RoGeR v3.0.5 – a process-based hydrological toolbox model in Python
Authors: Schwemmle Robin , Leistert Hannes , Steinbrich Andreas , Weiler Markus
Published: July 2024

Abstract. Although water availability and water quality are equally important for effective water resources management at various spatial and temporal scales, to date, a combined representation of soil water balance components and water quality components in Python is not available. The new RoGeR toolbox contains models that can be used for not only the quantification of hydrological processes, fluxes and stores, but also solute transport processes based on StorAge selection (SAS). This study presents the code structure and functionalities of RoGeR developed as a scientific model toolbox following defined open-source software guidelines. RoGeR uses five different computational backends covering just-in-time compilation, parallelism and graphical processing units (GPUs) that might be used for optimizing computational performance. We show that graphical processing unit computing has the greatest potential to improve computation time and energy usage, especially for large modelling experiments. A simple modelling experiment highlights the capabilities of the new RoGeR model toolbox. We simulated the soil water balance, stable water isotope (18O) transport, and corresponding travel time distributions of the Eberbaechle catchment, Germany, for a 3-year period. Due to the current limitations of a variety of process components, further development of RoGeR as a scientific software is needed. Future modifications are easily possible due to the open software architecture of RoGeR.
Tsunami hazard assessment in the South China Sea based on geodetic locking of the Manila subduction zone
Authors: Zhao Guangsheng , Niu Xiaojing
Published: July 2024

Abstract. This study provides a dataset and shows the spatial distribution of tsunami hazard in the South China Sea sourced from the Manila subduction zone. The plate motion data around the Manila subduction zone are used to invert the geodetic locking of the Manila subduction zone, further used to estimate the maximum possible magnitude and applied to obtain a more reliable tsunami hazard assessment. The spatial distribution of tsunami wave height with a 1000-year return period is shown, and several high-hazard areas in the South China Sea are pointed out. Uncertainties in the seismic source are explored, including the slip heterogeneity, the upper limit of seismic magnitude and segmentation. The impact of the locking distribution and randomness of slip on tsunami hazard assessment demonstrates that the traditional uniform slip assumption significantly underestimates the tsunami hazard. Moreover, the assessment results involving the effect of the locking distribution should be more realistic and show a larger tsunami height than when only considering the stochastic slip in most areas, which should prompt coastal management agencies to enhance tsunami prevention awareness.

Grigor Archimandrite Skevratsi, a follower of the famous clergyman and theologian Nerses of Lambron, was one of the outstanding public, political and cultural figures of medieval Armenia, who in his literary, cultural, religious, social and pedagogical activities was a worthy disciple of his teacher and carried on the traditions establishedby him. Grigor Skevratsi is a multi-genre author. He wrote in practically every genre of spiritual literature and left a legacy of odes and Church Hymns (sharakan), orations and sermons, exhortations and prayers, interpretations and translations. The current paper presents the prayers of Grigor Skevatsi. His theory of prayer is directly derived from the teaching of the school of Narek Monastery which is evidence of a continuity of tradition. Grigor Skevratsi expressed his views on prayer as the highest moment of spiritual life in a number of works, in the theologicalpoem “Instruction on the true Faith and the Virtuous and Pure Life” (“Khrat” (exhortation) «Բան խրատու վասն ուղիղ հաւատոյ և մաքուր վարուց առաքի-նութեան» («Խրատ»)), sermons, several small and large prayers. Skevratsi's prayers testify to his deep faith and high spiritual level.

Authors: Younas Faiz , Khalid Maryam , Qayyum Shazia
Published: July 2024

The paper looked into the potential moderating role that emotional intelligence might play between personality traits and creativity in young adults. The following hypotheses were put forth: a) personality traits, emotional intelligence, and creativity would have a strong positive relationship; b) personality traits and emotional intelligence would predict creativity; and c) emotional intelligence would moderate the relationship between personality traits and creativity. Using a non-probability sampling, 200 young adults (n = 100 women and n = 100 men) aged 18 to 35 years (M = 23.85, SD = 3.74) were recruited for this cross-sectional correlational study. Findings indicated a significant positive connection among personality traits, emotional intelligence and creativity. Moreover, neuroticism and emotional intelligence were found to predict creativity significantly. Lastly, emotional intelligence moderated the relationship between personality traits (openness to experience and extraversion) and creativity. These indigenous findings would have significant implications for young adults, researchers, counsellors, and educational psychologists for awareness, policy-making and further research endeavours.
Antonio Gramsci y la reforma educativa de Giovanni Gentile. La revolución pasiva como criterio de interpretación histórico-educativo
Authors: Gómez Sebastián
Published: July 2024

