Authors: Wang Bin , Xu Kai , Chen Shuo , Duan Xinfeng , Zhang Shutao
Published: January 2022

According to the theory and machining principle with disc milling cutter of the equal-base circle bevel gear, the mathematical model of disc milling cutter is established, the principle of machining equal-base circle bevel gear with disc milling cutter is analyzed, and the design methods of axial section profile and the parameters of disc milling cutter are studied, respectively. The reason of interference between the disc milling cutter and tooth surface during machining is studied, based on the tool motion analysis. According to the coordinate change of cutter axial section in the cutter rotation movement and the corresponding rule of coordinate between the cutter surface point and the corresponding point on tooth surface, the internal interference mechanism is analyzed. For the overcut interference in machining movement, a judgment method is proposed based on the rotation and comparison of cutter axial profile coordinates. Finally, through the processing experiment, the reasonable selection method of design parameters and the validity of judgment method are verified.
A Novel Hybrid Model for Short‐Term Wind Speed Forecasting Based on Twice Decomposition, PSR, and IMVO‐ELM
Authors: Xia Xin , Wang Xiaolu
Published: January 2022

Accurate wind speed forecasting is an effective way to improve the safety and stability of power grid. A novel hybrid model based on twice decomposition, phase space reconstruction (PSR), and an improved multiverse optimizer‐extreme learning machine (IMVO‐ELM) is proposed to enhance the performance of short‐term wind speed forecasting in this paper. In consideration of the nonstationarity of the wind speed signal, a twice decomposition based on improved complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (ICEEMDAN), fuzzy entropy, and variational mode decomposition (VMD) is proposed to reduce the nonstationarity of the original signal firstly. Then the PSR based on C‐C method is employed to reconstitute the decomposed signal as the input of the prediction model. Lastly, an improved multiverse optimizer is proposed to improve the stability and efficiency of ELM which is used as prediction model. Furthermore, two experiments are designed to verify the performance of the proposed method; the results indicate that (1) the wind speed forecasting with twice decomposition of original wind speed signal is better than other once‐decomposition methods and much better than forecasting without decomposition; (2) the C‐C‐PSR method can determine the input dimension of ELM and improve the prediction accuracy of ELM; (3) the IMVO has improved the stability of ELM, and the optimization efficiency is better than other comparison optimization methods. The results show that the proposed hybrid approach is a useful tool for short‐term wind speed forecasting.

Authors: Fernández-Castillo Antonio , Chacón-López Helena , Fernández-Prados María J.
Published: January 2022

Resilience is the ability of the person to face adverse situations and emerge stronger from them. On the other hand, self-esteem is the general assessment that a person makes of himself. In the educational field, situations that can be related to both factors converge. Not too many studies have focused so far on knowing how these variables evolve during the training of future teachers. In the present study, we intend to check the levels of self-esteem and resilience in a sample of teaching students as well as to explore whether there is an association between the different levels of self-esteem and the resilience of the participants. This is a cross-sectional descriptive investigation through an evaluation instrument. The sample consists of 1547 students aged 17–57 years. The sample consisted of 916 primary education students (59.2%) and 631 early childhood education students (40.8%). Of these, 337 were men, 1195 were women, and 14 of them did not indicate their gender. The results confirm a positive association between self-esteem and resilience. Furthermore, an increase in the levels of both variables has been found as students progress in their studies. These data verify that the students seem to be in a position to face adverse situations, as well as qualified to transfer these competencies during the performance of their future teaching work.

Published: January 2022

With the progress of physical education reform, more and more educational methods are added to physical education. The state has always attached great importance to the reform of school physical education and has promulgated and implemented a number of policies and documents to stimulate the reform of school physical education. Change the teaching method from “theoretical knowledge teaching” to “combination of theory and practice”, change the teaching content from “subject standard and complicated subjects” to “comprehensive course teaching”, and change “conservative and mechanical teaching” to “active and teacher-student participation”. The introduction of intelligent systems and responsive software in physical education not only allows students to learn with the aid of multimedia courseware but also accesses to high-performance graphics data processing software GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) and so on. This article describes the production plan of multimedia courseware under the intelligent system environment and constructs the sports teaching framework of multimedia courseware under the intelligent system desktop system. Choose the Ubuntu18.04 stable version system to obtain OpenOffice and GIMP components, as well as multimedia materials for physical education, and make physical education courseware. The experiment teaching eﬀect evaluation is carried out in the main body composed of 100 physical education students in our college. Research shows that the use of GIMP can greatly improve the learning efficiency in the physical education of the intelligent system. Compared with Windows and other systems, the teaching system constructed in this study only retains the core components and can reflect great system permissions in teaching advantage. In terms of processing speed, the image processing time is reduced by 36% compared to Windows, and it has more types of professional materials than Microsoft. The learning time of teachers using the intelligent system professional physical education software is more than 50% shorter than that of Photoshop, 3D Max, etc., thereby improving the work efficiency of physical education teachers.

