Published: February 2023

Com objetivo de avaliar as emoções e comportamentos dos adultos brasileiros com hemofilia durante o 1º ano da pandemia, a ABRAPHEM realizou uma pesquisa online com 17 perguntas de características demográficas e clínicas, a qual foi respondida por 40 pessoas com hemofilia no período de março a abril de 2021.Sendo 35% de 18 a 30 anos, 50% entre 31 e 50 anos e 15% entre 51 e 70 anos. Destes,34 respondentes possuem hemofilia A e 6 possuem hemofilia B. De toda esta amostra, 87,5% relatou estar em tratamento de profilaxia, enquanto 12,5% trata apenas sob demanda.Apesar da maioria dos respondentes reconhecer que esta pandemia teria repercussões psicológicas, 60% afirmaram não precisar de apoio na área da saúde mental. Para 31% dos pacientes a informação fornecida pelos Centros de Hemofilia (CTH) foi suficiente, enquanto 9% dos respondentes solicitaram apoio e ajuda psicológica.Quanto ao relacionamento com o CTH: 61% relatou que nada mudou, 12,2% relatou melhora no relacionamento, enquanto 12,2% relatou dificuldades no relacionamento em função do medo de possível contágio.Com relação ao gerenciamento do controle de sangramentos e das consultas programadas,53,7% declararam não ter sido afetados pela pandemia, enquanto 24,4% relataram que tanto rotina quanto emergência foram alterados. Para 19,5% apesar da suspensão das consultas, os atendimentos de urgência e planos de tratamento foram oferecidos regularmente.
Significados atribuidos al concepto de metodología de la investigación por formadores de un doctorado en educación
Authors: Moreno Bayardo María Guadalupe , Torres Frías José de la Cruz , Jiménez Mora José
Published: February 2023

En el presente trabajo se reportan visiones en torno al concepto de metodología de la investigación, que emergieron al identificar y organizar significados inferidos del discurso de profesores de un doctorado en educación. Algunos planteamientos de quienes han estudiado la dinámica de las culturas académicas fueron utilizados en el análisis e interpretación de lo encontrado. El enfoque del estudio fue cualitativo, se realizó en congruencia con las características del método de estudio de caso único y se utilizó la técnica del grupo focal para explorar los significados interiorizados por los formadores participantes. Entre las visiones predominantes en torno al concepto de metodología de la investigación, se detectaron dos: una normativo-instrumental y otra constructiva, las cuales fueron consideradas como rasgos de al menos dos subculturas académicas coexistentes en la institución que ofrece el doctorado, lo cual es explicable por la diversidad de procedencia, formación y trayectoria de los profesores participantes. No obstante, se admite la posibilidad de negociar las diferencias de significado e interpretación (Bruner, 1990), de tal manera que el discurso académico se convierta en la principal mediación para hacer inteligible lo que los investigadores adscritos al programa sustentan y realizan en su oficio de investigadores y en su función de formadores.

