Abstract. The number of intense wildfires may increase further in upcoming years as a consequence of climate change. It is therefore necessary to improve our knowledge about the role of smoke in the climate system, with emphasis on the impact of smoke particles on the evolution of clouds, precipitation, and cloud radiative properties. Presently, one key aspect of research is whether or not wildfire smoke particles can initiate cirrus formation. In this study, we present lidar observations over Limassol, Cyprus, from 27 October to 3 November 2020, when extended wildfire smoke fields crossed the Mediterranean Basin from Portugal to Cyprus. We found strong evidence that aged smoke (organic aerosol particles) originating from wildfires in North America triggered significant ice nucleation at temperatures from −47 to −53 ∘C and caused the formation of extended cirrus layers. The observations suggest that the ice crystals were nucleated just below the tropopause in the presence of smoke particles serving as ice-nucleating particles (INPs). The main part of the 2–3 km thick smoke layer was, however, in the lower stratosphere just above the tropopause. With actual radiosonde observations of temperature and relative humidity and lidar-derived smoke particle surface area concentrations used as starting values, gravity wave simulations show that the lofting of air by 100–200 m is sufficient to initiate significant ice nucleation on the smoke particles, leading to ice crystal number concentrations of 1–100 L−1.

Abstract. Mixing ratios of highly volatile organic compounds were studied on Utö Island in the Baltic Sea. Measurements of non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) and methanethiol were conducted using an in situ thermal desorption-gas chromatograph-flame ionization detector/mass spectrometer (TD-GC-FID/MS) from March 2018 until March 2019. The mean mixing ratios of NMHCs (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons) were at the typical levels for rural/remote sites in Europe and as expected the highest mixing ratios were measured in winter while in summertime, the mixing ratios remained close to or below detection limits for most of the studied compounds. Sources of NMHCs during wintertime were studied using positive matrix factorization (PMF) together with wind direction analyses and source area estimates. Shipping was found to be a major local anthropogenic source of NMHCs with a 21 % contribution. It contributed especially on ethene, propene and ethyne mixing ratios. Other identified sources were gasoline fuel (15 %), traffic exhaust (14 %), local solvents (6 %), and long-range transported background (42 %). Contrary to NMHCs, high mixing ratios of methanethiol were detected in summertime (July mean 1000 pptv). The mixing ratios followed the variations of seawater temperatures and sea level height and were highest during the daytime. Biogenic phytoplankton or macroalgae emissions were expected to be the main source for methanethiol.
HESS Opinions: The Sword of Damocles of the Impossible Flood
Authors: Montanari Alberto , Merz Bruno , Blöschl Günter
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Extremely large floods, or mega-floods, are often considered virtually ‘impossible’, yet are an ever-present threat similar to the sword suspended over the head of Damocles in the classical Greek anecdote. Neglecting such floods may lead to emergency situations where society is unprepared, and to disastrous consequences. Four reasons why extremely large floods are often considered next to impossible are explored here, including physical (e.g. climate change), psychological, socio-economic and combined reasons. It is argued that the risk associated with an ‘impossible’ flood may often be larger than expected, and that a bottom-up approach should be adopted that starts from the people affected and explores possibilities of risk management, giving high priority to social in addition to economic risks. Suggestions are given for managing this risk of a flood considered impossible by addressing the diverse causes of the presumed impossibility.
Geodynamic controls on clastic-dominated base metal deposits

