Envisioning Climate Change Adaptation Futures Using Storytelling Workshops
Authors: Harcourt Rachel , Bruine de Bruin Wändi , Dessai Suraje , Taylor Andrea
Published: June 2021

Engaging people in preparing for inevitable climate change may help them to improve their own safety and contribute to local and national adaptation objectives. However, existing research shows that individual engagement with adaptation is low. One contributing factor to this might be that public discourses on climate change often seems dominated by overly negative and seemingly pre-determined visions of the future. Futures thinking intends to counter this by re-presenting the future as choice contingent and inclusive of other possible and preferable outcomes. Here, we undertook storytelling workshops with participants from the West Yorkshire region of the U.K. They were asked to write fictional adaptation futures stories which: opened by detailing their imagined story world, moved to events that disrupted those worlds, provided a description of who responded and how and closed with outcomes and learnings from the experience. We found that many of the stories envisioned adaptation as a here-and-now phenomenon, and that good adaptation meant identifying and safeguarding things of most value. However, we also found notable differences as to whether the government, local community or rebel groups were imagined as leaders of the responsive actions, and as to whether good adaptation meant maintaining life as it had been before the disruptive events occurred or using the disruptive events as a catalyst for social change. We suggest that the creative futures storytelling method tested here could be gainfully applied to support adaptation planning across local, regional and national scales.
The Relationship between Self-Confidence, Self-Efficacy, Grit, Usefulness, and Ease of Use of eLearning Platforms in Corporate Training during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Malureanu Adriana , Panisoara Georgeta , Lazar Iulia
Published: June 2021

This exploratory study contributes to the understanding of self-confidence as a predictor of self-efficacy, ease of use, and usefulness of eLearning platforms in corporate training. The present research explored the relationship among the employees’ beliefs regarding self-confidence, grit, ease of use, self-efficacy, and usefulness of eLearning platforms in their workplace during the COVID-19 pandemic. In total, 307 responses from Romanian employees who used eLearning platforms in corporate training (females = 60.3%, males = 39.7%, age range of less than 24 years (12.1%) to over 55 years (6.2%)) were exploited for research. Data were analyzed through a path analysis model. Results indicate that grit (i.e., consistency of interest), self-efficacy, and perceived ease of use of eLearning platforms were considerably directly influenced by the self-confidence variable. Usefulness was directly influenced by the ease of use and was indirectly influenced by self-confidence. Mediation analysis indicated that full mediation occurs only through the ease of use of eLearning platforms variable in the relationship between self-confidence and usefulness. A unit increase in self-confidence will increase the expected value of grit by 0.54 units (t = 8.39, p < 0.001), will indirectly increase the expected value of usefulness through ease of use by 0.15 units (t = 2.39, p = 0.017), and will increase the expected value of self-efficacy by 0.53 units (t = 6.26, p < 0.001). In addition, perceived ease of use of eLearning platforms in corporate training fully mediated the relationship of usefulness regressed on self-confidence (β = 0.20, t = 2.51, p = 0.012). These novel results reveal the contributions of self-confidence, consistency of interest as a grit dimension, and ease of use of eLearning platforms in predicting lifelong learning solutions, which improve business outcomes. The related investigation and consequences were further considered.
An Upper Bound Asymptotically Tight for the Connectivity of the Disjointness Graph of Segments in the Plane
Authors: Espinoza-Valdez Aurora , Leaños Jesús , Ndjatchi Christophe , Ríos-Castro Luis Manuel
Published: June 2021

Let P be a set of n≥3 points in general position in the plane. The edge disjointness graph D(P) of P is the graph whose vertices are the n2 closed straight line segments with endpoints in P, two of which are adjacent in D(P) if and only if they are disjoint. In this paper we show that the connectivity of D(P) is at most 7n218+Θ(n), and that this upper bound is asymptotically tight. The proof is based on the analysis of the connectivity of D(Qn), where Qn denotes an n-point set that is almost 3-symmetric.

