Оценка эффективности социальной технологии с точки зрения преимуществ и затрат
Authors: Рождественская Елена , Абрамов Роман , Сабля Алексей 
Published: January 2025

Статья посвящена оценке эффективности социальных технологий. Мы фокусируем внимание на балансе затрат и преимуществ при осуществлении социальной интервенции в проблемные семьи с детьми. В практике оценки редко рассматриваются издержи реализации таких программ. Исследование основано на клиенто-­ориентированной концепции модели Шрайнера, которая включает показатели общей стоимости услуг, стоимости, преимуществ и чистой выгоды для клиента, количества клиентов, объема предоставляемых услуг и времени оказания услуги. Модифицированная версия модели, дополненная оценкой влияния качества управления на эффективность услуги, была эмпирически реализована через качественную методологию, а именно интервьюирование сотрудников семейных центров. Результаты исследования показали, что стоимость случая включает не только зарплату специалистов, но и благотворительные средства, гранты НКО, выплаты управ, частные и даже личные деньги сотрудников. Хотя услуги для клиентов бесплатны, они иногда несут небольшие личные затраты (транспорт, оформление документов и справок) и не материальные издержки (эмоции стыда и потеря репутации). Преимущества для клиента очевидны и включают профессиональную помощь команды, которая восполняет навыки и ресурсы, предоставляет консультации и помощь, улучшает эмоциональный фон семьи, способствует росту доверия, самоуважения и самоэффективности. Выявлен значительный разрыв между нормативным стандартом по количеству опекаемых детей из проблемных семей и фактически обслуживаемым количеством. Менеджериальная оценка демонстрирует необходимость выделения службы выявления новых случаев в отдельный функционал и подчеркивает амбивалентную реакцию специалистов на эту политику, рациональность которой не всегда принимается.

ABSTRACT
Detecting offshore earthquakes in real time is challenging for traditional land-based seismic networks due to insufficient station coverage. Application of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) to submarine cables has the potential to extend the reach of seismic networks and thereby improve real-time earthquake detection and earthquake early warning (EEW). We present a complete workflow of a modified point-source EEW algorithm, which includes a machine-learning-based model for P- and S-wave phase picking, a grid-search location method, and a locally calibrated empirical magnitude estimation equation. Examples are shown with offshore earthquakes from the SeaFOAM DAS project using a 52-km-long submarine cable in Monterey Bay, California, demonstrating the robustness of the proposed workflow. When comparing to the current onshore network, we can expect up to 6 s additional warning time for earthquakes in the offshore San Gregorio fault zone, representing a substantial improvement to the existing ShakeAlert EEW system.
Practical Applications of Space-Time Fractional Diffusion in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
Authors: Chen Chih , Chu Wei-Chun , Bermudez Leonardo 
Published: January 2025

Summary
This study introduces a radial space-time fractional-diffusion (ST-FD) model, now adapted for Laplace space. This model incorporates dual-porosity factors and, when applied to well tests in naturally fractured reservoirs, addresses the effects of rock heterogeneity in fractured or fissured formations by solving a multi-index ST-FD equation through the Laplace transformation. For the first time, pressure distributions in cylindrical coordinates for heterogeneous fractured rocks with space- and time-dependent properties are presented. These findings are novel and unreported in existing literature, highlighting the utility of this approach in analyzing fractured reservoirs. The method developed in this paper was applied to five example well tests from fractured carbonate fields in northern Iraq, demonstrating the practical application of this methodology.
Two key models commonly used in the industry to study naturally fractured reservoirs are the Warren and Root (1963) dual-porosity model and de Swaan (1976) model. The Warren and Root model assumes a pseudosteady-state flow between the matrix and fractures, while de Swaan’s model addresses transient flow between these components. When applied to pressure buildup (BU) responses in fractured reservoirs from northern Iraq that exhibit a power-law pattern, these traditional models could lead to misinterpretations, attributing the behavior to boundary effects such as faults.
In contrast, using the continuous time random walk framework, specifically the ST-FD model developed by Raghavan and Chen (2021 and 2023), and now modified in this paper with solutions in Laplace space, provides a more accurate interpretation of these pressure responses. The analysis of real-world data using this modified ST-FD model reveals that the power-law behavior in pressure BU responses is linked to the reservoir’s complex heterogeneity as shown in five example well tests presented here. The effectiveness of the modified ST-FD model in Laplace space is validated, offering practical insights for well testing and accurate evaluations of reservoir recovery potential. Although the system is intricate at a fine scale, the results are applicable in the conventional sense at the Theis (1935) scale. Long-range connectivity and distorted flow paths that result in pauses, flow reversals, and related phenomena are quantified through three exponents and fractional derivatives.
The findings highlight the influence of diverse heterogeneity indexes and introduce an effective workflow for interpretation and reservoir assessment. These insights significantly enhance comprehension of the reservoir’s complex heterogeneity, leading to better estimations of ultimate recovery.