The coast of Sadeng Beach is a large potential for marine and fishery resources, which is, one of the potentials is tuna fish commodities. However, the utilization of these resources is still not optimal. The limited use of technology has hampered the processing and marketing of the products, resulting in a decrease in the economic value of tuna products. This Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PKM) activity aims to boost community development by empowering the processing of marine fish products. So that, they become products that are worth selling higher. Empowerment carried out includes the provision of materials, equipment, and training in the manufacture of processed tuna products aimed at self-reliance and community self-reliance. The training covers how to process tuna raw materials from start to finish which includes raw material preparation, storage, additional seasoning, packaging, and distribution. The activity was carried out in Pucung Village, Girisubo District, Gunungkidul Regency by involving members of the Usaha Peningkatan Pendapatan Keluarga Sejahtera (UPPKS) Harapan. The method used in this activity is the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method which involves active community participation and empowerment. Activities include providing materials and practices for processing tuna fish into tuna cracker products, tuna nuggets, and tuna tofu. The program impacts increasing knowledge and skills of tuna fish processing for empowering partners. Through this activity, the women of the UPPKS Harapan group can contribute economically to the household. The training activities were held on June 11 2022 for the assistance stage for the introduction of tuna processing materials, June 12-October 2022 for product marketing assistance, November 2 2022 assistance for creating social media content until the final evaluation stage is ongoing.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is still a serious problem in Indonesia, because the climate in Indonesia supports mosquito breeding and most Indonesians are still not aware of the importance of clean and healthy living behavior which causes many cities in Indonesia to become endemic cases of DHF. This service is carried out in Jelobo Village, Wonosari District, Klaten Regency, which is included in a DHF endemic area. The morbidity rate reaches 1.71 per 100,000 population and the mortality rate reaches 5% which is included in the 3rd rank of death in the Central Java area. Based on the results of the situation analysis and survey, it shows that the people of Jelobo Village still have less knowledge and attitudes in preventing DHF. The purpose of community service is to increase the knowledge of the Jelobo Village community regarding the understanding, symptoms, causes, and prevention of dengue fever. The method used is by providing online counseling in the form of digital posters and videos distributed through Whatsapp Groups as a preventive and promotive effort to prevent dengue. In addition to using posters and videos that are distributed on Whatsapp Groups, education is also carried out by placing posters in public places. Wilcoxon statistical test obtained p value of 0.00 <0.05, meaning that there is a significant effect on the difference in the treatment given to each variable. A significant difference can also be seen from the results of an increase in the pre-test and post-test of 6.178, so that the treatment given after the pre-test showed an increase in participants' knowledge of DHF disease. Increasing public knowledge will open awareness to create good environmental sanitation so that the chain of disease transmission can be broken. It is necessary to collaborate with health workers, the community, and local village cadres to improve education in the community, especially regarding DHF.

Les sciences cognitives s’invitent depuis peu dans les salles de classe dès l’entrée à l’école primaire. Elles peuvent enrichir les pratiques enseignantes, en proposant notamment de prendre en compte le fonctionnement neurocognitif de l’élève pour permettre la construction des connaissances et des compétences scolaires. Les connaissances dans ce domaine peuvent aussi être bénéfiques pour les élèves. En effet, certaines études ont suggéré la pertinence d’enseigner aux élèves le fonctionnement du cerveau et sa plasticité afin qu’ils développent une compréhension plus approfondie de leur propre fonctionnement intellectuel. Ce type de programme pédagogique permet notamment de développer chez eux un mindset plus dynamique, qui consiste à croire en l’amélioration des habiletés scolaires par la pratique et l’effort. Face à l’erreur, les élèves adhérant à cette conception auraient tendance à être plus motivés à se corriger, notamment en essayant de nouvelles stratégies, ce qui leur permettra ainsi de progresser dans leurs apprentissages. Une importante littérature scientifique s’entend donc quant à la nécessité de sensibiliser les élèves au rôle majeur du cerveau dans leurs apprentissages scolaires. Cet article vise à éclaircir le lien entre l’enseignement du fonctionnement cérébral, le mindset et leurs impacts sur les apprentissages scolaires. Puis, des séquences pédagogiques détaillées seront présentées afin de fournir des pistes d’intervention concrètes pour mettre en place ce type de programmes pédagogiques de découverte du cerveau et des outils cognitifs afin de sensibiliser tous les élèves à prendre conscience de leurs rôles déterminants dans les apprentissages scolaires.
Cultural Archetypes in the works of Rohinton Mistry
Authors: Nishtha Mishra
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The present research paper attempts to explore the archetypical elements in the works of Indo-Canadian author Rohinton Mistry. As a member of a racial minority, Rohinton Mistry’s work strive to put forward the lives, beliefs, culture and practices of his community, whose members are now limited to a few.

The Parsee community stands tall in terms of cultural and racial preservation against the storms and sands of time. With hardly any significant number of inter-caste marriage associations, this race is considered to be one of the purest among the lot. Genetic Studies over the past years have shown that the purity of their lineage is still maintained.

As such they are still as closer to their forefathers as they were in 7th Century before migration. Their racial closeness to the human beings several centuries back proves cultural preservation over time and space. Thus, the cultural archetypes transferred from generation to generation through unconscious effort of collective unconscious, invariably find manifestation in the literature from this community. Archetypal figures and myths can be easily traced in the works of Rohinton Mistry. In a sense, an obvious result of preservation of culture is preservation of these cultural archetypes. And this will constitute the subject matter of the present study.

