Eye movement modulation of memory reconsolidation in trauma-like memory
Authors: LEI Mingjie , Lee Jonathan
Published: December 2020

The aim of this research is exploring whether eye movement can facilitate memory reconsolidation, and therefore reducing trauma-like memory. It also wants to investigate whether different types (online/in person) of study and culture (UK/China) will have influence on memory reconsolidation. 79 Participants (Age: 18-24) were recruit from University of Birmingham. On the first day, all the participants watched a traumatic film on the first day. On the second day , they received eye movement or memory reconsolidation training after rewatching the traumatic film again. Then, they filled in Impact Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) for a week. In the end, they filled in IES-R one last time and performed a declarative memory task. The results of study one show a significant difference among groups who received eye movement + memory reconsolidation than other groups.The conclusion is eye movement can facilitate memory reconsolidation but not sure about destabilisation.
Perceptions of Behavior Analysis in La Francophonie: Accuracy and Tone of Posts in an Internet Forum on Autism
Authors: Turgeon Stéphanie , Lanovaz Marc J
Published: December 2020

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) remains highly contested and under-utilized in many countries for the treatment of individuals with autism. One country where ABA remains particularly difficult to access is France. One potential problem is that parents often rely on online resources such as social media to identify interventions for their child. These sources of information may not accurately portray ABA or even openly disapprove of the approach. To examine this issue, we used data mining methodology to extract, categorize, and analyze 897 messages on ABA published in a popular French internet forum based on their type, tone, and accuracy. Although messages were generally accurate and approving of ABA, our results showed that one in three messages fully or partially disapproved of the approach and one in four messages contained some inaccurate information. Our analyses also indicated that parents were more likely to approve of ABA than individuals with an autism spectrum disorder. Finally, we found that the number of approving messages published in the internet forum decreased with time, especially over the last five years. Together, these results support the relevance of developing system-level approaches to dispel misconceptions about ABA in languages other than English.
Self-Regulation Prompts Promote the Achievement of Learning Goals – but Only Briefly: Uncovering Hidden Dynamics in the Effects of a Psychological Intervention
Authors: Breitwieser Jasmin , Neubauer Andreas B. , Schmiedek Florian , Brod Garvin
Published: December 2020

Most psychological interventions have to be administered repeatedly to be effective, but what is the optimal frequency? The answer will depend on how quickly the effects build up and wear off between intervention sessions. We investigated these temporal dynamics in a popular self-regulation intervention – implementation intentions. We combined a novel intervention design with objective high-resolution data of students’ learning success during 40 days of preparation for an exam. Students received intervention prompts on half of the days, alternating between 2-3 consecutive days of prompting and no-prompting. Leveraging the intensive longitudinal data, we found that the beneficial effect of prompting on learning success built up over consecutive days of prompting and faded out when prompting was discontinued. These results suggest that the beneficial effects of self-regulation prompts on learning success are more volatile than previously believed. Self-regulation interventions may undergo a prolonged acquisition phase that can be accelerated by repeated prompting.
Interpersonal Confidence Questionnaire (ICQ) Novák 2017
Authors: Novák Johanna
Published: December 2020

The questionnaire for measuring interpersonal confidence (ICQ) was developed as a part of a Master’s thesis by Johanna Novák (2017). ICQ was developed to measure the change in interpersonal confidence of university students that participated in a 10-week improvisation course. There was a need for a novel questionnaire as the learning outcomes of improvisation interventions have not been measured earlier with a specific questionnaire incorporating the multidimensional skills that improvisation trains. The Interpersonal Confidence Questionnaire has 30 items out of which 14 should be reversed when analyzed. The questionnaire consists of statements on a Likert scale from 0 (totally disagree) to 5 (totally agree). In the Master’s thesis 16 student teachers submitted the ICQ. It was validated by comparing the qualitative results to quantitative results which were highly similar. The improvisation course influenced positively the student teachers´ interpersonal confidence.
Moving as one: Agency and social unity in joint action and its breakdown
Authors: Cuijpers Laura , Koudenburg Namkje , Marsh Kerry L.
Published: December 2020

