“The Right to be Remembered?”: The Contemporary Challenges of the “Streisand Effect” in the European Judicial Reality
Authors: Kocharyan Hovsep , Hamuľák Ondrej , Vardanyan Lusine
Published: March 2023

The protection of human privacy is one of the most disputable topics of European human rights law. That is why the judicial practice of the European Supranational Courts is rich in numerous decisions in this area, since human privacy is one of the most violated human rights, especially in the context of the development of digital technologies. Trying to find protection of their rights through institutional mechanisms of human rights (in particular, through the CJEU and the ECtHR), the applicant often finds himself/herself in a more difficult position: he/she becomes even more an object of public discussion. This phenomenon is especially vividly illustrated by the judicial practice of the European Supranational Courts in the field of protection of the right to be forgotten, which will be paid attention to in this research. At the same time, some suggestions will also be put forward to strengthen the effectiveness of protecting the confidentiality of applicants in the judicial decisions of the Courts.
Transformational Consulting: Shifting from Consultant-centered Solutions to Client-centered Solutions
Authors: Chinoperekweyi Justine
Published: March 2023

Consulting has evolved significantly over the years. This is in response to the changing operating environment and the emerging needs of organizations. To enrich client-consultant relationships, this article explores the changing philosophical positions around consulting and some of the applied techniques to make consulting an instrument of help in organizations. To enhance understanding of the varying consulting approaches, the article covers consulting approaches from Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx, Erich Fromm, and Patrick Trottier. The philosophical positions and insights from their work will support the emerging consultant in deepening transformational consulting. Through a review of the literature and reflecting on the author’s consulting practice, the article summarizes approaches to enhance transformational consulting. These approaches advance the humanistic paradigm and as such promotes the co-creation of solutions with the client system. The article positions the Use of Self and Action Research as fundamental to enriching consultants’ productive impact. In addition, the article highlights four strength-based models that enrich the design of client-centered solutions.
The Effect of Brexit on the Management Consulting Industry for UK- and EU-based Firms
Authors: McGovern Morgan
Published: March 2023

This thesis seeks to investigate how Brexit has affected the management consulting industry for United Kingdom and European Union firms. The topic is of importance to the EU/UK management consulting community since Brexit caused disruption which in turn created an opportunity to analyze how this created costs and opportunity for firms. The study examines the relationship by first summarizing the events of Brexit through an annual order to identify which years presented the most change. The hypotheses of this study states that Brexit will have a negative effect on management consulting firm’s operations. It also states that there may be a positive effect for some firms that could profit from Brexit as a business, such as opportunity for new clientele. These changes are then identified through a close examination of secondary resources including papers, articles, and scholarly resources. There is also an analysis of primary source interviews conducted through the course of 2020-2021. The findings of this research were overshadowed by COVID-19’s negative effects on the management consulting industry in the UK. However, I do find evidence of both negative and positive effects; the results of the interviews shed light on the mechanisms. Specifically, I found that some firms were able to profit from Brexit by absorbing new clientele in need of Brexit specialists, and that there was a drive towards a need for new technology, specifically in the financial services sector.

“One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” : Gulag and Survival
Authors:   Institute for Russian and Altaic Studies, CBNU, Kim Won Han
Published: March 2023

The main character of the novel, Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, an ordinary farmer in the Soviet Union, was conscripted during the World WarⅡ and sentenced to 10 years in Gulag for treason while serving in the army. He has spent 8 years in a Soviet concentration camp(Gulag) and is currently in his 9th year. Shukhov is having a hard time fulfilling the given amount of work every day in the harsh cold weather and harsh environment. Most of the prisoners in the camp were classified as political prisoners, but in fact they were innocent people. Shukhov was also accused of treason and classified as a political criminal, but he too was only a victim of Stalin's violent policies. What is the strength that keeps Shukhov enduring life in the camp despite the harsh environment? In this article, we analyzed the theme of ‘Gulag and survival’. First, we looked at the Gulag in the Soviet Union. And we analyzed the prisoner characters including Shukhov held there. The Soviet Gulag originated from the Siberian exile in the 16th centry, and most of the prisoners in the 19th centry were ordinary criminals. Even in Soviet concentration camps(Gulag), political prisoners accounted for only 20% of all prisoners. However, most of the prisoners in the novel “One Day in the life of Ivan Denisovich” were set as political prisoners. This seems to be Solzhenitsyn's intentional character setting. It was a way to emphasize the misguided policy of the Soviet Union. Shukhov and Baptist Alyoshka have a conversation about the Russian church and faith at the end of the novel, and here we learn that Shukhov's will to survive in the Gulag was very strong. That is, he has a clear purpose for survival. Also, although his faith was weak, it was confirmed that he had faith as a Russian Orthodox Christian.

