Published: May 2024

The assessment of groundwater potential using the electromagnetic method at Oreke community located in part of Kwara State, Nigeria was carried out to determine the groundwater potential, depth and productivity of the aquifer in the study area. A combination of eight traverses was investigated using the electromagnetic method by means of PQWT –TC 200 geophysical equipment. The information recorded with the use of PQWT-TC 200 at each reading station was plotted at the midpoint of the distance between the two electrodes along the established profiles. Electrode spacing used was between 5 – 10m and a station interval of about 0.5 – 2m was maintained. Based on the results generated, it was revealed that the study area has good groundwater potential except for traverse seven (7) which do not show good groundwater potential for domestic use. The interpretation of the electromagnetic data obtained within the study area showed that the depth to the aquifer in the study area is between 120m to 195m which shows good yield and potential zones.

Published: May 2024

Introdução: A retocolite ulcerativa é uma doença inflamatória intestinal crônica e idiopática. O controle da doença é realizado por meio de corticosteroides, ácido 5-aminossalicílico e imunossupressores. Estudos epidemiológicos mostram que as crises desta doença ocorrem em menor frequência em pacientes fumantes. Assim a nicotina surge como terapia alternativa para pacientes que não possuem tolerância para corticosteroides. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão integrativa de ensaios clínicos que utilizaram a nicotina por diferentes vias de administração e observar seus resultados no tratamento da retocolite ulcerativa. Material e métodos: Foi realizada a busca de artigos científicos nas seguintes bases de dados: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System on-line (MEDLINE) e Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), usando os descritores “nicotina” e “colite ulcerativa”, e os termos correspondentes em inglês. Resultados: Foram identificados 61 artigos em um levantamento realizado em setembro de 2023, sendo selecionados 14 para compor a atual revisão integrativa, baseado nos critérios de inclusão e exclusão estabelecidos. A revisão integrativa mostrou que a nicotina, embora apresente uma eficácia menor que os corticosteroides tradicionalmente utilizados no tratamento da retocolite ulcerativa, pode ser utilizada como um tipo de terapia alternativa. Conclusões: A partir da análise dos ensaios clínicos foi possível concluir que a administração de nicotina em cápsulas parece ser a via de administração mais promissora, causando menos efeitos indesejados. Espera-se que novas pesquisas para o estabelecimento de novas vias de administração e formulações de nicotina sejam desenvolvidas para melhorar a tolerância a este fármaco.

Published: May 2024

Previous research has shown that the transparency of the language used for instruction influences how quickly learners acquire reading skills. Children who are immersed in languages with transparent orthographies tend to acquire reading skills faster and encounter fewer difficulties compared to those learning to read in languages with opaque orthographies. The goal of this study was to examine how the depth of orthography affects the acquisition of morphological awareness skills among Silozi-English bilingual students in the 6th grade. Given that Silozi orthography is more transparent than English orthography, it was expected that 6th graders would have significantly stronger morphological awareness skills in Silozi compared to English, as seen in other aspects of the reading process. In a quasi-experimental design, we assessed the derivational and decomposition skills of 120 participants using equivalent Silozi and English measures of morphological awareness in a primary school located in the Mongu District of Zambia’s western province. The results reveal statistically significant differences in derivational and decomposition achievement between Silozi and English morphological awareness tasks, contradicting our expectations, as learners performed better in English compared to Silozi.

Published: May 2024

La dimensión particular del espacio que habitan los pueblos en San Blas Atempa es también una historia de los lugares, como referencias primordiales del amor a una tierra, que se comprenden en su carácter filial, el de cohabitar un hogar en común. Este sentido de filiación está tejido por la referencia de la vida cotidiana que se traduce en prácticas, gustos, goces, olores, sabores, texturas; todos los sentidos cuyos significados se encuentran impregnados en ambientes afectivos que construyen las personas a lo largo del tiempo. En este trabajo se aborda la dinámica de los lugares como referencias sim- bólicas y materiales que delimitan las construcciones históricas de la comunalidad del pueblo binnizá1, en un escenario en donde se entrevén procesos intensivos de urbanización e industrialización a través de una estrategia de integración de las comunidades a los polos de desarrollo, que se prevé incentivarán la desarticulación del tejido comunitario. En contra- posición, veremos como existe una intensa actividad ligada a la vida comunitaria, ceremonial y productiva en torno a dos construcciones sobre los lugares: el guendaliza´a y los mercaditos campesinos.

