Authors: Matos Agudo Diego , Rubio Gil Francisco Javier , Nieto Manibardo Enrique , Gómez Sánchez José Carlos
Published: November 2024

Introducción. Las habilidades comunicativas son herramientas clave para los profesionales de la salud. Con este estudio se pretende conocer cómo se está comunicando a nivel clínico e interpersonal en el complejo asistencial salmantino. Metodología. Se planteó la realización de una acción docente durante un periodo de cuatro semanas entre los alumnos de Medicina. En la sesión inicial se revisaron los principales elementos de las habilidades comunicativas en los sistemas de salud. Además, se distribuyó la encuesta de empatía. Se desarrolló también un formulario específico de 16 opciones, que podía usarse para recoger observaciones con un formato más cerrado y anónimo. Se planificó un análisis cualitativo de las observaciones planteadas en el grupo focal, así como un análisis cuantitativo de las observaciones realizadas a través de la encuesta on-line. Resultados y discusión. El principal resultado observado es que una acción formativa específica en los estudiantes puede valer a un tiempo para su aprendizaje en habilidades comunicativas y, además, para aproximarse a la realidad de estas en un centro asistencial. Las particularidades de pacientes y sanitarios hacen que cada proceso asistencial tenga una singularidad propia y que necesiten ser abordados de maneras diferentes.  Conclusiones. La rotación de los estudiantes por los servicios clínicos genera muchas oportunidades formativas. Sumergirse en la asistencia real permite ejercitar el razonamiento clínico, conectar, relacionar y aplicar el conocimiento teórico. Pero es, además, el foro donde empaparse de todas esas habilidades transversales que conforman su faceta profesional, tales como la empatía, la compasión… y todas las habilidades emocionales para la comunicación.

The object of research is the boneless stalk (Bromopsis inermis L.). It is a widespread forage crop of perennial grasses, which is cultivated in almost all soil and climatic zones. The purpose of our research was to assess the adaptability of the samples of boneless seedling in terms of seed yield in a control test in the taiga zone of the Tomsk region of the Russian Federation. The creation of adaptive varieties remains the most affordable means of intensification in crop production. The research area is characterized by extreme climatic and edaphic conditions, which makes it possible to evaluate breeding samples for adaptability. Field experiments are based on the technology generally accepted for the cultivation of perennial grasses in Western Siberia. The selection of perennial grasses in our institution is carried out in accordance with the methodological guidelines of the VIC. The involvement of wild samples in the breeding of perennial grasses allows them to use their high adaptive potential. This article discusses the results of the study of varietal samples in the control nursery of sowing in 2019. The standard was the Langepas variety. In 2021, the conditions turned out to be optimal for the formation of a high seed yield, in 2022 they were unfavorable. To assess the adaptive potential of the samples, a method was used to identify the potential productivity and adaptability of varieties and breeding forms according to the "yield" indicator. The characteristic of plant adaptability to environmental conditions is expressed by adaptive potential. To assess the adaptability of the samples, data for three years with contrasting conditions are presented. The range of variation of the coefficients of adaptability of the studied samples in the conditions of the taiga zone turned out to be quite wide (0.64...1.48). The standard Langepas variety in the conditions of the taiga zone showed an adaptability coefficient of 1.09. Samples with high adaptive potential of SGP-9 and K-14293 were identified. They are used as a starting material in the breeding of the boneless stalk.
THEORETICAL STUDIES OF ELECTRODIFFUSION PROCESSES OCCURRING DURING SINTERING OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

This paper provides an overview of theoretical results on the study of the physical nature of processes occurring during electrocontact sintering of copper-based composite material. The process of manufacturing plows and ploughshares, tractor units, combines and other equipment requires the use of improved anticorrosive and antifriction materials. New materials obtained by powder metallurgy allow to create products with predetermined properties. One of the main operations of powder metallurgy is sintering. The main task of sintering is to increase the strength and density of this material. These goals are achieved by activating diffusion processes that cause homogenization of the porous body, mass transfer and, caused by this, healing of pores, leading to shrinkage of the sintered workpiece. Diffusion is one of the most important processes of substance transfer, occurring both in metals and alloys, and in composite materials. Electric current promotes more intensive movement of atoms, the movement of which is directed in the opposite direction to the direction of movement of vacancies. The ratio of the flow of diffusion atoms under the influence of three factors - concentration, temperature and electric gradients - is derived. The diffusion coefficients of copper at a temperature of 1300°K and during electrocontact sintering are determined. It is established that under the influence of electric current the diffusion coefficient of copper increases by two orders of magnitude.