Joint action can take many forms: whereas rowers synchronise their movements, dancers often engage in closely coordinated complementary action. Even in martial arts, fighters closely coordinate their movements in an effort to understand and control their opponent’s movements. In joint actions such as these, the possibilities for action require multiple agents to partake in the social system, as the joint action cannot be enacted by an individual alone. Although most people have an intuitive understanding of what it means to experience having an impact on one’s environment, this paper is particularly concerned with providing a formal understanding of agency in a social system where control within the social system is distributed over multiple agents. The central question is: how do agents experience social unity in situations in which the individual actions cannot be understood separately from the behaviour of the system as a whole? In this paper, we combine insights from social and ecological psychology and behavioural dynamics to propose a theoretical framework on how joint action affects the experience of agency and social unity. Using empirical examples from rowing, dance and martial arts, we discuss how determining the link between psychological states during coordination and accidental or intentional breakdowns (in cooperative failure or combative success, respectively) provides insights into fundamental debates about the nature of joint action (Butterfill, 2012; Gilbert, 1996; 2000; Marsh, Johnston, Richardson, & Schmidt, 2009a; 2009b; Sebanz, & Knoblich, 2009a; 2009b).

Introduction: Excessive accumulation of body fat in obesity increases morbidities such as hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation on the level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and blood pressure in children with obesity. Methods: Fifty obese children, aged 6-10 years, were randomly assigned to the supplementation group (n=25) who received EPA and DHA supplementation or to the placebo group (n=25) for eight weeks. The trial was done in a single centre in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. Randomisation and allocation to the trial group were done by a computer system. The primary analysis was comparing the blood pressure and hs-CRP level between groups. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) tests were done to compare the differences between groups, with a p-value <0.05 considered as significant. Results: A total of 44 children completed the study, 24 (54.5%) were males and 20 (45.5%) were females. Initially, the systolic/diastolic blood pressure and hs-CRP level in the supplementation and placebo groups were 109.5/72.7 mmHg and 3.5 mg/L, 107.9/68.4 mmHg and 2.8 mg/L, respectively. At the end, they were 106.3/67.7 mmHg and 1.7 mg/L, and 108.1/71.8 mmHg and 2.8 mg/L, respectively. Systolic-, diastolic blood pressure and hs-CRP level were decreased by -2.6 mmHg (95% CI: -6.9 to 1.6; p=0.220), -7.5 mmHg (95% CI: -12.4 to -2.6; p=0.004), and -1.15 mg/L (95% CI: -2.1 to -0.2; p=0.022), respectively. Conclusion: EPA and DHA supplementation in obese children showed significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure and hs-CRP level.
Regime Preferences in Communist Czechoslovakia and the Narrative on the Slovak National Uprising
Authors: Švecova Martina
Published: December 2020

Most of the participants in the Slovak National Uprising (SNP) were fighting for the ideals of democracy and freedom, for the defeat of fascism and Nazism and for the new Czechoslovak Republic with equal status for the Slovak people within it. They could not have foreseen that communist totalitarianism would be established after the war, one that would try to use the Uprising as a precursor for the socialist revolution (Fremal 2010: 359). The Communist Party, with the support of historians, utilised the legacy of the SNP to justify its political actions. Czechoslovak identity was also constructed through the image of the SNP, whose annual celebrations provided the communists with the opportunity to interpret the legacy of the SNP in various forms. This work deals with the way the communists interpreted the SNP in order to convince the public that this was a people's Uprising intended to lead to social equality and the eventual acceptance of communism in Czechoslovakia in the years 1947,1948 and 1954.

