APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE SPHERE OF HEALTH: CRIMINAL LEGAL DEVIATIONS
Authors: Shutova Albina A.
Published: February 2024

The paper raises questions related to the choice of the most effective model of criminal
law protection of public relations associated with the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the field of healthcare, as well as a critical analysis of the approaches developed and available in legal science. Taking into account the special importance of the healthcare sector, primarily aimed at protecting the life and health of citizens, the legal regime of criminal law protection at the moment requires timely transformation and the development of the most effective model. We believe that digital technologies and innovations should not only contribute to the positive development of the healthcare sector, but also inspire confidence among patients and medical workers, and also not provoke fears about their use. The current legal mechanism may lead to the fact that medical organizations may refuse to introduce artificial intelligence technologies into clinical practice under fear of bringing them to administrative responsibility, and their employees to criminal liability. Based on the foregoing, it is proposed to choose the optimal model for the criminal law protection of public health relations complicated by the use of artificial intelligence.
Tailoring optical response in nanostructured bilayers: Effects of surface roughness and layer thickness on NbN/Nb and TiN/Ti
Authors: Polito Lucas Jorge Alberto , Flores Ruiz Francisco Javier , García Vázquez Valentín , González Ana Lilia
Published: February 2024

Numerical calculations were performed on NbN/Nb and TiN/Ti nanostructured bilayers. Discrete dipole approximationimplemented in the DDSCAT code was utilized. In order to design a TUC (Target Unit Cell) with realistic surfaceroughnesspattern, Atomic Force Microscope images of 100 ±10 nm Nb thin films were used. The optical properties of nanostructured bilayers (60-100 nm thickness with a ±10 nm surface roughness) were calculated, keeping the interfacebetween the layers as smooth flat surfaces. For the NbN/Nb nanostructure with a thickness between 100 ±10 nm, and 70 ±10 nm, in a wavelength range between 200 and 350 nm, the reflectance and absorptance show a nearly flat spectrumwith an intensity of 20% and 80%, respectively. For larger wavelengths, absorptance decays smoothly. In contrast, for the 60 ±10 nm bilayer, the absorptance decays faster. For the TiN/Ti nanostructure, at 415 nm, a relative maximum in the reflectance, and a minimum in absorptance, are observed. The critical value of the absorbed light spectra begins to shift to higher wavelengths as the thickness of the TiN layer increases. We demonstrate that adding a rough nitride layer on top of its metallized layer drastically modifies the optical response of the nanostructured bilayer, an interesting result forplasmonics and nanoelectronics applications.

Authors: Tenkir Eyob , Bekele Tamrat , Demissew Sebsebe , Aynekulu Ermias
Published: February 2024

Background

We evaluated site suitability, early survival, and growth performance forJuniperus procera,Olea europaeasubsp.cuspidata,Vachellia abyssinica,Hagenia abyssinica, andAfrocarpus falcatusin the urban landscape of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Methods

The MaxEnt model was used to evaluate site suitability for the 5 indigenous species. For the early survival study, experimental plots were established and 500 seedlings, 100 seedlings for each species, were planted on 2021 July 15 and monitored until 2022 February 30 for a total of 225 days. Silvicultural activities such as mulching, weeding, and watering were conducted. Every 45 days, measurements of height, root collar diameter (RCD), death, damage, wilting, and defoliation were recorded.

Results

The result of the study indicated that the Addis Ababa area is well to moderately suitable to grow the 5 species. Mean survival rates marginally declined over the course of 225 days, from 99.6% at 45 days after planting to 90.4% at 225 days after planting. EighteenV. abyssinicaseedlings were found to be dead. Wild animals browsed and damaged 45% ofO. europaeaseedlings.H. abyssinicahad the highest growth performance. The study shows that, relative to the other 4 species,V abyssinicahad a greater number of wilted, defoliated, and dead seedlings.

Conclusion

Each of the 5 species had a high rate of early survival and found the urban environment to be suitable. This result will assist in the shift away from planting only exotic tree species in green spaces and encourage the presence of indigenous tree species.

Authors: Boone Anna E. , Perry Casey , Henderson Whitney L.
Published: February 2024

Importance: Some people experience persistent symptoms after a concussion that greatly affect occupational performance.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effect of metacognitive strategy training in a sample of adults with postconcussive symptoms.

Design: Single-group, prospective design.

Setting: University research laboratory.

