Within the context of sociological criticism theory, a literary work from the 17th century; Nefhatü’l-Ezhâr
Authors: Kuzubas Muhammet
Published: September 2020

Spanning over a period of six centuries from the 13th century till the 19th century, Classical Turkish Literature takes up a reputed position in Oriental Literature. In the earliest centuries, classical Turkish literature was heavily influenced by Arabic and Persian Literature; however upon completing its foundation, it started to embrace a domestic and national character as of 16th century. With the advent of 16th century, particularly in masnavis as used to narrate lengthy stories, a different path was taken from other Oriental literatures in regards to characters and settings in stories. Stories, then, began to evolve within the borders of Ottoman territory and a wider place was reserved to take notice of witnessed problems. In some of these masnavis it is feasible to come across social reflections on the specific period and certain expressions that would most probably not approved at an age this work was compiled. In that sense one of the salient examples is Nefhatü’l-Ezhâr masnavi written by 17th - century poet Nev’i-zâde Atâyî. In Nefhatü’l-Ezhâr it is detected that defects that the poet witnesses in his society are narrated to his readers in short stories that develop within a plot. In such stories, Atâyî criticizes the kind of people exploiting religion for personal gains and those simple men licking powerful men's shoes for self-interest. In relation to social criticism stealing and injustice of rulers are highlighted-issues by the poet. Further to that, by narrating obscene stories, the poet attempts to unveil a form of corruption that has eroded moral fiber of community. In order to better grasp a literary text and locate the author's messages aimed for the reader, there is need to approach a work from a wide range of perspectives. In our research,  stories that are considered to reflect traces from society in the said work of Nev’i-zâde Atâyî will be elaborated within the context of sociological criticism.

Authors: Santarossa Sara , Coyne Paige , Greenham Craig , Milne Marcia , Woodruff Sarah
Published: September 2020

This study used Instagram to explore the 2016 ESPN: The Magazine’s Body Issue, with a particular focus on the women athletes featured. A two-prong content analysis was utilized for this study. Photo analysis of “ESPN’s Body Issue photos” (i.e., released on ESPN’s website; N = 141) and “ESPN’s Body Issue photos posted on athlete’s Instagram” (i.e., ESPN photos posted on the athletes’ Instagram account; N = 16) was conducted. Most of “ESPN’s Body Issue photos” were “getting pretty” shots, whereas, the majority of “ESPN’s Body Issue photos posted on athlete’s Instagram” were “athletic action” or “active in sport.” Audience reactions from women to Body Issue photos posted on the women athletes’ Instagram accounts were explored through examining ~3,000 comments, and results suggest that women athletes can and do play a role in how other women socially construct themselves. Overall, findings contribute to understanding women athletes in the media.
Smart Water Tank Monitoring and Booking Using IoT Framework
Authors: Al Wadhahi Esraa Khalfan Mubarak , Ahmed Syed Ateeq
Published: September 2020

Water is at the heart of sustainable development, which is essential for economic and social development, productive energy for ecological safety and human survival. Water is also a human right. As the world's population increases, the need for a balance between all commercial water resource requirements is needed to allow communities to get enough water. At present, conventional water tanks can neither monitor nor control the water level in tank, leading to large amount of water waste. Also some families often face problems to examine the availability of water in water tanks, including the lack of water supplies in the area because of separation of water supply from the government in new and undeveloped areas. The residents of under developed areas must find a person to fill the tank with water as and when the water is finished. The need of removal of these problems and providing an efficient and economical solution has been the main focus of this research paper. The research paper provides a framework for design and propose a framework of a smart water tank which can be monitored as well as controlled with android application. By using this application (the smart water tank), people can easily place an order using the smart application which notifies the water supplier to refill the water preventing shortage of water.
Photochemical environment over Southeast Asia primed for hazardous ozone levels with influx of nitrogen oxides from seasonal biomass burning

