FROM AN INSIDE-IN TOWARDS AN OUTSIDE-OUT URBAN DIGITAL TWIN: BUSINESS MODELS AND IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES
Authors: D’Hauwers R. , Walravens N. , Ballon P.
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Urban Digital Twins are a virtual representation of a city environment with bi-directional communication links. They require collaborations between different actors in the urban ecosystems in order to provide a complete picture of the situation in the city. In order to define the complex relationships between the different actors in the Urban Digital Twin ecosystem, the business model literature helps to answer questions on how value can be created, and how the value network can be controlled. In this paper, we identified four different types of business models for Urban Digital Twins based on whether they are used by the government or the ecosystem, and whether the government or the ecosystem controls the value network of the Urban Digital Twin. Interviews were held in five different existing Urban Digital Twins to identify which challenges the different existing digital twins have when implementing the Urban Digital Twins. The outcomes of the business model scenarios support the design of Urban Digital Twins 1) by identifying which decisions need to be made by cities when developing Urban Digital Twins and 2) by proposing cloud requirements for technology providers supporting cities, in the development of Urban Digital Twins.

Abstract. This paper presents the design and the results of a novel approach to predict air pollutants in urban environments. The objective is to create an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system to support planning actors in taking effective and adequate short-term measures against unfavourable air quality situations. In general, air quality in European cities has improved over the past decades. Nevertheless, reductions of the air pollutants particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ground-level ozone (O3), in particular, are essential to ensure the quality of life and a healthy life in cities. To forecast these air pollutants for the next 48 hours, a sequence-to-sequence encoder-decoder model with a recurrent neural network (RNN) was implemented. The model was trained with historic in situ air pollutant measurements, traffic and meteorological data. An evaluation of the prediction results against historical data shows high accordance with in situ measurements and implicate the system’s applicability and its great potential for high quality forecasts of air pollutants in urban environments by including real time weather forecast data.

Amongst the results gathered from an online questionnaire distributed to Barcelona’s citizens, it was interpreted and analyzed to reach the conclusion where COVID-19 is acting as an accelerator for the implementation of more smart city initiatives and therefore, achieve to a certain extent, smart city goals in Barcelona.
A new vertically integrated, MOno-Layer Higher-Order ice flow model (MOLHO)
Authors: dos Santos Thiago Dias , Morlighem Mathieu , Brinkerhoff Douglas
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Numerical simulations of ice sheets rely on the momentum balance to determine how ice velocities change as the geometry of the system evolves. Ice is generally assumed to follow a Stokes flow with a nonlinear viscosity. Several approximations have been proposed in order to lower the computational cost of a full-Stokes stress balance. A popular option is the Blatter-Pattyn or Higher-Order model (HO), which consists of a three-dimensional set of equations that solves the horizontal velocities only. However, it still remains computationally expensive for long transient simulations. Here we present a depth-integrated formulation of the HO model, which can be solved on a two-dimensional mesh in the horizontal plane. We employ a specific polynomial function to describe the vertical variation of the velocity, which allows us to integrate the vertical dimension using a semi-analytic integration. We assess the performance of this MOno-Layer Higher-Order model (MOLHO) to compute ice velocities and simulate grounding line dynamics on standard benchmarks (ISMIP-HOM and MISMIP3D). We compare MOLHO results to the ones obtained with the original three-dimensional HO model. We also compare the time performance of both models in time-dependent runs. Our results show that the ice velocities and grounding line positions obtained with MOLHO are in very good agreement with the ones from HO. In terms of computing time, MOLHO requires less than 10 % of the computational time of a typical HO model, for the same simulations. These results suggest that the MOno-Layer Higher-Order formulation provides improved computational time performance and a comparable accuracy compared to the HO formulation, which opens the door to Higher-Order paleo simulations.

COAL MINING REGIONS AS TECHNOGENICALLY LOADED AREAS IN UKRAINE
Authors: VERGELSKA Nataliia , LIVENTSEVA Hanna
Published: September 2021

The сoal mining in Ukraine has stipulated a significant and multifaceted man-made burden onto the environment. The physical liquidation of mine workings leads to the development of an interconnected complex of new negative phenomena and processes to impact the environment, which is accompanied by a change in its environmental parameters:  

geochemical ones: the mobility of chemical compounds and elements increase in the zones of fl ooding and therefore the migration of pollutants from surface waters and water intakes is signifi cantly accelerated;
hydrogeological ones: during coal mining, groundwater approaches the Earth’s surface, in the zone of unsaturated filtration, the of rocks and soils stability are reduced;
geotechnical ones: due to the oversaturation of wet large volumes of rocks their strength decreases, the subsidence and shears are formed, deformations of the Earth’s surface occur.

