Biomass burning CO, PM and fuel consumption per unit burned area estimates derived across Africa using geostationary SEVIRI fire radiative power and Sentinel-5P CO data
Authors: Nguyen Hannah M. , He Jiangping , Wooster Martin J.
Published: February 2023

Abstract. We present the first top-down CO fire emissions inventory
for Africa based on the direct relation between geostationary
satellite-based fire radiative power (FRP) observations and polar-orbiting
satellite observations of total column carbon monoxide (TCCO). This work
significantly extends the previous Fire Radiative Energy Emissions (FREM)
approach that derived total particulate matter (TPM) emission coefficients
from FRP and aerosol optical depth (AOD) observations. The use of
satellite-based CO observations to derive biome-specific CO emission coefficients,
ECCOb, addresses key uncertainties in the use of AOD observations to
estimate fire-generated CO emissions including the requirement for a smoke
mass extinction coefficient in the AOD to TPM conversion and the large
variation in TPM emission factors – which are used to convert TPM emissions
to CO emissions. We use the FREM-derived CO emission coefficients to produce
a pan-African CO fire emission inventory spanning 2004 to 2019. Regional CO
emissions are in close agreement with the most recent version of
GFED(v4.1s), despite the two inventories using completely different
satellite datasets and methodologies. Dry matter consumed (DMC) and DMC per
unit burned area are generated from our CO emission inventory – the latter
using the 20 m resolution Sentinel-2 FireCCISFD burnt area (BA) product for
2019. We carry out an evaluation of our FREM-based CO emissions by using
them as input in the WRF-CMAQ chemical transport model and comparing
simulated TCCO fields to independent Sentinel-5P TROPOMI TCCO observations.
The results of this evaluation show FREM CO emissions to generally be in
good agreement with these independent measures – particularly in the case of
individual fire-generated CO plumes, where modelled in-plume CO was within
5 % of satellite observations with a coefficient of determination of 0.80.
Modelled and observed total CO, aggregated over the full model domain, are
within 4 % of each other, though localised regions show an overestimation
of modelled CO by up to 50 %. When compared to other evaluations of
current state-of-the-art fire emissions inventories, the FREM CO emission
inventory derived in this work shows some of the best agreement with
independent observations. Updates to previously published FREM TPM emissions
coefficients based on this methodology are also provided, along with a
similar evaluation as conducted for CO. The methodology described in this
work is forming the basis of a forthcoming near-real-time fire emissions
product from Meteosat to be issued by the EUMETSAT LSA SAF (https://landsaf.ipma.pt/en/, last access: 19 December 2022).
An improved model of shade-affected stream temperature in Soil & Water Assessment Tool
Authors: Noa-Yarasca Efrain , Babbar-Sebens Meghna , Jordan Chris
Published: February 2023

Abstract. Stream temperatures have been increasing worldwide, in
some cases reaching unsustainable levels for aquatic life. Riparian
revegetation has been identified as a strategy for managing stream
temperatures by blocking direct solar radiation. In this study, the effects
of riparian vegetation on stream temperatures were included within the Soil
& Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model through a shade factor parameter. An
equilibrium temperature approach was used to integrate the shade factor in
an energy balance context. The stream temperature sub-model was improved
using the new energy balance equation and integrated into SWAT. Unlike
existing models, the modified SWAT model enables improved
representation of two processes – mass and heat transfer – that influence
stream temperature change and enables simulation of shading and its effects
on stream temperatures at sub-basin scales. The updated SWAT model was
tested in Dairy McKay Watershed, OR, USA, for four scenarios: current
conditions of riparian vegetation, full restoration, efficient restoration,
and no vegetation. The model calibration under current riparian vegetation
showed good performance (Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency NSE > 0.74). Stream temperature reduction
and number of days with stream temperatures above survival limits (NDSTASL)
for aquatic species were also evaluated as measures of riparian shade
performance. Findings showed average temperature reductions of 0.91 ∘C (SD = 0.69 ∘C) and reductions in NDSTASL of 17.1 d over a year for full riparian restoration and average reductions of
0.86 ∘C (SD = 0.67 ∘C) and 16.2 d for efficient
restoration. Notwithstanding the similar benefits, efficient restoration was
14.4 % cheaper than full riparian vegetation restoration.
Tuning-in to tune out: Mediating engagement experiences with music on-the-go
Authors:   , Choo Jun Quan
Published: February 2023

