Authors: MOVSISYAN TATEVIK
Published: December 2022

The ongoing educational reforms in the European Higher Education
Area (EHEA), the COVID-19 and the post-war situation in Armenia have arisen
new issues for the quality education system of the Republic of Armenia. The
need for simultaneous transformation of the policies and strategies have
become urgent. Taking into account the urgency of reviewing the
management approaches to the education quality assurance system of the RA,
the interrelationship between the strategic management and quality
assurance, the strategic approaches of ANQA and 13 accredited HEIs are
analyzed in this article.
The analysis of a professional literature and a number of other
documents shows that strategic development of the HEIs is largely
conditioned by the effective implementation of quality assurance processes. At
the same time, the research proves that the processes in the RA higher
education system are not fully implemented in accordance with the principles
of strategic management and the ideology of the Bologna process.
Particularly, while developing strategies, the HEIs do not take into account
their sectoral peculiarities. In most of the studied HEIs, there is still a gap
between the strategic management and quality assurance processes. Although
in the documents quality assurance is considered as a separate direction of
strategic development of the activities of the HEIs, the issues aimed at
improving the quality of education are not practically solved, thus reducing
the effectiveness of reforms.

At the Departement of Agriculture and Food, Kudus Regency, in the process of managing livestock data, they still use conventional methods. In the data collection process, Microsoft still uses Microsoft Excel which is still less effective and efficient. Previously, the community could not know the livestock data collection, the development of livestock in the Kudus Regency so it could not be monitored. In the livestock business data collection process, livestock development still uses livestock development records which can cause misinformation in activities and can resultin piles of livestock development data files so that they are less effective in managing livestock data because they have to work twice in the data management process at the Agriculture and Food Service Kudus District. For this reason, the research on making this information system aims to produce a system that can be used to manage livestock data (micro-scale) both commodity data, micro-scale data, livestock data collection, evidence of data collection, livestock development, counseling schedules, and reports. So it is necessary in this study to produce an Information System for animal Data Management (Micro Business Scale) at the Departement of Agriculture and Food, Kudus Regency.

Observed water and light limitation across global ecosystems
Authors: Jonard François , Feldman Andrew F. , Short Gianotti Daniel J. , Entekhabi Dara
Published: December 2022

Abstract. With a changing climate, it is becoming increasingly critical to
understand vegetation responses to limiting environmental factors. Here, we
investigate the spatial and temporal patterns of light and water limitation
on photosynthesis using an observational framework. Our study is unique in
characterizing the nonlinear relationships between photosynthesis and water
and light, acknowledging approximately two regime behaviours (no limitation
and varying degrees of limitation). It is also unique in using an
observational framework instead of using model-derived photosynthesis
properties. We combine data from three different satellite sensors, i.e.,
sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), surface soil
moisture from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) microwave radiometer, and vegetation greenness from the Moderate
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). We find both
single-regime and two-regime models describe SIF sensitivity to soil
moisture and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) across the globe. The
distribution and strength of soil moisture limitation on SIF are mapped in
the water-limited environments, while the distribution and strength of PAR
limitations are mapped in the energy-limited environments. A two-regime
behaviour is detected in 73 % of the cases for water limitation on
photosynthesis, while two-regime detection is much lower at 41 % for light limitation on photosynthesis. SIF sensitivity to PAR strongly increases
along moisture gradients, reflecting mesic vegetation's adaptation to making
rapid usage of incoming light availability on the weekly timescales. The
transition point detected between the two regimes is connected to soil type
and mean annual precipitation for the SIF–soil moisture relationship and for
the SIF–PAR relationship. These thresholds therefore have an explicit
relation to properties of the landscape, although they may also be related
to finer details of the vegetation and soil interactions not resolved by the
spatial scales here. The simple functions and thresholds are emergent
behaviours capturing the interaction of many processes. The observational
thresholds and strength of coupling can be used as benchmark information for
Earth system models, especially those that characterize gross primary
production mechanisms and vegetation dynamics.
Deep Learning for Verification of Earth-System Parametrisation of Water Bodies

