Effect of Sustainable Fabric Sourcing on Fashion Brand Reputation in Sweden
Authors: Lindgren Elsa
Published: October 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of sustainable fabric sourcing on fashion brand reputation in Sweden
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Sustainable fabric sourcing has a positive impact on the reputation of fashion brands in Sweden. Brands that prioritize eco-friendly materials and ethical supply chains are increasingly seen as socially responsible, gaining consumer trust and loyalty. This shift reflects growing environmental awareness among Swedish consumers, who value transparency and sustainability in the fashion industry. As a result, brands that adopt sustainable practices often experience enhanced brand image, stronger customer relationships, and increased competitiveness in the market. However, the challenge lies in ensuring consistent implementation of these practices, as consumers are quick to criticize brands for "greenwashing" or failing to meet sustainability standards.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Stakeholder theory, theory of planned behavior & resource-based view (RBV) may be used to anchor future studies on the effect of sustainable fabric sourcing on fashion brand reputation in Sweden. Brands should implement transparent communication strategies that detail their sustainable fabric sourcing practices. Policymakers should create supportive frameworks that incentivize sustainable sourcing practices in the fashion industry.

KSENOFOBIČAN OSJEĆAJ ETNICITETA
Authors: Vlaisavljević Ugo
Published: October 2024

Na samome početku procesa etničkoga grupiranja treba očekivati veoma živo i upečatljivo iskustvo stranosti Drugih. No, ovo prvobitno „kontrastivno iskustvo“ (C. Geertz) na kojemu počiva etnička konstitucija ne podrazumijeva svugdje istu ekspresivnu snagu kontrasta. Ova snaga postaje jasno ustanovljiva u kontrastivnoj analizi etničke razlike između dviju skupina. U nekim slučajevima kontrast može biti itekako snažan i oštar, a u drugim slab i prilično mutan. Snaga kontrasta može se odmjeravati na objektivnim karakteristikama jedne i druge strane, ali i na intenzitetu stranosti. A ovaj drugi parametar trebao bi biti odlučujući kao što nam pokazuju primjeri velike disproporcije između objektivne kulturne razlike i intenziteta stranosti. Vrlo utjecajne istraživače etničkoga i nacionalnoga identiteta, poput M. Webera, W. Connora i A. D. Smitha, upravo je zbog toga privukla, ako ne i fascinirala, etnička razlika između Hrvata i Srba.

Bosanskohercegovačko društvo obilježava jedinstven mozaik etničkih identiteta i multikulturalnost proizišla iz složene povijesti i bogatoga kulturnoga naslijeđa naroda koji žive na tlu Bosne i Hercegovine. Ista obilježja koja čine jedinstven društveni mozaik temelj su dubokih podjela na svim društvenim i političkim razinama koje posljedično onemogućavaju razvoj i napredak države. Istodobno, izrazito nepovoljna demografska kretanja, prije svega negativna prirodna promjena, starenje stanovništva i iseljavanje te, posljedično, smanjenje kontingenta stanovništva u radno sposobnoj i reproduktivnoj dobi determiniraju opći razvoj države te dodatno oblikuju društvenu i gospodarsku sliku zemlje. Analiza vitalno-statističkih podataka za razdoblje nakon posljednjega popisa stanovništva ukazuje na demografsko smanjenje kod svih konstitutivnih naroda. Podatci o prirodnome kretanju stanovništva prema nacionalnoj pripadnosti majke živorođenoga djeteta odnosno nacionalnoj pripadnosti umrle osobe ukazuju na to da je u razdoblju od 2013. do 2022. godine prirodna promjena negativna kod sva tri konstitutivna naroda. Izostanak popisa stanovništva nakon 2013. godine otežava uvid u stanje društva i kreiranje razvojnih planova. Duboke podjele poslijeratnoga bosanskohercegovačkog društva, administrativno-teritorijalna podjela države na dva entiteta i jedan distrikt, politiziranje svih segmenata društvenoga života te izostanak konsenzusa između državnih tijela predstavljaju prepreku organizaciji novoga popisa stanovništva koji je neophodan kao temelj za prepoznavanje potreba i planiranje razvojnih strategija države.

