Exploring factors affecting astro-tourism development in Tanzania
Authors: Batinoluho Ladislaus
Published: August 2024

Factors affecting astro-tourism development in Tanzania have not been well established.  The country has several national parks, and conservation areas, and its proximity to the equatorial location, make Tanzania a competitive destination for astro-tourism in Africa. Astro-tourism has the potential to impact on the local developing economies such as Tanzania. However, the factors that make Tanzania continue to lag in positioning itself as an astro-tourism destination are unknown. This study was conducted in Tanzania using qualitative and quantitative methods, involving 196 respondents who were purposively sampled and later on, randomly drawn from a population of over 1912 tourism stakeholders. The few available astro-tourism professionals operate in silos and are not coordinated. Tanzania lacks tourist observatories, and none of the major tourism players, including Hotel Association of Tanzania, Tanzania Association of Tour operators, and Tanzania Tour Guides Association offer astro-tourism services. Overall, majority of Tanzania’s visitors said they would return if there were new tourist offers. Similarly, majority of the inbound visitors expressed willingness to return if Tanzania embraces astro-tourism. Conversely, majority of the domestic visitors seemed that were not aware of astro-tourism as one of the tourist products. Future research may focus on profiling astronomical cultural heritage in Tanzania.

Experimental Evaluation of Photovoltaic Water Heater System under Wasit-Iraq Climate Conditions
Authors: Hussein Baneen Atta , Mahdi Emad Jaleel , Al‐Hamadani Ali Abdulruda Farhan
Published: August 2024

Over the past ten years, Iraq's population growth has resulted in a significant rise in energy consumption. Households can save money and the environment by utilizing less energy received from the grid and more renewable energy. One of the solar photovoltaic energy applications is solar heating water by converting solar energy to thermal energy by relying only on the heating element with direct current as an electrical load connected directly to the photovoltaic panels. It works without using: other heating elements operating with alternating current, an additional electric heater (dependent on the grid that is used to compensate for the shortage in the event of an additional need for hot water), and control units. That is for easy application, reduced losses in energy conversion and make it cheaper. In this research, a photovoltaic solar energy system with a capacity of (2160) W with (1500) a DC heater element was built. To heat water in a tank with a capacity of 120 liters, the performance of a Direct-coupled Photovoltaic Water Heater (DPVWH) was evaluated on December cold days for solar radiation rates at site coordinates (32°.514 N - 45°.819 E) in Wasit –Iraq. It has been recorded the highest values of the water temperature inside the tank, power solar radiation, and power generated, on 8/Dec./2023 without consuming water were 103 °C, 5989 watts, and 1170 watts, respectively. On 15/Dec./2023 consuming water equaled 202.01 liters at a flow rate of 2 L/m, the highest values of the water temperature inside the tank, power solar radiation, and power generated were 56.25 ˚C, 5135 watts, and 1259 watts. The system has been compared with another similar system and with STWH system, it was found that the photovoltaic system can be adopted as a direct source of water heating for domestic and other applications in the summer season, so the system can be invested all year round, unlike STWH systems that are limited to use only in winter.

Authors: Oliveira Ivan , Ribeiro Fernando José da Silva Paiva , Tironi Luís Fernando , Nonnenberg Marcelo , Carneiro Flavio Lyrio , Oliveira Glauco Avelino Sampaio
Published: August 2024

Exports are one of the main economic growth inducers and will certainly play an important role in the Brazilian economic recovery after overcoming the most critical period of the new coronavirus pandemic. The country faces not only the challenge of increasing its exports, but also of diversifying and making them less dependent on a limited set of commodities. The Brazilian industrial sector’s competitive difficulties and proposals to overcome them have been exhaustively discussed for several years. And the post-pandemic scenario tends to be even more challenging for the sector. This article provides an overview of the current situation and a brief diagnosis of some major policy issues associated with exports. It also contains suggestions and recommendations for sustaining exports during the crisis caused by covid-19 and stimulating their growth and diversification in the post-pandemic period. The topics discussed include: export credit and promotion, agricultural goods exports, technical standards, the multilateral framework of international trade regulation, and trade agreement negotiations. The proposals presented here have both a short-term focus, for the post-covid-19 recovery period, and a medium and long-term perspective, addressing more structural issues related to the country’s international insertion.
Um Plano de recuperação verde para a Amazônia: benefícios regionais, nacionais e mundiais
Authors: Alvares Ticiana de Oliveira , Rodrigues Marcela Cardoso , Narita Beatriz Sakuma
Published: August 2024

