Interlinkages of Water-Related SDG Indicators Globally and in Low-Income Countries
Authors: Rimba Andi Besse , Hirabayashi Yukiko
Published: February 2023

The international community has committed to protecting the Earth and its ecosystems, thus ensuring wellbeing, economic growth, and a sustainable environment, by applying 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), including many related to water. These goals and their indicators can have synergistic, trade-off, or neutral interlinkages. This study measured the interlinkages between 31 SDG indicators directly or indirectly related to water belonging to seven categories: extreme water events, water availability, water quality and waterborne diseases, energy-related water, industry and technology-related water, water governance and management, and ecosystem-related water. All the indicators were paired, resulting in 450 pairs. The interlinkage between water-related indicators globally and in low-income countries (LIC) were determined by Spearman’s rank correlation (ρ), and standardized multilinear regression was applied to identify the dominant drivers of synergistic and trade-off interactions. The finding shows that water quality, waterborne disease, and energy-related water are the most feasible to achieve in SDGs in global and LIC. The local government may take advantage from this study. Moreover, the government should pay attention in developing and providing alternative energy especially in LIC due to some trade-offs appeared with health and social conflict may arise. The interaction between indicators become the main driver of synergy/trade-off over population and GDP in interlinkage water related SDGs.
Full-Scale Sewage Sludge Reduction Technologies: A Review with a Focus on Energy Consumption
Authors: Ferrentino Roberta , Langone Michela , Fiori Luca , Andreottola Gianni
Published: February 2023

In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the problem of sewage sludge management and the relevant energy consumption, which represent the main cost items in wastewater treatment plants. Therefore, implementation of technologies that can reduce sludge production and ensure a positive impact on the energy of the entire sewage treatment plant has gained considerable importance in the scientific and technical community. The objective of this study was thus to screen full-scale sludge reduction technologies integrated into both the water line and the sludge line of a municipal sewage treatment plant with a sustainable impact on the overall balance of the plant. The results showed that, within the water line, ultrasound in the recirculation line of the activated sludge allowed for greater reductions in sludge production than the Cannibal and UTN systems, despite the higher energy consumption. CAMBITM, BioThelysTM, ExelysTM and TurboTec® enabled the greatest reductions in sludge production among the technologies integrated into the sludge line, and although they required a large amount of energy, this was partially offset by energy recovery in terms of additional biogas production.
Applications of Advanced Technologies in the Development of Urban Flood Models
Authors: Yan Yuna , Zhang Na , Zhang Han
Published: February 2023

Over the past 10 years, urban floods have increased in frequency because of extreme rainfall events and urbanization development. To reduce the losses caused by floods, various urban flood models have been developed to realize urban flood early warning. Using CiteSpace software’s co-citation analysis, this paper reviews the characteristics of different types of urban flood models and summarizes state-of-the-art technologies for flood model development. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology provides an innovative approach to the construction of data-driven models; nevertheless, developing an AI model coupled with flooding processes represents a worthwhile challenge. Big data (such as remote sensing, crowdsourcing geographic, and Internet of Things data), as well as spatial data management and analysis methods, provide critical data and data processing support for model construction, evaluation, and application. The further development of these models and technologies is expected to improve the accuracy and efficiency of urban flood simulations and provide support for the construction of a multi-scale distributed smart flood simulation system.

Published: February 2023

This study highlights the implementation of an electronic tongue composed of carbon screen-printed electrodes, which were used to discriminate and classify pesticides, such as Curathane, Numetrin, and Nativo in water. Therefore, to verify the capacity and performance of the sensory system, solutions of each of the pesticides at a concentration of 10 ppm were prepared in the laboratory and compared with distilled water. Furthermore, to evaluate the minimum detection limit of the electronic tongue, solutions were prepared at different concentrations: 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, and 0.25 ppm, respectively. The analysis and classification of the different categories and concentrations were obtained from the use of pattern recognition and automatic learning methods, such as principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (kNN), and naïve Bayes, during this process; the techniques accomplished more than 90% accuracy in pesticide concentrations. Finally, a 100% success rate in classifying the compound types was completely achieved.
Assessing Spatial Variability and Trends of Droughts in Eastern Algeria Using SPI, RDI, PDSI, and MedPDSI—A Novel Drought Index Using the FAO56 Evapotranspiration Method
Authors: Merabti Abdelaaziz , Darouich Hanaa , Paredes Paula , Meddi Mohamed , Pereira Luis Santos
Published: February 2023

