Forecasting critical weather front transitions based on locally measured meteorological data
Authors: Szántó Mátyás , Vajta László
Published: December 2023

Certain types of medical meteorological phenomenontransitions can have a significant deteriorating effect on road safety conditions. Hence, a system that is capable of warning road users of the possibility of such conversions can prove to be utterly useful. Vehicles on different levels of automation (i.e., ones equipped with driver assistance systems – DAS) can use this information to adjust their parameters and become more cautious or warn the drivers to be more careful while driving. In this paper, we prove that identifying the critical type of weather front transition (i.e., no front to unstable cold front) is possible based on locally observable meteorological information. We present our method for classifying weather front transitions to non-critical versus critical types. Our developed machine learning model was trained on a dataset covering 10 years of meteorological data in Hungary, and it shows promising results with a recall value of 86%, and an F1-score of 60%. As the developed method will form the basis of a patent, we are omitting key components and parameters of our solution from this paper.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: The active implementation of digital technologies in various fields, including in the construction industry, leads to the development of technological platforms to sell multiple products. The study examines the prerequisites for the formation of an organizational and technological platform for monolithic construction using pneumatic formwork, which is a set of material and labor resources and organizational and technological solutions that, through their consolidation with modern digital technologies, allow the implementation of construction projects with specified technical and economic requirements. This study aims to systematize various production and construction solutions, presenting them as a unified organizational and technological system that allows for achieving optimal criteria for construction products. Materials and methods: The factors ensuring its effectiveness were selected and systematized to form an organizational and technological platform. A complex system decomposition is presented at three levels of a hierarchical matrix using the analysis of hierarchies. The level of the stages of the life cycle of buildings and structures is taken as the basis, followed by the level of components of the areas of activity that form the platform's effective formation. At the last, lower level, some factors ensure its effective formation. The analysis of the totality of material and labor resources and organizational and technological solutions that make up the platform for constructing monolithic buildings and structures using pneumatic formwork systems was carried out. Results: For an adequate analytical description, it is proposed to use the a priori ranking method, which makes it possible to decompose the indicated factors influencing the effectiveness of the formation of an organizational and technological platform and to obtain specific criteria and alternatives inherent in the construction of monolithic buildings and structures on pneumatic formwork. The detailed development of an analytical apparatus for obtaining an integral assessment will be the subject of further research. Conclusions: The organizational and technological platform for monolithic construction using pneumatic formwork is an innovative tool for interaction between all participants in implementing such projects, aimed at successfully achieving construction design indicators in terms of time and cost and ensuring the required level of reliability and safety of the constructed facility. The novelty of the proposed approach is determined by the combined consideration of material, technological, organizational, and managerial solutions within a single platform to increase the efficiency of construction product production processes. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-11-010 Full Text: PDF
Watershed Delineation from DEM by Model Builder in ArcGIS
Authors: Abbas Ali Sadiq
Published: December 2023

The water level fluctuates continuously at local, continental, and global levels. Consequently, remote sensing offers extensive data for assessing the location, extent, and variability of change, including the causes and changes that occur and the reactions and repercussions of change. Considering the significance of the water level, this research focuses on describing the methodology and process to determine the water level in the Al-Zab River. This study offers a straightforward and cost-effective approach and procedure for precisely delineating flood danger regions in the Al-Zab River basin utilizing a geographic information system and the existing database. The proposed strategy for regionally dispersing flood risks combines the size of prior flood events and the geographical distribution of their causes. This approach allows for the calculation of a weighted score for each participant's causative component. The regional distribution of the flood hazard intensity level is obtained by categorizing the spatial patterns of the flood hazard index. The 30-m digital elevation model with a high resolution was utilized to evaluate the water level in this river. Furthermore, this work is considered the first step towards enhancing information management in the studied area. This study mainly aims to explain how to outline and define watersheds using ArcGIS for flood mapping. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-11-011 Full Text: PDF
Amending the Traditional ‘ACI Commentary Jc Method’ and Other Sources
Authors: Esquivel Hugo , Lin Guang
Published: December 2023