The journey of sexuality after spinal cord injury: Implications for allied health professionals
Authors: Morozowski Makrina , Roughley Robert A.
Published: December 2020

The purpose of this phenomenological study, which reflected the lived experiences of seven individuals living in Alberta with spinal cord injury (SCI), was to gain insights into how individuals with SCI (a) are ill-equipped after injury with respect to post-injury sexual function education, (b) explore their sexuality after injury, (c) learn about the importance of role models and friends living with similar injuries, and (d) explain barriers to access reasonable care surrounding sexual health and counselling reflective of intersectionality of sexuality and disability, among other factors. The intent is also to provide a basis for others living with SCI to be aware that they are not alone in their experiences as well as inform others, including professionals working in the area of SCI, of what some experiences of living with SCI are. This study uncovered real lived experiences of individuals with SCI and their experience of sexuality and relationships after injury. Recommendations are highlighted with the intention of informing professionals, including counselling psychologists and other health related professionals.
The Domestic Sphere as Counter-Surveillance in Lorraine Hansberry’sA Raisin in the Sun
Authors: Kiser Kelsey
Published: December 2020

Lorraine Hansberry was placed under surveillance by the Federal Bureau of Investigation prior to A Raisin in the Sun’s Broadway debut in 1959. Totalling over a thousand pages of memos, reports, and letters of investigative analysis, Hansberry’s FBI file reveals that the bureau tracked her play for Communist sympathies but also, and more surprisingly, collected interviews in which she insisted that her occupation was not playwright but housewife. This essay returns to A Raisin in the Sun, which has often been seen to uphold conservative gender ideologies of the Cold War era, to explore how Hansberry depicted radical counter-surveillance against the state through housewife characters. While historians have discussed how Black domestic workers employed in white homes became politically involved, little has been done to document how Black women countered surveillance to protect their families in their own homes. Drawing from evidence found in Hansberry’s archive at the Schomburg Center, this article contextualizes A Raisin in the Sun among her unpublished writings and the play’s manuscript drafts to argue that Hansberry deliberately subverted discourses that viewed surveillance as a practice primarily affecting individuals and families within isolated domestic environments. I show that Hansberry turned to drama to portray surveillance as a communal experience, thereby shifting narratives of surveillance from those found within earlier twentieth-century fiction depicting lone male protagonists on the run from state oversight to a dramatic oral mode that insists on communal experience through direct communication between performers and audience.
The Concept of the Concept Musical: Love Life, Cabaret, Company
Authors: Rogers Bradley
Published: December 2020

This article approaches the concept musical as a form defined by epistemological self-critique. Inviting spectators to affectively engage with its thematic concerns precisely by problematizing the spectators’ pleasurable consumption of musical theatre conventions, the concept musical deploys this reflection for potentially political purposes. Through a close reading of Love Life, the 1948 musical often understood as the first concept musical, I argue that the show’s unique structure cultivates the sense that capitalism, as embodied in the conventions of popular entertainment, has intervened in the life and happiness of the musical’s central family. By critiquing popular culture, Love Life – itself an element of popular culture – questions whether its own materials, the popular songs that make up its score and the vaudeville show on which its form is based, are fragmenting and dangerous illusions. I show how Cabaret pursues a similar epistemological experiment, implicating spectators in the passive sensual pleasures that the show frames as having facilitated fascism – just as Company pursues a formal structure that implicates spectators in the issues of “observing the action” that plague its central character, Bobby.

El audiolibro en España: ¿industria o modelo de negocio?
Authors: Magadán-Díaz Marta , Rivas-García Jesús I.
Published: December 2020

This research has the general goal of analyzing, through an exploratory methodology, the impact that audiobooks have on the internal processes in the value chain of Spanish publishing companies, to which two more specific goals are added: a) How can the new roles from audiobook be added in an publishing circuit?, and b) is it possible to affirm that the new business model can already be considered an industry within the Spanish publishing sector? Through the analysis of the publishing circuit and the production flow chart carried out in this study, it is observed not only the impact of the audiobook on the entire operational process of a publishing house, but also the new actors on the publishing business scene. Based on the existing data from the audiobook business in Spain, the study concludes that, nowadays, the existence of an audiobook industry that is fully independent from the other consolidated business models in the Spanish publishing sector cannot be affirmed.