A partir de la fórmula revolución pasiva, el artículo aborda teóricamente la cuestión educativa en los Cuadernos de la Cárcel. Central en los nuevos estudios gramscianos, la fórmula revolución pasiva no ha tenido un papel significativo en las indagaciones educativas de los escritos de Gramsci. En lugar de aislar el tópico educativo de la trama conceptual de los Cuadernos, se busca articular la cuestión pedagógica con nudos temáticos centrales del corpus gramsciano a luz del oxímoron revolución pasiva. En esta línea, se asume la revolución pasiva como una fórmula heurística, es decir, como una perspectiva general que organiza (en diferentes sentidos y tiempos) la investigación carcelaria en torno a la crisis de hegemonía y recomposición del orden. Luego de interpretar una serie de conceptos gramscianos, tales como hegemonía, clases subalternas, Estado integral e intelectuales bajo el prisma de la revolución pasiva, se aborda el análisis de la reforma educativa de Giovanni Gentile (1922-23) en los Cuadernos. Se considera, a modo de hipótesis, que en la reflexión gramsciana, esta reforma opera como el capítulo educativo del análisis del fascismo como intento de revolución pasiva. Entre las conclusiones, se esgrime que de la complejidad analítica de la reforma gentiliana en los Cuadernos es posible derivar un criterio de interpretación histórico-educativo de reformas educativas.
Luxemburg and Gramsci. The Role of Optimism and Pessimism during the Struggle for an Alternative to Capitalism
Authors: Doğan Sevgi
Published: July 2024

What I try to do in this paper is to analyze and probe what Rosa Luxemburg and Antonio Gramsci understand by pessimism and optimism. Luxemburg and Gramsci demonstrate how liberal capitalist ideology uses “a false form of hope to keep people yoked to the system that oppresses them.” In this “terrible world” and under the current capitalist circumstances which lead to economic, social, political and ecological crises, it may be difficult to be optimistic about the future. Besides, not only the multiple crises but also the many defeats suffered by progressive movements in the different areas of struggles against ongoing economic and political regression bring along a depressive and desperate feeling that could also be called pessimism.

The questions I am asking are very simple: What is pessimism and optimism for Luxemburg and Gramsci? For them, what sort of social conditions lead to pessimism or optimism? In this paper, I will try to demonstrate that both Rosa Luxemburg and Gramsci adopted a dialectical approach to pessimism and optimism, they were “pessoptimists” so to speak. Based upon what Hegel once said, “the negative is just as much positive”, I will explain this dialectical relationship by claiming that pessimism exists in optimism and vice versa. For this purpose, I will focus on some of Rosa Luxemburg’s texts in the recently published volumes on Revolution as well as in her letters. Furthermore, I will concentrate on some texts by Gramsci in which he makes particular reference to pessimism and optimism as symbolized by his famous “pessimism of the intelligence, optimism of the will”

Childhood trauma (CST) is a type of trauma that is often inflicted on children by people they know, has long-term effects, and is difficult to identify and treat. According to the World Health Organization, CST is any intentional or unintentional behavior by adults that negatively affects the health, physical and psychosocial development of children. The impact of VAC transcends cultural, social and economic boundaries and is a widespread problem. The effects of VAC on children's physical and mental development can lead to various psychosocial problems in childhood and adulthood. For this reason, it is of great importance to prevent child maltreatment, to address it with a multidisciplinary approach when it occurs, and to follow it up for a long period of time. This review aims to examine all aspects of CSA in the light of the studies conducted and to provide guidance to professionals working in the field of mental health and other disciplines. It also focuses on the mediating role of MTT in the relationship between psychological resilience and alcohol use in adults. In this context, the effects of MTT on psychological resilience and its relationship with alcohol use in adults are discussed in detail, and the potential links and interactions between these two factors are examined. Keywords: Childhood Traumas, Psychological Resilience, Alcohol Use

