EFFECT OF MAN-MADE STRUCTURES ON NATURAL WETLANDS IN PAKISTAN: A CASE STUDY OF CHOTIARI RESERVOIR
Authors: Saeed Fizah , us Saqib Najam , Aziz Tarique
Published: January 2023

Chotiari was a natural wetland before the construction of the reservoir. In 1994 wetland was converted into a reservoir to develop a water source for the people. But due to lack of proper attention this reservoir promoted waterlogging and salinity problems instead. The goal of this study is to investigate the variation that occurred on the land cover of the Chotiari wetland and surrounding area, before and after the construction of the reservoir. Satellite images of Chotiari reservoir and its buffer up to 5 km area of 1990 and 2019 were taken. The study was conducted at USPCASW (United States Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Water) Mehran University of Engineering and Technology Jamshoro. In the study, compositing was done by GIS (Geographical Information Systems) to join the bands of images of 1990 and 2019 for observing changes. After extracting the required shapefile of the Chotiari reservoir and its buffer, unsupervised classification was done for three classes: water, vegetation, and barren land. The difference in areas of water, vegetation, and barren land was calculated by superimposing both the images and joining all the bands of Landsat 5 image and Landsat 9 image. By comparing results of both years, a 12% increase in water availability was found whereas 8% and 4% net reduction was found in both vegetation and barren land, respectively. The main reason behind the increment of water quantity might be the construction of a reservoir. Moreover, it also affected the 5 km buffer area around the reservoir which resulted in a 9% reduction in water, 11% increment in vegetation, and 2% drop in the barren land.

Water purification for human consumption purposes consists in the removal of different contaminants as chemicals (i.e., pollutants, toxic metals), biological contaminants (algae, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses), suspended solids, and gases. But we will use simple method to clean water which has algae, parasites activities, etc. by simple gravel, sand, and earthen materials. Filtration is the process in which the solid particles are removed in a liquid or gaseous fluid are removed by use of filter medium. And control the amount of TDS, EC, pH, and other parameters. We applied simple law of physics that is gravity. We filtered the wastewater from tube containing layer of earthen materials and lastly, we filtered the semi cleaned water from UV membranes (Nano membrane). We used three boxes in which 1st box had small gravels and in other 2nd box had sand and charcoal passed through water from these medium and final products collect in 3rd box and checked the different medias of water. This experiment was performed with different sources of water, and this gave good results with good efficiency of medias like TDS, EC, PH etc. this experiment is performed with low income and with the help of natural coagulants.

Published: January 2023

Sediment related disaster is the most significant natural disaster in Malaysia and many countries in this world from the perspective of magnitude, damage and loss to human life and infrastructure as well as disruption to socio-economic activities. Debris, mud flood, landslide and cliff failure are some of the major catastrophic problems and became a history for the country especially Cameron Highlands in a state of Pahang. As rainfall is the main culprit to sediment-related disaster occurrences, therefore the rainfall data is very crucial to be used in the correlation of the occurred events. Due to that fact, several studies worldwide have been made to estimate critical rainfall conditions and this being useful to draw the benchmark to predict the occurrences of the landslide specifically for DMF and shallow landslides. This paper discussed the development of the rainfall threshold in Malaysia by compiling the framework of the threshold to determine the lesson learned as well as the way forward. As Malaysia needs to move at a faster pace towards embracing the whole aspects in determining the threshold as well to implement it into the operational threshold, therefore the first step is very important to initiate the momentum while the collaboration or networking among government agencies in National Disaster Risk Reduction (DDR) should be enhanced and strengthened.