Published: September 2020

Abstract. Mainland and maritime Southeast Asia are home to more than 655 million people, representing nearly 10 % of the global population. The dry season in this region is typically associated with intense biomass burning activity, which leads to a significant increase in surface air pollutants that are harmful to human health, including ozone (O3). Latitude-based differences in dry season and land use distinguish two regional biomass burning regimes: (1) burning on the peninsular mainland peaking in March and (2) burning across Indonesia peaking in September. The type and amount of material burned in each regime impacts the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which combine to produce ozone. Here, we use the nested GEOS-Chem atmospheric chemistry transport model (horizontal resolution of 0.25° × 0.3125°), in combination with satellite observations from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and ground-based observations from Malaysia, to investigate ozone photochemistry over Southeast Asia in 2014. Seasonal cycles of tropospheric ozone columns from OMI and GEOS-Chem peak with biomass burning emissions. Compared to OMI, the model has a mean annual bias of −11 % but tends to overestimate tropospheric ozone near areas of seasonal fire activity. We find that outside of these burning areas, the underlying photochemical environment is generally NOx-limited, dominated by anthropogenic NOx and biogenic non-methane VOC emissions. Pyrogenic emissions of NOx play a key role in photochemistry, shifting towards more VOC-limited ozone production and contributing about 30 % of the regional ozone formation potential during both biomass burning seasons. Using the GEOS-Chem model, we find that biomass burning activity coincides with widespread ozone exposure at levels that exceed world public health guidelines, resulting in 272 premature deaths on mainland Southeast Asia in March of 2014 and another 273 deaths across Indonesia in September. Despite a positive model bias, hazardous ozone levels are confirmed by surface observations during both burning seasons.
Induced currents due to 3D ground conductivity play a major role in the interpretation of geomagnetic variations
Authors: Juusola Liisa , Vanhamäki Heikki , Viljanen Ari , Smirnov Maxim
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are directly described by ground electric fields, but estimating them is time-consuming and requires knowledge of the ionospheric currents and the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of the electrical conductivity of the Earth. The time derivative of the horizontal component of the ground magnetic field (dH∕dt) is closely related to the electric field via Faraday's law and provides a convenient proxy for the GIC risk. However, forecasting dH∕dt still remains a challenge. We use 25 years of 10 s data from the northern European International Monitor for Auroral Geomagnetic Effects (IMAGE) magnetometer network to show that part of this problem stems from the fact that, instead of the primary ionospheric currents, the measured dH∕dt is dominated by the signature from the secondary induced telluric currents at nearly all IMAGE stations. The largest effects due to telluric currents occur at coastal sites close to high-conducting ocean water and close to near-surface conductivity anomalies. The secondary magnetic field contribution to the total field is a few tens of percent, in accordance with earlier studies. Our results have been derived using IMAGE data and are thus only valid for the stations involved. However, it is likely that the main principle also applies to other areas. Consequently, it is recommended that the field separation into internal (telluric) and external (ionospheric and magnetospheric) parts is performed whenever feasible (i.e., a dense observation network is available).
ML-SWAN-v1: a hybrid machine learning framework for the concentration prediction and discovery of transport pathways of surface water nutrients
Authors: Wang Benya , Hipsey Matthew R. , Oldham Carolyn
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Nutrient data from catchments discharging to receiving waters are monitored for catchment
management. However, nutrient data are often sparse in time and space and have non-linear
responses to environmental factors, making it difficult to systematically analyse long- and
short-term trends and undertake nutrient budgets. To address these challenges, we developed a
hybrid machine learning (ML) framework that first separated baseflow and quickflow from total
flow, generated data for missing nutrient species, and then utilised the pre-generated nutrient
data as additional variables in a final simulation of tributary water quality. Hybrid random
forest (RF) and gradient boosting machine (GBM) models were employed and their performance
compared with a linear model, a multivariate weighted regression model, and stand-alone RF and GBM
models that did not pre-generate nutrient data. The six models were used to predict six different
nutrients discharged from two study sites in Western Australia: Ellen Brook (small and ephemeral)
and the Murray River (large and perennial). Our results showed that the hybrid RF and GBM models
had significantly higher accuracy and lower prediction uncertainty for almost all nutrient species
across the two sites. The pre-generated nutrient and hydrological data were highlighted as the
most important components of the hybrid model. The model results also indicated different
hydrological transport pathways for total nitrogen (TN) export from two tributary catchments. We demonstrated that
the hybrid model provides a flexible method to combine data of varied resolution and quality and
is accurate for the prediction of responses of surface water nutrient concentrations to hydrologic
variability.