Published: January 2022

Background

Viral hepatitis is highly prevalent among people with HIV (PWH) and can lead to chronic liver complications. Thailand started universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth in 1992 and achieved over 95% coverage in 1999. We explored the prevalence of hepatitis B and C viral infections and the associated factors among PWH from same-day antiretroviral therapy (SDART) service at the Thai Red Cross Anonymous Clinic, Bangkok, Thailand.

Methods

We collected baseline characteristics from PWH enrolled in the SDART service between July 2017 and November 2019. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine factors associated with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV).

Results

A total of 4011 newly diagnosed PWH who had HBsAg or anti-HCV results at baseline: 2941 men who have sex with men (MSM; 73.3%), 851 heterosexuals (21.2%), 215 transgender women (TGW; 5.4%), and 4 transgender men (0.1%). Median age was 27 years. Overall seroprevalence of HBsAg and anti-HCV were 6.0 and 4.1%, respectively. Subgroup prevalence were 6.2 and 4.7% among MSM, 4.6 and 2.4% among heterosexuals, and 9.3 and 3.7% among TGW, respectively. Factors associated with HBsAg positivity were being MSM, TGW, born before 1992, CD4 count < 200 cells/mm3, and alanine aminotransferase ≥ 62.5 U/L. Factors associated with anti-HCV positivity were being MSM, age > 30 years, alanine aminotransferase ≥ 62.5 U/L, creatinine clearance < 60 ml/min, and syphilis infection.

Conclusions

Around 5–10% of newly diagnosed PWH in Bangkok had hepatitis B viral infection after 25 years of universal vaccination. Anti-HCV positivity was found in 4–5% of PWH who were MSM and TGW. As World Health Organization and Thailand national guidelines already support routine screening of hepatitis B and C viral infections in PWH and populations at increased risk of HIV including MSM and TGW, healthcare providers should reinforce this strategy and provide linkage to appropriate prevention and treatment interventions. Catch-up hepatitis B vaccination should be made available under national health coverage.
Factors associated with long intensive care unit (ICU) admission among inpatients with and without diabetes in South Western Sydney public hospitals using the New South Wales admission patient data collection (2014–2017)
Authors: Osuagwu Uchechukwu L. , Xu Matthew , Piya Milan K. , Agho Kingsley E. , Simmons David
Published: January 2022

Background

Long stay in intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with poor outcomes, particularly in people with diabetes. It increases the financial burden of care and this is a challenge to the South Western Sydney region, which is already a hotspot for diabetes in Australia. This study compared ICU admission characteristics of people with and without diabetes and the factors associated with long ICU stay among patients admitted to public hospitals in this metropolitan health district from 2014 to 2017.

Methods

Cross-sectional datasets on 187,660, including all ICU admissions in the New South Wales Admitted Patient Data Collection (APDC) from June 2014 – July 2017 in public hospital were extracted. Data on demographic and health insurance status, primary admission diagnosis using ICD-10, comorbidities including death among hospital inpatients aged ≥18 years residing in SWS were analysed. The ICU length of stay was the outcome variable and were classified into short stay (≤48 h) and long stay (> 48 h), and were examined against potential confounding factors using bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses.

Results

Our results showed higher ICU admissions in patients with diabetes than in those without diabetes (5% vs. 3.3%, P < 0.001) over three years. The median and interquartile range (IQR) of length of the ICU stay were similar in both groups [diabetes: 40 h, IQR = 16–88 h vs. non-diabetes: 43 h, IQR = 19–79 h]. The prevalence of long ICU stays among people with and without diabetes were 44.9% [95% CI 42.1, 47.7%] and 43.6% [95% CI 42.2, 44.9%], respectively. For both groups, increased odds of long ICU stay were associated with death and circulatory system disease admissions, while musculoskeletal disease admissions were associated with lower risk of long ICU stay. In the non-diabetes group, male sex, nervous system disease admissions and living in peri-urban areas were associated with higher odds of long ICU stay.

