Non-Equilibrium Uranium as an Indicator of Global Climate Variations—The World Ocean and Large Lakes
Authors: Tokarev Igor , Yakovlev Evgeny
Published: December 2021

In natural water, as a rule, there is a violation of radioactive equilibrium in the chain 238U … → 234U → 230Th →. Groundwater usually has a 234U/238U ratio in the range of 0.8–3.0 (by activity). However, in some regions, the 234U/238U ratio reaches >10 and up to 50. Ultrahigh excesses of 234U can be explained by climatic variations. During a cold period, minerals accumulate 234U as a normal component of the radioactive chain, and after the melting of permafrost, it is lost from the mineral lattice faster than 238U due to its higher geochemical mobility. This hypothesis was tested using data on the isotopic composition of uranium in the chemo- and bio-genic formations of the World Ocean and large lakes, which are reservoirs that accumulate continental runoff. The World Ocean has the most significant 234U enrichments in the polar and inland seas during periods of climatic warming in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. In the bottom sediments of Lake Baikal, the 234U/238U ratio also increases during warm periods and significantly exceeds the 234U excess of the World Ocean. Furthermore, the 234U/238U ratio in the water of Lake Baikal and its tributaries increases from north to south following a decrease in the area of the continuous permafrost and has a seasonal variation with a maximum 234U/238U ratio in summer. The behavior of 234U in large water reservoirs is consistent with the hypothesis about the decisive influence of permafrost degradation on the anomalies in 234U/238U ratios in groundwater.
Hydraulic Numerical Simulations of La Sabana River Floodplain, Mexico, as a Tool for a Flood Terrain Response Analysis
Authors: Bonasia Rosanna , Ceragene Mackendy
Published: December 2021

The floodplain of La Sabana River, Guerrero State, Mexico, was subject to disastrous floods due to the passage of extreme weather phenomena. This is a situation facing many ungauged rivers in Mexico, as well as in other developing countries, where increased urbanization and a lack of monitoring systems make many inhabited areas more vulnerable to flooding. The purpose of this work is to provide a tool for determining the flood terrain response to flooding based on a hydraulic study. This methodology combines a hydrological analysis of the river basin with the floodplain hydraulic study for the precise identification of overflow points and the resulting flood levels. Results show that, for an ungauged river, hydraulic analysis is an essential tool for determining the main potential flood points and establishing whether the river has the capacity to contain floods. Specifically, it is shown that La Sabana River is predisposed to overflow long before the river reaches its maximum flow, even in correspondence with more frequent flood scenarios. This study shows a further application that a hydraulic model can have to improve flood risk preparedness for ungauged rivers of regions where other types of monitoring tools cannot be used.

Published: December 2021

Analyzing the hydrochemical composition in thermal springs is an advantageous method for studying the coupling mechanism of the deep and shallow fluids in active fault zones. Here we conducted sampling in 30 thermal springs near fault zones in Fujian Province, and the major elements, trace elements, silica, stable isotopes (δD and δ18O) and strontium isotopes were tested in the laboratory. The results show that (1) the thermal springs in the study area can be divided into six types according to the content of the major elements: HCO3-Na, HCO3·SO4-Na, Cl·HCO3-Na, Cl-Na, Cl-Na·Ca and HCO3·SO4-Ca; (2) hydrogen and oxygen isotopes indicate that precipitation is the main source of recharge for thermal springs in the study area, and the recharge height is between 258 m and 1859 m; (3) the content of SiO2 in the thermal spring varies from 18.1 mg/L to 59.3 mg/L. The geothermal reservoir temperature calculated is 90~226 °C, and the circulation depth is 2.9~5.4 km, except for the W10 thermal spring, whose circulation depth is 8.4 km; and (4) the 87Sr/86Sr of the thermal springs in southwestern Fujian and eastern Fujian has obviously different characteristics, indicating the influence of different rock formations on the groundwater cycle process. Additionally, a continuous measurement of the main anions and cations was performed in five thermal springs every three days since January 2020. There were obvious abnormal changes in the hydrochemical compositions, chlorine in four of the five springs, sodium at three springs, and four ions at one spring, which all showed abnormal high-value changes by 15% to 80%, and which occurred 85~168 days prior to the M6.1 earthquake in Hualien, Taiwan. An inspiration could be provided for obtaining effective earthquake precursor anomalies by monitoring the change in ion concentration in thermal springs.
Putting the “Beaver” Back in Beverley Brook: Rapid Shifts in Community Composition following the Restoration of a Degraded Urban River
Authors: Perkins Daniel M. , Hull Toby , Bubb Niamh , Cunningham Alex , Glackin Rory , Glen Thomas , Smith Stacey , Davies Bella
Published: December 2021

