Increasing the Seismic Resistance of Wood-frame Buildings by Applying PU Foam as Thermal Insulation
Authors: Migda Wojciech , Szczepański Marcin , Jankowski Robert
Published: April 2019

Wood-frame buildings are very common in regions that are exposed to earthquakes. Most of residential buildings are constructed using this technology; therefore, the seismic resistance of them is really essential in order to prevent human losses and structural damage. The aim of the present article is to show the results of the detailed numerical FEM analysis focused on the seismic behaviour of the wood-frame house with different in-wall insulation materials. The results of the study clearly indicate that using polyurethane (PU) foam instead of mineral wool leads to the increase in the rigidity of the structure and, therefore, to the substantial reduction in the structural response under different seismic excitations. The results also show that, generally speaking, the level of reduction in the displacement response increases with the increase in the magnitude of the earthquake, which even furthermore benefits the application of PU foam as an insulation material. It has also been concluded that the method of using PU foam can be successfully applied not only in the newly constructed wood-frame houses but also in existing ones since replacing the mineral wool with PU foam is relatively easy and not so much expensive.

Published: April 2019

Separation in microfluidic devices is a crucial enabling step for many industrial, biomedical, clinical or chemical applications. Acoustic methods offer contactless, biocompatible, scalable sorting with high degree of reconfigurability and are therefore favored techniques. The literature reports on various techniques to achieve particle separation, but these do not investigate the sensitivity of these methods or are difficult to compare due to the lack of figures of merit. In this paper, we present analytical and numerical sensitivity analysis of the time-of-flight and a phase-modulated sorting scheme against various extrinsic and intrinsic properties. The results reveal great robustness of the phase-modulated sorting method against variations of the flow rate or acoustic energy density, while the time-of-flight method shows lower efficiency drop against size and density variations. The results presented in this paper provide a better understanding of the two sorting methods and offer advice on the selection of the right technique for a given sorting application.

Сlassification culture of the Russia
Authors: Sukiasyan E. R.
Published: April 2019

Classification culture – a set of achievements of the country in the field of classification systems (CS): the study of their history and theory, the creation of own systems and the development of foreign experience, publications and options, practice of application. It is told about the achievements of Russia: works on the history of library CS, the directions of theoretical studies. For example, he CS history is well studied – from ancient times to the present day. Interesting CS were developed in the 18–19th century (for the largest and some university libraries). Schedules of the foreign CS – complete translation of the Colon Classification and the Dewey Decimal Classification into Russian was published. Published Russian UDC retranslation in 10 volumes. The country has CS, recognized by the international community as the National System of Russia (firstly published in the years 1961–1968 in the 30 books). Contemporary classification practice is distinguished by the presence of variants of schedules – full, medium and abridged, in book and machine-readable form. The experience of developing classification schedules for children's and school libraries is unique. The conclusion is made: Russia certainly has a high level of classification culture.
Storing digital books in electronic libraries: Comparison analysis of various graphic format use
Authors: Rozhnov V. I.
Published: April 2019

The author begins with discussing the key provisions of document digitization. He characterizes the unified requirements of the National Electronic Library. Further, he analyzes the graphic formats for digitized copies (TIFF, JPEG, PNG). The advantages and drawbacks of each of the formats are discussed. Due to the rapid technologies advance and emergence of reader devices, the libraries that purchase now affordable HD-scanners can increase digitization efficiency with heavy graphic formats and to increase the rate of filling the servers’ storage. The modern text recognition technologies and programs enable to initiate collections digitization. Having analyzed the formats, the author expectedly asks the following question: how to use less resources for digitization and further storage without losing the documents cultural and historical value? To solve this problem, the author suggests to modify document classification and use text recognition technologies with further storing in files which would enable to use the text directly (TXT, DOC, PDF). The author concludes that there is the need for a new consistent technology deprived of the existing drawbacks.
The "Original Couple": Enabling Mothers and Infants to Think About What Destroys as Well as Engenders Love, When There Has Been Intimate Partner Violence
Authors: Jones, Sarah , Bunston Wendy
Published: April 2019

