This article analyses how, during the period from 2013 to 2017, popular consultation was used by nine Colombian municipalities to slow mining and hydrocarbon exploitation due to their harmful socio-environmental impact. In order to do so, we review the concept of sustainable development in relation with the legal mechanisms employed to its promotion and defense. We present the developments of the extractive sector in Colombia and discuss the nine popular consultations promoted by the municipal authorities. We conclude that despite the suitability of popular consultation, it has proved to be ineffective to stop the extractive projects that generate harmful effects on the communities where they are developed.

Abstrak: Darah merupakan salah satu komponen paling penting yang ada dalam tubuh, mengingat fungsinya  sebagai alat transportasi. Kekurangan darah di dalam tubuh dapat memacu sejumlah penyakit  dimulai dari anemia, hipotensi, serangan jantung, dan beberapa penyakit lainnya. Beberapa kasus lain seperti kecelakaan, luka bakar dan proses persalinan juga memerlukan tranfusi darah akibat tingginya kemungkinan pendarahan. Terdapat dua jenis penggolongan darah yang paling penting adalah penggolongan A-B-O dan Rhesus (faktor Rh). Transfusi darah dari golongan yang tidak kompatibel dapat menyebabkan reaksi transfusi imunologis yang berakibat anemia hemolisis, gagal ginjal, syok, dan kematian. Banyak diantara kita belum mengetahui jenis golongan darah yang kita miliki. Kasus ini menjadi sangat krusial ketika individu tersebut mengalami musibah, seperti kecelakaan yang mengakibatkan darah banyak keluar. Tindakan penanganan pasien menjadi terlambat, karena individu ini belum mengetahui jenis golongan darah yang ia miliki. Berdasarkan hasil observasi dengan siswa, Kepala Sekolah dan guru-guru Madrasah Aliyah NW Bagik Polak, dapat disimpulkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa di sekolah ini belum mengetahui golongan darah yang ia miliki. Kejadian ini  menjadi dasar kami untuk melakukan pengabdian kepada masyarakaat dalam hal ini siswa untuk mengecek golongan darah yang mereka miliki.Abstract:  Blood is one of the most important components in the body, given its function as a means of transportation. Blood deficiency in the body can spur some diseases starting from anemia, hypotension, heart attack, and some other diseases. Some other cases such as accidents, burns, and childbirth also require blood transfusions due to the high likelihood of bleeding. There are two most important types of blood type which are the A-B-O and Rhesus (RH) classification. Incompatible blood transfusions can cause immunological transfusion reactions that result in hemolysis anemia, renal failure, shock, and death. Many of us do not know the type of blood group we have. This case became very crucial when the individual suffered a calamity, such as accidents that caused many types of blood to come out. The patient's treatment was delayed, as the individual did not know what type of blood he had. Based on the results of the observation with the students, the principal, and teachers of Madrasah Aliyah NW Bagik Polak, it can be concluded that most students in this school do not know the blood type he has. This incident is the basis for our devotion to the community in this case students to check the blood group they have.

The value of obinutuzumab for untreated advanced Follicular Lymphoma: an assessment based on Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)
Authors: Jommi Claudio , Ravasio Roberto
Published: November 2019

Introduction: Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) provides a framework that enhances transparency and repeatability of decisions taken on a multicriteria basis.
Objective: This analysis aims at assessing obinutuzumab compared to rituximab used as a first-line treatment for Follicular Lymphoma (FL) in the Italian health care system, using an MCDA approach.
Materials and Methods: We used the EVIDEM V10 MCDA framework and a Delphi approach to scrutinize the views of a panel of physicians, payers and patients on value domains and their application to our research target.
Results: All stakeholders attached medium-high scores to FL severity (patients at higher risk of relapsing), unmet needs, obinutuzumab clinical benefit and evidence quality, and lower scores to organizational impact and, except for payers, to costs. The comparative analysis highlighted positive scores for the domains “incremental efficacy” (2.6: range −5/+5) and “incremental patient benefit” (1.5: range −5/+5) of obinutuzumab compared to rituximab. A slight increase of severe adverse events (≥3) for obinutuzumab was estimated by the panellists. Obinutuzumab compared to rituximab received a neutral evaluation for costs and for organizational impact.
Conclusion: This study reveals that MCDA could be a useful framework for evaluating a drug and it can be used to elicit the views of different stakeholder groups (as patients). The key criteria driving the value of obinutuzumab.

