Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Nam Changhyeong , Sea Jonghan
Published: October 2024

This study explored the perceptions of psychopath among the general public in South Korea by collecting comments through web crawling. To uncover the hidden structures and automatically extract topics, we utilized Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) for topic modeling. A total of 29,126 comments were collected for the final analysis, and through the preprocessing of unstructured natural language data, 7,519 unique words were identified. The results revealed four distinct topics. Topic 1 was named 'Negative perception and demand for capital punishment' as it primarily contained negative words about psychopaths and calls for the death penalty. Topic 2, which was dominated by words related to judges' rulings, was named 'Expectations and concerns about judicial decisions.' Topic 3 was named 'Demands for personal information disclosure,' consisting mainly of words related to the disclosure of personal and facial information. Topic 4 was named 'Words associated with psychopath,' as it included words frequently mentioned in conjunction with psychopath. This research identified several misconceptions about psychopath. It was observed that the general public tends to view psychopath as a mental illness that could justify a reduced sentence, and they perceive psychopath as irredeemable. Thus, this study contributes to enhancing the understanding of psychopath by capturing the social perception and diversity related to it.

Published: October 2024

Because each person has a different face identity, facial recognition relies on the distinctness of individual facial traits. However, the recent Covid-19 pandemic has substantially altered daily living, required the usage of facemasks while walking outside, including for educational activities such as attending lectures at schools and universities. Facemasks' widespread use presents a significant problem to facial recognition systems since they obscure a significant area of the face, limiting the availability of important facial clues. In response to this critical issue, this project aims to create a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture suitable for use in a classroom attendance system. The research process begins with the creation of a large training dataset that includes five different students with four different facial circumstances, including facemask covering. The best CNN design is determined through painstaking testing to enhance accuracy during both the training and validation phases. The empirical findings demonstrated that the finalized CNN architecture has a remarkable validation accuracy of up to 96.2%. The trained system demonstrated outstanding precision in recognizing persons during real-time recognition tests. This experiment highlights the CNN's ability to recognize students with high accuracy even while they are wearing facemasks, indicating its potential in solving the issues provided by the prevailing public health measures.

Published: October 2024

Continued usage of fossil fuel-based electricity generation is one of the main factors for the greenhouse effect. As the greenhouse effect increase, the ambient temperature of the earth will also increase. As the temperature increase, the usage of air conditioning in buildings is also expected to increase. Since that more than 50 % of building energy consumption goes to air conditioning, it is utterly important to look into the methods that can be used to predict the impact of variations in temperature towards building energy consumption. This paper hence tries to perform a conceptual review on the prevalent methods that have been used for prediction of energy consumption, grouped in the category known as the white box, grey box and black box. The comparison of the different methods used in forecasting of energy consumption is discussed in terms of application, input, specific approach, advantage and disadvantage. It is hoped that the work carried out in this paper will be the reference to jump start the research work of others in this field of study.

Ultraviolet Radiation Fields in Star-forming Disk Galaxies: Numerical Simulations with TIGRESS-NCR
Authors: Linzer Nora B. , Kim Jeong-Gyu , Kim Chang-Goo , Ostriker Eve C.
Published: October 2024

With numerical simulations that employ adaptive ray-tracing (ART) for radiative transfer at the same time as evolving gas magnetohydrodynamics, thermodynamics, and photochemistry, it is possible to obtain a high-resolution view of ultraviolet (UV) fields and their effects in realistic models of the multiphase interstellar medium. Here, we analyze results from TIGRESS-NCR simulations, which follow both far-UV (FUV) wavelengths, important for photoelectric heating and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon excitation, and the Lyman continuum (LyC), which photoionizes hydrogen. Considering two models, representing solar neighborhood and inner-galaxy conditions, we characterize the spatial distribution and time variation of UV radiation fields, and quantify their correlations with gas. We compare four approximate models for the FUV to simulated values to evaluate alternatives when full ART is infeasible. By convolving FUV radiation with density, we produce mock maps of dust emission. We introduce a method to calibrate mid-IR observations, for example from JWST, to obtain high-resolution gas surface density maps. We then consider the LyC radiation field, finding most of the gas exposed to this radiation to be in ionization–recombination equilibrium and to have a low neutral fraction. Additionally, we characterize the ionization parameter as a function of the environment. Using a simplified model of the LyC radiation field, we produce synthetic maps of emission measure (EM). We show that the simplified model can be used to extract an estimate of the neutral fraction of the photoionized gas and mean free path of ionizing radiation from observed EM maps in galaxies.
JWST/NIRSpec Observations of Brown Dwarfs in the Orion Nebula Cluster

