Contrasting Two Models of Utilitarian Reasoning
Authors: Antoniou Rea , Romero-Kornblum Heather , Young J. Clayton , You Michelle , Kramer Joel , Rankin Katherine P , Chiong Winston
Published: September 2022

One influential framework for examining human moral cognition has been a dual process model, in which utilitarian judgment (e.g., infliction of harm for the greater good) is associated with cognitive control processes, while non-utilitarian judgment (e.g., avoiding such harms) is associated with emotional, automatic processes. Another framework of moral cognition, the two-dimensional model of utilitarian psychology, posits that utilitarian choices may reflect either instrumental harm, i.e., inflicting harm on an individual for the greater good; or impartial beneficence, i.e., impartially and altruistically acting for the benefit of the overall welfare. We evaluated preregistered hypotheses (https://osf.io/m425d) derived from these models of moral cognition in a sample of 275 neurologically healthy older adults. Our results suggest that both the dual process and two-dimensional models provided insights regarding utilitarian reasoning, including three cardinal domains of conflict between utilitarianism and common-sense morality: agent-centered permissions, special obligations, and personal rights. One prediction of the dual process-based model was supported by our findings, with higher emotionality associated with decreased endorsement of utilitarian judgments (b = - 0.12, p < .001). We also found partial support for the two-dimensional model, as utilitarian judgments about dilemmas involving agent-centered permissions and personal rights were dissociated; however, both sets of judgments were associated with utilitarian judgments involving special obligations (p < .001 and p = .008, respectively). We propose that our findings, with support for some elements of the dual process and two-dimensional models, can be integrated into a revised two-dimensional model of utilitarian judgment as including impartial beneficence and acceptance of attributable harms.

Published: September 2022

This is a preprint of an article published in Journal of Research on Adolescence. The final authenticated version is available online at https://doi.org/10.1111/jora.12888. Using a newly developed version of the Trust Game among 196 adolescents aged 11-20, this study examined whether adolescents distinguish between trust and reciprocity choices to unknown peers, friends, and community members. We also tested for effects of age, gender, and individual differences in attending to others’ emotions, emotional support to friends, societal contributions, and institutional and interpersonal trust beliefs. Results indicate that adolescents showed the least trust and reciprocity to unknown peers, more to a community member, and most to friends. Reciprocity increased with age, and individual differences in societal contributions and interpersonal trust were positively related to trust and reciprocity. This study is the first to show that community members are a specific target in adolescents’ social world.
Negative Cognitions in the Personality Domains of the AMPD
Authors: Kienhöfer Valerie , Mirgel Sarah , Wilhelm Selina , Fischle Sonja , Rabl Luna , Labek Karin , Viviani Roberto
Published: September 2022

Healthy individuals show a tendency towards positive cognitions that is reversed during depression. This tendency is revealed by the Scrambled Sentences Task (SST), an experimental procedure that was also shown to be associated with vulnerability to suffer from depressive episodes. Here, we used the SST to map the prevalence of negative cognitions across the personality domains of criterion B of the Alternative Model of Personality Disorder (AMPD) of the DSM-5 in healthy individuals. The AMPD was developed to characterize personality in a dimensional approach spanning both healthy and pathological individuals. We expected negative cognitions to be more frequent among individuals with high negative affectivity and detachment scores, as these dimensions are thought to be associated with disorders of affect. This association was stable and significant in three separate experiments and persisted for detachment after adjusting for current depression levels. In the Five-Factor Model of Personality (FFM), in contrast, only openness failed to show any association with negative cognitions. Negative affectivity and detachment differed in the preferential association with negative and positive cognitions, respectively. This finding suggests a possible role of motivational factors related to sensitivity to negative and positive incentives in linking personality dimensions and cognitive tendencies, with an anhedonic dimension of negative cognitions being present alongside current depressive symptoms.
Scientific clickbait: Examining media coverage and readability in genome-wide association research
Authors: Garcia Jose Juan Morosoli , Colodro-Conde Lucía , Barlow Fiona , Medland Sarah
Published: September 2022