Resumen
Esta investigación tiene como objetivo general analizar a través de una metodología exploratoria el impacto que los audiolibros tienen sobre los procesos internos en la cadena de valor de las editoriales españolas. A este se añaden dos preguntas de investigación específicas: a) ¿Cómo se puede incluir a los actores del audiolibro en un circuito editorial?, y b) ¿se puede afirmar que el nuevo modelo de negocio es una industria dentro del sector editorial español? A través del análisis del circuito editorial y del flujograma de producción realizado en este estudio se observa no solo el impacto del audiolibro sobre todo el proceso operacional de una editorial, sino que además se advierten los nuevos actores en la escena del negocio editorial. Partiendo de los datos existentes sobre el negocio del audiolibro en España, el trabajo concluye que hoy por hoy no se puede afirmar la existencia de una industria audio-editorial independizada plenamente de los otros modelos de negocio consolidados en el sector editorial español.

The paper deals with the issue of complex treatment of patients with various oncological pathologies. General concepts of modern, approved by the Ministry of Health, approaches to the therapy of cancer patients, as well as the concept of an oncological consultation are generalized. Possible disadvantages of existing treatment methods are indicated, including the lack of qualified psychological support for patients. Some authors advocate the need to introduce psychologists and psychoanalysts into the oncoconsilium, since a positive attitude of the patient himself can have a positive effect on the overall outcome of the disease. The aim of the work was an attempt to analyze some aspects of the psychoemotional state of women with breast cancer throughout: from the state of «well-being» to the establishment of a clinical diagnosis, followed by a period of treatment; the study also includes 2 periods of «waves» of new coronavirus infection. The subjects of the study were 150 female patients suffering from breast cancer. All of them were divided into 3 groups of 50 women, depending on age: 20–39 years old, 40–59 years old, 60–80 years old. The study was carried out using a questionnaire (according to a questionnaire specially developed by the authors), as well as using the Zung and Spielberg methods. We studied the level of anxiety of the patients, the level of their depressive states, depending on the «control point» (a total of 5 were allocated, in which the research stages were carried out) of the study and the age of the patients. There were identified 2 main «peaks» of psychoemotional states – the moment of clinical diagnosis and the period of the «first wave» of a new coronavirus infection. It was during these periods that the level of anxiety increased in patients, and depressive states developed. Some interesting features were also identified: for example, if the greatest fears during the «first wave» were caused by fear of Covid-19, then during the «second wave» the problems of financial security and, in fact, treatment were at the fore. The data obtained may be of interest both for doctors who treat cancer patients and healthcare organizers, and for psychologists and psychoanalysts.

Authors: Greff do Amaral João Francisco , Nunes de Alcantara José Vicente
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo traduz os percursos ao longo de dois anos de pesquisa longitudinal, tendo como tema o processo de constituição psíquica nos bebês/crianças inseridos precocemente em Escolas Municipais de Educação Infantil. A fim de investigar as possíveis consequências das longas jornadas fora de casa, procuramos verificar a qualidade das relações estabelecidas entre educador-criança, bem como, identificar possíveis interferências no curso saudável do desenvolvimento psíquico dos infantes que frequentam berçários durante os primeiros anos de vida. Participaram deste estudo 7 escolas municipais de Santo Ângelo/RS (14 professores e 20 bebês), os quais foram acompanhados através de visitas semanais nas instituições pelo período de nove meses. Em um primeiro momento, utilizou-se dos instrumentos: Entrevista Fase I com Educadores; Ficha Pré-testes e Protocolo IRDI. As respectivas ferramentas fizeram parte da primeira avaliação do ambiente e da relação educador-bebê. As observações semanais foram descritas em Diário de Campo. Posteriormente, realizou-se um curso de formação para educadores. Os pesquisadores reuniram-se semanalmente a fim de realizar seminários de estudo e discutir os dados obtidos através das observações. Ao término de nove meses de acompanhamento dos bebês, foi feita uma avaliação final através do Protocolo IRDI, caso houvesse uma possibilidade de risco ao desenvolvimento infantil, o bebê e sua família poderiam ser encaminhados para a Clínica Escola de Psicologia da URI. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que quando o educador atua de modo suficientemente bom, ele exerce uma prevenção em face de patologias psíquicas, que podem vir a surgir nos primeiros anos de vida.

