Using open government data for economic development
Authors: Petrović Nevena , Milić Petar , Prlinčević Bojan
Published: October 2022

Publishing of open government data brings enormous benefits both to providers and consumers. On the one hand, governments increase their transparency and enable development of smarter and richer solutions, while on the other hand it enables various stakeholders to extract new information and create value from them. In this paper we investigate applicability of open government data for economic development and creation of value from published data. Different aspects of open government data consumption are explored, such as effectiveness, transparency and quality-and how they interrelate. They are of great importance for valorisation of open government data, and we will show that leveraging economic value of OGD must be accompanied by governments' ability to make high quality OGD available.
Online university instruction during the Covid 19 pandemic in relation to the domain of education
Authors: Arsenijević Jasmina , Andevski Milica
Published: October 2022

The goal of this paper is to examine the difference in dimensions of online university teaching relative to the domain of education. The dimensions of online teaching correspond to the theoretical model of community of inquiry framework developed in the year 2000 by Garrison, Anderson and Archer and comprise teaching, social and cognitive presence. The paper presents an international quantitative research carried out in the school year 2021/2022 and using survey technique among students (N=808) from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Romania, and Russia. A modified version of an instrument for examining online instruction and its dimensions was applied and tested, while the analysis of the internal consistency of this instrument showed a high level of reliability (a=0,941). The Kruskal-Wallis test demonstrated that there are statistically significant differences among the dimensions of online teaching in relation to the field of education. The highest score is consistently observed in the field of Social sciences and humanities, followed by the field of Engineering and technology, Natural sciences and mathematics, Art and interdisciplinary studies, whereas the lowest scores are observed in the field of Medical sciences. The results indicate the specificities of each educational field that were not recognized and taken into consideration by educational technology in its universal approach, which implies the necessity of creating educational technology that would be relevant for different educational fields, as well as focusing on a combination of online instruction and on-site teaching and learning.
Productivity and efficiency in the health care system with special focus on hospital performance
Authors: Medarević Aleksandar , Vuković Dejana
Published: October 2022

The principle of efficiency calls on all participants in the provision of health care to seek either better results concerning available financial resources or the highest level of health care with the least resources expenditure. The paper presents a review of theoretical productivity and efficiency concepts and their measuring regarding the health care system and the hospitals' operations. Knowledge of these relationships is essential for the practical implementation of the efficiency principle. The paper also summarizes the results of efficiency studies from comparable, Eastern European systems. Efficiency is a multifactorial phenomenon, for the improvement of which there is a whole range of interventions. The management should implement some of these interventions in the system under their responsibility.
The key factors associated with public health workers' intention to leave a job
Authors: Tripković Katica , Šantrić-Milićević Milena
Published: October 2022

A particularly important issue in healthcare settings is public health professionals' intention to leave their job, which may exacerbate both existing and forecasted public health workforce shortages and jeopardize the health system's performance. The rate of intention to leave a job varies across countries and among different profiles of health workers. It is well documented that job dissatisfaction facilitates the intention to leave. Organizational factors (such as job-related stress, interpersonal relationships with colleagues and supervisors, opportunities for professional development, nature of work, and organizational culture) are considered to have the most significant impact on public health workers' intention to leave a job. However, the relevance of individual factors (gender, age, marital status) and other factors (e.g., number of family members, community satisfaction, and family responsibilities) is less clear. It is of great importance that policymakers and managers in health facilities implement effective retention strategies in order to ensure continued delivery of both health care and public health services, and prepare for response to future crises. Retention strategies should be oriented towards ensuring public health workers' health and safety, increasing job satisfaction, recognizing their value and achievements, and creating supportive work environments.

