Authors: Soares Pedro M. M. , Johannsen Frederico , Lima Daniela C. A. , Lemos Gil , Bento Virgílio , Bushenkova Angelina
Published: June 2023

Abstract. Deep learning (DL) methods have recently garnered attention from the climate change community, as an innovative approach for downscaling climate variables from Earth System and Global Climate Models (ESGCMs) with horizontal resolutions still too coarse to represent regional-to-local-scale phenomena. In the context of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6), ESGCMs simulations were conducted for the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), at resolutions ranging from 0.70º to 3.75º. Here, four Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures were evaluated for their ability to downscale, to a resolution of 0.1º, seven CMIP6 ESGCMs over the Iberian Peninsula - a known climate change hotspot, due to its increased vulnerability to projected future warming and drying conditions. The study is divided into three stages: (1) evaluating the performance of the four CNN architectures in predicting mean, minimum, and maximum temperatures, as well as daily precipitation, trained using ERA5 data, and compared with the Iberia01 observational dataset; (2) downscaling the CMIP6 ESGCMs using the trained CNN architectures and further evaluating the ensemble against Iberia01; and (3) constructing a multi-model ensemble of CNN-based downscaled projections for temperature and precipitation over the Iberian Peninsula at 0.1º resolution throughout the 21st century, under four Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios. Upon validation and satisfactory performance evaluation, the DL downscaled projections demonstrate overall agreement with the CMIP6 ESGCM ensemble in terms of temperature and precipitation projections. Moreover, the advantages of using a high-resolution DL downscaled ensemble of ESGCM climate projections are evident, offering substantial added value in representing regional climate change over Iberia. Notably, a clear warming trend is observed, consistent with previous studies in this area, with projected temperature increases ranging from 2 ºC to 6 ºC depending on the climate scenario. Regarding precipitation, robust projected decreases are observed in western and southwestern Iberia, particularly after 2040. These results may offer a new tool for providing regional climate change information for adaptation strategies based on CMIP6 ESGCMs prior to the next phase of the European branch from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (EURO-CORDEX) experiments.

Published: June 2023

Abstract. The Bayesian model averaging (BMA), hydrological uncertainty processor (HUP), and HUP-BMA methods have been widely used to quantify flood forecast uncertainty. This study, for the first time, introduced a copula-based HUP in the framework of BMA and proposed the CHUP-BMA method to bypass the need for normal quantile transformation of the HUP-BMA method. The proposed ensemble forecast scheme consists of 8 members (two forecast precipitation inputs, two advanced long short-term memory (LSTM) models, and two objective functions used to calibrate parameters) and is applied to the interval basin between Xiangjiaba and Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) dam-site. The ensemble forecast performance of the HUP-BMA and CHUP-BMA methods is explored in the 6–168h forecast horizons. The TGR inflow forecasting results show that the two methods can improve the forecast accuracy over the selected member with the best forecast accuracy, and the CHUP-BMA performs much better than the HUP-BMA. Compared with the HUP-BMA method, the forecast interval width with the 90 % confidence level and continuous ranked probability score metrics of the CHUP-BMA method are highest reduced by 28.42 % and 17.86 %, respectively. The probability forecast of the CHUP-BMA method has better reliability and sharpness and is more suitable for flood ensemble forecasts, providing reliable risk information for flood control decision-making.
Climate targets, carbon dioxide removal and the potential role of Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement
Authors: Oschlies Andreas , Bach Lennart , Rickaby Rosalind , Satterfield Terre , Webb Romany M. , Gattuso Jean-Pierre
Published: June 2023

Abstract. The Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below 2 °C requires ambitious emission reduction and the balancing of remaining emissions through carbon sinks, i.e. the deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR). While ambitious climate protection scenarios until now consider primarily land-based CDR methods, there is growing concern about their potential to deliver sufficient CDR, and marine CDR options receive more and more interest. Based on idealized theoretical studies, Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) appears as a promising marine CDR method. However, the knowledge base is insufficient for a robust assessment of its practical feasibility, of its side effects, social and governance aspects as well as monitoring, reporting and verification issues. A number of research efforts aim to improve this in a timely manner. We provide an overview on the current situation of developing OAE as marine CDR method, and describe the history that has led to the creation of the OAE research Best Practices Guide.
El Sus marroquí, polo de atracción económica en los comienzos de la expansión atlántica
Authors: Aznar Vallejo Eduardo
Published: June 2023