Published: September 2020

Abstract. In this study, we examine the effectiveness of incorporating citizen science snow depth measurements into the seasonal snow model chain through data assimilation. We also introduce the Community Snow Observations dataset, a citizen science based snow depth measuring campaign. Improvements to model performance are characterized and evaluated using remote sensing datasets, fieldwork, and SNOTEL datasets. After citizen science snow depth measurements were incorporated, improvements to model performance were found in 62 % to 78 % of the simulations, depending on model year. The results suggest that modest measurements from citizen scientists have the potential to improve efforts to model snowpack processes in high mountain environments, with implications for water resource management and process-based snow modeling.
Assimilation of probabilistic flood maps from SAR data into ahydrologic-hydraulic forecasting model: a proof of concept
Authors: Di Mauro Concetta , Hostache Renaud , Matgen Patrick , Pelich Ramona , Chini Marco , van Leeuwen Peter Jan , Nichols Nancy , Blöschl Günter
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Coupled hydrologic and hydraulic models represent powerful tools for simulating streamflow and water levels along the riverbed and in the floodplain. However, input data, model parameters, initial conditions and model structure represent sources of uncertainty that affect the reliability and accuracy of flood forecasts. Assimilation of satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar observations into a flood forecasting model are generally used to reduce such uncertainties. In this context, we evaluate how sequential assimilation of flood extent derived from synthetic aperture radar data can help in improving flood forecasts. In particular, we carried out twin experiments based on a synthetically generated data-set with controlled uncertainty. To this end, two assimilation methods are explored and compared: the Sequential Importance Sampling (standard method) and its enhanced method where a tempering coefficient is used to inflate the posterior probability (adapted method) and to reduce degeneracy. The experimental results show that the assimilation of SAR probabilistic flood maps significantly improves the predictions of streamflow and water elevation, thereby confirming the effectiveness of the data assimilation framework. In addition, the assimilation method significantly reduces the spatially averaged root mean square error of water levels with respect to the case without assimilation. The critical success index of predicted flood extent maps is significantly increased by the assimilation. While the standard method proves to be more accurate in estimating the water levels and streamflow at the assimilation time step, the adapted method enables a more persistent improvement of the forecasts. However, although the use of a tempering coefficient reduces the degeneracy problem, the accuracy of model simulation is lower at the assimilation time step.

Authors: Maguire Mary Beth R. , White Anne , Brannan Jane D. , Brown Austin R.
Published: September 2020

Background: Prelicensure nursing students possess minimal knowledge and skill to implement sepsis protocols effectively. This article evaluates an educational project to assess the impact of a repeat septic shock simulation on pre-licensure nursing students' knowledge and skill competency. Methods: A quasi-experimental, repeated measures, pre-post design strategy was used to evaluate a repeat septic shock simulation. A convenience sample of one-hundred-forty-three (N = 143) senior baccalaureate nursing students enrolled in the study. The project consisted of a septic shock didactic session, septic shock simulation with a high-fidelity mannequin, debrief, repeat simulation followed by a second debrief as a component of a complex health nursing course. Ninety-seven (n = 97) participants were randomly assigned to groups of up to five students to participate in a repeat septic shock simulation. Forty-six (n = 46) participants were randomly assigned to up to five students and served as a control group. The control group participated in all study elements except the repeat simulation.Results: The percent change in nursing students’ knowledge scores from Pre-simulation to Post-simulation was statistically significant (p < .001). The initial and repeat simulation realized modest gains in competency scores between the initial and repeated simulation.Conclusions: Providing concurrent experiences using a screening tool in real-time while simultaneously providing an opportunity to practice and refine clinical judgment through a repeat simulation proved effective.