Taiwan’s Social and Economic Challenges
Authors: Neszmélyi György Iván
Published: January 2023

When we read or talk about Taiwan, we attribute a number of ideas and thoughts about a distant island from Europe which was one of the well-known East Asian economic miracles, the so-called Asian new industrialized economies (ANIEs), together with Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Republic of Korea (ROK). The rich bibliography describing and analyzing the background of the spectacular economic development of these economies also mentioned these famous fours as tigers, dragons and ANICs (Asian newly industrialized countries). No need to say, the latter is not punctual, as Hong Kong—contrary to Singapore and the ROK—is not a country, but since 1997, a special administrative region (SAR) of the People’s Republic of China. Moreover, with the exception of a few countries, Taiwan is also not recognized as an independent state, but as a part of China. Members of the European Union and all other significant powers in the world consider Taiwan as an important entity in terms of its economic performance, and in fact, with its own currency and financial and corporate system, Taiwan has its own economy, but in the international political arena, Taiwan is not considered as an independent entity. It is radically different, than it was before the early 1970s, when Taiwan, the so-called Republic of China, represented China in the United Nations’ Security Council. So, for several decades now, Taiwan has to act in international isolation in terms of political relations, but in terms of trade, business, sports, culture, education, and many other fields, it developed a wide range of cooperation with most countries of the world.The relations between Taiwan and the “Mainland”, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have also undergone important changes. Even though Beijing considers Taiwan as a renegade province, the trade and investment relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait became intensive. The PRC needs semiconductors and other state of art technologies while Taiwan needs growing export market opportunities. Nowadays, PRC is far the biggest trade partner of Taiwan, by and large 30-40 percent of the Taiwanese export is purchased by the PRC.The economic ties became really strong, therefore, contrary to militant rhetoric of politicians, PRC has no interest to get the control back over Taiwan by military force, unless the government in Taipei declares its independence.

Introduction. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases of the genitourinary system in men. Severe symptoms of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTS), which develop with BPH, worsen the quality of life. Prophylactic examinations, dynamic monitoring and necessary treatment: conservative (nonpharmacological and pharmacological treatment) or surgical treatment are necessary to control the course of the disease. Bioregulatory peptides can be used for early control of LUTS. The aim of the work was to assess the efficacy of early diagnosis and adherence to drug prophylaxis of BPH development and progression using different methods including bioregulatory peptides. Materials and methods. Data of the clinical examination and periodic medical examinations of 1675 men who were enrolled in the program «Complex of measures to increase the efficiency of early diagnostics of BPH and increase adherence to medical prophylaxis of BPH development and progression» were analyzed. After full clinical examination, depending on indications, patients were recommended surgical or conservative treatment – non-medication (behavioral) or medication (α1-adrenoblockers + muscarinic receptor antagonists, 5α-reductase inhibitors or Vitaprost preparations). The patients were observed for 4 years. Efficacy and safety of the use of bioregulatory peptides (Vitaprost®) in patients with BPH and LUTS were compared with the results of treatment in patients who chose behavioral therapy (active observation). Results. Behavioral therapy was used in 221 patients with mild to moderate symptoms, 312 patients were prescribed Vitaprost® Forte and Vitaprost® tablets. Active observation was more often chosen by patients of the youngest group (40-44 years). During Vitaprost® application there were improved IPSS questionnaire indexes, maximal urination rate increased, residual urine volume and prostate volume decreased. Worsening and increase of severity of complaints, according to IPSS questionnaire, decrease of maximum urinary flow rate and increase of residual urine volume and prostate volume were registered in actively observed group of patients. Conclusions. Timely initiation of therapy with Vitaprost® Forte and Vitaprost® tablets in patients with BPH has a favorable efficacy and safety profile. Further analysis of the data received as a result of the regional program is supposed to be carried out to evaluate its results.

Authors:   The Korean Tea Society, Jeong Hyeon Goo
Published: January 2023

This study examines the American tea culture and tea consumption patterns in the United States, analyzing development patterns of modern American tea culture, as well as trends and factors influencing tea imports and consumption. First, tea consumption in the United States in the first half of the 20th century increased at the same level or slightly higher than in the previous century despite population growth. Second, tea consumption increased dramatically due to the Prohibition Act in the 1920s and black tea particularly increased rather than green tea as more tea was imported from India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia than from China and Japan due to the influence of the Pacific War and the Korean War in the 1940s and the 1950s respectively. Third, iced tea, which existed before the 20th century, was initially made of green tea but later changed to black tea, and as refrigeration improved, it became a representative American drink. Fourth, tea bags were invented in the previous century for economic feasibility and refine taste at first. Their quickness and convenience stimulated consumer sentiment, and when combined with CTC black tea, they gained an overwhelming advantage in the market. As stated above, American tea culture was still intact even after the 20th century, and it built its own unique tea culture that advanced from the original English tea culture, such as American tea food, informal and entertaining character, iced tea and tea bags.