El Sus atrajo pronto el interés de los colonizadores europeos, tanto por la calidad de sus producciones como por su destacado papel en el comercio africano. Además, para los castellanos se trataba de un territorio próximo y muy relacionado con Canarias; mientras que para los portugueses constituía una importante escala entre sus plazas norteafricanas y las de Guinea. Su instalación contó inicialmente con la ventaja de enfrentarse a poderes tribales, que carecían de la fortaleza de los reinos del norte. Frente a ellos se irá consolidando el poder de los Jerifes, interesado en incorporar las poblaciones locales y frenar el avance extranjero. Actores menores eran los nómadas y sedentarios de la región, que basculaban entre la defensa de modo de vida tradicional y la colaboración con alguna de las potencias. También contaban con protagonismo las comunidades hebreas, dado su notable papel económico y diplomático. Nuestro análisis abarca desde los comienzos de la instalación efectiva en la región, producida a mediados del siglo XV; hasta la pérdida de Santa Cruz del Cabo de Aguer, acaecida en 1541. El cambio en la relación de fuerzas entre colonizadores e indígenas se produjo al final del primer tercio del siglo XVI, momento a partir del cual la impronta extranjera declinó rápidamente.

Por tal motivo se decidió hacer una aproximación vivencial hacia la relación directa que tiene cierto segmento de la población mencionada, con las riberas del río Gaira, para saber de primera mano cómo es su comportamiento, sus realidades circundantes y sus maneras de resolver día a día el problema de la contaminación de esta importante fuente hídrica. Partiendo de las premisas anteriormente mencionadas los estudiantes del Semillero de Investigación Santa Marta Sostenible CUN, los habitantes de Gaira fueron partícipes de este proyecto de comunicación, en el que pudieron interactuar con habitantes de la zona de Puente Viejo de la comunidad gairera, en la ciudad de Santa Marta. De ahí se obtuvo información importante que permitió determinar el deterioro de su principal fuente hídrica y la relación que poseen los habitantes de este lugar con su río y entre ellos mismos.
La gestión cultural en Colombia en escenarios de globalización
Authors: Lovich Villamizar Verena
Published: June 2023

Si bien la globalización como realidad y concepto es un fenómeno que se suele caracterizar desde su aspecto económico, no se debe olvidar que este representa apenas una arista de un entramado mucho mayor. Sus dimensiones culturales, políticas, sociales y ambientales se encuentran estrechamente vinculadas, no precisamente porque estén siendo jalonadas por la inevitable incidencia de factores económicos, de mercado o financieros, sino porque también tienen sus propias dinámicas, que están en constante movimiento y desarrollo. Esto ocurre gracias a que estas últimas poseen particularidades o necesidades propias, sujetas a factores regionales, nacionales y locales que son capaces tanto de lograr un alcance internacional, como de incluir un sinnúmero de actores −unos más influyentes que otros, que van desde los países y sus gobiernos, hasta la sociedad civil, pasando por las organizaciones no gubernamentales, las multinacionales y trasnacionales−. Este artículo reflexiona sobre la dimensión cultural de la globalización y sus alcances en Colombia, a través del análisis de las políticas públicas que desarrollan la gestión internacional de la cultura en el país.
Caracterización de los graduados de los programas de Administración y Administración Financiera de la Universidad de la Amazonia 2013-2015
Authors: Forero Mendoza Alexandra , Tovar Cardozo Ginna
Published: June 2023