 The landscape characteristics have changed significantly, reflecting the nature of xenogenetic geological processes and hydrological regime manifestations that is why the Earth’s surface has also changed due to the direct man-made burden due to public and industrial construction, railways, highways, waste heaps and ponds that accumulate water, sludge and other waterworks, buildings of agricultural production to form a manmade relief.
NEW TECHNOLOGIES OF SEISMIC EXPLORATION IN UKRAINE
Authors: GAFYCH Ivan , SOLODKYI Ievgenii , IARESHCHENKO Sergii , RENKAS Yurii
Published: September 2021

Development of technologies, growth of trends of reducing impact on environment and challenging tasks, which oil and gas producers face, make introduction of new technologies in seismic exploration field unavoidable. As a key tool of prospecting, exploration and reconnaissance of hydrocarbons, seismic exploration is usually restricted by terrain conditions. Urban, wooded and marshy lands, protected areas, river valleys, mountain areas often make seismic exploration impossible or signifi cantly impact its quality and efficiency.  
One of the modern trends enabling resolution of the issues related to impact on environment is to switch to cable-free registration systems (wireless seismic), so called low impact seismic. Due to the use of cable-free equipment, this new technology makes it possible to reduce impact on environment during field works, as equipment is delivered to the place of installation with no special heavy machinery involved. 
On the other hand, cable-free systems of seismic acquisition allow to resolve complex tasks of exploration and appraisal studies. Firstly, carry out exploration of hard-to-reach territories, including protected environmental areas, which until now remain unexplored or slightly explored. Managing seismic cables in such conditions is very complicated or impossible. Cable-free technologies allow easily resolving such issues due to both minimum impact on environment and simple and quick placement of receivers. Flexibility and easy scaling of wireless seismic adds to its advantages versus conventional survey. Kilometres of wires are not needed, which allows to easily increase the number of receiver channels and conduct high-density full azimuth seismic survey with single seismic receivers at deep structures, thus, significantly increasing quality of the data received. 
The pilot project successfully completed at Khoroshivska area by joint efforts of DTEK Oil&Gas LLC and LLC Denimex Geo LLC confi rms in full advantages of wireless solutions revealing new opportunities for the use of seismic exploration at areas previously hard to reach and allowing implementation of high density acquisition projects.

During 2017–2018 not far from Sewafeh town, Kono province (Republic of Sierra Leone), we identified a number of previously unknown manifestations of kimberlite magmatism in the form of a system of individual veins localized at the contact of the migmatite basement and Archean ultrabasic massifs, or in the immediate vicinity of ultramafic massifs, which is part of the rocks of the greenstone belt. The optimal sequence of conducting remote sensing studies, such as interpretation of space images of various resolution, neotectonic and geomorphological analysis, SRTM modeling, and then field geological and geophysical research have facilitated this discovery. According to drilling data, kimberlites in different spots of their occurrence (Punduru 1 area) are represented by subvolcanic phlogopite-olivine (with perovskite), and olivine varieties, as well as veins of numerous intensely metasomatic altered kimberlite breccias (Yomby area). Veins of subvolcanic kimberlites are concentrated in the contact part with ultramafic massifs of magmatic and lava (metakomatiite xenoliths) genesis. Kimberlites are the youngest vein formations in the area, crossing even vein pegmatites, the generation of which was provoked by the intrusion of ultramafic rocks in the basement migmatites (Cederholm effect). Kimberlites are present in the section of wells in the form of separate veins of complex morphology and thickness from a few centimeters to 45 cm. In well P1-2 at a depth of 92 m, these are represented by micro porphyry kimberlites of the basaltoid type with microlithic groundmass, altered by secondary metasomatic processes. Porphyry inclusions are represented by pseudomorphs of carbonate-serpentine composition after olivine and rare phlogopite flakes. Olivine crystals of the second-generation act as micro porphyry inclusions. The rock matrix is carbonate. Carbonate is represented by finely crystalline calcite, or replaced by dolomite. In addition to olivine, the groundmass contains relics or pseudomorphs after phlogopite, as well as magnetite, perovskite (it can be replaced by magnetite), secondary apatite. The kimberlites of the Bambawo area are represented by sub-volcanic porphyry basaltoid kimberlites, autolithic kimberlites and kimberlite xenotuff breccias.

