Internet of Things (IoT) is a dynamic global network infrastructure with standard configuration capabilities and interoperable communication protocols where physical and virtual "things" have identities, physical attributes and virtual personalities and use smart interfaces, and are integrated into the network. Water is a source of life for humans and nutrients needed by humans. One of the essential daily needs of living things in this world that cannot be separated is water. The problem or obstacle that exists with the use of artesian water is that when the meter calculation (usage standard) is still using human labor, in other words there is a mobile officer at the end of every month, while in the middle of the month the officer returns to provide a payment account receipt. Not yet, if the officer has difficulty checking, they have to be behind the customer's house if the meter (standard of use) is located behind the house, and the place is not strategic. Then sometimes the recording is not accurate because it is not in accordance with the usage of the existing customer being metered. This gives the effect of a longer process, less accurate results, and makes the job more difficult and customers also feel worried that if the staff is not careful about recording water usage, the authors are inspired to design and make a tool to make it easier to record water usage with modern technology. namely the Artetis Water Billing Information System using Water Flow and IoT-based Sim900A in the Purwoyoso village area of Semarang where people can maintain and manage water more effectively and efficiently for human survival.

Support vector machine tropical wind speed retrieval in the presence of rain for Ku-band wind scatterometry
Authors: Xu Xingou , Stoffelen Ad
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Wind retrieval parameters, i.e. quality indicators and
the two-dimensional variational ambiguity removal (2DVAR) analysis speeds, are explored with the aim to improve wind speed
retrieval during rain for tropical regions. We apply the well-researched
support vector machine (SVM) method in machine learning (ML) to solve this
complex problem in a data-oriented regression. To guarantee the
effectiveness of SVM, the inputs are extensively analysed to evaluate their
appropriateness for this problem, before the results are produced. The
comparisons between distributions and differences between data of
rain-contaminated winds, corrected winds and good quality C-band winds
illustrate that the rain-distorted wind distributions become more nominal
with SVM, hence much reducing the rain-induced biases and error variance.
Further confirmation is obtained from a case with synchronous Himawari-8
observation indicating rain (clouds) in the scene. Furthermore, the
estimation of simultaneous rain rate is attempted with some success to
retrieve both wind and rain. Although additional observations or higher
resolution may be required to better assess the accuracy of the wind and
rain retrievals, the ML results demonstrate benefits of
such methodology in geophysical retrieval and nowcasting applications.
Glacial runoff buffers droughts through the 21st century
Authors: Ultee Lizz , Coats Sloan , Mackay Jonathan
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Global climate model projections suggest that 21st century climate change will bring significant drying in the terrestrial midlatitudes. Recent glacier modeling suggests that runoff from glaciers will continue to provide substantial freshwater in many drainage basins, though the supply will generally diminish throughout the century. In the absence of dynamic glacier ice within global climate models (GCMs), a comprehensive picture of future drought conditions in glaciated regions has been elusive. Here, we leverage the results of existing GCM simulations and a global glacier model to evaluate glacial buffering of droughts in the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). We find that accounting for glacial runoff tends to increase multi-model ensemble mean SPEI and reduce drought frequency and severity, even in basins with relatively little glacier cover. Glacial drought buffering persists even as glacial runoff is projected to decline through the 21st century.

Published: November 2021

Abstract. We present a new Arctic sea level anomaly dataset based on the combination of three altimeter missions using an optimal interpolation
scheme. Measurements from SARAL/AltiKa, CryoSat-2 and Sentinel-3A are blended together, providing an unprecedented resolution for this type of
product. Such high-resolution products are necessary to tackle some contemporaneous science questions in the basin. We use the adaptive retracker
to process both open ocean and lead echoes on SARAL/AltiKa, thus removing the need to estimate a bias between open ocean and ice-covered areas. The
usual processing approach, involving an empirical retracking algorithm on specular echoes, is applied on CryoSat-2 and Sentinel-3A synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mode
echoes. SARAL/AltiKa also provides the baseline for the cross-calibration of CryoSat-2 and Sentinel-3A data. The final gridded fields cover all
latitudes north of 50∘ N, on a 25 km EASE2 grid, with one grid every 3 d over 3 years from July 2016 to April 2019. When
compared to tide gauge measurements available in the Arctic Ocean, the combined product exhibits a much better performance than mono-mission
datasets with a mean correlation of 0.78 and a mean root-mean-square deviation (RMSd) of 5 cm. The effective temporal resolution of the combined product is 3 times
better than a single mission analysis. This dataset can be downloaded from https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2020.001 (Prandi, 2020).
Disentangling the scarcity of near-natural Iberian hydrological resources since 1980s: a multivariate-driven approach
Authors: Halifa-Marín Amar , Torres-Vázquez Miguel Ángel , Pravia-Sarabia Enrique , Lemus-Cánovas Marc , Montávez Juan Pedro , Jiménez-Guerrero Pedro
Published: November 2021