Published: June 2021

Cysticercosis and Trichinella spp. infection are parasitic zoonoses prevalent among pigs in Southeast Asia, where pork is the most important source of meat. In rural Cambodia, many pigs are raised extensively in family backyards, and information regarding the prevalence in rural small-scale pig production is very limited. This study was conducted in four provinces in north-eastern Cambodia to determine the seroprevalence of porcine cysticercosis and Trichinella spp. infection in rural villages, and to identify possible risk factors. Only households with less than 10 pigs above three months old were eligible. In total, 139 households participated, and 242 blood samples were collected. Farmers were interviewed about food and hygiene habits, disease knowledge and practices. The serum samples were analysed by ELISA to determine antigens to Taenia spp. cysticerci or antibodies to Trichinella spp. muscle larvae. Positivity among the pigs was 11.2% (95% CI 7.5–15.8) for Taenia spp. cysts and 2.5% (95% CI 0.9–5.4) for Trichinella spp. Cysticerci were more common in the province Preah Vihear (p < 0.001) than in the other provinces. Risk factors associated with porcine cysticercosis were management systems for the pigs and access to human faeces (p < 0.001). Trichinella spp. infection in pigs was more common in the province Ratanakiri (p = 0.001). The main risk factor associated with Trichinella spp. transmission was feeding pigs with food waste (p = 0.048). More men had heard about cysticercosis than women (p = 0.002), and men also consumed undercooked pork meat to a greater extent (p = 0.004). Although the present study is relatively small, several risk factors could be identified for porcine infection with Taenia spp. and Trichinella spp., which can be used to guide future interventions to improve both porcine and human health in these provinces.
Migraine Visual Aura and Cortical Spreading Depression—Linking Mathematical Models to Empirical Evidence
Authors: O’Hare Louise , Asher Jordi M. , Hibbard Paul B.
Published: June 2021

This review describes the subjective experience of visual aura in migraine, outlines theoretical models of this phenomenon, and explores how these may be linked to neurochemical, electrophysiological, and psychophysical differences in sensory processing that have been reported in migraine with aura. Reaction–diffusion models have been used to model the hallucinations thought to arise from cortical spreading depolarisation and depression in migraine aura. One aim of this review is to make the underlying principles of these models accessible to a general readership. Cortical spreading depolarisation and depression in these models depends on the balance of the diffusion rate between excitation and inhibition and the occurrence of a large spike in activity to initiate spontaneous pattern formation. We review experimental evidence, including recordings of brain activity made during the aura and attack phase, self-reported triggers of migraine, and psychophysical studies of visual processing in migraine with aura, and how these might relate to mechanisms of excitability that make some people susceptible to aura. Increased cortical excitability, increased neural noise, and fluctuations in oscillatory activity across the migraine cycle are all factors that are likely to contribute to the occurrence of migraine aura. There remain many outstanding questions relating to the current limitations of both models and experimental evidence. Nevertheless, reaction–diffusion models, by providing an integrative theoretical framework, support the generation of testable experimental hypotheses to guide future research.

Published: June 2021

O estudo identificou a percepção ambiental de 148 alunos do ensino fundamental em Itajubá (MG) e a relação com o ambiente no qual vivem. Para tanto, adaptou-se o Método de Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin e as etapas do processo perceptivo de Del Rio. Foram definidas seis categorias perceptivas: Naturalista, Antropocêntrica, Globalizante, Romântica, Idílica e Não Identificada. Os alunos demonstram uma visão simplista sobre meio ambiente, na qual os elementos e representações são distantes do contexto local, compreendendo, na maioria, concepções Naturalistas. Portanto, é necessário melhorar a abordagem da Educação Ambiental nas escolas, buscando-se a concepção Globalizante na formação de sujeitos participativos e sensibilizados.