Published: November 2023

Abstract. To meet the growing global demand for metal resources, new ore deposit discoveries are required. However, finding new, high-grade deposits, particularly those not exposed at the Earth’s surface, is very challenging. Therefore, understanding the geodynamic controls on the mineralizing processes can help identify new areas for exploration. Here we focus on clastic-dominated Zn-Pb deposits, the largest global resource of zinc and lead, which formed in sedimentary basins of extensional systems. Using numerical modelling of lithospheric extension coupled with surface erosion and sedimentation, we determine the geodynamic conditions required to generate the rare spatiotemporal window where potential metal source rocks, transport pathways and host sequences are present. We show that the largest potential metal endowment can be expected in narrow asymmetric rifts. This rift type is characterized by rift migration – a process that successively generates hyper-extended crust through sequential faulting, resulting in one wide and one narrow conjugate margin. Rift migration also leads to 1) a sufficient life-span of the migration-side border fault to accommodate a thick submarine package of sediments, including coarse (permeable) continental sediments that can act as source rock; 2) rising asthenosphere beneath the thinned lithosphere/crust resulting in elevated temperatures in these overlying sediments that are favourable to leaching metals from the source rock; 3) the deposition of organic-rich sediments that form the host rock at shallower burial depths and lower temperatures; and 4) the generation of smaller faults that cut the major basin created by the border fault and provide additional fluid pathways from source to host rock. Wide rifts with rift migration can have similarly favourable configurations, but these occur less frequently and less potential source rock is produced, thereby limiting potential metal endowment. In simulations of narrow symmetric rifts, the potential for ore formation mechanisms is low. Based on these insights, exploration programs should prioritize the narrow margins formed in asymmetric rift systems; in particular those regions within several tens of kilometres from the paleo-shoreline, where we predict the highest-value deposits to have formed.
Bias-blind and bias-aware assimilation of leaf area index into the Noah-MP land surface model over Europe

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Data assimilation (DA) of remotely sensed leaf area index (LAI) can help to improve land surface model estimates of energy, water, and carbon variables. So far, most studies have used bias-blind LAI DA approaches, i.e. without correcting for biases between model forecasts and observations. This might hamper the performance of the DA algorithms in the case of large biases in observations or simulations or both. We perform bias-blind and bias-aware DA of Copernicus Global Land Service LAI into the Noah-MP land surface model forced by the ERA5 reanalysis over Europe in the 2002–2019 period, and we evaluate how the choice of bias correction affects estimates of gross primary productivity (GPP), evapotranspiration (ET), runoff, and soil moisture. In areas with a large LAI bias, the bias-blind LAI DA leads to a reduced bias between observed and modelled LAI, an improved agreement of GPP, ET, and runoff estimates with independent products, but a worse agreement of soil moisture estimates with the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative (ESA CCI) soil moisture product. While comparisons to in situ soil moisture in areas with weak bias indicate an improvement of the representation of soil moisture climatology, bias-blind LAI DA can lead to unrealistic shifts in soil moisture climatology in areas with strong bias. For example, when the assimilated LAI data in irrigated areas are much higher than those simulated without any irrigation activated, LAI will be increased and soil moisture will be depleted. Furthermore, the bias-blind LAI DA produces a pronounced sawtooth pattern due to model drift between DA updates, because each update pushes the Noah-MP leaf model to an unstable state. This model drift also propagates to short-term estimates of GPP and ET and to internal DA diagnostics that indicate a suboptimal DA system performance. The bias-aware approaches based on a priori rescaling of LAI observations to the model climatology avoid the negative effects of the bias-blind assimilation. They retain the improvements in GPP anomalies from the bias-blind DA but forego improvements in the root mean square deviations (RMSDs) of GPP, ET, and runoff. As an alternative to rescaling, we discuss the implications of our results for model calibration or joint parameter and state update DA, which has the potential to combine bias reduction with optimal DA system performance.

Abstract. Extreme weather events, such as tropical cyclones, often trigger population displacement. The frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones are affected by anthropogenic climate change. However, the effect of historical climate change on displacement risk has so far not been quantified. Here, we show how displacement can be partially attributed to climate change using the example of the 2019 Tropical Cyclone Idai in Mozambique. We estimate the population exposed to high water levels following Idai's landfall using a combination of a 2D hydrodynamical storm surge model and a flood depth estimation algorithm to determine inland flood depths from remote sensing images, factual (climate change) and counterfactual (no climate change) mean sea level, and maximum wind speed conditions. Our main estimates indicate that climate change has increased displacement risk from this event by approximately 12 600–14 900 additional displaced persons, corresponding to about 2.7 % to 3.2 % of the observed displacements. The isolated effect of wind speed intensification is double that of sea level rise. These results are subject to important uncertainties related to both data and modeling assumptions, and we perform multiple sensitivity experiments to assess the range of uncertainty where possible. Besides highlighting the significant effects on humanitarian conditions already imparted by climate change, our study provides a blueprint for event-based displacement attribution.

