Authors: Coni Alice , Mellone Sabato , Colpo Marco , Guralnik Jack M. , Patel Kushang V. , Bandinelli Stefania , Chiari Lorenzo
Published: May 2019

Physical capability (PC) is conventionally evaluated through performance-based clinical assessments. We aimed to transform a battery of sensor-based functional tests into a clinically applicable assessment tool. We used Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to uncover the underlying latent structure within sensor-based measures obtained in a population-based study. Three hundred four community-dwelling older adults (163 females, 80.9 ± 6.4 years), underwent three functional tests (Quiet Stand, QS, 7-meter Walk, 7MW and Chair Stand, CST) wearing a smartphone at the lower back. Instrumented tests provided 73 sensor-based measures, out of which EFA identified a fifteen-factor model. A priori knowledge and the associations with health-related measures supported the functional interpretation and construct validity analysis of the factors, and provided the basis for developing a conceptual model of PC. For example, the “Walking Impairment” domain obtained from the 7MW test was significantly associated with measures of leg muscle power, gait speed, and overall lower extremity function. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a battery of functional tests, instrumented through a smartphone, is used for outlining a sensor-based conceptual model, which could be suitable for assessing PC in older adults and tracking its changes over time.
Automated Measurement and Control of Germination Paper Water Content

Published: May 2019

Germination paper (GP) is used as a growth substrate in plant development studies. Current studies bear two limitations: (1) The actual GP water content and variations in GP water content are neglected. (2) Existing irrigation methods either maintain the GP water content at fully sufficient or at a constant deficit. Variation of the intensity of water deficit over time for plants grown on GP is not directly achievable using these methods. In this contribution, a new measurement and control approach was presented. As a first step, a more precise measurement of water content was realized by employing the discharging process of capacitors to determine the electrical resistance of GP, which is related to the water content. A Kalman filter using an evapotranspiration model in combination with experimental data was used to refine the measurements, serving as the input for a model predictive controller (MPC). The MPC was used to improve the dynamics of the irrigation amount to more precisely achieve the required water content for regulated water uptake in plant studies. This is important in studies involving deficit irrigation. The novel method described was capable of increasing the accuracy of GP water content control. As a first step, the measurement system achieved an improved accuracy of 0.22 g/g. The application of a MPC for water content control based on the improved measurement results in an overall control accuracy was 0.09 g/g. This method offers a new approach, allowing the use of GP for studies with varying water content. This addressed the limitations of existing plant growth studies and allowed the prospection of dependencies between dynamic water deficit and plant development using GP as a growth substrate for research studies.
IMU Consensus Exception Detection with Dynamic Time Warping—A Comparative Approach
Authors: Yang Chan-Yun , Chen Pei-Yu , Wen Te-Jen , Jan Gene Eu
Published: May 2019

A dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm has been suggested for the purpose of devising a motion-sensitive microelectronic system for the realization of remote motion abnormality detection. In combination with an inertial measurement unit (IMU), the algorithm is potentially applicable for remotely monitoring patients who are at risk of certain exceptional motions. The fixed interval signal sampling mechanism has normally been adopted when devising motion detection systems; however, dynamically capturing the particular motion patterns from the IMU motion sensor can be difficult. To this end, the DTW algorithm, as a kind of nonlinear pattern-matching approach, is able to optimally align motion signal sequences tending towards time-varying or speed-varying expressions, which is especially suitable to capturing exceptional motions. Thus, this paper evaluated this kind of abnormality detection using the proposed DTW algorithm on the basis of its theoretical fundamentals to significantly enhance the viability of the methodology. To validate the methodological viability, an artificial neural network (ANN) framework was intentionally introduced for performance comparison. By incorporating two types of designated preprocessors, i.e., a DFT interpolation preprocessor and a convolutional preprocessor, to equalize the unequal lengths of the matching sequences, two kinds of ANN frameworks were enumerated to compare the potential applicability. The comparison eventually confirmed that the direct template-matching DTW is excellent in practical application for the detection of time-varying or speed-varying abnormality, and reliably captures the consensus exceptions.
A Data-Driven Approach to Development of a Taxonomy Framework for Triple Bottom Line Metrics
Authors: Vieira Fátima L. , Vieira Paulo A. , Coelho Denis A.
Published: May 2019

