Decadal changes in seasonal snow cover of the Northern Hemisphere
Authors:   , Kouki Kerttu
Published: October 2023

Seasonal snow cover of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) is an important part of the global climate system. Snow cover greatly influences surface albedo and thus the Earth’s energy balance, which in turn makes snow cover an important variable in climate models. Snow cover also greatly influences the hydrological cycle in the high latitudes and mountainous regions, and affects many human activities, such as road traffic, tourism, and agriculture. Due to the sparse measurement network, monitoring snow cover at a continental scale is only possible from satellites or using reanalysis data. The aim of this thesis is to investigate satellite-based timeseries and trends in snow cover during the satellite era (1980s-present) and to analyze how well the most recent reanalyses (ERA5 and ERA5-Land) and climate models (CMIP6) can capture the observed changes. The results show that statistically significant trends exist toward earlier melt onset in the NH. Also, snow cover extent and the NH total seasonal snow mass have been decreasing, but considerable spatial and temporal variability exists. The trends intensify as spring progresses. The analysis revealed that CMIP6 climate models still struggle to describe snow cover accurately. The CMIP6 models generally overestimate snow mass, but large variability exists between models. However, the results also suggest that climate models may be able to simulate snow mass trends in a warming climate correctly, even if snow mass itself is not accurately reproduced. Also, both ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalyses show inaccuracies in snow cover properties and the multidecadal trends in ERA5 are not fully reliable due to temporal instability. However, the results also indicate that both ERA5 and ERA5-Land can capture the annual variability of seasonal snow cover quite well. Based on the results of this thesis, it is evident that work is still needed to accurately describe snow cover in both reanalyses and climate models.

Published: October 2023

By using ordered fine nanocolumns suitable for high-efficiency red-emission, emission enhancement based on surface plasmon polariton (SPP) coupling was successfully obtained for the honeycomb lattice. This lattice enables us to obtain a longer SPP resonant wavelength in the red region, which could not be attained for the triangular lattice. A 4.8-fold red-emission enhancement was achieved for the honeycomb lattice, demonstrating effective synergy between plasmonic and nanocrystalline effects within the red-emission nanocolumn system. Additionally, a 3.2-fold light-extraction enhancement was attained by changing the emission directionality by introducing plasmonic crystals (PlCs) in addition to metal reflection.

A RESOLUÇÃO DO CONFLITO ISRAELO-LIBANÊS PELO CONSELHO DE SEGURANÇA DA ONU (2006)
Authors: Soares Joabson Cruz , Pacífico Andrea Maria Calazans Pacheco
Published: October 2023

The work aims to study the intervention of the United Nations in the 2006 Israeli-Lebanese conflict that brought human losses and instability to the region. The United Nations, through its Security Council, has articulated a cooperation agreement between Israel, France, Lebanon and the United States, putting an end to hostilities. The study of this case is important because it allows an understanding of the historical context, the theoretical conceptions and the efforts that nations, within the scope of international society, had to create instruments that would make world peace possible. The hypothetical-deductive method, therefore, offers the means to construct, methodologically, the analysis of the theme of this research and the formation of a conjecture to answer the problem initially posed. The hypotheses raised in this research are: If the United Nations has effectively intervened in the Israeli-Lebanese conflict, has this organization been able to resolve this international conflict? If the United Nations has not effectively intervened in the Israeli-Lebanese conflict, has this organization been unable to resolve this international conflict?
CENTRO, PERIFERIA OU SEMIPERIFERIA NAS CADEIAS GLOBAIS DE VALOR? AS POSIÇÕES DO BRASIL E DA CHINA NA ECONOMIA-MUNDO CONTEMPORÂNEA (2005-2015)