Authors: Michael Nnaemeka Ajemba
Published: January 2023

Background: Leaders are the people who help to define the aims and goals of groups and organizations and then help to channel the energy of the group or organisations’ members to achieve those stated aims. Many women are rising to positions of leadership around the world and in traditionally male-dominated industries. There is an upsurge in women leadership, however gender inequality, bias and discrimination still exist. Objective: This paper has reviewed the concept of women leadership, gender inequality in Nigeria and around the world, exploring the situation in the different continents and sub-continents of the world in a snapshot manner. The paper also reviewed diversity in the workplace and the different way that men and women lead their organizations. Conclusion: Despite the rise of women leaders, more inclusion and diversity in the work place, disparities still exists and is widespread around the world. This is worsened by poverty. A society that has more gender equality, diversity, and inclusiveness is better and would lead to a sustainable and meaningful growth in the economy. It is hoped that companies and governments around the world would take reducing gender inequality and promotion of women leaders seriously for a better equal and just society

Published: January 2023

Background and aims: Wastage of all blood products is an important issue for health providers worldwide. Optimizing blood collection and processing would reduce the rate of wastage and improve the efficiency of the blood transfusion services. The aim of this study is to determine the rate of wastage of blood and blood components and identify its reasons at two hospitals in Riyadh. Method: A retrospective study was conducted on the data retrieved from the blood donation centers records on production and wastage of blood products during the period from November 2016 to October 2017 at two hospitals in Riyadh. The data were analyzed with MS Excel and SPSS 20. Results: A total of 3220 units of whole blood were collected in both hospitals during the study period. The most prepared blood component in both hospitals was packed red blood cells (PRBCs) 96.9%, followed by fresh frozen plasma (FFP) 58.66%, and platelets (PC) 52.67%. The wastage rates for safe blood components during the study period were 3.75% for PRBCs, 6.62% for FFP, and 75.8% for Platelets. The highest wastage rate of safe blood components was for Platelets (75.8%). The major reason for that high rate was delay in getting the results of transfusion transmitted infection (TTI) tests and some units were expired before released to the blood bank. The total cost for blood wastage was 262,828.3₤ (1,201,125.33 SAR. Conclusion: This study reported the highest wastage rate for all 3 blood components in comparison with other similar studies which urge the need to take an action to reduce these occurrences.

Templated Crisis Communication for People With Disabilities, Access and Functional Needs
Authors: Prasad Michael
Published: January 2023

Despite the Americans with Disabilities Act being more than 30 years old, many government institutions fail to fully support their constituents, and provide understandable and actionable crisis communications before, during, and after emergencies and disasters. When residents do not effectively receive, understand, and act on crisis communications in a timely manner, life safety issues can occur. People may choose not to evacuate when necessary or lack the information for properly sheltering-in-place. These and other bad decisions can be deadly. Crisis communications, as a subset of risk communications, should be aligned with all the disaster phase cycles—the before, during, and after stages of disasters and crises—so that impacted residents obtain complete information they can use. U.S. government websites, including posted crisis communications public releases, must be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) under Title II and they should use templated crisis communications available in other languages, English-only audio recordings, and videos of American Sign Language.

It is proven that there is an increase in members Si Mudha (Simpanan Mudharabah) from 2018 to 2021. Meanwhile, when viewed from the perspective of Islamic economics, it has not met the scale of Sharia Economic principles, namely: professional attitudes at work have not been fully formed because there are still some miscommunications between employees and members. The trust has not been covered because there are still delays in shuttle services, especially Si Mudha (Simpanan Mudharabah) The work ethic is also not optimal because it is seen from the professional and trustworthy principles in working that there are still problems. There should be regular evaluation of each performance and a clear division of tasks, so that Service Quality can be carried out optimally.

