Rekonstrukcja praindoeuropejskiego systemu fonologicznego
Authors: Piwowarczyk Dariusz R.
Published: October 2022

Monografia ukazuje współczesny stan wiedzy dotyczącej rekonstrukcji praindoeuropejskiego systemu fonologicznego. Opierając się na regularnych odpowiedniościach dźwiękowych w morfemach poświadczonych w najstarszych językach indoeuropejskich, autor przedstawia rekonstrukcję poszczególnych fonemów praindoeuropejskich oraz całego systemu fonologicznego wraz z jego możliwą interpretacją fonetyczną. Przy każdym fonemie podaje pierwiastki i formy praindoeuropejskie wyekscerpowane ze współczesnych leksykonów indoeuropeistycznych. Zwraca uwagę na liczbę poświadczonych form dla każdego fonemu oraz ich rozłożenie w danych grupach języków indoeuropejskich. Dodatkowo stara się zbadać, jak statystycznie układa się liczba odtwarzanych fonemów dla podanych pierwiastków praindoeuropejskich. W rezultacie dochodzi do wniosku, iż przedstawiany obecnie praindoeuropejski system fonologiczny powinien również być rekonstruowany dla najstarszej fazy rozwoju języka praindoeuropejskiego, jeszcze przed wyodrębnieniem się grupy języków anatolijskich. Innowacją pracy jest kladystyczne podejście do rekonstrukcji praindoeuropejskich pierwiastków i zwrócenie uwagi na te grupy języków indoeuropejskich, na podstawie których odtwarzane są poszczególne pierwiastki, oraz na liczbę poświadczeń danych pierwiastków w określonych grupach języków indoeuropejskich.

Reproductive traits are of paramountimportance in an efficient lamb production system. In Croatia, values of reproductive traits of Romanov sheep are below the average expected for this breed, indicating the need for improvement of these traits to exploit the breed’s full reproductive potential. This study was conducted on 260 Romanov ewes located at a commercial Romanov sheep farm in Croatia. All ewes were kept under similar conditions, and reproductive management was based on accelerated lambing with continuous mating. Linear models with fixed effects were used to estimate the influence of year of birth/lambing, season of birth/lambing, ram, parity and litter type on litter size (LS), age at first lambing (AFL) and lambing interval (LI). Average LS was 2.11 ± 0.71, while the year of lambing and parity were the most important factors affecting this trait. The smallest litters were recorded after 1st parity (1.77 ± 0.06), and the largest after 5th parity (2.21 ± 0.08). AFL averaged 388.5 ± 72.4 days. All investigated non-genetic factors had a significant (P<0.05) influence on AFL, with year of birth as most important. The average LI was 241.2 ± 70.8 days. A significant (P<0.05) influence of all factors on LI was observed. Ewes lambing in spring (200.2 ± 7.9 days) or summer (190.5 ±6.6 days) had a significantly (P<0.05) shorter LI than ewes lambing in autumn (227.7 ± 8.3 days) or winter (237.2 ± 6.7 days). The longest LI was observed after the first parity (284.0 ±5.5 days). Average values for reproductive traits in the examined population of Romanov sheep were higher than those reported in the official Croatian database for breeding sheep. Non-genetic factors have a significant influence on the variation of reproductive traits of Romanov sheep, and therefore should be considered when assessing ewes’ reproductive performance.

Published: October 2022

Edificações localizadas em climas tropicais tendem a receber grande quantidade de radiação solar em suas fachadas, ocasionando geralmente, desconforto visual devido à alta luminosidade. Dispositivos sombreadores aliados às refletâncias de suas superfícies podem auxiliar no controle do excesso de iluminação natural. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a influência da refletância das superfícies de prateleiras de luz em ambiente de escritório em Vitória-ES. Na metodologia realizou-se simulação no software Troplux, em escritório, com aberturas compostas por vidro transparente comum e prateleiras de luz externas, adotando-se na simulação as refletâncias 0,90 e 0,20 nas orientações Norte e Sul. Os céus adotados foram o céu 7 (parcialmente nublado) e 12 (claro), segundo a CIE. Os pontos de medição de iluminação permitiram obter valores de iluminância que foram comparados aos intervalos da UDI e a NBR ISO/CIE 8995-1. Conclui-se que a prateleira de luz com refletância 0,20 é mais eficiente na redução da iluminação excessiva, para ambos os céus e orientações. Para Norte, céu 7 (parcialmente nublado), as prateleiras de luz de refletância 0,20 possuem bom desempenho para o ambiente ao longo do dia e do ano. No céu 12 (claro), a refletância 0,20 possui melhor performance nos meses de maior altura solar.

