Developing a Discharge Estimation Model for Ungauged Watershed Using CNN and Hydrological Image
Authors: Kim Da Ye , Song Chul Min
Published: December 2020

This study aimed to estimate the discharge in ungauged watersheds. To this end, we herein deviated from the model development methodology of previous studies and used convolution neural network (CNN), a deep training algorithm, and hydrological images. As the CNN model was developed for solving classification issues in general, it is unsuitable for simulating the discharge, which is a continuous variable. Therefore, the fully connected layer of the CNN model was improved. Moreover, images reflecting the hydrological conditions rather than a general photograph were used as input data for the CNN model. Three study areas that have discharge gauged data were set for the model’s training and testing. The data from two of the three study areas were used for CNN model training, and the data of the other were used to evaluate model prediction performance. The results of this study demonstrate a moderate predictive success of the discharge of an ungauged watershed using the CNN model and hydrological images. Therefore, it can be suitable as a methodology for the discharge estimation of ungauged watersheds. Simultaneously, it is expected that our methodology can be applied to the field of remote sensing or to the field of real-time discharge simulation using satellite imagery on a global scale or across a wide area.
Reconstruction of River Topography for 3D Hydrodynamic Modelling Using Surveyed Cross-Sections: An Improved Algorithm
Authors: Song Yunhao , Huang Jinfeng , Toorman Erik , Yang Guolu
Published: December 2020

Multidimensional hydrodynamic modelling becomes tricky when lacking the bathymetric data representing the continuous underwater riverbed surface. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR)-based and radar-based digital elevation models (DEMs) are often used to build the high-accuracy floodplain topography, while in most cases the submerged riverbed could not be detected because both radar and LiDAR operate at wavelengths that cannot penetrate the water. Data from other sources is therefore required to establish the riverbed topography. The inundated river channel is often surveyed with an echo sounder to obtain discrete cross-section data. In this context, an improved algorithm based on the classic flow-oriented coordinates transformation is proposed to generate the riverbed topography using surveyed cross-sections. The dimensionless channel width (DCW) processing method is developed within the algorithm to largely increase the prediction accuracy, especially for the meandering reaches. The generated riverbed topography can be merged with the floodplain DEM to create an integrated DEM for 2D and 3D hydrodynamic simulations. Two case studies are carried out: a benchmark test in the Baxter River, United States, with carefully surveyed channel–floodplain topographic data to validate the algorithm, and a 3D hydrodynamic modelling-based application in Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) area, China. Results from the benchmark case demonstrate very good consistency between the created topography and the surveyed data with root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.17 m and the interpolation accuracy was increased by 55% compared to the traditional method without DCW processing. 3D hydrodynamic modelling results match the observed field data well, indicating that the generated DEM of the TGR area was good enough not only to predict water depths along the tributary, but also to allow the hydrodynamic model to capture the typical features of the complex density currents caused by both the topography of the tributary estuary and the operation rules of TGR.
Changes in the Compound Drought and Extreme Heat Occurrence in the 1961–2018 Period at the European Scale
Authors: Bezak Nejc , Mikoš Matjaž
Published: December 2020

Compound extreme weather events can cause large economic damage and endanger human lives. Therefore, identification of changes in such compound event frequency and magnitude is important information that could be useful for decision makers and practitioners in water management and agriculture sector. This is especially the case for dry hazards that can be significantly influenced by the increasing air temperature and can have significant impact on water availability and consumption as well as on agricultural production. This study investigated changes in the compound occurrence of drought and extreme heat at the European scale using Uncertainties in Ensembles of Regional Reanalyses (UERRA) regional reanalysis data for the 1961–2018 period. The effective drought index (EDI) and the air temperature percentile threshold were used for the identification of the compound events at the catchment scale where entire Europe was divided into more than 4000 catchments. The results revealed multiple hotspots of compound drought and extreme heat events such as parts of Western Europe, Italy, Balkan Peninsula and Northern and Eastern Europe. At the continental scale, no uniform trend pattern could be detected. However, multiple areas with either positive or negative changes were identified. A positive change was characteristic for parts of Western Europe, Italy, Balkan Peninsula, etc. In these cases, the trend was mostly driven by the decreasing total precipitation trend and was not directly affected by the increasing air temperature trend. Areas with negative changes include parts of Northern and Eastern Europe and British Isles. In these cases, the detected trend was mostly driven by an increasing total precipitation trend. However, local drivers could be different.
Flow Characteristics and Bed Morphology in a Compound Channel between Two Single Channels
Authors: Wu Weiming , Wang Lu , Ma Xudong , Nie Ruihua , Liu Xingnian
Published: December 2020

