More Than Trolleys: Plausible, Ethically Ambiguous Scenarios Likely to Be Encountered by Automated Vehicles
Authors: Goodall Noah J.
Published: October 2020

As the act of driving becomes increasingly automated, vehicles will encounter situations where different objectives of safety, mobility, and legality will come into conflict. These situations require a vehicle to compare relative values of different entities and objectives, where the action of the vehicle has a moral component. While discussion of these scenarios often focuses on the “trolley problem” thought experiment, these types of life-or-death moral dilemmas may be rare in practice. This article identifies four far more common examples of routine driving that require decisions with some level of ethical reasoning about how to distribute risk. These scenarios may be useful for automated vehicle developers in assessing vehicle safety and responding to potential future regulations, as well as for regulators in developing performance requirements.

Energy Storage as a System Resource
Authors: Leon Ramon , Ochoa Maria Camila , Gutierrez Alejandro
Published: October 2020

The origins of the electric industry can be traced back to the invention of the battery. However, Energy Storage Systems (ESS) have never been considered as a part of the electricity supply chain. Even though there has been an increase of government mandated storage investments in power grids, market driven investments are still lacking sustainable business models. Now, with the possibility that cost reductions of the technology make it viable for widespread utilization, multiple efforts have been devoted by the academia and industry to design its incorporation into electricity markets. A large majority of the proposals have been devoted to develop mechanisms for their incorporation in ancillary services markets or for arbitrage, considering storage as another market player, both still with little success in providing sustainable benefits to energy consumers and investors alike. In this paper, we demonstrate that Large Scale Energy Storage excels when incorporated as a service provider in electricity markets. Our proposal considers ESS as a grid resource, available to the ISO to achieve the optimal mix of resources in the day ahead dispatch. We demonstrate that in the Colombian system, a large ESS used in this manner may achieve high benefit-cost ratios. The results also indicate that current market designs need to evolve in order to take better advantage of energy storage and renewable energy resources.

Objectives: To examine the subjective wellbeing of Australian parents raising children and adolescents (0-18 years) during ‘stage three’ COVID-19 restrictions (April 2020), in comparison with subjective wellbeing in parents assessed over an 18-year period prior to the pandemic. We also aimed to examine socio-demographic and COVID-19 predictors of subjective wellbeing during the pandemic.Methods: Cross-sectional data were from: (1) the COVID-19 Pandemic Adjustment Survey (CPAS, N=2,365 parents of a child 0-18 years, 8-28th April, 2020); and, (2) a pre-pandemic database bringing together over 18-years of national data on subjective wellbeing (N=17,529 adults living with children, collected in annual surveys over 2002-2019). Results: Levels of subjective wellbeing during the pandemic were considerably lower than ratings prior to the pandemic (Personal Wellbeing Index, mean [SD]=65.3 [17.0]; compared to [SD]=75.8 [11.9], p<0.001). Within the pandemic data, subjective wellbeing was lower in parents with low education, language other-than-English, receiving income assistance (i.e., a government benefit), single parents, and young parents. Subjective wellbeing was also lower in fathers, parents raising a child with a neurodevelopmental condition, parents with physical or mental health problems, and parents reporting COVID-related stressors, such as employment changes, financial strain, negative feelings/attributions about COVID-19, and supervising children while working-from-home. Unexpectedly, parent engagement with news media about the pandemic was associated with higher subjective wellbeing. Conclusion: Subjective wellbeing in parents raising children aged 0-18 years appears to be disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and associated social restrictions in Australia. Specific at-risk groups, for which government intervention may be warranted, include parents in socially disadvantaged contexts, parents with pre-existing mental health difficulties, and parents facing significant COVID-19 related work changes.
Changes in community clinicians’ attitudes and competence following a transdiagnostic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy training
Authors: Creed Torrey A. , Crane Margaret Ellen , Calloway Amber , Olino Thomas M , Kendall Philip C. , Stirman Shannon Wiltsey
Published: October 2020

