Abstract. Isotopic composition of precipitation in the mountains of four Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) was measured using 908 event-based precipitation samples collected at eight sites in 2019–2021, and 7 monthly samples from Dushanbe (Tajikistan) thereby filling a gap in stable isotope data for the region. Regional and seasonal patterns of δ18O, δD and D-excess were investigated. Local Meteoric Water Lines (LMWL) derived using seven regression methods using both non-weighted and weighted precipitation. It is recommended that the non-weighted Ordinary Least Squares Regression (OLSR) and Reduced Major Axis Regression (RMA) methods can be applied across the region except in summer, when the Precipitation-Weighted Least Squares Regression (PWLSR) method is recommended. An atmospheric back trajectory analysis and a mixing model were applied in combination for the first time, using the δ18O, δD and D-excess data, to identify the atmospheric moisture source regions and quantify the relative importance. The main distant sources were the Black and Caspian Seas region, Iran – eastern Mediterranean, and northern Kazakhstan – Siberia. The recycled moisture from the irrigated lower reaches of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers, and from the study catchments, accounted for 29–71 % of the atmospheric moisture reaching the observation points. In spring, summer and winter, in the Chon-Kyzyl-Suu catchment, up to 85 % of the precipitation was estimated to be derived from local re-evaporation, most likely from Lake Issyk Kul. These findings highlight the importance of moisture from terrestrial sources, especially irrigated land, in precipitation formation in Central Asia.

Abstract. Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) continue to demand attention due to their widespread presence and well-established health implications. Given that incomplete combustion is a major contributor to PACs and inhalation constitutes a crucial human exposure pathway, a comprehensive understanding of the concentrations, spatial distributions, and fates of a broad range of PACs in the atmosphere is important. Passive air samplers (PASs) are a commonly utilized technique for PAC sampling and monitoring. In this study, we present the results from two one-year calibration experiments, one starting in summer and the other in winter, using a passive air sampler equipped with XAD resin as the sorbent (XAD-PAS). Throughout both experiments, PACs were consistently sorbed during the initial six-month period. However, the sorbed amounts for many PACs exhibited a decrease after half a year of deployment. Three hypotheses to explain this phenomenon were explored, including the uptake of atmospheric particles, evaporation from the sorbent, and reactions with photooxidants. All had to be rejected based on the obtained data, additional laboratory experiments and model results. Model simulations were further used to (i) confirm that a loss process must be invoked to explain the observed uptake behaviour and (ii) estimate the kinetics of that loss process for different PACs. Sampling rates (SRs) for 28 PACs derived from the linearized uptake curves during the first six months of deployment were comparable to those of other semi-volatile organic compounds obtained during the same calibration experiment, and they also demonstrate a consistent negative correlation with volatility.

Published: October 2023

Abstract. The infrared spectra of synthetic corundum (α-Al2O3) samples either doped directly with divalent cations (Mg2+) or containing divalent cations formed by reduction of trivalent cations in H2 gas (Co2+, Ni2+) may display broad OH stretching bands at ∼3000 cm−1 due to the structural incorporation of trace amounts of hydrogen. Experimental spectra recorded from some natural sapphires display a similar absorption band associated with a dominant absorption at 3161 cm−1, and some beryllium-diffused corundum crystals show a band at 3060 cm−1. All of these also display smaller and generally narrower bands between 1900 and 2700 cm−1, whose natures are poorly defined. In this work, the atomic-scale structure, relative stability and infrared spectroscopic properties of a series of OH defects in corundum (α-Al2O3) are theoretically investigated at the density-functional-theory level. The investigated defects consist of interstitial H+ ions forming OH groups and compensating for the charge imbalance related to the presence of divalent cations (Be2+, Mg2+, Cr2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+) substituted for Al3+ at nearby octahedral sites. Bands occurring at ∼3000 cm−1 in experimental spectra are assigned to the OH stretching modes of some of these defects, with bands observed around 1900 and 2700 cm−1 being assigned to overtones of corresponding OH bending modes. The results also support the assignment of the so-called “3161 cm−1 series”, observed in experimental spectra of some rubies and yellow sapphires, to structural OH groups in association with Fe2+ ions, rather than Si4+, as has been previously proposed. These inferences are also supported by analysis of correlations between band areas in experimental infrared spectra extracted from a database of corundum gemstones. A qualitative explanation relating the anomalous intensity and the polarisation properties of the OH bending overtone bands to the electrical anharmonicity of OH groups involved in medium-strength H bonds is proposed.

