OPENSTREETMAP ELEMENT VECTORISATION - A TOOL FOR HIGH RESOLUTION DATA INSIGHTS AND ITS USABILITY IN THE LAND-USE AND LAND-COVER DOMAIN
Authors: Schott M. , Lautenbach S. , Größchen L. , Zipf A.
Published: August 2022

Abstract. OpenStreetMap offers manifold possibilities for spatial analysis and location based services. However, fitness for purpose is a commonly discussed issue. As external datasets of high quality are frequently missing, many assessments rely on intrinsic methods. Existing tools for intrinsic data analysis tend to focus on specific topics and/or regions. We present a tool that provides access to currently 32 attributes or indicators at the level of single OpenStreetMap objects. These indicators cover aspects concerning the element itself, surrounding objects and the editors of the object. The usability of the tool was proven on the use case of land-use and land-cover polygons. We applied the tool to 1000 randomly sampled polygons. A tendency that OpenStreetMap objects in more densely populated areas were smaller was detected. Age and size of the objects differed across the continents with older and smaller objects in Europe and North America. A k-means cluster analysis was used to identify groups in the data. This detected a cluster highly influenced by North American lakes that originate from imports. The tool offers amble opportunities for future research, supports the OpenStreetMap community by making informed planning decisions for future activities and enables data consumers to make informed decisions on data usage. While the development was made with land-use and land-cover information in mind, the tool can be seamlessly applied to any polygonal OpenStreetMap data and also supports linear and point data.
ANALYSIS OF THE SPATIOTEMPORAL ACCUMULATION PROCESS OF MAPILLARY DATA AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH OSM ROAD DATA: A CASE STUDY IN JAPAN
Authors: Seto T. , Nishimura Y.
Published: August 2022

Abstract. This paper presents a geospatial analysis of a FlatGeobuf database composed of six years of geographic data on approximately 41.7 million Mapillary photo shooting locations throughout Japan and geospatial data including road data from OpenStreetMap (OSM). Although Mapillary has a shorter track record than OSM, it is a massive data source and its use as a new resource for volunteered geographic information is expected to attract attention in the future. Therefore, we aim to clarify the geographical distribution of Mapillary users and time-series transitions and attempt to analyze the relationships of these road landscape images with OSM road data and the local geographical distribution characteristics. Although the geographical distribution of Mapillary locations is biased, much information is collected for local roads, which may improve the quality of OSM road data and expand the overall road data.
MULTI-BRANCH DEEP LEARNING BASED TRANSPORT MODE DETECTION USING WEAKLY SUPERVISED LABELS
Authors: Vinayaraj P. , Mede K.
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Mobility data, based on global positioning system (GPS) tracking, have been widely used in many areas. These include, but not limited to: user direction guidance, analyzing travel patterns, and evaluating travel impacts. Transport Mode Detection (TMD) is an essential factor in understanding mobility within the transport system. A TMD model assigns a GPS point or a GPS trajectory to a particular transport mode based on the user’s current activity. However, the complexity of the prediction procedure increases with the number of modes that need to be predicted given the increasing overlaps in feature values between multiple transportation modes. Hence, this study proposes a two-branch deep learning-based TMD model that predicts multi-class transport modes to improve prediction accuracy. In addition, it proposed a weakly supervised labelling model using snorkel to improve the volume of labelled data and resulting TMD model prediction accuracy. We considered publicly available road networks, railway networks, bus routes, etc., for creating road, bus, train labels by overlaying GPS points on these transportation networks. We introduced a boolean (true/false) based soft-labelling function, where the same GPS point overlaid on road or railway network. The raw GPS data were used to generate point-level features such as speed, speed difference, acceleration, acceleration difference, initial bearing and bearing difference, all used as derived features for the TMD model. To construct the model we opted to use two branches where raw GPS latitude and longitude values were used in one and the derived mobility features are used in the other.