Abstract: Tatabu reservoir water body was divided into three distinct sampling sites (Upper, Middle and Lower course). Three different sampling locations were established between each sampling site. The entire areas of each of the sampling plots were inventoried into details and the biological forms and spatial distributions of the aquatic macrophytes were noted, water and sediment samples were also collected for analysis and nutrient load. A total of 21 plant species belonging to 13 families were recorded during the low water regime while 24 plant species belonging to 14 families were recorded during the high water regime. The floristic biological life form of these plants consists of 17 emergent plant species, 5 floating and 2 submerged plant species during the low water regime while during the high water regime, there were14 emergent, 5 floating and 2 submerged macrophyte species. comparative studies of low and high water regime showed that the maccrophytic species composition during both water regimes were a bit similar. Nitrogen concentration (mg/l) in water samples ranges between 3.5 to 13.5 during the low water regime and 5.5-17.5 during high water regime, Phosphorous (mg/l) ranged between 2.8-15.7 and 2.7-17.5 during low and high water regime respectively. Potassium (mg/l) ranged between 3.5-14.0 and 3.0-16.5 during low and high water regime respectively. Nitrogen concentration (mg/l)in soil (sediments) samples ranges between 3.0 to 12.5 during low water regime and 3.0-6.0 during low and high water regime respectively, potassium (mg/kg) ranged between 3.0-12.5 and 3.0-13.5 during lowand high water regime respectively. Higher proliferation of aquatic macrophytes and more species were observed during the higher water regime than what was observed during the low water regime. This present study shows a dangerous trend in the rate at which invasive plants are colonizing the reservoir, it is therefore essential to monitor and manage the influx of these invasive plants in the reservoir, most especially typha spp, water lilly and other aquatic plants that can bore heavy financial loses.

Enhancing toponym identification: Leveraging Topo-BERT and open-source data to differentiate between toponyms and extract spatial relationships
Authors: Shingleton Joseph , Basiri Ana
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Geoparsing, the process of linking locations within text to sets of geographic coordinates, plays an important role in the extraction and analysis of information from unstructured textual data. With the rapid growth in availability of user-generated data from online sources, there is increasing demand for reliable geoparsing methods. Central to many of these methods is the accurate identification of toponyms within text. For some applications, however, simple identification of toponyms is insufficient. Problems which require the association of a piece of text containing multiple toponyms to a singular location require a more nuanced approach. In this paper, we show that a transformer based deep learning model, is able to identify the subject toponym within a given text, and classify other toponyms in terms of their spatial relationship with the subject. We curate a dataset of text taken from Wikipedia pages representing 5252 locations, and use OpenStreetMap data to classify toponyms within the text in terms of their spatial relationship with the subject of each article. This dataset is then used to train a transformer based deep-learning model. On a human labelled test set, our model achieves an F1 score of 0.916 when identifying the subject toponym, and 0.884 and 0.793 when identifying toponyms representing parent and child locations of the subject, respectively. We also consider the more complex adjacent and crossing relationships - with the model achieving F1 scores of 0.548 and 0.704 in these categories, respectively.

Published: May 2024

Abstract. Volunteered Geographic Information (‘VGI’) and crowdsourcing are integral for projects such as Open- StreetMap (‘OSM’). However, despite the wide use of OSM as one of the most successful crowdsourcing platforms, the under-representation of certain demographic groups amongst those who contribute information may ultimately mean this information favours the interests of some groups over others. This can result in misleading conclusions for analyses conducted on the basis of these data. This paper connects OSM user contributions to demographic data collected via a survey. It shows that, in relation to geographic diversity of contributions, men and women demonstrate distinct trends over time. It then considers the extent to which this observed pattern can be seen as influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, it concludes that there does not appear to be a distinct ‘pandemic effect’ divergent from longer-term trends.
Measuring Geographic Diversity of Foundation Models with a Natural Language–based Geo-guessing Experiment on GPT-4
Authors: Liu Zilong , Janowicz Krzysztof , Currier Kitty , Shi Meilin
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Generative AI based on foundation models provides a first glimpse into the world represented by machines trained on vast amounts of multimodal data ingested by these models during training. If we consider the resulting models as knowledge bases in their own right, this may open up new avenues for understanding places through the lens of machines. In this work, we adopt this thinking and select GPT-4, a state-of-the-art representative in the family of multimodal large language models, to study its geographic diversity regarding how well geographic features are represented. Using DBpedia abstracts as a ground-truth corpus for probing, our natural language–based geo-guessing experiment shows that GPT-4 may currently encode insufficient knowledge about several geographic feature types on a global level. On a local level, we observe not only this insufficiency but also inter-regional disparities in GPT-4’s geo-guessing performance on UNESCO World Heritage Sites that carry significance to both local and global populations, and the inter-regional disparities may become smaller as the geographic scale increases. Morever, whether assessing the geo-guessing performance on a global or local level, we find inter-model disparities in GPT-4’s geo-guessing performance when comparing its unimodal and multimodal variants. We hope this work can initiate a discussion on geographic diversity as an ethical principle within the GIScience community in the face of global socio-technical challenges.
The Impact of Traffic Lights on Modal Split and Route Choice: A use-case in Vienna