The problem of shaping personality of a student possessing the skills of creative knowledge application in the educational process demands attention and investigation. A person equipped with such skills can enact changes in societal development and become an active participant in the process. To assess the relevance of the article, an analysis of regulatory documents and research by both domestic and foreign scientists working in this field was conducted. Consequently, definitions of the concept of "creative activity" were proposed. Additionally, the article described components essential for developing creative activities in young students, including motivational, creative-cognitive, and intellectual aspects, and outlined their criteria and indicators. The goal of the study is to identify methods for fostering creative actions in the educational process. These actions should be purposeful and principled, encourage unconventional thinking skills, and support universal learning activities that lead to various forms of self-expression. The experimental cohort comprised 63 students of 2nd grade (groups "A" and "B") of the General Secondary School № 49. The experimental work was divided into three stages: ascertaining, forming, and controlling. At the ascertainment stage, a new level was determined using the methodology of creative thinking by P. Torrens, while at the formation stage, three approaches were considered: project-based learning (PBL), utilization of media resources, and STEM learning. The results of the comparative analysis demonstrated the effectiveness of the work during the formation stage.

In the face of significant global changes affecting Kazakhstan and ongoing reforms across state structures, society is witnessing a surge in specific categories of crimes, emphasizing the urgency of addressing socially dangerous trends. Consequently, there is a crucial need for improved initial professional training for law enforcement officers and an exploration of effective pedagogical methods to foster the necessary personal and professional qualities for their service. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the development of pedagogical and psychological skills of future police officers in the educational process. The research employs analytical methods, including a thorough examination of psychological and pedagogical literature, scrutiny of normative documents governing educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and an analysis of curricula for initial vocational training courses at the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Additionally, diagnostic techniques including surveys, expert evaluations, and empirical data analysis and synthesis were employed. The study involves a questionnaire survey of 350 students undergoing initial professional training for senior, private, and junior command staff, with results compared to expert assessments provided by instructors. The findings reveal a tendency for students to overestimate their self-evaluation regarding the development of professional and psychological skills, qualities, and stability. In response, the authors advocate for an increase in the study hours dedicated to the "Fundamentals of Psychological Preparedness" discipline and propose a curriculum revision aimed at fostering analytical-psychological and technical-psychological skills, professional thinking, and professional-psychological qualities among students. This research aims to establish the theoretical underpinnings for cultivating the professional psychological preparedness of future police officers. It involves analysing its constituent elements, pinpointing challenges, and suggesting objectives for psychological and pedagogical interventions aimed at the students' personal development. The findings of this study offer practical value for the development of educational programs in initial vocational training courses and provide a foundation for further investigations in this field.

The article presents the results of treatment of colic in horses. Based on the study, we selected 139 horses brought to the clinic with symptoms of colic. A clinical study was conducted analyzing the data contained in the patient data system. We assessed the age and sex of the animals, analyzed seasonality and the months when the first symptoms appeared, and also systematized data on the disease and the final diagnosis. We analyzed the treatment methods used and their effectiveness. Treatment included drugs and combination of drug and surgical interventions. In all cases, symptomatic therapy was used. Gastrointestinal diseases are common in horses and are the most popular cause of emergency room visits. The concept of distress is very broad and is defined as a set of symptoms experienced by an animal when it feels abdominal pain. When colic occurs, horses exhibit some clinical signs such as rolling on the ground, stretching and kicking themselves in the abdomen, sweating, increased body temperature, frequent standing up and lying down, and increased heart and respiratory rates. The purpose of our collaborative study is to identify risk factors predisposing to colic in horses admitted to the clinic between 2021 and 2023.

Published: July 2024

There is increased adoption of renewable energy, particularly photovoltaic (PV), as a major source of clean and environmentally friendly energy. With the wide application of PV technologies, commonly called solar panels, their appropriate maintenance and cleaning are vital for optimum PV energy generation. The research focuses on exploring the various factors attributed to influence the want, intention and need to use PV panel cleaning robots in Thailand from an institutional management perspective. The study adopted the extended C-TAM-TPB by adding three more variables - Trust in technology, awareness of renewable energy, and environmental concern. A quantitative approach was used, where primary data was collected from PV institutional users. A population sample of 411 respondents was used. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) came in handy in evaluating the performance model, with the study's hypotheses being evaluated by the structural equation modeling (SEM). Results indicated that most of the subjective behaviors, perceived behavioral controls, and trust in technology played a key role in determining the intention and need to use solar panel cleaning robots. Perceived usefulness was found to have significant influence towards PV panel adoption. The influence of attitude was mediated by several factors – environmental concern, renewable energy awareness, trust in technology. The study recommended that the institutional users of solar panels should consider investing in knowledge regarding perceived behavioral control, developing confidence in the use of renewable and sustainable energy, and developing trust of the renewable and sustainable energy technologies. This could be achieved through programs such as public awareness, sharing accurate information regarding solar panel cleaning robots, and providing support and after sales support. Educational initiatives to change users' attitudes toward renewable energy technologies were recommended.