Published: October 2023

How does the insertion of Brazil and China in the international division of labor (IDL) express and conditions their respective positions in the contemporary world-economy? The objective of this work is to verify how the aggregation of value in the trade of goods and services of Brazil and China in the global value chains (GVC), between 2005 and 2015, relates to their respective dispositions in the contemporary world-economy (center, periphery or semiperiphery). To meet this objective, we defined a sample of countries for each stratum of the world-economy, based on the classification by the World Bank's gross national income per capita (2020). Subsequently, we comparatively analyze the inclusion of Brazil and China in the GVCs between 2005 and 2015 and then measure the data on value-added trade available on the Trade in Value-Add (OECD/WTO) portal for the three strata of the capitalist world-economy. We found that Chinese trade in value-added ​​are more similar to central patterns in recent years, while Brazilian have increasingly resembled to the peripheral ones. Therefore, although Brazil and China still belong to the semiperipheral stratum of the world-system, partly due to similar income patterns, the Asian state is closer to the capitalist center than Brazil, denoting the continuity of its domestic policies to national development and for upgrading the GVCs. We thus observe a bifurcation process in the semiperiphery of the capitalist world-economy, where China has been positively differentiated itself in the international division of labor in relation to its semiperipheral counterparts.

Published: October 2023

Este artigo pretende expor a distinção da China entre os membros dos BRICS desde a fundação do grupo em 2009 até 2019 a partir da perspectiva disposta pelo conceito de Nova Economia do Projetamento. Primeiramente serão analisadas as conjunturas de comércio exterior e investimentos da China direcionados aos membros dos BRICS, expondo dados que corroboram que a China é a economia mais robusta entre os países do agrupamento e que os índices de complexidade econômica estão relacionados com os desempenhos de crescimento de cada um dos países. Em seguida, será constatado que a China passou por um processo de industrialização rumo ao centro da cadeia de produção global e proeminência nos BRICS. Assim, uma capacidade endógena para esta movimentação será conferida ao desenvolvimento da Nova Economia do Projetamento. Conclusivamente, os modelos de desenvolvimento econômico adotados por Brasil, Rússia, Índia e África do Sul expressam limites aos níveis de industrialização impostos pelo capital comercial rural e pela financeirização nos âmbitos interno e externo, respectivamente, que explicam a assimetria existente no grupo.

Published: October 2023

The growing global population has increased the demand for seafood, making the aquaculture industry a vital food source. However, climate change has negatively impacted the industry as natural inhabitants of aquatic environments such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus are thriving in the warming waters. These foodborne pathogens can cause disease in marine animals, resulting in lowered production rates and substantial economic losses. V. parahaemolyticus is transmitted from these marine animals in aquaculture to humans via raw or undercooked seafood, resulting in gastroenteritis outbreaks. In addition, the extensive use of antibiotics in aquaculture to treat infections within marine animals has led to the development of multidrug-resistant (MDR) V. parahaemolyticus, which threatens the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatments. Thus, it is vital to explore the alternatives of antibiotics in aquaculture to manage the spread of antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of MDR V. parahaemolyticus to provide insight into the current antibiotic resistance patterns of this pathogen and to determine potential anti-Vibrio properties of Streptomyces MUM 178J which was previously isolated from the soils of a mangrove forest in Sarawak, Malaysia. Colony morphology and toxR-assay indicated that all samples tested positive for V. parahaemolyticus. Further identification with genomic analyses confirmed that 64% (64/100) of the isolates were V. parahaemolyticus. The multiple antibiotic resistance index (MAR) of the isolates ranged between 0.07 and 0.57, with 81% (52/64) of the isolates resistant to more than one antibiotic. The isolates were most resistant to ampicillin (98.4%), followed by ceftazidime (53.1%). In contrast, the isolates were highly susceptible to nalidixic acid (98.4%), tetracycline (93.8%), and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (90.6%). They also demonstrated susceptibilities of 89.1% to levofloxacin, oxytetracycline, and gentamicin. Streptomyces sp. MUM 178J exhibited antagonistic effects on select V. parahaemolyticus strain, RP0132, with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 12.5 mg/mL and a minimum bactericidal concentration of 50 mg/mL.

