Disentangling Sources of Future Uncertainties for Water
Management in Sub-Saharan River Basins
Authors: Amaranto Alessandro , Juizo Dinis , Castelletti Andrea
Published: January 2021

Abstract. Water management in sub-Saharan African river basins is challenged by uncertain future climatic, social and economical patterns, potentially causing diverging water demands and availability, as well as by multi-stakeholder dynamics, resulting in evolving conflicts and tradeoffs. In such contexts, a better understanding of the sensitivity of water management to the different sources of uncertainty can support policy makers in identifying robust water supply policies balancing optimality and low vulnerability against likely adverse future conditions. This paper contributes an integrated decision-analytic framework combining optimization, robustness, sensitivity and uncertainty analysis to retrieve the main sources of vulnerability to optimal and robust reservoir operating policies across multi-dimensional objective spaces. We demonstrate our approach onto the lower Umbeluzi river basin, Mozambique, an archetypal example of sub-Saharan river basin, where surface water scarcity compounded by substantial climatic variability, uncontrolled urbanization rate, and agricultural expansion are hampering the Pequenos Lipompos dam ability of supplying the agricultural, energy and urban sectors. We adopt an Evolutionary Multi-Objective Direct Policy Search optimization approach for designing optimal operating policies, whose robustness against social, agricultural, infrastructural and climatic uncertainties is assessed via robustness analysis. We then implement the GLUE and PAWN uncertainty and sensitivity analysis methods for disentangling the main challenges to the sustainability of the operating policies and quantifying their impacts on the urban, agricultural and energy sectors. Numerical results highlight the importance of robustness analysis when dealing with uncertain scenarios, with optimal-non robust reservoir operating policies largely dominated by robust control strategies across all stakeholders. Furthermore, while robust policies are usually vulnerable only to hydrological perturbations and are able to sustain the majority of population growth and agricultural expansion scenarios, non-robust policies are sensitive also to social and agricultural changes, and require structural interventions to ensure stable supply.

Published: January 2021

Abstract. Comprehensive and sustainable landslide risk management, including the identification of areas susceptible to landslides, requires responsible organisations to collaborate efficiently. Landslide risk management efforts are often made after major triggering events, such as hazard mitigation after the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal. There is also a lack of knowledge sharing and collaboration among stakeholders to cope with major disaster events, in addition to a lack of efficiency and continuity. There should be a system to allow for landslide information to be easily updated after an event. For a variety of users of landslide information in Nepal, the availability and extraction of landslide data from a common database are a vital requirement. In this study, we investigate the requirements to propose a concept for a web-based Nepalese landslide information system (NELIS) that provides users with a platform to share information about landslide events to strengthen collaboration. The system will be defined as a web GIS (geographic information system) that supports responsible organisations in addressing and managing different user requirements of people working with landslides, thereby improving the current state of landslide hazard and risk management in Nepal. The overall aim of this study is to propose a conceptual framework and design of NELIS. A system like NELIS could benefit stakeholders involved in data collection and landslide risk management in their efforts to report and provide landslide information. Moreover, such a system would allow for detailed and structured landslide documentation and consequently provide valuable information regarding susceptibility and hazard and risk mapping. For the reporting of landslides directly to the system, a web portal is proposed. Based on field surveys, a literature review and stakeholder interviews, a structure of the landslide database and a conceptual framework for the NELIS platform are proposed.

LA PEDAGOGÍA SOCIAL VERSUS OTRAS DISCIPLINAS Y/O PROFESIONES SOCIALES
Authors: Hidalgo Àngela Janer
Published: January 2021

