Acceptance of wind energy – Theoretical concepts, empirical drivers and some open questions
Authors: Ruddat Michael
Published: January 2022

Abstract. The further development of wind energy is of major importance for the success of the energy system transformation in Germany and elsewhere. This transition process is not an easy task. For example, the yearly installed capacity of wind energy onshore in Germany is declining since 2017. Only relatively few new wind turbines were constructed especially in 2019. Problems are for example minimum distance requirements (e. g. residential areas, air safety), the high complexity of planning processes and local protests. Social science research has now dealt with the topic of wind energy acceptance for quite some time. On the one hand, the specific kind of acceptance (e.g. local acceptance) has been subject to scientific discourse. On the other hand, different empirical drivers (e. g. perceived distributional or procedural fairness, trust in relevant actors of the transformation process, risk/benefit perceptions, participation) have been of special interest. This review deals with central theoretical concepts as well as qualitative and quantitative empirical findings of social science research concerning the acceptance of wind energy in Germany and elsewhere. Although there has been already a lot of valuable scientific work done, there are still some open questions left.
Experimental analysis of the effect of dynamic induction control on a wind turbine wake

Published: January 2022

Abstract. Dynamic induction control (DIC) has proven to be an effective method of increasing the power output for a wind farm in both simulation studies and wind tunnel experiments. By pitching the blades of a wind turbine periodically, the recovery of the low velocity wake is accelerated, thereby increasing the energy available to downstream turbines. The wake itself of a turbine operating with DIC has not yet been studied experimentally. This paper presents a wind tunnel experiment where the wake of a wind turbine under periodic excitation is investigated. Using three-dimensional particle image velocimetry, the velocity field behind the turbine was reconstructed. Analysis of the velocity fields indicated that the available power in the wake increases when using DIC. This increase was partially due to a lower average thrust force experienced by the turbine with DIC. However, a large difference was seen between measurement results and actuator disk theory, indicating enhanced recovery of the wake is contributing to the increased energy. Instantaneous measurements visualizing the development of blade tip vortices also showed how the location of vortex breakdown, which is directly related to re-energizing the wake, shifts over time with DIC. We believe this shifting location is contributing to the enhanced wake recovery of DIC, providing more energy to downstream wind turbines.

Authors: Trillo Domínguez Magdalena , Gallego Márquez Celia
Published: January 2022

Con la misma fuerza con que los buscadores compiten con los medios como intermediarios en el acceso a la información, la cultura SEO empieza a penetrar en las redacciones poniendo de manifiesto que ya no es suficiente con incorporar expertos en optimización de contenidos (ni siquiera la creación de un departamento especializado). El impacto de los algoritmos está transformando el perfil del periodista digital, obligándole a aprender habilidades de producción, edición y publicación SEO, y modificando la propia agenda setting de los medios incorporando las tendencias y temas de interés de las audiencias. En este trabajo se realiza acercamiento a las técnicas de posicionamiento en buscadores con el objetivo de explorar, desde la praxis del ejercicio del oficio en el corazón de las redacciones, las oportunidades que supone este perfil emergente tanto a nivel profesional como académico para estudiantes de Ciencias de la Información y la Comunicación. Se realiza en un sentido constructivo, la viabilidad misma de las empresas periodísticas depende en buena medida de la pata de tráfico que llega del SEO, pero también crítico alertando de las consecuencias que estas pautas de trabajo pueden suponer en el ejercicio del periodismo. Justo en un momento de desinformación y saturación como el actual, el papel de intermediarios de los medios se presenta más necesario que nunca y, paradójicamente, también está más competido que nunca por los algoritmos.

ALISHER NAVOI’S WORKS IN THE RESEARCH OF WESTERN SCIENTISTS
Authors:   National University of Uzbekistan, Khudoyberdieva Nigora Sherali qizi
Published: January 2022