Published: November 2023

This study investigates the influence of demographic variables such as experience and age on the project efficiency of the IT sector. The study employed a quantitative methodology by collecting data from 380 responses from respondents working in various IT organizations. The data was further processed and analysed using SPSS software. Conjoint analysis is used to identify the attributes that are important to employees and classify each attribute into its own level. Discriminant analysis is used to find the association between the demographic characteristics of the respondents and employee status. The results of this study lay the groundwork for future research on artificial intelligence adoption in emerging nations, and they show a notable relationship between enhancing project efficiency in the IT industry. The researchers found that the age of the employees has a significant impact on project efficiency. Moreover, this study shows that IT workers under the age of 30 have the largest influence on project efficiency, representing a substantial demographic cohort in the organization. In addition, this research expands on these findings by indicating that individuals under the age of 30 with less than 5 years of experience are highly motivated to investigate AI opportunities and effectively use them in their job.

Iskreni dogovor ili zakulisne političke igre? Novi prilozi istraživanju razgovora Milošević-Tuđman u Karađorđevu i Tikvešu 1991. godine?

Published: November 2023

During the 1980s of 20th century, socialist Yugoslavia faced various social problems, which disintegrated the fragile tissue of Tito's state-political legacy. In the early 1990s, when the unstoppable phase of dissolution of this country began, national-chauvinist quasi-elites surfaced, with the aim of realizing their great-nation ambitions in a period of general unrest. Although in this whirlwind of social events the possibility of military intervention by the JNA was used as an indispensable threat factor, the behind-the-scenes political agreements of republican leaders were often much more effective in achieving certain goals. Sometimes conducted in public, and sometimes secretly, such negotiations violated the authority of state bodies and made their existence meaningless. In this context, one can certainly observe the most famous separate negotiations from the beginning of the 1990s on the territory of the disintegrating Yugoslavia, conducted between Slobodan Milosevic and Franjo Tudjman. Although due to the lack of transcripts we have no insight into the details of these talks, many close associates of the Serbian and Croatian presidents, as well as participants in various political sessions, clearly indicate the presence of a high degree of mutual agreement on the division of Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, today, three decades after Karadjordjev and Tikves, there is a reasonable suspicion that it was just a double political game of Slobodan Milosevic, who entered into such talks with Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, not to divide Bosnia and Herzegovina with him but to confront him with the Bosniaks and thus weaken the front against Serbian hegemony in Yugoslavia. In this paper, the author sought to shed light on these events through statements by Tudjman and Milosevic, and addresses by their close associates and participants in numerous political talks, and thus help to take a more relevant view of Bosnia and Herzegovina's positioning in Serbian and Croatian politics in the early 1990s. year of the 20th century.
Republika Sjeverna Makedonija i Bosna i Hercegovina od uspostavljanja diplomatskih odnosa do danas (1993-2022)

