Method for synthesis: The I.D.E.A. and C.I.D. methods
Authors: Doxiadis C. A.
Published: December 2021

An extract from the article:

"After defining the frame which prepares the stage of synthesis we have to establish the process by which we will proceed from one stage to another in order to:

cover the whole area in the proper time period;

cover all aspects of our problem at the right time and at the right scale and details;

create as tightly knit a system of answers to our problems as possible.

To achieve this we have developed the Isolation of Dimensions and Elimination of Alternatives (I.D.E.A.) Method, combined with the Continuously Increasing Dimensionality (C.I.D.) Method. This method had been under development for years, but was presented for the first time in 1966 when it was implemented in the study of the Developing Urban Detroit Area (UDA)."

Fréquence des rétractations d’articles scientifiques : ce que les études nous apprennent en éducation, sciences humaines et sciences sociales
Authors: Roy-Vallières Maude
Published: December 2021

Les rétractations d’articles sont le dernier recours de la science pour assurer sa crédibilité. Cette étude souhaite identifier les raisons qui poussent les chercheurs à investiguer les rétractations dans leur champ de recherche. Pour ce faire, une revue de littérature et une analyse qualitative de celle-ci sont menées. Les résultats montrent que 70 % des études sur les rétractations ont été menées dans le domaine des sciences naturelles et médicales. Huit raisons de s’y intéresser sont identifiées, les plus fréquentes étant l’impact négatif sur la recherche et la pratique, la haute médiatisation des cas de fraude et le nombre annuel élevé de publications. Les résultats contribuent à justifier la prévalence de ces études en sciences naturelles et médicales, mais soulèvent la nécessité de réaliser des études supplémentaires et d’établir des bases de données compréhensives dans les autres champs de recherche pour assurer la qualité de la recherche scientifique.

Integrated Aquaculture: Road ahead for sustainable rural development in Meghalaya
Authors:   2Department of Fishery Science, St. Anthony’s College  Shillong-793001, Meghalaya, India, Nath Rupak , Kharbuli S M , Bhuyan R N
Published: December 2021

The unitary concept of producing crop is gradually changing to integrated system, with a view to integrate different farming components viz. fishery, live stock, horticulture to produce fish, eggs, meat and vegetables from the same farm. The major benefit of integrated system is utilization of resources effectively and recycling of waste within the farm and thus, ultimately maintaining ecological balance. The state Meghalaya, located in the North Eastern India, is characterized by hills and plateaus interspersed with valley lands in the foot hills. People of Meghalaya are predominantly dependent on agriculture and allied sector. Fish, a very valuable source of protein, comprises an important part of the diet of local tribal people. As local wild fish supply from natural water bodies diminishing gradually and relatively limited aquaculture, fish production in the state is insufficient to satisfy the present demand of fish. The present fish production in the state is 4.77 thousand tons against the demand estimated 30 thousand tons per annum. The difference between demand and production of fish is providing a market opportunity for fish producers in the state. The present study categorized integrated aquaculture as an important and promising enterprise for rural farming sectors of Meghalaya to maximize their farm income, providing nutritional security and in general to achieve sustainable development in the rural economy.
Prediction of tropical cyclones by numerical models A review
Authors: PRASAD K.
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT. This paper contains a review of some past and recent developments in cyclone track prediction problem by dynamical models. The early attempts aimed at predicting tropical cyclone motion by using simple barotropic models based on vertically integrated vorticity tendency equation. Barotropic models are still used operationally in some centres due to their simplicity. However, current emphasis is on advanced primitive equation models incorporating physical processes, like cumulus convection, which are necessary to account for a major component of the cyclone movement. An important aspect of cyclone prediction by dynamical models is prescription of a correctly analysed synthetic vortex in the initial fields for running a forecast model. Several approaches developed by various groups for generating synthetic vortex are discussed. Examples of some cases of track prediction by limited area model in IMD and by global models are illustrated.

Authors: Buntin Dmitriy , Maslov Anatoliy , Chimytov Timur , Shiplyuk Aleksandr
Published: December 2021

Experimental investigation of nonlinear stage of the transition to turbulence in a hypersonic boundary layer is presented. The experiments were carried out in a hypersonic wind tunnel T-326 at the Institute of theoretical and applied mechanics SB RAS. The model was a sharp cone with porous surface. Using the statistical analysis of the signals obtained by means of hot-wire it was shown that skewness and kurtosis distribution in a boundary layer on both solid and porous surface are in a qualitative agreement. At the same time the growing of skewness and kurtosis on a porous surface was shown. Analysis of mean voltage and rms voltage pulsation profiles of the hot-wire sensors showed that there is a delay of the laminar-turbulent transition on a porous surface.

