Directional Land Surface Emissivity Retrieval from Combined MERSI/FY-3D/E, MODIS/Terra and MODIS/Aqua Infrared Data
Authors: Wang Yi-Cheng , Jiang Geng-Ming
Published: November 2023

This paper addresses the directional land surface emissivity (LSE) retrieval from the data acquired by the MEdium Resolution Spectral Imager (MERSI) on Fengyun 3D and 3E (FY-3D/E) and the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Terra and Aqua. First, a method, including LSE retrieval and multi-satellite data assimilation, is developed based on radiative transfer theory. Then, the MERSI/FY-3D/E and MODIS/Aqua data are transferred to the effective MODIS/Terra measurements under the same observation conditions. Next, the bi-directional reflectances in MODIS/Terra channel 20 are derived based on the temperature independent spectral indices (TISI) concept. Later, the directional LSEs in the channel 20 are retrieved using the RossThick-LiSparse-R model and the Kirchhoff’s law. After that, the directional LSEs in MODIS/Terra channels 29, 31 and 32 are retrieved. Finally, the retrievals are validated with the MODIS/Terra land surface temperature and emissivity (LST/E) 8-day level 3 (MOD11C2) product and the in situ data at three bare area sites. The results show that the multi-satellite data provide more information of view angles and solar angles, which makes the retrievals more robust. Over the vegetated areas with normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in (0.3, 1.0), the retrievals in this work are basically consistent with the MOD11C1 product, and the LSE differences are -0.037±0.032, -0.013±0.019, -0.020±0.014 and -0.028±0.020 in the channels 20, 29, 31 and 32, respectively. Over the bare areas with NDVI in (0.0, 0.3], large differences exist between the retrievals in this work and the MOD11C2 product, especially for the channel 20. However, the retrievals over the bare areas in this work agree with the in situ LSEs with mean absolute errors of 0.026, 0.060, 0.007 and 0.012 in the four channels, respectively. In general, the retrievals from the multi-satellite data in this work are valid and accurate.
Sea Surface Temperature Retrieval from the FY-3D MWRI Measurements
Authors: Li Zi-Chong , Jiang Geng-Ming
Published: November 2023

Sea surface temperature (SST) is a key climate variable, which affects the behavior of the Earth’s atmosphere. In this paper, a method coupled with microwave sea surface emissivities (SSEs) is developed to retrieve SST from the intercalibrated measurements acquired by the Microwave Radiation Imager (MWRI) on Fengyun 3D (FY-3D) satellite. First, the spatiotemporal matching samples over sea surfaces in 0.25˚×0.25˚ between FY-3D MWRI measurements and the fifth generation of European Center for Medium-range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) atmospheric reanalysis (ERA5) data in January, April, July and October 2020 are collected and used to determine the unknown coefficients of the SST retrieval algorithm. To improve the accuracy, besides grouping the samples by sea surface wind speed and SST, pseudo-SSEs are introduced into the SST retrieval algorithm. The root mean square errors (RMSEs) of the SST retrieval algorithm in the three steps are 1.18 K, 0.73 K and 0.68 K, respectively. With the same training samples, the SST retrieval algorithm in this work is superior to the Wentz and Meissner’s (W&M’s) algorithm, whose RMSEs are 1.08 K and 1.05 K in the first step and second step, respectively. Then, the SSTs in 2020 between 60ºS and 60ºN are retrieved from the FY-3D MWRI measurements without precipitation and heavy clouds. Finally, the SSTs retrieved in this work are validated with the GMI SST and the iQuam in situ data. The errors of the retrieved SSTs in the three steps are 0.19±1.23 K, 0.17±1.15 K and 0.01±1.15 K against the GMI SST, respectively, while they are 0.48±1.24 K, 0.37±1.13 K and 0.12±1.10 K against the iQuam in situ data, respectively. The errors of both the retrieval algorithm and the derived SSTs in this work are obviously reduced after introducing the pseudo-SSEs into the algorithm, which proves that the SST retrieval algorithm developed in this work is valid and accurate. The error comparisons of SSTs retrieved from the FY-3D MWRI measurements show that the algorithm in this work also outperforms the W&M’s algorithm.
Distributed Intelligence for Dynamic Task Migration in the 6G User Plane using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Majumdar Sayantini , Schwarzmann Susanna , Trivisonno Riccardo , Carle Georg
Published: November 2023

