Residential Use of Photovoltaic Panels and Their Implications on Regional Power Webs
Authors: Guo Zhicheng
Published: February 2024

More and more families are starting to construct a whole solar energy system in their houses with photovoltaic panels and battery components. This research primarily focuses on how residential and affordable photovoltaic panels implanted on houses' roofs can create a better and more sustainable regional power web. This research mainly focuses on the beneficial effects of connecting the residential photovoltaic panels to the regional power web from a family perspective and a regional power web perspective. The aim of this research is to find the answer for how domestic and affordable photovoltaic panels can develop a better sustainable energy cycle among families and electricity companies. Through using the general electricity data in America with some calculations to find how much money photovoltaic panels can save, along with some existing case studies, the result of this research shows that residential photovoltaic panels may not only can bring the economic retributions through selling and inputting the produced and surplus electricity to the regional power web but also bring the increasingly stable and abundant regional power web.

The boredom in the teaching and learning process is very much felt, especially in the new normal era. This is felt by both lecturers and students. So that an effective and interesting learning media is needed in its delivery, of course the lecturers think hard about the right solution so that the material is conveyed and students can understand it. Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the interactive media in learning, its appearance in the form of 3D objects, as well as sound and image improvisation that supports it, is expected to be interesting and fun in learning, especially at Nusantara Islamic University. It is hoped that this method can answer "saturation in learning" because it can attract the focus and attention of students. In order to prepare students to face social, cultural, world of work changes and rapid technological advances, student competencies must be prepared for the needs of the times. Link and match not only with the world of industry and the world of work but also with the rapidly changing future. Higher Education is required to be able to design and implement innovative learning processes so that students can achieve learning outcomes covering aspects of attitude, knowledge, and skills optimally and always relevant. The Freedom to Learn Policy - Merdeka Campus is expected to create a better quality of human resources.
Self-Regulation in Academic Success: Exploring the Impact of Volitional Control Strategies, Time Management Planning, and Procrastination
Authors: Lourenço Abílio Afonso , Paiva Maria Olímpia Almeida
Published: February 2024

Theoretical foundations in recent years emphasize that a significant number of students globally continue to exhibit a lack of commitment and motivation in school activities, leading to diminished proficiency levels in specific areas of study. The magnitude of this phenomenon, coupled with its evident social implications, suggests that we are facing restlessness and a growing demand for urgent answers and results. In the educational context, the sociocognitive perspective conceives the construct of self-regulation for learning as the management and mastery of a set of factors that emerge as crucial elements for high-quality learning and, predictably, academic success. To achieve this successful learning, it is crucial to manage and control variables such as volitional control strategies, planning of academic time management, and procrastination. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate, through the technique of structural equation modelling, that these variables impact students' self-regulation and predict academic performance. A sample of 565 students (Mage=12.97) from the 3rd cycle of basic education (7th, 8th, and 9th grades) participated, responding to a set of validated scales for the Portuguese context. The results indicated that students who employ more volitional control strategies and plan academic time management more effectively demonstrate higher levels of self-regulation for learning. However, those exhibiting higher levels of procrastination in school activities show a lower propensity to self-regulate their learning. Deepening the understanding of the elements that influence the learning process is crucial to promoting the quality of education and the development of autonomous, self-regulated, and competent students. A student who values school tasks, adopts self-regulatory strategies in their learning process, and manages their time dedicated to school activities appropriately and insightfully will undoubtedly be moving towards academic excellence.

