Implementation and evaluation of the unified stomatal optimization approach in the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES)
Authors: Li Qianyu , Serbin Shawn P. , Lamour Julien , Davidson Kenneth J. , Ely Kim S. , Rogers Alistair
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Stomata play a central role in regulating the exchange of carbon and water vapor between ecosystems and the atmosphere. Their function is represented by land surface models (LSMs) by conductance models. The Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES) is a dynamic vegetation demography model that can simulate both detailed plant demographic and ecophysiological dynamics. To evaluate the effect of stomatal conductance model representation on forest water and carbon fluxes in FATES, we implemented an optimality-based stomatal conductance model—the Medlyn (MED) model, that simulates the relationship between photosynthesis (A) and stomatal conductance to water vapor (gsw) as an alternative to the FATES default Ball-Woodrow-Berry (BWB) model. To evaluate how the behavior of FATES is affected by stomatal model choice, we conducted a model sensitivity analysis to explore the response of gsw to synthetic climate forcing variables including atmospheric CO2 concentration, air temperature, radiation, and vapor pressure deficit (VPD). We found that modeled gsw values varied greatly between the BWB and MED formulations due to the different default stomatal slope parameters (g1). After harmonizing g1 and holding the same stomatal intercept parameter (g0) for both model formulations, we found that the divergence in modeled gsw was limited to conditions when the VPD exceeded 1.5 kPa. We then evaluated model simulation results against measurements from a wet evergreen forest in Panama. Results showed that both the MED and BWB model formulations were able to capture the magnitude and diurnal change of measured gsw and A but underestimated both by about 30 % when the soil was predicted to be very dry. Our study suggests that the parameterization of stomatal conductance models and current model response to drought are the critical areas for improving model simulation of CO2 and water fluxes in tropical forests.
Kinematic and dynamic accuracy of spherical mechanisms
Authors: Vo Dinh Tung , Kheylo Sergey , Nguyen Van Quoc
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Among parallel robots, spherical robots occupy an important place.
Most applications of spherical manipulators can be found in orienting
devices, such as camera orienting and medical instrument alignment. A
spherical parallel robot is, in general, made up of the base platform and the moving platform. This mobile platform and base are connected by three equally spaced legs, each consisting of revolute joints only. The axes of all joints intersect at a common point, which is called the center of rotation. The motion of the moving platform is confined on the surface of a sphere centered at the rotation center. A spherical parallel robot provides 3 degrees of freedom of pure rotations. These robots have been the subject of many papers dealing with the structure, the problems of position and
velocity, workspace modeling, singularity analysis, and some problems with
the dynamic analysis. However, not all the important problems have been
solved. These concern the problem of accuracy. This paper presents
accuracy of the spherical parallel. In the considered spherical manipulator, each leg consists of five kinematic pairs. The kinematic accuracy is determined on the kinematic problem. The dynamic accuracy is estimated on the equation of motion. Examples of solving the problem of determining the positioning error of the output level are presented.
Reduction of windturbine generated seismic noise with structural measures
Authors: Abreu Rafael , Peter Daniel , Thomas Christine
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Reducing wind turbine noise recorded at seismological stations promises to lower the conflict between renewable energy producers and seismologists. Seismic noise generated by the movement of wind turbines has been shown to travel large distances, affecting seismological stations used for seismic monitoring and/or the detection of seismic events. In this study, we use advanced 3D numerical techniques to study the possibility of using structural changes in the ground on the wave-path between the wind turbine and the seismic station in order to reduce or mitigate the noise generated by the wind turbine. Testing a range of structural changes around the foundation of the wind turbine, such as open and filled cavities, we show that we are able to considerably reduce the seismic noise recorded by placing empty circular trenches approx. 10 meters away from the wind turbines. We show the expected effects of filling the trenches with water. In addition, we study how relatively simple topographic elevations influence the propagation of the seismic energy generated by wind turbines and find that topography does help to reduce wind turbine induced seismic noise.

Published: January 2022

This essay describes the development and implementation of the redesigned Doctor of Education program at Northeastern University. In our new model, students implement and evaluate the effectiveness of their change work while enrolled in our program. Our intent in moving from a traditional model to our alternative model was to focus on providing students the opportunity to create systemic, justice-oriented change guided by our faculty. The program now uses action research as its signature pedagogy and an alternative format for the Dissertation in Practice. We developed the alternative format for the Dissertation in Practice to privilege participants’ voices and to focus on the results of our students’ initiatives. This essay discusses the challenges and successes experienced in the creation and implementation of an alternative model for the Doctor of Education degree.

