Published: September 2022

Flash floods threaten the lives of people and properties in different regions around the world, especially in arid and semi-arid regions due to infrequent flood events. The current study aims to assess the geomorphological parameters of Wadi Sudr, South Sinai in Egypt to evaluate flash flood risks and provide adequate mitigation methods. This study presents an integrated method that combines geographic information system (GIS) and watershed modeling system (WMS) with HEC-HMS to visualize and assess flood events in the study area. Different morphologic parameters of the watershed were determined, including linear, areal, and relief parameters. GIS was used to analyze the satellite images and determine the characteristics of the valley to get the extension and number of stream orders in the valley, then WMS was used to estimate rainstorms and basin characteristics, as well as estimate the amount of rain that causes flooding. HEC-HMS program was used for hydrological demonstration and precipitation overflow estimation. The morphometric analysis provided a quantitative portrayal of the Wadi Sudr watershed. Wadi Sudr has 4029 streams connected with seventh order of streams spread over an area of 547.45 km2. Based on the results of morphologic and hydraulic parameters of the watershed, two locations of protection dams were suggested. A comparison between the two locations was made to select the best location based on some criteria, including storage capacity, water depth behind the dam, width and shape of the valley, and the area covered by water stored in the reservoir. The comparison between the two locations showed that the first location is more appropriate for dam construction based on the examined criteria. The valley shape in the first location is more regular than in the second. The first location provided higher storage capacity and water depth in front of the dam than the second. The area covered by water and the width of the valley is less than the second. The stability of the dam at the first site could be higher and the cost of construction could cost be less than the second due to these reasons. A comparison was made using the weighted linear combination (WLC) method, which consists of 13 criteria to determine the suitability index (SI) in order to select the best location from the proposed locations. SI proved that the first location is better than the second. The designed dam in the selected site could be cost-efficient to protect the study area from flood risks and harvesting water that can be used in different purposes. This methodology can be applied in different areas for mitigating flash flood risks.

Published: September 2022

Reuse of plastic packaging for food is a promising route to reduce the environmental burdens, but presents particular challenges due to the need to avoid cross-contamination of contents. This study investigates the challenges associated with cleaning and assessing existing recycled PET (rPET) food-to-go (FTG) pack forms and provides recommendations to enable a shift towards reusable food packaging systems. Pack forms were fouled under controlled conditions and washed in accordance published guidelines. Three fouling media were selected to represent food residue typically found in FTG packs. Investigated parameters included fouling type and quality, wash and rinse times, and detergent dosage. Cleanliness was assessed using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) swabbing and the effect on the material properties was studied via tensile testing, IR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The results demonstrate that cleaning effectiveness is dependent on the quantity of fouling, the duration of the wash cycle and the dosing of detergent indicating the potential to optimise parameters for different fouling conditions. It is also concluded that ATP testing is an inappropriate cleanliness assessment method for food packaging due to many opportunities for it to produce false negative readings, its high cost, and slow response. The rPET material properties remained largely unchanged apart from a slight increase in stiffness, however packaging suffered significant deformation.

Published: September 2022

With the development of the global economy, the automobile industry is also developing constantly. In recent years, due to the shortage of environmental energy and other problems, seeking clean energy as the power source of vehicles to replace traditional fossil energy could be one of the measures to reduce environmental pollution. Among them, fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEVs) have been widely studied by researchers for their advantages of high energy efficiency, environmental protection, and long driving range. This paper first introduces the topology of common FCHEVs and then classifies and introduces the latest energy management strategies (EMSs) for FCHEVs. Finally, the future trends of EMSs for FCHEVs are discussed. This paper can be useful in helping researchers better understand the recent research progress of EMSs for FCHEVs.
Dual-Source Bidirectional Quasi-Z-Source Inverter Development for Off-Road Electric Vehicles
Authors: Mande Daouda , Trovão João Pedro F. , Ta Minh C. , Do Thang Van
Published: September 2022