El seguimiento a los egresados es importante para las universidades que buscan retroalimentar sus programas educativos y alcanzar estándares formativos de calidad que den prestigio y reconocimiento institucional. Este seguimiento exige caracterizar a los egresados –conocer su estado laboral y desarrollo profesional– con el objetivo principal de establecer vínculos, por ejemplo, a través de eventos que reúnan a la institución con los profesionales. La presente investigación se realizó en los programas Administración y Administración Financiera de la Universidad de la Amazonia en Florencia (Caquetá). Se trató de una indagación empírico-analítica de tipo exploratoria y descriptiva, con instrumentos de tipo cuantitativo. Su principal meta era conocer el nivel de satisfacción de los egresados frente a los dos programas, sus características personales, la información académica, la situación laboral y finalmente su opinión individual de la Universidad de la Amazonia. Este ejercicio encontró que el 68,6% de los egresados están vinculados laboralmente y que el 85,7 % está ejerciendo su carrera. Ante este panorama, surge la necesidad de crear estrategias de mejoramiento para los egresados, desarrollar actividades que fortalezcan sus habilidades profesionales y generar convenios institucionales que involucren al egresado con actividades económicas –teniendo en cuenta que la universidad cuenta con una infraestructura en donde se desarrollan procesos productivos y que en Florencia están establecidas grandes entidades bancarias–.
Corrupción: ¿Asunto público o privado? ¿Fenómeno histórico o reciente?
Authors: Moreno Barbosa Luís Enrique
Published: June 2023

La corrupción es un tema de plena y permanente vigencia en el contexto de nuestro país ocupando por tanto el interés no solo del Gobierno Nacional y de los Organismos de Control del Estado, si no de Organizaciones Civiles y de la Comunidad Internacional. Por considerar que existe un sesgo generalizado en la acepción del término “corrupción”, que no permite una cierta claridad acerca de las cifras, los alcances y los efectos de la misma, así como la ausencia de precisión en cuanto a sus orígenes y su devenir, este articulo intentará a partir de la definición dada por el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española y de los planteamientos hechos por diferentes autores en diversos contextos, conseguir elementos que permitan mayor claridad sobre la acepción, los orígenes y el devenir del término corrupción, para demostrar como conclusión que este flagelo público debe su existencia a los intereses privados y que sus alcances y efectos son mayores a los publicitados.

El contenido económico de la política social dirigida al empleo y su forma política en la organización de los trabajadores desocupados : un análisis de la implementación del plan Argentina trabaja en la ciudad de Mar del Plata (2009 –2018)
Authors: Gonzalo Martín Peruzzaro
Published: June 2023

Las preguntas que orientan esta investigación tienen su origen en mi inserción como estudiante, a través del Taller de Práctica Integrada, en el territorio donde se organizan las cooperativas de trabajo de distintas organizaciones sociales de Mar del Plata. Primero formándome como trabajador social mediante las prácticas y luego como militante político de la organización que reúne, entre otros espacios, al Movimiento de trabajadores ocupados y desocupados Teresa Rodríguez, la reflexión sobre la unidad en la acción política de distintas fracciones de la clase obrera fue una preocupación constante. A su vez, los interrogantes en torno a la acción política de los desocupados beneficiarios de políticas sociales y su unidad con distintas fracciones de trabajadores me puso frente a la necesidad de cuestionar la forma fragmentaria de explicar la propia acción política, en la que aparecía como algo ajeno el momento de la reflexión sobre la misma, es decir, el binomio teoría-práctica.

Modelagem e simulação da produção de hidromel em biorreator em batelada utilizando a levedura Saccharomyces Cerevisiae.
Authors:   , Sousa de Lima Sabrina
Published: June 2023

