The Coastline Evolution Model 2D (CEM2D) V1.1
Authors: Leach Chloe , Coulthard Tom , Barkwith Andrew , Parsons Daniel R. , Manson Susan
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Coasts are among the most intensely used environments on
the planet, but they also present dynamic and unique hazards, including
flooding and erosion. Sea level rise and changing wave climates will alter
patterns of erosion and deposition, but some existing coastline evolution
models are unable to simulate these effects due to their one-dimensional
representation of the systems or the sediment transport processes. In this
paper, the development and application of the Coastline Evolution Model 2D
(CEM2D) are presented, a model which incorporates these influences. The model has
been developed from the established CEM and is capable of simulating
fundamental cause–effect relationships in coastal systems. The
two-dimensional storage and transport of sediment in CEM2D, which are only
done in one-dimension in CEM, mean it is also capable of exploring the
influence of a variable water level on sediment transport and the formation
and evolution of morphological features and landforms at the mesoscale. The
model sits between one-dimensional and three-dimensional models, with the
advantage of increased complexity and detail in model outputs compared to
the former but with more efficiency and less computational expense than the
latter.
A conceptual framework for including irrigation supply chains in the water footprint concept: gross and net blue and green water footprints in agriculture in Pakistan
Authors: Siyal Abdul Wahab , Gerbens-Leenes Winnie , Aldaya Maite , Naz Rozina
Published: September 2021

Abstract. The water footprint (WF) concept is a generally accepted tool introduced in 2002. Many studies applied water footprinting, indicating impacts of human consumption on freshwater, especially from agriculture. Although the WF includes supply chains, presently it excludes irrigation supply chains and non-beneficial evapotranspiration, and calculations for agriculture start from crop water requirements. We present a conceptual framework distinguishing between traditional (net) WFs and proposed gross WFs, defined as the sum of net WFs and irrigation supply chain related blue WFs and as the sum of green WFs and green WFs of weeds. Many water management studies focused on blue water supply efficiency, assessing water losses in supply chain links. The WF concept, however, excludes water flows to stocks where water remains available and recoverable, e.g. to usable groundwater, in contrast to many water management approaches. Also, many studies focused on irrigation technology improvement to save water. We argue that not only irrigation technology should be considered, but whole water supply chains, also distinguishing between surface and groundwater, to improve efficient blue water use in agriculture. This framework is applied to the Pakistani part of the Indus basin that includes the largest man-made irrigation network in the world. The gross blue WF is 1.6 times the net blue WF leading to a K value (ratio of gross and net blue WF) of 0.6. Surface water losses vary between 45 and 49 %, groundwater losses between 18 and 21 %. Presently, efficient irrigation receives much attention. However, it is important to take irrigation supply chains into account to improve irrigation efficiency. Earlier WF studies showing water scarcity in many regions underestimate agricultural water consumption if supply chains are neglected. More water efficient agriculture should take supply chain losses into account probably requiring water management adaptations, which is more a policy than an agriculture task.
Exploring river–aquifer interactions and hydrological system response using baseflow separation, impulse response modelling and time series analysis in three temperate lowland catchments
Authors: Lu Min , Rogiers Bart , Beerten Koen , Gedeon Matej , Huysmans Marijke
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Lowland rivers and shallow aquifers are closely coupled and their interactions are crucial for maintaining healthy stream ecological functions. In order to explore river–aquifer interactions and lowland hydrological system in three Belgian catchments, we apply a combined approach of baseflow separation, impulse response modelling and time series analysis over a 30–year study period at catchment scale. Baseflow from hydrograph separation shows that the three catchments are groundwater-dominated. The recursive digital filter methods generate a smoother baseflow time series than the graphical methods, and yield more reliable results than the graphical ones. Impulse response modelling is applied with a two–step procedure. The first step where groundwater level response is modelled shows that groundwater level in shallow aquifers reacts fast to the system input, with most of the wells reaching their peak response during the first day. There is an overall trend of faster response time and higher response magnitude in the wet (October–March) than the dry (April–September) periods. The second step of baseflow response modelling shows that the system response is also fast and that simulated baseflow can capture some variations but not the peaks of the separated baseflow time series. The time series analysis indicates that components such as interflow and overland flow, contribute significantly to stream flow. They are somehow included as part of the separated baseflow, which is likely to be overestimated from hydrograph separation. The impulse response modelling approach from the groundwater flow perspective can be an optional method to estimate the baseflow, since it considers some level of the physical connection between river and aquifer in the subsurface. Further research is however recommended to improve the simulation, such as giving more weight to wells close to the river and adding more drainage dynamics to the model input.
Tropical cyclone storm surge probabilities for the east coast of the United States: A cyclone-based perspective
Authors: Towey Katherine L. , Booth James F. , Rodriguez Enriquez Alejandra , Wahl Thomas
Published: September 2021