Music moves people. People physicalize movement- tap their feet, play “air-piano” or imagine gestures through the use of portable music devices. This research investigates the interplay between people and music in the context of a daily long commute and in relation to portable music player devices, such as headphones. The research employed qualitative methods to understand a listener’s lived experience through devices they use in commute. Results suggest the importance of presence and flow as features identified from people moving to music during a train commute, and it suggests how portable music devices may be adapted for commute.
'It's about the humanity of nursing' Shifting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health education beyond white possession and towards a relational approac
Authors:   , Drummond Ali
Published: February 2023

This thesis critically explores the experiences of Indigenous and non-Indigenous academics who develop and deliver Indigenous health curricula for nursing disciplines and universities, who are committed to better servicing Indigenous peoples. This thesis presents and interprets three central concepts . The notion of ‘never turning off’ highlights the additional expectations bestowed upon academics teaching Indigenous health. That of ‘white possession’ and its operation, considers standardised frameworks intended to support academics, but instead are weaponised against academics to enhance efficiencies. Finally, it interprets how the process of ‘relational engagements’ with Indigenous peoples gave strength and protection to the academics.
Street art as a transforming agent of public space in Arab World. Case study of two artistic groups in Tunisia
Authors: Ketiti Awatef
Published: February 2023

The public space in the Arab World has historically been controlled and seized by political authorities. This appropriation has created a deep rift between citizens and public places. Nevertheless, since the beginning of the Arab revolutions, new youth art forms have emerged liberating the arts from traditional formalism and these have been transferred to open spaces making them accessible to the people. This research seeks to explore the youth street art that emerged during the Tunisian revolution, not only as an innovative artistic trend, but also as a social movement that claims a new kind of citizenship. It aims to analyze the philosophical and aesthetic purposes of street art and its role in the liberation of public space. The methodology is based on qualitative interviews and participant observation with members of two street art groups Ahl Al Kahf  and Fanni Raghman Anni  that emerged during the Tunisian revolution of 2011. The results reveal that the youth revolutionary artistic phenomenon represents a new creative project and constitutes a. intellectual and artistic rupture with the prevailing aesthetic practices.

Destellos de las cuentas de vidrio en el lenguaje de la Nueva España
Authors: Martins Torres Andreia
Published: February 2023

Este trabajo reflexiona sobre el significado de las cuentas de vidrio en el mundo hispánico a partir de sus expresiones lingüísticas. Se parte de la idea desarrollada por los sociólogos Peter Berger y Thomas Luckmann de que la realidad se construye a través de la interacción social y del lenguaje para acercarse a los diferentes ámbitos en que esas piezas participaron en la vida cotidiana de la Nueva España. De esa manera se pretende proporcionar un entendimiento más amplio del significado de estos objetos durante la modernidad. En ese momento las expresiones del castellano adquirieron nuevas formas bajo el flujo de importantes cambios interculturales que un análisis estrictamente histórico de la cultura material no logra captar. Al cambiar el enfoque e incorporar el análisis del lenguaje para interpretar la carga semántica de estos objetos en las expresiones del pasado, se aportan nuevas perspectivas bajo las cuales entender la difusión y uso de estas piezas entre personas de habla castellana.
A Review Article on an Appraisal of Maritime Laws as a Mechanism of Community Governance for Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Hussain Mazhar , Bhatti Shaukat Hussain
Published: February 2023

