Objective To compare the concentration of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL-c) obtained using the Friedewald formula with those obtained directly with the RAYTO CHEMRAY 120 autoanalyzer. Methods Cross-sectional study. We evaluated outpatients with a medical request for a lipid profile study (total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL). The analyses were carried out in a RAYTO CHEMRAY 120 autoanalyzer under the principle of spectrophotometry. We obtained LDL-c using the Friedewald and Vujovic formulas. Results We evaluated 199 individuals whose direct LDL concentration averages were measured by the RAYTO CHEMRAY 120 equipment. Those calculated by the Friedewald and Vujovic formulas were 129.97 ± 32.66, 119.28 ± 30.44, and 127.01 ± 32.01, respectively, and in all cases, significant differences (P < 0.001) were observed with the RAYTO analyzer. In both cases a low positive bias was found with the RAYTO analyzer.. The Passing-Bablok and Deming's regressions showed a linear correlation between both methods (Friedewald and Vujovic) with the LDL values obtained with the Rayto autoanalyzer. Conclusions Our study found that the Friedewald and Vujovic methods are good predictors of LDL cholesterol levels and have a low level of bias. Therefore, they could be used as potential predictors.

Published: May 2024

Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, New Delhi is one of the busiest Airport in the world is being affected by severe fog in every winter season which results significant disruption to the aviation activities. In this view, a fog characteristics study has been performed during the winter seasons from 2010 to 2022 using the available Meteorological Aerodrome Report (METAR) data at IGI Airport. To better understand the trend in fog characteristics, a detailed analysis on monthly fog frequency, inter winter season comparison, fog duration and inter annual variability based on both fog days and duration have also been carried out. An increasing trend in fog frequency and duration for all categories of fog has been observed from November to January followed by a decrease in February. However, the fog frequency and duration of moderate, dense and very dense fog have been observed to be still higher in February in comparison to November. Further, an increasing trend in fog frequency during 2010-17 season followed by a significant reduction in 2017-22 has also been identified. Moreover, the trend in duration of shallow and moderate fog remains similar during the entire period of study whereas the dense and very dense fog have shown the similar characteristics during 2010-22 except in 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. Finally, all these better understanding on the fog characteristics can lead to substantial improvements on various fog now-casting/forecasting activities.

Published: May 2024

Geomatic tools have emerged effectively in the identification and delineation of drainage character and groundwater potential zone. The present investigation highlights the integration and feasibility of remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques in hydrogeological studies, particularly in delineation of groundwater prospective zones in Kanchi River Sub Basin, Khunti- Ranchi, district, Jharkhand. Integrating various hydrogeological parameters such as lithology, drainage, soil, lineament, slope and other related features can be fruitful in assessing the groundwater prospective of large area.
Geologically the study area is dominated by Precambrian lithounits such as granite gneisses, schists and quartzites showing multiple phase deformation and magmatism. In present study, seven major geotechnical elements were selected such as Lineaments, soil, geomorphology, lithology, drainage, slope and LULC. The thematic maps were prepared by Visual Image Interpretation techniques and were integrated in GIS environment. The sources for these data were existing thematic maps, satellite images-IRS-P6, LISS-III 17th January, 2021, LANDSAT 8 and topographic maps of Survey of India (SOI) in 1:50,000 scale. Five Potential zones have been demarcated using AHP weighted linear combination of the various thematic layers. The hydrogeological parameter index of the present area indicates that regions having high lineament density within dissected hills and valleys are the most promising site for groundwater occurrence. The study categorically concludes that about 50% of the area has moderate to high groundwater potential. The result obtained is in conformity with the existing dug and bore well data. The present study highlights the importance and usefulness of weighted index as a model for identification of potential groundwater zones in similar hydrogeological conditions.

