Comparative study of radiative heat transfer of Marangoni flow of γ-Al 2 O 3 nanofluids in a permeable medium
Authors: Agrawal Priyanka , Jain Nikita , Gaur Manish , Dadheech Praveen
Published: November 2023

Present analysis based upon the Marangoni convection of the nanofluid
past a linearly expanding sheet with the help of convective heat
transfer properties. Considering the base fluids as Ethylene glycol (C
H O ) and Water (H
O) the γ - Al 2 O 3 nanoparticle is submerged into it
to carry over the flow phenomena. The characteristics of the flow across
a permeable medium under nonlinear thermal radiation, that influences
the heat transport properties of nanofluid are studied. This research
was motivated by the growing significance of nanofluids in numerous
scientific and technical domains due to their distinctive and diverse
applications and efficient thermal activities. Magnetic refrigeration,
medication delivery, cancer treatment, and magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) are a few examples of potential uses for these fluids. The given
flow problem is simulated using nonlinear partial differential equations
(PDEs) in accordance with the laws of momentum and energy conservation.
The resulting PDEs are converted into nonlinear ODEs with smaller
dimensions by applying a similarity transformation. The influences of
the controlling parameters on the flow model along with the rate
coefficients are obtained via graphs. Significant increase in nanofluid
temperature is marked in case of water-based nanofluid for the
augmentation in water-base fluid further opposite impact is rendered in
case of EG-based nanofluid.

Published: November 2023

In degraded ecosystems, soil microbial communities (SMCs) may influence
the outcomes of ecological restoration. Restoration practices can affect
SMCs, though it is unclear how variation in the onset of restoration
activities in woodlands affects SMCs, how those SMCs influence the
performance of hard-to-establish woodland forbs, and how different
woodland forbs shape SMCs. In this study, we quantified soil properties
and species abundances in an oak woodland restoration chronosequence
(young, intermediate, and old restorations). We measured growth of three
woodland forb species when inoculated with live whole-soil from young,
intermediate, or old restorations. We used DNA metabarcoding to
characterize SMCs of each inoculum treatment and the soil after
conditioning by each plant species. Our goals were to: 1) understand how
time since onset of restoration affected soil abiotic properties, plant
communities, and SMCs in a restoration chronosequence, 2) test
growth-responses of three forb species to whole-soil inoculum from
restoration sites, and 3) characterize changes in SMCs before and after
conditioning by each forb species. Younger restored woodlands had
greater fire-sensitive tree species and lower concentrations of soil
phosphorous than intermediate or older restored woodlands. Bacterial and
fungal soil communities varied significantly among sites. Forbs
exhibited greater growth in soil from the young restoration. Each forb
species developed unique soil microbial community. Our results highlight
how restoration practices affect SMCs, which can in turn affect growth
of hard-to-establish forb species. Our results also highlight that the
choice of forb species can have major effects on SMCs, with long-term
potential consequences for restoration success.
A Meta-Analysis of Variables Related to the Emotional Intelligence of Children
Authors: Chung Hoewook , Han Eunhyeung
Published: November 2023

This study is a systematic literature review aimed to identify the key
variables on children’s Emotional Intelligence (EI). To the end, a
meta-analysis is conducted, and the results are as follows: First, the
variables were moderately correlated with EI, suggesting children’s
developing EI is influenced by the variables. Second, parental mental
comments and school readiness had the largest effects on the EI of
children. This suggests parental emotional expression plays an important
role in children’s development of EI as well as the importance of EI in
terms of successful initial social adaptation. On the other hand,
teachers’ self-efficacy had the largest effects on the EI of children
which emphasizes the crucial role educational environments play in the
development of children’s EI. The results of this study imply the need
for multifaceted interpretations of children’s EI and emphasizes the
importance of parents and teachers in the environments to develop
children’s EI.
Anthropogenic aerosols contribute to the recent decline in precipitation over the U.S. Southwest
Authors: Kuo Yan-Ning , Kim Hanjun , Lehner Flavio
Published: November 2023

