Exploring the Role of Urbanization and Wind on the Distribution of Extreme Rainfall by Utilizing High Spatiotemporal Radar Rainfall Product: A Dallas Fort-Worth Case Study
Authors: Ahmad Junaid , Eisma Jessica
Published: January 2023

Rapid urbanization has caused extensive land use changes, which may
impact the local climatology and trigger extreme rainfall events. Wind,
another important factor in rainfall, has been examined to determine its
role in generating extreme rainfall in conjunction with land use
changes. This study evaluates the variability of extreme rainfall in the
Dallas Fort-Worth (DFW) area. The study area has been divided into 256
equal sized grids and grouped into 4 clusters. Spatial Synoptic
Classification (SSC) technique has been adopted to select days with
benign synoptic activity so that the role of large-scale weather
patterns is reduced. Extreme rainfall days are defined as those
exceeding the 95th percentile threshold of the daily rainfall observed
at the DFW airport. After filtering data based on SSC and extreme
rainfall criteria, 114 days are selected for the study period from
2000-2016. The Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor rainfall product has been used
to examine the variability of extreme rainfall in grids and clusters.
The variation in extreme rainfall for different land covers (e.g., high,
medium, and low intensity developed land, and open space) has also been
examined. The results reveal that the “Urban Core” cluster receives
maximum rainfall across the study period. Also, the difference in
cumulative maximum rainfall between highly urbanized grids and the
lowest urbanized grid is highest in the “Urban Core” cluster. The grid
with the highest percentage of “High intensity developed land”
received the most rainfall. The wind regime associated with the most
rainfall across the study period is from the South-West. Less urbanized
grids located downwind of the highest urbanized grids received
relatively more rainfall. Urbanization and the magnitude of extreme
rainfall is proportional in most of the grids. The role of the Urban
Heat Island will also be examined to determine its impact on extreme
rainfall variability.
A Study on the Welfare Blind Spot Management System and Local Government Support
Authors:   Korean Academy of Integrated Care Management, Choi Jung-Eun , Kim Yun-Young
Published: January 2023

In the wake of the ‘Songpa Three Mothers and Daughters’ incident in 2014, Korea has established a support system to preemptively search for those in the welfare blind spot. The central government operated a predictive model of the welfare blind spot excavation and management system to identify potential risk targets, and local governments built systems to support such targets. However, different support measures have been implemented at different local units. There has been no discussion on what kind of response is appropriate at the national level, and this study aims to fill this gap as follows: First, focus group interviews (FGIs) with experts on welfare blind spots by region were held twice in April and May 2022 to select criteria for evaluating support by region. Based on these results, we divided cities into large cities, small towns, and rural areas; selected six regions; and interviewed a total of 30 civil servants in charge of welfare blind spots from July to August 2022. This process confirmed that the support for welfare blind spots at the regional level differed depending on the size of each region, the presence or absence of public welfare projects of local governments, and the linkage with private resources. Based on these results, we would like to propose an effective regional support plan to resolve welfare blind spots.

Authors:   The Korea Associantion For Early Childhood Education Administration, Kim Ye-Won , Yeom Ji-Sook
Published: January 2023

This study is to investigate the gender construction in the children’s play. Data collection was completed through participant observation, journal writing, and informal conversation with children and their teacher in a kindergarten classroom of 4-year-olds for 5 months. The findings are as follows. First of all, the children constructed a typical gender, playing with gender-based play themes and toys. The children also constructed an atypical gender, escaping from gender-based play themes and toys by themselves although there was no teacher’s intervention in play. This study suggested that the teacher recognize children as active agents who are capable of constructing gender with their own free will and provide opportunities and rich environments for children to play in various contexts. The findings of this study will contribute to expanding our understanding of gender for children, building equal and safe classrooms where diverse femininity and masculinity coexist, and stopping the reproduction of stereotyped gender ideas.

Published: January 2023

A smart city presupposes an innovative society that connects technologies to people, contributing to the development of cities. It implies an approach in which knowledge works as a strategic tool to design efficient and sustainable supply of goods and services to the community. Based on systematic literature review, this research’s objective was to analyze the role of innovation in the sustainable development of smart cities and discuss the research gaps and trends on the topic. The analyzed documents were evaluated in terms of the number of annual publications, the regional mapping of publications, and areas of interest. A relationship network was drawn up with the keywords established by the authors in order to identify research trends and opportunities. Even though we are dealing with a recent topic, the systematic review showed that there are significant important approaches in the field of sustainability, but still little explored, as in the case of studies focused on smart health and governance of urban centers. On the other hand, studies related to the use of "big data" and sustainable development for cities stand out, indicating a possible trend in the scientific area. The increase of scientific interest in the topic was noticed in the analysis, not only because of the growing number of publications, but also because of the varied new research approaching subjects not yet explored.