Published: October 2024

We have used the multiobject mode of the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to obtain low-resolution 1–5 μm spectra of 22 brown dwarf candidates in the Orion Nebula Cluster, which were selected with archival images from the Hubble Space Telescope. One of the targets was previously classified as a Herbig–Haro (HH) object and exhibits strong emission in H i, H2, and the fundamental band of CO, further demonstrating that HH objects can have bright emission in that CO band. The remaining targets have late spectral types (M6.5 to early L) and are young based on gravity-sensitive features, as expected for low-mass members of the cluster. According to theoretical evolutionary models, these objects should have masses that range from the hydrogen burning limit to 0.003–0.007 M
⊙. Two of the NIRSpec targets were identified as proplyds in earlier analysis of Hubble images. They have spectral types of M6.5 and M7.5, making them two of the coolest and least massive known proplyds. Another brown dwarf shows absorption bands at 3–5 μm from ices containing H2O, CO2, OCN−, and CO, indicating that it is either an edge-on class II system or a class I protostar. It is the coolest and least massive object that has detections of these ice features. In addition, it appears to be the first candidate for a protostellar brown dwarf that has spectroscopy confirming its late spectral type.
Generation of 30 s Waves Observed Upstream of the Martian Bow Shock: A Case Study
Authors: Jin Taifeng , Ni Binbin , Fu Song , Cao Xing , Pang Shuyue , Yun Xiaotong , Long Minyi , Du Hengle
Published: October 2024

The foreshock region filled with turbulences is a natural lab for studying interactions between plasma and waves. The underlying processes are vital for dissipating the energy carried by the solar wind into the Martian environment. In this study, we analyze an ultralow-frequency wave observed on 2015 August 14 by Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution upstream of the Martian bow shock. The wave properties match with those of 30 s waves; the dispersion calculation shows that the upstream plasma was capable of generating the observed waves. The analysis of the ion behaviors implies the wave generated without a field-aligned beam, while the growth rate of waves seems to be modulated by the interplanetary magnetic field conditions. These results indicate the unique role of the Martian foreshock in the interaction between the solar wind and the planet.
Multifluid Theory of Electrostatic Ion Cyclotron Waves in Partially Ionized Plasmas
Authors: Huang Wenlong , Liu Yu , Yu Pengcheng , Lei Jiuhou
Published: October 2024

Partially ionized plasmas universally exist in various astrophysical environments, such as the solar atmosphere and the E region of the ionosphere. In these contexts, the existence and propagation of waves in plasmas could be significantly influenced by effects of weakly ionized plasma (e.g., ion–neutral collisions). In this work, we investigate electrostatic ion cyclotron (EIC) waves in partially ionized plasmas based on the multifluid model with adiabatic electrons. Two distinct branches of EIC waves coexist in partially ionized plasmas: one branch is the conventional EIC waves; the other branch propagates around the “effective ion cyclotron frequency” which originates from self-consistent ion–neutral collisions. Furthermore, theoretical predictions in the new branch of EIC waves are qualitatively consistent with laboratory observations. In addition, a comparison between our theory and the previous work is also performed. This work can aid in understanding the acceleration and transverse heating of ions in partially ionized astrophysical plasmas where the ion–neutral collisions are frequent.
Characteristics and Source Regions of Slow Alfvénic Solar Wind Observed by Parker Solar Probe
Authors: Ervin Tamar , Jaffarove Kai , Badman Samuel T. , Huang Jia , Rivera Yeimy J. , Bale Stuart D.
Published: October 2024

Using a classification scheme for solar-wind type based on the heliocentric distance of the observation, we look at near-perihelion observations from Parker Solar Probe Encounters 4 to 14 to study the sources of the slow Alfvénic solar wind (SASW). Through Potential Field Source Surface (PFSS) modeling and ballistic mapping, we connect streams to their solar source and find that a primary population of SASW comes from low magnetic field strength regions (low-B
0), likely small coronal holes (CHs) and their overexpanded boundaries, while a second population of high field strength (high-B
0) seems to emerge from non-CH structures potentially through interchange reconnection with nearby open field lines. This low-B
0 SASW shows larger expansion than the fast solar wind (FSW) but similar mass flux, potentially indicating additional heating below the critical point, and emergence from a cooler structure, which could lead to slower wind emerging from CH-like structures. We show that this low-B
0 SASW shows stronger preferential acceleration of alpha particles (similar to the FSW) than the high-B
0 SASW, and that this is a velocity-dependent phenomenon as found in previous studies. To have additional confidence in our mapping results, we quantify the error on both the PFSS model and ballistic mapping and discuss how additional multipoint observations of plasma parameters and composition would allow us to better constrain our models and connect the solar wind to its source.
The performance of two urban flood regulation models using different input data
Authors: Stoycheva Vanya , Nedkov Stoyan
Published: October 2024