Abstract. Extreme temperatures have reached unprecedented levels in many regions of the globe due to climate change, and a further increase is expected. Besides other consequences, high temperatures increase the mortality risk and severely affect the labour productivity of workers. We perform a high-resolution spatial analysis to assess the impacts of heat on mortality and labour productivity in Switzerland and project their development under different Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios, considering that no socio-economic changes take place. The model is based on the risk framework of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which combines the three risk components: hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. We model the two impact categories in the same spatially explicit framework, and we integrate uncertainties into the analysis by a Monte Carlo simulation. We model first that about 658 deaths are associated with heat exposure currently each year in Switzerland. Second, the economic costs caused by losses in labour productivity amount to around CHF 665 million (approx. USD 700 million) per year. Should we remain on an RCP8.5 emissions pathway, these values may double (for mortality) or even triple (for labour productivity) by the end of the century. Under an RCP2.6 scenario impacts are expected to slightly increase and peak around mid-century, when climate is assumed to stop warming. Even though uncertainties in the model are large, the underlying trend in impacts is unequivocal. The results of the study are valuable information for political discussions and allow for a better understanding of the cost of inaction.
Un policial contra el crimen de lo trascendente: Mario Levrero y un programa para la subversión del género
Authors: Rivadeneira Blas Gabriel
Published: August 2022

We propose a critical reading of the novels Nick Carter se divierte mientras el lector es asesinado y yo agonizo (1975), La banda del ciempiés (2010) and Dejen todo en mis manos (1996), which make up the crime trilogy, by Mario Levrero. The Uruguayan builds his figure as a "rare" author from the use of marginalized materials and disciplines, among them, the crime fiction that goes through his writing project. However, in a strategy of dissimulation, he points out it as a type of closed and commercial literature that closes the transformation of the reader. We argue that, through parody, display of artifice, or hyperbolic variants of paranoid fiction, Levrero sets out to subvert these boundaries. The writer appropriates the crime novel to develop another search which, while dismantling the protocols of the genre, enables its possibilities of modifying the subject. Against the crime of the transcendent by modern society that deprives the subject of luminous experiences, his poetics pursues contact with the Spirit or the Unconscious, interchangeable in his worldview. He thus manifests his program that conceives writing as a therapeutic device.
Interacción polémica y multivalencia del discurso utópico: la teoría de la comunicación de Algo más, de Marcelo Cohen

Un misterio sin enigma: gótico, espacio urbano y exotismo en La luz argentina de César Aira
Authors: Guerra Juan José
Published: August 2022

The aim of this paper is to analyze La luz argentina (1983), by César Aira, based on the verification that it constitutes the first urban-themed piece in the writer’s work. Our hypothesis is that the prolific series that makes up the urban cycle in Aira’s work, identified almost exclusively with the Flores cycle, is actually inaugurated with this novel. Although La luz argentina tells a story of interiors in which the city appears mostly indirectly, the characters’ refuge of intimacy does not constitute a hermetic and impermeable space but, on the contrary, is haunted by the outside. Thus, the city imposes its ghostly presence even in domestic life and not only through the nocturnal excursions of the characters.

Impacts of Land Cover Change Caused by Urbanization on the Flood Regime of Msimbazi Catchment in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Authors: Kibugu Chrisogonous , Munishi Subira , Kongo Victor
Published: August 2022

The hydrological processes of a catchment are the function of climate, land use and land cover. Changes in either climate or land use or land cover can result in alteration of the catchment’s hydrological processes. In the recent past, Msimbazi catchment in Dar es Salaam has undergone drastic land cover changes mainly due to urbanisation. These land cover changes caused changes in the behaviour of river flow resulting in frequent floods. Therefore, this study analyses the impacts of the changes in land cover due to urbanisation specifically with the changes in river flow, surface run-off and base-flows. Previously generated land cover maps of Msimbazi catchment and a combination of spatial and meteorological climate datasets were used to parameterise the hydrological model (SWAT). The model was calibrated and validated using the Sequential Uncertainty Fitting algorithm (SUFI-2) on a monthly resolution. The results show that there is an increase in surface run-off, mean river flow and the reduction of base-flow with the increase in urbanisation within the catchment. These increase in river flows, surface run-off and reduction of base-flow indicates the likelihood of an increase in flooding events in the catchment.

Restructuring: A Catholicon for the Stability of Nigerian Federalism
Authors: M.H. Deinibiteim , T. Mercy
Published: August 2022

