The Annual Difference: How a Four-Century Debate between Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist Thinkers on a Problem of Classical Exegesis Shaped a Predictive Mathematical Construct
Authors: Morgan Daniel Patrick
Published: January 2024

In China, the precession of the equinoxes was conceptualized as an “annual difference” (suicha 歲差) between the tropical and sidereal year. The idea was introduced in the fourth century, it saw universal acceptance from the eighth century on, and it was in the four centuries in between that it was tried, debated, and spread whilst a Mediterranean-origin concept thereof arrived from India. Its four-century journey from fringe idea to universal truth is a well-studied point of interest in the history of astronomy. In this article, we will shift focus to the idea’s polymathic protagonists and epistemic foundations to explore how a scientific idea was born, debated, transmitted, and taught in Confucian commentary and, no less important, how politics, geography, regional schools, foreign transmission, and the Buddhist and Daoist religions shaped how thinkers engaged with it as individuals and as communities. Inspired by the work of Chen Kanli and Randall Collins, the goal is to show that there is nothing simple or inexorable about how even an empirically useful tool of predictive astronomical modeling is received in the relevant expert community, as it is but one element in a complex network of people and ideas aligning and opposing in ever-evolving strategies to assert relevance.

Authors: Tang Shengxuan , Cai Ming , Xiao Yao
Published: January 2024

Assessing technological advancements is crucial for the formulation of science and technology policies and making well-informed investments in the ever-evolving technology market. However, current assessment methods are predominantly geared towards mature technologies, limiting our capacity for a systematic and quantitative evaluation of emerging technologies. Overcoming this challenge is crucial for accurate technology evaluation across various fields and generations. To address this challenge, we present a novel approach that leverages bibliometrics, specifically paper citation networks, to gauge shifts in the flow of knowledge throughout the technological evolution. This method is capable of discerning a wide array of trends in technology development and serves as a highly effective tool for evaluating technological progress. In this paper, we showcase the accuracy and applicability of this approach by applying it to the realm of mobile communication technology. Furthermore, we provide a comparative analysis of its quantitative results with other conventional assessment methods. The practical significance of our model lies in providing a nuanced understanding of emerging technologies within a specific domain, enabling informed decisions, and fostering strategic planning in technology-oriented fields. In terms of originality and value, this model serves as a comprehensive tool for assessing technological progress, quantifying emerging technologies, facilitating the evaluation of diverse technological trajectories, and efficiently informing technology policy-making processes.
Evaluating the Efficiencies of Logistics Centers with Fuzzy Logic: The Case of Turkey
Authors: Karabacak Ebubekir , Kutlu Hüseyin Ali
Published: January 2024

The primary actor in today’s economic life, forming the backbone of the production-consumption cycle, is the distribution activities. Logistics centers (LCs) are organized areas where these activities are carried out together. Therefore, the efficiency and effectiveness of distribution activities are crucial for sustainability. This study incorporates fuzzy logic theory into the framework of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure the efficiency of LCs. Classical DEA assumes input and output data are precisely measured, making the efficiency scores unreliable and inconsistent when data precision is not always possible. The adoption of fuzzy logic is primarily to overcome possible uncertainties, errors, and ambiguities in data acquisition, preventing incorrect results. Hence, an approach assumes the data lie within specific intervals, was adopted to calculate the efficiencies of LCs based on α-cut levels. Officially obtained data on nine input and one output variable from twelve LCs operating in Turkey were used to calculate efficiency scores. As a result of the study, Köseköy/Izmit, Halkali/Istanbul, and Yenice/Mersin LCs were found to be fully efficient considering both lower and upper bound efficiencies. Moreover, the efficiency calculations using Fuzzy-DEA allowed for a more precise evaluation of LCs with high data sensitivity.

