Published: November 2024

Big data has revolutionized how businesses operate today, offering unprecedented insights. By harnessing vast amounts of data, companies can optimize performance, enhance decision-making, and drive efficiency. This research examined the relationship between big data analytics capabilities and organizational performance in the context of supply chain visibility based on sample data collected from 400 manufacturing firms operating in Pakistan. The data were gathered from experienced supply chain professionals with the help of a structured questionnaire while Smart PLS 4.0 was employed to evaluate the research model. The research findings indicate that big data analytics capabilities positively affect supply chain visibility and result in improved organizational performance. The study supports the research hypothesis that though big data analytics capabilities may not have a direct impact on organizational performance however, they can both indirectly and positively impact organizational performance when mediated by supply chain visibility. The findings recommend that manufacturing sector organisations should focus on improving supply chain visibility to optimise the benefits of big data analytics capabilities. This research extends the existing literature on big data analytics capabilities from a supply chain perspective, showing how they improve the performance of organisations and hence offer valuable insights to researchers and practitioners.
A relação entre padrões hidroclimáticos, inundações e morbidade por diarreias agudas em Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil
Authors: Castro Marcela Beleza de , Almeida Rayane Brito de
Published: November 2024

Este estudo analisou o ritmo hidroclimático como fator de risco na incidência por diarreias agudas em áreas de inundações urbanas, no período de 2002 a 2015, na cidade de Manaus Amazonas. Também abordou a necessidade de uma coleta e análise de dados mais alinhada aos contextos de transmissões de doenças. Os resultados apontaram que os indivíduos mais acometidos pela doença diarreica em Manaus estão na faixa etária acima dos 10 anos de idade (41%). Além de constatar que, a variável cota do rio Negro apresenta uma relação “perfeita” com a incidência da diarreia aguda, assim como foi determinante na explicação, sendo R²= 100. As demais variáveis hidroclimáticas também apresentaram correlação, mas foram fracas, assim como foram pouco determinantes na explicação. Nesse modo, sugere-se que estudos futuros na linha clima e saúde, aprofundem sua análise sobre impacto das mudanças climáticas na saúde humana, abordando outros determinantes socioambientais da doença. Este estudo também sugere que o monitoramento hidroclimático seja parte integrante nas estratégias de elaboração de políticas públicas na saúde.

Nos últimos anos, estudos sobre chuvas máximas diárias, em diferentes regiões do Brasil, têm recebido crescente atenção, impulsionados pelos desastres naturais decorrentes desses eventos extremos. Esse estudo tem por objetivo identificar os meses do ano mais suscetíveis à ocorrência de altos níveis de chuvas em um único dia no município de Dourados. O conjunto de dados das chuvas diárias foi obtido por meios das estações convencional (01/01/1980 a 31/12/2000) e automática (01/01/2021 a 31/12/2022), correspondendo a um período de 43 anos. Para modelagem das séries históricas foi ajustado a distribuição Gumbel por meio do método da Máxima Verossimilhança, e sua adequação foi avaliada pelo teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov. As médias de chuvas máximas diárias nos meses de novembro e dezembro ultrapassaram 49 mm, com dezembro se destacando como o período de maior variabilidade nessa característica. Para todos os meses analisados, o valor p do teste de adequação foi superior ao nível de 5% de significância, evidenciando a adequação da Gumbel. Para o parâmetro de locação, as maiores estimativas foram obtidas nos meses de janeiro, novembro e dezembro. Em relação ao parâmetro de escala, o mês de dezembro apresentou maior estimativa. Quanto aos níveis de retorno, foram estimadas chuvas diárias superiores a 40 mm para os meses de janeiro, outubro, novembro e dezembro em um período de dois anos. Assim, essas estimativas dos níveis de retorno fornecem informações cruciais para a gestão de riscos e o planejamento urbano e rural.
Eventos meteorológicos extremos de temperatura: a incidência de ondas de calor em Rio Claro - SP, com base em diferentes metodologias analíticas
Authors: Fante Karime Pechutti
Published: November 2024