O hidromel é uma bebida alcoólica obtida a partir da fermentação, usando mel como substrato. Nesses processos é de grande importância o conhecimento da cinética, para o entendimento das taxas de crescimento celular, consumo do substrato e geração de produto. Os parâmetros cinéticos associados à modelagem e ao planejamento experimental permitem realizar simulações e determinar as melhores condições de operação. Diante disso, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo obter um modelo matemático que pudesse representar o comportamento cinético na produção do hidromel, em batelada e aplicando a levedura Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Objetivou-se também realizar a simulação para diferentes concentrações iniciais de células e de substrato, visando o alcance de condições ótimas. Foi aplicado um modelo matemático, não estruturado e não segregado, partindo de um balanço de massa para cada espécie presente no biorreator, sendo gerado um conjunto de equações diferenciais que foi resolvido utilizando o software Polymath®. Após ajuste do modelo aos dados estudados, foi realizada a simulação utilizando o planejamento composto central para definir as condições iniciais de operação. Dentre os modelos testados para crescimento celular, o de Levenspiel apresentou melhor ajuste em relação às concentrações de substrato e de produto, sendo os parâmetros cinéticos utilizados os rendimentos de células por substrato, YC/S = 0,0087 g/g, e de produto por substrato, YP/S = 0,44 g/g, a máxima velocidade específica de crescimento, μmáx = 0,00153 h-1, e a constante de Monod, Ks = 165 g.L-1. Após a simulação, verificou-se que a maior conversão de substrato, 95,78%, e o maior rendimento em produto, 74,46%, foram alcançados ao iniciar o processo com 2,4 g.L-1 de células e 90 g.L-1 de substrato. Com isso, conclui-se que o modelo aplicado, possibilitou avaliar as concentrações de substrato e de produto, tornando possível definir quais condições iniciais podem produzir melhores resultados na geração de produto e no consumo de substrato, evitando o desperdício de matéria-prima e maior rendimento, dentro das especificações contidas na norma vigente sobre bebidas.

There is a thin line between patriotism and nationalism, that people don't seem to understand. The key question is at what point patriotism becomes nationalism. Because the line is so thin, that nationalism is often synonymous for patriotism. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your country, but sometimes you get into a situation, where you constantly defend it even when what you have done is clearly wrong, so we can say, that patriotism becomes nationalism when you are proud of your country, no matter what it does.

Authors: Nguyen Thi Ngoc Lan , Nguyen Duc Tuan , Nguyen Anh Thu
Published: June 2023

Healthcare workers are among the most at-risk groups to get infected by SARS-CoV-2 due to the exposure to disease sources in specific working environment. However, after experiencing four waves of epidemics, there was a certain proportion of healthcare workers who have ever been diagnosed to be infected with SARS-CoV-2, regardless of whether they have a history of contact with or an unknown history of contact with an unidentified source of infection. This research aimed to identify the characteristics of healthcare workers who have not diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 or have never been infected by SARS-CoV-2. 79 staffs of Hanoi Medical University were selected at the time of April 2022. 16 out of 79 individuals were infected with SARS-CoV-2 but had not been identified. 50% of this group were physicians working at primary care unit. Subjects who had been infected by SARS-CoV-2 showed greater levels of anti-receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies than those who had never been infected (p=0.001). Anti-RBD antibody levels in 93.67% of research individuals were above the FDA-recommended threshold of 4.8 U/mL for the use of convalescent plasma. In the group that had never been infected by SARS-CoV-2, the antibody levels against RBD-SARS-CoV-2 were lower in those vaccinated above 90 days than those vaccinated below 90 days (p=0.02). 20.25% of research subjects who had never been diagnosed had infected by SARS-CoV-2, with greater levels of anti-RBD-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies than the uninfected group. In the uninfected group, antibody levels gradually decreased over time.

Background: Given the increase in the dengue fever incidence in recent years in Bangladesh, and the absence of specific treatment, it is essential to examine the risk factors that contribute to its severity in Bangladesh. As such a study had never been undertaken, the aim of this research is to determine the percentage of patients with dengue severe form and the risk factors associated with this adverse disease progression. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in 2020 and involved the archival records of 257 patients whose Clinical Record Forms (CRFs) indicated that they had contracted dengue fever (as confirmed by their laboratory findings) during the July−September 2019 dengue outbreak in Dhaka. In accordance with Bangladesh's National Dengue Guidelines, individuals in whom severe plasma leakage, severe bleeding requiring intervention, and/or severe organ involvement was noted, were classified as having had severe dengue form. Results: Severe dengue fever affected approximately 50% of the sample population of this study. Multivariate regression model indicated that its prevalence was greater among females (OR = 2.07, 95% CI = 1.16−3.74), as well as patients with joint pain (OR = 2.31, 95% CI = 1.34−3.99), bleeding history (OR = 2.71, 95% CI = 1.40−5.24), and a platelet count < 10,000/cumm (OR = 4.18, 95% CI = 1.41−12.41). Conclusion: In the analyzed sample, dengue fever typically manifested as body aches, vomiting, and headache, as was more likely to progress to the severe form if a patient was female, had a history of bleeding, and had a platelet count below 10,000/cumm. These findings could help physicians manage severe dengue fever more promptly and effectively.

