Authors: Yu Na , Lv Yufeng , Liu Guang , Zhuang Fulei , Wang Qian
Published: November 2023

Groundwater is an essential water source for drinking, domestic, irrigation and industrial production in Luxi Plain, Shandong Province, China. Understanding the spatial–temporal changes in groundwater quality and its influencing factors in the region were required for better utilization of groundwater resources and efficient design of groundwater management strategies. In this study, the hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater in the study area were analyzed, and significant evolution was found from 2018 to 2020 due to silicate and carbonate weathering, evaporation and human activities. Moreover, the entropy water quality index (EWQI) was used to assess groundwater quality from 2018 to 2020. The EWQI values in 2018–2020 were 129.5, 90.5 and 94.0, respectively, and 31.7% of the groundwater in 2019 and 20.0% in 2020 can be used directly for drinking in the study area; others can be used for domestic water or irrigation. The potable groundwater, with an EWQI value of <50 (ranked as class Ⅰ or Ⅱ water quality), was mainly distributed in the west and southeast of the study area. The potential health risk due to oral intake and dermal intake was further assessed based on the human health risk assessment (HHRA) model. The results showed that, 37.3%, 6.7% and 3.3% of the groundwater samples for adults exceeded the acceptable limit for non-carcinogenic risk of 1.0 in 2018–2020, while for children, they were 88.2%, 30.0% and 56.7%, respectively. The high non-carcinogenic risks virtually all occurred in the counties or districts with higher agricultural or economic values. This work may provide useful information for local groundwater conservation and management and help to ensure a sustainable and healthy water supply for drinking, domestic and agricultural needs.

Authors: Manservigi Lucrezia , Venturini Mauro , Losi Enzo , Castorino Giulia Anna Maria
Published: November 2023

A pump as turbine (PAT) can be a cost-effective and versatile solution to recover energy in several fields of application. However, its optimal exploitation requires a reliable and general methodology for selecting the optimal turbomachine. To this purpose, this paper presents and validates a comprehensive methodology that identifies the best turbomachine (i.e., the one that maximizes the recovered energy) by considering two hydraulic sites and forty-five PATs. In both sites, the methodology correctly identifies the best PAT, which allows for the recovery of up to 45% of the available hydraulic energy. To further investigate PAT potential, an additional layout of installation, which comprises two PATs installed in parallel, is also considered. The operation of both PATs is optimally scheduled to maximize energy recovery. As a result, the energy recovered by the best pair of PATs is almost 50% of the available hydraulic energy. An in-depth analysis about PAT operation (i.e., operating range, causes of wasted energy, timeframe of operation and PAT efficiency) reveals that the installation of two PATs is actually recommended in just one of the two considered sites.

Published: November 2023

Microplastic (MP) pollution is a rapidly spreading global problem, threatening the use and sustainability of freshwater resources. MPs in water can act as both a source and sink of dissolved organic compounds. This review summarizes the current knowledge of interactions between MPs and dissolved organic compounds, including the adsorption and release of dissolved organic compounds by MPs and the impacts of MPs on the source and sink of natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic ecosystems. The key mechanisms for the adsorption of dissolved organic compounds on MPs are hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals forces, and π–π interactions. Particle size, morphological characteristics, density, and environmental factors (pH, ionic strength, and UV radiation) have a great influence on the adsorption of dissolved organic compounds on MPs. Although research on the interactions between dissolved organic compounds and MPs has progressed rapidly, to date, research on the impacts of increasing amounts of MPs on natural DOM cycles (production, transformation, and fate) in aquatic ecosystems has been very limited. Knowledge gaps and future research directions are outlined at the end of this review.

Linking the improvement of water ecosystems to the use of economic concepts and instruments is one of the main innovations introduced by the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). This should be achieved by Member States through an approach clearly linking measures and interventions to improve water ecosystems to the identified pressures on water bodies (i.e., the gap analysis) and a set of economic provisions. However, modest progress in the implementation of these provisions has been recorded over time. Therefore, this paper aims to shed new light on the current limits in the implementation of the economic analysis of the WFD, in particular in relation to the gap analysis, through a comprehensive review of grey and scientific literature on the topics of gap analysis, economic valuation of ecosystem goods and services, water pricing, and disproportionate costs of measures. General conclusions and recommendations of this analysis are that enhancing data quality, promoting consistency and interaction in economic analysis components, and embedding them pragmatically in decision-making procedures are crucial. The gap analysis plays a pivotal role in directing economic research towards relevant issues within the river basin and in guiding decision makers more effectively in the application of the economic analyses required by the WFD.
A New Method for Estimating Groundwater Changes Based on Optimized Deep Learning Models—A Case Study of Baiquan Spring Domain in China
Authors: Zhang Jialun , Dong Donglin , Zhang Longqiang
Published: November 2023