Modernity and Modernism in Twentieth-Century American Picturebooks
Authors: Conrad JoAnn
Published: November 2019

American (US) picturebooks subsumed and indigenised European avant-garde influences in an uneasy tension with the impulses of industrial capitalism, often made apparent in incongruities between image and text. This article revisits the various historical forces that ultimately shaped American picturebooks, taking a hard look at the prevailing narrative. Taking the introduction of the mass-produced Little Golden Book series of the 1940s as a critical moment in which the various threads were integrated and said to have consolidated (Op de Beeck), it reveals the residual underlying tension and contradictions between form and content, ideology and aesthetics, and text and image that inhere in such a resolution.

Semantic Ontology-Based Approach to Enhance Arabic Text Classification
Authors: Hawalah Ahmad
Published: November 2019

Text classification is a process of classifying textual contents to a set of predefined classes and categories. As enormous numbers of documents and contextual contents are introduced every day on the Internet, it becomes essential to use text classification techniques for different purposes such as enhancing search retrieval and recommendation systems. A lot of work has been done to study different aspects of English text classification techniques. However, little attention has been devoted to study Arabic text classification due to the difficulty of processing Arabic language. Consequently, in this paper, we propose an enhanced Arabic topic-discovery architecture (EATA) that can use ontology to provide an effective Arabic topic classification mechanism. We have introduced a semantic enhancement model to improve Arabic text classification and the topic discovery technique by utilizing the rich semantic information in Arabic ontology. We rely in this study on the vector space model (term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF)) as well as the cosine similarity approach to classify new Arabic textual documents.
Stochastic Schrödinger Equations and Conditional States: A General Non-Markovian Quantum Electron Transport Simulator for THz Electronics
Authors: Pandey Devashish , Colomés Enrique , Albareda Guillermo , Oriols Xavier
Published: November 2019

A prominent tool to study the dynamics of open quantum systems is the reduced density matrix. Yet, approaching open quantum systems by means of state vectors has well known computational advantages. In this respect, the physical meaning of the so-called conditional states in Markovian and non-Markovian scenarios has been a topic of recent debate in the construction of stochastic Schrödinger equations. We shed light on this discussion by acknowledging the Bohmian conditional wavefunction (linked to the corresponding Bohmian trajectory) as the proper mathematical object to represent, in terms of state vectors, an arbitrary subset of degrees of freedom. As an example of the practical utility of these states, we present a time-dependent quantum Monte Carlo algorithm to describe electron transport in open quantum systems under general (Markovian or non-Markovian) conditions. By making the most of trajectory-based and wavefunction methods, the resulting simulation technique extends to the quantum regime, the computational capabilities that the Monte Carlo solution of the Boltzmann transport equation offers for semi-classical electron devices.

Authors: Bormashenko Edward
Published: November 2019

The Landauer principle asserts that “the information is physical”. In its strict meaning, Landauer’s principle states that there is a minimum possible amount of energy required to erase one bit of information, known as the Landauer bound W = k B T l n 2 , where T is the temperature of a thermal reservoir used in the process and k B is Boltzmann’s constant. Modern computers use the binary system in which a number is expressed in the base-2 numeral system. We demonstrate that the Landauer principle remains valid for the physical computing device based on the ternary, and more generally, N-based logic. The energy necessary for erasure of one bit of information (the Landauer bound) W = k B T l n 2 remains untouched for the computing devices exploiting a many-valued logic.
Simulation of Synchronized-Switching Method Energy Harvester Including Accurate Piezoceramic Nonlinear Behavior
Authors: Ducharne Benjamin , Gupta Bhaawan , Litak Grzegorz
Published: November 2019