A CRITIQUE OF THE CONSTITUTIONALITY AND CONSTITUTIONALISATION OF THE RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION UNDER THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION
Authors: Ikubanni Oluwaseye Oluwayomi Ikubanni , Alabi Mojeed Olujinmi A. Alabi
Published: October 2024

As the quest for self-determination in Nigeria surges to a record high in recent times, the Nigerian government has repeatedly adopted every means including the use of force to quell the agitations for this right on the basis that it violates the constitution and endangers the territorial integrity of Nigeria. The advocates of this right contend that it is an inalienable right that is recognized under international laws to which Nigeria is a signatory. Therefore, enforceable in Nigeria. This paper examined the constitutionality of the right to self-determination in Nigeria. It found that though the constitution of Nigeria emphasizes the indivisibility and indissolubility of Nigeria, there is a constitutional silence on the right to self-determination. The study found further that the amalgamation of the southern and northern protectorates in 1914, political and economic marginalisation, failure of federalism, and legitimacy question surrounding the 1999 constitution amongst others are factors responsible for the various agitations in the country. Moreso, there is no express affirmation or denial of the right to self-determination under the Nigerian constitution.  The study thus concluded that the Nigerian constitution must take a decisive position on the legality of self-determination agitation in Nigeria instead of leaving the challenge to the judiciary

La sección “Otras voces, otros ámbitos” está dedicada a reseñas de libros en lenguas no habladas en las Américas y en Europa Occidental, es decir, en cualquier lengua de uso corriente en África y Asia, fuera del español, el inglés, el francés, el italiano o el alemán. Tiene un doble objetivo: por un lado, familiarizar a lectores/as de América Latina con debates de historia intelectual en árabe, ruso (para Asia central), chino, japonés u otras lenguas de los mundos académicos africanos y asiáticos; por el otro, sugerir libros para la traducción al español. Con este propósito, nuestra idea es contactar a especialistas de área o investigadores/as locales y solicitarles reseñas de libros que hayan tenido un cierto peso en los medios académicos e intelectuales de cada región. Dado que esos debates tienen sus propias temporalidades, y que los libros más nuevos no son necesariamente los más representativos, se reseñarán libros aparecidos en las últimas dos décadas.
Aunque los desarrollos más recientes en historia intelectual han subrayado la importancia de extender la escala de observación para analizar acontecimientos centrales de la historia moderna y contemporánea, gran parte de esta producción científica no ha logrado estar a la altura de su promesa de desprovincialización. Es cierto que esta producción logró desligar sus objetos de estudio de antiguos reflejos eurocéntricos, y que supo deshacerse de una retórica deductiva en la reconstrucción de los contextos, pero en muchos casos ha quedado prisionera de debates marcados por barreras lingüísticas. Esta sección busca contribuir entonces a reducir esta brecha entre diferentes espacios del debate académico y a acercar la historiografía latinoamericana a los desarrollos del campo en otras regiones del planeta. No se trata de reivindicar el “sur global”, dado que el “norte” forma parte de la ecuación. Se trata simplemente de diseñar un mapa más preciso de la producción científica en el siglo xxi.

Данная работа посвящена изучению вещественного состава окисленных полиметаллических руд и их гравитационной обогатимости. Исследованы три пробы руды и определено, что ценными компонентами в рудах является свинец и серебро. Наиболее сложной пробой является проба №1, т.к. в ней 24,15% (отн.) свинца находится в неизвлекаемой гравитацией и флотацией форме в виде плюмбоярозита. В исследуемых пробах №1 и №2 отмечается довольно высокое содержание первичных шламов (-0,04+0,0 мм), выход которых составил 38,50% проба №1 и 44,70% проба №2. Гравитационное обогащение на отсадочных машинах и концентрационном столе исследованных окисленных проб обеспечивает извлечение крупных свободных зерен церуссита в кондиционный гравитационный концентрат на уровне 44-49%, что будет снижать их переизмельчение перед флотационным обогащением и способствовать повышению общего извлечения свинца

