Published: October 2023

TanSat-2, the next-generation Chinese greenhouse gas monitoring satellite for measuring carbon dioxide (CO2), has a new city-scale observing mode. We assess the theoretical capability of TanSat-2 to quantify integrated urban CO2 emissions over the cities of Beijing, Jinan, Los Angeles, and Paris. A high-resolution emission inventory and a column-averaged CO2 (XCO2) transport model are used to build an urban CO2 inversion system. We design a series of numerical experiments describing this observing system to evaluate the impacts of sampling patterns and XCO2 measurement errors on inferring urban CO2 emissions. We find that the correction in systematic and random flux errors is correlated with the signal-to-noise ratio of satellite measurements. The reduction in systematic flux errors for the four cities are sizable, but are subject to unbiased satellite sampling and favorable meteorological conditions (i.e., less cloud cover and lower wind speed). The corresponding correction to the random flux error is 19–28%. Even though clear-sky satellite data from TanSat-2 have the potential to reduce flux errors for cities with high CO2 emissions, quantifying urban emissions by satellite-based measurements is subject to additional limitations and uncertainties.

Satellite-based PM2.5 estimation is an effective means to achieve large-scale and long-term PM2.5 monitoring and investigation. Currently, most of methods retrieve PM2.5 from satellite-derived aerosol optical depth (AOD) or top-of-atmosphere reflectance (TOAR) during daytime. A few algorithms are also developed to retrieve nighttime PM2.5 from the satellite day–night band and the accuracy is greatly limited by moonlight and artificial light sources. In this study, we utilize the properties of absorption pollutants in infrared spectrum to estimate PM2.5 concentrations from satellite infrared data, thus achieve the PM2.5 estimation in both day and night. Himawari-8 infrared bands data are used for PM2.5 estimation by a specifically designed neural network and loss function. Quantitative results show the satellite derived PM2.5 concentrations correlates with ground-based data well with R2 of 0.79 and RMSE of 15.43 μg · m−3 for hourly PM2.5 estimation. Spatiotemporal distributions of model-estimated PM2.5 over China are also analyzed, and exhibit a highly consistent with ground-based measurements. Dust storms, heavy air pollution and fire smoke events are examined to further demonstrate the efficacy of our model. Our method not only circumvents the intermediate retrievals of AOD, but also enables consistent estimation of PM2.5 concentrations during daytime and nighttime in real-time monitoring.

Published: October 2023

The present article focuses on a strain of ascomycete GF3 isolated from a water sample taken in the Gulf of Finland. Based on phylogenetic analysis data, the isolate was identified as Penicillium sp. GF3. The fungus GF3 demonstrates algicidal activity towards cyanobacteria (98–100%). The algicidal effect on green algae did not exceed 50%. The isolate GF3 exhibits an indirect attack mode by releasing metabolites with algicidal and/or lytic activity into the environment. Moreover, the strain Penicillium sp. GF3 is able to degrade MC-LR. After 72 h of GF3 cultivation, the MC-LR content was reduced by 34.1% and 26.7% at initial 0.1 μg/mL and 0.45 μg/mL concentrations, respectively. The high stress resistance of the GF3 to toxic MC-LR is provided by a 1.5-fold activation of catalase activity and a change in the reduced glutathione content. Additionally, during the MC-LR biotransformation, a MC-LR-GSH conjugate and linearized MC-LR were identified. The linearized MC-LR in the presence of fungi capable of degrading MCs was revealed for the first time. Using Daphnia magna as a bioindicator, it was shown that the MC-LR biotransformation led to the formation of less toxic intermediates. The toxicity of the fungal filtrate is reduced by five times compared to the abiotic control. Our findings enhance the understanding of the role that ascomycete fungi have as potential bioagents for cyanoHABs to control and detoxify water bodies.
Ensemble Machine Learning of Gradient Boosting (XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost) and Attention-Based CNN-LSTM for Harmful Algal Blooms Forecasting
Authors: Ahn Jung Min , Kim Jungwook , Kim Kyunghyun
Published: October 2023

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a serious threat to ecosystems and human health. The accurate prediction of HABs is crucial for their proactive preparation and management. While mechanism-based numerical modeling, such as the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC), has been widely used in the past, the recent development of machine learning technology with data-based processing capabilities has opened up new possibilities for HABs prediction. In this study, we developed and evaluated two types of machine learning-based models for HABs prediction: Gradient Boosting models (XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost) and attention-based CNN-LSTM models. We used Bayesian optimization techniques for hyperparameter tuning, and applied bagging and stacking ensemble techniques to obtain the final prediction results. The final prediction result was derived by applying the optimal hyperparameter and bagging and stacking ensemble techniques, and the applicability of prediction to HABs was evaluated. When predicting HABs with an ensemble technique, it is judged that the overall prediction performance can be improved by complementing the advantages of each model and averaging errors such as overfitting of individual models. Our study highlights the potential of machine learning-based models for HABs prediction and emphasizes the need to incorporate the latest technology into this important field.
Modeling Land Use and Management Practices Impacts on Soil Organic Carbon Loss in an Agricultural Watershed in the Mid-Atlantic Region
Authors: Tijjani Sadiya Baba , Qi Junyu , Giri Subhasis , Lathrop Richard
Published: October 2023