The Republic of North Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are friendly countries that have no outstanding issues and have been continuously improving their cooperation in all spheres of socio-political life and the economy on both bilateral and multilateral levels since their independence in 1993 to the present (2022). The ties and cooperation between these two states and their citizens have deep historical roots. The territory of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of North Macedonia has been part of the same state entities for more than five centuries, in various, but also very similar positive or negative contexts and processes. This has allowed for not only cooperation but also understanding and mutual support among the people of North Macedonia (Macedonians, Bosniaks, as well as Albanians, Turks, and others) and the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Certainly, the Bosniaks in North Macedonia are the most significant factor in connecting the two states. Unlike Macedonians and other people of North Macedonian origin in Bosnia and Herzegovina, who are in smaller numbers and have a very short continuity from the time of the former Yugoslavia, the Bosniaks are part of Macedonia's distant past, as well as its contemporary Macedonian reality. Without them, no process or Macedonian story would be complete. Therefore, in addition to a chronological overview of the establishment and development of bilateral relations between the two countries since their independence, this paper will also focus on the position of Bosniaks in North Macedonia and Macedonians in Bosnia and Herzegovina after independence. Although there are very important historical processes before independence, I believe it is more important to pay attention to the current moment, which is the goal of this academic conference.
Osnivanje nezavisne Republike Makedonije – Decenija meðunarodnog priznanja (1991–2001)

Published: November 2023

The process of the disintegration of the multinational Yugoslav federation at the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s had a strong impact on the process of the constitution of an independent Macedonian state. In those years, the Yugoslav Federation underwent a transition from the one-party rule of the Union of Communists to the establishment of a pluralistic multi-party political system. After the legalization of the possibility to create new political parties in the Socialist Republic of Macedonia, various parties and associations emerged, which brought great diversity to the political life of the republic and laid the foundations of party pluralism in it. The grouping of the parties is based on the attitude towards the future development of Yugoslavia, which divides them into “pro-Yugoslav” and “national”. Along with the Macedonian national parties, political parties and associations on a national and ethno-religious basis are being created in the SR Macedonia. The difficulties in the Republic of Macedonia started parallel to the process of declaring its independence and especially after the breakup of Yugoslavia. Thus, in the early 90s, after the collapse of the multinational federation and the declaration of independence of some of its republics, such as Slovenia and Croatia, the Republic of Macedonia faced serious problems in its own state. Internally - the final independence of the state and liberation from the Yugoslav People's Army, and externally - its international recognition. And while the last decade of the 20th century was mainly related to the international recognition of the Republic of Macedonia, the first decade of the 21st century saw the country face serious international problems and confrontations mainly between the Macedonian and Albanian ethnic groups in the country, as well as the dilemma of further and steps towards membership in the Euro-Atlantic structures - in the EU and NATO.

The structure and dynamics of networks with higher-order interactions
Authors: Boccaletti Stefano , Herrero Regino Criado , Genio Charo del , Lellis Pietro de
Published: November 2023

All beauty, richness and harmony in the emergent dynamics of a complex system largely depend on the specific way in which its elementary components interact. The last twenty-five years have seen the birth and development of the multidisciplinary field of Network Science, wherein a variety of distributed systems in physics, biology, social sciences and engineering have been modeled as networks of coupled units, in the attempt to unveil the mechanisms underneath their observed functionality. There is, however, a fundamental limit to such a representation: networks capture only pairwise interactions, whereas the functioning of many real-world systems not only involves dyadic connections, but rather is the outcome of collective actions at the level of groups of nodes. For instance, in ecological systems, three or more species may compete for food or territory, and similar multi-component interactions appear in functional and structural brain networks, protein interaction networks, semantic networks, multi-authors scientific collaborations, offline and online social networks, gene regulatory networks and spreading of consensus or contagious diseases due to multiple, simultaneous, contacts. Such multi-component interactions can only be grasped through either hypergraphs or simplicial complexes, which indeed have recently found a huge number of applications. In this report, we cover the extensive literature of the past years on this subject, and we focus on the structure and dynamics of hypergraphs and simplicial complexes. These are indeed becoming increasingly relevant, thanks to the enhanced resolution of data sets and the recent advances in data analysis techniques, which (concurrently and definitely) have shown that such structures play a pivotal role in the complex organization and functioning of real-world distributed systems.

