Assessing Risks from Groundwater Exploitation and Utilization: Case Study of the Shanghai Megacity, China
Authors: Zhang Hui , Yu Jingjie , Du Chaoyang , Xia Jun , Wang Xiaojun
Published: August 2019

With rapid economic development, demand for water resources is continuously increasing, which has resulted in common overexploitation of groundwater, particularly in megacities. This overexploitation of groundwater over many years has brought a series of adverse problems, including groundwater level decline, land subsidence and hydrogeological issues. To quantitatively describe these risks, we propose a risk evaluation model for groundwater exploitation and utilization. By deducing and expanding on the cusp catastrophe type, this study breaks through the limitations on the catastrophe assessment method, e.g., the number of indicators, and establishes an improved catastrophe assessment model for groundwater exploitation and utilization risk. In addition, the index system of the risk evaluation is constructed including three criterion layers: groundwater system condition (B1), groundwater exploitation and utilization (B2) and groundwater environmental problems (B3) and is tested for the conditions in Shanghai City, eastern China. The evaluation results show that the comprehensive risk values for groundwater exploitation and utilization in all districts (counties) of Shanghai are between 0.68 and 0.85, which categorizes the city as in the moderate risk zone; therefore, the improved catastrophe model is suitable for assessing groundwater exploitation risk in Shanghai City and should be applicable more broadly for the effective protection and sustainable supply of groundwater.
Patristic Exegesis: The Myth of the Alexandrian-Antiochene Schools of Interpretation
Authors: Slade Darren M.
Published: August 2019

The notion that there existed a distinction between so-called “Alexandrian” and “Antiochene” exegesis in the ancient church has become a common assumption among theologians. The typical belief is that Alexandria promoted an allegorical reading of Scripture, whereas Antioch endorsed a literal approach. However, church historians have long since recognized that this distinction is neither wholly accurate nor helpful to understanding ancient Christian hermeneutics. Indeed, neither school of interpretation sanctioned the practice of just one exegetical method. Rather, both Alexandrian and Antiochene theologians were expedient hermeneuts, meaning they utilized whichever exegetical practice (allegory, typology, literal, historical) that would supply them with their desired theology or interpretive conclusion. The difference between Alexandria and Antioch was not exegetical; it was theological. In other words, it was their respective theological paradigms that dictated their exegetical practices, allowing them to utilize whichever hermeneutical method was most expedient for their theological purposes. Ultimately, neither Alexandrian nor Antiochene exegetes possessed a greater respect for the biblical text over the other, nor did they adhere to modern-day historical-grammatical hermeneutics as theologians would like to believe.

Authors: Lakomy Livia
Published: August 2019

O autora e tradutora do chinês Emily Goedde, então editando como convidada uma revista chamada 91st Meridian para Universidade de Iowa, em 2008, preocupou-se a dar espaço para que seus autores-contribuintes pudessem explorar todas as intersecções entre tradução e não ficção literária  (forma de criação em que o estilo e literariedade se encontrarm com o preocupação em retratar uma realidade). Da sua parte, abordou o tema no ensaio “nada de não ficção: PL2658.E8”, em que tratava da não ficção clássica chinesa como sua falta de presença no mundo da tradução servia como base para compreender como a própria China atual era vista no mundo literário. Neste paper, trazemos o ensaio de Goedde pela primeira vez traduzido e publicado em outro veículo que não a revista em que foi originalmente lançado. Segue-se uma breve entrevista com a autora em que ele explica em mais detalhes alguns pontos levantados pelo texto. Seu trabalho procura levantar pontos importantes sobre a tradução e suas implicações em como vemos o mundo a nossa volta.
Cartas de Plínio o Jovem – seleção temática
Authors: Matos Marly de Bari , Scatolin Adriano
Published: August 2019

Dos 10 livros que compõem a correspondência de Gaio Plínio Cecílio Segundo, ou Plínio, o Jovem (61-114), 9, publicados entre 97 e 109, caracterizam-se pela variedade genérica, temática, elocutiva e de destinatário. Nessas 247 epistulae curatius scriptae, como o próprio Plínio as denomina (Ep. 1.1), encontramos testemunhos sobre a vida social, política e financeira da Roma Imperial, bem como o posicionamento do autor acerca de temas como a infância, filosofia, poesia, ensino e tradução. Êmulo de Cícero, cuja admiração atesta em diversas passagens, contemporâneo e interlocutor de Marcial (38-104), Tácito (56-117) e Suetônio (56-117), seguidor de Quintiliano, de quem fora discipulus, Plínio nos convida a observar e admirar sua interação com seu círculo de familiares, letrados, eruditos, escritores, senadores, entre outros.Como amostragem desse universo eclético tratado pelo autor, elaboramos traduções de cartas selecionadas ao longo desses 9 livros, cujos assuntos recorrentes, quando tomados em conjunto, dialogam intertextualmente entre si, complementando-se e contrapondo-se, produzindo novos significados.

