Artikkeli tarkastelee kvantifiointia eli numeroiden tuottamista ja käyttöä feministisen talousvaikuttamisen käytäntönä. Kvantifioinnista on tullut keskeinen yhteiskuntaelämää kuvaava ja tuottava käytäntö, ja sillä on keskeinen rooli myös poliittisessa päätöksenteossa. Artikkeli tutkii kvantifiointia feministisessä talouspoliittisessa vaikuttamisessa, joka pyrkii tuomaan sukupuoli- ja tasa-arvonäkökulmia talouspoliittiseen keskusteluun ja päätöksentekoon. Se tarkastelee kvantifiointia episteemisenä hallintana, jolla pyritään muutokseen vaikuttamalla käsityksiin taloudesta ja talouspolitiikasta, käsityksiin ihmisistä talouden ja talouspolitiikana osana sekä arvoihin taloudesta ja talouspolitiikasta. Artikkeli osoittaa kvantifioinnin käytäntöjen jännitteisyyden feministisessä talousvaikuttamisessa: kvantifiointi tekee näkyväksi sukupuolittuneita talouden ja yhteiskunnan suhteita mutta suuntaa politiikkaa mitattavuuden logiikan mukaisesti; se lisää joidenkin feminististen äänten kuuluvuutta mutta vahvistaa asiantuntijavaltaa politiikassa; se tuo tunteet ja arvot talouspoliittiseen keskusteluun mutta jättää arvot tiedon tuottamisen taustalla keskustelujen ulkokehälle.

Abstract. In this study, we investigate the fully multivariate state and parameter estimation through idealised simulations of a dynamic-only model that uses the novel Maxwell-Elasto-Brittle (MEB) sea ice rheology and in which we estimate not only the sea ice concentration, thickness and velocity, but also its level of damage, internal stress and cohesion. Specifically, we estimate the air drag coefficient and the so-called damage parameter of the MEB model. Mimicking the realistic observation network with different combinations of observations, we demonstrate that various issues can potentially arise in a complex sea ice model especially in instances for which the external forcing dominates the model forecast error growth. Even though further investigation will be needed using an operational (a coupled dynamics-thermodynamics) sea ice model, we show that, with the current observation network, it is possible to improve both the observed and unobserved model state forecast and parameters accuracy.

Abstract. Biomass burning plumes are frequently transported over the Southeast Atlantic stratocumulus deck during the southern African fire season (June–October). The plumes bring large amounts of absorbing aerosols as well as enhanced moisture, which can trigger a rich set of aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions with climatic consequences that are still poorly understood. We use large-eddy simulation (LES) to explore and disentangle the individual impacts of aerosols and moisture on the underlying stratocumulus clouds, the marine boundary layer (MBL) evolution and the stratocumulus to cumulus transition (SCT) for three different meteorological situations over the Southeast Atlantic during August 2017. For all three cases, our LES shows that the SCT is driven by increased sea surface temperatures and cloud-top entrainment as the air is advected towards the equator. In the LES model, aerosol indirect effects, including impacts on drizzle production, have a small influence on the modeled cloud evolution and SCT, even when aerosol concentrations are lowered to background concentrations. In contrast, local semi-direct effects, i.e aerosol absorption of solar radiation in the MBL, causes a reduction in cloud cover that can lead to a speed-up of the SCT, in particular during daytime and during broken cloud conditions, especially in highly polluted situations. The largest impact on the radiative budget comes from aerosol impacts on cloud albedo; the plume with absorbing aerosols produces a total average net radiative cooling effect between -4 and -9 W m-2 over the three days of simulations. We find that the moisture accompanying the aerosol plume produces an additional cooling effect that is about as large as the total aerosol radiative effect. Overall, there is still a large uncertainty associated with the radiative and cloud evolution effects of biomass burning aerosols. A comparison between different models in a common framework, combined with constraints from in-situ observations, could help to reduce the uncertainty.