Authors: Shyam D Maurya  , Anurag Singh
Published: October 2023

In the present review, we have focused on the utilization of keratin from poultry bio-mass. Keratin is a tough, fibrous protein that is mostly found. There are millions of tonnes of keratin-containing biomass produced by the food sector, particularly the meat market, slaughterhouses and wool industry. These proteins which make up the byproduct of keratin contain between 15-18% of Nitrogen, 2-5% of sulphur, 1.20% of Fat and 90% of Protein. It is an eco-friendly and economical method for the production of uniaxially and randomly oriented polymeric products. The chemical and mechanical techniques can be utilized right away to make a wide range of cosmetics, lotions, shampoos, hair conditioners and biomedical items. The natural protein is better suited for usage on or application to human hair and skin. In the present study, various sources of keratin, purification and separation of keratin from organic waste have industrial application and their future perspectives have all been discussed.
Phytochemicals for mitigating the COVID-19 crisis: evidence from pre-clinical and clinical studies

Published: October 2023

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in December 2019 quickly escalated to pandemic levels and had a severe impact on public health. There are 761 million confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases, with over 6.88 million deaths worldwide till March 2023. Severe cases of the disease caused critical respiratory failure followed by multiorgan involvement. Clinical escalation of COVID-19 has been correlated with markedly increased plasma inflammatory markers [e.g., C-reactive protein (CRP)] and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels [e.g., interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)]. Therapeutic options have mostly utilized corticosteroids, antivirals (e.g., remdesivir), and monoclonal antibody-based immunomodulation (e.g., tocilizumab). These existing treatments have adverse side effects, inadequate efficacy, and limitations in administering to patients with comorbidities and other underlying diseases. Monoclonal antibody-based therapies and some of the antivirals are very costly. Many phytochemicals have previously reported anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antioxidant properties. Studying the effectiveness of such phytochemicals against COVID-19 and identifying new plant-derived molecules with antiviral properties have been a focus since the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. This review article has documented in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies encompassing 28 different phytochemicals belonging to various chemical groups (e.g., polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenes) that show anti-COVID-19 activity. These findings suggest that multiple phytochemicals can interfere with virus entry and replication inside the host cell. Many of them can protect from cytokine storm by acting on intracellular signalling pathways in addition to inhibiting virus multiplication. Phytochemicals may prove useful in alleviating post-COVID complications associated with kidney injury, and central nervous system complications, as well. Plant-derived compounds are usually cheaper and have fewer side effects. But, developing new formulations with better absorption and bioavailability remains a priority. This review informs the readers of the current status and indicates the ongoing research in this highly relevant field.

Japanese poetry “Senryu” as a reflection of culture and lifestyle of Japan
Authors: Мията М.
Published: October 2023

В статье исследуется отражение культуры и стиля жизни Японии в юмористической поэзии сэнрю на протяжении существования этого жанра, то есть с начала XVII века. Для достижения цели автор описывает историю японской поэзии до образования жанра сэнрю и ситуацию с конкурсами сэнрю в Японии в наши дни, определяет понятие юмора в жанре и анализирует стихи сэнрю, занявшие высокие места на конкурсе The Salaryman Senryu Contest в 2020 и 2021 годах и отражающие жизнь во время пандемии COVID-19. Исследование показывает, что современные стихотворения сэнрю, получившие призовые места, охватывают темы, которые касаются большого количества людей в Японии, такие как удаленная работа, ношение маски и трудности в общении, вызванные этими обстоятельствами. Таким образом, можно сказать, что темы, упоминаемые в стихотворениях сэнрю, актуальны и отражают культуру и образ жизни японцев.

Authors: Freire Esparza Jean Pierre , Bermúdez Santana Diana Maricela
Published: October 2023

El doble conforme es un principio constitucional que permite ejercer un efectivo derecho a la defensa, para cumplir el debido proceso, y que está contemplado en la Constitución de la República del Ecuador de 2008. Sin embargo, cuanto se trata de contravenciones de tránsito que no generan privación de libertad, la norma dispone que no cabe recurso de apelación. Por lo que, el objetivo general de la misma es analzar el principio de doble conforme frente al proceso judicial de impugnación de contravenciones de tránsito. El Código Orgánico Integral Penal del 2014 contradice a la Constitución, en tanto que, ésta determina que todo fallo podrá ser recurrido en aplicación del principio de doble conforme y el texto penal determina que, únicamente se puede apelar una sentencia de contravenciones de tránsito cuando imponga una pena privativa de libertad. La metodología empleada dentro de la investigación tiene un enfoque cualitativo, con la utilización del método deductivo, dógmatico y analítico-sintético. La técnica fue el análisis de la norma, donde se pudo evidenciar, la manera en cómo, no es procedente la impugnación de las decisiones judiciales respecto a las contravenciones de tránsito que no tienen pena privativa de libertad, lo que genera una vulneración de derechos