In this paper, a battery pack and a supercapacitor bank hybrid energy storage system (HESS) with a new control configuration is proposed for electric vehicles (EVs). A bidirectional quasi-Z-source inverter (Bq-ZSI) and a bidirectional DC-DC converter are used in the powertrain of the EV. The scheme of the control for the proposed HESS Bq-ZSI using finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) is first deduced to enhance the dynamic performance. With the idea of managing battery degradation mitigation, the fractional-order PI (FOPI) controller is then applied and associated with a filtering technique. The Opal-RT-based real-time simulation is next executed to verify the performance and effectiveness of the proposed HESS control strategy. As a result, the proposed HESS Bq-ZSI with this control scheme provides a quick response to the mechanical load and stable DC link voltage under the studied driving cycle. Moreover, the comparative results also show that the proposed HESS Bq-ZSI equipped with the new control configuration enables the reduction of the root-mean-square value, the mean value, and the standard deviation by 57%, 59%, and 27%, respectively, of the battery current compared to the battery-based inverter. Thus, the proposed HESS Bq-ZSI using these types of controllers can help to improve the EV system performance.

Published: September 2022

The present study examined the relationship between adolescents’ efficacy beliefs (both personal and collective), climate anxiety (as measured with climate worry), group dynamics during an environmental intervention, and behavioral intentions in a setting where their agency was called upon. Data were collected in French-speaking Switzerland during and after four environmental education interventions during which adolescents developed climate-related projects or narratives in small groups. Questionnaire data (N = 150 adolescents) were matched with observations (from group dynamics) and interview data (from teachers). Self- and collective efficacy, climate anxiety, citing group work as a most interesting part of the intervention, and observed group attention were all positively related to stronger pro-environmental intentions. In addition, feeling involved in the group was also indirectly related to pro-environmental behaviors, through climate anxiety. Overall, our results suggest that being worried about climate change has the potential to translate into climate action. In addition, working in small groups has clear benefits for adolescents.

The use of inbred and homozygous sires reduces the share of variability in the biodiversity of the population when it occurs under uncontrolled management, which leads to a decrease in the heritability of the trait. Studying the features of the consequences of inbreeding of sires helps to make their evaluation on the quality of off spring more informative, because as a result of related mating, the genetic structure of the population changes. If a selection with the genotypes of an inbred sire, heterozygous for two aabb loci of body traits, is applied to a certain group of cows, then quantitative traits in the off spring will determine milk productivity. Positive variants should be considered omozygotes, in which dominance is manifested, and heterozygotes, i. e. approximately 70 % of off spring. The probability (frequency) of their appearance is high and one can count on a favorable combination of genes in off spring from inbred and homozygous sires, if the maternal population is heterozygous in terms of physique, which are associated with the level of manifestation of milk productivity. In the breeding herd of Holstein breed, the system of intra-linear selections and crosses of homo- and heterozygous sires revealed the disparity of milk yield increases, the mass fraction of fat and protein in milk in daughters relative to mothers. The superiority in the total yield of milk protein and fat for 305 days of the fi rst lactation of the group of daughters from intraline mating and homozygous sires over mothers was 82,6 (p < 0,01) and 112,9 kg (p < 0,01), respectively. The highest total rank according to the complex of breeding traits was assigned to the daughters of homozygous sires and then according to the increase in the indices of the genetic value of the traits of lactation, the group B was followed by the group derived at the crosses of the lines.

Authors: BADEM Serdar , KAHRAMAN Nail , TANER Temmuz
Published: September 2022

Giriş ve Amaç: Covid-19 hastalığında gelişen Akut Respiratuar Distres Sendromu (ARDS) sonucunda mekanik ventilasyon ihtiyacı ve mortalite oranları artmaktadır. Covid-19 pandemisinde, Ekstrakorporeal Membran Oksijenasyon (ECMO) destek tedavisinin rolü hala tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Bu retroprespektif çalışmada, Covid-19 nedeniyle ARDS gelişen hastalarda uyguladığımız ECMO destek tedavisinin etkinliğini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bursa Şehir Hastanesi Anestezi ve Reanimasyon Yoğun Bakım ünitesinde Mart 2021-Eylül 2021 tarihleri arasında ECMO desteği alan hastalar geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Çalışma süresinde 12 hastada ARDS nedeniyle ECMO destek tedavisi uygulandı.

