Ekonomisk analys av nyttjandet av Sveriges hav åren 2014–2020
Authors: Koehler Birgit , Mustamäki Noora , Bryhn Andreas
Published: December 2023

Havet är inte bara viktigt för de organismer som lever i eller av det, utan står även för betydande ekonomiska värden. I denna rapport beskrivs Statistikmyndigheten SCB:s ekonomiska statistik från 2014–2020 för svenska näringar som är beroende av havet. Här beskrivs även värdet av nyttor kopplade till rekreation vid kusten, samt fiske. Dessutom beskrivs det totala ekonomiska värdet under förutsättning att God Miljöstatus skulle nås år 2040 i svenska vatten. Nettoomsättningen inom den maritima sektorn har ökade under sjuårsperioden 2014–2020. Det årliga genomsnittet av nettoomsättningen av de marina näringarna var 106 miljarder kronor, förädlingsvärdet 31 miljarder kronor och exporten 12 miljarder kronor. Nettoomsättningen av de maritima näringarna motsvarade cirka 2,1 procent, förädlingsvärdet cirka 0,6 procent, och exporten cirka 0,3 procent av Sveriges bruttonationalprodukt 2019 och 2020. I genomsnitt utgjorde transportsegmentet den största andelen av de maritima näringarna både avseende den totala nettoomsättningen och förädlingsvärdet, medan exporten dominerades av segmentet ”teknik och produktion”. Antal gästnätter i besöksanläggningar i kustområdet i hela riket ökade under sjuårsperioden 2014–2020. Störst antal gästnätter rapporterades från Egentliga Östersjön. Det kommersiella fisket ökade i landningsvärde 2014–2020, men antalet anställda i branschen minskade. Under samma period har det inte skett mer fritidsfiske, men kostnaderna har ökat. Betalningsviljan för att uppnå God Miljöstatus i svenska vatten har i tidigare studier skattats till 8,2 miljarder kronor. Medianvärdet för betalningsvilja var 500 kr per person och år, och medelvärdet var 1 075 kr per person och år.

Authors: Gitonga Daphine , Wekesa Chemuku , Kowero Godwin , Kiseu Eva , Mutta Doris , Omondi Raymond , Roos Anders
Published: December 2023

This report presents proceedings of “AfricanYouth4Forests” project workshop held in Voi, Taita Taveta county, Kenya from 7 to 9 November 2022. The workshop was jointly organised by African Forest Forum (AFF), Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), and Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI). It brought together 19 youths from Taita Taveta and Nairobi counties between 18-25 years of age to engage with researchers and policymakers in conversations about young people's views, visions, goals, and ideas in shaping the future governance of Kenya’s and the continent's forests. The participants identified niches for youths' engagement in forests to improve forest cover, curb climate change effects and improve livelihoods. The youth participants envisioned 'a world where young people are more involved in sustainable development by participating in the green economy.' To achieve the youths’ vision, several actions were recommended; training the youth on sustainable forest management and green entrepreneurship, developing markets for green products, establishing innovative knowledge-sharing platforms, and actively involving the youths in national and international policy processes on forests and climate change. The outcome reflected a wide range of views and ideas among the youth, and that they have the capacity and readiness to tackle the forest-related challenges towards 2030 and beyond. It is recommended that the dialogue between African forestry researchers and the youth should continue.

Effect of out-of-plane acoustic phonons on the thermal transport properties of graphene
Authors: Chen J. , Liu Y.
Published: December 2023

The lattice thermal conductivity of graphene is evaluated using a microscopic model that takes into account the lattice's discrete nature and the phonon dispersion relation within the Brillouin zone. The Boltzmann transport equation is solved iteratively within the framework of three-phonon interactions without taking into account the four-phonon scattering process. The Umklapp and normal collisions are treated rigorously, thereby avoiding relaxation-time and long-wavelength approximations. The mechanisms of the failures of these approximations in predicting the thermal transport properties are discussed. Evaluation of the thermal conductivity is performed at different temperatures and frequencies and in different crystallite sizes. Reasonably good agreement with the experimental data is obtained. The calculation reveals a critical role of out-of-plane acoustic phonons in determining the thermal conductivity. The out-of-plane acoustic phonons contribute greatly and the longitudinal and transverse acoustic phonons make small contributions over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies. The out-of-plane acoustic phonons dominate the thermal conductivity due to their high density of states and restrictions governing the anharmonic phonon scattering. The selection rule severely restricts the phase space for out-of-plane phonon scattering due to reflection symmetry. The optical phonon contribution cannot be neglected at higher temperatures. Both Umklapp and normal processes must be taken into account in order to predict the phonon transport properties accurately.