Background: Although the literature suggest that attitudes toward evidence-based practices(EBPs) are associated with provider use of EBPs, less is known about the association between attitudes and how competently EBPs are delivered. This study examined how initial attitudes and competence relate to improvements in attitudes and competence following EBP training. Methods: Program evaluation data was collected during implementation of an EBP in a large community mental health network. Clinicians (N=891) received intensive training in cognitive behavioral therapy followed by six months of consultation. Attitudes were assessed using the Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale, and competence was assessed using the Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale. Data were analyzed by fitting three latent change score models to examine the relationship between changes in attitudes and competence across the training and within its two phases (workshop phase, consultation phase).Results: Latent change models identified significant improvement in attitudes (Mslatent change≥1.03, SEs≤ 0.18, zs≥6.55, ps< .001) and competence (Mslatent change≥14.16, SEs≤3.10, zs≥2.82, ps<.001) across the full training and in each phase. Higher pre-workshop attitudes predicted significantly greater change in competence in the workshop and across training (bs≥1.62, SEs≤0.90, z≥1.09, p<.04, β≥0.10); however, contrary to our hypothesis, post- workshop attitudes did not significantly predict change in competence in consultation (b=1.62, SE=0.86, z=1.87, p=.06, β=0.09). Change in attitudes and change in competence in the training period and within the two phases were not significantly correlated.Conclusions: Results indicate that pre-training attitudes about EBPs present a target for implementation interventions, given their relation to changes in both attitudes and competence throughout training. Following participation in in itial training workshops, other factors such as subjective norms, implementation culture, or system-level policy shifts may be more predictive of change in competence through consultation.
Acute relaxation during pregnancy leads to a reduction in maternal electrodermal activity, changes in cardiovascular activity and subjective stress levels depending on the week of gestation.
Authors: Bauer Ilena , Hartkopf Julia , Wikström Anna-Karin , Schaal Nora , Preissl Hubert , Dernt Birgit , Schleger Franziska
Published: October 2020

Background: Prenatal maternal stress can have adverse effects on birth outcomes and fetal development. Relaxation techniques have been examined as one potential countermeasure. This study investigates different relaxation techniques and their effect on mood and physiological stress levels in pregnant women.Methods: 36 pregnant women (30 to 40 weeks of gestation) were randomly assigned to one of three groups: music, guided imagery or resting. Dependent measures included self-report questionnaires, subjective ratings of stress levels as well as physiological measures, i.e. cardiovascular and electrodermal activity.Results: All three forms of relaxation led to reduced maternal stress: decreased heart rate and decreased skin conductance levels. Based on heart rate, skin conductance level and stress ratings there were no significant differences between relaxation interventions. Subjective post-intervention stress ratings indicated that more relaxation occured after intervention in earlier gestation than in late gestation.Conclusion: Independent of relaxation technique, a 20-minute period of acute relaxation can reduce maternal stress. Notably, women earlier in pregnancy reported to be more relaxed after the intervention than women later in gestation. Hence, gestational age can influence perceived stress levels and should be considered when evaluating relaxation or stress management interventions during pregnancy.
Development, Inequality, Climate change, and now a Pandemic: Placing Policies in Perspective
Authors: Lind Niels
Published: October 2020

The First Wave of the Covid-19 deaths has passed in many countries worldwide. The pandemic continues while our climate-change response is growing more urgent. Together they place demands on policy in conflict with the ongoing pursuit of human development. So there is a need for quantified tools to assess and compare policies to see how governments have made efforts and policies to balance the demands of the pandemic with ongoing demands of development, inequality and climate. To supplement available social indicators, a Pandemic Severity Indicator (PSI) of the harm to health, days in good health, and years lost by death is constructed. 55 countries' performance overall and in detail are then summarized in a grade report revealing successes and areas that require their attention.

Are Conditional Sentence Orders Used Differently for Indigenous Offenders? A Comparison of Sentences and Outcomes in Canada
Authors: Gutierrez Leticia , Chadwick Nick
Published: October 2020

Conditional sentence orders (CSOs) were introduced in Canada in 1996, largely as a mechanism to address the overreliance on incarceration. This sentencing option is particularly relevant for Indigenous individuals who have been vastly overrepresented in custodial settings. Despite being in place for over twenty years, little is known about the use and effectiveness of CSOs. The current study examined the use and outcomes of CSOs for Indigenous (n = 749) and non-Indigenous offenders (n = 1,625) in one Canadian province. Specifically, the length of CSO, frequency and type of optional conditions, number of breaches, and rates of reoffending were compared between the two groups. Results from a logistic regression, controlling for risk relevant co-variates, indicated that Indigenous individuals tended to receive shorter CSOs compared to Caucasian individuals. However, Indigenous individuals were 35% more likely than Caucasian individuals to be convicted of a breach and more likely to incur multiple breaches while on a CSO. Despite the differences in the rates of breaches, the likelihood of reoffending over a two-year period was equivalent across the two groups. Although the reasons for breach were not available for the current study, future research should investigate this further to determine whether increased breach rates for Indigenous individuals are the result of more rule-violating behaviour, an inequity in the fairness of the conditions applied to Indigenous versus Caucasian individuals, or whether it is possible that breaches are over-detected and convicted at a higher rate for Indigenous individuals. Greater awareness of the underlying mechanisms related to increased breach rates affords the opportunity to ensure that CSOs are consistently implemented, something which will contribute to achieving the objective of successful diversion from imprisonment.