As a result of the world's reliance on the blue economy, approximately 80 to 90% of commerce is marine; we cannot lament the Maritime’s interlinking associations with joint stability, social governance, and sustainable development, even in the least environment. There are robust links between maritime laws and community governance. These relationships are concerned with both socioeconomic and sociopolitical stability. Despite regular legislation to protect marine interests, challenges still need to be solved, which can only be accomplished via collaborative governance subject to maritime security. It is well-known that the blue economy, closely related to marine safety, is a source for assuring economic strength. This research aims to conduct a descriptive evaluation using a qualitative technique to highlight the concerns and challenges of naval legislation involving social control. This review will explicitly discuss the possible measures to overcome and eradicate the existing flaws by making suggestions to ensure communal management for desired outcomes regarding sustainable development goals, as well as strapping and long-term improvement of the socioeconomic and sociopolitical affairs between the states. This research will also discuss potential measurements and methods for determining desirable results for present requirements and future demands for altering Pakistani society to achieve long-term development objectives.
THE DONALDSON FUTURO

Published: February 2023

Space Age aesthetic was manifest in the 1960s and embodied in plastic, prefabricated houses. After several decades, the acquisition and restoration of Futuro houses can be a challenging process. The freedoms in the implied promise of the Futuro houses are tested against realities of logistical and building codes for which non-standard solutions are required.
THE ‘SHELTER’ ALMOST SAVED BY HENDRICK DE KEYSER
Authors: Naldini Silvia
Published: February 2023

The ‘Shelter’ is a fantastic example of a circular plastic house with a diameter of 8 m that is somehow comparable to the ‘Futuro’. It was conceived by the Dutch interior architect Kor Aldershoff, who developed a prototype in glass-reinforced polyester (GRP) shells held on a metal frame (1971). This kind of house is unique for the Netherlands and therefore of great importance. The ‘Shelter’ was meant for providing a home for refugees in Africa. The prototype was light and could also float on water. The production of the metal supporting frame was entrusted to the Nederlandse Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (N.D.S.M.) in Amsterdam-Noord and the GRP parts to the firm Resicon in Medemblik. The hall, living room and one bedroom were arranged around an empty column for the disposal of rainwater.
APPROACHES TO PLASTIC HERITAGE
Authors: Pottgiesser Uta , Quist Wido
Published: February 2023

The Docomomo Journal looks back to a long history and has started as a ‘newsletter’ in in August 1989 to facilitate the communication among the young docomomo community. Since then, the responsibility for the journal has moved with the headquarters and each generation of the journal has developed its own characteristic and focus. Since 1993 the ‘newsletter’ evolved into a thematic journal, reflecting the archival and on-site research on Modern Movement materials, technologies and typologies executed by individual members and Specialist Committees. The journals 9-26 shed light on the conceptual and technological particularities of Modern Movement buildings and sites. During the ‘Paris Period’ the journals 27-41 created a unique overview about the diversity of Modern Movement around the world. Finally, when moving the headquarters to Barcelona and subsequently Lisbon the journal entered into a phase of broader theoretical reflection about the principles and foundations of Modern Movement displayed in the issues 41-65.
MULTIPLE MODERNITIES IN UKRAINE
Authors: Pottgiesser Uta , Quist Wido
Published: February 2023

When moving the Docomomo Headquarters to Delft in January 2022, it announced a new cycle of the Docomomo journal by turning the journal fully open access and by introducing a peer-review process. This allows for further scientific indexation of the journal and attracting a wider range of authors. In September 2022 the Docomomo Journal was indexed by Scopus and the issues 1-65 from 1990-2021 are available online in our Docomomo journal Archive. Since then, the Docomomo Journal 66 on Modern Plastic Heritage was published and with this Docomomo Journal 67 we are approaching the country that has dominated our political and cultural discussions in 2022: Ukraine. In January 2022 it was not predictable that national autonomy, human lives and cultural heritage are threatened and destroyed by Russian aggression that started on 24th February 2022. In March of this year, Docomomo International published the Solidarity Statement on Ukraine and has since then been working on this special issue on the Multiple Modernities in Ukraine.
Classification of anatomic structures in head and neck by CT-based radiomics
Authors:   All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India., N Gopishankar
Published: February 2023

