recruitment policies and induction programmes on employee retention. The Durban Central Fire Station was used as a case study for this investigation. Relevant literature from periodicals, journals, textbooks, theses and dissertations was reviewed. A quantitative research design was adopted for this study through the administration of a pre-coded structured closed-ended questionnaire to the 126 employees at the Durban Central Fire Department. Only 110 of the 126 administered questionnaires were returned. However, of the returned questionnaires, 5 were discarded due to incomplete responses and the final questionnaire returns numbered 105, which resulted in an 83.3% response rate. The data collected from respondents were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0 in order to conduct non-parametric tests for testing the generated hypotheses. In total, 13 hypotheses were formulated for this study’s empirical analysis. Furthermore, the Pearson’s Chi-square and Spearman correlation tests were carried out on the formulated hypotheses to ascertain whether a statistically significant relationship existed between the variables. The study’s notable findings showed that a positive relationship existed between recruitment policies and employee retention, hence recruitment policies do have an impact on employee retention. The findings also showed that a moderately significant relationship existed between induction programmes and employee retention at the Durban Central Fire Department. Based on the findings, the researcher then recommended that the Durban Central Fire department should clarify expectations to its employees, encourage socialisation and positive work relationships, increase the duration of the induction programme and conduct exit interviews. The researcher concluded the study with suggestions for future research.

ВИЗНАЧЕННЯ РОЛІ МОЛОДІ В СУСПІЛЬСТВІ В УМОВАХ ПОЛІТИЧНОЇ НЕВИЗНАЧЕНОСТІ Й ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ФОРМУВАННЯ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ МОЛОДІЖНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ
Authors: Біла Дар’я Олегівна
Published: November 2021

У статті наведено розв’язання актуальної наукової проблеми визначення ролі молоді в суспільстві в умовах полі- тичної невизначеності й особливості формування державної молодіжної політики. Авторка визначила, що державна молодіжна політика − це система інститутів, що містить різноманітні еле- менти (навчально-педагогічні, політично-правові, інституційно-організаційні й фінансово-економічні), вона чинить управлінський вплив на молодь як унікальний феномен суспільства для забезпечення максимально повного використання молоді як потенціалу й ресурсу для досягнення управлінської мети. У статті доведено, що з боку публічного управління молодь виступає одночасно і як ключовий об’єкт управлін- ського впливу, і як активний, гнучкий і потужний ресурс і потенціал суспільно-економічної та політичної дії. Саме цей суб’єкт – об’єктна роль молоді в суспільстві й у публічному управлінні – робить її найчутливішою до політичних та економічних змін, швидкою під час реагування на заклики й ситуативні дії. Політична невизначеність або кри- за, які загострюють суперечності й проблеми в суспільстві, є ключовими чинниками зростання активності моло- ді щодо участі в суспільно-економічних процесах і стають загрозою ймовірної швидкої ідеологічної «поляризації» молоді. Це може сприяти залученню молоді як цінного ресурсу в «арсенал» публічного управління або привести до його втрати. Авторкою узагальнені ключові особливості формування державної молодіжної політики в умовах політичної та економічної невизначеності чи кризи, які потребують реалізації як через інститути молодіжної політики, так і за участі інших інститутів публічного управління. Ці особливості умовно поділено на два блоки: – стратегічно орієнтований, ідеологічний блок, який формується та реалізується впродовж декількох поко- лінь, сприяє спрямуванню потенціалу молоді на творчість, генерацію позитивних ідей і змін з урахуванням об’єкт- суб’єктності молоді й дозволяє усунути загрози її можливої ідеологічної «поляризації»; – тактично спрямований, соціально-економічний блок, який потребує коротко- й середньотермінового вирішен- ня та сприяє створенню соціально-економічних умов соціального становлення та розвитку молодих громадян України в інтересах особистості, суспільства й держави.
ПОРІВНЯЛЬНИЙ АНАЛІЗ ПСИХОМЕТРИЧНИХ МОЖЛИВОСТЕЙ МЕТОДИК ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ СТУПЕНЯ ЗАДОВОЛЕНОСТІ ПОТРЕБ
Authors: Нікольська Анна Дмитрівна
Published: November 2021