Dental implant therapy is considered a successful oral rehabilitation treatment. Advances in design, surface characteristics and surgical protocols make implant rehabilitation an effective treatment alternative for edentulous areas and solve functional, phonetic aesthetic and psychological problems; however, risk factors such as diabetes can compromise osseointegration or negatively affect the maintenance of peri-implant biological health. Marginal Bone loss and plaque index have been used to identify peri-implant diseases related to oral rehabilitation with implants. Objective: analyze the survival rate of dental implants in diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic patients. Methodology: The PRISMA statement parameters were used to develop the search strategy and answer the PICO question: does implant placement in healthy versus diabetic patients have a higher survival rate? Results: From a total of 175 articles, 13 were selected for bias analysis. The quantitative variables of the different studies were analyzed to answer the PICO question. Conclusions: It was found that there is no relationship between the survival rate un controlled diabetic and non-diabetic patients according to the analysis of marginal bone loss and plaque index, however, significant differences were found between uncontrolled diabetic patients and non-diabetic patients.

Learning Reference Governor for Constrained Spacecraft Rendezvous and Proximity Maneuvering
Authors: Ikeya Kosuke , Liu Kaiwen , Girard Anouck , Kolmanovsky Ilya
Published: March 2023

Spacecraft automated rendezvous, proximity maneuvering, and docking (ARPOD) play significant roles in many space missions, including on-orbit servicing and active debris removal. Precise modeling and prediction of spacecraft dynamics can be challenging due to the uncertainties and perturbation forces in the spacecraft operating environment and due to the multilayered structure of its nominal control system. Despite this complication, spacecraft maneuvers need to satisfy required constraints (thrust limits, line-of-sight cone constraints, relative velocity of approach constraints, etc.) to ensure safety and achieve ARPOD objectives. This paper considers an application of a learning-based reference governor (LRG) to spacecraft ARPOD operations to enforce constraints without relying on a dynamic model of the spacecraft during the mission. Similar to the conventional reference governor (RG), the LRG is an add-on supervisor to a closed-loop control system, serving as a prefilter on the command generated by the ARPOD planner. The LRG modifies, if it becomes necessary, the reference command to a constraint-admissible value to enforce specified constraints. The LRG is distinguished, however, by the ability to rely on learning instead of an explicit model of the system; and it guarantees constraints’ satisfaction during and after the learning. In this paper, the LRG is applied to the control of combined translational and rotational motions of a chaser spacecraft, and three case studies with different sets of safety constraints and thruster assumptions are used to demonstrate the benefits of the LRG in ARPOD missions.

Published: March 2023

This work presents measurements of liquid drop deformation and breakup time behind approximately conical shock waves and evaluates the predictive capabilities of low-order models and correlations developed using planar shock experiments. A conical shock was approximated by firing a bullet at Mach 4.5 past a vertical column of water drops with a mean initial diameter of [Formula: see text]. The time-resolved drop position and maximum transverse dimension were characterized using backlit stereo images taken at 500 kHz. The gas density and velocity fields experienced by the drops were estimated using a Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulation of the bullet. Classical correlations predict drop breakup times and deformation in error by a factor of 3 or more. The Taylor analogy breakup (TAB) model predicts deformed drop diameters that agree within the confidence bounds of the ensemble-averaged experimental values using a dimensionless constant [Formula: see text] compared to the accepted value [Formula: see text]. Results demonstrate existing correlations are inadequate for predicting the drop response to the three-dimensional relaxation of the flowfield downstream of a conical-like shock and suggest the TAB model results represent a path toward improved predictions.
Multibody-Dynamics Approach to Study the Deformation and Aerodynamics of an Insect Wing
Authors: Le Vu Dan Thanh , Nguyen Anh Tuan , Dang Ngoc Thanh
Published: March 2023