Prioritization of Watershed for GWPZ Through Remote Sensing, GIS and Integrated Weighted Sum Approach: A Case Study of Dhodana River Basin, Central India
Authors: Fuladi Apurva
Published: May 2024

The Dhodana watershed is a part of Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP) of central India. The basalt lava flows of the area are of simple aa type and forms a multi-layered aquifer system due to alternate hard massive and vesicular units which creates heterogeneity uncertainty of groundwater occurrence. The hydrogeological field data acquired during field operations was taken into account to create an accurate picture of groundwater availability. The results show that static water levels range between 4.58 mbgl to 18.6  mbgl in pre-monsoon season and between 0.1 mbgl to 15.5 mbgl in post-monsoon season. The seasonal water level fluctuation ranges between 2 mbgl to 7.93 mbgl. Similarly yield of the dug wells in pre-monsoon season ranges between 4500 litre/day to 1,97,100 litre/day and in the post-monsoon season  ranges between 36,000 litre/day to 5,40,000 litre/day. Thematic maps like lithology, geomorphology, soil, slope, land use-land cover, lineaments were taken into consideration with appropriate weightages, according to their contribution for groundwater occurrence. The remote sensing technique and GIS softwares were utilized for this purpose. The watershed was divided into five categories, based on their respective weightages as: very good, good, moderate to good, poor to moderate and poor groundwater potential zones. This result shows that the area of very good and good groundwater potential covers 6% and 24% watershed area, which is mostly under storage zone; moderate to good and poor to moderate GWPZ covers 33% and 23% area of the watershed in the runoff and recharge zones. The area of poor groundwater potential covers 14 % of the watershed in the runoff zone. It is also observed that groundwater potential is almost same along river and drainage banks.

Artistic style transfer is an application of deep learning using convolutional neural networks (CNN). It combines the content of one image with the style of another one using so-called perceptual loss functions. More precisely, the training of the network consists in choosing the weights such that the perceptual loss is minimized. Here, we study the impact of the choice of the optimization method on the final transformation result. Training an artistic style transfer network with several optimization methods commonly used in deep learning, we obtain significantly differing models. In a default parameter setting, we show that Adam, AdaMax, Adam AMSGrad, Nadam, and RMSProp yield better results than AdaDelta, AdaGrad or RProp, both measured by the perceptual loss function and by visual perception. The results of the last three methods strongly depend on the chosen parameters. With a suitable selection, AdaGrad and AdaDelta can achieve results similar to the versions of Adam or RMSProp.

Climate Change Threatening Archaeological Heritage in (Former) Riverbeds
Authors: Manders Martijn R.
Published: May 2024

Water has always played an important part in societies. It has created and damaged, also threatened and saved societies throughout their existence. Its absence has done the same. Our rivers and seas contain evidence of this history and contain important parts of our cultural heritage, including underwater cultural heritage. Changing water levels – whether they lead to flooding or drought – challenge people’s livelihoods and threaten our heritage in (former) riverbeds, lakes and seas. Hunger stones, drowned villages, waterworks and shipwrecks all provide insight into the long history of human settlement. However, their sudden appearance due to climate change does not always allow for careful exploration. Long-term strategies are needed to assess underwater heritage, investigate and preserve it. This article explores the challenges and opportunities of underwater heritage that arise from climate change, with a focus on Dutch rivers.
The New Dutch Water Defense Line (Nieuwe Waterlinie): Preserving Historical Qualities in a Context of Very High Spatial Pressure
Authors: Luiten Eric , Kayrouz Léa
Published: May 2024