O construto resiliência tem sido utilizado na psicologia para compreender as formas de enfrentamento dos indivíduos diante de adversidades. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar os conceitos e os instrumentos utilizados para acessar a resiliência psicológica em estudos empíricos brasileiros publicados últimos cinco anos em português. Para isso foi realizada uma revisão integrativa em três bases - SciELO, PePsic e LILACS. Após avaliação dos critérios de inclusão, foram selecionados 14 artigos. Os resultados indicam uma grande variabilidade conceitual sobre a resiliência enfatizando, aspectos intrapsíquicos, processuais ou ecológicos. Apesar da diversidade conceitual, 12 artigos utilizaram o mesmo instrumento criado na década de 90.  Resultados indicam a maioria das pesquisas brasileiras utiliza conceitos atuais de resiliência para a construção de seus estudos psicológicos. No entanto, avaliam a resiliência a partir de um instrumento com definição mais antiga. A carência de instrumentos validados afeta a complexidade da avaliação da resiliência nas pesquisas brasileiras.

Published: October 2022

Using a strictly increasing function $\alpha: \left [ 1,\infty \right )\rightarrow \left [ 1,\infty \right ),$ we define below (see(1.1) and (1.2)) two functions $S_{\alpha}:\left [ 1,\infty \right )\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ and $S_{\alpha}^*:\left [ 1,\infty \right )\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$, where $\mathbb{N}$ is the set of all natural numbers. The functions $S_{\alpha}$ and $S_{\alpha}^*$ respectively generalize the functions $S$ and $S_{*}$ introduced and studied by J. Sándor [5] as well as the functions $G$ and $G_{*}$ considered by N. Anitha [1]. In this paper we obtain several properties of $S_{\alpha}$ and $S_{\alpha}^*$ - some of which give the results of Sándor [5] and of Anitha [1] as special cases.

Background

Postoperative infection contributes to the worsening of congenital cardiac surgery (CCS) outcomes. Surgical site infection (SSI), bloodstream infection (BSI) and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) are common. An additional bundle of preventive measures against central-line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) bundle was implemented in April 2019.

Objectives

To compare the incidence of major infections after pediatric CCS before and after the implementation of the CLABSI bundle and to identify risk factors for major infections.

Methods

We conducted a single-center, retrospective study to assess the incidence of major infections including bloodstream infection (BSI), surgical site infection (SSI), and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) after pediatric CCS one year before and after implementation of the CLABSI bundle during April 2018–March 2020. The demographics and outcomes of the patients were explored, and risk factors for major infections were identified using multivariate analysis.

Results

A total of 548 children (53% male) underwent CCS with a median age of 1.9 years (range 0.01–17.5 years). The median Aristotle Basic Complexity score was 7.1 (range 3–14.5). The CLABSI bundle was applied in 262 patients. Overall mortality was 5.5%. 126 patients (23%) experienced major postoperative infections. During the year after the implementation of the CLABSI bundle, BSI was reduced from 8.4% to 3.1% (p = 0.01), with a smaller reduction in VAP (21% to 17.6%; p = 0.33). The incidence of SSI was unchanged (1.7% to 1.9%; p = 0.77). The independent risk factors for major infections were age at surgery <6 months (p = 0.04), postoperative ventilator usage >2 days (p < 0.01), central line usage >4 days (p = 0.04), and surgery during the pre-CLABSI bundle period (p = 0.01).

Conclusion

Following the implementation of the CLABSI prevention package in our pediatric CCS unit, the incidence of BSI was significantly reduced. The incidence of VAP tended to decrease, while the SSI was unchanged. Sustainability of the prevention package through nurse empowerment and compliance audits is an ongoing challenge.

Authors: Okelloh Winnie Ogutu , Bett Hillary Kiplang’at , Sibiko Kenneth Waluse
Published: October 2022