Conclusions

The rate of ICU admissions among inpatients remain higher in people with diabetes. One in every two admissions to ICU had a long stay. Additional care for those admitted with circulatory system diseases are needed to reduce long ICU stay related deaths in SWS.
On Understanding Our Needy World through Science Fiction and Utopia/nism
Authors: Suvin Darko
Published: January 2022

How do dominant epistemological frames create political understanding and violence in the public sphere and through cultural texts? This article explores a theoretical answer to this question by identifying narrative categories, or frames, that create shared realities and collective political understanding and action in contemporary antiutopian US culture. Much current public information is marred by the juxtaposition of fact and fiction, logic and emotion, creating forms of knowledge and thus political action not necessarily based, then, on actuality or a communal ethic of care. Through analysis of worlds made possible in science fiction, the author builds on his previous theoretical work to develop what he calls “a method for radical utopian cognition”—one that sees cultural cognition based in logic, emotions, and a utopian frame in which destiny or resolution is not dictated by class or preordained authorial expectation but is instead open for constructive possibilities and new realities through the presentation of alternative possible worlds.

Authors: Kim Tae Wan , Jeong Hwiram , Baik Joon Hyun , Suh Young-Woong
Published: January 2022

Liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) systems have recently gained great importance as a means for hydrogen storage and transportation. Since fast hydrogen storage into H2-lean organic molecules under mild conditions is an urgent issue in LOHC systems, the present review highlights recent advances in hydrogenation catalysts for aromatic and heteroaromatic LOHC compounds. The activity results of supported noble metal (mainly, Ru and Pt) and transition metal (typically, Ni) catalysts are discussed along with key catalyst properties including metal dispersion, H2 and substrate adsorption capacities, and hydrogen spillover by strong metal-support interaction. This contribution will serve as a guide to design and synthesize an efficient and durable hydrogenation catalyst towards practical LOHC systems in the near future.

Ethnic Trauma in the Traveller’s Eye: On Naipaul’s "The Masque of Africa", Including a Comparison with Bi Shumin’s "30,000 Miles of Africa"
Authors: Wang Quan
Published: January 2022

Abstract: Insisting on the role of spectator in his travel writing, V.S. Naipaul claims he is merely the “manager of narrative”, who retells objective truths told by the people among whom he travels. Nonetheless, an examination of the ethnic trauma of post-apartheid South Africa in Naipaul’s The Masque of Africa: Glimpses of African Belief (2010) reveals that his voice dominates the narrative. Naipaul’s negative view of post-apartheid South Africa is consistent with his previous views of the “dark continent”. Contrary to other writers’ optimistic attitudes toward South Africa, Naipaul holds a negative view of the Rainbow Nation. For Naipaul, South Africa is still trapped in the mess of ethnic trauma: the ‘coloured’ population fears a lack of identity; the white people fear inverted black racism; and the black populace fear a lack of possibility. This article seeks to explore the reasons for Naipaul’s pessimistic perspective on South Africa by reading his related travelogues, African writings, interviews, authorised biography and Nobel lecture. These works reveal two main reasons for his opinion of South Africa: his Western bias against the “dark continent”, and his encounters with various local ‘elites’. A comparison with a travelogue by Bi Shumin further supports the argument that Naipaul’s view of Africa in general and South Africa in particular is selective and one-sided.
DNA-V – A CONTEXTUAL APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH AS A BENCHMARK FOR EVIDENCE-BASED PSYCHOLOGICAL EDUCATION AT SCHOOL
Authors: Szafran Joanna , Czupała Hubert , Hayes Louise
Published: January 2022

The article attempts at outlining the development of the holistic approach to the mental health of children and adolescents worldwide and contextualises it with the Polish background. Accordingly, it provides examples of actions undertaken in the Polish educational policy to introduce a holistic approach to the mental health of children and adolescents through various education, care, prevention and wellness-oriented programmes which have been established and conducted within the last two decades. Moreover, the article attempts to explain how context-focused and evidence-based mental health approaches, such as mindfulness, positive psychology, development of psychological flexibility, can be used as an alternative to content-focused actions that have been taken worldwide so far. In the paper, a developmental-contextual behavioural model called DNA-V is used to refer to a concrete example of how psychological education could integrate evidence-informed interventions into a social and individual context, as well as to promote the healthy transition from puberty to adulthood.

