Published: July 2022

This study analyzes the behavior of storm-scale circulations preceding initial tornadogenesis in 179 Kansas and Nebraska storms. Manually determined assessments of radar data for storm-scale circulations preceding the tornadoes are performed as far back in time prior to the tornado as a circulation is apparent, with average rotational velocity (Vrot), circulation diameter, and circulation clarity documented for the 0.5° elevation scan. These data are simultaneously combined with an indication of environmental conditions (as represented by the significant tornado parameter) to determine the tornado probability at each of these times based on a recently developed probabilistic model. By aggregating these parameters in time-range bins, subsequent statistical analyses portray the bulk variability of circulation characteristics and tornado probabilities preceding tornadogenesis. The blended approach for assessing tornado potential yields a stronger relative increase in tornado probabilities leading up to tornadogenesis than the sub-component of average Vrot; this is especially true within 15 min before tornadogenesis. Additionally, significant tornadoes are associated with more substantial increase in tornado probabilities preceding tornadogenesis compared to weak tornadoes, and smaller lead time to tornadogenesis for weak tornadoes. Also, a cycling pattern may appear in velocities prior to significant tornadoes, along with a relative decrease in pretornadic circulation diameter, especially for significant tornadoes. These findings are intended to highlight some of the behaviors of storm-scale circulations and their corresponding environments, which can be used to reinforce meteorologists’ tornado threat assessment. Extending this work to encompass more convective-mode variability, null cases, and geographic expanse will be necessary for more overarching applicability.
Placement of Observations to Correct Return-Flow Forecasts
Authors: Lewis John M. , Lakshmivarahan S. , Hu Junjun , Rabin Robert
Published: July 2022

The continued presence of systematic errors in operational forecasts of return flow over the Gulf of Mexico has motivated an investigation into this problem. The theme of the work is use of a low-order mixed-layer model that is faithful to the phenomenon in the context of dynamic data assimilation. Data assimilation experiments in the identical-twin mode determine the best place to make observations that minimize the forecast error through adjustment of model controls. The emphasized controls are those associated with the fluxes of heat and moisture from sea to atmosphere. Results indicate that the best observations are at that time and place when the outflowing continental air passes over the warmest sea surface temperatures. In the case studied, this warmest zone is directly over the Loop Current. Observations at times long after the modified air leaves these warmest waters lead to relatively poor control adjustments and little improvement in the forecast. If input to data assimilation is restricted to observations of a single model variable over short intervals of time (the order of several hours), results are relatively poor. Yet, a significant improvement is forthcoming if one of the observations is replaced by an observation from another model variable. This result is understood through arguments based on forecast sensitivity to model control. The paper ends with discussion of steps to be taken that hold promise for correcting systematic error in return-flow forecasts.
Effects of Heterogeneous Surface Roughness on Boundary Layer Kinematics and Wind Shear
Authors: Coleman Timothy A. , Knupp Kevin R. , Pangle Preston T.
Published: July 2022

Different types of land cover are associated with different surface roughness, which produce variations in the frictional force on the wind.  Therefore, mean wind profiles at low levels often differ markedly over short distances where there is a gradient in surface roughness.  Horizontal gradients in surface roughness may produce vertical vorticity, circulation, and horizontal divergence.  The effect of roughness on vertical wind shear and storm-relative helicity is also qualitatively important and may lead to large gradients in helicity over short distances.  Recent studies also suggest an important role of friction in tornadogenesis.

We show conceptually and theoretically how gradients in surface roughness produce quasi-ambient convergence and vertical vorticity, and gradients in vertical shear and storm-relative helicity.  We then present observational data and numerical simulations that demonstrate the effects of surface roughness on the kinematics and shear of boundary-layer flow, for future work examining the importance of these processes for tornadogenesis.
Preliminary Observations of Weak Three-Body Scatter Spikes Associated With Low-End Severe Hail
Authors: Lindley T. Todd , Lemon Leslie R.
Published: July 2022