Unmasking unconscious fear and derangement in the Plays of Francis Imbuga
Authors: M. Mukundi Paul , K. Mutura Roselyne
Published: December 2020

Francis Davis Imbuga, one of the most prominent African playwrights of the 20th Century, employs diverse motifs to reveal the psyches of the characters in his works. This paper examines Imbuga's Betrayal in the City (1976), Man of Kafira (1984), and The Successor (1979) from Freudian and Jungian psychoanalytic perspectives, in order to deduce the central characters' unconscious fear and derangement in a world that is often devoid of freedom and justice. Specifically, the paper utilizes the postulations of Sigmund Freud on the unconsciousness as well as those of Carl Jung on self-archetypes. Characters' actions are considered as driven by Freudian unconscious and Jungian unconscious anima and animus-where the unconscious in fear reflects elites' greed and selfishness, while the unconscious in derangement mirrors repressed desire and guilt.
Sanctioning an anti-sanctions campaign? Comparing the textuality of news reports in Zimbabwean Newspapers on the anti-sanctions campaigns in Zimbabwe’s first republic
Authors: Sabao Collen , Visser Marianna
Published: December 2020

The paper analyses the discourse linguistic notion of 'objectivity' in 'hard' news reports on the two ZANU PF led Anti-Sanctions campaigns in Zimbabwe. In examining the campaigns, which occur in Zimbabwe's first republic and when Zimbabwe was still under the leadership of the now late President, Robert Gabriel Mugabe, the paper seeks to compare the textuality of 'hard' news reports from selected Zimbabwean newspapers by focusing on how language and linguistic resources are used evaluatively in manners that betray authorial attitudes in news reports on Mugabe and ZANU PF led Anti-Sanctions campaigns against 'sanctions'1 imposed on the country by the United States of America (USA) and the European Union (EU) in The Herald2 and Newsday3 specifically focusing on the manner in which the news reports uphold or flout the objectivity ideal as explicated through the ‘reporter voice’4 configuration and within Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). In 2017, Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa (Mugabe’s historically trusted lieutenant), ascended to the presidency through a military backed coup that ousted Zimbabwe’s monolithic leader, Robert Mugabe, who had been in power for 37 years. True to the ZANU PF historical way of doing things, Mnangagwa also went on a rampage accusing others, especially the West for their sanctions which he claimed were hurting ordinary people and the Zimbabwean economy. However, this paper only focused in the analysis of the Mugabe led campaigns. While ‘hard news’ articles must thus attempt to project an aura of objectivity, in comparison editorials/commentaries are meant to air opinions. However, this is not always the case as they often are loaded with attitudinal meanings – occurring as both inscribed and/or invoked authorial evaluations as well as attributed inscribed and/or invoked evaluations.
THE ROLE OF MOTIVATION-REGULATION IN MASTER STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC READING
Authors: Diasti Krismalita Sekar , Mbato Concilianus Laos
Published: December 2020