In the first systematic text mining review of media coverage of genome-wide association studies, we retrieved all GWAS publications indexed by GWAS Catalog. Our review includes 3,555 GWAS publications on 1,943 different traits. We analyzed trends in media coverage, readability, themes, and mentions of ethical and social issues, in over 5,000 websites published from 2005 to 2018. We found that 22.9% of GWAS papers received media attention but most were described in language too complex to be understood by the public. Ethical issues are rarely mentioned, and mentions to translation are increasing over time. We predicted media attention based on year of publication, number of genetic associations identified, study sample size, and journal impact factor, using a regression model (r2 = 38.7%). We found that chronotype, educational attainment, alcohol and coffee consumption, sexual orientation, tanning and hair color received substantially more attention than predicted by the regression model. We also evaluated the prevalence of the clickbait “one gene, one disease” headline (e.g., “Scientists Say They’ve Found Gene That Causes Breast Cancer”) and found that it is decline. In addition, we developed a website where all results described below can be explored interactively: https://jjmorosoli.shinyapps.io/newas/.
CUBA - THE EU : CONTROVERSIAL PARTNERSHIP
Authors: Kalashnikov Nikolai
Published: September 2022

The article studies the features of the establishment relations between Cuba and EU in the post-soviet period. Their development for more than 30 years has been uneven and conditionally divided into three stages. In the case of mutual economic interest of the parties, these stages are determined by the presence of a political factor. The European Union's efforts to achieve Havana's respect for its ideas about democracy and human rights have been met with constant resistance from Cuban authorities, who interpret such attempts as interference in internal affairs. The aggravation of political contradictions periodically led to a freezing of trade and economic ties. This situation reached critical scales after the adoption of the «Common Position» on Cuba by the European Union in 1996. At the same time, the peculiarity of the decisions taken by Brussels for political reasons was their non-proliferation to the bilateral relations of European countries with Cuba. It is necessary to take into consideration the changes of the international situation around Cuba. In particular, B. Obama's Cuban policy had an indirect influence on Europe's cancellation of the «Common Position», which opened up business opportunities for U.S. companies on the island and threatened the economic interests of the European Union here. This prompted Brussels to sign a cooperation agreement between Cuba and the EU in 2016, also as a result of political and economic changes on the island. However, the remaining contradictions are an obstacle to the establishment of a full partnership between Brussels and Havana.
STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF RUSSIAN EXPORTS TO THE LATIN AMERICAN MARKETS
Authors: Chuvychkina Inna
Published: September 2022

The Latin American region occupies a less significant share in the overall structure of Russian exports compared to traditional sales markets. Nevertheless, the region has recently been increasingly in the spotlight as a place for the geographical reorientation of foreign trade operations. Even though the corona crisis had a significant impact on the development of foreign trade relations with Latin America, export interest to the region was expressed in the pre-pandemic period through an increased volume of deliveries, a surplus in Russia’s trade balance and an increase in the number of counterparty countries. The article is devoted to the quantitative analysis of Russia’s foreign trade relations with the Latin America and the Caribbean. The empirical material for the analysis was a database that includes data on the export and import of Russian and Latin American goods in 2000-2020, as well as the countries to which these goods are exported or imported. The dataset contains information about the country of delivery, product code, cost, industry sector. Based on this database, a review of the qualitative structure of Russian exports in the region was carried out, considering the differentiation into raw materials, non-resource energy and non-resource non-energy supplies in the context of dividing into three stages: low, middle, and high value-added products. This approach contributed to the assessment of the diversification of Russian exports in terms of economic complexity. The article also gives an idea of the import structure of Latin American countries, which makes it possible to identify possible niches for Russian exports. In conclusion, the prospects for expanding Russian supplies to the region are presented and the challenges are identified that Russia may face in increasing its share of Latin American import markets.