Authors: Ekiz C. , Erdem R. , Semet D.
Published: December 2023

Using the path probability and lowest approximation of cluster variation method, we study the dynamic and equilibrium properties of a bilayer magnetic system, consisting of two ferromagnetic monolayers antiferromagnetically coupled for different spins (σ = 1/2 and S = 1). Firstly, numerical results of the monolayer and total magnetizations are presented under the effect of the diverse physical parameters, and the phase diagrams of bilayer system are discussed. Then, since it is well established that the path probability method is an effective method for the existence of metastable states, the time evolution of monolayer- and total magnetizations is investigated.

Authors: Searle Michelle , Carbone Katrina , Chowdhury Sumaiya , Cooper Amanda , Kukkonen Tiina , Chowdhury Antara Roy
Published: December 2023

This essay describes an art-informed inquiry to develop inclusive spaces and advance critical thinking about identity where artist-researcher-educator/researcher collaborations are enacted through oil pastels, collages, and an exhibit as a catalyst for expanding thinking about assessment identity. Those involved considered how assessment identity is a complex construct that influences pedagogy by artfully reflecting their knowledge, beliefs, feelings, confidence, and role. A library exhibit engaged broader audiences as an act of disrupting and expanding traditional expectations about educators/ researchers. This project makes space to embrace diversity and multiple ways of knowing with a commitment to inclusion that interweaves imagination and dialogue

Published: December 2023

Concept of Electronegativity is used by so many researchers to calculate Refractive index Band energy, Dielectric constant, Metallization criterion, Basicity, Oxide ion polarizability, Bond ionicity, Third order non-linear optical susceptibility to study the so many glass systems. Here the concept of optical electronegativity is used to study these parameters for conditional glass formers refer as (II) of group V(A,B) and VI(A,B). They are Ta2O5, Nb2O5, V2O5, Cr2O3, Bi2O3, TeO2, MoO3, As2O3, WO3, Se2O3. It is observed that on decreasing the values of optical electronegativity, optical band energy, metallization criterion, and bond iconicity decreases; and optical dielectric constant, optical basicity, oxide ion polarizability refractive index, third order non linear optical susceptibility increases. All conditional glass forming oxides (II) are according to Pauling's packing rule, Goldschmidt radius ratio rule, Zachariasen's random network theory and rules for formation of glass and Sun’s single bond strength theory. For Conditional glass formers (II) radius ratio rc/ra = 0.250-0.492, [except Bi2O3 (0.75) & TeO2 (0.87)] and single bond strength greater than 90 Kcal/mol. According to Sun’s, high bond strength oxides are not good glass formers because they themselves do not forms glass; but when they forms small ring in the melt of these materials which would result in easy crystallization. Key Words: Refractive index Band energy, Dielectric constant, Metallization criterion, Basicity, Oxide ion polarizability, Bond ionicity, Third order non-liner optical susceptibility.

Published: December 2023

Fifth-generation technology [5G] services commercialized in 2019 have not only provided voice and data communication but also undergone significant structural changes in mobile networks to accommodate Internet-of-things devices, sensitive to latency and reliability, by adopting the latest ICT technologies, such as software-defined networking/network function virtualization, multi-access edge computing, and network slicing. However, this technological evolution poses new security chal- lenges, such as creation of new access paths, owing to its complex inter-operation structures, security downgrading, and limitations in security visibility. To address these issues, research on 5G security threats and security architecture has been actively underway at international standards organizations, communication carriers, and universities. However, security researchers find it difficult to conduct studies on 5G security technology design and application methods owing to the relatively unknown nature of the mobile carrier network. Therefore, in this paper, we analyzed five new security issues for each 5G section, relative to 5G technical advantages, by reviewing previous studies. In addition, we classified cyber attacks against nine network protocols primarily used in the 5G core network. The result of this study is expected to be used as basic data for modeling 5G security threats. Keywords: 5G security, Internet of things, 5G security technology, Cyber attacks, 5G threats

Authors: Shaik Abdul Shareef , Thuvanismail Nasar , Vadlakonda Shiva Krishna , Chekuri Aditya Varma
Published: December 2023

