Land Surface Temperature and Urban Policies: The Ferrara City Case Study
Authors: Di Pietro Gianni , Marziali Emilio , Montaldi Cristina , Zullo Francesco
Published: December 2023

Today’s global challenges are increasingly complex, and forecast scenarios show a general increase in risks that could compromise human permanence in some areas of the planet. In this context, cities have a key role, both because they concentrate an increasing number of inhabitants and because they will be among the first areas to feel these effects. As pointed out by the IPCC, addressing these challenges requires a redefinition of the organization of urban spaces by assigning, more or less explicitly, a key role to spatial planning. Urban and territorial planning may be the main tool in the regulation of transformation processes. Planning has a crucial role, especially if territorial transformations are no longer mainly linked to expansive logics. In this case, it is possible to orient urban choices and policies towards a sustainable use of resources, including land resources that continue to be overexploited. Starting from these assumptions, the present work intends to analyze the relationship between the LST (Land Surface Temperature) extracted from the data provided by MODIS (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) and the level of soil sealing within the municipality of Ferrara in northern Italy. The reference period is between 2015 and 2021. The objective is dual. The first is investigating how the environmental matrix can influence the temperature values detected; the second is investigating how the implementation of transformative forecasts provided by the urban planning tool in force, could influence the thermal comfort of the study area.

This article discusses an innovative carbon capture and utilization project from societal, economic, and ethical perspectives. UiT—The Arctic University of Norway and the ferrosilicon producer Finnfjord AS, both located in Northern Norway, collaborate to develop sustainably produced fish feed by cultivating microalgae (diatoms) that feed on CO2 from the factory fume. The microalgae biomass, when added to fish feed applied in the aquaculture industry, contributes nutrients that are essential to human and fish health. The project carries the potential to contribute to the operationalization of the Sustainable Development Goals. The present study is intended as a contribution to the literature focusing on CO2 utilization as a means of achieving a sustainable “green” transition in the industry. By viewing the utilization of CO2 through the lenses of biotechnology, a circular economy, ethics and philosophy, our research findings are relevant to sustainability scholars, industrial actors, and policy makers. It also presents future perspectives on how the aquaculture and manufacturing industries can contribute to the operationalizing of the Sustainable Development Goals in a rapidly evolving industrial environment that is now undergoing a paradigm shift.
Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Forest Fires in Poland and Consequences for Fire Protection Systems: Seeking a Balance between Efficiency and Costs
Authors: Kolanek Aleksandra , Szymanowski Mariusz , Małysz Michał
Published: December 2023

An important issue from the forest fire protection system perspective is forecasting fires and maintaining a high readiness of firefighting units at a low cost. In Poland, the level of fire protection is defined by the degree of forest fire risk, based on forecasts made for 1 March to 30 September, i.e., the risk period (the so-called fire season). In this paper, based on classical statistical and spatial analysis, we positively verify the research hypothesis that the fire season in Poland changes in terms of start and end dates depending on the region. We therefore propose a modification to the forecasting period, adapted to local conditions and calculated annually on the basis of the previous period. Then, using network analysis, we negatively verify the hypothesis that the size of the burned area is related to the distance from fire brigades, which proves that the reasons for such a differentiation in the number of fires should be sought elsewhere than in the system used for allocating fire units. On the basis of cluster analysis, attention is drawn to areas where large fires break out more often.
Joint Forecasting Model for the Hourly Cooling Load and Fluctuation Range of a Large Public Building Based on GA-SVM and IG-SVM
Authors: Wang Meng , Yu Junqi , Zhou Meng , Quan Wei , Cheng Renyin
Published: December 2023

