A paradigm of extreme rainfall pluvial floods in complex urban areas: the flood event of 15 July 2020 in Palermo (Italy)
Authors: Francipane Antonio , Pumo Dario , Sinagra Marco , La Loggia Goffredo , Noto Leonardo Valerio
Published: August 2021

Abstract. In the last few years, some regions of the Mediterranean area have witnessed a progressive increase in extreme events, such as urban and flash floods, as a response to the increasingly frequent and severe extreme rainfall events, which are often exacerbated by the ever-growing urbanization. In such a context, the urban drainage systems may not be sufficient to convey the rainwater, thus increasing the risk deriving from the occurrence of such events. This study focuses on a particularly intense urban flood that occurred in
Palermo (Italy) on 15 July 2020; it represents a typical pluvial flood due
to extreme rainfall on a complex urban area that many cities have
experienced in recent years, especially in the Mediterranean region. A
conceptual hydrological model and a 2D hydraulic model, particularly
suitable for simulations in a very complex urban context, have been used to
simulate the event. Results have been qualitatively validated by means of
crowdsourced information and satellite images. The experience of Palermo, which has highlighted the urgent need for a shift in the way stormwater in urban settlements is managed, can be assumed to be a paradigm for modeling pluvial floods in complex urban areas under extreme rainfall conditions. Although the approaches and the related policies cannot be identical for all cities, the modeling framework used here to assess the impacts of the event under study and some conclusive remarks could be easily transferred to other, different urban contexts.

Published: August 2021

Abstract. Dust particle studies in ice cores from the tropical Andes provide important information about climate dynamics. We investigated dust concentrations from a 22.7 m ice-core recovered from the Quelccaya Ice Cap (QIC) in 2018, representing 12 years of snow accumulation. The dust seasonality signal was still preserved with some homogenization of the record due to surface melting and percolation. Using a microparticle counter, we measured the dust concentration from 2–60 µm and divided the annual dust concentration into three distinct groups: fine particle percentage (FPP, 2–10 µm), coarse particle percentage (CPP, 10–20 μm) and giant particle percentage (GPP, 20–60 μm). Increased dust was associated with the warm stage of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation index (PDO) from 2014–2017 with significant increases in FPP and a relative decrease in GPP. There was a positive correlation between PDO and FPP (r = 0.68, p-value < 0.02). CPP and GPP were dominant during the PDO cold phase (2005–2013) and were more strongly associated with the Tropical Northern Atlantic index (TNA), which was positive from 2005–2017. The relation between TNA and CPP was r = 0.60 (p-value < 0.05) and that with GPP was r = 0.59 (p-value < 0.05). We also revealed a potential link between QIC dust and Madeira River sediments and runoff. Sediment concentration decreases at Porto Velho station were correlated with %GPP (r = 0.67, p < 0.02) from 2005–2017. This relationship contributes to a better understanding of the effects of PDO oscillations on both parameters. The %GPP and sediment decreases were potentially linked with the PDO phase change from negative to positive. We also noted a strong negative correlation between FPP and runoff (r = −0.80, p < 0.002) from 2005–2016, which was understandable due to the relationship of FPP to wetter conditions while runoff decreases were associated with increasing dryness in the southern part of the Madeira Basin. Assessing dust record variability by distinct size groups can help to improve our knowledge of how the Pacific and Atlantic oceans influence atmospheric oscillations in the QIC. In addition, the association of dust variability with dynamic changes in sediments and runoff in the Madeira River system demonstrates the potential for future investigation of linkages between QIC dust and Amazon basin rivers.
A computationally efficient engineering aerodynamic model for swept wind turbine blades
Authors: Li Ang , Pirrung Georg Raimund , Gaunaa Mac , Madsen Helge Aagaard , Horcas Sergio González
Published: August 2021

