Design of a Framework for Integrating Environmentally Sustainable Design Principles and Requirements in Train Modernization Projects
Authors: Haanstra Willem , Martinetti Alberto , Braaksma Jan , van Dongen Leo
Published: July 2020

Environmental sustainability is an increasingly important subject in the railway sector. Literature has revealed that transportation companies target multiple sustainability-related improvement areas and follow different strategies to improve in these. For railway operators, train modernization provides key opportunities for technical, financial, and environmental improvements halfway through the lifecycle. Using design science research, a framework was developed that is aimed at integrating sustainable design principles and sustainability-focused requirements in train modernization. The framework was tested and demonstrated by means of application to the train modernization project of an intercity train at the Nederlandse Spoorwegen in the Netherlands. The results reveal three key design mechanisms for sustainable modernization frameworks. Firstly, sustainability should be considered as early as possible in the design process. Secondly, such frameworks require efforts to simplify the way sustainability principles and impacts are considered, being careful not to oversimplify. Thirdly, the use of sustainability-focused requirements and budgets facilitate the process of prioritizing design decisions in relation to the effects they have on various environmental impacts. The design process of the framework not only provides a better understanding of the challenge of integrating sustainability, it also presents a generalizable approach that can be adapted by other organizations in the transportation sector.
How Much Agroforestry Is Needed to Achieve Multifunctional Landscapes at the Forest Frontier?—Coupling Expert Opinion with Robust Goal Programming
Authors: Reith Esther , Gosling Elizabeth , Knoke Thomas , Paul Carola
Published: July 2020

Agroforestry has been promoted as a key forest landscape restoration (FLR) option to restore ecosystem services in degraded tropical landscapes. We investigated the share and type of agroforestry selected in an optimized landscape, accounting for a mosaic of alternative forest landscape restoration options (reforestation and natural succession) and forest and common agricultural land-uses. We extend previous studies on multi-objective robust optimization and the analytic hierarchy process by a systematic sensitivity analysis to assess the influence of incorporating agroforestry into a landscape. This approach accounts for multiple objectives concurrently, yet data and computational requirements are relatively low. Our results show that experts from different backgrounds perceive agroforestry (i.e., alley cropping and silvopasture) very positively. Inclusion of large shares of agroforestry (41% share of landscape) in the FLR mix enhanced simulated ecosystem service provision. Our results demonstrate that landscapes with high shares of agroforestry may also comprise of high shares of natural forest. However, landscapes dominated by single agroforestry systems showed lower landscape multifunctionality than heterogeneous landscapes. In the ongoing effort to create sustainable landscapes, our approach contributes to an understanding of interrelations between land-covers and uncertain provisions of ecosystem services in circumstances with scarce data.

Published: July 2020

We conducted an empirical analysis to verify the relationship between companies’ ownership structures and earnings management. Our sample included 480 nonfinancial companies listed on Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange and Hanoi Stock Exchange from 2012 to 2017, and our explanatory variables included several ratios, such as the controlling shareholders’ stake, management ownership stake, state-owned stake, and foreign ownership stake, which represent different ownership structures. We examined the effects of these ratios on earnings management. Our results suggested that earnings management has a significant linear relationship with the state-owned and foreign ownership stakes. Our results can enhance the understanding of the role of companies’ sustainable ownership structures in limiting earnings management, and they can contribute to future studies of the relationship between earnings management and corporate social responsibility and sustainability reporting assurance practices that focus on corporate ownership structures.

Published: July 2020

Recently, shockwave food processing is drawing much attention as a low-cost non-thermal food process technique. In shockwave non-thermal food processing, underwater shockwaves are generated by a high voltage generator. Therefore, high inrush currents and high voltage stress on circuit components significantly reduce the reliability and life expectancy of the circuit. However, to the best of our knowledge, stress reduction techniques and their experimental verification have not been studied yet in the shockwave non-thermal food processing system. In this paper, we propose a stress reduction technique for the shockwave non-thermal food processing system and investigate the effectiveness of the proposed technique experimentally. To achieve high reliability and life expectancy, a new high voltage multiplier with an exponential clock pulse generator is proposed for the shockwave non-thermal food processing system. By slowing down the rate at which the capacitors charge in the high voltage multiplier, the exponential clock pulse generator significantly reduces the inrush current. Furthermore, to perform shockwave non-thermal food processing continuously at a lower voltage level, we present a new electrode with a reset mechanism for wire electric discharge (WED), where a square-shaped metal wire swings on a hinge in the proposed electrode. The proposed electrode enables not only shockwave generation at a lower voltage level but also continuous non-thermal food processing, because the square-shaped metal wire is not melted in the WED process. To confirm the validity of the proposed techniques, some experiments are performed regarding the laboratory prototype of the shockwave non-thermal food processing system. In the performed experiments, reduction of inrush currents and effective food processing are confirmed.