Widespread habitat degradation has caused dramatic declines in aquatic biodiversity. Reconfiguring channels and adding physical structures to rivers has become common practice in order to reinstate natural processes and restore biodiversity. However, the effectiveness of such measures is often questioned, especially in urban settings where overriding factors (e.g., water quality) might constrain biotic responses to increased habitat heterogeneity. We monitored invertebrate and fish communities before and up to five years after extensive restoration of Beverley Brook, a small, urban river flowing through a Royal Park in London, UK. Total invertebrate density was 5–148% higher with restoration across the monitoring period, and there was an increase in evenness but not invertebrate richness. Riverflies (Ephmemeroptera and Trichoptera) and crustaceans (Amphipoda, Asellidae) showed marked increases in density with restoration, suggesting improved flow, enhanced water quality, and greater quantity of basal resources. Fish biomass increased by 282% with restoration as did fish richness and the average body mass of three common fish species. Our results provide evidence for the effectiveness of common restoration methods in increasing standing stocks across trophic levels, from basal resources to apex predators. However, we primarily observed changes in the density of existing taxa rather than the development of novel assemblages, suggesting that large-scale factors, such as water quality and the lack of adequate source populations, might be important for understanding changes in biodiversity following river restoration.

Formulas are applied to calculate the minimum number of intersections that are generated in a set of consecutive . Likewise, to obtain the weak Goldbach conjecture, the aforementioned graph can be used, and combinatorial formulas are used. This method serves to identify the range of affectation that a prime element has in the sequence of the natural numbers, and to model a continuous line, which reveals a graph similar to what is known as Goldbach's comet.

Control de Variables Asociadas con la Calidad en el Proceso de Corrugado Mediante el Uso de Gráficos de Control Multivariante
Authors: Vargas Ortiz Oscar Gonzalo , Márquez Víctor
Published: December 2021

El propósito de esta investigación es estudiar el proceso de producción de cartón corrugado en la empresa Productora Cartonera S. A. (PROCARSA). Para ello se evaluó el comportamiento de las variables de calidad resistencia al aplastamiento de borde (ECT) y Separación de espiga (PAT). Posterior al análisis descriptivo, a cada variable de calidad se le ajustó un diseño factorial, considerando como factores a evaluar Operador, Flauta, Liner (Papel externo del cartón) y Empaque. Se determinó que estos factores influyen de manera significativa sobre las variables de calidad. Para el caso de la variable ECT, todos los componentes del modelo resultan significativos, mientras que para la variable PAT, solo resultan significativos los efectos principales, algunas interacciones de orden dos y la interacción de orden cuatro. Se evaluó la correlación entre las variables de calidad, resultado estadísticamente significativa, lo que llevó a descartar el uso de gráficos de control univariantes para monitorear el proceso. Luego, se construyó un gráfico de control multivariante para determinar si el proceso está trabajando bajo control. En la fase 1 se presentó una señal fuera de control. Finalmente, se eliminó el punto fuera de control y se obtuvieron los límites finales de control. Estos límites se usarán en adelante para evaluar y monitorear el proceso.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the corrugated cardboard production process in the company Producer Carton S.A, PROCARSA. For this, the behavior of the quality variables resistance to edge crushing (ECT) and separation of dowel (PAT) was evaluated. After the descriptive analysis, a factorial design was adjusted to each quality variable, considering Operator, Flute, Liner, and Packaging as factors to be evaluated. It was determined that these factors have a significant influence on the quality variables. For the case of the ECT variable, all the components of the model are significant, while for the PAT variable, only the main effects, some interactions of order two, and the interaction of order four are significant. The correlation between the quality variables was evaluated, the result statistically significant, which led to discarding the use of univariate control charts to monitor the process. Then, a multivariate control chart was constructed to determine if the process is working under control. In phase 1 there was a signal out of control. Finally, the out-of-control point was eliminated and the final limits of control were obtained. These limits will be used from now on to evaluate and monitor the process.

