Empathy Enhances Wellbeing in Interpersonal Relationships across Lifespan
Authors: Mariadhas Joseph 
Published: March 2019

<p>The healthy and happy human living revolves around establishing and maintaining stable relationships with each other. The life experiences pose whether these meaningful relationships are considered important for the well-being of individuals and communities. People constantly strive for cordial interactions with others, on one side, to avoid psycho-physiological damages such as loneliness and disapproval from others and on the other side, to shape their life meaningfully and grow purposefully. Empathy has been considered a vital component of one’s social cognition that contributes to one’s ability to understand and respond adaptively to others’ emotions that promotes prosocial behaviour in interpersonal relationships and communications. Empathy enhances cognitive abilities and emotional stability thus promoting well being in interpersonal relationships (Preston &amp; de Wall, 2002). The human qualities, for instance, attraction, love, kinship, friendship, jealousy, betrayal, forgiveness, communication, conflict and aggression are either positively or negatively connected to human relationship domain and vital for the wellbeing at all levels. And, for upholding wellbeing and interpersonal relationships, the predominant and promising dynamic seems to be the psychological component of empathy. The present presentation pungently brings out the conceptual details on the concept of empathy along with its imperative role in enhancing interpersonal affinity or relationships in enhancing wellbeing in general. This paper is presented to establish that empathy enhances the interpersonal relationship and well-being across the life span.<strong></strong></p>
Gay Wellbeing in the Life after 377: My Quest for Forming a Sustainable Community
Authors: Sarma Mukul Kr 
Published: March 2019

<p>My letter in the Assam Tribune (‘Life after 377’, September 22, 2018) raises some issues of a sexual minority called the gay community. One of the completely unaddressed problems of gays of Assam is their ‘deteriorating mental health as they hide among heterosexuals having the similar gender expressions of heterosexuals, bearing utter suppression, self-loathing, denial and fear’. This ‘most discriminated, stigmatized and fearful’ community has seen a glimpse of dignity and hope after the Supreme Court’s verdict on September 6, 2018, that decriminalized consensual gay-sex. However, it seems, no policy is framed so far for the wellbeing of this community. The paper explores challenges of hidden gay youths-that I have realized communicating and counselling some of them-to conform to their true sexuality as they have been growing in a strict heteronormative milieu suppressing and often ignoring their true sexual desire owing to severe peer, family and societal pressure and lack of sensitization in a gay friendly atmosphere where they could access to some solid references of Assamese gays living truthful, happy life with their gay life-partners. This gay group have members in their mid-twenties, near thirty and in the thirties. They have dated girls, and have been forming heterosexual dreams of starting a family marrying a girl since adolescence; hence, have realised their gay desire quite late. The paper tries to capture their conflicts in the realisation of their true-self; that they still try to deny; and hence, move towards entering a bisexual life with sighs of loss, helplessness and confusions. All of them have been in depression or other psychiatric illnesses-mild to noticeable-which some of them have admitted to having gone through. A majority of them have lost the urge of competing for earning; and hence, financially dependent on the family, although almost all of them have a graduate degree and above. However, there is hardly any psychiatric intervention for promoting their mental health due to their own ignorance and stigma, raising some questions: Will they be able to make a new family happy after marriage? , Should we support the heterosexual marriage of gays? , What is the way out, if not?</p>

Published: March 2019

Background and Objectives: Low assess to ante-natal care (ANC) services continue to pose a major public health challenge leading to high maternal mortality rates in developing countries. Non-utilization of ANC services among about a quarter of Nigerian women of reproductive age remains a major concern in the actualization of Sustainable Development Goals. Considering the complexity of healthcare utilization in Nigeria, the relationship between a particular health care utilization pattern and women autonomy has not been fully examined. This study examines the patterns of women autonomy and their relationships with ANC utilization in Nigeria.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis of the 2013 nationally representative data from the Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). Factor analysis/score were used to construct women autonomy index, while chi-square and logistic regression were used to establish the relationships between the response and exposure variables.
Results: There is a strong relationship between women decision making autonomy status and ANC services among Nigeria women. The odds of utilizing ANC services among women with more decision making autonomy were significantly 3.79 higher than among women with low decision-making autonomy. The use of ANC increases as age, education and wealth status of respondents increase.
Conclusions and Global Health Implications: These results indicate that women autonomy is undoubtedly a major determinant of ANC utilization in Nigeria.