Participants: Adults with persistent concussive symptoms affecting function (N = 14).

Intervention: Ten 45-min sessions of a metacognitive strategy training intervention, Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP).

Outcomes and Measures: Assessed feasibility outcomes included recruitment, retention, and adherence rates, and intervention acceptability was evaluated with the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire–8. The preliminary effect was measured on occupational performance (Canadian Occupational Performance Measure), concussive symptoms (Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory), sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory), vision (College of Optometrists in Vision Development–Quality of Life Outcomes Assessment), and cognition outcomes (Dysexecutive Questionnaire, Weekly Calendar Planning Activity, and National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition Battery).

Results: Acceptable recruitment (32%), retention (93%), and adherence rates (100%) were observed, along with a high level of acceptability to participants. Large intervention effects were present for occupational performance, general concussive symptoms, and cognitive functioning.

Conclusions and Relevance: Findings suggest that the CO-OP is feasible to administer for adults with postconcussive symptoms and perceived as suitable for the needs of this population. Feasibility findings, coupled with improvements in occupational performance outcomes, provide the foundation for a future larger scale trial.

Plain-Language Summary: The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance intervention is practical to use to address the functional impact of persistent concussive symptoms in adults. Further research is needed to evaluate the efficacy of the CO-OP intervention with this population.
Food and World Culture
Authors: Watts Linda , Clark-Mahoney Kelty
Published: February 2024

This book uses food as a lens through which to explore important matters of society and culture. In exploring why and how people eat around the globe, the text focuses on issues of health, conflict, struggle, contest, inequality, and power.

Whether because of its necessity, pleasure, or ubiquity, the world of food (and its lore) proves endlessly fascinating to most people. The story of food is a narrative filled with both human striving and human suffering. However, many of today's diners are only dimly aware of the human price exacted for that comforting distance from the lived-world realities of food justice struggles. With attention to food issues ranging from local farming practices to global supply chains, this book examines how food’s history and geography remain inextricably linked to sociopolitical experiences of trauma connected with globalization, such as colonization, conquest, enslavement, and oppression.

The main text is structured alphabetically around a set of 70 ingredients, from almonds to yeast. Each ingredient's story is accompanied by recipes. Along with the food profiles, the encyclopedia features sidebars. These are short discussions of topics of interest related to food, including automats, diners, victory gardens, and food at world’s fairs. This project also brings a social justice perspective to its content—weighing debates concerning food access, equity, insecurity, and politics.

Food Culture in Spain
Authors: Medina F. Xavier
Published: February 2024

Spanish food culture has evolved around strong regional cuisines and representative elements. This volume offers an overview of Spanish food and eating habits, taking into account a long and complex history, plus distinctive social, cultural, linguistic, geographic, political, and economic characteristics. Spain’s location at the crossroads of Europe and North Africa has made it a gastronomic melting pot, with Arab influences and New World ingredients particularly noted. Readers will learn about the unique food culture in each region and how food practices and dishes in the Iberian Peninsula have developed over the centuries. Typical dishes and drinks, especially the Spanish wines, are described in context, with many accompanying recipes.

Gastronomy in Spain has always been of utmost importance. Recently, the new Spanish gastronomy has taken center stage with internationally recognized chefs. Spaniards are shown to be extremely social eaters and drinkers who like to eat out. The everyday routine of eating out, such as at work and school, is clarified as well. Home cooking and the Spanish kitchen get special attention. Finally, although Spanish food has always been associated with the highly touted Mediterranean diet, health concerns about current eating trends are discussed. A timeline, a chronology, and illustrations round out the coverage.
Food Culture in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Osseo-Asare Fran
Published: February 2024

East African, notably, Ethiopian, cuisine is perhaps the most well-known in the States. This volume illuminates West, southern, and Central African cuisine as well to give students and other readers a solid understanding of how the diverse African peoples grow, cook, and eat food and how they celebrate special occasions and ceremonies with special foods. Readers will also learn about African history, religions, and ways of life plus how African and American foodways are related. For example, cooking techniques such as deep frying and ingredients such as peanuts, chili peppers, okra, watermelon, and even cola were introduced to the United States by sub-Sahara Africans who were brought as slaves.