El ámbito profesional de la pedagogía social es muy amplio y heterogéneo. La pedagogía social se constituye como un cuerpo teórico fundamentado en el marco del trabajo, educativo, social y cultural, orientado en, por y hacia la práctica (Janer, 2017). Hablar de la dimensión profesional de la pedagogía social supone necesariamente hablar de la relación de confusión, equiparación o diferenciación con otras disciplinas y/o profesiones sociales. Esto plantea serias dificultades en relación a las diferentes nomenclaturas y definiciones de las diversas profesiones sociales en cada contexto (Kornbeck, 2014). Las profesiones del ámbito social están intrínsecamente ligadas al desarrollo histórico, político y social de cada país. Esto implica una gran dificultad para encontrar equivalencias tanto lingüísticas como conceptuales. En este artículo se reflexiona sobre dichas relaciones que mantiene la pedagogía social con otras disciplinas y/o profesiones sociales, sobretodo con el Trabajo Social y la Educación Social, y como éstas se dan en varios contextos. Este es un tema que actualmente está sobre la mesa y en la aún no tenemos una respuesta exacta. A través de esta reflexión, se pretende incentivar la investigación en este ámbito y plantear algunas propuestas y líneas de estudio futuras. Es nesario avanzar hacia la minimización de los problemas terminológicos entorno a las diferentes profesiones sociales que existen en los diferentes países para poder determinar qué tipo de relación tienen con la pedagogía social.

Authors: Campbell Colin William
Published: January 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic forced higher education institutions in South Korea to administer Spring 2020 semesters online. This mixed-methods study examined instructor/professor competence for the instructional delivery formats of Face-to-Face and online teaching. Quantitatively, the researcher measured teacher competence for Face-to-Face and online instruction by measuring the Teacher Self-Efficacy levels of non-Korean instructors/professors in South Korean higher education institutions. The qualitative questions assessed the advantages and drawbacks of each instructional delivery format. Findings indicate that instructors/professors are significantly more effective teaching Face-to-Face courses than online courses. However, instructors/professors with online learning experience were significantly more effective teaching online courses than those without online learning experience. It is recommended that all instructors/professors engage in professional development geared towards equipping educators with the tools needed to succeed in the online education environment.

Authors: Yang Weifang , Yan Haowen
Published: January 2021

Traditional teaching methods using a blackboard, PowerPoint presentations and resources available through the Internet still play a leading role in university education. The popularity of smartphones and the use of We-Media and other information communication technologies have introduced the possibility of new teaching methods. This new technology combined with a constant endeavor at institutions of higher education to find more efficient teaching and learning tools brings us to a new teaching mode named "smartphone+". This represents an integration of traditional teaching tools and smartphones and can be realized using currently-available smartphone-based APPs. A practical application of the smartphone+ teaching mode has been implemented using the Rain Classroom APP in a surveying course for undergraduates majoring in Geomatics at Lanzhou Jiaotong University. The experiment has shown that the Rain Classroom-based smartphone+ teaching mode is an efficient method of conveying subject matter and is a valuable supplement to traditional teaching modes. It has a number of advantages over traditional teaching methods including online quizzes and tests, real time assessments, fast interaction, before-class preview and after-class online assessments.

Purpose: The aim of study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of intracanal dressings and their influence on dentinal colour changes. Material and methods: Eighty samples were divided into eight groups (n=10) according to intracanal dressing protocols: G1–distilled water (DW); G2–2% chlorhexidine gel (CHX); G3–calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]2)+DW; G4–grape seed extract (GSE)+DW; G5–ginger extract (GE)+DW; G6–Ca(OH)2+CHX; G7–GSE+CHX; and G8–GE+CHX. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by colony-forming units (CFUs) counting and dentinal colour changes was evaluated by digital spectrophotometry. Data were statistically analysed by specific tests (α=0.05). Results: The highest bacterial reduction was observed in groups 4, 6, 7 and 8, with no significant difference between them (p<0.05). Groups 4 and 7 showed the highest medians of dentinal colour change (p<0.05). Conclusion: The addition of CHX improved the antimicrobial activity of GE-based intracanal dressing, with no effect in GSE-based intracanal dressing; moreover, these protocols induced significant dentinal colour changes.