Nigeria has, over the last three decades, observed threats to its corporate existence as a federation due to the dissatisfaction of the various ethnic nationalities. This dissatisfaction has necessitated the growth of ethnic and micro-nationalistic groups requesting that the country be restructured. Hence the clamour for “restructuring” is high more than ever in the country, with the different ethnic groups advocating for one form of restructuring of the other; while others are threatening to secede from the union. Successive governments have made efforts to pacify the different ethnic nationalities to keep fate with the Nigerian federation with little success, as the agitations for restructuring and threats to disintegrate remain all times high. Consequently, there is strong political rivalry, among the different ethnic groups, which has substantially created political instability in the nation. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to demonstrate that genuine and sincere restructuring of the Nigerian State will to a large extent dowse the threats to Nigerian federalism. The study adopted the Cooperative Federalism strand of the Modern Approach of Federalism, which is anchored on cooperation and interdependence among component units of governments, to explain the necessity for restructuring the Nigerian State. The study used mainly secondary data related to federalism, restructuring and political stability. The study revealed that there has not been a sincere effort at restructuring the Nigerian State since the collapse of the First Republic through a coup d’état, which to a large extent made the country operate as a unitary state and this has fueled ethnic rivalry as well as underdevelopment in the country. The paper concluded that for Nigerian federalism to be substantially free from stress and strains there must be a concerted effort at sincerely restructuring the polity. The study recommended among other things, that government should expedite action to restructure the Nigerian State, engage the dissatisfied and agitating groups clamouring for self-determination, grant greater autonomy to the sub-units, and allow the states to explore and exploit mineral resources in their domain for maximum productivity and development.
A Classification of Al-hur Arabic Poetry and Classical Arabic
Poetry by Using Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes, and Linear
Support Vector Classification
Authors: Ahmed Muneef Abdullah
Published: August 2022

Most of the world languages have made strides in analyzing and classifying texts electronically;
hence, the use of electronic text has become a great alternative to manual classification as it reduces time, cost, and
difficulty. However, in the Arabic language, electronic analysis has not progressed due to several limitations faced by
researchers in this field, such as the complexity of the Arabic language, the lack of related research, as well as the use
of the classical Arabic language. In addition, Arabic poetry has other limitations, such as the use of a system that uses
a single activation function. In this research, a new method was developed for the classification of the classical Arabic
poetry and Al-hur poetry. This new approach is based on features that indicate the type of poetry. Pre-processing of
some data is important in this new approach as it helps increase the accuracy of classification
Latin American Nursing and Its Social and Cultural Resignification
Authors: Velásquez Jiménez Claudia Marcela
Published: August 2022

The article reflects on the importance of leadership and empowerment in Latin American nursing as a collective body responsible for participating in and making public health and health worker policies. For this, it spotlights the contribution that nursing, as a discipline based on research and theory, makes to knowledge, which relies upon the evidence of care in the health-disease process of individuals, families, and groups. It also posits the region’s nurse shortage issue, the unequal recognition of nursing as a human care profession, and the need for action and prominence to face the challenge of redefining it.

Objectives: This study aimed to map evidence of eye care interventions in managing critical or surgical patients submitted to prone positions. Materials and method: This scoping review was prepared according to the Joanna Briggs Institute’s methodology, following the PRISMA-ScR criteria. A search was conducted from July to August 2020 in the SCOPUS, Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed Central, CINAHL, and COCHRANE databases. The following research question was delimited: “What are the strategies and interventions used for eye care in the management of critical patients or surgical patients submitted to the prone position?” The sample consisted of 24 studies after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Eye care interventions in managing critical/surgical patients submitted to the prone position were eye examination, use of lubricants/specific ophthalmic solution, reverse Trendelenburg positioning, and protection with adhesive tape. Conclusions: This review allowed the understanding of eye care for critical/surgical patients in a prone position. Among the care presented, a large part is related to nursing since it is closer to patient care. The findings emphasize the need to implement patient safety policies with eye care as a priority.

As ações descritas envolvem o diagnóstico das necessidades escolares com envolvimento da comunidade interna e externa, a sistematização e institucionalização das ações, o desenvolvimento de práticas morais pautadas na gestão democrática e na valorização do protagonismo, e a formação inicial e continuada de docentes e demais membros da comunidade educativa. Mesmo considerando as especificidades de cada instituição aqui citada, sua região ou país de origem, espera-se que as ilustrações trazidas, com destaque para seus princípios e práticas, inspirem reflexões frutíferas sobre a urgência da educação para a convivência ética e modos de organizá-la.
O bem-estar subjetivo de professores: uma investigação em tempos de pandemia
Authors: Lapa Junior Luiz Gonzaga
Published: August 2022