Relaciones entre los cambios en los usos del suelo y el incremento de los riesgos de inundabilidad y erosión: análisis diacrónico en la provincia de Málaga (1957–2007)
Authors: Gallegos Reina Antonio , Perles Roselló María Jesús 
Published: March 2019

Las características rexistásicas de los sistemas eco-geomorfológicos en entornos mediterráneos predisponen a la existencia de riesgos ciertos de inundabilidad y erosión de suelos. Se trata de geo-sistemas de respuesta rápida frente al cambio en cualquiera de sus componentes y muy sensibles a los cambios en los usos del suelo. Este trabajo usa una región extensa y significativa como es la provincia de Málaga para evaluar el modo en que el aprovechamiento del territorio ha actuado positiva o negativamente sobre dichos riesgos. Para ello se realiza un análisis diacrónico de ambos procesos y se evalúan las variaciones de su intensidad. Se han utilizado como indicadores el umbral de escorrentía y la erosión potencial de suelos, y se ha trabajado a dos escalas, la provincial, para obtener una visión comparativa de la distribución de los procesos, y una de más detalle para identificar de forma concreta cuáles son los cambios territoriales que explican los principales incrementos y decrementos en la erosión y la inundabilidad. Los resultados muestran el reparto geográfico de ambos riesgos en los dos periodos seleccionados, y permite concluir las variaciones espaciales a las que la evolución del territorio ha dado lugar, y la influencia que procesos como la litoralización, el turismo, la periurbanización, los incendios forestales o las reforestaciones.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
This paper presents a case study of how a drilling contractor handled the implementation of Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) equipment on 4 (four) drilling rigs, with focus on the impact on Well Control equipment and emergency disconnect while performing FMCD (Floating Mud Cap Drilling). The paper considers the effects of the rapid inflow of seawater from the bottom of the riser (water rush-in) during a possible emergency disconnect. Additionally, this paper discusses concerns about the subsea equipment when the drilling fluid level is close to the subsea BOP stack or below the seabed. Such scenarios can expose the drilling riser, riser adaptor, flexible joint, BOP annular preventer, BOP seals and gaskets to an inward-acting pressure differential. Restrictions that this inward-acting differential pressure may impose on the conventional equipment currently aboard the drilling units were taken into consideration to determine the feasibility of FMCD operations. This paper highlights the non-conventional considerations as well as challenges associated with this operation for the offshore drilling industry. Those challenges have also motivated technology innovation such as a reduced-friction, next-generation subsea flexible joint, which will operate equally in conventional or MPD conditions.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
In this work we present field results from a series of drilling operations where advances in sensor and control system technology enables a high degree of automated pressure control in under-balanced drilling (UBD) operations in Siberia, Russia. Traditionally this fractured carbonate field was drilled conventionally using water as drilling fluid, accepting losses after hitting the first fractures, resulting in wells with access to only two or three fractures and not reaching target depth (TD) of the productive section. For these operations a combination of Nitrified water and crude oil was used. Applying automated pressure control with UBD equipment enables drilling with a controlled draw-down from the fractures, enabling drilling of significantly longer wells, maximizing discovered fractures per well.
In this paper it will be shown how the drilling of these wells have been achieved with the combination of sensors for MPD and UBD and an automated pressure control system that keeps a constant drawdown throughout operations.
Towards sustainable water regulation based on a distributed hydrological model for a heavily polluted urban river, northwest China