Published: September 2022

City and their surroundings are functionally interdependent and it grows through interaction with the periphery. If an urban centre develops, it diffuses its development in surrounding rural areas which can help to develop the whole region. For this reason, it is necessary to find out the growth centres their functional relations with the adjoining area. This paper is an attempt to identify the functional importance of the urban centres their hierarchical distribution and also to delineate the sphere of influence of urban centres of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal. Various statistical techniques are to be incorporated for this purpose. The result indicates that higher the functional importance greater the zone of influence and vice-versa.

Sistem Pakar Diagnosis Hama Penyakit Tanaman Jeruk Keprok Borneo Prima (Citrus Reticulata) Dengan Fuzzy Tsukamoto
Authors: Eka Sari Wahyuni , Franz Annafi , Valentine Nikita
Published: September 2022

Borneo Prima Citrus (Citrus Reticulata) is a monoculture commodity that is susceptible to pests or diseases. The role of an expert is constrained by the fact that expert knowledge is not well documented, the detection process is still manual and expensive, and the distance between agricultural extension workers and plantation sites is far. This problem can be solved by an expert system. The Fuzzy-Tsukamoto method is suitable for solving citrus disease diagnosis problems which have many rules with several symptoms that can represent several diseases. Fuzzy Tsukamoto applies monotonous reasoning to each rule. If in monotonous reasoning, the system only has one rule, in the Tsukamoto method the system consists of several rules. Because it uses the basic concept of monotonous reasoning, in Fuzzy-Tsukamoto's method, every consequence of the IF-THEN rule is represented by a fuzzy set on a monotonic membership function. There were 13 citrus trees indicated to be infected with the disease, which was observed from 500 trees. The accuracy of the results obtained between the expert system and expert knowledge is 84% of 13 diseases and 36 symptoms. The result shows that there are two diseases that are not suitable and 11 diseases according to experts.
A method for visualizing of reproductive organs in immature small mammals using Soricidae (Insectivora) and Cricetidae (Rodentia) as an example
Authors: Saburova L.Ya.
Published: September 2022

The article is devoted to determination of sex of juveniles of small mammals. The definition of which is the most time-consuming part of anatomical research. The method of visualizing the sex of young animals by reproductive organs using 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and 6% apple cider vinegar (CH3COOH) is used. Earlier in 2020, this method was successfully used on immature shrews (Sorex). The results of the study served as an impetus for the continuation of the study on juveniles of the hamster family (Cricetidae Fischer, 1817) and repeated testing on young individuals of the shrew family (Soricidae Fischer, 1814). The collection of material was carried out in 2021 in the central part of the White Sea-Kuloy Plateau. A total of 475 small mammals from three families were studied (Cricetidae – 291, Soricidae – 183, birch mice Sminthidae Brandt, 1855 – 1). Anatomical examination of biological material showed that 24% (n = 114) of young animals turned out to have indeterminate sexual characteristics. These juvenile individuals belonged to the families of shrews (15.8%) and hamsters (8.2%). As a result of the method, gender differences were found in 92.1% of juvenile individuals. During the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with blood catalase, in 35.2% of males (of the identified individuals), the spermatic ducts were elevated, and in 51.4% of them, seminal ducts and testes were discolored. In 43.8% of females, the horns and the body of the uterus increased in size by 2 times, and it turned white in 48.6%. In 7.9% of specimens, the sex has not been set due to postmortem damage to internal organs. The study proves that the method of visualizing sex by reproductive organs is effective for immature animals of Cricetidae and Soricidae. The method makes it possible to reduce the number of unrecorded juveniles and to obtain reliable information about the sex and age structure of the population.
Stability of unique pattern of lateral line system of Baikal stone sculpin (Paracottus knerii, Cottidae) after colonization by this species of Yenisei River system
Authors: Sideleva V.G.
Published: September 2022