Abstract. To improve our understanding of the influence of tropical cyclones (TCs) on coastal flooding, the relationships between storm surge and TC characteristics are analyzed for the east coast of the United States. Using observational data, the statistical dependencies of storm surge on TCs are examined for these characteristics: distance from TC center, TC intensity, track path angle, and propagation speed. Statistically significant but weak linear correlations are found for nearly all sites. At each location, storm surge is influenced differently by these characteristics, with some locations more strongly influenced by TC intensity and others by the distance from the TC center. The correlation for individual and combined TC characteristics increases when conditional sorting is applied to isolate strong TCs close to a location, though the fraction of surge variance explained is never greater than 60 %. The probabilities of TCs generating surge exceeding specific return levels (RLs) are then analyzed for TCs that pass within 500 km of a location, where between 7 % and 26 % of TCs were found to cause surge exceeding the 0.5-yr RL. If only the closest and strongest TCs are considered, the percentage of TCs that generate surge exceeding the 0.5-yr RL is between 30 % and 50 % at sites north of Sewell’s Point, VA, and over 70 % at almost all sites south of Charleston, SC. Overall, this analysis demonstrates that no single TC characteristic dictates how much surge will be generated and offers a unique perspective on surge probabilities that is based on all TCs rather than focusing only on those that cause extreme surge.

Social education through the lens of Bakhtinian theory
Authors: Osovsky Oleg , Dubrovskaya Svetlana , Chernetsova Ekaterina
Published: September 2021

A review of Bakhtin in the Fullness of Time: Bakhtinian Theory and the Process of Social Education, Edited by Craig Brandist, Michael E. Gardiner, E. Jayne White and Carl Mika. L.: Routledge. 2020. 160 p.

The review of the collection of articles Bakhtin in the Fullness of Time: Bakhtinian Theory and the Process of Social Education represents an analysis of the perspectives, main trends, and interpretations of key points, ideas, and concepts of M. M. Bakhtin in the contemporary theory and practice of Social Education.

The book’s nine chapters are grouped within three problem areas, researched by the book’s contributors. This is, in the first place, a re-establishment of those philosophical and sociological sources that trace back to the roots of Bakhtin’s early views that had defined the nature of his responses to the challenges of his time in his early philosophical texts, books about Dostoevsky and books about bildungsroman. Another field of examination is Bakhtin's late dialogue with his contemporaries. Sometimes this dialogue is active and obvious, as it happens in the situation with the latest aesthetic and literary trends in Russia at the beginning of the 1920s. Sometimes this dialogue turns out to be ambiguous, therefore researchers can only guess how to reconstruct it, basing their views on the complementarity of Bakhtin’s ideas and Lev Vygotsky or Paulo Freire’s ones.

An equally important aspect of this collection is a number of articles devoted to how Bakhtin's theory is transformed into "classroom practice", whether it concerns the use of dialogue and its capabilities in interaction with foreigners, providing educational opportunities to the most economically vulnerable segments of South African society, or communication with preschoolers in kindergarten.

