Authors: Bhalla Gurpreet Singh , Bandyopadhyay Kuntal , Pandey Chetna , Anand Navneet , Gupta Shilpi
Published: November 2021

Background:

Due to changes in biomedical waste management rules in 2016 and further amendments frequently thereafter, there is a need to constantly update oneself on this subject, especially the health-care workers (HCWs).

Methods:

A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among the HCWs in a tertiary care hospital. A total of 500 pretested questionnaire were distributed with 427 feedbacks received. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 and Epi Info software.

Results:

A total of 427 participants responded with an overall response rate of 85.4%, which included 57 doctors (faculty), 124 resident doctors, 116 nurses, 110 paramedical staff, and 20 housekeeping staff. The mean age of the overall study group was found to be 30.06 ± 8.30 years with 242 male (56.67%) and 185 (42.33%) female participants in the study. The overall percentage of satisfactory response (≥60%) for the domains of knowledge, attitudes, and practices shows a declining trend as per occupation with best response among the faculty and worst among the supporting staff with a significant association (P < 0.001) for previous training and higher correct response among the participants.

Conclusions:

Overall awareness of this subject is unsatisfactory across various levels of health-care facilities, especially among the grassroot level workers. Thus, widespread publicity, continuous training programs, and audits are must for awareness and uniformity in practices through all echelons.

Authors: Satitpitakul Vannarut , Putaporntip Chaturong , Jongwutiwes Somchai
Published: November 2021

Acanthamoeba keratitis is predominantly caused by genotype T4. We report a case of severe keratitis caused by Acanthamoeba in a 39-year-old man who had prior accidental exposure to a corrosive chemical. The patient developed central full thickness ring infiltration and epithelial defect with hypopyon that required keratoplasty. The acanthamoebae isolated from the patient exhibited thermotolerance phenotype with the capability to grow well at ambient temperature and at 42°C. Analysis of a near complete 18S rRNA gene of this isolate revealed a distinct sequence that can be unequivocally assigned to genotype T12, a rare genotype incriminated in corneal infections.

Authors: Pastor Albaladejo Gema , SAnchez Medero Gema
Published: November 2021

This article defines and analyzes a new concept: inclusive transparency.  Specifically, it conducts a comparative study of transparency portals in twenty-five Spanish local councils, all of which occupy prime positions in Transparency International’s Index of Municipalities. The evaluation aims to establish their degree of compliance with Spanish and European regulations, ensuring website accessibility for people with disabilities. To this end, an evaluation model (composed of 4 criteria, 11 variables and 45 indicators) has been generated, taking inspiration from electronic accessibility guidelines, which have been applied using automatic techniques and transparency portal revision manuals. The results of the research allow verification of a positive correlation between the levels of active and inclusive transparency. In other words, whether in terms of active advertising benchmark municipalities design and manage their portals in ways which also guarantee, alongside all other citizens, the right of access for people with limited capacities (hearing, visual, mobile and cognitive) thereby enahancing the exercise of their political citizenship and their social integration.

Authors: Gubernat Ewa , Kociemska Hanna , Dziedziak Bernadeta , Patrzalek Leszek
Published: November 2021

Keeping local government units’ financial stability to run necessary projects is becoming a severe threat due to the remarkable increase of theirs’ debt level. A question arises whether the application of debt limits excessively restrict municipalities’ investment potential. Using the linear regression model, we proved that increasing the maximum allowable debt level decreases investment potential. We have challenged the relevance of using fiscal rules and presented liberalizing the fiscal rules’ principles to assess the investment potential as an indicator to guarantee optimum use of the local government units’ economic potential from different perspectives.

Published: November 2021

This study investigates the determinants of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) for eight emerging Asian source countries vis-à-vis 107 host countries from 2009 to 2016. We employ Bayesian model averaging and the weighted average least squares technique to address the problem of model uncertainty. Our findings reveal that the OFDI position of Asian emerging countries targets developed countries for market- and asset-seeking purposes, emerging countries for market seeking, and most resource-seeking investments are directed to other developing countries.