Measuring organic carbon (OC) losses from soils presents a challenge because of the intricate interplay of human-induced and biophysical processes. This study employs SWAT-C to simulate particulate OC (POC) and dissolved OC (DOC) losses from the Upper Maurice Watershed in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Simulation outcomes reveal that surface runoff was the primary contributor to the total DOC load (65%), followed by lateral flow (30%), and then groundwater (5%). Meanwhile, POC load was linked to erosion processes induced by surface runoff. Our findings indicate that agricultural land-use types exhibited the highest annual average DOC and POC loads. Forests and grasslands displayed intermediate loads, while barren land had the lowest load. Concerning seasonal fluctuations, agricultural land-use types exhibited distinct DOC and POC load patterns when compared to forest and grassland types, indicating the dominant role of management practices in determining soil OC (SOC) losses. Additional modeling of management practices’ impact on SOC budgets indicates maximal SOC sequestration with full irrigation, no-till (NT), and full fertilization. In contrast, the largest SOC depletion arises from combining conservation tillage (CT) and no fertilization, irrespective of irrigation. This study shows that SWAT-C can be used to simulate land use and management impacts on SOC dynamics.
Warmstarting strategies for convex optimization based multi-channel constrained active noise control filter design
Authors: Zhuang Yongjie , Mo Zhuang , Liu Yangfan
Published: October 2023

In real-world applications of active noise control (ANC) systems, various constraints are supposed to be satisfied in the controller design process. The optimal control filter coefficients can be obtained by solving a constrained optimization problem, which usually requires a significant
computational effort. Recently, a convex formulation in conic form was proposed for ANC filter design. The proposed formulation was shown to result in a computational time reduction by several orders of magnitude. It is of great interest to further improve its efficiency by using a priori
information of the optimal filter coefficients. One potential way of achieving this goal is to introduce a warmstart technique so that the filter solution of a similar system or environment can be referred to for selecting the starting point of the optimization algorithm. However, the conic
formulation should be solved by the interior-point method, which, in general, is challenging for applying warmstart techniques. In the current work, relaxation methods are proposed to the constraints of original ANC filter design formulation so that the warmstart techniques can be applied.
Then, a warmstarting technique proposed in previous study is used to solve a series of perturbed problems, and the performance of the warmstarting technique is investigated. Results show that with the proposed modifications applied, the warmstarting strategy can significantly reduce the number
of iterations needed for solving the conic formulation of the ANC filter design problem without much tuning efforts, and the method is effective and robust in various environmental setups.

Authors: Bisswang Nadine , Petrik Dimitri , Heumüller Erich , Richter Sebastian
Published: October 2023

Virtual reality has emerged as an influential technology in the educational landscape, offering learners and teachers immersive and interactive experiences that enhance traditional teaching methods. However, despite the increasing importance of virtual reality in education, a systematic description and classification of virtual reality use cases in education is still lacking. This limits the understanding and comparability of virtual reality use cases and highlights the need for a structured approach. This study asks the research question: How can virtual reality educational use cases, identified in the literature, be described, and classified? To classify these use cases, this study develops a state-of-the-art taxonomy. The taxonomy was developed in a combination of a conceptual-to-empirical and empirical-to-conceptual approach. The first stage to develop the taxonomy was based on a conceptual-to-empirical approach. Here, the concepts of virtual reality, use case and education serve as meta-characteristics and theoretical structure. To further detail the dimensions and characteristics, a systematic literature review was conducted by following a PRISMA-guided search and selection process. Therefore, the scientific databases Science Direct, AISel and Springer Link were used to search for studies between 2018 and 2023, obtaining a sample of 39 publications. As the conceptual-to-empirical approach did not richly describe the analysed virtual reality use cases from the studies, additional dimensions and characteristics were identified inductively. Therefore, a second iteration was conducted relating to the empirical-to-conceptual approach. This process explored the practical aspects of virtual reality scenarios and added applicable and practical characteristics to the initial theoretical foundation. The result is a comprehensive taxonomy of virtual reality use cases in education that contributes significantly to existing knowledge and provides a solid foundation for future research. The final taxonomy includes 17 dimensions and 37 characteristics. These findings can support educators to understand the nature of virtual reality use cases, enabling them to describe and implement such use cases effectively within educational settings.