Estimating groundwater level (GWL) changes is crucial for the sustainable management of water resources in the face of urbanization and population growth. Existing prediction methods for GWL variations have limitations due to their inability to account for the diverse and irregular patterns of change. This paper introduces an innovative approach to GWL prediction that leverages multisource data and offers a comprehensive analysis of influencing factors. Our methodology goes beyond conventional approaches by incorporating historical GWL data, examining the impacts of precipitation and extraction, as well as considering policy-driven influences, especially in nations like China. The main contribution of this study is the development of a novel hierarchical framework (HGP) for GWL prediction, which progressively integrates correlations among different hierarchical information sources. In our experimental analysis, we make a significant discovery: extraction has a more substantial impact on GWL changes compared to precipitation. Building on this insight, our HGP model demonstrates superior predictive performance when evaluated on real-world datasets. The results show that HGP can increase NSE and R2 scores by 2.8% during the test period compared to the current more accurate deep learning method: ANFIS. This innovative model not only enhances GWL prediction accuracy but also provides valuable insight for effective water resource management. By incorporating multisource data and a novel hierarchical framework, our approach advances the state of the art in GWL prediction, contributing to more sustainable and informed decision making in the context of groundwater resource management.

Published: November 2023

The acceptance of e-motorcycles among German motorcyclists is the focus of this quantitative longitudinal study. By comparing survey results from 2017 and 2022, questions about changes in perception of e-motorcycles over time as well as possible stimulating factors are analyzed. The research design is built upon literature research, a secondary literature analysis, and a survey of motorcyclists. Statistical procedures are used for data analysis and interpretation. The literature analysis enables the present study to be integrated into the current state of research. The findings show that the willingness to consider an e-motorcycle as the next purchase was low in 2017 and dropped from 20% to 5% in 2022, which contrasts with the rising sales figures of e-motorcycles in the German market. Based on these findings, conclusions are drawn about the market potential of e-motorcycles in Germany and an overview of the general assessments and concerns of motorcyclists is provided.

Published: November 2023

En este artículo abordamos los principales desafíos que enfrenta la coalición opositora venezolana, Plataforma Unitaria, a partir de los resultados de la elección primaria de octubre de 2023. Analizamos el surgimiento de María Corina Machado como candidata y exploramos posibles estrategias para gestionar las divisiones internas en la oposición, entre los denominados sectores moderados y radicales, de cara a las elecciones presidenciales de 2024. En este contexto, sostenemos que el liderazgo de la oposición se encuentra en una encrucijada, debatiéndose por un lado entre la institucionalización y la coordinación de grupos con diversos intereses, y por otro, la consumación de un liderazgo populista de derecha, cónsona con la expansión de una nueva derecha global, que confronte al régimen de Maduro.

Published: November 2023

Long years ago, transactions were made by the help of Barter system, where goods and services were exchanged by goods and services. Later on, with the evolution of mankind Barter system is replaced by Token currency where the goods and services were exchanged for coins and notes. But in the recent time there was the evolution of digital payment system. Digital transactions include transactions through credit cards, debit cards and other digital wallet platforms. The different modes of digital payments saw a drastic change in usage in the last 4 years. After demonetization on November 8th, 2016, India saw an increased use of different internet payment systems for money transfer through various devices. Govt. of India also encouraged Digital transaction through its various initiatives such as Digital India. NPCI (National Payments Corporation India) launched Bharat interface for Money (BHIM) an application run on UPI (Unified Payment Interface) in December 2016 to cater the growing online payment needs. But the acceptability among the masses is still a big concern. Many Indians shows hostile attitude toward digital mode of transactions. So, this paper will study the various factors that contribute the acceptability of Digital transaction. The research paper is based on 201 individuals who will demonstrate the demographic factors like age, gender, income group, education etc. which influence the acceptability of the digital mode of transactions. The study will greatly help the GOI as well as Banking sector in order to achieve Digital & Financial literacy.