Published: December 2022

Abstract. About 2/3 of all densely populated areas (i.e. at least 300 inhabitants per km2) around the globe are situated within a 9 km radius of a permanent waterbody (i.e. inland water or sea/ocean coast), since inland water sustains the vast majority of human activities. Water bodies exchange mass and energy with the atmosphere and need to be accurately simulated in numerical weather prediction and climate modelling as they strongly influence the lower boundary conditions such as skin temperatures, turbulent latent and sensible heat fluxes and moisture availability near the surface. All the non-ocean water (resolved and sub-grid lakes and coastal waters) are represented in the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model, by the Fresh-water Lake (FLake) parametrisation, which treats ~1/3 of the land. It is a continuous enterprise to update the surface parametrization schemes and their input fields to better represent small-scale processes. It is, however, difficult to quickly determine both the accuracy of an updated parametrisation, and the added value gained for the purposes of numerical modelling. The aim of our work is to quickly and automatically assess the benefits of an updated lake parametrisation making use of a neural network regression model trained to simulate satellite observed surface skin temperatures. We deploy this tool to determine the accuracy of recent upgrades to the FLake parametrisation, namely the improved permanent lake cover and the capacity to represent seasonally varying water bodies (i.e. ephemeral lakes). We show that for grid-cells where the lake fields have been updated, the prediction accuracy in the land surface temperature improves by 0.45 K on average, whilst for the subset of points where the lakes have been exchanged for bare ground (or vice versa) the improvement is 1.12 K. We also show that updates to the glacier cover improve further the prediction accuracy by 0.14 K. The inclusion of seasonal water is shown to be particularly effective for grid points which are highly time variable, generally improving the simulation accuracy by ~1 K. The neural network regression model has proven to be useful and easily adaptable to assess unforeseen impacts of ancillary datasets, also detecting inappropriate changes of high vegetation to bare ground, which would lead to decreased the skin temperature simulation accuracy by 0.49 K, proving to be a valuable support to model development.
Scaled Kendrick Mass Defect Analysis for Improved Visualization of Atmospheric Mass Spectral Data

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Mass spectrometry is an important analytical technique within the field of atmospheric chemistry. Owing to advances in instrumentation, particularly with regards to mass resolving power and instrument response factors (sensitivities), hundreds of different mass-to-charge (m/z) signals are routinely measured. This large number of detected ions creates challenges for data visualization. Furthermore, assignment of chemical formulas to these ions is time-consuming and increases in difficulty at the higher m/z ranges. We present a technique called scaled Kendrick mass defect (SKMD) analysis to facilitate the visualization and peak identification processes for typical atmospheric organic (and to some extent inorganic) compounds. SKMD is related to the previously proposed resolution enhanced Kendrick mass defect (REKMD). SKMD introduces a tunable integer scaling factor into the mass defect equation that effectively contracts or expands the mass scale. The SKMD transformation maintains the horizontal alignment of ion series related by integer multiples of the chosen base unit that is characteristic of Kendrick mass defect analysis. However, the tunable integer acts to alter the mass defect spacing between different homologue ion series. As a result, the entire mass defect range (-0.5 to 0.5) is more effectively used simplifying data visualization and facilitating chemical formula assignment. We describe the mechanism of this transformation and discuss base unit and scaling factor selections appropriate for compounds typically found in atmospheric measurements. We present an open-source graphical user interface (GUI) for calculating and visualizing SKMD analysis results within the Igor Pro Environment.
Why is ozone in South Korea and the Seoul Metropolitan Area so high and increasing?

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Surface ozone pollution in South Korea has increased over the past two decades, despite efforts to decrease emissions, and is pervasively in exceedance of the maximum daily 8-hr average (MDA8) standard of 60 ppb. Here, we investigate the 2015–2019 trends in surface ozone and NO2 concentrations over South Korea and the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA), focusing on the 90th percentile MDA8 ozone as an air quality metric. We use a random forest algorithm to remove the effect of meteorological variability on the 2015–2019 trends and find an emission-driven ozone increase of up to 1.5 ppb a-1 in April–May while NO2 decreases by 22 %. GEOS-Chem model simulations including recent chemical updates can successfully simulate surface ozone over South Korea and China as well as the very high free tropospheric ozone observed above 2 km altitude (mean 75 ppb in May–June), and can reproduce the observed 2015–2019 emission-driven ozone trend over the SMA including its seasonality. Further investigation of the model trend for May, when meteorology-corrected ozone and its increase are the highest, reveals that a decrease in South Korea NOx emissions is the main driver for the SMA ozone increase. Although this result implies that decreasing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions is necessary to decrease ozone, we find that SMA ozone would still remain above 80 ppb even if all anthropogenic emissions in South Korea were shut off. China contributes only 8 ppb to this elevated South Korea background and ship emissions contribute only a few ppb. Zeroing out all anthropogenic emissions in East Asia in the model indicates a remarkably high external background of 56 ppb, consistent with the high concentrations observed in the free troposphere, implying that the air quality standard in South Korea is not practically achievable unless this background external to East Asia can be decreased.