This work is devoted to the study of the material composition of oxidised polymetallic ores and their gravity enrichment. Three ore samples were studied and it was determined that the valuable components in the ores are lead and silver. The most diffi cult sample is sample No.1, because in it 24,15% (relative) of lead is in the form of plumboyarosite, which is not extracted by gravity and fl otation. In the studied samples No.1 and No.2 there is rather high content of primary slimes (-0,04+0,0 mm), the yield of which was 38,50% – sample No.1 and 44,70% – sample No.2. Gravity enrichment on jig washer and concentration table of the studied oxidised samples provides extraction of large free cerussite grains in the conditioned gravity concentrate at the level of 44-49% that will reduce their overgrinding before fl otation enrichment and contribute to increase of total lead recover

Published: October 2024

Segundo o programa Conjunto das Nações Unidas Acerca do HIV/AIDS, em 2020, aproximadamente 38 milhões de pessoas apresentavam infecção pelo HIV, tornando-se relevante sua configuração como um importante problema de saúde pública em todo o mundo, situação na qual torna a detecção e o diagnóstico uma etapa fundamental para a resposta global do HIV/AIDS. Tal fato evidencia três grandes responsabilidades essenciais que devem ser desenvolvidas pelo laboratório de sorologia juntamente a outros laboratórios em relação às infecções pelo HIV, sendo elas (1) detecção precoce e sensível; (2) detecção da carga viral para monitoramento de pessoas infectadas; e (3) teste de suscetibilidade a drogas. Ainda nesse contexto, a detecção da soropositividade do HIV é substancial, principalmente ao alto risco de transmissibilidade no interior do próprio hospital aos profissionais de saúde e, também, aos receptores de hemocomponentes no que tange às doações de sangue voluntária por indivíduos que podem estar infectados e ainda desconhecem a sua condição clínica. Para tanto, o Hemocentro do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu é responsável por aplicar uma triagem sorológica através do ensaio imunoenzimático de micropartículas quimioluminescentes que, quando reagente, segue para a testagem pelo teste Imunoblot Rápido DPP® HIV 1/2 da empresa Bio-Manguinhos que, além da detecção de positividade, também apresenta quais as glicoproteínas (gp160, gp120, gp41, gp36 e p24) estão presentes no organismo dos indivíduos e, por conseguinte, o tipo de HIV (HIV-1 ou HIV-2). Dessa forma, objetivou-se determinar a frequência das glicoproteínas presentes na membrana celular do HIV identificados na rotina do Laboratório de Sorologia. Para tanto, um estudo retrospectivo do resultado sorológico de HIV 1/2 obtido através do Registo de Bancada do teste Imunoblot Rápido DPP® HIV 1/2 Bio-Manguinhos de amostras sorológicas admitidas no HCFMB foi realizado mediante a aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa (CEP), correspondentes aos períodos de janeiro de 2019 a dezembro de 2022. A análise estatística das variáveis foi realizada pelo programa SAS (versão 9.4), considerando o nível de 5% de significância (p<0,05) para a determinação das frequências e prevalências das glicoproteínas. Dessa maneira, observou-se uma maior prevalência dos conjuntos de glicoproteínas GP1 (gp160, 120, 41 e p24) e GP2 (gp160, 120 e 41), assim como amostras não reagentes, resultados esses que promovem maior acometimento do HIV-1 na região estudada.

A Between-Host Cholera Mathematical Model Incorporating Temperature Dependence
Authors: Owade Kennedy Jackob , Okaka Akinyi , Tireito Frankline
Published: October 2024