Anatomy and the future: opportunities as translational science
Authors: Aránega Antonia
Published: January 2022

Considerations are made on the development and future of Anatomy as a translational science, as well as the social impact it has had and has as a scientific discipline within the medical sciences. Throughout history, it has been possible to verify how Anatomy has been expanding its common borders with the rest of the medical disciplines, and how its scientific achievements show the close relationship between the development of society and scientific-technological progress. The progressive incorporation of modern study technologies into anatomical research has made it possible to broaden the field of exploration and diagnosis of diseases at the cellular, subcellular and macromolecular levels. With these considerations, I have also wanted to demonstrate the important work that translational anatomical research carries out in medical practice and, so that this work can be recognized in all its dimensions, including the social one.

Pelé, futebol e ditadura: uma resenha do documentário “Pelé”
Authors: Giordani Vasques Daniel , Mariante Neto Flávio Py
Published: January 2022

Esse texto trata-se de resenha crítica do documentário “Pelé”, lançado pela Netflix em fevereiro de 2021. A obra apresenta a carreira futebolística de Pelé entre as Copas de 1958 e 1970 e, para isso, mostra as tensões em torno do personagem e do contexto político brasileiro. A partir dessas reflexões e da sua recorrente comparação com Muhammad Ali, perguntamos: Por que Pelé teve uma postura não combativa em relação a questões políticas de sua época? Com base na teoria do processo civilizador, procurou-se responder em observância às relações de poder, que situaram Pelé como membro da sociedade estabelecida, e a configuração social que, formada por futebol/esporte, Estado e povo, e na governança de um regime autoritário e violento, diminuiu os graus de liberdade para Pelé agir.
COVID-19 Pandemic: Assessment of its Impact and Insurability of Pandemic Risks in the Nigerian Insurance Business
Authors: Abere Omotayo Johncally , Saka Toyin Shafau
Published: January 2022

Coronavirus is a virus whose genome consists of a single strand of ribonucleic acid. The timing and the global environment (China) which COVID-19 originated from has made its spread faster than expected because China had 739 international air travel routes and 51 million people used to travel between China and other countries before the disease outbreak. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the impacts and the mortality rate of this deadly disease in order to consider its insurability. The specific objective of this research is to analytically examine factors affecting the insurability of pandemic risks in the Nigerian insurance business within specified time frame. Different methods/strategies of investigations were conceived to gather data/materials related to the study in order to have comprehensive knowledge on the subject matter. The two statistical tools used are descriptive and inferential. Kaplan Meier Model was used to carry out the hazard estimate based on the computation arrived at using Microsoft Excel package. This study analyzed 167 467 cases reported/observed within seventeen (17) months in Nigeria (Feb 2020-June 2021). The geographical location of this research is global. It is not limited to Nigeria alone but special attention was paid to cases in Nigeria to consider insurability of pandemic risks by the Nigerian insurers. 0.5 connotes equal chance of death and survival. As the value moves closer to 1 from 0.5, the probability risk of death is becoming more certain and vice versa. It is clear from the analysis that as months passed by, the estimated figures began to increase showing that more deaths were being recorded. The lockdown and other safety measures adopted to fight COVID-19 disrupted economic recovery, affected financial markets/services and in turn increased insurance claims. The pandemic impacts on the global insurance markets have been largely affected as a result of weaker premium growth prospects, capital market volatility, asset risks and so on.  In time of crisis, losses come as well as opportunities. This study suggested how identified negative impacts of COVID-19 could be minimized while strategizing to maximize the opportunities therein. It also showed analytically how high mortality risk poses threat to insurability of pandemic risks.
Design of Gender-Specific Benefits in Social Security Schemes: Experience from Tanzania
Authors: Mkude Mathias , Zacharia Getrude
Published: January 2022

This study aimed to investigate designing and challenges of the implementing gender-specific benefits in social security schemes (NSSF and PSSSF) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Twenty-four (24) respondents were involved in this study. Face-to-face Semi-structured interviews were the main method used in data collection. Data collected were analyzed through Thematic and Content analysis. The findings revealed that the Maternity benefit is the only gender-sensitive benefit included in social security schemes. Additionally, the findings revealed that policies, programs, strategies, and laws concerning social protection are gender blind while social security benefits are characterized by the exclusion of paternity benefits and informal sectors.  The study concludes that gender-centered social security benefits can be viewed in the design and implementation of social security benefits. The study recommends that the government should reform social security policies to suit gender as a primary factor in its design. The study recommends that members should demand changes in benefits because members’ contribution is a great source of income in social security schemes.

