Published: September 2023

Abstract. The potential for future energy crises is a problem the world is currently facing. Many countries are switching from fossil to renewable energy to prevent an energy crisis. One of the most developed renewable energy today is solar energy. Easy installation makes solar energy installation not only on a large scale but also on a home scale. Urban areas will be very suitable for building solar photovoltaic (PV) roofs due to minimal open areas. In installing rooftop solar PV, sound planning is needed to predict the energy potential that can be provided by solar energy on the rooftop of a building. Spatial modeling can be done to determine the energy potential and suitable location for rooftop solar PV installation. In building rooftop solar PV modeling, the level of detail of the building will affect the results of the model. The rooftop's shape and the building's height will affect the amount of solar radiation going into the building. However, the higher the level of detail of the building, the higher the cost and processing time will be. This study will review the differences in modeling the potential of rooftop solar PV using different levels of detail. This research will integrate solar radiation data from remote sensing to determine the energy potential of solar radiation and digital surface model data from photogrammetry to create a level of detail for buildings. Integration of solar radiation data and the level of detail of the building will use hillshade analysis. Hillshade analysis can review the shadow effect on the rooftop of a building which will be directly related to the potential of solar energy on the rooftop of the building. This study determines the energy potential on the rooftop of the building with different levels of detail, namely 0, 1, and actual shape, to determine the difference in energy potential in the three scenarios. Hopefully, this research will determine the best level of detail for modeling rooftop solar PV. The best model that can show high accuracy value but at a lower price. Hopefully, this research can also assist policymakers and the public in planning for rooftop solar PV installations to develop renewable energy.

Published: September 2023

Abstract. Frequency of extreme weather events such as cloudbursts, heatwaves etc. have increased as an outcome of changing climate. Identification of the pattern of extreme temperature events is important since it governs various events such as heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, storms, coldwaves etc. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) provides Land Surface Temperature (LST) data at 1 kilometre of spatial resolution at daily interval that can help in the identification and mapping of the anomalies in the temperature at pixel level. This study proposes a global-scale daily long-term thermal anomaly detection tool made using Google Earth Engine (GEE) App. This open source tool with the name of ‘Deviation from Mean’ uses the MODIS LST data available from 2000 till date to detect temperature anomaly based on the deviation of temperature of any day (chosen by the user) from the long-term climatological mean. It also generates a time-series plot of temperature values of any pixel for any date for last 24 years i.e. 2000–2023 in the graphical form to analyze the variation in the temperature over the time. A case study has also been done using the tool to highlight the thermal anomaly experienced over the Indian sub-continent during March-April, 2022 and 2023. This tool is capable of providing thermal anomaly information at global, regional as well as local level that can help in taking region-specific mitigation measures.
SPATIO-TEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF AIR QUALITY AND RELATIONSHIP WITH METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA

Published: September 2023

Abstract. African cities are growing fast, and this rapid urbanisation has tremendously increased air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Despite this disturbing reality, the deleterious impacts of air pollution on livelihoods and the environment are often overlooked. Recently, the link between air quality and meteorological parameters has received attention from researchers and understanding this relationship could significantly improve our understanding of the spatial and temporal dynamics of air quality. This study focuses on analysing the spatiotemporal variation of three key air quality parameters, namely nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and particulate matter (PM10), in Cape Town between 2020 and 2021. The study also aims to assess the relationship between air quality and meteorological parameters during this period, and the compliance with national and international air quality guidelines. Air quality data were collected from five monitoring stations in the City of Cape Town. A preliminary analysis of the data reveals high increases in the concentration of air pollutants from 2020 to 2021. For instance, the average monthly concentration of NO2 and SO2 at Bellville South station more than doubled during this period (from 6.7–14.8 µg/m3 and 3.4–8.1 µg/m3, respectively). This is worrisome as the air quality index (AQI) exceeded the safe limits at several sites. There is a need for urgent action by national and city governments in Africa to invest in air quality monitoring systems to enhance the well-being of citizens and promote the long-term sustainability of cities and infrastructure.

