Modeling Thai Concentrated Latex Sector
Authors: Vajrapatkul Adirek
Published: July 2023

This study aims to identify the factors that influence the dynamics of key variables, particularly output, price, and employment, in the concentrated latex sector. To this end, a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) approach is utilized and a Bayesian estimation method is employed using monthly data from the Office of Industrial Economics database for domestic price, demand, and export of concentrate latex from January 2016 to January 2022, with a total of 61 observations. The results suggest that a technological shock increases output and employment while reducing output price. The cost related shocks, on the other hand, decrease output and employment while increasing output price. Furthermore, external shocks cause a shift in imports and exports and domestic final prices of concentrated latex. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to enhance technology, labor skills, and the domestic concentrated latex industry's capacity.

Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) is a common gastroenterological emergency associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Gastroenterologists and other involved clinicians are generally assisted by international guidelines in its management. However, NVUGIB due to peptic ulcer disease only is mainly addressed by current guidelines, with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy being recommended as the gold standard modality for both diagnosis and treatment. Conversely, the management of rare and extraordinary rare causes of NVUGIB is not covered by current guidelines. Given they are frequently life-threatening conditions, all the involved clinicians, that is emergency physicians, diagnostic and interventional radiologists, surgeons, in addition obviously to gastroenterologists, should be aware of and familiar with their management. Indeed, they typically require a prompt diagnosis and treatment, engaging a dedicated, patient-tailored, multidisciplinary team approach. The aim of our review was to extensively summarize the current evidence with regard to the management of rare and extraordinary rare causes of NVUGIB.

Nutritional Value, and Heavy Metal Contents of Fish from the Lower River Niger at Agenebode, Edo State, Nigeria
Authors: Agbugui Marian Onwude , Inobeme Abel
Published: July 2023

Fish constitutes a vital component of human diets due to their rich nutritional compositions. They serve as a remarkable source of proteins, vitamins, and fatty acids, which are indispensable for the effective growth and development of humans. The need to explore the nutritional compositions of various species of fish in different water bodies becomes paramount. Presently, consumer concern is not just on food's nutritional value but also on the safety level. Environmental contamination by heavy metals has become an issue of pressing concern in recent times. Heavy metals, due to their ubiquitous nature, are found in various water bodies as they are released from various anthropogenic activities. This work investigated the proximate compositions, mineral contents, and heavy metals concentrations of four different species of fish (P. annectens, L. niloticus, G. niloticus, and H. niloticus) collected from the lower Niger at Agenebode using standard procedures. The highest protein contents were in Gymnarchus niloticus (37.32%), while the least was in Heterotis niloticus (20.41%). Protopterus annectens had the highest carbohydrate content (34.55%), while Heterotis niloticus had the least (12.24%). The highest lipid content (14.41%) was in Gymnarchus niloticus. The highest concentration of potassium was 21.00 ppm. The concentrations of heavy metals in ppm ranged from 0.01 – 1.4 (Cd), 0.07 – 2.89 (Pb), 0.02 – 16.4 (Hg), 0.88 – 5.1 (Cu) and 1.2 – 8.23 (Zn). The concentrations of Hg, Cd and Pb in some of the samples investigated were higher than the permissible limits based on international standards. There is a pressing need for further study focusing on various species of animals and plants in the area due to the alarming contents of these metals; remedial measures could also be ensured for safety.

Hyponatremia and hyperglycemia are common metabolic disorders which could worsen the outcome after a cerebrovascular accident (stroke). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of hyponatremia and hyperglycemia on stroke and its clinical outcome, including morbidity and mortality.
This prospective cohort study included 50 stroke patients admitted in tertiary care hospitals. Stroke severity, Glasgow coma scale (GCS), conscious level, gag reflex, clinical presentations, and outcomes were recorded. Following a stroke, patients were monitored for a period of six months, during which the patient's death was recorded on the event form. Linear logistic regression model was used to determine the stroke mortality. Hyponatremia and hyperglycaemia were associated with higher odds ratio of deaths, poor functional recovery, severe disability, low mean GCS score as compared to normonatremic and normoglycemic patients (odds ratio [OR] = 4.7; 95% CI= 0.929-43.782) and hyperglycaemia (OR= 2.74; 95% CI=0.577-13.03). Stroke patients admitted with hyperglycemia or hyponatremia were associated with greater morbidity and mortality and poor functional recovery.

