Controls of outbursts of moraine-dammed lakes in the greater Himalayan region
Authors: Fischer Melanie , Korup Oliver , Veh Georg , Walz Ariane
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Glacial lakes in the Hindu Kush–Karakoram–Himalayas–Nyainqentanglha (HKKHN) region have grown rapidly in number and area in past decades, and some dozens
have drained in catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). Estimating regional susceptibility of glacial lakes has largely relied on
qualitative assessments by experts, thus motivating a more systematic and quantitative appraisal. Before the backdrop of current climate-change
projections and the potential of elevation-dependent warming, an objective and regionally consistent assessment is urgently needed. We use an
inventory of 3390 moraine-dammed lakes and their documented outburst history in the past four decades to test whether elevation, lake area and its
rate of change, glacier-mass balance, and monsoonality are useful inputs to a probabilistic classification model. We implement these candidate
predictors in four Bayesian multi-level logistic regression models to estimate the posterior susceptibility to GLOFs. We find that mostly larger
lakes have been more prone to GLOFs in the past four decades regardless of the elevation band in which they occurred. We also find that including the
regional average glacier-mass balance improves the model classification. In contrast, changes in lake area and monsoonality play ambiguous
roles. Our study provides first quantitative evidence that GLOF susceptibility in the HKKHN scales with lake area, though less so with its
dynamics. Our probabilistic prognoses offer improvement compared to a random classification based on average GLOF frequency. Yet they also reveal
some major uncertainties that have remained largely unquantified previously and that challenge the applicability of single models. Ensembles of
multiple models could be a viable alternative for more accurately classifying the susceptibility of moraine-dammed lakes to GLOFs.
Convective Heat Transfer of Spring Meltwater Accelerates Active Layer Phase Change in Tibetan Permafrost Areas
Authors: Zhao Yi , Nan Zhuotong , Ji Hailong , Zhao Lin
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Convective heat transfer (CHT) is one of the important processes that controls the near ground surface heat transfer in permafrost areas. However, this process has often not been considered in most permafrost simulation studies and its influence on the freeze-thaw processes of the active layer lacks quantitative investigation. The Simultaneous Heat and Water (SHAW) model is one of the few land surface models in which the CHT process is well incorporated in the soil heat-mass transport processes. We applied the SHAW model to investigate the impacts of CHT on active layer thermal dynamics on the Tanggula station, a typical permafrost site located at the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau with abundant meteorological and soil temperature/moisture observation data. The 2008–2009 observed hourly data were used to calibrate the model parameters and those of 2010 for validation. A control experiment was carried out to quantify the changes in active layer thermal regime affected by vertical advection of liquid water, consisting of three setups: using (1) the original SHAW model with full consideration of CHT; (2) a modified SHAW model ignoring the CHT due to infiltration from the surface, and (3) a modified SHAW model ignoring complete CHT processes in the system. The impacts of vapor convection are not considered in this experiment. The results show that the CHT events mainly happened during thawing periods when the active layer melted at shallow (0–0.2 m) and middle (0.4–1.3 m) soil depths, and its impact on soil thermal regime at shallow depths was significantly greater in spring melting periods than in summer. The impact was minimal in freezing periods and in deep soil layers. During melting periods, temperatures in the shallow and middle soil depths simulated under the scenario considering CHT were higher by up to 10.0 and 1.5 °C, respectively, than those under the scenarios ignoring CHT. The ending dates of zero-curtain effect were considerably advanced with CHT considered, due to the warming effect of CHT associated with infiltration. However, the opposite cooling effect also existed due to presence of upward liquid fluxes and thermal differences between the soil layers. In some certain period, the advection flow including partial return flow reduced the temperatures in the shallow and middle depths by as much as −5.0 and −1.0 °C, respectively. The overall annual effect of CHT by liquid flux is to increase soil temperature in the active layer and favors thawing of frozen ground at the study site.

