Objective. The objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the financial resources management of the territorial community of the Kryvyi Rih city in the context of decentralization and to identify the alternative sources of funding for the city development based on the effectiveness of the formation, the use of its budget and tax capacity.

Methods. In preparing the article, general and special methods of scientific research of economic processes are used, in particular, a systematic approach, comparison, grouping, detailing, generalization, methods of statistical analysis, and others.

Results. The possibilities of the formation of an effective budget of the territorial community on the example of the Kryvyi Rih city are investigated. It is determined that the revenues are given a central place in ensuring the financial independence of the territorial community, and the local taxes and fees are the main source of increasing the local budget. The analysis of the state of execution of budget revenues of the city of Kryvyi Rih for 2018–2020 is carried out. It is noted that despite the numerous crisis phenomena, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the city ensured the implementation of the budget by 87.7 % for the period of the 2020 year. It is emphasized that it is impossible to speak about the effectiveness of the formation of the revenue side of the city budget without an analysis of the expenditures, especially in terms of comparing social expenditures and expenditures aimed at ensuring the strategic economic development programs. The analysis of the state of the execution of the budget expenditures in Kryvyi Rih for 2018–2020 allowed the authors to make a conclusion about the social direction of the expenditure policy, which is characterized by a constant increase in the need for the financial resources for the social expenditures and requires the constant growth of the local budget revenues. However, in the context of the general economic instability and the long-term development of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult for the city to compensate for losses and to ensure the effective development. The authors offered a set of the strategically important measures that will help increase revenues to the city’s budget. Among these measures: strengthening the fruitfulness of cooperation with stakeholders in terms of job creation; development of economic platforms to promote the convergence of the interests of participants in the resource system, formed on the model of the interaction between the government and business and the formation of the economic basis of the community development and the joint social responsibility of the government and business for the future of the community; creating a favorable business and investment environment for business development and taxation system culture.

Published: June 2023

The study presents an assessment of the species selection, management technique, and socio-economic benefits of raising private woodlot plantations in Kaligonja upazila, Jhenaidah district of Bangladesh during 2016-2017. A total of 80 woodlot owners were surveyed randomly to assess the status of woodlot plantations. Major growers (55%) were middle-aged (41-55 years) and dominated by males (95%). About 90% of woodlots were rectangular in size and monoculture in species composition (70%) of which about 75% was Swietenia macrophylla. A total of 77.5% of owners has single ownership, whereas about 97.5% of the respondents practice woodlot on their landowner. The majority of the land (85%) was previously used as agricultural landowner. The socioeconomic benefit was timber production, utilization of fallow land, income generation, fuel wood production, etc. The owners manage their woodlots by following traditional and silvicultural techniques. Most of the respondents are conscious and have general knowledge of thinning (80%) and pruning (97.5%). Selection felling systems (60%) and clear felling (40%) were the two types of harvesting systems found in this area. About 90% of respondents fixed the rotation period ranging from 10 to 20 years depending on the species and market value. They still need proper guidance and training to increase their knowledge and efficiency for the maximum productivity of woodlots in the study area.

Published: June 2023

The best-known species of the succulents family Crassulaceae in Bangladesh are Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, Kalanchoe daigremonitnum, Kalanchoe heterophylla, Kalanchoe laciniata and Kalanchoe pinnata during the period January, 2019 to March, 2020. But this is the first time that two new species named K. delagoensis and K. gastonis-bonnieri were reported from Bangladesh in this study.Viviparous plantlets formation along the leaf margin is the remarkable feature of these new two species along with formerly reported species K. pinnata. The abundance of K. pinnata among the five species of this genus was the highest (53%), while K. gastonis-bonnieri was the lowest (3%). The experimented five species were used to treat 9 human ailments named cough and cold, cuts and wounds, stomach disorder, kidney and gall bladder stones, jaundice, high blood pressure, skin burning, headache, and eye pain. The citation frequency of all the species except K. laciniata ranged from 2% to 100% in contrast to any ailment, while K. blossfeldiana and K. pinnata were frequently cited. Alike citation frequency the species K. blossfeldiana and K. pinnata along K. gastonis-bonnieri had the highest fidelity level, but K. delagoensis had the lowest fidelity level among the five species analyzed. Leaf juice and baked leaf are the common modes of administration. The most cited and high-fidelity species K. blossfeldiana and K. pinnata were top-ranked in DMR analysis. These two top-ranked species are under threat for several factors and need conservation strategies.

