Authors: Gökmen Mehmet Selman , Aydoğan Hasan
Published: August 2022

In this study, the effect of 1-Propanol / Gasoline fuel mixtures on engine performance values has been experimentally investigated. 1-Propanol is a primary alcohol with the formula CH3CH2CH2OH and sometimes represented as PrOH or n-PrOH. It is a colorless liquid and an isomer of 2-propanol. It is formed naturally in small amounts during many fermentation processes and used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry, mainly for resins and cellulose esters, and, sometimes, as a disinfecting agent. In this study, 1-Propanol and gasoline were mixed in certain proportions and TSI was applied in a gasoline engine. The changes in the performance of 1-Propanol-gasoline fuel blends used in Direct Injection Engine were investigated in this experimental study. P5 (5% 1-Propanol, 95% gasoline fuel by volume), P10 and gasoline fuel were used as fuel. The tests were performed at full-throttle valve opening and variable engine speeds. At 2500 rpm and below the P5 blends caused a reduction in engine power by 1.68% and engine torque by 3.15%, but reduced BSFC by 11.39%. The P10 blend reduced the BSFC by 14.57%, although it caused a 2.41% reduction in engine power and a 5.71% reduction in engine torque.

Published: August 2022

Abstract. A WISSDOM (Wind Synthesis System using Doppler Measurements) synthesis scheme was developed to derive high-resolution 3-dimensional (3D) winds under clear-air conditions. From this variational-based scheme, detailed wind information was obtained from scanning Doppler lidars, automatic weather stations (AWSs), sounding observations, and local reanalysis datasets (LDAPS, Local Data Assimilation and Prediction System), which were utilized as constraints to minimize the cost function. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance and accuracy of derived 3D winds from this newly developed scheme. A strong wind event was selected to demonstrate its performance over complex terrain in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The size of the test domain is 12 × 12 km2 extended up to 3 km height mean sea level (MSL) with remarkably high horizontal and vertical resolution of 50 m. The derived winds reveal that reasonable patterns were explored from a control run, as they have high similarity with the sounding observations. The results of intercomparisons show that the correlation coefficients between derived horizontal winds and sounding observations are 0.97 and 0.87 for u- and v-component winds, respectively, and the averaged bias (root mean square deviation, RMSD) of horizontal winds is between −0.78 and 0.09 (1.72 and 1.65) m s−1. The correlation coefficients between WISSDOM-derived winds and lidar QVP (quasi-vertical profile) are 0.84 and 0.35 for u- and v-component winds, respectively, and the averaged bias (RMSD) of horizontal winds is between 2.83 and 2.26 (3.69 and 2.92) m s−1. The statistical errors also reveal a satisfying performance of the retrieved 3D winds; the median values of wind directions are −5~5 (0~2.5) degrees, the wind speed is approximately −1~3 m s−1 (−1~0.5 m s−1) and the vertical velocity is −0.2~0.6 m s−1 compared with the lidar QVP (sounding observations). A series of sensitivity tests with different weighting coefficients, radius of influence (RI) in interpolation and various combination of different datasets were also performed, and the results indicate that the present setting of the control run is the best reference to WISSDOM synthesis in this event.

Published: August 2022

Abstract. River corridors are fundamental components of the Earth system, and their biogeochemistry can be heavily influenced by processes in subsurface zones immediately below the riverbed, referred to as the hyporheic zone. Within the hyporheic zone, organic matter (OM) fuels microbial respiration, and OM chemistry heavily influences aerobic and anaerobic biogeochemical processes. The link between OM chemistry and respiration has been hypothesized to be mediated by OM molecular diversity, whereby respiration is predicted to decrease with increasing diversity. Here we test the specific prediction that aerobic respiration rates will decrease with increases in the number of unique organic molecules (i.e., OM molecular richness, as a measure of diversity). We use publicly available data across the United States from crowdsourced samples taken by the Worldwide Hydrobiogeochemical Observation Network for Dynamic River Systems (WHONDRS) consortium. Our continental-scale analyses rejected the hypothesis of a direct limitation of respiration by OM molecular richness. In turn, we found that organic carbon (OC) concentration imposes a primary constraint over hyporheic zone respiration, with additional potential influences of OM richness. We specifically observed respiration rates to decrease nonlinearly with the ratio of OM richness to OC concentration. This relationship took the form of a constraint space with respiration rates in most systems falling below the constraint boundary. A similar, but slightly weaker, constraint boundary was observed when relating respiration rate to the inverse of OC concentration. These results indicate that maximum respiration rates may be governed primarily by OC concentration, with secondary influences from OM richness. Our results also show that other variables often suppress respiration rates below the maximum associated with the richness-to-concentration ratio. An important focus of future research efforts will identify factors that suppress hyporheic zone respiration below the constraint boundaries observed here.