he three-body scatter spike (TBSS), an artifact caused by radar microwave scattering associated with large hydrometeors, traditionally has been utilized in the National Weather Service as an operational indicator of destructive hail. Severe weather warning strategies based on the TBSS were derived using a lower-bound reflectivity threshold of 5 dBZ. With recent WSR-88D workstation software and product upgrades, the operational display of very low value reflectivity data to -30 dBZ has allowed meteorologists to observe more subtle, but meaningful, atmospheric targets and artifacts. Since these upgrades, radar-based interrogations of thunderstorms over west Texas and South Dakota (among other places) have revealed weak TBSS signatures characterized by faint radar returns as low as -14 dBZ. A sufficient dataset of weak TBSS cases does not exist currently to support a robust statistical analysis. Preliminary observations, however, indicate that the artifact may occur prior to and during low-end severe hail measuring between 1.9 cm and 2.5 cm in diameter, especially when recognized to emanate from pulse-type convective storms sampled at close range over the Great Plains. These observations suggest that an extension to the current conceptual use of the conventional TBSS model, which associates the traditional signature to a likelihood of “very large hail,” should be investigated.
Discriminating between Tornadic and Non-Tornadic Supercells: A New Hodograph Technique
Authors: Esterheld John M. , Giuliano Donald J.
Published: July 2022

Thompson and Edwards (2000) first noted a prominent hodograph kink separating primarily speed shear from primarily directional shear in the environments of some supercells producing significant tornadoes. Responding to this observation, we compared similar thermodynamic and shear environments between the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of 3 May 1999 and non-tornadic supercell thunderstorms occurring in north Texas on 23 April 2003. The results suggest that certain characteristics of the kink could discriminate between tornadic and non-tornadic supercells. This combination of features consisted of a strong (> 10 m s-1) nearly straight-line hodograph below 500 m above ground level (AGL) and storm-relative inflow orthogonal to the base of this hodograph segment at 10 m, yielding almost purely streamwise storm-relative inflow.

We evaluated this hypothesis by analyzing 67 severe convective events, 65 of which were supercells, in Oklahoma from 1997-2004, and dividing the events into non-tornadic, weak-tornadic (F0-­F1), and significant-tornadic (F2-­F5) storm classes. The results show improved discrimination between storm classes for 10-­500 m storm-relative helicity and bulk shear magnitude when compared to 10-­1000 m calculations of the same. Also, histograms of the critical angle (defined by the storm-relative inflow vector at 10 m and 10-­500 m shear vector) revealed that the tornadic storms, and in particular the significant tornadic storms, tended to be characterized by angles near 90°, whereas the non-tornadic storms were not. Although the results are based on a relatively small sample, they suggest that a careful consideration of the evolution of the low-level hodograph in both time and space in relation to the storm motion can potentially be a valuable aid in forecasting supercell tornadoes.

Multivariate Index for Ranking
Authors: Schafer Chad M. , Doswell III Charles A.
Published: July 2022

In previous work, severe weather outbreaks have been classified either as major tornado outbreaks or as primarily nontornadic outbreaks, but the large majority of such events are of a mixed character.  This study proposes a reproducible method for ranking all types of severe weather outbreaks from the period 1960-2006.  Numerous nonmeteorological artifacts exist in the severe weather reports archived during this period, and many of the variables used to formulate the multivariate indices had to be detrended to reduce the effect of secular trends.  The resulting outbreak rankings indicate that the methodology presented herein is able to distinguish the most significant severe weather outbreaks from intermediate outbreak days and days with a large amount of geographic scatter in the severe reports.  The rankings of the most severe outbreaks and those outbreak days with a large degree of spatial scatter exhibit only limited variability when the selection of parameters and their weights are modified, but a relatively high degree of volatility is noted with the intermediate cases.  This result suggests there is relatively little difference in the severity of these intermediate events.  However, the particular modes of severe weather in these events can be quite different.  A k-means cluster analysis of the outbreak days, using a four-dimensional representation of the multivariate indices developed, indicates that outbreak days can be separated into five groups:  major tornado, wind-dominated, hail-dominated, multi-modal, and days with considerable spatial scatter of the severe reports.
Tropical Cyclone Tornadoes: A Review of Knowledge in Research and Prediction
Authors: Edwards Roger
Published: July 2022