Introduction. The fact that Navoi in his works promotes creative ideas that affect all mankind, the fact that the poet's ideas are more important and relevant than ever in today's era of globalization, has led to major research around the world. Know this, all humankind: The greatest curse is enmity; The greatest blessing, amity. We all know the verses by heart. That is, in order for the poet to have peace and tranquility among the people, they must renounce the path of enmity, enmity is not a deed, instead they must be friends with one another. True friendship is a real business. These verses, written before the 6th century, are a vivid proof that Alisher Navoi's poetry and philosophy have stood the test of time and apply equally to the peoples of the world. Research methods. Alisher Navoi's creative heritage has been in the hearts of many readers in different languages for centuries. As a result of many years of research and work of literary critics, poets and writers, the great poet's work is widely promoted around the world, a number of achievements have been achieved. However, we cannot ignore the mistakes and shortcomings in this regard. Results and discussions. The main problem here is that most of the specialists who know Navoi's language and creativity do not know European languages, those who know foreign languages do not know the old Uzbek language or do not feel our classical literature. Therefore, in the study of Navoi's work by foreign scholars, the importance of the poet's work for foreign literature, a serious approach to the issue of foreign translators and researchers of A. Navoi's work, we would like to draw attention to some comments on the subject. Conclusion. A. Navoi's work has a special significance in Uzbek literature, as well as in world literature. The poet’s work has been studied by various scholars for centuries. However, scientific views on A. Navoi were not always correct. In this regard, in this research work, the different opinions of world scholars about the poet, their positive and negative views on the work of the poet are cited and analyzed. The role of Russian, Ukrainian, French, English, German and American scholars in the study of Navoi's works around the world, the factors that stimulated their interest in Oriental literature, in particular, Alisher Navoi's works, works by foreign authors and works inspired by A. Navoi's work along with samples, some information about the manuscripts and lithographs of the great thinker kept in the fund of foreign libraries is the main content of the article.

Abstrak

Sistem penilaian kinerja karyawan  dan promosi jabatan merupakan hal penting dalam sebuah perusahaan,  dan dalam  mengetahui perkembangan kinerja karyawan perusahaan. Penilaian kinerja karyawan yang dilakukan secara manual menjadi permasalahan tersendiri bagi sebuah perusahaan. Hal ini juga dialami pada PT. Esensi Indonesia, dimana penilaian kinerja karyawan masih menggunakan cara manual. Penilaian dilakukan oleh team leader untuk mengetahui karyawan yang berpotensi bagus untuk dipromosikan kejenjang karier berikutnya, dan kemudian hasil penilaian diserahkan kepada superivor dan berlanjut ke manager dan terakhir ke HRD dalam bentuk yang masih kertas.Hal ini yang menyebabkan data dan penilaian menjadi lebih merepotkan karena harus ditulis dan dihitung secara manual dan memperlukan waktu yang panjang.. Proses penilaian kinerja karyawan dan promosi jabtan pada PT. Esensi Indonesia dilakukan setiap setahun sekali dan berdasarkan beberapa kriteria yang akan dinilai belum menggunakan metode yang khusus sehinggamasih terdapat kesalahandalam perhitungan.

            Penelitian ini dilakukan bertujuan untuk menerapkan metde gauging absence of prerequistes (GAP)  dalam proses penilaian kinerja karyawan dan promosi jabatan pada PT. Esensi Indonesia. Dengan metode GAP ini dapat membantu menilai seberapa besarnya jarak antara kinerja aktual dengan standar nilai kinerja yang diharapkan dan untuk mengetahui kebutuhan peningkatan kinerja yang diperlukan.

Purpose: Ankle fractures are one of the most common injuries of the musculoskeletal system. They account for approximately 10% of all fractures, and many studies show that their incidence is increasing. The aim of the report is to monitor the functional recovery of patients with surgically treated ankle fractures using AOFAS. Methods: We conducted clinical work with patients in the period 2019 - 2021. The study included 34 patients with ankle fractures treated surgically. The average age is 37.8 years. The monitored period of functional recovery for each patient was 2 months. Results: To establish the functional condition and to objectify the treatment results, we applied the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS). The test consists of 9 questions divided into 3 categories: pain (40 points), function (50 points) and alignment (10 points). Results are reported as standard deviations with 95% confidence intervals. We conducted the study, reporting the category "Pain" at rest and while moving. The initial data from AOFAS are 32.04(at rest) / 23.51 (when moving) points, which means a very limited function of the ankle joint. At the end of the follow-up period, the results were respectively 84.02 /77.84 points, which shows a significant improvement in the functional capabilities of patients. Conclusions: Based on the results obtained from the applied methodology for physiotherapy recovery, it can be said that the developed physiotherapy program of special exercises combined with manual mobilization techniques has a beneficial effect in restoring the arthrokinematics of the ankle-foot complex.

Bronchogenic cyst is considered to be a benign morphological abnormality in the development of the primitive foregut, which usually occurs in the thorax, particularly in the mediastinum. Subdiaphragmatic and retroperitoneal locations in particular are unusual. It is usually asymptomatic. Clinical presentations are related to complicated forms (infection, haemorrhage and extrinsic compression). Imaging rarely contributes to the diagnosis. Only histopathological examination allows a definitive diagnosis of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst. Surgical resection is the therapeutic strategy of choice. We report a peculiar presentation of a symptomatic retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst that can be confused with adrenal masses. Keywords: bronchogenic cyst; retroperitoneum; adrenal gland; surgical resection.