Authors: Arulrajah Kugarajah , Kölbel Tilo , Panuccio Giuseppe , Gandet Thomas , Rohlffs Fiona
Published: January 2023

Background: The study evaluates a novel technique using oxygen measurements to indirectly evaluate the behavior of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the residual gas released by thoracic stent-grafts and to better understand the mechanism of the CO2 flushing technique. Methods: Ten Zenith TX2 ProForm thoracic stent-grafts (ZDEG-PT-34-199-PF, Cook Medical, Bjæverskov, Denmark) were equally divided into 2 groups (Group A and B). Group A was flushed with 60 ml of 0.9% saline. Group B was flushed with 100% carbon dioxide gas followed by 60 ml of 0.9% saline. The stent-grafts were deployed into a plastic tube that was placed and fixated to the bottom of a translucent container filled with water to collect the residual air released by the stent-grafts. Oxygen (O2) concentration and gas volume were measured in the released gas. Results: The oxygen concentration was significant (p<0.001) lower after additional carbon dioxide flush compared to standard flush (18.5% vs 19.6%). Furthermore, the absolute oxygen volume was significantly lower after additional carbon dioxide flush than without (0.18 ml vs 0.32 ml, p=0.041). The total amount of released gas appeared lower with carbon dioxide flush than without (0.98 ml vs 1.65, P=0.058). Conclusions: CO2 absorption into saline and replacement of room air by CO2 inside the stent-graft may lead to a reduction of released gas during stent-graft deployment in an experimental setting.

Published: January 2023

A language reflects the culture of the speakers. The use of language on social media platforms without an editor creates several issues, one of which is that it can spiral out of control. The goal of this research is to categorize and analyze expressive speech acts of praise and criticism in BBC Arabic Instagram comments. This is a descriptive-qualitative study with data sources in the form of netizen comments on BBC Arabic between January and February. There are two hundred data in total and they were obtained using a purposive sample technique. According to the findings of this research, many users of social media express criticism more often than they express praise or appreciation, with a ratio of 87:13. Being outspoken in their criticism will become the character and culture of social media users over time. This is clearly not in line with Arab culture, where Islam is the dominant religion. As a result, that was expected that research based on this model will be able to influence how language is used on social media.

The Effectiveness of Remediation Learning Strategy in Reducing Misconceptions on Chemistry: A Systematic Review
Authors: Islamiyah Kafita Krisnatul , Rahayu Sri , Dasna I Wayan
Published: January 2023

Misconceptions are defined as wrong ideas or views of a person's concept different from the scientific concepts formulated by experts in their field. It must be reduced immediately so as not to hinder the process of understanding the next interconnected matter. Reducing students' misconceptions can be done through remedial learning. This study aimed to describe the phase in processing information that causes students' misconceptions based on learning theory, describe the implementation of an effective remedial learning strategy to reduce misconceptions in chemistry, and describe learning media that can be integrated into remedial learning in chemistry. The method used in this study was the systematic literature review (SLR) by searching articles on the electronics journal database. The database used in this study was ERIC, Google Scholar, and Sinta from 2011 to 2021. Seventeen articles were found in 14 indexed journals (Scopus and Sinta). The data was analyzed by collecting the related articles, reducing them based on the research focus, displaying the data, and concluding. The result showed that students build their understanding through assimilation and accommodation. The disequilibrium between both of these aspects causes a misconception. It must be reduced immediately through remedial learning. Six remedial learning strategies can reduce misconceptions in chemistry effectively, i.e., POE, Guided Inquiry, MRCD, Ember, Conceptual Learning, and ECIRR. This effectiveness is due to the phase of creating cognitive conflict. Integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) interactive media in implementing remedial learning strategies has a positive impact because interactive media can visualize abstract concepts. Hence, the cognitive accommodation phase is more effective.

The experimental class implemented the Time Token Arends model, and the control class implemented the conventional model (lecturing and questions and answers). The researchers performed the hypothesis testing using the t-test. Based on the pretest and posttest results, the mean score of the experimental class was higher than the control class. The pretest means a score of the experimental class was 37 and the mean score of the control class was 36. Furthermore, the posttest means a score of the experimental class was 79, and the control class was 64. The mean scores difference indicated a significant effect of the Time Token Arends learning model. The results were supported by the tobserved value greater than the tcritical value, namely 22.02 greater than 1.67. Therefore, H0 was rejected, and Ha was accepted. The percentage of student communication increased significantly after the Time Token Arends model was applied. Future researchers need to develop appropriate instruments to measure scientific communication and student learning outcomes during the current pandemic. During the coupons distribution session, it is necessary to ensure that all students receive coupons without exception.

This research aimed to find out how the development, feasibility, and effectiveness of android-based guidance and counseling primary service media are used to increase the conceptual understanding of the reproductive system and adolescents sexual behavior during the post-pandemic period. The researchers employed the Borg and Gall’s concept by involving nine stages starting from potential and problem mapping, data collection, product design, design validation, design revision, product trial, product revision, trial use, and product revisions. The research instruments were media expert validation questionnaires, linguists, material experts, student and educator response questionnaires, concept understanding tests, and documentation. The sample used in the limited-scale test was 10 students, while in the wide-scale test there were 76 students. Based on the results of the research on the feasibility test of android-based primary service media on the conceptual understanding of the reproductive system and adolescents sexual behavior, the percentage of material experts was 82%, linguists was 82 %, and media experts was 84 %, all in the very decent category. The results of the questionnaire respondents were very positive in which it was seen from the results of the teacher's response questionnaire that was 94 % and 85 % of students with ‘very interesting’ criteria. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the media can be seen from the average N-gain of the experimental class 0.58 (moderate) and N-gain of the control class 0.57 (moderate). Independent t-test with a sig 2-tailed 0.00 was less than 0.05 (alpha). Thus, it is concluded that the android can increase the conceptual understanding of the reproductive system and adolescents sexual behavior.
Emergency care practitioners’ views on the use of ultrasound in pre-hospital acute care settings
Authors: Vincent-Lambert Craig , Marx Ernest , van Nugteren Benjamin
Published: January 2023