Synchronized-switching techniques have significantly enhanced the harvested energy from semipassive and active surrounding ambient mechanical vibration harvesters. They have allowed a large improvement of vibration-control efficiency using piezoelectric devices. Unfortunately, for such techniques, dielectric limitations appear as soon as the piezoceramic operates under external solicitation of higher amplitudes and frequencies. Under extreme conditions, active materials exhibit nonlinear behavior related to dielectric hysteresis that significantly reduces their performance. In this work, we focus on this nonlinear behavior and its consequences in terms of system efficiency. We apply a realistic model including accurate material laws. In such models, a constant piezoelectric coupling d 31 is not suitable as a coefficient anymore and it should be replaced by a function depending on the polarization level through the active material. The response of more realistic systems including hysteresis was taken into account and compared with the basic model, where a constant d 31 was considered.

In order to cater for increased demand for natural gas (NG) by the industry, Malaysia is required to import liquid natural gas (LNG). This is done through PETRONAS GAS Sdn Bhd. For LNG regasification, two regasification terminals have been set up, one in Sungai Udang Melaka (RGTSU) and another at Pengerang Johor (RGTPJ). RGTSU started operation in 2013 while RGTPJ began operation in 2017. The capacities of RGTSU and RGTPJ are 3.8 (500 mmscfd) and 3.5 (490 mmscfd) MTPA, respectively. RGTSU is an offshore plant and uses an intermediate-fluid-vaporization (IFV) process for regasification. RGTPJ is an onshore plant and employs open-rack vaporization (ORV). It is known that a substantial amount of cold energy is released during the regasification process. However, neither plant captures the cold energy released during regasification. This techno economic study serves to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of the cold energy available during regasification. It was estimated that approximately 47,214 and 88,383 kWh of cold energy could be generated daily at RGTPJ and RGTSU, respectively, during regasification processes. Converting this energy into RTh at 70% thermal efficiency, and taking the commercial rate of 0.549 Sen per RTh, for the 20-year project life, an internal rate of return (IRR) of up to 33% and 17% was estimated for RGTPJ and for RGTSU, respectively.
Multi-Site Photovoltaic Forecasting Exploiting Space-Time Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Jeong Jaeik , Kim Hongseok
Published: November 2019

The accurate forecasting of photovoltaic (PV) power generation is critical for smart grids and the renewable energy market. In this paper, we propose a novel short-term PV forecasting technique called the space-time convolutional neural network (STCNN) that exploits the location information of multiple PV sites and historical PV generation data. The proposed structure is simple but effective for multi-site PV forecasting. In doing this, we propose a greedy adjoining algorithm to preprocess PV data into a space-time matrix that captures spatio-temporal correlation, which is learned by a convolutional neural network. Extensive experiments with multi-site PV generation from three typical states in the US (California, New York, and Alabama) show that the proposed STCNN outperforms the conventional methods by up to 33% and achieves fairly accurate PV forecasting, e.g., 4.6–5.3% of the mean absolute percentage error for a 6 h forecasting horizon. We also investigate the effect of PV sites aggregation for virtual power plants where errors from some sites can be compensated by other sites. The proposed STCNN shows substantial error reduction by up to 40% when multiple PV sites are aggregated.
Analysis of Ripple Current in the Capacitors of Active Power Filters
Authors: Platek Tadeusz
Published: November 2019

This article provides formulae to determine the root mean square (rms) value of a capacitor current in an inductive-capacitive-inductive (LCL) filter used in a parallel active power filter (PAPF) circuit. The article presents an analysis of three components of the capacitor current: a component forced by the usually distorted voltage of the grid; a component forced by the nonlinear load current harmonics and harmonics in the output current of the PAPF that compensates them (a novel aspect presented in this document); and a component forced by the inverters of the PAPF containing carrier and sideband harmonics. The article also presents formulae for determining the rms value of current harmonics in dc-link capacitors forced by the ripple of the ac output current without load of the filter inverters (also novel to this document). The results of the analysis have been confirmed by simulation and experimental research of a commercial active filter consisting of two parallel interleaved voltage inverters. Elements of the LCL filter of the PAPF have been selected according to dependencies available in scientific and technical literature. In addition, the formulae presented in the article are used to verify the correctness of selection of capacitors from the point of view of their catalogue acceptable rms value of capacitor current.
Changes in Vertical Distribution of Zooplankton under Wind-Induced Turbulence: A 36-Year Record
Authors: Tanaka Mamoru
Published: November 2019