Published: July 2020

Background: Yellow fever (YF) virus has the potential to cause fatal outcomes among at-risk individuals visiting endemic areas. Vaccinating travelers who are at risk is necessary to prevent virus-related life-threatening complications. We lack data on the clinical features of persons seeking YF vaccination. We aim to describe the characteristics of a cohort of persons receiving the YF vaccine before travel. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 964 travelers receiving the YF vaccine (Stamaril®) from Oct 2016 to Jul 2019 was performed at the University of Colorado Hospital, U.S. Percentages, means, and standard deviations were calculated. A multivariate logistic regression model was built to evaluate the association between receiving YF vaccination less than 10 days before departure and visiting friends and relatives (VFR). Results: The average age of the subjects was 39 ± 18 years with a range of nine months to 83 years. Persons who were 60 years of age and older represented 17%. Women consisted of 52%, and most of the travelers were Caucasians (64%). Travelers reported traveling to Africa (57%) or South America (40%). The primary destinations for travelers overall were Kenya (19%), Uganda (11%), and Tanzania (11%) in Africa; and Peru (14%) and Brazil (13%) in South America. The most common reasons for travel included leisure (44%), VFR (18%), and mission trips (10%). Comorbidities included a history of hematologic disorders (4%), HIV infection (2%), and diabetes mellitus (3%). The average duration between vaccine administration and travel was 43 days. Those VFR were two times more likely to receive the YF vaccination <10 days before departure. Conclusions: Identifying the type of travel, itinerary, and underlying medical conditions allows providers to administer the YF vaccine to travelers safely. There is a need to identify strategies to improve the timing of YF vaccination among VFR travelers.
Parinaud’s Oculoglandular Syndrome: A Case in an Adult with Flea-Borne Typhus and a Review
Authors: Dixon M. Kevin , Dayton Christopher L. , Anstead Gregory M.
Published: July 2020

Parinaud’s oculoglandular syndrome (POGS) is defined as unilateral granulomatous conjunctivitis and facial lymphadenopathy. The aims of the current study are to describe a case of POGS with uveitis due to flea-borne typhus (FBT) and to present a diagnostic and therapeutic approach to POGS. The patient, a 38-year old man, presented with persistent unilateral eye pain, fever, rash, preauricular and submandibular lymphadenopathy, and laboratory findings of FBT: hyponatremia, elevated transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase levels, thrombocytopenia, and hypoalbuminemia. His condition rapidly improved after starting doxycycline. Soon after hospitalization, he was diagnosed with uveitis, which responded to topical prednisolone. To derive a diagnostic and empiric therapeutic approach to POGS, we reviewed the cases of POGS from its various causes since 1976 to discern epidemiologic clues and determine successful diagnostic techniques and therapies; we found multiple cases due to cat scratch disease (CSD; due to Bartonella henselae) (twelve), tularemia (ten), sporotrichosis (three), Rickettsia conorii (three), R. typhi/felis (two), and herpes simplex virus (two) and single cases due to tuberculosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, Yersinia enterocolitica, Pasteurella multocida, Chlamydia trachomatis, Epstein–Barr virus, and Nocardia brasiliensis. Preauricular lymphadenopathy is a common clinical clue for POGS and is unusual in viral and bacterial conjunctivitis. For POGS, the major etiological consideration is B. henselae, which is usually diagnosed by the indirect immunofluorescence serologic technique. Although CSD POGS is usually self-limited, oral azithromycin may hasten resolution. However, other possible etiologies of POGS may also arise from cat or cat flea contact: sporotrichosis, tularemia, Pasteurella multocida, or FBT. If there is no cat contact, other epidemiologic and clinical findings should be sought, because several of these conditions, such as tularemia, paracoccidioidomycosis, and tuberculosis, may have grave systemic complications. Although there are usually no long-term ocular sequelae if POGS is properly diagnosed, it still may cause prolonged ocular discomfort and require multiple physician contacts.