Published: March 2019

Abstract
The Qinling Mountains are located in a transition zone between (semi)-arid regions in north China and humid regions in south China. The water resource and water ecology of regional rivers are strongly affected by climate change and human activity. In this paper, the stochastic simulation of river water regulation was performed and an optimal water regulation scheme of rubber dam projects was developed by establishing a multi-objective stochastic constraint water regulation model of rubber dam projects based on the coupling of a distributed hydrological model and a water balance model. Results show that a ∼40% reduction of water occurred in the lower river channel due to the operation of water supply project in the upper reach and impoundment by rubber dam projects in the lower reaches. This water reduction was associated with decreased water environment self-purification capacity and serious deterioration of water quality for smaller ecological basic flow and mean flow velocity. By establishing a multi-objective stochastic constraint programming model, the average velocity and the ecological basic flow at different adjusting heights of rubber dams are determined. The regulation scheme of rubber dam projects we propose in this paper may optimize the current river water management strategies and help to improve the river water quality environment in urban rivers.
Anaerobic stabilisation of urine diverting dehydrating toilet faeces (UDDT-F) in urban poor settlements: biochemical energy recovery
Authors: Riungu Joy , Ronteltap Mariska , van Lier Jules B. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Biochemical energy recovery using digestion and co-digestion of faecal matter collected from urine diverting dehydrating toilet faeces (UDDT-F) and mixed organic market waste (OMW) was studied under laboratory- and pilot-scale conditions. Laboratory-scale biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests showed an increase in methane production with an increase in OMW fraction in the feed substrate. In subsequent pilot-scale experiments, one-stage and two-stage plug flow digester were researched, applying UDDT-F:OMW ratios of 4:1 and 1:0, at about 10 and 12% total solids (TS) slurry concentrations. Comparable methane production was observed in one-stage (Ro-4:1,12%) (314 ± 15 mL CH4/g VS added) and two-stage (Ram-4:1,12%) (325 ± 12 mL CH4/g VS added) digesters, when applying 12% TS slurry concentration. However, biogas production in Ram-4:1,12% digester (571 ± 25 mL CH4/g VS added) was about 12% higher than in Ro-4:1,12%, significantly more than the slight difference in methane production, i.e. 3–4%. The former was attributed to enhanced waste solubilisation and increased CO2 dissolution, resulting from mixing the bicarbonate-rich methanogenic effluent for neutralisation purposes with the low pH (4.9) influent acquired from the pre-acidification stage. Moreover, higher process stability was observed in the first parts of the plug flow two-stage digester, characterised by lower VFA concentrations.
The hierarchical structure of social comfort of living
Authors: Sazhin Yuriy V. , Malysheva Oksana O. 
Published: March 2019

Purpose of the study. The purpose of the study is to develop a model of the social comfort of living in the regional hierarchical structure, which allows continuous assessment of this category by monitoring individual indicators as well as combining those with an integral statistical indicator.Materials and methods. The study utilizes a systematic method to establish a whole set of indicators that are representative enough to adequately characterize social comfort. The informational base includes monographic and scientific literature on the thesis topic, regulatory documents, publications in periodicals and the Internet, documents and materials of international organizations, official statistics of the ROSSTAT (Federal State Statistics Service), methodological provisions on statistics, information and analytical materials of research institutions, specialized reviews by various professional associations, news agencies and companies in Russia and abroad. These materials are sufficient to form an a priori set of indicators of social comfort of living.Results. The result of applying the proposed hierarchical structure is an effective statistical assessment of the social comfort of living and the empowerment of the population of the regions of Russia to increase their well-being in the long-term perspective in line with rational measures of state regulation. The research materials can be used in the development of target indicators of the strategy of socio-economic development of territories, monitoring the current situation in the field of social comfort of living.Conclusion. This article proposes an approach to the hierarchical structure of social comfort parameters, which are largely close to the index of living standards and quality of life of the population. However, this index should not be narrowed down only to the monitoring of standard socio-economic indicators. That is why we suggest that it is necessary to extend the Federal Statistical Work Plan of ROSSTAT with the list of the following indicators such as civil liberties, the ratio of work and rest time, surveys of people's satisfaction with life and basic public services which are already being developed in most developed countries, in order to address the subjective element of social comfort.