Published: December 2021

We link the reciprocity model of Falk and Fischbacher (2006) with the theory of normative social behavior to study how financial incentives crowd out intrinsic motivation in both the short and long runs. Using data from a lab-based repeated public goods game, we find strong evidence in support of the reciprocity model and crowding out effects both when the payment is in place and after it stops. When the payment program is in place, subjects become less sensitive to reciprocity, perceive less kindness in others’ contributions, and care less about others’ welfare. The overall decrease in motivation to reciprocate reduces the effectiveness of the payment program by almost 50%. About 20% of the crowding out effect persists after the payment stops, and the reciprocity mechanism explains over three quarters of the long-run crowding out effect.

Authors: Kośmider Tomasz , Trocha Jerzy
Published: December 2021

The article discusses the legal obligations of heads of units included in the register of areas, facilities and devices subject to mandatory protection in the voivodeship. The obligation of the head of the unit to provide physical or technical protection of an object. Significant items for state security with the use of internal security services or personal and property protection agencies – that is often criticized. However, it should be remembered that the cooperation of services, guards and inspections with the private sector is necessary to obtain an appropriate level of security.
In addition, practical ways to ensure the safety of areas, facilities and devices subject to mandatory protection are also presented. The current technological development does not reduce the protection of the facility only to physical protection, allowing the use of modern technical security systems in order to support the activities of specialized employees of armed security formations. Due to the above, the authors described the operation of selected technical security systems in protected facilities.

Role of Hypoxia on Growth and Differentiation of Human Adipose Derived Stem Cells Grown on Silk Fibroin Scaffold Induced by Platelet Rich Plasma

Published: December 2021

Previous research has proven that 10% platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can enhance growth and differentiation of human adipose derived stem cells (hADSC) grown on silk fibroin scaffold into chondrocytes. A low oxygen concentration (hypoxia) condition is an important factor that potentially affects the ability of hADSC to grow and differentiate. The objective of this research was to analyze the difference in growth and differentiation capacity of hADSC grown on salt leached silk fibroin scaffold supplemented by 10% PRP under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. The growth capacity of the hADSC was determined by MTT assay and differentiation was tested using glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content analysis, while chondrocyte markers were visualized with the immunocytochemistry (ICC) method. This research observed hADSC proliferation under normoxic and hypoxic conditions for 21 days. Visualization of type 2 collagen showed that it was more abundant under hypoxia compared to normoxia.  HIF-1α was only detected in the hADSC cultured in hypoxic conditions. In conclusion, culture under hypoxic conditions increases the capacity of hADSC to grow and differentiate into chondrocytes. This is the first study that has shown that hypoxia is able to enhance the proliferation and differentiation of hADSC grown on 3D salt leached silk fibroin scaffold supplemented by 10% PRP.
Bærekraft i lærerutdanningen – å gi mening til frustrasjon og kompleksitet
Authors: Knain Erik , Ødegaard Marianne , Kvamme Ole Andreas , Sæther Elin
Published: December 2021