Satellite Optical Brightness
Authors: Fankhauser Forrest , Tyson J. Anthony , Askari Jacob
Published: July 2023

The apparent brightness of satellites is calculated as a function of satellite position as seen by a ground-based observer in darkness. Both direct illumination of the satellite by the Sun as well as indirect illumination due to reflection from the Earth are included. The reflecting properties of the satellite components and of the Earth must first be estimated (the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function, or BRDF). The reflecting properties of the satellite components can be found directly using lab measurements or accurately inferred from multiple observations of a satellite at various solar angles. Integrating over all scattering surfaces leads to the angular pattern of flux from the satellite. Finally, the apparent brightness of the satellite as seen by an observer at a given location is calculated as a function of satellite position. We develop an improved model for reflection of light from Earth’s surface using aircraft data. We find that indirectly reflected light from Earth’s surface contributes significant increases in apparent satellite brightness. This effect is particularly strong during civil twilight. We validate our approach by comparing our calculations to multiple observations of selected Starlink satellites and show significant improvement on previous satellite brightness models. Similar methodology for predicting satellite brightness has already informed mitigation strategies for next-generation Starlink satellites. Measurements of satellite brightness over a variety of solar angles widens the effectiveness of our approach to virtually all satellites. We demonstrate that an empirical model in which reflecting functions of the chassis and the solar panels are fit to observed satellite data performs very well. This work finds application in satellite design and operations, and in planning observatory data acquisition and analysis.

We present a study of the [O iii] λ5007 line profile in a subsample of eight active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and six non-AGNs in the optically selected green valley at z < 0.5 using long-slit spectroscopic observations obtained with the 11 m Southern African Large Telescope. Gaussian decomposition of the line profile was performed to study its different components. We observe that the AGN profiles are more complex than the non-AGN ones. In particular, in most AGNs (5/8) we detect a blue wing of the line. We derive the FWHM velocities of the wing and systemic component, and find that the AGNs show higher FWHM velocities than the non-AGNs in their core component. We also find that the AGNs show blue wings with a median velocity width of approximately 600 km s−1, and a velocity offset from the core component in the range −90 to −350 km s−1, in contrast to the non-AGN galaxies, where we do not detect blue wings in any of their [O iii] λ5007 line profiles. Using the spatial information in our spectra, we show that at least three of the outflow candidate galaxies have centrally driven gas outflows extending across the whole galaxy. Moreover, these are also the galaxies which are located on the main sequence of star formation, raising the possibility that the AGNs in our sample are influencing the star formation of their host galaxies (such as positive feedback). This is in agreement with our previous work where we studied the star formation, morphology, and stellar population properties of a sample of green valley AGNs and non-AGN galaxies.

Relativistic magnetic reconnection is a nonideal plasma process that is a source of nonthermal particle acceleration in many high-energy astrophysical systems. Particle-in-cell (PIC) methods are commonly used for simulating reconnection from first principles. While much progress has been made in understanding the physics of reconnection, especially in 2D, the adoption of advanced algorithms and numerical techniques for efficiently modeling such systems has been limited. With the GPU-accelerated PIC code WarpX, we explore the accuracy and potential performance benefits of two advanced Maxwell solver algorithms: a nonstandard finite-difference scheme (CKC) and an ultrahigh-order pseudo-spectral method (PSATD). We find that, for the relativistic reconnection problem, CKC and PSATD qualitatively and quantitatively match the standard Yee-grid finite-difference method. CKC and PSATD both admit a time step that is 40% longer than that of Yee, resulting in a ∼40% faster time to solution for CKC, but no performance benefit for PSATD when using a current deposition scheme that satisfies Gauss’s law. Relaxing this constraint maintains accuracy and yields a 30% speedup. Unlike Yee and CKC, PSATD is numerically stable at any time step, allowing for a larger time step than with the finite-difference methods. We found that increasing the time step 2.4–3 times over the standard Yee step still yields accurate results, but it only translates to modest performance improvements over CKC, due to the current deposition scheme used with PSATD. Further optimization of this scheme will likely improve the effective performance of PSATD.