The purpose of this study was to explore the process of self-concept transformation experienced by never-married single women in the expressive art therapy workshop. Based on intentional sampling, five women aged 20-30 who have never been married and have no partner were invited to participate in a two-day expressive art therapy workshop with a total of 6 units. The workshop was carried out in small groups, combining multiple activities such as music, writing, painting, labor, and games. The study adopted the method of hermeneutic phenomenology, and the data collection were activity reflection records, participant interview records, activity records, feedback records, participants’ art works, observation records. According to the data analysis, there were three research findings: First, the initial self-concept of ever-married single women is "waiting, confused, gradually recovering". Second, the group interaction and creative process, including the stage of immersion, the stage of interaction and co-creation, and the stage of openness and flexibility. Third, the transformation of self-concept from "loose and forward" in the early stage of the group, to "brave and pursuit", and finally to "uniqueness in the fusion relationship". Relevant recommendations are put forward based on the research results.

本研究旨在評估HEXACO人格量表之跨文化適用性的品質和效益。研究者透過文獻分析法，檢索了460篇相關文獻，最後篩選出10篇不同語言的信效度研究進行分析。結果發現，HEXACO量表在不同國家應用時具有良好的內部一致性信度（.64至 .92），儘管因測驗長度不同而有些許起伏。HEXACO六因素結構通過探索性因素分析獲得支持，解釋量在44.1%至58.4%之間。各因素間具區辨效度，與大五人格中的外向性、嚴謹性、開放性及友善性具中高相關。值得注意的是，HEXACO獨特的第六因素「誠實–謙遜」捕捉了大五人格模型未包含的面向。綜合而言，HEXACO量表具跨文化適用性，但部分譯本題目需要再修正；在四個版本中，可優先考量使用HEXOCA-PI-R或HEXACO-100；建議國內諮商實務工作者使用HEXOCA量表針對求助個案進行評估，做為個案概念化及諮商介入之依據；未來亦可持續針對華人進行探究，做為跨文化人格理論與華人本土化人格理論之對話橋樑。

 

This study aimed to preliminarily assess the cross-cultural applicability and validity of the HEXACO personality inventory. The researchers utilized a literature analysis method, retrieving 460 related studies, and finally selected 10 studies in different languages analyzing reliability and validity. Results indicated that the HEXACO inventory demonstrated good internal consistency reliability (.64-.92) when applied in different countries, despite some fluctuations due to varied test length. The six-factor structure of HEXACO was supported through exploratory factor analysis, with explained variance between 44.1% and 58.4%. The factors showed discriminant validity and moderate to high correlations with Extraversion, Conscientiousness, Openness and Agreeableness in the Big Five model. Notably, the unique sixth factor of HEXACO, ""Honesty-Humility,"" captured aspects not included in the Big Five model. In summary, the HEXACO scale has cross-cultural applicability, but some of the translated questions need to be revised. Among the four versions, HEXOCA-PI-R or HEXACO-100 can be given priority. It is recommended that counseling practitioners could use the HEXOCA scale to evaluate clients as a basis for case conceptualization and intervention. In the future, it is recommended to continue to conduct research on Chinese people as a bridge for dialogue between cross-cultural personality theory and localized personality theory.

Israel and Palestine have been at war with one another for many years. Israel and Palestine believe they are entitled to the same area as a piece of the state's territory, so Israel keeps attacking Palestine. This research talks about Israel's aggression towards Palestine in 2022 and how those violations of international humanitarian law relate to that aggression. In armed conflict, humanitarian law has established mechanisms. In 2022, Israel engaged in several military operations in the Palestinian territory that cost the lives of troops and civilians.
A Multi-Source Diary Study on The Job Resourcefulness, Job Satisfaction, and Task Performance: Will Perceive Organizational Support Moderate
Authors: Ume Rubaca  , Muhammad Majid Khan
Published: November 2023

