Water in natural gas can result in various operational problems, which may lead to equipment failure and plant shutdown. Knowing the amount of water capable of condensing from natural gas is essential. Many methods have been developed for ascertaining the amount of this condensable water (water content) from many gas mixtures. However, when hydrates are present, available methods for estimating the amount of condensable water are scarce and very limited in the open literature. The reliability of the data has always been a cause for concern due to the tendency for the inaccuracy of the results. In this study, two semi-empirical methods for ascertaining the amount of condensable water in natural gas with and without hydrates were used to test the reliability of the water content data of four different published natural gas-hydrate systems, including methane and propane gas mixture, raw/unprocessed, binary (methane + water), and synthetic natural gas. The results showed that only the data set for the methane and propane gas mixture was a reliable gas-hydrate equilibrium system, while the synthetic gas mixture needed further validation. Therefore, the methodology in this study can be used as a quick and simple means for ascertaining the reliability of water content data of natural gas-hydrate systems.

This study aims to investigate the use of various deep learning techniques to predict future residential natural gas consumption in Italy, with a particular emphasis on the correlation between gas consumption and temperature. Four models were evaluated, including Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Simple Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), and Stack-LSTM, with the latter chosen due to its two-layer LSTM and potential to improve forecasting accuracy. Feature scaling was conducted with the MinMaxScaler method to ensure uniform values among variables. Statistical analysis was performed using Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and R-squared accuracy metrics, with ANOVA tests and boxplots, used to visualize the distribution of accuracy metrics across test and full datasets. Results implied that the CNN and Stack-LSTM models were more effective in accurately predicting the target variable compared to the other models, as indicated by MSE and R-squared scores, as well as graphical comparisons of actual and predicted values. Finally, the research recommends the utilization of supplementary features in future research to increase the precision of forecasts.

Abstract. Ozone is a potent air pollutant in the lower troposphere and an important short-lived climate forcer (SLCF) in the upper troposphere. Studies using satellite data to investigate spatiotemporal variability of troposphere ozone (TO3) have predominantly focussed on the tropospheric column metric. This is the first study to investigate long-term spatiotemporal variability in lower tropospheric column ozone (LTCO3, surface-450 hPa sub-column) by merging multiple European Space Agency – Climate Change Initiative (ESA-CCI) products produced by the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) Space. We find that in the LTCO3, the degrees of freedom of signal (DOFS) from these products varies with latitude range and season and is up to 0.65, indicating that the retrievals contain useful information on lower TO3. The spatial and seasonal variation of the RAL Space products are in good agreement with each other but there are systematic offsets of up to 3.0–5.0 DU between them. Comparison with ozonesondes shows that the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME-1, 1996–2003), the SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CartograpHY (SCIAMACHY, 2003–2010) and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI, 2005–2017) have stable LTCO3 records over their respective periods, which can be merged together. While GOME-2 (2008–2018) shows substantial drift in its bias with respect to ozonesondes. We have therefore constructed a robust merged dataset of LTCO3 from GOME-1, SCIAMACHY and OMI between 1996 and 2017. Comparing the LTCO3 differences between the 1996–2000 and 2013–2017 5-year averages, we find significant positive increases (3.0–5.0 DU) in the tropics/sub-tropics, while in the northern mid-latitudes, we find small scale differences in LTCO3. Therefore, we conclude that there has been a substantial increase in tropical/sub-tropical LTCO3 during the satellite-era.