The study used the experimental approach and was applied to a sample of 60 female and male students, who were chosen purposefully. The sample was divided into two groups, an experimental, which was taught using the active learning method, and a control group, which was taught according to the traditional method. The results revealed the existence of significant differences between the performance of the experimental group and the control group on the post-imagination test in favor of the experimental group. The findings also showed statistically significant differences between the scores of the two study groups on the post-imagination test due to the gender variable, and the difference was in favor of males. In light of the findings of the study, the researcher recommended preparing training programs on active learning and preparing a guide for teachers, which can be used to teach and learn reading, writing, and imagination skills in the basic stage.
Atatürk’ün Kur’an-ı Kerim’i Türkçeye Tercüme Ettirme, Hutbe ve Ezanı Türkçe Okutma Çalışmaları Hakkında İnceleme
Authors: Erdoğan Abdullah
Published: November 2021

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Türk milletinin Kur’an-ı Kerim’in manasını bilmeden okuduğunu görmüş ve milletinin inandığı kutsal kitabın içeriğinden haberdar olmasını istemiştir. 1925 yılında Kur’an-ı Kerim’i Türkçeye tercüme ve tefsir ettirmek için girişimlerde bulunmuştur. Tercüme ve tefsir işi bittikten sonra Türkçe olarak on bin adet Kur’an-ı Kerim basılmış ve bütün masraflarını Atatürk karşılamıştır. Atatürk, Kur’an-ı Kerim’i anlamadan okumanın insana sevap kazandıracağını ancak ibadet yerine geçmeyeceğini söylemiştir. İbadet etmek için inanılan kutsal kitabın manasının anlaşılarak okunması gerektiğini ifade etmiştir. Osmanlı Devleti’nin son dönemlerinde bazı Türk aydınları da din dilinin Türkçeleştirilmesini düşünmüş ancak uygulamaya koyamamışlardır.Atatürk hutbe ve ezanın da Türkçe okunması konusunda çalışmalar yapılmasını istemiş ve görevlendirdiği din adamlarının çalışmalarını yakından takip etmiştir. Camilerde halka okunan Arapça hutbelerin halk tarafından anlaşılmadığını ifade etmiştir. Halkın söyleneni anlayabilmesi için okunan hutbelerin kendi dilinde yani Türkçe olmasını istemiştir. Namaza davet çağrısı olan ezanın da Türkçe okunmasını istemiştir. Atatürk din dilini Türkçeleştirirken amacının mana olduğunu ve yapılan çalışmaların din meselesi değil dil meselesi olduğunu özellikle belirtmiştir. Bu çalışmada arşiv belgelerinden de faydalanılarak Atatürk’ün din dilini niçin Türkçeleştirdiği ele alınmıştır.

An Adaptive and Interactive 3D Simulation Platform for Physics Education using Machine Learning and Game Engine
Authors: Wang Weicheng , Sun Yu
Published: November 2021

When undergraduate students just got into the physics field, it might be difficult for them to understand, think, and imagine what is happening in certain phenomenons [6]. For example, when two objects have different masses and velocity collide into each other, how are they going to act? Are they going to stop, bounce away from each other, or stick together? This simulation helps the students who do not feel comfortable imagining these scenarios. Currently we only have the gravitation lab, the trajectory lab, and the collision lab. The gravitation lab is a planet orbiting a sun, where the users can input different masses for the sun and planet, and the radius (in AU), the program will then calculate the gravitational force and orbital period while the planet starts orbiting its sun at a certain speed [7]. The trajectory lab is an object doing projectile motion, where the user input variables like initial velocity, angle, height, and acceleration, the program will present current position and velocity on the screen as the object doing projectile motion [8]. The collision lab is where the user input the masses and velocities for the two objects, and after the user decide the collision is going to elastic or not, set the lab and press start, the program will calculate the total momentum and kinetic energy and have it on the right side of the screen while the objects starts colliding [9].
Fractional Newton-Raphson Method
Authors: Torres-Hernandez A. , Brambila-Paz F.
Published: November 2021

The Newton-Raphson (N-R) method is useful to find the roots of a polynomial of degree n, with n ∈ N. However, this method is limited since it diverges for the case in which polynomials only have complex roots if a real initial condition is taken. In the present work, we explain an iterative method that is created using the fractional calculus, which we will call the Fractional Newton-Raphson (F N-R) Method, which has the ability to enter the space of complex numbers given a real initial condition, which allows us to find both the real and complex roots of a polynomial unlike the classical Newton-Raphson method.