This article aims to amend the traditional formulas for polar moment of inertia suggested in Section R8.4.4.2.3 of ACI 318-19 and other sources. The authors claim that these formulas have been incorrectly derived as far back as 1960s due to an incorrect implementation of Steiner’s theorem (parallel axis theorem) for sections spanning in three-dimensional space. To support the claim, a formal proof using elementary calculus is presented in order to obtain the correct formulas with mathematical rigor. Then, the implications of using the traditional formulas versus the correct ones are investigated with the solution of a design problem related to a combined footing. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-11-015 Full Text: PDF
Effect of Bio-Cementation with Rice Husk Ash on Permeability of Silty Sand
Authors: Sorum Martina Gumsar , Kalita Ajanta
Published: December 2023

The scarcity of competent soils in the desired locations has forced geotechnical engineers to look for soil stabilization that is sustainable and environment-friendly. In this regard, bio-cementation technology has received a lot of interest in this area because of its benefits over traditional soil stabilization techniques. The present study aims to examine the influence of the bio-cementation technique with and without Rice Husk Ash (RHA) on the permeability property of silty sand. Biocemented soil samples were prepared with various combinations of the bacterial solution (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 optical density (OD)) and cementation solution (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 molarity) at 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28 curing days. The RHA, an agricultural waste with good pozzolanic qualities, was added to the control soil and the biocemented soil samples at 5, 10, and 15% by weight. A falling head permeability test was employed in this study. The test results showed that the permeability of the soil decreased when the bio-cementation technique, with or without RHA, was applied. The permeability of the soil decreased with increasing BS and CS concentrations in all curing days. A greater decrease in the permeability value was seen when the RHA additive was added to the bio-cemented soil. The results of the micro-analysis tests were also in support of this reduction. Overall, the addition of RHA up to 10% with 1.0 OD BS and 1.0M CS at a 14-day curing period was noted to optimally reduce the permeability property of the soil. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-11-016 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Benzerzour Mahfoud , Chu Duc Chinh , Amar Mouhamadou , Kleib Joelle , Abriak Nor-Edine , Nadah Jaouad
Published: December 2023

The objectives of this study were to find out in detail how well granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) could be replaced by flash-calcined sediment (SF sediment) in terms of hydration kinetics and mechanical-microstructural properties when developing an eco-friendly cement binder. The results indicated that the SF sediment substitution with a rate of 25% wt significantly improved the hydration kinetics of cement compared to the reference. This contributed to a considerable enhancement of the mechanical-microstructural properties of the mortar containing the SF sediment. By comparison with the reference, the strength of multi-composite cement-based mortar increased by 33% at 2 days and by 4.5% at 28 days, whereas its porosity decreased by 16.32% and by 12.44% for the same period. The SEM-EDS result showed that the SF sediment substitution did not significantly modify the chemical composition of the C-S-H phase, with a Ca/Si ratio range of 1.82 to 2.84 for both cement pastes. Moreover, Mg2+ and Al3+ions were two principal elements incorporated in C-S-H gels, with different ratios depending on the Ca/Si ratio of C-S-H gels. A novel model established from a combination of the curve fitting method and Power’s approach allowed for accurate prediction of the strength development of multi-composite cement-based mortars. Overall, the SF sediment substitution could be considered a promising option to develop a more eco-friendly cement binder, while the novel approach could be used as a reliable model for the strength prediction of blended cement. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-11-02 Full Text: PDF
Behavior of Steel–Lightweight Self Compacting Concrete Composite Beams with Various Degrees of Shear Interaction
Authors: Hadi Bayadir Abed , Saleh Samoel Mahdi
Published: December 2023