The study of the lateral line system in the stone sculpin Paracottus knerii (Dybowski, 1874) from Lake Baikal revealed pattern uniqueness and species specificity. This is demonstrated in autonomy of the supraorbital, infraorbital, and preoperculo-mandibular sensory canals, as well as in the presence of gaps inside them. The pattern of the lateral line differs significantly from that in the species of the genus Cottus Linnaeus, 1758, which is illustrated by the example of Cottus sibiricus Warpachowski, 1889. In this particular species, all sensory canals, except for the preoperculo-mandibular canal, are connected as a single system. The C. sibiricus pattern of the system is significantly different from the Baikal P. knerii. As a whole, in the individuals of P. knerii from the Yenisei River System, the Baikal pattern of the lateral line system is retained, containing autonomous sensory canals. Comparative analysis of transformations of the lateral line system in the Baikal and Yenisei stone sculpins showed that the transformations go in different directions. In the Baikal form, there is an increase in the number of gaps in the infraorbital sensory canal and the occipital commissure. This leads to an increase in the autonomy of separate segments of the sensory canal. On the contrary, in the Yenisei form P. knerii, number of breaks inside the sensory canals decreases, while preserving their autonomy. In Yenisei fishes (unlike the Baikal ones), the supraorbital canal does not have gaps in most cases, its pre- and post-coronal parts are interconnected. The supraorbital canals of the left and right sides do not connect in the form of a letter “V”, they are interconnected by a narrow coronal commissure, as is in species of the genus Cottus. The trunk canal (CLL) in most river sculpins is longer than in Baikal individuals. In the caudal part, the CLL has several autonomous segments, which is not found in Baikal fish.
Rozważania na temat zrzeczenia się prawa do wniesienia odwołania w kontekście orzecznictwa sądów administracyjnych
Authors: Tyska Magdalena
Published: September 2022

W niniejszym artykule ukazano prawo do zrzeczenia się wniesienia odwołania od decyzji administracyjnej w wybranych zagadnieniach w świetle orzecznictwa sądów administracyjnych. Instytucja ta została wprowadzona do krajowego porządku prawnego w 2017 r., a powstałe wątpliwości przy jej stosowaniu doprecyzowuje judykatura. Dla jasności podjętych rozważań pierwsza część artykułu przedstawia charakterystykę prawnej konstrukcji zrzeczenia się odwołania. Dalsza część tekstu odnosi się do najnowszego stanowiska Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego w zakresie określenia początku biegu terminu na złożenie oświadczenia o zrzeczeniu się prawa do wniesienia odwołania, możliwości cofnięcia oświadczenia o zrzeczeniu się prawa do wniesienia odwołania, sytuacji procesowej pominiętej strony w sytuacji, gdy strony uczestniczące w postępowaniu zrzekły się prawa do wniesienia odwołania. Nadto przez pryzmat orzeczenia Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego podkreślono konieczność pouczenia strony o skutkach skorzystania ze zrzeczenia się odwołania przez organ administracyjny.  Zakresem badawczym objęto zatem uprawnienie procesowe strony w postępowaniu administracyjnym, z którego może ona skorzystać, aby przyśpieszyć zakończenie postępowania przez otrzymanie ostatecznej i prawomocnej decyzji. Ostatecznym wnioskiem, do jakiego dochodzi autorka, jest to, że uprawnienie strony do zrzeknięcia się wniesienia odwołania może zostać skutecznie zgłoszone przez stronę nawet w dniu fizycznego doręczenia (ogłoszenia) decyzji administracyjnej oraz istnieje możliwość cofnięcia tak złożonego oświadczenia woli.
Czynniki mające wpływ na spowodowanie niebezpieczeństwa w ruchu drogowym
Authors: Przybylska Katarzyna
Published: September 2022