Aplicação de óxidos mistos de molibdênio, vanádio, tungstênio e cobre como catalisadores na produção do ácido acrílico
Authors:   , Fantim W. M.
Published: October 2020

Acrylic acid is a product with several applications in the chemical industry, the main one is the production of sodium polyacrylate, a superabsorbent material used in the toiletries manufacture. Currently acrylic acid is obtained from propene oxidation using heterogeneous Mo/Bi and Mo/V oxide-based catalysts. In this process, propene is first oxidized to acrolein, which is then oxidized to acrylic acid. Although this is already a consolidated process, propylene comes from petrochemical sources and thus there is a concern to search for alternative routes to the use of this raw material and one of the possibilities is to synthesize acrolein from glycerol dehydration using specific catalysts. For the project, heterogeneous catalysts were prepared to obtain the acrylic acid, first evaluated in the oxidation of acrolein and later in the glycerol oxideshydration. Three types of samples were synthesized with different compositions B1- Mo12V4,8W2,4Cu2,2Si8,4; B2-Mo12V2W0,5Si6,2 and B3-Mo12V2,7Si6,2) by four preparation methods, namely by evaporation, evaporation followed by hydrothermal treatment, hydrothermal treatment (TH) and using a block copolymer. For the last two methods a more detailed study was performed to determine the best synthesis conditions (Phase I), and it was found that the total dissolution of the reagents in the mixture before TH resulted in samples with higher crystallinity and less active phase loss in the liquid and the use of a cold dissolved block copolymer contributed to an increase in pore volume. In the second stage, the materials synthesized by the four proposed methods were characterized and evaluated in reactor in acrylic acid production. The samples B1 showed different crystalline phase formation depending on the preparation method used, and in samples B2 and B3 the main phase was identified as a-MoO3, regardless of the method used. The samples synthesized by evaporation followed by TH showed the highest selectivity for acrylic acid formation from acrolein for the same catalyst composition, which may be related to the higher vanadium oxide content present in samples identified by FRX and the formation of the crystalline phase V0.35Mo4,65O14. The best performance was observed in sample B1-EV+TH with selectivity of 50.59% and 3.61% for acrylic acid in the processes from acrolein and glycerol, respectively

Published: October 2020

Background. Agriculture is a source of increased credit risk for banks and other lenders, which requires special approaches to assessing the credit worthiness of the enter­prises in this industry. The assessment improving of the credit worthiness of the agricu­ltural enterprises is one of the key scientific and practical problems. The aim of the article is to identify and systematize the factors influencing the level of credit worthiness of the agricultural enterprises. Materials and methods. The theoretical basis of the research is a systematic app­roach that has been used to identify and analyze the factors of credit worthiness of the agricultural enterprises. The methodological basis consisted of system-structural, compa­rative analysis and logical generalization methods. The information basis of the research is analytical materials, scientific researches, results of own researches. Results. The purpose of assessing the credit worthiness of the agricultural enterprise is to obtain a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the borrower’s activities by a cre­ditor. Based on this, creditor assesses the risk of lending and decides about the possibility and con­ditions of lending or refusal to the borrower. Existing methods of assessing the credit worthiness of the agricultural enterprises do not often take into account the peculiarities of their activities, which directly affect the ability of these enterprises to repay the loan. During the assessing the credit worthiness of the agricultural enterprise, it is appropriate to take into account financial indicators that characterize its financial position and non-financial factors that describe the actual and potential conditions of its management. Based on the results of systematization of existing approaches and own conclusions, it is proposed to classify the factors influencing the credit worthiness of the agricultural enterprises by the source of influence on the company, the possibility of influence by the company, the method of measurement, nature. Conclusion. The article presents the author’s vision of the classification factors influencing the agricultural enterprises ability to obtain credit and expand their list by addition them with factors of soil quality and organic production, which will reduce the credit risk of financial institutions in lending.
DESIGNING OF METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING THE RESTORATION OF BRIDGES