Biostimulating Extracts from Arctium lappa L. As Ecological Additives in Soybean Seed Coating Applications
Authors: Szparaga Agnieszka
Published: February 2023

This paper proposes a new biostimulant coating for soybean seeds. The aim of the study was to create a coating for Glycine max (L.) Merr. soybean seeds, using root infusion from Arctium lappa L. as a biostimulant component. The effectiveness of the produced coating was evaluated in a three-year field study. The analysis of the effectiveness of the developed coating was based on the evaluation of plant biometric traits and yield. The study showed that the designed and manufactured soybean seed coating based on the root infusion of Arctium lappa L. can be considered as a new agronomic strategy to improve the productivity of soybean Glicyne max (L.) Merr. under actual field conditions. The application of the biostimulant coating resulted in soybean plants with significantly increased biometric traits (plant height, height of the first pod set, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod) and productivity (yield improvement of more than 10%). Only a reduced weight of 1,000 seeds compared to control samples was noted.

Authors: Nagaraju Vidya K. , Nagarajan Karuppalaki , Kannan Balaji , Ramanathan Subbiah , Duraisamy Ramasamy
Published: February 2023

In India, drip irrigation with plastic mulch is a common practise for irrigation that conserves water. For the design and administration of irrigation regimes, a thorough understanding of the distribution and flow of soil water in the root zone is required. It has been demonstrated that simulation models are effective tools for this purpose. In this work, an automated drip-irrigated Okra field with seven treatments namely T1- Soil moisture-based drip irrigation to 100% FC, T2- Soil moisture-based drip irrigation to 80% FC, T3- Soil moisture-based drip irrigation to 60% FC, T4- Timer based drip irrigation to 100% CWR, T5- Timer based drip irrigation to 80% CWR, T6- Timer based drip irrigation to 60% CWR and T7- Conventional drip irrigation at 100% CWR were utilised to mimic the temporal fluctuations in soil water content using the numerical model HYDRUS- 2D. With the help of the observed data, the inverse solution was used to optimise the soil hydraulic parameters. The model was used to forecast soil water content for seven field treatments at optimal conditions. Root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R2) were used to assess the congruences between the predictions and data. With RMSE ranging from 0.036 to 0.067 cm3 cm- 3, MAE ranging from 0.020 to 0.059, and R2 ranging from 0.848 to 0.959, the findings showed that the model fairly represented the differences in soil water content at all sites in seven treatments.

Let G be a simple connected graph of order n and size m. The matrix L(G)= D(G)− A(G) is called the Laplacian matrix of the graph G,where D(G) and A(G) are the degree diagonal matrix and the adjacency matrix, respectively. Let the vertex degree sequence be d1 ≥ d2 ≥··· ≥ dn and let μ1 ≥ μ2 ≥··· ≥ μn−1 >μn = 0 be the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix of G. The graph invariants, Laplacian energy (LE), the Laplacian-energy-like invariant (LEL) and the Kirchhoff index (Kf), are defined in terms of the Laplacian eigenvalues of graph G, as

Computational complexity of network vulnerability analysis
Authors: Berberler Murat Erşen
Published: February 2023

Residual closeness is recently proposed as a vulnerability measure to characterize the stability of complex networks. Residual closeness is essential in the analysis of complex networks, but costly to compute. Currently, the fastest known algorithms run in polynomial time. Motivated by the fast-growing need to compute vulnerability measures on complex networks, new algorithms for computing node and edge residual closeness are introduced in this paper. Those proposed algorithms reduce the running times to Θ(n3) and Θ (n4) on unweighted networks, respectively, where n is the number of nodes.
Hourly electricity price forecast for short-and long-term, using deep neural networks
Authors: Dombi Gergely , Dulai Tibor
Published: February 2023

Despite the practical importance of accurate long-term electricity price forecast with high resolution - and the significant need for that - only small percentage of the tremendous papers on energy price forecast attempted to target this topic. Its reason can be the high volatility of electricity prices and the hidden – and often unpredictable – relations with its influencing factors.

