Published: September 2023

The emergence and spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) poses a new public health threat to the entire world (SARS-CoV-2). This new virus is highly contagious and pathogenetically different from other mainstream respiratory viruses. Clinical staff can benefit from Computer Aided Diagnostics (CAD) systems that combine deep learning algorithms and image processing technologies as diagnostic tools for COVID-19. These tools also help to better understand the course of the disease. In most cases, medical staff and healthcare facilities would be more equipped to promptly diagnose COVID-19 for patients with improved flexibility. To examine the training performance of the contemporary YOLOv4 model, this work presents the development of a computer-assisted automatic detection system that focuses specifically on identifying viral cells in blood samples from patients using electron microscopy images to detect the infected blood cell. The mean average precision of the proposed custom model is 86.5%mAP, making it suitable for the upcoming COVID-19 monitoring systems.

Published: September 2023

In the modern lifestyle, an increase in psychological pressures was observed, leading to an increase in various diseases, which increased the need for diagnosis and treatment, (i.e., increased demand for) equipment to monitor vital activities, Therefore, a microstrip patch antenna was suggested as the topic of this article because it is popular in wireless systems due to its low cost, lightweight, and thin profile. The proposed design is made of FR-4 as a substrate material, and copper for the patch and the ground. The reader can notice that our proposed antenna owns the following resonance frequencies: (3.68), (6.48), and (7.93) GHz respectively. The gain values for the previous resonance frequencies were respectively (27) dBi, (11.1) dBi, and (4.19) dBi, while the values of directivity were (32.17) dBi, (15.70) dBi, and (7.984) dBi. The radiation efficiency values were (-5.179) dB, (-4.561) dB, and (-3.789) dB, while the values of the total efficiency were (-5.207) dB, (-4.631) dB, and (-3.799) dB The operating bandwidths were: (0.1146) GHz, (0.2764) GHz, and (0.3641) GHz.

Improvement of the Power System's Transient Stability Using the Unified Power Flow Controller with Fuzzy Logic Technique
Authors: Raghad Hameed Ahmed  , Ahmed Said Nouri
Published: September 2023

By combining the functions of many FACTS (flexible alternative current transmission systems) devices into a single unit, the UPFC (unified power flow controller) is the most efficient FACTS device available. Two voltage converters work together to form the Unified Power Flow Controller, a flexible tool for enhancing voltage regulation, power flow management, and power system stability. Both converters rely heavily on their control methods. This article discusses the power flow mechanism in a transmission line, which is necessary for understanding the functioning of UPFC in a transmission line and using a standard PI controller with voltage references in the control circuit of both converters. This study aims to enhance the power system's dependability and stability by developing a smart support-based UPFC device. Fuzzy logic is a useful tool for controlling UPFC equipment in a variety of failure scenarios. The fuzzy logic controller contrasts power grid characteristics such as a rotor speed deviation to a reference value to create operational pulses for the voltage source converter in the UPFC system. The suggested model will be tested using MATLAB simulation. The success of the proposed model is shown by thoroughly comparing simulation results to those of previously established models. This research paper's original contribution is the creation of a smart support-based UPFC device with fuzzy logic control. By comparing power system parameters such as rotor speed deviation to a reference value and generating operational pulses for the voltage source converter in the UPFC system, this technique increases the electricity grid's dependability and stability. The effectiveness of the suggested model is proved by a comparison of simulation results obtained in a MATLAB environment with those obtained from previously developed models.
Numerical Simulation of a Partly Filled Rectangular Tank with Fuel Oil

Published: September 2023

Sloshing refers to a certain kind of fluid movement that changes as it progresses. It possesses properties that are both nonlinear and exceedingly unpredictable, and these properties affect the tank wall. This effect may lead to structural wear, which in turn can cause the tank to fail. Benzene and gasoil liquids are used to test the effect of sloshing liquid and accompanying pressure on the wall tank caused by the baffles in partially full fluid tanks. To attain this, modeling of the interaction between fluid and structure is justified using the finite element analysis while the ANSYS Fluent is used to do the simulation. Specifically, the analysis enables us to anticipate the pressure that is being exerted on the shield, the influence of sloshing on the grounding point forces, and the size of the sloshing waves. The pressure distribution over time indicates a reduction of pressure on the tank wall as a result of utilising a vertical baffle if compared to the case of a tank wall without a baffle. The usage of vertical shields allows for around 20% of the greatest contact energy to be deflected, which is attributed to the potential of generating turbulence and vortices by the baffle.