Purpose:
This multilevel diary study examined the association between day-level job resourcefulness and day-level task performance of employees of tour and travel. Based on the job demands and resources (JD-R) model, we tested the mediating effect of day-level job satisfaction between job resourcefulness and task performance with the moderating effect of perceived organizational support.
Methodology:
We collected data for five consecutive days with the help of structured questionnaires. Employees (n = 180) rated their general perceived organizational support, daily job resourcefulness, and daily job satisfaction, whereas their immediate supervisors (n = 18) rated their daily task performance. It was a two-level study with days nested in individuals (no. of observations=900).
Findings:
Multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) results show a positive association between job resourcefulness and supervisor-rated task performance with the partial mediation of job satisfaction at the day level, while the cross-level interaction effect of the perceived organizational support was non-significant. Our hypothesized framework was never tested, which is a unique contribution to job resourcefulness literature and, in this way, for tourism-related entrepreneurs.
Conclusion:
SMEs are highly dependent on their employees for competitiveness and performance but at the same time face resource-constrained problems. We argue that the employees' job resourcefulness might help achieve work-related goals such as task performance through enhanced job satisfaction daily, where organizational support does not provide the necessary job resources.
Liquidity Risk Management Practices and Profitability of Banking Firms in Nigeria
Authors: King Wofuru-Nyenke Oroma , Iwedi Marshal
Published: November 2023

Objective: The objective of this research is to examine how liquidity risk management practices impact the profitability of Nigerian banking institutions. The study utilizes panel data from 1960 to 2021 for analysis. Methods: The study employed financial time series methodology and based on the results of the descriptive analysis and augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root tests for stationarity, the authors employ the Johansen co-integration test to establish the long-run effect of liquidity risk management practices alongside other control factors on profitability of banking firms in Nigeria. The study also examines the short-run relationship between liquidity risk management practices and profitability by estimating the ordinary least square. Results: Based on the result of the descriptive statistics, it is evident that there is a positive relationship between the variations in the mean of the net profit for each of the banks. This result indicates that most of the banks recorded a profit for the year under review. The econometric results show that the current ratio of the banks was within the range of 1.74 to 2.49 indicating that most of the banks under study are well within the desired range and not overstretched as they may not meet the demand of their depositors for withdrawals in the near future. The coefficient of cash ratio in the random effect model is statistically insignificant which indicate that its impact is negligible on the profit margin of the commercial banks. With an R-square value of 0.66, it can be concluded that 66% of the variation in the dependent variable is explained by the independent variables used in the model. The coefficients of the current ratio and cash ratio were statistically insignificant and negatively related to net profits of the banks, this result implies that current and cash ratios have a limited impact on net profits. Conclusion: In conclusion, most Nigerian commercial banks have adequate financial resources to meet their current liabilities this is because they are well capitalized.

Background:Our purpose was to evaluate a custom reverse total shoulder arthroplasty glenoid baseplate for severe glenoid deficiency, emphasizing the challenges with this approach, including short-term clinical and radiographic outcomes and complications.Methods: This was a single-institution, retrospective series of 29 patients between January 2017 and December 2022 for whom a custom glenoid component was created for extensive glenoid bone loss. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and at intervals for up to 5 years. All received preoperative physical examinations, plain radiographs, and computed tomography (CT). Intra- and postoperative complications are reported.Results: Of 29 patients, delays resulted in only undergoing surgery, and in three of those, the implant did not match the glenoid. For those three, the time from CT scan to implantation averaged 7.6 months (range, 6.1–10.7 months), compared with 5.5 months (range, 2–8.6 months) for those whose implants fit. In patients with at least 2-year follow-up (n=9), no failures occurred. Significant improvements were observed in all patient-reported outcome measures in those nine patients (American Shoulder and Elbow Score, P<0.01; Simple Shoulder Test, P=0.02; Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, P<0.01; Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder Index, P<0.01). Range of motion improved for forward flexion and abduction (P=0.03 for both) and internal rotation up the back (P=0.02). Pain and satisfaction also improved (P<0.01 for both).Conclusions: Prolonged time (>6 months) from CT scan to device implantation resulted in bone loss that rendered the implants unusable. Satisfactory short-term radiographic and clinical follow-up can be achieved with a well-fitting device.Level of evidence: III.
Treaty Rights as a Source for First Nation Social and Economic Development: The Marshall Decision in Atlantic Canada
Authors: Wien Frederic , Williams Richard
Published: November 2023