Published: January 2024

Waste incineration is a crucial component of waste management as it is the final stage of circular utilization and the initial phase of disposal. Effective waste management prioritizes energy recovery from waste and substantial waste volume reduction while committing to minimizing air pollutant emissions, particularly nitrogen oxides (NOx). This study involves an in-depth analysis of operational data from 44 incineration facilities in South Korea spanning 5 years, supplemented by empirical measurements from 14 sites. This study aimed to assess three key aspects of these incineration facilities: (1) waste volume reduction characteristics, (2) energy recovery capabilities, and (3) NOx emission reduction performance. We examined how these elements interact within the policy framework governing incinerator management in South Korea. Quantitatively, incinerating 100 tons of municipal waste resulted in a gain of 338.7 m3 in landfill capacity and recovery of 637.5 GJ of energy in the form of heat or electricity. Notably, South Korean incineration facilities significantly extend the lifespan of landfill sites, aligning closely with the objectives of the South Korean Ministry of Environment’s “No More Direct Landfilling of Household Waste Policy”. This positive outcome is further reinforced by the “Incineration Tax Reduction Policy”, which incentivizes active efforts toward energy recovery during incineration. Our study provides decision-makers with valuable insights for achieving a harmonious equilibrium between environmental sustainability and resource utilization, thereby contributing to the continuous improvement of policies aimed at South Korea’s vision of achieving a circular economy.

Published: January 2024

A safety-index-based road safety management system (RSMS) is a tool to help identify locations where safety intervention is needed. To date, various safety indices have been developed and utilized, but it is rare to consider the plan–do–check–act structure in an RSMS when studying the decision-making methodology. In this study, 36 indicators and a system of evaluation indicators were selected based on the major classifications of performance, effect, and improvement. Performance was categorized by safety system components and effect was reflected in the safety status, such as the number of injuries. The indicators were validated, and a classification methodology for safety groups was proposed through cluster analysis. It was found that there was no correlation between the indicators and the population, budget, or road area by administrative district. It was also found that no particular indicators had a significant impact on the overall result in the major category or the overall index. It was determined that the developed indicators were suitable for administrative district-specific safety monitoring. It is expected that these indicators will be continuously utilized and enhanced in the national evaluation of road traffic safety.
Hybrid Intelligence for Marine Biodiversity: Integrating Citizen Science with AI for Enhanced Intertidal Conservation Efforts at Cape Santiago, Taiwan
Authors: Chen Vincent Y. , Lu Day-Jye , Han Yu-San
Published: January 2024

Marine biodiversity underpins the formation of marine protected areas (MPAs), necessitating detailed surveys to account for the dynamic temporal and spatial distribution of species influenced by tidal patterns and microhabitats. The reef rock intertidal zones adjacent to urban centers, such as Taiwan’s Cape Santiago, exhibit significant biodiversity, yet they are increasingly threatened by tourism-related activities. This study introduces an artificial intelligence (AI)-empowered citizen science (CS) approach within the local community to address these challenges. By integrating CS with AI, we establish a hybrid intelligence (HI) system that conducts in situ biological surveys and educational programs focused on reef ecological conservation. This initiative not only facilitates the collective gathering and AI-assisted analysis of critical data but also uses machine-learning outputs to gauge data quality, thus informing subsequent data collection and refinement strategies. The resulting collectivity and iterative enhancement foster a mutual and continuous HI learning environment. Our HI model proves instrumental in fostering community engagement and public involvement in CS endeavors, cultivating the skills necessary for documenting rocky intertidal biodiversity shifts. These efforts are pivotal for informing the design and governance of future MPAs, ensuring their efficacy and sustainability in marine conservation.

Published: January 2024

Faced with the challenges of increasing demand and expanding emissions, China’s mining industry is at a crucial stage of sustainable development. In the context of the new technological revolution and industrial transformation, researching how the digital economy can promote the growth of green total factor productivity (GTFP) in China’s mining industry, particularly against the backdrop of technological diversity, is vital for achieving sustainable development and carbon neutrality goals. This study utilizes the meta-frontier Malmquist–Luenberger (MML) index to analyze the dynamics of GTFP in China’s mining industry under technological heterogeneity. It thoroughly examines the direct and indirect impacts of the digital economy (DE) on GTFP and delves into the underlying mechanisms of these effects using the spatial Durbin model. The empirical results reveal a significant positive relationship between DE and GTFP, particularly pronounced in the areas of technical efficiency and technological catch-up. Notably, this study identifies the mediating role of industrial structural upgrading in linking DE and GTFP. Additionally, the observed spatial spillover effect of DE on local mining GTFP suggests that the influence of DE extends beyond the immediate regions within the mining sector. Based on these findings, the study presents policy recommendations, emphasizing the need to integrate cutting-edge digital technologies in mining to enhance environmental sustainability.
Utilizing a Transdisciplinary (TD) Systems Engineering (SE) Process Model in the Concept Stage: A Case Study to Effectively Understand the Baseline Maturity for a TD SE Learning Program
Authors: Ford LynnDee , Ertas Atila
Published: January 2024