Los fines prácticos de la oratoria religiosa criolla
Authors: Herrera Sajid Alfredo
Published: November 2021

En este artículo se analizan las corrientes filosóficas que transitaron en dos pensamientos criollos de la Provincia de San Salvador y que se manifestaron a través de la prédica. El estudio se centra en el período preindependentista, entre los años de 1811 y 1813. Durante este lapso, la historia salvadoreña muestra acontecimientos importantes, como los primeros conatos criollos de mayor repercusión en contra o a favor del régimen colonial. Por otro lado, aunque los discursos, cartas o escritos criollos conservados durante esta época no abundan en nociones filosóficas, estas dos prédicas son muy representativas en comparación al enorme vacío filosófico de los siglos precedentes.

Regularized inversion of aerosol hygroscopic growth factor probability density function: Application to humidity-controlled fast integrated mobility spectrometer measurements
Authors: Zhang Jiaoshi , Wang Yang , Spielman Steven , Hering Susanne , Wang Jian
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Aerosol hygroscopic growth plays an important role in atmospheric particle chemistry and the effects of aerosol on radiation and hence climate. The hygroscopic growth is often characterized by a growth factor probability density function (GF-PDF), where the growth factor is defined as the ratio of the particle size at a specified relative humidity to its dry size. Parametric, least-square methods are the most widely used algorithms for inverting the GF-PDF from measurements of humidified tandem differential mobility analyzers (HTDMA) and have been recently applied to the GF-PDF inversion from measurements of the humidity-controlled fast integrated mobility spectrometer (HFIMS). However, these least square methods suffer from noise amplification due to the lack of regularization in solving the ill-posed problem, resulting in significant fluctuations in the retrieved GF-PDF and even occasional failures of convergence. In this study, we introduce nonparametric, regularized methods to invert aerosol GF-PDF and apply them to HFIMS measurements. Based on the HFIMS kernel function, the forward convolution is transformed into a matrix-based form, which facilitates the application of the nonparametric inversion methods with regularizations, including Tikhonov regularization and Twomey’s iterative regularization. Inversions of the GF-PDF using the nonparameteric methods with regularization are demonstrated using HFIMS measurements simulated from representative GF-PDFs of ambient aerosols. The characteristics of reconstructed GF-PDFs resulting from different inversion methods, including previously developed least-square methods, are quantitively compared. The result shows that Twomey’s method generally outperforms other inversion methods. The capabilities of the Twomey’s method in reconstructing the pre-defined GF-PDFs and recovering the mode parameters are validated.
Retrieval improvements for the ALADIN Airborne Demonstrator in support of the Aeolus wind product validation