Low dietary diversity is one of the major causes of malnutrition in Kenya. As a result, the government of Kenya and its partners have promoted the uptake of plant based legumes such as Improved Groundnut Varieties to offer solution to the rising cases of poor nutrition. Understanding the impact of Improved Groundnut Varieties on dietary diversity is critical but evidence shows that it’s not yet explored. This study sought to estimate the impact of Improved Groundnut Varieties (IGVs) on dietary diversity among smallholder farmers in Homa Bay County, Kenya. The study used multi-stage sampling procedure where the sub-counties and wards were purposively selected. The villages and respondents were selected using simple random sampling.  Cross-sectional data was collected through interview schedules on a random sampling of 384 households. Both descriptive statistics and econometric methods, Propensity Score Matching method were used. The results pointed out that Improved Groundnut Varieties had a positive and significant impact on the diets of the farmers. Households cultivating IGVs had better dietary diversity non-adopters. Overally, this study recommends sensitization of farmers to adopt IGVs and the need for the government to facilitate extension service provision, trainings and access to credit to increase yields and incomes. Again, the study recommends formation of farmers groups that are business hubs as opposed to social welfare to enhance bargaining power and access to inputs and outputs market. Additionally, there is need for intersectoral collaboration between agriculture and health sector to sensitize farmers on the importance of diversifying diets and consuming the crops grown in the farms.
Influence of Gap Size on Regeneration, Structure and Species Diversity of Woody Vegetation in a Secondary Montane Forest Reserve, Kenya
Authors: Ocholla Jemimah Achieng , Obwoyere Gilbert Obati , Inoti Shadrack Kinyua
Published: October 2022

South-Western (SW) Mau forest reserve has been experiencing anthropogenic and natural disturbances creating canopy openings in the forest. The objective of this study was to determine how these canopy openings influence regeneration, forest structure and species diversity. The study employed nested sampling design in disturbed sites of the forest reserve. Plots of 500 by 500 m were laid once at 100 m inwards from the forest edge in the three blocks of SW Mau; Ndoinet, Maramara and Itare. Gaps were randomly identified in the plots and gap area calculated using Ellipse Method (EM). Gap sizes were categorized based on area (m2). Woody species surrounding the gaps were identified and names inventoried. To determine regeneration, two quadrats of 5 by 5 m and 1 by 1 m were randomly delineated in every gap size four times and eight times for saplings (1-3 m high) and seedlings (<1 m high), respectively. Tree heights surrounding the gaps were measured using suunto clinometer. Diameter at breast height (dbh) was measured using diameter caliper (65 cm for small trees) and diameter tape for large trees (dbh> 65 cm). A total of 41 gaps were identified with small gap sizes dominating (23). Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test indicated non-significant differences in regeneration, forest structure and species diversity in the three gap sizes.

This was attributed to Piper capensis which invaded medium and large gap sizes creating a closed canopy. It was, therefore, concluded that canopy cover from the invasive species influenced woody vegetation parameters in the gap sizes. It is, therefore, recommended to clear the dense ground cover to allow better natural regeneration and also enrichment planting in the gaps.

Published: October 2022

The reflection carried out in this manuscript concerns the construction of prototypes of hybrid solitary waves, solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. The principle of construction consists in injecting into the equation to be solved an ansatz that one would like solution, and that its analytical sequence results from a combination of the analytical sequences of the classical solitary waves.

Then, the constraints imposed by the resolution allow to extract exact or approximate solution. As part of this work, the solution function to be constructed from the start is made up of a combination of four analytical sequences of solitary waves of the kink and pulse type. To this end, we have obtained, using a rigorous mathematical approach, important results whose graphic exploitations have made it possible to better characterize them.

Published: October 2022

Aims: To determine the agronomic response of the bell pepper grown in open field to the application of the Ultrasol chile® fertilizer via fertigation.

Study Design: It was with the completely randomized model with five treatments (T0 or control, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 g L-1 of Ultrasol chile®) and four repetitions each. The comparison of means was by Tukey ≤ .05.

Place and Duration of Study: Experimental fields "the Bajío” Buenavista, Plant Breeding Department of the Universidad Autónoma Agraria Antonio Narro. between June 2019 to December 2019.

Methodology: In bell pepper five treatments were applied (T0 or control, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 g L-1 of Ultrasol chile®). The treatments were carried out via fertigation and applied three times a week, the applications started 15 days after the transplant and until the end of the cycle.

Results: The yield behaved in a similar way with the applied doses of the fertilizer, however, they exceeded the control by more than 90%. Average fruit weight (AFW), fruit length (FL) and equatorial diameter of fruit (EDF) showed a differential statistical response, in which the application of 1 g L-1 of Ultrasol chile® via fertigation resulted in a better response and it surpassed the control in 120, 44 and 13.5% respectively. The height of the plant was statistically similar between the control and the 1.2 and 0.8 g L-1 treatments. The correlations indicate that the crop yield is a function of the AFW, FL and NFP, in turn the FL and EDF, are what determine the AFW.

