Published: April 2024

Abstract. This study presents a systematic investigation of the characteristics and meteorological impacts of warm conveyor belts (WCBs). For this purpose, we compile a new WCB climatology (1980–2022) of trajectories calculated with the most recent reanalysis dataset ERA5 from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Based on this new climatology, two-dimensional masks are defined that represent the inflow, ascent, and outflow locations of WCBs. These masks are then used to objectively quantify the key characteristics (intensity, ascent rate, and ascent curvature) and meteorological impacts (precipitation and potential vorticity (PV) anomalies) of WCBs in order to (i) attribute them to different stages in the life cycle of the associated cyclones and to (ii) evaluate differences in the outflow of the cyclonic and anticyclonic branches. The approach was applied globally, but this study focuses on the North Atlantic, one of the regions where WCBs ascend most frequently. The method is first tested and illustrated through three case studies of well-documented cyclones, revealing both the similarities and the case-to-case variability in the evolution of the WCB characteristics and impacts. We then extend the analysis to about 5000 cyclones that occurred in winter between 1980–2022 in the North Atlantic. The case studies and the climatological analysis both show that WCBs are typically most intense (in terms of air mass transported, ascent rate, precipitation rate, and volume) during the intensification period of the associated cyclone. The northward displacement along the storm track and diabatic PV production lead to an increase in low-level PV in the region of WCB ascent during the cyclone life cycle. The negative PV anomaly at upper levels, associated with the WCB outflow, remains relatively constant. The investigation of the WCB branches reveals an increasing intensity of the cyclonic WCB branch with time, linked to the increasing strength of the cyclonic wind field around the cyclone. Due to a lower altitude, the outflow of the cyclonic WCB branch is associated with a weaker negative PV anomaly than the anticyclonic one, which ascends to higher altitudes. In summary, this study highlights the distinct evolution of WCB characteristics and impacts during the cyclone life cycle and the marked differences between the cyclonic and anticyclonic branches.

Hubungan Riwayat Terinfeksi SARS-CoV-2 dengan Persepsi Ibu Hamil Tentang Vaksinasi COVID-19 di Bekasi
Authors: Samaria Dora
Published: April 2024

Vaksinasi COVID-19 telah terbukti efektif dalam mengatasi transmisi SARS-CoV-2 secara global. Namun, persepsi masyarakat terhadap inisiasi vaksinasi masih mencerminkan ragam yang signifikan, secara khusus, pada populasi rentan seperti ibu hamil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan antara riwayat terinfeksi SARS-CoV-2 dengan persepsi ibu hamil terhadap vaksin COVID-19 di Bekasi. Desain potong lintang diterapkan dalam penelitian ini. Metode convenience sampling digunakan dalam merekrut calon responden ibu hamil dengan total responden 330 orang. Studi ini menggunakan Perception Questionnaire about COVID-19 Vaccine sebagai instrumen untuk menilai persepsi responden. Hasil uji Spearman Correlation menunjukkan  nilai r=-0,332 dengan p-value <0,0001, mengindikasikan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara riwayat infeksi SARS-CoV-2 dengan persepsi ibu hamil terkait imunisasi COVID-19. Nilai r=-0,332 menunjukkan kekuatan hubungan yang moderat (sedang), dengan arah hubungan berbanding terbalik, ditandai dengan nilai minus (-) pada r. Hal ini berarti, semakin banyak ibu hamil pernah terdiagnosis positif COVID-19, maka semakin negatif persepsi ibu terhadap pemberian vaksin COVID-19 untuk ibu hamil. Sebaliknya, semakin sedikit riwayat ibu tertular COVID-19, maka semakin positif persepsi mereka terhadap vaksin COVID-19. Diperlukan peran perawat untuk mengedukasi secara proaktif dengan memulai diskusi tentang vaksin dengan pasien, peer group sharing, hingga membuat kontrak untuk tindakan vaksinasi. Direkomendasikan desain penelitian kuasi eksperimental untuk penelitian selanjutnya, secara khusus untuk menguji efektivitas program intervensi yang dipilih untuk diterapkan pada populasi ibu hamil