This study investigated the use of lightweight self-compacting concrete (LWSCC), which represents a trend in producing high-performance concrete, as slabs in steel-concrete composite beams with headed studs as shear connectors. Three push-out test specimens were fabricated and tested to assess the shear strength and behavior of M16-headed stud connectors embedded in LWSCC. Based on the push-out test results, six steel-LWSCC composite beams were manufactured and tested as simply supported composite beams. In addition, a steel-normal weight self-compacting concrete (NWSCC) composite beam specimen with full shear interaction was manufactured and tested for comparison. The main variables taken into account in this study were the degree of shear interaction and regions of bending moment (sagging or hogging). It was observed that the increase in degree of shear interaction from 50 to 100% improved the ultimate carrying capacity, the service load, and the stiffness of the tested steel-LWSCC beam specimens by a ratio reached to 96, 95, and 122%, respectively, when subjected to sagging bending moments and by a ratio reached to 57, 59, and 134%, respectively, when subjected to hogging bending moments. In addition, it was noted that the deflection and the end slip values for steel-LWSCC specimens under a sagging bending moment are smaller than those under a hogging bending moment, which have the same degree of shear interaction and at the same load level. Moreover, the experimental results show that the ultimate carrying capacity, service load, and stiffness values for the steel-NWSCC composite beam were higher than those for the steel-LWSCC beam specimens that have the same properties, while the ultimate deflection and end slip were smaller. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-11-04 Full Text: PDF

Apart from ex-mining land which requires management and rehabilitation using soil microbial communities, reclamation activities require time and technology with high costs and results that are not necessarily effective and efficient. One effective way is to provide organic fertilizer which contains lots of microbes and is able to neutralize soil acidity. This type of research is experimental research with a research design using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) 4 x 6. The population of this research is all Ruji Nut Plants (Pueraria Javanica) that grow in the PT Mine Wire House area. The main natural coal sampled in this research were 24 Ruji Nut Plants (Pueraria Javanica). The results of this research were that administering NPK solution and Micro Nano Bubbles (MNBs) was proven to help accelerate stem growth, number of leaves, number of leaf branches, root length and increase the biomass of Ruji Nut (Pueraria Javanica) plants in planting media with minimal topsoil. The dosage of Organic NPK Solution and Micro Nano Bubbles (MNBs) for optimal growth of Pueraria javanica plants was in treatment 4 (90 ml), where in treatment 4 the average stem growth, number of leaves, number of leaf branches, root length and plant biomass reached optimal point. So the use of Organic NPK solution using Micro Nano-Bubbles (MNBs) is more effective and environmentally friendly because it is formed from organic materials.

Published: December 2023

The aim of this research is to determine the quality of the softening point test, penetration test and deactivation of modified asphalt from garfted LDPE plasticization waste. And for grafting treatment, use the internal mixer method where GMA and BPO are added to the grafting mixture. From the grafting results obtained, we carried out an FTIR test and identified a wave number of 1728/cm indicating the presence of the C-H or benzene functional group. This can be interpreted as a grafting process which can also be seen at the wave number 1730/cm. This can be interpreted as a grafting process from GMA to LDPE. And for the wave number at 2723/cm, there is a CH3 stetching from the LDPE chain backbone so that what is obtained is the LDPE-g-GMA spectrum. As for the TGA and DSC test results obtained, namely that in DSC the peak value of the number is at a temperature of 160.60 C and the value obtained from TGA is 373.13 C. And to find out the standard of modified asphalt from mixing asphalt with waste The value of the grafted plastic that we carried out was 65.23, for the penetration test it was 53.7 and for the deactivation test it was 55.46. This can be interpreted that all three are in accordance with the 2018 Bina Marga asphalt standards

ABSTRACT: The increasing number of IDP camps in Nigeria due to insurgency and displacement has continued to pose serious policy as well as budget issues. The challenges and needs of these camps differ and require proper identification and isolation so as to direct limited resources effectively. Using the demographic data published by Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) on the IDP camps for 2021, an intelligent and optimized K-means cluster analysis was employed to classify the camps and identify their unique features for the purpose of guiding government policies and budget aimed at improving the standard of living in the camps. In four clusters, the model successfully classified 164 of the camps as having major poverty and health issues, 114 as having overcrowding and health issues, eleven as having overcrowding issues, and thirteen as living a normal life. The results provide a suggestive guide for imminent aid .