Background and purpose: Radiomics features are used to identify disease types and predict therapy outcomes. However, how the radiomics features are different among different anatomical structures has never been investigated. Hence, we analyzed the radiomics features of 22 anatomical structures in the head and neck area in CT images. Furthermore, we studied whether CT radiomics can classify anatomical structures of the head and neck using unsupervised machine-learning techniques. Materials and methods: We obtained IMRT/VMAT treatment planning data from 36 patients treated for head and neck cancers in a single institution. There were 1357 contours of more than 22 anatomical structures drawn on planning CTs. We calculated 174 radiomics features using the SIBEX program. First, we tested whether the radiomics features of anatomical structures were unique enough to classify all contours into 22 groups. We then developed a two-stage clustering technique to classify 22 anatomic structures into sub-groups with similar physiological or biological characteristics. Results: The heatmap of 174 radiomics features of 22 anatomical structures showed a distinct difference among tumors and other healthy structures. Radiomics features have allowed us to identify the eyes, lens, submandibular, pituitary glands, and thyroids with over 90% accuracy. The two-stage clustering of 22 structures resulted in six subgroups, which shared common characteristics such as fatty and bony tissues. Conclusions: We have shown that anatomical structures in head and neck tumors have distinguishable radiomics features. We could observe similarities of features among subgroups of the structures. The results suggest that CT radiomics can help distinguish the biological characteristics of head and neck lesions.

Authors:   Department of Neurology, Military Hospital, Tunisia., Kouki Nesrine
Published: February 2023

Background: Ischemic stroke is the third cause of mortality in the world even though it decreased over the last decade, it remains a major etiology of a lifelong handicap. In fact, approximately one third of the patients will experience aphasia, a devastating impairment for the patient and his family. The language rehabilitation enable variant degrees of recovery and mild improvement occurs within the first six months but results still less efficient than desired. Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the effects of hyperbaric oxygenotherapy in post stroke aphasia during the chronic phase. Methods: We report a case series of 3 patients suffering from post-ischemic stroke Broca’s aphasia, all hospitalized and taken in charge in the neurology department of the military hospital of Tunis, between 2018 and 2020. Each patient had around 30 to 40 sessions of Hyperbaric Oxygenotherapy (HBO). The evaluation of the language was performed with the Montreal Toulouse MT 86 using the Arabic version before and after HBO. Results and discussion: Recovery after HBO was recorded in the three patients with the improvement of variant dimension of the language: Output of spontaneous speech besides oral and written expression. HBO through hyperoxia, induces several effects permitting the restoration of cerebral cell metabolism and blood brain barrier structure. Conclusion: The presented results suggest that HBO could be an efficient and reliable therapy that helps recover from post stroke aphasia sequelae. Even though its mechanisms aren’t well elucidated, further studies are needed to confirm its benefits.
A case report on the abscopal effect of liver-directed GRID radiotherapy
Authors:   Division of Radiation Oncology, National Cancer Centre Singapore 169610, Singapore., Fuqiang Wang
Published: February 2023

GRID radiotherapy is a form of spatially fractionated radiotherapy that allows delivery of high radiation doses to bulky tumours. A grid splits the beam into multiple beamlets to give a heterogenous dose to the tumour, while stimulating the immune system to improve tumour response through the abscopal effect. However, this has fallen out of favour in recent times due to the presence of more modern techniques. Here we present a case of a large liver metastasis from a rectal neuroendocrine primary treated with GRID radiotherapy with an abscopal response seen in a portal vein tumour thrombus.

Why the FIFA Men's World Cup in Qatar Should not be Boycotted by Rich Countries from the Global North
Authors: Sønderholm Jørn
Published: February 2023

This article defends the conclusion that the soccer World Cup in Qatar should not be boycotted by rich countries from the Global North. This conclusion is underpinned by considerations about the economic background conditions in guest workers’ home countries. Three arguments are considered for the view that the World Cup should be boycotted. It is argued that each of these arguments is unsound. Section 7 contains a discussion of an argument for a boycott that centers on the process through which Qatar was awarded the World Cup. This argument is rejected. The article lists several ways in which guest workers in Qatar are wronged, but this fact about how guest workers are treated does not justify a boycott by rich countries from the Global North.

