Like every other case of a pandemic that ever occurred, the COVID-19 pandemic has come with its lessons and implications to every aspect of life. In Asia, Europe and America, a considerable number of lives were claimed in the first two waves of the corona virus disease, while Africa, though predicted to suffer more loss, was relatively speared from enormous death rate. Nonetheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed how much the African continent needs to prepare for future pandemics. Across the globe, several efforts were made towards identifying the epidemiology, controlling the spread, treating the infected, discovering and developing drugs or vaccines, as well as producing medical devices. In Africa, researchers were on their toes to maximize available resources and facilities to support government policies and ensure optimum safety of lives from the infectious disease. Therefore, this paper focuses on the more notable impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on sub-Saharan Africa, while simultaneously highlighting the efforts that were made by researches, the government, individuals and other policy makers in mitigating the negative effect on human lives.

Published: December 2022

Abstract. In the recent decade it became evident that we need to revise our picture of how gravity waves (GWs) reach the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). This has consequences for our understanding not just of the properties of the GWs themselves, but in particular of the global circulation in the MLT. Information on spectral distribution, direction, and zonal mean GW momentum flux is required to test the theoretical and modeling findings.
In this study, we propose a constellation of two CubeSats for observing mesoscale GWs in the MLT region by means of temperature limb sounding in order to derive such constraints. Each CubeSat deploys a highly miniaturized spatial heterodyne interferometer (SHI) for the measurement of global oxygen atmospheric band emissions. From these emissions, the 3-D temperature structure can be inferred. We propose obtaining four independent observation tracks by splitting the interferograms in the center and thus gaining two observation tracks for each satellite. We present a feasibility study of this concept based on self-consistent, high-resolution global model data. This yields a full chain of end-to-end (E2E) simulations incorporating (1) orbit simulation, (2) airglow forward modeling, (3) tomographic temperature retrieval, (4) 3-D wave analysis, and (5) GW momentum flux (GWMF) calculation. The simulation performance is evaluated by comparing the retrieved zonal mean GWMF with that computed directly from the model wind data. A major question to be considered in our assessment is the minimum number of tracks required for the derivation of 3-D GW parameters. The main result from our simulations is that the GW polarization relations are still valid in the MLT region and can thus be employed for inferring GWMF from the 3-D temperature distributions. Based on the E2E simulations for gaining zonal mean climatologies of GW momentum flux, we demonstrate that our approach is robust and stable, given a four-track observation geometry and the expected instrument noise under nominal operation conditions. Using phase speed and direction spectra we show also that the properties of individual wave events are recovered when employing four tracks. Finally, we discuss the potential of the proposed observations to address current topics in the GW research. We outline for which investigations ancillary data are required to answer science questions.
Subsurface oxygen maximum in oligotrophic marine ecosystems: mapping the interaction between physical and biogeochemical processes
Authors: Di Biagio Valeria , Salon Stefano , Feudale Laura , Cossarini Gianpiero
Published: December 2022