Abstract. Irrigation water use represents the primary source of freshwater consumption by humans. The amount of water withdrawals for agricultural purposes is expected to further increase in the upcoming years to face the rising world population and higher living standards. Hence, effective plans for enacting a rational management of agricultural water use are urgent, but they are limited by knowledge gaps about irrigation. Detailed information on irrigation dynamics (i.e., extents, timing, and amounts) is generally lacking worldwide, but satellite observations can be used to fill this gap. This paper describes the first regional-scale and high-resolution (1 and 6 km) irrigation water data sets obtained from satellite observations. The products are developed over three major river basins characterized by varying irrigation extents and methodologies, as well as by different climatic conditions. The data sets are an outcome of the European Space Agency (ESA) Irrigation+ project. The irrigation amounts have been estimated through the SM-based (Soil-Moisture-based) inversion approach over the Ebro river basin (North-eastern Spain), the Po valley (Northern Italy), and the Murray-Darling basin (South-eastern Australia). The satellite-derived irrigation products referring to the case studies in Europe have a spatial resolution of 1 km, and they are retrieved by exploiting Sentinel-1 soil moisture data obtained through the RT1 (first-order Radiative Transfer) model. A spatial sampling of 6 km is instead used for the Australian pilot area, since in this case the soil moisture information comes from CYGNSS (Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System) observations. All the irrigation products are delivered with a weekly temporal aggregation. The 1 km data sets over the two European regions cover a period ranging from January 2016 to July 2020, while the irrigation estimates over the Murray-Darling basin are available for the time span April 2017 – July 2020. The retrieved irrigation amounts have been compared with benchmark rates collected over selected agricultural districts. Results highlight satisfactory performances over the major part of the pilot sites falling within the two regions characterized by a semi-arid climate, namely the Ebro and the Murray-Darling basins, quantified by median values of RMSE, Pearson correlation, r, and BIAS equal to 12.4 mm/14-day, 0.66, and -4.62 mm/14-day, respectively, for the Ebro basin and to 10.54 mm/month, 0.77, and -3.07 mm/month, respectively, for the Murray-Darling basin. The assessment of the performances over the Po valley is affected by the limited availability of in situ reference data for irrigation.
Accounting for Hydroclimatic Properties in Flood Frequency Analysis Procedures
Authors: Reinders Joeri B. , Munoz Samuel E.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Flood hazard is typically evaluated by computing extreme flood probabilities from a flood frequency distribution following nationally defined procedures in which observed peak flow series are fit to a parametric probability distribution. These procedures, also known as flood frequency analysis, typically recommend only one probability distribution family for all watersheds within a country or region. However, extreme flood probability estimates (> 500-year-flood or Q500) can be biased when fit to an inappropriate distribution model because of differences in the tails between distribution families. Here, we demonstrate that hydroclimatic parameters can aid the selection of a parametric flood frequency distribution. We use L-moment diagrams to visually show the fit of gaged annual maxima series across the United States, grouped by their Köppen climate classification and the precipitation intensities of the basin, to a General Extreme Value (GEV), Log Normal 3 (LN3) and (log-)Pearson 3 (P3) distribution. Our results show that basic hydroclimatic properties of a basin exert a significant influence on the statistical distribution of the annual maxima. The best-fitted family distribution shifts from an GEV towards an LN3 distribution across a gradient from colder and wetter climates (Köppen group D, continental climates) towards more arid climates (Köppen group B, dry climates). Due to the diversity of hydrologic processes and flood generating mechanisms among watersheds within large countries like the United States, we recommend that the selection of distribution model be guided by the hydroclimatic properties of the basin rather than relying on a single national distribution model.

Maximum Power Extraction from PV System using fast and Robust Backstepping Controller
Authors: Saqlain Syed  , Amjadullah Khattak
Published: December 2022

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) plays a pivotal role in enhancing output power extracted from photovoltaic (PV) system. The major obstacle against MPPT is occurrence of undesired chattering and environmental variations, which may affect desire objective. Hence, in this paper, the objective of MPPT is fulfilled by using a non-linear Fast and Robust Backstepping based on sliding mode controller (FRBSMC), which has less rise time, fast convergence and robust enough against uncertainties and variations. For MPPT, a reference voltage is generated using neural network, which is tracked by proposed controller to confirm the accuracy and efficiency of aforementioned controller. To ensure the effectiveness of proposed control scheme, a comparison is carried with Backstepping sliding mode controller (BSMC), Backstepping controller (BSC) and Perturb and Observe (P&O) controllers. Simulation of the mentioned controller is done in Simulink/MATLAB.
Maturity-based correction mechanism for talent identification: When is it needed, does it work, and does it help to better predict who will make it to the pros?