In our research, we performed different experiments to predicate hourly Hungarian electricity prices using deep neural networks, for short-term and long-term, too. During this work, investigations were made to compare the results of different network structures and to determine the effect of some environmental factors (meteorologic data and date/time - beside the historical electricity prices). Our results were promising, mostly for short-term forecasts - especially by using a deep neural network with one ConvLSTM encoder.
Investigating the AlgoRythmics YouTube channel: the Comment Term Frequency Comparison social media analytics method

Published: February 2023

In this paper we investigate the comments from the AlgoRythmics YouTube channel using the Comment Term Frequency Comparison social media analytics method. Comment Term Frequency Comparison can be a useful tool to understand how a social media platform, such as a Youtube channel is being discussed by users and to identify opportunities to engage with the audience. Understanding viewer opinions and reactions to a video, identifying trends and patterns in the way people are discussing a particular topic, and measuring the effectiveness of a video in achieving its intended goals is one of the most important points of view for a channel to develop. Youtube comment analytics can be a valuable tool looking to understand how the AlgoRythmics channel videos are being received by viewers and to identify opportunities for improvement. Our study focuses on the importance of user feedback based on ten algorithm visualization videos from the AlgoRythmics channel. In order to find evidence how our channel works and new ideas to improve we used the so-called comment term frequency comparison social media analytics method to investigate the main characteristics of user feedback. We analyzed the comments using both Youtube Studio Analytics and Mozdeh Big Data Analysis tool.
Some new results on colour-induced signed graphs
Authors: Sudheer Niranjana , George Ann Cherian , Aniyan Achu , Naduvath Sudev
Published: February 2023

A signed graph is a graph in which positive or negative signs are assigned to its edges. We consider equitable colouring and Hamiltonian colouring to obtain induced signed graphs. An equitable colour-induced signed graph is a signed graph constructed from a given graph in which each edge uv receives a sign (−1)|c(v)−c(u)|,where c is an equitable colouring of vertex v. A Hamiltonian colour-induced signed graph is a signed graph obtained from a graph G in which for each edge e = uv, the signature function σ(uv)=(−1)|c(v)−c(u)|, gives a sign such that, |c(u)− c(v)| ≥ n − 1 − D(u, v) where c is a function that assigns a colour to each vertex satisfying the given condition. This paper discusses the properties and characteristics of signed graphs induced by the equitable and Hamiltonian colouring of graphs.
King Mob and Contempt of Congress
Authors: Carback Joshua T.
Published: February 2023

The aftershocks of the riot at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, continue to ripple through the American public square. The United States Department of Justice brought over 750 criminal charges against the assailants. The United States House of Representatives appointed a Select Committee to investigate the riot. And the public continues to discuss the meaning of January 6 as these criminal prosecutions continue and the House's investigation concludes. Although this is the first time in American history that a mob actually breached the Capitol, riots and insurrections attempting to overawe parliamentary bodies on their own grounds are well precedented in the Anglo-American legal tradition.

The purpose of this article is to provide historical context for affrays like the Trump Riot of January 6 and provide a framework for how legislatures should respond. Parliamentary precedents on both sides of the Atlantic prove that anyone who riots at the legislature is in contempt of parliamentary privilege. The legislature can refer such contempt to the executive for criminal prosecution. In egregious cases, however, the legislature should not hesitate to vindicate itself by using its own contempt power. The legislature should appoint a joint select committee or independent commission to investigate and hold those politically responsible to account.

There may be cases when an officer or an agent of the executive provokes or incites a riot at the Capitol. The legislature must prevail in its efforts to bring them in for a hearing and compel them to produce discovery. Of the three coordinate branches of the federal government the legislature is first among equals. Parliamentary privilege must therefore trump executive privilege during an investigation of an assault on the national assembly. Any member of the executive who contemptuously incites a mob at the seat of government is liable for discipline under the inherent power of Congress.
Octahedral Creativity Framework
Authors: Atienza María Corcuera
Published: February 2023