Abstract. The aerosol optical depth (AOD) is a derived measurement useful to investigate the aerosol load and its distribution at different spatio–temporal scales. In this work we use long–term (2000–2021) MAIAC (Multi–Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction) retrievals with 1 km resolution to investigate the climatological AOD variability and trends at different scales in Europe: a continental (30–60° N; 20° W–40° E), a regional (100x100 km2) and an urban local scale (3x3 km2). The AOD climatology at the continental scale shows the highest values during summer (JJA) and the lowest during winter (DJF) seasons. Regional and urban local scales are investigated for twenty–one cities in Europe including capitals and large urban agglomerations. Analyses show AOD average (550 nm) values between 0.06 and 0.16 at the urban local scale, while also displaying a strong north–south gradient. This gradient corresponds to a similar one in the European background, with higher AOD being located over the Po–Valley, the Mediterranean basin, and Eastern Europe. Average enhancements of the local with respect to regional AOD of 57 %, 55 %, 39 % and 32 % are found for large metropolitan centers such as Barcelona, Lisbon, Paris and Athens respectively, suggesting a non–negligible enhancement to the aerosol burden through local emissions. Negative average deviations are observed for other cities, such as Amsterdam (–17 %) and Brussels (–6 %) indicating higher regional background signal and suggesting a heterogeneous aerosol spatial distribution that conceals the urban local signal. Finally, negative statistically significant AOD trends for the entire European continent are observed. A stronger decrease rate at the regional scale with respect to the local scale one occurs for most of the cities under investigation.
Wind wave and water level dataset for Hornsund, Svalbard (2013–2021)
Authors: Swirad Zuzanna M. , Moskalik Mateusz , Herman Agnieszka
Published: June 2023

Abstract. Underwater pressure sensors were deployed near-continuously at various locations of the nearshore (8–23 m depth) Hornsund fjord, Svalbard,
between July 2013 and February 2021. Raw pressure measurements at 1 Hz were used to derive mean water levels, wave spectra and bulk wave
parameters for 1024 s bursts at hourly intervals. The procedure included subtracting atmospheric pressure, depth calculation, fast Fourier
transform, correction for the decrease of the wave orbital motion with depth and adding a high-frequency tail. The dataset adds to the sparse in
situ measurements of wind waves and water levels in the Arctic, and it can be used, for example, for analysing seasonal wind wave conditions and inter-annual
trends and calibrating/validating wave models.
The dataset is stored in the PANGAEA repository (https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.954020; Swirad et al., 2023).
Mediation in Japan
Authors: Takatori Yoshihiro , Claxton James
Published: June 2023

The preference for amicable dispute resolution is deeply rooted in Japanese culture, and there is a long history in Japan of using mediation to manage conflicts. Mediation was used to resolve disputes between merchants and samurai warriors in the 17th century and to resolve claims between private actors and utility companies arising from the Fukushima nuclear disaster in the more recent past. While court mediation is common in contemporary Japan, private mediation is comparatively rare despite legislative changes in 2007 meant to promote growth. Mediation in Japan tends to be evaluative, and private sessions with parties are common. These standards derive, in part, from procedures used in court mediation. However, norms are being revisited in the case of commercial disputes. In 2018, the Japan International Mediation Center opened in Kyoto, prompting greater attention to alternative models of mediation and international commercial mediation standards. Meanwhile, recent international mediation trainings and events have paid more attention to aspects of mediation that are uncommon in court mediation in Japan including joint sessions and non-evaluative facilitation. A recent high-profile international commercial mediation highlighted the potential of co-mediation to manage linguistic and cultural differences. These movements have not resulted in a sea change in mediation culture, but they may in time lead to greater diversification of procedures and perceptions about mediation.

Underachievement in der Grundschule – eine Folge der Klassenzusammensetzung?
Authors: Wagner Gundula
Published: June 2023

International research is currently paying increased attention to the learning environment in the context of underachievement among gifted students. Based on this, we will investigate which combination of classroom context on the one hand and individual characteristics on the other hand is most likely to explain underachievement in mathematics. The present study is an in-depth analysis of an existing sample of above-average intelligent primary school students. Despite the lack of significant results in the present study, both theoretical and pedagogic practical considerations suggest that this current research approach should be pursued further.

Moral conflict situations in nursing and social care often represent a high stress potential for professionals. The promotion of ethical competence to deal with these conflict situations is therefore considered an important goal in vocational education and training. Therefore, the question of how ethical competence can be promoted is investigated. For this purpose, the teaching concept VaKE (Values and Knowledge Education) is used for the first time in an intervention study in a vocational school for nursing and social care (N = 41). Initial results show that VaKE promotes in-depth reflection on moral decisions and is attributed with positive learning emotions.