In-Network Computing (INC) is a currently emerging paradigm. Realizing INC in 6G networks could mean that user plane entities (UPEs) carry out computations on packets while transmitting them. These computations may have specific requirements in terms of their completion time. In case of high compute pressure at one UPE, migrating computations to another UPE may be beneficial, in order to avoid exceeding the completion time requirement. Centralized migration approaches suffer from increased signaling and are prone to react too slow. Therefore, this paper investigates the applicability of distributed intelligence to tackle the problem of compute task migration in the 6G user plane. Each UPE is equipped with an intelligent agent, enabling autonomous decisions on whether computations should be migrated to another UPE. To enable the intelligent agents to learn and apply an optimal task migration policy, we investigate and compare of two state-of-the-art Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) approaches: Advantage Actor-Critic (A2C) and Double Deep Q-Network (DDQN). We show, via simulations, that the performance of both solutions, in terms of the percentage of tasks exceeding their completion time requirement, is near-optimal and training A2C is at least 60% faster.

String-to-String Coupling Within a Large Photovoltaic Module: Measurement and Circuit-Computational Electromagnetic Hybrid Modelling
Authors: Coetzer Kurt , Wiid Pieter Gideon , Rix Arnold
Published: November 2023

Large photovoltaic (PV) modules comprise multiple series-connected internal strings, which are in turn composed of series-connected PV cells. When excited with time-varying signals, the loops formed by these internal strings couple to each other. Until now, this coupling has not been considered in any radio frequency interference studies of PV systems. This article examines this coupling both practically and computationally as follows. Firstly, the loop-to-loop coupling within a large (310 W) PV module is quantified through a careful series of low-frequency vector network analyser measurements -- the first novel contribution of the study. Secondly, a recently-proposed circuit-computational electromagnetic hybrid methodology is applied to this coupling problem, investigating it computationally – the second novel contribution of the study. The four newly-formulated PV models which utilise this hybrid methodology are assessed, as well as two literature-based models. Thirdly, a comparison of the measured and simulated results is performed – the third novel contribution of the study. This crucial validation step is performed by examining the scattering parameter results, both visually and by means of the acclaimed Feature Selective Validation (FSV) method. The literature-based models exhibit poor FSV correlation in all cases, while the improved models show good-to-excellent FSV accuracy - a vast improvement.

Authors: Emami Amir , Pirbonyeh Neda , Moattari Afagh , Javanmardi Fatemeh
Published: November 2023

Background. Data on the disease burden and circulation patterns of influenza B virus lineages for Iran are limited.
Objective. This review aims to describe the pattern of influenza B occurrence in Iran, comparing it with the proposed vaccine strains and determining the match and mismatch with the prescribed vaccine annually.
Methods. Various sources were used to retrieve information of the data; such as information from an online search of databases such as FluNet, GISAID, and NCBI. After extracting protein sequence records in GISAID, sequence alignment with vaccine strain and construction of a phylogenetic tree were performed. Subsequently, categories of the registered circulating strains were evaluated for matching with the vaccine strains.
Results. Of the total registered influenza-positive samples, 20.21% were related to influenza B virus. The phylogenic tree was designed based on 43 samples registered in the GISAID database; 76.74 and 23.25% sequences were of Yamagata and Victoria lineages, respectively. The most prevalent influenza B virus strains circulating during the study years belonged to the Yamagata lineage. In general, the match of the influenza B virus predominant circulating strains with administrated vaccines was observed in Iran. However, a high level of mismatch between the vaccine strain and Iranian isolates was identified in 2016‒2017.
Conclusion. The review of match and mismatch in influenza vaccine in order to improve the composition of the prescribed vaccine in each region is very important because the vaccine efficacy decreased when the strain included in vaccine did not match the circulating epidemic strain.

Published: November 2023

Monitoring the circulation of the measles virus and studying its genetic diversity is an important component of the measles elimination program. A methodological approach to molecular genetic studies and their interpretation in the measles surveillance was developed in the early 2000s. During its development, clear areas of circulation of each genotype of the virus were identified, therefore, the determination of viruses genotypes was proposed to monitor circulation and identify transmission pathways. However, in the future, due to a significant decrease in the number of active genotypes, an approach based on sub-genotyping was proposed: determining not only the genotype of the virus, but also its genetic lineage/genetic variant. The Global Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network (GMRLN) systematically monitors the circulation of the measles virus at the sub-genotypic level, depositing the results in a specialized database MeaNS2. It is this database that is the most complete and reliable source of information about the genetic characteristic of measles viruses.
This review presents both historical information and the latest data on the global genetic diversity of the measles virus.
The role of the encephalomyocarditis virus type 1 proteins L and 2A in the inhibition of the synthesis of cellular proteins and the accumulation of viral proteins during infection