Published: January 2021

Kamoo region (northeast of Isfahan) has an anticline structure with a northwest-southeast trend. The exposed part of this anticline consists of siltstone-sandstone and Jurassic shale, which is located below the Cretaceous formation as an unconformity. Penetration by magmatic masses (dikes) and mineralization events are mainly related to fault systems and fractures in the region and follow the trend of the anticline. In addition, the intensity and variety of alterations are affected by tectonic factors, with alteration and metasomatic haloes having developed next to crushed areas. The alteration process is the main controller of mineral mass grade in the study area; therefore, iron grade in the Kamoo ore has increased by the effects of alteration. The alteration effects include propylitic haloes, iron hydroxides (limonite), and clay mineralization (argillic). The host rock consists of Jurassic shales with siltstone, sandstone, and Cretaceous limestone. Calcareous formations adjacent to granodiorite masses are the main hosts of iron skarns. The results of this study showed that the mineral samples from Kamoo were relatively rich in Light Rare Earth Elements (LREEs); the average La/Yb ratio is about 18.61 and Eu anomaly is between 0.52 and 1.94. Based on the findings of this study, the origin for Kamoo skarn was consistent with the model presented by Meinert, and the region’s mineralization and alteration characteristics correspond to the conditions prevailing in oceanic subduction and back-arc basin environments.

Published: January 2021

The palm (Phoenix Dactylifera) is one of important trees, and is economically important in south of Iran. Date palm is propagated by the offshoots, number of which is limited. Therefore, adult Date palms produce shoot tips and axillary shoot meristems through the use of a tissue culture. This study was conducted to perform in -vitro tissue culture direct shoot regeneration and determine the best combination of plant regulators and other conditions. To achieve organogenesis and multiplication directly from shoot tips and axillary shoot meristems of Date palm (Phoenix Dactylifera L. Var Pyarum) was used without callus formation. Direct regeneration of vegetative buds minimizes the risk of somaclonal variation among plant regenerates. Results revealed that MS medium supplemented with 4mg/l of kinetin and 3 mg/l of IAA or 2mg/l of BA and 4 mg/l of NAA was the best formation from shoot tip after 16-20 weeks. Subculture per month was evaluated at following conditions: temperature for growth of 27±1°C during the lighted period and 22±1°C during the dark period.

Published: January 2021

The study area is located 100 km southeast of Arak and in two structural zones of Central Iran in the north and Sanandaj-Sirjan in the southern part. Regarding its geological structures, the area has become the source of important mines including the Akhtarchi gold mine, Aliabad iron mine, Ochestan feldspar mine, and Dali gold and copper mines. Therefore, promising areas for exploration activities are identified using the analysis of satellite images of ASTER and Landsat ETM + in the region to identify alteration areas. For this purpose, the necessary corrections were applied to the satellite images. Then, to identify the alteration parts related to the gold deposits, different satellite image processing methods of ETM + and ASTER were used.  These methods include making a false-color composite, band ratio, Selective Principal Components Analysis (SPCA), Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) method, Spectral Information Divergence Classification (SID), Endmember Collection Dialog Components (ECDC), and innovative methods such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Spectral Angle Mapper, as well as unsupervised classification methods. In the end, the major alterations in the region were observed. In the obtained images, the prophylitic zone and the phyllic and argillic zones in the region were observed. To introduce the optimal method, the results of the various methods mentioned were compared with each other and with the current situation of the mines. The alteration zones were identified through band ratio and SAM methods and the combined methods with more power. Finally, SAM, 2:1 ratio, and the combined methods were identified as successful methods for more accurate separation of the alteration zones.

Published: January 2021

The article deals with the problem of intellectual behavior in the era of development of the Internet and social networks. Just as geo-ecology has put the values of nature conservation at the forefront over those of economic gain, so cognitive ecology puts intellectual values at the forefront of the cognitive process. The author substantiates the idea that the Internet has its own cognitive ecology. An overabundance of information requires more complex skills in evaluating and analyzing information, as well as changing value-based intellectual attitudes. It is argued that the theoretical basis for the analysis of cognitive ecology in the Internet age can be the epistemology of virtues, in which various intellectual virtues and vices are studied. The article lists some intellectual virtues and vices that can be demanded when working on the Internet. These intellectual virtues include: open-mindedness, intellectual caution, intellectual courage, intellectual thoroughness, etc.  It is shown that manifestation of intellectual virtues is necessary to navigate in epistemologically “unfriendly” environment of the Internet.