Abstract. We present the first national-scale lead (Pb) isotope maps of Australia based on surface regolith for five isotope ratios, 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, 208Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/206Pb, and 208Pb/206Pb, determined by single collector Sector Field-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry after an Ammonium Acetate leach followed by Aqua Regia digestion. The dataset is underpinned principally by the National Geochemical Survey of Australia (NGSA) archived floodplain sediment samples. We analysed 1219 ‘top coarse’ (0–10 cm depth, <2 mm grain size) samples, collected near the outlet of 1119 large catchments covering 5.647 million km2 (~75 % of Australia). The samples consist of mixtures of the dominant soils and rocks weathering in their respective catchments (and possibly those upstream) and are therefore assumed to form a reasonable representation of the average isotopic signature of those catchments. This assumption was tested in one of the NGSA catchments, within which 12 similar ‘top coarse’ samples were also taken; results show that the Pb isotope ratios of the NGSA catchment outlet sediment sample are close to the average of the 12 sub-catchment, upstream samples. National minimum, median and maximum values reported for 206Pb/204Pb were 15.558, 18.844, 30.635; for 207Pb/204Pb 14.358, 15.687, 18.012; for 208Pb/204Pb 33.558, 38.989, 48.873; for 207Pb/206Pb 0.5880, 0.8318, 0.9847; and for 208Pb/206Pb 1.4149, 2.0665, 2.3002, respectively. The new dataset was compared with published bedrock and ore Pb isotope data, and was found to dependably represent crustal elements of various ages from Archean to Phanerozoic. This suggests that floodplain sediment samples are a suitable proxy for basement and basin geology at this scale, despite various degrees of transport, mixing, and weathering experienced in the regolith environment, locally over protracted periods of time. An example of atmospheric Pb contamination around Port Pirie, South Australia, where a Pb smelter has operated since the 1890s, is shown to illustrate potential environmental applications of this new dataset. Other applications may include elucidating detail of Australian crustal evolution and mineralisation-related investigations. The new regolith Pb isotope dataset for Australia is publicly available (Desem et al., 2023; http://dx.doi.org/10.26186/5ea8f6fd3de64).