This paper addresses the importance for therapists, working with infants, of holding in mind all aspects of the parental couple's relationship history, both positive and negative. This also includes the therapists' possible ambivalence about a violent father. Using object relations and attachment theory frameworks we articulate our approach to the "original couple" when working in the area of family violence and infant mental health. We propose that if therapists can develop this capacity, it assists both mothers, and ultimately their infants, in tolerating thinking about their violent experiences. Work with infants and their mothers in an infant/mother psychotherapy group for those affected by family violence is described, illustrated by a clinical vignette.
The Synergy of Concurrent Couple and Child Therapies Viewed Through the Lens of Link and Field Theories
Authors: Sehon Caroline
Published: April 2019

This case discussion will explore the benefits of using a family treatment model in which a psychoanalytic couple therapy and an individual child therapy are conducted conjointly by the same clinician. This psychoanalyst will discuss the rationale for designing this treatment strategy for this particular family. This study will provide, at different phases of the treatment, samples of dream material, play narratives, and vignettes from the child therapy and the couple therapy sessions. Transference and countertransference elements will be discussed, with particular reference to exploring how the integration of these elements, in these separate but interrelated treatment contexts, can provide an enriched lens through which to consider treatment of the family as a whole. The case relates to link theory and analytic field concepts through an explication of the intergenerational and professional network implications of concurrent therapies.
Psychic "Geodes"—The Presence of Absence: 18th Enid Balint Memorial Lecture 2013
Authors: Raphael-Leff Joan
Published: April 2019

A reproductive disaster affects all members of the family. When it occurs while a young child is preoccupied with issues of gender, genesis, generation, and generativity, it constitutes a double crisis too great to negotiate alone. The toddler's disillusionment with parental power is counterbalanced by omnipotent fantasy and guilt for doing away with an unwanted rival.

Mourning grants death the respect it deserves, providing a narrative that integrates absence into ongoing life in a meaningful way. But if a child is not helped, the unmourned trauma disrupts the momentous task of acquiring "generative identity", affecting reproductive choices in adulthood with repetitive acts of sacrifice or procreative reparation.

It is proposed that when carers disavow their own loss, the child internalises an encapsulated version of their unconscious communication of "nothingness" coupled with excruciating self-blame. This "psychic geode" remains hived off as a presence of absence, but when "cracked open" by subsequent events, the original confusion spills out, unmodified by time's passage.

A couple is presented, whose respective trust in natural generative processes was eroded in childhood when imaginary scenarios manifested in reality, before causality and fantasy could be disentangled.

From Container to Claustrum: Projective Identification in Couples
Authors: Feldman Tamara
Published: April 2019

This paper is a contribution to the growing literature on the role of projective identification in understanding couples' dynamics. Projective identification as a defence is well suited to couples, as intimate partners provide an ideal location to deposit unwanted parts of the self. This paper illustrates how projective identification functions differently depending on the psychological health of the couple. It elucidates how healthier couples use projective identification more as a form of communication, whereas disturbed couples are inclined to employ it to invade and control the other, as captured by Meltzer's concept of "intrusive identification". These different uses of projective identification affect couples' capacities to provide what Bion called "containment". In disturbed couples, partners serve as what Meltzer termed "claustrums" whereby projections are not contained, but imprisoned or entombed in the other. Applying the concept of claustrum helps illuminate common feelings these couples express, such as feeling suffocated, stifled, trapped, held hostage, or feeling as if the relationship is killing them. Finally, this paper presents treatment challenges in working with more disturbed couples.
Sexual Desire Disorder: A Case Study from a Dynamic Perspective
Authors: Caruso Norma
Published: April 2019