O brasileiro no “Divã de procusto”: a psicanálise e seu discurso sobre o Brasil
Authors: Silva Junior Mauricio Cardoso da , Mello Neto Gustavo Adolfo Ramos
Published: January 2021

A psicanálise, desde seus primeiros anos no Brasil, foi utilizada para o estudo de supostas singularidades características do sujeito nacional. Nos últimos trinta anos, aproximadamente, um boom de produções psicanalíticas sobre o brasileiro foram publicadas. A fim de compreender como nossos psicanalistas construíram suas conclusões, selecionamos algumas obras dando foco às referências utilizadas para suas respectivas fundamentações. Concluímos que nossos analistas têm buscado, para compreender os dilemas nacionais, referências do pensamento social brasileiro em comum, e, ao lerem tais referências não como interpretações, mas como “verdades”, acabam reproduzindo, no interior da psicanálise, ideologias que permeiam as obras dos pensadores que lhes servem como fonte.
The Application of All-arthroscopic Technique to Deep Osteochondral Lesions in the Talus With Scaffold and Autograft Bone Taken From the Tibial Plafond
Authors: Akmeşe Ramazan , Ertan Mehmet Batu , Özyildiran Mustafa
Published: January 2021

Osteochondral lesions in the talus are frequently seen disorders that can cause chronic ankle pain. Surgical treatment is determined by the size and location of the lesion. The microfracture procedure and additional application of scaffold technique have gained popularity for the treatment of small osteochondral defects. However, these techniques may be insufficient and have poor outcomes in deep lesions. Therefore, several different invasive surgical techniques that require the malleolar osteotomy have been described. Problems associated with the invasive surgical intervention may be seen such as reduction loss in the osteotomy site, delayed union or nonunion, permanent pain, and/or swelling. We describe a new all-arthroscopic technique for the treatment of deep talus osteochondral lesions using an autologous bone graft taken from the tibial plafond region together with a chitosan-based noncellular scaffold.

Published: January 2021

This study aimed to investigate and compare pre-service teachers’ self-confidence in technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) concerning their gender, department, and owned digital technologies. To achieve this goal, the survey method was conducted as part of a quantitative method design. Participants of the study consisted of 252 pre-service teachers from four different concentrations: physics, chemistry, biology, and german language teaching. TPACK Self Confidence Scale (TPACK-SCS), which was constructed by Graham, Burgoyne, Cantrell, Smith, and Harris (2009) and adapted to Turkish by Timur and Taşar (2011), was used as the data collection tool. TPACK-SCS is a scale with 4 sub-dimensions as Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), Technological Knowledge (TK), and Technological Content Knowledge (TCK). The Cronbach’s Alpha internal reliability coefficients of the scale were calculated between .78 and .94. Since the data obtained did not show normal distribution it was analyzed by Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis - H tests. According to the results, significant differences were found in the level of self-confidence and sub-dimensions of students’ TPACK according to gender, department, and owned digital technologies for education.
Physicochemical Assessment of the Biodegradability of Agricultural Nonwovens Made of PLA
Authors: Miros-Kudra Patrycja , Gzyra-Jagieła Karolina , Kudra Michał
Published: January 2021

Compostable biodegradable plastics are an ecological alternative to traditional products based on petroleum derivatives, whose post-use waste may pollute the natural environment. Modern polymer materials show the functional properties of plastics obtained by conventional methods, but they also may be degraded as a result of biochemical transformations in composting. This allows such materials to be included in the scheme of the currently implemented circular economy, which does not generate post-consumer waste. This paper presents methods for the assessment of the biodegradation process of selected agricultural nonwovens produced from commercial PLA 6252D polylactide, supplied by Nature Works® LLC, USA. The agricultural nonwovens tested, obtained by the spun-bond technique, were characterised by different degrees of crystallinity in the range from 11.1% to 31.4%. Biodegradation tests were carried out as simulated aerobic composting while maintaining constant environmental conditions in accordance with test procedures based on PN-EN/ISO standards using the method of sample mass loss determination. Gel chromatography (GPC/SEC) and FTIR spectroscopy were also applied to assess the degree of biodegradation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the crystallinity of nonwoven made of PLA 6252 D on its degradation in a compost environment.