Abstract. Accurate information on surface soil moisture (SSM) content at a global scale under different climatic conditions is important for hydrological and climatological applications. Machine-learning-based systematic integration of in situ hydrological measurements, complex environmental and climate data, and satellite observation facilitate the generation of reliable data products to monitor and analyse the exchange of water, energy, and carbon in the Earth system at a proper space–time resolution. This study investigates the estimation of daily SSM using 8 optimised machine learning (ML) algorithms and 10 ensemble models (constructed via model bootstrap aggregating techniques and five-fold cross-validation). The algorithmic implementations were trained and tested using International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) data collected from 1722 stations distributed across the world. The result showed that the K-neighbours Regressor (KNR) had the lowest root-mean-square error (0.0379 cm3 cm−3) on the “test_random” set (for testing the performance of randomly split data during training), the Random Forest Regressor (RFR) had the lowest RMSE (0.0599 cm3 cm−3) on the “test_temporal” set (for testing the performance on the period that was not used in training), and AdaBoost (AB) had the lowest RMSE (0.0786 cm3 cm−3) on the “test_independent-stations” set (for testing the performance on the stations that were not used in training). Independent evaluation on novel stations across different climate zones was conducted. For the optimised ML algorithms, the median RMSE values were below 0.1 cm3 cm−3. GradientBoosting (GB), Multi-layer Perceptron Regressor (MLPR), Stochastic Gradient Descent Regressor (SGDR), and RFR achieved a median r score of 0.6 in 12, 11, 9, and 9 climate zones, respectively, out of 15 climate zones. The performance of ensemble models improved significantly, with the median RMSE value below 0.075 cm3 cm−3 for all climate zones. All voting regressors achieved r scores of above 0.6 in 13 climate zones; BSh (hot semi-arid climate) and BWh (hot desert climate) were the exceptions because of the sparse distribution of training stations. The metric evaluation showed that ensemble models can improve the performance of single ML algorithms and achieve more stable results. Based on the results computed for three different test sets, the ensemble model with KNR, RFR and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XB) performed the best. Overall, our investigation shows that ensemble machine learning algorithms have a greater capability with respect to predicting SSM compared with the optimised or base ML algorithms; this indicates their huge potential applicability in estimating water cycle budgets, managing irrigation, and predicting crop yields.
Development and evaluation of the interactive Model for Air Pollution and Land Ecosystems (iMAPLE) version 1.0

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Land ecosystems are important sources and sinks of atmospheric components. In turn, air pollutants affect the exchange rates of carbon and water fluxes between ecosystems and atmosphere. However, these biogeochemical processes are usually not well presented in the Earth system models, limiting the explorations of interactions between land ecosystems and air pollutants from the regional to global scales. Here, we develop and validate the interactive Model for Air Pollution and Land Ecosystems (iMAPLE) by upgrading the Yale Interactive terrestrial Biosphere model with process-based water cycles, fire emissions, wetland methane (CH4) emissions, and the trait-based ozone (O3) damages. Within the iMAPLE, soil moisture and temperature are dynamically calculated based on the water and energy balance in soil layers. Fire emissions are dependent on dryness, lightning, population, and fuel load. Wetland CH4 is produced but consumed through oxidation, ebullition, diffusion, and plant-mediated transport. The trait-based scheme unifies O3 sensitivity of different plant functional types (PFTs) with the leaf mass per area. Validations show correlation coefficients (R) of 0.59–0.86 for gross primary productivity (GPP) and 0.57–0.84 for evapotranspiration (ET) across the six PFTs at 201 flux tower sites, and yield an average R of 0.68 for CH4 emissions at 44 sites. Simulated soil moisture and temperature match reanalysis data with the high R above 0.86 and low normalized mean biases (NMB) within 7 %, leading to reasonable simulations of global GPP (R=0.92, NMB=1.3 %) and ET (R=0.93, NMB=-10.4 %) against satellite-based observations for 2001–2013. The model predicts an annual global area burned of 507.1 Mha, close to the observations of 475.4 Mha with a spatial R of 0.66 for 1997–2016. The wetland CH4 emissions are estimated to be 153.45 Tg [CH4] yr-1 during 2000–2014, close to the multi-model mean of 148 Tg [CH4] yr-1. The model also shows reasonable responses of GPP and ET to the changes in diffuse radiation, and yields a mean O3 damage of 2.9 % to global GPP. The iMAPLE provides an advanced tool for studying the interactions between land ecosystem and air pollutants.