A SWOT Analysis of Remote Working Based on Review of Literature
Authors: Karunarathne P.D.
Published: August 2021

The extant literature on ‘remote working’ have mostly focused on its advantages, disadvantages and consequences from the employer, employee & social perspectives as separate parameters with little research exploring the context of remote working from an overall strategic management perspective. The fear and threat evolved from the COVID -19 pandemic have urged tens of millions of global workforce to work from home which was a way of working that had struggled to gain traction before the pandemic. In this ‘new normal’ there is a significant tendency for the remote working to continue in the long run which requires organizations to strategically plan and implement the remote working culture. In consistent with the strategic planning, this review paper explores the existing literature and aims to identify a SWOT Analysis of remote working that would be useful for the current ‘new normal’ context. The thematic analysis approach has taken and through that, four themes have identified and defined from the literature review towards achieving objective of the paper. Literature from the conceptual & empirical studies conducted over the past two decades on remote working have been considered for the review.

Public awareness on environmentally sound practices viz-a-viz strategies that may also sustain a balanced work life culture cannot be overemphasized. Telecommuting represents one of those viable environmentally sound practices that offer flexibility to employees through working from their homes which to a great extent have improved employee’s productivity. This study assessed the level of awareness about telecommuting as well as the factors underpinning employee’s interest and preference for telecommuting in Lagos, Nigeria. A total of 220 responses from structured questionnaires was designed to capture the level of awareness, interest, readiness, and perception of employees towards telecommuting in Lagos Island, both descriptive and inferential analysis was used for the study. The study shows that 72% were aware of telecommuting and its associated benefits while about 90% opined that telecommuting will be suitable to their work. There was also a significant positive but weak relationship among employee’s preference for telecommuting and factors such as age, marital status, awareness about telecommuting, and the experience of traffic gridlock and its associated stress .This study concluded that with the high level of awareness of telecommuting, organisations should gainfully harness the wide array of prospects that accompanies the adoption of telecommuting which has the long term advantage of stimulating labor productivity.
Does Market Power Affect Banking Dividend Policy? Evidence from Nepal
Authors: Bhatt Sahadev
Published: August 2021

We attempt to explain how market power impacts bank dividend payment behaviors in Nepal by taking the sample from the commercial banking sector employing a panel data regression model. Using the Lerner Index (LI), a non-structural measure of market power or lack of competition, we found that market power inversely but statistically insignificantly affect dividend payment. This finding leads us to conclude that market power-a proxy of more or less competition is not an important and influencing factor to the dividend decisions in commercial banking sectors signifying that competition does not seem helpful in mitigating agency conflicts. It is also concluded that banking dividend payouts are not the result of the punitive influence of product market antagonism. Further, among other firm-specific determinants, bank size and leverage significantly positively whereas asset growth significantly negatively affect the dividend decision. However, profitability is found insignificant determinant of dividend payment. The paper enriches and contributes to the literature on banking dividend payout and helps to identify the key factors that affect banking dividend decision-making.

EMPLOYMENT OF PHOTOLYTICAL AND PHOTOCATALYTICAL METHODOLOGIES FOR REMOVAL OF CEPHALEXIN IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION
Authors: ROSA M. F. , GALVAN F. De B.
Published: August 2021

The increasing contamination of water bodies by the presence of pharmaceutical actives present in medicinal products for human and veterinary use has led to serious environmental consequences, such as the emergence of resistant bacterial strains. β-lactam antibiotics, a class of which is cephalexin (CPX), is one of the most commonly found contaminants in natural waters. Aiming to determine the best conditions for the photodegradation of this active in aqueous solution, the photolytic and photocatalytic methods were investigated. For the photocatalytical experiments employing homogeneous (H2O2) and heterogeneous (TiO2) catalysts, the parameters were organized according to an experimental design 23, with the objective of observing the influence of each factor in the process, as well as the interaction between them in the different pHs studied. From the analysis of the results it was possible to verify that the parameters pH, H2O2, as well as the interaction between the parameters H2O2 and TiO2 are significant for the process, and that the best conditions for the photocatalysiswere pH 4, [TiO2] = 50 mg L-1 and [H2O2] = 1000 mg L-1. In the antimicrobial activity assay, only two strains, E. coli and A. hydrophila, showed no sensitivity to the photochemically treated drug, showing that in these cases the pharmaceutical active had its antimicrobial activity decreased.

