Modeling fuel-, vehicle type-, and age-specific CO2 emissions from global on-road vehicles, 1970–2020
Authors: Yan Liu , Zhang Qiang , He Kebin , Zheng Bo
Published: April 2024

Abstract. Vehicles are among the most important contributors to global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. However, the lack of fuel-, vehicle type-, and age-specific information about global on-road CO2 emissions in existing datasets, which are available only at the sector level, makes these datasets insufficient to support the establishment of emission mitigation strategies. Thus, a fleet turnover model is developed in this study, and CO2 emissions from global on-road vehicles from 1970 to 2020 are estimated for each country. Here, we analyze the evolution of the global vehicle stock over 50 years, identify the dominant emission contributors by vehicle and fuel type, and further characterize the age distribution of on-road CO2 emissions. We find that trucks accounted for less than 5 % of global vehicle ownership but represented more than 20 % of on-road CO2 emissions in 2020. The contribution of diesel vehicles to global on-road CO2 emissions doubled during the 1970–2020 period, driven by the shift in the fuel-type distribution of vehicle ownership. The proportion of CO2 emissions from vehicles in developing countries such as China and India in terms of global emissions from newly registered vehicles significantly increased after 2000, but global CO2 emissions from vehicles that survived more than 15 years in 2020 still originated mainly from developed countries such as the United States and countries in the European Union.

Authors: Fernández Garrido Regla
Published: April 2024

En este trabajo se estudia la obra de teatro Circe y los cerdos de Carlota O’Neill, en la que la autora reescribe el episodio de Circe y Odiseo de la Odisea homérica. Se analiza cómo son caracterizados los personajes protagonistas (Circe, Ulises y los hombres-cerdos) y las relaciones intertextuales entre ambos textos, en especial cómo se incorporan al texto dramático los versos del poema homérico, en muchas ocasiones traducidos literalmente a partir de la versión francesa de Leconte de Lisle de 1893. Se señalan también los recursos empleados por la autora para actualizar el episodio homérico y dotarlo de un sentido nuevo, en consonancia con sus ideas y el mensaje que quiere transmitir.

La ciudad y los jueces: emociones y dominación política en Avispas de Aristófanes
Authors: Franco San Román Mariana
Published: April 2024

El presente artículo se da en el marco de un proyecto mayor que busca investigar los orígenes del proceso de estereotipia del que fueron objeto los demagogoí en el siglo V a.n.e., en el cual se los suele asociar al uso de una retórica emocional (cf. Mann, 2003). En los análisis sobre los demagogoí cobra particular relevancia el éros (Ludwig, 2002; Wohl, 2002; Scholtz, 2004; Franco San Román, 2017). Sin embargo, lo cierto es que pocos han sido quienes han considerado los páthe en Avispas y, en general, se han centrado en la cólera dicástica por sí misma como una emoción plenamente democrática (por ej. Allen, 2003; Buis 2020). Nuestro interés es pensar las emociones que emergen, en particular, en relación con Kýon –la máscara de Cleón–.
Puesto que el político es considerado el “protector” (κηδεμὼν) del coro, pero también es quien le ordena a este castigar a los criminales (V.240-4), nos interesa ver qué emociones se vinculan con el líder, cuáles busca provocar y cuáles efectivamente genera en su auditorio. En última instancia, queremos indagar en el tipo de comunidad emocional que construye Cleón, según Aristófanes, y que da lugar al dominio de los jueces de la ciudad.
Changes in Undergraduate Students’ Self-Efficacy and Outcome Expectancy in an Introductory Statistics Course

