Feasibility of formulating ecosystem biogeochemical models from established physical rules
Authors: Tang Jinyun , Riley William J. , Manzoni Stefano , Maggi Federico
Published: October 2023

To improve the predictive capability of ecosystem biogeochemical models
(EBMs), we discuss the feasibility of formulating biogeochemical
processes using physical rules that have underpinned the many successes
in computational physics and chemistry. We argue that the currently
popular empirically based modeling approaches, such as multiplicative
empirical response functions and the law of the minimum, will not lead
to EBM formulations that can be continuously refined to incorporate
improved mechanistic understanding and empirical observations of
biogeochemical processes. As an alternative to these empirical models,
we propose to formulate EBMs using established physical rules widely
used in computational physics and chemistry. Through several examples,
we demonstrate how mathematical representations derived from physical
rules can improve understanding of relevant biogeochemical processes and
enable more effective communication between modelers, observationalists,
and experimentalists regarding essential questions, such as what
measurements are needed to meaningfully inform models and how can models
generate new process-level hypotheses to test in empirical studies?
SODA4: A Mesoscale Ocean-Sea Ice Reanalysis
Authors: Carton James A. , Chepurin Gennady A.
Published: October 2023

This paper introduces the new eddy-resolving global Simple Ocean Data
Assimilation version 4 (SODA4) ocean/sea ice reanalysis. As with its
predecessor SODA3, sequential data assimilation is used to constrain the
evolving temperature and salinity fields using World Ocean Database
profiles, in-situ and satellite sea surface temperature observations,
and sea ice thickness estimates as constraints. The numerical model is
based on NOAA/Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory MOM5.1/SIS1 numerics
with nominal l/10° horizontal resolution, and 75 levels in the vertical.
Surface forcing is provided by a bias-corrected version of the European
Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts ERA5 forcing, while
continental discharge is provided by a separate monthly
observation-based discharge dataset. A 13-year (2010-2022) reanalysis
experiment (SODA4.15.2) is compared to the coarser resolution, but
otherwise similar SODA3.15.2 and to assimilated and independent
observations. These comparisons show that the greatest reduction in time
mean bias occurs near strong fronts, which become narrower and stronger.
Eddy variability is increased, increasing eddy heat transport. Improved
vertical resolution produces shallow summer temperature and salinity
stratification which is most noticeable in midlatitudes and the eastern
tropical Pacific and Atlantic in Northern Hemisphere winter.
Assessing the Shield Termination Approaches in Aircraft Wiring to Against the Lightning Indirect Effects
Authors: Atalay Emre , Tuncer Ahmet Turgut
Published: October 2023

Lightning is a natural phenomenon where high voltages and currents suddenly discharge. It can be caused by clouds themselves, clouds between them, or clouds near the earth. Aircraft are also at risk of being struck by lightning and there is currently no way to prevent this from happening. Instead, efforts are being made to protect by reducing the effects of lightning. Metal structures in aircraft form a Faraday cage which helps in preventing lightning currents from entering the aircraft. However, composite structures, which are becoming more prevalent in the aviation sector, are less efficient in doing so compared to metals. Additionally, openings such as windows in the aircraft can break the Faraday cage and allow strong electromagnetic fields to penetrate. Hence, all equipment used on board the aircraft must be adequately qualified and lightning-proof. The most popular technique used to reduce the indirect effects of lightning on electronics is cable shielding. In this study, various shielding termination techniques for their effectiveness against indirect effect of lightning examined and It is found that utilizing a 360˚ backshell termination technique provided to be highly effective, providing protection of nearly 3 dB. The results obtained from the experiments are compared with simulation results and previous studies and it has been observed that the obtained results are consistent with each other.
Identification of International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis major and clinically relevant non-major bleed events from electronic health records: a novel algorithm to enhance data utilisation from real-world sources
Authors: Hartenstein Alexander , Abdelgawwad Khaled , Kleinjung Frank , Privitera Stephen , Viethen Thomas , Vaitsiakhovich Tatsiana
Published: October 2023