The aquaculture industry is emerging exponentially because the demand for seafood is at its peak and the capture of fish production is reached its saturation point. Aquaculture is classified into nearshore and offshore farming. The nearshore cages are mostly flexible and subjected to calm to moderate sea conditions. Whereas offshore cages are robust and designed to withstand severe sea environmental conditions. The present article describes the hydrodynamic behavior of a semisubmersible square fish cage subjected to regular waves. The square cage is submerged by three different submergences of 50%, 75% and 100% overall depth with a constant water depth. A numerical analysis is carried out to study the hydrodynamic properties such as added mass, radiation potential damping, wave excitation force, motion responses and mooring line tension. The numerical work results are plotted and correlated with each case of different submergence. The cable tensions and responses of the cages are increasing with a decrease in the percentage of submersion. Among all the cases, the cage with full submergence showed better performance for all wave environmental conditions.
A Mesh-Free Particle Based Method to Study the Fluid Flow Characteristics in Tuned Liquid Dampers
Authors: Jena Debadatta , Pattanaik Bhabani Prasanna
Published: December 2023

Tall structures are built in urban areas to accommodate large number of populations because of land constraint issue. These types of structures are susceptible to strong ground motions of varying frequency contents. Many researchers have developed various mechanisms to minimize the vibration of tall and slender structures subjected to strong ground motions. Tuned liquid damper is one of the passive damping devices attached to the structure to reduce the vibration. Various numerical methods have been developed to analyze the fluid flow behavior inside the tuned liquid damper. The mesh-based methods fail to capture the complex nonlinear fluid flow behaviour inside the damper and the related phenomena. The present study proposes a particle-based method for the analysis of fluid flow behaviour inside the tuned liquid damper. The proposed method is validated with the results of earlier established studies. Results showed that the moving particle semi-implicit method is one of the robust numerical methods used now-a-days to capture the wave breaking phenomenon inside the tank, wave impact on the side walls of the tank and free board in a consistent manner.
Place-Making through the Creation of Common Spaces in Lima’s Self-Built Settlements: El Ermitaño and Pampa de Cueva as Case Studies for a Regional Urbanization Strategy
Authors: Frank White , Samar Kenworthy , Cayon Lee
Published: December 2023

Lima has become the first Peruvian megacity with more than 10 million people, resulting from the migration waves from the countryside throughout the 20th century, which have also contributed to the diverse ethnic background of today’s city. The paper analyzes two neighborhoods located in the inter-district area of Northern Lima: Pampa de Cueva and El Ermitaño as paradigmatic cases of the city’s expansion through non-formal settlements during the 1960s. They represent a relevant case study because of their complex urbanization process, the presence of pre-Hispanic heritage, their location in vulnerable hillside areas in the fringe with a protected natural landscape, and their potential for sustainable local economic development. The article traces back the consolidation process of these self-built neighborhoods or barriadas within the context of Northern Lima as a new centrality for the metropolitan area. The analysis of urban form and mobility, heritage and environmental challenges, governance, and social integration leads to a proposal for neighborhood upgrading, capacity building with participatory processes, and a vision for future local development to decentralize the traditional metropolitan centers, which can be scaled to other peripheral neighborhoods.

Techniques for Increasing Student Engagement for Contact Hour Equivalence: Online Courses That Are Flexplace, not Flextime
Authors: Sturges David L.
Published: December 2023

The concept pursued by this study is to find contact-hour equivalency for students to opt for online classes that are ensured of being equal to or better than classes on campus. The result is an application of online techniques that are based on not requiring students to come to campus for classes, but that meet in the schedule of classes. These are referred to here as “Flex-Place, not Flex-Time.” This course design builds courses to allow scheduling activity on a schedule similar to building a Face-2-Face course schedule, but without the associated costs in dollars and time to commute to campus. Those students who work to support their educational costs, can go to the employee lounge to attend class rather than jumping into a car and making a thirty-minute drive to spend thirty-minutes looking for a parking place to make an on campus class.
Breaking with Tradition: Video Games as an Alternative Tool for ESL Instruction in Puerto Rico's Public Schools
Authors: Horowitz Kenneth
Published: December 2023

Puerto Rico's public school system has been teaching English as a second language for more than a century but has been unable to increase proficiency rates among students at all levels. A lack of physical and economical resources, combined with a disconnect at the governmental and educational levels, have resulted in an island population that not only does not speak English but sees the language as little more than a tool for employment. Many Puerto Ricans have little or no opportunity to actively connect what they learn in the English classroom to their daily lives due to the absence of a true English-speaking environment. It is possible that video games may serve to bridge the gap between academic content and home life by offering persistent opportunities to use English in authentic contexts and in real time.