Published: September 2020

Bladder cancer research has historically lagged behind efforts in other disease sites with substantial underfunding relative to the heavy morbidity and mortality suffered by patients. Alongside increasing advocacy however, more recent advances in our understanding of the molecular biology of bladder cancer has ushered in a period of renaissance with exciting prospects for novel, precise diagnostics and therapeutics. Given significant and diverse assets within the research community across Canada, an inaugural translational research forum was convened to identify research gaps and strengths, and to formalize investigational themes that would be apposite for multi-institutional collaboration. The virtual meeting brought together a multi-disciplinary network of genitourinary cancer researchers, including clinicians and basic scientists, and entailed detailed environmental scans of the Canadian clinical and translational research landscape as well as selected “elevator pitches” of potential research themes. The results of these discussions are detailed herein and have provided the impetus to formalize the Canadian Bladder Cancer Research Network (CBCRN). Working groups have been created to focus future multi-institutional collaborations in four inter-related initiatives: biomarker development, epigenetic targeting, immuno-oncology and the microbiome.
Assessment of Training Effectiveness Adjusted for Learning (ATEAL) Part I: Method Development and Validation
Authors: Samuel Thomas , Azen Razia , Campbell-Kyureghyan Naira
Published: September 2020

Training programs are a popular method, in industry globally, to increase awareness of desired concepts to employees and employers and play a critical part in changing or supporting performance improvements. The predominant method to assess the effectiveness of training programs is to have the participants answer Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) and True/False (T/F) questions after the training; however, the metrics typically used to report the outcome of such assessments have drawbacks that make it difficult for the trainer and organization to easily identify the concepts that need more focus and those that do not. This study introduces measures of the Assessment of Training Effectiveness Adjusted for Learning (ATEAL) method, which compensate the assessment scores for prior knowledge and negative training impact in quantifying the effectiveness of each concept taught. The results of this method are compared to the results of the most popular methods currently used. A simulation of various scenarios and the training effectiveness metrics that result from them is used to illustrate the sensitivity and limitation of each method. Results show that the proposed coefficients are more sensitive in detecting prior knowledge and negative training impact. Additionally, the proposed ATEAL method provides a quick and easy way to assess the effectiveness of the training concept based on the assessment results and provides a directional guide on the changes that need to be made to improve the training program for the participants. A companion paper expands the concepts using results from actual training sessions in multiple industries.

Published: September 2020

Os estudos de lógica de programação são essenciais para aqueles que desejam ingressar na área de informática, sendo ele responsável pelo entendimento de qualquer linguagem de programação. Contudo, cerca de 60% das retenções no curso de informática estão relacionadas a essa disciplina. Tendo em vista os índices de retenções citados, o projeto de pesquisa denominado Uso de Técnicas de Gamificação como Auxílio ao Ensino e Aprendizagem de Lógica de Programação desenvolveu um ambiente intitulado TriLogic. O mesmo conta com diversas atividades lúdicas, visando à compreensão de conceitos básicos da disciplina. O projeto obteve uma aprovação de 90,9% dos alunos que o utilizaram, bem como um aumento do rendimento na disciplina. No entanto, o ambiente gamificado acabava não abrangendo uma parcela dos estudantes, alunos não ouvintes, os quais, infelizmente, não eram capazes de usufruir do ambiente TriLogic devido a sua condição auditiva. Diante das melhorias proporcionadas pelo projeto, pensou- se em uma ampliação com o intuito de tornar o ambiente acessível a alunos não ouvintes, sendo desenvolvida a partir da utilização da Suíte Vlibras, responsável por realizar a tradução dos textos didáticos presentes no TriLogic com o auxílio de um intérprete 3D. O sistema passou por uma etapa de teste para que após a validação, o mesmo pudesse ser entregue ao usuário final.

O Desafio da Coleta foi criado de forma colaborativa por alunos de licenciatura em pedagogia e aborda problemas matemáticos envolvendo as quatro operações básicas através de uma narrativa que trata da coleta seletiva do lixo. Para elaboração do software os alunos utilizaram uma engine de desenvolvimento de jogos e ferramentas do Google Drive.
Im Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Kooperation und Korruption im Gesundheitswesen
Authors: Tetzlaff Sebastian
Published: September 2020

Die §§ 299a, 299b StGB sind das Ergebnis eines legitimen gesetzgeberischen Anliegens, die Umsetzung erfolgte indes defizitär.

Der Rechtsgüterschutz ist nicht konsistent, was zu dessen Weiterentwicklung zwingt.