Words as "Toxins": Heidegger and the Jewish Question
Authors: Wolin Richard
Published: December 2023

Abstract: The recent publication of Heidegger's Black Notebooks has renewed the discussion concerning the nature and extent of Heidegger's antisemitism. The initial wave of responses to this fraught and controversial topos by Heidegger's supporters has been disappointingly—if predictably—apologetic. In their haste to downplay the philosophical import of Heidegger's antisemitism, his defenders have often lost sight of the bigger picture: as a vigorous champion of the National Socialist Volksgemeinschaft and as someone who, as late as 1953, continued to insist on the "inner truth and greatness of National Socialism," Heidegger recognized that the goal of making Germany Judenrein was an essential step toward creating a homogeneous and self-assertive "national community." The Black Notebooks demonstrate that Heidegger's antisemitism, as well as his belief in a "Jewish world conspiracy," persisted after the war. Heidegger's postwar thoughts on the "Jewish Question" attest to the prevalence of so-called "secondary antisemitism," an attitude epitomized by Zvi Rex's dark witticism, "The Germans will never forgive the Jews for the Holocaust."
The Motion-Picture Rights Contract: Legal Foundations and Trade Practices in the Studio Era
Authors: Moulton Erica L.
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT: This article relates the piecemeal history of the motion-picture rights contract—a legal document that emerged following several high-profile court cases that clarified the distinct existence of film rights from other subsidiary rights, including dra matic or theatrical. By delving into negotiations surrounding several film rights contracts between best-selling author Edna Ferber and Warner Bros., I demonstrate the tenuous relationship between the American copyright system and the trade practices developed by lawyers and agents. Without clear guidance on subsidiary rights, motion-picture rights contracts were inherently flexible documents, capable of bending to favor whichever side could leverage the most power.
Frozen Justice : Murnau in Alaska
Authors: Bergstrom Janet
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT: Rather than Sunrise (1927), F. W. Murnau dearly wanted his first film for Fox to be Frozen Justice , based on Danish explorer Ejnar Mikkelsen's 1920 novel, and to shoot it in Alaska. Studio boss Winfield Sheehan, however, thought that Murnau's friend John Ford should make that film closer to home, an idea Ford did not take up. Extensive Fox studio documentation and Murnau's correspondence show a much more convoluted history of Murnau at Fox than has previously been detailed and reveal more of the director's personality. Contracts with his writers and studio papers show that Murnau never lost hope that he could make his Alaska film for Fox. Even after leaving Fox, his partnership with Robert Flaherty to make films in faraway places could have led to Alaska after completing Tabu (1931) in the South Seas had it not been for Murnau's untimely death from an auto accident.
How the Locals Grew an Accent: The Sounds of Modern Hebrew in Early Twentieth-Century Palestine
Authors: Kahlenberg Caroline
Published: December 2023

Abstract: Early twentieth-century Palestine was a noisy place. Urban streets echoed with the cries of hawkers, the songs of nationalists, and the whistles of trains announcing their arrival. Conversations in Arabic, Turkish, Yiddish, English, Ladino, French, Hebrew, and other languages reverberated in the soundscape. In this article, I explore how Palestine's residents made sense of what they heard, focusing on one type of sound in particular: Hebrew-language accents. Building on the work of sensory historians, and focusing on Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews, I investigate the following questions: How did Palestine's residents use accents to mark identity, belonging, and exclusion? What were the stakes of sounding different? And what did it mean to sound "native"?
On Queer Remembering and Misremembering: Exploring Queer Aphasia
Authors: Rimmer Caitlin
Published: December 2023

Abstract: The suppression of community knowledge and tradition has been so historically incessant for LGBTQIA* people and communities that it has become a formative force in the understanding of queer history. One mechanism forged by this network of erasure is "queer aphasia." This is a disconnect between the ability to see queerness and identify it as such—a stoppage in verbalization. I use my research on blues performer Clara Smith as a case study to explore this phenomenon and potential pathways for counteracting its pervasive impact. Contextualizing my research within a wider legacy of queer being, I explore the broader impact on the archiving and study of queer lives.

