Impact of two high resolution altimetry mission concepts for ocean forecasting
Authors: Benkiran Mounir , Le Traon Pierre-Yves , Rémy Elisabeth , Drillet Yann
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) with the Mercator Ocean/Copernicus Marine global 1/12° data assimilation system has been carried out to compare and quantify the expected performance of two high resolution altimetry mission concepts envisioned for the long-term evolution (post-2032) of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 topography mission. The two mission concepts are a constellation of two wide-swath altimeters and a constellation of 12 nadir altimeters. These two configurations greatly improve ocean forecasting and monitoring capabilities. Compared to a constellation of three nadir altimeters (the present configuration), analysis and forecast errors are reduced by a factor of 2. Our results also show that a constellation of two wide-swath altimeters has better performance than a constellation of 12 nadirs. Compared to a constellation of 12 nadirs, the error of the Sea Surface Height (SSH) forecast of a two wide swath constellation will be reduced by 14 % overall. Improvements are also observed when analysing surface currents and Lagrangian diagnostics. A constellation of two wide-swath altimeters thus seems to be a very promising concept for the long-term evolution of the Sentinel-3 topography mission.

Authors: Voon Li Li , Leong Siow Hoo , Liew Chin Ying
Published: February 2024

Early identification of at-risk students for timely intervention is critical to prevent non-completion of study programs. This article proposes a flipped class framework to support the academic success of at-risk students in an undergraduate Calculus course. It comprises three main components of setting, conduct, and monitoring. A flipped support class was implemented as periodic sessions throughout the learning semester over six consecutive semesters for the selected total of 560 at-risk students. At-risk students who attended the flipped support class reported a higher passing percentage than those who did not, in each of the six semesters. A strong mathematics foundation contributed to the likelihood of passing the course; however, it can be further increased by attending more hours of the flipped support class.

Published: February 2024

As part of a larger effort to explore the multiform relations between philosophy and literature—a research field that attracts growing attention— we focus on the philosophical aspects of literature. Our project tackles the subject of literature’s potential to generate knowledge. In our paper we intend to dwell on self-referential literature. This intriguing dimension of literary expression is associated with works in which self-reflective moves can be traced, that is, texts in which literary writing refers to and reflects on literature itself. The self-reflection of self-referential literature assumes many shapes, affecting in various ways the constitution of both content and form. Thus, our aim becomes twofold. First, we look into variants of literary self-reflection, while pondering the philosophical implications of each of those. Here, we are going to draw on examples from the writings of Stéphane Mallarmé, Paul Valéry, Maurice Blanchot and Clarice Lispector. Second, we propose to consider the necessary conditions and the prospects for obtaining some kind of knowledge by means of self-referential literature. In so doing, we examine alternative conceptions and kinds of knowledge which could be taken into account.

Published: February 2024

This quantitative research aims to examine the role of external assurance in moderating the effect of sustainability reporting quality on firm value in all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2018-2022. This study uses purposive sampling to determine the research sample so that 27 companies that meet the criteria are obtained. Data analysis was carried out with the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) model using IBM SPSS. The results found that the sustainability reporting quality indicated by the disclosure of sustainability reporting has a positive effect on firm value because the more items disclosed, the higher the sustainability reporting quality which has an impact on increasing firm value. Then this study found that external assurance does not moderate the effect of sustainability reporting quality and firm value because there are still several influencing factors. The results of this study contribute empirically that companies still have to improve the sustainability reporting quality through more voluntary disclosures to increase firm value, even though the existence of external assurance in sustainability reporting has not been considered by investors.

Published: February 2024

Dividend policy is one of the important decisions of a firm where this dividend policy is an important consideration for shareholders as an indicator of the firms success in managing the capital invested by investors. This study aims to provide empirical evidence of how earnings management affects dividend policy, then whether concentrated ownership and audit committee expertise can affect the relationship between earnings management and dividend policy. The research sample is a manufacturing company with a period of 2018-2022. The sample selection used a purposive sampling approach so that the total observations amounted to 128 observations. The results showed that earnings management has a remarkable effect on dividend coverage, concentrated ownership and audit committee expertise can affect the relationship between earnings management and dividend policy in an effective way. The effect proves that managers have the discretion to choose accounting methods to file better earnings as a way to signal the success of the firms management and on the other hand earnings control benefits focused ownership so that earnings management and concentrated ownership are complementary. This observation contributes to signal theory and firm theory in explaining the earnings control movement and focused ownership as moderating variables in explaining the relationship between earnings management and dividend coverage. The real implication of this research is that it can be used as a consideration for firms in making decisions regarding the proportion of dividends distributed, and can be a review tool for investors in investing.