IntroductionIn randomised controlled trials (RCTs), bleeding outcomes are often assessed using definitions provided by the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH). Information relating to bleeding events in real-world evidence (RWE) sources are not identified using these definitions. To assist with accurate comparisons between clinical trials and real-world studies, algorithms are required for the identification of ISTH-defined bleeding events in RWE sources.
ObjectivesTo present a novel algorithm to identify ISTH-defined major and clinically-relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding events in a US Electronic Health Record (EHR) database.
MethodsThe ISTH definition for major bleeding was divided into three subclauses: fatal bleeds, critical organ bleeds and symptomatic bleeds associated with haemoglobin reductions. Data elements from EHRs required to identify patients fulfilling these subclauses (algorithm components) were defined according to International Classification of Diseases, 9th and 10th Revisions, Clinical Modification disease codes that describe key bleeding events. Other data providing context to bleeding severity included in the algorithm were: `interaction type' (diagnosis in the inpatient or outpatient setting), `position' (primary/discharge or secondary diagnosis), haemoglobin values from laboratory tests, blood transfusion codes and mortality data.
ResultsIn the final algorithm, the components were combined to align with the subclauses of ISTH definitions for major and CRNM bleeds. A matrix was proposed to guide identification of ISTH bleeding events in the EHR database. The matrix categorises bleeding events by combining data from algorithm components, including: diagnosis codes, 'interaction type', 'position', decreases in haemoglobin concentrations (≥2 g/dL over 48 hours) and mortality.
ConclusionsThe novel algorithm proposed here identifies ISTH major and CRNM bleeding events that are commonly investigated in RCTs in a real-world EHR data source. This algorithm could facilitate comparison between the frequency of bleeding outcomes recorded in clinical trials and RWE. Validation of algorithm performance is in progress.

Paulo Freire e cultura digital
Authors: Pesce Lucila , Bruno Adriana Rocha , Hessel Ana Maria Di Grado
Published: October 2023

O presente ensaio deriva dos estudos e pesquisas das autoras e se ergue em meio aos seguintes campos conceituais: proposta educacional freiriana, cultura digital, decolonialidade. O ensaio ampara-se em teóricos que estudam os limites e as possibilidades da cultura digital nas práticas sociais contemporâneas. Nesse movimento, deflagra as contradições inerentes às mídias digitais, nos modos como a sociedade hodierna vem se organizando. Ao fazê-lo, aponta que, em paralelo ao modo como as mídias digitais têm sido perversamente cooptadas pelo ideário neoliberal, a cultura digital carrega consigo uma potência para o enfrentamento do recrudescimento de posições reacionárias e/ou fundamentalistas advindas desse mesmo ideário. O ensaio finaliza, apontando a pujança da supracitada tríade conceitual para a construção de processos (trans)formativos contribuintes a práticas sociais emancipadoras, solidárias, voltadas ao desenvolvimento da consciência socioambiental e da constituição do sujeito da experiência.

Cohesion as a Factor of Positive Family Relations in Conditions of Uncertainty: Young People’s Ideas
Authors: Bersirova A. K.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. Modern conditions of increased uncertainty are reflected in young people’s ideas about the family system. While the image of a future family forms, a young person’s relationships experience obtained in their family of origin finds its way in it. It is noteworthy that this experience is already self-reflected by the person. Family cohesion as a supportive interaction not only provides one with harmonious personality growth but also stands as a basis for creating positive relations in the family. Study of young people’s ideas about cohesion in conditions of uncertainty will allow one to reveal the measures of socio-psychological support.

Purpose. In our research, we will identify and describe young people’s ideas about cohesion as a factor of positive family relations in conditions of uncertainty. Materials and Methods. 125 master’s students (among them 45 young men and 80 young women) participated in the study. We used the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale (Olson, Porter, & Lavee).

Results. Cohesion and adaptability ideas indicators’ specifics and gender differences in modern master’s students are reflected. Compared to men, young women retrospectively lower asses family cohesion and adaptability expression level. In general, participants show ambiguous ideas regarding cohesion and adaptability in the family of origin. On the one hand, family adaptability level characterized as “extreme” and “chaotic”. On the other hand, family cohesion was assessed as “mid-range” and “balanced”, thus reflecting contradictory ideas of the master’s students.

Discussion and Conclusion. Family cohesion is an important factor in the improvement of hardiness in both the family and individual. Important reflexive points of the person as a subject of matrimonial behaviour are ideas about cohesion role in successful family development. We suggest that socio-psychological training can increase awareness of the ideas and solve their contradictoriness.