Haemosuccus pancreatitis also known as Pseudohaemobilia or haemoductal pancreatitis, is defined as upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage originating from the pancreatic duct into the duodenum via the Ampulla of Vater, or major pancreatic papilla. A triad of epigastric pain, intermittent gastro intestinal bleeding and hyperamylasemia [1,2]. We present three cases of chronic pancreatitis presenting as upper GI bleed and with epigastric pain and sudden drop in Hematocrit. One had bleed from pseudo aneurysm arising from hepatic artery leaking into pseudo cyst, second had erosion of wall of splenic vein leaking into pancreatic duct through small pseudocyst and the third patient was post cystojejunostomy with who bled into cyst, probably from a vessel in wall of cyst, well demonstrated on venous phase of CT angiography and later responded to conservative management. Hemorrhage from the pancreatic duct, i.e. Haemosuccus Pancreaticus (HP), is a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. Pancreatic Homosuccus is usually due to the rupture of an aneurysm of a visceral artery, most likely the splenic artery, in chronic pancreatitis. Other causes of HP are rare. Keywords: haemosuccus pancreaticus; pseudo aneurysm; pancreatitic pseudocyst; upper gastrointestinal bleeding; embolization.

辛普森悖論解決之道：以新英格蘭醫學雜誌之羅格列酮統合分析為例
Authors: 蔡崇煌 蔡崇煌 , Chung-Huang Tsai 林正介 , Cheng-Chieh Lin 林彥廷
Published: January 2022

目的：在做研究之統計分析時，有時數值不宜直接相加再重新計算總比值，否則可能陷入辛普森悖論(Simpson’s paradox)的情境，導致完全相反的結果，過去鮮少有探討其如何解決的方法，我們發現可用統合分析(meta-analysis)方法快速計算。

方法：關鍵詞為“Simpson’s paradox”或“Simpson paradox”，搜尋2020年10月前之PubMed medline、Cochrane、Web of Science及中文電子期刊C.E.P.S.等資料庫，並找一篇國際學術期刊文獻為例做比較分析及說明。

結果：共找到69篇文獻，其中一篇是討論羅格列酮(Rosiglitazone)統合分析做辛普森悖論的說明，其是以Nissen於新英格蘭醫學雜誌發表文章為例做分析，其中有36個小型研究合併成一個數值，因為心血管事件很少，使用Peto方法計算勝算比(odds ratio, OR)和95%信賴區間(CI)，結果OR (95% CI)為1.45 (0.88-2.39)，再加上另2個較大型研究DREAM (OR 1.65, 0.74-3.68)及ADOPT (OR 1.33, 0.80-2.21)，最後統合分析結果為1.43 (1.03-1.98)，表示Rosiglitazone會增加43%心肌梗塞風險。若分別將全部個案數合併後重算，會導致相反結果，其OR 0.97 (0.71-1.32)，表示Rosiglitazone能降低3%心肌梗塞風險，雖未達統計學上顯著的差異，亦顯示了辛普森悖論現象。

結論：不宜直接相加各不同研究的個案再重算總比值，否則可能導致辛普森悖論現象的相反結論，此時可用統合分析軟體解決。

 

Objectives: The cases’ numbers in statistical analysis sometimes should not be aggregated directly to recalculate the overall ratio as this, according to Simpson’s paradox, can lead to reversed results. How to solve the paradox has remained an understudied issue, yet it has come to our attention that meta-analysis method seems to be a potential solution.

Methods: To identify an international journal article as an example for analysis, the study used the keywords “Simpson’s paradox” and “Simpson paradox” to search for journal papers published prior to October 2020 in the following databases: PubMed Medline, Cochrane, Web of Science and C.E.P.S.

Results: A total of 69 articles were found, and one discussed the Simpson’s paradox with analysis of Rosiglitazone trials. The study by Nissen, published in the New England Journal of Medicine had 36 small trials aggregated into one value. There were few cardiovascular events, so the Peto method was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval. The result was 1.45 (0.88-2.39). Together with the results of two other larger studies DREAM (OR 1.65, 0.74-3.68) and ADOPT (1.33, 0.80-2.21), the final meta-analysis result emerged to be 1.43 (1.03-1.98), indicating that Rosiglitazone increased the risk of myocardial infarction by 43%. If all cases are combined and recalculated, an opposite result, OR 0.97 (0.71-1.32), indicated that Rosiglitazone reduced the myocardial infarction risk by 3%.