This paper examines the dynamics of sexual desire by considering a couple with loss of desire in one partner. It uses the language of attachment and object relations to understand the couple's sexual dysfunction and illustrates the integration of behavioural and psychoanalytic techniques to provide treatment. The treatment outcome supports the idea that compared with those with less secure attachment patterns, more securely attached individuals are better able to integrate attachment and sexuality (Eagle, 2007). This paper also upholds the attachment tenet that a secure base serves as the foundation for exploration (Ainsworth, 1972), in this case, of the body (Holmes, 2007).
Implications of the Intergenerational Linking Functions for the Parental Selfdyad in the Treatment of a Narcissistic Adolescent
Authors: Zeitner Richard M.
Published: April 2019

In this paper the author presents a case of a narcissistic adolescent boy with crippling anxieties and multiple inhibitions, where the contributing intergenerational history of self-difficulties had infiltrated the parental couple's "selfdyad" in a way that could not be adequately contained. Having lost much of the capacity for the mutual selfobject relatedness that is required for a good enough selfdyad regulation, the parents' introjects were then split off and re-projected into their child. The author demonstrates a way of working in the treatment with the use of multiple psychoanalytic therapies, individual, couple, and family modalities. Furthermore, he elaborates a rationale for such a format, especially for those cases in which the intergenerational family projection-linking functions are especially salient and continue to exert a negative influence on the identified patient.
The Contribution of Enrique Pichon-Rivière: Comparisons with His European Contemporaries and with Modern Theory
Authors: Scharff David E.
Published: April 2019

Enrique Pichon-Rivière, a pioneer of psychoanalysis, worked and wrote in Argentina in the mid-twentieth century, but his work has not so far been translated into English. From the beginning, Pichon-Rivière understood the social applications of analytic thinking, centring his ideas on "el vinculo", which is generally translated as "the link", but could equally be translated as "the bond". The concept that each individual is born into human social links, is shaped by them, and simultaneously contributes to them inextricably ties people's inner worlds to the social world of family and society in which they live. Pichon-Rivière believed, therefore, that family analysis and group and institutional applications of analysis were as important as individual psychoanalysis. Many of the original family and couple therapists from whom our field learned trained with him. Because his work was centred in the analytic writings of Fairbairn and Klein, as well as those of the anthropologist George Herbert Mead and the field theory of Kurt Lewin, his original ideas have important things to teach us today. This article summarises some of his central ideas such as the link, spiral process, the single determinate illness, and the process of therapy.
Sexual Fantasy, Unconscious Phantasy, and The Dynamics of Attachment
Authors: Clulow Christopher
Published: April 2019

This article explores sexual fantasy as an articulation of unconscious phantasy in couple relationships. Drawing on patterns of attachment, and attending to “pretend” and “psychic equivalence” states of mind, it considers the potential of partners to combine in enacting shared unconscious phantasy through fantasy-driven sexual encounters. Observations about different forms of narcissistic object relating are made in this context, and some implications for couple therapists suggested. Keywords: sexual fantasy, shared unconscious phantasy, attachment in couples, narcissistic object relating, couple psychotherapy.
Love, Hate, and Otherness in Intimate Relating
Authors: Morgan Mary
Published: April 2019

It is suggested that love and hate and the curiosity about these emotions are part of a loving relationship and gives life to the relationship. When hate is denied it can have an insidious effect on the relationship. Hate arises as part of the problem of being with an “other” who challenges our perceptions and sense of truth about our self and the other. It also arises with the limitations on being able to understand and feel understood by another. The disillusionment that follows the “in love state” can also give rise to a grievance which is not worked through. Aggression and transgression are part of sexual intimacy, but unless contained by love, they can be denuded of love and become hateful. But the splitting-off of all aggression can lead to a loss of desire and capacity for intimacy.
Brief intervention with a Chinese family of a school-refusing fourteen-year-old girl
Authors: Scharff David E. , Wanlass Janine
Published: April 2019