Published: August 2022

Abstract. A complete global flood event record helps researchers analyse the distribution law of global floods and better formulate and manage disaster prevention and reduction policies. This study used GRACE terrestrial water storage and precipitation data combined with high-frequency filtering, anomaly detection and flood potential index methods to successfully extract historical flood days quasi-globally between Apr. 1st, 2002, and Aug. 31st, 2016, and further compared and validated the results with Dartmouth Flood Observatory (DFO) data, Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC) discharge data, news reports and social media data. The results showed that the floods extracted in this study can cover 81 % of the flood events in the DFO database and supplement many additional flood events not recorded by the DFO. Moreover, the probability of detection exceeding 0.5 reached 62 % in level-4 river basins compared to flood events derived from the GRDC discharge data. These detection capabilities and detection results are both good. We finally provided flood day products with 1° spatial resolution covering the range of 60° S–60° N from Apr. 1st, 2002, to Aug. 31st, 2016. This research provides a data foundation for the mechanistic analysis and attribution of global flood events.

APPLYING DIFFERENT MODES OF ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION TO CONFLICT SITUATIONS: A CASE STUDY OF RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR
Authors: Sami Ur Rahman, Ms. Anum Jarral
Published: August 2022

This research article aims to analyze the recent on-going conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has disturbed the peace of Europe after 30 years. Since, Russia is among the global powers of the world and a major exporter of oil and grains and Ukraine serves as a transit route, so if the sanctions and war is prolonged, the world will face dire consequences much more than it is experiencing at the moment. Amidst all the chaos there has to be a way out which assists in broking a peace deal between the two adversaries. And therefore, the article mentions that adapting a mode of ADR for resolving the conflict is the best bet. It also visits the course of history to highlight how mediation was successfully used in the past conflicts to resolve the issues and the same can be true for the present conflict. Though many countries by now have shown willingness to mediate between both countries but Turkey enjoys an upper hand over them due to its significance in the region. In view of all these factors and the present deadlock that has clouded the fate of peace in Europe, recommendations have been given in the end which can prove to be effective in putting an end to this fiasco.

Experimental study of the chromium-nickel steel Cr18Ni10 anodic dissolution in a nitrate solution with electrical conductivity 0.15 S/cm in a pulse – galvanostatic mode at pulse durations 20–100 µs and current densities 0.01–100 A/cm2, with a change in the duty cycle 10–100% (direct current) at various hydrodynamic conditions and control the surface temperature, that the results obtained are consistent with the hypothesis that the process proceeds through the formation of oxide films of a semiconductor nature with a different type of conductivity (a film containing point defects, Point Defect Model, PDM). Under sta-tionary conditions of the existence of PDM-II, the rate of its electrochemical formation is compensates by the rate of its chemical limiting value of the weight loss per unit of a passed charge (0.16–0.18 mg/C) (takes place under pulse conditions), which corresponds to a cur-rent efficiency close to 100% based on the highest degree of oxidation of the steel compo-nents. When transition to direct current takes place, thermokinetic instability of the film is observed (its formation and destruction due to thermal explosion). Under these conditions, the current efficiency can not only reach 100% based on the lowest degree of oxi-dation of the steel components (thermal activation) but also exceed this value due to the chemical interaction of the electrolyte with the film-free surface.

The methodology, technique, and results of studies of the formation of films on the glass surface during laser irradiation of water solutions of copper sulfate with radiation are presented. The nanosecond radiation of an yttrium-aluminum garnet laser with a generation wavelength λ = 1.06 μm was used. Solutions with different concentrations of copper sulfate were applied. The structure of the films obtained in this case was compared with the structure of the films obtained as a result of drying solutions without exposure to laser radiation. The resulting films have both ordered and disordered structures. The characteristic dimensions of the structural elements of the films are 0.5–10 μm. The transmission of films in the visible spectral region (400–800 nm) was studied. In general, the resulting films are transparent in this area. Their transmission practically does not depend on the wavelength, but is different for different concentrations of the used solutions of copper sulfate.