This paper establishes a between-host cholera model with temperature dependent parameter. This is done using system of ODEs to analyse the effect of temperature change on cholera disease. The model analysis reveals that when R0 < 1, the disease free equilibrium point is locally and globally asymptotically. It is also noticed that if R0 > 1, the endemic equilibrium point is locally and globally asymptotically stable. The sensitivity analysis of model parameters shows that R0 ​depends intensively on infection rate of pathogen α1​ normalized with temperature. An increase in infection rate of pathogen α1​ that is dependent on temperature by 10% would increase R0​ by 10% and decreasing it by 10% reduces R0 by 10%; hence, increasing the temperature of the environment where the pathogen lives would help reduce the rate of infection of the pathogen, thus reducing the reproduction number R0​. We conducted numerical simulation of the model in response to temperature changes, and the results indicate that Vibrio cholerae pathogens multiply faster at 23°C but between 23°C < T ≤ 43°C the pathogen multiplication is hindered, therefore, at 23°C, more pathogens are active to cause infection compared to high temperatures.
REFUGIADOS SÍRIOS NO BRASIL: REVISÃO DA LITERATURA
Authors: Campos Carlos Antonio Massad , Rosa Edinete Maria
Published: October 2024

O artigo realiza uma revisão de literatura sobre refugiados sírios no Brasil. Refugiados são pessoas obrigadas a deixar seu país devido a conflitos armados, violência generalizada e violação massiva dos direitos humanos e em decorrência disto, necessitam de proteção internacional. Buscou-se analisar pesquisas científicas em seus aspectos metodológicos e suas principais contribuições sobre refugiados sírios no Brasil, publicados no período de 2011 a 2023. As bases de dados consultadas foram: Google Scholar, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e Periódicos CAPES. Foram analisados trinta artigos. Os resultados foram organizados em cinco grupos temáticos: 1) As experiências de refúgio do ponto de vista da inserção social. 2) As políticas de acolhimento, legislação e políticas sobre refúgio. 3) O trabalho. 4) A aprendizagem da língua portuguesa. 5) A questão da religião. A partir desta revisão foi possível verificar que embora o Brasil seja considerado um país acolhedor, na maior parte das vezes, observa-se ambiguidade na aceitação do refugiado sírio. Ainda que se tenha a favor a relação histórica de entrada de imigrantes sírios no país, o preconceito e a xenofobia ainda são apresentados como problemas nas relações intergrupais que envolvem este grupo de refugiados.

Nocturnal atmospheric synergistic oxidation reduces the formation of low-volatility organic compounds from biogenic emissions
Authors: Zang Han , Luo Zekun , Li Chenxi , Li Ziyue , Huang Dandan , Zhao Yue
Published: October 2024

Abstract. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are often subject to synergistic oxidation by different oxidants in the atmosphere. However, the exact synergistic-oxidation mechanism of atmospheric VOCs and its role in particle formation remain poorly understood. In particular, the reaction kinetics of the key reactive intermediates, organic peroxy radicals (RO2), during synergistic oxidation is rarely studied. Here, we conducted a combined experimental and kinetic modeling study of the nocturnal synergistic oxidation of α-pinene (the most abundant monoterpene) by O3 and NO3 radicals as well as its influences on the formation of highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) and particles. We find that in the synergistic O3 + NO3 regime, where OH radicals are abundantly formed via decomposition of ozonolysis-derived Criegee intermediates, the production of CxHyOz HOMs is substantially suppressed compared to that in the O3-only regime, mainly because of the depletion of α-pinene RO2 derived from ozonolysis and OH oxidation by those arising from NO3 oxidation via cross reactions. Measurement–model comparisons further reveal that the cross-reaction rate constants of NO3-derived RO2 with O3-derived RO2 are on average 10–100 times larger than those of NO3-derived RO2 with OH-derived RO2. Despite a strong production of organic nitrates in the synergistic-oxidation regime, the substantial decrease in CxHyOz HOM formation leads to a significant reduction in ultralow- and extremely low-volatility organic compounds, which significantly inhibits the formation of new particles. This work provides valuable mechanistic and quantitative insights into the nocturnal synergistic-oxidation chemistry of biogenic emissions and will help to better understand the formation of low-volatility organic compounds and particles in the atmosphere.
Silurian syn- and post-collision granitic magmatism in the western section of the North Qinling Orogen: Implications for collisional orogenic processes