Perspectivas de movilidad y preferencias por la redistribución en América Latina
Authors:   , Lasarga Evelin
Published: June 2021

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo aportar evidencia acerca de la hipótesis POUM (prospects of upward mobility) en América Latina. La misma postula que las preferencias por la redistribución disminuyen con las perspectivas de movilidad ascendente de los individuos, dado que ante una posible mejora económica serían perjudicados por la redistribución. Se analiza el caso de Latinoamérica para el período 2009-2018, que ha registrado cambios en la desigualdad y la movilidad intrageneracional en parte, debido a un despliegue de políticas redistributivas en la década pasada. Para ello se utilizan datos de Latinobarómetro y la metodología Probit-Adapted OLS. Los resultados obtenidos muestran el cumplimiento de la hipótesis POUM, a diferencia de lo que obtienen los estudios realizados para períodos anteriores, en otro contexto de desigualdad y movilidad en Latinoamérica. Además, se obtienen resultados sugerentes acerca de la influencia de la movilidad intergeneracional, la religiosidad, la ideología y la calidad institucional sobre las preferencias por la redistribución. Cabe destacar que estos resultados varían según el país de que se trate.

Abstrak

       Pengauditan pada organisasi sektor publik menjadi isu penting guna mewujudkan good governance. Pemeriksaan tersebut merupakan investigasi independen terhadap beberapa kegiatan tertentu, dalam hal ini lebih difokuskan pada tata kelola keuangan desa dan akuntansi. Mekanisme audit merupakan mekanisme yang dapat menggerakkan makna akuntabilitas dalam pengelolaan sektor publik dalam hal ini lembaga pengelola kekayaan negara termasuk pemerintah desa dan pengelolaan dan pemerintahan keuangan desa. Dengan berlakunya Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 tentang Desa, membawa konsekuensi bahwa desa diberi kesempatan yang besar untuk mengurus sendiri pemerintahan dan pelaksanaan pembangunan guna meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan kualitas hidup masyarakat pedesaan. Selain itu, pemerintah desa diharapkan lebih mandiri dalam mengelola pemerintahan dan berbagai sumber daya alam yang dimilikinya, termasuk dalam pengelolaan keuangan dan aset desa. Besar dan vitalnya peran yang diterima desa tentunya harus dibarengi dengan tanggung jawab dan akuntabilitas yang besar pula. Oleh karena itu, pemerintahan desa harus mampu menerapkan asas akuntabilitas dalam penyelenggaraannya, dimana semua kegiatan akhir pemerintahan desa harus dapat dipertanggungjawabkan kepada masyarakat desa sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku.

Abstract

      Auditing for public sector organizations has become an important issue in order to realize good governance. The audit is an independent investigation of several specific activities, in this case it is more focused on village financial governance and accounting. Audit mechanism is a mechanism that can move the meaning of accountability in the management of the public sector in this case the state asset management institutions including the village government and village finance management and governance. The enactment of Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, has the consequence that villages are given a great opportunity to take care of their own governance and implementation of development to improve the welfare and quality of life of rural communities. In addition, the village government is expected to be more independent in managing the government and various natural resources they have, including the management of village finances and assets. The large and vital role that accepted by the village, of course,must accompanied by great responsibility and accountabilityas well. Therefore, the village government must be able to apply the principle of accountability in its governance, where all the end activities of village governance must be accountable to the village community in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Keywords:     public sector auditing, village accounting & governance, transparency and accountability.
Particle Size Estimation in Mixed Commercial Waste Images Using Deep Learning
Authors: Kittiworapanya Phongsathorn , Pasupa Kitsuchart , Auer Peter
Published: June 2021

This work was presented at the 10th Joint Symposium on Computational Intelligence (JSCI10), organized by the IEEE-CIS Thailand Chapter, that aims to support research students and young researchers, to create a place enabling participants to share and discuss on their research prior to publishing their works. The event was open to all researchers who want to broaden their knowledge in the field of computational intelligence.

We assessed several state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms and computer vision techniques for estimating the particle size of mixed commercial waste from images. In waste management, the first step is often coarse shredding, using the particle size to set up the shredder machine. The difficulty is separating the waste particles in an image, which can not be performed well. This work focused on estimating size by using the texture from the input image, captured at a fixed height from the camera lens to the ground. We found that EfficientNet achieved the best performance of 0.72 on F1-Score and 75.89% on accuracy.