Large-scale surveys will provide spectroscopy for ∼50 million resolved stars in the Milky Way and Local Group. However, these data will have a high degree of heterogeneity and most will be low-resolution (R < 10,000), posing challenges to measuring consistent and reliable stellar labels. Here, we introduce a framework for identifying and remedying these issues. By simultaneously fitting the full spectrum and Gaia photometry with the Payne, we measure ∼30 abundances for eight metal-poor red giants in M15. From degraded quality Keck/HIRES spectra, we evaluate trends with resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and find that (i) ∼20 abundances are recovered consistently within ≲0.1 dex agreement and with ≲0.05–0.15 dex systematic uncertainties from 10,000 ≲ R ≲ 80,000; (ii) for nine elements (C, Mg, Ca, Sc, Ti, Fe, Ni, Y, and Nd), this systematic precision and accuracy extends down to R ∼ 2500; and (iii) while most elements do not exhibit strong S/N-dependent systematics, there are nonnegligible biases for four elements (C, Mg, Ca, and Dy) below S/N ∼ 10 pixel−1. We compare statistical uncertainties from Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling to the easier-to-compute Cramér–Rao bounds and find that they agree for ∼85% of elements, indicating the latter to be a reliable and faster way to estimate uncertainties. Our analysis illustrates the great promise of low-resolution spectroscopy for stellar chemical abundance work in the low-metallicity regime, and ongoing improvements to stellar models (e.g., 3D-NLTE physics) will only further extend its viability to more stars, more elements, and higher precision and accuracy.

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a two-element interferometer operating in the millimeter-wave band (39.5–40 GHz) for observing solar radio emissions through nulling interference. The system is composed of two 50 cm aperture Cassegrain antennas installed on a common equatorial mount, with a separation of 230 wavelengths. The cross-correlation of the received signals effectively cancels out the quiet solar component of the high flux density (∼3000 sfu) that reduces the detection limit due to atmospheric fluctuations. The system performance is as follows: the noise factor of the analog front end in the observation band is less than 2.1 dB, system sensitivity is approximately 12.4 K (∼34 sfu) with an integration time constant of 0.1 ms (default), the frequency resolution is 153 kHz, and the dynamic range is ≥30 dB. Through actual testing, the nulling interferometer observes a quiet Sun with a low level of output fluctuations (up to 50 sfu) and has a significantly lower radiation flux variability (up to 190 sfu) than an equivalent single-antenna system, even under thick cloud cover. As a result, this new design can effectively improve observation sensitivity by reducing the impact of atmospheric and system fluctuations during observation.

The globally endangered saker falcon (Falco cherrug) is currently being re-introduced in Bulgaria, where the falcons are bred in captivity and released through the hacking method. We relied on the birds’ pedigree when forming the breeding pairs from 2011. In 2021-2022, we had the opportunity to evaluate our captive population via DNA tests. We performed the first genetic assessment of the sakers in the WRBC through a genome evaluation of the most important founders (n = 12) and, in 2022, we executed a microsatellite analysis on 30 saker falcons from the programme. We compared the results with the known pedigree and history of the saker falcons. The genetic tests helped to assign relatedness to some birds with missing or incomplete pedigrees, indicating the test can complement that information and lead to better management of the captive group. One pair was separated as a precaution as it was indicated by one the tests that the two birds are more closely related than expected. The research could be beneficial to other raptor captive breeding programmes dealing with a similar group composition.
Numerical simulation analysis for the effect of water content on the intelligent compaction quality of roadbed

