Framework for Aleatory Variability and Epistemic Uncertainty for the Ground-Motion Characterization Based on the Level of Simplification
Authors: Liou Irene , Abrahamson Norman
Published: December 2024

Aleatory variability and epistemic uncertainty are commonly used concepts in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA); however, separating uncertainty into aleatory variability and epistemic uncertainty is often seen as arbitrary. As part of the ground-motion characterization, we present a clarifying framework for defining aleatory variability and epistemic uncertainty for ground-motion models (GMMs). Aleatory variability is mainly due to unmodeled physical behaviors affecting ground motion. In contrast, epistemic uncertainty refers to the scientific uncertainty that the earthquake effects included in the model are modeled correctly. What is treated as aleatory variability and epistemic uncertainty depends on the level of model simplification. Simple models have larger aleatory variability and smaller epistemic uncertainty than complex models that model more physical behaviors. The framework has two parts: the method component, related to the algorithm and basic formulation for computing the ground motion, and the parametric component, which captures the effect of inputs to the GMM that are not included in the hazard integral. Each part has three components: aleatory variability, epistemic uncertainty in the median ground motion, and epistemic uncertainty in the size of the aleatory variability. The six terms provide a framework to ensure that all parts of the aleatory variability and epistemic uncertainty are included once and only once in the hazard calculation. The framework is especially beneficial as a guide for incorporating more complex GMMs into PSHA; it clarifies the separation of aleatory variability and epistemic uncertainty for nonergodic GMMs and numerical simulations.

Drought is one of the important abiotic stresses that significantly affect plant growth and development process. The use of grafted plants and vermicompost application creates significant potential for tolerance to drought stress. The scope of the study; consists of the evaluation of the effects of grafting and vermicompost applications on the morphophysiological properties of eggplant under drought stress by principal component analysis (PCA). In the experiment, different amounts of vermicompost-V (0, 1, 2, 3%) were applied to the grafting and non-grafting plants under different levels of drought stress conditions (Control; 100%; mild stress-MS; 70% and severe stress-SS; 30% irrigation) at the greenhouse. In terms of traits studied, the first two of the components had 94.39% of the total variation in the grafted plants. PCA showed that 'V(3%)+MS' and 'V(2%)+MS' were in significant and positive correlations with SPAD, leaf area-LA, relative water content-RWC, shoot dry weight-SDW, and root fresh weight -RFW. 'V(%3)+MS' and 'V(%2)+MS' applications; shoot length-SL correlated positively and weakly with stomata conductivity-gs, shoot fresh weight-SFW, shoot diameter-SD, and root dry weight-RDW. Based on the relationships between the variables; in general, the correlations of all the examined parameters with each other were found to be significant and positive. Especially; the positive and significant correlations between SPAD and LA and RWC, SDW and RFW, gs and SL and SFW, and RDW and SD were obvious. Consequently, the use of grafted plants and V treatments in eggplants under MS conditions improved the morphophysiological parameters of the plants and increased their tolerance to stress. Therefore, it can be seen as an effective strategy for sustainable agricultural practices.

SPECTRA OF LIGHTNING IN SOME WINDOWS OF TRANSPARENCY OF X-RAY AND γ-RADIATION
Authors: Doikov D. N. , Doikov M. D.
Published: December 2024

The processes associated with the formation of lightning and their spectra during atmospheric and volcanic phenomena were considered as a means of studying the atmospheric plasma in the X-ray and soft γ-ray bands. It was found that the time intervals, power of the processes, and their energy make it possible to develop new generation equipment. The lightning spectra cover the X-ray and gamma-ray bands. Hard radiation detectors have been developed and proposed for their registration. It is shown that in a physical system of emitter (lightning), absorber (medium between lightning and detector), and the detector itself, the spectral structure on the detector depends on the distance to
the source and the chemical composition of the environment around thunderstorms and volcanoes. Therefore, we have calculated and found the intervals of quanta energies in which the absorber response is small. Such spectral regions are called transparency windows and are necessary for the design of appropriate detectors. In the transparency windows, the original spectra of lightning discharges are observed. To conduct field work and reduce the influence of the atmosphere during a thunderstorm, the percentage contribution of air and water extrusion in atmospheric thunderstorms was found. For volcanic discharges, silicates and Al2O3 particles were taken. The parameters of the previously designed high-speed electrical interface suitable for operation under high voltage conditions, which is supplied to the CsPbBr3 or Lu(SiO)5 detector-crystal, were obtained and described. The main economic and operational advantages of the proposed spectroscopic equipment in the field are emphasized. The operation of the high-speed spectrograph in outer space was modeled in the absence of the need for its operation without deep cooling. The transparency windows and the structure of the radiation field in the X-ray and γ-ray bands were calculated and systematized.