Published: October 2020

Abstract. The biggest part of the bridges in Ukraine requires serious restoration works. However, in the literature sources there are no recommendations for choosing effective organizational and technological solutions for the reconstruction of bridges and overpasses. Therefore, the design of methods for optimizing bridge restoration is an urgent task. The working optimization hypothesis is formulated in the article. A general research technique is developed. The algorithm of multicriteria analysis is presented to determine the most effective structural and technological solutions for the restoration of the main structural elements of the studied structures. As a result of the analysis, the most significant indicators of restoration efficiency were determined. These were the cost of restoration of m2 of the bridge and the duration of restoration of the bridge. As factors affecting performance indicators ‒ the intensity of the use of working time and the combination of construction processes, the size of the roadway and the operational condition of the bridge were selected. The planning of the experiment is based on the well-known theory of experimental planning. A 25-point D-optimal plan was selected, which will provide adequate results with significantly fewer experiments than in a full-factor experiment. For calculations is used the program software COMPEX, which is developed at the Odessa State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture under the direction of Professor V. Voznesensky. Modelling allows to find the dependencies between the input (intensity use of working time, combination of construction processes, size of the carriageway of the bridge, operational condition of the bridge) and output (cost of restoration of m2 of the bridge, duration of restoration of the bridge) parameters. Dependences data is described with usage of second-degree polynomials obtained by processing the results of a numerical experiment. These dependencies will allow to determine the cost and duration of the restoration of the bridge for varying degrees of damage and the size of the bridge. In addition, to change indicators by choosing the optimal production modes (combination of processes, the intensity of the use of working time). The analysis of the results of a numerical experiment will allow us to assess the influence of organizational and technological factors on the performance indicators of restoration technologies and find areas of factor space that provide optimization of organizational and technological solutions for the restoration of damaged bridges. At the last stage of the numerical experiment, limits are introduced into graphic models (by cost, duration, combination, etc.) and the optimal organizational and technological solutions are determined taking into account the introduced restrictions.

Abstract. The article is dedicated to creation of 3D libraries of building construction elements with customized annotations, analytical and other necessary parameters for interior walls, doors, windows, exterior walls, floor slabs, roof, ceiling and floor elements in REVIT software. The aim of the work is to develop a database of families of parameterized components of buildings and structures in REVIT. The research was conducted using the method of generalization, systematic approach and statistical analysis. The matter of creating families of digital components of the virtual model of construction projects in accordance to the state norms and technical requirements is relevant now. Issues of creation and application of families of digital parameterized components according to requirements of current regulatory documents, interior and exterior components, as well as the structural component of each created element are described in the article. Some of the created families conform to the specified requirements, are universal and having an ability to replace types families. For each of the loaded element, the maximum possible number of materials was selected with the inclusion in the library of all the necessary information from physical and thermal characteristics to the current price of the building materials on the Ukrainian market. Practical use of the created libraries occurs in the design of construction projects in the framework of faculty and students cooperation with the Public Union «BUILDIT UKRAINE». The information model of a multistory civil building was created by the authors. The model allows to automatically generating the necessary drawings for construction: plans, facades, schemes, sections, design specifications and other documentation. Moreover, this reduces the time for preparation of project documentation and provides control of key indicators and compliance with the deadlines. Besides, the model allows to provide information on the results of researches and tests quickly, and promptly adjust the cost of construction.
ОPTIMAL PLACEMENT OF FRICTION DAMPERS FOR THE SEISMIC PROTECTION OF FRAME BUILDINGS USING THE PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION

Abstract. A challenging problem of Civil Engineering is the protection of buildings against dynamic loads and earthquake impacts. The advanced solutions employ lightweight structures equipped with special damping devices. These devices can be active or passive and their application depends on the investments for the project. The active devices change their properties depending on the structural response and they are the most expensive ones. On the other hand, passive devices are essentially cheaper and, in many cases, require minimal costs of installation and maintenance. Last decades, passive friction dampers are widely used for the earthquake protection of multi-storey buildings. The friction dampers make use of the effect of solid friction to dissipate the mechanical energy and to reduce the amplitude of the vibration of the structure. The friction is developed between two solid bodies sliding in relation to one another. As usual, pairs of metal, polymer or concrete components can be utilized. Determination of the optimal location of the friction dampers inside the building presents a complicated task for the practical design. In this paper, a new approach is developed basing on the method of particle swarm optimization (PSO). The PSO method presents an artificial simulation of the phenomenon of collective intelligence, which is observed in many decentralized biological systems like ant colonies, bee swarms, flocks of birds and even social groups of human individuals. As an illustrative example, the 2D model of a ten-storey concrete frame building is considered. The purpose of the analysis is to minimize the objective function, which is the amplitude of the displacements of the top of the structure in a case of the resonance dynamic load with a frequency of the first normal mode. Non-stationary dynamic analysis is performed by the finite elements method using the program package «LIRA-SAPR» and its module «Dynamic-plus». The software implementation of the PSO procedure is developed using the open-source computer algebra system «Maxima». The optimal placement of friction dampers is determined providing the minimal displacements of the frame. The developed approach can be further extended to various problems of the optimal design of buildings and structures.

Abstract. Non-metal composite reinforcement is increasingly being used in modern construction. Composite reinforcement is a great step forward over steel, due to its higher strength and corrosion resistance. An analysis of the use of these fittings was performed, which showed that the United States, Japan and China are leading countries in the use of composite fittings. The more active pace of implementation of composite reinforcement is limited by the fact that composite reinforcement does not have a common method for calculating their bearing capacity. That is why the article discusses regulatory documents on the calculation and design of structures reinforced with composite reinforcement from around the world. The article provides a comparative analysis of the calculations of the bearing capacity of prototypes – beams, reinforced with basalt-plastic reinforcement, according to the available design standards of foreign countries, which were among the first to use non-metallic composite reinforcement for reinforcing span concrete structures. The methods of calculating the bearing capacity of beam elements for concrete and non-metallic composite reinforcement according to regulatory documents are examined in detail. A comparative analysis of the actual bearing capacity of inclined sections of basalt concrete beams and its calculated values calculated according to the recommendations of the existing design standards of foreign countries is carried out. The analysis showed that the actual bearing capacity of the inclined sections of basalt concrete beams and its calculated value showed their unsatisfactory convergence. A common feature of all considered foreign design standards is the underestimation, up to several times, of the bearing capacity of inclined sections of prototypes ‒ beams reinforced with both steel and basalt-plastic reinforcement. It has been established that the methods for calculating the bearing capacity of supporting sections of spans of reinforced concrete and basalt concrete structures, presented in national design standards, are based not on the new general method, but on partially improved methods that were used in previously existing standards.

Abstract. The results of a numerical and experimental study of the bearing capacity of a circular concrete arch loaded with hydrostatic pressure are presented. To implement the specified scheme of loading arches, the authors made a stand that allows you to determine the bearing capacity of models of concrete, reinforced concrete, steel-fiber concrete and wooden arches. For experiments, a double-hinged arch was made of concrete С16/20. At the same time, samples-cubes with an edge size of 10 cm were prepared from the same batch, which were tested for compression in accordance with the current regulatory documents. During the tests, the load was applied in small steps for a detailed study of the arch deformation process. At each stage, the readings of the measuring devices, dial indicators and strain gauges, were recorded. For computer modeling and numerical analysis by the finite element method, the software LIRA-SAPR was used. It is noted that, despite the widespread use of arched structures made of reinforced concrete, there are still no generalizing conclusions and recommendations for determining their actual bearing capacity and strengthening methods in the domestic literature. During the tests, a breaking load of 600 kN was achieved, that is, the bearing capacity of the arch, determined experimentally, was 0.845 of the value obtained by numerical analysis, although, as a rule, in our experimental studies of other structures, the theoretical value of the bearing capacity turned out to be lower than the actual one. In this case, the destruction occurred in the support part, i.e. at the junction of the support (heel) and the arch, which is explained by the lack of reinforcement of the heel. The results of experimental and numerical studies of a concrete arch indicate that under this loading scheme, almost equal stresses arise in all cross sections of the arch. Obviously, the bearing capacity of the structure can be increased due to the uniform dispersed reinforcement of the arch and reinforcement of the heel with bar reinforcement, which determines the direction of our further research.