Conclusion: The most appropriate dose of Ultrasol chile® for bell pepper grown in the open field was 1 g L-1, since it improves the average weight of fruit, equatorial diameter of fruit and length of fruit, therefore, there is feasibility in the use of this commercial formulation.

Authors: Rahil Mahmoud
Published: October 2022

Aims: The aim of this study was to survey the agronomic practices that practiced by the farmers for potato and cucumber crops, and to estimate the water productivity of these crops.

Study Design: A questionnaire was designed to collect data about the agronomic practices that practiced by the farmers during the growing period of cucumber cultivated in open field and potato crops.

Place and Duration of Study: A field survey was carried out at Al-Bqaia’h and Kashda areas located at Tubas governorate of the West Bank, Palestine between December 2021 and July 2022.

Methodology: The questionnaire includes several parts: soil characteristics, crop cultivation, crop development, crop fertilization, yield production, type of irrigation systems used, irrigation water management, and amount of applied irrigation water. Crop evapotranspiration (ETc) was estimated using AQWACROP program. Soil samples were collected from the selected field to evaluate the soil fertility status.

Results: It is indicated that the crop evapotranspiration of potato (378 mm), higher than that of cucumber crop (343 mm). Huge amount of water (754 and 689 mm) were applied by the farmer during the growing period of potato and cucumber, respectively compared to calculated actual water requirement. The water productivity of cucumber crop varies among different farmers and varies from (3.56 – 6.82 kg/m3) in Al-Bqaia’h area, and (3.7 – 7.5 kg/m3) in Kashda area. The water productivity of potato crop varies from (4.29 – 8.10 kg/m3) in Al-Bqaia’h area, and (5.1 – 8.1 kg/m3) in Kashda area. It is found that the dripper discharge of 2 L/hr enhanced the water productivity compared to the dripper discharge of 4 and 8 L/hr.

Conclusion: The field survey found that the water productivity of cucumber and potato crops was mainly affected by the performance of individual farmers, the amount of water applied, method of water application and the crop verity.

Authors: Vázquez-Rodríguez Juan Gustavo , Sánchez-Pardo Claudia Isabel
Published: October 2022

Background: The management of postpartum hypertension is a priority in severe preeclampsia (SP) to reduce short and long term complications. This study aimed to analyze the results of the management of postpartum arterial hypertension in patients with SP of a high specialty hospital of Mexico City.

Methods: An observational, longitudinal, retrospective and analytical study was carried out in a series of 91 pregnant women with SP admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) from May 1 to September 30, 2019 with termination of pregnancy and postpartum stay in the same hospital. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and antihypertensive management were compared on admission (prepartum, baseline measurement) and on days 1, 3 and 7 postpartum. Statistical analysis: descriptive statistics, Student t test and two-way ANOVA test with the statistical program SPSS version 20.

Results: Age 30.91±6.69 years, parity 2 and pregnancy of 32.48±4.21 weeks. SBP gradually decreased, at the end of the study the changes had statistical significance (baseline measurement 163.08±16.52, vs day 1 133.78±22.11 P=.150, vs day 3 131.56±21.07 P=0.051, vs day 7 125.02±17.79 P=0.007). DBP also decreased, but at the end of the study the changes were not significant (baseline measurement 100.29±13.06, vs day 1 82.02±13.88 P=.61, vs day 3 80.87±11.98 P=.11, day 7 78.02±10.78 P=.14. At the beginning, the combination of two to five oral drugs was necessary, but in the end the number of drugs was reduced. Blood pressure was controlled (<140/90 mmHg) in 87.92% (n=80), and 12.08% (n=11) continued with uncontrolled hypertension (≥140/90 mmHg). Stay in the ICU was 2.33±2.12 days, hospital stay 7.23±3.69 days and mortality 0%.

Conclusion: SBP was significantly improved, but not DBP. Polypharmacy was necessary in most cases. A significant number of patients did not have adequate blood pressure control.