Hekimlerin ve sağlık çalışanlarının yapmak zorunda kalacağı seçimin, hastalar bakımından ölümle neticelenmesi dahi mümkündür. Bu şekildeki kritik bir kararın verilmesinde göz önüne alınacak kriterlerin etiksel anlamda doğru olmaları gerekir. Keza triyaj kararları ceza hukuku açısından da bazı sorunları beraberinde getirmekte ve bu açıdan da irdelenmeleri gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında adı geçen triyaj kararının etiksel anlamda adilliği, utilitarist ve ödev etiğinin gereklilikleri göz önünde bulundurularak cevaplandırılmaya çalışılmaktadır. Özellikle gençlerin yaşlılara tercih edilmesi gibi genel bir triyaj uygulamasının etiksel anlamda sorunlu taraflarına değinilecek ve tatmin edici bir kriter aranacaktır. Diğer taraftan, yoğun bakım yatakları ile solunum cihazlarının tedaviye ihtiyaç duyan hasta sayısı karşısında yetersiz kalması halinde; hekimin yapacağı seçim sonucu tedavisi ihmal edilen hasta bakımından hekimin eyleminin ceza hukuku anlamında hukuka uygunluğu ve kusurluluğuna değinilecektir.

Boşanmada Ev Hayvanlarının Hukukî Durumu
Authors: DEMİRSATAN Barış
Published: July 2020

Çağımızda insanların evlilikleri süresince ev hayvanlarına sahip olması sıklıkla karşılaşılan bir durumdur. Ev hayvanıyla kurulan yakın manevî bağ nedeniyle boşanmanın ardından ev hayvanının hangi tarafta kalacağı uyuşmazlık konusu olabilir. Bu husustaki uyuşmazlığın sağlıklı bir şekilde çözümüne ev hayvanının yararı da dikkate alınarak ulaşılabilir. Kanun koyucunun günümüzde bu konuda hissedilebilecek gereksinimi öngörmediği ifade edilebilir. Zira ev hayvanlarının boşanma sonrasındaki hukukî durumuna ilişkin olarak mevzuat açık bir düzenleme içermemektedir. Bununla birlikte, ev hayvanının yararını göz ardı etmeyen birtakım çözümler üretmek şu anda da mümkündür. Ev hayvanının eşlerin birlikte mülkiyetinde bulunduğu hâllerde, mal rejiminin tasfiyesi çerçevesinde alım hakkının kullanılmasında gerek ev hayvanının yararı gerekse hakkını kullanmak isteyen eşin ev hayvanıyla olan bağı nazara alınır. Kanun boşluğu bulunduğu gerekçesiyle bu hakkın, ev hayvanının mülkiyetine münhasıran bir eşin sahip olduğu durumlara da uygulanması gerekir. Boşanmanın fer’î sonuçlarına veya mal rejiminin tasfiyesine yönelik anlaşmalarda da taraflar ev hayvanının durumunu düzenlemekte kural olarak serbesttir. Ayrıca, eşler arasında paylı mülkiyetle ev hayvanına sahip olunduğu ve paylı mülkiyet sona erdirilmediği takdirde tarafların hâkime yararlanma rejiminin belirlenmesi için başvurma olanağı da mevcuttur.

O uno e o múltiplo nos discursos barrocos do Padre Antônio Vieira
Authors: Brussio Josenildo Campos , Ferreira Daciléia Lima
Published: July 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre o caráter uno e múltiplo nos discursos do Padre Antônio Vieira no Sermão da Primeira Dominga da Quaresma, proferido no Maranhão no século XVII. Os sermões de Vieira são conhecidos pela retórica barroca, mas acima de tudo, pela riqueza, excentricidade e diversidade de sujeitos que ele consegue representar nas construções de seus discursos. Metodologicamente, analisaremos neste artigo apenas um sermão do Padre Antônio Vieira, escrito no Maranhão do século XVII, dada a extensão da obra do grande orador sacro da língua portuguesa, que escreveu mais de duzentos sermões ao longo de sua vida.
Translinguismos e a visão heteroglóssica de linguagem em práticas comunicativas no Facebook
Authors: Oliveira do Espírito Santo Diogo
Published: July 2020

Neste artigo, serão exploradas as contribuições da perspectiva heteroglóssica bakhtiana atrelada à noção de translinguismo, como alternativas para o estudo de práticas de linguagem em que sujeitos mobilizam variados recursos linguístico-semióticos no Facebook. Para isso, dados gerados de uma pesquisa de doutorado serão discutidos com base nos princípios da abordagem netnográfica e nos pressupostos do paradigma transglóssico. Com essa discussão, espera-se dar atenção à percepção de que as maneiras através das quais o uso de formas linguísticas, seja dentro ou além do que tipicamente chamamos de “línguas”, está relacionado a posições identitárias e ideológicas específicas, demandando, assim, novas perspectivas de estudo sobre a linguagem online que acentuem seu caráter fluido, híbrido e multifacetado.