As pandemias, como a da COVID-19, afetam uma quantidade relativamente grande de pessoas e impõem novas regras e hábitos sociais para a população mundial. O distanciamento social e o fechamento de escolas, bem como a nova forma do docente trabalhar, pode promover mudanças em seu sistema emocional. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o bem-estar subjetivo (BES) em docentes de três municípios de Goiás. Participaram 481 docentes, com idades entre 25 a 64 anos, no qual 319 são do gênero feminino (66,3%). Utilizou-se a Escala de Bem-Estar Subjetivo (EBES) de Albuquerque e Tróccoli (2004). Apesar dos momentos de pandemia os resultados apontam a predominância de afetos positivos e uma indefinição quanto à satisfação com a vida. Destacam-se os afetos negativos apresentando uma correlação direta com satisfação com a vida (r=0,206, ρ< 0,01) e o fator geral do BES teve uma forte correlação positiva com os afetos negativos (r=0,721, ρ< 0,01). Investigar o bem-estar subjetivo de docentes é importante no campo da Educação para o planejamento de ações e políticas públicas quanto à saúde coletiva e felicidade desses sujeitos.
A escuta crítica e o aspecto dialógico da educação moral: a concepção de J. F. Herbart do professor como guia moral
Authors: English Andrea
Published: August 2022

Em seu trabalho educacional central, Pedagogia geral derivada do fim da educação (1806), J. F. Herbart não desenvolveu explicitamente uma teoria da escuta, entretanto, seu conceito de professor como um guia no desenvolvimento moral do educando, fornece percepções valiosas sobre a dimensão moral da escuta inerente à interação professor-aluno. A teoria de Herbart questiona radicalmente a linearidade assumida entre escuta e obediência à autoridade externa, não apenas iluminando distinções importantes entre socialização e educação, mas também ressaltando as consequências para nossa compreensão do papel da escuta nas relações educacionais. Nesta investigação argumenta-se que a escuta crítica no ensino contribui para a educação moral e o desenvolvimento do aluno. Para tanto, examina-se a visão de Herbart sobre a tarefa do professor como um guia moral no campo da educação moral. Sustenta-se que reexaminar a teoria da educação de Herbart (uma teoria que é, majoritariamente, não mais discutida na filosofia educacional anglo-americana) pode ser producente à nossa compreensão da educação moral em sociedades democráticas e plurais.
Complexidade e educação: a pedagogia de Herbart e seus conceitos próprios
Authors: Volpicelli Ignazio
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo é fruto de revisão bibliográfica, de perspectiva hermenêutica e analítica. O autor busca reconstruir as reflexões de Johann Friedrich Herbart, sinalizando para como este pensador situa a pedagogia na complexa relação interna e externamente, com outras áreas e campos epistemológicos. Johann Friedrich Herbart pode ser considerado o pai da pedagogia acadêmica ao sistematizar e alçá-la ao campo epistêmico e de investigação. Para tanto exige a necessidade de a pedagogia ocupar-se com a formulação e construção de conceitos próprios que deem conta da especificidade de seu objeto. Porém, tal tarefa exige que a nascente pedagogia acadêmica se exercite no complexo diálogo com outros campos de saber, principalmente no exercício filosófico, evitando justamente a prática parasitária de importar conceitos de outros campos de saber.

Published: August 2022

The current study was conducted to investigate the effect of the anabolic androgen Methandrostenolone (Dianabol) on some parameters of fertility in male rabbits. In this experiment, (20) adult male rabbits were used, randomly divided into two groups, each group 10 animals. Control group: The animals were dosed with distilled water. The treatment group: The animals were orally dosed with (Dianabol) within a course that lasted (8) weeks in an ascending manner: (0.076, 0.152, 0.304, 0.38, 0.456, 0.532, 0.608, 0.684) mg/kg/d each dose for consecutive 7days. In the end of the experiment period the results showed a significant decrease (P≤ 0.05) in the ratio of testes and epididymis weight to the body weight of the animal in addition to tissue damage that included a significant decrease (P≤0.05) in the level of germinal epithelium height of the seminiferous tubules and a significant decrease (P≤0.05) in the thickness of the epididymis wall, also our results showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the total number of sperm, sperm motility and survival rate in the treatment group animals compared with control group animals. We conclude from this study that anabolic androgen Methandrostenolone has a significant negative effect on fertility in male rabbits.