A eminência e constatação de um aquecimento global tem alertado a sociedade e cientistas sobre a frequência, intensidade e impactos dos eventos meteorológicos extremos. Sobre este assunto o presente artigo teve o intuito de analisar e comparar diferentes metodologias utilizadas para identificação de ondas de calor ocorridas na cidade de Rio Claro, cidade de porte médio, localizada no interior de São Paulo. Para a execução da pesquisa foram utilizados dados diários de temperatura máxima e mínima, entre os anos de 1994 a 2023. Cada metodologia selecionada: WSDI-OMM, IPCC, Silveira (2014) e Diaz et al. (2002) apresenta uma característica específica e abrange dias de permanência e intensidade diferentes das ondas calor. A exemplo, o índice utilizado pela Organização Meteorológica Mundial (WSDI) considera como onda de calor ao menos 6 dias consecutivos com temperatura máxima maior ou igual a 5°C em relação a temperatura média do período de referência, enquanto Diaz et al. (2002), considera ao menos 2 dias com temperaturas máximas e mínimas superiores ao Quantil 90. As ondas de calor foram contabilizadas em períodos sazonais, anuais e decenais. Identificou-se que os períodos de maior frequência às ondas de calor ocorrem nos meses de primavera e verão. Houve um aumento no número de eventos extremos nos últimos anos, notadamente na década de 2014 a 2023, com 48% das ocorrências verificadas pelas técnicas de Silveira e Diaz, 62% dos episódios registrados pelo índice da OMM e 77,8% das ocorrências registradas, nas três décadas analisadas, a partir do índice proposto pelo IPCC.

Authors: Paim Juliana Rodrigues , Anjos Max , Lucena Andrews José de
Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho foca no balanço de carbono e o papel da vegetação nos fluxos de CO2 na cidade. O objetivo é avaliar a variabilidade espaço-temporal da troca líquida de CO2 no ecossistema ou Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) e sua relação com as condições meteorológicas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, no período de 2016 a 2020. O trabalho foi desenvolvido a partir de um modelo empírico-biogênico que estima os fluxos horários de NEE em uma resolução de 300 metros, usando dados de sensoriamento remoto, variáveis meteorológicas e coeficientes derivados empiricamente. Os resultados mostram que a maior absorção de CO2 ocorreu nas áreas com elevada fração de vegetação (80 - 100%) com um máximo de -1.26 gCO2 300m2 hora-1 e mínimo -0.5 gCO2 300m2 hora-1 nas áreas urbanizadas. Os valores totais de NEE variaram diariamente e sazonalmente devido à variação da temperatura do ar e da precipitação acumulada. Durante a noite, a respiração das plantas e solos emitiram CO2 com uma média de 1.8 tCO2 hora-1 e, durante o dia, a fotossíntese capturou CO2, chegando a -6 tCO2 hora-1. Os maiores valores de NEE (-1,8 ktCO2) foram registrados no verão e os mínimos (0,2 ktCO2) no inverno. Os resultados deste estudo contribuem para a formulação de estratégias de mitigação e adaptação às mudanças climáticas na cidade, que levam em conta o papel das áreas verdes no balanço de carbono.

Authors: Contreras Hugo Alberto Monreal , Nanjareddy Kalpana , Arthikala Manojkumar
Published: November 2024

En 2019, los sistemas alimentarios globales generaron 17 mil millones de toneladas métricas de CO₂ equivalente, lo que representa el 31% de todas las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero de origen humano, según la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO). Las prácticas agrícolas por sí solas contribuyen entre un 10 y un 14% de las emisiones totales, principalmente de dióxido de carbono (CO₂), metano (CH₄) y óxidos de nitrógeno (N₂O). La mitigación de las emisiones agrícolas es esencial para abordar el cambio climático. Este documento explora el papel crucial de los cultivos de leguminosas en la reducción de las emisiones agrícolas. A través de la fijación biológica de nitrógeno (FBN), las leguminosas mejoran la captura de carbono, enriquecen la materia orgánica del suelo, reducen la necesidad de fertilizantes sintéticos y apoyan prácticas sostenibles como la agroforestería y los cultivos de cobertura, convirtiéndolas en elementos clave para las estrategias de mitigación del cambio climático.