BARI solar cabinet dryer was tested with the moist radish ( about 9 kg) at Hill Agricultural Research Station (BARI), Khagrachari, during 17-18 February 2020. Drying temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, and solar radiation were recorded. After drying, the final weight of the radish was 554 g (93.84% reduction). The inside air temperature of the drying chamber varied from 45.5 to 52.5°C (first day) and 47.44 to 52.5°C (second day). Air relative humidity in the drying chamber varied from 13.2 to 20.25% (first day) and 11.5 to 18.5% (second day), whereas the relative humidity in the ambient varied from 30.5 to 67.5 % (first day), and 42.3 to 65.3% (second day). Solar radiation varied from 50 to 900 W/m2 during the testing period. Moist radish dried in the dryer attained final moisture content of 9.0% from an initial moisture content of 94% after 11 hours of drying period whereas, it took 56 hours to reduce the moisture content to 12% (wb) of a similar sample in the open sun. In the open sun drying method, 9.0 kg of moist radish was dried to 380 g (95.8% reduction). In the open sun drying method, radish losses by 30% during drying because of fungal spoilage. The color of dried slices in the dryer was more bright and the smell was good compared to sun drying of radish slices. The dryer maintained nutrition and made hygienic and safe products of radish slices. Hilly farmers and small-scale traders would be benefitted from using the BARI solar cabinet dryer.

Blame Shifting: A Unique Phase in Bengali Children’s Meaning Acquisition Process
Authors: Jahan Jennifar
Published: June 2023

‘Blame shifting’ or ‘deflection’ is generally a psychological process where something is passed over to someone else in an attempt to draw attention away. It is a type of defense regarded as emotionally unmannerly. But in this paper, blame shifting has been presented as a positive aspect, representing a general phase that children go through during their first language acquisition period. When children acquire meaning, they shift blame, that starts as a psychological process but linguistically represents the creative use of language in different ways. In this paper, I tried to present the phase of blame shifting of ten participant children as a medium of meaning construction in their first language acquisition process. In an attempt to break the stereotypical assumption of the term ‘blame’, this paper would try to reflect how children shift blame on others as a part of their language development by manipulating language use and cognitive intelligence.

Spectrum of views of the late Professor Amales Tripathi in history, literature, and philosophy
Authors: Bhattacharyya Ananda
Published: June 2023

Amales Tripathi was a brilliant teacher at Presidency College and the University of Calcutta. He was academically associated with the Asiatic Society, Calcutta. Tripathi's study deals with Bengal during a period in which the great Presidency served as the political, financial, and commercial base of the East India Company. Tripathi touches on many aspects of the trade, shipping, and finances of the Company in Bengal. His initial research work was in economic history, and the doctoral thesis was published as Trade and Finance in Bengal Presidency, 1793- 1833. The work remains the standard work on agency houses and private trade under Company rule in Bengal. Professor Tripathi was highly influenced by F. P. Braudel’s monumental work The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II (translated from French into English in 1972-73). Even he was also influenced by Holden Furber’s John Company at Work, the first in-depth analysis of the English East India Company‘s Asian activities between 1783 and 1793 and by C. H. Philips’s The English East India Company 1789-1834(1940) which was based on Namerian philosophy. Professor Tripathi discarded the over simplifying approach and denunciatory tone.