Authors: Demir D. B. , Musaoglu N.
Published: September 2023

Abstract. In this study, deep learning-based semantic segmentation is used to automatically generate CORINE land cover (CLC) Level 2 classes for a test region in Türkiye. This is accomplished by utilizing new datasets and models created from a pilot region in Italy, which exhibits similar land use/land cover (LU/LC) characteristics to the test region in Canakkale/Türkiye. The training and validation datasets for Italy were generated by employing Sentinel-2 images from various months and different band combinations, along with CLC 2018 vector data for labelling. Different datasets were created to investigate the impact of patch sizes (128 and 256 pixels) and seasonal changes in LU/LC. For the semantic segmentation task, the U-Net architecture was selected as the primary deep learning model. Furthermore, the U-Net architecture was used in conjunction with ResNet50 and ResNet101 for transfer learning, enabling the replacement of the encoder section of the U-Net. These models were tested in the Italy region, and the best-performing ones were subsequently applied to the Canakkale test region to automatically generate CLC 2018. The results were compared with published CLC 2018 Level 2 data for the same region, and the accuracy was assessed using the Intersection over Union (IoU) metric. The findings were presented both visually and statistically.

Abstract. The countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in Central Asia are highly prone to natural hazards, more specifically, floods, earthquakes, and landslides. The European Union, in collaboration with the World Bank and the GFDRR, created the program “Strengthening Financial Resilience and Accelerating Risk Reduction in Central Asia” (SFRARR), aiming to advance disaster and climate resilience in Central Asia. Within the framework of the SFRARR project, the “Regionally consistent risk assessment for earthquakes and floods and selective landslide scenario analysis for strengthening financial resilience and accelerating risk reduction in Central Asia” was conceived to help handle and achieve the parent project objectives. A fully probabilistic risk assessment for pluvial and fluvial floods has been carried out for Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan for supporting regional and national risk financing and insurance applications, including potential indemnity and/or parametric risk financing solutions for the structuring of a regional program. The pluvial flood part of the study, however, is omitted here for brevity. A homogenized risk assessment methodology for the five countries and across multiple hazards (floods and earthquake) and asset types has been adopted to obtain strategic financial solutions consistent across geographical areas and across economic sectors. This article presents the data, model, methodology and results for the five Central Asia countries of the flood risk assessment, which represents the first high-resolution regional-scale transboundary risk assessment study in the area aiming at providing tools for decision-making. The output information will inform and enable the World Bank to initiate a policy dialogue. Currently, the availability of risk information for Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance (DRFI) activities remains variable across the region and has been provided by previous projects focusing on a single country. Moreover, few of these studies have quantified multi-hazard disaster risk, and, to our best knowledge, none have done so for the whole region using probabilistic methods applied with the sufficient fidelity required to robustly inform the development of DRFI solutions.
Reinventing EdD Research Methods Courses
Authors: Acton Karen S.
Published: September 2023

The education doctorate program fills an essential niche that allows practitioners to earn a doctorate and make a difference in educational practice and policy. However, critics claim EdD programs are failing to effectively prepare students. There has been a push for the reinvention of the EdD which includes improving EdD student confidence in their ability to undertake research. This calls for a redesign of research methods courses and purposefully grounding them in adult learning theory. The framework of transformative learning can foster higher-order learning by including key components such as critical reflection, collaborative dialogue, and awareness of context. This article shares a transformative learning model used to redevelop an EdD research methods course that emphasised self-reflective tasks such as identity memos, research design maps, and cognitive interviews. This learner-centred, constructivist approach resulted in positive learning outcomes including increased student confidence and enhanced practical knowledge and research skills.
Consultancy Communities of Practice
Authors: Lambrev Veselina S.
Published: September 2023

The last two decades have witnessed an ongoing effort to re-design the education doctorate to prepare practitioners to conduct research as a key aspect of their practice. As part of the reform, Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) members have tried to ensure the delivery of a relevant practice-based curriculum that prepares practitioners to respond to local needs. This article examines how one U.S. EdD program uses a practice-based pedagogy, called the Group Consultancy Project, to develop students as scholarly practitioners, that is, educational leaders who conduct research to enact positive societal changes. The analysis draws from final consultancy reports and from the responses of 11 students in three consultancy projects. By examining how students learned within the projects, the study reveals that the consultancy model cultivated communities of practice that moved students from a practice community toward a community of scholars and researchers.