Published: April 2024

ntroduction. During COVID-19 pandemic, non-invasive ventilation (NIV) was widely used during COVID-19 Pandemic. The factors predicting NIV failure in COVID-19 patients remain debatable. The goal of this research is to identify the parameters that may correlate NIV failure. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of COVID-19 patients’ data, who were admitted to ICU of the Institute of Emergency Medicine, Chisinau, during July-October 2020 and connected to NIV. The study analyzed the demographics, laboratory and respiratory parameters (at admission, at NIV initiation, 24-48h and 72-96h of NIV) and their relation with NIV failure. . For continuous variables, the established confidence interval was 95%. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for continuous variables and the Fisher’s exact test or chi-squared test was used for category data. Results. In study were included 154 patients. NIV failed in 52 patients. In NIV failure group were registered a higher rate of hypertension (88% vs 74%, p = 0.033), delirium (60% vs 20%, p=0.001) and need for sedation (83% vs 48, p=0.001). The urea levels were lower in NIV success group at admission, at NIV initiation and at 24-48h of NIV. The neutrophil/ lymphocyte ratio was higher in NIV failure group at NIV initiation; at 24-48h and 72-96h of NIV. NIV failure group had a higher level of WBC count and C-reactive protein at 24-48h and 72-96h as well as D-dimer at 72-96h of NIV. The ROX index was higher in NIV success group from NIV initiation and through 72h of NIV. Conclusions. The presence of abnormal values of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, urea, lymphocytes, WBC count, C-reactive protein, D-dimer and ROX index during non-invasive ventilation, as well as association of delirium and need for sedation, can be suggestive and informative for high risk of NIV failure in COVID-19 patients. Continuous measurement of these parameters may help the clinicians to decide the optimal timing of conversion to invasive ventilation.

Introduction. Type 2 DM accounts for over 95% of all diabetes cases worldwide and represents an important and independent cardio-metabolic risk factor. This is the first national study (Epidemiological study of widespread endocrine pathologies (diabetes, obesity) in the Republic of Moldova and its management strategy) that analyzes the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), prediabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia in the adult population of Moldova. Material and methods. This is an epidemiological cross-sectional study with cluster random sampling. A face-to-face interview was conducted with the participants using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. All biochemical tests were performed in a certified laboratory. Statistical analysis used Spearman’s correlation test, chi-square, and Wilcoxon tests. The Research Ethics Committee of Nicolae Testemițanu State University of Medicine and Pharmacy (Minutes 3 from December 28 2020) approved this study. Results. 728 individuals were enrolled, of which 2.5% had unknown DM. Advanced age, obesity, and dyslipidemia were influencing factors for diabetes. 21.4% of participants had prediabetes, with a higher prevalence in men than in women (28.3 % versus 18.9 %). Only 23.2% of men and 30.4% of women had a BMI within the normal range. Abdominal circumference (AC) values greater than 102 cm and 88 cm in men and women, respectively, were determined in 39.4% of men and 53.8% of women. Conclusions. Our study showed an increased prevalence of carbohydrate metabolism disorders, including prediabetes, as well as a high prevalence of abdominal obesity. Persons with unknown diabetes mellitus have been identified.