Em 2020, com a emergência da crise sanitária provocada pela covid-19 e a necessidade de forte intervenção estatal a fim de conter o vírus e o agravamento da crise socioeconômica, planos/programas de desenvolvimento ganharam urgência e intensidade. Ao mesmo tempo, a pauta climática ganha relevância em decorrência de fenômenos cada vez mais frequentes que acumulam mortes e prejuízos sociais, ambientais e econômicos nos quatro cantos do planeta. Na tentativa de realizar políticas públicas de caráter regional e levando em consideração os desafios socioeconômicos e ambientais, o Consórcio de Governadores da Amazônia Legal elaborou e lançou o Plano de Recuperação Verde da Amazônia Legal (PRV), uma proposta de desenvolvimento regional para a Amazônia. Este artigo pretende contribuir para o debate do desenvolvimento regional, focando a região da Amazônia Legal, associado ao debate da segurança climática, no contexto das crises mundial e brasileira. Argumenta-se que, descolado de um projeto nacional, os esforços regionais carecem de maior esforço de unidade com amplas forças e setores nacionais e internacionais e, neste sentido, o Consórcio de Governadores da Amazônia Legal e o seu PRV são exemplos do uso da paradiplomacia para desenvolvimento regional.

O Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade do Ministério da Saúde (SIM/MS) é uma das principais fontes de dados para se aferir mortes violentas e, em particular, homicídios no Brasil. No entanto, entre 1996 e 2021, ocorreram 294.752 óbitos violentos em que a causa não foi definida (ou 8,7% do total de mortes violentas do país). O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a parcela desses óbitos que foram ocasionados por homicídios. A metodologia adotada no trabalho baseou-se em um modelo de aprendizado supervisionado (machine learning), em que o padrão probabilístico de características pessoais e situacionais para cada tipo de evento – se homicídio ou se suicídio/acidente – foi aprendido. Nossas estimativas indicaram haver no período 128.567 homicídios ocultos, ou homicídios não registrados oficialmente como tal. Segundo nossos achados, em média, a cada ano, 4.492 homicídios deixaram de ser registrados. Esse problema parece ser mais grave em quatro Unidades Federativas, a saber: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia e Minas Gerais.

The Arts, Theology, and the Primal Imagination in the African Context: A Preliminary Exploration of Their Relationship
Authors: Settles Joshua D.
Published: August 2024

Christian Theology and the Arts have a long and complicated relationship, ranging from suspicion to cooperation. Over the centuries, this relationship has taken various forms, with the Arts becoming increasingly estranged from Christian Theology, especially the evangelical Protestant theology that so influenced the missionaries who evangelized Africa in the 19th century. This, combined with a deep suspicion of African primal cultures and spirituality, has led to a disconnect between the Christian faith and the various Arts that are so much a part of the fabric of African life. This article used a historical survey to examine the relationship between religion and the Arts, then dilated on the consequences of this history to understand the relationship between Christian thought and the Arts in Africa. Overall, the article provides an initial foray for the nature of this relationship and also points towards some possibilities of mutual enrichment.

The recent discovery of a manuscript written by Xavier Durrieu sheds light on how the “spirit alphabet” system was used to translate table-taps into words and sentences during these shared sessions. Furthermore, the Durrieu manuscript offers a method for analyzing how truncated and incomplete responses of the table were developed not just by Hugo but also by several members of the French
proscrit
community. This article proposes to reconsider the table-turning procès-verbaux from a wider viewpoint, arguing that a collective experience of exile, manifesting in the forms of physical disembodiment and political unease in Hugo’s entourage, lies at the heart of interpreting the table’s texts.

The Lunar Mineral Spectrometer (LMS), on board the Chang’E-5 (CE-5) lander obtained the in situ spectra of the sampling area close to the Moon’s local noon. This provides an opportunity to investigate the meter-scale thermophysical properties and temperature distribution of the lunar surface. We established a new thermal correction method using the laboratory-measured spectra of CE-5 samples in this study. The surface temperature of the CE-5 sampling area was derived by applying this new method to LMS in situ data. The temperature of the flat lunar surface estimated by LMS is very close to that of Diviner data. The temperature estimated by Diviner probably represents the temperature characteristic of a flat lunar surface. The characteristic of meter-scale temperature distribution within the CE-5 sampling area was also discussed. This is essential to understanding the influence of the microscale landforms and roughness on the thermal and physical characteristics of the lunar surface.