Czynniki mające wpływ na bezpieczeństwo na drodze możemy podzielić na trzy główne rodzaje, tj. związane z: człowiekiem, pojazdem i drogą. Na podstawie statystyk policyjnych, odnośnie do liczby i przyczyn wypadków, można jednoznacznie stwierdzić, że największą liczbę wypadków powoduje człowiek - w pierszej kolejności osoba, która prowadzi pojazd, a następnie pieszy. Głównymi przczynami takich wypadków są przede wszystkim: niedostosowanie prędkości do warunków ruchu, nieprzestrzeganie pierwszeństwa przejazdu, nieprawidłowe zachowanie wobec pieszego (np. nieprawidłowe przejeżdżanie przejść dla pieszych oraz nieustąpienie pierwszeństwa pieszemu). Dużym zagrożeniem są również nietrzeźwi kierowcy zarówno samochodów jak i rowerów. Jednak dobra wiadomość jest taka, że z każdym rokiem jest ich coraz mniej. Warto również zauwazyć w częstotliwości wypadków prawidła sezonowe - co roku powtarza się tendencja do większej liczby wypadków w okresie letnim, czyli urlopowym, gdzie ruch na drodze jest większy i kierowcy pokonują dłuższe niż standardowa droga do pracy odległości.
Flânerie in the Time of Covid-19
Authors: Papalas Marylaura
Published: September 2022

Flânerie, or the practice of urban strolling described in nineteenth-century French print and visual culture, has evolved throughout modernity, expanding its reach into more global literary traditions and becoming an important topic of research in numerous fields of academic study. Various phenomena have shaped the evolution of how we walk in the city and how artists, essayists, and journalists record it, none more so than the forced lockdowns associated with the global Covid-19 pandemic. Journalists in France invented expressions like flânerie inversée, impossible flânerie, and librairie flânerie to describe new city practices. They looked to figures like the fashion flâneuse on the catwalk as a means of sublimating the stillness and monotony of the coronavirus confinement. This article traces the emergence between March 2020 and April 2021of these variations in shopping and fashion contexts, which underscore the enduring legacy of the practice and its everlasting presence in French culture.
The Paris Opera Ballet Dancing Offstage
Authors: Nunn Tessa Ashlin
Published: September 2022

The spaces in which amateur and professional dancers practiced their art greatly changed during the Covid-19 pandemic due to the closures of theaters and dance studios, yet dance continued to bring people together online. This article studies the media presence of the Paris Opera Ballet (POB) between March 2020 and May 2021 to analyze how the aesthetic and moral concept of grace has evolved. During this difficult year, dance took on a therapeutic role as POB dancers offered free online classes and performed in video work, in addition to taking on a political role as discussions about racism in ballet sparked public debates.
The IRR as False Witness
Authors: Msimang Phila M.
Published: September 2022

Historically, the South African Institute of Race Relations (IRR) has been viewed as a reliable source of information given its near century-long work of compiling statistics and reports about race relations and the social conditions affecting different race groups in South Africa. I make the case that the IRR should not be considered a reliable source of information about race groups and their social conditions in contemporary South Africa because of how the IRR misrepresents the views of ordinary South Africans with the intention of influencing policy towards the IRR’s preferred ideological positions. Rather than presenting criticism of their ideological slant, I show how their policy proposals are not supported by their survey data or their interpretation. Furthermore, I argue that their misrepresentation of South Africans’ beliefs is damaging to democratic processes because what the public claims it wants from government has a significant impact on what government’s mandate from its citizenry is thought to be.
China and South Asia in Xi Jinping's 'New Era'
Authors: Akhter Muhammad Nauman
Published: September 2022

Since President Xi Jinping assumed power, China has been rising on the political, economic, and diplomatic stage in South Asian geopolitics. Policy experts in China have termed South Asia as the region with the direct link to the rise of China. President Xi Jinping announced a concept known as a ‘New Era’. The policy of “keeping a low profile and binding the time” in the period of Deng Xiaoping is different from this policy. The article aims to analyze China’s policy: the main drivers, the domestic factors and how the neighboring South Asian countries shape the Chinese foreign policy behavior will be our focus of attention-in this article.