Africa is often presented as a monolith, but this volume treats each region in turn with representative groups and foodways presented in manageable fashion, with a truer picture able to emerge. It is noted that the boundaries of many countries are imposed, so that food culture is more fluid in a region. Commonalities are also presented in the basic format of a meal, with a starch with a sauce or stew and vegetables and perhaps some protein, typically cooked over a fire in a pot supported by three stones. Representative recipes, a timeline, glossary, and evocative photos complete the narrative.
Latino Food Culture
Authors: Janer Zilkia
Published: February 2024

Latino cuisine has always been a part of American foodways, but the recent growth of a diverse Latino population in the form of documented and undocumented immigrants, refugees, and exiles has given rise to a pan-Latino food phenomenon. These various food cultures in the United States are expertly overviewed here together in depth for the first time. Many Mexican American, Cuban American, Puerto Ricans, Dominican American, and Central and South American communities in the United States are considered transnational because they actively participate in the economy, politics, and culture of both the United States and their countries of origin. The pan-Latino food culture that is emerging in the United States is also a transnational phenomenon that constantly nurtures and is nurtured by national and regional cuisines. They all combine in kaleidoscopic ways their shared gastronomic wealth of Spanish and Amerindian cuisines with different African, European and Asian culinary traditions. This book discusses the ongoing development of Latino food culture, giving special attention to how Latinos are adapting and transforming Latin American and international elements to create one of the most vibrant cuisines today.

This is essential reading for crucial cultural insight into Latinos from all backgrounds. Readers will learn about the diverse elements of an evolving pan-Latino food culture-the history of the various groups and their foodstuffs, cooking, meals and eating habits, special occasions, and diet and health. Representative recipes and photos are interspersed in the essays. A chronology, glossary, resource guide, and bibliography make this a one-stop resource for every library.

DESVENDANDO O ASSÉDIO MORAL NO TRABALHO: A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA PERÍCIA PSICOLÓGICA
Authors: Barbosa Neto Astor Castro , Guilland Romilda , Labiak Fernanda Pereira
Published: February 2024

Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender a contribuição da perícia psicológica trabalhista no contexto de assédio moral no trabalho. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa documental de caráter exploratório e descritivo, com dados de um processo trabalhista do Tribunal Superior do Trabalho selecionado intencionalmente para compor um estudo de caso. O caso selecionado refere-se a uma trabalhadora de uma instituição financeira que buscou na justiça do trabalho reparação por danos materiais e imateriais sofridos em decorrência de assédio moral no trabalho. Para comprovação do nexo de causalidade do dano psicológico alegado pela trabalhadora foi solicitado pelo magistrado responsável pelo caso uma perícia psicológica trabalhista. Ao analisar o caso pôde-se inferir que: (a) o trabalho do psicólogo desempenhou um papel fundamental na perícia psicológica para estabelecer o nexo causal entre o assédio moral no trabalho e o dano psicológico. Sua expertise possibilitou uma avaliação minuciosa dos impactos psicológicos sofridos pela vítima, identificando de forma precisa as conexões entre as práticas de assédio e os danos psicológicos apresentados; (b) os instrumentos e os métodos específicos adotados pelo perito-psicólogo, conseguiram auxiliar na análise das nuances do quadro clínico da trabalhadora afetada, bem como na compreensão da relação causal entre o ambiente laboral e os danos psicológicos; (c) o laudo pericial forneceu um embasamento técnico e científico, oferecendo subsídios importantes para a tomada de decisões judiciais.

Abstract. Droughts are often long lasting phenomena, without a distinct start or end, and with impacts cascading across sectors and systems, creating long-term legacies. Nevertheless, our current perception and management of droughts and their impacts is often event-based, which can limit the effective assessment of drought risks and reduction of drought impacts. Here, we advocate for changing this perspective and viewing drought as a hydro-eco-social continuum. We take a systems theory perspective and focus on how “memory” causes feedback and interactions between parts of the interconnected systems at different time scales. We first discuss the characteristics of the drought continuum with a focus on the hydrological, ecological, and social systems separately; and then study the system of systems. Our analysis is based on a review of the literature and a study of five cases: Chile, the Colorado River Basin in the US, Northeast Brazil, Kenya, and the Rhine River Basin in Northwest Europe. We find that the memories of past dry and wet periods, carried by both bio-physical (e.g. groundwater, vegetation) and social systems (e.g. people, governance), influence how future drought risk manifests. We identify four archetypes of drought dynamics: Impact & recovery; Slow resilience-building; Gradual collapse; and High resilience, big shock. The interactions between the hydrological, ecological and social systems result in systems shifting between these types, which plays out differently in the five case studies. We call for more research on drought pre-conditions and recovery in different systems, on dynamics cascading between systems and triggering system changes, and on dynamic vulnerability and maladaptation. Additionally, we argue for more continuous monitoring of drought hazards and impacts, modelling tools that better incorporate memories and adaptation responses, and management strategies that increase social and institutional memory to better deal with the complex hydro-eco-social drought continuum and identify effective pathways to adaptation.
Operational and experimental snow observation systems in the upper Rofental: data from 2017 to 2023
Authors: Warscher Michael , Marke Thomas , Rottler Erwin , Strasser Ulrich
Published: February 2024