Authors: Gusson H. Al-Momen  , Redvan Ghasemlounia
Published: September 2023

The construction industry is considered a high-risk business. Risk management is one of the most influential methods used in construction project management to increase the chances of delivering the project successfully, Risk Assessment (RA) is necessary to help organizations identify and mitigate risks; therefore, this paper suggests a framework for developing an intelligent RA. There are many Risk Factors (RF) that affect construction projects, and they vary from one country to another. In this paper, a questionnaire of forty-one questions about RF was performed; its evaluation criteria are risk probability and its impact on cost, time, and quality, this questionnaire relied on several experts’ opinions to identify the most common RF affecting Iraqi construction projects. The collected linguistic data were converted into a triangular fuzzy number. Qualitative Risk Analysis was performed to assess the priority of the identified risks; while the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was proposed as the intelligent model. The training outcome produced three Fuzzy Inference Systems (FISs) models evaluated using the fuzzy designer application and tested using the fuzzy designer app and MATLAB Simulink to evaluate their accuracy and reliability. Finally, a set of corrective actions were suggested to facilitate the task for users.

It was also revealed that, unlike the Dagombas, the Ashantis and the Gas are of the view that, wearing the hat is purposely for complementing one’s clothing. The study concluded that, the Dagomba, the Ashantis and the Gas all depict their culture of hats in variety of ways.
DEMOCRATIC SCHOOL MANAGEMENT
Authors: Bartinelly Sousa da Silva Melo Sílvia
Published: September 2023

The educational environment, as a significant social provider, is the result of a collection of protagonists, who, in turn, as demanders of education, have responsibilities that are often not properly assumed. The present article brings to the question the democratization of school management. It presents the high level of difficulty that this action brings with it, considering the experience in a society whose standards are filled with authoritarianism, based on an exacerbated exercise of power not only in a political vision, but also social and economic. The little one reproduces itself and thereby produces the great; and the school, as an institution of the system, is subject to this ambiguous, or perhaps even contradictory, relation as it incorporates the very title of the article. There is a whole historical movement in the search of decentralizing the power in the management of public policies that attempt in the direction of the municipal power. However, a question runs through what is said in this article: how to democratize school in a society that, at times, still resists the basic principles of democracy? This work does not have definite and conclusive answers, but it is concerned with pointing out certain biases that may (or may not) lead to a democratized school process, from a management that makes democracy its greatest desire. In accordance with the information acquired during the work, at the end some considerations are established, through which it is intended to assist other research that may be triggered.
Funding primary health care service delivery in the West Nile sub-region, Uganda
Authors: Kyohairwe Stella B , Yikii Agatre Christopher
Published: September 2023

The provision of primary health care services is a global concern and quality health service delivery is based on a number of factors, including motivated health workers, good-quality infrastructure, consistent supply of medicines and technologies, adequate funding, sound health plans, and evidence-based policies. This study investigated the funding of primary health care service delivery in three local government districts in Uganda’s West Nile sub-region, and identified deficiencies in the allocation, disbursement and timeliness of health funding which have a negative impact on service delivery. Inadequate funding affects the quality of services, limits essential supplies and causes excessive reliance on private financing, which is not sustainable in poor rural economies. In view of these findings, the study recommended deliberate action by both central government and district councils to increase the percentage of funding allocated in their annual budgets to the health sector, in line with the 2001 Abuja Declaration. The government of Uganda should consider prioritising an increase in total national budget allocations to local governments; primary health care disbursements from central government should be paid on time directly to health facilities by use of the ‘straight-through processing system’ for all types of funding; the government should introduce, support and encourage additional community financing initiatives such as Community Health Insurance Schemes; and district and local community leaders should be sensitised on the benefits of this approach.

Published: September 2023

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar a necessidade da inserção do conhecimento da Constituição Federal como tema transversal em instituições escolares de ensino médio e fundamental. Destaca-se que para ser realmente um cidadão, gozando dos direitos políticos, civis e sociais, é importante compreender quais são os direitos fundamentais de cada pessoa, bem como os seus deveres perante a sociedade. A maneira mais adequada de aprender sobre da sua cidadania é estudando a Carta Magna do seu país, pois nela há todas as disposições legais que regem a vida das pessoas e das instituições. Propõe-se a introdução deste tema transversal na grade curricular das instituições educacionais brasileiras, se baseando primeiramente na disposição legal que assegura que os conhecimentos sobre ética e cidadania devem ser providos pelas escolas, bem como na utilização de diversos pensamentos acerca do tema. Os temas tratados se respaldam principalmente nas pesquisas de José Murilo de Carvalho (2002) ao conceituar de maneira tríplice a cidadania, e em Oliveira (2016) ao propor uma mudança legislativa que inclui o estudo constitucional nas grades curriculares, de maneira introdutória no ensino fundamental, e de maneira mais abrangente no ensino médio, respeitando assim o desenvolvimento progressivo dos alunos.