This article describes a clinical intervention with a Chinese family whose fourteen-year-old girl suffers from school phobia and a psychiatric diagnosis of psychosis. The interview, conducted through translation and in front of an audience of Chinese colleagues, nevertheless demonstrates our way of working psychoanalytically with families, and in this particular setting offers an opportunity to see how cultural factors, intergenerational trauma, and alcoholism, contribute both to an example of “school phobia”, and to a picture of adolescent pseudo-psychosis, suicidality, and family-wide disturbance.
Revisiting Demeter and Persephone
Paper B - Revisiting Persephone: towards reconceptualising female subjectivity and erotics
Authors: Mayo Rosalind , Moutsou Christina
Published: April 2019

In Paper B, we focus on the figure of Persephone in the myth, as the daughter, but also, as “the silent object of desire” of male imagination. We question whether Persephone’s forceful abduction is a representation of the emergence of female sexuality, as it has often been argued within psychoanalysis (Chodorow, 2012), or in fact, a symbolic representation of female subordination and objectification. We discuss a clinical vignette illustrating how a mother who is unable to face up to her own and her daughter’s vulnerability, unlike Demeter, can result in a daughter who is unable to protect herself from violation, and who cannot find her way up from the underworld so to speak. We then discuss the film, The Handmaiden, where the question of mother–daughter separation is a central theme. We argue that a strong mother–daughter bond is in fact central to the ability of women to find a healthy place for sexual desire and a close relationship in adult life, and that the nature of the mother–daughter bond is such that both mother and daughter seek out each other’s love and care throughout the lifespan.
Management of deradicalisation in the UK: reflections of a clinical psychologist
Authors: Hussain Feryad A.
Published: April 2019

Radicalisation to violent action is not just a problem in foreign lands. Research has identified numerous politico–psychosocial factors to explain why young people from the UK are now joining terrorist groups such as ISIS. Our understanding has been expanded by the accounts of “returnees” who have subsequently either self-deradicalised or joined a government deradicalisation programme in the role of an Intervention Provider (IP). These individuals are now key to the deradicalisation programme. This article presents the reflections of a clinical psychologist who worked within a social healthcare team managing psychosocial issues related to radicalisation, in conjunction with an allocated IP. The project involved individuals from the Muslim community and, as such, issues discussed are specific to this group. It is acknowledged that the process in general is universally applicable to all groups though specifics may vary (under Trust agreement, details may not be discussed). This article also aims to share basic information on the current Home Office deradicalisation programme and raises questions about the current intervention. It also offers reflections on how the work of IPs may be facilitated and supported by clinical/counselling psychologists and psychotherapists.

Along with the development of science and technology, problems often occur that threaten security at home. These problems originate from a level of security that does not meet security standards at home. Various problems that can threaten home security conditions are fire hazards that can be caused by neglect of home temperature regulation and electrochemical equipment that is uncontrolled by the homeowner or thief danger that can easily enter the house. The design of the home security system prototype is programmed and controlled by the NodeMCU ESP-8266 to transmit all data from sensor readings to the interface on the Cayenne dashboard. PIR sensor (HC-SR501) has a digital output, if the sensor detects a movement, the NodeMCU ESP-8266 will give a logical value of one. Gas sensor concentration (MQ-02) in testing has an average difference of 2.79 ppm (part per million). The reading results of all sensors will be measured through the Internet of Things interface displayed on the Cayenne dashboard, the simulated gas concentration with gas matches with the difference results, test results and analysis results of 2.79 ppm (part per million) and if the gas sensor (MQ -02) Exceeds the specified parameters, the buzzer will sound. PIR sensor testing (HC-SR501) will work optimally by human movement if at an angle of 45˚ because the success rate is 100% in ten experiments and in the 90˚ angle the success rate is 80%.