Systems engineering (SE) solves the most complex problems, bringing together societal issues, theoretical engineering, and the transformation of theory into products and services to better humanity and reduce suffering. In industry, the effort to transform theoretical concepts into practical solutions begins with the product life cycle concept stage, where systems engineering estimates and derives technologies, costs, and schedules. It is crucial to have a successful concept stage as today’s industries focus on producing the most capable technologies at an affordable cost and faster time to market than ever before. The research of this paper utilizes a transdisciplinary SE process model in the concept stage to develop and propose training for early-in-career engineers, effectively bridging the gap from university learning to industry practice. With a focus on the concept stage of the product life cycle and the industry’s demands of expeditiously proposing complex technical solutions, the paper aims to create an efficient learning program. The main objective of this research is to create a learning program to bring up-to-speed early-in-career engineers using a transdisciplinary SE process model, with six key components: (1) disciplinary convergence—creating a collective impact; (2) TD collaboration; (3) collective intelligence; (4) TD research integration; (5) TD engineering tools; and (6) analysis and TD assessment. The research will then conclude with a case study piloting the TD learning program and analyzing its effectiveness, ultimately aiming to enhance early-in-career engineers’ skills in proposing technical solutions that meet customer demands and drive business profitability.
Co-Transport of Aniline and TNT with Loess Colloid Particles in Saturated Loess Columns: Mechanism and Processes
Authors: Meng Zhaohui , Hu Sihai , Sun Ran , Meng Chengzhen , Wu Yaoguo , Sun Xiaofeng
Published: January 2024

The transport of mobile colloidal particles with organic pollutants in porous media has attracted considerable attention. Aniline and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), as aromatic compounds and key components of energetic materials, are continuously released into the environment. This study compared the co-transport of loess colloidal particles with aniline and TNT, aiming to investigate the influence of structural and physicochemical properties of the pollutants. The colloids were prepared and characterized, and static adsorption and dynamic column experiments were conducted. The results indicate that the adsorption processes of aniline and TNT both conformed to the quasi-second-order kinetic and the intra-particle diffusion models, with aniline exhibiting higher rate constants than TNT. The main adsorption mechanism involved van der Waals force, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interaction. Response surface experiments indicated that the adsorption capacity increased with higher initial concentration of organic compound but decreased with larger particle size and higher Na+ concentration. In column experiments, the adsorption of loess colloid particles on aniline and TNT was strongly correlated with the concentration of loess colloid particles. Loess colloid particles could be used as carriers to enhance the co-transport, with aniline exhibiting a faster transport rate due to the differences in polarity and molecular structure compared to TNT. In summary, loess colloidal particles enhanced the transport behavior of aniline and TNT in saturated loess columns. The differences in polarity and molecular structure of aniline and TNT further affect their co-transport mechanism in loess.