Increasing the Brand Awareness of Samaya Coffee Shop to Its Target Market Using a Promotional Video
Authors: Santoso Jabriel Gian
Published: October 2022

Samaya Coffee Shop is a coffee shop in Solo City. Based on the research that I did, I found that Samaya still lacks of brand awareness, because only a few people know about Samaya. Therefore, the best solution to increase Samaya’s brand awareness is by creating a promotional video with USP (Unique Selling Points). There are several Samaya USPs that I highlight in the video such as the unique menu, private meeting room, and board games. The video is uploaded to Instagram and also to paid promotion accounts in Solo city, so the video could be watched by more target audience. A promotional video is the right effective solution is because video is one of the tools that is often watched by the target market when they seek out and discover the product they want to buy.
Increasing the Brand Awareness of Heyboba Drinks to Its Target Market Through Instagram
Authors: Dewi Noviyanti Chintia , Ibrahim Jusuf Imam
Published: October 2022

Heyboba is an SME that sells boba drinks that experienced a decline of about 50% in its sales. The writer conducted a survey using Google Forms on customers and non-customers. The results show that the problem that caused the decline in sales is the lack of brand awareness from the target market, such as many people do not know Heyboba and its USP. It happened because Heyboba was less active in informing its USP on social media. Therefore, the writer decided to create USPs content as a solution where the content highlights the USPs of Heyboba like the low product price, delicious and different taste of boba, having delivery services, and having a point card on Instagram according to the branding theory by Mira Shabrina (2015). By displaying the USPs of Heyboba, the writer believes that it can increase the brand awareness of the target market and increase Heyboba's sales.
Increasing Kang’s Kitchen’s Brand Awareness to Its Target Market through a Promotional Video
Authors: Hendranata Ivan
Published: October 2022

Kang’s Kitchen is a homemade cake and homemade food company that is located in Jakarta. It was established in 2019 at Surabaya when Kang’s Kitchen was still selling homemade Ote-Ote and now the shop is focusing on baking many kinds of cakes. Kang’s Kitchen target market is Instagram users that like to order food or cake from the application. The shop is currently new in Jakarta, so few people know about Kang’s Kitchen and its products. In addition, some competitors sell almost the same products. These make the sales volumes still very low. From the customers’ survey, I found out that the shop lacks brand awareness among its target market. The target market is still unaware of Kang’s Kitchen Unique Selling Points, premium quality and hygienic processing. The solution is, therefore, highlighting the USPs in a video, and upload it in Instagram. By projecting the company’s strengths in Instagram, Kang’s Kitchen followers are expected to increase, and those followers are expected to be loyal customers.
Lukas: A Novella Revealing Low Socioeconomic Condition as a Risk Factor of Schizophrenia
Authors: Handoko Nicholas Valentino , Limanta Liem Satya
Published: October 2022

Recent world crises have caused millions to relocate. However, upon reaching their destination, immigrants often suffer from mental health problems. This work addresses how an immigrant status increases one’s likelihood to develop the early symptoms of schizophrenia and how to recover. It does so by using Blair Wheaton’s theory of the sociogenesis of psychological disorder and a phenomenological and participatory research written by Larry Davidson and his colleagues. It warrants a publication of the phenomenon in a creative form. This novella explores the perspective of Lukas Bertram, a wanted politician who left Earth for the planet of Morael, where he would try to survive amidst discrimination, give up, succumb to schizophrenia, and eventually recover. According to the findings, Lukas’ fatalism became the mediating variable between low socioeconomic status and his initial development of schizophrenia. Overcoming fatalism by reestablishing social connection and sense of control, thus, sparked his recovery process.

CV. Petra Kharisma Abadi, now PeKA, is a company that makes and sells food-boxes in Magelang and Kedu areas. The customers are mainly from Magelang, 60% females 40% males, aged between 25 - 55 years. The main problem that I have found from the customer survey is lack of brand awareness, because the target customers cannot recognize the name of the company and its’ product. From the customer survey, I found that the solutions are making a new brand name, logo, and slogan. Besides, the company must highlight the USPs (durability, beauty, and low price). I used theories that focus on my main subjects, which are brand awareness, brand name, logo, and slogan. There are three benefits from the solution: target customers can be more familiar with the company, can boost sales by having the target market’s trust, and can later have a correct method of promotions after good branding.
Impoliteness Strategies Used by Sylvie Grateau Toward Emily Cooper in Emily in Paris Season One
Authors: Santoso Tania Silvia , Tedjaatmadja Herwindy Maria
Published: October 2022

