Bankfull and Mean-flow Channel Geometry Estimation through a Hybrid Multi-Regression and Machine Learning Algorithms across the CONtiguous United States (CONUS)
Authors: Zarrabi Reihaneh , McDermott Riley , Erfani Seyed Mohammad Hassan , Cohen Sagy
Published: May 2024

Widely adopted models for estimating channel geometry attributes rely on
simplistic power-law (hydraulic geometry) equations. This study presents
a new generation of channel geometry models based on a hybrid approach
combining traditional statistical methods (Multi-Linear Regression
(MLR)) and advanced tree-based Machine Learning (ML) algorithms (Random
Forest Regression (RFR) and eXtreme Gradient Boosting Regression
(XGBR)), utilizing novel datasets. To achieve this, a new preprocessing
method was applied to refine an extensive observational dataset, namely
the HYDRoacoustic dataset supporting Surface Water Oceanographic
Topography (HYDRoSWOT). This process improved data quality and
identified observations representing bankfull and mean-flow conditions.
A compiled dataset, combining the preprocessed dataset with datasets
containing additional catchment attributes like the National Hydrography
Dataset Plus (NHDplusv2.1), was then used to train a suite of models to
predict channel width and depth under bankfull and mean-flow conditions.
The analysis shows that tree-based ML algorithms outperform traditional
statistical methods in accuracy and handling the data but face
limitations in prediction capabilities for streams with characteristics
outside the training range. Consequently, a hybrid method was selected,
combining XGBR for streams within the dataset range and MLR for those
outside it. Two tiers of models were developed for each attribute using
discharges derived from distinct sources (HYDRoSWOT and NHDPlusV2.1,
respectively), where the second tier of models offers applicability
across approximately 2.6 million streams within NHDplusv2.1.
Comprehensive independent evaluations are conducted to assess the
capability of the developed models in providing stream/reach-averaged
(rather than at-a-station) predictions for locations outside the
training and testing datasets.
Trends in oceanic precipitation characteristics inferred from shipboard present-weather reports, 1950-2019
Authors: Petty Grant , Tran Harrison K
Published: June 2024

Manual shipboard present weather reports from 1950 to 2019 are
aggregated and composited yearly and seasonally on a
$1^\circ \times
1^\circ$ grid to characterize the global climatology
and long-term trends in the relative frequency of four categories of
oceanic precipitation: drizzle, moderate and heavy non-drizzle,
precipitation associated with thunderstorms and deep convection, and
frozen-phase precipitation. Although ship reports are susceptible to
subjective interpretation, the inferred distributions of these phenomena
are consistent with datasets derived from other platforms. These
distributions highlight widespread 70-year trends that are often
consistent across both annual and seasonal frequencies, with statistical
significance at 95\% confidence. The relative frequency
of ship-reported drizzle has largely increased in the tropics annually
and seasonally, with linear best-fit relative increases by as much as
15\% per decade. Decreased relative frequencies have
been observed in parts of the subtropics and at higher latitudes.
Heavier precipitation has encompassed a growing fraction of non-drizzle
precipitation reports over the subtropical North Pacific and
Mediterranean. The relative frequency of thunderstorm reports has
declined over the open Atlantic but show positive trends over the
Mediterranean and the western Atlantic. The trends in relative frozen
precipitation occurrence suggest a poleward retreat of areas receiving
frozen precipitation in the Northern Hemisphere. Possible mechanisms for
these ship-observed trends are discussed and placed in the context of
the modeled effects of climate change on global precipitation.
Islamic Human Resource Management (IHRM) Influence on Employee Turnover Intention in Multi-National Corporations (MNCs) in Malaysia
Authors: Bawasa Salmi , Othman Abdul Kadir
Published: May 2024