Exploration of sedentary behaviour among GPs: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Mayne Richard S , Hart Nigel D , Tully Mark A , Wilson Jason J , Brønd Jan C , Heron Neil
Published: December 2021

Background

Sedentary behaviour, which may have increased among GPs due to increasing use of telemedicine, is associated with many illnesses and increased all-cause mortality.

Aim

To explore levels of sedentary behaviour among GPs and General Practice Specialty Trainees (GPSTs).

Design & setting

Sequential, cross-sectional design (initial online sedentary behaviour questionnaire and subsequent thigh-worn accelerometer substudy) of GPs and GPSTs in Northern Ireland.

Method

Self-reported questionnaire data were aggregated and compared with device-measured accelerometry data.

Results

Data from 353 participants (17.7% of GPs and GPSTs in Northern Ireland) revealed doctors in general practice self-reported higher workday sedentary time (10.33 hours, SD 2.97) than those in secondary care (7.9 hours, SD 3.43 [mean difference {MD} 2.43 hours;P<0.001]). An active workstation (for example, sit-stand desk), was used by 5.6% of participants in general practice, while 86.0% of those without one would consider using one in future. Active workstation users self-reported lower workday sedentary time (7.88 hours, SD 3.2) than non-users (10.47 hours, SD 2.88 [MD –2.58 hours,P= 0.001]). Accelerometer substudy participants underestimated their workday sedentary time by 0.17 hours (95% confidence interval [CI] = –1.86 to 2.20;P= 0.865), and non-workday sedentary time by 2.67 hours (95% CI = 0.99 to 4.35;P= 0.003). Most GPs (80.7%) reported increased workday sitting time compared to prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, while 87.0% would prefer less workday sitting time.

Conclusion

GPs have high levels of workday sedentary time, which may be detrimental to their health. It is imperative to develop methods to address sedentary behaviour among GPs on workdays, both for their own health and the health of their patients.
Expanding Reach of Extension Programming Through Partnerships with State Park Naturalists
Authors: Koetz Rebecca , Bullock Veronica , Burgmeier Nicholas , Manuel Angie , Williams Rod
Published: December 2021

Partnerships between natural resources agencies and Extension have existed for years and Extension has served in many roles. These roles include writing grants, facilitating meetings, training, and designing collaborative programming. Herein, we highlight a partnership between Purdue Extension and the Indiana Division of State Parks (IDSP) where Purdue Extension used an existing partnership to create programming about eastern hellbenders in a format presentable by interpretive naturalists, Extension educators, and K-12 teachers. The program increased pre/post knowledge gain scores for attendees by 129.27%. This model has successfully expanded Purdue Extension’s outreach efforts while satisfying a need expressed by IDSP. Forming reciprocal partnerships with nontraditional partners can have a tremendous positive impact on the success of outreach and education efforts.
Farmers Markets and Single-Use Plastic: Why Environmentally Conscious Consumers Don’t Bring Reusable Bags
Authors: Hardy Scott , Bartolotta Jill
Published: December 2021