The authors of the book managed to create a convincing picture of how Bakhtinian theory is becoming one of the most important elements of contemporary theory and practice of education. At the same time, not only Bakhtinian ideas, primarily the concepts of dialogue, polyphony, carnival, and chronotope, are important, but also that free polyphony, which puts into effect any creative practice.
A system of shared autonomous vehicles for Chicago: Understanding the effects of geofencing the service
Authors: Gurumurthy Krishna Murthy , Auld Joshua , Kockelman Kara
Published: September 2021

With autonomous vehicles (AVs) still in the testing phase, researchers and planners must resort to simulation techniques to explore possible futures regarding shared and automated mobility. An agent-based discrete-event transport simulator, POLARIS, is used in this study to simulate travel in the 20-county Chicago region with a shared AV (SAV) mobility option. Using this framework, the effect of an SAV fleet on system performance when constrained to serve within geofences is studied under four distinct scenarios: service restricted to the city, to the city plus suburban core, to the core plus exurban areas, and to the entire region — along with the choice of dynamic ridesharing (DRS) versus solo travel in an SAV. Results indicate that service areas need a balanced mix of trip generators and attractors, and an SAV fleet’s empty VMT (eVMT) can be noticeably reduced through suitable geofencing and DRS. Geofences can also help lower response times, reduce systemwide VMT across all modes, and ensure uniform access to SAVs. DRS is most useful in lowering VMT and %eVMT that arises from sprawled land development, but with insufficient demand to share rides, savings from the use of geofences is higher. Geofences targeting neighborhoods with high trip density bring about low response times and %eVMT, but fleet sizes in these regions need to be designed for uniformly low response times throughout a large region, as opposed to maximizing vehicle use in a 24-hour day.

The promise and the premise: How digital media present big data
Authors: Becerra Gastón
Published: September 2021

This paper analyzes the thematic and discursive construction of big data by the Argentine digital press. Using text mining techniques — topic modelling and enriched associative networks — together with qualitative and quantitative content analysis — in both discourse and images — over 2,026 articles, we sought to identify the topics wherein big data is treated, the promises and risks it addresses, its definition within the semantic field in which is explicitly expressed, and the pictures that illustrate it. Results herein presented compare how big data is portrayed in news about politics, business, and technological innovations, as well as in focal pieces targeted to a generic and massive audience, and critical reflections about its risks. Although in each of those thematic contexts big data is anchored differently, there is a common idea that associates big data with a socio-technological premise and an epistemic promise: because of the availability of large volumes of data, something new that will allow better decisions can be known. Our exploration contributes to a more detailed knowledge on how the news media social systems make sense of novel phenomena such as big data.

Relationship between microalbuminuria and metabolic parameters in a normotensive population with obesity
Authors: Avcı Mehmet , Temizkan Sule
Published: September 2021

Aim: Today, the second-most common cause of preventable death after smoking is obesity. Microalbuminuria is defined as an albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) of more than 30 mg per gram of creatinine. Obesity increases microalbuminuria by affecting the kidneys.Methods: This study was carried out by retrospectively examining the files of obese [Body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2)] individuals between the ages of 18 and 65 with spot microalbuminuria test in urine who admitted to the obesity outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital between January 2013 and June 2015. Four hundred ninety subjects were included in the study. The physical parameters, blood and urine tests of the subjects included in the study at the time of first admission to the obesity clinic were examined.Results: Microalbuminuria was positive in 5.7 % of the participants. The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and uric acid levels for subjects in the microalbuminuria-positive group were higher than in the levels of subjects in the microalbuminuria-negative group [5.6 (5.8-5.5) vs 5.5 (5.7-5.2); P=0.012 and 5.2 (6-4.5) vs 4.7 (5.5-4.2); P=0.038, respectively]. In microalbuminuria-negative group, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH D3) levels were higher than in the microalbuminuria-positive group [12 (18-7.1) vs 8.4 (12.9-6.9); P=0.032]. Urine albumin to creatinine ratio was positively associated with BMI, fasting insulin (FI), Homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), triglycerides (TG) and c-reactive protein (CRP).Conclusion: Obesity increases microalbuminuria by affecting the kidneys. Microalbuminuria is associated with insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and low 25-OH D3. Microalbuminuria must be checked in obese individuals. The prevalence of obesity should be reduced for a healthier life.