Abstract. In this work, a computationally efficient engineering model for the aerodynamics of swept wind turbine blades is proposed for the extended blade element momentum (BEM) formulation. The model is modified based on a coupled near- and far-wake model, in which the near-wake is assumed to be the first quarter revolution of the non-expanding helical wake of the own blade. For the special case of in-plane trailed vorticity, the original empirical equations determining the steady-state value of the near-wake induction are replaced by the analytical results, which are in the form of incomplete elliptic integrals. For the general condition of helical trailed vorticities, the steady-state near-wake induction is approximated based on the results of the special conditions and a correction factor. The factor is calculated using empirical equations with influence coefficient tensors, to minimize the computational efforts. These influence coefficient tensors are pre-calculated and are fitted to the results from the numerical integration of the Biot-Savart law. With the indicial function approach, it is not necessary to explicitly save the information of the vorticities that were trailed in the previous time steps. This engineering approach is a combination of analytical results and numerical approximations, with low and constant computational effort for each time step. The proposed model is practically applicable to time-marching aero-servo-elastic simulations. The results of the swept blades with uniform inflow perpendicular to the rotor calculated from the proposed model are compared with the results from a BEM code, a lifting-line solver as well as a Navier-Stokes solver. The significantly improved agreement with the higher-fidelity models compared to the BEM method highlights the performance of the proposed method.

Authors: Bagul Tushar D.
Published: August 2021

The Government of India has announced new tax slab in Union Budget 2020-21. This new tax slab is also called as Optional tax regime because Government has not abolished old tax regime. The tax payer has option to choose the tax regime i.e. either Old or New which is better for them. The new tax regime has lower tax slab as compared to old tax structure. The taxpayer has given an option to either choose new tax structure with lower tax slab or the old tax one with tax benefit but higher tax slabs. The old tax regime enable taxpayer to avail existing tax exemption such as Leave Travelling Allowance, House Rent Allowance & deductions available under Income Tax Act, 1961. While those who are opting new tax regime will not have to avail advantages of existing exemptions & deductions that are available under old tax regime. The old tax regime has higher tax rate and three tax slab, whereas new tax regime has lower tax rate & six tax slabs. There is similarity in tax rate in case of individual below 60 years of age in both tax regime as it is exempted up to 2.5 lakh. In addition to this as per Section 87A (Introduced in Finance Act, 2003) Individual who is resident of India for Income Tax purpose, is entitled to claim tax rebate up to Rs.12,500 against tax liability if his/her Income does not exceed Rs.5,00,000 for old as well as new tax regime.

Published: August 2021

Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of Telmisartan (TEL), an angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) blocker, on the mitochondria-specific genes expression in a mouse model of Parkinsonism. Materials and methods: Mice were divided into 5 groups with 6 in each; Group I received 0.5% CMC (control) + saline, Group II received 0.5% CMC + 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) (positive control), Group III & IV received MPTP + TEL 3 and 10 mg/kg, p.o. respectively, Group V received TEL 10 mg/kg, p.o. (drug control). MPTP was given 80 mg/kg intraperitoneal in two divided doses (40 mg/kg × 2 at 16 h time interval). Vehicle or TEL was administered 1 h before the MPTP injection. Motor function was assessed 48 h after the first dose of MPTP and animals were euthanized to collect brain. Results: Mice intoxicated with MPTP showed locomotor deficits and significant upregulation of α-synuclein (α-syn), downregulation of metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1), and Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and Striatum (STr) regions of brains. In addition, MPTP intoxication down-regulated mitochondria-specific genes such as DJ-1, PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1), Parkin, enriched with leucine repeats kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene expfression. Pre-treatment with TEL restored locomotor functions and upregulated PINK1, Parkin, LRRK2, DJ-1, MTA1 and UCHL1. Conclusion: The present study evidences that TEL has the ability to improve mitochondrial functions in PD.
Bioinformatic approaches to the investigation of the atavistic genes implicated in cancer
Authors: Louka Aikaterini , Takan Işıl , Pavlopoulou Athanasia , Georgakilas Alexandros G.
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Cancer is a widespread phenomenon occurring across multicellular organisms and represents a condition of atavism, wherein cells follow a path of reverse evolution that unlocks a toolkit of ancient pre-existing adaptations by disturbing hub genes of the human gene network. This results to a primitive cellular phenotype which resembles a unicellular life form. Methods: In the present study, we have employed bioinformatic approaches for the in-depth investigation of twelve atavistic hub genes (ACTG1, CTNNA1, CTNND1, CTTN, DSP, ILK, PKN2, PKP3, PLEC, RCC2, TLN1 and VASP), which exhibit highly disrupted interactions in diverse types of cancer and are associated with the formation of metastasis. To this end, phylogenetic analyses were conducted towards unravelling the evolutionary history of those hubs and tracing the origin of cancer in the Tree of Life. Results: Based on our results, most of those genes are of unicellular origin, and some of them can be traced back to the emergence of cellular life itself (atavistic theory). Our findings indicate how deep the evolutionary roots of cancer actually are, and may be exploited in the clinical setting for the design of novel therapeutic approaches and, particularly, in overcoming resistance to antineoplastic treatment.