Abstract. Predicting future climate change over a region of complex terrain, such as the western United States (U.S.), remains challenging due to the low resolution of global climate models (GCMs). Yet climate extremes of recent years in this region, such as floods, wildfires, and drought, are likely to intensify further as climate warms, underscoring the need for high-quality predictions. Here, we present an ensemble of dynamically downscaled simulations over the western U.S. from 1980–2100 at 9-km grid spacing, driven by sixteen latest-generation GCMs. This dataset is titled the Western U.S. Dynamically Downscaled Dataset (WUS-D3). We describe the challenges of producing WUS-D3, including GCM selection and technical issues, and we evaluate the simulations’ realism by comparing historical results to temperature and precipitation observations. The future downscaled climate change signals are shaped in physically credible ways by the regional model’s more realistic coastlines and topography: (1) The mean warming signals are heavily influenced by more realistic snowpack. (2) Mean precipitation changes are often consistent with wetting on the windward side of mountain complexes, as warmer, moister air masses are uplifted orographically during precipitation events. (3) There are large fractional precipitation increases on the lee side of mountain complexes, leading to potentially significant changes in water resources and ecology in these arid landscapes. (4) Increases in precipitation extremes are generally larger than in the GCMs, driven intensified local atmospheric updrafts tied to topography.  (5) Changes in temperature extremes are different from what is expected by a shift in mean temperature and are shaped by local atmospheric dynamics and land surface feedbacks. Because of its high resolution, comprehensiveness, and representation of relevant physical processes, this dataset presents a unique opportunity to evaluate societally relevant future changes in western U.S. climate.

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Water scarcity is a pressing global issue driven by increasing water demands and changing climatic conditions. Based on novel estimates of water availability and water use, we examine the challenges and risks associated with groundwater (GW) withdrawals, focusing on the case of central-north Chile (27−35º S), where extreme water stress conditions prevail. As total water uses within a basin approaches the renewable freshwater resources, the dependence on GW reserves in unsustainable ways intensifies. This overuse has consequences that extend beyond mere resource depletion, manifesting into environmental degradation, societal conflict, and economic costs. We argue that the “Day Zero” scenario, often concealed by the hidden nature of GW resources, calls for a reconsideration of water allocation rules and a broader recognition of the long-term implications of unsustainable GW use. Our results offer insights for regions worldwide facing similar water scarcity challenges and emphasize the importance of proactive and sustainable water management strategies.
EVALUATION OF A GNSS/IMU/LIDAR-INTEGRATION FOR AIRBORNE LASER SCANNING USING RTKLIB PPK AND PPP GNSS SOLUTIONS
Authors: Pöppl F. , Mandlburger G. , Pfeifer N.
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Airborne laser scanning allows for efficient acquisition of accurate 3D data for large areas. Because georeferencing of the LiDAR data requires knowledge of the platform trajectory, the laser scanner system commonly comprises a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver/antenna and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The standard processing pipeline consists of GNSS/IMU integration, georeferencing, and subsequent adjustment of the laser data. Here, we consider a holistic GNSS/IMU/LiDAR-integration approach based on least-squares adjustment. The GNSS is loosely coupled, and the GNSS positions are obtained using either postprocessing kinematic or precise point positioning GNSS processing strategies using the open-source software RTKLib. In this contribution, we compare the resulting point clouds to those of a standard processing workflow and evaluate the impact of the different processing strategies on point cloud quality in terms of internal consistency and absolute accuracy for a airborne laser bathymetry (ALB) dataset. Although the GNSS solutions themselves differ strongly, both the PPK- and the PPP-derived point clouds show better strip differences (below 2.5 cm) and similar absolute accuracy (<4 cm RMSE w.r.t. reference targets after correction of constant datum shift) compared to the reference solution.

Abstract. Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is essential for the robot to operate in an unknown, vast environment. LiDAR-based SLAM can be utilizable in environments where other sensors cannot deliver reliable measurements. Providing accurate map results requires particular attention due to deviations originating from the device. This study is aimed to assess LiDAR-based mapping quality in a vast environment. The measurements are conducted on a mobile platform. Accuracy of the map collected with the LeGO-LOAM method was performed by making a comparison to a map gathered with geodetic scanning using ICP. The results provided 60% of fitted points in a distance lower than 5 cm and 80% in a distance lower than 10 cm. The findings prove the mileage of the map created with this method for other tasks, including autonomous driving and semantic segmentation.