Bulgular: 12 hastaya veno-venöz ECMO (vv-ECMO) uygulandı. Hastaların dokuzu (%75) erkek, üçü (%25) kadın ve ortalama yaş 49.4 (35-70) olarak bulundu. Hastaların hastaneye yatışından entübasyon için geçen süre ortalama 8.08 (1-23) gündü. Entübasyon gününden ECMO desteğinin başlangıcına kadar geçen süre ortalama 3.08 (1-7) gün ve ECMO desteğinin ortalama süresi 12.3 (1-23) gün olarak bulundu. Sadece 1 hasta (%8,3) dekanüle edildikten sonra taburcu oldu.

Sonuç: ECMO destek tedavisi, Covid-19 hastalığına sekonder gelişen ARDS hastalarında yüksek mortalite ile ilişkilidir. Ancak Covid-19 hastalığında ECMO, erken dönemde uygulandığı zaman hayat kurtarıcı bir destek yöntemidir. ECMO'nun Covid-19 nedeniyle ARDS tablosundaki kritik hastalarda kurtarma tedavisi olarak faydası şu ana kadar sınırlıdır ve bu hasta grubunda kullanımını için daha çok çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Purpose. The novel coronavirus is the recently emerged disease of the respiratory system for which various national and international research agencies are putting joint efforts towards finding a permanent cure. Recently, the vaccine against coronavirus has been designed by various pharmaceutical agencies that are currently undergoing clinical trials. Since vaccines prevent infection by strengthening the defense system of the body, we proposed that yoga and physical exercises could act as an integrative approach to synergize the immunogenic response of the coronavirus vaccine. Yoga and physical exercises are already known to boost immunity against several other infections.

Materials and Methods. In the present review article, we aimed towards exploring the role of yoga and physical exercise as an immunity booster against coronavirus infection. Being India is a low-income country, yoga and physical exercises could be an excellent cost-effective strategy that could be administrated along with vaccine trials to enhance immunity against virus infection.

Results. In the present review, we analyze the studies conducted to date focusing on finding the role of yoga and physical exercises to prevent coronavirus infection. We also described the potential exercises, which are already known to enhance the immunity of the body by particularly targeting respiratory disease.

Conclusion. The present review article will help in providing the health agencies potential targets, which could further be explored to established a standard exercise module to enhance the vaccine-mediated immunity against coronavirus infection.

Between victims and citizens

Published: September 2022

This text tries to reflect on the processes of subjectivation and subjection around the category of victim and citizenship in two very different contexts, such as Spain and Colombia, based on the dialogue between two ethnographic vignettes. Based on the two vignettes and the comparative dialogue that they generate, it is proposed to overcome the binary dichotomy “citizen vs victim” and the hegemonic imaginaries that are usually granted from the legal, philosophical and social literature to each one, to describe the density and ambivalence social that occur in local processes where it is shown that there are going and coming between both categories that should be accounted for.
Traffic Flow Pattern Based Approach to Predict Real Driving Emission Test Routes
Authors: AYDIN Muhammet , SORUŞBAY Cem , ARSLAN Hikmet
Published: September 2022

Due to the poor representation of NEDC emission test, the European Commission put into the force a new procedure, which contains both a laboratory test and a real word driving test. In this new test procedure, even though WLTC replaces NEDC, it is required to test the vehicle under real traffic conditions, which contains urban, rural and highway segments. Due to the new emission regulation, considerable number of academic work focus on the creation of RDE (Real Driving Emission) routes and RDE tests. In this study, it is introduced a new methodology for creating potential RDE routes. The routes, created in MATLAB code by using Istanbul road data containing a half an hour average trip records were used to predict a probable RDE test road. This model creates a number of RDE routes starting from defined coordinates and then analyses all alternative routes with respect to traffic flow rate and RDE boundary conditions identified by the European Commission. The routes obtained using the methodology developed are tested in real life conditions and evaluated according to actual existing traffic conditions. The agreement between the results of the method and the results of the actual driving test is limited in urban road section. However, for rural and highway road sections, there is a significant agreement between the predictions and actual test results.