The essay studies the Italian fan page dedicated to the TV series The Handmade’s Tale, analyzing female users’ dynamics of usage. Female viewers’ interpretations have been retraced through a netnographic analysis, which has had as an object the online community’s conversations. In this public fan page users show at the same time sense of identification and conflictual spirit. Two emotional levels in online interactions are identified: the community is profoundly compact when the events refer to the fictional story; it then transforms into a space of conflict when it goes to the impact on reality of the metaphors arising from a political interpretation.

Ability to Reflect as the Basis of the Professional Development of a Teacher
Authors: Nikula Natalia
Published: June 2023

In the article, the author analyzed the pedagogical views of classical teachers, modern scientists and normative documents of Ukrainian education. In which the problem of developing the teacher's ability to reflect is relevant. An interdisciplinary study of the problem was carried out, which is investigated from the standpoint of philosophy, psychology, and pedagogy. An analysis of the concept’s "reflection", "ability to reflect" was carried out. It was found that the ability to reflect is the ability to carry out self-analysis and self-evaluation in the process of professional activity, the ability to determine the ways of self-development, the ability to predict prospects and the ability to regulate professional activity.

The structural components of a teacher's reflection are: the teacher's ability to analyze and introspect his own professional activity; the teacher's ability to self-assess the results of pedagogical activity; ability to self-knowledge; readiness of the teacher for self-education, self-development.

In order to identify the level of teachers' ability to reflect, we conducted a survey. For its effective implementation, a diagnostic toolkit was developed, which includes: criteria, indicators, levels (low, average, sufficient and high) and selected methods: "Diagnostics of teacher reflection", "Teacher's ability to self-develop". The participants of the experiment were primary school teachers. The sample consisted of 107 people, including 48 with up to 5 years of teaching experience, and 59 teachers with more than 5 years of teaching experience. The analysis of the obtained data proved that the level of teachers' ability to reflect is high and sufficient. But the results indicate the presence of teachers with a low and average level of this phenomenon. To improve the level of teachers' ability to reflect, the author suggests improving the system of teacher education. To supplement the content, forms, and methods that will contribute to the development of teachers' reflection.

The conclusions summarize that a teacher's ability to reflect is an important professional and personal education. It consists in the ability to analyze one's own professional activity, the ability to self-develop. Prospects for further research are outlined: development of a system for the development of pedagogical reflection and experimental verification of its effectiveness.
Reflection as a Component of Formative Assessment of Younger School Students in Modern Primary School
Authors: Predyk Alina
Published: June 2023

The article characterizes the essence of the concepts «control and evaluation activity», «reflection», defines the place and role of reflection as an important component of formative assessment.

In the conditions of educational reforms in Ukraine today, the issue of improving and increasing the efficiency of the educational process of junior high school students is particularly acute, which is why it is determined that the issues of assessment and reflection require study and analysis.

The purpose of the article is to carry out a theoretical analysis of the concept of reflection in the educational activity of a junior high school student, to clarify the role of reflection in formative assessment.

The study of the scientific works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists and practicing teachers made it possible to determine the peculiarities of the use of reflection in the formative assessment of educational achievements of younger schoolchildren.

The article demonstrates that reflection can be a useful tool for elementary school students, after which it can help them better understand their actions and achievements, and develop the ability to analyze their own learning and growth. Here are some ways that can help elementary school students incorporate reflection into their learning: portfolios, islands, palms, analyze difficulties.