Currently, there are a large number of territories in the Republic of Kazakhstan that are not connected to centralized networks. Power supply of facilities in such territories is a complex task, the solution of which requires significant material costs. Reliable power supply means long-term uninterrupted power supply of consumers with electricity of the required quality. The most functionally completed autonomous power supply system (SES) of the "small" electric power industry is the integrated system of guaranteed power supply (KSGEP). The article discusses the provision of reliable power supply to a specific consumer - it is possible only on the basis of a systematic approach to the organization of power supply. To ensure the normal operation of the DES-UPS system (uninterruptible power supply), the power of the DES (diesel power plant) must exceed the power of the UPS. The degree of this excess depends on many factors determined by both the properties of the generator and the diesel engine, and the characteristics of the UPS. The analysis of the problem of matching DES and UPS was identified and revealed, which served as the basis for the development of a methodology for calculating power and selecting DES for working with UPS. A comprehensive system approach to the design, organization, maintenance and operation of autonomous power supply systems of the "small" electric power industry is given, which is the key to their reliable functioning, reliable power supply to consumers.

Introduction: Health education and motivation are essential public health tools and effective primary preventive methods. Nurseries can serve as ideal settings for health promotion. Purpose: To organize and conduct oral health education and motivation panel for children and parents in nurseries. Materials and methods: A motivational and educational panel for nursery-age children and their parents was created. The panel included 1. Motivational and educational module for parents in the form of a PowerPoint lecture; 2. Motivational and educational module for children - fairytale - "How Yoni defeats the Tooth Monsters" and two games - "What Mr. Toothy likes to eat "and "Let us wipe the germs from Mr. Toothy." Results: All mothers confirmed that the PowerPoint presentation was helpful. Nearly 98% of mothers learned new and valuable things about teething. The same percentage of mothers admitted that they had gained new knowledge on increasing their child's interest in performing regular oral hygiene. The results showed increased interest in oral hygiene and diet games in both groups of children included in the educational panel. The older children get, the more interest they show in listening to fairytales. Conclusion: Mothers and children have received the module very well, so it would be a valuable part of any nursery program.
Slavery in Bethlehem: Difference and Indifference in Northampton County’s Moravian Settlements
Authors: Gordon Scott Paul
Published: October 2023

This article offers a new history of slavery in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania: how enslaved men and women were brought to Bethlehem, who owned these enslaved men and women, how some became free, and whether the lives of enslaved Moravians differed from those of free Moravians. The prevailing account states that the Moravian congregation itself purchased enslaved men and women soon after Bethlehem was settled to augment its labor force. But most Afro-Moravians got to Bethlehem, this article shows, through a haphazard process that the congregation did not manage: enslavers (Moravians elsewhere) sent men, women, and children to Bethlehem or brought them when they moved to the backcountry community. Moravian authorities claimed that there was “no difference” in Bethlehem between these enslaved people and White Moravians. The archive that the congregation produced tends to reinforce that view: church registers, membership catalogs, diaries, and memoirs are mostly silent, for instance, about individuals’ legal status. But amplifying voices that have been overlooked of enslaved and free Afro-Moravians, as well as exploring the neglected 1780 Register of enslaved persons in Northampton County, reveals that differences based on race shaped the lives of people of African descent in Bethlehem and Northampton County’s other Moravian communities.