Published: September 2022

Security issues have the propensity to stimulate electorates to adopt positive democratic attitudes that can facilitate safety. Such as following and engaging approaches that proffers a sense of safety, self value and cause the aspiration for leaders who share these common goals. Studies of security and elections in north eastern Nigeria exist however, limited to academic standards. This study examines security issues and factors influencing the outcome of the 2015 general elections in north eastern Nigeria through a qualitative method of data collection and analysis. The study concludes that factors, that caused the victory of an opposition political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2015 general elections includes. The electorates’ evaluations of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government’s depressing records in securing lives and property, mismanagement of the economy, and challenges in confronting corruption; better election campaign tactics and credible candidates presented by opposition parties; and better preparation by the electoral body, particularly the use of biometric voter cards. But most importantly of the factors is insurgency that occupied the northeast region. This shows the relevance of security, economy, and political concerns as top factors influencing electoral outcomes in north eastern, Nigeria.
“Remedies” for the Death of a Loved One: Consolation in the Early Modern Times Religious Literature
Authors: Korzo Margarita A.
Published: September 2022

The European writings with motives of solace on the occasion of the death of a loved one are very diverse in genre terms (reflections on death, consolatory letters, self-consolation dialogues, consolation treatises, ars moriendi manuals, funeral sample sermons and orations, elegiac poetry, manuals on rhetoric, etc.). Elements of continuity may be found between consolatory arguments, developed in the Antiquity and those found in the Middle Ages and by the authors of the early Modern period (death as a necessity and as an act of mercy that spares further suffering and sins; immortality of the soul and the hope of afterlife reunion, etc.); throughout all epochs, the tradition of presenting consolations in the form of soul-healing “remedies” also persists. Christian authors reinterpreted ancient consolation arguments in the light of Christian doctrine; also, the main task of solace or remedies for grief is no more to achieve control over emotions, but to strengthen the Christian in faith. The early Modern period turns with a new intensity to the philosophical heritage of antiquity and the personal examples of thinkers and historical figures of the past, who, along with the biblical king David and the suffering Job, are presented as models for acceptable mourning, attitude towards suffering and death. Catholic consolatory eloquence for the death influenced the Eastern Christian tradition, which produced in the XVII century first examples of consolatory texts (sample sermons for burial in liturgical books, the author's works of Symeon Polotsky), replicating the solace “remedies” circulated in the European culture. Such a similarity of particular ideas and arguments of ancient and Christian authors of different times does not always indicate borrowing or direct continuity, but is only a consequence of the common existential experience of people of different epochs.
A Few Notes on the Participial Passive in Tundra Nenets
Authors: Stenin Ivan
Published: September 2022

The article deals with the two strategies of the participial passive in Tundra Nenets, one of which allows the expression of the agent, and another one does not. The first strategy is considered primarily on the basis of the construction with the perfective participle. The eventive vs. resultative nature of the passive as well as the agreement patterns of the construction are discussed. The limited admissibility of patientive subjects of the first and second persons is also noted. The second strategy, which is necessarily impersonal, is discussed on the basis of the construction with the imperfective participle. The participle in this construction is formed from the verb through the durative marker. This construction is used in habitual (generic) contexts and does not allow an expressed agent.

Authors: Huang Zhe , Yan Xiuliang , Dai Yanan
Published: September 2022

With the global economy and industry development, environment-friendly and sustainable development has become the mainstream of energy exploration and utilization. New clean geo-energy exploitation has become one crucial transformation attempt of the traditional petroleum industry. However, different from the traditional petroleum development, key problems of low efficiency and high risk, caused by complex geological environment and bottom-hole-assembly (BHA) vibration, are the main barriers of unconventional resources exploitation. In the present paper, a novel method of optimized drilling technology with intelligent vibration control (ODVC) is proposed based on technique surveys and a review of traditional methods. As a discussion result of technical features and key issues, ODVC could be a good alternative to contribute to the new clean geo-energy resources exploitation.