Drought is one of the most severe natural disasters worldwide, but with a particular emphasis in sub-humid and semi-arid climates. Several indices have been created to appropriately identify drought’s characteristics and variability. The main objectives of this study consisted of analyzing the behavior of different indices applied in northeast Algeria and comparing them across a long-term data set (1961–2014). The SPI and RDI at 9-month time scales were compared to the PDSI and MedPDSI based on 123 rainfall stations and gridded PET data interpolated to all the locations. A principal component analysis (PCA) in S-mode with varimax rotation (RPC) was applied to the monthly values of all indices to analyze the spatiotemporal patterns of droughts. Two principal components were retained, which identified two sub-regions with coherent differences related to their distance from the Mediterranean Sea and the UNEP aridity index. Trends in the RPC scores were assessed using the modified Mann–Kendall (MMK) test and Sen’s slope estimator, which showed a fundamental difference between the two sub-regions. The RPC of all drought indices showed trends of decreases in the frequency and severity of droughts in the northern sub-region, and trends of increases in the frequency and severity of droughts in the southern region, where the climate is mostly semi-arid and arid. Only a few cases were statistically significant, mostly when using the PDSI and MedPDSI for the southern sub-region. The spatial patterns of moderate, severe, and extreme drought occurrences were similar for the SPI and RDI pair of indices based on the probability of rainfall anomalies, and for the Sc-PDSI and MedPDSI pair based on water balance anomalies. The interpretation of the spatial variability of droughts, mainly of the extreme ones, was supported by an analysis of semi-variograms. The novel index MedPDSI compared well with the other indices and showed advantages of performing the soil water balance following the FAO56 dual Kc method with the actual olive evapotranspiration instead of PET, and of better explaining the spatial variability of extreme droughts; in addition, the trends detected were significant for both the northern and southern sub-regions.
Decision Strategy Tool for the Design of Natural Treatment Systems for Wastewater (NTSW) from Isolated Livestock Farms
Authors: Garcia-Ramirez Tania , Mendieta-Pino Carlos A. , León-Zerpa Federico , Ramos-Martin Alejandro , Brito-Espino Saulo , Martel-Rodríguez Gilberto M.
Published: February 2023

This work proposes a series of strategies and tools for the design and characterization of natural treatment systems of wastewater (NTSW) applied in livestock farms, considering the parameters of flow rate (Q), conductivity (EC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the waste generated, farm location, hydraulic retention time (HRT), and removal/reduction rate targets. The high organic load of the effluent generated in these farms has an important environmental impact, which is amplified in insular or isolated territories. The application of such treatment systems has demonstrated their suitability in these environments, but their design lacks proper characterization and sizing tools for their adequate operation. The proposed tools in this work are based on a collection of experimental data over a ten-year period of application of NTSW in real farms. This work contributes to facilitate the design and implementation of NTSW in farms located in isolated, island, or similar-size environments. Finally, as a practical application, an inventory and implementation of the tool developed for livestock farms on the island of Gran Canaria (Spain) is carried out.