Post-Truth farklı anlamlarda veya farklı bağlamlarda kullanılsa da bu çalışmada, kavramın özünün duyguların rasyonalitenin karşısında bir gerçeklik referansı olarak alınması olduğu ileri sürülmüştür. Post-Truth’un gözlemlenebilen bir sürecin sonunda, Batı’nın kendini bir varoluşsal krizde bulması olduğu söylenebilir. Bunun temelinde, duyguların artık siyasette görünür halde olduğu iddia edilebilir. Dünyanın birçok noktasındaki gibi Batı’da kamusal alan sosyal medya ile genişlemiş ve bireyler hayatlarının nerdeyse her alanını, duyguları baskın olduğu bir biçimde kamusal alana taşımaya devam etmektedirler. Post-Truth’tan önceki yılın sözcüklerinin de gösterdiği üzere, bireyler, iletişim araçlarının duyguların ifade edilmelerini sağlayacak şekilde evrimleşmeleri sonucu siyasal alanda duyguların görünür olduğu bir yapının gelişimini sağlamıştır. Duyguların kendilerini biçimlendirmediğini savunan ve bunu kendisini ötekisinden farklı ve üstün kılan bir varoluşsal varsayım olarak içselleştiren toplumlar artık ötekisine benzemekte ve aradaki farklılıklar bulanıklaşmaktadır.

Published: October 2023

Este artigo discute o fenômeno das dinâmicas sociais e da progressão na prática competitiva no contexto particular do cenário de esports da Amazônia brasileira, com ênfase na cidade de Belém, no Pará. A partir de uma etnografia longitudinal com uma equipe semiprofissional, o trabalho problematiza o quanto dois elementos da experiência contemporânea do jogo se conectam: o modo como aspectos de ordem social incide em aspectos de natureza técnica. Os resultados indicam que o tecido social comunitário de esports em Belém é conformado, mantido e desenvolvido mais em torno de uma camaradagem esportiva, entre equipes e jogadores, do que em torno de um ethos de profissionalismo. Por outro lado, as dinâmicas sociais que envolvem a camaradagem da comunidade são exemplos pulsantes de políticas de aliança e solidariedade diante da precariedade, das vulnerabilidades e das assimetrias que afligem os jogadores que buscam a profissionalização na periferia dos esports. Revelam, portanto, índices de organizações informais de apoio mútuo.

Published: October 2023

Este trabalho teve como objetivo ranquear o desempenho dos serviços de água e esgoto das sete cidades do litoral do Paraná. Para isto foram escolhidos os métodos do Ranking Trata Brasil 2021 e o método da Agência Reguladora Intermunicipal de Saneamento de Santa Catarina (ARIS-SC). Ambos os métodos utilizam os dados da plataforma do Sistema Nacional de Informações de Saneamento (SNIS), mas com indicadores do SNIS diferentes. O método do Trata Brasil foi aplicado com os dados do ano de 2019, e o método da ARIS, com os dados dos anos de 2017, 2018 e 2019. Ambas as metodologias resultaram em rankings parecidos entre as setes cidades do litoral do Paraná, sendo que a cidade de Pontal do Paraná ficou na primeira colocação no método do Trata Brasil, e a cidade de Matinhos, no método da ARIS-SC. As cidades de Matinhos e Pontal do Paraná se destacaram principalmente por conta dos investimentos realizados por suas prestadoras de serviços nos últimos anos. Mesmo sendo metodologias diferentes, as pontuações apresentaram pouca variação. A diferença na primeira colocação foi acarretada pelos diferentes indicadores utilizados em cada metodologia e a diferença dos anos de pesquisa em cada método. A cidade de Antonina acabou na última colocação em ambos os métodos, pois não há dados sobre a coleta de esgoto e tratamento de esgoto.
Corporate Governance and Financial Performance of Selected Commercial Banks in Kenya