Published: November 2024

Este artigo explora a detecção de um colo curto, isto é, menor que 25mm, que permite intervenção e consequentemente previne o nascimento de prematuros com menos de 34 semanas. Entre os métodos para prevenção do parto de prematuros está o uso da progesterona e a realização de cerclagem em pacientes com histórico de perda de gestação anteriores. Objetivo: Relatar o caso de uma paciente com gestação inicial gemelar e colo uterino curto e sua respectiva condução. Metodologia: As informações foram obtidas, através de prontuário, entrevista com a paciente, exames de imagem ao longo da abordagem terapêutica e revisão da literatura abordada. Considerações finais: o caso relatado e as publicações levantadas abordam a importância da individualização e avaliação criteriosa acerca da terapêutica de uma situação complexa que é a gestação em pacientes com colo uterino curto. Como uma alternativa à cerclagem, a abordagem medicamentosa, quando bem executada e em pacientes adequados e selecionados corretamente, é capaz de obter resultados satisfatórios, conduzindo a gestação até a uma idade gestacional onde os riscos para a gestante e o feto são reduzidos consideravelmente.

Building a Language Technology Infrastructure for Digital Humanities
Authors: Dannélls Dana , Brodén Daniel
Published: November 2024

Språkbanken Text, a research unit at the University of Gothenburg, forms part of the National Language Bank of Sweden and is the main coordinating node of Swe-Clarin, the Swedish national CLARIN node. During the past years, Språkbanken Text has been actively engaged in a number of humanities and social sciences related research projects. This engagement has primarily concerned the development of new resources, methods and tools to accurately process large amounts of digitized material, in addition to interfaces for visualizing the materials, making them easily accessible for further analysis. The activities within Swe-Clarin have been essential for the progress and the success of this work. In this paper we present what was required from Språkbanken Text in order to meet the expectations of researchers from the humanities and social sciences. We discuss some of the challenges this work involves and describe the opportunities this field brings with it and how these opportunities could help to progress the work of Språkbanken Text toward building a language technology infrastructure that supports interdisciplinary research.
Bringing Together the Digital with Research, Teaching, and Conservation
Authors: Ehrenreich Robert M. , Haley Goldman Michael , E. Klinger Jane
Published: November 2024

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum recognizes the increasing importance and use of Digital Humanities (DH) in Holocaust research, teaching, and conservation. To that end, the Museum instituted the Material Culture and the Holocaust Initiative (MCHI) in 2018 to explore the state-of-the-art approaches in material-culture research that could create new opportunities for Holocaust scholars, teachers, and conservators. MCHI requires large-scale collaboration to bring in a wide range of expertise from across the institution and beyond. MCHI explores the nexus of historical knowledge, technical art history, conservation, and archeological practices within emerging technologies. Specifically, the Initiative is investigating how digital collection and representation of artefacts can aid Holocaust scholars, teachers, and conservators in their work, recognizing that they all have different perspectives and demands in terms of resolution, interactivity, and capability. The three authors represent three different contributions to the cooperation and discuss the goals, objectives, and preliminary results of this collaboration. One of the program’s initial conclusions is to recognize the need to treat data as fully articulated data objects that can be used for computational and scientific analysis, technical history, and advanced instructional tools rather than as just surrogates of the originals. Equally important, is the construction of interoperable systems with equivalent approaches to data at other institutions, so that computer actionable datasets can be easily combined, mined, and used in collaborative projects among geographically distant teams. This effort would not only dramatically increase the research, teaching, and conservation value of these collections but also level the field between large and small institutions for access to the material culture of the Holocaust and eliminate the potentially controversial collection by any one institution of Holocaust-era artefacts, as well as respect national and international cultural heritage laws. MCHI also demonstrates the importance of pandisciplinary cooperation and the need to collaborate to create shared vocabulary and experimentation with new uses for old and new technologies.
The ‘Confronting the Digital’ Debate and an Assertive Digital Edition
Authors: Wareham Andrew , Dellinger Theresa , Sonnberger Jakob , Columbus Aaron , Vogeler Georg
Published: November 2024