In this study, bioactive fibers were produced using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), gelatin, polyvinyl pyrolidone (PVP) as a polymer matrix and different amounts of folic acid (FA) as an vitamin by using electrospinning method. Loading of the folic acid in the polymers was determined by the Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), morphologies and average diameters were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) was applied for determining thermal behaviors.The FTIR spectra TGA showed the successful incorporation of folic acid to the fibers. SEM images showed that various smooth and heterogenous electrospun fibers were produced with average diameters ranging from 125 nm to 980 nm. In vitro study was carried out by using FA dissolved in artificial sweat solution (acidic media, pH 5.44) and UV-Vis analysis of electrospun fibers were evaluated. In vitro release studies showed the FA loaded nanofibers had initial vitamin burst release behavior. The maximum vitamin release percentage of PVA/FA, gelatin/FA and PVP/FA fibers was obtained 86.88 %, 80.2 % and 76.66 %, respectively. From these results, the FA-loaded fibers are potential candidates for transdermal patches and topical applications.

In the subject literature there are only a few articles devoted to the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of patients with large ex- tracranial aneurysms of the carotid artery segment. There are no reports on the quality of life of patients with rare Mega-Giant Carotid Artery Aneurysms (MGCAA) manifesting themselves as chronically large and growing neck tumors. The aim of the research was an evaluation of the health related quality of life (HRQL) of a patient following aneurysmotomy of Mega-Giant Carotid Artery Aneurysms (MGCAA).

An 82-year-old patient was referred to the Department of Vascular Surgery at the John Paul II Hospital in Krakow, due to the presence of a megagiant, painful tumor covering the entire left side of the neck. A physical examination and angio-CT confirmed the pres- ence of a pulsating tumor, which extended vertically from the level of the angle of the mandible to the clavicle, and horizontally from the trachea to the cervical spine. An aneurysmotomy and recon- struction of LICA with cerebral protection using a shunt catheter was performed. The patient was awakened from anesthesia and extubated shortly after the procedure, without any Central Nervous System neurological defects. The surgery was complicated by left recurrent laryngeal nerve paresis and aphonia without dyspnoea, which was only partially resolved around 3 months after the oper- ation itself. The postoperative period was uncomplicated. Health related Quality of Life (HRQoL) was studied using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) to study both the clinical symp-toms and how these symptoms would be reduced in a year follow up after the aneurysmotomy.

Despite the increasing availability of endovascular options and techniques, open surgical repair of ICA aneurysms, especially Mega- Giant Carotid Artery Aneurysms (MGCAA), using cerebral protection (shunts), remains a basic option, providing an opportunity to avoid major intraoperative and postoperative complications. The aneurysmotomy, despite laryngeal nerve paresis and aphonia without dyspnoea, improves the patient’s health-related quality of life.
Prediction of Garment Production Cycle Time Based on a Neural Network

Published: January 2021

The process of garment production has always been a black box. The production time of different clothing is different and has great changes, thus managers cannot make a production plan accurately. With the world entering the era of industry 4.0 and the accumulation of big data, machine learning can provide services for the garment manufacturing industry. The production cycle time is the key to control the production process. In order to predict the production cycle time more accurately and master the production process in the garment manufacturing process, a neural network model of production cycle time prediction is established in this paper. Using a trained neural network to predict the production cycle time, the overall error of 6 groups is within 5%, and that of 3 groups is between 5% and 10%. Therefore, this neural network can be used to predict the future production cycle time and predict the overall production time of clothing.
Reducing Steaming Times in the Printing of Nylon/Elastane Blend Fabrics via Chemical Modification

Nylon fibres are commonly used in blends with elastane. One of the problems encountered in the printing of nylon/elastane blend fabrics is the necessity of long steaming times for fixation, which causes an increase in energy consumption. In this study, the possibility of printing polyamide fabrics with 1:2 metal complex dyes for short steaming times was investigated. For this aim, laboratory and sample scale trials were performed to develop a method of chemically modifying fibres so that polyamide fabrics can be printed in short steaming times. Based on the results obtained in both trials, it was noticed that the steaming time for fixation could be reduced from 30 minutes to 15 minutes by printing with 1:2 metal complex dyes without causing a loss of printing yield and without affecting the fastness adversly in case of applying cationisation pretreatment with a modified quaternary polyalkylamine compound based product.
Zakażenia przewodu pokarmowego w XXI wieku w Polsce i na świecie