Pasar online di Indonesia semakin berkembang pesat dan menjadi salah satu destinasi utama bagi pengguna internet dan media sosial. Berbagai macam layanan marketplace telah tersedia dan diakses oleh mayoritas masyarakat Indonesia. Namun, seiring dengan perkembangan tersebut, kepuasan konsumen terhadap layanan marketplace juga beragam, mulai dari yang positif, negatif, hingga netral. Banyak di antara konsumen yang mengekspresikan reaksinya di media sosial, termasuk di Twitter. Dalam penelitian ini, dilakukan analisis opini terhadap post yang dilakukan pelanggan bisnis online di Indonesia di Twitter dari berbagai macam konsumen. Namun, karena jumlah komentar yang sangat banyak, sulit untuk menyimpulkan pendapat pelanggan tentang situs belanja online yang menawarkan layanan terbaik. Bahkan, trending topik di Twitter hanya menampilkan topik hangat yang banyak dibahas tanpa kesimpulan yang jelas. Untuk mengklasifikasikan data opini umum di Twitter dari situs e-commerce, langkah pertama adalah memproses data tweet menggunakan tools Rapidminer untuk mengenali data tweet tersebut. Kemudian, digunakan algoritma decision tree untuk mengelompokkan data opini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dengan menggunakan cross validation, algoritma decision tree mencapai akurasi sebesar 70,27 persen, sementara menggunakan split validation mencapai akurasi 66,95 persen. Dalam hal ini, akurasi yang lebih baik tercapai dengan menggunakan cross validation. Hasil penelitian ini dapat memberikan informasi yang bermanfaat bagi pelaku bisnis online di Indonesia untuk meningkatkan kualitas layanan mereka dan meningkatkan kepuasan pelanggan. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga memberikan gambaran tentang pentingnya memanfaatkan algoritma decision tree dalam mengelompokkan data opini di media sosial, terutama di Twitter, sebagai alat untuk menganalisis sentimen konsumen terhadap suatu layanan atau produk.
SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW: PEMELIHARAAN MESIN DENGAN METODE RELIABILITY CENTERED MAINTENANCE (RCM) DI PERSEROAN TERBATAS
Authors: Ayuni Ruth Priskila , Supriyadi Edi
Published: June 2023

Mesin yang tiba-tiba rusak saat produksi berlangsung atau saat sedang digunakan dapat menghambat bahkan menghentikan kegiatan produksi sampai waktu perbaikan selesai. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan hasil produksi menjadi tidak berkualitas, waktu produksi menjadi panjang, dan biaya produksi bertambah yang dapat berimbas pada harga produk yang menjadi lebih mahal. Perbaikan yang dilakukan sementara kegiatan produksi berhenti akibat terjadinya kerusakan mendadak disebut perbaikan korektif. Kegiatan ini perlu dihindari guna mengurangi kerugian akibat mesin produksi yang tidak beroperasi. Pemeliharaan berbasis keandalan umumnya digunakan untuk merencanakan interval pemeliharaan untuk mesin, peralatan, atau komponen yang sering mengalami kerusakan. Pembuatan interval pemeliharaan dengan mengetahui nilai keandalan juga dapat meningkatkan nilai keandalan mesin, peralatan, atau komponen tersebut. Sehingga, sistem pemeliharaan menjadi lebih efektif dan efisien. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hasil penerapan RCM pada pemeliharaan mesin. Metode penelitian ini adalah Systematic Literature Review yang mengumpulkan serta mengevaluasi suatu penelitian yang terkait pada topik tertentu. Proses data sintesis pada penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara membandingkan 5 literature yang memenuhi kriteria penelitian dengan sumber database yaitu Dimensions dan Google Scholar. Data diolah dan disajikan dalam tabel. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan, pemeliharaan mesin dengan metode RCM terbukti di semua artikel ilmiah yang telah ditelaah dapat menunjukkan nilai keandalan komponen kritis dan dapat menentukan interval pemeliharaan serta dapat meningkatkan nilai keandalan dengan menyimulasikan penerapan jadwal atau interval pemeliharaan tersebut. Metode RCM berperan penting dalam meningkatkan efisiensi dan keandalan mesin di industri manufaktur, menawarkan alternatif untuk pemeliharaan 'run to failure'. Studi kasus telah membuktikan efektivitasnya, meski memerlukan pemahaman mendalam terkait masalah spesifik mesin atau peralatan. Penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya RCM dan menyarankan penggunaan Big Data, IoT, realitas virtual dan augmented reality dalam pemeliharaan. Lebih banyak studi kasus, pemeliharaan berbasis risiko, dan peningkatan pelatihan RCM juga disarankan untuk penelitian dan implementasi mendatang.