In this study, a multibody-dynamics simulation approach was developed for a hawkmoth flexible wing. The wing structure is modeled as a chain of rigid bodies connected by elastic springs, and the aerodynamic force is measured by the extended unsteady vortex-lattice method. The multibody-dynamics and aerodynamic solvers are combined by an implicit coupling approach, and the quasi-Newtonian method is adopted to solve the system of nonlinear differential equations of motion. For validation, numerical results were compared with measurement data from a robotic wing and a living insect. A parametric analysis was conducted to study the effects of several kinematic parameters on the deformation and aerodynamic performance of the wing in hover. In most cases, using a flexible wing is far more efficient in terms of force production in comparison with its rigid counterpart. In general, wing deformation may cause considerable differences between the wing-tip and wing-base kinematic parameters. In particular, elevation motion as observed in living insects may be due to the passive oscillations of elastic elements, as opposed to a deliberate motion.
Nonintrusive Experimental Aeroelastic Analysis of a Highly Flexible Wing
Authors: Mertens Christoph , Costa Fernández José L. , Sodja Jurij , Sciacchitano Andrea , van Oudheusden Bas W.
Published: March 2023

The aeroelastic response of the Delft–Pazy wing to steady and periodic unsteady inflow conditions is analyzed experimentally. The Delft–Pazy wing is a highly flexible wing model based on the benchmark Pazy wing (Avin, O., Raveh, D. E., Drachinsky, A., Ben-Shmuel, Y., and Tur, M., “Experimental Aeroelastic Benchmark of a Very Flexible Wing,” AIAA Journal, Vol. 60, No. 3, 2022, pp. 1745–1768) and exhibits wingtip displacements of more than 24% of the span in the present study. The nonintrusive measurements are performed with an integrated optical approach that provides combined measurements of the structural response of the wing and the unsteady flowfield around it. The aeroelastic loads acting on the wing are derived using physical models and validated against force balance measurements, showing a good agreement for all considered inflow conditions. The analysis of the aeroelastic response of the wing to the unsteady inflow produced by a gust generator shows that both structural and aerodynamic responses depend strongly on the frequency of the gust. The results of this study provide a characterization of the aeroelastic behavior of the Delft–Pazy wing and can serve as a reference for the development of novel and improved nonlinear aeroelastic simulation models.

Todas las selecciones de personal, incluyendo aquellas que se dirigen a profesiones de alta exigencia en intervención en rescate e incendios, como la de bombero, tienen la intención de ir eliminando a las personas menos preparadas, por ello es necesario que los procesos incorporen pruebas físicas contrastadas y eficaces, y sean aplicadas de la forma más rigurosa posible. En los últimos 15 años se han convocado más de 6500 plazas fijas de bombero que incluyen pruebas físicas. El objetivo del trabajo fue analizar la información y características generales de las pruebas físicas recogidas en las convocatorias públicas para plazas de bomberos (no forestales) en España entre los años 2020 y 2021, y así comprobar su congruencia y homogeneidad. Se revisaron todas las convocatorias existentes (N=16; n=16) de ámbito local, provincial y autonómico recogidas en el portal de empleo público estatal, utilizando un formulario ad hoc de 15 ítems revisado previamente por un panel de expertos. Los resultados mostraron una amplia variedad de posibilidades en la presentación y realización de pruebas para una misma capacidad valorada, que no permiten homogeneizar las mismas oportunidades de acceso entre los diferentes lugares del país. Sería necesario contar permanentemente con asesoramiento y supervisión especializada durante la organización de las pruebas físicas, al mismo tiempo que estimular mayor evidencia científica que permita optimizarla elección e implementación de las mencionadas pruebas en los procesos selectivos.

MLQD: A package for machine learning-based quantum dissipative dynamics
Authors: Ullah Arif , Dral Pavlo O.
Published: March 2023