Published: October 2022

O adensamento de áreas urbanas sem planejamento adequado restringe o acesso à luz natural. Este estudo avaliou a influência do afastamento e orientação solar na disponibilidade de iluminação natural em ambiente profundo em Santa Maria, RS. Foi avaliado um ambiente de dimensões 2,55 m(fachada) X 4,80 m, localizado no segundo, quarto e sexto pavimentos de uma edificação com oito pavimentos. O entorno apresentou duas variações de afastamento entre edificações e quatro de orientação. O fator de luz natural médio (MDF), autonomia de luz natural espacial (sDA) e nível de iluminância útil de luz natural (UDI) foram avaliados por simulação computacional com o plug-in DIVA para Rhinoceros. O parâmetro com maior influência sobre as métricas foi a altura: pavimentos mais altos apresentaram melhor disponibilidade e distribuição da luz natural, enquanto pavimentos mais baixos apresentaram menor disponibilidade e pior distribuição. A orientação solar com melhor disponibilidade foi a Sul, devido à contribuição da iluminação indireta, refletida no entorno. O aumento do afastamento entre edificações contribuiu positivamente para os índices de luz natural, com maior influência nos pavimentos mais baixos. O trabalho pode contribuir para o projeto de edificações e o planejamento urbano de cidades de médio porte em processo de adensamento urbano.

Selected Methods of optimized Sampling for Index Tracking – Evidence from German Stocks
Authors: Meyer-Bullerdiek Frieder
Published: October 2022

Abstract

The aim of this study is to verify the tracking quality of four different optimization approaches used for approximate replication (sampling) of a stock index. These approaches include relative optimization, optimization according to Markowitz, the use of regression methods and linear optimization. To test the tracking qualities of these strategies, an empirical analysis of portfolios of 10 stocks included in the German stock index DAX is used to determine the in-sample and out-of-sample results. In addition, a portfolio composition based on market capitalization and an equally weighted portfolio are considered.
The analysis shows that the in-sample results are quite similar for all index tracking methods used in this study. Considering the out-of-sample results, it can be stated that all four index tracking methods lead to a portfolio that initially shows a high degree of similarity to the benchmark. However, it is surprising that the equally weighted portfolio leads to the best overall results. Therefore, the analysis presented here gives the impression that the uncomplicated equal weighting is preferable to the more sophisticated index tracking methods considered in this study.

Published: October 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of inventory management on sustainable performance of state corporations in Kenya.

Methodology: The descriptive research design was applied in carrying out the study. The respondents of the study included the heads of finance and procurement department in all 187 state corporations in Kenya. Census was used in this study where the head of procurement department and the head of finance in each state corporation that resulted to 374 study respondents. This study used a questionnaire as the main research tool to collect primary data. Descriptive analysis and inferential analysis was carried out which was made possible through the use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.  

Findings: Inventory management significantly affected the sustainability of state corporations in Kenya at p<0.05. This shows that upholding inventory management would be essential in steering the sustainable performance of the state corporations. The regression model established that the R value was 0.633 while the R2 was 0.401 which indicated that the variability of the inventory management on the sustainable performance of the state corporations in Kenya could be explained by up to 40.1% of the model and the P-value was 0.000<0.05. This implies that the model was fit to determine the relationship between the inventory management and sustainable performance and therein make conclusions and recommendations.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: While the existing inventory management theory used in this study was validated, the study recommends that the accounting as well as procurement officer in each state procuring entity need to ensure that all proper stock levels are kept as per the regulation through proper verification and processing of all requirements, adhering to prescribed stock policies in the Regulation and ensuring that they duly consider safety stock and lead time when replenishing to ensure appropriate stock levels are kept at all time.  The study recommended that public procuring entities policy makers need to establish a policy framework to expedite effective adoption of best inventory management systems to facilitate sustainable performance.