In recent decades, First Nations across Canada have used a variety of instruments to rebuild their economies and societies, not without a struggle but also with measurable success. These instruments include levers like certain provisions of the Indian Act related to taxation on reserve, the pursuit of specific and comprehensive land claims, Treaty Land Entitlement settlements that have provided an avenue for the creation of urban-based reserves and business development, and Aboriginal and treaty rights recognized by the Supreme Court. It is the latter that is the subject of this article, especially the two Marshall decisions issued by the Court in 1999, which recognized the treaty right of First Nations in the Maritime region to fish for a moderate livelihood.2 In this article, we will describe the decision, the reaction to it from various parties, ongoing flashpoints that have the potential to generate tension and conflict, and some possible paths forward.

After a career as a professional dancer, Tracee Smith was looking for her next challenge in her mid-20s. Upon obtaining her MBA, Smith, a member of Missanabie Cree First Nation in northern Ontario, had to decide whether to completely leave her previous dance life behind. She chose not to. That proved to be a wise decision indeed, as for the past 16 years Smith has been serving as the CEO of Outside Looking In (OLI), a charity she founded. OLI has various components, but it is primarily known for its dance program. It will work with students in various Indigenous communities and then invite them to Toronto to showcase their dance program in front of an audience.

Suomen valtion ja politiikan johdon keskeiset toimijat rakensivat sotakorvausohjelman aikana propagandatarinan, joka sittemmin johti kansallisen, nostalgisen tarinan, sotakorvausmyytin, muodostumiseen. Aiemman historiankirjoituksen ja -tutkimuksen suhde tähän tarinaan on jännitteinen ja epämääräinen. Tässä artikkelissa puretaan myytin rakennustyö Sotevassa, avataan sen historiallistamista kirjallisuudessa, sekä esitetään kolmiosainen malli myytin tarkastelua varten. Myytin kolme keskeistä jännettä ovat 1. tunnekokemus tapahtuneen käsittelyyn kansalaisille, 2. perustelu tehdylle teolliselle sijoitukselle, sekä 3. uusi epäpoliittinen merkitys rauhanomaisille suhteille Neuvostoliiton kanssa.

Mục đích của nghiên cứu này tập trung chế tạo cốt liệu mịn từ tro bay (FAA) và khảo sát ảnh hưởng của FAA thay thế một phần cát sông đến độ sụt của hỗn hợp bê tông, khối lượng thể tích và cường độ chịu nén của bê tông. Thông qua quá trình ve viên hạt, FAA với kích thước từ 1,25 đến 5 mm được chế tạo từ 85% tro bay, 15% xi măng Portland, tỷ lệ nước/chất kết dính bằng 0,21 và được dưỡng hộ 1 ngày trong không khí và ngâm 13 ngày trong nước. Dựa trên kết quả thành phần hạt của hỗn hợp cốt liệu mịn (bao gồm FAA và cát sông), nhận thấy rằng hỗn hợp A (30% FAA và 70% cát sông) và B (40% FAA và 60% cát sông) tối ưu nhất vì nằm trong vùng phạm vi cho phép của cốt liệu mịn cỡ hạt thô theo TCVN 7570:2006. Với việc sử dụng hỗn hợp cốt liệu mịn tối ưu này, độ sụt của hỗn hợp bê tông tăng khi hàm lượng FAA thay thế tăng; trong khi đó, khối lượng thể tích và cường độ chịu nén của bê tông không thay đổi đáng kể. Kết luận rằng FAA có thể thay thế 40% cát sông trong sản xuất bê tông nhằm hạn chế việc khai thác cát sông và tận dụng tối đa lượng tro bay thải ra từ nhà máy nhiệt điện, hướng đến sự phát triển bền vững của nền công nghiệp bê tông.