МEMORIES ON THE FIELD COURSE IN GEOLOGICAL MAPPING
Authors: KROCHAK Maryna
Published: September 2021

This article is a memory of the field course in geological mapping. It was a part of studying process of the author while her education at the Geology & Geophysics Department, Novosibirsk University. The practice took place in the 80s of the last century in the steppe region of the Khakassia Autonomous Region (Krasnoyarsk Territory, Russia) at the university’s geological training camp. The article features a technique of creating a geological map of the site. Geological strata were distinguished by lithological features. However, the instructors did not indicate the real geological age of the deposits to the students because it was believed that such information is unnecessary for them. The main task of students was to master the methods of geological mapping of an unknown territory. Students covered the site with routes along the cross of the strike of sediments. Students had to recognize these sediments, determine the area of their distribution, divide them into stratigraphic horizons and give them their own names. Then students marked the boundaries of the rock layers at outcrops and the elements of their occurrence on the topographic base. This original teaching method gave a positive result. Students have developed a geological map of the training site where certain stratigraphic horizons were shown with real bedding elements. This approach contributed to the independent creative work of students. Students felt themselves like pioneer geologists who came to this territory for the first time, conducted geological mapping and gave names to geological strata that are exposed. In addition, this method excluded the possibility of cheating and copying the existing real geological map.
  The article presents memories of the young nineteen-year-old student’s perception of the features of field geology, expeditionary life and collective work. With a certain degree of self-irony the author brings his thoughts, feelings and impressions of nature.
  The experience gained during this field practice has become the basis of the author’s professional skills and now helps us in educational process.

La “sucesión episcopal” en la Iglesia de Esmirna
Authors: Saavedra Mauricio
Published: September 2021

Este artículo identifica a los más significativos líderes de la comunidad cristiana de Esmirna desde su fundación hasta el concilio de Nicea. La dificultad de este trabajo surge de la relativa escasez de documentación y de la necesaria y cuidadosa valoración de las fuentes. Esmirna fue fundada bajo la predicación paulina entre los años 53 y 56. Se vio enriquecida con la migración de cristianos provenientes de Jerusalén en el año 70, y hacia el año 95 emergió la institución del episcopado quizá presente en la figura del “ángel de la iglesia de Esmirna” de Ap. 2, 8. En el siglo segundo con la figura de Policarpo la institución del episcopado adquiere mayor consolidación, sobre todo después del paso de Ignacio por esa comunidad. Papinio, Alce, Marción,Evaristo y sobretodo Ireneo aparecen entre los más importantes discípulos de Policarpo. Al final del siglo segundo la institución del episcopado se diluye en nuestras fuentes y creemos que se ve seriamente afectada por la herejía y el cisma de Noeto. En el siglo tercero encontramos la triste figura del obispo apóstata Euctemón y con gran contraste, la muerte del mártir Pionio que infunde nuevas energías a las que se debe gran parte de la compilación de la historia de la comunidad. Finalmente, en la lista del concilio de Nicea aparece claramente el nombre de Eutiques como representante de esta Iglesia.
La importancia (y necesidad) de la retractación en bioética teológica
Authors: Noriega Fernández Roberto
Published: September 2021

La retractación es una categoría importante para las ciencias que, en la actualidad, reflexionan sobre la vida, entre ellas la bioética visitada desde la teología, sobre todo la de inspiración agustiniana. Tras presentar los elementos teóricos que identifican y fundamentan la necesidad de retractarse, se analizan algunos casos paradigmáticos en los ha podido haber retractación por parte de la teología y el magisterio a lo largo de la historia. Se concluye señalando la importancia y la exigencia de seguir profundizando la cuestión y desarrollando medios que favorezcan esta actitud que señala la honestidad ética y el compromiso con la verdad. Se trata de reflexionar “a la luz del Evangelio y de la experiencia humana” en campos científicos cuyos límites son inestables, provocado por la evolución y el progreso constante de los saberes y en circunstancias muy complejas y urgentes.
La explicación de los fenómenos paranormales en las filosofías de Arthur Schopenhauer y Eduard von Hartmann: Antecedentes, desarrollo y repercusiones
Authors: Pérez Cornejo Manuel
Published: September 2021