Authors: Bylkova S. V. , Chubova E. P.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The article considers the content of the “communicability” notion as a key competence. In the modern world, communication skills are often perceived as essential ones. The need to integrate university knowledge explains the value of the research topic. We believe that the development of communication skills in the educational environment is of great importance. Moreover, a special attention should be given to the balanced combination of class and extracurricular activities at the university.

Purpose. We will study future specialists’ integrative mechanism of communicability development, corresponding to the requests of employers.

Materials and Methods. We used the following methods: Questionnaire to assess the basic parameters of teamwork, The Belbin test, the “Public Speaking Skill” Scale, as well as the “Criteria to Assess the Informativeness of Speech”, the “Criteria to Assess Persuasive Speech” and the “Self-Analysis of Public Speaking” methods.

Results. We identified a priority of activity approach and individualization of the educational process, which are built on the active teaching methods providing the activation of students’ cognitive work. Thus, students who master the specified learning modules can correctly grade communicative situations, choose reasonable strategies of verbal behaviour for communicative situations on any level of discourse.

Discussion and Conclusion. The development of communicative skills by future specialists is accomplished both in the study of various communication subjects and as a result of participation in extracurricular activities. This activity is associated with forms of university discipline work and is consolidated in the course of different practice classes.
The Visualization Method in Dealing with Symptoms of Anxiety and Stress
Authors: Makarova E. A. , Degtyareva E. N.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. This article is devoted to the visualization method, which can be of great use in the situations accompanied by anxiety, stress, and states of depression. In the age of instability and uncertainty, people experience stress much more often, thus proving the need to investigate on this issue. The method can be helpful not only to put a person in a better mood, but also to make them feel better. Visualization can be practiced every time symptoms of anxiety appear. To improve one’s mastery of visualization, it is not enough to know how to perform this method. Instead, one should practice it several times a day.

Purpose. In our article we will consider the visualization method, which appears quite popular. It includes the use of imagination to experience the desired feeling, such as tranquility, confidence, and motivation.

Materials and Methods. Visualization and imagination methods (sometimes called guided imagery) suggest several ways of reducing stress. The methods imply systematic practice of visualization, in the course of which a detailed mental image of calm and peaceful ambience is created. Results. In our research, we investigated the level of anxiety and depression before and after applying visualization. Moreover, the visualization method was approved on the recipients with positive results. Therefore, it can be recommended for implementation as a method to stabilize emotional temperature, learn self-regulation, develop cognitive capacity, and master communication skills. All participants showed an increase in mood and a decrease in stress level.

Discussion and Conclusion. Creative visualization not only helps imagine a positive stressful situation outcome, but can serve as a “mental preparation” for success in any activity. In addition, visualization can be used as one of the coping strategies for optimism improvement and the development of stress resilience. Further directions of study are emphasized in this section.
Study on Dynamic Response Characteristics of Different Asphalt Pavement Structures Based on ALF Test
Authors: Guangcong Ni , Tiraturyan A. N. , Uglova E. V. , Vorobev A. V.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. In recent years, one of the main trends in the field of testing road structures has become field study of their large-scale models at the accelerated load facility (ALF). It can significantly reduce the cost of selecting the most economical  and  durable  pavement  designs.  However,  the  results  obtained  on  the ALF  are  often  relative,  since  they practically do not correlate with the results of laboratory and field tests on real objects. This study is aimed at a comprehensive investigation of the response of a road structure to a dynamic load, the establishment of patterns of fatigue failure of asphalt concrete layers during the accelerated testing and full-scale tests on real objects.

Materials and Methods. During testing, an accelerated load facility was used, located on the territory of the ShanDong Transport University. When conducting field tests, a dynamic loading unit with a falling weight FWD Primax 1500 was used, which recorded the deflection bowl on the surface of the structure under study. To record the dynamic response in the arrangement of the road structure, a complex of strain gauge sensors was used, which made it possible to register both compressive stresses and tensile strains in different layers. The results obtained under natural conditions were compared to the results obtained on the mathematical FEM model.