Ovarian cancer remains one of the most aggressive gynecological malignancies after cervical and endometrial cancer especially due to the multiple patterns of spread cited so far. Although it has been stated that the peritoneal route is the most dangerous pattern of spread leading to the apparition of disseminated intraabdominal lesions, other pathways such as hematogenous or lymphatic route can be also important, leading to the apparition of abdominal and extra-abdominal metastases. The aim of the current paper is to discuss about the risk of developing axillary metastases from ovarian cancer primaries.

Authors:   National Association of Korean Local Government Studies, Lee Jung-Sub , Lee Dong-Gi
Published: October 2023

In this study, as the demand for social welfare services increases, the number of social welfare workers is increasing in quantity, and the poor treatment of social welfare workers is continuously pointed out. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to establish basic data and set policy directions for improving treatment through a survey on the perception of treatment of social welfare workers. As a result of the study, 55.2% of respondents were not satisfied with the level of remuneration compared to the intensity of work, and 61.1% of respondents were not satisfied with the level of satisfaction compared to workers in similar occupations. In addition, to improve the remuneration system, compliance with the government's remuneration guidelines, overtime work allowance, and the introduction of the child school expenses system were found to be high. As a policy measure for this, a single wage system should be introduced to improve the remuneration of social welfare workers, and support for welfare programs should be expanded. In addition, unification of policies is required to improve the treatment of social welfare workers, and expansion of emotional support programs is required to restore trust among social welfare workers.

İnsanlar arasındaki iletişimi sağlayan dil, aynı zamanda bir kültür taşıyıcısıdır. Bir milletin sahip olduğu her şey onun kültürünü oluştururken bunların aktarımı da dille sağlanır. Esasen dil kültürün kültür de dilin besleyicisidir. Birey kendi dilini kültürüyle beraber öğrenir. Bu durum yeni bir dil öğreniminde de aynı şekilde gelişir. Yabancı dil öğrenen kişi hedef dili öğrenirken o dilin kültürünü de benimser. Bu etkileşim sağlanırken dil öğretiminde kültür aktarımına ait unsurlar, genellikle metinler aracılığıyla verilir. Dolayısıyla bu süreçteki kültür aktarımını sağlayacak metinlerin seçimi ve o metinlerin kültürle olan bağı büyük önem taşır. Bu çalışma, somut olmayan kültürel miraslarımızdan zengin kültür unsurlarını içeren geleneksel perde oyunlarından Karagöz’ün bir materyal olarak yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretiminde kullanılabileceğini ortaya koymayı amaçlamıştır. Bu kapsamda ‘Bilgilerle Günümüzden Karagöz Oyunları’ (3cilt) adlı kitapta yer alan güncel metinlerden seçilen altı oyun, doküman analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Bu oyunlarda tespit edilen kültür unsurları, sekiz kategoride toplanarak bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Karagöz oyunlarına ait metinlerin dil öğrenimine ilgiyi artıracağı gibi kültürün öğrenilmesine de katkı sağlayacağı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmada belirlenen kültür unsurlarının yanı sıra Karagöz oyunların kendine has özellikleriyle de yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretiminde iyi birer kültür aktarımı materyali olabileceği ortaya konulmuştur.

The popularity of Korean dramas and pop music, known asHallyuor the Korean Wave, has positively impacted South Korea’s tourism and cultural exports. Nevertheless, studies about Korean foreign direct investment (FDI) associated with theHallyuphenomenon are still scarce. Thus, this study attempts to investigate Korean FDI that flows to Indonesia under such a phenomenon. Data was collected through documents and relevant video reviews which was then followed by a key informant interview. The findings showed that the rising trend of Korean pop music in Indonesia has gradually stimulated Korean investors to invest in industries promoting the transmittedHallyuculture, such as broadcasting, TV and video production, sound recording and music publishing. Despite the amount of investment remaining lower than in the heavy and manufacturing industries, the study indicates an increase in Korean FDI in Indonesia’s content industries due to the high demand for Korean cultural content and the country’s ongoing bilateral commitment to South Korea. This study adds to our understanding of how global familiarity with a cultural phenomenon may affect FDI inflows to the country from which that phenomenon originates.