The scientific documentation and investigation of tropical cyclone (TC) tornadoes has spanned portions of ten decades, but has been missing a documentary overview of topical knowledge accumulated to any given point in that time span.  This review article summarizes the evolution of TC tornado-related literature from the perspectives of crucial historic tornadoes, climatology, distribution patterns, applied research into their environments, remote and environmental observations, forecasting practices, and numerical simulations at various scales.  Discussion of the future of TC tornado research and prediction includes several testable hypotheses, along with potentially beneficial tools soon to be available to operational forecasters.
Spatial Distributions of Tornadic Near-Storm Environments by Convective Mode
Authors: Thompson Richard L. , Smith Bryan T. , Dean Andrew R. , Marsh Patrick T.
Published: July 2022

All tornado reports across the contiguous United States from 2003-2011 were filtered for the maximum damage rating on an hourly grid with 40-km horizontal spacing. Convective mode was assigned to each grid-hour tornado event via manual examination of full volumetric WSR-88D data, and supercell-related environmental parameters accompanied each grid-hour tornado event from the hourly objective analyses calculated and archived at the Storm Prediction Center. Only tornado events associated with right-moving supercells (RM) or quasi-linear convective systems (QLCS) were considered in this work, which resulted in a sample of 8837 tornado grid-hour events.

Spatial distributions of supercell-related parameters were constructed for the RM and QLCS tornado events. Sample sizes were increased by accumulating tornado events within a 120-km neighborhood to each 40-km grid box. All neighborhoods with ≥10 events were retained for percentile rank distributions of the supercell-related parameters, and then smoothed using a Gaussian kernel with a 120-km influence radius. Regional variations in buoyancy and lifting condensation level (LCL) are apparent-RM tornadoes are more common with greater buoyancy and higher LCL heights across the Great Plains compared to the Mississippi Valley region. QLCS tornadoes tend to be focused across the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys, in environments with weaker buoyancy and lower LCL heights. Vertical wind shear parameters are typically well within the parameter space associated with tornadic RM for both the RM and QLCS tornado events. The significant tornado parameter shows improved discrimination between weak and significant RM tornadoes, compared to individual kinematic or thermodynamic parameters.
Remember Me: Memory and Forgetting in the Digital Age
Authors: Ugar Edmund Terem
Published: July 2022

Memory and Forgetting in the Digital Age is a descriptive subtitle of the book, Remember Me by the Italian theoretical philosopher Davide Sisto. The book’s central aim is to provide a philosophical argument on the consequences of digital networks such as social media and the internet in the way we remember and forget. Sisto does not subscribe to the well-known conception of memory and forgetting as opposites. He considers memory and forgetting to be the same thing; they have the same properties and are indistinguishable This is because remembering is forgetting, and forgetting is remembering. Memory does not pose the assumption that the past can be recalled totally but tries to fictionalise the past. The past begins to fade and deviate, and this deviation requires the act of forgetting. However, the proliferation of technologies and the internet has changed how we conceptualise forgetting and memory. The internet has provided the past with the opportunity to emancipate itself from the present and autonomously own itself and set its own trajectory. The past no longer sits in a space to be forgotten but now has the power to influence and shape the present.
РИЗИК, АНАЛІЗ, ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ІМПАКТ-ІНВЕСТУВАННЯ В ПОСТКОНФЛІКТНЕ ВІДНОВЛЕННЯ ЕКОНОМІКИ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Артеменко Аліна , Пластун Олексій , Михайлов Денис
Published: July 2022