Currently, Rhodes’ 4p framework of creativity is the most widely accepted framework to understand creativity. In spite of this, there are many new theories focused on some facets of creativity that shape a fragmented puzzle with pieces that overlap and intertwine in a very complex way. The absence of an integrating framework adapted to the incursion of new theories prevents us from achieving that global vision of a finished puzzle, where each theory fits perfectly. The Octahedral Creativity Framework (OCF) fills this gap. It is built on Hermagoras´ framework of seven circumstances (who, in what way, what, where, when, why, and by what means) and 26 current frameworks and theories of creativity, including Rhodes’ 4P creativity framework (Person-who, Process-How, Product-what and Press-where/when). It is shaped as an octahedron, where the six main dimensions are placed on their vertices: Person, Product, Process, Environment, Motive, and Means. Factors derived from dimension interaction are located on its corresponding edges and faces. This research shows graphically how 26 of the main creativity frameworks and theories integrate their dimensions and factors in the OCF. The OCF provides a better understanding of the construct of creativity. This global integrative framework opens new research paths based on certain factors and their interaction with other close elements. The gain in knowledge also suggests pragmatic consequences in the lines of evaluating and teaching creativity not only to enhance economic development but to enhance our personal well-being.
Evaluative Self-efficacy and its Potential Role in the Evaluation and Selection of Ideas: A Metacognitive Perspective
Authors: Puente-Díaz Rogelio , Cavazos-Arroyo Judith
Published: February 2023

In two studies, we examined the creativity of ideas generated, as rated by judges, and metacognitive feelings as antecedents of evaluative self-efficacy and relevance of strengths and weaknesses of the idea generated and accurate idea selection as consequences within the creative process. Participants in both studies completed a measure of metacognitive feelings, evaluative self-efficacy, and a divergent thinking task. In addition, participants rated their ideas and either identified strengths and weaknesses or selected their most creative idea. Two independent judges evaluated all ideas and either assessed the relevance of the strengths and weaknesses identified by participants or selected the most creative idea. Results showed a positive relationship between judges-evaluations and evaluative self-efficacy in one study and a positive relationship between metacognitive feelings and evaluative self-efficacy in both studies. Regarding consequences, results showed a positive relationship between evaluative self-efficacy and the relevance of strengths and weaknesses and a non-significant relationship between evaluative self-efficacy and accurate idea selection. The implications of our results for metacognition and creative beliefs were explained.
Image of Everyday Creativity. An Individual Case of a Person with Passion
Authors: Uszyńska-Jarmoc Janina , Kunat Beata
Published: February 2023

The goal of the present study is to showcase the relation of creativity and passion, captured from the perspective of an analysis of experiences, subjective encounters, and feelings of an everyday creator, as well as analysis of their products. Basing on qualitative analysis of an individual case of a person with passion, the paper presents an image of their everyday creativity. In our research, we referred to the principles of everyday creativity (Richards, 1999, 2007, 2010). Analysis of the results of The Dualistic Model of Passion (Vallerand et al., 2003; Vallerand, 2008, 2010, 2015) became the theoretical frame of reference in our pursuits of the role passion plays in the examined person’s creativity. We conducted an analysis of the process and effects of everyday creativity of this individual in the context of two dimensions of harmonious and obsessive passion (Vallerand, 2015). Additionally, we analyzed and interpreted qualitative material in the context of the concept of Flow (Csíkszentmihályi, 1996) and Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance (Duckworth et al., 2007; Duckworth & Quinn, 2009; Duckworth, 2016). We analyzed traits of the examined everyday creator in the context of the Big-Five concept of personality (McCrae, 1987; McCrae & Costa, 1999). The research shows that using the theory of passion to analyze an individual’s everyday creativity can reveal two extremely different images of a person’s creative works, their personality, as well as the creative process itself. These images are differentiated by harmonious passion and obsessive passion, considered here as disparate sources of creativity.

A study was conducted between 2011 – 2015 in Iraq to evaluate the enterobiasis reported by the Communicable Diseases Control Center (n=220,607 cases) in relation to demographic (age, sex, rural population and family size) and spatial variables (local and regional sources). Females were more parasitized than males, as well as children and youth ages 4 to 15. Approximately 40 % of cases are from the South region provinces (Thiqar, Miasan, Basrah and Wassit). However, most cases occurred in regions with high rural populations and a high family size average. The results may provide insights for researchers assessing management approaches to control enterobiasis in Iraq.