La privacidad, un desafío para periodistas y comunicadores. Análisis de la privacidad en los estudios universitarios de comunicación de Europa y Estados Unidos.
Authors: Cervi Laura , Marín-Lladó Carles
Published: January 2022

El derecho a la privacidad del ciudadano y su preocupación por la protección de sus datos se ha acentuado con la consolidación y el uso masivo de internet, donde se ven expuestas, cada vez más, millones de referencias personales tanto de usuarios directos como de navegantes esporádicos. Pero si hay una profesión que se somete al difícil equilibro entre el respeto a la privacidad y la rigurosidad de una labor que es de interés público, esta es el periodismo y sus profesionales, quienes previamente se han formado en universidades de todo el mundo. Precisamente este artículo pretende mostrar en qué contextos y cómo se aborda el tema de la privacidad en los estudios de periodismo y comunicación. Y para ello, presentamos los resultados de un estudio cuantitativo y cualitativo que analiza 865 materias de las 25 titulaciones que conforman las 13 mejores universidades en comunicación y medios en Europa y Estados Unidos, según los índices internacionales “QS World University Ranking by Subject”. Las conclusiones señalan que, a pesar del interés generado por la ciudadanía, las universidades relegan las enseñanzas relativas a la “privacidad” y la protección de datos a una posición claramente minoritaria en sus planes de estudios. Los necesarios cambios para adecuarse a la nueva realidad deberán asumirlos los futuros profesionales desde sus centros de aprendizaje, porque solo así se logrará el verdadero sentido de su trabajo: el de comprometerse éticamente con la sociedad.

Published: January 2022

O artigo propõe um estudo da publicidade audiovisual da cerveja espanhola La Brava, lançada em dezembro de 2015. A importância desse anúncio se deve ao fato de ele romper com as estruturas publicitárias costumeiras para as publicidades de cerveja na Espanha. Temos, nesta pesquisa, o objetivo de: (i) explicitar os aspectos culturais encontrados e transpostos para a publicidade, a qual revelam a visão de mundo e os valores históricos e sociais do país a partir do estudo do plano do conteúdo, níveis narrativo, discursivo e fundamental; e (ii) analisar as categorias cromáticas, eidéticas e topológicas para verificar como o anúncio cria um efeito de sentido. Como arcabouço teórico nos apoiamos na semiótica discursiva, principalmente nas pesquisas de Greimas e Courtés (2008), Floch (1985, 1995ª, 1995b), Oliveira (2004) e Oliveira & Teixeira (2009) para compreendermos os efeitos de sentido construídos e produzidos no textoenunciado e (re)passados ao leitorenunciatário-destinatário. A metodologia utilizada neste artigo é a descritiva, e o método empregado é o hipotético-dedutivo. Os resultados pretendem demonstrar que os elementos verbais, sonoros e visuais tornam a propaganda significativa para o seu leitor/receptor (enunciatário/ destinatário), que é influenciando a comprar e a consumir a cerveja.
He’s Overqualified, She’s Highly Committed: Qualification Signals and Gendered Assumptions About Job Candidate Commitment
Authors: Campbell Elizabeth Lauren , Hahl Oliver
Published: January 2022

Evidence suggests that possessing more qualifications than is necessary for a job (i.e., overqualification) negatively impacts job candidates’ outcomes. However, unfair discounting of women’s qualifications and negative assumptions about women’s career commitment imply that female candidates must be overqualified to achieve the same outcomes as male candidates. Across two studies, experimental and qualitative data provide converging evidence in support of this assertion, showing that gender differences in how overqualification impacts hiring outcomes are due to the type of commitment—firm or career—that is most salient during evaluations. Overqualified men are perceived to be less committed to the prospective firm, and less likely to be hired as a result, than sufficiently qualified men. But overqualified women are perceived to be more committed to their careers than qualified women because overqualification helps overcome negative assumptions that are made about women’s career commitment. Overqualification also does not decrease perceptions of women’s firm commitment like it does for men: supplemental qualitative and experimental evidence reveals that hiring managers rationalize women’s overqualification in a way they cannot for men by relying on gender stereotypes about communality and assumptions about candidates’ experiences with gender discrimination at prior firms. These findings suggest that female candidates must demonstrate their commitment along two dimensions (firm and career), but male candidates need only demonstrate their commitment along one dimension (firm). Taken together, differences in how overqualification impacts male versus female candidates’ outcomes are evidence of gender inequality in hiring processes, operating through gendered assumptions about commitment.