This study looks at the role of Extension in helping local officials reduce plastic bag use at farmers markets in three Lake County, OH communities. We distributed free reusable bags to shoppers and conducted an education and outreach program. We then took observations to determine if the free reusable bags were being used. We also invited shoppers to take a voluntary survey about their environmental attitudes, why or why not they use the reusable bags, and how best to reduce plastic bag use moving forward. Results from the study suggest that supplying free reusable bags at farmer markets is not an effective strategy for Extension professionals attempting to reduce plastic bag use. Instead, we recommend working with local officials to develop financial incentives and disincentives tied to the type of bag option shoppers use, implement plastic bag bans at markets, and conduct locally-focused education and outreach. Although shoppers’ environmental literacy and desire for sustainability is high, it is shown that behavior change is unlikely to occur without financial or policy incentives.
Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Professional Night for Youths
Authors: Henry Emily
Published: December 2021

Extracurricular science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) activities are an engaging way to introduce historically minoritized youths to STEM. In this article, I describe one such event, a Women in STEM Professional Night, designed to connect eighth-grade girls with women in STEM careers. This interactive event provides a personalized connection to STEM, helps combat gendered stereotypes, and builds girls’ self-identification with STEM. Best practices include a carefully structured event, inviting a diverse group of women STEM professionals, and intentional preparation of all participants to set expectations. These insights serve as a guide for Extension professionals interested in creating a similar event.

Published: December 2021

We examined small farmers’ use of and preference for different channels for marketing agricultural products and explored differences by gender, age group, and education level. Farmers markets and social media were preferred channels, with participants under age 55 being more likely than those 55 and over to prefer and use social media and agree that social media would be useful for promoting products and increasing sales. While selling via social media could provide a larger market, one challenge is that the average age of Mississippi farm operators is 59. Therefore, Extension must consider multiple approaches for delivering training on marketing.

Od Jana Amosa Komeńskiego do Jeana Frédérica Oberlina – od idei do praxis
Authors: Kamińska Krystyna
Published: December 2021

Resulting from his reflections on education and shaped by the idea of pansophism, the phenomenon of Comenius' pedagogical thought for centuries not only had an impact on the development of the subsequent philosophical trends forming the (perennial) educational exemplar but also it indicated the direction of the essential educational reforms. One of the inheri-tors of Comenius' pedagogical visionary was the author of Poêles à tricoter - John Frederic Oberlin. In his archetype of kindergarten, a reflection of Comenius' idea related to the early education can be found, which was included in Informatorium scholae maternae ('On early education'), which Oberlin puts into a language of pedagogical praxis. Comenius' ideas of religious-ethical education, child’s multisided development and education leading to child's readiness to be a pupil were given not only an application character but also an institutional form by Oberlin. Initiated by Oberlin in Ban de la Roche in 1769 on the pages of Poêles à tricoter and referring directly to Comenius' reflections, the educational solutions commenced the new era in the history of education.

Locuras y corduras de la justicia en Don Quijote
Authors: Trujillo Silva Joaquín
Published: December 2021

Existe una tensión entre la cordura y la locura en el hecho mismo de la justicia, tensión que don Quijote encarna. En sus momentos de locura, el Quijote es un justiciero; en los de cordura, un jurista. Estos dos Quijotes aparecen y reaparecen a lo largo de la novela, pero cobran especial significado ante el testimonio de damas ultrajadas, como también al final, cuando el caballero recupera la cordura y resuelve sus problemas patrimoniales previo a testar. Finalmente, el artículo propone que para Cervantes la locura es una condición de posibilidad de la justicia en el mundo.
La justicia de Cervantes: jueces y juicios en Don Quijote de la Mancha
Authors: Jocelyn-Holt Emilia
Published: December 2021

Esta es una primera aproximación al estudio de la noción de justicia de Miguel de Cervantes en su novela Don Quijote de la Mancha. Para esto se reflexiona respecto de la aplicación de la justicia, en particular en torno a tres jueces que aparecen de una u otra forma: don Quijote, Sancho Panza y el propio Cervantes. En el personaje de Don Quijote vemos un modelo de justicia ya superado, mientras que en Sancho Panza se nos presenta un modelo de juez, el cual tristemente no es más que una gran burla. Por último, se analiza a Cervantes en cuanto juez para preguntarse si el autor condena o absuelve a la justicia como un ideal.