El objetivo de la investigación es determinar la incidencia del Crédito de Desarrollo Humano en la calidad de vida de los beneficiarios mediante las diferencias en el acceso a servicios básicos, educación, tipo de vivienda y las percepciones en cuanto a ingresos, capacidad de compra y situación económica. Se busca aportar en la discusión sobre bono y crédito como políticas de protección social de las cuales no se tiene un registro generalizado de sus efectos en los beneficiarios según la literatura académica revisada. La población de estudio fueron los beneficiarios asentados en las parroquias urbanas del cantón Loja. La investigación fue de tipo descriptiva y deductiva con un enfoque cuantitativo, en la cual el uso de las pruebas de t independiente y U de Mann-Whitney fueron los parámetros utilizados para encontrar resultados estadísticamente significativos que verifiquen que las percepciones confirmen la hipótesis: el acceso al crédito mejora la calidad de vida de los beneficiarios en comparación a los del bono. Además, el cálculo de la probabilidad de superioridad PS fue útil al encontrar el tamaño del efecto del acceso al crédito en los beneficiarios y determinar cuál de los grupos es superior en cuanto a sus percepciones. Los resultados arrojan que los beneficiarios del crédito se encuentran en una situación más precaria que los beneficiarios del bono, pero si se encuentra una mejor autopercepción de su situación en los que obtuvieron el crédito, y además el efecto del acceso al crédito en las percepciones de los beneficiarios es mínimo.

Published: September 2023

Exploring the therapeutic potential of organotin-based oxo-ethyl carbonodithioates, a series of organotin(IV) thiocarboamates (1-5) were synthesized with diverse alkyl and phenyl substituents. The chemical- composition, morphology, theoretical properties, and drug-DNA binding capabilities of the synthesized derivatives were performed by applying different characterization techniques like FT-IR, NMR (1H, 13C), AFM, DFT analysis, and UV-Vis spectroscopy respectively. The NMR data indicated six and four coordinated geometries, while the AFM results revealed smart surfaces concerning the grain size and root mean square (RMS) roughness, signifying catalytic and biocidal uses. The drug-DNA binding via intercalative mode of interaction with blue and red shifts was determined by using using UV spectroscopy. The in vitro biocidal capacity of selected complexes was evaluated against typical bacterial, fungal, cytotoxic, and leishmanial strains respectively. As a result of the surface and biocidal characterization, the synthesized complexes may be applied with greater potential in biomedical, pharmaceutical, infectious, catalysis, and cosmetics industries

Authors: Waheed uz Zaman Waheed uz Zaman , Amara Dar Amara Dar , Jamil Anwar and Ayesha Munir Jamil Anwar and Ayesha Munir
Published: September 2023

The chemical degradation of Malachite Green dye has been studied by using UV/H2O2 system in presence of transition metal ions (Fe2+, Mn2+ and Ti2+). The degradation reaction was carried out by circulating the aqueous dye solution in a custom-made UV reactor with the help of a variable speed peristaltic pump. The effects of initial concentration of dye, concentration of Hydrogen peroxide, operating temperature, pH, Ultrasound vibrations and transition metal ions were investigated on the time required for complete degradation of the dye. It has been found that under optimum conditions the dye could be degraded in minimum possible time especially in presence of transition metals like iron. The intermediate products obtained during the degradation process were subjected to FTIR spectroscopy for structural analysis. The residue spectra did not show any band revealing the presence of any aromatic ring. To check the completion of the reaction the final residue was analyzed for total organic carbon (TOC). All such tests indicated that the dye has been completely degraded leaving no detectable residue
A Descriptive Analysis of Emotion Regulation in the ESL Classroom of University Students: A Vignette Study
Authors: Ayesha Izhar Chaudri  , Azhar Pervaiz  , Roshan Amber Ali
Published: September 2023