Abstract. The subsurface oxygen maximum (SOM) is observed in
oligotrophic oceans and is associated with different physical and biological
processes. This study characterizes the SOM in the Mediterranean Sea at the
basin scale and investigates its driving mechanisms by analysing the output
of the 1/24∘ resolution biogeochemical reanalysis provided by the
Copernicus Marine Service for the 1999–2019 time period. We validated the
model-derived oxygen concentration in the epipelagic layer at different
spatial and temporal scales, including novel process comparisons with
estimates from in situ observations. Moreover, using Biogeochemical Argo
(BGC-Argo) float observations, we estimated the model uncertainty in
reproducing the SOM concentration and depth in summer (13 mmol O2 m−3 and 13 m, respectively). The western and eastern Mediterranean Sea
depicts different SOM signatures in summer, with higher oxygen values and
shallower depths in the western Mediterranean. The concentrations and depths
(in the ranges of 230–250 mmol O2 m−3 and 30–100 m, respectively)
are in agreement with the estimations from the literature and show mesoscale
variability patterns. The western Mediterranean also shows a stronger
biological activity, specifically oxygen production and consumption, along
the whole epipelagic layer and higher oxygen concentrations at the surface
throughout the year, but heavy undersaturated waters are associated with
winter deep convection in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea. A 1-year
analysis conducted on selected areas that are representative of the
heterogeneity of summer SOM highlighted that the SOM can actually be
sustained by biological production (as in northwestern Mediterranean areas),
or it can be a residual of the confinement of spring production (as in the
central Ionian area) and vertical motions influence its depth (as in the
Levantine subduction area).
SCAN TO HBIM FOR COMPLEX REFLECTIVE METAL ARTEFACTS. 3D DIGITISATION AND RESTORATION
Authors: Lanzara E. , Catello D. , Casciello M.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. 3D digitisation of metal artefacts, regardless of the use of passive and active sensors and low or high costs technologies (digital photogrammetry, laser scanning, structured light 3D scanning) represents a challenge above all due to the high reflectivity, absorptivity and scattering of the materials, as documented by the specialistic literature (Frost et al., 2020, Hallot et al., 2019, Nicolae et al., 2014). Regardless of the size and material, mobility and immobility of the elements, artworks preservation and restoration involve intervention and collaboration between different specialists, such as restorers, conservators, diagnosts, architects, surveyors, modelers, archaeologists and art historians. This multidisciplinary process requires a virtual container aimed at systematisation and sharing of digital products and data deriving from heterogeneous diagnostic and applicative activities (Farella et al. 2022, Ferretti et al. 2022, Fiamma 2019). According to these premises, this paper shows a low-cost Scan to HBIM process aimed at digitisation of a complex reflective metal artefact, an altar frontal composed of several pieces characterized by different metal materials, functions, sizes and topological complexity (level of decorative detail). Therefore, this system is approached considering its individual components and its morphological-compositional complexity as a unique piece. The entire process has been tested both in research and didactic field, using low-cost tools for acquisition (cameras, smartphones, computers) and software open source for processing, filtering, editing and sculpting digital photogrammetric copies of highly reflective artefacts.
LOW-COST MAPPING OF FOREST UNDER-STOREY VEGETATION USING SPHERICAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY
Authors: Murtiyoso A. , Hristova H. , Rehush N. , Griess V. C.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. This paper is an attempt to respond to the growing need and demand of 3D data in forestry, especially for 3D mapping. The use of terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) dominates contemporary literature for under-storey vegetation mapping as this technique provides precise and easy-to-use solutions for users. However, TLS requires substantial investments in terms of device acquisition and user training. The search for and development of low-cost alternatives is therefore an interesting field of inquiry. Here, we use low-cost 360° cameras combined with spherical photogrammetric principles for under-storey vegetation mapping. While we fully assume that this low-cost approach will not generate results on par with either TLS or classical close-range photogrammetry, its main aim is to investigate whether this alternative is sufficient to meet the requirements of forest mapping. In this regard, geometric analyses were conducted using both TLS and close-range photogrammetry as comparison points. The diameter at breast height (DBH), a parameter commonly used in forestry, was then computed from the 360° point cloud using three different methods to determine if a similar order of precision to the two reference datasets can be obtained. The results show that 360° cameras were able to generate point clouds with a similar geometric quality as the references despite their low density, albeit with a significantly higher amount of noise. The effect of the noise is also evident in the DBH computation, where it yielded an average error of 3.5 cm compared to both the TLS and close-range photogrammetry.
3D DIGITALIZATION AND VISUALIZATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL ARTIFACTS WITH THE USE OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND VIRTUAL REALITY SYSTEM
Authors: Condorelli F. , Bonetto J.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Digital technologies are increasingly being used in the field of archaeology to provide three-dimensional metric information to scholars and help them in the process of understanding and interpreting the site under investigation. Among different surveying methods certainly photogrammetry has many advantages being a low cost, reliable and fast technique, but most importantly it allows the creation of realistic and interactive 3D models that can be viewed and interpreted by a wider audience. This certainly makes the enjoyment of sites easier and makes data accessible from anywhere. This study shows three particularly significant case studies in the archaeological field where photogrammetry has served as support. These case studies are representative of specific situations in which archaeology requires digitization of artefacts. The first one concerns the Temple of Apollo in Gortyn (Crete, Greece), the second one is the ancient city of Nora (Sardinia, Italy) and the third one is the Museo Civico of Eremitani in Padua (Italy). The paper explains how 3D metric surveying has served for the representation and analysis of stratigraphic sections of buildings in the case of the Gortyn site, for the creation of virtual tours of archaeological sites in the case of Nora, and for the documentation and visualization of small artifacts in the case of the Museo Civico of Eremitani by highlighting potentials and criticalities of the method.
3D EDGE DETECTION AND COMPARISON USING FOUR-CHANNEL IMAGES
Authors: Betsas T. , Georgopoulos A.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Point cloud segmentation, is a widespread field of research and it is useful in several research topics and applications such as 3D point cloud analysis, scene understanding, semantic segmentation etc. Architectural vector drawings constitute a valuable platform source for scientists and craftsmen while the production of such drawings is time-consuming because many of the creation steps are done manually. Detecting 3D edges in point clouds could provide useful information for the automation of the creation of 3D architectural vector drawings. Hence, a 3D edge detection method is proposed and evaluated with a proof-of-concept experiment and another one using a professional software. The scope of this effort is twofold, firstly the production of semantically enriched 3D dense point clouds exploiting four-channel images in order to detect 3D edges and secondly the comparison of the detected 3D edges with their corresponding edges in a textured 3D model. Comparing 3D edges in the early step of the 3D dense point cloud production and in the final step of 3D textured mesh, provides useful conclusions of the data used for the automatic creation of 3D drawings. Both of the experiments i.e., the proof-of-concept and using the professional SfM-MVS software were conducted using real world data of cultural heritage objects.
Predicting power ramps from joint distributions of future wind speeds
Authors: Muschinski Thomas , Lang Moritz N. , Mayr Georg J. , Messner Jakob W. , Zeileis Achim , Simon Thorsten
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Power ramps are sudden changes in turbine power and must be accurately predicted to minimize costly imbalances in the electrical grid. Doing so requires reliable wind speed forecasts, which can be obtained from ensembles of physical numerical weather prediction (NWP) models through statistical postprocessing. Since the probability of a ramp event depends jointly on the wind speed distributions forecasted at multiple future times, these postprocessing methods must not only correct each individual forecast but also estimate the temporal dependencies among them. Typically though, crucial dependencies are adopted directly from the raw ensemble, and the postprocessed forecast is limited to the tens of members computationally feasible for an NWP model. We extend statistical postprocessing to include temporal dependencies using novel multivariate Gaussian regression models that forecast 24-dimensional distributions of next-day hourly wind speeds at three offshore wind farms. The continuous joint distribution forecast is postprocessed from an NWP ensemble using flexible generalized additive models for the components of its mean vector μ and for parameters defining the forecast error covariance matrix Σ. Modeling these parameters on predictors which characterize the empirical joint distribution of the NWP ensemble allows forecasts for each hour and their temporal dependencies to be adjusted in one step. Wind speed ensembles of any size can be simulated from the postprocessed joint distribution and transformed into power for computing high-resolution ramp predictions that outperform state-of-the-art reference methods.
Focus on nursing point-of-care tools: application of a new evaluation rubric
Authors: Nickum Annie , Johnson-Barlow Emily , Raszewski Rebecca , Rafferty Ryan
Published: December 2022