Socialising the European Semester? The limited influence of Danish social partners on EU policymaking
Authors: Ma Yi
Published: January 2023

Many scholars have debated the role of social policy in the new economic governance after the financial crisis and the sovereign debt crisis. While some researchers argue that social policy continues to be subordinated in favour of the economic imperative, others observe a partial but progressive socialisation, both in terms of EU policy outputs (i.e. more focus on social policies) and the governance procedure (i.e. more participation of social actors). This article contributes to this debate by providing a national perspective. Specifically, it investigates whether procedural socialisation at the national level leads to output socialisation at the EU level. Based on two case studies from Denmark during the European Semester, this article finds that despite their active participation, social partners have had no noticeable influence on the Commission’s Country Reports or Country-Specific Recommendations. The results indicate that procedural socialisation may not easily translate into output socialisation. The article argues for more nuanced insights into the socialisation debate.

Aim: To determine the relationship between fear of Covid-19 and health anxiety in emergency health personnel.Method: This research was conducted in descriptive type. Research data were collected from 123 participants between March and May 2021 using the descriptive characteristics form, the COVID-19 fear scale, and the Health anxiety scale. Data analysis was done with SPSS 26 Statistical Package Program. Results: The mean age, fear of COVID-19, and health anxiety of the participants were 27.27±6.23, 18.80±8.26, 31.45±9.82, respectively. A statistically significant relationship was found in the correlation analysis between fear of COVID-19 and health anxiety (r=0.350, p < 0.01). A positive and significant relationship was found between age and fear of COVID-19 (r=0.189, p < 0.05).Conclusion: Considering the results of this study, it is seen that the fear of COVID-19 and health anxiety of emergency health personnels are moderate and positively and significantly correlated with each other. In this case, it shows that as the COVID-19 fears of emergency health personnel increase, their anxiety about their health also increases.

Mediators in Portugal: Training, Status and Professional Recognition
Authors: Costa e Silva Ana Maria , Guiomar Patrícia
Published: January 2023

Mediation is an area of activity that has been increasingly (re)known for its potential for the prevention and positive management of conflicts, for the promotion of social ties and social cohesion, as well as for the development and empowerment of interpersonal relationships. Therefore, it seems relevant to call into discussion the quality of mediators' practices by analysing their training and professional recognition. The objectives of the present study have focused on identifying the main contexts associated with the development of the profile of mediators and analyzing the actions implemented for the consolidation and recognition of this professional group. Based on literature review, the analysis of normative production on the topic, and the results of a questionnaire applied to Portuguese mediators, the following conditions and challenges for the establishment and recognition of the mediator profession have been identified: quality training, collective feeling of professional identity, professional sregulation and formal recognition of the profession in institutional settings, both in public and private contexts.
NBS-Predict: An easy-to-use toolbox for connectome-based machine learning

Published: January 2023

NBS-Predict is a prediction-based extension of the Network-based Statistic (NBS, Zalesky et al., 2010) approach, which aims to alleviate the curse of dimensionality, lack of interpretability, and problem of generalizability when analyzing brain connectivity. NBS-Predict provides an easy and quick way to identify highly generalizable neuroimaging-based biomarkers by combining machine learning (ML) with NBS in a cross-validation structure. Compared with generic ML algorithms (e.g., support vector machines, elastic net, etc.), the results from NBS-Predict are more straightforward to interpret. Additionally, NBS-Predict does not require any expertise in programming as it comes with a well-organized graphical user interface (GUI) with a good selection of ML algorithms and additional functionalities. The toolbox also provides an interactive viewer to visualize the results. This chapter gives a practical overview of the NBS-Predict’s core concepts with regard to building and evaluating connectome-based predictive models with two real-world examples using publicly available neuroimaging data. We showed that, using resting-state functional connectomes, NBS-Predict: (i) predicted fluid intelligence scores with a prediction performance of r = 0.243; (ii) distinguished subjects’ biological sexes with an average accuracy of 65.9%, as well as identified large-scale brain networks associated with fluid intelligence and biological sex.
Establishing a reproducible and sustainable analysis workflow
Authors: Ramduny Jivesh , Garcia Mélanie , Kelly Clare
Published: January 2023