Published: October 2024

Abstract. The Liqiao and Xianping plutons can provide crucial evidence for the collision-orogeny process of the Proto-Tethys Ocean in the western section of the North Qinling Orogen. In this study, we present petrological, zircon U-Pb geochronological, geochemical, and zircon Lu-Hf isotopic data for these plutons. Both the Liqiao and Xianping plutons are characterized as high-K, calc-alkaline, metaluminous to weakly peraluminous granites, with ages of 429 Ma and 421 Ma, respectively. The Liqiao pluton was classified as I-type granite, displaying positive εHf(t) values ranging from -0.1 to +3.4, and high Mg# values from 37.86 to 48.25. We interpret this to indicate that it was generated by the partial melting of juvenile felsic lower crust, with a contribution from mantle-derived material. In contrast, the Xianping pluton exhibited lower Mg# values (20.40 to 35.11) and negative εHf(t) values (-18.0 to -13.9), consistent with the geochemical characteristics of highly fractionated I-type granite. This suggests that the Xianping pluton formed through the partial melting and extensive fractional crystallization of ancient felsic crust. We propose that the Liqiao pluton originated in a syn-collisional setting, while the Xianping pluton formed in a post-collisional environment. Both plutons are products of the collisional orogeny between the Yangtze Block and the North Qinling Orogen, which were associated with the closure of the Wushan-Shangdan Ocean, the northern of the Proto-Tethys Ocean.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. This paper is the first to use two density-based clustering algorithms, Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) and Ordering Points To Identify the Clustering Structure (OPTICS), to screen the historical detection data of pure rotational Raman (PRR) temperature measurement lidar. To address the issues of threshold radius in DBSCAN and output value processing in OPTICS, three automated processing methods suitable for PRR temperature lidar detection data characteristics are proposed. These methods are the k-distance Fast Change Region (k-FCR) Method based on the DBSCAN, the Reachability Distance (RD) Method based on the OPTICS, and the Predecessor Divergence (PD) Method based on the OPTICS. Using these three methods, quality control was conducted on the historical data detected by a PRR temperature lidar from March 2021 to May 2024, demonstrating the effectiveness of these methods in automated quality control of historical data and the complementary nature of their quality control effects. Under the reliable threshold set in this paper, compared with the traditional Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) method, the RD method increased the True Positive Rate (TPR) by 23.7 %, the PD method increased the True Negative Rate (TNR) by 6.0 %, and the k-FCR method increased the TPR by 72.1 % at the cost of some TNR loss. The influence of the SNR of data points and the number of continuous observation profiles on the quality control results is also explored, providing further references for the selection and application of different quality control methods. The methods provided in this paper will allow relevant researchers to filter PRR lidar data of atmospheric temperature according to their own needs, and these methods can also be applied to the automated processing of future atmospheric temperature data from detection networks.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Seismic data inversion for estimating elastic properties is a crucial technique for characterizing reservoir properties post-drilling. The choice of inversion method significantly impacts results. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms enable Bayesian inference, incorporating seismic data uncertainty and expert information via prior distribution. This study compares the performance of four inversion methods—Metropolis-Hastings (MH), Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC), and two Lagrangian Diffusion variants (MALA and Lip-MALA)—in prestack seismic inversion, using synthetic and real-world data from an eastern Venezuelan hydrocarbon reservoir. All four methods show acceptable performance but differ in specific strengths and weaknesses. Gradient-based methods (HMC, MALA, and Lip-MALA) outperform MH in velocity estimation. Density estimation is more challenging; MH and HMC yield unsatisfactory results, whereas MALA and Lip-MALA show promise. Execution time varies significantly: MH and MALA are substantially faster than HMC and Lip-MALA. Therefore, both accuracy and computational efficiency should be considered when choosing a method. The study evaluates the mean values ​​and standard deviations of the subsequent parameters: P-wave (Vp), S-wave velocity (VS) and density (ρ). The quality of the MCMC sample is checked using correlations, objective function plots, seismic trace and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) estimation. Acceptance rate and execution time assessments reveal HMC has the lowest acceptance rate, and MH the shortest execution time. Future research aims to extract additional elastic parameters and reservoir properties, enhancing subsurface understanding. Integrating well log conditioning into the model could improve vertical resolution near wells and align the model with well data at drilling locations.
Correction of Air-Sea Heat Fluxes in the NEMO Ocean General Circulation Model Using Neural Networks
Authors: Storto Andrea , Frolov Sergey , Slivinski Laura , Yang Chunxue
Published: October 2024