Caracterização e análise comparativa da pesca industrial de emalhe-de-fundo costeiro, considerando a evolução física da frota a partir de 1995 e a produção pesqueira entre 2001 e 2010
Authors: Occhialini Daniela Sarcinelli , Rodrigues Ana Maria Torres , Kotas Jorge Eduardo
Published: June 2021

O processo de gestão da pesca industrial costeiro de emalhe-de-fundo encontra-se em andamento no Brasil. A modalidade caracteriza-se por atuar sobre recursos pesqueiros demersais, cujo principal alvo na atualidade é a corvina (Micropogonias furnieri), capturando também volumes significativos de elasmobrânquios e que no início do desenvolvimento dessa pescaria eram a principal biomassa capturada, representados principalmente pelos cações-anjo (gênero Squatina) e que atualmente se encontram ameaçados de extinção. A pesca de emalhe-de-fundo também é responsável pela captura incidental (bycatch) de outros inúmeros organismos da fauna silvestre. Este trabalho objetivou caracterizar e analisar a pesca industrial de emalhe-de-fundo costeiro, em Santa Catarina, entre 1995 e 2010, para oferecer subsídios ao referido processo de gestão. As análises realizadas identificaram o aumento do esforço de pesca aplicado pela modalidade no período considerado, tanto em número de barcos em operação, quanto pelo maior comprimento das redes utilizadas. Verificou ainda, que a frota passou a operar preferencialmente, acima da isóbata de 30 metros. A corvina atingiu o patamar de mais de 60% da produção da modalidade, enquanto que muitos elasmobrânquios encontram-se em situação de grave ameaça, evidenciada pelo forte declínio nos rendimentos dessas espécies, especialmente, dos cações mangona (Carcharias taurus) e martelo (Sphyrna lewini e S. zygaena). Recomenda-se a adoção urgente de medidas de gestão integradas para recuperação desses recursos, especialmente, no que se refere à limitação do esforço de pesca atual, o estabelecimento de áreas de exclusão total e parcial à pesca, além da implementação de um período de defeso de primavera e verão.

The article considersboth advantages and disadvantages of the widespread use of genetically modified foodsamong the population. Special attention is drawn to insufficient arguments of their supporters and opponents. The authors of the article propose to focus on the possible advances and risks of genetically modified foodsfor public health. A state policy of approving or prohibiting the use of genetically modified foods, including the relevant bio-policy, should be based on the priority of human life and health and the interests of consumers of food products. Other arguments are secondary and subsidiary for making the most important political decisions affecting the foundations of human life and the environment. Methods: The research was carried out from the standpoint of theoretical analysis,general (sociological, systemic, structural, functional) and specialscientific methods (comparative jurisprudence, technical and legal analysis, specification, interpretation). The methodological basis of this study was the theory of knowledge.Objective: The article aims at studying the possibility of GMO turnover in Russia, as well as determining the purposes of their use and legal regulation.Results:It was concluded that the market authorization of genetically modified products and the issuance of appropriate permissions to use them as food products, whoseingredients contain a modified gene, make states answer the following question: “Do these genetically modified products preservepublic health and the health of a particular individual?”.If such a goal is not pursued, there is no social need (at least, in Russia) to introduce such products into civil circulation.

Authors: Viale Lescano Domingo Jerónimo , Ford Ferrer Guillermo
Published: June 2021