The new challenges of the oil and gas industry require noble materials with chemical stability and greater mechanical properties. Alloy 625, popularly known as Inconel® 625, is used as a cladding material for pipelines and other components. Therefore, the study of joining methods that produce excellent welded joints is essential. Thus, in this study, welded sheets of Inconel 625 were produced by Friction Stir Welding (FSW) and afterwards they were subjected to a heat treatment to evaluate the susceptibility to sensitization by the Double Loop Electrochemical Potentiokinetic Reactivation(DL-EPR)technique. In addition, microhardness profiles were performed before and after the isothermal treatment. The microhardness results indicated that the increased hardness is due to the carbides formation after heat treatment. On the other hand, electrochemical tests showed that FSW process can significantly affect the degree of sensitization.

Published: August 2021

The objective of this work was to develop heat treatment parameters of an austempered cast iron alloy ASTM 897 / A 897M - 1400/1100/1, aiming at the production of a truck spring support. The austempered nodular cast iron, known by the acronym ADI - Austempered Ductile Iron - is a class of nodular cast iron that, after austempered thermal treatment, increases significantly its mechanical properties and tenacity (Machado, 2007). Mechanical and metallographic tests demonstrated the great influence that the level of microshrinkage has on the elongation and mechanical resistance of the material. Generally, tensile tests demonstrate high elongation due to minimal presence of microshrinkage and segregations in the metallic matrix of the material, as well as to the presence of austenite with high carbon retained in the ADI matrix. Analyzes were performed to determine if the mechanical properties required by ASTM 897 / A897M were achieved. Within this standard, four degrees can be obtained. The degree of interest in this study was 1400/1100/1, which is the grade requested by the company, so that the truck spring support can be put into service. Tensile, Charpy and optical microscopy tests were carried out.

Classified as food additives, the use of benzoic acid and acesulfame K to preserve foods is finite due to health and environmentreason.In this study, anefficient and fast method for simultaneous determination of benzoic acid and acesulfame-K in soft drinks was validated using high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) on a C18 column. The method showed results satisfaction as the coefficient determination for benzoic acid and acesulfame-K were 0.9998 and 0.9991 respectively. The LOD for both compounds found at 0.02 mg/kg and the LOQ were found at 0.07 and 0.06 mg/kg for benzoic acid and acesulfame-K respectively. The recovery studies proved that the method has a good recovery ranging from 96103% for both benzoic acid and acesulfame-K with %RSD varies from 1.6 - 4.6% at different concentrations. The validated method then applied to the inter-laboratory comparison sample conducted by the National Quality Control Laboratory for Drug and Food (NQCLDF), Indonesia, using traceable standard reference materials. Uncertainty evaluation using bottom-up approach showed that the method has reasonable uncertainty value with uncertainty budget derived from weighing process, recovery studies, method precision, calibration curve and standard solution. The uncertainty value (k=2, in confidence level 95%) for benzoic acid was found to be 4% at reported concentration of 343 mg/kg and for acesulfame-K was found to be 6.5% at reported concentration of 195 mg/kg. In conclusion, the validated method offered a simple and fast method, as well as economical reagents consumption indicating its possible application as an alternative method for a routine analysis.

Implications of market and political power interactions for growth and the business cycle
Authors: Kollintzas Tryphon , Papageorgiou Dimitris , Vassilatos Vanghelis
Published: August 2021

In this paper, we develop a two sector DSGE model with market and political power interactions. These interactions are motivated by the politico-economic systems of several South European countries, over the last half century. In these countries the state permits the existence of industries, typically related to the extended public sector, where firms and workers employed therein have market power (insiders), unlike other firms and workers in the economy (outsiders), as insiders, that dominate the major political parties, cooperate to influence government decisions, including those that pertain to the very existence of such a politico-economic system. Consistently with stylized facts of growth and the business cycle of these countries, the model predicts: (i) large negative deviations of per capita GDP from what these countries would have been capable of, if their politico-economic system was not characterized by the above mentioned frictions; and (ii) deeper and longer recessions in response to negative shocks, as their politico-economic system reacts so as to amplify these shocks.