Published: November 2023

Key Points

In a large multinational cohort of PD patients, any GAS use was not associated with an increased risk of all-organism peritonitis.

For peritonitis, risks were particularly high among certain classes of organisms particularly for Gram-negative, enteric, and streptococcal peritonitis episodes.

The association with enteric peritonitis appeared to be stronger among H2RA users.

Background

Peritonitis is a major peritoneal dialysis–related complication. We determined whether gastric acid suppression (GAS) (proton pump inhibitor [PPI] or histamine-2 receptor antagonists [H2RAs]) use was associated with all-cause and organism-specific peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients.

Methods

In the Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (595 facilities, eight countries, years 2014–2022), associations between GAS use and time to first episode of all-cause peritonitis were examined using Cox proportional hazards models. The primary exposure of interest was GAS and secondarily PPI or H2RA use. Secondary outcomes were organism-specific peritonitis, peritonitis cure rates, and death.

Results

Among patients (N=23,797) at study baseline, 6020 (25.3%) used PPIs, and 1382 (5.8%) used H2RAs. Overall risks of GAS use and peritonitis risk (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR]=1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.98 to 1.13]) and use of PPI (AHR 1.06 [95% CI, 0.99 to 1.14]) or H2RA (AHR 1.02 [95% CI, 0.88 to 1.18]) did not reach statistical significance. In organism-specific analyses, GAS users displayed higher peritonitis risks for Gram-negative (AHR 1.29, 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.57), Gram-positive (AHR 1.15, 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.31), culture-negative (AHR 1.20, 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.42), enteric (AHR 1.23, 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.48), and particularly Streptococcal (AHR 1.47, 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.89) peritonitis episodes. GAS was also associated with higher overall mortality (AHR 1.13 [95% CI, 1.05 to 1.22]).

Conclusion

The association between GAS use and peritonitis risk was weaker (hazard ratio [HR] 1.05 [0.98 to 1.13]) than for streptococcal (HR 1.57 [1.15 to 1.89]) and Gram-negative (HR 1.29 [1.05 to 1.57]) peritonitis. A better understanding of mechanisms surrounding the differential effects of GAS subtype on peritonitis risks is needed. Clinicians should be cautious when prescribing GAS. The impact of GAS deprescribing on peritonitis risk requires further evaluation.
Cultivating whanaungatanga and collaboration: Exploring the impact of inquiry-based project learning on kaiako and tamariki in early childhood education in Aotearoa
Authors: Probine Sarah , Perry Jo , Heta-Lensen Yo
Published: November 2023

This paper examines the role of collaboration in inquiry-based project work in early childhood education in Aotearoa New Zealand. It draws upon findings from a research project exploring how inquiry-based project learning has been interpreted and undertaken in early childhood settings in this context. Inquiry-based project learning is a collaborative approach, underpinned by sociocultural theories, that supports a democratic view. The study is positioned in an interpretivist qualitative paradigm and is informed by sociocultural theories. A narrative inquiry approach informed the study design. Phase One of the project, which comprised a national questionnaire sent to all early childhood centres registered on the national ECE data base was completed in 2021. Phase Two, underway at the time of writing this paper, has involved a small number of purposively selected early childhood settings. At each of these settings, data collection has comprised an interview with the teaching team about their pedagogical frameworks, key influences and teaching practices, and a period of classroom observations focused on a current inquiry. Analysis of the data suggests that collaboration is cultivated when kaiako (teachers) prioritise whanaungatanga (sustaining connections and relationships) and have spent time developing pedagogical practices resulting in shared understandings surrounding inquiry-based project work. The impact of collaboration on the learning of tamariki (children) is demonstrated by a series of vignettes from the Phase Two data, demonstrating that developing a collaborative learning culture of inquiry fosters reciprocity, connection, theory making and problem solving.

Background: Heat stress followed by heat stroke, which is caused by an increase in body temperature to more than 40 °C, is a medical emergency that affects many people in work situations and weather conditions and results in irreversible neurological and cognitive damage. Methods: In general, 75 male albino mice in the weight range of 28-30 g were used in the present study. The mice were divided into 5 groups of 15, including the control group, heat stress (HS) group, HS group+sericin 100, HS group+sericin 150, and HS group+sericin 200. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and Toll-like receptor (TLR4) expression levels were measured using the real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the expression of hsp60 and hsp90 proteins was measured using a western blot. Results: The expression level of TLR2 and TLR4 receptors increased significantly with the passage of time as a result of stimulation. Western blot results showed that the expression levels of HSP60 and HSP90 increased as well. Conclusion: The results of RT-PCR revealed that HS significantly increases the expression of innate immune system receptors such as TLR2 and TLR4.