Abstract. We investigate how cloud retrieval errors due to the threedimensional (3D) radiative effects affect broadband cloud radiative effects (CRE). A framework based on the combination of large eddy simulations (LES) and radiative transfer (RT) models was developed to simulate both onedimensional (1D) and 3D radiance, and shortwave (SW) broadband fluxes. Results show that the broadband SW fluxes reflected at top-of-the-domain, transmitted at the surface, and absorbed in the atmosphere, computed from the cloud retrievals using 1D-RT (called “1D-RT+retrieved clouds”) can provide reasonable broadband radiative energy estimates in comparison with those derived from the true cloud fields using 1D-RT (called “1D-RT+true clouds”). The difference between these 1D-RT simulated fluxes (1D-RT+retrieved clouds simulations, 1D-RT+true clouds simulations) and the benchmark 3D-RT simulations from the true cloud field (called “3D-RT+true clouds”), depends primarily on the horizontal transport of photons in 3D-RT, whose characteristics vary with the Sun’s geometry. When the solar zenith angle (SZA) is 5°, the domain-averaged fluxes simulated based on the 1D-RT+retrieved clouds are in excellent agreement with the 3D-RT+true clouds results, all within 7 % relative CRE bias. When the SZA is 60°, the differences between the results from the 1D-RT+retrieved clouds and 3D-RT+true clouds are determined by how the cloud side-illumination and shadowing effects offset each other in the radiance, retrieval, and broadband fluxes. This study suggests that although the cloud property retrievals based on the 1D-RT theory may be biased due to the 3D radiative effects, they still provide an observational basis for the estimation of broadband fluxes.
On the spatial calibration of imperfect climate models
Authors: Peatier Saloua , Sanderson Benjamin M. , Terray Laurent
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The calibration of Earth System Model parameters is subject to both data, time and computational constraints. The high dimensionality of this calibration problem, combined with errors which arise from model structural assumptions makes it impossible to find model versions fully consistent with historical observations, with the potential for multiple plausible configurations which make different tradeoffs between skill in different variables or spatial regions. In this study, we lay out a formalism for making different assumptions about how ensemble variability in a Perturbed Physics Ensemble (PPE) relates to model error, proposing an empirical but practical solution for finding diverse near-optimal solutions. We argue that the effective degrees of freedom in model performance response to parameter input (the ’parametric component’ ) is, in fact, relatively small, illustrating why manual calibration is often able to find near-optimal solutions. Comparison with a perturbed initial condition ensemble reveals that internal variability associated with this parametric component of model error is negligible. Finally, there is a potential for comparably performing parameter configurations making different trade-offs in model errors. These alternative configurations can inform model development and could potentially lead to significantly different future climate evolution.

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Spatial and temporal distribution of water and nitrogen supply affects soil-borne nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. In this study, the effects of different irrigation technologies (no irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation) and nitrogen (N) application types (broadcasted and dissolved in irrigation water) on N2O emissions and the potentially underlying, genetically determined microbial processes were investigated over an entire season in potato cropping. N2O fluxes were highest during the first half of the season and mostly affected by the applied water volume rather than the N application types. The comparison of the different water application types revealed that nitrifier denitrification might potentially be the dominant source of N2O emissions, especially under sprinkler irrigation. The type of N fertilizer supply, broadcasted application or dissolved in irrigation water, showed only minor differences in the potential microbial community functionality. N2O production in both treatments was most likely also dominated by nitrifier denitrification, while the process of denitrification might be feasible too. Even though the current agronomic management measures generally meet the crop demand of water and N, it might be recommendable to adapt the time of application considering that potatoes mainly require N at later growth stages which could also reduce N2O emissions at the same time.