Reflection can help students develop their ability to work independently and grow, understand their goals and focus on achieving them, and improve the quality of their learning. It is important to provide students with appropriate support and mentoring so that they can successfully incorporate reflection into their learning.
Selection of precursors of safe silica-based fireproof coatings for textile materials

Published: June 2023

The selection of the inorganic precursor SiO2 as the main component of the simplified safe technology for obtaining flame-retardant coatings on textile materials was carried out. By thermo-graphic research of organic and inorganic SiO2 precursors, performed on an OD-102 deri-vatograph under conditions of heating at a rate of 10ºС/min in an air environment, the processes of decomposition of the coating that occur during the action of fire were investigated. Gels based on inorganic precursors produced by industry (silica sol, silica gel) and silicic acid, which was obtained by the exchange reaction of an aqueous solution of sodium silicate of liquid glass and acetic acid, were studied for the comparative characteristics of thermal destruction of coatings. As organic precursors of SiO2, gels of ethyl silicate-32 and methyltriethoxysilane were studied, which were obtained by hydrolysis of organosilicon compounds in an acidic water-alcohol medi-um with subsequent polycondensation of the hydrolysis products. The effect of temperature on the nature of thermal destruction of silica gel, silica sol, silicic acid and organosilicon gels of ethyl silicate and methylotriethoxysilane was investigated. It is shown that inorganic precursors differ favorably from organosilicon precursors in terms of the overall thermal effect during their de-composition, mass loss during heat treatment, and the rate of change of this parameter. Consider-ing that, in addition to total mass loss, the increase in mass loss during heating is less than 1 % in compositions based on inorganic precursors, it is possible to use all three types of inorganic pre-cursors, but from the point of view of acidity and safety of impregnation compositions, prefer-ence is given to silicic acid obtained by the exchange reaction of silicate sodium liquid glass with acetic acid.

Published: June 2023

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar a relevância do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação a Docência- PIBID na formação dos discentes de Licenciatura em Ciências Sociais, considerando que este programa visa o enriquecimento intelectual e teórico-prático dos mesmos, buscando apresentar de que forma a política de formação de professores se configurou num cenário brasileiro. É fato que o Ministério da Educação, vem adotando uma série de políticas, na busca por qualificar professores do ensino básico. O Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) tem sido uma grande aposta para a formação de professores mais capacitados, iniciando o bolsista do Curso de Licenciatura, no seu futuro campo de atuação, a escola. Além do objetivo acima citado também analisaremos os impactos de tal programa enquanto uma política pública de permanência dos licenciados no Ensino Superior. Para a coleta de dados, foram utilizadas entrevistas com os alunos bolsistas do Subprojeto Sociologia do Centro de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Semiárido CDSA/UFCG. Os resultados desta coleta de dados evidenciaram que o PIBID permite aos licenciados do curso de Ciências Sociais terem um maior contato com o contexto escolar, a participarem de eventos científicos e intercâmbios, possibilitando-lhes uma melhor qualificação docente. Além disso, tal programa propicia ao estudante uma bolsa que lhe permite custear suas despesas materiais e, a se dedicar as atividades da universidade, de forma mais plena. Com efeito, os relatos colhidos apontam que sem esse auxilio financeiro, muitos iriam exercer uma atividade remunerada e, consequentemente, se distanciariam do espaço acadêmico. Assim, o PIBID, tem se relevado como uma política exitosa na formação docente.

A LCMS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of ampicillin and sulbactam in human plasma was described. After protein precipitation using 2mL of acetonitrile, 250µL of supernatant was mixed with 1.000 mL of 0.1% Acetic Acid in Milli-Q-water. 10µL was injected to a Biobasic AX column and eluted with 10mM Ammonium acetate and Acetonitrile: 60:40, v/v at a flow rate of 0.5mL/min. MRM transitions were monitored in negative mode as m/z 348.1 → 206.8 (AMP), 231.9 → 187.8 (SUL) and m/z 353.0 → 211.9 (AMP D5). Sample concentrations were calculated by linear regression analysis using the analyst software1.6.3. An excellent linear response was obtained over the concentration ranges 0.1040µg/mL to 10.1562µg/mL for Ampicillin and 0.0510µg/mL to 6.1552µg/mL for Sulbactam. The intra-day and inter-day precision were within 3.50% for all analytes. The assay accuracy was 96.27 –103.59 %. Mean recoveries were 84.51% and 98.54% for ampicillin and sulbactam, respectively. The limits of detections were 0.026µg/mL and 0.013µg/mL for ampicillin and sulbactam. This method was successfully used for a bioequivalence study.