Introduction: This study assessed anxiety and depression scores based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire, inpatients recalled after mammography. Methods: In this cohort study, women referred for mammography completed the HADS questionnaire. In 2019, 84 patients who required recall based on the results of their previous mammogram were selected and then completed the HADS questionnaire for the second stage. The HADS questionnaire was used to examine psychological problems. SPSS was used to analyze the collected data. Results: In this study, 86 women who were screened with mammography were evaluated. The mean age was 47.2±8.3 years. Based on the HADS questionnaire, the mean anxiety score before mammography was 10.2±4.8, and after the recall was 13.2±4.2, which was statistically significant (P<0.001). Also, the depression score in these patients before mammography was 10.7±3.8, and after the recall was 12.6±3.6 (P<0.001). Conclusion: Recalling patients after mammography can increase their anxiety and depression, which can decrease patients’ desire for follow-ups.

Published: November 2023

The present study aims to analyze part of the legislative arguments that culminated in Law no. 14.230/2021, as well as evaluating the rationality of some of its provisions, based on Manuel Atienza's Theory of Legislation. For this purpose, bibliographical and documentary research was used, seeking to understand and reflect on the impacts of the new law on guaranteeing the constitutional and collective right to administrative probity. In this context, an imbalance can be observed between what was developed in the parliamentary arguments and the approved legal text. Although there is discussion that the old Administrative Improbity Law promoted numerous “unfair” convictions, there are concerns about the effectiveness of the new changes in holding public agents for committing acts that harm the public interest.

The Covid-19 pandemic has been on its anniversary and it is not yet seen when it will end. Vaccination and health promotion have been carried out by the government. However, it seems that it has not been able to reduce or even stop the pandemic. An alternative way that is considered effective to prevent the transmission of the Covid-19 virus is to comply with health protocols. One of the health protocols that are considered very helpful in preventing the transmission of Covid-19 is the readiness of preparing personal equipment (Starter Kits), especially when outside of the house. In this paper, will be reported an analysis of community readiness regarding their readiness to prepare a Starter kit for foreign students at Khon Kaen Universiti (KKU) and also ordinary people in the Karangtalun, Wukirsari, Imogiri, Yogyakarta area. The evaluation was carried out by asking several questions about whether when leaving the house they spare a mask, hand sanitizer, own eating utensils, drinking bottles, and also their worship tools. Questions are given online or offline using a G-form or question sheet when socializing the Covid-19 pandemic. The results of the evaluation on the readiness of bringing the starter kits from all participants, totaling 44 people, 53.57% of people answered "yes", 25 % of people answered "sometimes", and 21.43% of people answered "no". Based on these results, it can be concluded that most people are aware of the importance of preparing a starter kit while outside the house to prevent the transmission of the Covid 19 virus.

Bantuan sosial tunai adalah satu jaring pengaman sosial untuk meringankan bebanmasyarakat yang terdampak Covid-19. Menteri Koordinator Bidang Politik, Hukum danKeamanan Mahfud MD mengatakan koordinasi antar lembaga terkait belum sinergis,pengawasan dalam penyaluran bantuan sosial masih lemah sehingga membuka celahterjadinya tindakan korupsi. Selain itu terdapat permasalahan administratif yaitu belummeratanya bantuan sosial ini disebabkan oleh data yang belum sempurna. Permasalahandistribusi bantuan sosial sebenarnya sudah lama terjadi. Namun hal ini baru terasa ketikaPandemi Covid-19 terjadi. Berdasarkan fenomena yang terjadi seputar bantuan sosial tunaimaka tim pengabdi menginisiasi Kegiatan Pengabdian Masyarakat dilakukan secara virtualzoom meeting pada 16 Februari 2021 dengan melibatkan beberapa narasumber diantaranyaKepala Dinas Sosial Provinsi Riau, PT.