This paper proposes a data-driven approach to develop a taxonomy in a data structure on list for triple bottom line (TBL) metrics. The approach is built from the authors reflection on the subject and review of the literature about TBL. The envisaged taxonomy framework grid to be developed through this approach will enable existing metrics to be classified, grouped, and standardized, as well as detect the need for further metrics development in uncovered domains and applications. The approach reported aims at developing a taxonomy structure that can be seen as a bi-dimensional table focusing on feature interrogations and characterizing answers, which will be the basis on which the taxonomy can then be developed. The interrogations column is designed as the stack of the TBL metrics features: What type of metric is it (qualitative, quantitative, or hybrid)? What is the level of complexity of the problems where it is used? What standards does it follow? How is the measurement made, and what are the techniques that it uses? In what kinds of problems, subjects, and domains is the metric used? How is the metric validated? What is the method used in its calculation? The column of characterizing answers results from a categorization of the range of types of answers to the feature interrogations. The approach reported in this paper is based on a screening tool that searches and analyzes information both within abstracts and full-text journal papers. The vision for this future taxonomy is that it will enable locating for any specific context, discern what TBL metrics are used in that context or similar contexts, or whether there is a lack of developed metrics. This meta knowledge will enable a conscious decision to be made between creating a new metric or using one of those that already exists. In this latter case, it would also make it possible to choose, among several metrics, the one that is most appropriate to the context at hand. In addition, this future framework will ease new future literature revisions, when these are viewed as updates of this envisaged taxonomy. This would allow creating a dynamic taxonomy for TBL metrics. This paper presents a computational approach to develop such taxonomy, and reports on the initial steps taken in that direction, by creating a taxonomy framework grid with a computational approach.
An Analysis of the Factors Influencing the Sustainable Use Intention of Urban Shared Bicycles in China
Authors: Shao Peng , Liang Jie
Published: May 2019

Bicycle sharing services have played an active role in building a green travel system in China, but this trend has also caused problems, such as users arbitrarily stopping on the roads or the destruction of shared bicycles. Based on data collected by means of a survey that we designed, a regression analysis is used to test the influence of use perception and consumer characteristics on the intention to sustainably use shared bicycles by measuring the intention to: continue using the service, park the bicycles in an orderly manner, and care and protect the bicycles. We find that: (1) perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, consumer innovation, and standardized use behavior have a significantly positive impact on the intention to continue using and park shared bicycles in an orderly manner; (2) perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and consumer innovation also have a significantly positive impact on the intention to care and protect shared bicycles; and, (3) standardized use behavior has no significant impact on the intention to care and protect shared bicycles. Moreover, urban air quality plays a positive regulatory role in the relationship of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and consumer innovation with the intention to sustainably use the service.
Evaluating and Planning Green Infrastructure: A Strategic Perspective for Sustainability and Resilience
Authors: Voghera Angioletta , Giudice Benedetta
Published: May 2019

In the light of the current changing global scenarios, green infrastructure is obtaining increasing relevance in planning policies, especially due to its ecological, environmental and social components which contribute to pursuing sustainable and resilient planning and designing of cities and territories. The issue of green infrastructure is framed within the conceptual contexts of sustainability and resilience, which are described through the analysis of their common aspects and differences with a particular focus on planning elements. In particular, the paper uses two distinct case studies of green infrastructure as representative: the green infrastructure of the Region Languedoc-Roussillon in France and the one of the Province of Turin in Italy. The analysis of two case studies focuses on the evaluation process carried on about the social-ecological system and describes the methodologies and the social-ecological indicators used to define the green infrastructure network. We related these indicators to their possible contribution to the measurement of sustainability and resilience. The analysis of this relationship led us to outline some conclusive considerations on the complex role of the design of green infrastructure with reference to sustainability and resilience.

Published: May 2019

The effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on product and technological innovation have been thoroughly examined. However, the relationship between CSR and service innovation remains largely unexplored. We examined the relationship between community and environmental CSR and service innovation performance, with further exploration of the mediating mechanism between them. Based on social capital and dynamic capability theory, we developed a model revealing that CSR improves the performance of service innovation through an advanced dynamic capability to address rapidly changing environments. Through the use of structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression analyses, we tested the conceptual model with a data set of 298 small- and medium-sized enterprises in China. The results demonstrate that the positive influence of community CSR on service innovation performance is partially mediated by dynamic capability, whereas this effect of environmental CSR is fully mediated by dynamic capability. These findings have important implications for both CSR and service innovation practice and theory.
Meat Reduction by Force: The Case of “Meatless Monday” in the Norwegian Armed Forces
Authors: Milford Anna Birgitte , Kildal Charlotte
Published: May 2019