Features of the Conjuncture Measurement of Entrepreneurs’ Digital Activity in Russia: Approach, Indicators, Pilot Results
Authors: Kitrar L. A. , Lola I. S.
Published: August 2019

The process of the digitalization of economic activity currently raises many questions of economic and social policy in Russia that need to be solved with relevant statistical and analytical data.

In this case, it is important to significantly increase the sources of efficient, accessible and comparable data on sectoral digitalization. The authors believe that the opinions and assessments of direct participants of digital events (economic agents from various kinds of economic activity) should also be taken into account when forming targeted decisions of policymakers aimed at the inclusive growth of the national economy, including through such force as digitalization.

Therefore, in 2018 the Centre for Business Tendencies Studies at National Research University Higher School of Economics launched the pilot project focused on measuring the digital activity of Russian enterprises of main types of economic activity. The authors define the main task of the study as the development of such criteria for measuring the industry’s digital market conditions, sample requirements for respondents and a system of indicators that together with the results of the pilot surveys would allow the expert community to actually provide effective data and analytical support to entrepreneurs with forming of sectoral digital platforms.

The main idea of the study is that the success of the country in promoting digital technologies is largely related to the possibilities of collecting large-scale qualitative data on digital trends, barriers and effects comparable to international counterparts.

The review presents the main methodological principles and first results of pilot market surveys among industrial and commercial enterprises in Russia and outlines criteria for selecting indicators for the first pilot sampling. As an example, the section of the article devoted to key results of the 2018 pilot survey of industry uses analysis of digital transformation in medium-size and large manufacturing enterprises.

Innovations in the 2019 pilot survey are addressed as an independent direction. In this regard the article notes that the survey program involves measuring ICTs capabilities and potential to increase resource and environmental efficiency in industry, evaluating investment activities related to green growth and aimed at the development and dissemination of green technologies and achieving environmental goals, assessing final consumption (demand) for environmental goods in trade, accounting for the development ICT technologies aimed at greening and resource efficiency by organizations.

The article concludes that taking into account the first results of the market survey, the basic requirements for a system of market indicators were determined. These requirements reflect the level, directions, intensity, dividends, and effectiveness of digital transformation of the main kinds of economic activities for a more representative consideration of the digital contribution to GDP growth.

Interculturalidad y violencia laboral en jóvenes indígenas egresados de la Universidad Intercultural del Estado de México
Authors: Alejandro García Saúl , Sandoval Forero Eduardo Andrés
Published: August 2019

Resumen
Conocer sobre la formación de los jóvenes indígenas de la Universidad Intercultural del Estado de México (UIEM) se justifica a partir de la reflexión de resultados de sus primeros egresados. Un primer objetivo es conocer el papel que cumplen los egresados indígenas en sus comunidades; otro es dimensionar el modelo educativo intercultural; y un tercer objetivo es comprender las relaciones con el mercado laboral capitalista. La metodología empleada es de tipo cualitativo atendiendo a las narrativas de 19 egresados de las dos primeras generaciones, donde el énfasis fue sobre sus experiencias y condiciones que enfrentaron en sus comunidades y en la búsqueda de empleo formal. Los principales resultados exponen, en parte, una débil vinculación y permanencia con sus comunidades de origen, una desventaja competitiva para la inserción en el sistema capitalista de producción, comercial, de servicios y comunicacional. Lo cual se considera como una violencia estructural hacia los jóvenes indígenas.

Abstract
Learning about the training of indigenous youth of the Intercultural University of the State of Mexico (UIEM) is justified from the reflection of the results of their first graduates. A first objective is to know the role of indigenous graduates in their communities; another is to dimension the intercultural educational model; and a third objective is tounderstand the relations with the capitalist labor market. The methodology used is qualitative in terms of the narratives of 19 graduates of the first two generations, where the emphasis was on their experiences and conditions they faced in their communities and in the search for formal employment. The main results expose, in part, a weak linkage and permanence with their communities of origin, a competitive disadvantage for the insertion in the capitalist system of production, commerce, services and communication. Which is considered as structural violence towards indigenous youth.

José Maurício e Marcos Portugal
Authors: Cranmer David
Published: August 2019

Apesar de se tratar de um “dado adquirido”, a suposta rivalidade entre o Pe. José Maurício Nunes Garcia e Marcos Portugal, da forma como costuma ser retratada, é extremamente reducionista e simplista. Quando a corte portuguesa chegou ao Rio de Janeiro, em 1808, José Maurício era o único músico em condições de assumir os principais papéis musicais e fornecer o leque de composições que a corte precisava. Contudo, aos poucos, as chegadas sucessivas de músicos de Portugal aliviaram-no de certas tarefas: não só Marcos Portugal, mas, antes deste, Bernardo José de Souza Queiroz e Fortunato Mazziotti. Assim, a questão das relações profissionais entre os vários protagonistas nos primeiros anos da estada da Família Real é bem mais complexa do que a tradicional polarização entre José Maurício (o bom) e Marcos Portugal (o mau). Um entendimento, por um lado, dos cargos e tarefas a cumprir e, por outro, da sua distribuição entre os principais músicos disponíveis, revela uma grande diversidade de atividade musical e múltiplas figuras de destaque.