Published: October 2023

Нові тенденції в освіті передбачають можливість навчання українських студентів у ЗВО інших країн так само, як і іноземні студенти мають змогу здобувати вищу освіту в Україні (так, Дніпропетровська державна медична академія має договори на навчання з країнами близького сходу: Ірак, Сирія, Ізраїль, Іорданія; країнами північної Африки: Туніс, Мароко; країнами середньої Азії: Казахстан, Туркменістан, а також, Індією, тощо). Враховуючи це, актуалізується наступне питання: як інтегрувати іноземного студента до іншого соціально-культурного простору, як допомогти засвоїти прийнятні цінності, норми, правила, традиції; як розвинути міжкультурну, комунікативну, творчу компетентність і як результат – забезпечити якісну фахову підготовку іноземного студента. Проблема адаптації іноземних студентів до навчання в ЗВО України (інших країн) входить в коло наукових інтересів багатьох дослідників, як вітчизняних так і зарубіжних. Зокрема, особливості соціокультурної адаптації, її критерії, стадії, чинники, що сприяють її успішності, ретельно досліджені психологами. Мета статті полягає в теоретичному аналізі особливостей адаптації іноземних студентів до навчання у ЗВО України (зокрема у ДДМА). Наведені дані свідчать, що ДДМА є тим освітнім закладом, де фундаментальні наукові знання є основою вищої освіти. А отже значно підвищується зацікавленість іноземних студентів в отриманні вищої фахової освіти безпосередньо в цьому ЗВО. Іноземний студент має адаптуватись одразу в декількох сферах: в соціальній, культурній, академічній. Адаптація в соціальній сфері передбачає встановлення неформальних соціальних зв’язків як з представниками своєї країни, які також навчаються в ДДМА, представниками України та інших країн.

Authors: Terence Nordiana , Ayub Norzihan , Kemong Patricia Joseph
Published: October 2023

Body image dissatisfaction or negative body image is closely related to psychological and cultural factors. The issue of body dissatisfaction becomes very important to university and college teenagers as well as adults, as this problem arises when they are too obsessed with weight satisfaction, weight anxiety and physical attraction. This issue can have a drastic impact on adolescent’s anxiety and self-esteem, due to the fact that when their weight does not reach the desired level, they will experience disorders such as depression, lack of self -esteem and eating problems. In Malaysia, the issue of image dissatisfaction, anxiety and self-esteem is increasing every year. This is because nowadays teenagers are too obsessed and fixated with body image that it affects their health. In addition, some communities also consider that body size and weight should be ideal according to the wishes of the cultural culture so many children and adolescents choose to stay slim in order to be accepted by their peers. These problems of dissatisfaction, anxiety and self-esteem are formed from cognitive, perceptual and behavioral aspects. The cognitive aspect explains how an individual thinks about himself; the perceptual aspect is seen through how other individuals assess their bodies and the behavioral aspect is also how individuals treat their bodies as desired. Thus, using the cognitive behavioral therapy intervention module can help individuals to change their assumptions and beliefs about the problem of body image dissatisfaction.

This study explores the prevalence and impact of foreign language anxiety (FLA) among Islamic degree students at a tertiary level institution in their English language learning journey. FLA is commonly characterized by uneasiness associated with learning a new or additional language and has been recognized as a psychological barrier in language learning. The study's primary objectives are to identify FLA levels among Islamic degree students and study the correlation between FLA and students' exam grades using the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS). Employing a quantitative approach, the study administered FLCAS questionnaires to 181 participants, and data analysis was conducted using SPSS. Results revealed that communication apprehension recorded the highest mean (3.43), signifying a high degree of anxiety among the respondents. Conversely, the remaining FLCAS components, namely test anxiety (mean = 3.20), fear of negative evaluation (mean = 3.40), and fear of English class (mean = 3.02), demonstrated an average level of anxiety. Overall, FLA among the Islamic degree students was generally rated at a moderate level (mean = 3.28). Furthermore, the subsequent correlation analysis between FLA and students' exam grades displayed a weak positive relationship (r = 0.184), suggesting that FLA may offer facilitative insights into language learning performance.