Abstract. Aerosol particles in Southeast Asia are challenging to characterize due to
their complex life cycle within the diverse topography and weather of the
region. An emerging aerosol climatology was established based on AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET)
data (December 2009 to October 2018) for clear-sky days in Metro Manila,
the Philippines. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) values were highest from August to
October, partly from fine urban aerosol particles, including soot,
coinciding with the burning season in insular Southeast Asia when smoke is
often transported to Metro Manila during the southwest monsoon. Clustering
of AERONET volume size distributions (VSDs) resulted in five aerosol particle
sources based on the position and magnitude of their peaks in the VSD and
the contributions of specific particle species to AOD per cluster based on
MERRA-2. The clustering showed that the majority of aerosol particles above
Metro Manila were from a clean marine source (58 %), which could be
related to AOD values there being relatively low compared to other cities in
the region. The following are the other particle sources over Metro Manila:
fine polluted sources (20 %), mixed-dust sources (12 %), urban and industrial sources (5 %), and
cloud processing sources (5 %). Furthermore, MERRA-2 AOD data over Southeast Asia
were analyzed using empirical orthogonal functions. Along with AOD
fractional compositional contributions and wind regimes, four dominant
aerosol particle air masses emerged: two sulfate air masses from East Asia,
an organic carbon source from Indonesia, and a sulfate source from the
Philippines. Knowing the local and regional aerosol particle air masses that
impact Metro Manila is useful in identifying the sources while gaining
insight into how aerosol particles are affected by long-range transport and
their impact on regional weather.

Heterogeneous ice nucleation is thought to be the primary pathway for the formation of ice in mixed-phase clouds, with the number of active ice-nucleating particles (INPs) increasing rapidly with decreasing temperature. Here, molecular-dynamics simulations of heterogeneous ice nucleation demonstrate that the ice nucleation rate is also sensitive to pressure and that negative pressure within supercooled water shifts freezing temperatures to higher temperatures. Negative pressure, or tension, occurs naturally in water capillary bridges and pores and can also result from water agitation. Capillary bridge simulations presented in this study confirm that negative Laplace pressure within the water increases heterogeneous-freezing temperatures. The increase in freezing temperatures with negative pressure is approximately linear within the atmospherically relevant range of 1 to −1000 atm. An equation describing the slope depends on the latent heat of freezing and the molar volume difference between liquid water and ice. Results indicate that negative pressures of −500 atm, which correspond to nanometer-scale water surface curvatures, lead to a roughly 4 K increase in heterogeneous-freezing temperatures. In mixed-phase clouds, this would result in an increase of approximately 1 order of magnitude in active INP concentrations. The findings presented here indicate that any process leading to negative pressure in supercooled water may play a role in ice formation, consistent with experimental evidence of enhanced ice nucleation due to surface geometry or mechanical agitation of water droplets. This points towards the potential for dynamic processes such as contact nucleation and droplet collision or breakup to increase ice nucleation rates through pressure perturbations.

Abstract. Although calcium is known to be enriched in sea spray aerosols (SSAs), the factors that affect its enrichment remain ambiguous. In this study, we examine how environmental factors affect the distribution of water-soluble calcium (Ca2+) distribution in SSAs. We obtained our dataset from observations taken during the R/V Xuelong research cruise in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, from December 2017 to February 2018.
Our observations showed that the enrichment of Ca2+ in aerosol samples
was enhanced under specific conditions, including lower temperatures
(<-3.5 ∘C), lower wind speeds (<7 m s−1), and
the presence of sea ice. Our analysis of individual particle mass spectra
revealed that a significant portion of calcium in SSAs was likely bound with organic matter (in the form of a single-particle type, OC-Ca, internally mixed organics with calcium). Our findings suggest that current estimations of Ca2+ enrichment based solely on water-soluble Ca2+ may be inaccurate. Our study is the first to observe
a single-particle type dominated by calcium in the Antarctic atmosphere. Our
findings suggest that future Antarctic atmospheric modeling should take into account the environmental behavior of individual OC-Ca particles. With the ongoing
global warming and retreat of sea ice, it is essential to understand the
mechanisms of calcium enrichment and the mixing state of individual
particles to better comprehend the interactions between aerosols, clouds,
and climate during the Antarctic summer.