Abstract. A significant abrupt decrease of Winter Precipitation (WP) has been noticed in the Iberian Peninsula since the 1980s related to atmospheric drivers. This contribution assesses the long-term variability of water resources based on a multivariate-driven approach. For this purpose, the novel dataset of Near Natural Water Inflows to Reservoirs of Spain (NENWIRES) was created. Results confirm that Winter Water Inflows (WWI) have been modulated by the sudden decline in WP. These drastic reductions of WP/WWI were mainly controlled by the enhancement of the positive phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAOi+). Nonetheless, our results also highlight the anthropogenic/physical causes contributing to the 1980s shift in the hydroclimate series. The rise of temperature, the cropland abandonment and forest extension provoked evapotranspiration gains and run-off weakening. NENWIRES most humid catchments registered the decrease of WWI promoted by NAOi+ persistence/frequency, while the land greening-up and ET rises explain the WWI losses in the Iberian semiarid environments. This contribution sheds some light on the recent debate about magnitude/drivers of streamflow declining over southern Europe. Therefore, it might help water planning with the goal of mitigating the climate change impacts affecting the water cycle.
Small-scale topography explains patterns and dynamics of dissolved organic carbon exports from the riparian zone of a temperate, forested catchment

Published: November 2021

Abstract. Export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from riparian zones (RZs) is
an important component of temperate catchment carbon budgets, but
export mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here we show that DOC
export is predominantly controlled by the microtopography of the RZ
(lateral variability) and by riparian groundwater level dynamics
(temporal variability). From February 2017 until July 2019 we studied
topography, DOC quality and water fluxes and pathways in the RZ
of a small forested catchment and the receiving stream in central
Germany. The chemical classification of the riparian groundwater and
surface water samples (n=66) by Fourier transform ion cyclotron
resonance mass spectrometry revealed a cluster of plant-derived,
aromatic and oxygen-rich DOC with high concentrations
(DOCI) and a cluster of microbially processed, saturated
and heteroatom-enriched DOC with lower concentrations
(DOCII). The two DOC clusters were connected to locations
with distinctly different values of the high-resolution topographic
wetness index (TWIHR; at 1 m resolution) within the study
area. Numerical water flow modeling using the integrated surface–subsurface model HydroGeoSphere revealed that surface runoff from high-TWIHR zones associated with the DOCI cluster
(DOCI source zones) dominated overall discharge generation
and therefore DOC export. Although corresponding to only 15 % of the
area in the studied RZ, the DOCI source zones contributed
1.5 times the DOC export of the remaining 85 % of the area
associated with DOCII source zones. Accordingly, DOC quality
in stream water sampled under five event flow conditions (n=73) was
closely reflecting the DOCI quality. Our results suggest
that DOC export by surface runoff along dynamically evolving surface
flow networks can play a dominant role for DOC exports from RZs with
overall low topographic relief and should consequently be considered
in catchment-scale DOC export models. We propose that proxies of
spatial heterogeneity such as the TWIHR can help to
delineate the most active source zones and provide a mechanistic basis
for improved model conceptualization of DOC exports.
Combined application of animal manure and straw benefit soil fauna community in dryland farming
Authors: Sun Ling , Wu Jinggui
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Addition of organic wastes such as animal manures and straw is a feasible practice to alleviate soil degradation, and the mitigation is closely related to the activities of soil-dwelling fauna. In this study, the community structure of soil fauna were compared under four treatment regimes: straw only, and straw combined with the use of chicken manure, ox manure and pig manure. A total of 12459 soil fauna were captured, belonging to 23 groups. Treatments animal manure combined with straw led to increased the number of soil fauna groups and individuals, diversity index, richness index and dominance index, while reduced the evenness index of soil fauna. Compared to the other treatments, maize straw plus chicken manure and maize straw plus pig manure treatments had the largest number of soil fauna groups. Among all the treatments, Oribatida, Astigmata, Desoria and Folsomia were the dominant species, accounting for 69.94 % of the total number of individuals. Maize straw plus pig manure treatment had the largest diversity index soil fauna community. The richness index of soil fauna community in maize straw plus chicken manure and maize straw plus pig manure treatments were higher compared to other treatments. The highest dominance index of soil fauna was recorded in maize straw plus ox manure treatment. In conclusion, our findings suggested that animal manure combined with straw, especially the application of maize straw plus pig manure was the most effective treatment for enhancing soil fauna community.
On the evolution of an ice shelf melt channel at the base of Filchner Ice Shelf, from observations and viscoelastic modeling