Authors: Brown Philip , Armitage Rachel , Monchuk Leanne , Newton Dillon , Robson Brian
Published: January 2022

This chapter focuses on how housing inequalities have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It draws on interviews with households living in poor-quality housing and investigates how pre-existing housing conditions amplify residents' experiences of that housing. It also covers physical characteristics of dwellings, such as damp and heating problems, and social aspects that include dealing with landlords and not enough space. The chapter highlights mental health challenges that are amplified by poor-quality housing, which are largely caused by people spending most of their time at home with substandard conditions that are ever-present in their lives. It highlights key findings from the new rapid empirical research undertaken within the UK, presenting the concerns, impacts, and lived experiences of both residents and professionals dealing with poor-quality housing.
Pushkin – «Don Juan» in the Interpretation of P. Huber and M. Armalinskiy
Authors: Shemetova Tatiana
Published: January 2022

This article is devoted to the description of the two mythologemes of Pushkin myth (PM). According to the first, the great Russian poet secretly loved one woman all his life and dedicated many unattributed poems to her. This is the mythologeme of Pushkin’s hidden love. The other side of the myth is based on the “Ushakova’s Album” (her personal notebook for her friends’ poetries), in which the poet joked down the names of all his beloveds (Don Juan List). On the basis of this document, the literary critic P. Guber and the “publisher” of Pushkin’s Secret Notes, M. Armalinsky, make ambiguous conclusions and give a new life to Pushkin myth in the 20-21st centuries.
Obraz Rosji, Białorusi i Ukrainy w językowej świadomości polskich studentów filologów (wyniki eksperymentu lingwistycznego)

Published: January 2022

Umiejętność właściwego porozumiewania się z przedstawicielami innych kultur jest kluczowym atutem we współczesnym zglobalizowanym świecie. Jej jakość uzależniona jest od znajomości języka obcego oraz wiedzy jaką posiada jednostka o współrozmówcy. W celu pozyskania informacji na temat wyobrażeń funkcjonujących w świadomości polskich studentów na temat kultury rosyjskiej, białorukiej i uraińskiej, która odwierciedla ich wiedzę i może być przesłanką do przygotowania ich do kontaktów interkulturowych przeprowadzono eksperyment lingwistyczny. W badaniu zastosowano wśród 24 studentów filologii rosyjskiej test asocjacyjny i zebrano 555 polskojęzycznych swobodnych reakcji na zawarte w ankiecie bodźce dotyczące Rosji, Białorusi i Ukrainy. Wniki eksperymentu lingwistycznego pokazały, że generalnie obraz trzech kultur jest stereotypowy. Jednak wiedza respondentów o Rosji i Rosjanach, pozyskiwana w ramach kilkuletniego kształcenia akademickiego jest obszerniejsza niż o Białorusi i Białorusinach oraz Ukrainie i Ukraińcach. Wyniki badania pokazały również, że przygotowanie do kontaktów interkulturowych i zwiększenie szansy młodych ludzi na rynku pracy wymaga wprowadzenia zmian w programach akademickich.

Roles of traditional medicine and traditional healers for rabies prevention and potential impacts on post-exposure prophylaxis: A literature review
Authors: Beasley Erin A. , Wallace Ryan M. , Coetzer Andre , Nel Louis H. , Pieracci Emily G.
Published: January 2022

Introduction

Globally, traditional medicine is widely used to treat a variety of injuries and illnesses, including dog bites, and exposures that are risky for rabies. However, efficacy of most traditional remedies used for rabies prevention or treatment has not been demonstrated in controlled trials or proven in community-based surveys.

Methods

Six databases were searched including the terms rabies, traditional treatment, traditional remedy, traditional therapy, traditional medicine, and medicinal treatment to review traditional remedies used in the prevention and treatment of rabies. In addition, published literature of rabies transmission dynamics was used to estimate statistical likelihood of dog bite victims developing rabies to provide clarity as to why traditional healers have a high apparent success rate when preventing death from rabies in victims bitten by suspected rabid dogs.