With the continued and increasing emphasis on the relationship between the built environment and human health, a number of assessment and audit tools have been developed to ascertain these co-dependent relationships. These tools aim to assist policymakers and researchers to systematically appraise features in the built environment that may aid or hinder the spread of diseases or otherwise encourage behaviours that may affect health negatively, and design interventions to curtail these negative impacts correspondingly. Some of these tools have an added emphasis on health promotion, by highlighting features and processes that enhance human health positively.
A Study on the Purpose of the Damage Remedy System and the Concept of the Damage
Authors:   Institute of Legal Myungji Uiversity, Kwon Ohsang
Published: August 2022

Among the various issues regarding the damage remedy system, the purpose and concept of the damage are the most fundamental ones that suggest a direction for how we should look at the damage in specific cases. Above all, regarding the purpose of the damage remedy system, the original one was the corrective justice, but in the contemporary welfare society, the distributive justice is being more and more emphasized. Our Civil Code pursues a fair and valid sharing of damage, which implies that the code accepts both corrective and distributive justices.
Regarding the concept of damage, the Roman law did not clearly distinguish the contractual damage from the that of tort, but established the concept that the damage would involve violation and gain, and such concept would form the basis of the Medieval law and would also form the background of the damage in the contemporary civil laws. This study would review the concepts of the damage in German and French civil codes and then, discuss their concept in the US Tort. Specifically, this study examines the core disputes regarding the concept of the damage to better understand the core discussions of such concepts related with the concept of the damage as differential amount theory, normative concept of damage and foreseeability in an effort to make clear the discussions regarding the scope of the damage in Article 393 of our Civil Code. In particular, domestic majority of theories and judicial precedents adopt the Proximate casual relation theory as a criterion for decision on the scope of the damage, but Article 393 itself should function as criteria for decision on the scope of the damage. Hence, as the Paragraph 2 of Article 393 stipulates, it is judged that the foreseeability shall be the criteria for decision on the special damage, and that beside the principles of interest balancing and the foreseeability, other specific validity such as purpose of the norm should be considered for a fair distribution of the damage.
Review of Changes in the Media Industry in the Era of Platform and Improvement Potential through Application of Competition Law
Authors:   Institute of Legal Myungji Uiversity, Hong Myungsu
Published: August 2022

The dominance of the platform is gradually expanding around the world, and this phenomenon is no exception in Korea. This phenomenon is particularly noticeable in the media industry, and the expansion of the platform's dominance is a factor that further intensifies the media crisis that has already been underway. Currently, online articles are provided through platforms, and as a result, media companies' dependence on the platform is increasing. In this situation, the self-sustaining foundation of the media company will weaken, and the core function of the media based on diversity will inevitably shrink. To solve this problem, measures have been proposed to increase the responsiveness of media companies to the platform or to regulate the relationship between the platform and media by a third party that guarantees fairness. The former is embodied in a way that grants neighboring rights to media companies under the Copyright Act to enhance the bargaining power of media companies that provide articles through the platform. The latter is typical of the operation of the "News Alliance Evaluation Commission" in Korea, which is based on the perception that arbitrary exercise of control of the platform can be suppressed by the committee deciding whether to maintain transaction relations between the platform and media companies in an independent position. Such attempts are expected to contribute to solving problems to some extent, but certain limitations are also being revealed. To supplement this, it is necessary to actively consider the application of competition laws. The media provides the basis for democracy, the principle of political order, and competition is a key factor in maintaining media diversity. This internal connection between the media and competition will not only support the validity of the application of the competition law to the media sector, but also serve as a basis for expecting the effectiveness of regulations under the competition law.