Published: November 2021

Abstract. Ice shelves play a key role in the stability of the Antarctic Ice Sheet due to their buttressing effect. A loss of buttressing as a result of increased basal melting or ice shelf disintegration will lead to increased ice discharge. Some ice shelves exhibit channels at the base that are not yet fully understood. In this study, we present in-situ melt rates of a channel which is up to 330 m high and located at the southern Filchner Ice Shelf. Maximum observed melt rates are 2.3 m a−1. Melt rates decline inside the channel along flow and turn into freezing 55 km downstream of the grounding line. While closer to the grounding line melt rates are higher within the channel than outside, this reverses further downstream. Comparing the evolution of this channel under present-day climate conditions over 250 years with its present geometry reveals a mismatch. This mismatch indicates melt rates two times higher were necessary over the past 250 years to form today's channel geometry. In contrast, forcing the model with present-day melt rates results in a closure of the channel, which contradicts observations. Time series of melt rate measurements show strong tidally-induced variability in vertical strain-rates. We found no evidence of seasonality, but discrete pulses of increased melting occurred throughout the measurement period. The type of melt channel in this study diminishes with distance from the grounding line and are hence not a destabilizing factor for ice shelves.
Relationship between Southern Hemispheric jet variability and forced response: the role of the stratosphere
Authors: Breul Philipp , Ceppi Paulo , Shepherd Theodore Gordon
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Climate models show a wide range of Southern Hemispheric jet responses to greenhouse gas forcing. One approach to constrain future jet response is by utilising the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) that links forced response to internal variability timescales, with the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) the most dominant mode of variability of the Southern Hemispheric jet. We show that stratospheric variability approximately doubles the SAM timescale during austral summer in both re-analysis data and models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 5 (CMIP5). Using a simple barotropic model, we demonstrate how the enhanced SAM timescale subsequently leads to an overestimate of the forced jet response based on FDT, and introduce a method to correct for the stratospheric influence. Even after accounting for this influence, the SAM timescale cannot explain inter-model differences in the forced jet shift across CMIP5 models during austral summer, owing to other confounding factors.
Prognostics-based adaptive control strategy for lifetime control of wind turbines
Authors: Kipchirchir Edwin , Do Manh Hung , Njiri Jackson Githu , Söffker Dirk
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Variability of wind profiles in both space and time is responsible for fatigue loading in wind turbine components. Advanced control methods for mitigating structural loading in these components have been proposed in previous works. These also incorporate other objectives like speed and power regulation for above-rated wind speed operation. In recent years, lifetime control and extension strategies have been proposed to guaranty power supply and operational reliability of wind turbines. These control strategies typically rely on a fatigue load evaluation criteria to determine the consumed lifetime of these components, subsequently varying the control set-point to guaranty a desired lifetime of the components. Most of these methods focus on controlling the lifetime of specific structural components of a wind turbine, typically the rotor blade or tower. Additionally, controllers are often designed to be valid about specific operating points, hence exhibit deteriorating performance in varying operating conditions. Therefore, they are not able to guaranty a desired lifetime in varying wind conditions. In this paper an adaptive lifetime control strategy is proposed for controlled ageing of rotor blades to guaranty a desired lifetime, while considering damage accumulation level in the tower. The method relies on an online structural health monitoring system to vary the lifetime controller gains based on a State of Health (SoH) measure by considering the desired lifetime at every time-step. For demonstration, a 1.5 MW National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) reference wind turbine is used. The proposed adaptive lifetime controller regulates structural loading in the rotor blades to guaranty a predefined damage level at the desired lifetime without sacrificing on the speed regulation performance of the wind turbine. Additionally, significant reduction in the tower fatigue damage is observed.