Objective: Point-of-care tools (PoCTs) provide evidence-based information on patient care and procedures at the time of need. Registered nurses have unique practice needs, and many PoCTs are marketed to support their practice. However, there is little reported evidence in the literature about evaluating nursing-focused PoCTs
Case Presentation: The investigators developed a rubric containing evaluation criteria based on content, coverage of nursing topics, transparency of the evidence, user perception, and customization of PoCTs for supporting nursing practice. The investigators selected five PoCTs cited in the literature and of interest to local nursing leadership: ClinicalKey for Nursing, DynaMed, Lippincott’s Advisor and Procedures, Nursing Reference Center Plus, and UpToDate. Application of the rubric found Lippincott had the highest coverage of diagnoses, while ClinicalKey for Nursing had strong content focused on interventions and outcomes. Nursing Reference Center Plus provided the most well-rounded coverage of nursing terminology and topics. DynaMed and UpToDate were more transparent with indicating conflict of interest, but both had lower coverage of nursing terminology, content, and care processes.  
Conclusion: None of the five PoCTs strongly met all of the evaluated criteria. The rubric developed for this study highlights each PoCT’s strengths and weaknesses that can then be used to inform the decision-making process based on priorities and budget. The investigators recommend licensing a nursing PoCT and a PoCT like DynaMed or UpToDate to provide comprehensive, evidence-based, patient care coverage and to meet the diverse information needs of nurses.