Authors:   Deputy Director of the Belarusian Institute of Strategic Research, Candidate of Political Sciences, Shendik Tatyana
Published: January 2022

This article focuses on the issues related to the socio-political consequences of digital transformation of society, in particular, the evolutionary development of political parties. To reveal the general trends of such transformation, the author bases her thesis on the analysis of post-industrial theorists, and sets out the following basic guidelines for party building: unprecedented development of science and technology, influence of symbolic knowledge on the system of power distribution; increased role of information flows, diversification of information transmission forms; demassification of society and its network organisation; destruction of former identities, erosion of classes and social groups; deconstruction of ideologies, their transformation into applied political technologies; shift of political activity to Internet platforms and media space. Considering the impact of these factors, and using the methodology of comparing political parties proposed by K.Janda, the author sets out her view on the features of institutionalisation, problem orientation, social support, organisational complexity, centralisation of power, autonomy, coherence, involvement, strategy and tactics, governmental status of political parties in post-industrial society.

The article provides an overview of the main priorities and measures in the field of ensuring food security, enshrined in the strategic and program documents of the Republic of Kazakhstan at the present stage. The author identified key priorities and directions for the development of food policy and reviewed the progress of its implementation in terms of key indicators. For instance, the author highlights the increase in acreage as one of the measures of state policy in the field of food security. By analyzing the statistical data, there has been revealed the trends of an increase in the area of irrigated land since 1991, as well as a disproportion in the volume of sown areas in the context of regions. The author also considered such areas of food policy as ensuring an increase in yields, the creation of national competitive brands with an emphasis on environmental friendliness and an increase in the share of agricultural products in the country's GDP. The paper identifies trends in achieving indicators of food security development in each of these areas.
Нимфидий Сабин в 68 г.: история двух заговоров
Authors: Дороненко Илья Алексеевич
Published: January 2022

Гражданская война 68–69 гг., вошедшая в историографию как «год четырех императоров», показала, по выражению Тацита, «imperii arcano» – принцепсом можно было стать не только в Риме. Если на первом этапе междоусобицы основной силой была преторианская гвардия, то после апреля 69 г. судьбу Империи определяли легионы. Статья посвящена самому началу «долгого 69 года» – событиям, связанным с деятельностью Нимфидия Сабина. Он был командиром преторианской гвардии в должности префекта претория с 65 по 68 г. Почти ничего не известно о его карьере до префектуры. Античная традиция зафиксировала причастность Сабина к двум заговорам: против Нерона и Гальбы. На основании трудов Иосифа Флавия, Публия Корнелия Тацита, Плутарха, Гая Светония Транквилла и Кассия Диона в статье сделан вывод о том, что Нимфидий сыграл решающую роль в свержении Нерона, но не был причастен к «заговору» против Гальбы.
Флотская префектура и ее место в системе римского командования (ранняя Римская империя)
Authors: Телепень Сергей Валерьевич
Published: January 2022

Предметом статьи является флотская префектура Римской империи I–II вв. Роль и место префектов флота в системе военного командования рассматриваются в связи с анализом формировавшейся в данный период схемы всаднической военной и административной карьеры. На основании литературных и эпиграфических источников показаны предпосылки и этапы эквитской карьеры. В статье обосновывается точка зрения о возраставшей заинтересованности императоров в использовании назначенцев из числа всадников – в качестве альтернативы командирам и администраторам из среды сенаторов. Подчеркивается, что интерес со стороны всадников к участию в государственных делах также возрастал, что нашло выражение в стремлении эквитов запечатлеть этапы своей карьеры в соответствующих надписях. Соответственно, в статье рассматривается проблема постепенного встраивания флотской префектуры в систему эквитских постов. Показано, что итогом стало превращение данной префектуры (во всяком случае, что касается командования крупнейшими флотами Империи) в должность прокураторского уровня. Последнее находит объяснение в важной роли, которую римские флотские соединения играли в обеспечении римского господства как в центральной части государства, так и на далекой его периферии.