Authors:   Institute of Legal Myungji Uiversity, Kim bongyeon , Lee sangmin
Published: August 2022

The Contraction out of local government has been administered without any definite standards, so some practical issues are exposed, where the only legal basis for it is a provision of the Local Autonomy Act. However, such practical issues consequently become the issue of whether it needs the consent of the local council.
Even the contracting out of local governments based on laws and the contracting out between local governments, if necessary, should be subject to local laws and regulations and public agencies should be restrictively interpreted, ultimately to clarify the objects of the consent of local councils. How to administer the consent of local councils appears as an issue in regard to the councils’ authority to consent.
Although the contracting out of local governments is intended to use private agencies’ expertise and ensure the public openness to citizens, by allowing them to participate in public sectors, its nature as public affairs does not change. It is thus necessary to consider the rule of local councils’ consent in terms of the contraction out of local governments, as a measure for controlling the general monopolization of heads of local governments and securing the efficiency and fairness of it, for executive agencies and local councils to pursue public benefit, based on the principle of check and balance.
De la revuelta a la nueva constitución
Authors: Gómez Yuri Hernán Ignacio
Published: August 2022

Este trabajo busca dar cuenta del vínculo entre la noción de dignidad y los derechos humanos, señalando el modo en que esta podría ser adecuada para que la nueva Constitución responda a los intereses y esperanzas de la ciudadanía que propició su génesis. En este orden de ideas, la primera parte de la investigación busca mostrar la forma en que la dignidad se relaciona con las demandas expresadas en el estallido social chileno de 2019, como recurso retórico que ofrece un núcleo semántico común a los diversos movimientos volcados en las calles. A continuación, se aterriza la discusión en el plano jurídico, acudiendo a los aportes del derecho internacional y doméstico, siguiendo una estructura expositiva que distingue entre la relación de la dignidad con derechos negativos y positivos, para dar cuenta del modo en que la satisfacción de las exigencias normativas que ella impone, supone obligaciones negativas de abstención y positivas de proveer las condiciones que permitan llevar una vida digna.
CONVERGENCIA ESTOCÁSTICA DE DATOS DE PANEL NO ESTACIONARIOS. UN ANÁLISIS PARA LOS PAÍSES DE LA ALADI
Authors: Alejandro Villarroel Daniela Elizabeth
Published: August 2022

El objetivo de este artículo de investigación es analizar la convergencia estocástica entre las economías que pertenecen a la Asociación Latinoamericana de Integración (ALADI) fundamentándose en el marco de datos de panel mediante técnicas de cointegración con las propiedades del ingreso real per-cápita considerando dependencia transversal de los individuos, la cual es capturada por factores comunes inobservables, también se presentan estimaciones con raíces unitarias y múltiples rupturas estructurales para evitar sesgos y que los resultados obtengan buenas inferencias estadísticas. La metodología de investigación es cuantitativa con alcance correlacional. De manera general, se rechaza la hipótesis de convergencia estocástica en la mayoría de los modelos econométricos propuestos. Se deduce que el tratado ALADI, en términos de renta per-cápita con relación a la media regional no ha llevado a la convergencia de las economías dado el bloque de integración.
¿QUIÉNES SON LOS NINIS? UNA CARACTERIZACIÓN SOCIOECONÓMICA DESDE UNA PERSPECTIVA DE GÉNERO EN ECUADOR
Authors: Pacheco Morales Samanta , Centeno Lavayen Milesha
Published: August 2022

Los jóvenes entre 15 y 24 años que no se encuentran adheridos al sistema educativo formal, ni al sistema laboral remunerado, son denominados NiNis. En los últimos años este segmento poblacional se ha constituido como un fenómeno persistente y creciente, especialmente en los países subdesarrollados. En este contexto, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar las características socioeconómicas de los NiNis en Ecuador en el periodo 2008-2017; para ello, se parte desde un panorama a nivel regional, para posteriormente analizar las causas que inciden en la conformación de este fenómeno a nivel nacional, utilizando como sustento teórico el enfoque de la economía de género. La metodología es de tipo cualitativa y cuantitativa. Los resultados indican que la población NiNi está integrada mayoritariamente por mujeres tanto a nivel regional como nacional, y que las causas responden, en términos generales, a una asimétrica distribución de las actividades de cuidado al interior de los hogares.