The effect of feeding Albino rats with diets composed of oils extracted from raw and processed conophor nuts on the blood serum lipid profile and organ histology were evaluated in this study. Freshly harvested conophor nuts were processed by cooking (at 100 oC for 90 minutes) and toasting (at 145 oC for 50 minutes). Oils extracted from the raw and processed nuts and commercially available soybean oil were fed to four groups of albino rats (each group consisted of five rats) over an experimental period of twenty-eight days after acclimatization. The serum lipid profile [Total cholesterol (TC), α-Lipoprotein (HDL-C), β-Lipoprotein (LDL-C) and Triglycerides (TG)] of the blood obtained from the animals upon sacrifice was determined. Organs (heart and liver) excised from the animals were subjected to histological assay. The serum lipid profile results showed that the parameters were within safe limits. Photomicrographs obtained from the histopathological assay showed that organs from the animals fed on oil from cooked conophor maintained normal histology. Oil from cooked conophor samples gave the best biochemical results compared to oils from both raw and toasted nuts with respect to the effects of consumption on the serum lipid biomarkers and organ histology.

Published: February 2023

Albuminuria is the most characteristic marker of diabetic nephropathy (DN), which is a diabetic complication associated with DN progression. However, renal functions decreased by about one-third of diabetic patients before the occurrence of albuminuria. We study the role of telomere length (TL) of blood leukocytes, some inflammatory markers in the progression of DN in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Volunteers were selected and distributed into four groups: group 1 included 20 healthy subjects as control, group 2: 20 T1D patients with albumin excretion rate (AER) < 30 mg/gm creatinine, group 3: 15 T1D patients with (300 > AER > 30 mg/gm creatinine), group 4: 15 T1D patients with (AER > 300 mg/gm creatinine) and group 5 (DN group), which is a collective group between group 3 and group 4. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), serum urea, creatinine, malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-OHdG, and TL in leukocytes were measured.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a neuro-developmental disorder that is mainly characterized by social interaction impairments. Health-related challenges including weight abnormalities and hormonal impairment seem to have a higher prevalence in ASD individuals. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of aquatic training and diet modification according to recommended guidelines on endocrine-related indicators including growth parameters and IGF-1 in teenage and young individuals with ASD. Methods: 5 individuals diagnosed with ASD (age = 14.86 ± 1.22) participated in regular aquatic sessions for 12 weeks, 2 sessions per week which lasted 60 min in each session. Body weight, stature, body mass index (BMI), and IGF-1 were measured before and after the study. Caregivers and healthcare centers to which the participants were referred for their therapeutic purposes, were given booklets and brochures regarding nutritional recommendations published by health authorities. Results: All of the participants were overweight (BMI = 27.98 ± 1.44). There was a significant improvement in body weight, BMI, and IGF-1 levels after the study (p ≤0.05). Although, there was no significant improvement in dietary pattern (p = 0.3) despite reported improvements recorded by families regarding food variety and consumed food groups. Conclusion: Aquatic training and diet modification can improve growth and health-related indicators in individuals with ASD.

Cryptocurrency is a technology that uses an encrypted peer-to-peer network to facilitate digital barter. Bitcoin, the first and most popular cryptocurrency, is paving the way as a disruptive technology to long-standing and unchanging financial payment systems. While cryptocurrencies are unlikely to replace traditional fiat currency, they have the potential to alter how Internet-connected global markets interact with one another, removing the restrictions that exist around traditional national currencies and exchange rates. Technology advances at a breakneck pace, and a technology's success is almost entirely determined by the market it tries to improve. Cryptocurrencies have the potential to change digital trade marketplaces by enabling a fee-free trading mechanism. A SWOT analysis of Bitcoin is offered, which highlights some of the recent events and movements that may have an impact on whether Bitcoin contributes to a paradigm change in economics. Cryptocurrency is a relatively new payment option, and users are naturally drawn to it because it offers privacy. To measure the impact of cryptocurrency on the world payment system, we use a Cryptocurrency extra data – Bitcoin. The proposed algorithm uses Random Forest Algorithm for prediction. The RFPA has achieved a 0.073 MSE. The RFPA has achieved the best results as it can handle huge datasets with a lot of dimensionality. It improves the model's accuracy and eliminates the problem of overfitting. When compared to other algorithms, it takes less time to train.