Television implies a specific communication, a situational framework, it offers us an image of the enunciator, of the recipient and even an image of a relationship that is proposed in and through discourse. The recorded and analysed corpus is dialogical and conversational at the same time, because it involves several enunciators but also several speakers. The debate is controversial but also involves cooperation, at some points. Emphasis is placed on polemical strategies, on divergences between the points of view that involve rejecting and attacking the other's arguments.

ntroduction: We evaluated a simulation-based training day for medical registrars to define the hidden curriculum of the training. Methods: We interviewed participants to explore their reflections about the day, what they had learned and how it had influenced their practice. Interviews were conducted iteratively and analysed in accordance with content thematic analysis. Results: We established four themes: sharing (collaborative learning), sensing (comparing one’s practice against peers’), transforming (development or change in practice based on learning from the day), and endorsing (appreciating authenticity in the simulation and psychological safety in debriefing). Conclusion: This evaluation furthered our understanding of the self-reported learning outcomes of our participants. We encourage other institutions to perform similar evaluations to build a collaborative understanding of simulationbased education for medical registrars.

Point of care ultrasound scanning (POCUS) is safe and effective in positively identifying lower limb DVT in emergency departments globally. In the UK, the requisite knowledge and skills are integrated into the FAMUS and FUSIC curricula. Five FAMUS practitioners of varying experience performed 3-point compression POCUS on medical ambulatory and inpatients. Accuracy and timing of POCUS was compared between practitioners and with subsequent departmental scans. 89% sensitivity and 97% specificity were observed, with little difference between supervisors and candidates. Additionally, a significantly higher proportion of POCUS vs departmental scans (69% vs 7%, p = 0.0001) occurred within 24 hours of request. Minimal experience was required to produce accurate results within ambulatory and internal medicine settings, and significant time savings can be made.

The problem of the study is that Sudan has a comparative advantage in the production and export of gum Arabic, but it has declined and this is due to the quantities exported in its initial form, which makes it vulnerable to price fluctuations and instability in the local market, in addition to its limited capabilities in global competition due to low quality, high cost and the instability of overall policies. The study aimed to identify the economics of production and export of gum Arabic in terms of productivity, volume of exports and global price. The study used the descriptive analytical approach. The study concluded several results, the most important of which is the existence of a direct statistically significant relationship between the volume of gum exports and the outcome of Sudanese gum Arabic exports, the existence of a direct statistically significant relationship between the global price of gum Arabic and the outcome of Sudanese gum Arabic exports, the absence of a statistically significant relationship between the production of gum Arabic And the outcome of Sudanese gum Arabic exports during the period (2000-2019). The study recommended paying attention to production areas and producers and overcoming the obstacles facing the production of gum Arabic in Sudan, the need to facilitate procedures for exporting gum Arabic and reducing taxes imposed on Sudanese gum Arabic exports.

Authors: 王茂昌 王茂昌 , Mao-Chang Wang Cing-Sian Ke , Cing-Sian Ke De-Piao Tang
Published: January 2022

The knowledge has become a key asset for firms in order to build a sustainable competitive advantage. The intellectual capital of a firm is positively related to its value creation and operating performance, but few studies have considered the service industry. This study used the Taiwanese service industry as a research sample to examine the effects of intellectual capital components on various intellectual capital valuation methods. The dimensions of intellectual capital variables were analyzed using principle component analysis to extract factors as independent variables, and finally stepwise regression identified and analyzed the important influence factors related to the different intellectual capital valuation methods. The results showed that six important influence factors are related to intellectual capital valuation, including the ability to control costs, profitability, employee productivity, employee resource allocation, revenue growth, and firm assets.

 
Long-Covid nel bambino e nell'adolescente: virus, salute mentale e pandemia
Authors: Cozzi Giorgio , Troisi Angela , iacono Alessandra , Marchetti Federico
Published: January 2022

Long-Covid is a typical condition of adults with a history of probable or confirmed SARS-Cov-2 infection in the previous 3 months with symptoms that last over 2 months and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis. Studies in paediatric age are heterogeneous and show a prevalence of long-Covid from 4% to 66%. The most frequent symptoms in children and adolescents are somatic symptoms and this raises the question whether they are not specific symptoms due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, in some cases they are due to the consequences of the pandemic (restrictions, uncertainty and lockdown). The lack of signifi-cant differences of the reported symptoms in seropositive and seronegative students sug-gests that long-Covid-19 might be less common than previously thought and emphasizes the impact of pandemic-associated symptoms as to the well-being and mental health of young adolescents. A targeted approach to functional rehabilitation becomes necessary and should include a psycho-relational evaluation and investigate the presence of a psychiatric comorbidity as well.
Encefalopatie epilettiche e dello sviluppo: dalla pratica alla genetica, andata e ritorno
Authors: Zanus Caterina , Carrozzi Marco , Costa Paola , Musante Luciana , Faletra Flavio
Published: January 2022