Published: November 2023

Introduction. Infection of cells with encephalomyocarditis virus type 1 (EMCV-1, Cardiovirus A: Picornaviridae) is accompanied by suppression of cellular protein synthesis. The main role in the inhibition of cellular translation is assigned to the L and 2A «security» proteins. The mechanism of the possible influence of the L protein on cellular translation is unknown. There are hypotheses about the mechanism of influence of 2A protein on the efficiency of cap-dependent translation, which are based on interaction with translation factors and ribosome subunits. However, the available experimental data are contradictory, obtained using different approaches, and do not form a unified model of the interaction between the L and 2A proteins and the cellular translation machinery.
Aim. To study the role of L and 2A «security» proteins in the suppression of translation of cellular proteins and the efficiency of translation and processing of viral proteins in infected cells.
Materials and methods. Mutant variants of EMCV-1 were obtained to study the properties of L and 2A viral proteins: Zfmut, which has a defective L; Δ2A encoding a partially deleted 2A; ZfmutΔ2A containing mutations in both proteins. Translational processes in infected cells were studied by Western-blot and the pulse method of incorporating radioactively labeled amino acids (14C) into newly synthesized proteins, followed by radioautography.
Results. The functional inactivation of the 2A protein does not affect the inhibition of cellular protein synthesis. A direct correlation was found between the presence of active L protein and specific inactivation of cellular protein synthesis at an early stage of viral infection. Nonspecific suppression of the translational processes of the infected cell, accompanied by phosphorylation of eIF2α, occurs at the late stage of infection. Partial removal of the 2A protein from the EMCV-1 genome does not affect the development of this process, while inactivation of the L protein accelerates the onset of complete inhibition of protein synthesis. Partial deletion of the 2A disrupts the processing of viral capsid proteins. Suppression of L protein functions leads to a decrease in the efficiency of viral translation.
Conclusion. A study of the role of EMCV-1 L and 2A proteins during the translational processes of an infected cell, first performed using infectious viral pathogens lacking active L and 2A proteins in one experiment, showed that 2A protein is not implicated in the inhibition of cellular translation in HeLa cells; L protein seems to play an important role not only in the specific inhibition of cellular translation but also in maintaining the efficient synthesis of viral proteins; 2A protein is involved not only in primary but also in secondary processing of EMCV-1 capsid proteins.
The Right to a Healthy Environment in the Democratic Republic of Congo: A Right of Ambiguous Effectiveness
Authors: Gabriel Ajabu Mastaki , Anaclet Nzohabonayo
Published: November 2023

Today, living in a healthy environment remains an ongoing quest, despite the affirmation of the right to a healthy environment by various national and international legal instruments. The Stockholm and Rio conferences were the starting point for raising awareness of the dangers posed by human activities. To this end, the States undertook to confer on every individual the right to live in a healthy environment. It was only after a struggle by the Human Rights Committee that the right to a healthy environment was recognized as a human right. It is now a subjective right recognized for every human being. The Congolese legislature enshrined this right in article 53 of its constitution. The constitutionalisation of this right gives it the status of a justiciable right. For 17 years now, this right has remained more theoretical than practical in the Democratic Republic of Congo, even though it is a constitutional right. There are several reasons for this theorizing, such as the low number of cases referred to the courts, or the fact that it is impossible to do so, and the absence of environmental litigation. Yet there are many solutions that can make the right to a healthy environment effective in this country. In light of these issues, the study answers the following question: Can violations of the right to a healthy environment be justiciable before Congolese courts? The constitutionalisation of the right to a healthy environment as a human right implies a constitutional obligation on Congolese courts and tribunals to apply not only the Constitution, but also international treaties and agreements enshrining this right and forming an integral part of the Constitution.
Prescribing Opioid Analgesics: what Preventive Measures Taken by Doctors to Avoid Their Problematic Use?
Authors: Tbatou L. , Sabir M. , omari F. El
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Opioid analgesics, whether strong or weak, carry a risk of dependence, abuse, and misuse, influenced by various factors, including individual terrain, environment, properties of the opioids, and pain. The risk of opioid use disorder when taking prescription opioids is approximately 3% over 2 years, highlighting the importance of early detection of patients at risk. Methodology and Objectives: This study is a descriptive and analytical survey that questioned 120 doctors about their opioid prescribing method. It took place over two months using Google Forms software. The goal was to understand how doctors prescribe opioids and what they look for in patients' profiles to detect risks of opioid use disorder. Discussion: Our study highlights that half of doctors do not take the patient's profile into account, even if they have a psychiatric and addictological history. A Canadian study shows that the assessment of the risk of misuse is more frequent than in our study. In addition, Morocco does not have specific recommendations for the risk of addiction, unlike some countries such as Canada. In our study, codeine is widely prescribed, mainly due to doctors' lack of awareness of its addictive potential, followed by Tramadol. However, in the literature, Tramadol and Codeine are more commonly used. Opioids are prescribed for severe pain in most cases, but sometimes for pain without an appropriate indication, such as migraine or fibromyalgia. Studies show high inappropriate use, especially for chronic non-cancer pain. It is crucial not to extend the prescription of opioids beyond three months in the absence of improvement and not to exceed 150 mg of morphine equivalent per day. In addition, it is essential to regularly monitor the pleasant and euphoric effects of opioids, as well as to provide training and information to practitioners while creating a prescribing guide. Conclusion: The dosage of opioids must be adjusted individually according to pain, with ......