Published: December 2022

When identifying talent, the confounding influence of maturity status on motor performances is an acknowledged problem. To solve this problem, correction mechanisms have been proposed to transform maturity-biased test scores into maturity-unbiased ones. Whether or not such corrections also improve predictive validity remains unclear. To address this question, we calculated correlations between maturity indicators and motor performance variables among a sample of 121 fifteen-year-old elite youth football players in Switzerland. We corrected motor performance scores identified as maturity-biased, and we assessed correction procedure efficacy. Subsequently, we examined whether corrected scores better predicted levels of performance achievement 6 years after data collection (47 professionals vs. 74 non-professional players) compared with raw scores using point biserial correlations, binary logistic regression models, and DeLong tests. Expectedly, maturity indicators correlated with raw scores (0.16 ≤ | r | ≤ 0.72; ps < 0.05), yet not with corrected scores. Contrary to expectations, corrected scores were not associated with an additional predictive benefit (univariate: no significant r-change; multivariate: 0.02 ≤ ΔAUC ≤ 0.03, ps > 0.05). We do not interpret raw and corrected score equivalent predictions as a sign of correction mechanism futility (more work for the same output); rather we view them as an invitation to take corrected scores seriously into account (same output, one fewer problem) and to revise correction-related expectations according to initial predictive validity of motor variables, validity of maturity indicators, initial maturity-bias, and selection systems. Recommending maturity-based corrections is legitimate, yet currently based on theoretical rather than empirical (predictive) arguments.

Published: December 2022

Despite information from world media, worldwide interest in artistic gymnastics has never been assessed. Memberships, equipment and apparel purchases, subscriptions, and other data have been used as indirect substitutes for gauging interest and participation in gymnastics. A readily available tool for assessing gymnastics interest could be of use in uncovering myriad trends. Aim of Study: This study sought to use a relatively new internet search tool called Google TrendsTM (GT) to assess gymnastics interest by records of search terms used in GoogleTM. Methods: GoogleTM searches involve the use of search terms that are recorded and then accessible by GT. As GoogleTM searches provide access to topics of interest nearly anywhere in the world, by anyone with internet access, then using Google TrendsTM, then GT could be used to harvest the number and types of searches involving the search-terms “men’s gymnastics” and “women’s gymnastics.” The tally of the search terms was obtained using filters such as country, region, and others. GT reports the search-term trends by calculating a relative percentage based on a sample of the largest number of specific search-term use during a particular time. Although the relative percentage approach is somewhat awkward, processing large amounts of data may be considered valuable and otherwise unattainable. Results and Conclusions: Results should be interpreted cautiously. However, the analysis revealed a litany of important trends in the worldwide interest in gymnastics.

The emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has affected many countries throughout the world. As urgency is a necessity, most efforts have focused on identifying small molecule drugs that can be repurposed for use as anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents. Although several drug candidates have been identified using in silico method and in vitro studies, most of these drugs require the support of in vivo data before they can be considered for clinical trials. Several drugs are considered promising therapeutic agents for COVID-19. In addition to the direct-acting antiviral drugs, supportive therapies including traditional Chinese medicine, immunotherapies, immunomodulators, and nutritional therapy could contribute a major role in treating COVID-19 patients. Some of these drugs have already been included in the treatment guidelines, recommendations, and standard operating procedures. In this article, we comprehensively review the approved and potential therapeutic drugs, immune cells-based therapies, immunomodulatory agents/drugs, herbs and plant metabolites, nutritional and dietary for COVID-19.

Double Eyelid Crease Surgery for Ingrown Eyelashes: A Case Report
Authors: Chilliveri Prashant , Vanitha Baluka , Kumar Y. Shiva
Published: December 2022