In the last decades the research on the genetics of epilepsy has greatly expanded, supported by the development of effective next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods. In particular, the studies in Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEEs) discover an everyday increasing number of new epilepsy-associated genes and provide information with positive effects on genetic counselling and treatment choice. Thanks to NGS, genetics is becoming a first line diagnostic test in DEEs but a consensus on who should receive genetic testing, on the best testing strategy and on the utility of genetic testing is still lacking. Many patients are being studied with research sequencing and analysis. The participation in a study on the genetic causes of DEE led to share some considerations about this topic and the most relevant aspects of the described experience.

Published: January 2022

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a severe multiorgan hypersensitivity reaction mostly caused by several eliciting drugs in patients with a genetic predisposition. Anti-convulsants are the main drugs involved both in adults and in children. Incidence of DRESS in children is very variable, from 1:1,000 to 1:10,000, and the mortality rate seems to be lower than 10%. The treatment of choice is the prompt withdrawn of the offending drug and using intravenous immunoglobulins and corticosteroids used in synergy. In recent years, emerging studies have outlined the disease more clearly. We present a paediatric case in which the patient developed DRESS syndrome as a result of exposure to lamotrigine before and carbamazepine after and a relapse after exposure to omeprazole. Starting from this case report we provide an overview on DRESS syndrome.

The paper reports the case of a 14-year-old boy with skull base fracture due to head trauma. The skull base fracture represents around 20% of skull fractures after trauma and has to be suspected considering the dynamics of the trauma and the clinical picture because of its high association with intracranial injury. Non-contrast CT is the gold standard for its diagnosis and the patient management should be shared with the neurosurgeon to evaluate whether surgery may be necessary.

LA RETÓRICA EN EL GORGIAS DE PLATÓN Y SU TEORÍA POLÍTICA EN EL PRESENTE: POSMODERNISMO Y POPULISMO
Authors: Sánchez Andrada Francisco de Sales
Published: January 2022

Siguiendo la tesis en virtud de la cual el Gorgias versa sobre la cuestión de la retórica, en el presente artículo se aborda la definición de esta idea a fin de establecer las diferencias entre el orador y el filósofo. No en vano, aunque retórica se define como una práctica y no como un arte (tekhnai), Platón no niega que el filósofo pueda acudir a ella para alcanzar el bien del alma de la polis. Pero, entonces, ¿quién es el gobernante ideal que garantice el bien de los ciudadanos de Atenas? Trataremos de responder a esta pregunta analizando esta figura platónica, representada en la persona de Sócrates. Así, cuando Platón responde al interrogante sobre quién debe gobernar la ciudad está construyendo su teoría política. Para finalizar, analizamos la analogía entre esta teoría política y dos de las ideologías predominantes en la actualidad: el posmodernismo y el populismo.
The Origins of Enantioselective Organocatalysis and the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Authors: Menéndez Ramos José Carlos
Published: January 2022

Any advanced society requires new molecules and materials to be used as drugs, agrochemicals, energy production and storage and countless other applications. This, in turn, requires the development of new methods for synthesis. The 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Professors Benjamin List and David MacMillan “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis”. This is a relatively new tool for enantioselective organic synthesis that has undergone an explosive growth since its introduction in 2000 by the awardees and serves as an alternative to the more traditional catalytic procedures based on the use of enzymes and metal-based catalysts.

Published: January 2022

Apresentamos uma leitura lacaniana sobre as práticas de automutilação no contexo escolar. Metodologicamente, trata-se de um texto de natureza ensaística, em que refletimos sobre este fenômeno a partir da concepção lacaniana de acting out e problematizamos as relações da automutilação com a angústia, a adolescência e o feminino. Compreendemos, a priori, a automutilação como um modo de subjetivação, uma forma que o falasser encontra para dizer aquilo que está encoberto quando, na dificuldade de utilizar o recurso da palavra, lesiona a si mesmo, deixando marcas expostas no corpo e também como uma mensagem que o falasser endereça ao Outro, como um pedido de socorro. Logo, propomos uma leitura da automutilação, contrapondo-se aos discursos universitário e do capitalismo, que têm predominado na atualidade, problematizando esse fenômeno a partir de uma perspectiva crítica e implicada com a dimensão sociopolítica do sofrimento psíquico.