Despite the scientific evidence that more plants and less animal-based food is more sustainable, policy interventions to reduce meat consumption are scarce. However, campaigns for meat free days in school and office canteens have spread globally over the last years. In this paper, we look at the Norwegian Armed Forces’ attempt to introduce the Meatless Monday campaign in their camps, and we evaluate the implementation process as well as the effect of the campaign on soldiers. Qualitative interviews with military staff indicate that lack of conviction about benefits of meat reduction, and the fact that kitchen staff did not feel ownership to the project, partly explain why vegetarian measures were not fully implemented in all the camps. A multivariate regression analysis with survey data from soldiers indicate that those who have experienced meat free days in the military kitchen are more prone to claim that joining the military has given them a more positive view on vegetarian food. Furthermore, the survey gives evidence that stated willingness to eat more vegetarian food is higher among soldiers who believe in the environmental and health benefits of meat reduction.
Sustainability and Indicators of Newly Formed World-Class Universities (NFWCUs) between 2010 and 2018: Empirical Analysis from the Rankings of ARWU, QSWUR and THEWUR
Authors: Liu Zhimin , Moshi Goodluck Jacob , Awuor Cynthia Mwonya
Published: May 2019

In the 21st century, sustainability and indicators of world-class universities have come within the scope of an academic cottage industry. The complex problem of university sustainability implies a big challenge for countries and educators to implement important strategies in an integrated and comprehensive way. This paper highlights and analyzes the sustainability indicators of universities included as newly formed world-class universities (NFWCUs) in the top 100 from 2010 and 2018. The integration of three global ranking scales—the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), the Quacquarelli–Symonds World University Ranking (QS) and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THEs)—allows us to minimize the impact of the methodology used. This study integrates regression analysis by using statistical grouping, case studies and normative analysis. Our principal findings are as follows: among the commonly ranked top 100 universities in 2018, the ARWU, QS and THE counted 57, compared with 47 in 2010. Thus, comparing 2010 and 2018 shows that 44 of the universities appeared simultaneously in ARWU, QS and THE rankings and maintained a sustainable position in any ranking system in the family of top 100 groups. Three lower-ranked NFWCUs in the hybrid list for 2010 lost their ranking and did not appear in the group of top 100 universities in 2018, which are covered by some catch-up and young universities. The NFWCUs were from US, Australia, China, Singapore, Germany and Belgium. By systematic comparison, the US and UK continued to dominate the stability of NFWCUs in 2010 and 2018. The key sustainability indicators include a high concentration of talent, abundant resources to offer a rich learning environment and conduct advanced research. Generally, the factors were negatively associated with ranking suggesting that a higher score result in top ranking and vice versa. Teaching, research, citation and international outlook were negatively correlated with THE ranking in 2018. Similarly, Alumni and PUB were negatively associated with ARWU ranking in 2018. All factors except international student ratio were significantly correlated in QS ranking either in 2010 or 2018, where negative association was observed. The significant contribution of our study is to highlight that for the sustainability of universities, it is necessary to have an increasing emphasis on the effectiveness and efficiency of government-supported research, stability of investments and more approaches to employ international initiatives. The results also confirm the appropriate governance, developing global students and place emphasis on science and technology as additional factors in the approaches of pathways to NFWCUs, with delivery of outstanding educational programs and comprehensive internationalization as a key indicator for performance improvement and global university ranking systems.
Carbon Asset of Electrification: Valuing the Transition from Fossil Fuel-Powered Buses to Battery Electric Buses in Beijing
Authors: Xu Xinkuo , Lv Xiaofeng , Han Liyan
Published: May 2019

An increasing number of cities are transitioning from fossil fuel-powered buses for public transport to battery electric buses, but there is still much confusion about the economic evaluation of the electrification of buses, especially in terms of the carbon asset value for carbon emissions reduction in this transition. Taking Beijing as the example, this paper studies the economic value of the transition of public buses from fossil fuel-powered buses to battery electric buses from the perspective of carbon asset theory, and mainly focuses the analysis on direct carbon emissions. First, the theory and methodology of carbon asset evaluation are introduced for the transition from fossil fuel-powered buses to battery electric buses. Second, the internal determinants of the carbon assets for the transition from fossil fuel-powered buses to battery electric buses are studied. Third, the distinct impacts of the determinants of the carbon assets of the transition from fossil fuel-powered buses to battery electric buses are analysed. The results indicate that (1) the transition from fossil fuel-powered buses to battery electric buses has a carbon asset value; (2) the carbon asset value of the transition from fossil fuel-powered buses to battery electric buses is determined by the distance-specific CO2 emissions of fossil fuel-powered buses, the carbon price and the annual driving distances of the buses as well as the discounted rate of the carbon assets for buses and the termination time of the fossil fuel-powered or battery electric buses; and (3) the carbon assets contribute to the economic value of the transition from fossil fuel-powered buses to battery electric buses. This paper provides academic support for the economic evaluation of the transition from fossil fuel-powered buses to battery electric buses in a low-carbon society.