Abstract. The atmospheric forcing and the heat exchanges between the ocean and the atmosphere represent one of the major sources of uncertainty for numerical ocean reconstructions and predictions. Air-sea heat fluxes may suffer from inaccuracies in meteorological fields, sea surface variables, and bulk formulations, which have a strongly non-linear dependence on the ocean state. Here, state-dependent errors of the heat fluxes are learned by artificial neural networks (ANN) from a dataset of heat flux correction terms, derived in turn from previous sea surface temperature nudging experiments. The pre-trained model predictors include stationary fields, atmospheric forcing data, ocean state, and stratification indices. Variable importance scores emphasize the dependence of the air-sea heat flux errors on the wind forcing. The pre-trained model of heat flux correction is then used to adaptively correct the fluxes online, in a series of global ocean experiments performed with the NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) ocean general circulation model, augmented with ANN inference capabilities. Results indicate the positive impact of the correction procedure, beyond the training period, e.g., in independent observation-poor and -rich periods, leading to the same dynamical and subsurface signature as in nudging experiments. Prediction experiments also indicate the method's potential for operational forecast applications. The method may also be adopted in coupled long-term reanalyses, long-range predictions, and projections.
Real-Time Visibility Assessment in an Interactive Immersive Virtual Reality Application for Urban Public Space Design

Published: October 2024

Abstract. The design of urban public spaces (UPSs) aims to facilitate users’ physical and mental well-being by facilitating dynamic and stationary activities. The success of a UPS is often measured by its users’ engagement and experiences. However, UPSs frequently exhibit varying usage patterns, with some areas being heavily frequented and others neglected. This discrepancy is often due to users’ perceptions of safety, comfort, and liveliness. Failure to anticipate and address these aspects during the design phase of UPSs can result in dysfunctional urban spaces that fail to meet users’ needs. People experience UPSs primarily through their senses, with vision being the predominant sense and key to spatial cognition in UPSs. Therefore, adequate visibility of the spatial configuration must be integral to UPS design as a design goal. As a result of recent advances in Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) end-users can participate in, interact and experience the possible UPS design scenarios, however, most IVR applications do not provide real-time feedback for design goals such as visibility. Established methods exist for analyzing visibility in UPS. However, these techniques are not usually integrated into VR apps to assess the effects of the designs. This paper addresses the gap for the lack of real-time visibility feedback within IVR applications for UPS design and its technical challenge. Building on a previous IVR application, CoHeSIVE, which was developed for UPS design, we integrated a ray-casting method and Unity’s built-in callbacks for dynamic visibility assessment of the features within the user’s field of view. The visibility assessment is then presented on a dashboard within the IVR app. This study serves as a cornerstone for future real-time feedback mechanisms of visibility assessment within IVR applications for urban design, facilitating informed design decisions.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. China has launched a national 3D mapping program to build 3D Realistic geospatial Landscape Model (3dRGLm) over the whole country, covering both cities and countryside. The 3dRGLM is a digital description and representation of the real 3D geospatial spaces, and is defined as a new generation geospatial data product with 3D structures, realistic scenes, and geospatial entities. Such a national or local 3dRGLm will set up a digital 3D realistic geospatial space which can facilitate the vital connection with the real geospatial space, and will serve as a new generation of geospatial information infrastructure for our society. With the acquisition of complex 3D spatial data continues to advance, managing and utilizing the massive volumes of 3D data to provide spatiotemporal empowerment applications has become a significant technological challenge. This paper analyzes the technical characteristics of 3d realistic geospatial landscape model, and then proposes the main content and basic structure of a 3d realistic geospatial landscape model database, as well as the spatiotemporal service empowerment methods based on the database. Finally, a case analysis is provided to serve as a reference for the construction and application of 3d realistic geospatial landscape.