Abstract. The study of aerosol in high mountain regions is essential because particulate matter can play a role in altering the energy balance of high mountain regions, and aerosols can accelerate glacier melting in high mountain areas by darkening the ice surface, reducing its reflectivity (albedo). Studying aerosols in high mountain areas provides insights into long-range transport of pollutants, atmospheric dynamics, and climate change impacts. These regions can serve as valuable observatories for studying atmospheric processes. The main aim of this paper is to define the main sources of aerosol over an entire year of sampling at the Col Margherita Atmospheric Observatory (MRG 46° 22’ 0.059’’ N, 11° 47’ 30.911’’ E, 2543 m a.s.l.), a high-altitude background site in the Eastern Italian Alps. Here, we discuss the potential origins of more than one hundred chemical markers (major ions, water soluble organic compounds, trace elements, rare earth elements) using different approaches. Some diagnostic ratios were applied, but source apportionment using Positive Matrix Factorization was used to define the main inputs of PM10 collected at this high-altitude site. Moreover, a characterization of the air masses helped us to confirm the aerosol sources.
A High-Resolution Calving Front Data Product for Marine-Terminating Glaciers in Svalbard

Published: October 2023

Abstract. The mass loss of glaciers outside the polar ice sheets has been accelerating during the past several decades and has been contributing to global sea-level rise. However, many of the mechanisms of this mass loss process are not well understood, especially the calving dynamics of marine-terminating glaciers, in part due to a lack of high-resolution calving front observations. Svalbard is an ideal site to study the climate sensitivity of glaciers as it is a region that has been undergoing amplified climate variability in both space and time compared to the global mean. Here we present a new high-resolution calving front dataset of 149 marine-terminating glaciers in Svalbard, comprising 124919 glacier calving front positions during the period of 1985–2023 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8399899) (Li et al., 2023). This dataset was generated using a novel automated deep learning framework and multiple optical and SAR satellite images from Landsat, Terra-ASTER, Sentinel-2, and Sentinel-1 satellite missions. The overall calving front mapping uncertainty across Svalbard is 46 ± 21 m. The newly derived calving front dataset agrees well with recent decadal calving front observations between 2000 and 2020 (Kochtitzky and Copland, 2022) and an annual calving front dataset between 2008 and 2022 (Moholdt et al., 2022). The R2 of the glacier calving front change rates between our product and the latter is 0.98, indicating an excellent match. Using this new calving front dataset, we identified widespread calving front retreats during the past three decades, across most regions in Svalbard except for a handful of glaciers draining the ice caps Vestfonna and Austfonna on Nordaustlandet. In addition, we identified complex patterns of glacier surging events overlaid with seasonal calving cycles. These data and findings provide insights into understanding glacier calving mechanisms and drivers. This new dataset can help improve estimates of glacier frontal ablation as a component of the integrated mass balance of marine-terminating glaciers.
Dynamic performance of a passively self-adjusting floating wind farm layout to increase the annual energy production

Published: October 2023

Abstract. One of the main differences between floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) and fixed-bottom turbines is the angular and translational motions of FOWTs. When it comes to planning a floating wind farm (FWF), the translational motions introduce an additional layer of complexity to the FWF layout. The ability of a FOWT to relocate its position represents an opportunity to mitigate wake losses within an FWF. By passively relocating downwind turbines out of the wake generated by upwind turbines, we can reduce wake-induced energy losses and enhance overall energy production. The translational movements of FOWTs are governed by the mooring system attached to it. The way a FOWT relocates its position changes if the design of the mooring system attached to it changes. Additionally, the translational motion of a FOWT attached to a given mooring system is different for different wind directions. Hence, we can tailor a mooring system design for a FOWT to passively control its motions according to the wind direction. In this work, we present a new self-adjusting FWF layout design, and assess its performance using both static and dynamic methods. The results show that relocating the FOWTs in an FWF can increase the energy production by 3 % using a steady-state wake model and 1.4 % using a dynamic wake model at a wind speed of 10 m/s. Moreover, we compare the fatigue and ultimate loads of the mooring systems of the self-adjusting FWF layout design to the mooring systems in a current state-of-the-art FWF baseline design. The comparison shows that with smaller mooring system diameters, the self-adjusting FWF design has similar fatigue damage compared to the baseline design with bigger mooring system diameters. Finally, the ultimate loads on the mooring systems of the self-adjusting FWF design are lower than those on the mooring systems of the baseline design.
Leveraging Latent Natural Language Processing Techniques for User Story Management in Agile Software Development