Queensborough Community College, part of the City University of New York, is an Hispanic serving institution with 26% Hispanic population. Students learn alongside students from 143countries bringing language experience in Spanish, French, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Chinese, Pushto, and Farsi. We are preparing our students for a future in which information networks are readily available, situating our students in a global search engine. In addition, increasingly our students come into academic communities with transnational identities. This requires that our students be prepared to create connections, to synthesize identity and information in a way that facilitates the bonds of relations that create coherences and communities. Broad based networks rely on deep, personal abilities to both present ourselves and understand others in technological environments. Our colleges welcome students from around the world into new learning spaces to join in learning experiences that must also connect to authentic meaning making that is rooted in communities of origin at the same time that those origins are incorporated into an understanding of a future self in a new space.

Published: December 2023

El texto se puede analizar como un objeto lingüístico cuya organización interna a través de párrafos responde a principios de jerarquía y estructura (Garrido 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019). El párrafo, a su vez, unidad discursiva entre la oración y el texto, también posee estructura interna (Martínez Caro, 2014), pues el modo en que se suceden las oraciones dentro de un párrafo obedece a principios tales como el de la organización de la información. En este artículo partiré del concepto de estructura informativa para explicar la importancia del orden tanto en la relación entre oraciones en un párrafo como entre párrafos en el texto. Revisaré el comportamiento de ciertas locuciones conjuntivas y partículas discursivas y trataré de recursos léxicos, como el de las anáforas nominales o conceptuales y su uso en los textos periodísticos. El objetivo es aplicar el concepto y temas presentados a la propuesta didáctica enfocada en la mejora de las habilidades escritas.

Nanocomposites of poly(methylmethacrylate-cobutylacrylate) P(MMA-co-BuA) and silver nanoparticles (NPsAg) synthesized with extracts of O. ficus-indica (OFI) and A. vera (AV) were obtained by using microwaves. The nanocomposites were synthesized by “in situ” emulsion polymerization, where different concentrations of NPsAg (0.05, 0.1, 0.5 and 1%) with respect to the polymer were studied. Films were formed from the latex, which were characterized by different techniques. Using UV-Vis, the characteristic absorbance of the surface plasmon resonance of the NPsAg in the nanocomposite was observed in the range of 415-436 nm. The thermal stability of the nanocomposites was carried out using TGA, where it was observed that the higher the concentration of NPsAg, the lower thethermal stability. The DSC results showed that the glass transition temperatures (Tg) for the nanocomposites with nanoparticles are between 8 and 12ºC. The percentage elongation of the nanocomposites was 400%, in addition, the Young’s modulus and the tensile strength of the same were determined, observing that the higher the content of NPsAg, the lower the elastic behavior and the mechanical resistance of the nanocomposites. Using SEM, it was confirmed that the NPsAg maintain a spherical morphology. Finally, using FTIR, the possible interaction between the PMMA-Co-BuA copolymer and the NPsAg was determined.

Рациональное использование электроэнергии в условиях урбанизированного производства посадочного материала ягодных культур
Authors: Басарыгина Елена Михайловна , Колотыгина Евгения Александровна
Published: December 2023

В соответствии с дорожной картой научно-технологического развития урбанизированного растениеводства России в период до 2030 года «технологии клонального микроразмножения растений» относятся к «приоритетным направлениям исследований и разработок». Реализация технологии микроклонального размножения требует значительных затрат электроэнергии, особенно на этапе адаптации к нестерильным условиям. Именно адаптация считается критической фазой во всех схемах клонального микроразмножения, что обусловлено коренным отличием условий in vitro от условий in vivo. В данный период требуется создавать такие условия культивирования, которые близки к естественным условиям и способствуют активной жизнедеятельности растений. Рациональное потребление электроэнергии на этом этапе производства посадочного материала предполагает ее экономное и эффективное использование для создания необходимых условий культивирования (параметров микроклимата). Исследования осуществлялись в лаборатории урбанизированного растениеводства ФГБОУ ВО Южно-Уральский ГАУ. Биологический материал для четвертого этапа клонального микроразмножения (этапа адаптации) был предоставлен ООО НПО «Сад и огород». В базовом (контрольном) варианте для досвечивания растений ежевики Карака черная использовались люминесцентные лампы, в предлагаемом (опытном) варианте – светильники ФИТО-СВЕТ, установленные на фитотроне «Роса-1», оснащенной системой видеонаблюдения. Качество посадочного материала оценивалось путем определения отклика растений: частоты адаптации; морфометрических показателей; показателей листового аппарата; вегетационных индексов, определяемых методами спектрального анализа. В результате проведенных исследований установлено, что электрическая энергия рационально использовалась в предложенном варианте производства посадочного материала ягодных культур, который позволяет снизить энергозатраты при сохранении качества продукта. Вегетационные индексы эффективности поглощения света у растений в предложенном варианте несущественно отличались от аналогичных индексов растений, выращиваемых при естественном свете, что будет способствовать успешной адаптации опытного посадочного материала к условиям открытого грунта.