Published: July 2020

Este artigo problematiza algumas questões referentes ao ensino de literatura na contemporaneidade, principalmente as cisões que são estabelecidas com a não inclusão dos gêneros e textos provenientes da literatura digital nos programas e práticas escolares. Logo, com tais diálogos, objetivamos propiciar reflexões quanto ao processo de aproximação dos professores, educadores e demais atores que exercem a função de mediadores de leituras literárias com a ficção digital. Para tanto, além das discussões teóricas, recorremos a bases documentais e netnográficas para evidenciar as mutações no campo literário na internet, analisando um dos seus recortes: os booktubers como relevante instrumento na suplementação do ensino e leitura literária, ancorados nas teses e estudos de Cândido (2004), Lima (2014), Rangel (2014), Lévy (1999) dentre outros. Desse modo, constatamos [e reiteramos] a necessidade do debate, uma vez que, para os leitores-internautas esses artefatos já lhes são, em grade parte, familiares; contudo, os currículos, planejamentos e práticas, em alguns casos, ainda cismam em rechaçá-los.
Pensando o caminhar como experiência estética e método de ficção literária
Authors: De Santana Wilck Camilo Ferreira
Published: July 2020

Caminhar é uma atividade humana universal. Sua história é perpassada por uma espécie de prazer, liberdade e significados que pessoas diferentes procuram em momentos diversos. Pensando nessa direção, a história do caminhar proposta por Rebecca Solnit (2016) trilha percursos que vão desde a origem do bipedalismo até a caminhada na cidade. Para isso, a autora delineia argumentos que giram em torno do fato de que andar ereto é o primeiro marco do que viria a se tornar a humanidade. Entre os muitos caminhos que esse trajeto envolve, um deles está centrado na atividade de leitura do caminhar para descrever o mundo, fato que certamente contribuiu para que experiências itinerantes servissem como método de ficção. É assim que, ao considerar que há no fato de se deslocar na paisagem algo que estimula e aviva os pensamentos, Solnit evidencia que, no decorrer do tempo em que caminhar deixou de ser apenas uma atividade de descolamento para se tornar uma experiência, foram desenvolvidos métodos ficcionais como o fluxo de consciência e personagens andarilhos como o flâneur. Nessa rede imbricada de ideias e trajetos, acredita-se que as diferentes variações do deslocamento a pé representam ações políticas, estéticas e de grande significado social.
Analysis of engagement metrics vs student attainment using multiple sources across physical and virtual spaces: A case study.
Authors: Wascher Caudia , Gowers Isobel , East Matt
Published: July 2020

Learning analytics, referring to the collection and analysis of data regarding the progress of learners, allows higher education institutions and individual academics to make data driven decisions regarding their teaching approaches and support they are providing. Further, they provide students with an opportunity to take control of their own learning, as they are gaining a better understanding of their own performance and can make informed decisions about their own learning progress. In early 2020 a global pandemic forced higher education institutions worldwide to quickly move teaching online. We argue that under these circumstances, detailed learning analytics provide a unique opportunity to understand student behaviour and support individual learning. We present a case study analysing engagement metrics and their relationship to student attainment in four courses in the area of behavioural biology, over a time period of two years pre-pandemic. Multiple sources of student engagement in the physical (attendance at lectures) and virtual space (access and engagement with online learning resources) were used. Our results show that grades of students were significantly affected by type of assignment, with grades being lower in exams compared to other types of assignment. Grades were not significantly affected by level of studies, gender and country of origin (UK versus non-UK). With regards to engagement metrics, grades significantly increased with percentage of attendance in class, percentage of resources accessed on Canvas and library access. Students accessed lecture notes longer compared to other resources. Physical attendance in class over all courses and levels of studies averaged at 55 %. Online, students accessed on average only 32 % of resources provided in the virtual learning environment. Students accessed the majority of the courses in the same week when materials were discussed in class compared to the weeks before and after. Our results show that both engagement with materials in the virtual learning environment and attendance in class are positively correlated with student achievement. We cannot make any inferences about the causality of this effect and it is likely that better students in general are more engaged. Our project provides detailed in-depth insight into student behaviour and reveals that students overall do not engage with all materials provided, resulting in an incomplete learning experience. We suggest that detailed data on engagement of students with individual resources can be used to better understand and shape individual learning experiences of students.