Authors: PINARER Ozgun
Published: September 2022

By the 2010s, BIM is highly popular research area that gathers researchers from various domains. We tackle the major challenge of BIM and the main barrier for the application of BIM in smart environments: integration of BIM and wireless sensor networks. Existing studies in the literature have various dependencies and propose limited solutions. These solutions are dedicated to specific applications and domains. However, it is highly required to have a generic solution for real time indoor and outdoor environmental monitoring with full integration with the digital model of the building. To fulfill this need, in this study, we propose a novel approach to monitor and fulfill user requirements by a numerical model of the building, a novel framework and a BIM-WSN integrated architecture based on the BIM principles for smart building environments. All the experiments are performed on a real testbed, physical sensor devices deployed on the classrooms of the university building. Such numerical model presents the digital model of the environment by gathering acquired data. Besides, data is gathered on a big data platform where it may be served to various other applications such as machine learning studies.

Dinámica familiar de familias monoparentales rurales de jefatura masculina en Boyacá, Colombia
Authors: Coronado Jhon
Published: September 2022

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar la dinámica familiar de treinta familias monoparentales rurales de jefatura masculina de la provincia de Márquez (Boyacá, Colombia), a partir de un análisis sistémico. La metodología fue de carácter cualitativa acompañada de un diseño de estudio de caso, mediante las técnicas de recolección de información de entrevista semiestructurada con treinta padres seleccionados por muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia, y la técnica auxiliar de observación no participante. El estudio permitió concluir que, la estructura de la dinámica familiar ha estado permeada por los modelos de desarrollo familiar tradicional rural que acogen pautas y prácticas de crianza derivadas del patriarcalismo y algunas nociones de la heteronorma, que gestan dificultades ante la morfogénesis familiar. Sin embargo, se han venido empelando algunas modificaciones y establecimiento de redes de apoyo, que han construido nuevos modelos de interacción adaptados a las necesidades psicoafectivas y demandas en cada subsistema. No obstante, en algunos casos por ese arraigo tradicional e inadaptabilidad, se han constituido un mayor número de demandas ante los recursos previos para hacer frente, acompañado de crisis de transiciones normativas y no normativas, elaborando agendas ocultas, procesos de duelos no resueltos y factores de riesgo en el desarrollo e interacción de la familia en su interior y en los sistemas sociales donde se desempeñan.

Authors: Soriano-Sánchez José , Jiménez-Vázquez David
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this research was to identify through a Systematic Review (SR) the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on student motivation and academic performance. For this purpose, two searches were carried out in scientific electronic resources, such as Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO and Dialnet. In this way, a total of 98 studies were obtained which, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, left a total of 39 papers for review. The results show that EI and the use of ICTs have a positive relationship on motivation and academic performance. The most relevant conclusions suggest that the level of EI favors personal well-being, the improvement of school coexistence and the correct use of ICT. Likewise, the use of digital resources in the educational context increases motivation, academic performance and the achievement of curricular objectives in the different educational stages. However, it is suggested that further research should be carried out to confirm the findings of this paper.
Divenire soggetti. Arendt, Rancière, Balibar
Authors: Possenti Ilaria
Published: September 2022

According to Jacques Rancière, in The Origins of Totalitarianism Hannah Arendt endorses the burkean polemical statement against the French Revolution and the Rights of Man. Thus, in her work, the Rights of Man appear more as more as the rights of the victims - and not as the rights of political subjects. Starting from
her invention of "the right to have rights" and from Etienne Balibar's philosophical considerations on extreme violence and political subjectivity, however, Arendt's position does not appear at odds with Rancière's concerns: the purpose of Arendt's celebrated formula of "the rights to have rights" is not to contemplate the annihilation of the "rightless", but rather to stress the relevance of social relationships for political subjectivization.