Emotions tend to have a detrimental impact on students’ learning outcomes. This research project is an endeavor to investigate the emotions experienced by students in the ESL classroom and identify specific scenarios where both male and female participants experience positive and negative emotions. The aim is to investigate which Emotion-Regulation Strategies (ERS) both genders employ to quell unfavorable emotions. The instrument MYE (Manage Your Emotions) was administered to English majors (sophomores; N = 35) enrolled in the undergraduate program at the University of Sargodha and for this, the vignette methodology was employed where the primary data was collected using a scenario-based questionnaire designed by Oxford and Gkonou (2017). The students’ emotional responses were examined based on these scenario-based questions typical to Classroom Language learning. Participants explicitly specified the contexts where they experienced positive and negative emotions respectively. The findings revealed that feelings of interest and excitement were the most reported emotions amongst females. Whereas aggressive tendencies were observed in male participants rather than girls in similar scenarios. It was also established that male and female students employ different ERS to counter any negative emotions. Finally, future research directions and pedagogical applications are suggested for a better and more comprehensive understanding of ESL classrooms.

TChem: A Performance Portable Parallel Software Toolkit for Complex Kinetic Mechanisms
Authors: Diaz-Ibarra Oscar
Published: September 2023

We present TChem, a performance portable software toolkit to enable the analysis of complex kinetic mechanisms. The software provides tools for gas-phase and surface chemistry, thermodynamic properties, and implements formulations for several canonical reactor models. Analytical derivatives necessary to construct Jacobian matrices corresponding to all implemented functionalities are available through automatic differentiation. TChem uses the Kokkos framework to achieve portability across multiple heterogeneous computing platforms with a single version of the code. We implement a hierarchical parallelism framework to enable efficient chemical source term and thermodynamic property evaluations over the number of samples assigned to the local computing device. We analyze parallel efficiency results extracted from test cases for thermodynamic properties, source terms, and Jacobians evaluations on Intel Xeon CPUs and NVIDIA Volta GPUs.
時尚奢侈品袋包顧客賦權與品牌依附關係之研究－以產品涉入為中介變數
Authors: 黃偉宙 黃偉宙 , Wei-Chou Huang 周建亨
Published: September 2023

奢侈時尚品牌為市場帶來龐大的商機並持續的獲利成長，除設計師專業設計外，近年來亦積極的希望賦權予客戶。奢侈時尚品牌雖以服飾為主要產品，但袋包產品為服飾配件產品中具有重要的地位情境，扮演核心穿搭的功能及角色。顧客在購買奢侈服飾時往往先從袋包開始，較具有普遍性，購買袋包相關經驗中有賦權的狀態及現象，是故本研究以奢侈時尚袋包為研究之產品及產業類別。過去許多研究認為賦權對於平價時尚品牌是有益的。

實務上奢侈時尚品牌希望保持絕對的品牌權力，並與顧客保持距離，顧客賦權是否可以產生正面品牌依附，是值得深入思考的。

顧客對產品資訊涉入越多，會提高品牌依附的程度。賦權程度越高會增加顧客對產品的需求及興趣。產品涉入對於顧客在產品訊息的收集及處理有相當重要的意義。因此本研究欲探討產品涉入是否能中介顧客賦權與品牌依附有所影響。

本研究以網路結構性問卷進行調查，採取便利抽樣，以Google表單之電子問卷形式，採不記名方式對北部某大學設計學院之日間及進修部學生電郵寄發電子信件，本研究共計發放350份問卷，回收有效問卷共335份。

研究結果顯示，在控制公眾自我意識的影響下，顧客賦權與品牌依附具顯著正向影響力。此外產品涉入對於兩者之間的關係具有顯著的部分中介效果。因此，本研究所有假說都獲得支持。根據研究結果提出理論與實務意涵。

 

Luxurious fashion brands have brought vast business opportunities to the market and are seeing continuous growth in profits. Aside from the advancements in professional ties of the designers, fashion brands have shown keen interests in empowering the consumers. Despite clothings being the major products of deluxe fashion brands, designer bags also have a greater significance compared to other merchandises in the industry, playing the central role when it comes to accessorizing. When customers are shopping for costly clothings, it is common that they will start with choosing their desired bags. Judging from our experiences, we saw cases of empowerment occur when purchasing designer bags, hence our decision to choose luxurious fashion bags as the subject of the present study. Various past studies have considered that empowerment being beneficial to the more affordable fashion brands.