The Dutch Water Defense Line (Hollandse Waterlinie) is a historic defense system in the Netherlands that integrates innovative flood defense mechanisms with the country’s lowland topography across a 200 km span. Despite its effectiveness during periods of conflict, technological advancements rendered the defense system obsolete, letting it fall into a state of neglect. The Waterline laid dormant for a few decades until revitalization effort began in 2001 - a multi-stakeholder endeavor encompassing heritage preservation, nature conservation and spatial development (UNESCO n.d.). In a densely inhabited area, multi-level collaborations were needed to identify new ways to connect water management and heritage preservation. Collaborative efforts among governmental bodies, local communities and private enterprise facilitated the repurposing of historical forts into venues for cultural activities, tourism, farming and hospitality. The successful revitalization of the Dutch Waterline serves as a compelling example of the value case methodology we promote in the course “Water Systems Design: Learning from the Past for Resilient Water Futures.” It is an example where heritage preservation is intricately linked with economic development, environmental sustainability and social well-being. As a model for eco- and hydro-systemic thinking, the Dutch Waterline offers valuable lessons for designing resilient water futures and nurturing sustainable landscapes.
Achieving a Water-Resilient Rotterdam: Past, Present and Future Perspectives
Authors: Dolman Nanco , Verlinde Johan
Published: May 2024

Rotterdam has a close and essential connection with water, both as a port city and a delta city. As a low-lying city situated in the estuary of the Rhine and Meuse rivers, most of the city (85 per cent) lies below sea level, and some areas are as low as 7 m beneath sea level. Except for the main port area, the remaining 15 per cent of the city lies in outer dike zones. Since evacuation is nearly impossible, adapting to climate change presents a significant challenge. This vulnerable delta city is continually revisiting its approach to water threats and climate change is demanding a new round of interventions. The historical fight against water is being abandoned in favor of living with water. Water connects and brings leverage. By creating more space for water and promoting blue-green infrastructure in the built environment, Rotterdam is becoming climate-resilient, greener and more livable. Rotterdam’s blue-green transformation to a sponge city of the future (2100) aims at achieving SDG 11 (“Sustainable Cities and Communities”) and has the potential to fulfill targets regarding climate action (SDG 13), the protection of water quality (SDG 6) and the restoration of biodiversity (SDG 14 and 15).
Sustainable Water Management and Indigenous Socio-Technical Heritage in Marrakech, Morocco
Authors: Strava Cristiana
Published: May 2024

Morocco is considered a water-independent country by the World Bank, yet due to its topographical diversity, considerable land surface, and challenges posed by climate change, it ranks among the most water-stressed countries on the globe. Marrakech, an oasis city in Morocco, thrived for centuries through the ingenious use of khettarat, a traditional system of underground wells and channels that tapped into local aquifers and made use of topography and gravity to sustainably deliver water to the city. Until the early 1990s, Marrakech could still meet all its drinking water demand with the use of khettarat. Owing to a combination of institutional, political and economic factors, the khettarat system went into sharp decline starting in the 1980s and was at risk of disappearing both as a form of heritage and as an Indigenous technology. Recent efforts by multiple stakeholders aim to safeguard and re-introduce khetterat. They demonstrate the importance of local socio-technical systems in ensuring equitable and sustainable development in Morocco and similar arid regions around the world.

The Development of Youth Morality In The Millennial Era: A Theological Review of Youth Morality In Mandolang Satu, Minahasa Based on The Characters of Jeremiah and Timothy
Authors: Timbuleng Nontje Mery
Published: May 2024

The development of the morality of young Christians in the Mandolang Satu area still shows some engaging in free association, leading them to fall into promiscuity, drug abuse, and excessive drinking. The research aims to highlight and describe the characters of millennial youth shaped within Christian family life and to examine the exemplary figures in the Bible that impact the moral development of millennial youth. This study employs a qualitative method, where the researcher acts as the primary instrument and adapts to the typical situations regarding the collection of predominantly qualitative data. The researcher will describe various perspectives and experiences of informants regarding their moral development based on Christian moral norms and principles, compared to the examples set by Jeremiah and Timothy. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentary studies. The research findings conclude that the character of millennial youth is shaped from childhood and carries on into adulthood within Christian family life. The examples set by Jeremiah and Timothy in the Bible have positive impacts on the moral development of millennial youth but are still limited to understanding and not yet practiced in daily life. The moral development of young people in the millennial era is declining due to societal changes, and free association is considered acceptable, making it difficult for parents and the church to transform the character of millennial youth who no longer follow the examples of Jeremiah and Timothy.