Published: September 2022

The metacognitive awareness and critical thinking skills were essential to be subjected to the prospective teachers to regulate their learning and train how to practice writing effectively. This study was aimed at developing the model of the metacognitive writing strategy to improve prospective teachersâ€™ writing skills viewed from critical thinking skills in Indonesian higher education. To attain the research aim, the research and development (R&D) study was employed. The stages of R&D design included defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. To attest to the effectiveness of the metacognitive writing strategy, the researcher used a quasi-experimental design in the form of pre-test and post-test control group design. The prospective teachers were divided into two groups, the experimental and control group. The experimental group was treated using the metacognitive writing strategy, while the control group was taught using the conventional strategy. The instruments of collecting data used the metacognitive writing test and critical thinking test. Then, the data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical devices. The results of the study showed that the metacognitive writing strategy can help prospective teachers to regulate their learning activities in terms of what and how to write in the class. At the top of that, they are able to compose good exposition texts. It was proven that the average score of learners in the experimental class was higher than those on the control class. The research findings were elaborated in the research discussion.

Modern and perspective radio-electronic control systems for spacecraft are considered, which have such features as multifunctionality, high integration of hardware and software, high requirements for reliability and availability, structural redundancy, low-series, etc. A review of existing models and methods for assessing the reliability of hardware and software providing electronic systems at various stages of their life cycle, including at the operational stage. The complexity of a reliable assessment of the reliability of such systems using existing models and methods in an independent approach to assessing the reliability of hardware and software is shown. The task of combining the reliability models of hardware and software for integrated electronic systems in order to more fully take into account their mutual influence in the context of ensuring the reliability of structurally complex systems as a whole has been set. The characteristic of logical and probabilistic methods of system modeling and analysis is given, and, in particular, the capabilities of the general logical and probabilistic method, as having advanced capabilities compared to classical logical and probabilistic methods. It is proposed to use the apparatus of the general logical and probabilistic method for modeling, analysis and a comprehensive assessment of the reliability of integrated electronic systems. The proposed method consists in using a complete set of functions of the algebra of logic, both for a graphical description of the structure of systems and for the analytical recording of the conditions for their operability, as well as the development of methods for moving from logical functions that are a criterion for the functioning of systems to probabilistic functions characterizing the properties of the systems under study. It is shown that for reliable assessment of the reliability of integrated radio-electronic spacecraft control systems, a methodological apparatus is necessary that takes into account both the features of their use and the fact of the joint, interdependent functioning of hardware and software.

Published: September 2022

Classical models of the time and probabilistic automaton constructed using the theory of Markov chains - the system "automaton-random environment" described by the Markov chain are considered. The uncertainty of the probabilistic automaton can be determined by various reasons, including the nondeterminism of the rules of state change of the simulated system, which is one of the most important obstacles in the modeling of multi-agent systems. The developed model is intended for the control program of multi-agent systems, takes into account the stochastic behavior of the environment when used in multi-agent systems. The key differences between the classical stationary random environment and multi-agent systems are presented, including the rationality of agent behavior and the need for cooperation or counteraction. The model does not provide trainable algorithms, their application requires a large sample for training, not all multi-agent systems have enough time to set the necessary statistics and behavior adaptation. Approaches to building the architecture of the agent control program in a multi-agent environment based on the theories of time and probabilistic automata are described, a format for storing models in file storage is proposed. The proposed architecture takes into account the possibility of changing the state of time automata based on the state of probabilistic automata and vice versa. The generalized algorithm of the control program functioning is described. The proposed algorithm makes it possible to implement control programs for multi-agent systems in the case of a finite number of agent states and uses flexible control mechanisms taken from the time machine model. The main results and proposals for further research, including the construction of hierarchical models are presented.
NONLINEAR ESTIMATION STEAMY ONE-PARAMETER REGRESSION IN TERMS OF LACK OF STATISTICS