Die unkritische Übernahme der Auslegungsergebnisse zu § 299 StGB – obwohl vom Gesetzgeber intendiert – ist darüber hinaus oftmals verfehlt. Die Arbeit hinterfragt diesen Ansatz und zeigt Lösungen auf.

Um existente Strafbarkeitslücken zu schließen ist es ferner unerlässlich eine verfassungskonforme „Pflichtverletzungsvariante“ einzuführen. Ferner böte eine Clearingstelle Rechtssicherheit, insbesondere mit der Möglichkeit zur Genehmigung von Austauschverhältnissen im Gesundheitswesen. Hierzu werden Vorschläge gemacht.
Moravský kras a okolí / Moravian Karst and its Environs
Authors: Balák Ivan , Hofmann Eduard , Svobodová Hana , Durna Radek , Kolejka Jaromír
Published: September 2020

The atlas The Moravian Karst and its Environs includes an area which is used for outdoor activities by a number of schools not only from the Czech Republic, of all types and grades. The needs of fieldwork in the frame of teacher education at PdF MU were taken into consideration. The mission of the Atlas is to raise the desire to learn something new about processes which shaped and still shape the landscape of the Moravian Karst and its environs. The Atlas itself is composed of two parts. The first part is formed of thematically oriented maps with a scale of 1 : 160,000 and 1 : 400,000. It contains an overall overview of the chosen area and a description of its basic natural and cultural characteristics. The second part comprises detailed maps with a 1 : 20,000 scale which contain a huge amount of additional information. Its main goal is to support its users in their exploration of areas they choose from maps and thus help them to explore points of interest which are depicted by cartographic symbols.
“Una Vida Digna de Ser Llamada Humana”
Authors: Larrère Catherine ,   Center for Environmental Philosophy, The University of North Texas

“Actúa de manera tal que los efectos de tu acción sean compatibles con la permanencia de la vida humana genuina en la Tierra”. ¿Cómo podemos entender esta máxima de Jonas? ¿Es demasiado antropocéntrica como para ser interesante para la ética ambiental? ¿Está demasiado limitada a la supervivencia como para tener un significado moral en una ética verdaderamente humana? En primer lugar, podríamos argumentar que no es tan anti-kantiana como para desafiar el “presentismo” actual imperante y nos obliga a tener en cuenta no solo las generaciones futuras, sino también el contexto en el que anticipamos que estas futuras generaciones vivirán. Por lo tanto, deberíamos distinguir dos interpretaciones diferentes de la máxima de Jonas. En una primera etapa, la del desarrollo sostenible, se entendió que considera no solo las necesidades sino también los derechos de las generaciones futuras. En una segunda etapa, la de un Antropoceno y una transición ecológica, significa que dar sentido a la humanidad implica conectar a los seres humanos con la Tierra y otros seres vivos en lugar de oponerse a ellos.

Published: September 2020

Career and Technical Education (or CTE) classes are a great way to learn skills for a future career. CTE is the practice of teaching career skills to students. By taking a concentration of CTE courses, high school students can graduate with special certifications that make them eligible to work in certain jobs. These certifications can help high school graduates get a head start in college or career. This tip sheet provides high school students with information about what CTE classes are, how to choose a CTE focus for classes and how to request any accommodations that may be needed.
Managing accounting control in accounts receivable of the service industry companies
Authors: Gudkov Aleksandr Aleksandrovich , Butrim Elena Aleksandrovna
Published: September 2020

The subject of this research is the issues associated with management of accounting control in accounts receivable of the service industry companies for ensuring sustainability of financial position and efficiency of a business. The relevance of this topic is justified by the fact that due to the specificity of the work of service industry companies, the predominant type of transaction is payments from customers for services rendered. Attention is therefore given to the structurization of adequate accounting control system for payments. The novelty of this research consists in systematization of the key accounting aspects of managing payments from customers, substantiation of the need for structurization of the system of internal payment control for the purpose of uninterrupted payment monitoring and timely debt repayment. An important role is also played by the practical examination of the questions of accounting and control of customer payments based on the case of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise “Surazh Regional Water Services Company””, which will allow ensuring proper organization of the system of managing accounts receivable in the service industry companies.
The Manifesto for Teaching Online

An update to a provocative manifesto intended to serve as a platform for debate and as a resource and inspiration for those teaching in online environments.