Los denominados “fenómenos paranormales”, asociados a la hipotética existencia de un “mundo de espíritus”, atrajeron el interés de importantes filósofos a lo largo del siglo XIX, coincidiendo con el auge del movimiento espiritista. El presente artículo, partiendo de la crítica kantiana a las experiencias visionarias de E. Swedenborg, analiza las dos principales explicaciones de estos fenómenos que se dieron en la filosofía decimonónica: la primera, planteada por A. Schopenhauer y E. von Hartmann, ponía lo paranormal en relación con la “cosa en sí” de Kant, entendida como Voluntad irracional inconsciente, capaz de conectar a los individuos, al margen de las formas racionales marcadas por el principio de razón suficiente; la segunda, defendida por los partidarios del espiritismo (Aksakov, Von Hellenbach y Du Prel), interpretó el “reino de los espíritus” tomando como base el sujeto trascendental kantiano. Ambas corrientes convergen, a comienzos del siglo XX, en el análisis de los fenómenos ocultos efectuado por C. G. Jung.

La forma de convocar a los niños a la catequesis en el siglo XVI consistió con frecuencia en una canción que en diferentes estrofas eran repetidas mientras caminaban hacia la iglesia. La canción comienza con las palabras “Amados hermanos, y se repitió, con variaciones a medida que se imprimieron las enseñanzas en cartillas de la doctrina cristiana y en catecismos. Aquí se pueden conocer los lugares en que se publicó esa canción, que entonces era conocida por todos, aunque ahora se haya perdido su recuerdo”.

Published: September 2021

Este artículo busca identificar las más significativas evidencias textuales para analizar la tentativa de uno o más miembros de la Iglesia de Esmirna de compilar una serie de escritos en torno a la figura de Policarpo, su obispo y mártir. La Iglesia de Esmirna emprendió un trabajo similar con las cartas de Ignacio, las cuales en poco tiempo se copiaron, organizaron y enviaron a la Iglesia de Filipos. Además, vemos claramente desde la composición del Martirio de Policarpo, la veneración que la comunidad tenía por su obispo. Esta misma veneración aparece robustecida con el tiempo, cien años después de los hechos del martirio. Así pues, tanto las evidencias textuales, como la historia del scriptorium de Esmirna y la devoción por Policarpo, hacen factible una empresa editorial en torno a los escritos de la figura del obispo y mártir en el siglo II.
Ecclesiam suam (1964-2014)
Authors: Díez Barroso Santiago
Published: September 2021

En la Primera Parte de este artículo nos hemos ocupado de cómo los temas de Ecclesiam suam afloraron desde el inicio de la vida del Papa Montini, siendo el resultado de su contemplación y de sus reflexiones, para constituir las líneas de fuerza de su ministerio presbiteral y episcopal. En la Segunda Parte hemos abordado cómo esta carta encíclica inspira la praxis pastoral del inicio de su pontificado. Nos hemos centrado en ella pero además en sus discursos periconciliares y en el uso que hacen de ella los propios textos del Concilio Vaticano II. En la Tercera Parte, centrará nuestra atención la comprobación de cómo persiste la presencia de Ecclesiam suam en la praxis pastoral de Pablo VI aquende el Concilio en temas como la reforma. Ahora, en la Cuarta Parte abordaremos temas como la paz, la justicia, la defensa de la vida, el ecumenismo, la evangelización, el sacerdocio, el diaconado permanente.
Viaje apostólico a Cuba y a Estados Unidos de América
Authors: Somavilla Rodríguez Enrique
Published: September 2021

El décimo viaje apostólico del papa Francisco tenía como itinerario la visita a la República Cubana, los Estados Unidos de América y la visita a la sede de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas, con motivo de su participación en el VIII Encuentro Mundial de las Familias, en Filadelfia, del 18 al 28 de septiembre de 2015. Un viaje muy esperado tras el giro en la políticanorteamericana respecto a Cuba y el discutido embargo, consecuencia de la crisis de los misiles y último rescoldo de la guerra fría en octubre de 1962. Éxito sin precedentes de la estrategia de la Santa Sede. Un itinerario difícil y complicado ante la apuesta de aquella por ayudar a normalizar las relaciones diplomáticas entre ambos países. Además de la enérgica oposición de grupos conservadores a dicho viaje papal. El futuro deparará los frutos obtenidos que pueden otearse en el horizonte.
La comprensión de Jesús en el documento Q.
Authors: Colinas Blanco José
Published: September 2021

El Documento Q, una de las fuentes fundamentales para la composición de los evangelios de Mateo y Lucas, pese a estar constituido en su mayor parte por material discursivo, tiene una clara orientación narrativa. La expresión “el que ha de venir” (ὀ ἑρχόμενος) es nuclear para la conformación de una trama que da unidad a toda la composición. Es, además, capital para la caracterización de Jesús, protagonista indiscutible de la obra, presentándose como un título cristológico. El artículo estudia los orígenes de esta expresión, su disposición en el Documento Q, su función literaria y su significación teológica.
El bautismo de Felipe, ¿un bautismo deficitario? (Hch 8,5-24)
Authors: Álvarez Cineira David
Published: September 2021