Published: April 2024

The exploration of psychological variables that potentially impact college student performance in challenging academic courses can be useful for understanding success in introductory statistics. Although previous research has examined specific beliefs that students hold about their abilities and future outcomes, the current study is novel in its examination of changes in both self-efficacy (SE) and outcome expectancy (OE) in relation to performance over the course of an undergraduate introductory psychology statistics course. These psychological variables—relating to one’s belief about one’s ability to accomplish a task and the anticipated outcomes—may impact student motivation and performance. Students’ SE, OE, and other variables related to statistics performance were measured through a survey administered at the beginning and end of the course. Multivariate logistic regression and McNemar tests were conducted to examine factors that affected changes in SE and OE as the semester progressed. Students with lower scores on the final exam demonstrated a decrease in both high SE and positive OE. However, higher scores on exams earlier in the course were associated with increased odds for high SE but not for positive OE, suggesting that SE is less resilient to course performance. Based on these findings, the authors recommend that statistics instructors identify students at risk for decreasing SE. Instructors can help foster high SE in students struggling academically by connecting the course content to their everyday lives and suggesting strategies to enhance their confidence in their content knowledge and increase their comfort in navigating such a challenging course.
Evaluation of IoT-Enabled Energy Management Systems: Uncovering Sustainable Energy Storage Parameters and Their Significance
Authors: Kapil Kumar Sharma
Published: April 2024

This research begins an in-depth examination of IoT-enabled energy management systems at a time when IoT (Internet of Things) technology has a profoundly revolutionary impact. Finding the fundamental sustainable energy storage characteristics that support their operational effectiveness and environmental sustainability is its main goal. By taking a comprehensive approach, the paper carefully analyzes the existing IoT-based systems, exploring their complex architectural features, real-world uses, and related difficulties. Parallel to that, a thorough literature study is conducted, highlighting the crucial aspects of sustainable energy storage and their inherent significance in energy management systems. The results of this in-depth analysis unequivocally demonstrate how crucial these factors are for improving the effectiveness, performance, and ecological soundness of energy management systems. While highlighting the current environment and key variables, it is important to recognize the research's constraints, which are confined to an analysis of existing IoT-based energy management systems and a literature study. The design and implementation of IoT-driven energy management systems infused with the indicated sustainable energy storage characteristics are anticipated to be included in further research projects. The investigation of practical application, scalability, and a dedication to keeping up with the rapidly changing technology and practices that characterize this dynamic sector would be some of these objectives.

Science based approaches for conservation prioritisation and target setting
Authors: Hughes Alice
Published: April 2024

Globally we are beginning to realise the need for policies built on evidence, and for environmental policy that entails science-based policy. Yet, any analysis is only as good as the data used to conduct it, thus understanding the limitations and assumptions in environmental data is crucial to ensuring it’s sensible and effective use.
The digital revolution has seemingly changed the problem for many ecologists trying to understand the natural world from having insufficient data to approach many ecological questions, to one of how to usefully analyse ever growing volumes of data. Yet despite this huge volume of data, natural biases within the data require caution to ensure their sensible use, as those biases shape the outcomes of our analysis and may misrepresent true ecological patterns as a consequence. We also explore how different modes of data collection and the impact of citizen science in shaping our understanding of species patterns and how it may actually exacerbate rather than ameliorate existing biases.
However guiding sensible use and providing more robust solutions is key, thus building from this we provide recommendations to help guide sensible and effective use and interpretation of data, frameworks to enable more effective use of data within its sensible limits, and better approaches for the generation of further data to aid the development of effective conservation, policy and management. We also demonstrate how data can be sensitively analysed and applied to help create better and more sensitive environmental targets, and can also help align, such as ecological conservation redline policy and to maximise the synergies between climate and biodiversity targets.

Published: April 2024

BPJS claims are submissions for patient care costs for BPJS participants in claiming that there are problems pending claims which are influenced by several factors. The implementation of BPJS claims in submitting files is still delayed so it must be pending, and there are still patient BPJS claim files that are returned for repair, as a result of delays in submitting BPJS claims causing delays in disbursing funds that should be received by the hospital. the factors that cause pending BPJS claims at RSUD Dr. Pirngadi Medan City. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors causing pending claims of BPJS Inpatients at RSUD Dr. Pirngadi Medan City in 2022. This type of research uses a qualitative descriptive method, in this study the population used by officers in the medical record amounted to 4 people and 49 pending files. The results of this study indicate that the cause of pending BPJS claims is caused by differences in perceptions between INA CBG's officers and Verifiers in filling out patient diagnoses, causing obstacles for hospitals, incomplete BPJS claim requirements, diagnoses that are not in accordance with the action, drugs that are not in accordance with diagnostics and the hospital network which is sometimes slow, resulting in errors in the INA-CBGs application and the computer takes a long time to load. Suggestions from this study should be routine checking of the completeness of medical record documents, so that the requirements for submitting BPJS claims have been filled out correctly. The hospital network is further developed so that the work using computer networks is more effective. To equate the perception between the coder and the verifier, it is recommended that officers collaborate more often with doctors regarding diagnosis and disease codes.