Building load prediction is one of the important means of saving energy and reducing emissions, and accurate cold load prediction is conducive to the realization of online monitoring and the optimal control of building air conditioning systems. Therefore, a joint prediction model was proposed in this paper. Firstly, by combining the Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) method with sensitivity analysis, the optimal combination of parameters that influence building cooling load (BCL) were obtained. Secondly, the parameters of the support vector machine (SVM) model were improved by using the genetic algorithm (GA), and a GA-SVM prediction model was proposed to perform building hourly cold load prediction. Then, when there is a demand for the fluctuation prediction of BCL or extreme weather conditions are encountered, the information granulation (IG) method is used to fuzzy granulate the data. At the same time, the fluctuation range of the BCL was obtained by combining the prediction of the established GA-SVM model. Finally, the model was validated with the actual operational data of a large public building in Xi’an. The results show that the CV-RMSE and MAPE of the GA-SVM model are reduced by 58.85% and 68.04%, respectively, compared with the SVM for the time-by-time BCL prediction, indicating that the optimization of the SVM by using the GA can effectively reduce the error of the prediction model. Compared with the other three widely used prediction models, the R2 of the GA-SVM model is improved by 4.75~6.35%, the MAPE is reduced by 68.00~72.76%, and the CV-RMSE is reduced by 59.69~64.97%. This proved that the GA-SVM has higher prediction accuracy. In addition, the joint model was used for BCL fluctuation range prediction, and the R2 of the prediction model was 97.27~99.68%, the MAPE was 2.59~2.84%, and the CV-RMSE was only 0.0249~0.0319, which demonstrated the effectiveness of the joint prediction model. The results of the study have important guiding significance for building load interval prediction, daily energy management and energy scheduling.
Towards International Maritime Organization Carbon Targets: A Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Analysis for Sustainable Container Shipping

Published: December 2023

Recently, decarbonizing the maritime industry, which accounts for 2.8% of world emissions, has become essential. However, as a crucial component of maritime transportation, container shipping also carries substantial significance. In this context, the International Maritime Organization endeavors to endorse several projects and methods to mitigate maritime transport emissions. As a result, this research assesses frameworks, infrastructure, training, and other critical factors to analyze multiple operational and technological possibilities for predicted decarbonization solutions in container shipping using the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach to assess ship owners’ and stakeholders’ desires. It employs a comprehensive methodology that begins with a systematic literature review using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) method to prepare questionaries, followed by an MCDM analysis using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) methods to examine the results. This research contributes to the scholarly discourse on reducing the emissions of maritime transportation. According to the findings, operational alternatives, such as ship speed, trim, and maritime route optimizations, are considerably more appealing than design and technology solutions, such as technically advanced ship hulls or machinery reforms. The pragmatic advantages of the operational alternatives, such as lower costs and shorter implementation schedules, stimulate their adoption. In contrast, design and technological solutions can influence emission reductions in the long term. It is possible to find operational alternatives for short-term decarbonization, while technological and design advancements can aid in long-term emission reductions in container shipping.
Involvement of a Rarely Used Splicing SD2b Site in the Regulation of HIV-1 vif mRNA Production as Revealed by a Growth-Adaptive Mutation

Published: December 2023

We have previously reported an HIV-1 mutant designated NL-Y226tac that expresses Vif at an ultra-low level, being replication-defective in high-APOBEC3G cells, such as H9. It carries a synonymous mutation within the splicing SA1 site relative to its parental clone. In order to determine whether a certain mutant(s) emerges during multi-infection cycles, we maintained H9 cells infected with a relatively low or high input of NL-Y226tac for extended time periods. Unexpectedly, we reproducibly identified a g5061a mutation in the SD2b site in the two independent long-term culture experiments that partially increases Vif expression and replication ability. Importantly, the adaptive mutation g5061a was demonstrated to enhance vif mRNA production by activation of the SA1 site mediated through increasing usage of a rarely used SD2b site. In the long-term culture initiated by a high virus input, we additionally found a Y226Fttc mutation at the original Y226tac site in SA1 that fully restores Vif expression and replication ability. As expected, the adaptive mutation Y226Fttc enhances vif mRNA production through increasing the splicing site usage of SA1. Our results here revealed the importance of the SD2b nucleotide sequence in producing vif mRNA involved in the HIV-1 adaptation and of mutual antagonism between Vif and APOBEC3 proteins in HIV-1 adaptation/evolution and survival.