In mountainous areas, a river can widen from a single channel to a compound channel under the influence of geological conditions or human impacts, bringing about challenges in terms of flood control and channel regulation. This paper reports the results of tests conducted in a 26 m long flume with a uniform sediment bed (grain size = 0.5 mm), investigating the flow characteristics and bed morphology in a compound channel between two single channels. The stage‒discharge relationship in the compound channel and the longitudinal and cross-sectional bed profile in the compound channel between two single channels are presented and analyzed. The experimental results indicate that the flow characteristics and bed morphology in a compound channel between two single channels are significantly different from those in a normal compound channel. Based on the experimental data and observations, the mechanisms of flow and sediment transport in the compound channel between two single channels are illuminated.
Antioxidant Activity of Pigmented Rice and Impact on Health
Authors: Arifin Arfina Sukmawati
Published: December 2020

The high number of free radicals that are not balanced with the amount of antioxidants in the body triggers oxidative stress. Oxidative stress causes impaired vascular function, damage to proteins and lipids in membrane cell, and nucleic acid (DNA) mutations. Chronic cell damage has a negative effect on tissue that triggers various diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's), cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and others), cataracts, retinal damage, maculopathy, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, stroke, diabetes mellitus , immunodepression, cancer, aging, hyperoxia, dermatitis, and others. The application of a healthy lifestyle for example by consuming food sources of bioactive compounds can minimize health risks. Rice is the staple food of the Indonesian people. Some types of rice contain red and black pigments which are known to have high antioxidant activity compared to white rice. The pigment comes from anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin. Various studies in vitro and in vivo prove that anthocyanin and proantocyanidine act as antioxidants and potency as a preventative for various diseases such as cardiovascular, diabetes mellitus, and etc.

Stabilitas produksi merupakan salah satu kendala dalam pengembangan jagung di Indonesia. Penelitian focus pada pengembangan model untuk menduga luas panen dan produksi jagung di Indonesia menggunakan dua model yaitu Arima dan Dumped trend. Data seri waktu dikumpulkan dari periode 1960-2016. Data yang menunjukkan pola gejolak distandarisasi terlebih dahulu menggunakan natural logaritma. Hasil pendugaan menunjukkan kedua model dapat memprediksi dengan baik krend produksi jagung dengan nilai koefisien korelasi >0.98. Sementara itu trend luas panen lebih sulit diprediksi karena pola gejolak data lebih ekstrim. Nilai koefisien korelasi luas panen 0,78 dengan model Arima serta 0,74 dengan model Dumped. Hasil pengujian model menunjukkan bahwa proyeksi tingkat produksi jagung pada tahun 2036 diperkirakan luas panen jagung naik menjadi 4.512.000 ha. Sementara itu hasil ramalan produksi jagung menunjukkan adanya kenaikan produksi dari 23 juta ton pada 2017 menjadi 36 juta ton atau naik sebesar 13 juta ton. Sementara itu Dumped trend menduga produksi jagung lebih tinggi yaitu 23 juta ton pada tahun 2017 dan naik menjadi 41 juta ton pada tahun 2036.
Consistency in dental clinical feedback to students: clinical teachers’ perspectives
Authors: Werner Judith , Hendry Graham
Published: December 2020

Purpose: In dental education, feedback from clinical teachers is critical for developing students’ clinical competence. However, students have identified inconsistency of clinical feedback from clinical teachers as a major area of concern. Compared to research on the student perspective of consistency in clinical feedback, dental clinical teachers’ own views of the consistency of their feedback is not as thoroughly researched. The purpose of this study is to redress that balance.Methodology: This qualitative study explored dental clinical teachers’ views of the clinical feedback process during the 2017 academic year, with a focus on their perceptions of consistency of their own feedback.Findings: Our results show that clinical teachers use a number of parameters in judging students’ performance and giving feedback, and were aware that their feedback may not be consistent with other clinical teachers’ feedback. Teachers also recognised that this inconsistency could lead to an adverse effect on students’ learning and clinical competence. Research implications: To improve the consistency of their feedback and calibrate their judgement of students’ performance, clinical teachers recommended that their Dental School should provide opportunities for them to engage in collegial discussion and interactive, case-based teaching development programs. They also believed clinical teaching and its significance to dental student learning and competence should be recognised and valued more highly by the School.Practical implications: Implementation of professional development initiatives endorsed by clinical teachers has the potential to improve the consistency of teachers’ feedback and the quality of clinical dental education, and ultimately the quality of oral health care.Originality: This is the first study to explore clinical teachers’ views of how they judge students’ performance and the consistency of their feedback.Limitations: A limitation of this study is that clinical teachers who volunteered to participate may have different opinions compared to teachers who did not participate.