Wireless networks are considered a hot topic in dealing with data without need to routers or other infrastructures. Each node has a part of routing responsibility. This result to a huge of data in forwarding to other nodes and will need high speed to process. Photonic crystal applications come to solve the necessity for such speed with small circuitry area. One of the main factors that affect their operation is the structure topology. Ring resonator, cavity based structures, self-collimation, and waveguide approaches are some of these topologies. OR gate is proposed in this paper to be simulated and evaluated as one of the basic element block. This design is built on a square lattice- photonic crystal construction on a ring resonator basis. Rotation of 90, 180, and 270 degrees are applied in clockwise direction. Sensitivity analysis, and carefully rod locations are considered to obtain remarkable performance. Minimum size and highly data rate are two characteristics that discriminates this design. The minimum size of 51.48 μm2 is obtained. The bit rates of 1.35, 6.35, 3.2, and 2.53 Tbs are calculated with the 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees, respectively. Comparison table is well organized for the recently published photonic crystal OR-gate that based on ring resonator. Finite difference time domain and Plan wave expansion method are used to analyze the proposed structure at 1.55μm wavelength to verify OR- gate operation.

The Internet of Things (IoT) will be able to integrate a wide range of various and heterogeneous end systems transparently and smoothly, while also offering open access to chosen subsets of data for the creation of a wide range of digital services. Solid waste management, which apart upsetting the ecological balance also has negative consequences on societal health, has been one of the key environmental issues. One of the main issues in the modern era is the identification, monitoring of wastes. The conventional method of manually checking the wastes in bins requires more human labor, takes longer, and costs more money. It is in no way compatible with modern technologies. This is a cutting-edge approach to automated garbage management. This project IoT Garbage Monitoring system is a very innovative system which will help greatly in preserving the environment and also makes us benefit from garbage and sell it on form raw materials to be recycled again by recycling factories. System is linked to an android application to show us the current level of each type of garbage using Ultrasonic Sensor and give a warning when the level of any of them is filled.

The performance in most of the National Government departments in Kenya has been average over the years leading to disparities in access to resources and quality services. There is scanty literature on leadership practices and the performance of the departments available. Thus, this study assessed the influence of leadership practices on the performance of the departments moderated by stakeholder involvement. The study adopted quantitative and qualitative mixed research design guided by positivism research philosophy. It used a validated semi – structured questionnaire for data collection from a sample of 195 respondents drawn from National Government Heads of Departments in the Counties. The resultant data was analyzed to generate descriptive and inferential statistics which were used to draw inferences. The study established that leadership practices significantly influence the performance of departments in the National Government of Kenya moderated by stakeholder involvement. To improve on the performance, the management should review the stakeholder involvement management and the leadership practices adopted with a view of re – engineering the implementation process to provide for a performance improvement framework. The respondents were drawn from the National Government Departments in the Counties which excluded the views of Heads of Departments based at the headquarters of the National Government Departments. This is the first study on leadership practices, stakeholder involvement and performance of the National Government departments in Kenya to the best of the researchers. It added knowledge on the leadership practices and stakeholder involvement influence on the performance of public sector organizations.

Trabalhar os conteúdos de botânica em sala de aula tem sido um desafio para os docentes, bem como para o aprendizado dos discentes. Os professores, em sua maioria, demonstram não ter afinidade com o conteúdo, ou não saber utilizar dos espaços não formais para tornarem suas aulas lúdicas, melhorando assim o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Os alunos, assim como a população em sua maioria, vivenciam o termo Cegueira Botânica que impossibilita visualizar as espécies de plantas como essenciais e importantes no meio ambiente e visualizá-las como uma paisagem inanimada no espaço. Dessa forma, 30 alunos da turma de Automação Industrial do Instituto Federal do Maranhão, campus Monte Castelo foram levados ao Parque Botânico da Vale em São Luís – MA para que pudessem enxergar o mundo vegetal de outra maneira e aprender botânica de forma inusitada e prática: contemplando uma trilha com diversas plantas nativas e presentes no dia a dia dos alunos. Os resultados foram positivos, tendo assim, a aula de campo contribuído para a melhora do ensino de botânica, tornando os alunos mais perceptivos ao ambiente, auxiliando-os a diferenciar as espécies vegetais, entender seu papel no ambiente e no cotidiano.