The high proportion of workers in the chemical industry working in hazardous working conditions and the justification of measures to preserve their health are an urgent task in the field of protecting the health of the working population, however, aspects of the formation of occupational risks in the production of chemical fibers remain insufficiently studied. The article presents the results of prospective cohort comprehensive studies of working conditions and health status of 137 workers in the production of polyacrylonitrile fibers. The factors of the working environment (chemical, microclimate, noise), the severity and intensity of the labor process, the first identified and chronic non-infectious morbidity for 2017–2021 were studied. It has been established that workers work under the influence of a complex of factors harmful to their health, including chemicals of hazard classes 1–4 (acrylonitrile, methyl acryate, hydrocyanide, sulfuric acid, caustic alkalis, ethylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol), industrial noise, physical and neuro-emotional overloads, the levels of which, to varying degrees, exceed the hygienic standards, forming harmful working conditions (classes 3.1–3.4). In the structure of the accumulated chronic morbidity of workers, the leading ranking places belonged to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (24.3 %), the circulatory system (16.04 %), and the genitourinary system (15.0 %). As a result of the assessment of cause-and-effect relationships of health disorders with work, the production conditionality of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, represented by dorsalgia of various levels, of an average degree (RR = 1.893; EF = 47.183 %; CI = 1.192–3.007) was established. Quantitative assessment of group occupational risk corresponded to the category of «high risk» (4.780 × 10–2), indicating the need to reduce it to an acceptable level. The limitation of the study was the study of occupational risk factors for health disorders among employees of one enterprise. The results obtained were used to develop measures to reduce occupational health risks for workers in the production of synthetic polyacrylonitrile fibers.
Meister der kurzen Form: Ernest Hemingway und der frühe Siegfried Lenz
Authors: Stéger Marcell Dániel
Published: December 2023

Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird untersucht, wie die Kurzgeschichte zu einem dominanten Genre in der deutschen Literatur der Nachkriegsjahre wurde und wie Ernest Hemingway die junge Generation deutscher Schriftsteller der genannten Zeit beeinflusste. Um diese Fragen umsichtig zu beantworten und das Phänomen erst auf der Makroebene zu betrachten, war eine Untersuchung der deutsch-amerikanischen Beziehungen in der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts aus literaturgeschichtlicher und -soziologischer Sicht erforderlich. Daher werden die institutionellen und kulturpolitischen Bedingungen sowie die Bedingungen auf dem Buchmarkt ausgeführt, unter denen einerseits die Kurzgeschichte als Genre, andererseits Hemingway als Schriftsteller zu wichtigen Mustern für die junge Schriftstellergeneration wurden. Auf der Mikroebene, d.h. auf der Ebene literarischer Texte werden bestimmte Kurzgeschichten von Siegfried Lenz, vor allem aus seinem frühen Band Jäger des Spotts, daraufhin analysiert, inwieweit sich in ihnen der Einfluss des amerikanischen Erzählers feststellen lässt. Die Analyse geht jedoch über die Suche nach Parallelen hinaus: Es handelt sich auch darum, wie Lenz die von Hemingway übernommenen Motive und Strukturen verändert und umdeutet und wie der deutsche Schriftsteller daraus seinen eigenen Stil entwickelt.
L’entrainement haltérophile pour des compétitions de niveau régional et au-dessus
Authors: Poumarat Georges
Published: December 2023

L’haltérophilie est un sport réputé pour développer spécifiquement les qualités de force, mais en raison des conceptions appliquées en matière d'entraînement, le retentissement sur l'organisme ne paraît pas pris en compte ou bien est considéré comme défavorable sur les systèmes réputés comme plus particulièrement sollicités par cette activité.

Nous proposons un programme d'entraînement basé sur des considérations physio-énergétiques : anaérobie alactique au plan musculaire local (muscles spécifiques du geste haltérophile) et si possible aérobie au plan cardio-vasculaire général.

Il s'agit d'un entraînement à base de séries longues (4 fois 10 répétitions toutes les 20 à 25 sec. à l'Arraché et à 1'Epaulé-jeté) sur les mouvements olympiques 4 fois par semaine, appliqué à 10 haltérophiles âgés de 16 à 22 ans de niveau régional (10 témoins suivaient un entraînement dit traditionnel quantativement équivalent).

L'entraînement décrit, régulièrement suivi, aboutit, comparativement aux témoins, à des résultats plus rapides.

D'autre part, nous avons pu constater l’inocuité d'un tel entraînement sur les grands systèmes : cardio-vasculaire et ostéo-articulaire

Abstract

Objective: To assess the tolerance and effects of COVID-19 vaccination in Egyptian patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), such as incident flare risk, based on the patient’s perspective.

Methods: SLE patients were included in this multicenter cross-sectional questionnaire-based analysis. Data included demographic and clinical features, prior COVID-19 infection, vaccine acceptability, type of vaccination, disease status before and after vaccination, and related side effects.