This paper investigates the dynamics affecting employees' intentions to leave their jobs in multinational corporations (MNCs) in Malaysia, focusing on the influencing factors of Islamic human resource management (IHRM). The increasing trends of employee turnover intention have significant implications for businesses, as they can impact strategic objectives and plans. The consequences encompass higher expenses, elevated costs for hiring and replacing employees, the need for time-consuming training, disruptions in productivity and supply, and a decrease in morale. To investigate this phenomenon, a positivist research design with a correlational study approach was adopted. The study population consisted of diversified MNCs, with a sample of 277 MNC employees as the unit of analysis. Questionnaires were used as the research instrument. The findings revealed a strong relationship between Islamic recruitment and hiring and employee turnover intention, and between Islamic performance and compensation and employee turnover intention. This study highlights the importance of integrating Islamic human resource management into organizational practices, identifying specific management strategies that can help mitigate and address employee turnover intention.
Masson’s tumor of the thoracic spine: A rare cause of slowly progressive paraplegia
Authors: Kostic Andrija , Rancic Nemanja , Golubovic Jelena , Pantic Milica
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia is an unusual reactive proliferation of endothelial cells around an organized thrombus, which occurs either in a dilated blood vessel, hematoma, or preexisting vascular lesion. These tumors rarely affect the central nervous system. Symptoms depend on the localization of the process itself. Localization in the central nervous system is limited to the intracranial space. Localization in the spinal canal is extremely rare, and only a few clinical cases have been described so far in the literature. Case report. A 67- year-old female patient was examined neurologically initially due to bilateral weakness of the lower extremities, accompanied by a feeling of pain and muscle tension, dominantly in the upper legs, more to the right. The complaints were present a year ago, and before that period, the patient was in a stable state of health. Due to a severe neurological deficit and the need for detailed exploration, the patient was hospitalized. A diagnosis was performed, which showed the localization of the pathological process in the thoracic 5?6 region of the spinal column. Decompression surgery was performed, and with the ex tempore findings metastasis was ruled out. Definitive pathohistological findings proved Masson?s tumor. After the operation, the neurological weakness recovered. Conclusion. Masson?s tumor, although rarely localized in spinal canal, is curable if it is correctly diagnosed and if an adequate therapeutic approach is applied. The initially presented symptoms may resemble numerous neurological or systemic diseases, which requires the clinician to be continuously aware of such rare pathological processes.

Aspects of the lens chemistry and pathochemistry
Authors: Smirnov SV , Kuznetsova OYu , Postnikov MA
Published: May 2024

The lens (lens cristalina) is part of the light conducting and light refracting system of the eye. Transparency and light refraction are the main properties of the lens. Nutrients are supplied to the lens through the capsule by diffusion and active transport. The energy needs of the avascular epithelial structure are 10–20 lower compared to that of other organs and tissues. Such needs are satisfied through anaerobic glycolysis. Currently, there is insufficient information about the fundamental chemical mechanism underlying the existence of the lens in the healthy body, the mechanisms of its functional “survival” against the background of somatic disorder, such as diabetes. The paper reports the authors’ view of certain chemical aspects clarifying pathochemical alterations of the lens with the possible mechanisms underlying its “adaptation”/”protection” associated with the systemic disorder at the molecular level. In particular, the view of the involvement of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase/ transketolase, the enzymes of the oxidative and non-oxidative phases of the pentose phosphate pathway belonging to the native crystalline fraction protein family, in the mechanisms underlying protection of the lens against the oxidative and osmotic stress, involvement of aldo-keto reductases in pathochemical alterations of the lens, as well as the role the NO, NO3-, B6, PQQ small molecules having an antioxidant cytoprotective effect is reported.

Contribución de la ciencia ciudadana a las políticas públicas sobre agricultura sustentable
Authors: Mateos-Espejel Lourdes , Estrada Rodríguez José Luis
Published: May 2024

Este trabajo aborda la integración de la Ciencia Ciudadana en las políticas públicas orientadas a generar esquemas agroalimentarios sustentables, productivos y resilientes ante el cambio climático. Las políticas sobre sustentabilidad en la agricultura, sobre todo en Latinoamérica, olvidan que los agricultores pueden aportar conocimiento y experiencia, lo que ha generado un bajo índice de adopción de las prácticas agroecológicas y consumo de fertilizantes químicos que erosionan suelos cultivables. Se propone la Ciencia Ciudadana, entendida como un modelo de participación social definido por ciudadanos y científicos que colaboran entre sí, como un factor que permite que los agricultores se transformen en actores al compartir el conocimiento adquirido desde la tradición y la práctica, y vincularlo al ya existente. Con base en propuestas teóricas sobre el rol de la Ciencia Ciudadana en la gobernanza y en el reporte de la Comisión Europea, se ofrece una explicación teórica, y en las conclusiones, la propuesta de mecanismo de operación en las políticas públicas de agricultura sustentable.