Book Review: Kings, Conquerors, Psychopaths: From Alexander to Hitler to the Corporation
Authors: Bakken Tim
Published: February 2024

The book Kings, Conquerors, Psychopaths is a survey of a vast amount of human wrongdoing. It lays bare the motivations of aggressors who wish to subjugate nations or groups of people and corporate executives and government bureaucrats who make discretionary decisions that harm people. Along with cataloging mass killings by despots and soldiers, the book includes stories about Ponzi-schemers and the deaths of automobile drivers and passengers who were killed by vehicle defects known to the manufacturer. The book posits that “[p]owerful, elite forces are trying to force us backward toward a non-democratic state, one where power, wealth, and prerogative are concentrated into fewer and fewer hands.” In its criticism of the judgment of corporate executives and government bureaucrats, the book could be a tract for intellectual populists. While the power of corporations and bureaucracies can be vast and unrelenting, and as dominating as kings, the book might have made clearer distinctions between direct, intentional killers, like the “psychopaths” and conquerors, and the bureaucrats who run corporations and government agencies. The vivid stories in the book are reminders that democracy and civic action are necessary in countering wrongdoers.
Tropical African diatoms from the Eunotia asterionelloides (Bacillariophyta) species complex, with descriptions of new species
Authors: Taylor Jonathan C. , Cocquyt Christine , Walsh Gina
Published: February 2024

Background and aims – Diatoms from tropical Central Africa are rarely studied and documented. Waters of the Congo Basin are often acidic and thus may be dominated by diatoms from the genus Eunotia, usually found in the benthos and periphyton, but rarely in the plankton. We investigated planktonic Eunotia species from the Eunotia asterionelloides complex to determine their identity and distribution.

Material and methods – Samples were collected in fishponds in the vicinity of Kisangani, D.R. Congo, from herbarium material collected from the Bonkele River, D.R. Congo, and in the Kouilou River, Republic of the Congo. These samples were prepared for diatom analysis, examined using standard methods, and documented using both light and scanning electron microscopy.

Key results – Several taxa belonging to the Eunotia asterionelloides complex were observed. Taxa from this complex are recorded in literature as either E. asterionelloides or E. zasuminensis. The taxon from fishponds in the D.R. Congo was identified as E. tukanorum, previously described from Brazil. The structure of the valve outline and raphe appear similar, particularly the raphe position and length. A second species was found on aquatic macrophyte (Utricularia and Nymphaea) herbarium specimens from the D.R. Congo and a third species from the Kouilou River in the Republic of the Congo. These latter two taxa superficially resemble E. zasuminensis. Although similar in valve outline, the taxa differ morphologically. The shape of the apices in larger cells is indented to a larger degree, and the raphe differs in its structure, particularly the shape of the terminal endings. The structure and position of the rimoportula also differ. Also, one of these taxa is sometimes strongly flexed around the apical axis. Based on morphology, we consider these taxa distinct from E. zasuminensis and from each other, and thus describe Eunotia globicephala sp. nov. and Eunotia magnaparva sp. nov.
Crise da segurança alimentar no Brasil: uma análise das políticas públicas de combate à fome (2004-2022)
Authors: Lins Bruno Teixeira , Batista João Vitor Da Silva , Espinoza Fran
Published: February 2024

O presente trabalho objetiva realizar um comparativo entre a evolução dos índices de segurança alimentar no Brasil (2004-2022) e as alterações implementadas nas políticas públicas, derivadas do Programa Fome Zero durante o mesmo período. Estabelece-se como hipótese que o aumento da fome no Brasil decorre do esvaziamento das políticas públicas derivadas do Programa Fome Zero. Para provar este estudo, utiliza-se uma metodologia qualitativa de análise e avaliação do desempenho das políticas públicas, tendo como foco verificar os objetivos que ensejam a criação da política em questão, a maneira como é idealizada a sua implementação, os resultados pretendidos e o impacto social alcançado. Por meio desses dados, a pesquisa determina a (in)existência de uma constância na execução das políticas do Programa Fome Zero e as consequências disso para a garantia da segurança alimentar nacionalmente. O estudo concluiu que o crescimento da insegurança alimentar não decorre, unicamente, do esvaziamento das políticas públicas de combate à fome, uma vez que, mesmo se verificando alterações no exercício das políticas derivadas do Programa Fome Zero durante a primeira década analisada (2004-2013), no período seguinte (2013-2022), é possível notar que o aumento dos índices de insegurança alimentar entre a população brasileira deriva de um conjunto de mudanças sociopolíticas e no campo econômico.