The Effect of Benefits Gained from Leisure Activities on Entrepreneurship and Academic Hopelessness
Authors: Siyahtaş Anıl , Çakır Veli Ozan
Published: August 2021

The importance of the benefits that individuals get from the activities they participate in their leisure is increasing day by day. It is known that the benefits gained are reflected positively in many aspects of the individual’s life. From this point of view, this study aimed to examine the effect of the benefits obtained by university students in their leisure on the prediction of entrepreneurship and academic hopelessness. The study group of the research consisted of a total of 457 students, 247 males and 210 females, selected by easy sampling method, and studying at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Sports Sciences. In addition to the personal information form, Leisure Benefit Scale (LBS) developed by Ho (2008) and adapted into Turkish by Akgül et al. (2018); Entrepreneurship Scale (ES) developed by Yılmaz and Sünbül (2009) and Academic Hopelessness Scale (AHS) developed by Gökalp and Soykan (2020) were used as data collection tools. The normality distribution of the data was decided according to the skewness and kurtosis values. After the data showed normal distribution, t-test, Pearson Correlation test, Multiple Regression analysis were performed in the analysis. As a result, while there were differences between university students’ leisure benefits and academic hopelessness according to their gender, a significant relationship was found between leisure benefits and entrepreneurship and academic hopelessness. In this context, it was concluded that social benefit from leisure benefits was a significant predictor of entrepreneurship and academic hopelessness.

Towards Fairly Apportioning Sale Proceeds in a Collective Sale of Strata Property
Authors: Ti Edward Sw
Published: August 2021

Cake-cutting is a longstanding metaphor for ‘a wide range of real-world problems that involve’ the division of anything of value. Unsurprisingly, where owners of a strata scheme wish to end the strata scheme and collectively sell their development, one of the most contentious issues may be the apportionment of sale proceeds. In Singapore, this problem is compounded in mixed developments which have both commercial and residential elements as well as in developments with different sized units, often with disproportionate strata share values; even differing facings and the state of one’s unit may attract disenchantment when trying to apportion proceeds. This article critically analyses how New South Wales (‘NSW’) and Singapore allocate proceeds pursuant to a collective sale of strata property. In this respect, the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015 (NSW) and Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW) are significantly clearer than Singapore’s Land Titles (Strata) Act (Singapore, cap 158, rev ed 2009) as the latter does not prescribe any statutory formula for apportionment. In examining the jurisprudence and respective strata frameworks, this article proposes how proceeds in a collective sale could be more fairly apportioned.