In practice, deluxe fashion brands seek to remain absolute authority of their brands and stay distant from their customers. The inquiry of whether consumer empowerment can result in positive brand attachment is worthy of further examination.

The higher the consumers are involved in product information, the more they will be attached to the brand. With greater empowerment, customers will have a larger demand and interest in the products. For the consumers, product involvement has an importance in accumulating and processing product information. Therefore, our study wishes to discuss if product involvement can moderate consumer empowerment and its influence on brand attachment.

We chose to investigate with Internet based structured questionnaires, using the convenience sampling method. With the online survey system of “Google Forms”, we distributed anonymous questionnaires to students in a college of design located in Northern Taiwan through E-mail. Among the 350 issued forms, we received 335 valid questionnaires.

Our results indicate that, under controlled public self-consciousness, consumer empowerment has a consequential postive impact on brand attachment, and product involvement has a remarkable moderating effect on the relationship between them. Thus, the hypotheses of the presnt study have all been supported. We will propose our theoretical and pratical implications based on our findings.

運用全壽期管理概念整合陸軍後勤資訊系統之研究
Authors: 林士閔 林士閔 , 林于令 林于令
Published: September 2023

國軍執行各項軍事重大巨額採購及建案工程，皆須辦理可行性評估並依循「中央政府中程計畫預算編制辦法」及「政府公共工程計畫與經費審議作業要點」相關規定辦理。

可行性評估係以預測為前提，以投資效果為目的，從技術、經濟及管理等層面，進行綜合分析研究的方法。可行性研究的基本任務，是對新建或改建項目的主要問題，從技術及經濟角度進行全面地分析研究，並預測投資後的經濟效果，在既定的範圍內進行方案評估驗證，並合理地利用資源，以達到預定的社經效益。

然軍事工程往往以無收入來源為由，而忽略相關分析。為使國軍在推動重大工程建設時能遵循「中央政府中程計畫預算編制辦法」，本次研究找尋可代替收入來源因子，並進行成本效益分析，在維持國防建軍的同時，也能瞭解國軍工程建設的經濟價值。此外，行政院公共工程委員會自民國101年起推動政府採購全生命週期，將維護營運管理階段納入工程規劃階段要項，故本文納入全生命週期理念，使未來軍事建設在研擬可行性評估與分析經濟效益的同時，也能遵循其理念。

 
俄羅斯後勤與波羅的海國家前線城鎮防禦
Authors: 陳駿穎 陳駿穎
Published: September 2023

俄羅斯於2022年2月24日入侵烏克蘭，除關注俄烏戰爭本身外，波羅的海防禦亦被推進北約安全議程核心。故本文就俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭之後勤與軍事行動的環境背景下，探討波羅的海城市邊界的城鎮防禦之合理性。

本文首先探討俄羅斯的軍事教條及後勤物流如何交織，以及兩者在烏克蘭戰爭期間的聯合表現。接著概述波羅的海鐵路和公路網路，尤其是那些從波羅的海國家首都通往俄羅斯或白俄羅斯邊境口岸的鐵、公路網路。

俄烏戰爭使我們瞭解俄羅斯的軍事能力，另從波羅的海鐵、公路網路的公開訊息中得知可識別的最佳前推軸線。鑑此，在波羅的海城市中心進行前線防禦為最明智之戰略，縱深防禦則保留給次要進攻軸線，俄羅斯在這些軸線上僅有有限的機會依賴鐵路進行後勤支援。然此種選擇在戰略上仍是明智的，即使這種前線防禦的目的只是為爭取時間讓平民撤離，或是讓北約反攻或增援波羅的海國家。