Published: December 2024

The paper presents the results of the analysis of magnetospheric-ionospheric sources of geomagnetic variations for the superstorm of May 10–13, 2024. This event occurred at the maximum of the 25th cycle of the Wolfe solar activity and at the beginning of the 100-year cycle of geomagnetic activity. During this period, superstorms similar to the storms of October–November 2003 will occur.
To analyze the sources of variations, 1-minute values of Polish and Ukrainian geomagnetic observatories (Table 1) were used. The sources of geomagnetic variations were identified based on the data on the indices of geomagnetic activity Dst, Kp, AL, AU, AE and model calculations. The influence of magnetospheric sources and auroral ionospheric electric currents in the middle latitudes is diagnosed. The contribution of each source is calculated.

The essential aim of this paper is to identify the effect of corporate sustainability performance (CSP) on corporate financial performance (CFP) among Polish companies, including all dimensions of sustainability. To achieve this goal, the main research hypothesis, stating that the relationship between CSP and corporate sales performance is positive, has been formulated. The empirical verification of this hypothesis is conducted among 21 companies from the WIG-ESG Index in two different research periods. The basic method of analysis is the panel regression model, which includes corporate sustainability scores as independent variables. All data was retrieved from the Refinitiv Eikon database and the Emerging Market Information Service. The main estimation result is that sales revenues are positively affected by environmental sustainability performance in the long period, while in the short period, governance sustainability performance has a positive impact on the return on sales.

Aim: COVID-19 is linked to mental health challenges. In this study, we assessed anxiety, depression, sleep quality, and their
correlation with inflammatory markers in COVID-19 inpatients.
Material and Methods: In this prospective clinical study, COVID-19 inpatients evaluated twice, 2 months apart. During the initial evaluation, participants completed the Sociodemographic Data Form, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Additionally, relevant clinical information and laboratory results were extracted from the hospital automation system. In the second assessment, HADS and PSQI were again administered.
Results: In the psychiatric diagnosis group (In the group with a past psychiatric diagnosis such as depression, anxiety disorders and sleep disorders) (n=26), platelet (PLT) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) values were significantly higher than in others (z= -2.090, p=0.037; z=-2.561, p=0.010). Patients' HADS-Anxiety scores positively correlated with PSQI scores (r = 0.230, p = 0.015). HADS-Anxiety (p = 0.853), HADS-Depression (p = 0.562), and PSQI (p = 0.737) scores showed no significant change from the initial evaluation at the 2nd-month endpoint. Hospitalization duration correlated positively with neutrophil- to-lymphocyte ratio NLR (p = 0.016, r = 0.229), PLR (p = 0.008, r = 0.251), Ferritin (p < 0.001, r = 0.368), D-Dimer (p = 0.003, r = 0.285), and CRP values (p < 0.001, r = 0.330), while negatively with lymphocyte count (p = 0.004, r = -0.273).
Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of monitoring psychiatric symptoms, such as anxiety, depression and sleep problems, during COVID-19 process and its relation with inflammatory parameters. The results addresses the controversy surrounding psychological symptoms linked to inflammation, and may contribute to the literature.