Authors: Verejan Victoria , Bendelic Eugeniu
Published: April 2024

Introduction. Brain injury may affect both afferent and efferent visual pathways. In children it is quite difficult to determine visual disturbances since they are often non cooperative. Visual field examination is an objective evaluation method that can outline visual pathway alteration in the acute period of head trauma. Materials and methods. Forty-eight patients with persisting visual symptoms after mild traumatic brain injury were examined. A control group of the same size has been evaluated. Results. Patients in the research group showed an obvious alteration of the fixation capacity of more than 20% in 91.7%95.8%, while in the control group the fixation capacity was up to 20% in 68.7%-70.8%. The ability to fix false positive points was up to 20% in 43.8%-45.8% patients in the research group and 70.8%-83.3% in the control group. The rate to fix false negative points was within the range of up to 20% for the research group in 93.7%-95.8% and the control group 91.7%-97.9%. The index of localized defects was up to 3dB in 62.5%-70.8% in the research group and predominantly 91.6%-95.8% for the control group. The average elevation index was within the range of < -3dB, 3dB> in 12.5%-20.8% research group and respectively 54.1%-56.2% control group. The graphic interpretation of changes in the visual field revealed a prevalence of the incidence of diffuse retinal depression with relative paracentral scotomas in 64.6%-68.7%. Conclusions. Based on the results, we can conclude that perimetric examination in the case of brain injured pediatric patients fulfils the requirements of credibility. Perimetric examination could be a landmark in the initial phase of settling post brain injured visual disturbances.
Obstetrical anesthesia for a patient with multiple sclerosis: case report and literature review
Authors: Plamadeala Svetlana , Coloman Dmitri , Ciubara Roman , Belii Natalia
Published: April 2024

Introduction. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation with progressive demyelination and axonal dysfunction. The disease affects about 1 million young adults, 2/3 of which are women of childbearing age, with all patients develop irreversible neurological dysfunction. There is observed a stagnation of the disease during pregnancy, with the return of exacerbations in the postpartum period. Contemporary specialty textbooks neither confirm nor deny the safety of neuraxial anesthesia in patients with central nervous system diseases. Clinical case. We present the clinical case of a 25-year-old nullipara pregnant (36 weeks and 6 days gestation age), known with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. The woman has relapsing multiple sclerosis symptoms during last 6 days, reason why is urgently consulted by the anesthesiologist for cesarean delivery. Management and outcome. The article describes the technique of epidural anesthesia for the obstetrical patient with multiple sclerosis and the course of the perianesthetic evolution, including 1-year follow-up after cesarean section. Discussions. With the aim of avoiding potential influences on the evolution and progression of the disease, clinical judgment and the choice of anesthetic technique (general vs. neuraxial) depends on several factors: vaginal delivery or caesarean section, the presence of contextual clinical modifiers (native or drug-induced coagulopathy, infection), the urgency of the intervention, and the patient’s cooperation. In case of parturients with multiple sclerosis, all the risks should be rigorously evaluated: on one hand - the additional risk of general anesthesia (risk of aspiration, potential loss of airway control, critical desaturations) and on the other hand - the risk of hypothetical local anesthetic toxicity in the case of neuraxial techniques. Conclusion. Neuraxial epidural anesthesia is a safe technique in obstetric patients with multiple sclerosis.

Iron is the most important component and its deficiency causes anemia that can be very dangerous for pregnant women as well as the fetus. The study was designed to identify level of anemia in pregnant women to find out the causes of anemia and to evaluate the effect of iron supplements on anemia during pregnancy. Study was conducted in district Mianwali, Punjab, Pakistan for a period 6 months on antenatal women. 50 pregnant women of the 2nd trimester were selected for study, detailed history and questionnaire regarding socio demographic characteristics were conducted before study. Iron supplements were prescribed to the antenatal enrolled women after 1st hematological incidences. Mostly women prescribed with iron supplements that contain the equivalent of 60 mg iron and 250 µg folic acid. A blood sample was collected before and after the study (9th month   of pregnancy). Patients received the iron supplementation for six months from 2nd trimester to onward then CBC results compared between before and after supplementation, which show significant difference between two values that show that iron supplements have considerable effect on anemia. Diet plays an important role in the maintenance of good health during pregnancy. The effect can be enhanced by taking iron supplements properly.