Published: February 2024

This study examines customer-centric vision and sustainable value co-creation in the B2B machine manufacturing industry. It uses a generative approach to explore B2B customer expectations, focusing on co-conception and co-design. Our research aims to integrate customer-centric benefits with sustainability goals through sustainable business models and boundary work theory. In our paper, we examine a growing circular firm in the food processing machinery sector in The Netherlands. Our study is guided by the main research question, "What actions do B2B customers expect for enhanced machinery sustainability?”. We implemented a single case study and a collaborative research framework, integrating business viewpoints to enhance theoret-ical contributions within a qualitative mixed-method approach. Our findings indicate that, reduction and repurposing of water and used water, and machines generating less food waste and processing waste are among the top expectations of the B2B customers. B2B contexts are underrepresented in customer co-creation literature, therefore our paper contributes with empirical findings to this field.

Extreme thoughts about moderate Islam are often the beginning of divisions. A shallow understanding of religious moderation makes it easier for someone to be indicated by radical views. Counselors have an essential role in increasing students' understanding of religious moderation. This study aims to improve students' understanding of religious moderation in public schools through group guidance using bibliotherapy techniques. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a Non-equivalent control group design. The sample of this research was 20 students, consisting of 10 students for each experimental and control group, per Gazda's (1969) recommendations regarding the adequate number of group guidance participants, ranging from 8 to 10 participants. The sample has filled out the Religious Moderation Scale (RMS) developed by Monalisa (2022) and is indicated to be in a low category. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test to determine the effect before and after the intervention was given. Then, to find out the average difference between the experimental group and the control group, it was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. The study's results showed a difference in understanding of religious moderation before and after the intervention, with a significance of .005. The research results showed that the group guidance intervention using bibliotherapy techniques was effective in increasing students' understanding of religious moderation with a Z score of -3.885 and a significance value of .000.

Authors: Maome Itumeleng , Zondo Robert
Published: February 2024

Corporate Social responsibilities (CSR) is an established idea that urges corporations to incorporate environmental and social responsibilities into their operations. It enables businesses to be socially responsible to stakeholders and the public. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have received international recognition for their contributions to social and economic development. This study investigates the impact of CSR on financial performance at a medium-sized clothing manufacturing company in the eThekwini District Municipality of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. The study was designed to be conclusive. It employs a quantitative approach, examining the experiences of an organization that has implemented CSR. The study's objective was met by gathering pre- and post-quarterly data on profitability and production costs. The data was analysed using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings show that CSR can boost financial performance by minimising business-related risks and compliance expenses, which leads to increased profitability and lower production costs. Any rise in profitability boosts the organization's financial performance, while any drop in production costs improves the company's financial performance. This study identifies the strengths and weaknesses of CSR in relation to financial performance in the selected medium-sized manufacturing business in South Africa.

The introduction and use of the Teacher Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD) tool in Kenya aimed at enhancing educational outcomes. One of the important objectives was enhancing learner discipline in order to create a conducive teaching and learning environment in schools. This research sought to establish the effectiveness of TPAD implementation in enhancing learner discipline within secondary schools in Gucha sub-county. The study grounded its theoretical framework on Locke’s goal-setting model. 1 director, 21 principals, 115 heads of departments (HODs), 254 teachers, and 194 class secretaries were targeted using a descriptive survey design. Saturated and stratified random sampling designs were also used. Data collection instruments included questionnaires and interview schedules. A test-retest analysis was used to determine their reliability. SPSS version 22.0 was used to conduct quantitative data analysis. To assess the significance of these methods, Pearson’s correlation, regression tests, and one-way ANOVA were used. The regression model showed that a unit change in the implementation of TPAD tools could improve learner discipline by a factor of 0.510, indicating a positive correlation of 0.421. The results showed a significant effect of TPAD implementation on learner discipline, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). This led to the rejection of the null hypothesis. TPAD tools were seen to have partially improved learner discipline in secondary schools in Gucha sub-county.