Abstract

Purpose: Lactate Clearance (LC) has recently emerged as a therapeutic goal to be achieved in the first hours of septic shock’s resuscitation. In severe trauma patients, there is an urgent need to rapidly assess initial management’s quality and to diagnose occult hypoperfusion at its early stages. The aim of this study was to assess lactatemia and lactate clearance as predictors of mortality in severe trauma.
Methods: This was a retrospective, observational and analytical study. We included all adults having severe trauma and who required intensive care and who had a lactatemia measurement at admission (LH0), at the 4th hour (LH4), and the 12th hour (LH12). LC was calculated (%/h) between admission and the 4th hour (LC H0-H4), admission and the 12th hour (LC H0-H12) and the4th and the 12th hour (LC H4-H12). Our primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. To assess the association of lactatemia and LC with mortality, we analyzed the ROC curves and carried out univariate and multivariate analysis in logistic regression.
Results: A total of 318 patients were included. LC H0-H12 (AUC = 0.753) was a better parameter than LH0 (AUC = 0.735), LH4 (AUC = 0.711), LH12 (AUC = 0.643), LC H0-H4 (AUC = 0.688), LC H4-H12 (AUC = 0.667) to predict in-hospital mortality. The cut-off was -2.92% with a sensitivity = 76.1% and a specificity = 63.6%. The in-hospital mortality rate increased from 21.3% for a negative LC H0-H12 to more than 50% for positive values. LC H0-H12 also performed better than RTS (AUC=0.724), MGAP (AUC=0.735) and ISS (AUC=0.729). The addition of LC H0-H12 and LH0 to these scores improved their quality as well as that of TRISS. Likewise, LC H0-H12 was able to predict early mortality (AUC=0.798), an ISS> 15 (AUC=0.602) and hemorrhagic shock (AUC=0.647). Finally, we could develop a clinical-biological prognostic score including LC H0-H12, pH, PT, Glasgow coma scale and age.
Conclusion: LC H0-H12 measurement is a relevant tool that should be incorporated into treatment regimens as part of a "Lactate clearance goal-directed therapy” in severe trauma.
Crustal Architecture and Isostatic Support in Zagros and Central Iran: Evidence from Seismic and Gravity Analysis
Authors: Sepahvand MohammadReza , Shishebori Mohammad , Nasrabadi Afsaneh 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

This study investigates the crustal structure and lithospheric dynamics of the Zagros Mountains and Central Iran using a joint inversion of receiver functions and Rayleigh wave phase velocity dispersion for 19 seismic stations. The results reveal significant spatial variations in Moho depth and crustal thickness, reflecting the tectonic complexity of the region. Crustal thickness gradually increases from eastern Iran (∼40 km) to Central Iran (∼42 km) and reaches its maximum beneath the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone (SSZ, ∼58 km) and the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Assemblage (UDAM, ∼52 km). This thickening is attributed to the underthrusting of the Arabian Plate beneath Central Iran and crustal shortening associated with the Zagros orogeny. Low shear-wave velocities (Vs < 4.1 km/s) observed in the uppermost mantle beneath Central and Eastern Iran indicate variations in lithospheric composition and thermal structure. Correlations between crustal thickness, topography, and free-air gravity anomalies demonstrate the role of isostatic support and lithospheric flexure in shaping regional surface features. Positive gravity anomalies in the southern Zagros are linked to crustal underthrusting, while high-density rocks in the SSZ and UDAM contribute to short-wavelength gravity highs. These findings enhance our understanding of the geodynamic evolution of the Zagros and Central Iranian tectonic domains, highlighting their distinct geological histories and ongoing tectonic interactions.

Abstract

Citrus indica Tanaka, a wild and endangered citrus species native to northeastern India, has been focus of surveys aimed at determining its distribution, studying its variability, and collecting its germplasm. Indian wild orange, this species is endemic to the region and was first collected from the Citrus Gene Sanctuary, located in the buffer zone of the Nokrek Biosphere Reserve in the Garo Hills of Meghalaya and has been observed in the Naga Hills of Nagaland. Additionally, a natural hybrid of C. indica was identified and collected for the first time from the South Garo Hills. Historically, C. indica had a wider distribution, with collections made from the states of Mizoram and Meghalaya. In Meghalaya’s Jaintia Hills, the natural populations of this species are now in a highly threatened state. The species is unevenly distributed across the surveyed areas. Morphological and biochemical analysis of its leaves, fruits, and seeds revealed significant variability among the collected specimens. Local knowledge of its uses and socio-economic importance suggests that this species has commercial potential in citrus industry. However, due to the lack of cultivation and the rapid deforestation in the region, urgent complementary conservation strategies are needed to protect the species and ensure its future availability. A focus on developing methods for propagation, multiplication, and regeneration in both in situ and ex situ conditions is critical.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