Abstract. This publication presents a comprehensive hydrometeorological data set for three research sites in the upper Rofental (1891–3772 ma.s.l., Ötztal Alps, Austria) and is a companion publication to a data collection published in 2018: https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-10-151-2018 (Strasser et al., 2018). The time series presented here comprise data from 2017 to 2023 and originate from three meteorological and snow-hydrological stations at 2737, 2805, and 2919 ma.s.l. The fully equipped automatic weather stations include a specific set of sensors to continuously record snow cover properties. These are automatic measurements of snow depth, snow water equivalent, volumetric solid and liquid water content, snow density, layered snow temperature profiles, and snow surface temperature. One station is extended by a particular arrangement of two snow depth and water equivalent recording devices to observe and quantify wind-driven snow transport. They are installed at nearby wind-exposed and sheltered locations and are complemented by an acoustic-based snow drift sensor. We present data for temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind speed, and radiation fluxes and explore the continuous snow measurements by combined analyses of meteorological and snow data to show typical seasonal snow cover characteristics. The potential of the snow drift observations is demonstrated with examples of measured wind speeds, snow drift rates and redistributed snow amounts during an event in December 2020. The data complement the scientific monitoring infrastructure in the research catchment and represent a unique time series of high-altitude mountain weather and snow observations. They enable comprehensive insights into the dynamics of high altitude snow processes and are collected to support the scientific community, as well as operational warning and forecasting services.

Abstract. Climate change is expected to influence future agricultural water availability, posing particular challenges in rainfed agricultural systems. This study aims to analyze the climatology of green water availability and water-limited attainable yields (AY) – the maximum crop yield achieved with available green water under optimal soil nutrient and crop management, considering four major cereal crops (teff, maize, sorghum, and wheat) produced in Ethiopia. An agrohydrological modelling framework was developed to simulate climatic-hydrological-crop interactions. The model was applied to a reference (1981–2010) and future periods (2020–2099) under low, intermediate, and high greenhouse gas emission scenarios in order to: (i) evaluate the current green water availability and AY potential; (ii) assess their climate-driven changes; and (iii) analyze the sensitivity of changes in AY to changes in rainfall and atmospheric evaporative demand. With regional variations based on climatic regimes, the main growing season (Meher, May to September) has an average AY of 79 % of a fully irrigated potential yield with an average soil moisture deficit of 29 % of moisture content at full water holding capacity. AY of the short growing season (Belg, February–May) is on average 37 % of the potential yield, with a soil moisture deficit of 56 %. Under the future climate, Meher is expected to experience small changes in the range of ±5 % with dominantly positive trends in the 2030s and decreases in the 2060s and 2080s, mainly driven by changes in the atmospheric evaporative demand due to rising temperatures. The Belg-producing regions are expected to experience increased AY that is dominantly controlled by increases in rainfall. On the other hand, a substantial yield gap is identified between actual and water-limited yields. This points to the need for combining green water management practices with nutrient and tillage management, plant protection, and cultivar improvement to close the yield gaps and to build up climate resilience of farmers.

Physical and Thermal Properties of Potato Flour as Influenced by Moisture Content
Authors: Rakesh Kumar Raigar  , Hari Niwas Mishra
Published: February 2024

The physical, thermal and flow properties (flowability) of potato flour from Kufri-Chipsona, Kufri Sinduri and Kufri Badshah varieties produced in West Bengal, Rajasthan and Bihar states were evaluated. Moisture content was the important variable affecting these properties. Within moisture ranges of 7.04 % to 56.25 % (d.b.) the bulk, tapped and true density and porosity significantly decreased with increase in moisture content of potato flour of each variety, and ranged from 350-690 kg.m-3, 640-1240 kg.m-3, 1510-1550 kg.m-3 and 54-71 %, respectively. Carr index and Hausner ratio ranged from 24.41-44.50 %, and 1.32-1.77, respectively. Thermal conductivity, specific heat and thermal diffusivity of the flours significantly (p<0.05) increased from 0.125 to 0.230 W.m−1.K−1, 0.092 to 0.124 mm2 .s-1 and 1.13 to1.76 MJ.m-3.K-1, respectively, when moisture content of flours increased from 7.04 % to 56.25 % (d.b.).