This paper seeks to examine the violation of territorial integrity as a stage of hybrid warfare. Grounded in the theoretical framework of neoclassical realism, this study analyses nations’ foreign policy strategies considering both global and domestic factors. Employing primarily qualitative research, this study concentrates on a case study of the South Caucasus region. Against the backdrop of the war which broke out in the early 2022 between Russia and Ukraine, the preservation of territorial integrity emerges as an imperative aspect of national security policy. Despite the longstanding recognition of territorial integrity as a fundamental tenet of international law over the centuries, this war has galvanised all nations with regard to the violation of territorial integrity. The paper delineates the principles of territorial integrity vis-à-vis the national security of the South Caucasus countries, substantiating the assertion that violation of the territorial integrity of the particular countries in this region serves the interests of external actors, either directly or indirectly, and is employed as a strategic tool in the pursuit of protracted hybrid warfare.

Para realizar una ataque de route hijacking no se saca provecho a ninguna vulnerabilidad o falla de protocolo, sino que se explota que la arquitectura de BGP está basada en la confianza mutua. Por este motivo es que estos ataques son tan antiguos como el mismo protocolo, y en la actualidad estos fallos se siguen produciendo y se continúa investigando cual es la mejor estrategia para brindar seguridad al ruteo en Internet. Las nuevas soluciones, como RPKI, están generando riesgos debido a la centralización de la autoridad de enrutamiento, las mismas no se basan en la confianza mutua, pero dependen de la confianza en la autoridad. Con este trabajo se busca implementar un modelo menos centralizado, basado en blockchain, donde mediante el despliegue de una aplicación específica para la asignación de recursos de Internet en la red Ethereum Sepolia, y la posterior utilización de esa información almacenada, se demuestra como brindar seguridad al protocolo BGP.

Published: November 2023

With a cohort study of 200 patients evenly split between the two groups, we evaluated the efcacy of Modern and Ayurvedic treatment techniques
for haemorrhoids in this prospective comparative research. We found no statistically signicant differences between the groups at any of the
examined time intervals (4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks) in terms of pain alleviation (VAS score), reduction in haemorrhoid size, symptom relief
(including bleeding and itching), and quality of life improvements. Both groups constantly had good patient satisfaction, and there were seldom
any negative side effects. According to our research, both treatment approaches give effective and well-tolerated haemorrhoid management
alternatives, empowering healthcare professionals and patients to make educated decisions based on personal preferences and cultural factors. To
improve the overall care of haemorrhoid patients, more study into possible therapeutic synergies is required.

Introduction: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is the most common identiable cause of secondary open angle glaucoma2,7 which can lead to rapid
progression of optic nerve damage and irreversible blindness. The study was aimed to study the clinical prole of Pseudoexfoliation (PEX)
syndrome among patients presented for cataract surgery in a tertiary eye care hospital and to determine the association of glaucoma in patients with
pseudoexfoliation and cataract. This is a cross sectional study conducted over Materials & Methods: a period of 6 months among 100 patients of
age-related senile cataract who were planned for cataract surgery in the department of Ophthalmology. All patients underwent slit lamp
examination before and after pupillary dilatation, intraocular pressure measurement, gonioscopy and fundus examination. Out of 100 Results:
patients, 23% had bilateral PEX, 7% had unilateral PEX and 70% had no PEX. The most common age group was between 51 to 60 years. 37% of
patients with PEX had high IOP (>21mmHg) with signicant glaucomatous optic disc changes. All 100 patients were graded to have nuclear
cataract. Hence Pseudoexfoliation is an age-related disorder, frequently assoc Conclusions: iated with cataract leading to open angle glaucoma and

Published: November 2023

Radar-based human activity recognition (HAR) is a popular research field. In this paper, we explore methods to improve the generalization of micro-Doppler-based swimming activity recognition. We identify three primary challenges for this task: a small dataset, inaccurate period estimation, and an inefficient network design that does not account for the unique characteristics of spectrograms. To address the limited dataset size, we propose spectral data augmentation tailored for micro-Doppler spectrograms. We also investigate two strategies, namely repeated augmentation and contrastive pretraining, to effectively utilize these augmentations. To tackle inaccurate period estimation, we introduce a segmentation approach based on energy distribution to handle temporal period variation, and we include a temporal modeling module in the network structure. To exploit the spread pattern of limb motion in the Doppler dimension and the continuous properties of torso motion in the temporal dimension,  we design a module that consists of both 2D convolution and 1D temporal dynamic convolution to serve as the feature extractor. Our evaluation on a self-collected swimming activity recognition dataset demonstrates that our model achieves high classification accuracy with significantly reduced computational costs. The augmentation methods, particularly when combined with contrastive pretraining, result in improved performance across accuracy and robustness metrics.