In this article, the causes of improper functioning of relay protection automation devices of the unified energy system of the Russian Federation over the past 3 years are analyzed and the main solutions to these malfunctions are considered. In the current conditions of economic sanctions against the Russian Federation, a temporary shortage of some protection components appeared in the unified energy system of our country, which led to problems in the maintenance of energy systems. For a long period of time, the Russian industrial automation market has been converted to electronics from companies such as Siemens, Rockwell Automation (Allen Bradley) and Schneider Electric. At the moment, these companies have suspended their activities in the Russian Federation and refused to sell their software in our country. Unfortunately, just as the Russian Federation has created the EU's dependence on our oil and gas industry, so the EU, together with the United States, has created the Russian Federation's dependence on electrical equipment. One of the main problems in the Russian electric power networks is the low reliability of their operation. This is due to the fact that the reliability of overhead lines depends on a large number of different factors, such as extreme climatic loads, wear of supports and lines. Therefore, the efficiency of determining the type of emergency mode of the line and disconnecting or switching consumers to a backup line allows you to increase the reliability of the power supply system by reducing downtime. The electric power system is characterized by normal, emergency, post-emergency and repair modes of operation. The main reason for the transition of the power system from a normal (repair) state to an emergency is a short circuit (short circuit).

Bronchopneumonia in highly productive cows often occurs due to violations of the technology of maintenance and feeding. At the moment, special approaches to the organization of veterinary measures are required to obtain the effectiveness of therapy and, consequently, increase the yield of livestock products. To date, effective methods of prevention and therapy of animals with bronchopneumonia have been developed and put into practice. However, not all farms can purchase medicines that give a high economic effect or the applied therapeutic and preventive measures are not always justified, reducing the profitability of cattle breeding. Therefore, it was necessary to identify clinical and laboratory diagnostics in the work, to determine the comparative effectiveness of two methods of treating cows with bronchopneumonia. The causes of bronchopneumonia were studied according to veterinary reports and on the basis of diagnostic criteria of this disease in the livestock complex "Aristovo" LLC "Kaluga Niva-Vostok" of the Ferzikovsky district of the Kaluga region and at the Department of Therapy and Propaedeutics of the Don State Agrarian University. The diagnosis of this disease was studied in a comparative aspect in healthy (control) and sick (experience) cows according to clinical and laboratory studies (hematological and biochemical parameters). Treatment of cows with bronchopneumonia was carried out in two ways. In the 1st, the following drugs were used: kobactan, flunex and nitamine; in the 2nd: pen-strep 100, flunex and nitamine. The control of treatment before and after was carried out by clinical, hematological and biochemical methods. Comprehensive diagnostics allows us to determine the therapeutic efficacy, which was 100% in both groups. Economic efficiency per 1 rub of costs in the 1st group is 2.9 rubles, in the 2nd group - 4.9 rubles.

The work analyzes the toxicological and biological parameters and assesses the biological value of cattle meat in the disease cysticercosis. The testing of the biotesting method was carried out at the Department of «Microbiology, Virology, Epizootology and Veterinary and Sanitary Expertise» of the Ulyanovsk State Agrarian University. During the post-slaughter study of 15 carcasses and organs of animals, the infestation of beef carcasses with cysticerci ranged from 1 to 3 cysticerci per 40 cm2. This indicated a low intensity of invasion. From 10 to 30 cysticerci is a high intensity of invasion. Control - healthy animals. Pathoanatomic, statistical and biotesting methods were used to carry out the biological value and analysis of toxico-biological parameters of cattle meat with cysticercosis. Tetrahymena pyriformis infusoria culture (strain WH14) was used as a test object. It was found that the low degree of invasion of carcasses and organs by cysticerci does not cause a significant decrease in the biological value of meat compared to meat of healthy animals, and a strong degree of invasion significantly reduces it. The number of surviving infusoria in samples from healthy animals was (35.28 + 0.8) x 104 pieces, in samples from patients with cysticercosis of animals with a weak degree of invasion (34.15 + 0.6) x 104 pieces, animals with a strong degree of invasion was (29.01 + 0.4) x 104. However, in meat samples obtained from healthy animals, a higher motor activity of the infusoria was noted.