This article contributes to the ‘Confronting the Digital’ debate by setting out the case for using the methods of an ‘assertive’ digital edition to enrich historical research and to make archives accessible to a range of users. It illustrates its case with data modelling, data analysis and personal stories arising from the use of digital resources derived from the British hearth tax records (1662–95). Parts 1–2 address the nature of the debate for academia, libraries and archives, and their relationships with commercial organizations. Parts 3–4 explore the work of ScotlandsPlaces and Hearth Tax Digital, setting out the methods of an assertive digital edition in enhancing record access, research and long-term preservation, and assesses the benefits for academic research. Parts 5–6 demonstrate how this work has enhanced life skills and increases peoples’ confidence outside the academic world through research undertaken in schools and colleges and by the University of the Third Age. The article shows that an assertive edition approach brings considerable benefits to the study of pre-modern sources dispersed across archives, thereby enabling historians and other users to conduct qualitative and quantitative research both within and outside academia on communities and ordinary people from the early modern period. This not only enhances research knowledge but also increases confidence among diverse groups.

Published: November 2024

We present a workflow for Digital Humanities projects allowing to combine close and distant reading, as well as automated text annotation, in an iterative process. We rely on mature tools and technologies, like R, WebAnno or Prolog, that are combined in a highly automated pipeline. Such architecture can deal well with underspecified and frequently changing requirements and allow a continuous exchange of information between the computational and domain experts in all stages of the project. The workflow description is illustrated on a concrete example concerning news media analysis.
Transforming Archived Resources with Language Technology

Published: November 2024

Transcriptions in different languages are a ubiquitous data format in linguistics and in many other fields in the humanities. However, the majority of these resources remain both under-used and under-studied. This may be the case even when the materials have been published in print, but is certainly the case for the majority of unpublished transcriptions. Our paper presents a workflow adapted in the research project Language Documentation Meets Language Technology, which combines text recognition, automatic transliteration and forced alignment into a process which allows us to convert earlier transcribed documents to a structure that is comparable with contemporary language documentation corpora. This has complex practical and methodological considerations.

Published: November 2024

Negatif Poisson oranına sahip olan ve özellikle enerji absorbe etme özelliğine ihtiyaç duyulan endüstriyel uygulamalarda kullanım imkanı bulan ökzetik yapıların basma, çekme ya da bükme yüklemeleri altındaki mekanik davranışları literatürde incelenmiştir. Fakat bu yapıların, bir eklemeli imalat prosesi olan lazer toz yatağı füzyon yöntemi ile üretilmeleri neticesinde meydana gelen boyutsal sapmaları üzerinde, ökzetik özelliklerinin ne kadar etki ettiği konusunda herhangi bir çalışma literatürde bulunmamaktadır. Bu boşluğun doldurulmasına katkı sağlamak amacıyla, bu çalışmada beş farklı ökzetik yapı (re-entrant, trichiral, anti-thrichiral, tetrachiral, anti-tetrachiral ve hexachiral) ve bir adet ökzetik olmayan yapının (bal peteği), Inconel 718 malzemeden lazer toz yatağı füzyon yöntemi ile üretimi sırasında meydana gelen, katmanlar arası yüksek sıcaklık farklı ve bunun neticesinde oluşan kalıntı gerilmeler ve boyutsal sapma miktarları, termomekanik simülasyon kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Her bir geometriye ait Poisson oranları da hesaplanmış ve karşılaştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar, ökzetik yapıların lazer toz yatağı füzyon yöntemi ile üretilmeleri sırasında da ökzetik özellik gösterdiklerini göstermiştir. Çalışma sonucunda re-entrant yapının en yüksek, hexachiral yapının ise en düşük ökzetik özellik gösterdiği görülmüştür. Bir düğüm noktasına teğet olan duvarlardan oluşan chiral yapılar arasında, hexachiral yapı en fazla boyutsal sapma göstermiştir. Ökzetik olmayan bal peteği yapısı ise, ökzetik yapılara göre daha fazla boyutsal sapma göstermiştir.