Educação Ambiental: concepções de alunos de uma escola pública da cidade de Barreiras no Oeste da Bahia
Authors: Silva Filho Antonio José da , Souza Ranieldo Barreiras Barbosa , Souza Raniele Barbosa
Published: December 2020

Essa pesquisa foi feita em uma escola de ensino fundamental pública para buscar entender e classificar a percepção dos alunos sobre o meio ambiente. O ensino em educação ambiental, preconizado pela PCN’s é uma política pública que busca melhorar o entendimento dos jovens estudantes sobre o meio ambiente. Esse entendimento deve ir além dos conceitos formais contidos em livros e interagir diretamente com a realidade vivenciada por cada aluno. Foi utilizado como metodologia, questionário de cinco perguntas abertas e confecção de ilustração sobre o que é o meio ambiente. Isso permitiu classificar a percepção dos alunos na sua maioria, 65% como uma romantizada, 9% reducionista, 10% abrangente e 16% sócio ambiental. O resultado deixa claro a falta de interdisciplinaridade do tema “Meio Ambiente” nas escolas públicas e a necessidade urgente dessa inclusão para construção de indivíduos capazes de contribuir para um meio ambiente melhor e saudável.

Effects of maltodextrin concentration and inlet temperature on the physicochemical properties of spray-dried kuini powder
Authors: Chng Yu Von Germaine , Chang Lee Sin , Pui Liew Phing
Published: December 2020

Kuini (Mangifera odorata) is known for its intense flavour, attractive colour, rich fibre content and antioxidant properties. However, its short shelf life (bruise within a week) limits the availability of this fruit. Hence, spray drying was proposed to transform this fruit into powder to increase its application. The maltodextrin concentration of 5–20% (w/w) and inlet temperatures of 140–180°C were applied to produce kuini powders. The effect of maltodextrin concentrations at constant inlet temperature (160°C) showed that a higher amount of maltodextrin (20% w/w) produced powder with a low water activity (0.16 ± 0.01 Aw), moisture content (2.16 ± 0.60%) and hygroscopicity (20.45 ± 0.60 g/100g) but the orange colour of the powder turned pale. The kuini powder was further spray dried at different inlet temperatures at constant optimal maltodextrin concentration (20% w/w). The kuini powder that was spray dried at 160°C had the optimal properties: low water activity (0.17 ± 0.01 Aw) and hygroscopicity (22.12 ± 0.09 g/100g) with high water solubility index, WSI (79.90 ± 1.85%) and wettability (279 ± 8 s), indicating the powder can be applied as a food ingredient with high solubility. The optimal spray-drying condition for the production of kuini powder was 20% (w/w) maltodextrin concentration at 160°C inlet temperature to have the highest yield of 43.08 ± 2.77%. Eventhough the reconstituted kuini powder had lower viscosity, colour and β-carotene content than kuini juice, this study showed the feasibility of production of kuini powder using spray drying operation which may broaden its application in the food industry.

Yo, cinemática: Cecilia Szperling y sus viñetas de infancia
Authors: Punte María José
Published: December 2020

Echar una mirada feminista sobre la literatura argentina implica desandar un camino construido a partir de una dinámica de lecturas y reapropiaciones, de citas desviadas o interceptadas, así como de silencios y algunos olvidos programáticos. Ya es un hecho que el feminismo ha ocupado una escena protagónica en un presente en donde la literatura y sus creadoras ocupan las calles y los espacios públicos. En ese escenario, asoma un texto que retoma ciertas dinámicas de miniaturización, pero que sirve al objetivo de preguntarse una vez más quién escribe el canon, ese sistema selectivo y productor de jerarquías, y cómo se lo delimita. Se trata de Cecilia Szperling y su “fábula autobiográfica” La máquina de proyectar sueños (2006), un breviario de viñetas de infancia que se entronca en una tradición cultivada, entre otras, por Norah Lange. Este análisis se concentrará en dos elementos: por un lado, la construcción de una biblioteca contra-canónica desde la cual se legitiman otras voces minoritarias (mujeres y sujetos feminizados, infantes); por el otro, el uso de los dispositivos audiovisuales como elemento inseparable para la construcción de una memoria tanto individual como colectiva.