Published: October 2023

User story management is a critical aspect of agile software development, as it involves understanding and prioritizing the needs of stakeholders, and translating them into actionable tasks for development teams. Furthermore, the identification of new activities within products is crucial for enhancing software quality assurance, and user story management is a crucial component of agile software development and software testing. Reusing manually written test steps would be a waste of time and effort for the testers because requirements in agile software development are continually changing and eventually becoming out-dated. Therefore, developers need to implement the necessary functions and write test steps for user stories to determine the desired behaviour or desired result of the program. In an agile world, the user story is the link between the customer and the development team, as well as the main pillar on which the development team relies to understand the product requirements.  Therefore, developers need to implement the necessary functions and write test steps for user stories to determine the desired behaviour or desired result of the program.  Since agile testing can detect defects early in the software life cycle and deliver a high-quality product, we propose our approach to generating test cases using natural language processing to analyse the user story. Therefore, Neural Language Processing (NLP) techniques help the development team to obtain clear data and achieve customer satisfaction.

Quantification of Hidden Cost/Quasi-Fiscal Activities in Electricity Sector of Pakistan
Authors: Khan Sabeel , Wahid Fazale
Published: October 2023

The aim of the study is to quantify the hidden costs in the electricity sector of Pakistan and estimate which components contribute more to the hidden cost/quasi-fiscal activities (QFAs). The hidden cost is comprised of three key components: tariff differential subsidies, transmission and distribution losses, and bill collection ratio. Quantifying the hidden costs/QFAs helps policymakers understand the amount of resources that could be generated or saved within the sector. The End-product method is used to quantify QFAs through a hidden cost calculator model for the period 2009-10 to 2021-22. Based on the quantification, it is concluded that tariff differential subsidies are the major contributing component of hidden costs, followed by transmission and distribution losses. Bill arrears are the least significant contributor. The average hidden cost over a 12-year study period amounts to 2.69% of the country's GDP. The study suggests that if the electricity sector works efficiently by reducing transmission and distribution losses, collecting all bill amounts, and eliminating unnecessary subsidies, it could save an amount equivalent to 2.69% of GDP. This saved money could be utilized for investing in electricity infrastructure development. Such actions would alleviate the burden on the government's exchequer and ensure uninterrupted electricity supply, fostering economic growth and improving the standard of living in the country.
The Impact of Gender Equality Education on the Ethical Structure of Chinese Family-Themed Films in the New Century
Authors: Cheng Dan
Published: October 2023

Gender equality education is an important aspect of promoting a fair society. The impact of gender equality education on the moral framework of Chinese family-themed movies in the twenty-first century is investigated in this study. Films can be used to question conventional ideas about gender roles and gender stereotypes. They are a strong medium for promoting principles and messages of gender equality. The moral implications of movies can reveal whether or not the Chinese people support the idea of gender equality. The study uses a quantitative methodology, examining several Chinese family-themed movies and gathering information from media sources. Over three days, information from 200 respondents was gathered from media persons using a convenience sampling technique. Smart PLS 3 statistical software was used to evaluate the data (SEM). The results point to a strong influence of gender equality education on how gender roles and family relationships are portrayed in Chinese cinema, with a discernible movement towards more diverse and egalitarian portrayals. Nonetheless, the ethical framework of Chinese family-themed movies is also still being shaped by the influence of conventional cultural values and business considerations. To encourage more inclusive and empowering representations of gender and family in Chinese cinema, the study's conclusion highlights the possibility of gender equality education.
PAK-AFGHAN BORDER: ASSESSING PAKISTAN’S FOREIGN POLICY TOWARDS AFGHANISTAN DURING ASHRAF GHANI ERA (2014-2020)
Authors: Hassam Ahmed Siddiqi
Published: October 2023