Study’s Excerpt

A safety management model tailored to the oil and gas industry, which offers a structured approach to mitigating workplace hazards is developed.
Questionnaires to assess the hazardous nature of industry operations and evaluate safety performance across multiple firms are used to identify key areas for improvement.
The model could enhance safety practices and reduce injury and fatality rates in this critical sector.

Full Abstract
The increase in the human population raises some fundamental questions about the human ability to protect and take care of its safety.  From the foundation of time, humans have demonstrated skills for sustainability.  In doing this, there is always a high level of concern about the hazardous nature of the environment.  These hazards have hitherto led to severe injuries or death among workers.  One key area of the world economy is the oil and gas of which Nigeria as a nation sustained its yearly budget.  This model, as developed, addresses and proffers solutions to the safety of lives as it affects the oil and gas industry staff with a heavy focus on those directly on the field.  To solve this, this model employed some research measures, such as a questionnaire, to ascertain the gravity of the hazardous nature of the oil and gas industries.  The data obtained were subjected to critical evaluation, as seen in the result table 12, and the result shows an improved performance among the examined oil and gas firms in safety management.  The data received aided the design and implementation of a safety precaution execution and evaluation model strong enough to mitigate hazards associated with the operational states of staff in the oil and gas industries.

Study’s Excerpt

The resting densities, biting rates, and indoor mosquito populations in Nasarawa LGA were assessed.
Prokopack aspirator is applied for morning mosquito collection and the dissecting microscope for identification of species-specific attributes.
The results highlight critical areas for targeted vector control to mitigate malaria transmission in the region.

Full Abstract
Numerous mosquito species are capable of carrying various tropical diseases.  This study ascertained the composition of mosquitoes in Nasarawa Local Government Area, Nasarawa State, Central Nigeria.  Adult mosquitoes were collected between 0600 and 0900 hours in the morning using a battery-operated Prokopack aspirator.  The mosquitoes were then placed in a petri dish with proper labelling and taken to a laboratory for identification and dissection.  Using a dissecting microscope and identification key, mosquitoes were sorted and morphologically classified according to their morphological features.  The mosquito midgut was dissected to check for sporozoites infectivity.  The man-biting rate (MBR) and indoor resting density (IRD) were computed.  A total of 314 adult mosquitoes, spanning four species and belonging to the Anopheline and Culicine mosquito groups, were found to be resting indoors with An. gambiae representing 39.2% of the total composition.  A significant difference in mosquito abundance (χ2= 58.866, df = 3, P=0.001) was observed between the four species that were reported.  There is no discernible variation in the mosquito composition in the research region (χ2= 4.861, df = 2, P = 0.088).  A statistically significant variance in sex was noted (χ2=285.235, df = 2, P = 0.000).  The biting rate was recorded at 2.6 bites per person per night, and an indoor resting density of 5.23 mosquitoes per room per night was recorded.  There was a noteworthy distinction in the abdomen condition of the mosquitoes (χ2 = 45.564, df = 3, p < 0.001).  Mosquito species abundance in October was 200 (63.7%), compared to 114 (36.3) in September.  Nonetheless, a noteworthy distinction was observed in the abundance of mosquito species throughout the research months (χ2= 7.5076, df = 1, P-value = 0.006).  Based on the study's findings that provided insight into the species composition of the mosquito population in the study area, it is recommended to remove possible breeding grounds, promote the use of insecticide-treated nets, and prioritize interrupting vector-human contact as a means of halting the spread of malaria parasites.

Published: November 2024

Study’s Excerpt

New Extension of Topp-Leone Distribution (NETD), derived using a generalized logarithm function, expanding the Topp-Leone family of distributions, is introduced.
Mathematical properties of the NETD, including its quantile function, moments, Renyi entropy, and order statistics were investigated.
The model demonstrates superior goodness-of-fit over existing models across four real-world datasets.