Authors: Xia Hainan , Wang Xiangnan , Li Qiang
Published: September 2022

In the field test of wave energy converters, analyzing the characteristics of wave resources in the sea area of the tested wave energy converter, is the basis of evaluating the power characteristics of the wave energy converter scientifically and accurately. On the basis of analyzing the analysis methods of wave resource characteristics at home and abroad, the joint distribution analysis method of significant wave height and mean wave period is studied in this paper, and the characteristics of wave resources of the tested sea area are analyzed by using the field measurement data. The results show that the joint distribution map can represent the distribution of wave parameters in the tested sea area from the aspects of significant wave height and mean wave period concurrently. With the analysis method of combining the rose diagram of wave parameters, histogram of wave parameters, and joint distribution map of significant wave height and mean wave period, the characteristics of wave resources in the tested sea area can be reflected in a more comprehensive and objective way. The research results provide references for the field test and the design of optimal working conditions of the wave energy converter.
Comparison of the Thermal Performances of the Direct-Condensation Panel with Different Aspect Ratios
Authors: Shao Suola , Xu Chengcheng
Published: September 2022

The direct-condensation panel was demonstrated to be effective in reducing carbon emissions of space heating for its high energy efficiency. To expand its application prospects, the thermal performances of the Direct-Condensation Panel (DCP) with various aspect ratios are investigated and compared in this paper. The results show that the vertical temperature gradients in the working area of 0.1 m to 1.5 m are 1.6°C and 3.3°C for the DCP with the ratio of 0.45 and 2.22, which is 20% and 41% of the heating system with the split air-conditioner. The vertical thermal comfort of the DCP with a low aspect ratio is superior, while the horizontal temperature distributions of the DCP with a high aspect ratio are more uniform. Meanwhile, the average PMV and PPD for the DCP with two ratios meet the requirements of the ASHRAE Standard. Compared with the DCP with a high aspect ratio, the thermal comfort of the DCP with a low aspect ratio is better for its LPD2 is less than 10%.
Saihanba’s Impact on Beijing’s Environment and Its Reference to China

Published: September 2022

With the development over time, people and the government gradually realize the importance of the environment. From 1962 to 2021, the forest coverage of Saihanba increased from 13% to 80%. This article used the AR model to establish time series from three aspects: oxygen release, carbon dioxide acceptance and water source storage to analyze the ecological environment before and after Saihanba ecological protection action. In addition, a time series of air quality in Beijing was established to show that the environmental improvement of Saihanba has helped reduce the dust weather in Beijing. After that, AHP analytic hierarchy process model was used to evaluate the significance of altitude, temperature, wind force, humidity and precipitation for the establishment of ecological areas. China is divided into four regions according to the differences in geographical environment. The demand degree of ecological areas was evaluated for these four regions, and the areas that need established ecological areas were selected. Then the scale of the ecological area of the site was determined through the best benefit and cost evaluation. In conclusion, based on the ecological environment construction mode of Saihanba, this report established a model that can be used to evaluate the ecological environment benefits and the best implementation site.

Reducing carbon emissions to cope with climate change and short of energy have become a global trend, so it is urgent to accurately measure energy consumption and emissions. As taxi occupies the second highest proportion of domestic roads, it is necessary to study the emission of new energy. However, existing studies often consider the whole region, with low accuracy and no true value, resulting in difficult verification of conclusions. This paper proposed a micro-energy consumption and carbon emission model for taxicabs based on trajectory data and deep learning method to dynamically simulate the real-time energy consumption of taxicabs with different energy sources. First, this paper detected the correlation between driving state and energy consumption carbon emission in portable emissions measurement system (PEMS) environment. Then, a deep learning-based framework was built to learn the vehicle’s energy consumption carbon emission pattern. In particular, Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural network is used to learn current and historical driving habits and the influence of external environment on energy consumption, while life cycle assessment (LCA) method is used to obtain the emission patterns of vehicles with different energy types in the whole life cycle. The measured data are obtained in Wuhan, the precision of our model is higher than that of the existing model. At the same time, we also applied it to the taxicab monthly trajectory dataset to obtain the spatial-temporal energy consumption emission patterns of different types of energy. The results show that pure electric vehicle (PEV) has obvious greenhouse gas emission reduction effect, compared with gasoline and compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, the emission reduction is 12.03% and 12.07% respectively, but the total energy consumption achieves little advantage. This model will lay a foundation for the formulation of regional road network emission inventory, so as to provide support for the government to make relevant decisions.