This descriptive-quantitative study is aimed at finding out the types of impoliteness super-strategies used by Sylvie toward her employee, Emily, in Emily in Paris season one, as well as the most and least frequently used types. The main theory used is Culpeper's (1996, 2005) impoliteness strategy. The findings reveal that Sylvie has implemented all five types of impoliteness super-strategies. The most common is negative impoliteness which most likely occurs because Sylvie always opposes Emily on purposes despite knowing how much Emily wants to be professionally acknowledged at Savoir. The least frequently used is withhold politeness, which might happen because although Sylvie is a generally nice person, she uses clearer impolite strategies to Emily on purpose. The writers conclude that Sylvie purposefully uses impoliteness strategies and adds impolite gestures, to bring Emily down and to emphasize her power to get rid of Emily from Savoir. Keywords: impoliteness, impoliteness strategy, status, utterance

Published: October 2022

This study focuses on analyzing the features of interactional style used by a character in the Netflix TV series. This study aims to find the features of interactional style used by Toru as the main character of The Naked Director Netflix series on business topics and in what business contexts Toru uses the features of interactional styles. The writers used the theory of interactional styles by Holmes (2006). This study employed a qualitative approach. This study showed that Toru used both feminine and masculine interactional styles in The Naked Director Netflix series. Toru also used different kinds of interactional style features in different business contexts. Toru used feminine interactional style features mostly when talking to people with similar power and authority to his and used masculine features of interactional style when he was talking to people who have lower authority and power than his.
Demonstration of the Effect of Evacuation Systems in Buildings
Authors: Kang Hyun , Kweon Oh Sang
Published: October 2022

In the event of a fire in a building, casualties are likely to occur due to various causes. The most common causes of fatalities and injuries due to building fires are related to the inability to use evacuation routes smoothly. The casualties caused by fires could be greatly reduced if a systematic evacuation system is prepared by considering the characteristics of the target building. Accordingly, an appropriate evacuation route can be established based on the location of the fire. Therefore, in this study, an evacuation system that reflects the characteristics of the building was established to minimize casualties in the event of a building fire. Further, to facilitate quick and safe evacuation, an appropriate evacuation route was provided to the occupants in the event of a building fire. The usability of the proposed evacuation system and evacuation route guidance system was verified through empirical experiments involving occupants of various age groups and real buildings.
An Analysis of Factors Affecting the Intention to Install Residential Firefighting Systems Using Binary Logit Model: Focused on Gangwon-do
Authors: Lee Semyeoung
Published: October 2022

In this study, two models were constructed using the binary logit model to analyze the factors affecting the intention to install residential firefighting systems. Model 1 can help decide whether to install a residential firefighting system and Model 2, whether to install it in the future. Using these two models, the factors affecting the intention of the respondents to not install a residential firefighting system and to not install it in the future, respectively, were analyzed. The factors with a significant effect on the two models, when arranged in the order of their highest explanatory power (based on the Wald statistic), were found to exhibit the following order: recognition path, occupant type, housing type, income, job, fire extinguisher, and fire evacuation experience. The results of this study can serve as reference data to determine the topics of focus for improving the installation rate of residential firefighting systems in the future.
A Study on the Spatial Distribution and Accessibility of Disaster Evacuation Facilities: Focusing on Cheongju City
Authors: Park Hyun Soo , Kwon Seol A
Published: October 2022