Results: The total number of patients included was 230. Ages ranged from 18 to 64 years, disease duration from 1 to 15 years, and 92.6% were females. Only 31.7% of the study population were COVID-infected; most (70.7%) were treated at home, while 1.2% needed ICU. In contrast, 53% of our patients were vaccinated, and 47% were not vaccinated, primarily due to fear of side effects or disease flare. After the first dose of vaccination, 44.1% reported vaccine-related side effects, of which fatigue, fever, myalgia, as well as injection site reaction were the prevalent complications. The highest incidence of side effects was in AstraZeneca (78%), while the least was in Sinopharm (29.6%). 16.3% of vaccinated patients were COVID infected after vaccination, and 88.2% were treated at home. Only 14.6% of the vaccinated population experienced a lupus flare, primarily after the first dose, with no significant difference between the type of vaccine and lupus flares.

Conclusion: The acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination among our lupus patients was neutral. The observed adverse effects were comparable to those reported by healthy individuals. Post-vaccination lupus flares were infrequent and unrelated to the vaccine type but rather to the pre-vaccination disease activity state.

In August 2018, the Salom-Alik station was added to the 25 seismic stations, functioning on the territory of Kyrgyzstan, and in April 2019, the Jany-Kuch station was installed. In 2018, 4 stations (Buston, Nukus, Sukok, Khiva) of 45 stations operating in the previous year in Uzbekistan were closed out. So, data of 41 seismic stations of Uzbekistan were used in 2018 and 2019. 2018 was relatively calm as regards to the seismic activity: the consolidated catalog of earthquakes included 231 events with KR=8.6–13.0. The maximum by energy was the earthquake of September 3 at 21h52m with KR=13.0, located at the territory of neighboring China. The foreshock close by energy was registered 73 seconds before it (KR=12.1). The main shock was accompanied by aftershocks, the maximum of which occurred on September 4 at 02h51m with KR=11.6. In 2019, the seismicity of the region remained almost at the level of the previous year: 210 earthquakes with KR=8.6–12.4 were registered. The strongest earthquake in this year's catalog occurred on January 12 with KR=12.4 also in China. The lowest seismic activity compared to its long-term average value for the period from 1996 to 2019 was noted in 2019.

In 2018–2019, seismic monitoring of the territory of Tajikistan with adjacent areas of several states was carried out by a network of 7 digital seismic stations of the Geophysical Servey of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan. For two years, 17195 earthquakes with energy classes KR=8.6–14.9 were registered. Among them 2870 were small–focus (h<70 km), scattered throughout the Southwestern Tien Shan (zone I), Southern Tien Shan (II), the crustal Pamir-Hindu Kush (III), and 14325 – with intermediate depths h=70–310 km, localized in the Pamir-Hindu Kush zone IV. 112 earthquakes were tangible, two of them, Sarikhosor earthquakes of March 29, 2018 with KR=13.1, I0=6 and of March 7, 2019 with KR=12.1, I0=5–6, were surveyed with the construction of isoseist maps and described in a separate article of this issue of the journal. The strongest (Mw>6) earthquakes were grouped in zone IV of Hindu Kush earthquakes with intermediate depths both in 2018 (January 31 with KR=14.8, Mw=6.2, h=200 km and May 9 with KR=14.9, Mw=6.3, h=105 km) and in 2019 (December 20 with KR=14.8, Mw=6.2, h=209 km). All notable earthquakes with foci in the Earth's crust occurred in the Southern Tien Shan zone (II) and associated with a system of near-latitudinal South-Hissar and Ilak-Vakhsh deep faults. Among them the earthquakes occurred in 2018 (March 29 with KR =13.1, N,афт=521; September 17 and December 5 with KR=12.0, N,aft=59) and in 2019 (March 7, KR=12.1, N, aft=53), which were accompanied by large series of aftershocks.