Published: May 2019

Drylands (arid and semi-arid regions) are important regions in the world; they have been disregarded and considered poor undeveloped regions due to their ecological limitations. Farmers in these regions tend towards diversification of production systems in order to achieve livelihood security, and this phenomenon has not been extensively studied. The objective of this study was to create a typology of the production systems present in the Mexican north central drylands, using variables related to production, socioeconomics, and social capital. 1044 interviews were conducted in the semi-arid region of north central Mexico. Analysis of the data allowed for the observation of nine types of production systems distributed in three groups: Subsistence, commercial, and off-farm income systems. The differences observed within these systems are due to generational gaps, gender differences, market orientation, and social capital. It can be concluded that the diversification of the dryland production systems allows for an understanding of why generic public policies have failed to mitigate poverty in these regions. The implications of the study refer to the reconfiguration of Mexican policies for the development of the drylands.
Environmental Homogenization or Heterogenization? The Effects of Globalization on Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 1970–2014
Authors: Wang Yan , Zhou Tao , Chen Hao , Rong Zhihai
Published: May 2019

Globalization significantly influences climate change. Ecological modernization theory and world polity theory suggest that globalization reduces carbon dioxide emissions worldwide by facilitating economic, political, social, and cultural homogenization, whereas ecological unequal exchange theory indicates that cumulative economic and political disparities lead to an uneven distribution of emissions in developed and less developed countries. This study addresses this controversy and systematically investigates the extent to which different dimensions of globalization influence carbon emissions in developed and less developed countries by treating globalization as a dynamic historical process involving economic, political, and social/cultural dimensions in a long-term, cross-national context. Drawing on data for 137 countries from 1970 to 2014, we find that while globalization, social and cultural globalization in particular, has enabled developed countries to significantly decrease their carbon emissions, it has led to more emissions in less developed countries, lending support to the ecological unequal exchange theory. Consistent with world polity theory, international political integration has contributed to carbon reductions over time. We highlight the internal tension between environmental conservation and degradation in a globalizing world and discuss the opportunities for less developed countries to reduce emissions.
Social Landscape Optimization of Towns and Villages at the County Level by Developing a Compound Ecological Capital System
Authors: Ren Kai , Yang Jianqiang
Published: May 2019

The development of the social landscape of towns and villages at the county level in China currently lacks sustainability and urgently needs to be optimized. By developing a compound ecological capital system, the optimization of the social landscape will be an important process. Based on the dialectical relationship between landscape production and landscape sustainability, a theoretical framework is proposed as a paradigm of landscape structure. By highlighting the culture base and life proposed in ecosystem services (ES) described in the common international classification of ecosystem services (CICES) methodology, we propose a new social landscape order. We used Hequ County, Shanxi Province, China as the study case, evaluating the ecology level of social capital by gravity. In this paper, four types of optimization approaches for social landscape structure are proposed: completing urbanization (urbanized approach), shaping social landscape (prioritized development approach), protecting nature (scale-controlled approach), and increasing agricultural landscape (migrated and merged approach).
FEATURES OF JUDICATED EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCHING CASES CONNECTED WITH THE EXPLOSION OF GAS-AIR CONDITION AND THE FOLLOWING FIRE EXEMPTIONS
Authors:   T. Shagdarova; A. Mukhіn; K. Kainazarov
Published: May 2019

In this article the peculiarities of investigation of the circumstances of an explosion of a gas-air mixture in apartments and housing construction are described, namely, an expert study of the place of the event as the main object of forensic expertise. Main traces of destruction characteristic of blast depending on the nature of the gas (natural, liquefied) used for household purposes are described.

The traces of destruction include: traces of the destruction of exterior walls, ceilings, interiors partitions, depending on the nature of the material (brickwork, wall panels).

It is noted that because of the shock wave in the explosion of gas-air mixture there is a collapse of the walls of apartments (houses) that are made of brick, while on the surface of the wall panels traces-destruction are characterized by the formation of cracks and large debris panel.

The article also gives examples of the calculation of the formation of an explosive concentration of the mixture, and the time of the formation of hydrocarbon gas at the gas leakage from the gas pipeline or the gas cylinder plant, taking into account the capacity of the pressure regulator: for the gas cylinder plant it was taken as 0.6 meter per second, for the main gas pipeline (in the apartment house) – 13.5 meter per second.

