Published: August 2019

This paper presents a case study of an existing water pipeline with five pumping stations each equipped with five pumps. In order to study the pipeline behavior prior to putting the system into operation, several transient simulations for different scenarios were developed. Results revealed that the most serious situation occurred when a simultaneous failure of the five pumps occur at each station caused by power cut, producing negative pressure waves because the system for control of hydraulic transients of the pipeline was insufficient to suppress downsurge pressures, due to the moment of inertia of all the pumps being erroneously considered during the design stage. The necessity to start supplying water to the population led to attempt an unconventional form of protecting the line against low pressures. The solution was to operate two of the five pumps per plant, and permit air to enter through combination air valves located along the pipeline. Air entrained formed pockets that remained stationary at the air valves locations, acting as air cushions that absorbed the energy of transient pressure waves. Computational simulations were conducted considering that two pumps are in operation at each plant and suddenly these fail simultaneously caused by power failure. The program was verified by comparing the calculated results with those registered during field pressure measurements. It was noticed that the surge modelling results are in good agreement with the measured data; furthermore, these show the air pockets in combination with existing devices for transient control protect the system adequately, avoiding potential damage to the pipeline.

Published: August 2019

Accurate quantification of evaporation loss from irrigation canals at an irrigation district scale is very useful for developing efficient irrigation strategies, particularly in water-deficient regions. The double-deck surface air layer (DSAL) model, a new aerodynamic method proposed by Kobayashi et al. (2013), is used for estimating the evaporation loss from a running water surface in irrigation canals. In this study, based on the long-term meteorological measurements made at automatic weather stations in 2013 and the field experiment conducted at - midstream areas of the Heihe River Basin (HRB), northwestern China, the DSAL model was applied to estimate the long-term evaporation loss from irrigation canals, which was the remarkable highlight of the study. The results showed that the rate of evaporation from irrigation canals exhibited a concave-up trend for the period from June to September, with higher values in June and September (20 to 50 mm day−1) and lower values in July and August (around 10 mm day−1). During the four months, for the Yingke and Daman irrigation districts in the Zhangye Oasis, the total water losses from irrigation canals due to evaporation were approximately 23.9 × 105 m3 and 36.6 × 105 m3, or 3.2% and 4.8% of the total amount of irrigation water, respectively. Results of the study are not only important for improving the irrigation water use efficiency, but also are beneficial to develop sustainable water resource management in the midstream areas of the HRB.
Advanced Method to Capture the Time-Lag Effects between Annual NDVI and Precipitation Variation Using RNN in the Arid and Semi-Arid Grasslands
Authors: Wu Taosuo , Feng Feng , Lin Qian , Bai Hongmei
Published: August 2019

The latest research indicates that there are time-lag effects between the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the precipitation variation. It is well known that the time-lags are different from region to region, and there are time-lags for the NDVI itself correlated to the precipitation. In the arid and semi-arid grasslands, the annual NDVI has proved not only to be highly dependent on the precipitation of the concurrent year and previous years, but also the NDVI of previous years. This paper proposes a method using recurrent neural network (RNN) to capture both time-lags of the NDVI with respect to the NDVI itself, and of the NDVI with respect to precipitation. To quantitatively capture these time-lags, 16 years of the NDVI and precipitation data are used to construct the prediction model of the NDVI with respect to precipitation. This study focuses on the arid and semi-arid Hulunbuir grasslands dominated by perennials in northeast China. Using RNN, the time-lag effects are captured at a 1 year time-lag of precipitation and a 2 year time-lag of the NDVI. The successful capture of the time-lag effects provides significant value for the accurate prediction of vegetation variation for arid and semi-arid grasslands.
Drought Risk under Climate and Land Use Changes: Implication to Water Resource Availability at Catchment Scale
Authors: Afzal Muhammad , Ragab Ragab
Published: August 2019

Although the climate change projections are produced by global models, studying the impact of climatic change on water resources is commonly investigated at catchment scale where the measurements are taken, and water management decisions are made. For this study, the Frome catchment in the UK was investigated as an example of midland England. The DiCaSM model was applied using the UKCP09 future climate change scenarios. The climate projections indicate that the greatest decrease in groundwater recharge and streamflow was projected under high emission scenarios in the 2080s. Under the medium and high emission scenarios, model results revealed that the frequency and severity of drought events would be the highest. The drought indices, the Reconnaissance Drought Index, RDI, Soil Moisture Deficit, SMD and Wetness Index, WI, predicted an increase in the severity of future drought events under the high emission scenarios. Increasing broadleaf forest area would decrease streamflow and groundwater recharge. Urban expansion could increase surface runoff. Decreasing winter barley and grass and increasing oil seed rape, would increase SMD and slightly decrease river flow. Findings of this study are helpful in the planning and management of the water resources considering the impact of climate and land use changes on variability in the availability of surface and groundwater resources.