Freshwater protected areas are designated parts of the inland waters that restrict human activities. They were created as a mechanism to combat the decline of fauna and flora of the world. Some authors have questioned their actual effectiveness in terms of the purpose of protecting endangered fauna and flora. We conducted an experiment in Lipno reservoir in the Czech Republic to evaluate the impact of protection against angling pressure on the fish community. We selected data from two years of gill netting and analyzed the difference between areas of low anthropogenic impact (LAI) and those of high anthropogenic impact (HAI) in terms of abundance, biomass, standard length, and diversity indices. Three groups of fish were found to prefer protected areas with low anthropogenic pressure: 1. YOY (Young-of-the-year) perch (Perca fluviatilis), the dominant of the young-of-the-year fish community. 2. Pike (Esox lucius), wels catfish (Silurus glanis) and rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus), which were not found in HAI areas at all. 3. Larger individuals of pikeperch (Stizostedion lucioperca), which survived better in LAI areas. Some factors may affect LAI, such as illegal poaching or setting out food bait to attract the fish outside. Another factor that can be considered is the migration of fish, either to forage or to reproduce, since the LAI areas are open to the reservoir. The areas of LAI act as protective habitats for heavily exploited predatory fish species and increase fish diversity indexes. The example of the protected and low-impact areas of Lipno should be followed in other water bodies with high fishing pressure and anthropogenic impact.
Comparison of Machine Learning Algorithms for Merging Gridded Satellite and Earth-Observed Precipitation Data
Authors: Papacharalampous Georgia , Tyralis Hristos , Doulamis Anastasios , Doulamis Nikolaos
Published: February 2023

Gridded satellite precipitation datasets are useful in hydrological applications as they cover large regions with high density. However, they are not accurate in the sense that they do not agree with ground-based measurements. An established means for improving their accuracy is to correct them by adopting machine learning algorithms. This correction takes the form of a regression problem, in which the ground-based measurements have the role of the dependent variable and the satellite data are the predictor variables, together with topography factors (e.g., elevation). Most studies of this kind involve a limited number of machine learning algorithms and are conducted for a small region and for a limited time period. Thus, the results obtained through them are of local importance and do not provide more general guidance and best practices. To provide results that are generalizable and to contribute to the delivery of best practices, we here compare eight state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms in correcting satellite precipitation data for the entire contiguous United States and for a 15-year period. We use monthly data from the PERSIANN (Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks) gridded dataset, together with monthly earth-observed precipitation data from the Global Historical Climatology Network monthly database, version 2 (GHCNm). The results suggest that extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) and random forests are the most accurate in terms of the squared error scoring function. The remaining algorithms can be ordered as follows, from the best to the worst: Bayesian regularized feed-forward neural networks, multivariate adaptive polynomial splines (poly-MARS), gradient boosting machines (gbm), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), feed-forward neural networks and linear regression.
Floating Photovoltaic Plants as an Effective Option to Reduce Water Evaporation in Water-Stressed Regions and Produce Electricity: A Case Study of Lake Nasser, Egypt
Authors: Abdelgaied Mohamed , Kabeel Abd Elnaby , Zeleňáková Martina , Abd-Elhamid Hany F.
Published: February 2023

Water resources are considered one of the most critical and indispensable elements to ensure the survival of all living organisms on the planet. Since there is a close relationship between water, energy, and food security, this interdependence presents a major global societal challenge. While Egypt is one of the countries that suffers the most from water poverty, it has Lake Nasser which is considered one of the largest artificial lakes in the world, with an estimated area of about 5250 km2. Hence, this work aims to conserve such water resources while addressing two critical issues related to water and energy. To achieve this goal, this study proposed the use of partial coverage technology on Lake Nasser with floating photovoltaic (FPV) panels. The results of the study showed that the partial coverage of Lake Nasser with FPV panels represents a very effective proposal to preserve the water resources of Egypt, which suffers from water poverty. The savings in water evaporation in Lake Nasser reached 61.71% (9,074,081,000 m3/year) and the annual rate of electricity production was 467.99 TWh/year when 50% of the area of Lake Nasser was covered with FPV panels.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused massive economic, social and moral damage to humanity. Repeated waves of morbidity three years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic require a comprehensive analysis of the epidemic situation and the problems of organizing and conducting preventive and anti-epidemic measures. A retrospective analysis of the incidence of COVID-19 and community-acquired pneumonia in the Jalal-Abad region of the Kyrgyz Republic in 2020 and 2021 was carried out. The frequency of detection of virus genetic material in nasopharyngeal smears was studied. An assessment of the coverage of vaccinations against COVID-19 and the proportion of people who sought medical care in day hospitals was carried out. It was found that several factors contributed to the decrease in the incidence of COVID-19 at once — the variability of pathogens, an increase in the proportion of the population ith specific protection, and the implementation of demarcation measures. A distinctive feature of the Jalal-Abad region was the deployment of day hospitals operating on the principle of the «red zone». This made it possible to increase the coverage of the population with medical care and prevent the further spread of the pathogen. The ongoing pandemic requires additional research and adjustment of countermeasures when new factors and circumstances are identified.