Temporary Migration and Family Violence: How Perpetrators Weaponise Borders
Authors: Segrave Marie
Published: November 2021

This paper explores the implications of domestic and family violence occurring across borders, specifically the utilisation of border crossings to exert control and enact violence. While gendered violence can and does occur in border-crossing journeys, this paper focuses more specifically on how domestic and family violence extends across national borders and how violence (or the threat of violence and deportation) can manifest across multiple countries when women are temporary visa holders. This paper illuminates the way in which migration systems play a significant role in temporary migrant experiences of domestic and family violence. Drawing on a study of 300 temporary migrants and their experiences of domestic and family violence, I argue that perpetrators effectively weaponise the migration system to threaten, coerce and control women in different ways, most often with impunity. I also argue that we cannot focus on perpetrators and the individual alone—that we need to build on the border criminology scholarship that highlights the need to focus on systemic harm in the context of domestic and family violence and identify how the migration regime contributes to gendered violence.

Revisiting Female Resilience within the Psychiatric in Janice Galloway’s Fiction
Authors: González Sampedro Irene
Published: November 2021

The aim of this article is to analyse the fractures in the performance of normative discourses of identity in Janice Galloway’s novel The Trick Is To Keep Breathing (1989) and her short story “and drugs and rock and roll”, included in her latest collection Jellyfish (2015). Drawing on the thematic dialogue between the two works, set in Scotland, this article focuses specifically on their protagonists’ processes of healing following a period of depression, and the urban spatial representation of these experiences. In order to do so, it examines various practices associated with psychiatrics that isolate and dehumanise citizens and lead to the creation of a sharp social dichotomy as regards wellbeing. Finally, the article approaches the spatial embodiment of these characters, as well as the creation of alternative spaces inside medical institutions as part of a continuum in Galloway’s exploration of female resilience.
Beyond the ‘Glasgow Discourse’? Emotions and Affects in Ellie Harrison’s The Glasgow Effect and Darren McGarvey’s Poverty Safari.
Authors: Sassi Carla
Published: November 2021

The present article investigates two recently published essayistic memoirs, Ellie Harrison’s The Glasgow Effect (2019) and Darren McGarvey’s Poverty Safari (2017), and the debate between the two writers/artists within the wider framework of the Glasgow discourse, a manneristic imagination of the city shaped by the Glasgow novel in the course of the twentieth century. Focusing on issues of representation of traumatic historical memory, it relies especially on Myriam Jimeno’s idea of emotional community and presents the Glasgow novel as an example of such community, originally designed to make the predicament of the working classes visible. The article contends that many contemporary novels posit deviance from the genre’s original function of voicing the subaltern, exploiting instead a popular literary cliché. It also argues that both the texts, by representing their authors’ emotions and life stories as embedded in the city’s social and cultural landscape, dis/place the borders of the city’s imagination, simultaneously stumbling upon and pushing back the limits of the Glasgow discourse
THE GENESIS OF THE SOCIAL FUNCTION OF TAXES
Authors: TIKHONOVA Anna
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the substantiation of the existence of the social function of taxes. The relevance of the study is based on the fact that taxes levied on individuals should be simultaneously elements of the tax and social policy. The social function is identified, as a rule, only with the redistribution of income between rich and poor citizens. The study reveals other aspects of the social impact of taxes. The author not only gives a definition of the social function of the tax, but also reveals the mechanism of its implementation in foreign practice. In the course of the research, general methods of cognition and private scientific methods of cognition (tabular and graphical method) were used.
KAZAKHSTAN: A CASE STUDY IN STATE SUCCESSION TO INVESTMENT TREATIES
Authors: ALDIYAROVA Aidana
Published: November 2021