Perlukah Konservasi Moral?
Authors: Kristian Indra
Published: September 2021

Di era globalisasi yang di tandai dengan kemajuan dunia ilmu informasi dan teknologi, memberikan banyak perubahan dan tekanan dalam segala bidang. Dunia pendidikan yang secara filosofis di pandang sebagai alat atau wadah untuk mencerdaskan dan membentuk watak manusia agar lebih baik (humanisasi), sekarang sudah mulai bergeser atau disorientasi. Moral merupakan belief system yang bersisikan tata nilai dan menjadi pedoman bagi kehidupan masyarakat. Oleh karena itu moralitas akan berjalan paralel dengan budaya masyarakat. Mengingat  budaya  merupakan refleksi tata nilai masyarakat yang beraneka ragam coraknya, menjadikan budaya itu pun beraneka ragam. Itulah sebabnya diskursus tentang moral sejak lama telah melahirkan paham-paham yang berbeda.
Pendidikan adalah usaha sadar terencana untuk mewujudkan suasana belajar dan proses pembelajaran agar peserta didik secara aktif mengembangkan potensi dirinya untuk memilikikekuatan spiritual keagamaan, pengendalian diri, kepribadian, kecerdasan, akhlak mulia, serta ketrampilan yang diperlukan dirinya, masyarakat, bangsa dan negara.

Authors: GONZÁLEZ HERNÁNDEZ BRYAN
Published: September 2021

El objetivo central de este artículo consiste en analizar el modelo de Estado para el siglo XXI cuya conso-lidación se acelera con los acontecimientos del 11 de setiembre de 2001 en los Estados Unidos. Se considera a este modelo de Estado securitario como una máquina de gestión inmunitaria para un contexto de colapso mundial caracterizado por una serie de destrucciones planetarias y de aniquilación biológica. Es un Estado que radicaliza la conjunción de los poderes militares con los policiales con el propósito de pacificar a sus poblaciones mediante la vigilancia total y la amenaza de guerra contra quienes considera sus enemigos, valiéndose de todos los medios e instrumentos que dispone para cumplir con sus objetivos. El artículo es de tipo teórico-documental, por lo que centra su interés en la revisión de fuentes bibliográficas documentos oficiales, textos académicos y otras, todo ello interconectado y analizado para dar sentido a la línea argumentativa y el desarrollo teórico de lo que se considera como el modelo de Estado para el siglo XX

Maize is a staple food in Zambia and contributes immensely to food security for smallholder farmers. Disease outbreaks such as Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease (MLND) can be a key constraint to maize production. This disease is caused by synergistic co-infection with Maize Chlorotic Mottle Virus (MCMV) and any virus from the family Potyviridae, particularly, Sugarcane Mosaic Virus (SCMV), Maize Dwarf Mosaic Virus (MDMV) or Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus (WSMV). In 2011, an outbreak of MLND affecting almost all of the currently grown commercial varieties posed a challenge to maize production in Kenya and it has since been reported in DR Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda causing yield losses of up to 100%. Despite MLND having been reported in some neighboring countries, there is no information on the status of the disease in Zambia. Additionally, there is a lot of grain and seed trade between Zambia and other countries among which MLND has been reported. The aim of this study was to establish: (a) the status of MCMV; (b) agricultural practices used by farmers and (c) insect vectors associated with MLND. A survey was conducted in nine (9) provinces of Zambia during 2014/2015 and 2015/ 2016 cropping seasons. Farmers’ maize fields were sampled at every five to ten-kilometer interval and tested using rapid diagnostic kits capable of detecting MCMV. Four hundred and nineteen samples collected all tested negative for MCMV. Zambian Agricultural Research Institute (ZARI), with all stakeholders in the maize value chain should continue implementing measures aimed at preventing the introduction of MLND in Zambia. Key words: Survey, MLND, Losses, food security

Majority of farmers growing legumes use and recycle seeds from informal sources for the next crop. The quality of such seeds is unknown and usually leads to accumulation of pest, diseases and reduced yields. This study was carried out to determine production practices and quality of soybean seeds obtained from informal sources in Busia County. A survey was conducted to collect information on source of soybean seeds, production and post-harvest handling practices. Seed samples were collected from farmers, local market and agro-dealers. The seeds were evaluated for purity, seed coat damage, germination, vigour and fungal infection. Majority (48%) of farmers in Busia County used farm saved seeds, 29% and 23% used seeds from community based organizations and local markets, respectively. Most of the farmers (92%) used inappropriate threshing techniques like beating with sticks and about 80% of the farmers did not treat seed either before storage or during planting. Majority (68%) stored soybean for three months only. Seeds from informal sources had low purity, higher seed coat damage and infection as compared to certified seeds. The physical purity of seeds from the informal sources did not meet the recommended standard of 98% however their germination was comparable to 75% germination standard. Farmers therefore, should be advised to adopt use of certified seeds and appropriate handling techniques. Keywords: Soybean, seed source, seed quality, seed production practices