The winter-spring precipitation over the Southwestern United States
(SWUS) decreased since 1980. It is frequently attributed to Pacific
internal decadal variability, but recent studies found anthropogenic
aerosols (AA) can also induce a transition to a negative Pacific Decadal
Variability (PDV) phase. We revisit the attribution of SWUS drying by
quantifying the contributions of anthropogenically-forced decadal
Pacific Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs). Applying a low-frequency
component analysis (LFCA) to observations, CESM2 all-forcings and
single-forcing large ensembles, we find up to 42% of the observed
precipitation trend to be related to the AA-induced negative PDV-like
pattern, which is driven by the emission shift from the Western to the
Eastern Hemisphere. In CESM2, other radiative forcings counteract the
influence of AA, but it remains unclear whether the model correctly
simulates this balance. This implies that the near-future trajectories
of these forcings, in particular Asian aerosols, are important for
projections of SWUS precipitation.
Observational and modelling analysis of Canada’s only F5/EF5 tornado
Authors: Wang Chun-Chih , Hanesiak John , Hobson Justin J. , Taszarek Mateusz
Published: November 2023

Canada’s first and only F5/EF5 tornado associated with a supercell
touched down near Elie, Manitoba in the late afternoon of 22 June 2007.
An observational and numerical simulation analysis with the Weather
Research and Forecasting (WRF) model was undertaken to characterize the
pre-storm environment and processes leading to storm initiation. WRF
sufficiently reproduced the synoptic and mesoscale features, including a
supercell-like storm in the region of interest, and supplemented
available observations. Synthesis of observational and simulation data
suggests that the environment near Elie immediately before storm
initiation was primed for tornadic supercells, with large most-unstable
and mixed-layer convective available potential energy (4000 J kg^-1)
and sufficient vertical shear (effective bulk wind shear 40 kt;
effective storm-relative helicity >200 m2 s^-2). Despite
enhancement owing to a cold pool left behind by passing early-afternoon
convection, shear remained weaker than those typically found in other
North American significant tornadic supercell events. The interaction
between a surface trough and convective boundary-layer thermals was the
primary triggering mechanism of the Elie supercell. The former appeared
to be associated with a low pressure arising from the juxtaposition of
lower-troposphere cyclonic differential vorticity advection and lee
troughing over the western Red River Valley. More observational analysis
and numerical sensitivity experiments are required to better diagnose
Manitoba terrain’s contribution to the Elie supercell initiation.
Multi-actor, multi-impact scenario discovery of consequential narrative storylines for human-natural systems planning
Authors: Hadjimichael Antonia , Reed Patrick M. , Quinn Julianne D. , Vernon Chris R , Thurber Travis
Published: November 2023

Scenarios have emerged as valuable tools in managing complex
human-natural systems, but the traditional approach of limiting focus on
a small number of predetermined scenarios can inadvertently miss
consequential dynamics, extremes, and diverse stakeholder impacts.
Exploratory modeling approaches have been developed to address these
issues by exploring a wide range of possible futures and identifying
those that yield consequential vulnerabilities. However, vulnerabilities
are typically identified based on aggregate robustness measures that do
not take full advantage of the richness of the underlying dynamics in
the large ensembles of model simulations and can make it hard to
identify key dynamics and/or narrative storylines that can guide
planning or further analyses. This study introduces the FRamework for
Narrative Scenarios and Impact Classification (FRNSIC; pronounced
“forensic’): a scenario discovery framework that addresses these
challenges by organizing and investigating consequential scenarios using
hierarchical classification of diverse outcomes across actors, sectors,
and scales, while also aiding in the selection of narrative storylines,
based on system dynamics that drive consequential outcomes. We present
an application of this framework to the Upper Colorado River Basin,
focusing on decadal droughts and their water scarcity implications for
the basin’s diverse users and its obligations to downstream states
through Lake Powell. We show how FRNSIC can explore alternative sets of
impact metrics and drought dynamics and use them to identify narrative
drought storylines, that can be used to inform future adaptation
planning.
A Machine Learning Bias Correction of Large-scale Environment of Extreme Weather Events in E3SM Atmosphere Model
Authors: Zhang Shixuan , Harrop Bryce E , Leung L. Ruby , Charalampopoulos Alexis-Tzianni , Barthel Benedikt , Xu Wenwei Wenwei , Sapsis Themistoklis
Published: November 2023