Results. The research results have shown that the thickness of the lower coating layer is the main factor affecting the amount of vertical deformation of the pavement, which must be taken into account at the design stage of the pavement structure. Thus, with a thickness of the upper layer of the base of 10 cm, the vertical deformation was 100 µm, and with a thickness of 20 cm – 55  µm,  provided  that  the  overall strength of the structure was ensured. The number of load application cycles on the ALF had a minimal effect on the selected asphalt concrete samples during split tensile tests.

Discussion and Conclusion. The adequacy of the results obtained in the course of accelerated testing of road structures was shown through a comprehensive comparison of numerical simulation data and full-scale tests, and the adequacy of the applied calculation methods was validated. The results of the study can be further applied in the road industry to develop and improve the regulatory framework for the design of non-rigid pavement under conditions of increased loads and heavy traffic.

The objective of this research is to select the best logistics operation location for supporting multi-production field operations in an upstream oil and gas working area in Indonesia (Company XYZ). Company XYZ will have several upcoming production fields in the future, which are in different locations along the working area and far from the existing logistics operation location. Existing storage occupancy also becomes another consideration in preparation for the logistics operation plan to support multi-production fields. Some locations are examined as alternatives for upcoming logistics operation locations. The selection process will go through the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method as part of the Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) tool. Three decision criteria used in this research refer to company XYZ’s strategic pillars, which are Financial, HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment), and Production. The sub-criteria are selected from previous research that is relevant to the study. Some experts are involved in providing professional judgment for the available options to result in the alternative location with the highest priority as a business solution.

"Giving the sharp version of an univalence condition means to give the final response to an open question. We prove in this paper the sharp version of a starlikeness condition. The basic tool in our study is the convolution theory. We present a short history of the problem before the proof of the main result."

Authors: VAŠKO Željko , OSTOJIĆ Aleksandar , JALIĆ Nemanja , VAŠKO Mileva
Published: October 2023

Until the COVID-19 pandemic, the world was experiencing a rapidly growing trend of tourist travel and overnight stays. As a result of COVID-19 restrictions, the travel and tourism sector experienced a fall and suffered financial losses. The purpose of the research was to investigate the role and importance of travel health insurance on the case study of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The first part of the research was conducted on the basis of processing historical data from secondary sources. The second part of the research is based on the processing of data that reflect attitudes of tourists-travellers about travel health insurance before and during pandemic collected through online survey. The processing of the data from the primary and secondary sources was done through a single-variant statistical data analysis (analysis of frequency and distribution), and the correlation analysis and correlation analysis with the assessment of its statistical significance using the Chi-square test. The results confirm that during the COVID-19 pandemic in BiH, the absolute number of contracted travel insurance decreased due to the reduced number of travels, but the number of those who obligatory contracted travel health insurance increased. Of those who travelled abroad during the pandemic, 82% always or at times contracted travel health insurance. Almost half (47%) of those who contracted travel health insurance contracted an additional COVID-19 insurance. Those who travelled abroad during the pandemic, 9% had health problems caused by the COVID-19 virus infection. Main conclusion is that travel health insurance increases the willingness of tourists to travel even in case of increased risk (such the COVID-19 pandemic) and that it represents a successful model of risk sharing between tourist guests and hosts, with the mediation of insurance companies.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE USE OF CLAWBACK AS A GOVERNANCE MECHANISM ON EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION IN SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: MAHOMED Naseeha , SCHUTTE Daniel P.
Published: October 2023

The use of malus and clawback provisions has increased in recent years due to the demand for tighter controls on incentive-based compensation. The alignment between executive pay and individual performance creates a culture of responsible decision-making and accountability within an organisation. This paper seeks to evaluate the current state of governance legislation on the clawback of remuneration in the South African context. A systematic literature review was conducted to provide descriptive insight on the technical and procedural approach applied to the clawback of remuneration. These findings were then compared to other countries so that similarities, differences, and areas of further research could be identified. Through detailed content analysis, it was found that the South African governance regime lags behind its international counterparts regarding remuneration clawback. Due to the absence of relevant statutory guidelines, discretion is frequently applied, leading to inconsistent treatment of clawback amongst listed companies. The use of clawback as a risk-mitigation mechanism is also relatively new in South Africa and comparative studies provide useful insight on the technicalities and administration processes applied abroad. The lessons learnt and strategies applied internationally serve as a benchmark for the development of clawback legislation in South Africa.