The cotton crop is the largest contributor in the world-wide economy. On the other hand, Gemini-virus is the biggest enemy of the cotton crop, causing CLCuVs infection in the African and Asian regions. It destroys the GDP rate to an alarming point. As biotechnology is serving mankind by introducing many conventional techniques like; specific RNA editing and plant breeding and advance techniques like; ZFNs, CRISPR/Cas9, and TALENs.  To produce disease-resistant Coker 312 Cotton a CRISPR/Cas9 technique was used due to its site-specific targeting and efficiency. The targeted Rep and ?C1gene play role in CLCuVs replication. An expression vector pHSE-401 containing Cas9 and multiple guided RNAs was cloned. The vector was transformed by excision of hypocotyls of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) type Coker 312 plants and infection delivery was mediated by EHA-105 Strain agrobacterium. The hypocotyls were grown on MSB regeneration media containing specific antibiotics. Then calluses were cultured in culture media and were planted into soil containing pots and kept under continuous observation. At different growth periods, no symptom of CLCuD was observed in the transgenic plants after 30 days of the growth period. The RNA was extracted at different growth periods and confirmed by PCR. The PCR products were visualized by running it on gel electrophoresis 0.8kb single guide RNA (sgRNA) bands confirmed the CRISPR/Cas9 in cotton Coker 312. Plants containing pHSE-401vector showed fewer virus traits and delay in disease development in 30 days growth period. This proposed project exhibits the desired results with a successful gene editing.

Published: April 2024

The study focuses on talent management practices in private banking using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) through AMOS software powered by SPSS. It analyzes the acquisition, promotion and retention of talent and then examines their impact on organizational performance. With the help of regression and descriptive statistical analyses, the interrelationships of the factors are explained in the research work. The regression model had weak explanatory power (limited) and still accounted for a large proportion of unexplained variance (explanation of variance is still minimal). SEM shows how complex latent variables are apparently related to each other, helping to develop optimal strategies. Descriptive data analysis provides an overview of important key metrics and allows the results to be used in the optimization of competence management.
REA: Resource Exergy Analysis – A Key to Climate Sustainability
Authors: Jentsch Andrej
Published: April 2024

Resource exergy analysis (REA) is a method to comprehensively assess the resource consumption of technical systems. It is based on the physical property “exergy”, which goes beyond conventional energy analysis by considering energy quality. Combining exergy with a scientific definition of natural resources, REA can provide a comprehensive quantification of the resource consumption caused by any demand. REA introduces resource exergy consumption as a new key metric for the assessment of technical systems. In combination with an assessment of the direct greenhouse gas emissions, it allows quantifying climate sustainability consistently. The use of REA can be a key to climate sustainability by helping to minimize wastefulness and, consequently, indirect greenhouse gas emissions.
In this paper, a sample comparison using REA and a complementary greenhouse gas analysis is provided that illustrates why REA is a key to assessing the climate impact of technologies more comprehensively than with many alternative methods. Specifically, the following systems are compared: heat supply using an individual natural gas boiler, an individual boiler using green hydrogen from wind power and district heating generated with a large heat pump using wind power. To illustrate the differences, exergy passes are used. They are a visualization tool to make REA results more transparent.
The sample analysis illustrates how REA helps to avoid greenwashing and thus support climate sustainability by complementing direct greenhouse gas emissions analysis.

Metamorphosis of basic concepts in political economy
Authors: Peftiev Vladimir , Titova Lyudmila
Published: April 2024