Ties between Pakistan and Afghanistan remained controversial and strained during Ashraf Ghani era and much of it can be attributed to the fencing of Pak-Afghan border as well as Pakistan’s foreign and security policies towards Afghanistan and vice versa. Policies of President Ghani over the course of his Presidency predominantly depicted an anti-Pakistan posture despite the fact that Pakistan facilitated Afghan Peace Process and played a crucial role in the conclusion of Doha Agreement. Several factors contributed to Afghanistan’s opposition towards Pakistan during Ghani era. This included fencing of the border, Afghan refugees, militancy in the Af-Pak border region, Indian nexus with Afghan governments to create instability in Pakistan, attack on the security of Pakistan by TTP and TTA as well as the economic challenges faced by the traders of both sides. President Ghani’s vocal support to PTM also infuriated the political and military establishment of Pakistan and hence series of conflicting issues added to the toxicity in the relationship. This research studies will critically analyze the challenges between Pakistan and Afghanistan during Ghani regime and how it impacted the nature of relationship between the two neighbouring states

HIV-AIDS Stigma in the Workplace: A Qualitative Study in Türkiye
Authors: KORKMAZ Nevin , ÖZTÜRK Servet , SUR Haydar
Published: October 2023

HIV/AIDS epidemic is one of the most important global health problems in history. Stigmatizing attitudes towards people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in the workplace lead to the loss of jobs or not being preferred for new recruitment. This study aims to shed light on the situations related to stigma and stigma fears that they have experienced in their work life.

A phenomenological research design was used in the research, while volunteer sampling and snowball sampling were used as sampling methods. The study was conducted through face-to-face interviews with 10 male participants living in Türkiye, who were infected with HIV, between March 10, 2022, and March 17, 2022. Open coding was used in the first stage of the research, and axial and selective coding was achieved after the selection of the core category.

While homosexual individuals stated that they had learned about their first diagnosis during routine blood test controls, heterosexual individuals stated that they had learned about their first diagnosis incidentally. They stated that they had felt emotions such as denial, sadness, helplessness, and fear when they had learned it, however, their fears eased later on. While married individuals first shared their diagnoses with their spouses, single individuals shared their diagnoses with partners or close friends. Most participants hide their HIV infection from their colleagues or managers. All participants stated that being an HIV/AIDS patient would have a negative impact on recruitment and promotion. They stated that if they lost their jobs, they sought their rights through legal means. They also stated that the first emotion they would feel when they lost a job would be anger, sadness, disappointment, and anxiety. They stated that in order not to be stigmatized, society should be educated and social media should be used for creating awareness.

It has been found that stigma in the workplace is still important in Türkiye (formerly known as Turkey) and has a negative impact on PLWHA. It was emphasized that it is important to inform society in order to eliminate the stigma.

Published: October 2023

Objective: The aim of this research was to determine whether social media addiction had an effect on high school students' posture habits and awareness. Materials and methods: This study has done among high school students in Keşan, Edirne. By using the cluster sampling method, 5 high schools in the district with a total number of 956 students were selected by random. This study was conducted face-to-face using a 38-questions personal information form, Social Media Addiction Scale for Adolescents (SMASA) and Postural Habits and Awareness Scale (PHAS). In the analysis of data, number, percentage, mean, standart deviation that are definer statistical analysis, Student’s t-test, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests, Pearson correlation analysis, Kendall tau-b correlation analysis, multivariate linear regression analysis that are analyzing analysis are used. Statistical significance level was taken as p<0,05. Results: 771 students in high schools in the sample group participated in the research. In this study, 53.8% of participants are women and 34.9% of students attend from high school grade 3. While the mean value of the Social Media Addiction Scale for Adolescents is 20.2 (7.3), the mean value of the Postural Habits and Awareness Scale is 61.2 (7.0). There is a moderately positive correlation between time spent on social media and SMASA score (p<0.001; τ=0.440). There is a weak negative relationship between SMASA point and PHAS point (p<0.001; r=-0.186). A one unit increase in the SMASA score reduces the PHAS score by 0,140 points (p<0.001). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, we can conclude that an increase in social media addiction affects a decrease in postural habits and awareness. Nevertheless, social media addiction cannot be attributed as the sole cause of decreased postural habits and awareness. Reducing inappropriate social media use in students and providing students with exercise habits will be beneficial in terms of preventing bad posture habits during adolescence.