Published: May 2024

Abstract. The transportation dynamics within a European city, Vienna, are examined using a multi-graph representation of the city’s network. The focus is on time-optimized routing algorithms and the effects of altering the average waiting penalty at traffic lights. The impact of these modifications, whether an increase to 60, 90, or even 150 seconds or a decrease to 10 seconds, is observed in the selection of transportation modes and routes for identical origin and destination pairs. The investigation also extends to whether routes shift towards secondary street networks to avoid traffic lights as the waiting penalty increases. Experimental variations in average waiting time for cars aim to uncover detailed effects on transportation mode choices, route length and time changes, and variations in human energy expenditure. These findings could provide valuable insights into the transportation network and its possibilities and help in urban planning and policy development. The results indicate a shift in transportation mode as the waiting penalty for cars at traffic lights increases, and in some instances, routes are redirected to roads of lower importance such as residential or service roads.
Patterns of (dis)agreement: revealing differences in perceived neighborhood boundaries in Lisbon
Authors: Tang Vicente , Painho Marco
Published: May 2024

Abstract. The city of Lisbon is home to several traditional neighborhoods that depict the capital’s history but face challenges arising from tourism and new population dynamics. Lacking administrative jurisdictions, their boundaries are perceived and defined differently among residents. By employing a participatory approach, we collect and analyzed residents’ spatial perceptions of three symbolic neighborhoods - Alfama, Mouraria and Bairro Alto. Findings unveil different patterns of disagreement among participants, shedding light on potential mechanisms and factors that might influence their interactions with, and consequently, their perceptions of boundaries. Age, length of residence and residence proximity were the factors that caused the most distinguishable patterns between participant groups. This preliminary study seeks to contribute to both the broader research on neighborhood mapping and the understanding of residents’ geographies that can ultimately guide local policy-making.
UV printed tactile maps of historic parks
Authors: Wabiński Jakub , Araszkiewicz Andrzej , Mościcka Albina , Śmiechowska-Petrovskij Emilia , Kiliszek Damian
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Tactile maps are complex to develop because people with visual impairments (PVI) have perception limitations that require the maps to be highly simplified. However, tactile maps also need to meet other criteria, such as being user-friendly, cost-effective, and fast to produce. Current production methods for tactile maps are not satisfactory. Fortunately, we observe a rapid development of novel production techniques, e.g. additive manufacturing. One of them is UV printing, which has not been applied to tactile graphics yet. Our preliminary research indicates that this technique fulfils all the criteria for making tactile maps. A case study map of a historic park UV printed on a foamed PVC that consists of both: highly-contrasting graphic content and height-differentiated tactile content, has been positively evaluated in a controlled study session by 15 PVI. This technique could enable easy and cheap production of high-quality tactile maps, improving the availability of cartographic materials for PVI worldwide.
Multilevel Geographical Process Models (MGPMs): A Novel Framework for Modeling Individual- and Multi-Level Spatial Process Heterogeneity
Authors: Zhang Sui , Li Ziqi
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Scale, context, and heterogeneity have been central issues in geography. From a quantitative standpoint, accurately identifying the scale and context at which geographical processes operate and capturing their spatial heterogeneity have been challenging tasks. Despite various prominent developments in spatial modeling literature, there is a lack of models for separating individual- and group-level spatial processes that may also exhibit spatial heterogeneity. Understanding this difference can better inform us about how individuals are separated from or influenced by higher-level contexts. In this regard, we propose Multilevel Geographical Process Models (MGPMs) to simultaneously incorporate both individual- and multi-level spatial process heterogeneity. We demonstrate the performance of the model using Monte Carlo simulations and Compare it against Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression and Multilevel models.
Road Network Mapping from Multispectral Satellite Imagery: Leveraging Deep Learning and Spectral Bands
Authors: Hollendonner Samuel , Alinaghi Negar , Giannopoulos Ioannis
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Updating road networks in rapidly changing urban landscapes is an important but difficult task, often challenged by the complexity and errors of manual mapping processes. Traditional methods that primarily use RGB satellite imagery struggle with obstacles in the environment and varying road structures, leading to limitations in global data processing. This paper presents an innovative approach that utilizes deep learning and multispectral satellite imagery to improve road network extraction and mapping. By exploring U-Net models with DenseNet backbones and integrating different spectral bands we apply semantic segmentation and extensive post-processing techniques to create georeferenced road networks. We trained two identical models to evaluate the impact of using images created from specially selected multispectral bands rather than conventional RGB images. Our experiments demonstrate the positive impact of using multispectral bands, by improving the results of the metrics Intersection over Union (IoU) by 6.5%, F1 by 5.4%, and the newly proposed relative graph edit distance (relGED) and topology metrics by 2.2% and 2.6% respectively.
FreeMapRetrieve: Freehand Gestures for Retrieve Operations in Large-Screen Map Environments
Authors: Hurst Jonas , Degbelo Auriol , Kray Christian
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Current research has investigated freehand gestures for Pan and Zoom operations on maps on large screens. Freehand gestures for Retrieve operations, however, have remained largely unexplored. To address this gap, this work introduced two mechanisms for Retrieve on large displays in a research-through-design study: Pointer-to-Feature (i.e. moving a pointer to a geographic feature and then performing a hand gesture to achieve Retrieve) and Feature-to-Pointer (i.e. moving a geographic feature to a stationary pointer at the screen’s centre through panning/ zooming of the map, before performing a hand gesture to achieve Retrieve). The evaluation of a prototype (FreeMapRetrieve) regarding usability and data exploration utility showed that both mechanisms work well. The two techniques are comparable for large polygons but Pointer-to-Feature is slightly more efficient for smaller polygons. Reflections on the design process yield lessons learned that are relevant to designers of gesture-based interaction for maps on large displays.
Validation of aeroelastic dynamic model of active trailing edge flap system tested on a 4.3 MW wind turbine
Authors: Gamberini Andrea , Barlas Thanasis , Gomez Gonzalez Alejandro , Madsen Helge Aagaard
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Active trailing edge flap (ATEF) is a promising technology for controlling wind turbine loads and enhancing energy production. The integration of this technology in the design of commercial wind turbines requires dedicated flap aeroelastic models, as aeroelastic simulations have an essential role in the wind turbine design process. Several aeroelastic codes developed specific flap modules. However, these models were only partially validated, with the risk of incorrect performance prediction that could jeopardize the development of commercial wind turbines equipped with ATEFs. This article describes the validation of the flap aeroelastic models developed by two aeroelastic codes, HAWC2 and BHawC, aiming to reduce the uncertainty of the dynamic response of the two flap aeroelastic models. The validation relies on field data from a 4.3 MW wind turbine equipped with an ATEF on one blade and operating in normal power production. The validation consists of three steps. At first, the actuator models of the flap are tuned based on the video recording of the flap deflections. The aerodynamic flap models are tuned and validated in the second step through the mean lift coefficient transient response. The lift coefficient is obtained with an innovative autonomous add-on measurement system placed on the blade in the middle of the spanwise extension of the flap. Finally, the aeroelastic ATEF models are validated based on the mean blade-to-blade moment transient response obtained from 3 months of field data under varying weather conditions. The validations show a good agreement between the simulated and measured mean transient responses. Furthermore, additional measurements are suggested to improve the flap model tuning. The validation confirms that the studied aeroelastic models provide a reliable and precise estimation of the dynamic impact of the flap actuation on the wind turbine aerodynamics and loading, a fundamental step in the safe implementation of the active flap in the design of commercial wind turbines.