Introduction: In order to filter particles and protect the eyes, eyelashes on the upper eyelids often grow upward. These eyelashes can occasionally grow downward, which can result in ocular discharge, conjunctival injection, and a feeling of a foreign body. Trichiasis is the medical word for this illness in ophthalmology. A minor form of cicatricial entropion is the main culprit. However, congenital disorders like Epi-blepharon are very frequently observed in Asian kids. Cryotherapy, eyelash epilation, elliptical excision for eliminating the surplus skin, soft tissue, and fat, after which the muscle fascia is attached to the tarsal to form double eye lid folds, are a few management techniques for this condition based on the causes.
Case presentation: A fifteen-year-old boy who had a problem with his upper eyelashes growing downward was brought to an outpatient clinic. They resulted in ocular drainage and irritation. Physical exam revealed no evidence of a traumatic occurrence. No conjunctival injection, no eye discharge, and no cicatrix on the upper eye lids are present in either eye, and both eyes have upper eyelashes that have grown down to the eyeballs. The general state is unimpressive. As a result, the incision technique was chosen to create the eye creases, with the primary goal being to raise the top eyelids and eyelashes.
Discussion & Conclusion: Local anesthesia was used throughout the surgery. In order to remove a small amount of skin, subcutaneous tissue, soft tissues, and slightly protruding fat, an oval incision was made. To produce double eyelids, the tarsal plates are joined to the muscular fascia. Incision method in creating double eyelids looked natural and it stays permanent.

Mills hemiplegic variant is a progressive motor neuron disease characterized by spastic ascending or descending hemiparesis or hemiplegia with no sensory involvement. We presented a 53years old male patient with a history of present complaints was difficulty on walking, and difficulty in speech then he developed left lower limb weakness followed by left upper limb weakness for the last 6 months. Electromyography showed a neurogenic pattern with denervation with reinnervation. Then, he successfully accomplished his treatment. The biggest challenge in making a diagnosis is ruling out other conditions that may have symptoms similar to this disease entity.

Chronic mesenteric ischemia: A review of current diagnostic and terminology issues
Authors: Palabugina P. A. , Popov A. A. , Izmozherova N. V.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. Chronic mesenterial ischemia (CMI) is a group of extremely dangerous diseases, considered to be rare, clinically manifested by persistent abdominal pain syndrome, stool disorders, weight loss. CMI can develop both as a result of direct lesion of the unpaired branches of the abdominal aorta and as a result of compression from outside under the influence of extravasal factors. Up to 80 % of patients with diagnosed cardiovascular diseases have clinical manifestations of CMI.

The aim of the work was to determine the etiological structure, risk factors, principles of classification and diagnosis of chronic ischemia of the digestive organs.

Materials and Methods This review includes 47 papers on techniques, techniques, and outcomes of treatment interventions, selected from 835 publications found by keyword in PubMed, Google Scholar, and elibrary.ru databases with a search depth from 1990 to 2021.

Results and Discussion There is no generally accepted terminology and classification of CMI. More than 90 % of CMI cases are related to atherosclerotic vascular lesion. The high-risk population includes women over 60 years of age. The classic triad of CMI symptoms includes food-related abdominal pain, weight loss, abdominal aortic auscultation murmur, but due to the nonspecific nature of the complaints, diagnosis is difficult. Clinical suspicion of CMI and re-analysis of the data increase the informative value of radial diagnostic methods.

Conclusion Diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischemia is an interdisciplinary problem, requires interaction of physicians of different specialties: general practitioner or general practitioner, abdominal and vascular surgeon, gastroenterologist, radiologist, endoscopist. The presence of clinical suspicion of CMI increases the informativeness, timeliness and adequacy interpretation of the results of high-tech methods of radiological diagnostics.

Introduction. Connective tissue dysplasia (СTD) is a common condition that affects the function of various components of the body.

The aim of the work is to determine the current state of the problem of structural and functional characteristics of erythrocytes in persons with СTD.

Materials and methods The authors conducted a search and analysis of works in the scientific electronic library E-library, the Federal Electronic Medical Library of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the bibliographic database of medical publications Medline using the keywords: erythrocytes, membrane structure, erythrocyte functions, hematopoiesis, erythrocyte life cycle, erythrocyte forms, combined with the terms: connective tissue dysplasia, connective tissue, diagnostic methods, antioxidant protection, lipid peroxidation. Fifty-three sources were selected for the review.

Results and Discussion Erythrocytes originate from mesenchymal tissue and have their own structural and functional features in individuals with СTD, namely, a violation of the structure of the submembrane cytoskeleton, a change in the composition and location of phospholipids inside the erythrocyte membrane, leading to a decrease in the plasticity of the blood cell membrane. In addition, the appearance of prehemolytic and degenerative forms of erythrocytes has been detected, which also contributes to a reduction in the life cycle of erythrocytes and a tendency to anemia in people with СTD.

Conclusion Individuals with СTD have an increased risk of anemia due to structural and functional features of red blood cells, which may lead to hemolysis, which should be taken into account in the examination and management of patients with СTD.