The shocks of the twentieth century and the crisis phenomena of the early twenty-first require from political economists new approaches to the interpretation of the changes taking place in the current economy. The dynamism and contradictory nature of the market economy is based on competition, which is the source of formal and real subordination of labour to capital. The competition that was available in the 19th and 20th centuries has disappeared from the historical arena. It has been replaced by conflict, raiding and sanctions. During the comparison of economic theories, there is a discussion of methodology, which is the basis for the development of procedures and forecasts. Despite the fact that the history of economic thought and economic history cannot give contemporaries a clear model of the development of society in the 21st century, some clues are still present. The article traces changes in the content and forms of manifestation of the concepts of the highest rank of complexity (global competition, the legacy of K. Marx and Marxism, late capitalism, the history of political economy as a space of reflexion in the 21st century). Modifications of meaning in the evolution of concepts are taken into account: historical time, epoch, century trends, generational approach. The sources of information possessing novelty from the point of view of introducing new concepts relevant for the modern stage of society development into the scientific turnover have been introduced. Hypotheses (theses - assumptions) regarding the development trajectory of Russia and the world in the current decade are put forward for discussion. Each section of the article is autonomous and has a non-trivial value.
Zmiany zatrudnienia i źródeł utrzymania ludności w gospodarstwach rolnych w latach 2005-2007
Authors: Frenkel Izasław
Published: April 2024

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki analizy zmian zatrudnienia i źródeł utrzymania ludności w indywidualnych gospodarstwach rolnych w świetle danych reprezentacyjnych badań struktury gospodarstw rolnych przeprowadzonych przez GUS w latach 2005 i 2007. Przedmiotem analizy zatrudnienia były w szczególności zmiany liczby pracujących w gospodarstwach rolnych w podziale na pracujących wyłącznie, głównie i dodatkowo w gospodarstwie oraz struktury każdej z tych populacji według cech demograficznych i poziomu wykształcenia. W odniesieniu do dochodów skoncentrowano się na analizie zmian w strukturze gospodarstw domowych według głównego źródła dochodów, wyodrębniając m.in. dochody z działalności rolniczej, pracy najemnej, pozarolniczej działalności gospodarczej i źródeł niezarobkowych, w tym emerytur i rent. Zarówno zmiany zatrudnienia, jak i dochodów analizowane były w zróżnicowaniu według grup obszarowych gospodarstw rolnych. Oceniając w konkluzji przedstawione tendencje zmian, uznano, że na ogół zmierzały one w pożądanym kierunku: zmniejszyła się ogólna liczba pracujących w gospodarstwie, zwiększył się odsetek pracujących poza gospodarstwem i odsetek gospodarstw uzyskujących dochody z tej pracy, wzrósł poziom wykształcenia użytkowników gospodarstw. Podstawą tych zmian było głównie zmniejszenie się liczby gospodarstw i poprawa ich struktury obszarowej, wzrost popytu na pracę poza rolnictwem oraz rozwój szkolnictwa na poziomie średnim i wyższym.

Warunki środowiskowe wpływają na ekonomikę gospodarstw rolnych. Potwierdzają to wyniki badania gospodarstw indywidualnych na terenach Zielonych Płuc Polski objętych siecią Natura 2000. Wpływ ten ustalono trzema sposobami. Po pierwsze na podstawie badań ankietowych 285 gospodarstw o powierzchni co najmniej 5 ha użytków rolnych w zakresie oceny subiektywnej rolników. Po drugie na podstawie gospodarstw rachunkowości rolnej (FADN) w zakresie relacji ekonomicznych oraz sprawności gospodarowania. Po trzecie także na podstawie danych rachunkowości rolnej, tylko w zakresie korzyści z realizacji pakietów programu rolnośrodowiskowego. W rezultacie prezentowane wyniki dają pewien obraz wpływu ograniczeń środowiskowych na ekonomikę gospodarstw rolnych na terenach objętych siecią Natura 2000. Obraz ten nie jest pełny ze względu na niedostatek informacji w wykorzystanych zbiorowościach gospodarstw, a przede wszystkim na zbyt krótki czas wprowadzania ograniczeń na terenach Natura 2000. Gospodarstwa na terenach ograniczeń środowiskowych niewątpliwie mają gorsze warunki środowiskowe dla produkcji rolniczej, zwłaszcza roślinnej. Transfery w ramach Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej, zwłaszcza płatności z tytułu ONW i płatności rolnośrodowiskowe sprzyjają wyrównywaniu warunków ekonomicznych. Gospodarstwa na terenach "naturowych" mają też mniejsze możliwości podejmowania pracy najemnej. Ogólne warunki ekonomiczne sprzyjają przyspieszeniu zmian struktury agrarnej przez likwidowanie jednych gospodarstw rolnych a powiększanie innych. Problemem pozostaje zagrożenie depopulacją gmin na tych terenach. Wiele zależeć będzie od społecznego wartościowania dóbr i usług środowiskowych, co powinno przekładać się na płatności za tworzone dobra publiczne i usługi środowiskowe.