It has been noticed since the very first steps in research on tick-borne encephalitis that not all the patients were exposed to ticks, even in the territory of their habitat. Moreover, the causative agent of tick-borne encephalitis is known to be isolated from environmental objects, there also has been found a specific immune layer among the population of northern territories that are free from ixodid ticks. According to preliminary data, similar peculiarities are true for newly discovered tick-borne infections (НМЕ, HGA). There is an opinion that the reason for that lies in the possibility of the foci of these infections to exist outside habitats of ixodid ticks owing to their mosquitoes and nidicolous stage in the presence of mole mites and flees.

The application of the method of spatial analysis in the system of evidence of harm to health when
exposed to the waste of past economic activities of the DWMC on the health of the population made it
possible to identify the presence of reliable dependencies both for the adult (p < 0.04) and for the children
(p < 0.02) of the population of Zakamensk , between the prevalence of the primary incidence of the
population in terms of turnover and the remoteness of the population's places of residence to the waste
storage sites. The incidence of the population of Zakamensk, living at a distance of 50 to 500 m from the
storage sites of DWMC waste, was 1.07–2.58 times higher than in the zone remote from the tailing
dams at a distance of more than 500 m, according to the whole list of disease classes. As a result of the
research, it was concluded that the methods of spatial analysis can be used to form the evidence base for
harm to health.

Authors: Evangelista Pricila Fagundes , Rebouças Karine Hojo , Machado Silas Macedo Sales
Published: July 2020

O abacaxi (Ananas comosus L. Merril) é um fruto de significativo valor nutricional, pode ser consumido processado ou in natura e é amplamente cultivado no território nacional, tendo o estado da Bahia especial participação. O alecrim de vaqueiro (Lippia aff. Gracilis), por sua vez, é uma planta tradicionalmente conhecida na caatinga e que apresenta forte ação antimicrobiana contra fungos e bactérias, devido a presença do timol e carvacrol. As geleias de frutas são alimentos ricos em energia, além de alternativas de método de conservação, de mitigação às perdas pós-colheita dos frutos e de agregar valor à produção. Diante disto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo produzir a geleia de abacaxi com alecrim de vaqueiro, caracterizá-la físico-quimicamente e avaliar sua aceitação por meio de análise sensorial. Na formulação das geleias, foram utilizados aproximadamente 1,5 Kg de polpa de abacaxi, 50% (m/m) de açúcar, 1% (m/m) de pectina comercial e testadas diferentes concentrações de alecrim de vaqueiro (0,0%, 0,1%, 0,5% e 1,0%). As formulações apresentaram características físico-químicas conforme exigido pela legislação e em harmonia com a literatura. A análise sensorial indicou boa aceitabilidade do produto, alcançando médias superiores a 7,0 em todos os atributos investigados, sendo a formulação F2 (0,1%) a de maior intenção de compra. Este trabalho demonstra que é possível obter uma geleia de abacaxi com adição de alecrim de vaqueiro, valorizando assim as matérias-primas regionais e fomentando o desenvolvimento socioeconômico local.

The stability of marine fuels is traditionally a very hot topic, especially in the beginning of so-called sulphur cap. The sulphur cap is the process of reducing the maximum level of sulphur content (from 3.5 to 0.5 wt%) in marine fuels, which are being used on deep sea from the first of January 2020. After this change, the large amount of marine fuels will be produced as a mixture of two or more components to achieve required sulphur level. Higher amounts of cutter stocks will increase the likelihood of decreased stability or compatibility of the marine fuels. Therefore, a reliable stability tests or their combination will be very important for marine fuels evaluation. However, only total sediment after aging is defined as a standard method according to ISO 8217 for stability testing. This method is not suitable for all the analysed marine fuels, so we verified using of microscopy for this type of evaluation. The set of marine fuels samples was tested using microscopy, results were processed and correlated with other selected qualitative parameters. The microscopy was evaluated as a suitable method for testing of marine fuels stability. This method could be used for very fast evaluation in industrial as well as research laboratories in combination with standard methods.