Grammaire et métalangage dans le Liber glossarum
Authors: Biondi Laura
Published: February 2023

This paper deals with the contribution of the grammaticalia to the LG’s composition, and it tries to propose a typological classification for glosses having a metalinguistic nature. The typological continuum emerging from this classification (even if it results from an initial and, consequently, incomplete amount of research) makes it possible to appreciate the importance attributed to Latin grammar by the LG, and to show its treatment in the glosses’ textual domain (strategies of selection, composition and/ or rewriting). It also reveals the complexity and high level of consciousness of the project and the editorial mechanisms sustaining such a significant opus of the Mediaeval glossographical tradition. In particular, the comparison between the long gloss LI 524 Litterae and its Isidorian model (Isid., etym. I, 3-4) illustrates the degree of independence and the reelaboration and reinterpretation that guide the writer to a reading of the source, by changing the argumentative sequence and reformulating it for a pedagogical goal that is different from that of Isidore of Seville.
Afrique, langues en danger et diversité linguistique
Authors: Nouguier Voisin Sylvie
Published: February 2023

Cet article se focalise sur la problématique des langues en danger en Afrique et plus particulièrement nous nous interrogeons sur l’affirmation selon laquelle la situation de ce continent est moins préoccupante que dans d’autres régions du monde. Après un rappel rapide de ce que l’on entend par langues en danger et des différents éléments considérés comme accélérant un phénomène «naturel » pour les langues, nous nous focalisons sur trois facteurs souvent invoqués et qui semblent induire cette vision particulière de la position des langues africaines face à la problématique des langues en danger. Nous nous attacherons à voir si ces facteurs sont suffisants pour expliquer ce constat. Nous tenterons de voir si la sauvegarde de la diversité linguistique passe nécessairement par la description et de la documentation des langues en danger hors de ce continent.
First codification of Vietnamese by 17th-century missionaries: the description of tones and the influence of Portuguese on Vietnamese orthography
Authors: Fernandes Gonçalo , Assunção Carlos
Published: February 2023

We analyse the importance of the generation of Jesuit pioneer missionaries at the service of the Portuguese Patronage for the implementation of quốc ngữ [ national language] in present-day Vietnam and the linguistic description of the tonology of Annamese or Tonkinese (former names of Vietnamese). We analyse, in particular, the manuscript Manuductio ad Linguam Tunckinensem (ca. 1745 [ ante 1623]) by Francisco de Pina, S. J. (1585/ 1586– 1625), and the Dictionarium Annamiticum Lusitanum et Latinum and the grammatical treatise Linguae Annamiticae seu Tunchinensis Brevis Declaratio (Rome 1651) by Alexandre de Rhodes, S. J. (1593– 1660). We corroborate that Pina was indeed the first to use the Romanization system of Tonkinese, and we establish that he was also the first to describe its six tones in detail. Rhodes expanded Pina’s knowledge, which is particularly explicit in the description of Tonkinese tonology. We also explain that Rhodes used lost manuscript dictionaries written by Gaspar do Amaral, S. J. (1594– 1646) and António Barbosa, S. J. (1594– 1647), which is evident mainly in the use of the “ Portuguese” digraph < nh> to represent the phoneme /ɲ/.