У статті досліджено концептуальні основи здійснення імпакт-інвестування в постконфліктний (післявоєнний) період із метою економічного відновлення в Україні. Головну увагу приділено аналізу підходів до оцінки інвестиційної привабливості регіонів, що постраждали внаслідок воєнних дій, оскільки вони є політично нестабільними, зі слабкою цивільною інфраструктурою, нефункціональною правовою системою та поляризованим суспільством. Укупі це створює високий ризик для інвесторів. Було розглянуто досвід таких провідних міжнародних організацій, як Організація Об’єднаних Націй (ООН), ОЕСР, Світовий Банк та Міжнародна Фінансова Корпорація (МФК) у контексті їхньої діяльності з приводу методів оцінки інвестиційних ризиків та ідентифікації пріоритетних сфер інвестування. Наведено практичні кейси успішної імплементації імпакт-інвестиційних стратегій у країнах Західної Африки. Особлива увага приділена вивченню перспективи імпакт-інвестування в Україні в період воєнного конфлікту та макроекономічної нестабільності на основі аналізу ключових проблем, які виникли на території країни внаслідок війни. Було визначено, що загальне профілювання регіону є первинним елементом роботи, оскільки це дозволяє конкретизувати територіальні кордони інвестиційного проєкту, виявити економічні проблеми регіону, стан зайнятості та ін. Проте будь-якому фінальному рішенню, що приймається про реалізацію імпакт-проєкту, має передувати припинення конфлікту шляхом мирних переговорів або мирної угоди. У результаті емпіричного дослідження було сформовано узагальнену матрицю SWOT-аналізу для оцінки рівня ризику інвестиційного імпакт-проєкту в постконфліктному регіоні; розроблено типологізацію показників оцінки інвестиційного ризику та економічного профілювання регіону, який потенційно може виступати об’єктом імпакт-інвестування.

IDEALISM IN MUSEUM
Authors: Klekot Ewa
Published: July 2022

The extensive volume edited by Robert R.
Janes and Richard Sandell titled Museum Activism is composed
of papers by over 50 authors. They are in majority
case studies, with examples from most varied institutions.
Museum activism is the opposite to museum social alienation;
in this respect, the first definitely draws from the
many-years’ experience of New Museology and participatory
museum. Museum activism advocates are negative
about the commercial populism and the success measured
by turnout only, and not that measured exclusively by the
differentiation of the museum offer and its accessibility
to minority and marginalized groups. According to the
Editors, contemporary museums are more morally obliged
to engage in social activism, since in the times of a radical
drop of social trust worldwide, museums still constitute
one of the social institutions considered as trustworthy.
Many of the actions described in the book concern the
sphere of museum accessibility broadly speaking, both in
the sense of physical access and possibility to participate
in the programme, and barriers of social nature. Another
sphere of museum activism is made up of curatorial practices.
The texts point to many dimensions of activist curatorial
practices which, however, first of all become the
space for questioning the myth about museum’s neutrality
in many respects: the colonial collection genesis, attitude
towards climate, narratives constructing national identity,
or finally the issue of the presence of curator’s voice in an
exhibition. In many of the papers the role of museums in
the context of the responsibility for the climate, of raising
social awareness, of constructing a new narrative on the
relation between man and the world, as well as the necessity
to revise one’s own praxis are reiterated.

Policies of Artificial Intelligence in the EU: Learning Curve from the UK and China?
Authors: Ms. Tanzeela Jameel  , Dr. Adam Saud
Published: July 2022

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be traced back to John McCarthy who is considered as one of the pioneers of the AI discipline. 1 AI has emerged as one of the most important realities in the first quarter of the 21 st century. AI is being used in many industries including healthcare, production and manufacturing, military modernization, etc. Whereas there are many benefits of AI, it has its drawbacks as well. There is always a possibility that technology getting into the wrong hands. This malicious use of AI is commonly known as “adversarial AI”, which cannot just cause financial loss to countries but also increase the ratio of cybercrimes. This work sheds light on the impact of adversarial AI from the point of view of governance. More specifically, it takes a detailed look at the AI policies of the European Union (EU) and identifies different cyber-security loopholes. Based on some recent events, this study also highlights the role of adversarial AI in promoting cybercrimes in the form of phishing and data breach attacks in the EU. Finally, we provide arguments on how the EU can learn from some countries, like China and the UK, in order to strengthen its AI policies.
The GSP+ and Exports of Pakistan to the European Union
Authors: Mr. Iqbal Ahmad A. Soomro  , Dr. Ishaque Ahmed Ansari
Published: July 2022