Adult dogs (32) of either sex, divided into 2 groups were used for evaluation of anesthetic efficacy of xylazine (1mg/ kg IV) and dexmedetomidine (375µg/m2 IV) in atropine-butorphanol premedicated and ketamine (till effect IV) induced dogs which were further maintained on halothane. Clinical parameters and reflexes (induction dose, intubation time, jaw relaxation, pedal, palpebral and photo-pupillary) were measured at baseline (pre-operative), just after induction and at 5, 15, 30 and 45 min after the start of halothane. Similarly, haemato-biochemical parameters were measured at baseline (pre-operative), intraoperative and postoperative phase along with recovery parameters. On comparative basis, induction dose of ketamine was 3.7 and 2.9 mg/kg body weight and intubation time 81.29±6.22 and 45.87±3.95 sec in group BXK and BDK groups respectively. Uniform and pronounced muscle relaxation along with excellent sedation was found in both the groups. All haemato-biochemical parameters remained within normal range except hyperglycaemia was observed during late phase in both groups. Mean vaporizer concentration of halothane was 2 and 1.26% in BXK and BDK group respectively. Following discontinuation of the halothane, all the recovery times of BDK group took significantly lesser time than group BXK along with superior quality of recovery.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification was employed for the detection of fowl adenoviruses as a simple, rapid and field based diagnostic assay. Out of 134 field samples screened, 28 samples were positive by both PCR and LAMP assay. The LAMP assay primers were found to be highly specific and it detected only fowl adenovirus samples and it did not react with other avian viruses like Marek’s disease virus and avian leucosis virus. Conventional PCR detected 100ug level of DNA whereas LAMP assay detected up to 10ng level of DNA. It clearly indicated that LAMP assay was 100-times more sensitive than conventional PCR. The specificity of LAMP assay was confirmed by sequencing of the LAMP amplified products and real time PCR. The LAMP positive reaction can be easily visualized under UV trans- illuminator by the addition of SYBR green dye. Thus, LAM Passay proves to be a sensitive, rapid, less-laborious and cost- effective technique for the diagnosis of fowl adenoviruses in field conditions.

Published: December 2023

The patients of hospitals are vulnerable to noise and can adversely be affected due to noise exposure. Mixed landuse such as residential zones and commercial centres, hospitals located beside commercial buildings, etc., are commonly seen phenomena in India. This leads to an increase in noise levels in silence zones and violates the standard norms given by CPCB. This study aims to develop a noise prediction model by the application of a genetic algorithm for selected hospitals in Surat city A Genetic Algorithm based mathematical model is designed for three hospitals in Surat city, Gujarat, namely (1) Sushrut hospital and (2) Tristar hospital and (3) Reliance hospital. For the prediction model, the daytime (9:00:00 A.M – 9:00:00 P.M) 12 hrs. data is used. It was collected as per CPCB guidelines at each location using KIMO DB 300/2, Class – 2 sound level meter. Data like traffic composition, vehicle speed, meteorological parameters and geographical features were also recorded. Many factors affect the noise levels. But in this study, three major factors included in the noise prediction model are traffic flow (composition), speed of vehicle and aspect ratio. The predicted noise levels are compared with measured noise levels. The coefficient of determination (R2) values for all three locations are either nearer to 0.7 or greater than 0.7. Also, the values of Karl Pearson's coefficient of correlation (r) for each location are more significant than 0.8 near 1. These all indicate that the noise prediction model is strongly correlated with monitored data. Also, the model gives the results accurate within 0.649%, and globally, the models are found valid within ±1.5%. Hence, it is concluded that the model shows very precise and satisfactory results.

Authors: TODOS Irina , CECLU Liliana
Published: December 2023

In various fields or areas of human activity, innovation is used and interpreted differently. It is certain that without innovation no change occurs. In the educational field, innovation is a complex subject that needs to be studied from several aspects and at several levels: at the level of individuals who make the change or who motivate others to innovate, at the social, environmental, and economic levels, where some innovations are accepted and encouraged, and others are inhibited and undervalued. The aim of this study is to analyze the types of innovations in education and highlight the impact of innovations implemented in higher education institutions both at the institutional level and in social and economic environments. Several cognitive, analytical, comparative, and statistical methods were used to carry out the research and to reach the goal. The importance of this article lies in the broad approach of innovation in education, especially in higher education, and its impact on the social, economic, and cultural development of the region.