Results

Literature review yielded 50 articles, including three controlled experiments, that described use of traditional remedies for rabies prevention and treatment. Traditional remedies for rabies ranged from plant- or animal-based products to spiritual rituals; however, only a few controlled mice trials were conducted, and none of these trials demonstrated efficacy in preventing or treating rabies. Risk of dying from rabies after a bite from a dog with unknown rabies status is low, 1.90% (0.05%-29.60%). Therefore, traditional healers had a 98.10% (70.40%-99.95%) apparent success rate in preventing death from suspected rabid dog bites despite inefficaciousness of herbal remedies.

Conclusion

There was no universal plant species or route of administration that was consistently used for rabies prevention or treatment across countries. No traditional remedy was efficacious in the prevention or treatment of rabies in randomized controlled experiments. Understanding the cultural context under which traditional remedies are used may facilitate collaboration of traditional healers with the modern medical system to ensure timely and appropriate use of proven therapies for prevention and clinical management of rabies.

Published: January 2022

This study aimed to investigate the survival and efficacy indicators of human thyroid tissue transplantation into a retrievable, prevascularized implanted Sernova Corp Cell Pouch™ (CP) device. Thyroid tissue from human donors was transplanted subcutaneously into the pre-implanted CP device or into the subcutaneous (SC) space alone as a control in a nude Mus musculus model. Transplanted M. musculus were monitored for human serum thyroglobulin (TG) levels for 3 months until the transplants were removed for histological assessment. Human thyroid tissue survived and continued to produce TG in transplanted nude M. musculus in the CP, with no adverse events. CP transplants exhibited more persistent and robust production of human TG than tissue placed in the SC space alone from 3 to 13 weeks post transplantation. Fresh thyroid transplants had better survival and function compared to cryopreserved transplants. Thyroid transplant viability correlated with TG levels at 3 months post-transplant (p = 0.03). Immunofluorescence staining of transplants for TG and TPO localized in thyroid follicles. Human thyroid tissue transplanted into the subcutaneously implanted pre-vascularized CP in nude M. musculus survived and continued to produce robust and persistent human TG and warrants further investigation as a treatment for postoperative hypothyroidism.

Published: January 2022

Zur Funktions- und Qualitätssicherung im Rahmen der Fahrzeugproduktion kommt es nach der Endmontage zur Fahrzeugendkontrolle. Die dort beschäftigten Mitarbeiter benötigen ein hohes Maß an Mobilität, das heute beispielsweise durch mobile Handterminals oder mittels Papierdokumentation zur Arbeitsanweisung und -dokumentation realisiert wird. Hierbei muss der Mitarbeiter das entsprechende Medium jedoch für einige Tätigkeiten regelmäßig ablegen. Der Beitrag beschreibt, wie durch den Einsatz von Google Glass in zwei prototypischen Anwendungsbereichen erreicht wird, dass die Mitarbeiter fast zu jeder Zeit beide Hände zum Arbeiten frei haben.
Vorsteuerungsbasierte Regelung für Radialverdichter
Authors: Ritschel Robert , JÄkel Jens , Schulze Rico
Published: January 2022

Die Regelung von Radialverdichtern ist ein anspruchsvolles Problem, das entscheidend durch die Nichtlinearität der Regelstrecke, häufige Arbeitspunktwechsel und zu berücksichtigende Begrenzungen geprägt wird. Der Beitrag stellt ein modellbasiertes Regelungskonzept vor, bei dem die üblicherweise eingesetzte, konventionelle Verdichterregelung um eine nichtlineare Vorsteuerung erweitert wird. Hierdurch lässt sich das Führungs- und Störverhalten der Verdichterregelung verbessern. Die Erprobung an einem Versuchsstand demonstriert die Leistungsfähigkeit des Konzepts.

Die vorgestellte Wasserbedarfsprognose für das Versorgungsgebiet von HAMBURG WASSER bis zum Jahr 2045 basiert auf einem verbrauchergruppenspezifischen und teilräumlichen Analyse- und Prognoseansatz. Durch Verschneidung von Wasserverbrauchs mit Geoinformationsdaten zu sozial-, wirtschafts- und siedlungsstrukturellen Aspekten bis hinunter zur Adressebene wurden wichtige Einflussfaktoren auf den spezifischen Wasserbedarf identifiziert und statistische Zusammenhänge für die Berechnung von Szenarien des Wasserbedarfs genutzt. Expertenwissen, gängige Bevölkerungs- und Wirtschaftsprognosen sowie Klimavorhersagen bilden die Rahmenbedingungen der Szenarien. Das Prognose modell in Form einer Tabellenkalkulation mit Analyse- und Prognosefunktionen integriert alle Daten und stellt Teil- sowie Gesamtergebnisse tabellarisch und grafisch dar.