Published: January 2024

Identifying potential sources of suspended sediment (SS) in headwater catchments is crucial for water quality management. To differentiate these potential SS sources, we investigated the distribution of two fallout radionuclides (FRNs), 137Cs and 210Pbex, using gamma spectrometry along with soil organic matter (SOM) analysis in a headwater catchment with five potential SS sources: cultivated land, non-harvested forest floor, eroded hillslope, harvested forest floor, and stream bank. The 137Cs and 210Pbex concentrations and the SOM content were considerably higher in the harvested forest floor materials than in the other four potential SS source materials. FRN concentrations revealed distinct properties according to the type of potential SS sources. Specifically, the combination of FRNs (with the effect of SOM content removed) associated with the mineral fraction and SOM showed distinguishable differences among the potential SS sources, except for no difference between cultivated land and eroded hillslope. Therefore, SOM and FRNs, or their combination, can be effective indices to differentiate or trace potential SS sources on various land use/land cover types within a catchment. Further field tests will allow the tracing techniques that bind FRNs with SOM to contribute to understanding SS transport from non-point sources within a catchment.
Promising and Environmentally Friendly Removal of Copper, Zinc, Cadmium, and Lead from Wastewater Using Modified Shrimp-Based Chitosan
Authors: Rahman Aminur
Published: January 2024

This study explores the potential of modified shrimp-based chitosan (MSC) as an innovative adsorbent for eliminating heavy metals (HMs) from contaminated water sources. The modifications encompassed various chemical treatments, surface functionalization, and structural optimization to enhance the chitosan’s adsorption capabilities. Comprehensive analyses using FT-IR and SEM-EDS were conducted to evaluate the properties of the chitosan. The adsorption capacity of MSC was assessed using ICP-MS before and after the adsorption process. Moreover, the study investigated the efficiency of HM removal by MSC under different conditions, including variations in pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time. Under neutral pH conditions, the highest adsorption rates of copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead were determined as 99.72%, 84.74%, 91.35%, and 99.92%, respectively, with corresponding adsorption capacities of 20.30 mg/g for copper, 7.50 mg/g for zinc, 15.00 mg/g for cadmium, and 76.34 mg/g for lead. Analysis based on the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models revealed highly significant adsorption of HMs, supported by strong correlation coefficients (r2 > 0.98) obtained from the data. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model with linear coefficients (r2) greater than 0.97 effectively explained the kinetic studies of metal adsorption employing modified shrimp shells. These coefficients indicate a robust fit of the models to the experimental adsorption data for heavy metals. Further confirmation of the effectiveness of the adsorbent was obtained through FT-IR spectroscopy, which confirmed the presence of specific functional groups on the adsorbent, such as N–H joined with –COO−, H–O, C−O−C, and C–H. Additionally, the SEM-EDS analysis detected the presence of elements on the surface of MSC chitosan. The results emphasize that MSC is a highly effective and cost-efficient adsorbent for eliminating Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb from wastewater, making it a promising eco-friendly choice.

Enhancing Security in Cloud-Based VM Migration: A Trust-Centric Hybrid Optimization Approach
Authors: Narayanan Gokul , Kannan Saravanaguru
Published: January 2024

Virtual Machine (VM) migration in cloud computing is essential to accomplishing various resource management goals, such as load balancing, power management, and resource sharing. Ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) is crucial while migrating Virtual Machines (VMs), which means that VMs must run continuously during the procedure. The dynamic nature of resource requirements in cloud computing, driven by "service-on-demand," poses security risks, even while live VM migration mechanisms help to maintain VM availability. This paper addresses changing resource requirements and improves overall system security by introducing a novel method for safe live virtual machine migration. In this paper, a robust optimization approach has been proposed for live virtual machine migration named the Gorilla-based Shuffled Shepherd Optimization Approach (GBSSOA). The proposed approach maximizes the number of fitness targets, such as migration time, QoS parameters, and job runtime. The method takes into account trust values in addition to the previously described performance measures, with a focus on security. Key performance indicators QoS as workload, migration time, trust, and GBSSOA-based secure live virtual machine migration are taken into account during the evaluation. The obtained values of 0.141, 0.654, 342.254 ms, and 0.569, respectively, show noteworthy accomplishments in the results. These results highlight how well the strategy developed may simultaneously improve performance metrics and strengthen the security of live virtual machine migration in dynamic cloud computing environments.
Using ChatGPT to Teach English for Academic Purposes
Authors: Glahn Kaja
Published: January 2024