Published: December 2024

Monografia stanowi kompendium wiedzy z dziedziny szeroko pojętych finansów, o istocie i mechanizmach funkcjonowania sektora bankowego oraz wiążących się z nimi problemach. Przedmiot analizy to minimalny wymóg w zakresie funduszy własnych i zobowiązań kwalifikowalnych (ang. Minimum Requirement on Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities – MREL) wprowadzony w systemach bankowych krajów UE w celu zapewnienia odporności poszczególnych instytucji finansowych na negatywne skutki zmian w otoczeniu gospodarczym, poprzez utrzymywanie rezerw kapitałowych na poziomie umożliwiającym pokrycie ewentualnych strat i rekapitalizację. W publikacji opisano zagadnienie  zasadności stosowania w praktyce wymogów MREL. Zakres publikacji obejmuje sektor bankowy w Polsce, w szczególności grupę banków notowanych na GPW, a także porównanie poziomów MREL w sektorze bankowym w Polsce z poziomami w sektorach bankowych innych krajów UE. Celem opracowania jest oszacowanie potrzeb związanych ze spełnieniem MREL i przedstawienie praktycznych aspektów dotyczących tego procesu, m.in. rodzaju wykorzystywanych instrumentów, ponoszonych kosztów i możliwych czynników ryzyka. W monografii poszukiwano odpowiedzi na pytania badawcze: Jaka jest skala potrzeb w zakresie pozyskania funduszy własnych i zobowiązań kwalifikowalnych banków? Jakie instrumenty są  wykorzystywane dla spełnienia wymogu MREL? Czy możliwe jest istotne zwiększenie ryzyka zagrożenia stabilności finansowej, gdyby poszczególne instytucje inwestowały w instrumenty MREL?
Waga problemu MREL jest niezwykle istotna, zwłaszcza w okresach kryzysu. W opracowaniu autorzy przedstawili istotę wymogu MREL i charakterystykę wymogów ostrożnościowych, opisali zasady jego wyliczania, zaprezentowali trendy i zjawiska szczegółowe w zakresie  MREL, ukazali analizę doświadczeń innych krajów, a także koszty, czynniki ryzyka i praktyczne problemy wdrożenia tego wymogu.  W dotychczasowych badaniach rzadko podejmowano próby pogłębionej analizy wymogu w zakresie funduszy własnych i zobowiązań kwalifikowanych w sektorze bankowym. Oryginalność niniejszej publikacji stanowi zebranie w całość informacji na temat MREL i przedstawienie tego zagadnienia w perspektywie jego implementacji. Jest to jedna z pierwszych pozycji ujmujących w sposób tak syntetyczny i zarazem szczegółowy tego typu problematykę na rynku wydawniczym w Polsce.

The role of oleic and linoleic acids determining the oil quality were controlled by alleles a09 (ahFAD2A) and b09 (ahFAD2B) respectively. Groundnut exhibiting significant levels of oleic acid can supplement variety of nutritional and physiological benefits. The present study involved the investigation of major biometrical and nutritional traits on the putative mutants developed from the groundnut variety TMV(Gn)13. Methods: Genetic material used for the present study involved M3 populations (200Gy, 250Gy and 30 EMS, 50 EMS) developed involving a pureline from TMV (Gn) 13. The seeds of TMV(Gn)13 were exposed to gamma irradiation with an acute dose ranged between 100 and 700 Gy and EMS during Kar 2024. Based upon the GR 50 values, the progenies of 200 gy and 250 gy besides chemical EMS dose of 30 EMS and 50 EMS dosage were evaluated in M1 during Rabi 2022 and selected putative mutants was forwarded to M2 during Kharif 2023. Phenotypic traits including oil quality traits along with LLS were investigated. Result: Biometrical traits viz., pod length, kernel width and other yield contributing traits had exhibited minimum coefficient of variation while the greater CV was registered for the oil quality traits. Putative mutants PM 8, PM 24 and PM 32 construed as superior mutants among the thirty-two putative mutants expressing greater value for most of the yield and oil quality traits. Principal component analysis construed that the first five principal components explained about 86.99 per cent of the total genetic variability. Cluster analysis grouped 32 putative mutants and three checks under three clusters indicating the maximum accommodation of putative mutants in cluster I. The putative mutants were genotyped with allele specific marker along with the primers specific to LLS and oleic acid trait implicated that Girnar 4(71.27%), PM 8(43.23%), PM 24(44.34%) and PM 32(43.47%) were found to have ahFAD2A mutation with high oleic acid content when compared with the control TMV (Gn) 13 (35-39%).

Investigation of Simple Shape Descriptors for NACA 4 Digit Airfoils
Authors: Tuna Haydar , Yırtıcı Özcan
Published: December 2024

This study aims to define new simple shape descriptors to analyze airfoils. The ImageJ platform is used to calculate twelve different shape descriptors such as area, convex hull, contour temperature and solidity by performing image processing. One of the most important findings is that an increase in the thickness of an airfoil leads to corresponding increases in its area, perimeter, area of minimum enclosing area, and convex hull area. Another noteworthy discovery is that the values derived from these basic features, either increasing or decreasing. Simple shape features in the study are not used independently, as they do not possess distinct characteristics that set them apart from one another. Machine learning and deep learning applications can achieve greater success when these features are combined with other elements. The combination of these features with other shape attributes, such as chain code histograms, shape signatures, and central moments, can enhance the success of machine learning and deep learning applications.