The aim of the study was to establish the spectrum of etiology of abortions in sows. The study was conducted in the format of a systematic review of scientific publications, information and analytical reviews and reports, the objects of which were abortions of sows of various etiologies. Information was searched in databases and scientific publications (ProMED, PMC, NCBI, WAHID, OIE Publications, OIE Working Group Wildlife Diseases, Wildlife Disease Association), the main sources are given in the list of references. The economic efficiency of pig farming is ensured by the high genetic potential of pigs, full-fledged feeding and well-being for infectious, invasive and mass non-communicable diseases. It is believed that 25-30 piglets can be obtained from one sow per year for 2.2-2.8 farrowing and thus increase meat production to 3000 kg per year per sow with a feed consumption of no more than 2.8 kg per 1 kg of weight gain. The level of pig reproduction is one of the criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of pig farming. Abortions of pregnant sows are one of the main causes of economic losses in all countries of the world. Abortion of pigs is considered premature termination of pregnancy with subsequent resorption of the embryo (embryonic mortality, or concealed abortion), maceration, mummification of fetuses detained in the uterus or miscarriages expelled from the uterus (dead fetuses). The etiology of sow abortions is diverse, which significantly complicates the identification of the causes of pathology. Abortions can be infectious, mycotoxic, invasive, non-contagious, alimentary and traumatic in nature. Any infection that causes an increase in body temperature during the implantation of an embryo into the uterine wall can lead to embryonic death. According to many researchers, the causes of sow abortions are determined only in 40-50% of cases. It is believed that such indicators are due to a wide variety of etiological agents that cause abortions, stillbirths and the birth of non-viable piglets. Rapid and accurate laboratory diagnosis is crucial for the fight against abortion.

The article provides an analysis of the literature data on the problem of features of pathologies in pigs caused by pestiviruses of ruminants. The study was conducted in the format of a systematic review of scientific publications, information and analytical reviews and reports, the objects of which were economically significant infectious diseases of animals caused by viruses belonging to the genus Pestivirus infecting cattle and small cattle, as well as pigs and wild boars. For a long time it was believed that of the pestiviruses, pigs are susceptible only to the classical swine fever virus. In 1964, natural infection of pigs with bovine diarrhea virus was established in Australia, and the pathogen was isolated in 1973. Subsequently, this pathogen was isolated from samples taken from pigs and wild boars. Infection of pigs with the diarrhea virus has been reported in Argentina, Brazil, Great Britain, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, China, the Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic, South Korea, etc. In a number of countries, swine borderline disease virus has been isolated from samples of pathological material taken from pigs. It is believed that interspecific transmission of pestiviruses of ruminants to pigs can occur during close contacts of pigs with persistently infected ruminants. Feeding pigs processed milk products obtained from cows infected with the diarrhea virus can lead to infection of pigs. Infection of pigs with pestiviruses can occur during immunization with live viral vaccines contaminated with non-cytopathogenic bovine viral diarrhea virus.

The article presents research data obtained as a result of studying the effectiveness of the use of the drug "Coliflox" for the treatment of bronchopneumonia in calves. One of the most common and serious diseases in calves is pneumonia. Clinical practice shows that, despite a very wide arsenal of antibacterial agents, the treatment of this disease is still a very difficult task. The use of new, modified and combined antibiotics and antibacterial agents as part of complex therapy is a solution to overcome the resistance of microorganisms. In this regard, the purpose of our research was to study the effectiveness of the combined antibacterial drug "Coliflox" for the treatment of bronchopneumonia in calves. Scientific and economic experience was conducted in the conditions of MTF No. 1 p/p "Gazyrskoye" JSC Agrocomplex named after N. I. Tkachev of the Krasnodar Territory. Based on the research results, it was found that the scheme using the complex antibacterial drug "Coliflox" is therapeutically and economically more effective than the scheme used at the enterprise (the antibacterial drug Quinocol 5% was used), it allowed to increase the safety of calves and shorten the recovery period. The therapeutic effectiveness of the inclusion of the complex antibacterial drug "Coliflox" in the 2nd therapeutic regimen is confirmed by the normalization of the functions of hematopoietic organs, prevention of inflammatory processes, activation of immune protection and a significant increase in the level of nonspecific resistance of the body of calves.