Much attention has recently been given to the implications, potentials and pitfalls of ChatGPT in higher education. Thus far these discussions have taken a largely theoretical and exploratory perspective on what the strengths and weaknesses of ChatGPT are and how it could be used to either disrupt or enhance teaching and learning in higher education (Gimpel, et al., 2023; Kasneci, et al., 2023; Rudolph et al., 2023). Currently, there are few studies that have provided empirical evidence about the practical implementation of ChatGPT in the classroom, how it is being used and received by students, and its impact on student learning outcomes (Firat, 2023). This paper begins to address this gap by describing the ways in which ChatGPT was used in an English for Academic Purposes class for bachelor students in the Spring Semester of 2023 and assessing how it was received and used by students. Part one of the paper describes the curriculum design and the specific ways in which ChatGPT was incorporated into the syllabus, the learning outcomes, the assessments, and in-class activities. At the end of a semester a set of open-ended reflective questions was used to collect data from the students and gather insights into how students had experienced using ChatGPT in the class, what they saw as its strengths and weaknesses, and how they planned to use it in the future. Part two of the paper therefore uses a thematic analysis approach to consider the reflections of 26 students and identify patterns and themes in the students’ responses. Seven key themes emerged from this analysis which included: generating ideas, improving essay structure, editing, too vague/unreliable, prompting, limiting creativity, and critical thinking. The data suggests that students largely understood both the strengths and weaknesses of ChatGPT as a writing tool, however, they were not able to use it in a way that significantly improved their writing. The ways in which students planned to use ChatGPT in the future varied significantly with the most common plans being to use it to generate new ideas and edit texts. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings.

Unlocking Concert Experiences: Mobile Economy Maximiaztion Bundles Transforming Ticketing Dynamics
Authors: Streidl Derek J.
Published: January 2024

Mobile Economy Maximation Bundles are theoretical all-inclusive bundling packages, curated to out-of-town travelers coming into a specific municipal city for a live music event. The packages include hotel stays, base and premium food options and tickets to the event itself, dynamically priced based on forecasted demand by a demand rate . Bundles would open to public sale at a pre-destined time, but because hotels will be able to buy a select number of tickets ahead of time, they do not need to contend with the general sale, giving them a fixed number of tickets at MSRP prices which can be passed to the customer, and customers would gravitate to hotel providers offering this system over competitors who do not. The structuring of these entertainment bundles is an effort to improve the experience for traveling consumers but also a response to rising scalper prices of concert tickets where, in 2023, in-demand concerts such as the Taylor Swift Era’s Tour, scalper tickets were priced anywhere from 614.29% to 2665.1% higher than their original MSRP price, prompting a critical need to address the rising costs to consumers.

Corpografías sexodisidentes como visibilización de las liminalidades biopolíticas en "Salón de belleza" de Mario Bellatin
Authors: Artigas Carrillo Franco Andrés
Published: January 2024

El propósito del presente artículo es sugerir una lectura de los vínculos que Salón de belleza (2018), texto de Mario Bellatin publicado en 1994, establece entre cuerpo, escritura y sexodisidencia, mediante un análisis de los procedimientos escriturales y las subjetividades no normativas que el texto escenifica. Es así como la estructura fragmentaria de la novela, el encierro irrestricto de los espacios, la ausencia de referencias espaciotemporales específicas y lo que tal elisión sugiere respecto a la gestión de la vida, constituyen elementos escriturales que dialogan con los cuerpos fragmentarios y su desperformatización. Asimismo, este diálogo evidencia las condiciones variables de como opera la biopolítica sobre los sujetos. A partir del análisis, se propone la sexodisidencia del texto de Bellatin como la visibilización de los procedimientos condicionadores del biopoder, en tanto movimiento de desubjetivación localizado entre la muerte simbólica y la muerte biológica de los cuerpos terminales.