У статті проведено порівняльний аналіз двох найчастіше використовуваних методик, спрямованих на досліджен- ня ступеня задоволеності потреб особистості, – «Ієрархія потреб» у модифікації І.А. Акіндінової та «Методики експрес-діагностики потреб і мотиваційної сфери особистості МQТ – Maslow quick test» (А. Chapman). За допомогою кількісної та якісної обробки отриманих результатів було визначено переваги й недоліки кожної з методик і зроблено вибір на користь однієї з них. За допомогою методів математичної статистики проведено порівняльний аналіз між схожими шкалами. Результати демонструють, що між шкалами методик є незначні розбіжності. Проте шкали зі схожими назвами корелюють між собою, що дає змогу говорити про можливість використання методики на розсуд дослідника. У статті представлено опис пілотного дослідження, яке було проведено з метою визначення методології, яка най- кращим чином відповідала б меті вивчення потреб окремої людини. Однак широкий спектр запропонованих методів породжує проблему пошуку дійсного й надійного інструменту дослідження, адекватного його меті. Таким чином, готуючись до емпіричного дослідження, експериментатор повинен уважно прочитати не тільки опис методу та його тлумачення, а й дослідження вчених, які мали на меті перевірити правильність запропонованих психодіагностичних методів. Тому мета статті – розглянути особливості тестових методів дослідження сфери потреб особистості, емпірично порівняти діагностичні можливості методик «Ієрархія потреб» у модифікації І.А. Акіндінової та «Мето- дики експрес-діагностики потреб і мотиваційної сфери особистості МQТ – Maslow quick test» (А. Chapman). Осно- вними методами для виконання поставленого завдання є загальнонаукові методи синтезу, порівняння, узагальнення; використано методи кількісної обробки, математичної статистики.

Визначено, що жит- тєва перспектива в структурі психологічного благополуччя відіграє роль прискорювача реалізації бажаних почуттів, станів психологічного комфорту. Життєва перспектива містить обставини й умови життя, що створюють для особистості, за інших рівних умов, можливість оптимального життєвого просування. Вона відкривається тому, хто має власну життєву позицію, яка цілісно визначає майбутнє особистості. Аналізуються особливості характеристик груп молоді з низьким і високим рівнем психологічного благополуччя. Був визначений рівень психологічного благополуччя в групі студентів, і розділено її на дві групи: з високим і низьким рівнем розкриття ролі, місця та впливу життєвих перспектив особистості на психологічне благополуччя саме в цей віковий період. Створено висновки, пов’язані з інтер- претацією, поясненням, тлумаченням зібраної інформації, відтворенням загальної картини розвитку психологічного благополуччя та впливом життєвих перспектив на цей процес. Життєва перспектива – це цілісна картина май- бутнього. Вона формується в складному суперечливому взаємозв’язку очікуваних і планованих подій, розглядається в єдності ціннісно-смислових та організаційно-діяльнісних аспектів. Психологічне благополуччя формується в ціліс- ності зв’язку минулого, теперішнього й майбутнього життя людини. Фактор сприйняття позитивного минулого показує рівень сприйняття її власного минулого. Це допомагає розвитку психологічного благополуччя. На різних жит- тєвих етапах змінюються життєві цілі й стратегії їх досягнення, що й формує цю гнучкість у поведінці людини. Зміна цілей у житті формує життєвий план особистості.