Authors: Biegel Gregory , Bower Nicholas , Castelnau Will
Published: October 2024

Abstract. Digital Twins as virtual representations of industrial assets are being used to assimilate varied sources of data for improved awareness and decision making in operations and process optimisation. This paper explores the integration of IoT sensors into a spatial digital twin called Fuse that Woodside Energy has been building for the assets it operates. We describe the Fuse platform and its knowledge graph data core that is used to organise and inter-relate data for presentation within 3D visualisations, domain-specific contexts and immersive augmented reality presentations. The key contribution here is the use of a knowledge graph to link diverse data sources so as to contextualise sensor data for actionable insights. One area of significant innovation has been the development and use of new Internet of Things (IoT) devices which have been enabled by advances in sensor technology, connectivity, and cloud computing. These new tailored data sources are complimenting existing plant and resource planning data for improved asset monitoring, predictive maintenance and process automation.
Building a 4D Cell Complex Topology Through the Extrusion Process
Authors: Boguslawski Pawel , Gholami Amin
Published: October 2024

Abstract. This paper is a step forward towards a construction of 4D cell-complex models implemented using a topological data structure, dual half-edge. This allows for explicit representation of spatial relations among objects, such as adjacency relationship, coincidence or order of construction elements, e.g. vertices and edges. A method based on extrusion is proposed. An original 2D model is extruded to 3D, where adjacent cells sharing the same face are directly linked. Then extrusion to 4D is performed. In this case individual 4D cells sharing the same 3D cell are linked together. A model is kept valid at any stage of the construction process and links among cells are automatically provided by the construction operators. Implementation is based on the 4D data structure, which is used at each stage of construction, even in intermediate models of lower dimensionality.

Comparison of the Effect of Structured Lifestyle Changes Versus Verbal Advice Only on Weight and Body Mass Index Among Adult Pre-Hypertensive Patients in a Tertiary Hospital in North Central Nigeria
Authors: D.A Salihu , Y.O Tagurum , S Yohanna
Published: October 2024

Background: Results from several clinical trials show that comprehensive behavioral intervention programs improve lifestyle behaviors and lower weight and BMI. The study was undertaken to determine to compare structured changes in lifestyle measures on weight and BMI with routine verbal advice only among pre-hypertensive adults presenting it the GOPC of JUTH.
Study Design/Setting: The study was a randomized controlled experimental study involving pre-hypertensive adults aged 18 years and above presenting in GOPC of JUTH.
Methods: Participants were consecutively selected and randomized to a control and an intervention group. The intervention group was offered a structured lifestyle modification counseling while routine advice only was offered to the control group. Data was collected about patients’ socio-demographic, medical and lifestyle habits that included dietary and exercise history. Physical examination was done to include height, weight and BMI. Participants were followed up monthly for twelve weeks during which physical examination was routinely carried out and changes in their lifestyle habits reported. The outcome measures were reduction in weight and BMI. The difference in the means of the outcome measures at pre- and post-intervention were determined using paired student t-tests at 95% confidence interval. Data were analyzed on an intention to treat basis. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant in all analyses.
Results: On completing the study, paired t-test analysis revealed that the mean reductions in weight {t(29)4.36, p=0.00} and {t(29)12.34, p=0.00} within the control and intervention groups respectively were statistically significant. Similarly, the mean reductions in BMI {t(29)2.18, p=0.04} and {t(29)6.90, p=0.00} within the control and intervention groups respectively, were statistically significant. However, significant improvement in healthy lifestyle habits were notably more in the intervention group and desirable changes in the mean weight and BMI were more evident among participants of the intervention group after 12 weeks.
Conclusion: Findings from the study showed that individuals with pre-hypertension in either group can make and sustain, during a period of 12 weeks, multiple lifestyle modifications which can significantly control or reduce weight and BMI. Structured changes on lifestyle measures were comparable with verbal advice only among pre-hypertensives in the study setting.