Published: February 2023

Transbronchial biopsy sampling, as a minimally invasive method with relatively low risk, has been proved to be a promising treatment in the field of respiratory surgery. Although several robotic bronchoscopes have been developed, it remains a great challenge to balance size and flexibility, while integrating multisensors to realize navigation during complex airway networks. This paper proposes a novel robotic bronchoscope system composed by end effector with relatively small size, relevant actuation unit, and navigation system with path planning and surgical guidance capability. The main part of the end effector is machined by bidirectional groove on a nickel–titanium tube, which can realize bending, rotation, and translation 3 degrees of freedom. A prototype of the proposed robotic bronchoscope system is designed and fabricated, and its performance is tested through several experiments to verify the stiffness, flexibility, and navigation performance. The results show that the proposed system is with good environment adaptiveness, and it can become a promising biopsy method through natural cavity of the human body.
Acción social y ejercicio de la abogacía en las democracias constitucionales
Authors: Garza Onofre Juan Jesús
Published: February 2023

En un entorno en el que las democracias constitucionales parecerían ser insuficientes para evitar la incesante violación de derechos humanos emprendida por diferentes gobiernos de corte populista, resulta primordial repensar la relación entre democracia y Derecho para conocer de qué manera se pueden generar mejores condiciones para una sociedad cansada de la inacción de sus autoridades. Este artículo plantea algunas reflexiones y expone dos ejemplos respecto al rol que juegan aquellos actores jurídicos cuyas labores, por lo general, suelen pasar desapercibidas para los sistemas políticos en los que se insertan; es decir, las personas que ejercen un tipo de abogacía comprometida con la acción social y el contexto en el que se desarrollan en aras de fortalecer las reglas e instituciones que sostienen a las democracias.
Los estereotipos como mecanismos de desigualdad y alienación
Authors: Morondo Dolores
Published: February 2023

Los estereotipos han recibido una atención creciente en el derecho de los derechos humanos en cuanto forma de discriminación. Se ha hecho notar que los estereotipos implican generalizaciones que, en ciertas circunstancias, obscurecen a los sujetos individualmente considerados y, a través de un proceso de heterodesignación, esencializan sus características y comportamiento de un modo constitutivo y regulatorio. Los estereotipos son, por tanto, causa y consecuencia de un proceso de subordinación que fija las identidades y estatus de los grupos desaventajados. El daño discriminatorio de los estereotipos se asocia, por ello, a la negación de la individualidad y complejidad del sujeto, que puede impedir el libre ejercicio de la autonomía y el acceso o la garantía de derechos. Este trabajo examina desde una perspectiva estructural estos procesos de heterodesignación y las dimensiones colectivas del daño, a través del análisis de una sentencia del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos.
“Hot returns” and the cold reason of state
Authors: Aparicio Marco
Published: February 2023

The European Union is proceeding with a process of dismantling the mechanisms which, not without many difficulties, had managed to achieve a certain level of legal protection for people on the move. This progressive lack of protection is taking place both in terms of the rights that people have once they have managed to settle in one way or another in one of the countries that make up the European Union and, even more notoriously, in terms of the rights of people who are in the process of entering, in the same attempt to enter or once inside as applicants for international protection. The present text analyzes one of the main expressions of this process, which is that of pushbacks and its attempt at legal validation, taking into account the jurisprudence of the Strasbourg Court and its implications in the Spanish context.
Morality is not a recipe for a happy and trouble-free life: Interview with Zygmunt Bauman and Aleksandra Jasińska-Kania
Authors: Sielski Krzysztof
Published: February 2023

The following text is a transcript of a conversation I had with Prof. Zygmunt Bauman and Prof. Aleksandra Jasińska-Kania in the spring of 2014. At that time I was finishing writing my doctoral dissertation on Karl Popper’s social theory. I was just grappling with one of the most serious objections raised against it when – quite by accident – I came across Bauman’s Liquid Modernity and quickly realized that a number of arguments formulated in it by Bauman, could be used in defense of Popper’s theory. Without thinking too much, I wrote a letter to Professor Bauman asking whether my intuitions were correct. Just a few hours later, I received a comprehensive reply, along with an invitation to the professor’s home in Leeds for an interview, a transcript of which I present below. During the conversation we discussed topics including moral choice, the relationship between freedom and safety, distinction between ethics and morality and animal rights. Although almost a decade has passed since the following conversation was conducted, I firmly believe that the thoughts contained in this talk are of such a universal nature that they will interest the reader also, and perhaps especially today.