Authors: Shahid Yousra , Ashiq Aqsa , Anwar Shanza , Mushtaq Zainab , Zaheer Sadia
Published: October 2022

Background and Objective: A high incidence of burnout, depression, and anxiety is found among medical undergraduate and postgraduate students worldwide with the increasing prevalence of stress. The objective of this study was to analyze the correlation between water intake and the risk of anxiety among medical undergraduates of a public sector medical college in Pakistan.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 375 medical undergraduates of Khawaja Muhammad Safdar Medical College, Sialkot, Pakistan. To assess the level of anxiety, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Assessment Scale 7 (GAD-7) was used. Points 3-0 were assigned to response categories of “nearly every day,” “more than half the days,” “several days,” and “not at all,” respectively. GAD-7 score was calculated by adding together the scores for seven questions. Scores of 15, 10, and 5 were taken as cut-off points for severe, moderate, and mild anxiety, respectively. Calculation of water consumption was carried out based on the number of water glasses intake per day. It was classified into <4, 4-7, and >7 of water/day.
Result: Out of 110 male medical students, 58.2% were suffering from normal to mild anxiety and 41.8% from moderate to severe anxiety. A total of 40.0% and 60.0% of female medical students were suffering from normal-mild and moderate-severe anxiety, respectively. The risk of anxiety was more among female than male students. Logistic regression indicated a correlation between decreased anxiety and female gender and water intake of 4-7 or >7 glasses/day.
Conclusion: The findings of the current study showed lesser anxiety levels in male students and an inverse relationship between water intake and level of anxiety. Therefore, increasing the intake of water can be beneficial in reducing stress and anxiety thus improving the quality of life.

Published: October 2022

Trafik kazaları dünya çapında bir endişe kaynağı olup, genç ve yetişkinler arasında önde gelen ölüm ve yaralanma nedenidir. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü'nün (WHO) 2018 yılında yol güvenliğine ilişkin küresel durum raporuna göre, trafik kazaları nedeniyle her yıl yaklaşık 1,35 milyon kişi hayatını kaybetmekte ve 50 milyon kişi yaralanmaktadır. Karayolu trafik sistemi, insan, araç, yol ve doğal çevre gibi kapsamlı faktörleri içeren karmaşık bir sistemdir. Bu karmaşık sistem uygun iyileştirmeler olmadığı taktirde can kayıplarına, yaralanmalara, maddi hasara ve trafik sıkışıklığına neden olacaktır. Bu nedenle, trafik güvenliğini artırmak için trafik kazalarını etkileyen etkili faktörlerin analiz edilmesi gerekmektedir. Mevcut literatürde trafik kazalarını etkileyen ekonomi, iklim, yol yapısı, trafik bilgileri ve trafik güvenliği kanunları gibi çok sayıda faktör bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada trafik kazalarına etki eden sürücü dışındaki kriterler ve bunların alt kriterleri belirlendi. Ardından çok kriterli karar verme yöntemleri olan BWM ve SWARA metotları ile trafik kazalarına etki eden faktörlerin ağrılıkları hesaplanarak karayolu kazalarının azaltılması için öneri sunuldu.

Published: October 2022

Abstract. Due to the fast urbanization and climate change, urban aquifers are
considered as a strategic source of potable water. However, a potential
limitation is the presence of contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, which
might deteriorate groundwater quality. This work investigated the occurrence
of pharmaceuticals and evaluated their human health risk in an alluvial
urban aquifer recharged by a polluted river that receives discharges from
wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). To this end, river and groundwater
samples were collected from February to May 2021 for the analysis of 92
pharmaceuticals using a solid-phase extraction and a high-pressure liquid
chromatography coupled to a high resolution mass spectrometric methodology
(HPLC-HRMS). Results showed that 35 pharmaceuticals, including 6
transformation products (TPs), were detected in all groundwater samples and
the range of concentrations was from the low ng L−1 to 44.5 µg L−1.
Moreover, the concentrations of some substances decreased along the flow
path during bank filtration, suggesting the occurrence of natural
attenuation processes (e.g., adsorption or oxidation-reduction). Finally,
most of the measured substances did not pose a risk to human health since
estimated risk quotients were low.