Published: November 2023

This study investigates the impact of external debt on the economic growth of Laos, with a specific focus on the evolving structure of external debt in the country spanning 1995 to 2020. It employs an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to establish long-term cointegration among key economic variables. The variables under scrutiny include human capital, labor force participation, external debt, inflation, and exchange rates, which are analyzed for their roles in shaping economic growth in Laos. In the long term, the study identifies robust and statistically significant relationships. Notably, human capital and the labor force emerge as influential drivers of economic growth, with coefficients of 2.0594 and 0.0591, respectively. Conversely, there is a substantial negative correlation between the external debt ratio per GDP and inflation rate with economic growth. This indicates that increases in these variables are associated with diminished economic expansion over time. In the short term, the study reveals that human capital and labor force participation positively impact Laos' economic growth. In contrast, the short-term effects of the external debt ratio, inflation rate, and exchange rate are adverse, indicating potential economic challenges that need to be addressed promptly. Based on findings, this study provides valuable insights into the determinants of economic growth in Laos, both in the long and short terms. These findings can inform policymakers and researchers in the development of more effective economic strategies, taking into account Laos' unique economic context.

Students’ Demographics in Postgraduate Engineering Education: The Case of International Students
Authors: Fomunyam Kehdinga George , Moyo Sibusiso
Published: November 2023

Engineering was informally viewed as skills that were passed down from engineers who were mostly European immigrants. As times changed and development occurred, these engineering skills were integrated into the curriculum to train engineers to meet the regional economic need in various countries of the world. As a result of various needs of people and of the international community, internationalization of higher education has gained interest recently. In an attempt to unravel this, there must be an understanding of their demographic characteristics, enrolment, and support. In this demographic study, postgraduate engineering international students were the study group and data from the National Science Foundation (2018) was used in this study. Data was collected from graduate students and post doctorates in science and engineering (GSS). This research is a demographic study of doctoral and postdoctoral non-tenure researchers in engineering education. Findings from the study revealed that there was more male enrolment than female in postgraduate programmes.

Constellations of Research, Innovation, and Internationalisation in Africa
Authors: Fomunyam Kehdinga George
Published: November 2023

African higher education has been experiencing tremendous growth for the past decade and this has resulted in the growth of research and innovation. The phenomenon of internationalisation has also grown tremendously in Africa as almost all nations and institutions are striving to develop one international component or another. National governments are increasingly paying more attention to higher education and increasing their investments in the same. This has created a new power dynamic in the higher education arena in Africa as some players have been more influential than others. Henderson (2015) argues that the higher education section is currently experiencing waves of internationalisation and globalisation, and researchers across the continent need to explore these phenomena so as to provide lenses with which we can try to describe and analyse what is happening in this rapidly shifting higher education terrain. Henderson continues that the shift in the balance of power we have witnessed and are currently witnessing, reflects both the provision and quality of higher education on the continent or regions of the continent outside of the traditionally dominant regions of the global North. African higher education is reasserting herself in the global higher education landscape and by so doing redefining its own path in the global stratosphere.