Aim: To investigate the correlation between mandibular third molar impactions and the skeletal face type both sagittally and vertically. Study design: Cross-sectional study Place and duration of study: Avicenna dental hospital, Lahore from July 2019 to September 2021. Methodology: Pre-treatment records of 135 patients visiting the Orthodontics department of Avicenna Dental Hospital, including history, clinical examination, photos, study casts and radiographs were retrospectively studied to determine the skeletal face type and status of mandibular third molars. Relationship of skeletal face type was correlated with the impacted third molars. Results: Mean age of the patients was 22 years with more (67%) patients being females. Mandibular third molar impactions were 39.58% in skeletal Class I, 57.53% in Class II and 35.71% in Class III respectively. Both mandibular third molars were found impacted in 64.28% dolicofacial, 53.96% mesofacial and 53.33% brachyfacial patients. Conclusion: Mandibular third molars are impacted in many patients reporting to Orthodontics department. Both mandibular third molars were significantly more impacted in dolicofacial skeletal face type and skeletal Class II individuals. Keywords: Skeletal face type, dolicofacial, brachyfacial, mesofacial, growth pattern, molar impactions, Orthodontics.
(Inconvenient) Truth or Fairy-tale: Sustainability at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Authors: Hoekman Sabien
Published: August 2022

This mixed methods research aims to understand how staff and students of the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VUA) experience the sustainability initiatives of the university. Sustainability in organizations is gaining importance now that organizations feel socially responsible for their ecological impact and are held accountable for this impact. VUA claims to have developed policies and practices to try to become a more sustainable organization. This research aims to discover what the frontstage of these initiatives entails and how they are experienced in the backstage by staff and students. This led to the research question: How can the frontstage and the backstage of sustainability initiatives of the VUA be aligned? Methods used to gain an understanding of the frontstage and backstage of the sustainability initiatives of VUA are qualitative ethnographic methods (fieldwork, interviewing, participant observation, observation and document analysis) and a quantitative survey. The data gathered offers insight into the sustainability initiatives of VUA as they are presented to the outside world and experienced in practice, concluding that the faculty and students of the Faculty of Social Science experience a discrepancy between the front and backstage of the sustainability accounting efforts of VUA.

Introduction: there are limited available studies on LV hemodynamics alteration after trans-catheter PDA closure particularly diastolic function and most of studies are with 2D echocardiography. Objective: to evaluate the effect of trans-catheter closure of PDA on LV systolic and diastolic function in children and young adults using 2D and 3D echocardiography. Materials and methods: Al-Azhar University hospitals hosted this prospective cohort study, which included 20 patients with isolated PDA who had been referred to Cath lab for trans-catheter PDA closure; LV function evaluated by 2D, 3D echocardiography and TDI before, one day after closure and on follow-up. Results: 45% of patients developed post closure LV systolic dysfunction which improved completely after 3 months of follow up, all studied patients showed significant decrease in LAD, LAD/AoD, LVEDd, LVEDs, LVEDVI and LVESVI after 3 months of trans-catheter PDA closure; (LAD/AoD, LVEDVI, LVESVI, FS and LVEF) can be used as predictors of post closure LV systolic dysfunction, diastolic function was worse in individuals with post closure LV systolic dysfunction.
Image processing techniques for the segmentation of cervical cancer
Authors: Poornappriya T. S. , Gopinath R.
Published: August 2022

The most prevalent type of cancer in women worldwide is uterine cervical cancer. The majority of cervical cancer (CC) cases can be avoided by participating in screening programmes that look for precancerous lesions. Colposcopic cervigrams or images from digital colposcopy have been acquired in raw form. This study presents a novel framework that combines image enhancement, pre-processing, and image segmentation to identify cervical cancer. Three phases make up this framework: the Dual Tree Discrete Wavelet Transform (DTDWT) for pre-processing, the Curvelet transform and Contour Transform (CC) for image improvement, and the K-means clustering for segmentation.

Fully residential schools (FRS) or boarding schools in Malaysia produce quality candidates with towering personalities. This study seeks to explore the choice of career as well as the parents and gender influences on the career as a teacher among top FRS students in Malaysia. A survey design, which is mainly quantitative in nature, was used in this empirical study. A self-designed questionnaire was used in collecting data from 305 participants from three top FRS in Malaysia. This study revealed that only 6.2% of students selected 'teacher' as a career of choice. Other respondents opted for different professions such as medical doctors, engineers, and scientists. Of the students who chose ‘teacher’ as their career of choice, 31.6% have one or both parents from a teaching background. The study also found that the influence of gender on the career as a teacher was not significant with t(303) = 0.446, p = 0.656. Several recommendations were made. This study suggests further increasing the FRS students' exposure to the teaching career with the recommendations proposed.