Nottage on Miller: “This Is America, Right?”
Authors: Brucher Richard
Published: April 2024

abstract

This article argues that Death of a Salesman is part of the American cultural history that Lynn Nottage engages with in Sweat, her play about forced unemployment in Reading, Pennsylvania. Echoes of Miller plays in Sweat are nuanced and often ironic, but they contribute to the play’s presentation of continuing problems with the American myth of prosperity and hard work. The article discusses Miller’s and Nottage’s uses of structure and time to bring the past to bear on the present, and to instigate and unsettle audiences.
Arthur Miller as a Christian Writer
Authors: Marino Stephen
Published: April 2024

abstract

Using Christopher Bigsby’s important essay “Arthur Miller as a Jewish Writer” as a starting point, this article considers Arthur Miller’s extensive use of Christian imagery in his work, set up against his upbringing as a Jew and his embracing of atheism as an adult.
Flowers, Champagne, and Amputation in “The Men Who Saved the World,” a War Story by Edith Wharton
Authors: Parsons Isabelle
Published: April 2024

This article examines a war story by Edith Wharton, entitled “The Men Who Saved the World.” Two corrected but undated typescripts of this incomplete and unpublished short story form part of the Edith Wharton Collection in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. Dating no earlier than July 1918, this multifaceted narrative is constructed around American participation in the Great War and anticipates an Allied victory. It simultaneously mirrors some of the concerns of Wharton’s other known short stories written around the tail end of the conflict when, for example, it casts a satirical eye over the volunteer efforts of privileged women. Perhaps most remarkably, “The Men Who Saved the World” reads like an experimental attempt—ultimately abandoned by Wharton—at confronting the traumatic effects of warfare through its explicit references to amputation as medical care at the front.
“I believe my play is really ‘going through’”: Edith Wharton’s The Shadow of a Doubt: A Play in Three Acts in Performance
Authors: Chinery Mary
Published: April 2024

Edith Wharton’s The Shadow of a Doubt, a play in three acts, has generated extensive publicity as well as interest in staged readings. Now, The Shadow of a Doubt has been completely professionally staged for the first time at the 2023 Shaw Festival’s Royal George Theatre in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Director Peter Hinton-Davis sought to preserve Wharton’s original intentions as well as offer a new interpretation of this now modern classic. In early 1901, the play was already in rehearsal for a matinee with the Empire Theatre Acting Company, directed by Charles Frohman and starring Elsie De Wolfe. In his letters, Walter Berry asks how the rehearsals are going and gossips about De Wolfe. In addition, an actual promptbook from this 1901 production of The Shadow of a Doubt was located at the New York Public Library Billy Rose Theatre Division. This archival treasure shows the revisions to the play as it was in rehearsals and includes blocking and stage directions. This history suggests Wharton was an engaged playwright, attending rehearsals and participating in all aspects of the dramatic artistic experience.