Albanian Civil Code 1929 as Part of the European Family of Civil Law
Authors: Emini Ardian
Published: June 2023

Background: The Civil Code would dictate the affiliation of Albanian civil law to the Romano- Germanic family, finally separating it from Ottoman law. This Code, to this day, preserves its contemporary character, individuality, and integrity, not only because it is based on the idea of protecting basic human rights and freedoms, as well as the democratic model of society that inspired it, which always remain valid, but also that it continues as a working tool for specialists in this field. Undoubtedly, foreign rights, especially French, Italian, and to some extent, German and Swiss, would inspire the Albanian legislator to sanction in its provisions the equality of all citizens, the emancipation of land ownership, and the freedom to engage in economic activities.
Methods: The methodology used during the drafting of this paper is mainly based on Albanian and foreign doctrinal views, focusing in particular on the Italian and European doctrines, due to this doctrine and this legislation being referred to by our legislator at the time of drafting the Civil Code. Also, among the methods used in this paper are the analysis and comparative methods.Results and Conclusions: The acceptance of foreign law in the Civil Code of Zog, more than “a matter of quality”, was a “matter of power”, because foreign rights, especially French and Italian, which found their sanction in this Code, they were rights belonging to the spiritual influence of modern civilization, and above all, to that of the “Italian Renaissance” and the “French Revolution.”

Statistical evaluation ff physical and chemical characteristics of effluent at a university
Authors: Menezes Leda Carolina Carvalho , Turci Luiz Felipe Ramos , Moura Rafael Brito de
Published: June 2023

The aim of this study is to characterize the physic-chemical aspects of the effluent generated at a university campus and statistically analysing how the effluent characteristics are affected by campus activities. Effluent samples were done along one year. Parameters analysed were: COD, total solids, suspended solids, dissolved solids, chloride, pH, ammoniacal nitrogen, conductivity and flow rate of the effluent based on water consumption. Statistical studies were carried out in order to analyse the impacts of campus activities on effluent quality parameters. It was observed that chemical oxygen demand (COD) and dissolved solids vary according to the days of the week, whereas pH, chloride and conductivity do not. However, none of these parameters have statistically different average values throughout the hours of the day. Furthermore, there are no differences between the average pH values of the term and pH of the vacation period; instead, COD, chloride and conductivity have statistically lower average values in the vacation period. Correlation tests have shown that the academic population does not directly influence pH and concentrations of COD, total solids and suspended solids. In addition, it was concluded that the number of served meals can influence effluent characteristics. This work shows that campus effluent has unique characteristics. All data and analysis of this work can support better projects and management of sewage treatment systems in educational institutions. Studies on the broad characterization of university effluents are scarce in the literature. This work aims to complement the literature on this topic.

O conhecimento da epidemiologia do câncer colorretal auxilia no planejamento e implementação de medidas de saúde para controle dessa doença, tão comum na população brasileira. Para tanto, o presente estudo objetivou analisar a tendência temporal das taxas de mortalidade por câncer colorretal no Brasil e em suas regiões geográficas entre os anos de 2000 a 2020. Foram analisados os números de óbitos por neoplasia maligna do cólon (CID-10: C18), da junção retossigmoide (CID-10: C19), do reto (CID-10: C20) e do canal anal (CID-10: C21) disponibilizados no portal oficial do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil para o período, bem como os dados sobre população residente. O padrão temporal e geográfico foi analisado através da taxa de mortalidade padronizada por idade (TMPI) e avaliado em modelo de regressão por pontos de inflexão. Os resultados demonstraram que, independentemente do sexo, a TMPI cresceu em média 1,6% ao ano (AAPC: 1,6; IC95: 0,9-2,3) no Brasil. Também se observou crescimento no Nordeste (AAPC: 4,8; IC95: 4,1-5,5), Norte (AAPC: 4,4; IC95: 3,9-5,0), Centro-Oeste (AAPC: 1,8; IC95: 1,3-2,4) e Sudeste (AAPC: 0,5; IC95: 0,2-0,8). A TMPI da região Sul, independentemente do sexo, permaneceu estável, mas cresceu em média 0,7% ao ano (AAPC: 0,7; IC95 0,3-1,1) na população masculina. A compreensão desses dados pode subsidiar a implementação de medidas de saúde no país para atender às necessidades específicas de cada grupo e região.
Avaliação dos efeitos do transporte rodoviário de produtos entre os locais de produção e o mercado grossista do Waresta: Uma análise do distrito de Rapale, Província de Nampula
Authors: Lumbela Narciso , Vundo Augusto
Published: June 2023