Streszczenie

Na początku XXI wieku wciąż istnieje ogólnoświatowy problem zakażeń przewodu pokarmowego we wszystkich grupach wiekowych ludności. Za najpowszechniejszy czynnik etiologiczny chorób biegunkowych na świecie przenoszony przez skażoną żywność uważany jest Norovirus oraz bakterie z rodzaju Salmonella i Campylobacter, jednak za największą liczbę nieżytów żołądkowo-jelitowych odpowiadają rotawirusy. Ciągle terenami endemicznymi ciężkich zakażeń pokarmowych jest Afryka, Azja Południowo-Wschodnia, Ameryka Łacińska oraz wschodnia część Basenu Morza Śródziemnego. Na tych terenach utrzymują się „stare” czynniki etiologiczne biegunek, takie jak np.: Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella Typhi, Salmonella Paratyphi. Grupą szczególnie narażoną na infekcje pokarmowe pozostają dzieci <5. roku życia. Głównym czynnikiem etiologicznym biegunek w tej grupie wiekowej – zarówno w krajach rozwiniętych, jak i rozwijających się – są rotawirusy. Odpowiadają one za 500 tys. zgonów rocznie. Polska ze względu na ograniczone standardy diagnostyczne, epidemiologicznie różni się częstotliwością występowania poszczególnych patogenów biegunkowych od pozostałych krajów. Dotyczy to niższej zapadalności na zakażenia o etiologiach: Campylobacter, Norovirus, Shigella. Dominującym czynnikiem zakażeń pokarmowych o podłożu bakteryjnym w kraju są pałeczki Salmonella, natomiast wirusowym rotawirusy. Wiedza na temat chorób infekcyjnych układu pokarmowego może być w XXI w. na nowo sformułowana, a lista czynników etiologicznych poszerzona, sprzyjają temu zaś badania mikrobioty jelit oraz powszechne stosowanie nowych technik diagnostycznych m.in. spektometrii mas i real-time PCR.

O “Cuidando do Ursinho” é um projeto de extensão universitária interdisciplinar criado em 2016, que iniciou seu trabalho realizando atividades educativas com crianças envolvendo uma “consulta” clínica de um bichinho de pelúcia. Com a observação dos resultados positivos obtidos nessas experiências e com a análise da necessidade de criação de metodologias de educação em saúde para o ambiente escolar, foi criado um jogo de tabuleiro chamado “Liga da Saúde”, trabalhado com crianças escolares de escolas públicas. Objetiva-se a desconstrução do medo do profissional de saúde; a construção de conhecimentos acerca do SUS e a integração entre aprendizado escolar e cuidado em saúde. Para isso, as crianças são convidadas a formarem uma equipe de saúde a fim de desvendar os mistérios da “Ursolândia”, uma cidade na qual muitos ursinhos estão ficando doentes. Para isso, cada um dos alunos ganha um passaporte (cartão SUS) para entrar no jogo e um “poder”, que representa uma das 4 funções dos profissionais da APS (médico, enfermeiro, agente de saúde e dentista). No decorrer da história, as crianças devem realizar missões que envolvem a discussão de diversos temas como dengue, reconhecimento da comunidade, partes do corpo, respeito às diferenças, meio ambiente, alimentação, saúde mental, vacinação, atividade física, gênero e saúde bucal. Foi possível perceber que os conhecimentos trabalhados foram aprendidos pelas crianças, como a função das agentes de saúde, o preparo de soro caseiro, o reconhecimento de mapas, a leitura de horas no relógio, entre outros. Ademais, valores como liderança e trabalho em equipe são incorporados, fazendo com que as crianças entendam que não precisam competir umas com as outras. Desse modo, há uma troca intensa de afeto e saberes entre estudantes e crianças, reinventando a arte do cuidar, na prática da saúde.