Abstract: Motivation is a paramount aspect in the learning process. It is a drive that encourages students to achieve better learning results. In the process of accomplishing the learning task, students might encounter difficulties that can demotivate them. Therefore, motivation-regulation is needed to maintain students’ motivation in completing the task. Many studies have been done to investigate master students’ academic reading. Yet, little research has explored master students' motivation-regulation in academic reading. This paper sought to investigate the role of motivation-regulation in master students’ academic reading. It employed mixed-method research where the researchers distributed questionnaires and conducted an interview to collect the data. The research took place at the English Education Master’s Program of Sanata Dharma University from February to April in 2020. There were 14 master students involved in this study. The findings showed that there were three roles of motivation-regulation in master students’ academic reading: (1) Students had high self-efficacy in academic reading which enable them to accomplish the academic reading task; (2) they had an intrinsic interest in academic reading which empowered them to maintain their motivation in the process of academic reading; (3) they had positive emotions towards academic reading. The researchers concluded that the students in this study are capable of regulating their motivation in an academic reading task. This study proposed two suggestions for future research.Keywords: motivation, self-regulated learning, motivation-regulation, academic reading

Published: December 2020

Elaborating Critical Thinking Skills in TEFL Methodology subject has become one of the 21st century trends, prioritized in the pedagogic process of language courses. Lecturers as facilitators, motivators, boosters, co-learners and inspirational model are the foundation of innovative creativity to adapt and modify comprehensively, and integrate them in their teaching projects contextually; while, the learners themselves play as the active target of learning agents. This modern TEFL Methodology critically makes use of either authentic texts or real texts that are also confronted by the need to approach texts critically. This was revealed in this research, focused on the learners’ activities that enthusiastically engage critical thinking skills in their learning process. It runs actively, innovatively, creatively, dialogically, democratically and in a critical and interactive atmosphere. The importance of applying critical thinking skills in language learning process can empower learners to maximize the objective of TEFL Methodology learning target both oral and written in accordance with their social context. Learners enter in any task using the target language which contains the elements such as identification, investigation, analysis and problem solving then they must think critically. These kinds of communicative task are commonplace for they engage the learners in authentic communication settings. This is impressive and meaningful for the learners. Thus, recommending success in TEFL Methodology subject – as in life - requires effective use of language practically along with some measure of critical thinking.

This work aimed to morphologically characterize Eucalyptus dunni and E. urograndis to the application of hydrogel. By determining the morphological parameters of the seedlings and then of the plantations in the field, after the application of the hydrogel, the characterization was carried out. The first stages, was the production of seedlings - where their morphological characteristics were determined. The second was the evaluation of growth in the field - where the morphological characteristics of the plants were determined when applying the hydrogel. The results showed that the morphological characteristics of the seedlings were adequate for the final place (field). In the field, the best result were achieved in T1, thus demonstrating the efficiency of the hydrogel.

The research has proposed the model of integrated farming production towards zero - emissions based on the foundation of rice farming cultivation. The model of application of ecological solutions, the turnaround, and self-contained energy flow solutions with taking advantage of the existing ecological and environmental conditions of the locality help to maintain livelihoods for the people. Model of a typical application for the household cluster in Dinh Thanh, Thoai Son, An Giang province. The result shows that a straw volume used for the planting of straw mushrooms brings new sources of income to increase the 7.000.000 VND mushroom crop in 40 days, in addition, the rotting medium for growing straw mushrooms, which can be used the flowers to bring effectively revenues in the idle time. At the same time, 2m3/day of livestock and wastewater is processed and reused for agriculture, 39.065,31 tons/year collected in the form of biological gases serving cooking and the amount of straw 6-7 tons of straw/ha is reused by producing Biochar for agriculture, improve the land, improve the efficiency of fertilizer use for households to ensure the requirements of environmental protection, reduce the dependence of existing livelihoods on external factors such as prices, food, human,…. After using Biochar combined with manure for rice fields, helping people reduce 50% of the cost of using chemical fertilizers/ha, equivalent to 5,000,000 VND/ha. This can be seen as the best-integrated model for households whóe the main inheritance is rice cultivation combining livestock, the ability to apply long-term and can easily develop on a wide area, as well as increasing the likelihood of linking for many households to create mutual support in the case of a residential cluster with other livelihood activities besides rice cultivation.
Fossil fuels markets in the “energy transition” era