Published: February 2024

Learners’ supportive environments have a significant effect on what goes on in the classroom. Supportive learning environments have the greatest impact on learners’ literacy outcomes. Factors such as language policy and interactions in the classroom have a big influence on the learners’ literacy outcomes. The present study investigated a group of grade three learners’ literacy outcomes in lower primary schools in Bungoma central sub-county in relation to the factors that influenced the learning environments of the classroom. The descriptive survey design was used to sample participants in the study. A sample size of 91 participants was involved, consisting of 48 grade three learners, 24 grade three teachers, 12 head teachers, 6 parents, and a sub-county education officer. Simple random sampling was used to sample out grade three teachers, parents, head teachers, and a sub-county education officer. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Unstructured questionnaires were used to investigate the physical design of the classroom and their influence on literacy outcomes among learners in early years of learning in Bungoma Central Sub-County. Findings of the study indicate a negative correlation between learners’ literacy outcome and the physical design of the classroom (class size) (r = 261, p<0.5). Based on this finding, it is recommended that grade three teachers individualize teaching based on assessment results, embrace whole-class curriculum materials, and recognize individual differences. Policies must be established to guarantee that classrooms are conducive to learning and motivate learners to strive for higher academic accomplishment.

Published: February 2024

Abstract. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of melatonin (MT) on the expression patterns of lncRNA, mRNA and miRNA in Liaoning cashmere goat (LCG) skin fibroblasts. A quantity of 200 ng L−1 MT (MT group) stimulated LCG skin fibroblasts for 48 h, and RNA sequencing was conducted with the control group (Con group) (n=3). The ceRNA network was constructed by bioinformatics analysis of the sequencing data and transmission electron microscopy observation of coated pits and endocytic vesicles. In this study, the results indicated that MT treatment significantly facilitated the proliferation of LCG skin fibroblasts and increased the number of coated pits and vesicles. A total of 775 mRNAs, 57 lncRNAs and 10 miRNAs had differential expression, as indicated by RNA sequencing of skin fibroblasts administrated on the MT group and Con group. The regulatory network of ceRNA was studied, and the results suggested that inositol phosphate metabolism, the cGMP–PKG signaling pathway, endocytosis and other pathways played a certain role in the growth and development of the LCG cashmere. Moreover, the key genes (e.g., CREB1, PIK3C3, AGAP3, MEF2A, ASAP2, IRAG1, PNISR, PIP5K1A, SRSF11, ZRANB2, RBM39 and CBL) were regulated by chi-miR-34c-5p, chi-miR-34c-3p and chi-miR-195-5p. The above mRNAs were competitively bound by 15 lncRNAs (e.g., MSTRG.28630.12, MSTRG.28660.14, MSTRG.28099.7). And through dual luciferase and other experiments, it was further confirmed that PIP5K1A is the target gene of miR-34c-5p. This finding provides new insights into the molecular mechanism by which melatonin promotes villi growth in cashmere.
Quantifying SO2 oxidation pathways to atmospheric sulfate using stable sulfur and oxygen isotopes: laboratory simulation and field observation

Published: February 2024

Abstract. The formation of secondary sulfate in the atmosphere remains controversial, and it is an urgent need to seek a new method to quantify different sulfate formation pathways. Thus, SO2 and PM2.5 samples were collected from 4 to 22 December 2019 in the Nanjing region. Sulfur and oxygen isotopic compositions were synchronously measured to study the contribution of SO2 homogeneous and heterogeneous oxidation to sulfate. Meanwhile, the correlation of δ18O values between H2O and sulfate from SO2 oxidation by H2O2 and Fe3+ / O2 was simulatively investigated in the laboratory. Based on isotope mass equilibrium equations, the ratios of different SO2 oxidation pathways were quantified. The results showed that secondary sulfate constituted higher than 80 % of total sulfate in PM2.5 during the sampling period. Laboratory simulation experiments indicated that the δ18O value of sulfate was linearly dependent on the δ18O value of water, and the slopes of linear curves for SO2 oxidation by H2O2 and Fe3+ / O2 were 0.43 and 0.65, respectively. The secondary sulfate in PM2.5 was mainly ascribed to SO2 homogeneous oxidation by OH radicals and heterogeneous oxidation by H2O2 and Fe3+ / O2. SO2 heterogeneous oxidation was generally dominant during sulfate formation, and SO2 oxidation by H2O2 predominated in SO2 heterogeneous oxidation reactions, with an average ratio around 54.6 %. This study provided an insight into precisely evaluating sulfate formation by combining stable sulfur and oxygen isotopes.
Modeling Mediterranean ocean biogeochemistry of the Last Glacial Maximum