У статті проаналізовано проблематику взаємодії мови й культури на сучасному етапі, окреслено антропроцентричний підхід у лінвістиці, зосереджено увагу на поліпарадигмальному диференціюванні поняття концепт, зокрема визначено його одиницею ментального простору. Ураховуючи, що сучасна лінгвістична парадигма спрямована на визначення шляхів і способів вербального відображення внутрішнього стану людини, у розвідці досліджено особливості лінгвалізації концепту САМОТНІСТЬ. Джерельною базою обрано постмодерний український художній дискурс, зокрема роман Володимира Лиса «Камінь посеред саду», із огляду на те, що самостість є характерною рисою постмодерністської епохи. Загострені специфікою сучасної доби почуття покинутості, непотрібності, відчуженості, ставлять на часі проблему самотності. Завданням для кожної людини стає не просто навчитись жити у суспільстві, але й гармонізувати стосунки з іншими людьми й головне – досягти гармонії свого внутрішнього світу. Відображена у текстах сучасної української художньої прози ситуація переживання індивідом самотності кваліфікується як емоційна ситуація внутрішнього стану людини, під якою розуміємо фрагмент тексту, корелятом якого виступає емоційний концепт САМОТНІСТЬ, що знаходить своє вираження у семантиці стилістично нейтральних та стилістично маркованих мовних засобів. Виразними складниками концепту САМОТНІСТЬ в аналізованому романі виступають символи: камінь, туман, кольори, емоційний стан людини (біль страх), духовний стан людини (душа, совість, сумління). З’ясовано, що зміст концепту САМОТНІСТЬ у творі об’єктивується й на рівні художньої мови, тобто дійсного смислу, закладеного в усіх формальних компонентах, а саме: емоційно-експресивної лексики, метафоричних виразів, а також слів та словосполучень, семантично та асоціативно пов’язаних із лексемами «самотність».
A Study on the Effect of Safety Leadership of Safety & Health Manager’s on Workers’s Safety Consciousness and Safety Behavior
Authors:   Form of Public Safety and Culture, Kim Keun Ah , Jang Gil Sang
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study is to activate the “Safety & Health Manager Assignment System”―a system that small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) in manufacturing industry with 20-49 employees is required to have safety and health manager for workers’ safety and health―through a research on whether a medium is provided between safety consciousness and safety behavior.
The research was conducted to have suggestions for improving safety consciousness and safety behavior of workers in SMEs by promoting awareness and acknowledging importance on the safety leadership, safety consciousness and safety behavior. In line with that, actual proof analysis was conducted about this.
A research model and hypothesis were proposed and verification was carried out to achieve the purpose of the study. Looking at the proposed research model, safety leadership of the safety and health manager directly affects the safety consciousness and safety behavior of workers. Safety consciousness is used as a parameter in this process.
In August 2021, a survey was conducted targeting 350 safety and health managers and workers in the manufacturing industry in Busan and Gyeongnam. Among them, 334 questionnaires excluding insincere responses were empirically verified. Using SPSS 24.0, basic statistical analysis, validity and reliability verification, and correlation were conducted.