Published: November 2024

The continuous reliance on petroleum diesel, coupled with growing concerns about environmental degradation, has propelled the exploration of renewable diesel fuel alternatives. This research study delved into the production of giant palm methyl ester through transesterification, employed potassium hydroxide as a catalyst. This alternative fuel was then tested in a single-cylinder, direct injection diesel engine commonly used in Nigeria's agricultural sector, where the demand for sustainable energy solutions is crucial. Pure vegetable oils encounter operational challenges in diesel engines due to their high viscosity, low calorific value, and polyunsaturated nature. Transesterification emerges as a more effective method to modify these properties. Comparisons between the physicochemical parameters of Giant palm methyl ester and convectional diesel fuel revealed significant differences. The calorific value of the produced biodiesel stood at 38,470 MJ/kg, slightly lower than pure diesel's 42.00 MJ/kg. Additionally, the kinematic viscosity of the biodiesel was measured at 10.9 mm2/s. The study also scrutinized engine performance using various biodiesel blends and compared them with conventional diesel. The findings demonstrated the viability of using biodiesel derived from giant palm seed oil in compression ignition engines as a practical alternative to diesel fuel. Lower blends, particularly B5 to B25, adhered closely to ASTM standards, signifying their acceptability. However, as biodiesel concentration increased, both break thermal efficiency and fuel consumption experienced an upward trend. The results showed that the use of biodiesel produced from giant palm seed oil in compression ignition engines is a viable alternative to diesel fuel.
The Effectiveness of Palm Oil Policies in Nigeria: An Experience from Malaysian Palm Oil Policies
Authors: Shehu Sani
Published: November 2024

The tropical forest of West Africa is initially the first area where the oil palm was discovered before the 14th century. In particular, Nigeria was one of the places where this fruit was uncovered. Palm oil is ranked as the major vegetable oil in the world. In the 1960s, Nigeria was rated as the largest palm oil-producing and exporting country globally. However, the production was completely unsuccessful as a result of the government’s failure to formulate good policies, while the local consumption increases. Oil palm production in Malaysia became a contributing sector to the national economy. It alleviates poverty, provides employment, allocates resources, generates incomes, and leads to economic development. Due to good and sustainable palm oil policies in this sector, Malaysia achieved global recognition. This paper’s objective is to disclose the ineffective policies on palm oil in Nigeria and its sustainability in Malaysia. This paper is a qualitative design, it used primary and secondary methods. The primary method is based on a semi-structured interview, while the secondary method is based on documents. It adopted inductive thematic analysis for analysing interview data with the help of Atlas ti. This paper’s finding is the unsuccessful palm oil policies in Nigeria and the sustainable palm oil policies in Malaysia.In conclusion, there is a need for Nigeria, to learn from the Malaysian experience.

Published: November 2024

Indonesia is the largest palm oil supplier in the world with a total production value of 20.97 million tons. Palm oil has a high content of carotenoids that act as antioxidants in the body. However, carotenoids and their derivatives have a conjugated structure that is unstable to oxidation and easily damaged. One of the optimal efforts to maintain the stability of carotenoids is by microencapsulation. This study aims to determine the efficiency of the palm oil microencapsulation method in maintaining the carotenoid components in it. The method used in this research is Systematic Literature Review based on Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Springer databases with predetermined inclusion criteria. The results showed that all palm oil microencapsulation methods produced good efficiency values and stable physicochemical characteristics of carotenoids even including other micronutrients such as vitamin E, moisture content, fatty acids, etc. which were also classified as stable. Overall, the supercritical carbon dioxide (SEDS) method produced the best quality while the spray drying method is a good choice for commercial microencapsulation.   The conclusion of this study is that microencapsulation is able to protect the bioavailability of carotenoids in palm oil in a stable condition with values that are still within the standard range so as to produce better palm oil products as food ingredients for further use in a food product