Two arbitral cases were initiated against Kazakhstan on the basis of the 1989 Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics for the Promotion and Reciprocal Protection of Investments. The tribunal of the first case (World Wide Minerals v. Republic of Kazakhstan) determined that Kazakhstan was a legal successor to the Canada-USSR BIT and found breaches of fair and equitable treatment. While in the second case (Gold Pool Limited Partnership v. Republic of Kazakhstan) the tribunal rejected the claimant’s argument that the Canada-USSR BIT was applicable to Kazakhstan. Since the decisions in these two cases have not been published, there is currently speculation that investors from other states besides Canada can take advantage of the Soviet Union’s treaties, even if there is no treaty in force with Kazakhstan. Thus, the aim of this paper is to show the legal framework and practice for treaty-making related to investment in Kazakhstan both pre-and post- collapse of the Soviet Union. In particular, this paper examines the relevant international treaties, diplomatic notes, intergovernmental-level statements regarding the succession to the USSR treaties, and the USSR and Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic investment legislations. It also provides recommendations for the future development of state succession and investment treaties.
WORLD EXPERIENCE IN COUNTERING AND PREVENTING EXTREMISM AND TERRORISM
Authors: ORUMBAYEVA Marzhan , KURMANGALI Aimen
Published: November 2021

Today, a wide range of measures are used in international practice to combat the spread of ideas of destructive associations. One of the significant directions of the sphere is the introduction of various methods for identifying and recognizing persons who have been exposed to destructive currents. The relevance lies in international experience, which shows that various institutions are engaged in identifying victims of destructive movements. The resources of public organizations (churches, NGOs, etc.) and state structures, mainly law enforcement, are often used. It should be noted that in this area, in most cases, monitoring activities are carried out when individual public or state institutions conduct a continuous monitoring process through various tools. The key purpose of this article is to collect and analyze information about the rehabilitation of persons affected by the activities of destructive associations.

Second language acquisition research and materials development: Need to bridge the gap between theory and practice
Authors: Karim Shahzad , Saeed Abdul , Haq Naushaba
Published: November 2021

This research paper highlights the issue of the lack of connection between second language acquisition (SLA) theory and research, particularly with regard to language pedagogy and its practical implementation in language teaching materials/textbooks. Based on a theoretical review of the major theoretical perspectives in SLA, the paper underscores that a gap exists between the theory developers (who develop theories through research) and the practitioners (who bear the responsibility for the implementation of theoretical knowledge) in the fields of SLA and materials development. This lack of cohesion between the theory developers and the practitioners causes the development of ineffective English language teaching (ELT) materials which, consequently, fail to make a substantial contribution to effective English language teaching and learning. The paper highlights that it is important to explore SLA theory and research and ensure its implementation in ELT materials. Similarly, there is a need to carry out research about the implementation of SLA theory in materials development and instructed language learning. Such research will be a significant contribution to the field of materials development and will open new horizons in language pedagogy from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
Eclogite-like rocks from Southern Pirin Mountains – preliminary results about petrology and time of formation
Authors: Macheva Lyubomirka , Machev Philip , Vassilevа Rossitsa , Plotkina Yulia
Published: November 2021

North-northeast of the village of Ilinden (Southern Pirin Mnt.) three eclogite boudins were separated on the geological map in scale 1:50 000 (Sarov, 2010). The rocks belong to the Slasten lithotectonic unit. The mineral assemblage and mineral chemistry do not allow these rocks to be classified as eclogites. They can be considered as eclogite-like ones, formed by postmagmatic-metasomatic alteration of the host rocks. Based on LA-ICP-MS sphene U-Pb dating, eclogite-like rocks yield a Late Jurassic age (160±19 Ma).