La persistencia del Qawmi Suri: Panorámica histórica de un partido árabe transnacional
Authors: Vélez Castro Renato
Published: January 2024

El Qawmi Suri (o Partido Social Nacionalista Sirio) fue fundado en 1932 por el libanés Antón Saade, con la idea de unificar la región que definió como «Siria Natural». El Qawmi fue uno de los primeros partidos ideológicos de la región, y desde el Líbano extendió su influencia a Siria y a la diáspora levantina. Desempeñó un importante rol en la articulación de la diáspora en Sudamérica, con la creación de filiales locales; en el Líbano, participando en insurrecciones, guerras civiles y en la resistencia a la ocupación israelí, y en Siria, donde pasó de ser oposición al Partido Baaz a convertirse en una importante fuerza aliada de Bashar al-Assad en su lucha contra la insurgencia islamista. El presente artículo ofrece una panorámica histórica de este partido árabe transnacional, a través de la revisión de literatura y prensa, así como de entrevistas realizadas a militantes del partido, con objeto de reconstruir su evolución hasta la actualidad, destacando también su importancia dentro de las comunidades sirio-libanesas latinoamericanas, en un ejercicio que vincula estudios árabes con estudios diaspóricos.

Discutiremos a produção de cuidado e conhecimento em encontros que cortam e colocam em primeiro plano corporeidades e afetividades. Na complexidade de caminhos percorridos em um serviço de saúde voltado para a população em situação de rua, o encontro com vidas violadas, sobretudo de mulheres negras, nos interroga e força uma política de escrita que permita o transbordo. A narrativa memorialística constitui, assim, uma ferramenta com função ao mesmo tempo epistemológica, ética e política que nos permite refletir sobre nosso presente, sobre alianças, lutas e insistências da vida, mesmo lá onde ela parece improvável. Apresentamos um ensaio teórico que coloca essas vidas em diálogo com o feminismo negro e interseccional e com a obra de Conceição Evaristo, para pensarmos nossas aproximações com as vidas nas ruas, seja quando buscamos produzir cuidado ou conhecimento. Trazendo para o texto a história de uma moradora da rua-lar, afirmamos a importância da interseccionalidade para análises e relações de cuidado que rompam com estruturas hierárquicas e individualistas ligadas ao patriarcado colonialista que atingem o território urbano, as políticas públicas e as formas de apropriação e inteligibilidade dos espaços e das vidas.

Pengangguran di Indonesia tahun 2022 didominasi oleh pengangguran dengan pendidikan terakhir SMA. Mayoritas lulusan SMA masih menjadi job seeker dibandingkan menjadi job creator. Rendahnya minat lulusan SMA menjadi wirausaha disebabkan oleh pendidikan yang mereka terima di bangku SMA belum memberikan kesiapan mental untuk masuk ke dunia wirausaha.

The work included an analysis of the  primary real estate market in Krakow in 2017‑2020. The above analysis was carried out on the basis of transactions obtained from the official register at the city hall. The results of the research made it possible to observe the changes taking place in the market: the prices grew moderately, and the number of transactions was between 8,000 and 11,000 each year. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of transactions conducted dropped sharply. Despite the reduced interest of potential buyers, prices per square meter of residential space increased significantly during the period under review. Thus, the pandemic only affected the number of transactions and not the average price per unit of space.

Achievements and limitations of community elementary and middle school Chinese language programs through government-academic cooperation: Focusing on the Suncheon area
Authors:   The Society For Chinese Humanities In Korea, f f
Published: January 2024

Recently, as awareness of the need for and importance of university-community linkages has increased, the number of cooperative projects to promote mutual development between the two sides in various directions has increased rapidly. Nevertheless, university-community partnerships in Korea are still far behind their foreign counterparts in terms of diversity and effectiveness due to a lack of awareness, dedicated personnel, and facilities. Traditionally, universities have been responsible for educating human resources. Recently, along with this traditional role, a new role of universities has been emphasized, which is to actively contribute to regional development through cooperation with local communities. This paper is not a hypothesis or program proposal for public-private partnerships, but is based on the author's actual experience of participating in and running a local public-private partnership foreign language program. It provides a process of how local governments and city and provincial school boards can build community-based educational communities through partnerships in which the local government provides administrative and financial support and the university provides educational expertise and infrastructure. By diagnosing the operation status of elementary and secondary Chinese language programs between local universities and local governments, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages, and identifying ways to improve them, we hope to provide meaningful implications for other universities and localities to build university-local foreign language cooperation model programs.