Published: October 2023

The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether or not corporate responsibility had an impact on the bottom lines of a sample of Kenyan commercial banks. The research's specific goal was to ascertain how compensation for boards was calculated, consumer protection, nonperforming loans, and risk management on the financial performance of selected Kenyan commercial banks. This research was based on the following theories: agency theory, resource dependency theory, control theory, public choice theory and bank risk management theory. The present investigation employed an expressive research strategy. The 44 Kenyan business banks that were the focus of this analysis as at December 2022. The target respondents were the chief finance officers and credit officers. This study used a census-style methodology because the quantity of participating banks was manageable. Surveys that were semi-structured with a mix of open-ended and closed-ended questions were used to gather primary data. Descriptive statistics like frequency, average, and deviation from the mean, and inductive statistics like regression and correlation analyses were used to examine the data. After that, we use tables and figures to display the results. While respondents generally accept that board remuneration and consumer protection measures have a good impact, the statistical significance differs. NPLs are found to have a negative impact on financial performance, which is consistent with current research advocating responsible lending practices. Risk management is also seen as important; however, opinions differ. The findings of the study emphasize the significance of risk management and the good impact of board compensation and consumer protection, as well as the negative impact of NPLs. Transparent board compensation schemes, strong consumer protection measures, careful NPL management, and thorough risk management methods are among the recommendations. The study recommends future research areas to further the study on the impact of corporate supremacy in financial success.

The idea of interval-valued neutrosophic soft sets (IVNSSs) is a new generalization of the neutrosophic soft sets to the neutrosophic sets when the authors combine the critical features of IVNS and soft sets (SSs) in one model. Accordingly, this model worked to provide decision-makers with more flexibility in the process of interpreting uncertain information. From a scientific point of view, the process of evaluating this highperformance IVNSS disappears. Therefore, in this paper, we initiated a new approach known as possibility interval-valued neutrosophic soft sets (PIVNSSs) as a new development in a fuzzy soft computing environment. We investigate some fundamental operations on PIVNSSs along with their basic properties. Also, we investigate AND and OR operations between two PIVNSSs as well as several numerical examples to clarify the above fundamental operations. Finally, we have given aggregation operators (AO) to construct a new algorithm that is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method in handling some real-life applications.

This paper is dedicated to studying some examples of n-refined neutrosophic groups and their algebraic substructures, where we deal with three different types of them, 3-refined, 4-refined, and 5-refined neutrosophic groups. Also, we present the algebraic structure of many substructures such as 3-refined neutrosophic AH-subgroups and kernels, 4-refined neutrosophic AH-homomorphisms and subgroups, and 5-refined neutrosophic AH-isomorphisms. On the other hand, many related examples will be provided to explain the algebraic concepts and their properties.

Introdução: doença provocada por infecção de origem bacteriana, a leptospirose é um dos agravos mais negligenciados no Brasil, estando associada a características socioeconômicas. Objetivo: analisar possíveis associações entre taxas de incidência da doença e fatores socioeconômicos no estado do Acre, a partir de análises espaciais. Material e Método: estudo ecológico com uso de dados secundários, sendo feita análise de autocorrelação espacial pelo Índice de Moran Local Bivariado, entre variáveis socioeconômicas e taxa média de incidência de leptospirose de todo o período de estudo. Adicionalmente, a análise espaço-temporal foi desenvolvida por meio de varredura cilíndrica estatística de Kulldorff, com raio de 70 quilômetros e distribuição de probabilidade de Poisson. Resultados: A maior quantidade de casos foi observada em homens, pardos e na faixa etária de 20 a 39 anos, em ambiente domiciliar e em pessoas com ensino fundamental 1 e 2 incompletos. Conclusão: A partir das análises estatísticas espaciais, destacaram-se municípios das partes norte e sul do estado. Ressalta-se que há possibilidade de subnotificação de casos, que poderia ser analisado a partir de estudos que coletem dados primários.

Experimental investigation on the influence of the salinity adsorption-desorption behavior of the clay-based rocks
Authors: Khawar Anoosha , Ali Khan Waqar , Shahzad Khurram , Khalid Choudhry Omar
Published: October 2023

Enhanced Oil Recovery, better known as EOR is a tradeoff between price of recent rising technologies and the cost needed to implement them. As knowledge domain advances a large number of advanced tertiary recovery mechanisms are suggested; one such methodology that is cost-friendly is low-salinity water Injection. This paper aims to study the facts of low-salinity water injection i.e. the results on the oil recovery within the presence on swelling and non-swelling clays along with different parameters like pH and polarity of oil on the relative extraction of oil from reservoir. In light of the experiments conducted, it's apparent that the low-salinity water injection will work well compared to the normal-salinity flood through the experiments, that is by increasing the oil recovery by 0.6 mg/g of oil per kaolinite with an equivalent adsorption ratio at a pH scale of 4. The results collected throughout the devised experiment summarily prove the existence of an underlying mechanism with a chemical route, due to the influence of pH scale and therefore the relative unaffected nature of bentonite with reference to the low-salinity chemical mechanism.