Este estudo analisou como o transporte rodoviário influenciava a venda e disponibilidade de produtos dos agricultores aos comerciantes no distrito de Rapale, província de Nampula. O objectivo do estudo foi de determinar o impacto dos sistemas rodoviários no transporte, produção e comercialização agrícola na região. Estatísticas descritivas e o Sistema de Informação Geográfica foram utilizados para analisar como as condições climáticas sazonais afectaram a quantidade de produtos. Constatou-se que as estradas que levam às aldeias eram mais propensas a inundações durante a estação chuvosa e, portanto, menos produtos eram vendidos. No entanto, em Rapale-sede, ocorreu o contrário, mas mesmo assim a estação chuvosa foi mais cara do que a estação seca, por isso os caminhões/minibuses foram escolhidos como a opção de transporte com melhor custo-benefício para ambos, agricultores e comerciantes. Os mapas elaborados mostraram a distância entre os pontos de colecta de dados, às principais estradas e o mercado grossista de Waresta, bem como as distâncias percorridas pelos agricultores e comerciantes. Concluiu-se que com a melhoria das estradas pode haver aumento da produção e da comercialização.

Published: June 2023

O autismo vem sendo um tema muito abordado ultimamente, principalmente devido ao aumento do número de diagnósticos de autismo infantil confirmados, de acordo com a OMS (Organização Mundial da Saúde) cerca de 2 milhões de brasileiros são autistas. A alimentação dessas crianças deve ser estudada e analisada de forma bem criteriosa, devido às várias restrições alimentares, tanto de textura, cheiro e até mesmo forma do alimento. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se a terapêutica nutricional pode ajudar na sintomatologia das crianças autistas, ou seja, como a alimentação saudável pode ajudar essas crianças. Analisando a influência do glúten, caseína e lactose na dieta de crianças autistas, evidenciando seus resultados para a microbiota intestinal e para o comportamento dos indivíduos. Além de demonstrar como funciona a seletividade alimentar dessas crianças, destacando a importância de uma introdução alimentar para as mesmas. Verificou-se que dietas sem glúten e sem caseína (SGSC), que são conhecidas pela restrição de glúten e caseína, em alguns estudos, são responsáveis por melhora significativa em aspectos sociais, diminuindo a hiperatividade e o déficit de atenção, consequentemente influenciando no aumento considerável de interações sociais e diminuição dos distúrbios alimentares. Por outro lado, houve estudos que não tiveram nenhum tipo de melhora significativa, exaltando a importância de um acompanhamento nutricional por profissionais, evitando assim carências nutricionais. Para este estudo foram utilizados artigos científicos, documentos legais, revistas e cadernos da saúde. Outro método abordado foi também a escolha de artigos dos últimos 10 anos, para que as informações fossem relativamente atualizadas, priorizando artigos em inglês e português.