Published: November 2021

Abstract. The realization of the European Space Agency’s Aeolus mission was supported by the long-standing development and field deployment of the ALADIN Airborne Demonstrator (A2D) which, since the launch of the Aeolus satellite in 2018, has been serving as a key instrument for the validation of the Atmospheric LAser Doppler INstrument (ALADIN), the first-ever Doppler wind lidar (DWL) in space. However, the validation capabilities of the A2D are compromised by deficiencies of the dual-channel receiver which, like its spaceborne counterpart, consists of a Rayleigh and a complementary Mie spectrometer for sensing the wind speed from both molecular and particulate backscatter signals, respectively. Whereas the accuracy and precision of the Rayleigh channel is limited by the spectrometer’s high alignment sensitivity, especially in the near field of the instrument, large systematic Mie wind errors are caused by aberrations of the interferometer in combination with the temporal overlap of adjacent range gates during signal readout. The two error sources are mitigated by modifications of the A2D wind retrieval algorithm. A novel quality control scheme was implemented which ensures that only backscatter return signals within a small angular range are further processed. Moreover, Mie wind results with large bias of opposing sign in adjacent range bins are vertically averaged. The resulting improvement of the A2D performance was evaluated in the context of two Aeolus airborne validation campaigns that were conducted between May and September 2019. Comparison of the A2D wind data against a high-accuracy, coherent Doppler wind lidar that was deployed in parallel on-board the same aircraft shows that the retrieval refinements considerably decrease the random errors of the A2D line-of-sight (LOS) Rayleigh and Mie winds from about 2.0 m∙s−1 to about 1.5 m∙s−1, demonstrating the capability of such a direct detection DWL. Moreover, the measurement range of the Rayleigh channel could be largely extended by up to 2 km in the instrument’s near field close to the aircraft. The Rayleigh and Mie systematic errors are below 0.5 m∙s−1 (LOS), hence allowing for an accurate assessment of the Aeolus wind errors during the September campaign. The latter revealed different biases of the L2B Rayleigh-clear and Mie-cloudy horizontal LOS (HLOS) for ascending and descending orbits as well as random errors of about 3 m∙s−1 (HLOS) for the Mie and close to 6 m∙s−1 (HLOS) for the Rayleigh winds, respectively. In addition to the Aeolus error evaluation, the present study discusses the applicability of the developed A2D algorithm modifications to the Aeolus processor, thereby offering prospects for improving the Aeolus wind data quality.
Milankovic Pseudo-cycles Recorded in Sediments and Ice Cores Extracted by Singular Spectrum Analysis

Published: November 2021

Abstract. Milankovic cycles describe the changes in the Earth's orbit and rotation axis and their impact on its climate over thousands of years. Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) is a signal processing method that is best known for its ability to find and extract pseudo-cycles in complex signals. In this short paper, we propose to apply it to three time series that have been proposed as geological reference time scales, in order to retrieve, compare and identify their Milankovic periodicities: (1) LR04, a stack of Plio-Pleistocene benthic microfossil records (Lisiecki and Raymo, 2005), (2) the CO2 and CH4 records from the Vostok ice core (Petit et al, 1999) and (3) the long-term orbital solution La04 for the insolation of Laskar et al (2004). The Vostok CO2 and CH4 series share the first 7 SSA components, three main ones (98, 104, 39 kyr), and four smaller ones (18, 22, 65, 180 kyr). CO2 displays a component at 28 kyr and a doublet at 61 and 62 kyr. CH4 displays a doublet near 50 kyr. 18/22 ky is a precession doublet, 62 kyr an insolation component, and 95/105 kyr an insolation/eccentricity doublet. The 49/50 kyr doublet in CH4 is not found in the orbital model. The SSA results for the La04 orbital solution are in excellent agreement with the values obtained by Laskar et al (2004). Four SSA components of obliquity are almost identical (rounded figures are 41, 54, 29 and 39 kyr). As far as eccentricity is concerned, the first five components are 404, 95, 124, 99, and 132 kyr. The next components are not found in our list of components for eccentricity, but they are in the SSA of insolation, at 2338, 970, 488 and 684 kyr. With more than 20 components, the LR04 stack is the richest series. In order of decreasing amplitude, one encounters 41, 95 and 75 kyr components. Next are smaller 39.5 and 53.6 kyr components, and a 22.4 kyr component. One recognizes one of the two main precession components, the doublet of obliquity components, a line at 47.4 kyr that is not found in any of the other spectra, and a doublet at 53.6 and 55.7 kyr, corresponding to the line at 54 kyr found in all four orbital quantities. Next comes a line at 63.6 kyr that may correspond to a line in insolation, CH4 and CO2. Then come components from eccentricity variations at 75.2, 94.5, 107.2, 132.1, 198.6 and 400.9 kyr. The remaining components of LR04 show up in La04. The “elusive ~200 kyr eccentricity cycle” of Hilgen et al (2020) is actually present in all three series, in the La04 orbital model as a 195 ± 6 kyr component of eccentricity and in LR04 as a 198.6 ± 5.6 kyr component. Finding not only the main expected Milankovic periodicities but also many “secondary” components with much smaller amplitudes gives confidence in our iterative SSA method (iSSA), on the quality of the La04 model and on the remarkable LR04 sedimentary stack, with more than 15 “ Milankovic periods”.
Impact of terrestrial biosphere on the atmospheric CO2 concentration across Termination V
Authors: Hes Gabriel , Sánchez Goñi Maria Fernanda , Bouttes Nathaelle
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Among the 100 kyr climatic cycles of the late Pleistocene, Termination V (TV, ~[404-433] kyr BP), the fifth last deglaciation, stands out for its minimum in astronomical forcing associated paradoxically with maxima in sea level, Antarctic temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration. However, the driving mechanisms explaining TV remain only partially understood. For instance, climate models cannot fully represent the atmospheric CO2 variation observed in paleoclimate data. Aside from essential oceanic circulation processes, there is increasing evidence that terrestrial biosphere may have played a key role in the global carbon cycle. This study proposes a three-step integrated approach, combining regional and global vegetation records with modeling results, to unveil the evolution of terrestrial biosphere and its contribution to the carbon cycle during TV. First, we provide a new high resolution (~700 years) deep-sea pollen record from the Gulf of Cadiz (Site U1386, 36°49.680 N; 7°45.320 W) for TV, which shows a moderate expansion of the Mediterranean forest. We then construct the first global forest pollen database for this period. Our compilation features distinct evolutions for different types of forest, highlighting a strong development of temperate and boreal forest which may have delayed the atmospheric CO2 increase during TV. Finally, the direct comparison of global simulated forests (iLOVECLIM model) to our pollen database reveals consistent forest evolutions despite model biases, thereby supporting a CO2 mitigation by high latitude forests of the northern hemisphere.
Technical Note: Past and future warming – Direct comparison on multi-century timescales
Authors: Kaufman Darrell , McKay Nicholas
Published: November 2021