Published: April 2019

Physical development is one of the indicators characterizing the health of children and reflects the risk factors of the impact of its infringement. The article presents the results of a comprehensive assessment of physical development of Nenets-children (7-17 years old) born and residing on the territory of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. It was found that in all age groups among boys and girls there is prevalence of persons with a harmonious physical development and normal weight. Difference from common patterns peculiar to this period of ontogenesis has been revealed, - "the first crossing of growth curves" in the Nenets-children was recorded at the age of 14 years. In (63,4 ± 4,9) % of surveyed vital capacity of lungs lags far behind the proper values. The value of life index in (86,1 ± 2,9) % of children indicates delay in a body capacity formation and in development of chest and back muscles. The suggestion about the adaptive nature of vital capacity reduction was made. Somato-typological analysis revealed among surveyed persons with asthenic somato-type. Thus, (59,8 ± 4,2) % of the Nenets-children have asthenic somato-type, (36,5 ± 4,1) % - normosthenic, (3,7 ± 1,6) % - hypersthenic somato-types. Comparative analysis showed that anthropometric indices of boys and girls under 14 years old had similar values. The research conducted demonstrates necessity to create regional tables of suite of metrics of physical development for ethnic groups of the population.

Gender and social interaction: calculation model of ecological and economic indicators for sustainable development of the region
Authors: Tarasenko D. , Chechel A.
Published: April 2019

The paper proposes a model for calculating the integrated ecological and economic indicator, which has considerable potential for application as a reliable instrument for the expenditures harmonization for environmental and social purposes, namely gender and social interactions, as part of the sustainable development paradigm implementation at the regional level. It has been shown that the use of three-factor functions (factors of industrial development, environmental investments and structural changes in the economy) allows obtaining more relevant results for making managerial decisions by more accurate description of real processes. It has been proved that the social component ought to take into account the gender peculiarities of regional development and be reflected in decision-making procedures of local authorities, namely, the gender components of the region's development have to be reflected in statistical reporting and be subject to the requirements of the Sustainable Development Goals, which are officially approved by the Ukrainian government. Gender interactions have to be the subject to a comprehensive study of region sustainable development based on increasing the social significance of attracting vulnerable strata of the population to active labor and political activities, increasing the efficiency of "social lifts", forming stable equal relations between territorial communities of different levels of economic development and financial capacity. The main task is to find the balance of interests between the needs of certain types of economic activity development in the region, the development of social parameters and the need to preserve the environment. It has been noted that the most effective means of finding this balance is the corresponding economic and mathematical instrumentarium. Moreover, the necessity of such interaction realization on the conditions of balanced support of the national economy functioning in terms of reproductive, technological, activity-specific and external macroeconomic proportions determines the use of the balance-sheet method of "input-output" and balance-based models build upon it. Therefore, the actual issues of scientific and practical support of sustainable development process implementation at the regional level identify the tools for taking into account the influence factors on social policy in the context of the principles introduction of such development. The study of specific cases of the ecological and economic modeling methods use to substantiate effective social policy at the regional level has considerable real possibilities for detailed elaboration, which also results in the use of separate mechanisms of ecological and economic modeling for the needs of effective social policy conduct at the regional level.

The cultural syndrome "individualism-collectivism" and its psychological peculiarities including well-being of regional communities' representatives in Ukraine
Authors: Danyliuk I.V. , Kozytska I.V. , Shykovets S.O.
Published: April 2019

The study of the psychological components of the cultural stratum of Ukrainian mentality in general and of its regional peculiarities is quite important today, taking into account the peculiarities of social processes in the Ukrainian state and the transformation of the modern Ukrainians' consciousness. Particular attention is drawn to the cultural syndromes due to the great applicational value of a detailed study of their features among the representatives of the country's regional communities. It allows to distinguish the key features for depicting the psychological portraits of personalities of the regional communities' representatives.

The results of the study help to systematize knowledge in the quantitative measurements of the cultural syndrome "individualism-collectivism" and to fill the gaps in ethnometric researches in Ukraine. It broadens the understanding of the structure and temporal dynamics of this cultural syndrome, its dependence on such factors as the age, the gender and the religiosity of personality. A practical application of the obtained results may include their use in psychological and pedagogical work, in business and cultural contacts, in interethnic communication, etc.