Conclusion: It is not recommended to directly aggregate the cases’ numbers of different studies and then recalculate the overall ratio since it may lead to the phenomenon of Simpson’s paradox. Meanwhile, meta-analysis software can be used to solve the problem.

 
子宮平滑肌惡性肉瘤案例報告

本文報告一位41歲女性，因持續兩週的下腹悶痛及腫塊求診，術後確診為子宮平滑肌惡性肉瘤，她在兩年半前曾接受腹腔鏡子宮肌瘤切除術，診斷為非典型子宮肌瘤。子宮平滑肌惡性肉瘤的發生率極低，目前超音波及電腦斷層尚無法和子宮肌瘤明確區分，而核磁共振是一個相當敏感的工具，因此若腫瘤超過8 cm或生長快速，宜進一步以核磁共振或以組織切片或直接手術探查。此外，非典型子宮肌瘤，雖多數為良性，但有進展為惡性肉瘤的可能，建議在術後至少5年內，每半年接受骨盆腔理學檢查，每年胸部X光攝影及骨盆腔影像學檢查，以早期發現復發或惡性的腫瘤。

 

We herein reported a 41-year-old woman presenting with two weeks of lower abdominal mass and dull pain. She underwent total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and the pathology examination revealed uterine leiomyosarcoma. The patient had a surgical history of laparoscopic myomectomy with a pathologic diagnosis of atypical leiomyoma of the uterus two and a half years ago.

The incidence of uterine leiomyosarcoma is very low. In the modern era, echography and computed tomography remain unable to clearly differentiate uterine leiomyosarcoma from leiomyoma, whereas MRI is a sensitive tool for diagnosis. Therefore, if a lower abdominal mass is more than 8 cm or rapidly growing, MRI, biopsy, or laparoscopic exploration, is strongly recommended. Moreover, while atypical leiomyoma of the uterus is mostly benign in nature, it has a high rate of recurrence and the potential of transformation into leiomyosarcoma. Hence, for early detection of recurrence, pelvic examination twice a year, annual chest X-ray, and pelvic imaging are recommended for at least 5 years postoperatively in these cases.

Published: January 2022

本文探討新媒體的概念、認知與形式如何影響傳統媒介，造成當代攝影書的後數位轉向。研究案例為不同版本的攝影書《不多不少》(2018)，該計畫初始為蘇文（Thomas Sauvin）蒐集的肖像相冊，再由小池健輔（Kensuke Koike）解構並重塑圖像，最後則由三間分別位於法國、義大利與中國的出版社，於相同期限內以相同素材限量製成攝影書。以上述事實作為文本，分析的開展則以「再中介」理論為基礎，並從「直感性」和「超媒介性」等概念討論中，揭示出21 世紀讀者影像閱讀經驗的「介面」協商，在完成一種藝術實踐與關係美學的積極意義與物質性影響。

 

This paper seeks to investigate how concept, cognition and form in new media affected traditional media and led to the post-digital turn of contemporary photobook practice. No More No Less , the subject of the case study, is the result of a project carried out by two artists. Thomas Sauvin collected ready-made portrait albums for Kensuke Koike to deconstruct and reconstruct the images. They provided identical materials to three publishers in France, Italy, and China, respectively, and commissioned them to produce limited copies of photobooks by the same deadline. This paper employs the theory of "remediation" as well as the concepts of "immediacy" and "hypermediacy" to analyze the case of No More No Less. This paper demonstrates that, in the reading experiences for the 21st century viewers, the interface negotiation is to fulfill certain aspects of the active meaning and the influence of materiality in art practice and relational aesthetics.

Bu araştırmanın amacı vücut geliştirme egzersizi yapan erkeklerin besinsel ergojenik yardımcı kullanma durumuna göre kaslı olma dürtüsü düzeylerinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya Çanakkale ilinde ikamet eden ve fitness salonu kullanıcısı olan 18-55 yaş arası (ortalama 26,3±7,70 yıl) 192 erkek gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcılara iki bölümden oluşan anket formu uygulanmıştır. Anketin birinci bölümünde araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan demografik bilgi formu ikinci bölümünde ise McCraery ve Sasse (2000) tarafından geliştirilen Selvi ve Bozo (2019) tarafından Türkçe uyarlaması yapılan “Kaslı Olma Dürtüsü Ölçeği” (KODÖ) uygulanmıştır. Araştırmaya dair verilerin analizi SPSS istatistiksel veri analiz programında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizilerde gruplar arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla Pearson Korelasyon, iki grup arasındaki farkı belirlemek için Indepented T Testi ve çoklu gruplar arasındaki farkı belirlemek amacıyla Oneway Anova testleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda katılımcıların %55,7’sinin besinsel ergojenik yardımcı kullandığı ve bunların içinde en çok tercih edilen takviyelerin ise protein tozu (%80), dallı zincirli amino asit (BCAA) (%55,3) ve kreatin (%52,9) olduğu görülmüştür.