The Transparent Eyes from Limbo in Hisaye Yamamoto’s Stories
Authors: Yamabe Shota
Published: February 2024

In her short-story collection Seventeen Syllables and Other Stories (1988), Japanese-American writer Hisaye Yamamoto (1921–2011) depicts the spiritual predicament of the Nisei, the children of Japanese immigrants, after World War II when they were incarcerated in camps. Because they were born in America, the Nisei are not Japanese like their parents, nor are they familiar with Japanese culture and tradition; however, they are not American either. Japanese Americans were not considered “proper” Americans because Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Yamamoto depicts the Nisei’s vulnerability through various motifs, the most overt of which is the imagery of perception. As the Nisei straddle the line between Japan and America and therefore lack a sense of cultural belonging, their seeing is free of national ideologies yet also unrooted. This analysis connects the Nisei’s vulnerability to Limbo in Dante’s Inferno, whose inhabitants are not condemned to eternal torture but remain trapped in indeterminacy without hope of salvation. The souls in Limbo signify the hazy status of the Nisei, who exist in the purgatory of identity.

Published: February 2024

The Chagai porphyry Cu belt in Pakistan is an important metallogenic terrain extending approximately 400 km in an east-west direction. Most of the known porphyry Cu deposits, such as the world-class Reko Diq deposit and Saindak deposit, are located in the western Chagai belt. In this study, the ZY1-02D hyperspectral data acquired by a recently launched spaceborne imaging spectrometer with 166 bands within a 0.4- to 2.5-μm spectral region were used to map mineral information over 8,000 km2 for exploring potential targets of porphyry Cu mineralization in the western Chagai belt. False color composite, spectral angle mapper, and wavelength position mapping methods were used in this research leading to the identification of a series of alteration minerals (including muscovite [sericite], kaolinite, alunite, epidote, chlorite, and calcite) from ZY1-02D data. The alteration mineral maps derived from ZY1-02D data match well with the known deposits and field inspections. Twenty-three new targets were identified as potential porphyry Cu mineralization targets for further exploration in the study area. Three targets, north of Saindak, Koh-i-Sultan, and Durban Chah, and six alteration sites in the southwest of Durban Chah, were inspected in the field, and Cu-Au mineralization was confirmed in all these inspected areas. As the ZY1-02D hyperspectral data covers most of the land area of the earth, this study provides new insights for mineral exploration and lithologic mapping in remote regions.
The Competitive Position of Countries Seeking Exploration and Development
Investment
Authors: Otto James M.
Published: February 2024

Companies have many countries from which to select when deciding where to spend their limited exploration and development budgets. The evolutionary trends in the investment environment tend to be different for developed, developing, and transitional economies. In developed economies there are issues such as access to land, security of tenure, the not-in-my-backyard syndrome, native title, and permitting delays. In developing nations, the main trend has been to reduce barriers to investment by reforming the regulatory and fiscal systems. Likewise, transition economies have also initiated reform efforts, but these often proceed in a number of steps as socialist ways of approaching the sector are progressively relinquished, typically in several phases of reform. This study identifies over 60 factors that may influence a company’s investment decision to invest in one country versus another. There are numerous criteria that can influence the decision process and these can be used to rank countries. The investment criteria can be divided into nine principal categories: geologic, political, regulatory, marketing, fiscal, monetary, environmental and social, operational and profit criteria, and when applied in a systematic way, can yield a profile of both geologic prospectivity and country risk. Strategies used by governments to attract investment include means by which perceptions concerning geologic prospectivity can be enhanced, as in the provision of information regarding the geologic environment and availability of open ground, regulatory system improvements, and direct marketing. This study concludes that nations can improve the likelihood of mineral sector investment by taking steps to satisfy investor decision criteria through informed policies and laws. Over the past two decades more than 110 nations have revised their mining and related laws or made major amendments to them. The result has been a lowering of many regulatory and fiscal risks; however, many risks remain that are beyond the control of government.
Metallurgical Advances and Their Impact on Mineral Exploration and
Mining
Authors: Hoal Karin O. , McNulty Terry P. , Schmidt Roland
Published: February 2024