The calculation of the time of filling the room with gas from the gas cylinder plant or main gas pipeline to the formation of explosive concentration showed that when leakage from the gas pipeline formation of such concentration occurs much faster than when gas comes from the gas cylinder.

Particular attention is paid to the issues of expert investigation of criminal case materials and video reviews of the place of the event, provided form the investigator to the expert, reflection in the conclusion of the fact of the use of information contained in them as sources of evidence of the circumstances of the explosion. However, the main object, according to the authors, is exactly the place of the event, its material situation. Particular attention was paid to the importance of studying traces of destruction to the implementation of measures to eliminate the consequences of an explosion with the possible occurrence of a fire.

The article is based on the analysis of the practice of conducting forensic expertises in republican state utility enterprise “Center for Forensic Expertise of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan” where the possibilities of expert investigation of traces formed as a result of explosive (deflation) combustion gas-air mixture, taking into account the nature of their origin are shown.

Key words: explosion of gas-air mixture, explosive concentration of the mixture, gas equipment, emergency situations.
FEATURES OF RESEARCH OF COMMERCIAL FAULTS OF CARGO TRANSPORTATION WHEN EXECUTING FORENSIC RAILWAY TRANSPORT EXAMINATIONS
Authors: Dzhus O.
Published: May 2019

In the article was noted the importance of the study of the conditions for the carriage of goods by rail transport when executing the railway transport examination, and the main points of such studies are given. One of the causes of the onset of a railroad accident (hereinafter referred to as RTA) with damage to the rolling stock, infrastructure elements, loss of life and loss of cargo through damaged packaging, the integrity of the car body may be a mismatch of the cargo weight with established weight standards, unsatisfactory the technical condition of the rolling stock in which the cargo is transported, improper securing of the cargo in the car, disorder of attachment on the route or interference of unauthorized persons to the cargo itself (theft). As a part of the railway-transport expertise, experts investigate cases of derailment of railway rolling stock, spontaneous movement of cars from the parking lot, followed by their collision, and other cases. Upon the occurrence of an RTA, the compliance of the actions of the railway employees involved with the requirements of regulatory documents, the causal link and the immediate technical reason for its occurrence is investigated. Experts carrying out research within the examination regarded various possible discrepancies that could cause the occurrence of RTA. The inconsistency of the mass of the cargo with the established weight standards for transportation by rail is considered by experts, precisely as a possible discrepancy that could significantly affect the occurrence of the accident. This direction of research requires detailed consideration from the position of forensic expertise. The article discusses individual issues of this type of inconsistency. These points are considered in more detail in a research work devoted to a study of the main transport characteristics of the goods transported and their packages, with an assessment of the possibility of their influence on the causal relationship with the onset of the RTA as part of the railway transport expertise. Each type of faults (inconsistencies) identified during the carriage of goods by rail is investigated as part of the implementation of forensic railway transport examinations and requires the formation of detailed expert approaches. The presented work confirms the relevance of developing a methodology for assessing the impact of cargo transportation features on the onset of railway accidents.

Key words: commercial malfunctions, forensic railway-transport expertise, cargo, features of transportation, fasteners, weight standards.

Various problems that occur in a community, is a social phenomenon that has existed since the start of human life. Problem solving methods that can be taken is basically divided into two, namely the completion of the litigation and non-litigation pathway. In fact, if there is a problem, especially with regard to criminal law (criminal case), the model of problem solving is always done using the path of litigation. The settlement of this litigation by using paths in practice does not always go according to what is expected due to the settlement of litigation by using the path in the traditional criminal justice system today would lead to new problems such as: pattern of retaliatory punishment still, causing a buildup of the case, do not pay attention to the rights of the victim, not in accordance with the principle of simple justice; process is long, complicated and expensive, and the settlement is legistis stiff, does not restore the effects of crime, prisons conditions are not adequate, does not reflect justice for the community and so although, the law was made essentially to provide fairness and benefits to humans. Looking at these phenomena, in the latest development emerged a new concept or approach the concept of restorative justice. The concept of restorative justice approaches assessed or can cope with various problems in the traditional criminal justice system as mentioned above.This study will discuss the application of restorative justice in terms of the integrated criminal justice system in Indonesia. This research is a descriptive normative legal analysis. The approach used is a statutory approach, conceptual approach, and the principles of law.Keywords: Restorative Justice, Integrated Criminal Justice System.