This study provides an overview of current situation and policy planning documents for the implementation
of Renewable Energy Sources [RES] in Latvia and Czechia. The main aim is to evaluate the gathered experience
in each country in the use of photovoltaics [PV] for electricity production and to define the possible potential of using
PV for achieving the EU’s energy and climate goals for 2030. Czechia has already long-term experience in instating of
on-site PV systems, the growth of which remained stagnant since 2013. On the other hand, Latvia faced a significant
PV-installation increase since spring 2022. Special attention is paid to both countries climate analysis, it is a very similar
in solar radiation data. Paper provides data of newest support mechanisms, energy policy documents and marketing
models which can be applied for a new PV power plant projects in Latvia and Czechia. The article analyzed the data
on dynamics of electricity production, consumption and share of PV electricity in both countries for last ten years. The
National Energy and Climate Plans [NECPs] for 2021–2030 and the proposed scenarios for achieving the set goals in
the field of energy and climate, regarding increasing the use of RES in electricity generation were also studied. Finally,
based on all the analyzed data, it can be concluded that both countries have the on-site and nearby electricity production
PV potential to achieve their goals in field of RES electricity generation.

This paper presents the lifecycle of 3D data in cultural heritage sites with a long-term and cyclical renovation
process. 3D data is obtained in different periods with different sensors – ground laser scanning, drones, photographies
of eralies period and simple measurements. In cultural and historical heritage objects, restoration works are carried
out seasonally and in the conditions of available financing. 3D data and its supplementary data have much wider applicability
beyond restoration or monitoring works. The data can be transferred to tourism, where it is used both for
virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) technologies, and for the restoration using the HBIM approach. Thus,
the data is transferred for re-use for restoration, tourism, and object management. The article discusses the acquisition,
processing and application of 3D data for the creation of HBIM with the possibility of use in VR/AR equipment. This
paper also examines the issue of updating data after restoration works, covering solutions for data publication. The aim
of this work is to diversify the use of data in the long term without re-documenting full objects.
Carbon footprints of large compression chillers for district cooling – accounting for temporal resolution of the electricity supply
Authors: WEBER Rosa , RIXRATH Doris , SCHAUER Raphael , KRAIL Jürgen , PIRINGER Gerhard
Published: October 2023

Compression chillers are a common technology used in district cooling networks, with fluctuating cooling
loads and consuming different electricity mixes at different times. This work aims to study these effects on the CFs of
operating three compression chillers in a district cooling plant in Austria, using LCA-based CF modelling. Electricity
consumption dominates the chillers’ CFs. While using the annual average electricity mix overestimated the CF for
two warm-season and mixed-season chillers by 12% and 1%, respectively, it underestimated the CF for a mainly coldseason
chiller by 6%. Seasonal changes in electricity mixes and cooling loads were well suited to explain the calculated
CF deviations and should be accounted for in carbon footprints dominated by renewables-rich electricity consumption.
The use of a genetic algorithm to determine the optimal operating conditions for a low-temperature ORC system

Published: October 2023

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) devices are systems that implement the basic Rankine cycle, but use an organic
medium instead of water. These devices can use low-temperature heat, but it should be remembered that the
achievable efficiency decreases as the source temperature decreases. Previous publications have shown that maximizing
capacity, rather than efficiency, is the main goal of the ORC system. This can be achieved by establishing the correct
operating conditions, while ensuring the correct mass flow of the working medium to each component. For instance,
the expander must reach the required rotational speed. This work focuses on using genetic algorithms to determine
optimal operating conditions and maximize capacity. A genetic algorithm was developed for a newly built ORC device,
enabling determination of optimal operating conditions. The results were implemented in the device driver and validated
experimentally, confirming that genetic algorithms can easily achieve the desired effect.