Abstract. The ozone distribution characteristics in the stratosphere or troposphere are worth to be clarified due to their positive/negative impact on climate and human health. Nevertheless, the vertical distribution characteristics of ozone in China have not been fully understood either due to the limited time period of individual satellite records or the inconsistency of the accuracy of ozone products between different satellite records. In response to this challenge, this study first identified the vertical sensitivity of AIRS in detecting trends and verified the sensitivity in the near ground using in-situ measurements. Moreover, these different satellite records were cross-validated in order to check their consistency. In order to construct long-term, consistent ozone datasets dating back to the 1970s was constructed by intercalibrating the ozone products of different satellites using the cumulative distribution function with consideration of the vertical sensitivity. The distribution of ozone in the stratosphere and troposphere was then identified at several altitude layers (i.e., 3 km, 5 km, 12 km, 26 km, 31 km, and 34 km) with obvious interannual variation. The results indicate the seasonal variation of ozone is more significant in the troposphere while the interannual variation of ozone is more significant in the stratosphere. The spatiotemporal variation of ozone in the stratosphere shows a strong dependence on altitudes, and opposite results can be found at different altitudes. The ozone in the troposphere does not present significant interannual variations but shows distinct regional distribution characteristics in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and Inner Mongolia.

Abstract. Across tropical ecosystems, global environmental change is causing drier climatic conditions and increases in nutrient depositions. Such changes represent large uncertainties due to unknown interactions between drought and nutrient availability in controlling ecosystem net primary productivity (NPP). Using a large-scale manipulative experiment, we studied whether nutrient availability affects the responses of three component NPP fluxes (stem growth, fine roots production, and litterfall) to through-fall exclusion in 30-year-old unmanaged mixed plantations of six tree species native to the tropical dry forest of Costa Rica. We used a factorial design with four treatments: control (CN), fertilization (F), drought (D), and drought+fertilization (D+F). While we found that a 13–15 % reduction in soil moisture only led to modest effects in the studied ecosystem processes, NPP increased as a function of F and D+F. At the same time, NPP increases with nutrient additions were larger in the plots without throughfall exclusion. The relative contribution of each biomass flux to NPP varied depending on the treatment, with woody biomass being more important for F and root biomass for D+F and D. Moreover, seasonal canopy cover was maintained longer in the fertilized plots. Belowground processes such as nodulation and microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) also responded to experimental treatments, with a decrease in nodulation for F plots and an increase in CUE for F and D plots. Species functional type (i.e., N-fixation or deciduousness) and not the experimental manipulations were the main source of variation in tree relative growth rates. Our results emphasize that nutrient availability moderately constrains ecosystem processes in tropical dry forests, but this depends on water availability.

Abstract. The analysis of biological and ecological traits has a long history in evolutionary and ecological research. However, trait data are often scattered and standardised terminology that transcends taxonomic and biogeographical context are generally missing. As part of the development of a global trait database of marine species, we collated trait information for European seaweeds and structured the data within the standardised framework of the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). We collected 45,175 records for 21 biologically and ecologically relevant traits of seaweeds. This resulted in a trait database for 1,745 European seaweed species of which more than half (56 %) of the records were documented at the species level, while the remaining 44 % was documented at a higher taxonomic level and subsequently inherited at lower levels. The trait database for European seaweeds will serve as a foundation for future research on diversity and evolution of seaweeds, and their responses to global changes. The data will contribute to developing detailed trait-based ecosystem models, and will be an important tool to inform marine conservation policies. The data is publicly accessible through the AlgaeTraits portal, algaetraits.org, doi: https://doi.org/10.14284/574, (AlgaeTraits, 2022).
TOWARDS A VIRTUAL PLANNING SUPPORT THEATRE FOR CITY PLANNING AND DESIGN