A multidecadal record of a local zooplankton community, stored in an open-access database, was analyzed with wind data to examine the impact of wind-induced turbulence on vertical distribution of zooplankton. Two major findings were made. First, the abundance of zooplankton assemblage (composed of copepods, cladocerans, etc.) in the upper layer (<10 m deep) decreased with increasing turbulence intensity, suggesting turbulence avoidance by zooplankton. Second, when focusing on each species, it was found that ambush (sit-and-wait) feeders showed statistically significant changes in response to turbulence, whereas suspension (filter) feeders did not. This is the first clear evidence that ambush feeders change vertical distribution in response to turbulence.

An understanding of the enrichment mechanisms of cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) in the process of rock weathering and soil formation is essential to develop agriculture according to local conditions. However, the enrichments of soil Cd and As under natural background conditions in karst areas are still uncertain. The enrichment factor, geo-accumulation index, redundancy analysis, and other methods were used to analyze the enrichment degree and the influencing factors of Cd and As on 5 rock–soil profiles and 15 topsoil samples, which were collected from a karst forest area in Libo County, Guizhou Province. The results showed that the enrichment process was divided into three stages. In the first stage, Cd and As were enriched in carbonate rocks, and their mean concentrations were 1.65 and 3.9 times those of the corresponding abundance of the crust. In the second stage, the enrichment of the parent rock into the soil, the enrichment factors of Cd and As in the parent material horizon relative to the bedrock horizon were 9.2 and 2.82, respectively. The third stage refers to the enrichments of Cd and As in the topsoil, where Cd enrichment was more obvious than that of As. Soil organic matter (SOM) and phosphorus (P) are important factors that influenced the enrichments of Cd and As in the topsoil. The functional groups of SOM were complexed with Cd and As; P easily formed precipitates with Cd, and the tree litter was fed back to the topsoil, which may be the reason for the surface enrichment of Cd and As. This study will help the scientific community understand the enrichment mechanisms of soil Cd and As in karst areas.

A police officer’s career is hazardous and physically demanding. In order to perform occupational tasks effectively and without injury, officers require adequate physical abilities. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between scores on several fitness tests and musculoskeletal injury in a group of municipal police officers. This retrospective study used existing data to examine the relationship between risk of injury and fitness test performance. Injured and uninjured police officers scored significantly differently on several fitness measures. A multivariate regression indicated that a combination of age, sex, number of pull ups completed and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) best explained injury risk. Additionally, the findings indicated an interaction between sex and VO2max, and so the effect of VO2max on injury risk cannot be understood without accounting for sex.

Published: November 2019

Emergency logistics plays an important role in the rescue process after sudden disasters. However, in the process of emergency logistics activities, risks may arise due to scheduling problems or insufficient supply of warehouse stocks, resulting in an insufficient rescue capacity. In addition, the risk of emergency logistics is random and may exist in a certain link or throughout the whole rescue process of emergency logistics. Consequently, the disaster site may be invaded by sudden disaster risk due to the lack of necessary material supplies. The entire emergency logistics system may be destroyed and cause even greater losses as well. Based on this phenomenon, this paper introduces reliability factors of materials and combines the complex network theory to build an emergency logistics network and analyze the emergency logistics risk propagation mechanism. This paper firstly builds an emergency logistics network based on complex network theory. Then, it combines the improved epidemic model to analyze the influencing factors of risk propagation in the emergency logistics network. Finally, this paper probes into the emergency logistics risk propagation mechanisms and processes in terms of network type, material reliability, rescue speed, etc. Furthermore, this paper identifies key factors for risk control and proposes countermeasures to further spread risks, thereby reducing the risk to loss of economic life.