Machine learning has emerged as a promising paradigm to study the quantum dissipative dynamics of open quantum systems. To facilitate the use of our recently published ML-based approaches for quantum dissipative dynamics, here we present an open-source Python package MLQD (https://github.com/Arif-PhyChem/MLQD), which currently supports the three ML-based quantum dynamics approaches: (1) the recursive dynamics with kernel ridge regression (KRR) method, (2) the non-recursive artificial-intelligence-based quantum dynamics (AIQD) approach and (3) the blazingly fast one-shot trajectory learning (OSTL) approach, where both AIQD and OSTL use the convolutional neural networks (CNN). This paper describes the features of the MLQD package, the technical details, optimization of hyperparameters, visualization of results, and the demonstration of the MLQD's applicability for two widely studied systems, namely the spin-boson model and the Fenna--Matthews--Olson (FMO) complex. To make MLQD more user-friendly and accessible, we have made it available on the XACS cloud computing platform (https://XACScloud.com) via the interface to the MLatom package (http://MLatom.com).
First Principles Reaction Discovery: From the Schrodinger Equation to Experimental Prediction for Methane Pyrolysis
Authors: Xu Rui , Meisner Jan , Chang Alexander , Thompson Keiran , Martinez Todd
Published: March 2023

Our recent success in exploiting graphical processing units (GPUs) to accelerate quantum chemistry computations led to the development of the ab initio nanoreactor, a computational framework for automatic reaction discovery and kinetic model construction. In this work, we apply the ab initio nanoreactor to methane pyrolysis, from automatic reaction discovery to path refinement and kinetic modeling. Elementary reactions occurring during methane pyrolysis are revealed using GPU-accelerated ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Subsequently, these reaction paths are refined at a higher level of theory with optimized reactant, product, and transition state geometries. Reaction rate coefficients are calculated by transition state theory based on the optimized reaction paths. The discovered reactions lead to a kinetic model with 53 species and 134 reactions, which is validated against experimental data and simulations using literature kinetic models. We highlight the advantage of leveraging local brute force and Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis approaches for efficient identification of important reactions. Both sensitivity approaches can further improve the accuracy of methane pyrolysis kinetic model. The results in this work demonstrate the power of the ab initio nanoreactor framework for computationally affordable systematic reaction discovery and accurate kinetic modeling.

We report on the high potential of a honeycomb reactor for use in aerobic oxidation under continuous flow conditions. The honeycomb reactor is made of porous material with narrow channels separated by porous walls allowing for high density accumulation in the reactor. This structure raised the mixing efficiency of a gas-liquid reaction system, and it effectively accelerated aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohols to benzaldehydes under continuous flow conditions. This reactor is a promising device for streamlining aerobic oxidation with high process safety because it is a closed system.
Validation of Peak Ground Velocities Recorded on Very-high rate GNSS Against NGA-West2 Ground Motion Models

Published: March 2023

Observations of strong ground motion during large earthquakes are generally made with strong-motion accelerometers. These observations have a critical role in early warning systems, seismic engineering, source physics studies, basin and site amplification, and macroseismic intensity estimation. In this manuscript, we present a new observation of strong ground motion made with very high rate (>= 5 Hz) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) derived velocities. We demonstrate that velocity observations recorded on GNSS instruments are consistent with existing ground motion models and macroseismic intensity observations. We find that the ground motion predictions using existing NGA-West2 models match our observed peak ground velocities with a median log total residual of 0.03-0.33 and standard deviation of 0.72-0.79, and are statistically significant following normality testing. We finish by deriving a Ground Motion Model for peak ground velocity from GNSS and find a total residual standard deviation 0.58, which can be improved by ~2% when considering a simple correction for Vs30.
The welfare costs of business cycles unveiled: measuring the extent of stabilization policies
Authors: Barros Fernando , Gomes Fábio , Luduvice André Victor D.
Published: March 2023

How can we measure the welfare benefit of ongoing stabilization policies? We develop a methodology to calculate the welfare cost of business cycles taking into account that observed consumption is partially smoothed. We propose a decomposition that disentangles consumption in a mix of laissez-faire (absent policies) and riskless components. With a novel identification strategy, we estimate the span of stabilization power. In our preferred specification, we find that the welfare cost of total fluctuations is 11 percent of lifetime consumption, of which 82 percent is smoothed by the status quo policies, yielding a residual 1.8 percent of consumption to be tackled by policymakers.