Published: January 2022

Schwimmen und Baden genießen in der Bevölkerung einen hohen Stellenwert als Sport sowie Freizeitbeschäftigung und gelten allgemein als gesundheitsfördernde Aktivität. Die Nachfrage nach Schwimmteichen, die Wasser ohne Chlor aufbereiten, steigt weltweit. Bisher verwendete Filter zur biologischen Wasseraufbereitung bei Schwimm und Badeteichen können durch ihren vielschichtigen Aufbau jedoch sehr komplex sein. Anhand von Vergleichsversuchen konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass vereinfachte Filteraufbauten zu gleichbleibenden oder sogar besseren Reinigungsleistungen führen können. Dabei konnte gezeigt werden, dass der zur gleichmäßigen Wasserverteilung genutzten groben Kiesschicht am Filtereinlauf auch eine besondere Bedeutung hinsichtlich der mikrobiologischen Aktivität zukommt.
Intimacy and Influence Based Scheduling Algorithm for Vehicle-to-Grid Network
Authors: Hu Jianyu , Zhang Jing , Nian Hongrui
Published: January 2022

The increasing number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) makes vehicle communication and vehicle charging linked together to form a part of the intelligent transportation system, which promotes the development of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET). At the same time, the charging behavior of electric vehicles affects the energy distribution and storage of each charging pile. Scheduling technology plays an important role in the field of power and communication. The charging behavior is closely related to vehicle communication and will eventually affect vehicle scheduling. Therefore, analyzing the relationship between user charging and user communication is the basis of vehicle scheduling. In order to solve the problem, Intimacy and Influence based Connected Dominating Set Scheduling Algorithm (IICDSA) is proposed in this paper to adjust the charging behavior of users to realize vehicle scheduling: Firstly, V2G network model is constructed to describe the vehicle communication network, and then, Intimacy Measurement algorithm based on Relationship of Attribute (IMRA) is designed to analyze the relationship between users; secondly, Influence Walk algorithm based on the Intimacy between Users (IWIU) is designed to measure the user influence; at last, Connected Dominated Set Scheduling algorithm based on user Influence and user Location (CDSSIL) is designed to schedule users in groups. Furthermore, the simulation results show that the algorithm reduces the system scheduling cost and improves the utilization of charging pile.
Canadian governments policy on Ukrainian immigration in the 1910s – 1930s
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Sukhobokova Olga
Published: January 2022

The article examines Canadian immigration policy toward Ukrainians in the 1910s-1930s. At this time, following the tumultuous Ukrainian immigration organized by W. Laurier’s government, subsequent Canadian governments (Robert Borden, Arthur Meighen, Mackenzie King, Richard Bennet) restricted immigration from Eastern Europe, including from Ukrainian lands. The aim of the article is to analyze the main approaches of Canadian governments during this period to the immigration of Ukrainians, the formation of appropriate legislation and practice. Research methods. General scientific principles, interdisciplinary approaches (history, law, sociology) and special historical methods, in particular comparative and retrospective analysis, are used. They were used to analyze the origins and political and legal rationale for changes in Canadian immigration law and their implementation in practice. Emphasis is placed on the attitude of Canadian politicians and society to East Slavic, including Ukrainian, immigration, and its influence on official government policy. The scientific novelty of the study is to consider Canada’s immigration policy towards Ukrainians in the 1910s and 1930s in terms of its political and economic development, using mainly Canadian English-language sources and literature. Conclusions. Objective domestic and foreign policy circumstances due to the First World War and the economic development of Canada (the transition from agro-industrial to industrial-agrarian economy) had a significant impact on the formation of immigration policy of the government of R. Borden, along with the theoretical concepts of the Conservatives. It was they who played a leading role in determining the position of Ukrainian immigrants not only on the conservative government of R. Borden (1911–1920), but also remained in power under the liberal government of Mackenzie King. Despite some positive changes for Ukrainian immigrants in the 1920s, the Great Depression in the mid-1930s virtually halted the flow of immigration from Ukrainian lands. However, even under these circumstances, Canada remained one of the priorities for Ukrainians, and in the interwar period became the leader among American countries in the number of admitted Ukrainian immigrants.