The European Union (EU) introduced a scheme known as GSP+ (Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus) for importing products from developing countries, effective from January 2014, with lowering of tariffs substantially. The GSP+ is termed as a ‘special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance.’ There are currently eight GSP+ beneficiary countries: Armenia, Bolivia, Cape Verde, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka. This study is focused on the exports of Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines to the European Union. In addition, the impact of GSP+ on the trade of Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Philippines. Descriptive statistics and regression analyses have been performed to identify the impact of GSP+. For regression analyses, data for the period 2008-2019, i.e., six years before the GSP+ (2008-2013) and six years after the GSP+ (2014-2019) has been studied. The result shows that Pakistan is the most beneficiary of the GSP+ as compared to Sri Lanka and the Philippines. It has also been noticed that the exports of Pakistan have shifted from Asia and Africa to the EU in the wake of the GSP+.
Liminality and Gender Fluidity in Shakespearian Dramaturgy: A Postmodern Perspective
Authors: Dr. Sarah Syed Kazmi  , Ms. Esha tir Raaziah
Published: July 2022

The article seeks to compare and contrast the critical canon based on transvestism with deliberations upon androgyny. The postmodern approach explores the liminal spaces in Shakespearian dramaturgy where rigid, hide-bound compartmentalization of dichotomies in gender fuse with a fluid, liminal space of hybrid interface. The earlier readings of misogyny and chauvinism into Shakespearian heroines’ assumption of the male identity open vistas in the liminal space where these characters are conferred a privilege to navigate spaces beyond conventional fixities. By subjecting gender binaries to artistic rendition and critical canon, Shakespearian dramas offer insight into the socio-political debate around gender roles and responsibilities. By breaking free with the status quo, Shakespeare's female protagonists emerge more empowered and emancipated in their deft handling of crisis where cross-dressing only serves as an expedient measure to earn them the requisite mobility to the echelons of power. On the other hand, it is on account of their intellectual acumen that poised on a critical juncture they are able to trigger a denouement of the dramatic complication.

Witnessing intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with adolescents’ externalizing behavior problems such as bullying and aggression, but its association with cyberbullying perpetration remains unclear. Given the prevalence of cyberbullying perpetration, this study aims to examine the relationship between witnessing IPV and cyberbullying perpetration, and also to explore whether self-control mediates, and parental psychological control (PPC) moderates the association. 1,670 primary and junior high school students (aged from 10 to 15 years, 53.7% boys) in China participated in the questionnaire survey in May, 2017. The results showed that witnessing IPV positively predicted cyberbullying perpetration significantly when sex and grade were controlled. Self-control partially mediated the relationship between witnessing IPV and cyberbullying perpetration, while PPC moderated the relation between witnessing IPV and cyberbullying perpetration. Specifically, the effect of IPV on cyberbullying perpetration was stronger when PPC was high compared to when PPC was low. Multi-group analysis showed that the effect of witnessing IPV on cyberbullying perpetration was stronger in boys than in girls and the mediation effect of self-control was stronger among junior high school students than among primary schools. The implications for intervention of cyberbullying perpetration are discussed.

Context.—

There has long been debate about whether and when there may be a shortage of pathologists in the United States. One way to assess this is to survey the hiring experiences of pathology practices. A 2018 survey revealed a strong demand for pathologists, with expectations of continued strength. This study updates that prior analysis using data from a 2021 survey of pathology practice leaders.

Objective.—

To assess the US pathologist job market and examine implications.

Design.—

We analyzed data from the 2021 College of American Pathologists Practice Leader Survey. This survey queried practice leaders, including regarding the hiring of pathologists, the level of experience being sought, success in filling positions, and expectations for hiring in the next 3 years.

Results.—

Among the 375 surveyed practice leaders (about one-third of all US pathology practices), 282 provided information about pathologist hiring in 2021. A total of 157 of these 282 practices (55.7%) sought to hire at least 1 pathologist in 2021, up from 116 of 256 practices (45.3%) in 2017; the mean number of pathologists hired per practice also increased. In 2021, a total of 175 of 385 positions (45.5%) were to fill new positions, compared with 95 of 249 positions (38.2%) in 2017. Most practice leaders were comfortable hiring pathologists with less than 2 years of posttraining experience. Practice leaders anticipated continued strong demand for hiring pathologists during the next 3 years.