Published: December 2024

Community-based waste management is a program designed to empower citizens, who are the primary producers of household waste, to take responsibility for ensuring that the waste they generate is sorted and utilized as efficiently as possible before disposal. This initiative aims to empower residents to manage organic waste by applying composter reactor technology through anaerobic fermentation methods within residential areas. To implement this program, we have partnered with the BSU ASRI BMP Waste Bank Unit, which has been active since 2021 and possesses experience and expertise in waste management. The activity began with planning, followed by a series of steps including socialization, demonstrations, the creation, and distribution of composters. The program concluded with an evaluation to assess the sustainability and effectiveness of the activities carried out. The results show that the application of composter reactor technology on the dasa wisma community has successfully transformed household waste into compost and liquid organic fertilizer. These products have been used as planting media and fertilizers for ornamental and horticultural plants at home gardens. Additionally, the use of decomposers has significantly reduced the volume of organic waste previously discarded by converting it into valuable products.

In each instalment, the author offers a visually appealing presentation of a selection of data pertaining to specific aspects of his daily life, such as work, food, drink, travel, music, photography, etc. This article aims to examine this work as an instance of data-driven autobiography—an experimental form of autobiography whose structure and content are determined by the empirical data that has been systematically gathered—and to consider its capacity to register various aspects of change in its author’s life, such as his work–play ratio, food and alcohol intake, and reading habits. The analysis is embedded in the context of a critical discussion about the quantified self (QS) movement and its positivist outlook on the possibility of enhancing one’s self-knowledge through a close engagement with personal data. The article argues that while Felton shares the belief in the revelatory nature of data, he resists the naivety associated with so-called dataism.

Novel methods to determine hydrothermal residual stresses in fiber-reinforced polymer composite
Authors: Wang John , Adcock Paul W. , Chiu Wing Kong
Published: December 2024

Unidirectional (UD) and unbalanced carbon-epoxy laminates were conditioned under various temperature and humidity conditions. Hydrothermal strains in these laminates manifested as linear dimensional and curvature changes, respectively. Through nondestructive measurements of these changes, the relationship between residual stress in a composite material and its exposure to moisture and thermal conditions was established. Furthermore, novel investigations were undertaken using unbalanced laminates to determine the relaxation of residual stresses under fatigue loading and to measure the residual stresses through direct force measurement using a four-point bend test. The results indicated that the offset effect of hydro and thermal conditions on residual stress is significant, even though it is often ignored in design practice. In the UD and unbalanced laminates, under conditions corresponding to a typical operational moisture content (0.5% moisture content), up to 35% and 38% of thermal residual stress is offset, respectively. The fatigue test, with a tensile peak load of 2,000 µε, showed significant decrease in residual stress. An average decrease of 17.3% occurred after the first cycle, with the total decrease reaching 33.8% after 30,000 cycles. The residual stress relaxation could have a significant impact on fatigue life predictions of composite structures. A four-point bend test was used to determine the load required to flatten unbalanced laminates. A finite element analysis concurred with the experimental results, and a symmetrical model of a balanced laminate was further used to calculate residual strains. Residual strains of −221 µε and 3,192 µε were found in the longitudinal and transverse direction plies, respectively.

Background/Objectives: HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infectious agent worldwide and adolescents are at high risk of becoming infected with HPV. Our study aimed at understanding how much adolescents know about the virus and its effects, and to obtain infor-mation on attitudes and behaviors regarding HPV vaccination to close these gaps. Methods: Within the ESPRIT project, 598 lower and upper secondary school students from 3 Italian regions were surveyed between December 2023 and March 2024 using an online questionnaire with 7 questions on awareness, knowledge and attitudes towards HPV and the HPV vaccine. A regres-sion model was used to determine correlations based on sex, living context, province of residence and school type. Results: Younger students believed that HPV causes HIV/AIDS (8.9%) or hepati-tis C (3.0%) and rarely mentioned anal (21%) and oral sex (9.6%) as ways of transmission. Among older students the misconceptions were similar, with worrying rates of students stating that HPV causes cancer only in women (18%) or men (2.4%), and low rates of identifying trans-mission risk from anal (41%) and oral (34%) intercourse and genital contact (38%). HPV vac-cination rate was quite low (47% in younger, 61% in older students). Considering regressions, the living context was decisive for the knowledge of younger students; sex, school type and province of residence in older students. Conclusions: Awareness and knowledge of HPV and the HPV vaccine are low among Italian students, and reported vaccination coverage is below the national target. Coordinated efforts at national level are needed to address this public health issue.