Published: May 2024

Menurut Sigmund Freud dalam tahap perkembangan psikoseksual anak, pada usia 1 – 3 tahun, anak  berada pada fase anal. Sepanjang tahap anal, latihan defakasi (toilet training) memaksa anak untuk belajar menunda kepuasan bebas dari tegangan anal. Suksesnya toilet training tergantung pada kesiapan fisik,  psikologis dan kesiapan  intelektual anak, kesiapan ini akan menjadikan diri anak mempunyai kemandirian dalam mengontrol khususnya  toilet training(Hidayat, Aziz Alimul, n.d.), 2012).
Penggunaan pampers dan persepsi yang salah dari masyarakat tentang anak tidak perlu diajarkan toilet training karena nantinya anak akan mampu sendiri merupakan alasan yang kurang tepat karena ini menjadi tanggungjawab orang tua sejak usia anak 1 tahun. Survey awal pengabdi pada petugas menyatakan bahwa belum pernah ada edukasi tentang toilet training kepada  ibu-ibu yang memiliki anak usia 1 – 3 tahun di desa Talang jawa. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk menambah pengetahuan ibu-ibu  tentang  toilet training sehingga  ibu dapat melatih anaknya melakukan kebiasaan miksi dan defikasi  di toilet, yang pada akhirnya anak  memiliki kemampuan mengontrol dan konsentrasi dalam miksi ataupun defikasi secara mandiri.
      Metode yang digunakan adalah ceramah, tanyajawab, demontrasi. Kegiatan ini berlangsung  meliputi tahap persiapan , tahap pelaksanaan dan  tahap akhir. Dilakukan evaluasi  pre-test dan post-tes, evaluasi keberhasilan ibu dalam melatih anak melakukan toilet training sesuai tahapan umurnya. Evaluasi dilaksanakan 4 minggu menggunakan lembar observasi.
      Setelah dilakukan edukasi terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan ibu secara signifikan yaitu 87,5%  dan kemampuan toilet training  anak setelah dilatih mengalami peningkatan sebesar  62,5 % tercapai. Hal ini menunjukkan pentingnya melatih anak dan sejak dini dan perlunya peran orang tua dalam melatih kemandirian anak.

IMPROVING THE FINANCIAL INDICATORS OF CREDIT ORGANIZATIONS USING MACHINE LEARNING
Authors: Babayan Hayk
Published: May 2024

The aim of this article is to identify resource management issues related to the operational goal of the internal control system and to provide effective operational goal management methods with machine learning models. Machine learning algorithms were utilised to develop prediction models of capital, liabilities, income and profit based on the interdependencies of the indicators. Based on the intended profit/income ratio and the numerical quantities of assets, the optimal balance of credit organisations was predicted as a consequence of the models that were generated and used to solve the problem of financial indicator optimisation. The model proposed by us allows for the identification and avoidance of unnecessary concentrations of assets and liabilities, allowing both supervisory authorities and business owners to understand the alignment of the business with its vision, as well as identify problems and implement appropriate solutions, define new ambitious plans, and use resources more effectively.

The purpose of the article was to study the theory of innovation, the history of its formation, to analyze the current stage of development of innovation theory and propose options for further development and solutions to existing problems for the banking system of the Republic of Armenia.
Unitizing Predicates and Reasoning About the Logic of Proofs
Authors: Dawkins Paul Christian , Roh Kyeong Hah
Published: May 2024

This article offers the construct unitizing predicates to name mental actions important for students’ reasoning about logic. To unitize a predicate is to conceptualize (possibly complex or multipart) conditions as a single property that every example has or does not have, thereby partitioning a universal set into examples and nonexamples. This explains the cognitive work that supports students to unify various statements with the same logical form, which is conventionally represented by replacing parts of statements with logical variables p or P(x). Using data from a constructivist teaching experiment with two undergraduate students, we document barriers to unitizing predicates and demonstrate how this activity influences students’ ability to render mathematical statements and proofs as having the same logical structure.