In general, the results of the study are the basis for expanding the study of the psychological characteristics of the political consciousness of Ukrainians, which we intend to carry out in the future. This study will help to create a strategy for changing the worldview and behavioral patterns of Ukrainian society in order to allow effective counteraction to attempts of manipulations with human rights and personal freedom of people on the basis of their weakness (ignorance of modern features of important aspects of social existence and limited worldview).

Also, the results can be used to help to create, to disseminate and to develop effectively regional projects of non-governmental organizations, international social, psychological and political projects, local self-government bodies, local and regional communities, regional initiatives, etc.
Aristotle (with the help of Plato) against the claim that morality is ‘only by convention’
Authors: Brown Lesley
Published: April 2019

I examine Aristotle's brief remarks in N.E. I.3 to the effect that fine and just things – ta kala and ta dikaia – have much diversity and variation (diaphora kai planē) and hence are thought to be by convention only, not by nature. He rebuts this by remarking that goods (ta agatha) too admit of some variation. I briefly explore the nomos/phusis contrast, and the import of ‘diversity and variation’, with a glance at the issue of how to understand Aristotle's remarks about adultery, theft and murder (N.E. 1107a8ff). In a further discussion of the ‘by convention’ thesis (N.E. 5.7) Aristotle argues that what is changeable (i.e. variable according to circumstance) can still be ‘by nature’, thus rebutting the view that what is by nature must be unvarying. In effect, I argue, Aristotle allows that all just things (e.g. rules of action) vary according to circumstance, but denies that this means they are just ‘by convention only’.

Helpful to understanding Aristotle's brief argument in 1.3 against the ‘by convention only’ thesis is Theaetetus 172ab, reprised at 177cd. At both points Socrates insists that even if just things are held to depend on a city's conventions, no-one would have the face to say the same about what's good, i.e. beneficial. The relation between the fine and the just, on the one hand, and the good in the sense of the beneficial, on the other hand, is the key to how (in their different ways) Plato and Aristotle answer the view that morality is ‘by convention only’. See also Republic VI, 505a and 505d.
The Moving Cause of Artefacts: the role oftechnein metaphysical explanation
Authors: Cameron Margaret
Published: April 2019

The essence of artefacts is typically taken to be their function: they are defined in terms of the goals or aims of the artisans that make them. In this paper, an alternative theory is proposed that emphasizes, via a reconstruction of Aristotle's various comments about the nature of artefacts, the role of the moving, or efficient, cause of artefacts. This account shifts the emphasis to the role played by the investment of expertise into the creation (and subsequent being) of artefacts. It turns out that expertise is prior in being and prior in explanation to the function of artefacts, and thus plays the most fundamental role in the explanation of the ontology of artefacts.

A doctor are obligated to do their duty with his or her ability and responsibility. However, doctor also make mistake because of neglect. The mistake in serving the patient is called medical malpractice. Their mistakes or negligence bring harm to the patient. Example is a case that happened to M S in Medan, North Sumatera. She came to the gynaecologist to treat her disease. Because the mistake of the doctors in surgery, the patient became disable for the rest of her life. The problems in this research is How the relationship between doctor and patient in a medical action according to the civil law? How is the responsibility of the doctors to the patient in medical malpractice action as case?. the writer used juridical normative method. The research done by the writer resulted in doctor and patient relationship in civil law point of view, which is the bonded relationship between medical service as the medical act between the provider of medical services with the receiver. The civil law responsibility of the doctor in case of medical malpractice comes from two basic law they are the responsibility as a doctor and the responsibility against law.