Getting started on any project is often the hardest thing - and when it comes to starting your career in research, just figuring out where and how to start can seem like an insurmountable challenge. This is particularly true at this moment - when there are so many programming languages, programmes, and systems that are freely available to neuroimaging researchers, and even more guides, tutorials, and courses on how to use them. This chapter is intended to set you off on the right foot as you get stuck into the task of learning to work with large neuroimaging data. We will cover a number of processes, systems, and practices that you should adopt to help ensure that your work is efficient, your processing steps traceable and repeatable, your analyses and findings reproducible, and your data and processing scripts amenable to sharing and open science. While this chapter is aimed at those getting started, it will also be of use to established researchers who want to streamline their processes and maximise robustness and reproducibility of their neuroimaging analyses. Finally, this chapter is also intended to help make neuroimaging work practices and processes more environmentally sustainable by reducing demands on computational resources through better planning, efficiency, and awareness of resource use.
For better or for worse? Visualizing previous intensity levels improves emotion (dynamic) measurement in experience sampling

It is a long known reality that humans have difficulty to accurately rate the absolute intensity of internal experiences, yet the predominant way experience sampling (ESM) researchers assess participants’ momentary emotion levels is by means of an absolute measurement scale. In a daily-life experiment (n = 178), we evaluate the efficacy of two alternative measurement methods that solicit a simpler, relative emotional evaluation: (1) the visualization of a relative anchor point on the absolute rating scale that depicts people’s previous emotion rating, and (2) the phrasing of relative emotion items that ask for a comparison with earlier emotion levels by means of a relative rating scale. Using six quality criteria relevant for ESM, we conclude that the use of a visual ‘Last’ anchor significantly improves emotion measurement in daily life: (a) Theoretically, this method has the best perceived user experience, which suggests that it better aligns with people’s emotional rating experience. Methodologically, this type of measurement generates ESM time series that (b) carry a stronger emotional signal, (c) exhibit less measurement error, produce person-level emotion dynamic measures that are (d) more stable, and generally show stronger (e) unique and (f) incremental relations with external criteria like neuroticism and borderline personality. In sum, we see great value in the addition of a relative ‘Last’ anchor to the absolute measurement scales of future ESM studies on emotions, as it structures the ambiguous rating space and introduces more standardization within and between individuals. In contrast, using relatively phrased emotion items is not recommended.
Obtaining Stable Predicted Distributions of Response Times and Decision Outcomes for the Circular Diffusion Model
Authors: Smith Philip , Garrett Paul Michael , Zhou Jason
Published: January 2023

The circular diffusion model represents continuous outcome decision making as evidence accumulation by a two-dimensional Wiener process with drift on the interior of a disk, whose radius represents the decision criterion for the task. The hitting point on the circumference of the disk represents the decision outcome and the hitting time represents the decision time. The Girsanov change-of-measure theorem applied to the first-passage time distribution for the Euclidean distance Bessel process yields an explicit expression for the joint distribution of decision outcomes and decision times for the model. A problem with the expression for the joint distribution obtained in this way is that the change-of-measure calculation magnifies numerical noise in the series expression for the Bessel process, which can make the expression unstable at small times when the drift rate or decision criterion is large. We introduce a new method that uses an asymptotic approximation to characterize the Bessel process at short times and the series expression for the large times. The resulting expressions are stable across all parts of the parameter space likely to be of interest in experiments, which greatly simplifies the task of fitting the model to data. The new method applies to the spherical and hyperspherical generalizations of the model and to versions of it in which the drift rates are normally distributed across trials with independent or correlated components.