Abstract. We present results of simulations with a physical-biogeochemical ocean model of the Mediterranean Sea for the last glacial maximum (LGM) and analyse the difference in physical and biochemical states between the present day and the past. Long-term simulations with an Earth system model based on ice sheet reconstructions provide the necessary atmospheric forcing data, oceanic boundary conditions at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, and river discharge to the entire basin. Our regional model accounts for changes in bathymetry due to ice-sheet volume changes, reduction in atmospheric carbon content, and an adjusted aeolian dust and iron deposition. The physical ocean state of the Mediterranean during the LGM shows a reduced baroclinic water exchange at the Strait of Gibraltar, a more sluggish zonal overturning circulation, and the relocation of intermediate and deep water formation areas – all in line with estimates from paleo sediment records or previous modelling efforts. Most striking features of the biogeochemical realm are a reduction of net primary production, an accumulation of nutrients below the euphotic zone, and an increase of organic matter deposition at the sea ﬂoor. This seeming contradiction of increased organic matter deposition and decreased net primary production challenges our view of possible changes in surface biological processes during the LGM. We attribute the origin of a reduced net primary production to the interplay of increased stability of the upper water column, changed zonal water transport at intermediate depths, and colder water temperatures, which slow down all biological processes during the LGM. The cold water temperatures also affect the remineralisation rates of organic material which explains the simulated increase of organic matter deposition, in good agreement with sediment proxy records. In addition, we discuss changes of an artiﬁcial tracer which captures the surface ocean temperature signal during organic matter production. A shifted seasonality of biological production in the LGM leads to a difference in the recording of the climate signal by this artiﬁcial tracer of up to 1 K. This could be of relevance for the interpretation of proxy records like e.g. alkenones. Our study does not only provide the ﬁrst consistent insights into the biogeochemistry of the glacial Mediterranean Sea, it will also serve as the starting point for long-term simulations over the entire last deglaciation.

Abstract. Spaceborne digital elevation models (DEMs) of glaciers are essential to describe their health, and their contribution to river runoff and to sea level rise. Publicly available DEMs derived from submeter satellite stereo-imagery were, up to now, mainly available in the polar regions and High Mountain Asia. Here, we present the Pléiades Glacier Observatory (PGO), a scientific programme acquiring Pléiades stereo pairs for 140 sites from Earth’s glacierized areas. The PGO product consists of DEMs at 2 m and 20 m ground sampling distance together with 0.5 m (panchromatic) and 2 m (multispectral) ortho-images. The DEMs are freely available to all registered users whereas ortho-images are available after signing a licence. PGO commenced in July 2016 in the North Hemisphere and February 2017 in the South Hemisphere. Each site is revisited every five years (cloud permitting), close to the end of the melt season, to measure glacier elevation change with an average uncertainty of 0.49 m (95 % confidence level, for a glacierized area of 1 km2), i.e. 0.1 m a-1. PGO samples over 20,000 km2 of glacierized terrain which represents about 3 % of the Earth’s glaciers area. This small sample, however, provides a first order estimate of the global glacier mass change and its decadal evolution.