Full Abstract
In this study, we introduce a novel statistical model termed the New Extension of Topp-Leone Distribution (NETD), constructed using a generalized logarithm function.  The derivation of the cumulative density function (CDF) and the probability density function (PDF) for this new distribution is thoroughly detailed.  A validity test was conducted to confirm the legitimacy of the proposed NETD, and the results affirm that it is indeed a valid probability distribution.  We investigate several key mathematical and statistical properties of the NETD, including the quantile function, moments, Renyi entropy, probability-weighted moments, and order statistics.  These properties provide a comprehensive understanding of the distribution's behaviour and characteristics.  To estimate the parameters of the NETD, we applied the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method, which is known for its efficiency and asymptotic properties.  The flexibility, versatility, and performance of the NETD were evaluated using four diverse real-world datasets.  Through the application of model selection criteria such as the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), Corrected Akaike Information Criterion (CAIC), and Hannan-Quinn Information Criterion (HQIC), we demonstrated that the NETD exhibits superior goodness-of-fit compared to existing variants of the Topp-Leone distribution.  Our findings suggest that the NETD is a robust and adaptable distribution, capable of effectively modelling a wide range of empirical data.  This new extension not only broadens the applicability of the Topp-Leone family of distributions but also enhances the toolkit available for statistical analysis and modelling in various fields.

Study’s Excerpt

The rigorous resonant-state expansion (RSE) method is extended to the non-relativistic one-dimensional wave equation.
Resonant states (RSs) wave numbers as the unperturbed basis were employed to confirm the RSE's convergence to exact solutions.
RSE's has potentials for systematically calculating RSs in complex quantum systems with multi-well potentials.

Full Abstract
The resonant-state expansion (RSE), a rigorous perturbation theory recently developed in electrodynamics, is here applied to the non-relativistic wave equation in one-dimension. The resonant states (RSs) wave numbers for the double well system are analytically calculated and used as the unperturbed basis for calculating the RSE. We demonstrate the efficiency of the RSE by verifying its convergence to the exact solution for a triple well potential. We show that for the chosen perturbations (i.e., for and ), the method is particularly suitable for calculating all the RSs within the spectrum.

Langit dan bumi baru menjadi topik pembahasan, pada jemaat masa kini, pemahaman tentang konsep langit dan bumi baru, sepertinya belum dipahami dengan baik, banyak yang berpendapat bahwa hal ini berkaitan dengan Allah akan  menciptakan langit dan bumi yang baru seperti halnya awal penciptaan, beberapa bahkan tidak memahami langit dan bumi baru.
Pada kesempatan ini focus penelitian, yaitu agar jemaat masa kini memiliki pemahaman yang benar tentang langit dan bumi baru berdasarkan Wahyu 21: 1-8, dan jemaat juga dapat memahami keadaan langit dan bumi baru. Untuk itu maka metode yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka eksegesis Wahyu 21: 1-8, dalam studi ini diketahui bahwa langit dan bumi baru yang diramalkan akan terjadi setelah kerajaan milenial dapat dilihat berdasarkan pada perikop sebelumnya. Bagian, langit dan bumi baru yang dilihat Yohanes, adalah penggenapan janji Allah (Yesaya 65:17) bagi manusia dan semua ciptaan. Ini bukan berbicara tentang bentuk fisik dari struktur bumi atau langit, tetapi yang dimaksud adalah kualitas yang dimiliki jauh berbeda dengan langit dan bumi yang pertama, tidak ada lagi dosa, dan ini ditandai dengan keberadaan dari Yerusalem Baru. Dan dalam teks Wahyu 21: 1-8 disampaikan bahwa setiap orang yang hidup di dalam Allah menanggung penderitaan dan tetap setia kepada Allah akan menang dan layak berada di langit dan bumi yang baru, dan hidup dalam kebenaran bersama Allah.