Este estudio analiza los determinantes de la participación laboral femenina en el Ecuador antes y después del covid-19. Para ello, se estimó un modelo logit de respuesta binaria de participación laboral y un modelo logit de respuesta ordenada para evaluar los cambios en las jornadas de trabajo. Los datos se obtuvieron de la Encuesta Nacional de Empleo, Desempleo y Subempleo (ENEMDU) del mes de septiembre de 2019 y 2021. Los resultados muestran que ser jefa de hogar y tener educación superior son los principales determinantes (positivos) de la participación laboral femenina; mientras que estar casada o tener hijos menores de 6 años de edad reducen su participación laboral. Además, se encontró que después del covid-19 las jornadas de trabajo disminuyeron para las mujeres con menos educación, jóvenes y con hijos menores de 6 años. En materia de política pública se recomienda llevar a cabo programas de guarderías que permitan a las madres continuar con sus actividades laborales, así como programas de inclusión laboral para las mujeres y jóvenes.

Las desigualdades de género presentes en el mercado laboral, tienen su origen en la división sexual del trabajo, esta asigna roles y estereotipos que, a su vez, construyen y reproducen las condiciones desiguales en las que los mismos acceden al empleo, siendo un fenómeno que afecta el mercado de trabajo de manera global. Por esta razón, el objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la incidencia del género en las desigualdades del mercado laboral del cantón Guayaquil durante el periodo 2010-2019. En cuanto a la metodología utilizada, corresponde al enfoque cuantitativo puesto que se ha trabajado con las bases primarias de la ENEMDU a diciembre de cada año analizado. Entre los resultados obtenidos se encontró una marcada diferencia en las condiciones en las que hombres y mujeres acceden al mercado laboral, además de examinar la concentración ocupacional del género en determinadas actividades y una brecha salarial que perjudica a las mujeres.
LA PRODUCCIÓN AGRÍCOLA NO TRADICIONAL DE UVA Y SU INCIDENCIA EN EL DESARROLLO RURAL DE LA PROVINCIA DE SANTA ELENA, PERIODO 2010-2020
Authors: Loor Reyes Jerson , Pino Peralta Sergio
Published: August 2022

La presente investigación tiene como principal propósito determinar el crecimiento de la producción agrícola no tradicional de uva con el desarrollo del sector rural en la Provincia de Santa Elena. La producción de uva implica una amplia gama de actividades que, a lo largo del ciclo de producción, exige mucho conocimiento técnico por parte del productor. Esta investigación es de tipo cualitativo y cuantitativo, se realizó una investigación de campo visitando la empresa Pura Vida y la empresa Quilziolli del grupo SanLucar, ambas ubicadas en la Parroquia El Azúcar, de la provincia de Santa Elena, con el objetivo de analizar la situación de los productores y los trabajadores relacionados a la producción de uva, y por último se realizó una encuesta a las poblaciones cercanas a las empresas productoras de uva, para determinar su situación económica actual. Se realizó el análisis de resultados del estudio, donde se verifica que existe aún poco interés en las producciones no tradicionales por parte del Estado ecuatoriano, y las mayores inversiones las realizan los inversionistas extranjeros, y por parte de la población aún existen niveles de desarrollo bajos en estas zonas rurales, a pesar de las condiciones favorables que poseen en la parte agrícola. Se concluye que los principales mercados consumidores todavía desconocen la calidad de la uva producida en Santa Elena, y no es raro que adquieran el producto pensando que es importado. Por ello, se recomienda crear un sello que pueda promocionar una marca de identidad en los clientes, trabajando sobre la indicación geográfica, construyendo una proximidad simbólica al consumidor.

Background and aim: Metabolic diseases and hypertension have increased dramatically in recent years, so the prevalence of hypertension in patients with cirrhosis is expected to increase. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis and to determine its association with the severity of the liver disease. Patients and methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, analytical study conducted at the Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases Department, Tanta University Hospital, Egypt. A total of 2051 patients with liver cirrhosis of various etiology were screened for participation in this study.  2014 patients were enrolled. They underwent blood pressure evaluation, blood tests and abdominal ultrasonography. Patients were classified into hypertensive and non-hypertensive groups. Results: The prevalence of arterial hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis was 30.8%. As regards Child-Pugh class, hypertensive patients in class A were significantly increased (72.9 versus 48.7% respectively) while patients in class B and C were significantly decreased when compared with non- hypertensive patients (25.5,1.6 versus 33.29,17.93% respectively) (P <0.001). Conclusions: The prevalence of arterial hypertension in Egyptian cirrhotic patients is 30.7%, lower than that of the general population. Arterial hypertension is inversely associated with the severity of liver disease.