Published: November 2024

Tulisan ini mengulas mengenai bagaimana kaum Yahudi Madinah merespons pembentukan hukum dalam Islam melalui analisis tafsir Adabi Ijtima’i dalam Surah al-Ma'idah. Artikel ini meneliti interaksi antara teks Al-Quran, konteks sejarah Madinah, dan dinamika sosial-hukum pada masa Nabi Muhammad ﷺ. Fokusnya terutama pada respons kaum Yahudi terhadap hukum-hukum baru yang diwahyukan dalam Al-Quran, seperti hukum makanan halal-haram dan prinsip qisas. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan tafsir Adabi Ijtima’i, penelitian ini memperlihatkan bagaimana hukum-hukum tersebut tidak hanya menanggapi situasi sosial-historis Madinah tetapi juga mempengaruhi dinamika hubungan antara Muslim dan Yahudi. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa sementara ada elemen penerimaan terhadap prinsip-prinsip yang serupa dengan tradisi Yahudi, terdapat juga ketegangan akibat perbedaan fundamental dalam teologi dan hukum. Kemudian surah al-Maidah juga menggambarkan kompleksitas interaksi sosial dan implikasi teoretis dari hukum Islam dalam konteks pluralistik Madinah pada awal Islam.

Danças e canções com influência afro-brasileira em seis comédias musicadas de Martins Penna, encenadas durante o tráfico negreiro ilegal (1838-1846)
Authors: Costa-Lima Neto Luiz de França
Published: November 2024

O artigo analisa seis comédias musicadas de Luiz Carlos Martins Penna, encenadas entre 1838 e 1846, durante o período do tráfico negreiro ilegal, verificando a utilização constante de danças e canções afro-brasileiras ou de origem europeia, apropriadas localmente, nas obras do autor. O texto menciona como essas canções e danças, inicialmente relacionadas ao espaço cênico rural, invadiram a capital imperial e as casas das camadas médias e altas da população, passando a competir, na disputa pelo gosto do público, com as óperas italianas e francesas e a música de concerto europeia. Por meio do teatro musicado, dos “benefícios para uma liberdade”, da imprensa e das tipografias, Martins Penna, Paula Brito, João Caetano e outros indivíduos promoveram a cultura negra, enfrentando, no plano artístico, o tráfico negreiro ilegal e os poderosos contrabandistas portugueses que dominaram o principal teatro da capital imperial na década de 1840.

Published: November 2024

Norway is a global leader in renewable energy, with hydropower accounting for 90% of its electricity generation. The country's hydropower sector is crucial to both national and international energy demands, and the need for efficient management has become more pressing as the world shifts from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful tool for optimizing hydropower management by improving predictive analytics, automating decision-making, and processing real-time data. In Norway, AI is increasingly being used to forecast water flow and manage energy production more effectively, while also enhancing predictive maintenance to minimize downtime and operational costs.

Arts Study and Model Eco-Village Silimalombu Samosir Island North Sumatra
Authors: Simanullang Pernandus
Published: November 2024

Silimalombu Village is one of the areas of Samosir Regency, a residential area with a shift and change of function from green land to construction land, such as new housing. Land that requires reforestation becomes difficult, which turns productive land into unproductive land. In addition, reducing green open space on land construction forces people to optimize their land for productive land. This research examines the eco-village model in the Silimalombu village area as an art management concept to support sustainable village development as one of the eco-village models in the green space village, using qualitative phenomenological research, interpreting objects, and interviews with tourists and residents. The understanding of land use planning is only understood as a horizontal diagram, and land that can be used for production must change the purpose of use and be able to interpret it. Green space is not only realized in the horizontal plane. Still, it can also be used as a vertical space with great flexibility as land that can be transformed into productive land with attractive art management. The art management model is one of several greening programs that can be developed to support environmental (ecological) sustainability and discipline in Silimalombu Village, Samosir Regency

Industrial symbiosis (IS) refers to the integration and optimization of numerous industrial systems and processes and is inspired by the nature. By allowing the exchange of materials, energy, other resources, byproducts or valuable waste among companies, the goal is to increase resource efficiency and decrease potential waste. In this study, the IS relevant concepts and examples from the literature are briefly discussed, and a survey is conducted in Konya organized industrial zone. The primary obstacle faced during the survey study is the companies' reluctance to communicate and share information. The survey explores the current level of knowledge, existing energy efficiency efforts, and organizations' willingness to address the topic if grants and subsidies are available. Following the survey, exchange opportunities from the literature are compiled, considering the sectoral structure of the selected zone. Sectoral pairings are formed to encourage businesses and to demonstrate applicability and symbiosis opportunities. Hence, outcomes show how industrial symbiosis has an impact on energy and resource efficiency and waste reduction within selected industrial zone. In addition, its connection and relationship with government incentives, investments and energy efficiency networks are also discussed. As a result, it has been found that there is significant symbiosis potential in a growing and developing region like the Konya industrial zone, through sectoral matching of companies. By increasing awareness among companies, providing financial and legal support, and assisting them in setting targets, inter-company symbiosis efforts can be facilitated and expanded.