La relevancia de la cultura puertorriqueña en la gerencia de los recursos humanos se encuentra en un momento definitivo debido a la crisis de actitudes y valores en la cultura de trabajo, así como el servicio en las organizaciones en Puerto Rico. Este artículo aborda la entrevista realizada al Dr. Justo Méndez Colón que advierte acerca de los renglones que debe considerar el gerente de recursos humanos en Puerto Rico para el cambio de conducta y la transformación de la cultura de trabajo. En términos más generales, el artículo menciona la definición de cultura, la preeminencia de la cultura puertorriqueña en la gerencia de los recursos humanos, la oportunidad del desarrollo de una conciencia cultural en el lugar de trabajo y la polémica para alcanzar la alineación de la cultura puertorriqueña en las organizaciones

Objective: Urticarial vasculitis is a chronic clinicopathologic entity characterized by clinically characterized urticarial rash, histopathologicallycharacterized by leukocytoclastic vasculitis. The pathogenesis is thought to be developed by a type III hypersensitivity reaction similar toleukocytoclastic vasculitis.Methods: Antihistamines and/or corticosteroids (systemic/local) may be used in patients with limited normocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis.In the literature, severe cases treated with dapsone, colchicine, hydroxychloroquine, pentoxifylline, omalizumab, mycophenolate mofetil, rituximab,cyclosporine, intravenous immunoglobulin, and cyclophosphamide have been reported in the case reports.Results: In this case, the patient, whose symptoms had not previously responded to treatment with antihistamines, steroids, cyclosporine, andomalizumab, responded to treatment with methotrexate.Conclusion: This case report recommends that methotrexate therapy may be a treatment option for cases of resistant urticarial vasculitis.
Soil Water Content and High-Resolution Imagery for Precision Irrigation: Maize Yield
Authors: de Lara Alfonso , Longchamps Louis , Khosla Raj
Published: April 2019

Improvement in water use efficiency of crops is a key component in addressing the increasing global water demand. The time and depth of the soil water monitoring are essential when defining the amount of water to be applied to irrigated crops. Precision irrigation (PI) is a relatively new concept in agriculture, and it provides a vast potential for enhancing water use efficiency, while maintaining or increasing grain yield. Neutron probes (NPs) have consistently been used as a robust and accurate method to estimate soil water content (SWC). Remote sensing derived vegetation indices have been successfully used to estimate variability of Leaf Area Index and biomass, which are related to root water uptake. Crop yield has not been evaluated on a basis of SWC, as explained by NPs in time and at different depths. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the optimal time and depth of SWC and its relationship to maize grain yield (2) to determine if satellite-derived vegetation indices coupled with SWC could further improve the relationship between maize grain yield and SWC. Soil water and remote sensing data were collected throughout the crop season and analyzed. The results from the automated model selection of SWC readings, used to assess maize yield, consistently selected three dates spread around reproductive growth stages for most depths (p value < 0.05). SWC readings at the 90 cm depth had the highest correlation with maize yield, followed closely by the 120 cm. When coupled with remote sensing data, models improved by adding vegetation indices representing the crop health status at V9, right before tasseling. Thus, SWC monitoring at reproductive stages combined with vegetation indices could be a tool for improving maize irrigation management.

The global population is on the path of an increasing trajectory with a simultaneous decline in arable land resources through salinization and desertification that have resulted mainly from climate change and other anthropogenic activities. Rising temperatures will cause changes in the entire ecosystem, resulting in significant alterations in global climate paradigms and a threat to food security. This review focuses on how the highly resilient Chenopodium quinoa Willd. can sustainably mitigate some of the detrimental impacts, such as starvation, and support or provide ecosystem services. In comparison, compared with the traditional staple food crops, quinoa has remarkable tolerance to abiotic stresses and is highly nutritious, with a unique balance and higher amounts of nutrients, and can therefore be an important crop for food security and nutritional adequacy. This crop has the potential to ameliorate global challenges with respect to increase in global population, effects of climate change, desalinization, phytoremediation, satisfying nutrient deficiency, and alleviating poverty.