En el relato de la actividad bautista de Felipe en Samaría (Hch 8,4-25) sorprende que no esté explícitamente vinculada a la concesión del Espíritu, a pesar de que se realiza en el nombre del Señor Jesús y como tal constituye un bautismo cristiano “legítimo”. Probablemente el texto refleje una de las diferentes praxis bautismales existentes en el cristianismo de los orígenes y subyazcan aquí tradiciones bautismales propias de grupos helenistas cristianos, que Lucas recogió e integró en su relato.
La iniciación en los inicios del cristianismo (ss. I-II)
Authors: Sala González Ramón
Published: September 2021

Desde el principio la incorporación a las comunidades cristianas de nuevos miembros se realizaba mediante un camino iniciático. A pesar del diverso origen de los grupos y la pluralidad de contextos culturales, se mantendrán como elementos centrales un rito bautismal y la posterior agregación plena a la comunidad eclesial por la participación en el banquete eucarístico. El presente trabajo trata de aproximarse a las características rituales de ese proceso de iniciación en su desarrollo durante los dos primeros siglos. Las fuentes disponibles, no permiten una reconstrucción pormenorizada del mismo en ese período, pero su estudio descubre los factores que posibilitarán la génesis de una praxis organizada a partir del s. III. Sirvanestas páginas como memoria agradecida al prof. Senén Vidal.
Los Tratados 26–27 sobre el evangelio de San Juan
Authors: Luis Vizcaíno Pío de
Published: September 2021

Los tratados 26-27 de san Agustín sobre el evangelio de san Juan son textos significativos para entender su teología eucarística. Es lo lógico si se tiene en cuenta que en ellos expone buena parte del discurso juánico sobre el pan de vida. Pero mientras según unos autores el teólogo de Hipona sostiene en ellos la presencia real de Jesucristo en la Eucaristía, según otros no sostiene más que una presencia simbólica. Mediante un análisis detenido del texto, el presente estudio muestra que solo cabe hablar de una presencia real que, sin embargo, integra en sí los elementos de la presencia simbólica
Principios de Lutero
Authors: Marcos Martínez Tomás
Published: September 2021

La figura de Martín Lutero condensa un antes y un después en la evolución del cristianismo. De humilde monje agustino a criterio de fe auténtica, al tiempo héroe y villano, santo y heresiarca. El terremoto que desencadenó ha ido más allá de su propia persona, señal de que llevaba tiempo larvándose. Algunos de sus postulados son imperecederos: salvación donada, fe confiada, Escritura sola. Otros, por el contrario, resultan letales: antihumanismo, predestinación, absolutismo. La dialéctica que le envuelve es nuestra misma condición.
Para una hermenéutica vital de la Palabra: Viva lectio est vita bonorum
Authors: Díez Barroso Santiago
Published: September 2021

He elegido las coordenadas, que ofrece lo que he llamado “una hermenéutica vital”, como las más adecuadas, para glosar el recuerdo del compañero-profesor D. Senén Vidal García (1941-2016). En efecto, como pocos, interpretó vital y teóricamente, siempre con maestría cercana y honda, el mensaje neotestamentario. Al alimón he querido honrar la memoria de otros entrañables maestros míos, buenos a carta cabal, que se situaron en una longitud de onda similar y que, también, vivieron lo que enseñaron, dejando en mí tan honda huella: M. Legido, J. Velicia, P. Ricoeur, J. Ladrière, A. Gesché, A. Vergote.
La misa y la pasión
Authors: Resines Llorente Luis
Published: September 2021

Un catecismo del siglo XVIII muestra un singular paralelismo entre los ritos de la misa y la pasión de Jesús, y proporciona a cada gesto o rito una significación alegórica, completamente arbitraria. A finales del XIX se mantuvo e incluso se amplió con la idea de reproducir cada uno de los detalles, reales o imaginarios, de la pasión. Es una forma exagerada de reforzar el aspecto de sacrificio, según la doctrina de Trento.
“Amar, pensar, escribir” o transcender.
Authors: Cano Peláez Jesús
Published: September 2021