Large-scale dynamical and thermodynamical processes are common
environmental drivers of extreme weather events. However, such
large-scale environmental conditions often display systematic biases in
climate simulations, posing challenges to evaluating extreme weather
events and associated risks in current and future climate. In this
paper, a machine learning (ML) approach was employed to bias correct the
large-scale wind, temperature, and humidity simulated by the E3SM
atmosphere model at $\sim 1^\circ$
resolution. The usefulness of the proposed ML approach for extreme
weather analysis was demonstrated with a focus on three extreme weather
events, including tropical cyclones (TCs), extratropical cyclones
(ETCs), and atmospheric rivers (ARs). We show that the ML model can
effectively reduce climate bias in large-scale wind, temperature, and
humidity while preserving their responses to imposed climate change
perturbations. The bias correction is found to directly improve the
water vapor transport associated with ARs, and the representations of
thermodynamical flows associated with ETCs. When the bias-corrected
large-scale winds are used to drive a synthetic TC track forecast model
over the Atlantic basin, the resulting TC track density agrees better
with that of the TC track model driven by observed winds. In addition,
the ML model insignificantly interferes with the mean climate change
signals of large-scale storm environments as well as the occurrence and
intensity of three extreme events. This study suggests that the proposed
ML approach can be used to improve the downscaling of extreme weather
events by providing more realistic large-scale storm environments
simulated by low-resolution climate models.
Kompleksitet og gentagelse i klinisk arbejde
Authors: Mathar Helle , Larsen Niels Sandholm
Published: November 2023

The adjective “complex” is used frequently to describe health and healthcare services. We talk about complex interventions being delivered in complex organizations to patients suffering from complex diseases. Thus, the executive order for Danish Nursing Education concludes that healthcare has become more complex and hospitalized patients are sicker. To cope effectively and adequately with the challenges of modern healthcare, prepared and qualified nurses are needed. The question is: What characterizes situations that are described as complex by students during clinical training? In this chapter, we examine how nursing students describe complexity in clinical work. The empirical starting point is interviews with Danish nursing students conducted in the spring of 2020. We conclude that, from an educational point of view, more focus on repetition and learning-by-doing during basic training may help graduates to become more competent and experienced in handling the complexity of clinical work.
The aspect of balance in the implementation of the principle of openness and transparency of the civil service institute: the issue of “Cyber sovereignity”
Authors: Sydorovych Ruslan
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the definition of aspects of balance in the implementation of the principle of openness and transparency of the civil service institute, as well as consideration of this issue in the context of the challenges of the information society, in particular, in relation to "cyber-sovereignization". The principle of openness and transparency includes a number of aspects so that it is equally ensured both in the election and inter-election periods, at the stage of normative design, decision-making and its implementation. It is motivated by the fact that the crisis of political and legal reality, military actions, attacks on the electronic government system creates the need to determine the limits of openness and accessibility of the activities of public authorities. In the context of "cybersovereignization" it is stated that the idea of imposing sovereignty on the Internet, that is, the distribution and control of information resources within the territorial integrity of a state is often considered technically impossible, but recent studies have shown that specialized governments can change the routing and data flows according to national preferences if they want to have the political will and resources for it. It is indicated that when implementing the process of the principle of openness and transparency in the civil service institute, it is important to achieve a balance between ensuring citizens' access to information and preserving confidentiality and security. An important aspect is the establishment of clear procedures and standards for the processing and disclosure of information that take into account the regulatory framework and the specifics of the work of civil servants. At the same time, it is necessary to provide the public with access to key information about the institute's activities, including decision-making and execution of tasks, ensuring the openness of intellectual property, a high level of trust in state institutions and increasing the efficiency of their functioning. At the same time, it should be concluded that some information may be limited to review due to its confidential nature or may affect the security of the state, such cases require reasonable measures to restrict access to information. In general, balance in the implementation of the principle of openness and transparency in the civil service institute is a factor for ensuring the effectiveness of management and trust in the power structures.

Authors: Kostiuk Uliana
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of identifying the main principles of administrative and legal support for the activities of judicial bodies as subjects of protection of the right of citizens to an environment safe for life and health in Ukraine. Special attention is paid to the regulatory and legal principles of administrative and legal support for the activities of judicial bodies as subjects of protection of the right of citizens to an environment safe for life and health in Ukraine. It was established that they determine the competence of judicial bodies, fix the procedure for the implementation of administrative justice in such cases, determine the procedural rights of the participants in the trial, etc. Normative and legal principles are a reflection of the institutional principles of the functioning of the judicial power, and are evidence of the normatively defined special role of judicial bodies in Ukrainian society as subjects of protection of the right of citizens to an environment safe for life and health. The organizational and legal principles of administrative and legal support for the activities of judicial bodies as subjects of protection of the right of citizens to an environment safe for life and health in Ukraine have been analyzed. The principles (principles) of administrative proceedings fixed in Part 3 of Article 2 of the Code of Administrative Procedure. It has been established that the judicial principles of administrative and legal support for the activities of judicial bodies (organizational - in the narrow sense) are evidence of the stability of the judicial system, the organizational ability to guarantee the protection of citizens' rights in the field of the environment. It was established that the achievement of the principle of the effectiveness of the functioning of judicial authorities in the defined sphere is essential for all administrative and legal support of the activities of judicial bodies as subjects of protection of the right of citizens to an environment safe for life and health in Ukraine. It is recognized that new challenges and threats existing in Ukraine must be taken into account on the way to increase efficiency, and the system of administrative and legal support itself must be transformed under the influence of modern trends in the field of justice. The processes of improving the efficiency of the communication system of bodies and institutions of judicial power, digitalization of judicial activity, ensuring public access, information availability and openness of judicial bodies are characterized.
Examples of a single person performing a comprehensive forensic examination
Authors: Korchuk Markiyan , Baranyak Volodymyr
Published: November 2023