 
Modernity and Difference: In the Context of India and Indian Literatures
Authors: Dharwadker Vinay
Published: September 2023

This article provides an overview of the seminar on India and Indian literature held in summer 2020 as part of the Redesigning Modernities project at Penn State. It summarizes the organization of the seminar, contextualizes its materials and goals, and discusses its principal outcomes. The main question that the seminar’s twenty-six faculty and graduate student participants sought to explore collectively, across multiple humanistic disciplines, was: Why does the modern world look so different in a geo-cultural location such as India or South Asia, as we look at it through the eyes of Indian writers of fiction, prose, poetry, and drama in several languages?
The Use and Abuse of Compost
Authors: Jagoe Eva-Lynn
Published: September 2023

Food and bodies die and decompose in ways that can contribute to a cycle of regeneration through compost. Late modernity functions as a discard culture, however, and this process of life and death is often broken or interrupted. This article analyzes the reappearance of compost as a solution to waste in the language of entrepreneurs, scientists, and scholars who assert their relationship to it. In these discourses, the multiple species that perform the cycle of death and life are put to work on yet another frontier of capitalism for the purpose of profit and accumulation. Compost is fast becoming a greenwashed commodity with uses both as a new technology and as an ideology that centers the human, much as it claims to cherish the nonhuman. This analysis focuses on the technologization of compost; funeral practices and human corpse composting; and the use of composting as a metaphor in recent scholarship.
Speculative World-Building, Modernity, and the Text in Crisis: An Ecological Reading of Renee Gladman’s Ravicka Novels
Authors: Schauss Martin
Published: September 2023

This article considers the interrelation between capitalist modernity as ecological crisis and the crisis of the textual economy in Renee Gladman’s experimental novels set in the fictional city-state of Ravicka (2010–2017). The article shows how Gladman attempts to reposition the experimental work within the world-literary field by framing the text itself as ecological, at once implicated in cultural and geopolitical modes of production and circulation, and generative in terms of speculative world-building. The article focuses on Gladman’s exploration of urban space and architecture in relation to ecological catastrophe, and draws comparisons with other speculative designs, such as the People’s Parliament of Rojava in Northern Syria. While Gladman’s eroding architectural-linguistic landscape translates world-ecological issues like forced displacement, race, gender, pollution, and unevenly distributed forms of eco-political violence, her texts also problematize projection and allegorical modes of reading, signaling the abstraction of social relations in modernity. The article suggests that Gladman’s experimental writing ultimately hopes to open a new space of relational, embodied thinking while finding creative energy and resilience within the political constraints of literary production.
István Deák’s “Czech” School
Authors: Paces Cynthia
Published: September 2023

Students of István Deák have been at the forefront of problematizing the Czech national narrative, particularly following the fall of Communism. The Czech nationalist interpretation of history casts the Czechs as an imprisoned nation within Austria (and later inside the Soviet bloc). In this schema, the 1620 Battle of White Mountain ushered in an era of temno (darkness) during which the Germanic Habsburgs suppressed the Czech national language and culture. This article examines how scholars who studied with Deák complicated this narrative by investigating national indifference and fissures within the nineteenth- and twentieth-century national movements.
Legal Considerations in Machine-Assisted Decision-Making: Planning and Building as a Case Study
Authors: Ng Yee-Fui , Windholz Eric , Moutsias James
Published: September 2023

The rise of automated decision-making in government poses both benefits and challenges. This article identifies and examines legal considerations relevant to governments and businesses in automating existing decision-making processes, focussing on planning permits and building approvals as a case study. It examines issues of transparency, algorithmic bias, privacy, data and intellectual property rights, as well as the implications of the use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI). It also considers legal issues including whether decisions can be automated and if so, whether they are susceptible to judicial and administrative review; legal liability for damage caused by the use of AI in government decision-making; and the admissibility of AI-generated information. It is argued that although the use of AI provides significant benefits in terms of speed, efficiency and quality of decision-making, attention to the considerations of transparency, responsibility, privacy, liability and admissibility is required to minimise the risks of utilising AI systems.