Abstract: Popular songs are ubiquitous in the lives of school-age children, but the construction of traditional school music curricula does not always provide an adequate framework for studying them. In particular, the salience of words qua lyrics is an inescapable feature of popular songs, and recognizing the musical properties of those lyrics opens for study an important dimension of the real-world music that students of all ages engage so readily. Rather than treating song lyrics as separate from the music, I here attempt to establish that lyrics can be treated as musical entities, as demonstrated in scholarship from popular music theorists and musicologists that highlights the musical properties of song lyrics and the musicianship of those who write them. Then, I argue that existing school curricula could do more to give lyrics their musical due, which would not only enhance the teaching and learning of popular songwriting itself, but also may expand notions of what counts as music more broadly, with benefits for school music curricula overall, perhaps especially in the domains of choral and general music.
Reenactment, autorialità e copyright infringement: alcune riflessioni sull’Homenaje a Ana Mendieta (1986-1996) di Tania Bruguera
Authors: Stevanin Federica
Published: December 2023

The controversial homage of Cuban artist Tania Bruguera (1968) to her compatriot Ana Mendieta (1948‑85) is a particular case of reenactment. In fact, by reenacting the works of Mendieta, Bruguera wishes to re-establish a link between the past and the present of Cuban art, but on the other hand, due to the particular ways in which it is conducted, ends up forcing the very limits and possibilities of reenactment.

Üst kademe teorisi üst yönetimdeki kişilerin özelliklerinin firma performansları ve stratejileri üzerinde dikkate değer bir etkiye sahip olduğunu belirtmektedir. Bu doğrultuda bu çalışmada CEO değişimi, CEO değişim sıklığı, CEO görev süresi ve firma hisse senedi performansı arasında bir ilişki olup olamadığı incelenmiştir. Araştırmada bağımlı değişkenler olarak CEO değişiminin yaşandığı yıl ve takip eden yıldaki hisse senedi performansı kullanılmıştır.

Kämpferisch und engagiert erläutert Sumejja Dizdarevic, was von wem aus Sicht von Fridays for Future passieren muss – und zwar jetzt.
Trauma im Film – eine psychoanalytische Differenzierung
Authors: Hamburger Andreas
Published: December 2023

In Abgrenzung von der oft vertretenen Annahme einer grundsätzlichen Nicht-Darstellbarkeit des Traumas präsentiert der Beitrag einen filmpsychoanalytischen Zugang zur direkten und indirekten Thematisierung des sozialen Traumas im Film. Grundlagen der Traumatheorie und der Filmpsychoanalyse werden eingeführt und drei Formen der Traumadarstellung unterschieden: (1) Zeugenschaft, (2) Reflexion und (3) – fraglich – Versöhnung. In allen drei Registern besteht eine inhärente Spannung zwischen den Polen der Anerkennung und der Verleugnung.
Kreativität und Schuld als Wurzeln der Kultur
Authors: Hirsch Mathias
Published: December 2023

Aus der Perspektive der Psychoanalyse liegt die Funktion menschlicher Kultur zum einen in der Kontrolle der antisozialen Tendenzen des Menschen. Auf der anderen Seite sieht sie die Kultur in einem engen Verhältnis zum Spiel und zur Kreativität, mit denen der Mensch versucht, Ängste und Ohnmachtsgefühle zu beherrschen. Mathias Hirsch spürt vor diesem Hintergrund dem Verhältnis von Kultur und Psychoanalyse nach: Mit Blick auf Mythologie und Literatur beleuchtet er etwa die Auseinandersetzung mit der Endlichkeit bei Thomas Mann, das Ringen um Schuld und Schuldgefühle in Fjodor Dostojewskijs Romanen oder Formen des Vampirismus. Ein weiterer Fokus liegt auf filmtheoretischen Überlegungen, die die Fragen aufwerfen, welche Wirkung und Funktion der Musik in Filmen zukommt, wie pathologische Trauer inszeniert wird bzw. welche Dimensionen der Deutung im Motiv des Hauses zum Tragen kommen.