Litopenaeus vannamei, a highly adaptable shrimp species known for its growth, thrives in environmental conditions with proper water quality. However, salinity stress poses a significant challenge, compromising shrimp survival and growth. To optimize shrimp feed, the inclusion of alginate and Spirulina sp. offers benefits such as enhanced growth and resistance to environmental stress. This research aims to assess the impact of adding Spirulina sp., alginate, and their combination on the survival rate, resistance to the salinity shock test, and growth of L. vannamei. In this study, a completely randomized design (CRD) method with nine different feed doses was used. The treatments included control, supplementation of Alg 1 (alginate 1 g/kg feed), Alg 3 (alginate 3 g/kg feed), Alg 5 (alginate 5 g/kg feed), Sp 3 (spirulina 3 mg/kg feed), Sp 6 (spirulina 6 mg/kg feed), Sp 9 (spirulina 9 mg/kg feed), AS 1+1 (alginate 1 g/kg feed + spirulina 1 mg/kg feed), AS 2+3 (alginate 2 g/kg feed + spirulina 3 mg/kg feed), and AS 3+5 (alginate 3 g/kg feed + spirulina 5 mg/kg feed). The supplementation of feed was given during the fourteen-day rearing period. The results of the study show that the supplementation of Sp 9 (spirulina 9 mg/kg feed) led to a significant growth (α = 0.05). All treatments supplemented with alginate and/or Spirulina sp. water extract had a significant effect (α = 0.05) on the resistance to the salinity shock test. The different treatments in L. vannamei feed supplementation significantly influenced (α = 0.05) shrimp survival. Polysaccharides and antioxidant properties in alginate and Spirulina sp. have an important role in increasing the growth and resistance to salinity shock of L. vannamei.

Authors: Melese Tsegaye , Gurmis Nigus
Published: June 2024

The study’s major purposes were to assess technical efficiency, determine its causes, and measure the marketing performance of turmeric production in the Sheko and Yeki areas. A two-stage random sampling approach was used to select 300 households. Cobb-Douglas and Tobit model were used to investigate efficiency levels and determinants. As a result, the average technical efficiency was 73.72. The average technical efficiency suggests that it was possible to raise turmeric production by 26.28 percent without utilizing additional inputs. Land, labor, oxen, seeds, herbicide, and urea all had a big impact on how much turmeric was produced. The Tobit model revealed that gender, age, household size, the number of plots, and market information substantially impacted technical efficiency. The structure conduct performance model was used to evaluate the performance of the Turmeric market. The findings showed that the markets for Turmeric in the region were non-competitive, with concentration ratios at the Sheko and Tepi markets of 78.5 and 64.2%, respectively. Policies aimed at motivating and strengthening the existing agricultural extension system, and providing appropriate marketing information, is required to improve Turmeric’s efficiency and Marketing performance.

Legal Aspects of Macroprudential Regulation within the EU and the EAEU
Authors: Valiev T. M.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The article examines the legal evolution of the regulation of the activities of the European Systemic Risk Board (hereinafter – ESRB) in the context of the formation of the organizational and legal mechanism of financial integration, and also assesses the reform of the legal acts in the context of building the Capital Markets Union. The paper reveals the results of comparative analysis of the legal foundations of the implementation of macroprudential policy in the EU and EAEU, identifying common and special features in the legal regulation of integration associations.Materials and methods. In the course of research, the following methods of scientific cognition were used: analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalizations, analogies and others. The methodological basis of research consist of general scientific as well as special-legal methods, including method of dogmatic analysis (interpretation of legal norms, legal and technical constructions, etc.), formal, comparative legal methods.Results of the study. The analysis of the legal basis of the implementation of macroprudential supervision in the EU and the EAEU showed a significant extent of the financial integration in the EU, as testified by the presence of a supranational body, ESRB. However, at this moment there is stagnation in the development of legal regulation of ESRB activities. In the EAEU, in its turn, despite the existence of the legal foundation of regulation, macroprudential supervision is executed by the means of intergovernmental cooperation, and not supranational regulation.Discussion and conclusion. The study showed the existence of significant differences in the legal regulation of macroprudetial supervision in the EU and the EAEU as well as it was revealed that in the absence of comprehensive supranational regulation of the macroprudential supervision in the EAEU, there is potential for the development of a respective institution in the EAEU law.
Global Forum on Migration: a New Stage of State Cooperation on Forced Migration
Authors: Ivanov D. V. , Aliyev J. M.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees is the legal basis of the global system of international protection of forced migrants, but it does not cover all contemporary aspects of international legal regulation of forced migration. UN member states cannot agree on the adoption of a new international legal act of universal character that would replace the 1951 Convention, which was adopted more than seven decades ago [13. P. 4-5]. “Migration crisis” of 2015–2016 forced the world community to return to the search for solutions to the problems of international legal regulation of forced migration. First, UN member states adopted the New York Declaration on Refugees and Migrants in 2016. According to Annex I to the Declaration, UNHCR was tasked with developing a new international legal act on forced migration within two years. The UNHCR, as part of its annual report in 2018, presented a draft Global Compact on Refugees, which was adopted by the UN General Assembly. Global Compact on Refugees drafted by UNHCR, although not legally binding, enshrined mechanisms for equitable burden-sharing among states. One such mechanism is the Global Refugee Forum, which is to be held every four years. This article focuses on the first and second Global Refugee Forums and their outcomes, which took place in 2019 and 2023.Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the study was the following general scientific and special methods of cognition of legal phenomena and processes: historical and legal comparative method; method of system-structural analysis; formal logical method.Research Findings. The analysis revealed that the Global Compact on Refugees 2018 is the compromise that UN member states agreed to. It is not legally binding. One of the main problems that continue to the present day is the lack of mechanisms for equitable burden and responsibility sharing among states. The Global Compact enshrined mechanisms for predictable and equitable burden and responsibility sharing among all UN member states. One of these is the Global Refugee Forum.Discussion and Conclusion. In the study, the authors formulated the preconditions for the adoption and analyzed the content of the Global Compact on Refugees 2018, and substantiated the importance of the Compact at the current stage of international legal regulation of forced migration.