Barn og unge vokser i dag opp til et liv med klimakrise og miljøkrise. Dette må skolen forholde seg til, og lærerutdannere må reflektere over hvorvidt vi forbereder våre studenter godt nok til denne oppgaven. Denne artikkelen er en studie av innføringen av bærekraftdidaktikk i en større lærerutdanningsinstitusjon i Norge. Intervensjonen varte én uke og ble gjennomført innenfor rammene av eksisterende strukturer, prosesser og lokale ressurser. Vi utforsker hvilke muligheter, spenninger og hindringer som viser seg i intervensjonen med henblikk på å videreutvikle lærerutdanningen i møte med bære­kraftutfordringene. Analysene er særlig orientert mot å få fram studentstemmer, med et empirisk materiale som består av gruppeintervjuer, spørreundersøkelser og videopptak av gruppearbeid. Lærerstudentene som deltok måtte forholde seg til kompleksitet med hensyn til både tverrfaglighet og bærekraft. Autentisitet var også et anliggende som trådte fram. Noen av studentene stilte spørsmål ved hvorvidt det tverrfaglige arbeidet i intervensjonen reflekterte bærekraftundervisningen i dagens skole. Studien indikerer at i lærerutdanningsprogrammer som vil romme både tverrfaglighet og bærekraft, er det nødvendig med strukturelle endringer. Hvis lærerstudentene er blitt fortrolige med tverrfaglige tilnærminger, vil de også bedre være i stand til å møte kompleksiteten forbundet med bærekraft som et ontologisk, normativt og politiske anliggende. Vårt forsøk på å innføre bærekraftdidaktikk i våre lærerutdanningsprogrammer har ikke ført til betydelige endringer, og bærekraftdidaktikk er fortsatt et begrenset perspektiv i disse programmene. Men gitt utfordringene som global oppvarming og tap av biologisk mangfold representerer, er det behov for raskt å få på plass større endringer.
RELIABILITY OF DETERIORATED MARINE STRUCTURES BASED ON MEASURED DATA
Authors: Garbatov Y , Guedes Soares C
Published: December 2021

Reliability assessment of a corroded deck of a tanker ship subjected to non-linear general corrosion wastage is performed, accounting for an initial period without corrosion due to the presence of a corrosion protection system, and a non-linear increase in wastage up to a steady state value. The reliability model is based on the analysis of corrosion depth data. Two types of uncertainties are accounted for. The first one is related to the corrosion degradation trend as a function of time, which is identified by a sequence independent data analysis. The second uncertainty is related to the variation of the corrosion degradation around its trend, which is identified as a stochastic process, and is defined based on the time series analysis. The time series determines the autocorrelation and spectral density functions of the stochastic process applying the Fast Fourier transform. The reliability estimates with respect to a corroded deck of cargo tank of a tanker ship is analysed by a time variant formulation and the effect of inspections is also incorporated employing the Bayesian updating formulation.
INTERVAL-VALUED INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY TOPSIS-BASED MODEL FOR TROUBLESHOOTING MARINE DIESEL ENGINE AUXILIARY SYSTEM
Authors: Aikhuele D O , Turan F M , Odofin S M , Ansah R H
Published: December 2021

In this paper, we present an interval-valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS model, which is based on an improved score function for detecting failure in a marine diesel engine auxiliary system, using groups of experts’ opinions to detect the root cause of failure in the engine system and the area most affected by failures in the diesel engine. The improved score function has been used for the computation of the separation measures from the intuitionistic fuzzy positive ideal solution (IFPIS) and intuitionistic fuzzy negative ideal solution (IFNIS) of alternatives while the criteria weight have been determined using an intuitionistic fuzzy entropy. The study is aimed at providing an alternative method for the identification and analysis of failure modes in engine systems. The results from the study show that although detection of failures in Engines is quite difficult to identify due to the dependency of the engine systems on each other, however using intuitionistic fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method the faults/failure can easily be diagnosed.
AN ADVANCED PROCEDURE FOR THE QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT OF OFFSHORE INSTALLATIONS IN EXPLOSIONS
Authors: Kim S J , Sohn J M , Paik J K
Published: December 2021

Hydrocarbon explosion and fire are typical accidents in the offshore oil and gas industry, sometimes with catastrophic consequences such as casualties, property damage and pollution. Successful engineering and design should meet both functional requirements associated with operability in normal conditions and health, safety, environmental and ergonomics (HSE&E) requirements associated with accidental and extreme conditions. A risk-based approach is best for successful design and engineering to meet HSE&E requirements. This study aimed to develop an advanced procedure for assessing the quantitative risk of offshore installations in explosions. Unlike existing industry practices based on prescriptive rules or qualitative approaches, the proposed procedure uses an entirely probabilistic approach. The procedure starts with probabilistic selection of accident scenarios. As the defining components of risk, both the frequency and consequences associated with selected accident scenarios are computed using the most refined technologies. Probabilistic technology is then applied to establish the relationship between the probability of exceedance and the physical values of the accident. Acceptance risk criteria can be applied to define the nominal values of design and/or level of risk. To validate and demonstrate the applicability of the proposed procedure, an example of its application to topside structures of an FPSO unit subjected to hydrocarbon explosions is detailed. The conclusions and insights obtained are documented.