The article discusses examples of a single person performing a comprehensive forensic examination of metals and explosives. Comprehensive examinations are appointed in cases where the expert task cannot be solved on the basis of one branch of knowledge. In order to meet the procedural requirement of completeness, comprehensiveness and objectivity of proof, it is necessary to integrate various branches of specialised knowledge. According to one point of view, a comprehensive examination may be conducted by one expert who has knowledge of various fields of science, technology, etc., i.e., who has the right to conduct research in several forensic specialties. In this case, the procedural feature of a comprehensive examination is replaced by the cognitive features of a comprehensive expert study. In practice, the solution of any expert task requires the use of a set of methods aimed at establishing various properties of the objects provided for examination In the course of a comprehensive examination to determine the design of an explosive device, the conclusion of a comprehensive explosive and chemical examination used the special knowledge of a chemist expert who determined the elemental composition of the metal and a metallurgist who studied the structure and phase composition of the metal. The type of explosive was determined by microscopic, chemical, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and infrared spectroscopy (IRS). Metal objects were examined by X-ray (diffractometric) and microstructural (grinding method) analysis. To determine the physical characteristics and chemical composition of the metal powder, microscopic, chemical, emission spectral analysis and X-ray diffraction methods were used.
War and military crimes in the criminal legislation of the Russian empire, the rsfsr, and the Russian federation: theory and direct practice
Authors: Makarchuk Volodymyr
Published: November 2023

The qualification of military and war crimes in the legislation of the Tsardom of Muscovy, the Russian Empire, the RSFSR and modern Russia is considered. A conclusion about the primacy of military expediency over considerations of universal morality and humanism is made. Thus, the legislation of the Tsardom of Muscovy foresaw the possibility of turning the so-called boyar children (the younger layer of the boyars), suspended by the tsar from service, into kholops (serfs). The military legislation of Peter I does not distinguish between the suicide of a soldier and treason. The military reform of Alexander II, carried out by Minister Milyutin, somewhat liberalized military legislation and created a clear system of military courts. The refusal of the Provisional Government to use the death penalty disorganized the Russian army, and this was considered by the Bolsheviks while creating the Red Guards and the Red Army. During the civil war, the Bolshevik headship even used decimation regarding the Red Army men. After the end of hostilities, military crimes (Criminal Code of the RSFSR of 1922) were generally punished more mildly, but the tightening of the screws in the direction of repression’s increase began almost immediately. These processes reached their apogee during the Second World War when the widest range of cases was handed over to military tribunals. In the Criminal Code of the RSFSR of 1960, the number of military crimes doubled, and the sanction became as severe as possible (up to the death penalty). The concept of a war crime is first mentioned in Article 67.1. The use of biological weapons, but it was introduced into the Code by the Law of the Russian Federation, dated 29.04.1993. The criminal code of the modern Russian Federation includes both military and war crimes, the sanctions are severe, but thesein no way restrain the Russian army, Rosgvardiya (National Guard of Russia), and paramilitary formations during a full-scale war against Ukraine. The world has witnessed numerous crimes against the civilian population, prisoners of war, and the environment (the blowing up of the Kakhovka HPP).
Features of remote criminal proceedings under the conditions of the state of martial
Authors: Sloboda Nataliia
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of remote criminal proceedings caused by the introduction of martial law on the territory of Ukraine. The importance and relevance of the issue of the use of the video conference mode in the criminal process during the war are outlined. The article analyzes the legislative innovations that were established in connection with the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, in particular, the possibility of conducting remote court proceedings at the initiative of a judge or at the request of the participants in the proceedings, its implementation using the technical means of judges, lawyers, witnesses and other subjects of the process. The relevance of establishing the possibility in connection with the objective circumstances of joining the participant in the video conference mode using other means, rather than the technical means specified by the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, is substantiated. Disadvantages that are characteristic of remote criminal proceedings and give rise to certain risks of violation of the procedural form are highlighted, in particular, the lack of possibility of reliable identification of the person acting as a participant in the legal process, lack of opportunity for the accused to communicate confidentially with his lawyer, lack of clear information about the participant's awareness of his rights and obligations ties, as well as the ability to ensure the absence of outside influence, pressure on participants, impartiality and confidentiality of the judicial process. The expediency of the further use of the Custody Records system and the EasyCon communication platform in the activities of pre-trial investigation bodies, which, among other advantages, ensure a reduction of the risk of illegal influences on the participants of criminal proceedings during the conduct of procedural actions in a remote mode, is substantiated. The expediency of integrating elements of the Unified Register of Advocates of Ukraine into the "Electronic Court" subsystem, as well as the development of a mobile "eCourt" relationship, was analyzed.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is an important public health challenge. More than 350,000,000 people worldwide have chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Hepatitis B core ImmunoglobinM(HBc IgM) is an important marker used to classify whether an existing HBV is a new infection or an existing one, differentiating acute from chronic HBV infection. When an individual is HBc IgM positive, it shows a new infection, while negative IgM indicates a previous infection. The study aimed to determine the trend of acute HBV infections among hepatitis B-positive patients in a tertiary health facility in Lagos, Nigeria, over a four-year period. Patients accessing HBc IgM tests at a tertiary health facility in Lagos, Nigeria. Five (5) ml of blood samples were collected in K+EDTA vacutainers and centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 5 minutes. Plasma (2 ml) was collected in plain tubes, and HBc IgM assay was performed using DIA-Pro (BIORAD) kits according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The study period was from January 2014 to December 2017. The total number of patients who accessed this assay within the study period was 1,422. The male population was 896 (61.1%). Total HBc IgM positive and HBc IgM negative results were 197 (13.8%) and 1,225 (86.1%) respectively, and there was 1 (0.07%) equivocal. Rates of HBc IgM positivity, indicating acute infection, were 12.9%, 13.0%, 11.9%, and 15.1% in the years 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 respectively. The rate of acute HBV infection increased from 12.9% in 2014 to 15.1% in 2017, indicating likely new infection transmission ongoing in communities. These high and increasing rates require the sustenance of public health interventions.