A evolução e transformações das tecnologias aplicadas aos usos do espaço exterior interconectadas com o uso militar do espaço exterior a evidenciam a pressão dos fatos sobre o direito, avocando reflexão sobre o corpus juris internacional sobre a questão, em nível de soft law e hard law. Mesmo no contexto de autodefesa, as atividades espaciais militares possuem aspectos ofensivos e defensivos que precisam ser considerados e podem ser executadas ao abrigo da Carta das Nações Unidas (considerando o direito à autodefesa) e do Tratado do Espaço (ao se entender o termo “propósito pacífico” equivalente ao termo “não agressão”, exceto para autodefesa), além de outros tratados que podem ser evocados em situações de conflito, no âmbito do Direito Internacional Humanitário. Este artigo consubstancia o caso brasileiro, onde a Força Aérea Brasileira apresenta o entendimento do Brasil quanto ao Tratado do Espaço e à Carta das Nações Unidas, estruturando sua aplicação militar do espaço exterior de acordo com os documentos políticos e doutrinários do Ministério da Defesa do Brasil, sabidamente, a Política de Defesa Nacional, a Estratégia Nacional de Defesa e o Programa Estratégico de Sistemas Espaciais. As operações militares descritas neste artigo revelam que situações fáticas emergentes carecem de tutela jurídica com elevado grau de efetividade.

An Investigation on College Students’ Basic Aesthetic Quality and the Needs of Aesthetic Education Curriculum—Empirical Evidence from Ten Universities Data in China
Authors:   College of Educational Science, Liupanshui Normal University, Ye Zezhou , Xiang Hui ,   College of Educational Science, Liupanshui Normal University
Published: August 2021

The research defines the basic aesthetic qualities and divides them into three parts: aesthetic consciousness, common sense, and behavior. Empirical evidence from more than 1000 college students of ten universities showed that many students still lack basic aesthetic knowledge and skills, and there are also significant differences in gender, location, and qualification. Therefore, college students have a relatively large demand for aesthetic education curriculum, especially in the arts. But obviously, the current aesthetic education curriculums in colleges and universities cannot meet the needs of students, and it is even more difficult to guarantee the aesthetic ability of students who lack art education in primary and secondary schools. Therefore, it is necessary to make up for deficiency in university courses, and to carry out professional-based and even interdisciplinary and cross-border aesthetic courses can achieve the goals of aesthetic education in universities.
Biyofilik Tasarım Bağlamında Osmaniye Kadirli Belediyesi Hizmet Binasının Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: DAŞKIRAN Büşra Nur , YELER Gülcan
Published: August 2021

Biyofilik tasarım, genel olarak insan ve mekan arasındaki etkileşime doğanın dahil edilmesi anlamına gelmektedir. Doğa, insan psikolojisini ve sağlığını olumlu yönde etkilemesi, rahatlatıcı, motivasyon arttırıcı ve iyileştirici özellikleri ile mimari tasarımlarda biyofilik unsur olarak ele alınmaktadır. Kentleşmelerin hızla artmasına bağlı olarak doğadan yoksun kapalı ve açık mekânlarda yaşanmasının getirdiği olumsuzluklar, biyofilik tasarım kavramının yeni bir yaklaşım olarak mimarlık ortamında yer edinmesini hızla artırmaktadır. Biyofilik tasarım yaklaşımının en etkin uygulandığı mekânlardan biri de çalışma/ofis mekânlarıdır. Çalışanlar zamanlarının çoğunu ofis içinde geçirdikleri göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, iç mekân ve dış mekân arasında denge kurmak, doğayla iç mekânı bütünleştirmek, modern çalışma ortamında çalışanların kendilerini rahat, ilgili ve çevrelerine bağlı hissedebilmeleri bakımından çok önemlidir. Bu kapsamda çalışma, Osmaniye'ye bağlı Kadirli İlçesinde, 2009 yılında bir yarışma projesi sonrasında birincilik kazanan projenin uygulandığı Kadirli Belediyesi Binasını konu edinmektedir. Çalışmada, öncelikle literatür taraması ile biyofilik tasarım yaklaşımı, ilkeleri ve çalışma/ofis yapılarındaki önemi kuramsal bir bakış ile ortaya konmaktadır. Sonrasında Kadirli Belediyesi Hizmet Binası, yerinde gözlem yapılarak biyofilik tasarım ilkeleri bakımından analiz edilmektedir. Analizden elde edilen veriler, belediye binasının kapalı mekânlarında doğanın unsurlarına yeterince yer verilmediğini, açık mekânlarında ise binanın konumlanması ve tasarım kararları doğrultusunda doğa ile daha fazla ilişki kurulduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bağlamda, belediye binasının çalışanlarının doğayla etkileşimini artırmak amacıyla kapalı mekânlarında (giriş, dolaşım ve ofis mekânları), örnekler üzerinden öneriler geliştirilmektedir. İlçenin yönetiminin sağlandığı en prestijli binası olarak, doğanın öğeleriyle ilişkilendirilmiş mekân önerilerinin hayata geçirilmesiyle Kadirli Belediyesi Hizmet Binasının, çevresine ve kullanıcılarına yeni bir anlam katacağı düşünülmektedir.
Incerteza em entropia
Authors: Magossi José Carlos , Paviotti José Renato
Published: August 2021