Nitrosamine impurities in pharmaceutical products have increased attention for safety in the direction of the use of various drugs. Nitrosamines are the class of compounds which represents nitroso group attached to an amine (R1N(-R2)-N=0). Nitrosamines are molecules that have a nitroso group connected to an amine (R1N(-R2)-N=0). Controlling cancer-causing contaminants in pharmaceutical products is critical for predicting and avoiding the carcinogenic risk of medicine in people. According to recent findings, nitrosamine impurities have increased the medicinal product's carcinogenic risk. The literature search was accomplished using PubMed, Google scholar, and the Cochrane library to identify relevant scientific articles using various sensitive techniques and analytical instruments for the detection of nitrosamine impurities from the years 1981 to 2022. The search terms included nitrosamine detection techniques, formation of nitrosamine, HPLC technique for nitrosamine detection, GC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS, GC-MS-Head space, and GC-QTOF technique for nitrosamine detection, LC-MS/MS technique for nitrosamine detection, The literature search included 29 scientific articles from the English lamnguage, including original research and standard guidelines intended to review all the sensitive techniques for detection of nitrosamine impurities in pharmaceutical products. The current review aims to discuss the highly sensitive, cost effective, accurate and precise methods for the detection of various nitrosamine contaminations in the pharmaceutical products.
Investigation of Contact Lens Use and Perception among Hospital Workers: A Survey on Contact Lens Use, Knowledge and Attitude among Hospital Workers
Authors: Che Song-a , Han Sang Beom
Published: June 2023

Purpose: To investigate the patterns of contact lens (CL) use and knowledge and attitude regarding the CL use among worker at a Kangwon National University Hospital.Methods: QA survey regarding the use of CL and CL-related knowledge and attitude were distributed over 2 month period starting in March, 2021 to Kangwon National University Hospital workers who had experience of CL use. The survey included questions regarding age, gender, occupation, type of CL, reason for wearing, period of use, purchase route, CL wearing pattern, complications, causative factors, and regular eye examination. The answer to each question was collected and analyzed.Results: One hundred and twelve participants completed the survey. The mean age was 30.1±5.8 years and the male-to-female ratio was 1:2.6. Soft and cosmetic CLs comprised the majority (95.5%, 107/112). Most respondents (99.1%, 111/112) purchased their CL from an optical store or through internet without prescription. Only 71.4% (80/112) washed their hands when wearing and removing lenses. In many cases, respondents had incorrect knowledge about method of CL and lens case cleaning. Most respondents 99.1% (111/112) experienced complications like foreign body sensation, dry-eye, hyperemia, blurred vision, tearing, of which only 8.0% (9/112) received regular eye examinations.Conclusions: The study finding showed even hospital workers may have incorrect knowledge regarding use of CL. Although most CL user experienced complications regarding CL, only a small proportion of CL users are receiving regular eyeexamination. Education of CL users regarding the CL care and importance of regular eye examinations are therefore warranted.
A Case of Intraocular Pressure Rise with Iridocyclitis after Photorefractive Keratectomy
Authors: Chung Sung Kun
Published: June 2023

Purpose: To report a case of intraocular pressure (IOP) rise with iridocyclitis after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).Case summary: A 29-year-old woman who had bilateral PRK to correct high myopia developed a glaucoma with iridocyclitis on 99th day after operation. After treatment of oral steroid and steroid eyedrops and anti-glaucoma eyedrops for 13 months, IOP was controlled within normal limit but peripheral anterior synechia and dyscoria was developed and remained. We have been observing the iridocyclitis that relapses intermittently with use of steroid eyedrops and checking the IOP regularly.Conclusions: The case reported iridocyclitis after PRK without any medical or ophthalmic history. This seems to be multifactorial including inflammatory response induced by PRK or alterations in blood-aqueous humor barrier, which remains obscure. Close follow up for IOP and iridocyclitis is recommended after PRK.
Allah Tasavvurlarındaki Farklılığın Âyet Yorumlarına Yansıması: Fahreddin er-Râzî ve Zemahşerî Özelinde Bir İnceleme
Authors: KARATAY Yusuf , ABAY Muhammet
Published: June 2023