The nanomaterials prepared in the study were used by hydrothermal chemical method to generate dye sensitized cells (DSSCs) and were also used as photoelectrodes using two natural dyes as absorbent media: red (Hibiscus sabdariffa) and green (Apium Gravolens). The ternary nanocomposite (ZnO/MnO2/CdS) was prepared. The results also showed that the green dye efficiency in DSSCs is greater than the red dye in terms of conversion efficiency (η), and the ternary nanocomposite was also characterized by (SEM, TEM, XRD, and AFM).
Combined Mustardé and Furnas type otoplasty with minimal conchal cartilage excision
Authors: Kokten Numan
Published: October 2023

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the complication rate and satisfaction status of patients who underwent otoplasty with the combined
Mustardé and Furnas sutures with minimal medial conchal cartilage excision.
Materials and Methods: Forty-four ears of 22 patients, operated for prominent ear deformity were retrospectively included in the
study. Patients were called for follow-up at various time intervals. At the sixth month, the patient and parents were asked to rate their
satisfaction with the operation on a scale of 1-10 and noted.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 8.09±2.72 years. The antihelix was created with Mustardé technique, minimal medial
conchal excisions were performed, two conchamastoid sutures were placed with Furnas technique. The mean follow-up period was
23.86±11.97 months. Complications developed in 4 of 44 ears (9%). Major complication rate was 4.5%. Two patients (4.5%) had suture
extrusion in one ear. None of the patients scored lower than 7 in the satisfaction questionnaire.
Conclusion: Otoplasty with a combination of cartilage-sparing techniques has low complication, revision, and high satisfaction rates.
Minimal medial conchal cartilage excision in addition to this technique is beneficial in reducing the conchamastoid tension and does
not increase the risk of complications.
The evaluation of the processes of problem based learning tutorials: Online or face-to-face?
Authors: Gayef Albena , Emre Ozge , Akdeniz Esra , Gülpınar Mehmet Ali
Published: October 2023

Objective: The purpose of this research is to evaluate e-PBL tutorials and compare these sessions with face-to-face PBL sessions.
Patients and Methods: This research is a program evaluation study in which quantitative methods were used. In the research, four
90-minute e-PBL sessions held between April and June 2020 were evaluated. Sessions conducted online were realised using the sevenstep
approach in groups of 13-14 students and a tutor. Video recordings were analysed with the thin slicing method. In addition,
various quantitative data on evaluation were analysed using multiple tools and materials, including the end-of-program evaluation
form. Friedman test and Mann-Whitney U test were used in the analyses of quantitative data.
Results: Upon evaluating the analyses of the feedback received from the students about the structure, content and process of the
program regarding the e-PBL tutorials, the students gave a positive opinion of 80% or more. In regards with the cases, the students
had positive opinions of over 80% in terms of “motivation for learning and researching”, “daily life and its relation to their individual
development”, “suitability to their levels of knowledge and skills”, “reinforcement of topics”. Support, guidance and feedback received
from the tutor as a group and individually during online tutorials were statistically significantly higher than the face-to-face PBL
tutorials (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Research on the effectiveness of e-PBL tutorials, including ours, point out that e-PBL practices may constitute a viable
alternative besides face-to face ones. However, for a sounder framing and better results, the subject should be studied in different
aspects and more evidences be gathered in this area. These studies will provide evidence to educational institutions and practitioners
on how to adapt and modify educational practices, including PBL.