Aphelenchoides bicaudatus associated with grass in South Africa was identified morphologically and molecularly. This population is characterized by a body length of 409 – 529 μm, a stylet length of 9.5 – 13 μm, a post-vulval uterine sac of 45 – 50 μm, and the characteristic tail bifurcated at the end with one prong longer than the other. Molecular analyses based on the 18S and ITS rDNA data confirmed the primary morphological identification of the A. bicaudatus species. The obtained phylogenetic trees revealed a close positioning of the South African population to other representatives of A. bicaudatus with the maximum (1.00) posterior probability value. Principal component analysis (PCA) also indicated a variation within the populations of A. bicaudatus. This is the first report of A. bicaudatus from South Africa.

Various feline parasites are potentially zoonotic thus establishing factors associated with parasitism is of animal and public health interest. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of endoparasites in client-owned cats, living in the area of Toulouse, France, over the period 2015 – 2017, and to investigate possible risk factors. A total of 498 faecal samples from cats of the University Animal Hospital of Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire de Toulouse were analysed, 448 from cats presented for consultation and 50 at post-mortem. Analysis was performed using a commercial flotation enrichment method with a hypersaturated sodium chloride solution and Baermann technique. Further examination of the gastrointestinal tract contents was conducted on necropsied cats. Overall, 11.6 % of cats were positive for endoparasites; 50 (11.2 %) consultation cases and 8 (16 %) post-mortem cases, with no significant difference in prevalence between the groups. Amongst infected cats, most were infected by a single species of parasite and 10.3 % (n=6) were infected with two or more. The most common parasite was Toxocara cati with a prevalence of 9.4 % (n=47). Other endoparasites encountered were: Cystoisospora sp 1.0 % (n=5), Aelurostrongylus abstrusus 1.0 % (n=5), Strongyloides sp 0.6 % (n=3), Dipylidium caninum 0.4 % (n=2), Aonchotheca putorii 0.2 % (n=1), Ancylostomatidae 0.2 % (n=1) and Toxascaris leonina 0.2 % (n=1). The examination of the gastronintestinal tract contents of the necropsied cats revealed Mesocestoides sp 0.4 % (n=2) and Tænia (Hydatigera) tæniaeformis sensu lato 0.2 % (n=1) which are seldomly diagnosed by flotation methods. In this study, increasing age and neutered status were statistically associated with reduced odds of infection by endoparasites (helminth and coccidian). Predictors of significantly increased risk included being male, intact, and not receiving regular anthelmintic treatment. The same risk factors were highlighted specifically for Toxocara cati infections, with rural location being an additional risk factor for infection.

Enterobius vermicularis usually causes trivial infections in the juvenile population. However, its extragenital presentation in adults is relatively rare. We present the case of a 64-year-old female suffering from poorly controlled diabetes and lower abdominal pain. CT scan showed a large tumorous expansion of the lower abdomen, mimicking malignancy. Perioperative findings revealed a large adnexal tumor adhering to the rectum. In addition, the histological examination uncovered a mixed inflammatory infiltrate with multiple surrounding eggs of the parasite and granulomatous reaction in the left fallopian tube and left ovarian cortex. As reported in our article, the rare ectopic sites of Enterobius vermicularis in postmenopause may become a diagnostic challenge.

Enterobius vermicularis is a prevalent intestinal nematode. The objective of the research was to study enterobiasis prevalence in symptomatic children <15 years of age attending community health center in North – Western part of Slovenia in years 2017 – 2022. Perianal tape tests were performed on three consecutive days. The overall prevalence was 34.2 % (296 out of 864 children included). The mean age of children positive for E. vermicularis was 5.77 (95 % CI: 5.51 – 6.04) and 4.74 (95 % CI: 4.54 – 4.95), p<0.001 for children with negative test results. The positivity rate was not significantly different for boys compared to girls (boys 37.0 %, 95 % CI: 32.4 % – 41.8 %, girls 31.8 %, 95 % CI: 27.6 % – 36.2 %, p=0.107). The number of boys with all three samples positive in a sample set was higher compared to girls (p – value 0.002). Family size affected the positivity rate – the mean number of siblings was higher in positive children. Significant association with E. vermicularis infection was proven by the presence of anal pruritus and absence of abdominal discomfort. High E. vermicularis warrants careful monitoring of trends and public health response. It is necessary to encourage the use of hygiene measures in schools and empower parents to recognize enterobiasis timely.