Abstract. In 2013, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that Northern Hemisphere temperatures had reached levels unprecedented in at least 1400 years. The 2021 report now sees global mean temperatures rising to levels unprecedented in over 100,000 years. This Technical Note briefly explains the reasons behind this major change. Namely, the new assessment reflects additional global warming that occurred between two reports, and improved paleotemperature reconstructions that extend further back in time. Critically, the conclusion also considers multi-century future warming, which thereby enables a direct comparison with paleotemperature reconstructions on multi-century time scales.

The Technology Revolution of The Criminal Jurisdiction Process Without Paper
Authors: Senjaya Murshal
Published: November 2021

The technological revolution for the Paperless Criminal Court Process is that in the development of evidence as regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code, it can no longer accommodate developments in information technology; this creates new problems. This problem causes the form of printed media to be shifted to digital media (paperless). This shift makes a significant change in crime using computers because evidence of a crime that will lead to a criminal event is in electronic data. Either on the computer itself (hard disk/floppy disc) or printed out or in another form in the form of a trace (path) of a computer user activity. The judge is not related to the correctness of conformity embodied on the instructions as evidence because electronic evidence cannot stand alone to prove the defendant's guilt. Therefore, it needs to be supported by other evidence.

College Students’ Academic Achievement: Exploring the Role of Hope and Academic Self-Efficacy
Authors: Penzar Esther C. , Shea Munyi , Edwards Cher N.
Published: November 2021

In the present study, the relationships among trait hope, academic self-efficacy, and academic achievement (self-reported GPA) were examined among college students. Demographic differences were analyzed based on college-going status, ethnicity, and gender. First-generation college-going students (FGCS) reported significantly lower levels of hope, academic self-efficacy, and academic achievement when compared to non-FGCS. Male students reported significantly lower academic self-efficacy compared to female students. There was no statistically significant difference between non-White and White students. Overall, academic self-efficacy was a stronger predictor of achievement than hope. Between the two subscales of trait hope, agency was more strongly correlated with academic achievement than pathways. Furthermore, a mediation analysis indicated that academic self-efficacy fully accounted for the relationship between agency and academic achievement, which suggests that perceived capacity and agency to perform tasks in a specific domain may be more strongly associated with academic achievement than a general sense of hope and motivation.