Hazards are problems that can arise due to the climate crises. The rise in temperature on the earth can lead to an outbreak of many natural hazards. Hazards arising due to the climate crises are typically characterized by their unspecified targets, diversified aspects, and enlarged scale. This study aimed to examine the distribution and accessibility of disaster evacuation facilities, considering Cheongju as the target city. Our findings show that the disaster evacuation facilities are proportional to the population; therefore, the distance between the facilities was less in highly populated areas. Areas far from the disaster evacuation facilities are generally scattered. This particular area has a population scattered over a wide region; therefore, it was not easy to designate a disaster evacuation facility. Additionally, regression analysis was performed to examine the regional characteristics exhibited by the distance from the disaster evacuation facilities, which showed that the areas with a higher population of toddlers relative to the entire population and a higher number of buildings were nearer to the disaster evacuation facilities. Conversely, areas with a higher elderly population relative to the entire population and decrepit buildings were further from the disaster evacuation facilities.
A Comparative Study of the Performance of a Solar Radiation Shield for Ground Observations Based on the Stevenson Screen
Authors: Hwang SungEun , In Sora , Lee YoungTae , Kim Byeong-Taek
Published: October 2022

The Stevenson screen has previously been used for ground temperature and humidity observations, but due to the computerization and miniaturization of observation equipment, a solar radiation shield has been more commonly employed in recent years. However, there is no detailed domestic standard for Stevenson screens or solar radiation shields in weather stations or weather observatories. Accordingly, this study was conducted to derive the required standard for solar radiation shields by comparing the temperature and humidity observations of a Stevenson screen and a solar radiation shield in Korea. Through these comparisons, the minimal standard requirements for solar radiation shields were determined. First, a solar radiation shield with natural ventilation should have a structure in which the inside (sensor) is not directly transmitted from the outside through a method such as a partition wall inside the plate. Second, in the case of forced ventilation, the structure fixing the ventilation fan must be firmly fixed. Moreover, there should be no interference between the installed sensor and the solar radiation shield. The natural ventilation method and the forced ventilation method showed similar results.

Published: October 2022

Yeongdong, Gangwon-do, is located in the east of the Taebaek Mountains, hindering the stable management of water resources and suffering from limited water supply due to the continuous shortage of water resources. To solve the damage to residents due to the lack of water, the development and use of groundwater linked to surface water were found to be the most reasonable alternative. Moreover, as conflicts continue to occur due to environmental and social factors, it is necessary to select an alternative considering this. In this study, the humanities and social characteristics of the East Coast region were analyzed, and the areas and priorities required for the underground dam were presented. As a result of the analysis, the priority was high in the order of sockcho-si (ssangcheon) and gooseong-gun (buckcheon). The results of this study can be used as basic data when installing a new underground dam in the east coast area. Additionally, they can serve as a rational methodology for selecting priorities when expanding the water supply infrastructure in other regions with social conflicts.
Analytical Study on the Prediction of Fire Evacuation Time in Large Complex Buildings Using the Ensemble Learning Technique
Authors: Lee DooHee , Kim HakKyung , Kim Jeon Soo , Hwang Hyun Soo , Choi DooChan
Published: October 2022

With the recent increase in the risk of fire in buildings, the number of casualties that occur in the event of a fire have increased. This emphasizes the importance of performance-based design. However, simulating a performance-based design requires a lot of manpower and time, and re-simulation with minor changes is a difficult task. Therefore, in this study, we attempt to develop a prediction model that can easily predict the ASET for each fire distance as a fire factor and spatial factor by applying ensemble learning. The prediction model developed using machine learning based on FDS data showed a high coefficient of determination of 0.91, and we believe that ASET for each distance can be derived in real time by applying this prediction model.

Published: October 2022

Breaking the thermoelectric (TE) trade‐off relationship is an important task for maximizing the TE performance of polymeric semiconductors. Existing efforts have focused on designing high‐mobility semiconductors and achieving ordered molecular doping, ignoring the critical role of the molecular orientation during TE conversion. Herein, the achievement of ZT to 0.40 is reported by fine‐tuning the molecular orientation of one diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)‐based polymer (DPP‐BTz). Films with bimodal molecular orientation yield superior doping efficiency by increasing the lamellar spacing and achieve increased splitting between the Fermi energy and the transport energy to enhance the thermopower. These factors contribute to the simultaneous improvement in the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity in an unexpected manner. Importantly, the bimodal film exhibits a maximum power factor of up to 346 µW m−1 K−2, >400% higher than that of unimodal films. These results demonstrate the great potential of molecular orientation engineering in polymeric semiconductors for developing state‐of‐the‐art organic TE (OTE) materials.