У статті наведено розв’язання актуальної наукової проблеми прояву конфліктної поведінки в підлітків. Проаналізо- вано науково-прикладні підходи вивчення сутності поняття конфлікту, визначено об’єкт, предмет конфлікту, поняття «конфліктна ситуація», стадії конфлікту. Також у роботі розглянуто прояви агресивної поведінки підлітків як наслідок конфліктної ситуації, виділено види агресії. Зазначено, що найбільшою агресивністю відрізняються 12–15-річні підлітки- хлопчики, в яких переважає фізична агресія, що з віком згасає, а в дівчаток із віком спостерігається зростання цієї форми агресії. До 15–18 років у хлопчиків відбувається сплеск вербальної агресії. У разі спаду непрямої агресії в хлопчиків йде значне збільшення її в дівчаток. Негативізм значно проявляють хлопчики у всі вікові періоди. Розглянуто конфлікт у системі «учитель – учні», «учень – учень», де зображено основні причини таких конфліктів. Окрема увага приділяється специфіці конфліктів у шкільному житті. У ньому виділяють прості конфлікти (вирішують- ся самим учителем – сварка між школярами, бійка й інше) і складні конфлікти (конфлікти діяльності, конфлікти поведін- ки, вчинків; конфлікти взаємин; мотиваційні конфлікти; конфлікти, пов’язані з переходом в іншу навчально-вікову групу; конфлікти взаємодії; конфлікти, пов’язані із запровадженням у навчанні й вихованні учнів інноваційних технологій). Наявність агресивності й конфліктності в підлітків – це специфіка протікання вікового періоду. Такі явища під- лягають корекції, тому дуже важливим є психолого-педагогічний супровід, клімат у родині, відносини з однолітками й учителями. У зв’язку із цим виникає необхідність подальшого вивчення проблеми й розробки індивідуальних і групових заходів, що сприяють зниженню конфліктності й агресивності в підлітковому віці.

Abstract. Large microwave surface emissivities with a highly heterogeneous
distribution and the relatively small hydrometeor signal over land make it
challenging to use satellite microwave data to retrieve precipitation and to
be assimilated into numerical models. To better understand the microwave
emissivity over land surfaces, we designed and established a ground
observation system for the in situ observation of microwave emissivities
over several typical surfaces. The major components of the system include a
dual-frequency polarized ground microwave radiometer, a mobile observation
platform, and auxiliary sensors to measure the surface temperature and soil
temperature and moisture; moreover, observation fields are designed
comprising five different land surfaces. Based on the observed data from the mobile system, we preliminarily
investigated the variations in the surface microwave emissivity over
different land surfaces. The results show that the horizontally polarized
emissivity is more sensitive to land surface variability than the
vertically polarized emissivity is: the former decreases to 0.75 over cement
and increases to 0.90 over sand and bare soil and up to 0.97 over grass. The
corresponding emissivity polarization difference is obvious over water
(>0.3) and cement (approximately 0.25) but reduces to 0.1 over
sand and 0.05 over bare soil and almost 0.01 or close to zero over grass;
this trend is similar to that of the Tb polarization difference. At
different elevation angles, the horizontally/vertically polarized
emissivities over land surfaces obviously increase/slightly decrease with
increasing elevation angles but exhibit the opposite trend over water.