Published: December 2020

The global energy sector is undergoing a global transformation under the influence of technological breakthroughs in several sectors of production and consumption, as well as profound socioeconomic changes in approaches to energy use. This process became known as “energy transition.” In this paper, the authors investigate the long-term impact of the energy transition and related processes on the markets of key fossil fuels: oil, natural gas, and coal. Research shows that all fossil fuel sectors will face a significant increase in competition, both within traditional markets and from other energy sources, due to the development of inter-fuel competition. At the same time, energy policies and efforts to combat greenhouse gas emissions will mostly determine the energy balances of the largest countries, and will have an even greater impact on the market. Natural gas, as the most environmentally friendly of fossil fuels, with a large potential to supplement the generation of new renewable energy sources (NRES), will be the least impaired by the energy transition. In the next 20 years, its consumption and production are expected to grow significantly. Oil is under serious pressure from environmental legislation and growing inter-fuel competition in the transport sector. It is highly likely that consumption will peak before 2040, yet the depletion of traditional resources is supporting prices. The coal market is set for an almost inevitable reduction in consumption. New technologies for capturing emissions can only partially mitigate the rate of coal use decline.
Global energy trilemma
Authors: Grigoryev Leonid M. , Medzhidova Dzhanneta D.
Published: December 2020

The international community has become increasingly concerned with sustainable development and particularly with preventing climate change. The COVID-19 pandemic and global recession of 2020 will exacerbate the situation not just for 2020–2021, but for many years to come. Sadly, it is a game-changer. The necessity to solve problems of poverty (energy poverty) and inequality, as well as growth and climate change mitigation, now haunts intellectuals, forecasters, and politicians. These three problems constitute the global energy trilemma (GET). There is a wide range of forecasts, scenarios, and political plans emerging after the Paris Agreement in 2015. They demonstrate concerns about the slow progress on the matter; however, they still increase the goals for 2030–2050. The global capital formation is a key tool for changes while also representing the hard-budget investment constraints. This article examines practical features of recent trends in energy, poverty, and climate change mitigation, arguing that allocation and coordinated management of sufficient financial resources are vital for a simultaneous solution of GET. No group of countries can hope to solve each of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) separately. The global economy has reached the point where it has an urgent need for cooperation.

Published: December 2020

We compare the results of a survey of transit riders during COVID-19 against a regional household travel survey. The Facebook sample over-represents women and car-less respondents compared to the household survey. We also compare the demographics of a subset of Facebook survey respondents, those still riding transit during COVID-19, against a similar survey conducted by Transit app of its users. The picture of post-COVID transit riders is older and of higher incomes in the Facebook sample compared to the Transit app sample. Finally, we replicate a model of vehicle ownership produced with the household travel survey using the Facebook survey.
Impact of Inter-Channel Interference on Shallow Underwater Acoustic OFDM Systems

Published: December 2020

This paper investigates the impacts of Inter-Channel Interference (ICI) effects on a shallow underwater acoustic (UWA) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system. Considering both the turbulence of the water surface and the roughness of the bottom, a stochastic geometry-based channel model utilized for a wide-band transmission scenario has been exploited to derive a simulation model. Since the system bandwidth and the sub-carrier spacing is very limited in the range of a few kHz, the channel capacity of a UWA system is severely suffered by the ICI and Doppler effects. For further investigation, we construct the signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SINR) based on the simulation model, then evaluate the channel capacity. Numerical results show that the various factors of a UWA-OFDM system as subcarriers, bandwidth, and OFDM symbols affects the channel capacity under the different Doppler frequencies. Those observations give hints to select the good parameters for UWA-OFDM systems.