Flash flood events are common in the Mediterranean basin, because of a combination of rugged coastal topography and climatological characteristics. The Balearic Islands are a flood-prone region with the research area, Sóller (Mallorca) being no exception. Between 1900 and 2000, Sóller experienced 48 flash floods with 17 categorised as catastrophic. In Sóller, the local surface water network comprises ephemeral streams. These are natural water networks that only carry water during periods of intense rainfall. Using the available evidence from the 1974 flash flood, this research used Flood Modeller to simulate the event. The research developed a one-dimensional (1D) and a one-dimensional two-dimensional (1D-2D) model that assisted in the understanding of the behaviour of the ephemeral stream during the flood. Analysis of hydraulic parameters such as water flow, depth and velocity provided an appreciation of the interaction between the channel and floodplain. Model development aims to forecast the impending impacts of climate change and urbanisation.

The results suggest that the characteristics of Sóller’s catchment area naturally encourage flash flooding and hence can be deemed a flashy catchment. The model demonstrates that the interaction between the channel and floodplain relies heavily on surface roughness of both areas. The model proves that if flood intensity increases with climate change, the extent of flooding and consequently the damage will become more severe.

Below-average precipitation and above-average air temperature are important factors in the occurrence and intensity of drought. In the context of global climate change, air temperature increase, as a key climatological parameter, has to be considered when calculating the drought index. We introduce a new method of drought analysis, relying on standardized values of precipitation and mean air temperatures for a certain period. The standardized value is calculated by subtracting the average value for each period from each measured value and dividing the obtained value by the standard deviation of the sample. Next, the New Drought Index (NDI) is calculated by subtracting the standardized temperature value from the standardized precipitation value. NDI values were determined for the monthly and annual precipitation time series and mean monthly and annual air temperatures measured at the stations Split-Marjan and Zagreb-Grič between 1948 and 2020. The NDI indicates that the risk of drought has intensified significantly in recent decades, which may be related to the effect of global warming.

In order to mitigate vineyard degradation, we study different soil management to obtain the most suitable practices. To study the effects of water erosion on vineyards, a rainfall experiment (58 mm h-1 for 30 min) was applied on Anthrosols in humid conditions to assess the impact of treatment (Tilled, Straw and Grass) and season (Spring and Summer). Higher bulk density (BD) and soil water content (SWC) were on the Straw treatment in the Spring period. Also, the Tilled and Grass treatment noticed higher mean weight diameter (MWD) and water-stable aggregates (WSA). In the Summer, BD, SWC and MWD were significantly higher on the Grass treatment. Higher values of time to ponding (TP) and time to runoff (TR) in Spring were recorded on the Grass treatment, Runoff was higher on the Straw treatment. Higher sediment concentration (SC) and soil loss (SL) were noticed during the Tilled treatment. In the Summer period, TP was higher on the Straw treatment, while TR and Runoff were higher on the Straw, SC and SL on the Tilled treatment. This study confirms the positive effects of grass cover and straw mulching as a sustainable agricultural practice in sloped vineyards of north-western Croatia.
Discharge coefficient, effective head and limit head in the Kindsvater-Shen formula for small discharges measured by thin-plate weirs with a triangular notch

Published: February 2023

The paper deals with the determination of the discharge coefficient, effective head and newly the limit head in the Kindsvater-Shen formula for the determination of a relatively small discharge of clear water using a thin-plate weir with a triangular notch. The determination of the discharge coefficient, effective head and limit head is based on extensive experimental research and is verified by previous measurements by other authors. The experimental research was characterised by a large range of notch angles (from 5.25° to 91.17°), weir heights (from 0.00 m to 0.20 m), and water temperatures (from 15 °C to 45 °C), as well as a focus on relatively small heads (from 0.02 m to 0.18 m), which is where the strengths of the Kindsvater-Shen formula stand out. The experimental research supplemented existing knowledge about the overflow occurring with small heads and small weir notch angles. The newly determined dependencies in the Kindsvater-Shen formula extended its applicability to weirs with small notch angles and newly enabled the determination of the limit head, which restricts its applicability in the determination of small discharges.