The construction of residential buildings, highways, and dams in the areas under the risk of rockfall constitutes a significant threat to life and property safety. Previously, the easiest solution for rockfall protection was to move the settlements in the regions under rockfall risk to another location although it was expensive. Another method is removing the rocks by hand, machine, or using explosives, since it is dangerous. Nowadays, various rock improvement methods of constructing barriers exist due to the developing technology and facilities. In the study, to resist the rockfall, a case study on analysis of a gabion wall in the Dereköy neighborhood of Bozkır District in Konya was presented. In the preliminary design stage, mapping studies, rock kinematic analyses, and the possible rockfall scenarios in the study area were carried out to determine the current conditions of the land before the construction works. The rockfall analysis shows that the rocks on the slope will reveal energy of 400-500 kJ, and the splash heights may vary between 30-150 cm. As a result of this data, a 420m-length and 3m-height gabion wall was constructed. The gabion wall, which has a 10000-kJ energy damping capacity, eliminates the risk of rockfall for 150 houses in the region. A huge cost-benefit has been achieved by constructing a gabion wall instead of other methods (expropriation of 150 houses or the surface coating with steel mesh) as a precaution against the hazard of rockfall in the study area.

Published: November 2024

In diesel-fueled internal combustion engines (ICEs), a preferred method is to add small amounts of additives to the fuel to reduce the negative impact of harmful exhaust emissions without compromising engine performance. The main reasons for preferring this method are the laws and regulations that are made mandatory and its easy applicability. For example, as the sulphur content of diesel fuels has been drastically reduced by legal regulations, the use of lubricity enhancing in diesel fuel additives has become a necessity. In this study, an experimental study was carried out to increase the performance of the diesel engine and reduce the harmful emission values by adding 10% fusel oil, which is ethanol production residue, to biodiesel produced from domestic waste oils. In order to obtain the desired benefits, different amounts of cetane enhancer n-octadecane and lubricity enhancer diethylenamine were added to the fuel mixture. The effects of n-octadecane and diethyleneamine additives added in equal amounts (500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 ppm) to biodiesel fuel and fusel alcohol mixture (B90F10) on engine performance and emissions were investigated. Engine performance and emission values of these fuel blends were measured between 1400 to 2600 rpm at full load. It was experimentally determined that fusel alcohol can be used as a fuel blend, that the residual material can gain economic value, and a total of 2000 ppm n-octadecane and diethylenamine additive can be added to a mixture of B90F10 by volume at optimum values to reduce harmful exhaust emissions.

In many models calculating solar radiation, a combination of physical measurements and mathematical models is used to achieve results close to reality. In these calculations, the slope values and shading effects in the region being analyzed are often disregarded. Mathematical models such as ArcGIS's Area Solar Radiation (ASR) can calculate shading effects on three-dimensional surfaces. When solar radiation models are computed in three dimensions, accounting for solar rays reflected from the ground, in addition to atmospheric reflections, will increase accuracy.
This study aimed to determine the surface reflectance coefficients that should be added in three-dimensional radiation models. In literature, general assumptions exist for surface reflectance coefficients, which represent very broad average values. However, this study aimed to establish precise albedo values for all land classes and surfaces. An area of approximately 1600 km² located in the mountainous region south of Karaman was chosen as the test area. This area was chosen in Karaman province because, as is known, this region has high solar energy potential. Sentinel 2A satellite images with a spatial resolution of 10 meters were used for both summer and winter seasons through the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. For the summer and winter applications, the albedo value for snowy surfaces was calculated as 0.86, while for light-colored buildings, it was 0.36 for summer and 0.28 for winter. Although examples were provided for some land classes, the study ultimately determined albedo values for all land surfaces without differentiation between classes.