Published: August 2019

Soil erosion causes severe on- and off-site effects, including loss of organic matter, reductions in soil depth, sedimentation of reservoirs, eutrophication of water bodies, and clogging and smothering of spawning habitats. The involved sediment source-mobilization-delivery process is complex in space and time, depending on a multiplicity of factors that determine lateral sediment connectivity in catchment systems. Shortcomings of soil erosion models and connectivity approaches call for methodical improvement when it comes to assess lateral sediment connectivity in agricultural catchments. This study aims to (i) apply and evaluate different approaches, i.e., Index of Connectivity (IC), the Geospatial Interface for Water Erosion Prediction Project (GeoWEPP) soil erosion model, field mapping and (ii) test a connectivity-adapted version of GeoWEPP (i.e., “GeoWEPP-C”) in the context of detecting hot-spots for soil erosion and lateral fine sediment entry points to the drainage network in a medium-sized (138 km2) agricultural catchment in Austria, further discussing their applicability in sediment management in agricultural catchments. The results revealed that (a) GeoWEPP is able to detect sub-catchments with high amount of soil erosion/sediment yield that represent manageable units in the context of soil erosion research and catchment management; (b) the combination of GeoWEPP modeling and field-based connectivity mapping is suitable for the delineation of lateral (i.e., field to stream) fine sediment connectivity hotspots; (c) the IC is a useful tool for a rapid Geographic Information System (GIS)-based assessment of structural connectivity. However, the IC showed significant limitations for agricultural catchments and functional aspects of connectivity; (d) the process-based GeoWEPP-C model can be seen as a methodical improvement when it comes to the assessment of lateral sediment connectivity in agricultural catchments.
California’s coastal development: Sea-level rise and extreme events — where do we go from here?
Authors: Griggs Gary , Patsch Kiki
Published: August 2019

As sea level continues to rise at an accelerated rate, California’s intensive coastal development and infrastructure is coming under an increasing threat. Whether lowelevation shoreline areas that are subject to flooding at extreme tides and times of storm wave run-up, or construction on eroding bluffs or cliffs, the risks will continue to increase from extreme events but, over the longer term, from continuing sea-level rise. Future sea-level rise values under different greenhouse gas scenarios have recently been projected and adopted by the state to be used in coastal land use planning and decision making. While beach nourishment can provide very short-term protection, and seawalls and revetments can provide somewhat longer-term protection, they both come with significant costs and also environmental impacts. The era of routine armor emplacement is coming to an end in California, and whether designated as relocation or managed retreat, now is the time to make the difficult decisions on how this will be accomplished and what the trigger points will be to initiate the response.

Published: August 2019

The rapid increase in waste volume leads to numerous and widespread impacts on sustainable development including social, economic and environmental dimensions. This study applied Wasteaware benchmarking, which is a set of international indicators, to evaluate the effectiveness and sustainability of municipal solid waste management in Bangkok. The indicators allowidentification of strengths and weaknesses of the urban waste management system, providing evidence-based guidance for further improvement. Structured questionnaires were developed based on the indicators and its manual for in-depth interviews with key stakeholders from Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). The data were analyzed using wasteaware datasheet under Microsoft Excel with score coding, generating a clear and detailed overview of the performance of Bangkok’s municipal solid waste management system (MSW). The overall assessment demonstrated that all waste collected is disposed through official treatment facilities. However, the system’s effectiveness is constrained by ineffective enforcement of relevant regulations. Moreover, waste collection services were found to be not fully efficient. In terms of financing sustainability, improvements are needed to reduce disposal costs. Even if BMA prioritizes waste collection and disposal, it is equally important to promote the 3Rs and fully implement source separation to reduce waste volumes at source. In this regard BMA’s efforts to waste volume reduction targets have met with limited success, and the volume of waste generated in Bangkok continues to rise each year. To enhance the sustainability of MSW management, the outcome of this study could be used to support decision-making and further development, as well as provide inputs for future research.