Published: October 2022

Abstract. In the era of ‘Smart Cities’, Planning Support Systems play an important role in providing a suite of digital tools to support evidenced based planning and design (Pettit et al. 2019). Planning Support Theatres vary from the traditional City Command Control Centres which are used to manage the real-time city (Kitchin 2014) in that they look at planning and design of future of cities and regions through collaboration (Healey 2003) between various stakeholders. Such methodologies which lend themselves to collaborative planning and design including Geo-design (Steinitz 2012; Pettit et al. 2019) and Co-design (Punt et al. 2020). There has been a plethora of virtual learning environments applicable to any discipline-specific application, each with their own names, terminology, feature sets and degrees of interoperability. In addition to providing the regular set of advantages such as ease of use across large geographies, improving collaboration between diverse set of stakeholders, these virtual platforms have become essential in the current world with travel restrictions and social distancing. In this context, it is imperative to explore the use of virtual systems for the purpose designing and implementing planning support theatre for city planning and design. This research builds a prototype for web based, 3D, immersive, planning support theatre and evaluates its functionality against similar physical theatres.
LOCATION-ENABLED DIGITAL TWINS – UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF NMCAS IN A EUROPEAN CONTEXT

Published: October 2022

Abstract. Digital Twins are realistic digital representation of physical objects and are differentiated from traditional models by the live connection between the digital and the physical worlds, often enabled by sensors. They provide insights into the physical world for decision makers, for example via simulation, and can be used to directly alter the physical world without manual intervention. While they have their origins in manufacturing, they are increasingly being used within the built environment, by both public and private sectors. Increasingly city-wide and National Digital Twins are also being considered, to underpin local, municipal and central government decision making. For these emerging Digital Twins, location data such as that provided by National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies (NMCAs) has the potential to underpin Digital Twin modelling. It thus becomes important for NMCAs to better understand Digital Twins in order to determine whether current data offerings can meet this new demand and how best to support the various activities. As a first stage investigation under the auspices of EuroSDR, this paper explores challenges and opportunities for NMCAs and others working in the location sector, presenting the result of an international survey and workshop on these topics. We conclude that there is significant overlap with existing challenges within the geospatial community and those required to better support Digital Twins - e.g. interoperability and data management and governance. Additionally, the opportunity for a broader understanding and uptake of location data offered by Digital Twins should not be ignored.
SEMANTICALLY ENRICHED VOXELS AS A COMMON REPRESENTATION FOR COMPARISON AND EVALUATION OF 3D BUILDING MODELS

Published: October 2022

Abstract. 3D city models are fast becoming a key factor for planning, design and analysis in the AEC industry, and urban informatics. Data are being acquired from a variety of sources and each consequent representation contains inherent information about its location, geometry, structure and usability. These digital representations can range from unstructured models with very little semantic data such as 3D point clouds, and 3D mesh models or they can be highly structured and semantically enriched models following CityGML and IFC/BIM standards. Matching these diverse representations against one another can facilitate information flow and eventually lead to a coherent interconnected Digital twin. Consistency measures would be needed to compare one representation against another. For comparison of any kind, a common baseline needs to be established. A tentative approach, as outlined in this paper, is to convert all the model types into a common representation such as ‘volumetric pixels’ or ‘voxels’ but the concept of ‘voxel’ as we know it, is not enough to deal with the rich semantic and organizational structure of modelling representations such as IFC and CityGML. Voxelisation is a complex process and conventional conversion methods concentrate on translating the geometry between representation types but the semantic and class hierarchy information is usually not translated. This paper assesses the need for matching 3D models using a common representation (voxels), discusses the challenges of the voxelisation process and proposes the concept of a ‘RichVoxel’.

Abstract. Urban dynamics modelling using system dynamic (SD) approaches aims to provide an understanding of the major internal forces within an urban area, such as population development. SD models provide valuable information for decision and policy making. Urban systems are strongly related to the urban space, which is well described by geospatial data. Therefore, the connection of SD and geospatial data is advantageous, both for feeding spatial information into SD models and for further spatial analyses and for visualizing the results of SD in geographic context. This paper describes a new approach to combine an SD model with a semantic 3D city model. Our approach shows that a bidirectional data exchange between semantic city models and SD models improves the predictions generated by the SD models. Furthermore, we show that automatic modification of the semantic city model by the output of the SD model allows for 3D visualization and further analysis of future scenarios.Since semantic 3D city models and SD models have complex data structures, and since the models have evolved in very different domains, integrating the models is a complex task. In order to facilitate the integration process, we developed a conceptual model, which describes the data structures of the semantic city model and of the SD model as well as the bidirectional relations between the models using the concept of model weaving. The approach was tested using the SD tool Vensim and a CityGML data set from the city of Munich for an urban densification use case.