This article describes the human resources for health (HRH) policy and action plan development in Barbados, Grenada, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the supporting role of the PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centre on Health Workforce Planning and Research, Dalhousie University, and sub-regional action for supporting continuing country-level HRH strengthening. A policy development process, comprising document/literature review and stakeholder consultations, was used to conduct a situational analysis, which informed the HRH policy and action plan. The policies and action plans centered on HRH priority areas of leadership and governance, HRH planning capacity, strengthening primary health care, optimization of pre- and post-licensure education/training, retention and recruitment, deployment and utilization, inter-sectoral and external partnerships for sustainability, health information systems, and HRH research. A cross-sectional analysis of the findings found that HRH challenges and priority areas were consistent across the countries, resulting in similar policy priority actions that are aligned with the regional lines of action for strengthening HRH for universal access to health and universal health coverage. The results support the value-add in collaborating on a regional level to build capacity for needs-based HRH planning within member countries. The Caribbean-Community (CARICOM), with facilitation by Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) Caribbean Subregional Programme, has established the Human Resources for Health Action Task Force for the Caribbean. The expertise of the Dalhousie University PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centre, provided through the technical assistance, supported the three countries in this important initiative and provides for further opportunities to support PAHO, the Task Force, and countries as they work to achieve their HRH strengthening objectives.

Published: March 2023

Background: Priority-setting for early access to vaccines during a pandemic optimizes the impact of vaccine rollout, however, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have little experience in policymaking on this. In the Islamic Republic of Iran, the national clinical ethics committee developed a policy for early access to COVID-19 vaccines with support from the national committee on COVID-19 vaccine. Aims: This paper reports the process and results of a national COVID-19 vaccine priority-setting in the Islamic Republic of Iran and discusses its ethical and cultural aspects. Methods: A multidisciplinary team of experts planned and developed a national guideline following an extensive literature review and face-to-face consultations. Results: We present the list of priority groups and subgroups, tiered through a 4-phase process, as well as the ethical values and sociocultural issues underpinning COVID-19 vaccine prioritization in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Conclusions: Our experience shows that a transparent and well-reasoned policymaking process can inform fair prioritysetting for pandemic vaccines, especially in LMICs.
Tracking of ARPA Radar Signals Based on UK–PDAF and Fusion with AIS Data
Authors: Han Chan Woo , Lee Sung Wook , Jin Eun Seok
Published: March 2023

To maintain the existing systems of ships and introduce autonomous operation technology, it is necessary to improve situational awareness through the sensor fusion of the automatic identification system (AIS) and automatic radar plotting aid (ARPA), which are installed sensors. This study proposes an algorithm for determining whether AIS and ARPA signals are sent to the same ship in real time. To minimize the number of errors caused by the time series and abnormal phenomena of heterogeneous signals, a tracking method based on the combination of the unscented Kalman filter and probabilistic data association filter is performed on ARPA radar signals, and a position prediction method is applied to AIS signals. Especially, the proposed algorithm determines whether the signal is for the same vessel by comparing motion-related components among data of heterogeneous signals to which the corresponding method is applied. Finally, a measurement test is conducted on a training ship. In this process, the proposed algorithm is validated using the AIS and ARPA signal data received by the voyage data recorder for the same ship. In addition, the proposed algorithm is verified by comparing the test results with those obtained from raw data. Therefore, it is recommended to use a sensor fusion algorithm that considers the characteristics of sensors to improve the situational awareness accuracy of existing ship systems.
La casa palacio del Temple de Toledo: Un monumento taifa recientemente recuperado
Authors: Cabañero Subiza Bernabé , Herrera Ontañón Valero
Published: March 2023

Del estudio de los elementos arquitectónicos y decorativos de la Casa del Temple en Toledo, sita en la calle de la Soledad, n.º 2, se deduce que este pequeño palacio fue construido y decorado entre los años 1085 y 1114. La rigurosa contemporaneidad existente entre este monumento toledano, el palacio de la Aljafería de Zaragoza (1046-1082) y el alfarje de la iglesia de San Millán de Segovia (labrada y armada hacia 1110) se refleja en que gran parte de los elementos constructivos de las techumbres y ornamentales son prácticamente iguales en los tres edificios. La Casa palacio del Temple fue notablemente reformada en el siglo XIV, época de la que se conservan numerosas yeserías mudéjares, principalmente en puertas y ventanas. La datación con bastante seguridad del repertorio decorativo y de los elementos constructivos existentes en las armaduras de madera de Toledo y Segovia entre 1085 y 1114 sirve como pauta de cronologia absoluta para la datación de otras piezas lígneas de características prácticamente idénticas de la Península Ibérica y del Magreb.