Revolutionary advances in extractive metallurgy and mineral processing and their evolutionary application have significantly altered the processing operations of mining companies over time by increasing productivity and reducing costs. Some developments have had such an impact on the industry that new types of mineral deposits can be developed and waste becomes ore. Historically, it has taken years, in some cases decades, for metallurgical developments to affect exploration strategies, largely because of limited communications between geologists and metallurgists. Seven significant advances in the extractive sciences are viewed as having the highest impact on mineral exploration and mining. These are solvent extractionelectrowinning, leach processing, bioprocessing, flash smelting, geometallurgy, energy-efficient fine grinding, and underground processing. Developments in these fields have resulted in commercialized or piloted processes that demonstrably reduce capital and operating costs and thereby increase shareholder value. Two process developments with the potential to significantly affect the industry in the future are breaking rock in tension and in situ leach of metals. The benefits of metallurgical advances to exploration include reduced processing and capital costs, as well as elimination of repeat characterizations through improved analytical instrumentation and data transfer capabilities. New ore deposits are less likely to be overlooked or underappreciated when metallurgical and processing developments are integrated into team-based exploration planning. An example of new target generation is zinc oxide ore, such as that from Skorpion, Namibia, that has been made economic by hydrometallurgical techniques. As exploration targets and discoveries become increasingly deep, the successful development of orebodies will depend in part on the ability of metallurgists to develop innovative processing methods, such as pressure leach and bioleach hydrometallurgical technologies, or developments in mineral processing. To some extent, the ore geology of a deposit may predetermine the processing methods to be applied. However, the complex relationships of mineralogy, grade, and location, plus energy, capital, and other costs make the development of new extractive techniques a virtual necessity for exploration success.

This article introduces the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm, a novel method aimed at tackling the challenges posed by the multi-objective Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem. Drawing inspiration from the foraging behavior of grey wolves, GWO stands apart from traditional approaches by enhancing initial solutions without relying on gradient data collection from the objective function. In the domain of power system optimization, the OPF problem is widely acknowledged, involving constraints related to generator parameters, valve-point loading, reactive power, and active power. The proposed GWO technique is applied to IEEE 14-bus and 30-bus power systems, targeting four case objectives: minimizing cost with quadratic cost function, minimizing cost with inclusion of valve point, minimizing power loss, and minimizing both cost and losses simultaneously. For the IEEE-14 bus system, which requires meeting a power demand of 259 MW, GWO yields optimal costs of 827.0056 $hr, 833.4691 $hr, 1083.2410 $hr, and 852.2255 $hr across the four cases. Similarly, for the IEEE-30 bus system aiming to satisfy a demand of 283.4 MW, GWO achieves optimal costs of 801.8623 $hr, 825.9321 $hr, 1028.6309 $hr, and 850.4794 $hr for the respective cases. These optimal results are then compared with existing research outcomes, highlighting the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the GWO algorithm when juxtaposed with alternative methods for solving the OPF problem.

Through the method of literature review, it is found that there is a lack of analysis of the mechanisms and pathways to intervene in gender stereotyping in the workplace, and it is suggested that in the future, we should explore how to realize career development from the perspective of women's self-development.
Research on the Dual Dimensions of Artificial Intelligence in Precision Ideological and Political Education in Universities
Authors: Liang Zhao , Zhang Xiaolin
Published: February 2024

The article discusses the dual directions of AI-enabled ideological and political education, i.e., the technical direction and the social direction. In the technical direction, AI-enabled ideological and political education should focus on "accurate ideology and politics", and build a form of "accurate ideology and politics" based on the logic of content, technology and subject. In the social direction, AI-enabled ideological and political education should focus on "intelligent ideology and politics", and build a form of "intelligent ideology and politics" that is based on intelligent life, enhances intelligent thinking, and realizes the integration of reality and reality. This paper emphasizes that accurate ideology and politics is led by intelligent ideology and politics, and intelligent ideology and politics is based on accurate ideology and politics, which are complementary and inseparable.

Computing is a core competency for collaborative biostatisticians, who work on interdisciplinary scientific teams in medicine and publich health. However, computing is a broad field that encompases many underlying pedagogical constructs and subspeciality topics, not all of which are relevant for practicing biostatisticians. Furthermore, the ubiquitous nature of computing in biostatistics and the variation in computing education required to support students’ interests in biostatistics subspecialities presents a challenge for curriculum design. Specifically: where and how to integrate training in computing into biostatistics educational programs? We discuss here our answer to these questions as it relates to a 2-year, full-time, intensive master’s degree program in biostatistics. Specifically, we define and rationalize the core pedagogical contstruct that guided our curriculum deisgn—computational thinking—and then discuss our two-fold approach to training biostatistics master’s students in computing: creation of a 2-course series of targeted training in computing, and embedding training in computing throughout other courses in the curriculum. A detailed description of the course design is included along with a description of our instructional methods, including how we evaluate student performance.
THE SHARUKANIDS: HISTORY OF ONE KIPCHAK DYNASTY
Authors: Pylypchuk Yaroslav
Published: February 2024