This paper presents the simulation of a 3-phase Permanent Magnet Brushless DC (PM BLDC) motor drive. For the studied drive system in this paper, pulse width modulation (PWM) control has been implemented for a 60-degree six-step trapezoidal PM BLDC motor drive. The used processor is Arduino and PIC16F877A, which is a common, flash-able, and low-cost microcontroller unit (MCU) with functions to perform commutation sequence, rotating direction control, speed control and reading Hall sensor signals, and calculating RPM and duty cycle of the PWM outputs signals depending on variable speed. The controlling technique uses sensored type in order to make this design suitable for low-speed and high-speed applications plus control simplicity. In this paper, The application of Proteus Virtual System Modelling (VSM) software as a real-time simulation tool is introduced to model the performance of a 3-phase Permanent Magnet Brushless DC motor drive before hardware implementation. Expected results can be monitored and analyzed throughout the virtual simulation of all components. The usage of Proteus VSM enables shorter product development time, thus reducing development costs for industrial applications.

Liquid water was used as a refrigerant in the thermal analysis of the battery. After designing in SOLIDWORKS computer-aided design program, performance of the battery module was investigated with the help of SIEMENS FloEFD program which is a computational fluid dynamics program. The simulations were performed under steady-state conditions by using the k-epsilon turbulence model. The results bring out that the highest temperatures were occurred at the busbars and the liquid cooled batteries can operate efficiently at a temperature of 27-28°C.
Milton and the Literary Workhouse
Authors: Ritger Matthew
Published: September 2021

This article examines Milton's relation to seventeenth-century disciplinary institutions such as William Petty's proposed “literary worke-houses” and England's houses of correction. Milton's Of Education and Areopagitica are compared with Petty's ideas in the context of educational subcommittees in the Hartlib Circle to illustrate a shared emphasis on projects such as vocational language learning. The article then turns to Samson Agonistes and the “common workhouse” whose representation the poem repudiates. While arguing that Samson Agonistes might be understood partly as a personal response to the punishment of Milton's student and reader Thomas Ellwood in London's original house of correction, Bridewell prison, the article also detects a more abstract, Miltonic indictment of the abuses made possible by institutionalized power. A final consideration of the Errata and Omissa of the 1671 Poems helps to reveal Samson Agonistes's ingenious commentary on both the corrupted uses of institutional discipline and the possibilities for resistance imagined by a literary correction.

Published: September 2021

The research analyzes the behavior and performance of a control law that has been validated in a previous study in a 3D simulation program. Now, it will be evaluated in a Mazda 6 vehicle with the objective of driving along a previously designed trajectory. This is possible thanks to the use of a GPS sensor as well as additional sensors that allow to know the direct kinematics of the vehicle at each instant of time. Experimental tests were carried out with the use of a Raspberry pi 3 b+ which is responsible for receiving the information from the sensors and then processed this information so that the control law allows sending the control actions to the actuators. Finally, the results are presented in order to be used for future research that will allow the implementation of a fully autonomous driving system.

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of judicial efficiency on financial leverage of 100 firms, listed on Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE), over the period of 2010- 2012. Data were collected from Balance Sheet Analysis issued by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and reports of Lahore High Court, based on 36 districts. The study also uses explanatory variables including profitability of firms, size of firms, tangibility of assets and growth opportunities that support the judicial efficiency to measure the financial leverage of firms. The results indicate that in worsening judicial system the size of firm, tangibility of assets, and profitability, all have a significant impact but negative relationship with leverage ratios. These results demonstrate in the light of pecking order theory. Only growth has positive significant impact on financial leverage of firms. Finally, result also indicates that the judicial efficiency has a negative relationship but non-significant with financial leverage. The study concludes by discussing policy implications.