With globalization and the expansion of cities, the movement of goods and people has significantly increased, both economically and socially. This sector serves as a vital component of any economy, fostering economic and social development. However, its detrimental effects pose significant challenges for countries seeking to pursue sustainable development policies. Being one of the most energy-intensive sectors, it emits greenhouse gases and pollutants, contributing to environmental degradation and noise pollution. While increased traffic and mobility offer benefits, they also strain resources and lead to higher energy consumption. The primary objective of this article is to assess the sustainability of freight transport in the Moroccan city of Fez and propose supportive solutions for various stakeholders in urban logistics. This involves examining the complex relationship between different factors and the sustainability of Urban Freight Transport (UFT), including accessibility, congestion, road occupancy, environmental impacts, health impacts, and road safety. The research data were collected from 100 managers and employees of logistics and transportation companies in Morocco. Structural equation modeling was utilized to test and confirm the hypotheses and the research model. The results of these analyses demonstrated a positive impact relationship between the various factors and the sustainability variable. Subsequently, we suggest the establishment of delivery areas and an urban distribution center as two sustainable logistics solutions. The analysis and its findings can be applied to any other city.

Authors: Ayesha Agrawal
Published: July 2024

In the treatment of glioblastomas, non-invasive methods for determining MGMT gene promoter methylation status are crucial due to their implications for chemotherapy responsiveness. This study utilizes a mathematical and computational framework to extract and analyze radiogenomic data from MRI images to predict the methylation status. The first step in our framework involves extracting radiogenomic data from MRI images. This process requires sophisticated image processing techniques to convert MRI scans into a format suitable for machine learning analysis. The features extracted include textural patterns, intensity distributions, and other relevant radiomic characteristics.To identify the most significant features, we employ a Random Forest (RF) algorithm. Mathematically, RF is an ensemble learning method that operates by constructing multiple decision trees during training and outputting the mode of the classes for classification tasks. The importance of each feature is evaluated based on its contribution to the accuracy of the model, quantified by metrics such as Gini impurity or information gain. Employing advanced machine learning models like VGG19, ResNet50, and Sequential FCNet Artificial Neural Networks, alongside traditional classifiers such as Naive Bayes and Logistic Regression, we analyze features identified by a Random Forest algorithm. Our mathematical approach ensures rigorous evaluation of model accuracy through sensitivity, specificity, and other performance metrics, presenting the Sequential FCNet ANN combined with ResNet50 as the superior model. This research contributes to the field of precision healthcare by enhancing the mathematical methods used in the non-invasive diagnosis of glioblastomas.
Enhanced Ultra-Wideband Communication System with OFDM Modulation: Performance Analysis in LOS and NLOS Conditions
Authors: Khushbu Meena
Published: July 2024

Ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems, employing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation, are renowned for their high data rates, low power consumption, and robust performance in multipath environments. However, these systems face significant challenges in varying propagation conditions, specifically under Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) scenarios. In LOS conditions, the signal travels directly from the transmitter to the receiver without obstructions, typically resulting in optimal performance characterized by high transmission efficiency, strong Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), low Bit Error Rate (BER), and maximum throughput. Conversely, NLOS conditions involve obstructions and reflections that cause multipath propagation and signal degradation. This leads to reduced transmission efficiency, lower SNR, higher BER, and diminished throughput. This study examines the performance of an UWB communication system using OFDM modulation in both LOS and NLOS conditions. The performance metrics evaluated include transmission efficiency, SNR,BER, and throughput. In LOS conditions, the system demonstrates high transmission efficiency, superior SNR, minimal BER, and maximum throughput due to the unobstructed signal path. In contrast, NLOS conditions result in decreased transmission efficiency, lower SNR, increased BER, and reduced throughput due to signal attenuation and multipath effects. These findings highlight the significant impact of environmental conditions on UWB-OFDM system performance and underscore the importance of optimizing such systems for reliable communication in varied deployment scenarios.