Published: February 2024

The effect of combined low pressure superheated steam drying (LPSSD) followed by vacuum drying (VD) on quality of onion slices at different temperature (60-80 o C~10 kPa) was determined. In the first stage, the moisture content of onion slices was reduced to 50 % (w.b.) from 88-90 % (w.b.) using LPSSD; and then it was further reduced up to 7-8 % (w.b.) by VD. It was found that among the various drying temperatures studied, retention of colour, rehydration ratio, thio-sulphinate content and antioxidant capacity of dehydrated onion was better at 60 o C, followed by 70 o C, whereas total phenol contents were higher at 80 o C. The results of control dried sample and sample dried at 60 o C had significant differences in time taken for drying, thio-sulfinate content, total phenol content and antioxidant capacity, whereas insignificant effects of drying temperature was observed on rehydration and water activity of dried onion slices.
Draft Prediction of Commonly Used Tillage Implements for Sandy Clay Loam Soil in India
Authors: Ajay K. Roul  , Hifjur Raheman
Published: February 2024

Draft requirements for prototypes of mouldboard plough, cultivator and offset disc harrow with different widths of cut or number of tools were measured at four levels of depth and four levels of forward speed in three soil compaction levels in a soil bin with sandy clay loam soil at an average soil moisture content of 9.58% (d.b.). Effect of depth was more significant on draft of mouldboard plough and offset disc harrow, whereas number of tynes was the most significant factor for cultivator. Rate of increase of draft with respect to depth was higher as compared to forward speed, cone index and width of cut for all implements tested. Draft values predicted by ASABE model were compared with those obtained from soil bin tests at three compaction levels. Quite often, the measured draft values were found to be about 2.9, 1.7 and 1.65 times more than the ASABE predicted values for mouldboard plough, cultivator and offset disk harrow, respectively. An equation similar to the ASABE model incorporating cone index was developed using stepwise regression analyses to model the draft of tillage implements for the range of soil and operating condition tested. Field tests with commercial models of these implements were conducted to acquire data for draft by developing appropriate instrumentation to validate the developed draft equation. The average absolute variations between the predicted and measured values of draft were within 5.5 % and 11.6% for all the implements tested, and thus validated the developed draft prediction equation.

Published: February 2024

A good tractor design requires that important controls are easily accessible to the operator. Tractor operator controls within the workplace should be conveniently and logically located, and the workplace should fit both tall and short operators. The design parameters of the tractor workplace configuration were determined by using anthropometric dimensions of male tractor operators of Gujarat region. The locations of different tractor seat and control locations were calculated considering the biomechanical and anthropometric measurements. Studies on evaluation of the design location of controls resulted in steering column angle of 65⁰ with horizontal, foot pedals distance of 875 mm from SRP and the draft control lever distance of 286 mm from SRP. Compatibility analysis was done with five Indian tractors. It was found that the workplace dimensions of selected tractors varied widely with the design values.

Potential impacts of climate change on streamflow in the Gomti River basin of India were studied using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The model was calibrated and validated using monthly streamflow data of four gauging stations of the basin. Climate change scenarios were developed using spatially downscaled (0.5×0.5°) MIROC3.2 (HiRes) GCM data for A2, A1b and B1 emission scenarios. The analysis showed that annual rainfall is likely to increase by 10 % to 18 %, 15 % to 24 %, and 19 % to 26 % during the 2020s, 2050s and 2080s, respectively. Mean annual stream-flows were projected to increase by 15 % to 38 %, 25 % to 44 % and 40 % to 55 % during the 2020s, 2050s and 2080s, respectively. Simulation results also indicated spatial and temporal variability in stream-flow in the basin, indicating the need for location-specific adaptation measure for planning of water use in the basin. The findings of the study could be useful for planning and managing water resources in the Gomti river basin for adaptation to climate change.