Published: May 2024

Pekerja harian atau daily workers yang bekerja di bidang hospitality umumnya disebut sebagai tenaga kerja casual. Umumnya tenaga kerja casual didominasi oleh pelajar baik siswa SMK maupun mahasiswa diploma. Namun, tidak jarang ditemukan juga lulusan diploma maupun pekerja harian lepas yang sambil melamar pekerjaan. Keberadaan tenaga kerja casual ini sangat diperlukan untuk mengisi kekosongan tenaga kerja pada industri hospitality yang sangat bergantung pada kondisi serta situasi tertentu seperti event-event besar hingga musim liburan. Tenaga kerja casual dipilih karena tidak membebani perusahaan baik dari sisi keuangan maupun sisi manajerial. Umumnya tenaga kerja casual dibayar harian serta tanpa kontrak khusus sehingga sangat efisien digunakan bagi industri hospitality. Akan tetapi pada kenyataannya di lapangan, sering ditemukan kondisi dimana tenaga kerja casual sulit didapat, diantaranya diakibatkan oleh terbatasnya pilihan tenaga kerja karena minimnya jaringan informasi hingga tingkat kepercayaan perusahaan terhadap tenaga kerja casual terutama berkaitan dengan kinerja. Hal ini mengakibatkan daya serap tenaga kerja casual sangatlah rendah, sehingga dalam penelitian ini akan dikembangkan sebuah platform dimana perusahaan serta tenaga kerja casual dapat saling berkolaborasi secara langsung untuk meningkatkan daya serap tenaga kerja casual. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini diantaranya, observasi, wawancara dengan mitra serta survey ke beberapa perusahaan terutama hotel, café dan restoran. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah sebuah aplikasi yang diberi nama CasualHub yang berarti perkumpulan tenaga kerja casual. Melalui aplikasi ini diharapkan dapat menjembatani antara perusahaan dan tenaga kerja berbasis marketplace jasa.