Agroecology in the U.S., as commonly insti­tutionalized, remains firmly rooted in its techno-scientific approaches centered on quanti­tative biophysical data and natural science research methodologies that flatten the richness of its rela­tionality, land-based practices, and social move­ments. The crucial role of art and popu­lar forms of artistic expression are often undervalued within the walls of academia and higher-education institu­tions, while elsewhere, it embodies the steady pulse of anti-colonial resistance and the daily pursuit of life-affirming practices. . . .

Authors: Hedges Katherine , Schaer Michael , Allen-Durrance Ashley
Published: April 2024

Snake envenomation is relatively common in small animals, particularly in endemic areas. Effects and outcomes of envenomation during pregnancy are poorly described in humans and more so in veterinary patients. Two young pregnant female dogs presented to a university teaching hospital with a history of acute soft tissue swelling and bleeding. History, physical examination findings, and diagnostics were consistent with envenomation by crotalid snakes. Medical management of one of the dogs included administration of antivenin. Both dogs survived envenomation with minimal complications and went on to whelp without complications, and all fetuses survived. This is the first description of the management of pit viper envenomation in pregnant dogs.

Published: April 2024

An 8 yr old male German shorthaired pointer was presented on July 4, 2022, for acute abdominal and testicular pain. The dog was vasectomized at an unknown age under the care of his previous owners. The dog had an enlarged, painful left testis, scrotal edema, and an enlarged, nonpainful prostate. Abdominal ultrasound revealed mild peritoneal and retroperitoneal effusion, orchiepididymitis, enlarged ductus deferentes and testicles, and suspected benign prostatic hyperplasia versus prostatitis. Peritoneal effusion cytology revealed seminoperitoneum with marked neutrophilic inflammation. Peritoneal effusion aerobic culture and Brucella canis rapid slide agglutination test were negative. The dog was hospitalized overnight with IV antibiotic therapy and analgesics. The following day, the dog’s abdominal pain, testicular pain, and scrotal edema were resolved. The dog was discharged and castrated after completion of antibiotic therapy and complete resolution of clinical signs. Testicular histopathology results were not available. Seminoperitoneum is uncommon in dogs and is a rare diagnosis for dogs with acute abdominal pain. This is the second known reported case of a seminoperitoneum in a vasectomized dog.

English Translation of Fuzzy Beauty of Classical Chinese Poetry
Authors: Li Jin , Wu Qiuhan , Luo Yihao
Published: April 2024

This paper attempts to probe into English translation of fuzzy beauty of classical Chinese poetry via imagery. Classical Chinese poetry is the cream of Chinese culture. It attracts millions of Chinese and western readers with its subtle and profound fuzzy beauty. The ultimate requirement of English translation of classical Chinese poetry lies in transferring its fuzzy beauty. Fuzzy beauty of classical Chinese poetry falls into three categories: fuzzy beauty in form, fuzzy beauty in imagery and fuzzy beauty in artistic conception. Imagery, being the soul of classical Chinese poetry, serves as a communicative and operational medium of transference of fuzzy beauty. The essence of fuzzy beauty consists in "gaps of indeterminacy" which conjures up the reader's unrestrained association. "Gaps of indeterminacy" constitute the "appealing structure" in a text which is subject to the reader's free interpretation according to his own "horizon of expectation". Fuzzy aesthetics sheds light on the aesthetic features of fuzzy beauty, and the hierarchical structure of fuzzy beauty in fuzzy aesthetics corresponds to different layers of fuzzy beauty of classical Chinese poetry. Therefore, both aesthetics of reception and fuzzy aesthetics are of instructive value to English translation of classical Chinese poetry. This paper is composed of five sections. The introductory section is concerned with the significance and purpose of the research. The second section reveals in detail fuzzy beauty in classical Chinese poetry. In the third section, the techniques and principle for translation of poetic fuzzy beauty are put forward in light of aesthetics of reception and fuzzy aesthetics and imagery is recommended as an ideal medium of transference of fuzzy beauty. The fourth section centers on how to transfer fuzzy beauty of classical Chinese poetry using imagery as a medium, analyses and proposals are given from such angles as fuzzy modifiers, syntax, juxtaposition, and cultural influences. A natural conclusion is drawn in the last section.