Abstract. There are many cropping systems followed in Floodplain soils for enhancing cropping intensity for increasing crop production, but greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions balances of agricultural systems are rarely reported. To estimate the carbon (C) footprints of agricultural products a co-designed C footprint calculation tool with a life cycle assessment approach was used in major cropping systems in Bangladesh: rice-rice-rice (R-R-R/boro-aus-aman), rice-fallow-rice (R-F-R/boro-fallow-aman), maize-fallow-rice (M-F-R), wheat-mungbean-rice (W-M-R), and potato-rice-fallow (P-R-F). GHG emissions were estimated using the tool along with the field measurements. It was found that rice-based cropping pattern with dryland crops had higher nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (3.98 in maize, 3.89 in potato and 0.72 kg N2O-N ha−1 in mungbean) than sole rice-based (0.73 in boro, 0.57 in aus and 1.94 kg N2O-N ha−1 in aman) cropping systems but methane (CH4) emissions were higher in sole rice-based patterns than dryland crops. Methane contributed to about 50–80 % of total GHG emissions from rice cultivation due to waterlogging conditions throughout the season. In R-R-R and R-F-R cropping patterns, the only ones including boro rice, had the highest total C footprint with 26.3 and 19.5 Mg CO2e ha−1, respectively while the P-F-R and M-F-R had the lowest C footprint with 13 Mg CO2e ha−1. Changes in soil organic C generally had a minor influence on C footprints in the studied systems, and only boro and aus from R-F-R and R-R-R patterns were relatively more suitable for reducing C footprint as they sequestered C in soil. Measured CH4 and N2O emissions agreed well with IPCC tier 1 estimates, but they were only available for boro, maize and wheat so further study is required for validation and suggesting suitable GHG mitigation strategies from agricultural fields.

Abstract. Systematic observations were conducted to investigate the spatio-temporal structures of blowing snow. Along a line perpendicular to the dominant wind direction on the leeside of a flat field, fifteen Snow Particle Counters (SPCs) and Ultra Sonic Anemometers (USAs) were placed 1.5 m apart. Data were recorded at high frequencies of 100 kHz for SPCs and 1 kHz for USAs. The horizontal mass flux distributions, representing the spatio-temporal variability of blowing snow, exhibited non-uniformity in both time and space and manifested periodic changes akin to snow waves. Additionally, the presence of 'snow snakes,' meandering near the snow surface, was observed. Quadrant analysis revealed predominant snow fluxes in quadrants Q1 (u'>0, w'>0) and Q4 (u'>0, w'<0). However, a more detailed parametric curve analysis indicated the existence of ejection events Q2 (u'<0, w'>0) before snow waves and in front of snow snakes, shifting to Q1 and Q4 afterward, implying the consideration of both top-down and bottom-up mechanisms for burst sweep events.
Stream hydrology controls on ice cliff generation, evolution, and survival on debris-covered glaciers

Abstract. Ice cliffs are melt hot spots that contribute disproportionately to melt on debris-covered glaciers. In this study, we investigate the impact of supraglacial stream hydrology on ice cliffs using in-situ and remote sensing observations, stream flow measurements, and a conceptual geomorphic model of ice cliff backwasting applied to ice cliffs on Kennicott Glacier, Alaska. We found that 31.4 % of ice cliffs are actively influenced by streams, while 46.4 % are less than 10 m from the nearest stream. Supraglacial streams contribute to ice cliff formation and maintenance by horizontal meandering, vertical incision, and debris transport. Meander morphology reminiscent of sedimentary river channel meanders and oxbow lakes leads to sinuous or crescent-shaped ice cliff shapes. Stream action at the base of ice cliffs aids in cliff maintenance by enhancing incision and preventing reburial. These processes produce an undercut lip and transport clasts up to tens of centimeters in diameter. Stream avulsions result in rapid ice cliff collapse and local channel abandonment. Ice cliffs abandoned by streams are observed to be reburied by supraglacial debris, indicating a strong role played by streams in ice cliff persistence. The development of landscape evolution models may assist in quantifying the total net effect of these processes on steady state ice cliff coverage and mass balance on debris-covered glaciers.

Abstract. Climate field reconstruction (CFR) refers to the estimation of spatiotemporal climate fields (such as surface temperature) from a collection of pointwise paleoclimate proxy datasets. The climate fields can provide rich information on climate dynamics and provide an out-of-sample validation of climate models. However, most CFR workflows are complex and timeconsuming, as they involve: (i) preprocessing of the proxy records, climate model simulations, and instrumental observations, (ii) application of one or more statistical methods, and (iii) analysis and visualization of the reconstruction results. Historically, this process has lacked transparency and accessibility, limiting reproducibility and experimentation by non-specialists. This article presents an open-source and object-oriented Python package called cfr that aims to make CFR workflows easy to understand and conduct, saving climatologists from technical details and facilitating efficient and reproducible research. It provides user-friendly utilities for common CFR tasks such as proxy and climate data analysis and visualization, proxy system modeling, and modularized workflows for multiple reconstruction methods, enabling methodological intercomparisons within the same framework. The package is supported with an extensive documentation of the application interface (API) and a growing number of tutorial notebooks illustrating its usage. As an example, we present two cfr-driven reconstruction experiments using the PAGES 2k temperature database: applying the last millennium reanalysis (LMR) paleoclimate data assimilation (PDA) framework and the Graphical Expectation-Maximization (GraphEM) algorithm, respectively.