Published: September 2022

Parametric regression is a mathematical model of a phenomenon in the form of functional dependence between the parameters of this phenomenon, one of which is a dependent variable and independent arguments of a function, and the other is its unknown estimated parameters. Since measurements are often burdened with errors, the construction of the model is carried out in the probabilistic scheme of the problem statement, and the estimates of unknown parameters are carried out by statistical methods using evaluation equations. For a nonlinear regression that is not intrinsically linear, the estimated equations with respect to the estimated parameter are not analytically solved. In this case, iteration methods are used, the effectiveness of which depends on the initial approximation. There is an iterative formula for generalized minimal-contrast estimation of non-linear one-parameter pair (one argument) regression. Its components are the implementations of the estimated regression parameter found analytically or numerically by the regression function at measured values of the dependent variable and the independent argument without taking into account the measurement errors. The average of these realizations with a certain approximation accuracy is a consistent estimate, which was previously proved by the numerical characteristics of the realizations found. This estimate can be used as an initial estimate in an iterative parametric regression estimation formula. In this paper, the implementation of the estimated parameter with approximately zero variance is considered not only as an initial approximation, but also as a self-sufficient estimate, if its accuracy is satisfactory. It is an approximation of the estimated parameter of known accuracy proportional to the cube of the standard deviation of the initial data. The results of the simulation experiment for estimating regression parameters by the proposed approximation method and by means of a consistent assessment are consistent with the theoretical descriptions of the methods. Their comparison is in favor of approximation, if the volume of the original data is less than ten. In this case, the deviation from the true value of the estimated parameter is less than the deviation of the compared state estimate by a maximum of two orders of magnitude (188 times) by at least 1.5 times. Conditions of optimality of the method assumes its use in studies of rare phenomena, as well as in expensive experiments in the broad (economic and humanitarian) sense of the word, he effectiveness of the evaluation method can be anticipated by checking to experience the fulfillment of the conditions of evaluation formation, which depend on the range of values of the argument of the regression function.

The work is devoted to the development of an intelligent control system for geographically distributed communications systems of special purpose. The relevance of the study is caused by the fact that the evolutionary development of controlled telecommunications systems, on the example of special-purpose communication complexes characterized by a changing nature, application conditions in the course of their operation, large coverage and territorial distribution, structural, topological, as well as space-time heterogeneity should be taken into account and correlated with systems for monitoring their technical condition, taking into account the development of basic artificial intelligence technologies, which is conceptually important in the short term. Method of synthesis of intelligent control system characterized by multilevel architecture of construction and functioning, depending on the degree of emergency situation, in mode of express and complete control is presented, which involves use of databases (knowledge) and adaptation of control processes to the effects of destabilizing factors. The work shows the approach to processes of proactive inspection of parameters of objects, consists in adaptive adjustment of preventive tolerances for checked parameters and use of adaptive mechanisms for polling intelligent sensors based on polling models; taking into account the correlation of actuation of a group of sensors within the control object in emergency situations and contributing to an increase in the speed of recording and transmitting the alarm signal, and reducing redundancy of measurement information in the measurement path of the monitoring system. As a result of the synthesis of a multilevel intelligent control system, the system architecture is proposed, which allows determining the most rational ratio of measuring channels (intelligent sensors, analog-to-digital converters, sampling and storage devices), taking into account the noise immunity and throughput of measuring paths, as well as the required number of communication channels. The multi-level monitoring system architecture allows analysis of measuring information (alarms) at the sensor level of the system and online analysis of streaming data (telemetry messages) to quickly detect cases of possible failures, predict the residual resource of equipment of special-purpose communication systems.