Purpose: Exploring appropriate moral education methods that adapt to the We-media age is an important task of literary education. In the context of We-media, literary education should aim at guiding the students to think over moral issues in specific situations on the basis of the aesthetic role of literature in order to promote their moral development. We-media have made communication convenient and efficient, and have created more diversified communication forms.
Conclusion: Therefore, teachers should fully utilize the unique advantages of We-media in literary education to strengthen the communication and exchange between teachers and students and among the students themselves in the face of specific moral issues, and to cultivate the students’ ability to appropriately grasp moral phenomena and apply moral rules.
Teaching Young Children Values in a Multi-religious Secular Society
Authors:   Korea Association for Public Value, Wu Pinhui Sandra
Published: June 2023

Purpose: Singapore is a multi-religious society where the state is secular, and different religions coexist. Values are taught at home and in schools from young. The government has a set of national values that underpin the Character and Citizenship Education which begin from primary education. However, in early childhood education, the national frameworks do not explicitly articulate the values that should be cultivated in children below six years of age up till November 2022, when the revised Nurturing Early Learners Framework is launched and explicate values that should be cultivated at preschool level. Against this diverse sociocultural context, this paper seeks to unpack these values and find out current centre practices on the ground.
Method: This paper uses data of a qualitative study where purposeful sampling is used to select research sites and participants according to the various types of operators in the early childhood education landscape. Semi-structured interviews are conducted for data collection and analysed using thematic analysis. The data presented in this paper offers insights to the perspectives of centre leaders who lead and manage centres run by different operator types in a diverse early childhood education landscape.
Results: The findings reveal that centre leaders’ interpretations of the values are generally aligned with the framework’s descriptors and uncover the complexity of values as overlaps across values. The study provides insights to current centre practices on values education.
Conclusion: The study indicates alignment between leaders’ definitions and understanding of values espoused in the NEL framework and that values education does take place across early childhood development centre types. With the four values explicated for the early childhood education landscape, there is greater clarity on the values that should be cultivated in young children from young.

Authors:   Korea Association for Public Value, Jung Byongsam
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This paper intends to identify the core values of the Republic of Korea Army (ROKA) and the foundation for character education. The ROKA aims to win the ground war as the central force of national defense.
Method: In order to accomplish the research purpose, the researcher critically reviewed the literature related to the Korea Army value and character education including policy reports, army papers, and academic articles.
Results: The ROKA is trying to establish a new military culture and value system to responds to changes from the internal and external environment and to educate the so-called MZ generation soldiers who are majority of the military personnel. Value refers to a resource that satisfies an individual's needs in a subjective sense, and a hierarchy occurs according to an individual's tendency or desire. If these values persist for a long time, they will also have a hierarchy at the social level, too. In addition, an organizational culture is formed in the direction of pursuing the values even in the military organizations.
Conclusion: In this respect, this paper presents the values that the ROKA pursues, the organizational culture formed around these values, and the directions of character education system to imbue the core values.