Conclusions.—

Our analysis confirms that the demand in pathologist hiring is strong and much increased from 2017. We believe, in combination with other job market indicators, that demand may outstrip the supply of pathologists, which is limited by the number of trainees and has remained constant during the past 20 years.
Development of the Instruments for measuring the quality of E-Banking services in the Republic of Serbia: E-BSrb-QUAL
Authors: Đorđević Bojan
Published: July 2022

The most commonly used model to measure the quality of electronic services is the E-Service Quality - E-SQ (E-S-QUAL and E-RecS-QUAL). Acknowledging the results of existing research and the attempts to create a unique model for measuring the quality of e-services, the main goal of this paper is to rate the quality of e-banking in Serbia by testing the applicability of the E-SQ model. The results, gained through empirical research, design, and distribution of a distinctive questionnaire to the users of e-banking services in central and southeast Serbia, were systematized and statistically processed by factor analysis of the principal components (PCA). The outcome defined an initial instrument called E-BSrb-QUAL, with seven dimensions of e-banking quality in Serbia, and they are 1. Personalization, 2. Safety, 3. Accessibility, 4. Contact, 5. Efficiency/Response, 6. Trust, and 7. Reliability. The Importance-Performance analysis (IPA) showed the strength of Serbian banks and confirmed the most significant and crucial dimensions of e-banking service quality are Trust, Safety, and Reliability. On the other hand, Personalization, Accessibility, and Efficiency/Response dimensions are estimated as overrated.
ASSESSMENT QUALITY RISK FACTORS DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THE BICONSI TOWER PROJECT
Authors: Nguyen Phong
Published: July 2022

Project performance is assessed by various criteria. One of the typical triangle criteria used to assess the performance of any office building project is quality. However, office projects in Vietnam have faced numerous quality risks, particularly during their construction periods. This can cause the building projects behind schedule and over budget. As a result, identifying quality risk factors throughout the construction phase of office projects is essential. Therefore, this paper has applied the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to prioritize critical risk factors affecting project quality during the construction phase of the Biconsi Tower project in Vietnam. The research results showed that the five top risk factors affecting the quality of the Biconsi Tower project with decreasing impact levels are as follows: (1) Inspection and acceptance work are not in accordance with regulations and procedures, (2) Lack of coordination between project stakeholders; (3) Poor quality design documents and drawings; (4) Poor construction methods; and (5) Poor quality input materials.
The role of normative conformism in the digital environment in creating consumer attitudes towards luxury brands
Authors: Baltezarević Radoslav
Published: July 2022

The digital environment is increasingly becoming the first place where consumers will seek information about luxury products and services in the purchasing decisionmaking process. Attitudes of the reference group usually play the biggest role in creating consumer attitudes in real world towards luxury brands. However, in collectivist societies, social norms and expectations of society can lead to conformist behavior of individuals in order not to be excluded from the social community. Conformist behavior and adoption of attitudes towards luxury brands can be motivated by the desire of an individual to present themselves as a member of a higher social status, to which they do not otherwise belong, or to stand out from representatives of their own status group by using such brands. Normative conformism is also present in the digital environment. Users of social networks often blindly imitate and adopt the views of the creators of public opinion. Micro and macro influencers are perceived as credible sources of information, which are mostly unreservedly trusted. However, their luxury brand recommendations are often commissioned by the companies that produce them, so the credibility of their recommendations is often questioned.

GJS 400-15 ductile cast iron has excellent physical-chemical, mechanical-structural and manufacturability properties. However, it has notable limitations when it is subjected to the welding operations to which it is subjected.
The objective of this work is the characterization of the welds made in GJS 400-15 ductile cast iron parts, specifically 6mm thick sheets, to determine their applicability based on the mechanical and microstructural properties obtained. For this, several welding procedures have been proposed, in which an Fe-Ni alloy is used as a filler material and SMAW and TIG welding techniques are combined with different heat treatments.
The mechanical characterization tests have been based on tensile analysis and hardness determination. As for the micrographic analysis, it has been carried out through the micrographs of the thermally affected areas (base metal, interface and welding.
TIG welding, in general terms, has been effectively effective in the welding processes of nodular cast iron sheets despite its disadvantage in the results obtained compared to the SMAW technique. On the contrary, the advantages that the TIG welding technique presents in terms of execution time and more favorable cost open a way to the development, technical evolution and industrialization of the welding processes carried out using this last technique.
It is hoped that the study will present a positive contribution to the technological development of welding processes and their industrial application to the manufacture, maintenance or repair of parts and products in which ductile iron is present and especially those formed by steel plates. small thickness.