We present a population-level analysis of the dayside thermal emission spectra of 19 planets observed with Hubble WFC3 and Spitzer IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 μm, spanning equilibrium temperatures 1200–2700 K and 0.7–10.5 Jupiter masses. We use grids of planet-specific 1D, cloud-free, radiative–convective–thermochemical equilibrium models (1D-RCTE) combined with a Bayesian inference framework to estimate atmospheric metallicity, the carbon-to-oxygen ratio, and day-to-night heat redistribution. In general, we find that the secondary eclipse data cannot reject the physics encapsulated within the 1D-RCTE assumption parameterized with these three variables. We find a large degree of scatter in atmospheric metallicities, with no apparent trend, and carbon-to-oxygen ratios that are mainly consistent with solar or subsolar values but do not exhibit population agreement. Together, these indicate either (1) formation pathways vary over the hot and ultra-hot Jupiter population and/or (2) more accurate composition measurements are needed to identify trends. We also find a broad scatter in derived dayside temperatures that do not demonstrate a trend with equilibrium temperature. Like with composition estimates, this suggests either significant variability in climate drivers over the population and/or more precise dayside temperature measurements are needed to identify a trend. We anticipate that 1D-RCTE models will continue to provide valuable insights into the nature of exoplanet atmospheres in the era of JWST.

We report long-baseline interferometric observations with the CHARA Array that resolve six previously known double-lined spectroscopic binary systems in the Hyades cluster, with orbital periods ranging from 3 to 358 days: HD 27483, HD 283882, HD 26874, HD 27149, HD 30676, and HD 28545. We combine those observations with new and existing radial-velocity measurements, to infer the dynamical masses for the components as well as the orbital parallaxes. For most stars, the masses are determined to be better than 1%. Our work significantly increases the number of systems with mass determinations in the cluster. We find that, while current models of stellar evolution for the age and metallicity of the Hyades are able to reproduce the overall shape of the empirical mass–luminosity relation, they overestimate the V-band fluxes by about 0.1 mag between 0.5 and 1.4 M
⊙. The disagreement is smaller in H, and near zero in K, and depends somewhat on the model. We also make use of the TESS light curves to estimate rotation periods for our targets, and detect numerous flares in one of them (HD 283882), estimating an average flaring rate of 0.44 events per day.

The paper presents an extensive dataset of the shallow-reef fish communities and habitat characteristics in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago (SW Atlantic). The data was collected from August to October of 2006 in the Fernando de Noronha main island, which belongs to the Brazilian Oceanic Islands - PELD/ILOC (https://deims.org/030bec0b-f6ac-4840-b226-af813258b14b). To evaluate the shallow-reef fish communities, 165 visual censuses were performed in eight different localities in the Fernando de Noronha Island.

The dataset reports a comprehensive compilation of the shallow reef fish abundance, of eight localities of the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago. The dataset reveals spatial heterogeneity among the selected localities in terms of fish abundance, composition and size.

Published: August 2024

This article investigates alternate fuel options for Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs), focusing on thorium use to address safety, efficiency, and waste issues associated with standard UO2 fuel. Challenges in thorium utilization, such as the lack of a fissile isotope, are handled using approaches such as homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous arrangements, promoting the exploration of (Th-233U-235U)O2 fuel in various assembly configurations. According to recent research, the annular dual-cooled assembly design has promising results in terms of fuel efficiency and safety while lowering the requirement for higher fissile enrichment levels. Studies additionally demonstrate that annular dual-cooled duplex fuel configurations can produce higher discharge burnup and lower power peaking factors than traditional UO2 fuel. The purpose of this work is to analyze and compare the performance of (Th-233U-235U)O2 fuel in various configurations against conventional UO2 fuel, focusing on key characteristics such as reactivity change, criticality, discharge burnups, and reactivity feedback coefficients.

The metaverse, which is considered to be the next evolutionary stage of the Internet, has captured the attention of both academia and industry. Its primary goal is to establish a shared 3D virtual space that interconnects all virtual worlds through the Internet. In this shared space, users are represented as digital avatars, enabling them to communicate, interact with each other, and engage with the virtual environment as if they were in the physical world. However, realizing the full potential of the metaverse poses significant challenges, such as the requirement for higher throughput compared to current social VR platforms and the need to minimize latency to just a few milliseconds to uphold a truly immersive user experience. Caching is a critical aspect of optimizing data access on the current Internet, and it is equally crucial for addressing similar challenges in Web 3.0 and the metaverse. This paper explores different caching strategies suggested to address these challenges on the current Internet and assesses their potential relevance to the metaverse. Caching strategies are categorized into three groups: web caching, mobile caching, and Internet of Things (IoT) caching. Recent solutions are then examined to determine their relevance to the metaverse. Finally, the paper discusses open research challenges and potential future research directions in this domain.