Claude E. Shannon, em seu artigo seminal de 1948, inicia a Teoria da Informação, precursora da era da informação, cujos impactos e ramificações se multiplicam, desde então, em ritmo acelerado. Entre os conceitos da Teoria Matemática da Comunicação de Shannon, o de entropia comporta a diferentes interpretações. Desse modo, objetiva-se neste texto expor algumas considerações históricas acerca do conceito de entropia, sem pretensões de completude, ao considerar a “incerteza” existente em sua definição. O trocadilho é proposital, pois estima-se que inovações científicas ou tecnológicas, em Teoria da Informação, se encontram no amplo escopo, e na descrição precisa, do conceito de entropia.
Engaging students with self-assessment and tutor feedback to improve performance and support assessment capacity
Authors: McKevitt Conor
Published: August 2021

Assessment is one of the most important elements of student life and significantly shapes their learning. Consequently, tutors need to ensure that student awareness regarding assessment is promoted. Students should get the opportunity to practise assessing work and receive tutor feedback so that they might improve on both the work and their assessment of it. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how student engagement with criteria, exemplars, self-assessment, and feedback influenced students’ performance, their assessment capacity, and also how students experienced the process. A mixed methods approach was used. Students’ performance and assessments were established using a rubric that included 5 criteria each evaluated using 5 point likert scale linked to descriptors. A thematic analysis of the focus group resulted in two themes. The findings show that overall students’ performance in the assignment significantly improved between draft and final submissions. Students’ assessment of their work significantly differed to the tutor’s on some criteria at both submissions but in opposite directions on one criterion between both submissions. The focus group found that the rubric guided students to produce their draft while tutor feedback guided them to improve on it. However, these findings require further investigation. The following recommendations ensue from the research and should assist student development concerning assessment. Tutors should give students an opportunity to assess work and also see tutor’s assessment of that work using the same criteria. Also, tutors should provide constructive feedback during an assignment.

Published: August 2021

Universities throughout Australia are increasingly investing significant amounts of time and money in efforts to improve the quality of first year students’ experiences and, by extension, increase retention, performance and student satisfaction. This paper reports upon a pilot research project conducted at a Queensland university that investigates student understandings of, and reactions to, a range of initiatives put in place to enhance their “first year experience”. The research showed that students had mixed reactions to the initiatives put in place to support them and that staff played a vital role in terms of how students responded to various forms of institutional support. In analysing the results the paper demonstrates the need for ongoing research into how a diverse cohort of students make sense of the first year experience they are offered.

Authors: Coulson Debra , Homewood Judi
Published: August 2021

Psychological literacy is an umbrella term that is widely used to describe the attributes or capabilities of psychology graduate (Cranney & Dunn 2011). This article explores some of the complexities inherent in the learning and teaching of psychological literacy by exploring challenges to the development of self-awareness and cultural competence, and posits a role for reflective practice. Evidence for the contribution of reflective practice to the development and application of psychological literacy is offered. The challenges of introducing reflective practice into the psychology curriculum are then discussed, with insights from the literature and a small trial offered to support academics in introducing reflective practice into the higher-education psychology curriculum.