Los gobiernos kirchneristas (2003-2015) marcaron un parteaguas en las políticas de la memoria de la última dictadura militar en Argentina, permitiendo que se establecieran sitios de memorias y se aperturaran numerosos juicios, que son hoy un referente a nivel internacional en materia de Derechos Humanos. Sin embargo, esto generó un proceso de institucionalización de la memoria que ha tenido consecuencias políticas para el movimiento social.  El objetivo de este artículo es indagar en algunos factores socio-históricos que posibilitaron llegar a este proceso de estatización, revisando el papel central que tuvo el movimiento de derechos humanos en el diseño de estas políticas y las tensiones que se generaron en su seno. Me interesa además analizar críticamente las políticas emprendidas, resaltando la importancia de mantener el carácter dinámico de las memorias para evitar su estancamiento.

The article discusses the main approaches to assessing the market value of property: the method of comparison with similar objects on the market, the income approach, as an assessment of potential income from property, and the cost approach, as an assessment of the costs of restoring or replacing property. The phasing of bankruptcy procedures, the methodology and principles ensuring the process of crisis management and bankruptcy are summarized. The main stages of comparative analysis and the need to adjust the cost of each of the compared objects are outlined. An income approach to assessing the value of property, an asset or a business is presented, which is based on forecasting future cash flows. It is noted that this valuation method is often used when valuing commercial real estate, businesses, investments and other income-generating assets. A feature of the income approach is considered, which consists in calculating net current cost income using a discounted rate that reflects the minimum acceptable return of the investor or a capitalized rate, depending on the risks and characteristics of the asset. The cost approach is based on determining the value of an asset based on its cost to restore or replace it. The method is used in valuing real estate, equipment and other assets using replacement cost estimates that take into account depreciation and obsolescence.

Die Wende zu mehr Praxis in der US-amerikanischen Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung
Authors: Zeichner Ken , Bier Marisa
Published: November 2023

Dieser Beitrag diskutiert den derzeitigen Fokus auf die Praxis in der US-amerikanischen Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung. Nach einer Übersicht zum aktuellen Stand und einer Diskussion der fortdauernden Probleme in der berufspraktischen Ausbildung werden jüngste Anstrengungen von Früheinsteiger-, universitären und hybriden Programmen zur Verbesserung der berufspraktischen Ausbildung diskutiert. Der Beitrag schliesst mit einer Einschätzung zukünftiger Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung in den USA. Die drei Ansätze werden eingebettet in den gegenwärtigen politisch-ökonomischen Kontext der Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung, der Investitionen in nicht universitäre Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildungsprogramme begünstigt zulasten der Budgets öffentlicher Hochschulen, die die meisten US-Lehrpersonen ausbilden. Es wird ausserdem vor einer unkritischen Verherrlichung von Praxis gewarnt, die nicht nach jenen Formen berufspraktischer Felderfahrung sucht, die am ehesten die erwünschten Wirkungen versprechen.
Entwicklung und Etablierung der Fachdidaktik in der schweizerischen Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung: Überlegungen zu Rolle und Bedeutung, Analyse des Ist-Zustands und Reflexionen für eine produktive Weiterentwicklung
Authors: Heitzmann Anni
Published: November 2023

Als Einführung in die Themennummer weist dieser Beitrag auf die Tradition der fachdidaktischen Diskussion in der Schweiz hin. Er vergleicht diese mit dem aktuellen Diskussionsstand der COHEP-Tagung «Stand der Fachdidaktiken in der Schweiz» vom Januar 2013 in Zürich. Es wird gezeigt, wie die jeweils eingenommene Perspektive das Aufgabengebiet und die Verortung von Fachdidaktiken bestimmt. Erreichte Erfolge wie zunehmende Autonomie, strukturelle Verankerung, internationale Forschungs-und Publikationstätigkeit werden Mängeln, nämlich einem diffusen Begriffsverständnis, fehlender Standardisierung und einer noch nicht gelungenen inhaltlichen Integration, gegenübergestellt. Eine Klärung der Anteile verschiedener Wissensformen an fachdidaktischem Professionswissen für Integrationsfächer, wie sie im Lehrplan 21 realisiert werden sollen, sowie die Schaffung dafür erforderlicher Strukturen sind notwendig. Ein weiterer künftiger Entwicklungsschritt wird ein verstärkter Fokus auf die fachdidaktische Lehre (Verbindung zur Berufspraxis und die Qualifikation des fachdidaktischen Nachwuchses) sein.