Published: June 2023

A busca pelo rejuvenescimento é um desejo prevalente na sociedade atual, impulsionado pelo avanço tecnológico na área da saúde, que tem proporcionado o surgimento de novas técnicas para aprimorar a estética. A face, onde as características individuais se expressam, é composta por camadas complexas de tecido, sendo a pele o maior órgão, composto por epiderme, derme e hipoderme. Com o envelhecimento, ocorre a perda de gordura subcutânea e a redução de colágeno dérmico, resultando em sulcos e depressões faciais. Para combater esses efeitos, a utilização de fibrina rica em plaquetas (PRF) tem sido amplamente estudada, oferecendo benefícios para a pele. O PRF possui potencial de regeneração tecidual, é biocompatível e tem custo clínico acessível. Na harmonização orofacial (HOF), o objetivo do PRF é repor ou regular a atividade celular responsável pela remodelação da pele, revertendo os efeitos do envelhecimento da derme. Sua composição autóloga, rica em fatores de crescimento e proteínas plasmáticas, proporciona uma abordagem natural e eficaz. Além disso, o PRF libera fatores de crescimento de forma prolongada, potencializando os efeitos regenerativos e a cicatrização acelerada. Sua aplicação por profissionais qualificados, utilizando técnicas específicas, tem demonstrado resultados positivos na redução de rugas, linhas de expressão e melhora geral da pele. O PRF apresenta vantagens em relação a outras abordagens, como o PRP, incluindo custo reduzido e menor risco de reações imunogênicas e transmissão de doenças. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste artigo é realizar uma revisão narrativa da literatura sobre a aplicação do PRF na HOF.

Introdução: O Toxoplasma gondii é o causador da patologia denominada de Toxoplasmose. A transmissão da Toxoplasmose ocorre após a ingestão de oocistos esporulados que foram liberados no ambiente através das fezes de gatos contaminados, nos cistos teciduais presentes em alimentos malcozidos, que foram contaminadas e na transmissão vertical (TV) através da transmissão transplacentária denominada toxoplasmose congênita. Objetivo: Identificar os principais fatores relacionados com a suscetibilidade e transmissibilidade da toxoplasmose em gestantes. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática. Resultados: Através da leitura dos 10 artigos selecionados, observou-se que as gestantes até o terceiro trimestres estão susceptíveis a infecção por toxoplasmose. Essa infecção pode ser adquirida através dos seguintes fatores: água contaminada por falta de um sistema de saneamento básico, consumo de carnes cruas ou malpassadas, contato com areia de animais infectados. Os fatores estão ligados as zonas das cidades, cada região possui uma característica demográfica para o aumento de infecção por toxoplasmose. Além desses fatores citados acima, observou-se que o fator climático (tropical) é um dos que também contribuem para a infecção por toxoplasmose. Esse fato deve-se de números maiores de eclosão dos cistos de toxoplasmose quando o clima está mais quente. Conclusão: As mulheres em período gestacional estão mais susceptíveis a diversos tipos de infecção. A idade de gestante, o período gestacional (sendo o 3º trimestre o mais propício a infecção), fatores culturais, contribuem para a infecção por toxoplasmose. O clima tropical, quente e úmido favorece a eclosão de oocistos do Toxoplasma gondii.

Published: June 2023

Video from cameras fitted to Hawaiian monk seals showed that seals visited patches of loose mesophotic seafloor rock to flip them and obtain the prey hiding underneath. Diver surveys of rock patches documented 38 species of fish and invertebrates and found 38% of the larger diameter rocks (10-100 cm) flipped with the encrusted live coral and algae side left face down. We developed a set of ‘electric rocks’ (artificial rocks fitted with event loggers) to record the date and time of any movement. We deployed the rocks in multiple clusters on the terraced slope of the seal colony atoll (French Frigate Shoals) close to the beach haulout and at 2 sites further away on the summits of neighboring banks. The goal was to expand temporal monitoring (diurnally and seasonally) of the seal’s use of mesophotic rubble patches without requiring further instrumentation of monk seals. The data from the electric rocks showed patterns consistent with the behavior seen from the seal-mounted video, including rapid rock-to-rock searching and more movements closer to seal haulouts. The electric rocks detected more rock tips on the atoll terrace than on the banks, with higher counts seen during the day at the bank summits. Seasonally, both the terrace and bank detected more movements in summer and fall months consistent with the monk seal’s reproductive pupping and molting season than during the rest of the year, suggesting some seasonal change in the foraging habitat of monk seals.
Role of determining trabecular bone score for appointment of osteoporotic therapy (clinical case)
Authors: Kozyreva M. V. , Toroptsova N. V.
Published: June 2023

Numerous studies have shown that the trabecular bone score (TBS) in patients with rheumatic diseases and especially in persons receiving glucocorticoids predicts fractures better than the bone mineral density (BMD) of the spine or the value of a 10-year probability of osteoporotic fracture according to the FRAX calculator. This article describes the role of TBS in determining the indications for prescribing anti-osteoporotic treatment on the example of a clinical case of a postmenopausal woman with a conﬁrmed diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and a slight decrease in BMD.