In summer 2023 it received its first full professional production at the Shaw Festival (Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario). This review describes and evaluates the production, as well as the play’s links to later works by Wharton.
IMPROVing Spontaneity: Gestalt Therapy Perspective on Improvisational Theater as a Therapeutical Intervention
Authors: Andrášik Tomáš , Wurmová Nela Gruntová , Krčmářová Barbora
Published: April 2024

This article outlines the theoretical background for improv-therapeutical processes and interventions found in the contemporary theory of the Gestalt therapeutic approach. Although there is a growing number of studies reporting on the potential of improvisational theater in psychological well-being and psychotherapy, few of them explore theoretical parallels with existing psychotherapeutic approaches. This article proposes that the roots and paradigms of improv theater and Gestalt therapy are epistemologically close and explore how concepts specific for relational Gestalt therapy—understanding of self as a process in the phenomenological intersubjective field, an aesthetic approach to mental health, and the notion of creative adjustment—could contribute to the understanding and empowering of the therapeutic processes found in improv theater. The theory proposes that nurturing creative and spontaneous processes in improv possibly contributes to the healthy functioning of the self and, therefore, enhances healthy contact with the environment.
Gestalt Therapy Research: Developing a Phenomenological, Aesthetic, Field-Oriented Approach
Authors: Spagnuolo Lobb Margherita
Published: April 2024

The author proposes a frame of reference for Gestalt therapists who want to do research from a field perspective. She outlines fundamental aspects of phenomenological research that includes aesthetics of contact and the relational therapeutic approach. Ethical aspects of Gestalt therapy research, from the need of outcome research to the responsibility to show what we do in our practice, are described, in support of the discovery of new territories to advance our humanity. Two examples are offered: research on the construct of aesthetic relational knowing (ARK) to explore therapeutic intuition and responsiveness from a Gestalt viewpoint, and research to describe the process of change in the dyad therapist/client, seen as a “dance” of reciprocal, intentional movements that draws on attachment learnings.

La llegada de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones ha producido cambios relevantes en las formas en que las personas perciben y difunden información, pero también han dado lugar al conflicto de las fake news o procesos de desinformación. En este artículo se analizan los tradicionales requisitos de veracidad y relevancia pública del derecho a la información, así como la difusión de noticias a través de las redes sociales. Además, se plantean las principales respuestas jurídicas y políticas para contrarrestar las consecuencias de la desinformación, con particular énfasis en la alfabetización digital informativa y el uso de inteligencia artificial
Offshore heavy oil displacement using water flooding - flow characteristics and efficiency
Authors: Al-Obaidi Sudad , Chang Wang , Khalaf Falah
Published: April 2024

In water flooding, residual oil is displaced by injecting water into the reservoir formation. Oil displaced from injection wells is physically swept to adjacent production wells by water. Compared to conventional oil fields, offshore heavy oil fields have low oil recovery using water flooding. If we had a better knowledge of the flow characteristics of the water and oil phases, it would be very useful to improve the oil recovery of the heavy oil reservoir. In developing oil fields, it is important to study the patterns of changes in the f low characteristics of the oil and water phases. This will guide the development of numerical simulation models. This study considered the geological characteristics, fluid properties, and construction technology of an offshore oil field with heavy oil. The relative permeabilities of water and oil were investigated using steady-state and unsteady-state methods. With the unsteady state method, the effect of core permeability, water washout, and oil viscosity on the relative permeability curve and oil displacement efficiency of water flooding has been investigated. Artificial cores were utilized in the experiments. The artificial cores were developed to simulate the structure of unconsolidated sandstone in an offshore oil f ield. Computed tomography and mercury pressure testing are used to demonstrate the change in the internal structure of the core. Water washout forms the “cleaning” and “erosion” function, which affects core pore structure, increases the radius of the core pore throat, and increases the core permeability. It has the same effect on relative permeability curves and oil displacement efficiency as it does on increased permeability. The total oil recovery decreases with increasing oil viscosity since the ability to control water mobility weakens during the flooding process. Moreover, the coverage volume of the displacing water phase decreases, and the two-phase flow range narrows. Water sweeps expand as core permeability increases, resulting in a wider twophase flow as the relative permeability of the water phase increases. In turn, this enhances oil efficiency displacement and total oil recovery.