Increasing climate change has led to an increase in urban flood events. Events with a return period of twenty years become events with a period of two to three years. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the performance of flood regulation models using different input data and compare their performance for flood regulation supply (FRS) assessment. The assessment of the ecosystem services of urban FRS was performed using two models: Urban Flood Risk Mitigation (UFRM) by Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) and IMECOGIP Waterflow Regulation (Retention Model) (WRRM). They rely on relatively accessible open-source data, require a short time to model each scenario and provide opportunities to interpret results in different spatial and measurement units. We performed several improvements to the input data, including updating the national ecosystem-type assessment for the case study area by connecting it with the Urban Atlas typology and proposing an approach for soil data refinement. The outputs of the two models show significant differences in FRS values for each land-use/land-cover (LULC) class. The UFRM assesses different impervious urban classes with different values, varying from very low to medium. In contrast, the WRRM assesses the FRS in densely sealed areas with one fixed value for low supply (where nearly all rainfall is transformed into runoff).

From Solitary Quests to New Folklore. Reading Juhani Karila’s Summer Fishing in Lapland through Cultural Emotions
Authors: Nykänen Elise
Published: October 2024

Mon article étudie la solitude et le sisu, et leur relation avec les normes culturellement construites du genre et le non-humain dans le roman éco-philosophique Pienen hauen pyydystys (2019 ; Summer Fishing in Lapland, 2023, La pêche au petit brochet, 2021) de Juhani Karila. Mon objectif est de démontrer qu’une approche culturellement sensible des émotions littéraires et des humeurs incarnées peut servir d’outil méthodologique pour l’analyse d’émotions incarnées et spatialement situées, tant dans leur description que dans l’expérience du lecteur. J’accorde une attention particulière à l’utilisation humoristique des conventions associées au genre du Nordic Noir et du « Finnish weird » dans le roman de Karila. Je soutiens qu’en combinant l’atmosphère sombre du Nordic Noir avec le monde panthéiste du folklore finno-ougrien, lequel est présenté de façon humoristique, ainsi que la mythologie de la Laponie, Karila invite ses lecteurs à ressentir et à s’émerveiller devant les plus petites créatures de la nature. L’effet d’émerveillement est obtenu, d’abord, en établissant des comparaisons entre animaux humains et non humains, puis en présentant côte-à-côte des animaux et des forêts en voie de disparition et des créatures imaginaires fantastiques. Le roman montre de manière corporelle les réserves limitées d’énergie ou de sisu (c’est-à-dire « instinct » ou « courage ») dans la chair et le sang d’individus qui tentent d’apprivoiser et de contrôler la nature au lieu de coopérer avec elle.

Published: October 2024

Nanomaterials are widely used across various industries. In addition, nanomaterial emissions are generated from numerous devices and equipment, especially motor vehicles. Despite their benefits, the rapid increase and spread of anthropogenic nanomaterials have raised concerns about nanotoxicity. Recent research indicates that nanomaterials can enter the human body through various pathways and may cause adverse effects, particularly on the central nervous system. The earthquakes in southeastern Turkey on February 6, 2023, have highlighted the 'Lowlands to Mountains' settlement model, which involves relocating communities from loose alluvial soils to stable bedrock areas. This model also presents a promising approach to mitigating the risks associated with atmospheric nanomaterials. By moving urban areas from lowlands to higher altitudes, such as mountains, hills, or slopes—where nanoparticle concentrations may be lower—the health impacts of nanomaterials might be reduced.

Determinants of Teachers' Intentions to Integrate Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Into Physical Education and Health Curricula
Authors: Acut Dharel P. , Lobo Joseph T. , Garcia Manuel B.
Published: October 2024

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is essential for promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship among students. However, the intent of Filipino teachers to incorporate ESD principles into Physical Education and Health remains underexplored. This study examines the relationships between attitudes towards ESD, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, behavioral intentions, self-reported behavior, subjective task value, ESD knowledge, and ESD integration beliefs among 363 educators. Utilizing PLS-SEM, the study finds perceived behavioral control as the strongest predictor of both behavioral intentions and self-reported behaviors, underscoring its role in enabling educators to implement ESD practices. ESD knowledge significantly influences perceived behavioral control, suggesting that enhancing knowledge could boost educators' confidence in ESD integration. Additionally, ESD integration beliefs impact attitudes and behavioral intentions. These findings offer insights for targeted interventions to support ESD integration within PE and Health curricula.