In the process of intelligent compaction of roadbeds, the water content of the roadbed is one of the important influencing factors of compaction quality. In order to analyze the effect of water content on the compaction quality of roadbeds, this paper is developed by secondary development of Abaqus finite element numerical simulation software. At the same time, the artificial viscous boundary was set to eliminate the influence of boundary conditions on the results in the finite element modeling process, so that the numerical simulation can be refined to model. On this basis, the dynamic response analysis of the roadbed compaction process is performed on the finite element numerical simulation results. This paper established the correlation between compaction degree and intelligent compaction index CMV (Compaction Meter Value) and then analyzed the effect of water content on the compaction quality for the roadbed. The results of this paper show that the amplitude of the vertical acceleration is almost independent of the moisture content, and the vertical displacement mainly occurs in the static compaction stage. The vertical displacement changes sharply in the first 0.5 s when the vibrating wheel is in contact with the roadbed. The main stage of roadbed compaction quality increase is before the end of the first compaction. At the end of the first compaction, the roadbed compaction degree increased rapidly from 80% to 91.68%, 95.34% and 97.41%, respectively. With the increase in water content, the CMV gradually increased. At the end of the second compaction, CMV increased slightly compared with that at the end of the first compaction and stabilized at the end of the second compaction. The water content of the roadbed should be considered to be set slightly higher than the optimal water content of the roadbed by about 1% during the construction of the roadbed within the assumptions of this paper.
Two-sided jumps risk model with proportional investment and random observation periods

In this paper, we consider a two-sided jumps risk model with proportional investments and random observation periods. The downward jumps represent the claim while the upward jumps represent the random returns. Suppose an insurance company invests all of their surplus in risk-free and risky investments in proportion. In real life, corporate boards regularly review their accounts rather than continuously monitoring them. Therefore, we assume that insurers regularly observe surplus levels to determine whether they will ruin and that the random observation periods are exponentially distributed. Our goal is to study the Gerber-Shiu function (i.e., the expected discounted penalty function) of the two-sided jumps risk model under random observation. First, we derive the integral differential equations (IDEs) satisfied by the Gerber-Shiu function. Due to the difficulty in obtaining explicit solutions for the IDEs, we utilize the sinc approximation method to obtain the approximate solution. Second, we analyze the error between the approximate and explicit solutions and find the upper bound of the error. Finally, we discuss examples of sensitivity analysis.
Trajectoires biographiques de femmes victimes d’inceste : une vulnérabilité pérenne face aux violences ?
Authors: Hervouet Lucile
Published: July 2023

Cet article s’intéresse à l’intrication des violences subies durant l’enfance et à leur répétition à l’âge adulte. Une recherche en Polynésie française par méthode mixte a permis de retracer les trajectoires de femmes victimes d’inceste. Durant l’enfance, les violences sexuelles ont tendance à se cumuler avec des violences physiques. Parfois, les violences se répètent à l’âge adulte, dans la sphère conjugale notamment. Les femmes interrogées s’en sentent en partie responsables et appréhendent leur vulnérabilité sous l’angle de dispositions individuelles. L’approche sociologique permet de critiquer l’idée selon laquelle les personnes victimes d’inceste pâtiraient d’une vulnérabilité intrinsèque, indépendamment de leurs appartenances sociales. Isolement, dépendance matérielle et affective, et déstabilisation morale – processus eux-mêmes liés à l’inceste –, structurent le risque de revictimation.

Published: July 2023

The breakout of the Covid-19 toward the end of 2019 sent shockwaves across the world. To prevent the spread of the disease and save lives, many countries have resorted to observing country-wide lockdowns, damaging the normalcy of their economy. As a result, the world economy lost trillions of dollars during this period. The renewable energy sector, too, was not spared from being affected by the pandemic. An amalgamation of the effects of the pandemic on the global economy and fluctuating oil prices resulting from country-wide lockdowns across the world further triggered its impact on the renewable energy industry. This chapter highlights the challenges that the energy sector has experienced due to the pandemic in terms of raw material availability, supply chain, market uncertainty, employment, and energy security.