Authors: Li Danyang , Liu Hua , Ma Rong
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we build a model based on the notion of green development that may be used to assess a three-dimensional ecological footprint. We design it by calculating two indicators, namely, footprint size and footprint depth. We perform quantitative research on ecological sustainable development. Based on our results, from 2010 to 2020, the per capita ecological footprint and ecological carrying capacity generally displayed a varying rising trend; the depth of the footprint has been maintained at 1.1364 gha/cap, and it is clear that the ecological footprint has constantly exceeded the ecological carrying capacity, which means that from 2010 to 2020, Gansu Province’s ecological and economic development was in deficit. Based on these findings, we offer sound recommendations for the ecological environment’s sustainable development in Gansu Province.

Published: September 2022

This paper proposed the DEA unexpected output model to measure the green ecological efficiency of 13 cities in the Hanjiang River Ecological Economic Belt from 2003 to 2018, analyze their temporal and spatial evolution characteristics, and further analyze the factors affecting green ecological efficiency through Tobit model. The study demonstrates that, on the whole, the green ecological efficiency of the Hanjiang River Ecological Economic Belt fails to achieve DEA effectiveness; From the perspective of time evolution, although the overall green ecological efficiency of the economic belt has been repeated, it is improving as a whole; From the perspective of spatial evolution process, the green ecological efficiency of the economic belt presents the distribution characteristics of “high on both sides and low in the middle”, and is tending to balanced development. Personnel size, government investment and policies and measures all play a positive role in promoting green ecological efficiency.

Published: September 2022

A three-dimensional (3D) energy footprint combines a 3D ecological footprint with energy theory. In this paper, based on 3D energy footprint theory, we calculated the 3D energy footprint of Gansu Province from 2001 to 2020, and quantitatively evaluated the value of the province’s ecosystem services. Moreover, we also analyzed the sustainability of its ecosystem. The results show that the energy footprint of Gansu Province has been on the rise since 2001. From 2001 to 2020, only the 2015 and 2016 energy footprints in Gansu were greater than the energy carrying capacity, and the footprint depth was greater than 1, indicating that the flow of natural resources cannot meet the development needs of the province, resulting in an ecological deficit. The 3D energy footprint of Gansu Province doubled from 2001 to 2020, indicating that human use of natural resources is increasing. From the perspective of sustainable development, the development of the ecological economic system in Gansu Province only in 2015 and 2016 was not sustainable, and the development of the ecological economic system in the other years studied was sustainable.

Published: September 2022

The efficiency and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) depend on precise control of temperature. In practical applications, temperature variations due to dynamic loads can degrade cell performance and thus reduce the duration of the fuel cell. To solve the problem, a composite method to control the stack temperature is presented in this study. First, a dynamic model of PEMFC thermal management system is established, and then a feed-forward fuzzy PID controller is designed to adjust the stack temperature. Finally, the proposed temperature control method is applied to a 100kW fuel cell system with the European Driving Cycle condition. The results show that the feed-forward fuzzy PID controller has faster dynamic response and higher control accuracy than PID control method.

Published: September 2022

In this paper, the effect of sodium humate (HA-Na) and seawater on the absorption of SO2 in flue gas was investigated. At the same time, the effects of the initial pH value of seawater and SO2 concentration on seawater desulfurization were also evaluated. The experimental results showed that seawater had the ability to absorb SO2. SO2 dissolved in seawater can react with HCO3– and CO32– plasma to produce CO2, which can prompt the absorption reaction. Besides, the addition of HA-Na can improve the performance of seawater desulfurization and increase the efficiency of seawater desulfurization. It also prolonged the desulfurization time and improved the problem of high usage amount of seawater in practical applications. With the increase of HA-Na addition, the desulfurization efficiency and the efficient desulfurization time of seawater increased. The efficiency of seawater desulfurization decreased with the initial pH value of seawater. The greater the concentration of SO2, the faster the absorption efficiency of SO2 by the solution decreased and the shorter the time for the solution to reach saturation.