Role of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance in the study of the Prostate

Published: July 2020

Magnetic resonance imaging is the fastest and least invasive diagnostic method for the study of the prostate. The method's multiparametricity allows the acquisition of the images highlighting different characteristics in relation to the different sampling sequences.
In particular, the MRI investigation plays a role in:
• risk stratification and staging of the tumor, therefore active surveillance
• detection of prostate cancer;
• localization and characterization of prostate cancer before performing a procedure (pre-biopsy, pre-surgery, or radiation therapy);
• procedural guide (targeted biopsy guide).
The study protocol includes T2-weighted sequences on an axial and sagittal plane, diffusion-weighted sequences for the functional study (DWI) with high b values, contrast dynamic sequences (DCE-MRI), T1-weighted sequences with a large FOV.
The study protocol here presented follows the latest PI-RADS v2.1 guidelines.
The axial scan plans are acquired according to the anatomical axis of the gland. In our protocol we add a further neutral T2 weighing, a sequence that will be subsequently used for the coupling of images with fusion techniques, such as target-biopsy.
The adoption of PI-RAADS v2.1, the most recent update of the system, improves the assessment of intra-patient injury variability and simplifies the general assessment of the prostate in magnetic resonance imaging.
The magnetic resonance examination thus obtained allows the correct overlap of the lesion anatomy with the ultrasound image TRUS acquired with the Fusion technique, used for targeted biopsy sampling.
Optimization of the scanning protocol in musculoskeletal ultrasound

The main limit of the ultrasound resides on the fact that it is a strictly operator-dependent method, and, against the growing discrepancy in the execution methods, the application of a specific protocol for the anatomical area of interest has the function of implementing the achievement of the diagnostic result.
This experimentation aims to optimize the parameters of the ultrasound equipment, remaining placed in a strictly technical context, without trying to emulate in any way the diagnostic ability of the medical professional.
The first step was mainly focused on ultrasound training and in particular on acquiring a good mastership of the technical image parameters.
Subsequently there were performed some scans on five volunteer patients in various anatomical areas according to two different orientations of the ultrasound transducer. The images were acquired at first by the use of the presets already placed on the ultrasound equipment since the installation.
The next step was to create a new ultrasound protocol for musculoskeletal tissue changing the values of the technical parameters of the image by scanning the five patients previously recruited.
The final step concerned the comparison with the medical professional who was required to scan the same five patients in the same anatomical sections and according to the same scan plans previously set.
This experimentation compares the three protocols above mentioned, pursuing the aim to set up an execution protocol for the ultrasound study of musculoskeletal tissue by defining the right setting for the main technical image parameters in order to optimize the performance of the exam, to reduce the time required to complete the survey and to obtain good quality images.

Home imaging diagnostic means: a service to satisfy the needs of all those who, for many reasons, have to do radiographs and ultrasounds at home or in private care istitutions which got no imaging system. Examples: patients with severe diseases(accidents, after surgery outcome), cronich disease or locomotor system disorders (ex. spine disorders), affected by cardiorespiratory diseases or,also, the ones who cannot move.
So,in the next future, we can see the healtcare facility critical importance for this service, it must be programmed.
Now, to activate home diagnotic imaging (hospital or private health care provider), all the criteria is analysed.
On the application of variational theory on networks

The well-known Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) theory is the fundamental pillar for most macroscopic traffic models. In the past, many methods were developed to numerically derive solutions for LWR problems. Examples for such numerical solution schemes are the cell transmission model, the link transmission model, and the variational theory (VT) of traffic flow. So far, the latter framework found applications in the fields of traffic modelling, macroscopic fundamental diagram estimation, multi-modal traffic analyses, and data fusion. However, these studies apply VT only at the link or corridor level. To the best of our knowledge, there is no methodology yet to apply VT at the network level. We address this gap by developing a VT-based framework applicable to networks. Our model allows us to account for source terms (e.g. inflows and outflows at intersections) and the propagation of spillbacks between adjacent corridors consistent with kinematic wave theory. We show that the trajectories extracted from a microscopic simulation fit the predicted traffic states from our model for a simple intersection with both source terms and spillbacks. We also use this simple example to illustrate the accuracy of the proposed model. Additionally, we apply our model to the Sioux Falls network and again compare the results to those from a microscopic simulation. Our results indicate a close fit of traffic states, but with substantially lower computational cost. The developed methodology is useful for network-wide traffic state estimations in real-time, or other applications within a model-based optimization framework.