Además de la intrínseca importancia que poseen las elecciones en el funcionamiento del sistema democrático, estos comicios se enmarcaron en un contexto histórico. Las Elecciones Generales 2021 se celebraron en el año del bicentenario de la independencia del Perú, durante la crisis sanitaria producida por la COVID-19 y, a su vez, fueron el quinto proceso de Elecciones Generales ininterrumpido, hito histórico en la historia de este país.
Los efectos de la pandemia en el sistema democrático peruano: la organización de las Elecciones Bicentenario

Una de las características principales de la democracia es la celebración de elecciones competitivas y transparentes. Para ello, la administración electoral planifica y ejecuta estrategias, además de buenas prácticas que permitan a las y los ciudadanos ejercer su derecho al sufragio en comicios libres, seguros y justos. A inicios de 2020, la propagación y el contagio de la COVID-19 en diferentes países del mundo alteraron no solo patrones de conducta de la ciudadanía sino también la vida democrática. En algunos casos, la pandemia produjo la suspensión o retraso de las elecciones nacionales, municipales y/o consultas populares, así como la ejecución de estos procesos mediante la aplicación de protocolos sanitarios. Perú, en 2021, llevó a cabo dos jornadas electorales nacionales para elegir los cargos de presidencia, vicepresidencias, Congreso de la República y Parlamento Andino. En ambos casos, la Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales (ONPE) dispuso la aplicación de protocolos y otras medidas para el desarrollo de estos comicios. Así, el accionar de la ONPE buscaba resolver dos preocupaciones generalizadas: la posibilidad de una menor participación electoral y el aumento del número de contagios. De esta manera, este artículo pretende presentar las actividades y buenas prácticas desarrolladas por esta institución, en el marco de las Elecciones Bicentenario, frente a la mencionada pandemia y cómo estas afectaron la participación electoral y el número de casos detectados con COVID-19. Estos dos indicadores servirán para demostrar la efectividad de los protocolos implementados.

En los últimos años, las redes sociales se han convertido en una herramienta fundamental en las campañas electorales. Específicamente, Twitter® se ha vuelto un canal de comunicación de campaña de vital importancia, ya que permite generar opinión, dar a conocer propuestas y posicionar candidaturas. El presente trabajo investiga cómo las y los once precandidatos con mayor intención de voto a la presidencia de Colombia llevaron a cabo la comunicación en Twitter® durante el Paro Nacional de abril de 2021. En aquella comunicación entre las y los precandidatos a la presidencia y las y los potenciales votantes, los sentimientos que se generan como respuesta a esa interacción tienen un impacto sobre las emociones. Con el paquete tidytext de R se analizaron un total de 18.093 tuits para las once cuentas verificadas de las y los precandidatos a la presidencia seleccionadas en Twitter® y, específicamente, los 2.700 tuits que están relacionados con temas de coyuntura general sobre el paro nacional. Esto permitió establecer la relevancia de aquellos temas en la comunicación de las y los precandidatos a la presidencia. Además, se pudo entender qué sentimientos y emociones generaron esas comunicaciones en las y los potenciales votantes.
Las elecciones primarias en Argentina en 2021: ¿anticipo de un cambio de rumbo?

Published: January 2022

En medio de la coyuntura por la crisis sanitaria por la COVID-19 y los efectos de la crisis económica, Argentina celebró el 12 de setiembre de 2021 las elecciones primarias, abiertas, simultáneas y obligatorias (PASO). Aquellas sirvieron para elegir las candidaturas que competirán en las elecciones generales de noviembre para renovar el Congreso (24 bancas en el Senado y 127 en la Cámara de Diputados). A pesar de que en un primer momento hubo intentos por suspenderlas, las PASO se realizaron en una fecha posterior a la original. Las campañas electorales estuvieron marcadas por la disputa entre las dos principales fuerzas políticas. Sin embargo, también emergieron otras opciones que lograron tener resultados positivos en los comicios y consiguieron superar el umbral del 1,5% para estar en la boleta en las generales. De repetirse la tendencia en noviembre, el oficialismo perdería espacios estratégicos en el Congreso nacional.