En la primera parte: la ley de la navegación (20.094), nos referimos a los intereses del crédito naval, comenzando por el orden de los privilegios en el crédito naval, analizando los privilegios marítimos y la ley de concursos, así como los privilegios marítimos y el código civil y comercial. Luego señalamos que, como un rasgo atípico de los privilegios navales, comparados con el resto de los establecidos en el ordenamiento jurídico argentino, los intereses debidos por un (1) año gozan del mismo grado de privilegio que el capital (art. 474). Revisamos los privilegios sobre el buque, y destacamos cuáles son los créditos privilegiados. Pasamos luego revista a los intereses en la hipoteca naval, estudiando el contenido del instrumento de constitución de hipoteca. a continuación, nos detenemos en la determinación de la tasa de interés, para seguir con el embargo de buques, analizando lo que se refiere al buque con bandera nacional, donde señalamos que el embargo abarcará el importe de los intereses y la fianza. Tratamos luego el concurso especial de acreedores sobre un buque. En la segunda parte nos referimos al código aeronáutico, comenzando por la hipoteca aeronáutica, y siguiendo por los intereses, conforme al art. 767 del CCCN. ABSTRACT: In the first part: the law of navigation (20.094), we refer to the interests of the naval credit, starting with the order of privileges in the naval credit, analyzing the maritime privileges and the law of competitions, as well as maritime liens and the civil and commercial code. We then point out that, as an atypical feature of naval privileges, compared with the rest of those established in the argentine legal system, the interests due for one (1) year enjoy the same degree of privilege as capital (art. 474). We review the privileges on the ship, and highlight which are the privileged credits. we then review the interests in the naval mortgage, studying the content of the instrument of constitution of mortgage. Then we stop in the determination of the interest rate, to continue with the arrest of ships, analyzing what refers to the ship with national flag, where we point out that the arrest will cover the amount of the interest and the bond. We then discussed the special arrangement of creditors on a ship. In the second part we refer to the aeronautical code, starting with the aeronautical mortgage, and continuing with the interests, according to art. 767 of the CCCN.

This research focuses on the design of a fault diagnosis methodology to contribute to the improvement of efficiency, maintainability and availability indicators of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems. To achieve this, we start from the study of the mathematical model of the photovoltaic generator, then, a procedure is performed to quantify the operational losses of the photovoltaic generator and adjust the mathematical model of this to the real conditions of the system, through a polynomial adjustment. A real system of nominal power 7.5 kWp installed in the Solar Energy Research Center of the province of Santiago de Cuba is used to evaluate the proposed methodology. Based on the results obtained, the proposed approach is validated to demonstrate that it successfully supervises the system. The methodology was able to detect and identify 100% of the simulated failures and the tests carried out had a maximum false alarm rate of 0.22%, evidencing its capacity.

A fungal parasite selects against body size but not fluctuating asymmetry in Swiss subalpine yellow dung flies
Authors: Blanckenhorn Wolf U.
Published: June 2021

Evidence for selective disadvantages of large body size remains scarce in general. Previous studies of the yellow dung fly Scathophaga stercoraria have demonstrated strong positive sexual and fecundity selection on male and female size. Nevertheless, the body size of flies from a Swiss study population has declined by ~10% 1993–2009. Given substantial heritability of body size, this negative evolutionary response of an evidently positively selected trait suggests important selective factors being missed. An episodic epidemic outbreak of the fungus Entomophthora scatophagae permitted assessment of natural selection exerted by this fatal parasite. Fungal infection varied over the season from ~50% in the cooler and more humid spring and autumn to almost 0% in summer. The probability of dying from fungal infection increased with adult fly body size. Females never laid any eggs after infection, so there was no fungus effect on female fecundity beyond its impact on mortality. Large males showed their typical mating advantage in the field, but this positive sexual selection was nullified by fungal infection. Mean fluctuating asymmetry of paired appendages (legs, wings) did not affect the viability, fecundity or mating success of yellow dung flies in the field. This study documents rare parasite-mediated disadvantages of large-sized flies in the field. Reduced ability to combat parasites such as Entomophthora may be an immunity cost of large body size in dung flies, although the hypothesized trade-off between fluctuating asymmetry, a presumed indicator of developmental instability and environmental stress, and immunocompetence was not found here.
Neurological Complications of COVID-19 in Children
Authors: Ahmad Saba
Published: June 2021

Neurological complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are highly variable and can be quite severe, but they are rare in children. A careful understanding of the variety of presentations of neurological symptoms related to COVID-19 is critical for the effective management of these patients. Given the smaller numbers of children with these complications, a comprehensive review of neurological presentations in adults with COVID-19 may help facilitate the understanding of those complications that may present in children and how these presentations may be similar.