Authors: Cheremushkina E. V. , Eliseev M. S. , Severinova M. V. , Zhelyabina O. V.
Published: June 2023

Gout is one of the most common rheumatic diseases, the peculiarity of which is the development in conditions of prolonged hyperuricemia (HU). The rapid increase in the incidence of gout with a slight increase in the prevalence of HU actualizes the issue of diagnosing gout at the preclinical stage.

Objective. To determine the frequency of ultrasound signs of urate crystal deposition in patients with asymptomatic HU (AHU) and gout.

Results. 112 patients with AHU and gout were included, the mean age in both groups was 49.7 years. Ultrasound signs of deposition of sodium monourate crystals (SMC) among patients with AHU were determined in 21.1% of the patient by ultrasound of the knee joints and 17.5% of patients by ultrasound of the feet. Patients with gout showed the same US features in 38.1% and 56.3% of cases, respectively. There is a strong correlation between the detection of SMC by ultrasound and a history of arthritis attack of the respective joints.

Conclusions. The detection of SMC and concomitant HU is very common among patients with AHU, which can be considered the preclinical stage of gout.

Encuentros Nacionales de Líderes Migrantes: espacios de gestación y consolidación de liderazgos africanos en Argentina
Authors: Voscoboinik Sonia Raquel , Mercedes Maffia Marta
Published: June 2023

This article analyzes the leadership construction of three African migrants, one of Congolese origin and two Senegalese, in the National Meetings of Migrant Leaders (ENLM, for its acronym in Spanish) in Argentina from 2014-2020. For this purpose, participant observations and interviews with varying degrees of depth have been used. The research results indicate that the three migrant leaders have had very heterogeneous roles within the meetings. Their leadership trajectories show unique ways of building legitimacy and visibility and are supported by a differential accumulation of social and political capital. Some contributions of this article are: (a) reconstruct the complexity and diversity of their trajectories, (b) make African migrant leaders’ role visible as human rights promoters, and (c) construct a non-criminalizing view of their political forms of organization.
Estética Ambiental, Artes e Espaços Públicos
Authors: Wagner Christiane
Published: June 2023

Este artigo discute a apreciação estética urbana mediante espaços naturais e artificiais. Enquanto outras abordagens procuram discutir o objeto da estética, o belo artístico e sua relação com a beleza natural, ou uma apreciação estética da natureza, sem necessariamente o objeto artístico, este artigo busca uma reflexão sobre a arte e a realidade natural e urbana por meio de uma revisão da estética continental, relacionando aspectos contemporâneos da estética ambiental e neurociência. Assim, este artigo visa legitimar um entendimento não necessariamente cronológico, mas atual, envolvendo a mudança climática e o conceito de Antropoceno. Com uma síntese entre apreciação artística e natural, discutem-se os efeitos e ressonâncias estéticas do cotidiano urbano e natural na formação da consciência coletiva, pela qual a arte se torna referência para resoluções ambientais. Como conclusão, afirma-se que a arte não significa a realidade, mas que a experiência estética é a realidade dos ambientes urbano e natural.
O Plano Cinematográfico como Espelho Intermidiático da Pintura nos Filmes o Poderoso Chefão, II e III (1974 E 1990), de Francis Ford Coppola