Agriculture productivity is the main factor for improving economic status of India. Reduction in production rate is mainly due to various diseases in plants. Identification of plant disease in early stage is the main challenge for improving the production rate as well as economic status. This paper presents automatic disease detection in cotton crop for three types of diseases Alternaria Leaf Spot Fungal Disease (ALSFD), Grey Mildew Cotton Disease (GMCD), and Rust Foliar Fungal Disease (RFFD). The K-means clustering algorithm is used for disease segmentation for cotton leaf. The diseased cluster is segmented into three clusters. From cluster 2 the features Mean , Contrast, Energy, Correlation, Standard Deviation, Variance , Entropy, and Kurtosis are extracted. The extracted features for 30 samples are given to Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers for disease classification. The performance of these classifiers are compared. The ALSF disease is classified 77.4% for ANN and 84.3% for SVM, GMC disease is 87.8% for ANN and 98.7% in SVM, RFF disease is 90.1%for ANN and 93.2% for SVM. The overall average accuracy of ANN classifier is 85.1% for three diseases and overall average accuracy for SVM is 92.06% for three diseases. It is clearly observed from the analysis SVM classifier gives accurate disease detection compared to ANN.

In competitive global market, manufacturers are urged to know the customer needs well in advance to serve the customer. Customer satisfaction and on time delivery of products play a vital role in establishing long and healthy relationship. When demand for a product is growing, manufacturer ought to plan their activity well in advance to ensure product availability to customer. Capacity planning is done considering dynamically varying demand of customers. Manufacturers are also continuously thriving to reduce cost by enhancing machine utilization. But, Capacity loss is unavoidable in any manufacturing facility. And also it is basic necessity that production capacity to be enhanced, with production cost in consideration. The study intends to increase the capacity of an assembly line and in parallel optimize the manpower (productivity improvement). It deals with identifying non value adding activities and handling them to enhance the capacity of an assembly plant to meet forecast demand. These improvements achieved by using the lean tool, “Value stream mapping (VSM)” which helps to segregate value addition and non-value addition activities for each machine or work station and also will help in continual improvement. Current and future state mapping of assembly line will showcase the lean waste involved in process, current issues, line imbalance, possibilities of further improvements, gap between takt and actual cycle time, inventory at each assembly points, WIP machines and lead time at each stations. These individual issues are sorted out by generating kaizens at each station, which involves brain storming and expert opinion, involving all members of team. These improvements will spread over the entire process flow chain as small pockets. These many numbers of small pockets of improvements is harvested by using another lean tool, “Line balancing”. Line balancing will improve the overall line efficiency and hence capacity enhancement & man power optimization is achieved. The benefits of value stream mapping followed by line balancing technique had yielded capacity enhancement by 86%, manpower reduction by 28%, productivity improvement by from 1.24 to 1.70 units per person per day, through put time reduced from 325.6 to 259.5 mins, line efficiency improved from 79.7% to 97.9% and VA ratio improved from 33 to 37%.

In military and common applications, radar assumes an exceptionally noteworthy job in exploring the vehicle, recognizing for flying machines, ships and so on. Radar cross section is a measure of a target's ability to reflect radar signals in the direction of the receiver. It is obvious that RCS depends on the shape of the reflecting objects. In this paper, a brief overview of various radars used in surveillance applications and radar cross section (RCS) measurement techniques are presented. The objective of this paper is to illustrate methods for obtaining the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of a typical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for various frequencies in radar bands. UAV technologies have advanced tremendously and are being developed successfully. These features lead UAV to patrol even in civil airspace for civilian applications. These objects operate with small radar cross-section and/or on low altitude which imposes security threat. Keeping this view the RCS of a UAV which are flying in civilian airspace has to be determined drastically for security purposes. Several shapes are considered for the estimation of RCS. The results on the variations of RCS for the above objects as a function of frequency, aspect angle are presented. The POFACETS plays a crucial role and provides the user an easy–to–use GUI that allows the input of all necessary parameters, while preventing erroneous data input and other user errors. In this paper the RCS of sphere, ellipsoid and UAV are determined.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN ) provides virtual layer where knowledge regarding actual world can be retrieved by any computational arrangement as these operate as digital skin. These are irreplaceable possessions used for comprehending ideas of IoT as they are used to gather information about physical phenomenon. IoT offers virtual interpretation through Internet Protocol towards a huge variation of real-life objects from buses to saucer, from building to trees in woods. Its appeal is the universal widespread access to the status and location of anything we may be interested in. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects, devices, vehicles, buildings and other items which are embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. WSNs are combined into the “IoT”, where sensor nodes join the Internet vigorously and use it to collaborate and carry out their tasks. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are well suited for long-term environmental data acquisition for IoT representation. Weather conditions monitoring is made by gathering quantifiable information regarding prevailing condition of atmospheric procedure to venture how will it progress in that location.