Discrete-time realization of fractional-order proportional integral controller for a class of fractional-order system
Authors: Swarnakar Jaydeep
Published: June 2021

The approximation of the fractional-order controller (FOC) has already been recognized as a distinguished field of research in the literature of system and control. In this paper, a two-step design approach is presented to realize a fractional-order proportional integral controller (FOPI) for a class of fractional-order plant model. The design goals are based on some frequency domain specifications. The first stage of the work is focused on developing the pure continuous-time FOC, while the second stage actually realizes the FOPI controller in discrete-time representation. The presented approach is fundamentally dissimilar with respect to the conventional approaches of z -domain. In the process of realizing the FOC, the delta operator has been involved as a generating function due to its exclusive competency to unify the discrete-time system and its continuous-time counterpart at low sampling time limit. The well-known continued fraction expansion (CFE) method has been employed to approximate the FOPI controller in delta-domain. Simulation outcomes exhibit that the discrete-time FOPI controller merges to its continuous-time counterpart at the low sampling time limit. The robustness of the overall system is also investigated in delta-domain.

Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) in the gut mucosa have long been thought to be noncytotoxic lymphocytes that are critical for homeostasis of intestinal epithelial cells through secretion of IL-22. Recent work using human tonsillar cells demonstrated that ILC3s exposed to exogenous inflammatory cytokines for a long period of time acquired expression of granzyme B, suggesting that under pathological conditions ILC3s may become cytotoxic. We hypothesized that inflammation associated with bacterial exposure might trigger granzyme B expression in gut ILC3s. To test this, we exposed human colon lamina propria mononuclear cells to a panel of enteric bacteria. We found that the Gram-negative commensal and pathogenic bacteria induced granzyme B expression in a subset of ILC3s that were distinct from IL-22–producing ILC3s. A fraction of granzyme B+ ILC3s coexpressed the cytolytic protein perforin. Granzyme B expression was mediated, in part, by IL-15 produced upon exposure to bacteria. ILC3s coexpressing all three IL-15R subunits (IL15Rα/β/γ) increased following bacterial stimulation, potentially allowing for cis presentation of IL-15 during bacterial exposure. Additionally, a large frequency of colonic myeloid dendritic cells expressed IL-15Rα, implicating myeloid dendritic cells in trans presentation of IL-15 to ILC3s. Tonsillar ILC3s minimally expressed granzyme B when exposed to the same bacteria or to rIL-15. Overall, these data establish the novel, to our knowledge, finding that human colonic ILC3s can express granzyme B in response to a subset of enteric bacteria through a process mediated by IL-15. These observations raise new questions about the multifunctional role of human gut ILC3s.
Complement Receptor 3 Forms a Compact High-Affinity Complex with iC3b

Published: June 2021

Complement receptor 3 (CR3, also known as Mac-1, integrin αMβ2, or CD11b/CD18) is expressed on a subset of myeloid and certain activated lymphoid cells. CR3 is essential for the phagocytosis of complement-opsonized particles such as pathogens and apoptotic or necrotic cells opsonized with the complement fragment iC3b and, to a lesser extent, C3dg. Although the interaction between the iC3b thioester domain and the ligand binding CR3 αM I-domain is structurally and functionally well characterized, the nature of additional CR3–iC3b interactions required for phagocytosis of complement-opsonized objects remains obscure. In this study, we analyzed the interaction between iC3b and the 150-kDa headpiece fragment of the CR3 ectodomain. Surface plasmon resonance experiments demonstrated a 30 nM affinity of the CR3 headpiece for iC3b compared with 515 nM for the iC3b thioester domain, whereas experiments monitoring binding of iC3b to CR3-expressing cells suggested an affinity of 50 nM for the CR3–iC3b interaction. Small angle x-ray scattering analysis revealed that iC3b adopts an extended but preferred conformation in solution. Upon interaction with CR3, iC3b rearranges to form a compact receptor–ligand complex. Overall, the data suggest that the iC3b–CR3 interaction is of high affinity and relies on minor contacts formed between CR3 and regions outside the iC3b thioester domain. Our results rationalize the more efficient phagocytosis elicited by iC3b than by C3dg and pave the way for the development of specific therapeutics for the treatment of inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases that do not interfere with the recognition of noncomplement CR3 ligands.