Mortice-tenons are the main structural forms of ancient buildings, furniture, and woodwork in China. They are the inheritance of China's craft and cultural spirit, follow the principles of mechanics and have strong practicability. How-ever, mortice-tenons have gradually disappeared from modern life, mainly be-cause they cannot meet the specific needs of users. The purpose of this study is to establish a set of mortice-tenons structure innovation and product design for modern people. By analyzing the types and structural characteristics of mortice-tenon structure, based on the user's needs, using modern creative design methods, and combining with practice, we can verify how to further improve the market acceptance of mortice-tenon structure innovation prod-ucts, constantly explore the combination of modern technology and material experiments, and explore the emotional design of China traditional cultural creative products. Finally, it is proposed that further research is needed in this field to fully understand the user's behavior of using mortice-tenon structure innovation products, and at the same time, mortice-tenon structure innova-tion is applied to daily necessities and furniture products to meet the needs of a wider range of user scenarios.

Eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy, formerly known as PIE (Pulmonary Infiltration with Eosinophils) syn¬drome, is defined as an inflammatory pathology haracterized by the presence of eosinophilic infiltrate in the lungs and bronchiolary structures. (CECILE CLERCX,2007). Canine eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy has been described similarly to that present in humans, highlighting tropism for the airways and lungs, but also the multitude of factors with the potential to trigger, which is why most of them are ranked with idiopathic factor. (Sol Kim et a1,2021). Cases of eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy have been identified in most canine breeds, and according to current studies, the predisposition for large breeds under the age of 6, such as rottweilers, Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute, has been reported. (C. Clercx 2017). The present case is represented by a male, canine, of the Husky breed, who showed clinical respiratory signs, these were correlated with complementary examinations such as laboratory examinations, cardiological examination, radiological and endoscopic examination. Based on the haematological results, which present a marked eosinophilia, a dif¬ferentiated diagnostic protocol was achieved compared to possible parasitosis and reactions of autoimmune type. Differential clinical diagnosis was made against dirofilariosis, angiostrongiliosis, lupus erythematosus, mycotic pneumopathies. PCR technique was used to determine the possible parasites present, sample collec¬tion with the help of endoscopy from the pulmonary infiltrate with cytological examination. The diagnosis of certainty was established on the basis of histopathological examination. He underwent treatment with cortico¬steroids, the evolution being favorable within 14 days of initialization of the treatment, with complete healing.

This research was conducted with the aim of examining the financial management performance of one company in the tourism sector, namely PT Aviasi Wisata Indonesia from the 2020-2022 period, which was carried out using various analyses, namely using Profitability Ratios, Solvency Ratios and Liquidity Ratios. The tourism sector is one of the sectors that is of concern to the government because it is able to make a large contribution to the country's foreign exchange. However, since the Covid-19 pandemic, the tourism sector has plummeted due to restrictions and even closure of tourist travel. Therefore, this research was conducted to find out whether there was an influence of these problems on the financial management performance of PT Aviasi Wisata Indonesia. This research uses a quantitative approach with case study methods and descriptive data analysis. The results of research using profitability ratios show that the company's ability to generate profits has increased, using solvency ratios shows that the company's ability to fulfill all its liabilities has increased, apart from that, calculations using liquidity ratios show that the company's ability to pay off short-term obligations has increased. Overall, the company's financial performance in 2022 has increased, although not yet significantly. Recommendations for further research are that research needs to be carried out with a wider scope so that it can describe the condition of financial management in the tourism sector as a whole.