This research explores the execution of diversion for juveniles in conflict with the law by the Indonesian National Police. Analyzing and evaluating the Indonesian justice system’s regulation of the safeguarding of children who are in conflict with the law and diversion as an aspect of safeguarding children constitutes normative research. Statutory and conceptual approaches are utilized throughout the investigation. Restorative justice is a component of the police’s strategy to combat crime on the ground, according to the findings of this study. The fundamental concept of diversion in juvenile restorative justice is the transfer of cases involving juveniles from the criminal justice process to an impartial process outside of the judicial system, with an emphasis on restoring the original situation as opposed to punishment. Consequently, the application of diversion in restoration justice in the system for juvenile offenders is less effective in the police.

The regenerative medicine methods are being actively developed both in Russia and abroad due to relevance of this direction, especially in the field of the jaw osteoplasty. Autologous, allogeneic and xenoplastic materials, as well as the calcium phosphate ceramics synthetic preparations are conventionally used to normalize and stimulate osteogenesis, however, the treatment outcomes are not always unequivocal. The study was aimed to substantiate the use of the biocomplex consisting of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) and xenoplastic material to improve the jawbone osteogenesis efficacy. The study involved 136 patients (105 females and 31 males aged 21–67) divided into four groups based on the method of bone defect restoration. In group 1, no osteoplastic material was used; in group 2, osteoplasty involved the use of the PRGF fibrin gel; in group 3, the Osteobiol Gen-Os material was used; in group 4, osteoplasty involved using the combination of the Osteobiol Gen-Os material and plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF). Computed tomography and digital densitometry were performed before surgery and 3, 6, 12 months after it to assess the dynamics of osteogenesis. A year later restoration of the lost bone tissue volume was reported in 100% of patients in group 4, 70.27% of patients in group 3, 43.47% of patients in group 2, 37.5% of patients in group 1; Fisher's exact test revealed significant differences in the osteoplasty outcomes in groups 3 and 4 (p = 0.00002). There were significant differences in bone density between patients of groups 1 and 2 twelve months after surgery (p = 0.044), between patient of groups 3 and 4 three (p = 0.004), six (p = 0.0001) and 12 (p = 0.0001) months after surgery. The findings show that the method proposed is effective.