Published: June 2023

No contexto dos estudos da intermidialidade, a seguinte análise pauta-se na hipótese de que alguns frames fílmicos são espelhos intermidiáticos de determinadas pinturas por conta da semelhança visual entre obras pictóricas e cinematográficas. Tem-se como corpus os filmes O poderoso chefão II e III (1974 e 1990) de Francis Ford Coppola e as pinturas A última ceia (1594) de Tintoretto, Medusa (1595) de Caravaggio e A morte de Marat (1793) de Jacques Louis David. Este artigo pretende analisar o contexto narrativo das cenas às quais os frames pertencem, quais elementos visuais os aproximam de determinadas pinturas, bem como a história por trás de cada pintura e averiguar se o propósito da narrativa cinematográfica se aproxima ao propósito narrativo das mencionadas pinturas. Para tanto, em termos teóricos, utiliza-se, especialmente O poder da Arte (2010), de Simon Schama, no qual o autor analisa vida e obra de renomados pintores, como Caravaggio e David, O olho interminável: pintura e cinema (2004), de Jacques Aumont e O termo intermidialidade como ebulição (2015), de Irina Rajewski.
Solving the capacitated vehicle routing problem with time windows via graph convolutional network assisted tree search and quantum-inspired computing
Authors: Dornemann Jorin
Published: June 2023

Vehicle routing problems are a class of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems which attract a lot of attention, as they have many practical applications. In recent years there have been new developments solving vehicle routing problems with the help of machine learning, since learning how to automatically solve optimization problems has the potential to provide a big leap in optimization technology. Prior work on solving vehicle routing problems using machine learning has mainly focused on auto-regressive models, which are connected to high computational costs when combined with classical exact search methods as the model has to be evaluated in every search step. This paper proposes a new method for approximately solving the capacitated vehicle routing problem with time windows (CVRPTW) via a supervised deep learning-based approach in a non-autoregressive manner. The model uses a deep neural network to assist finding solutions by providing a probability distribution which is used to guide a tree search, resulting in a machine learning assisted heuristic. The model is built upon a new neural network architecture, called graph convolutional network, which is particularly suited for deep learning tasks. Furthermore, a new formulation for the CVRPTW in form of a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem is presented and solved via quantum-inspired computing in cooperation with Fujitsu, where a learned problem reduction based upon the proposed neural network is applied to circumvent limitations concerning the usage of quantum computing for large problem instances. Computational results show that the proposed models perform very well on small and medium sized instances compared to state-of-the-art solution methods in terms of computational costs and solution quality, and outperform commercial solvers for large instances.
Developing software to assess the seismic risk of natural gas infrastructure: OpenSRA

Published: June 2023

As part of a multi-year study, the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) center in conjunction with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), the NHERI SimCenter at Berkeley, Slate Geotechnical Consultants (Slate), and several subcontractors, developed an open-source seismic risk analysis (OpenSRA) program that implements the performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) risk framework using a user-friendly interface, capable of operating on a desktop computer. This effort is made up of two elements: 1) research of seismic demand and capacity models, laboratory testing, and finite element modeling, and 2) implementing these findings into a backend calculation program with an easy-to-use interface. The NHERI SimCenter, Slate Geotechnical Consultants, and PEER researchers developed an integrative method to create an efficient code with a useful interface.OpenSRAimplements and updates current models addressing different forms of seismically induced ground deformation (e.g., fault rupture, liquefaction, and landslide) as well as ground shaking. It quantifies resistance to deformation in buried pipelines, well heads, caprocks, and aboveground components, and then provides a framework for estimating the uncertainty in both the models and parameters. The software allows the end-user to utilize these models according to the resolution of the available data (i.e., state-wide, regional, or site-specific). The interface provides a visualization of the inputs (e.g., ground motion, and liquefaction potential) and outputs (risk of leaks/breaks) overlaid on different maps of California.OpenSRAprovides the industry with updated seismic demand and capacity models, an efficient calculation method, and user-friendly software.OpenSRAenables end-users to estimate the risk of seismic damage to their infrastructure. Using risk-informed decisions enables utility owners to proactively and cost-effectively maintain infrastructure.