This century has seen dramatic changes in the way in which sexual offences, particularly against children, are prosecuted in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. These jurisdictions have acknowledged the potential of myths and misconceptions about how a victim will behave, both during and after a sexual assault, to exert an undue influence on jurors. Expert evidence to educate jurors about common rape myths that apply to issues of consent has been used to redress this issue. However, such expert evidence poses significant challenges for the lawyers and experts. This article explores the effectiveness of educative expert evidence through analysis of an illustrative contemporary Australian child sexual assault case where the authors interviewed some of the jurors and other trial participants about their perceptions of the expert evidence. Practical suggestions to improve educative expert evidence are identified and explained.
Parramatta Female Factory Precinct as a Site of Conscience: Using Institutional Pasts to Shape Just Legal Futures
Authors: Steele Linda , Djuric Bonney , Hibberd Lily , Yeh Fiona
Published: August 2021

Parramatta Female Factory Precinct Association through its Memory Project is activating PFFP as Australia’s first officially recognised Site of Conscience. Through the Memory Project, survivors of Parramatta Girls Home are using art practices and social history to disrupt dominant, official narratives that have silenced their experiences, to put their memories of the Home into action and to prevent future injustices of institutionalisation. For law students and legal practitioners the work of Parragirls through the Memory Project offers possibilities for confronting the complicity of Australian legal systems and legal actors in the harms and injustices of institutional confinement. It provides examples and new methods to direct them towards practices of collective ethical accountability in order to shaping more just future legal frameworks of institutional confinement. In support of this argument the article discusses a recent collaboration between the authors to engage law students in the Precinct through an excursion to the site.
Legislating in Language: Indigenous Languages in Parliamentary Debate, Legislation and Statutory Interpretation
Authors: Murphy Julian R
Published: August 2021

There are signs that Australia is beginning a long-overdue process of incorporating Indigenous languages into its parliamentary debates and legislation. These are significant developments in Australian public law which, to date, have attracted insufficient scholarly attention. This article begins the process of teasing out the doctrinal implications of this phenomenon. The article is in four parts, the first two of which describe and normatively defend the trend towards Indigenous language lawmaking in Australia. The third part looks abroad to how other countries facilitate multilingual parliamentary debate and legislation. Finally, the article examines the interpretative questions that multilingual legislation poses for Australian courts. Potential answers to these questions are identified within existing Australian and comparative jurisprudence. However, the ultimate aim of this article is not to make prescriptions but to stimulate further discussion about multilingual legislation, which discussion ought to foreground Indigenous voices.
Revitalising Public Law in a Technological Era: Rights, Transparency and Administrative Justice
Authors: Ng Yee-Fui , O’Sullivan Maria , Paterson Moira , Witzleb Normann
Published: August 2021

Author Yee-Fui Ng, Maria O’Sullivan, Moira Paterson and Normann Witzleb This article examines how public law should be revitalised in light of the increasing use of technology in government decision-making. As the recent controversy concerning the implementation of an automated debt recovery system by the Department of Social Services illustrates, the automation of government decision-making engages fundamental legal principles such as transparency, procedural fairness and reviewability. The use of technology in administrative decision-making in Australia therefore raises a number of critical, and interlocking, questions: Is Australian public law fit for purpose to protect individual rights in automated governmental decision- making? If not, what reforms are necessary and how should they be instituted? This article will consider these issues in relation to three specific areas of public law: privacy law, freedom of information, and judicial review. In doing so, it sets out concrete recommendations for the revitalisation of Australian public law so that it may become more value-compliant and consistent with emerging international best practice standards.

Neste estudo foram abordadas algumas problemáticas sobre o atual cenário da educação brasileira, mostrando as dificuldades que o sistema de ensino vem enfrentando em decorrência da inequação dos modelos rígidos e tradicionais de ensino, observando às necessidades de uma sociedade em constante transformação, bem como apresentar uma nova tendência educacional “a flexibilização” do ensino, através de propostas metodológicas que possam ser utilizadas para adequar o sistema de ensino atual e promover um despertar nos profissionais da educação na área da ciência para que possam repensar suas metodologias. Como educador, é importante refletir sobre o que está funcionando no sistema educacional em vigor, ou seja, deve-se constantemente examinar se as metodologias de ensino utilizadas estão apresentando os resultados esperados, onde a avaliação da aplicação dessas metodologias tenderá a garantir que as mesmas sejam sempre as melhores para os alunos.