Published: August 2019

Remaja rentan mengalami masalah kesehatan karena berperilaku yang berisiko, seperti perilaku seksual bebas. Dampak dari perilaku tersebut adalah terjadinya kehamilan remaja. Remaja mungkin sulit untuk mengutarakan masalah-masalah kesehatannya disebabkan kurangnya kosakata dan rasa malu saat membahas tentang seksual. Perawat dapat mengantisipasi atau mencegah kejadian kehamilan remaja dengan tiga tingkat pencegahan yakni pencegahan primer, skunder dan tersier. Konseling pasangan remaja tentang pilihan-pilihan yang bisa dilakukan mereka, merupakan pencegahan tersier. Konseling sebaya merupakan sebuah program pelayanan dari konselor sebaya yang efektif dalam memberikan informasi kesehatan dan membantu teman lainnya untuk mengenali masalahnya, menyadari kebutuhan untuk mencari pertolongan atas masalahnya. Konseling dengan konselor sebaya lebih disukai daripada kepada orang yang lebih dewasa, karena teman sebaya dianggap lebih mengerti permasalahannya dengan baik.
Cyclone & its Adverse Effects on Climate Change
Authors: Zou Hai
Published: August 2019

In meteorology, a cyclone is a large scale air mass that rotates around a strong center of low atmospheric pressure. Cyclones are characterized by inward spiraling winds that rotate about a zone of low pressure. The largest low-pressure systems are polar vortices and extra tropical cyclones of the largest scale (the synoptic scale). Warm-core cyclones such as tropical cyclones and subtropical cyclones also lie within the synoptic scale. Mesocyclones, tornadoes and dust devils lie within smaller musicale.
Storm Surge Causes and Different Variations
Authors: Mao Park
Published: August 2019

A storm surge, storm flood or storm tide is a coastal flood or tsunami-like phenomenon of rising water commonly associated with low pressure weather systems (such as tropical cyclones and strong extra-tropical cyclones), the severity of which is affected by the shallowness and orientation of the water body relative to storm path, as well as the timing of tides. Most casualties during tropical cyclones occur as the result of storm surges. It is a measure of the rise of water beyond what would be expected by the normal movement related to tides. The two main meteorological factors contributing to a storm surge are a long fetch of winds spiraling inward toward the storm, and a low-pressure-induced dome of water drawn up under and trailing the storm's center.
Historical Background of Rohingya Crisis between Bangladesh and Myanmar

Published: August 2019

The Rohingya refugee crisis is a controversial issue, which has imposed Burma-Bangladesh relations in late 1970s. The Rohingya crisis has created a crisis against Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine due to human rights violations of the military junta in Myanmar. Rendered stateless, Rohingya escaped from Bangladesh and other neighboring countries to take shelter. Discussion failed to solve the Rohingya refugee crisis year. This research note proposes the need for intense bilateral and multi-party negotiations, which is a possibility that can be easily available through the democratic process of Myanmar. The report is divided into four sections. The first three address human rights issues through a temporal framework – past, present, and future – designed to approach the issues in a holistic manner. They cover specific human rights concerns for Rohingya in both Myanmar and Bangladesh, beginning with atrocities committed in the context of the crackdown, moving onto protection concerns for refugees in Bangladesh and ongoing rights violations in Myanmar, and finally addressing potential future violations in the context of repatriation and medium- and long-term residency in Bangladesh. The final section discusses the role of ASEAN in working toward a resolution, which also formed a key component of APHR’s investigation. The report concludes with recommendations for the Myanmar government, the Bangladeshi government, and ASEAN and member state governments.

A Feminist Perspective and the Challenge of Post Conflict Development in Africa
Authors: Omotosho Mashood
Published: August 2019

In the last two decades, Africa has witnessed series of wars and ethno-religious conflicts with devastating impact on women. Various atrocities against women have been recorded during these conflicts and these developments have created a dangerous dimension against non-combatant women in the continent. In an attempt to resolve the conflict and armed conflict on women in the areas of sexual and gender-based violence, series of peace missions and peace building mechanism were put in place. Despite the various peace negotiations, evidence has shown that women are largely absent from formal peace negotiations and their voices are not heard both at local and continental levels especially within the modern-day challenges and post conflict development. In fact, the transformation agenda of post-conflict peace negotiations routinely failed to consider the gendered causes and consequences of armed conflict and post-conflict reconstruction. It is against this backdrop that this paper attempts to reassess the ambivalent role of women in conflict management in Africa. More importantly, the paper argues that there is need to increase women’s participation in peace talks, planning of demilitarisation, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) and determining governance and security structures, especially in conflict prone areas. Ultimately, the paper seeks to also identify challenges hindering the role and the participation of women in post conflict development in Africa.