The results of calculation and analysis of spectral and dynamic parameters of the sources (М0,r0, , , ησ, r, ū, Eu и Mw) of 24 Crimean earthquakes for 2018–2019 in the range of energy classes KП=5.8–11 are presented. 157 station amplitude spectra of P- and S- seismic waves recorded at seven regional digital seismic stations were used for calculations. The determination of dynamic parameters of the sources was carried out using the Brune theoretical dislocation model. The average values of the dynamic parameters of earthquake sources for 2018–2019 were in most cases estimated for several stations and for different types of waves, which ensured a small value of the degree of scattering of individual estimates. For the studied 2018–2019 earthquakes, the average values of the seismic moment М0, the radius of the circular dislocation r0, and the stress drop  were within the confidence intervals of the long-term dependencies М0(KП), r0 (KП) and (KП). For five strongest earthquakes of 2018 (January 31, April 24, September 9, September 13, and October 15 with KП=10.5–11) and two earthquakes of 2019 (May 8 and December 4), focal mechanism solutions were obtained within the framework of the double dipole model. Type of movement in the source of January 31, 2018 earthquake is a strike-slip with a normal fault component, of September 9 and September 13, 2018 – a normal fault, of April 24 and October 15, 2018, as well as May 8 and December 4, 2019 – a reverse fault. The spectral composition of seismic oscillations was additionally studied from the energy spectra of 15 earthquakes using records at the Alushta station located at distances 5–285 km from source zones. At the qualitative level, a shift of the spectrum maximum (fqmax) towards higher frequencies for weak shocks and close epicentral distances.
EARTHQUAKES FELT in the NORTH CAUCASUS in 2018: ZAMANKUL EARTHQUAKE on APRIL 12, 2018 with KR=8.9, I0=4 and YANDARE EARTHQUAKE on OCTOBER 17, 2018 with KR=11.7, I0=5–6

The article provides the instrumental and macroseismic data of two perceptible earthquakes which occurred in 2018 on the territory of the North Caucasus republics – Zamankul earthquake with KR=8.9 in North Ossetia-Alania and Yandare earthquake with KR=11.7 in Ingushetia. The tectonic situation at the sites of the foci of these seismic events was also taken into account. Zamankul earthquake was felt in five settlements with an intensity from 2 to 3–4 points despite its relatively low energy class. The intensity at its epicenter is estimated as I0=4. According to the results of the macroseismic survey of Yandare earthquake, a map of its impact in 22 settlements is built. The data are approximated by isoseists of Ii=2, 3, 4, 5. The intensity in the epicenter is estimated as I0=5–6. According to the focal mechanism solution, the earthquake occurred under the influence of prevailing compressive stress. The type of movement in the source is reverse fault with significant strike-slip component. Comparison of the nodal planes with the tectonics of the region made it possible to choose as the active nodal plane NP2 of southeastern strike, coinciding with the orientation of the Dattykh-Akhlov fault zone, to which the source is confined. Information on historical seismicity in the Yandare earthquake focal zone is given for the last 150 years. Geological and tectonic positions for both considered earthquakes are described.

The results of near real-time monitoring of the active Kamchatka volcanoes are described. Continuous monitoring was carried out using three remote methods: 1) seismic monitoring according to automatic telemetric seismic stations; 2) visual and video observation; 3) satellite observation of the thermal anomalies and the ash clouds. Daily information about volcanic activity is published in the Internet (http://www.emsd.ru/ ~ssl/monitoring/main.htm) since February 2000. The results of seismic activity of the Northern (Shiveluch, Kluchevskoy, Bezymianny, Krestovsky and Ushkovsky), Avacha (Avachinsky and Koryaksky), MutnovskyGorely volcano group and Kizimen, Zhupanovsky, Karymsky and Kambalny volcanoes for 2018–2019 are presented. Within two years 29199 earthquakes with KS=1.6–10.1 were located for Northern volcano group, 714 earthquakes with KS=1.6–7.6 – for Avacha volcano group, 247 earthquakes with KS=1.7–7.3 – Mutnovsky-Gorely volcano group, 116 earthquakes with KS=2.6–8.7 for Kizimen volcano, 315 earthquakes with KS=2.2–10.9 for Zhupanovsky volcano, five earthquakes with KS=6.2–8.3 for Kambalny volcano and four earthquakes with KS=5.2–6.7 for Karymsky volcano. Maps of epicenters, quantities of seismic energy and earthquake distribution according to class are given. All periods of activity were fixed and investigated by remote methods in 2018–2019: intensive volcanic activity of Sheveluch volcano associated with new cone, two paroxysmal explosive eruptions of Bezymianny volcano and the summit explosive-effusive eruptions of Kluchevskoy volcano.