Abstract. An efficient recognition and extraction of the estuarine
turbidity maximum zone (TMZ) is important for studying terrestrial
hydrological processes. Although many studies relevant to the TMZ have been
conducted worldwide, the extraction methods and criteria used to describe
the TMZ vary significantly both spatially and temporally. To improve the
applicability of the methods adopted in previous studies and to develop a
novel model to accurately extract the TMZ in multiple estuaries and different
seasons from remote-sensing imageries, this study estimated the total
suspended solid (TSS) and chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations in three
estuaries. These were the Pearl River estuary (PRE), the Hanjiang River estuary (HRE), and the Moyangjiang River estuary (MRE) of Guangdong
Province, China. The spatial distribution characteristics of the TSS and
Chl a concentrations were analyzed. A nearly opposite association was found
between the TSS and Chl a concentrations in the three estuaries, particularly
in the PRE. The regions with high (low) TSS concentrations had relatively
low (high) Chl a concentrations and, therefore, a turbidity maximum zone index
(TMZI), defined as the ratio of the difference and sum of the logarithmic
transformation of the TSS and Chl a concentrations, was firstly proposed. By
calculating the TMZI values in the PRE on 20 November 2004 (low-flow
season), it was found that the criterion TMZI>0.2 could be
used to identify the TMZs of the PRE effectively. The TMZ extraction results
were generally consistent with the visual-interpretation results. The
area-based accuracy measures showed that the quality (Q) of the extraction
reached 0.8429. The same criterion was applied in the PRE on 18 October
2015 (high-flow season), and high accuracy and consistency across seasons
were observed (Q=0.8171). The western shoal of the PRE was the main
distribution area of TMZs. Extracting TMZs by the newly proposed index
performed well in different estuaries and on different dates (HRE on
13 August 2008 in the high-flow season and MRE on 6 December 2013 in the low-flow
season). Compared to the previous fixed threshold of TSS or turbidity
methods, extracting the TMZ using the TMZI had higher accuracy and better
applicability (Q: 0.1046–0.4770 vs. 0.8171–0.8429). Evidently, this
unified TMZI is potentially an optimized method for the global monitoring
and extraction of TMZs of estuaries from different satellite remote-sensing
imageries. It can be used to help the understanding of the spatial and
temporal variation in TMZs and estuarine processes at regional and global
scales as well as improve the management and sustainable development of
regional society and the natural environment.
Results from a wake-steering experiment at a commercial wind plant: investigating the wind speed dependence of wake-steering performance

Abstract. Wake steering is a wind farm control strategy in which upstream wind turbines are misaligned with the wind to redirect their wakes away from downstream turbines, thereby increasing the net wind plant power production and reducing fatigue loads generated by wake turbulence. In this paper, we present results from a wake-steering experiment at a commercial wind plant involving two wind turbines spaced 3.7 rotor diameters apart. During the 3-month experiment period, we estimate that wake steering reduced wake losses by 5.6 % for the wind direction sector investigated. After applying a long-term correction based on the site wind rose, the reduction in wake losses increases to 9.3 %. As a function of wind speed, we find large energy improvements near cut-in wind speed, where wake steering can prevent the downstream wind turbine from shutting down. Yet for wind speeds between 6–8 m/s, we observe little change in performance with wake steering. However, wake steering was found to improve energy production significantly for below-rated wind speeds from 8–12 m/s. By measuring the relationship between yaw misalignment and power production using a nacelle lidar, we attribute much of the improvement in wake-steering performance at higher wind speeds to a significant reduction in the power loss of the upstream turbine as wind speed increases. Additionally, we find higher wind direction variability at lower wind speeds, which contributes to poor performance in the 6–8 m/s wind speed bin because of slow yaw controller dynamics. Further, we compare the measured performance of wake steering to predictions using the FLORIS (FLOw Redirection and Induction in Steady State) wind farm control tool coupled with a wind direction variability model. Although the achieved yaw offsets at the upstream wind turbine fall short of the intended yaw offsets, we find that they are predicted well by the wind direction variability model. When incorporating the expected yaw offsets, estimates of the energy improvement from wake steering using FLORIS closely match the experimental results.

The effects of pedestrian and bicycle exposure on crash risk in Minneapolis
Authors: Tao Tao , Lindsey Greg , Cao Jason , Wang Jueyu
Published: November 2021

Exposure to risk is a theoretically important correlate of crash risk, but many safety performance functions (SPFs) for pedestrian and bicycle traffic have yet to include the mode-specific measures of exposure. When SPFs are used in the systematic approach to assess network-wide crash risk, the omission of the exposure potentially could affect the identification of high-risk locations. Using crash data from Minneapolis, this study constructs and compares two sets of SPFs, one with pedestrian and bicycle exposure variables and the other without, for network-wide intersection and mid-block crash models. Inclusion of mode-specific exposure variables improves model validity and measures of goodness-of-fit and increases accuracy of predictions of pedestrian and bicycle crash risk. Including these exposure variables in the SPFs changes the distribution of high-risk locations, including the proportion of high-risk locations in low-income and racially concentrated areas. These results confirm the importance of incorporating exposure measures within SPFs and the need for pedestrian and bicycle monitoring programs to generate exposure data.