Background: Ultrasound may assist in the detection of life-threatening conditions and evolving pathologies. South African emergency care practitioners (ECPs) working in pre-hospital contexts have historically not used ultrasound to diagnose and treat patients. However, recently published clinical practice guidelines from the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) suggest that ultrasound be considered as an adjunct in the provision of pre-hospital emergency care. Our study investigated ECPs’ views and perceptions of introducing ultrasound to their scope of practice.
Development, survival, and reproduction of Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) feeding on fresh versus frozen eggs of Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot is an important biocontrol agent for controlling spider mites (Tetranychus spp). Rearing P. persimilis is relatively expensive due to the need to raise spider mites (e.g. Tetranychus urticae Koch), as prey, on live plants. Frozen eggs of T. urticae can be easily stored and used as a potential feed for laboratory rearing of P. persimilis. This study investigated the performance of frozen T. urticae eggs compared with fresh eggs as food for rearing P. persimilis. Under laboratory conditions, the survival, immature development, consumption, and oviposition of P. persimilis given frozen or fresh T. urticae eggs were observed. The influence of the dietary experience of P. persimilis females (i.e. fed on frozen or fresh spider mite eggs) on offspring’s development and consumption was also examined. The survival and development of P. persimilis were not affected by the different diets. However, individuals fed on frozen T. urticae eggs had a reduced oviposition rate and an increased consumption compared with those given fresh eggs. The maternal dietary experience did not affect the development and consumption of P. persimilis. As the nutritional quality of T. urticae eggs is likely reduced during freezing, the frozen eggs of T. urticae may be inadequate compared with fresh eggs in rearing P. persimilis. Nevertheless, frozen eggs have the potential as supplementary food for P. persimilis. Future studies can investigate the performance of frozen T. urticae eggs on the lifespan and lifetime fecundity and in maintaining a population of P. persimilis in the field.
Translating Poetry – An Impossible Task?
Authors: Ajtony Zsuzsanna
Published: January 2023

Poetry is often claimed to be untranslatable. More specifically, rendering light verse, i.e. poetic humour in another language poses serious challenges for the translator to encounter. In spite of these alleged obstacles, T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats has been translated and lately retranslated into Hungarian in the form of inventive and jocular texts for children. After summarizing the theoretical aspects of poetry translation and providing a brief overview of Eliot’s collection of poems about cats, the present study aims to approach the English source text by highlighting its foregrounded elements: titles, names, and cultural realia and their Hungarian counterparts in the latest translation by Attila Havasi and Dániel Varró.
Speaking Properly: Language Ideologies of Hungarian Interpreters from Transylvania
Authors: Fazakas Noémi
Published: January 2023

The paper presents the results of a research project that aimed to identify the explicit and implicit language ideologies of a group of Hungarian interpreters from Transylvania or of Transylvanian origin, now living and working in Romania and in Hungary. During the online focus group meetings, the participants reflected on their own professional and linguistic practices and experiences, talking about their stories of individual language socialization and providing detailed career narratives. The study seeks to identify the interpreters’ explicit and implicit language ideologies in the context of their working languages, their attitudes towards these languages, towards the standard and the non-standard varieties, as well as their experiences connected to these languages in the light of the quality assurance expectations formulated regarding their activities as professional language service providers.
Spotting Acronyms and Initialisms with the Help of Informatics
Authors: Imre Attila
Published: January 2023

The growing popularity of streaming services has led to innumerable audiovisual material available for the audience. As movies, documentaries, or TV shows are part of the entertainment industry, they aim at reaching viewers worldwide with the help of dubbed and subtitled versions. Our aim is to collect the acronyms used in the transcripts/subtitles of several American political TV shows (24, Designated Survivor, House of Cards, and The West Wing) and analyse their translated versions into Hungarian. However, the strenuous activity of opening each subtitle file one by one and browsing through them to spot and collect the acronyms and initialisms would result in countless mouse clicks. Hence, a specific software (SRT Manager) was designed to speed up the process. As the majority of definitions regarding acronyms and initialisms focus on the fact that they result from the combination of at least two capital letters, once the software gets the input (multiple subtitle files of entire seasons), it provides all the consecutive two- or more capital letter instances (with or without periods) found in the raw data, such as AA or A.A. Further statistical data (the source file of each instance, counting all unique values and numbering occurrences, and adding sample lines from the subtitle) also saves a lot of time and energy, as it can easily be exported to spreadsheet programs for further data analysis.