Many issues on the history of the Sharukanid dynasty, which led the Donetsk Kipchaks, among whom the Sharukanid clan and the Toksoba tribe dominated, are reflected in the Rus' chronicles. This research paper aims to give a detailed overview on the Sharukanid dynasty of Kipchaks, based on the Rus' chronicles and "The Tale of Igor's Campaign". Relations with the Sharukanids were so important for Rus' that the chronicler recorded the complete genealogy of the representatives of this clan, from Sharukan to Yuri Konchakovich. Periods of peace alternated with periods of confrontation. Under Otrok (Atrak) and Yuri Konchakovich, the Kipchaks did not bother Rus', as they were busy with wars in Dashti-Kipchak. Confrontation with Rus' occurred during the reign of Sharukan and Konchak. Subsequently the Sharukanid clan was divided into smaller clans, and one of them was Eltukovo, near the borders of the Ryazan principality and Volga Bulgaria. The succession to the throne in the Donetsk union was ordered by Otrok, who secured it for his descendants, using experience borrowed from Georgia. During the reign of Otrok, the Sharukanids fought with the Kaepichis (rulers from the Kai clan), rivals of the Sharukanids. Yuri Konchakovich fought with other chiefdoms, the khanate of the Durut tribe and the confederation of Derbent Kipchaks. The stay of Otrok (Atrak) in Georgia can be dated back to 1118 - 1125, and the return to the Kipchak steppes was due to Syrchan’s request to help in the war with the Kaepichi, which lasted until 1160. Taking advantage, the Kaepichi seized dominance in the Don region at the beginning of the 12th century.

By delving into the literature, this research explores the potential impact of Critical Pedagogy on Religious Education. This approach involves students in critical thinking, reflection, and open dialogue regarding religious values to address contemporary social issues. The article examines the key concepts of Critical Pedagogy and its integration into the Religious Education curriculum, aiming to enhance the relevance of religious education. The combination of these two approaches is expected to create students who not only understand religious values but can also apply them to promote peace, justice, and human rights. The conclusion highlights the potential contribution of Critical Pedagogy in shaping a new, responsive paradigm for Religious Education, creating a dynamic learning environment in the face of the complexities of contemporary social challenges. Further research is expected to serve as a solid foundation for positive transformation in religious education and the development of students' perspectives on peace, justice, and human rights
Applying ne bis in idem in the aftermath of bpost and Nordzucker: The case of EU competition policy in digital markets
Authors: Colangelo Giuseppe , Cappai Marco
Published: February 2024

In bpost and Nordzucker, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Justice finally arrived at a unified test for ne bis in idem, applicable to all areas of EU law. It rejected the antitrust-specific threefold condition of idem (same offender, same facts, and same protected legal interest) developed in Aalborg Portland and Toshiba, and focused solely on material acts, in line with Van Esbroek and Menci. The judgments are extremely timely given the increasing risks of overlapping decisions as a result of recent legislative initiatives undertaken at EU and national level targeting large online platforms. This article maintains that although bpost and Nordzucker are welcome, some relevant issues remain unaddressed and may undermine the sound implementation of the ne bis in idem principle in the digital economy.

Unravelling Next Generation EU As A Transformative Moment: From Market Integration To Redistribution
Authors: Panascì Maria Antonia
Published: February 2024

This article aims to understand the extent to which Next Generation EU (NGEU) can truly be considered a substantive change without a constitutional amendment. It draws on the concept of “constitutional transformation” to unravel what kind of informal change NGEU has introduced and how this affects the interpretation of formally unaltered provisions. To this end, given the crucial importance of Article 125 TFEU in the distributive pattern of resources within the EU and its role in the ideological construction of EU intervention in the economy, the article assesses NGEU against this provision, claiming that forms and objectives of Union financial assistance have changed thanks to a new politically-accepted interpretation of Article 125 TFEU. It is submitted that this new meaning of Article 125TFEU reflects a deeper change in the fundamental political telos of the Union, namely a shift from Member States’ integration through the market to redistribution through public intervention, with material implications for Member States’ financial liabilities.