El triunfo de las señoritas telefonistas
Authors: Yael Dina , Darré Silvana
Published: December 2020

Las operadoras telefonistas en Uruguay fundaron el primer sindicato de mujeres en 1918 y protagonizaron una huelga en 1922. Los acontecimientos relativos al conflicto, y a su existencia como organización, han pasado casi inadvertidos en los estudios sociales, históricos y económicos. El propósito del artículo consiste en rescatar los sucesos que llevaron a la huelga y analizar el impacto que el conflicto tuvo, en cuatro dimensiones principales: el rol del Estado como mediador entre el capital y el trabajo; la situación de las mujeres trabajadoras en el sector; el sistema de relaciones laborales; la redefinición de las reglas de juego políticas. En esas dimensiones se encontraron evidencias de transformaciones sustantivas, que permiten considerar el conflicto como acontecimiento significativo en la historia del país. La investigación se basó en fuentes secundarias: debates parlamentarios, declaraciones municipales y notas de prensa de los principales periódicos del país. Hasta el momento, no se han encontrado archivos de la empresa ni del sindicato de telefonistas mujeres. La investigación se inició en 2018 en el marco de un proyecto denominado “Mensaje por ausencia”, que tiene por finalidad contribuir a la recuperación de acontecimientos protagonizados por mujeres sustraídos de la memoria colectiva.

Published: December 2020

La pandemia del COVID-19 permitió que, algunas herramientas geomáticas bien establecidas en el ámbito profesional, pudieran ser apreciadas por el público y por las autoridades de gobierno. Este nuevo posicionamiento se debe al uso de la geomática como medio de comunicación y como instrumento para el apoyo a la toma de decisiones. Hecho que es percibido como una gran oportunidad para la geomática al generar una concientización del valor de sus métodos, tecnologías y herramientas. Por otro lado, dicha exposición puede poner en evidencia ciertas debilidades o limitaciones, en lo que refiere al despliegue y aprovechamiento de su uso en todo su potencial. Tal es el caso de los análisis espaciales en los que se necesita llegar a un nivel de detalle más alto o, cuando se pone en juego la privacidad de los ciudadanos, como ocurre con las aplicaciones de seguimiento por cercanía o que integran la ubicación precisa de los lugares con personas contagiadas.En este artículo, se hace un breve análisis cualitativo de estos fenómenos, enfocado al caso uruguayo, se enumeran las limitantes y riesgos que acarrea esta exposición y se esbozan algunas oportunidades de mejora.

ÁRIDA: O DESPERTAR DO SERTÃO E A EXPRESSÃO DA CULTURA NORDESTINA ATRAVÉS DOS ELEMENTOS CONSTITUTIVOS DE UM JOGO DIGITAL
Authors: Pinheiro Bruna Maele Girão Nobre , Pinheiro Regina Cláudia , Araújo Júlio
Published: December 2020

Analisamos aqui como os elementos do jogo digital Árida: o despertar do Sertão ajudam a construir uma representação da cultura popular nordestina e a expressar a identidade cultural desse povo, compreendendo o jogo como uma atividade que precede e reflete a cultura humana (HUIZINGA, 2018). À luz da concepção de cultura popular de Bakhtin (2008, 2010) e Arantes (1990), dos elementos dos jogos digitais propostos por Fardo (2013) e da pedagogia dos multiletramentos (COPE; KALANTZIS, 2000; ROJO, 2012), compreendemos que, no jogo, as manifestações culturais nordestinas aparecem e uma história do Nordeste é contada com objetos do imaginário popular, referenciando as atividades econômicas, a culinária local e o fenômeno da seca. Mais do que mostrar esses objetos e utilizá-los no jogo, observamos que eles ajudam a contar a história do Nordeste, com seus desafios e problemáticas, e a apontar possibilidades de ressignificação dessa cultura.

(Shadow of) The Raven:uma adaptação intermidiática da literatura para a música
Authors: Marins Liliam Cristina , Pardo Fernando Da Silva
Published: December 2020

Este estudo tem como objetivo estabelecer diálogos teóricos e analíticos entre os estudos de intermidialidade e os estudos da adaptação na análise do álbum conceitual Shadow of the Raven (2007), da banda estadunidense Nox Arcana, que faz referência às obras de Edgar Allan Poe. Ao considerar a importância de ir além do vetor tradicional literatura-cinema e de elaborar uma metalinguagem capaz de abarcar outras arquiteturas textuais, como sugere Hattnher (2010) em relação à circulação da literatura em álbuns conceituais, os estudos de intermidialidade colaboram para pensarmos o papel das convergências entre diferentes mídias na produção de sentidos; além disso, contribuem também para superarmos uma leitura binária das transposições midiáticas nas adaptações (DINIZ, 2018). A partir da construção de um conhecimento compartilhado entre abordagens teóricas e interesses de pesquisa, esboçamos um ensaio inicial sobre a passagem de um meio predominantemente visual e escrito, o literário, para um meio auditivo e não alfabético, o musical-instrumental. O aporte teórico que fundamenta nossas discussões está baseado em teóricos dos estudos da adaptação (HATTNHER , 2010; HUTCHEON, 2011; MILTON, 2015), dos estudos de intermidialidade (RAJEWSKI, 2005; CLÜVER, 2006; DINIZ, 2018) e da música (WISNIK, 1989; SHUKER, 2002).