Effect of Middle and High School Students’Internet Use on Learning Attitude: Mediating Effect of Self control
Authors:   Form of Public Safety and Culture, Nam Hyo Cheon , Lee Hyun Sim
Published: October 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of middle and high school students' Internet use on their learning attitude. In addition, this study tried to verify the extent to which Internet use affects learning attitude through the medium of self-control. Through this analysis and verification, it provides basic data to devise a plan to lead middle and high school students normally and correctly in their home and society surrounding them, centering on their school life, and to improve their use of the Internet at school, where they have to spend a long time. Its purpose is to create a research culture to develop programs that can be used safely.
Method: This study was conducted on 316 students attending middle and high schools nationwide in February 2023. Among them, 1st year middle school students were excluded, and 2nd year middle school to 3rd year high school students were set. Respondents were 158 males and females, and the percentage of high school students was 40% (126) of middle school students and 60% (190) of high school students. They were surveyed using internet addiction test, self-control test, and learning attitude test questionnaire, and analyzed with a structural equation model based on the results obtained through a professional consulting agency.
Results: All correlations between subvariables of latent variables, which are the main variables set in this study, were found to be significant. However, the finding that Internet use was not directly significant in learning attitude has its own reasons and significance. This is partly because there were more students in the upper middle than in the lower when the academic level of the students in the survey was divided into upper, middle and lower, and it was confirmed that the learning attitude itself did not change in a short period of time or was an acceptable part. On the other hand, when self-control was mediated, Internet use had a significant effect on learning attitude.
Conclusion: In this study, middle and high school students' Internet use did not directly affect their learning attitude, but it was confirmed that when their self-control increased, it had a positive effect on their learning attitude. This is because middle and high school students' Internet use may not directly affect their learning attitude, but it can have a significant effect when other variables, such as self-control, are mediated. Administrative authorities' countermeasures, the development of educational programs acceptable to schools, and the creation of a curriculum and feasible conditions for improving self-control will be needed.

Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study is to propose a model that analyze the architectural characteristics of neighborhood-convenience facilities around schools, which are vulnerable to infections, and their relevance to the spread of communicable diseases. This model aims to provide a foundation for making decisions on concentrating sanitation resources to prevent the inflow of communicable diseases and the occurrence of group infections in the vicinity of elementary schools.
In order to understand the impact of neighborhood-convenience facilities located within a 1,500m commuting distance from elementary schools on the spread of communicable diseases, this study analyzes the architectural characteristics of local facilities and their relevance to the spread of communicable diseases. It proposes a communicable disease spread analysis model that utilizes GIS (Geographic Information System) and correlation analysis to identify vulnerable architectural characteristics and spatial scope related to infections.
The results of applying the analysis model proposed in this study to analyze the correlation between neighborhood-convenience facilities around elementary schools and the spread of communicable diseases showed a positive correlation between the number of buildings, building area, total floor area, land area, height, building coverage ratio, and floor area ratio of neighborhood-convenience facilities within the Elementary-school Commuting Zone in the target administrative district. However, the spatial scope and trends of the maximum correlation coefficient for each administrative district varied, indicating differences in patterns among the target districts.
The results of this study are as follows: First, the study proposed a correlation analysis model between the architectural characteristics of neighborhood-convenience facilities within the commuting distance of elementary schools and the spread of communicable diseases. Second, the results of applying the analysis model showed a positive correlation between the architectural characteristic variables of neighborhood-convenience facilities and the spread of communicable diseases. Third, there were differences in the spatial scope and trends of the maximum correlation coefficient among the analyzed administrative districts. The analysis model presented in this study provides a foundation for selecting architectural characteristics and spatial scope in each administrative district to concentrate sanitation resources.
A Study on the Improvement of Fire Prevention System in Refrigeration Warehouse Construction