Leninopad po budziacku. Domeny symboliczne i pamięć na obszarze zamieszkanym przez mniejszość bułgarską w ukraińskim Budziaku
Authors: Lipiński Wojciech
Published: October 2023

Jednym z efektów rewolucji godności na Ukrainie (2013/2014) było usuwanie z przestrzeni publicznej pomników radzieckiej przeszłości, w tym pomników Lenina (tzw. leninopad). W 2015 roku Rada Najwyższa Ukrainy przyjęła ustawy dekomunizacyjne, na mocy których do demontażu takich pomników zostały zobligowane władze lokalne. W Budziaku, regionie leżącym na południowo-zachodnim krańcu Ukrainy, idea dekomunizacji przestrzeni publicznej nie zyskała społecznej akceptacji. Społeczności lokalne przeciwstawiały się usuwaniu pomników z czasów radzieckich. Gdy już do tego dochodziło, przedstawiciele zamieszkującej tam bułgarskiej mniejszości narodowej dążyli do stawiania nowych pomników postaci ważnych z perspektywy regionalnej pamięci i tożsamości. W efekcie proces rekonstrukcji przestrzeni symbolicznej w Budziaku doprowadził do wzmocnienia i rozbudowania bułgarskiej domeny symbolicznej.

PEMANFAATAN DEM-SRTM DAN DEM-NAS SEBAGAI DASAR SIMULASI HUJAN-DEBIT DI DAS KALIWADAS
Authors: Samatan Sukandi , Suprapto Heri
Published: October 2023

The accuracy of flow prediction in a watershed for water resource development is highly dependent on various factors such as the transformation model used, the availability and accuracy of hydrological data and watershed characteristics such as topography, drainage networks, land cover and soil texture. Watershed characteristics are considered as the most dominant determinants in various hydrological analyzes, especially with regard to the data used to compile the watershed model, in this case the Digital Elevatian Model (DEM) data. This study aims to develop a watershed model based on National DEM (DEMNAS) data to estimate daily discharge using the HEC-HMS model and design discharge using the Nakayasu Synthetic Unit Hydrograph (SUH) method. The research was conducted in the Kaliwadas watershed, which is located in Kandang Serang District, Pekalongan Regency, Central Java Province. Kaliwadas River is one of the sub-watersheds with a drainage area of approximately 165.78 km2 which has a good enough potential to supply hydro-based electricity. The performance of the DAS model formed with DEMNAS data is compared with the performance of the watershed model formed with the DEM Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data, where these two DEM data have a resolution of 8 meters and 90 meters, respectively. Performance testing is based on the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) number of the two predictive flow from the HEC-HMS Model to the observed discharge. The results showed that the estimated discharge of the HEC-HMS Model using the DEMNAS Watershed Model showed slightly better performance than using the SRTM DAS Model, with a RMSE difference of 0.27.

Penghentian Penyidikan dan Penuntutan Guna Mewujudkan Keadilan Restoratif
Authors: Konoras Isyana Kurniasari
Published: October 2023

Penyidikan sebagai tindakan penyidik untuk “mencari dan mengumpulkan bukti” serta “menemukan tersangkanya”, dan Penuntutan oleh Penuntut umum untuk “melimpahkan perkara ke pengadilan” adalah rangkaian atau proses awal yang berpotensi seorang menjadi tersangka dan terpidana. Hukum acara pidana dengan tugas, fungsi, dan kewenangan penyidikan dan penuntutan mewajibkan proses atau tahapan dilaksanakan. Namun, dinamika baru dalam hukum untuk mewujudkan keadilan restoratif (restorative justice) melalui mediasi penal, memungkinkan tindakan penyidikan dan penuntutan dihentikan demi hukum. Mediasi penal dengan penyelesaian perkara diluar pengadilan pada dasarnya adalah bentuk penguatan masyarakat sipil, sedangkan tindakan penyidikan dan penuntutan adalah tindakan yang dilakukan oleh penegak hukum atas nama negara. Penyidik maupun penuntut umum adalah personifikasi negara dengan kekuasaan dan kewenangannya yang besar dan tunggal.

Objetivo: Descrever o comportamento sexual dos indivíduos na ocasião do carnaval em um município do médio Araguaia. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e exploratório de abordagem quantitativa, realizado com 192 foliões de ambos os gêneros, com idade superior a 18 anos, no carnaval realizado no município de Barra do Garças, região da Amazônia legal, Mato Grosso – Brasil, no mês fevereiro de 2023. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso – Campus Universitário do Araguaia. Resultados: Dos participantes da pesquisa 84% declaram acreditar que durante o carnaval as pessoas não se previnem mais do em outras ocasiões, e 94% mencionam que durante o carnaval aumenta o risco de transmissão de Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST). Foi observado que 60% tiveram relações sob efeito de álcool e 11% sob efeito de outras drogas, no entanto, 29% declaram ter deixado de utilizar preservativo por ter ingerido bebida alcoólica. Considera-se que a responsabilidade pelo uso do preservativo, na maioria das vezes, ainda é do homem, tal fato evidencia que preservativo feminino não possui a mesma visibilidade quanto o masculino. Conclusões: Durante o carnaval, os indivíduos tornam-se ainda mais vulneráveis ao contágio de algum tipo de IST e AIDS.