Se despliega un ejercicio interpretativo para presentar al novel poeta Isidro Andrés Casado, inscribiéndole en las tradiciones greco-latina, cristiano-agustiniana e hispano-leonesa por lo que se refiere a la concepción del amor y de la palabra. Éstas, a su vez, se dan cita y dialogan con el verbo y espíritu de un poeta que está abierto a estéticas modernas, a razones y sentires contemporáneos. Consta de cuatro partes: 1. reseña biográfica del poeta; 2. aproximación a su concepción estético-existencial del amor; 3. cata de una poética que explique la forma del texto y 4. esbozo de una lista de temas amorosos para dialogar con seis grandes poetas.
Representación de San Pablo en el arte vallisoletano
Authors: García Martín Enrique
Published: September 2021

En comparación con el resto de los apóstoles, la figura de San Pablo tiene muy pocas representaciones a lo largo de la Historia del Arte. Esto se manifiesta en la ciudad de Valladolid donde su manifestación se da en contables veces y en una calidad regular. A pesar de ello, en sus escasas apariciones, figuran nombres de artistas como Francisco del Rincón, Juan de Ávila o Antonio Villabrille, nombres unidos a la escultura barroca tan importante en la ciudad.
Spatial-temporal evolution of landscape degradation on the Guamá River Basin, Brazil
Authors: Silva Tatiane Camila Martins , Vieira Ima Célia Guimarães , Thalês Marcelo Cordeiro
Published: September 2021

The goal of this study was to determine the anthropization evolution of the Guamá river basin in the years 2000, 2008 and 2018 by means of the Anthropic Transformation Index. Land use and cover maps were obtained from two databases, Project Mapbiomas (Brazilian Annual Land Use and Land Cover Mapping Project) and PRODES (Project for the Satellite Monitoring of the Brazilian Amazon Forest). The main classes defined in the mapping process are: forest, natural non-forest vegetation, agriculture and livestock farming, secondary vegetation, urban infrastructure, water and others. Secondary vegetation was considered as the area where the forest classes of Mapbiomas intersects with the deforested areas of PRODES, as determined by the map algebra operator. The expansion of agriculture and livestock farming achieved an increase of about 10%, while the forest was reduced in almost 10%. The Guamá river basin obtained an Anthropic Transformation Index of 4.44 in 2000, 5.04 in 2008 and 5.09 in 2018, going from a regular to a degraded state in 18 years. The occupation process caused major alterations in the natural components of the landscape over the course of 18 years, notably in the amount of forest. Protection of 35% of the remnant primary forest in the Guamá river basin is vital for the conservation of water resources vulnerable to changes in land use.
ANALYZING MULTIPLE BUBBLES IN THE USDKZT EXCHANGE RATE USING THE GSADF TEST
Authors:   Dokuz Eylul University, 35210 Izmir, Turkey, Ural Mert ,   e-mail: mert.ural@deu.edu.tr
Published: September 2021

Since most of the financial crisis caused by the bursting bubble of financial assets, the investigation of bubble behaviors and the early detection for the prevention of adverse economic consequences is important. This paper investigates whether multiple price bubbles exist in USDKZT exchange rate on the basis of a recursive right tailed Generalized Supremum Augmented Dickey Fuller Test (GSADF) developed by Phillips, Shi and Yu (2015), as well as to determine date stamps of the price bubbles. In this regard, we performed GSADF test by using weekly closing prices of the nominal exchange rate for the period between 23.08.2015 to 04.04.2021. In line with the empirical findings obtained, two explosive bubbles are detected in 2018 and 2020 when USDKZT exchange rate deviates from fundamental value. Our ﬁndings suggest that due to the possibility of bubble repetition, GSADF has been verified to be a better test for detecting bubbles.
Energy Optimization in a Multihop Sensor Network for a WBAN Application

Movement and posture change of human body plays a crucial role in energy consumption while data transmission between strategically deployed nodes in wireless body area networks (WBANs). The majority of energy is used in transmission rather than processing of the data. Nodes within body are there for long time and need to be energy efficient so that the network lifetime is increased. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient data transmission for multi-hop network that uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) for optimizing the parameters on which energy consumption relies. An energy efficient data transmission and reception takes place by altering the parameters like node to node distance and packet size of data. The obtained results show a significant reduction of energy consumed by reducing the packet size and keeping the node-to-sink distance a constant value. The total energy consumed per hop per bit length of data packet Emh/L shows 75% optimization. The energy consumed in data transmission per bit length of data E tx /L and the energy consumed for data received per bit length of data packet E rx /L is optimized by approximately 70% and 50% respectively for hope count 2 to 5.