Published: October 2023

The domestic logistics environment must provide services in real time, regardless of time and place, due to increased delivery volume, increased logistics warehouse functions, increased delivery speed, increased low-temperature products, and the 4th Industrial Revolution. In order to survive in this logistics environment, logistics companies and others are pursuing profits on a large scale and short construction periods as business survival strategies, so the exposure of risks to logistics warehouse construction is very serious. Among them, more than 1,000 fire accidents with very serious disaster intensity have continued to occur over the past 10 years since 2010, and fire accidents have caused dozens of lives and property damage of tens of billions of won every year. The purpose of this study is to reveal the problems of the fire prevention system of the frozen warehouse construction work through case analysis and related laws and literature that occurred in the construction of the frozen warehouse among the logistics warehouses and to suggest ways to improve them.
The research method was to investigate and analyze fire status, accident cases (centered on accidents at frozen warehouses in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do in 2008), theoretical consideration such as 4M techniques, and suggest ways to improve the fire prevention system.
Fire prevention mechanisms of 4M refrigeration warehouse construction were investigated. Fire control by unqualified firemen, fire monitors, and lack of management by supervisors existed mechanically. The construction method of fire prevention was improved S.H.P(Safety Hold Point) operation, replacement of frozen warehouse insulation with semi-non-combustible urethane foam, introducing a mandatory fire prevention education system, strengthening emergency simulation training, and finally operating a one-out system for those who do not fulfill fire prevention guidelines.
While conducting this study, it was an opportunity to examine the seriousness of fire accidents in frozen warehouse construction work, and I hope that the measures proposed through this study will help prevent fire in frozen warehouse construction work.
Deriving the Superficial Order of Mandarin Chinese Sentential Final Particles: A Feature-Equilibrium Perspective
Authors: Xie Tao
Published: October 2023

The main goal of this work is to offer an analysis concerning the distribution of Sentential final particles (SFP) in Mandarin Chinese in terms of the Symmetric Syntax formulated by Narita and Fukui (2022). We propose two alternatives of deriving the linear order of SFP that can satisfy the requirement of constructing Feature-Equilibrium (F-Equi), which is argued to play a significant role in narrow syntax computation by Narita and Fukui: (i) to construct {proposition}-equilibrium; (ii) to construct {k, R}-equilibrium.

Authors: EKER Erdal , EKİNCİ Serdar , İZCİ Davut
Published: October 2023

To enhance controller performance, the optimization of control parameters has emerged as a critical research area. Among the array of optimization algorithms, the modified elite opposition-based artificial hummingbird algorithm (m-AHA) stands out for its ability to emulate behavioral strategies of hummingbirds and elite opposition-based technique. This paper, therefore, proposes m-AHA optimizer as a novel approach to optimize control parameters in a three-tanks liquid level system. By fine-tuning the parameters of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, superior performance is achieved. Comparative evaluations with competitive algorithms, including the arithmetic optimization algorithm with Harris hawks optimization and covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy, assess the m-AHA optimizer-based approach for three-tank liquid level system control. The ITAE (integral of time multiplied absolute error) performance index analyzes time domain and frequency metrics, revealing the outstanding performance of the m-AHA optimizer-based approach.

Authors: SEVİ Mehmet , AYDIN İlhan
Published: October 2023

This study proposes a deep learning-based method to detect foreign objects around the railway line. It is important to make this determination with high accuracy for rail transport safety, but traditional methods are disadvantageous in terms of time and cost. In the proposed method, the RailSem19 dataset was used, and a YOLOv8-based model was designed. YOLOv8 is a prominent algorithm in the literature with its fast and accurate object detection capability. In the study, the dataset was diversified using image enhancement techniques. The training, validation, and testing stages used manually labeled data for human and car classes. The training process was carried out through Google Colab and different YOLOv8 sub-architectures were evaluated. The results showed that the YOLOv8m sub-architecture had higher mAP50 values than the other sub-architectures and showed a successful performance in the validation phase. The YOLOv8m model was able to clearly distinguish people and cars around the railway line. The YOLOv8m sub-architecture achieved a mAP50 value of 88.8%. This study presents an automated and efficient method to improve rail transport safety. The high success of the YOLOv8-based model with the RailSem19 dataset can be considered an effective solution to detect potential risks around the railway line.