The objective of this study is to identify to what extent, the waiting queue system of the banking system has a significant impact on customer satisfaction along with testing how and why a long length of time in the queue system is necessary for every customer. This study has constructed a structured interview comprised of twelve (12) components; to get exact information and perception from customers of Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam (BIBD) Berhad. This structured interview consists of five main different segments of questions; Branch Appearance, Branch Staff, Digital Banking, Call Center, and General Questions. This study develops a convenience sampling technique for the sample above 18 years of holding and a valid bank account. The construct analysis through mediation regression analysis is used to elaborate on analytic scores such as written numbers, equations, and figures without any kind of analytical diagrams for BIBD Islamic bank customers. The results of this study describe that all the variables are statistically significant to expect two variables such as banking services and digital banking. Whereas, most domestic and foreign customers are not satisfied with this waiting queue system. This study is unique in its nature and domain as we didn’t find any comprehensive study on this topic in the context of BIBD bank customers’ perceptions regarding the waiting queue system inside and outside of the bank.

Abstract— This study aims to analyze the use of social media during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research location was in the West Java Province which was limited to four districts, representing four agricultural ecosystem zones, namely Bogor, Sukabumi, Ciamis, and Indramayu Regencies. The research samples consisted of 216 field agricultural extension agents spread across the four districts. Data analysis used descriptive statistical analysis. The results showed that the highest level of agricultural extension agents' social media account ownership was on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. In seeking information about agriculture, the extension workers most commonly used YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. The extension agents mostly used WhatsApp for the dissemination of agricultural informationKeywords— Social media, agricultural extension agent, Covid-19

During the rain period, high discharge of water in marshland caused by uncontrolled runoff from the catchment causes floods lead to the reduction of agricultural command area which decreases the crop production and leads to unemployment for farmers, malnutrition and hunger. At other hand, in dry period, the marshland does not produce optimally due to lack of water to supplement the natural moisture. The harvesting of the water will permit the cultivation in all three agricultural seasons.In this project, the rainfall data from METEO- RWANDA were used for getting the rainfall intensity in the catchment. The experiment such as geotechnical test was done for hydraulic structures stability; the topographic survey was done for getting the catchment area and slope of channel which will be needed in the hydraulic design.   The use of combined data helped to get the durable solution of the flooding in the marshland and provided effective irrigation in the marshland. Rainfall considered in design were calculated by considering rainfall data of the past 40 years and dependability of 50%. By using a tabulated data representation method, the required dependable annually average rainfall value was found at 20th year which is 1228.5mm.The area of the catchment: Delineation of catchment was done using the Arc GIS, the outlet was taken at the end of channel with the coordinates (Longitude: 29.795 o, Latitude: -2.216 o) and the catchment area was found to be 38.68 hectares. According to the characteristic of watershed where the soil is sand, the slope is 15.3%, and vegetable cover, the runoff coefficient was 0.58 and runoff volume calculated by using rational equation 275,606.604m3 (inflows per year).By considering that the water requirement of pepper selected as suitable crop in the marshland for 10hactares, by considering water evaporation and that the agriculture will be done in all three seasons of the year by using the Peak sequent method, the minimum capacity requirement of the reservoir was calculated to be 17300 cum. For the safety of slope issues the allowable height is 11.4m. After the design, the reservoir has height of 7m, bottom width of 30m and bottom length of 60m.

The cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) is an invasive plant in arid areas. The realization of several researches on the physico-chemical properties of its cladodes and fruits encourages their valuation in a new source of energy. In addition, the Opuntia ficus indica is a medicinal plant but also could be a source of a new material such as plastic, leather, etc. In our study, we aim to assess the bioethanol potential of different parts of the Opuntia ficus indica from Madagascar. For this production, we used several processes such as reducing raw materials, grinding, gelling, fermentation and distillation. The results of this study bring us to say that we can obtain bioethanol from the Opuntia ficus indica: a 16° bioethanol from its cladodes and a 49° bioethanol from its fruits. Nevertheless, in order to be able to commercialize this product, improvements such as rectification are needed.