In 2011, a group of scholars associated with the Centre for Research in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh released “The Manifesto for Teaching Online,” a series of provocative statements intended to articulate their pedagogical philosophy. In the original manifesto and a 2016 update, the authors counter both the “impoverished” vision of education being advanced by corporate and governmental edtech and higher education's traditional view of online students and teachers as second-class citizens. The two versions of the manifesto were much discussed, shared, and debated. In this book, Siân Bayne, Peter Evans, Rory Ewins, Jeremy Knox, James Lamb, Hamish Macleod, Clara O'Shea, Jen Ross, Philippa Sheail and Christine Sinclair have expanded the text of the 2016 manifesto, revealing the sources and larger arguments behind the abbreviated provocations.

The book groups the twenty-one statements (“Openness is neither neutral nor natural: it creates and depends on closures”; “Don't succumb to campus envy: we are the campus”) into five thematic sections examining place and identity, politics and instrumentality, the primacy of text and the ethics of remixing, the way algorithms and analytics “recode” educational intent, and how surveillance culture can be resisted. Much like the original manifestos, this book is intended as a platform for debate, as a resource and inspiration for those teaching in online environments, and as a challenge to the techno-instrumentalism of current edtech approaches. In a teaching environment shaped by COVID-19, individuals and institutions will need to do some bold thinking in relation to resilience, access, teaching quality, and inclusion.
AI in the Wild
Authors: Dauvergne Peter
Published: September 2020

Examining the potential benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence to advance global sustainability.

Drones with night vision are tracking elephant and rhino poachers in African wildlife parks and sanctuaries; smart submersibles are saving coral from carnivorous starfish on Australia's Great Barrier Reef; recycled cell phones alert Brazilian forest rangers to the sound of illegal logging. The tools of artificial intelligence are being increasingly deployed in the battle for global sustainability. And yet, warns Peter Dauvergne, we should be cautious in declaring AI the planet's savior. In AI in the Wild, Dauvergne avoids the AI industry-powered hype and offers a critical view, exploring both the potential benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence to advance global sustainability.

Dauvergne finds that corporations and states often use AI in ways that are antithetical to sustainability. The competition to profit from AI is entrenching technocratic management, revving up resource extraction, and turbocharging consumption, as consumers buy new smart devices (and discard their old, less-smart ones). Smart technology is helping farmers grow crops more efficiently, but also empowering the agrifood industry. Moreover, states are weaponizing AI to control citizens, suppress dissent, and aim cyberattacks at rival states.

Is there a way to harness the power of AI for environmental and social good? Dauvergne argues for precaution and humility as guiding principles in the deployment of AI.
Aggregation kinetics of binary systems containing kaolinite and Pseudomonas putida induced by different 1:1 electrolytes: specific ion effects
Authors: Yu Zhaoxuan , Tian Rui , Liu Dian , Zhang Yekun , Li Hang
Published: September 2020

Background

The interactions between colloidal particles in the binary systems or mixture colloids containing clay minerals and bacteria have important influences on formations and stabilities of soil aggregates, transportations of soil water, as well as biological activities of microorganisms. How the interfacial reaction of metal ions affects their interaction therefore becomes an important scientific issue.

Methods

Dynamic light scattering studies on the aggregation kinetics of mixture colloids containing kaolinite and Pseudomonas putida (P. putida) were conducted in this study.

Results

Aggregation could be observed between kaolinite and kaolinite, between kaolinite and P. putida when P. putida content was less than 33.3%. Additionally, aggregation rates decreased with increasing P. putida content. The critical coagulation concentrations and activation energies indicated that there were strong specific ion effects on the aggregation of mixture colloids. Most importantly, the activation energy increased sharply with increasing P. putida content, which might result from the lower Hamaker constant of P. putida compared with that of kaolinite.

Contributions

(1) Strong specific ion effects on mixture colloids aggregation of kaolinite-P. putida were observed; (2) the aggregation behavior of mixture colloids was determined by the average effects of mixture colloids, rather than the specific component. This finding provides an important methodological guide for further studies on the colloidal aggregation behavior of mixture systems with organic and inorganic materials.