Este informe de tesis es el resultado de una investigación realizada en el marco de la educación primaria ecuatoriana, una investigación desde la Psicología Educacional para quienes deseen comprender el proceso de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje implicado en la dinámica profesional en relación a los planteamientos del pensamiento implícito. El principal objetivo fue analizar la relación existente entre el pensamiento implícito y modos de enseñanza, desde los constructos: teorías implícitas sobre el aprendizaje y enseñanza, estilos de pensamiento sobre la enseñanza y enfoques de enseñanza, presentes en docentes de la escuela primaria de la Cuenca Ecuador. Se llevó a cabo utilizando como muestra a 107 docentes que laboraban en escuelas de la zona urbana a los cuales se les aplicó una serie de instrumentos para determinar el tipo de pensamiento y enfoque de enseñanza que utilizaban. A nivel metodológico, la investigación se inscribe en el paradigma cuantitativo descriptivo y correlacional. Resultó que el pensamiento de los docentes se caracteriza principalmente desde un estilo de pensamiento creativo, teorías implícitas constructivista y enfoque centrado en el estudiante, esto indica que estarían en consonancia con los lineamientos psicopedagógicos establecidos por el Ministerio de Educación para la práctica educativa; también se pudo conocer que únicamente se presenta una relación significativa entre las variables enfoques de enseñanza y estilos de pensamiento. Finalmente se pudo concluir que, si bien las variables estudiadas sobre el pensamiento implícito resultan importantes para la investigación en el medio local, sin embargo, desde el análisis de su fundamento teórico conceptual se ve la necesidad de recurrir a otro tipo de metodologías que permitan comprender de manera más profunda esta temática de estudio.

This work comprehensively analyzes the error robustness of hyperdimensional computing (HDC) by using FeFET-based local multiply and global accumulate computation-in-memory. HDC trains and infers with hypervectors (HVs). Symmetric or asymmetric errors, which simulate read-disturb and data-retention errors of FeFET, are injected into Item memory and/or Associative memory before/after or during training in various cases when solving European language classification task. The detailed error injection reveals that HDC is acceptable for both symmetric and asymmetric error rate up to 10−1. Based on the detailed analysis of error robustness, training window slide (TWS) improves the error robustness against memory errors by removing data which contain different amount of errors. TWS shows 10 times higher error robustness. In addition, parallelization of HV encoding in training achieves fast training with up to 10 000 parallelism while maintaining the inference accuracy.

Recently, room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) has been reported to be found in many kinds of oxide semiconductor nanoparticles. The origin of the magnetic moment is believed to be defects because RTFM strongly depends on particle size. In this study, we have focused on the antiferromagnetic insulator Cr2O3 due to the interesting core-sell structure (RTFM/antiferromagnetism). Furthermore, RTFM found in oxide nanoparticles is expected to depend on the sample preparation condition. Here, the effect of sample preparation condition on RTFM was investigated. Samples were nanoparticles prepared by milling oxide powders in Ar or air circumstances. Both samples indicated hysteresis at room temperature. At higher temperatures than the Néel temperature (308 K), hysteresis loops were found. A significant difference was observed in the saturation magnetization. The sample prepared in air has four times smaller saturation magnetization in 60 min milling time due to self-compensation of defects with air.

The gas-phase etching of SiO2 was examined using HF and methanol vapor at temperatures below 0 °C and at low pressure. The etching rate of SiO2 increased with decreasing temperature and showed a maximum around –30 °C. The obtained etching rate was a maximum of 40 nm min−1 at plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition SiO2. The etching rate of SiN examined for comparison was more than ten times smaller than that of SiO2 under the same condition. As a result, the etching selectivity of SiO2 to SiN was found to be over 20 at –40 °C. When utilizing a low temperature of less than –30 °C, gas-phase etching of SiO2 showing a high etching rate and selectivity was achieved.