Published: December 2021

The lack of an effective methodology for the analysis of asset securitization operations causes problems in the formation of a strategy for managing the process of financing the activities of the initiator of the securitization. The article substantiates the areas of analytical support of the management system in terms of asset securitization: the formation of financial and economic justification of the feasibility and feasibility of securitization of assets (study of potential investors and analysis of prospects for placement of securities; diligence); assessment of the original assets of the originator for the possibility of their securitization; identification of the impact of securitization of assets on the financial performance of the originator; assessment of risks associated with the use of securitization of assets); analysis of the quality of the asset pool generated by the originator for securitization; evaluation of the effectiveness of securitization operations for its initiator. It is also proposed to analyze the quality of the pool of assets generated by the originator for securitization, in the following sequence: assessment of the probability of default and the amount of expected losses on the pool of assets to be securitized; identification of factors influencing the early repayment of pool assets; assessment of the parameters of the formed pool of securitized assets, based on the analysis of its structure and the selected system of indicators; modeling of future payment flows in the pool of securitized assets, which provides the formation of analytical information to decide on the possibility of securitization using the assets available in the originator and diversification of risks through optimal concentration of assets.

The study of the analysis of the dynamics of indicators that characterize the current state of development of the creative industries sector of Ukraine was conducted to conclude the presence or absence of signs of "cost disease". The analysis was conducted at a high level of aggregation: distinguishing only two segments of the creative industries sector: cultural and creative.

The study's relevance is that in a crisis in the economy, it is advisable to diagnose sectors that need support by attracting additional funding from the budget or private funds, as the losses that occur are long-term and difficult to compensate.

The study aims to empirically verify the theoretical regularity of Baumol W.I., Bowen W.G. on the manifestation of signs of "cost disease" in the sector of creative industries of the economy of Ukraine based on available statistics.

The study's methodology was to identify the symptoms of "cost disease" by comparing indicators of specific segments of the creative industries sector with indicators of macroeconomic dynamics. For this purpose, the time series of macroeconomic characteristics of the Ukrainian economy was used in work.

Studies have shown the absence of signs of cost disease in the creative segment of the creative industries sector and the presence of two of the three signs in the cultural segment. In particular, the "lagging productivity" formed during the last five years has been revealed in the cultural segment. The second sign was also confirmed: "catching up" with wages, which is that wages in the cultural segment are growing faster than labour productivity in the diagnosed segment. Comparing the dynamics of the price index in the national economy and the cultural segment of the creative industries sector, we see that prices in the national economy grew faster than prices for services provided in the cultural segment of the creative industries sector. The third sign that indicates the presence of "cost disease" in the cultural segment - is missing.

However, the specific income deficit in the cultural segment of the creative industries sector (which has a positive value due to one of the three signs of "cost disease") is offset by two other factors - "productivity lag" and "catching up" wage growth.

Published: December 2021

The article deals with the creation of unified information-educational environment of an educational institution, requirements to it, the organization of the educational process based on it, as well as all its constituent parts presented in an educational institution. A promising field of research of the problem of information technologies usage in students' learning activities can become the experimental study of the beliefs of students, scientific-pedagogical and pedagogical staff of higher education institutions on e-learning tools and their application in the educational environment. Moreover, it is worthwhile to mention that the problem of effective use of modern ICT disciplines is studied by many professors of higher educational institutions. However, its incorrect usage leads to the substitution of the learning objectives. Nowadays it is possible to reduce the educational process in universities not only by knowledge mastering, but also teaching students to learn and apply their new knowledge and information as effective, as it is possible. Numerous theoretical and practical research characteristics of the information technology in the students’ educational process claim that this approach is a response to students’ social demands and needs, since it contributes to the formation of professional competence of future professionals. One of the most important factors that significantly effects the quality of education is the usage of modern information technologies. Modern graduate students should have special professional tools and solve working problems, using information systems. Thus, the introduction of innovative information technologies in higher educational institutions enables future professionals to expand their potential abilities and encourages active learning.