n this paper, we present findings on social media use by students at two institutions in three levels of post-secondary programs. We find that students are almost universally using at least one social network, with Facebook as the most popular, and Instagram second. Many respondents are simultaneously active on several social networks. However, few post to any social medium more than once per day. Social media usage levels of students in our survey far exceeded that of the adult Canadian population at large. Changes in student posting habits during the course varied widely with the level of post-secondary program, as did views on the professional applications of social media.
Nupe Hegemony in Akokoland in the Nineteenth Century: A Study in Local Imperialism in Pre-Colonial Nigeria, 1845-1897
Authors: Aremu Johnson Olaosebikan , Oniye Sola Opeyemi
Published: August 2021

This paper examined the imperial exploits of Nupe among the Akoko communities of Northeast Yorubaland between 1845 and 1897. The study adopted the narrative and analytical methods of historical research. Data for the study was gathered through primary and secondary sources. These involved oral interviews with some community leaders that were purposively selected. Secondary sources like relevant books, journal articles, newspaper publications and internal materials were also consulted. It noted that one major factor that aided Nupe’s successful military imperial raids and subjugation of Akoko area was the lack of unity among the communities. This was itself due to intercommunal warfare in the Akoko region between 1800 and 1845. The wars weakened the local armies and prevented any joint military force against a common enemy, the Nupe. The paper further documented, extensively, the nature of imperial administration established by the Nupe in the Akoko area between 1845 and 1897. Some impacts of Nupe hegemony on Akoko communities during the period of study were also highlighted. The paper concluded that Nupe hegemonic and imperial rule in Akokoland could have continued beyond 1897 if not for the invasion of the British colonial masters.
A Case Review of a Male Chinese Savant Adult with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and Syndromic Low-Functioning/Non-verbal Autism
Authors: Lwee Goh Lyndsey Aik , Xie Guohui
Published: August 2021

This is a case review of a male Chinese adult, BK, who has been previously diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex, syndromic low-functioning/non-verbal autistic savantism and intellectual disability. He has the gift of painting and has since produced many works that show he has an eye for detail, color, texture, and stroke application (Camulli, Goh and Chia, 2018). This paper adopts a different perspective to study the case by re-examining BK’s systemizing ability, i.e., his innate drive to analyze or construct any kind of system, and in his case, painting. Systemizing is defined as the ability to follow a certain set of implicit rules that is governing the system in order to predict how that system will behave (Baron-Cohen 2006). In BK’s case, the focus is on his gift of systemizing ability in the cognitive process of acrylic painting using the following cognitive formulation: [input]->[operation]->[output].
La cuestión de la gestión en el sistema educativo peruano: más allá del neoliberalismo
Authors: León Zamora Eduardo
Published: August 2021

Se analiza la gestión del sistema educativo peruano, a partir del caso de la alfabetización inicial en las áreas curriculares de Comunicación y Matemática, en el primer ciclo de la Educación Básica Regular. El autor sostiene que las propuestas con que se abordan los problemas educativos revelan cómo opera el modelo neoliberal dentro de la burocracia ministerial y sus limitaciones para resolverlos. De esta manera, concluye que el régimen de verdad construido desde el neoliberalismo en la educación instala una perspectiva de gestión que ofrece calidad, eficiencia y modernización. Sin embargo, esta promesa no se cumple.

El Telar de la Naturaleza Urdiendo en la Vida de las Mujeres, es un título muy sugerente con el que me identifico, he comprendido que soy telar y parte de él, reconozco que en los tejidos de la vida, experiencias y aventuras increíbles no había comprendido que soy tejedora, tejo con hilos de colores hermosos que varias veces se han tensado, enredado, eso si nunca se han roto; que me han permitido crear, diseñar tejidos, caminos, ideas, conocimientos ¿no son así las manifestaciones de la naturaleza? El urdir en la vida de las mujeres por varios lustros me condujo a esta preciosa oportunidad de mostrar por medio de los enlaces, tramas y jaspes, que es posible la unión, la solidaridad humana que se enseña a través de los tejidos. La investigación ha acompañado mi caminar por historias, sueños, propósitos de mujeres que al conocerlas desde el corazón transforman mi ser, soy feliz, pues he reverdecido.