Published: December 2024

Background/Objectives: Whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) is widely recognized for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Despite growing interest in its therapeutic potential, the impact of WBC on functional performance, pain perception, sleep quality and quality of life among indi-viduals with multiple sclerosis (MS) remains underexplored. This study aimed to assess the ef-fects of a 10-session WBC protocol on functional and psychological parameters in patients with MS and compare them with individuals without neurological disorders. Methods: A total of 73 participants, divided into two groups: non-neurological individuals (non-MS, n=43) and patients with MS (MS, n=30), underwent 10 WBC sessions (-120 °C to -130 °C) over two weeks. Assess-ments included the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), 30-Second Chair Stand Test (30CTS), Timed-Up-and-Go Test (TUG), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, WHOQOL-Bref conducted pre-treatment, post-treatment, and at 10-day follow-up. Results: In the MS group, significant im-provements were observed post-treatment in NRS, 30CTS, WHOQOL-1, and PSQI. However, only CTS and WHOQOL-3 maintained improvements during follow-up. In the non-MS group, statis-tically significant improvements were observed post-treatment across most parameters, except for NRS and WHOQOL-3, with most effects diminishing by follow-up. No deterioration in any assessed parameters was observed in either group. Conclusions: WBC demonstrates potential benefits for managing MS symptoms, particularly pain and sleep quality, with no observed dete-rioration in parameters and some effects emerging only during follow-up, underscoring its safety and the need for further research on long-term outcomes.

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors are a diverse group of tumors predominantly found in the gastrointestinal tract or respiratory system. Methods: This study aimed to measure the serum concentrations of LRP6, SFRP3, and DVL1 using the ELISA method in patients with NETs (N=80) and a control group (N=62). We evaluated the results against various demographic, clinicopathological, and biochemical characteristics. Results: Our analyses revealed that the concentration of SFRP3 in patients with neuroendocrine tumors was significantly elevated (p<0.001) compared to the control group. Additionally, DVL1 concentrations were significantly higher (p<0.01) in patients with BP-NETs compared to GEP-NETs. Furthermore, DVL1 analysis showed a moderate negative correlation with chromogranin A (p<0.001) and weak negative correlations with serotonin (p<0.05) and 5-HIAA (p<0.05). Significant negative correlation was also observed between DVL1 and age in the control group (p<0.01), and between LRP6 and Ki-67 in the study group. Conclusions: These results suggest that changes in SFRP3 and DVL1 pathways play a key role in NET development. Elevated levels of these proteins highlight their importance in tumor biology, with SFRP3 and DVL1 potentially crucial in NET molecular mechanisms. Further research is needed to explore their roles and potential in diagnosis and treatment.
Numerical Simulation of Debris Flow Behavior Over a Series of Groundsills
Authors: Jan Chyan Deng , Zeng Yi Chao , Dey Litan
Published: December 2024

Debris flows propagating in natural environments often encounter irregular terrain features, such as bottom roughness and man-made structures like groundsills, which significantly influence their behavior and dynamics. In practice, groundsills are commonly used as debris flow mitigation structures. This study examines the effects of a beam-type groundsill array on the flow behavior of sediment mixtures in an inclined channel using numerical simulations. The sediment mixtures, modeled as Bingham fluids, were tested as they flowed over groundsill arrays with varying densities, characterized by the spacing-to-height ratio (d/h) ranging from 2 to 10. The findings indicate that interaction with the groundsills produces a hydraulic jump-like flow, reaching a height approximately 2.2 times the approach flow depth across different array densities. High-density arrays (/h ≤ 4) substantially hindered flow propagation, reducing front velocities but leading to sediment buildup upstream of the groundsills. Conversely, low-density arrays (d/h > 4) facilitated smoother flow with higher velocities. These insights into the relationship between array density, flow behavior, and sediment trapping provide valuable guidance for optimizing groundsill array designs to effectively reduce the mobility of gravity-driven flows of non-Newtonian fluids (such as snow avalanches, debris, lava, or mudflows) and mitigate associated risks.

Published: December 2024

Indoor air quality (IAQ) at educational institutions has emerged as an important public health issue, affecting the health and cognitive performance of school-aged children, students, and faculty alike. This scoping review study seeks to investigate and synthesize current literature on the factors influencing the current state of research on indoor air quality in educational institutions, as well as its implications for public health. The technique thoroughly investigated peer-reviewed journals, international organizations, and government reports, as well as case studies on IAQ in educational contexts. Using keywords such as "indoor air quality," "educational institutions," "public health," '' Europe, '' and "adverse health outcomes," the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as the criteria use of quality assessments. The results show that low IAQ is connected with a variety of public health issues, including health difficulties and cognitive impairments, particularly in vulnerable populations such as children and teachers. Inadequate ventilation, the presence of volatile organic compounds, mold growth, and external contaminants are all common causes of poor indoor air quality. Monitoring and management measures are required to improve IAQ in schools, encouraging student's health and academic performance, as well as policy implications of the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in addressing this public health concern.