La reutilización de materiales es una decisión importante como método para cuidar el ambiente, dar un nuevo uso a los productos disminuye la cantidad de desechos que se puedan generar.  Es relevante que se promueva desde edades tempranas en los centros educativos, la importancia del reciclaje no sólo como una práctica amigable con el ambiente sino como una forma de emprendimiento innovadora, para lo cual es prioritario la motivación y acompañamiento docente.  Son muy pocas las iniciativas que se generan sobre esta temática.  El objetivo de ésta investigación determinó la importancia de promover la elaboración de juguetes ecológicos a partir de la reutilización de materiales. En la investigación se utilizó el método teórico y dentro de este el método descriptivo para describir la reutilización de materiales y la relevancia de la participación de los jóvenes en iniciativas como elaborar juguetes para niños de sectores más vulnerables. La aplicación del método analítico permitió analizar los resultados obtenidos a través de la aplicación de grupos focales con niños. El método sintético orientó la redacción de las conclusiones y su discusión. El artículo por consiguiente se enfoca en analizar si la reutilización de materiales para elaborar juguetes contribuye al desarrollo infantil.

Para contribuir a la comprensión del “burnout” y el autocuidado de las educadoras familiares de Manabí, se caracterizó socioeconómicamente la población, se estimó la presencia del síndrome y se determinó la aplicación de actividades de autocuidado. La metodología consideró un enfoque cuanti-cualitativo, con alcance descriptivo, un diseño no-experimental transversal, se aplicó como técnicas e instrumentos: ficha sociodemográfica, cuestionario para actividades de autocuidado, y el Inventario de “Burnout” de Maslach. La población estuvo compuesta por una muestra de doscientas treinta y seis educadoras familiares en formación dual. Se encontró que la mayoría de ellas presentan el síndrome: de forma leve, y en menor porcentaje moderada, y severa presencia. Se halló que se somatiza más en nuca-espalda y cabeza, y que las actividades de autocuidado más practicadas son la actividad física, “decir no cuando es necesario”, y dormir; además, la mayoría está de acuerdo en practicar actividades de autocuidado y se considera capaz de abandonar un mal hábito. Se concluye que existe un porcentaje considerable de la población que está en riesgo pues tiene presencia leve del síndrome, pero no tiene conciencia de padecerlo, mientras que para las demás participantes sería necesaria la intervención específica con estrategias de autocuidado y tratamiento profesional.

Las infecciones asociadas a la atención en salud presentan alto índice en el servicio de Terapia Intensiva por la gravedad del paciente, y el uso de procedimientos invasivos terapéuticos. El estudio se realizó en el Hospital Carlos Andrade Marín de la ciudad de Quito, de forma descriptiva y trasversal, enfocado a 212 profesionales de la salud que fueron observados durante el cuidado directo a los pacientes críticos. Se evaluó la manipulación de tres dispositivos: catéter venoso central, catéter urinario y ventilador mecánico. Resaltando el desequilibrio de medidas asépticas y cumplimiento de protocolos por el personal de salud, con mayor dirección a infección del torrente sanguíneo relacionado con el catéter venoso central. La medición de la adherencia al lavado de manos, según los cinco momentos recomendados por la OMS, demostró con anterioridad que hay deficiencia en: la dotación de insumos y dispositivos médicos, y al momento de realizar procedimientos invasivos y al manejar pacientes con aislamientos respiratorios y de contacto. Sustentando la necesidad de realizar un protocolo de vigilancia que incluya la supervisión de medidas de prevención de higiene de manos, y al realizar procedimientos invasivos para disminuir las tasas de infección asociada a la atención en salud.

En el mundo existen muchas formas de contaminación, y en los últimos tiempos han tenido gran repercusión sobre el medio ambiente, lo que altera el hábitat, una de esas formas que pueden afectar la calidad de vida de las personas es el ruido, conocido como acústica o sonora, sobre todo en zonas de gran densidad poblacional, donde el tráfico rodado va en aumento. Este tipo de contaminación acústica generado por el tráfico motiva estudios para salvaguardar la integridad de las personas, las cuales pueden presentar trastornos fisiológicos y psicológicos en su organismo; llegando incluso a afectar a poblaciones de animales de diferentes especies. La Universidad San Gregorio de Portoviejo, no cuenta con estudios referentes a la problemática ambiental ocasionada por ruidos, lo que se constituye en una necesidad imperiosa de elaborar un mapa acústico que permita la identificación de los puntos de mayor nivel de contaminación acústica lo que permitirá aplicar planes de acción que impactaran de forma positiva ya que existe desconocimiento sobre las normativas legales referentes a la contaminación sonora, cuales son los límites permisibles en general sobre todo en los centros de enseñanza.