Her dinin kutsal saydığı metinler, tarih boyunca ona muhatap olanlar tarafından yorumlanmış ve aktarılmıştır. Dinlerin insanlar tarafından anlaşılması, yaşanması ve yaşatılması da yorumlanan kutsal metinler üzerinden gerçekleşmiştir. Bu yorumlama faaliyeti sonucunda da yorumcunun öznelliği, yorumların da öznel olmasına neden olmuştur. Sadece inanç, ibadet ve muamelatla ilgili konular değil, her dinde mutlak otorite ve aşkın varlık yerine konan Tanrı’nın tasavvur edilmesi de bu öznellikten payını almış, Tanrı tasavvurları her dine, mezhebe hatta şahıslara göre farklılaşmıştır. İslam düşünce geleneğinde Allah tasavvurları konusunda da farklı düşünceler mevcuttur. Bu farklılıkların temelinde, insanların Allah hakkındaki algıları, deneyimleri, inançları ve düşünceleri yer almaktadır. Bu makalede söz konusu Allah tasavvurlarındaki farklılıkların âyet yorumlarına yansıması rü’yetullah konusundaki örnek âyetlerle Ebû Abdillâh (Ebü’l-Fazl) Fahrüddîn Muhammed b. Ömer b. Hüseyn er-Râzî et-Taberistânî (ö. 606/1210) ve Ebü’l-Kāsım Mahmûd b. Ömer b. Muhammed el-Hârizmî ez-Zemahşerî (ö. 538/1144) özelinde ele alınmış, böylece tasavvur-yorum ilişkisinin keyfiyeti tespit edilmiştir. Makalede nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden betimsel analiz ve dokümantasyon yöntemleri kullanılmış, adı geçen müfessirlerin yorumları mukayese edilerek Allah’a dair algıları doğrultusunda tasavvurların âyet yorumlarına yansımaları aktarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda da adı geçen iki müfessir özelinde Allah tasavvurlarının âyet yorumlarına doğrudan etkisi olduğu, her müfessirin tasavvuru doğrultusunda âyetleri te’vil ettiği görülmüştür.

Citizen Science: What is in it for the Official Statistics Community?
Authors: Proden Elena , Fraisl Dilek , See Linda
Published: June 2023

Citizen science data are an example of a non-traditional data source that is starting to be used in the monitoring of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and for national monitoring by National Statistical Systems (NSSs). However, little is known about how the official statistics community views citizen science data, including the opportunities and the challenges, apart from some selected examples in the literature. To fill this gap, this paper presents the results from a survey of NSS representatives globally to understand the key factors in the readiness of national data ecosystems to leverage citizen science data for official monitoring and reporting, and assesses the current awareness and perceptions of NSSs regarding the potential use of these data. The results showed that less than 20% of respondents had direct experience with citizen science data, but almost 50% felt that citizen science data could provide data for SDG and national indicators where there are significant data gaps, listing SDGs 1, 5, and 6 as key areas where citizen science could contribute. The main perceived impediments to the use of citizen science data were lack of awareness, lack of human capacity, and lack of methodological guidance, and several different kinds of quality issues were raised by the respondents, including accuracy, reliability, and the need for appropriate statistical procedures, among many others. The survey was then used as a starting point to identify case studies of successful examples of the use of citizen science data, with follow-up interviews used to collect detailed information from different countries. Finally, the paper provides concrete recommendations targeted at NSSs on how they can use citizen science data for official monitoring.