21st-century learning emphasizes student-centered learning and active learning that transforms the role of teachers into facilitators. Teachers act to help students solve problems given to them as a learning process. Therefore, teachers play an important role in determining the learning outcomes that can be achieved. However, previous studies have found that the implementation of 21st-century learning has contributed to various forms of challenges for teachers. Thus, this article discusses the results of a study that successfully identifies the form of challenges faced by novice teachers in implementing 21st-century learning. The study was conducted using qualitative design, in a semi-structured interview with 10 novice teachers of Islamic education secondary school. The findings of the study found that although they successfully applied the pedagogy of 21st Century learning, they had to face several forms of challenges. Two dominant forms of challenge emerge as themes to be discussed in this article. First, the challenges in choosing a learning approach and second; challenges to apply M-learning effectively. The findings of the study have implications for educators, especially novice teachers, to better understand and possess 21st-century skills more effectively in order to be able to provide a new generation that is competitive in the face of life, in line with the rapid development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

Pregnancy is an important event in the life of every woman that is associated with conflicting emotions. Having a newborn baby can be accompanied by hardships and loss of desire, as well as other stresses in life, all of which can have adverse effects on the mental health of the mother and her family. Depression is a common mental disorder in mothers during and after childbirth, which can have negative consequences for mother and baby. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is one of the new treatments with a positive impact on the reduction of depression during pregnancy and afterward. This form of psychotherapy is significant in increasing the psychological flexibilities of women as well as reducing their distress and depressive symptoms during pregnancy and during the postpartum period. Hence this paper aims to review the literature on the concept of depression, its symptoms, and outcomes during pregnancy and the postpartum period, and subsequently, it reviews how ACT can reduce depression, in terms of relevance to Iranian mothers. The studies were selected and identified through online databases from relevant published articles in psychology, psychotherapy, and mental health journals. The reviews of the literature on the ACT and reducing depression in pregnancy and postpartum period were identified from research studies in Iran from 2015 to the present time. This paper highlights the significance of future research into ACT for reducing depression during pregnancy and the postpartum period among Iranian women.

The phenomenon of globalization catalyses the mobilization of international students to pursue higher education abroad. Malaysia is one of the destinations for international students where the advantage is synonymous with the country’s increasingly proactive internationalisation policy in recruiting international students. This initiative was taken to boost the position of Malaysian Higher Learning Institutions in the global league of prestigious education hub ratings. Therefore, the objective of this study is to focus on studying the feedback of the experience of the process of adaptation of international students’ independence which is the key to the arrival of these groups to this country. A qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews which involved 40 in-depth interviews of international students currently studying at four selected public universities. The findings had proven that there is a link between the adaptation of independence and sustainability of the academic performance of first-year students. The factors that have a different impact on the adaptation of international students’ independence are seen in the context of (i) English language as a medium of teaching and learning, (ii) ongoing accreditation, (iii) offering contemporary and added value programmes, (iv) customer satisfaction and service quality assurance and (v) university reputation recognition. The findings discussed in this paper are valuable information not only for prospective international students who wish to further their studies abroad but can also be used as a guideline for the universities’ management in understanding the implications of self-adaptation that has continuity with academic achievement among international students.

Malaysia was hit by the Coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak in early 2020. To address the wide spread of Covid-19, the Malaysian government has declared a Movement Control Order (MCO) from 18th March 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic abruptly brought a significant impact on the country's economy, especially Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as these SMEs play important roles in the national economy. During this MCO period, many business and economic activities were affected and in turn, caused the monthly income of small and medium enterprise entrepreneurs to become lesser. Thus, this study will examine the effects of Covid-19 on SMEs and whether the provisions of current laws and current policies are sufficient to protect the interests of SMEs in terms of economic issues. This study is qualitative in nature and involves the study of philosophy and views in academics systematically. This study is not an empirical study but rather a library study. The results of this study are expected to enhance the existing legal framework that will benefit SME entrepreneurs in Malaysia due to this pandemic.