Abstract. In this case study, measured solar irradiances above and below Arctic cirrus are compared to simulations of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts’ Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) making use of offline runs of the operational ecRad radiation scheme. Independent of the solar irradiances, cirrus properties are derived from active remote sensing and used to evaluate the optical and microphysical parameterizations in ecRad. The data set was collected in the central Arctic over sea ice (81°–90° North) with the High Altitude LOng range research aircraft (HALO) during a campaign in March and April 2022. HALO was equipped with broadband radiation and remote sensing instrumentation, including upward and downward-looking pyranometers (solar irradiance), a cloud radar, and a multi-wavelength water vapor differential absorption lidar. Flight legs above and below single-layer cirrus were performed. Measurements of solar irradiance are used to evaluate the ecRad radiation scheme in two case studies of optically thin and thick cirrus. The optically thin cirrus had a mean transmissivity of 0.9, while the optically thick cirrus had a transmissivity of about 0.6. Different ice optics parameterizations optionally available within ecRad are tested to improve the match between simulation and measurements. Furthermore, the IFS predicted ice water content and ice effective radius were replaced by values retrieved with the radar and lidar. The choice of ice optics parameterizations does not significantly improve the model-measurement agreement. However, introducing the retrieved ice microphysical properties brings measured and modelled irradiances into closer agreement for the optical thin cirrus, while the optically thick cirrus case is now simulated as too thick. From the comparison of the different ice optics parametrizations in the original and in the forced setup, it can be concluded that the ice water content forcasted by the IFS is realistic. The missmatch between observed and simulated irradiances mostly originates from the assumed or parameterized ice effective radius.
Insights into the prediction uncertainty of machine-learning-based digital soil mapping through a local attribution approach
Authors: Rohmer Jeremy , Belbeze Stephane , Guyonnet Dominique
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Machine learning (ML) models have become key ingredients for digital soil mapping. To improve the interpretability of their prediction, diagnostic tools have been developed like the widely used local attribution approach known as ‘SHAP’ (SHapley Additive exPlanation). However, the analysis of the prediction is only one part of the problem and there is an interest in getting deeper insights into the drivers of the prediction uncertainty as well, i.e. to explain why the ML model is confident, given the set of chosen covariates’ values (in addition to why the ML model delivered some particular results). We show in this study how to apply SHAP to the local prediction uncertainty estimates for a case of urban soil pollution, namely the presence of petroleum hydrocarbon in soil at Toulouse (France), which poses a health risk via vapour intrusion into buildings, direct soil ingestion or groundwater contamination. To alleviate the computational burden posed by the multiple covariates (typically >10) and by the large number of grid points on the map (typically over several 10,000s), we propose to rely on an approach that combines screening analysis (to filter out non-influential covariates) and grouping of dependent covariates by means of generic kernel-based dependence measures. Our results show evidence that the drivers of the prediction best estimate are not necessarily the ones that drive the confidence in these predictions, hence justifying that decisions regarding data collection and covariates’ characterisation as well as communication of the results should be made accordingly.
The geometry of sea-level change across a mid-Pliocene glacial cycle

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Predictions for future sea-level change and ice sheet stability rely on accurate reconstructions of sea level during past warm intervals, such as the mid-Pliocene Warm Period (MPWP; 3.264 – 3.025 Ma). The magnitude of MPWP glacial cycles, and the relative contribution of meltwater sources, remains uncertain. We explore this issue by modeling glacial isostatic adjustment processes for a wide range of possible MPWP ice sheet melt zones, including North America, Greenland, Eurasia, West Antarctica, and the Wilkes Basin, Aurora Basin, and Prydz Bay Embayment in East Antarctica. As a case study, we use a series of ice histories together with a suite of viscoelastic Earth models to predict global changes in sea level from the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) M2 glacial to the MIS KM3 interglacial. Our results indicate that, of the locations with stratigraphic constraints on Pliocene glacial–interglacial sea level amplitude, local sea-level (LSL) rise at Whanganui Basin, New Zealand, will be lower than the associated global mean sea level (GMSL) contribution from individual ice sheets by an average of ~20 %. In contrast, LSL rise at Enewetak Atoll is systematically larger than GMSL by 10 %. While no single observation (field site) can provide a unique constraint on the sources of ice melt during this period, combinations of observations have the potential to yield a stronger constraint on GMSL and to narrow the list of possible sources.