El mercado de criptoactivos ha experimentado un notable crecimiento en los últimos años, acompañado de grandes fluctuaciones en su valor. Esta expansión, junto con su creciente integración en los sistemas financiero y monetario, ha incrementado los potenciales riesgos para la economía en su conjunto. Sin embargo, el seguimiento de esta actividad no resulta sencillo dada la naturaleza descentralizada de sus operativas y la ausencia de requerimientos de reporte sobre las operaciones. Para comprender mejor los datos disponibles sobre criptoactivos, en este trabajo analizamos las diferentes fuentes de información centradas en Bitcoin, el criptoactivo más conocido. Analizamos dos tipos de datos. Por un lado, los datos directos, es decir, los procedentes de la cadena de bloques Bitcoin, y por otro, los datos de terceros, obtenidos de plataformas de intercambio, agregadores de información y empresas de servicios especializados. Exponemos las ventajas y las limitaciones de ambos tipos datos en lo que respecta a temas de interés para las autoridades financieras. Si bien el análisis de la cadena de bloques tiene la ventaja de ser público y fiable, para abordar temas como el lavado de dinero o la estabilidad financiera es necesario emplear datos adicionales de terceros, con los riesgos asociados que ello implica.

Published: April 2024

The segmentation process entails dividing or decomposing the entire document image into segments. This operation serves as a fundamental step in developing any writing or optical character recognition system. However, numerous existing segmentation schemes encounter challenges when dealing with specific script styles, like ancient or historical Arabic writing found in ancient manuscripts, which possesses unique characteristics. These characteristics include inclined text lines, overlapping letters, diacritic marks, decorative elements, variable letter forms, and ligatures (combinations of two or more letters merged to form a single connected shape). Thus, in this paper, we present a thorough survey of the field. The survey is composed of two parts. The first section provides a concise overview of historical Arabic documents. The second, which serves as the primary section, focuses on the crucial step of handwritten document recognition, specifically segmentation. A detailed and systematic overview of various segmentation approaches at different levels for extracting handwritten Arabic text-lines is outlined, followed by a literature study analyzing proposed works in this area.

Origem e impactos do eficientismo na educação superior: análise retrospectiva de diretrizes legais brasileiras
Authors: Hallwass Lia Cristiane Lima
Published: April 2024

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi discutir a relação entre a concepção eficientista das diretrizes para a educação superior brasileira e os pressupostos das teorias tradicionais curriculares e da nova gestão pública. Essa discussão é oriunda de tese de doutoramento que abordou como essas teorias, juntam, apontam para o eficientismo educacional nesse nível de educação, forçando a priorização de objetivos de mercado que fundamentam a relação educação-mercado: formação profissional para o mercado de trabalho e resultados educacionais quantitativos. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica, sobre as teorias supracitadas, de modo a demonstrar suas convergências teóricas e foco em práticas administrativas; e de uma análise documental retrospectiva das diretrizes legais da educação superior no Brasil. Como resultados, encontrou-se que essas diretrizes aprofundam os pressupostos das teorias supracitadas. Isso submete a educação superior a regras de competitividade tipicamente mercadológicas. A formação de nível superior ofertada é colocada à prova face às demandas do mercado de trabalho. Não obstante, seus resultados são postos à prova no mercado educacional, mediante um sistema de avaliação nacional que visa à análise quantitativa de critérios e ao ranqueamento de cursos e de instituições de ensino superior. No século XX, essa visão eficientista da educação já fora impactante; e no século XXI, ela desidrata cada vez mais os valores sociais da educação superior, direcionando instituições e atores educacionais à internalização de padrões globais de qualidade prescrito em diretrizes legais que aprofundam o eficientismo e, por consequência, ao enfrentamento do discurso eficientista dominante no mundo contemporâneo. Na conjuntura prática, submete-a (educação superior) a inéditos processos de gestão, regulação, supervisão e avaliação que mensuram sistematicamente a capacidade institucional de aderir a essas configurações mercadológicas de ver, de entender e de fazer educação.