This study investigates the long-term behaviour of porous asphalt (PA) that retrofitted a 36 m2 laboratory full-scale street section, focusing on filtration and clogging processes. Throughout 11 experiments with increasing accumulative sediment loads up to 5.5 kg/m2, the evolution of surface permeability, water levels inside the asphalt, water flows, turbidity, and total suspended solid (TSS) concentrations were analysed. Sediment loads, representing dry-weather build-up, were applied to the asphalt surface, followed by simulated 30-min 80 mm/h rain events. Findings revealed an average permeability reduction rate of 4,717 mm/h per kg/m2. Surface clogging appeared from a cumulative load of 4.0 kg/m2, but the asphalt effectively managed rainfall with only marginal variations in flows and water levels, except for the vicinities of gully pots. The PA demonstrated a sediment retention efficiency of 93%, showing a significant decrease in turbidity and an increase in TSS concentrations once the asphalt became clogged. Comparison with the previous work emphasized the scalability and reliability of small-scale test results for analysing permeability evolution and retention efficiency, but such tests overlook real-world heterogeneities compromising the representativeness of water and sediment fluxes. The experimental dataset provides novel and valuable data for developing models to accurately simulate permeable pavements towards better urban planning, design, and maintenance.
Assessing impacts of climate crisis on water distribution systems though service inefficiency indicator
Authors: Borzì Iolanda 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Climate change is significantly impacting water distribution systems worldwide, disrupting precipitation patterns and reducing freshwater availability. Sicily, Italy, is currently experiencing a severe water crisis due to drought and climate change, with depleted reservoirs affecting both agriculture and urban water supply. In March 2024, a state of emergency was declared, implementing water rationing for over 850,000 people across six provinces. This study focuses on Messina city's water scarcity challenges, proposing a Zonal Inefficiency Indicator (ZII) to assess the impact on the water distribution system, considering factors such as water distribution satisfaction, pressure regime issues, and network resilience. Using EPANET software, this study models various scenarios including pre-crisis conditions, current water scarcity, water rationing, and leakage reduction. Results demonstrate significant impacts of water scarcity on the network efficiency, with the ZII effectively quantifying these effects across different urban districts. While short-term water rationing shows limited improvement, leakage reduction emerges as the most effective long-term strategy for enhancing network efficiency. Conclusions recommend the prioritization of leakage detection and repair programs. These findings offer valuable insights for water managers in Messina and other regions facing similar challenges, supporting data-driven decision-making for sustainable water management in the face of climate change-induced water scarcity.

In this paper, we studied the effect of strontium doping on the structural, microstructural, dielectric, and electrical properties of Ba1-xSrxTiO3 (BSxT) ceramics prepared via the sol-gel method, with x = 0.00 to 0.15. The results obtained from the X-ray diffraction spectrum confirmed the creation of the pure perovskite structure, with the diffraction peaks of the BSxT shifting toward the bigger 2θ with increasing Sr content. Scanning electron microscopy images show that the grain size of the BSxT ceramics decreases with increasing Sr content. An increase in Sr content appears to lower the activation energy by the factor of 0.16 meV/mol% and to decrease Curie temperature by the factor of 3.34 °C/mol%. Furthermore, in case of 15 mol% of Sr addition, the dielectric constant value is increased about twice. Moreover, the relationship between grain sizes and dielectric properties was also investigated. Using the frequency measurement method (up to 2 MHz in a step of 1 kHz), we are able to determine the temperature of transition without using the conventional method.

The present experiment was conducted during January, 2022 to December, 2023 in Mulugu, Warangal and Hanmakonda districts of Telangana state, India to study on the generation of self-employment, provide supplementary income, and ensure access to protein food at a low cost. Backyard Poultry (BYP) was introduced by Krishi Vigyan Kendra Mamnoor as a livelihood initiative to improve the socio-economic conditions of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities. In 2022 and 2023, over 9,870 vaccinated Rajasri birds were distributed to 987 beneficiaries across the 11 villages under the Scheduled Caste and Tribal Sub Plan programs. Each farmer received a unit of 10 Rajasri birds, valued at ` 1000, along with supplementary medicines and vaccines. The study found that Rajasri birds attained sexual maturity at 165 days, with an average body weight of 1200–1300 g under scavenging conditions. They produced an average of 1200–1300 eggs per unit over 52 weeks, with each egg weighing 45–50 g. This generated a net average annual income of `Rs. 7,930.27 from the sale of eggs and male birds through Backyard Poultry. There was also a notable increase in egg and meat consumption among SC/ST families. On average, each unit of Backyard Poultry produced 933 eggs annually. The per capita egg consumption in the villages increased effectively along with supplementary income, chicken meat, and eggs as well as poultry manure for enhancing soil fertility.

A study was conducted during October, 2022 to June, 2023 at National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, Haryana, India to evaluate the thermal performance and melting behaviour and the effect of different container materials on energy storage efficiency of phase change materials (PCMs). Paraffin wax, Beeswax and Palm oil was selected for this study and for the container material stainless steel (SS) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was selected. The results indicated that PET containers, although slower to heat (100 min), provide a prolonged cooling period (240 min), making them ideal for applications that require delayed heat release. Among the PCMs, Paraffin wax, with a melting temperature of 59.3°C and a melting time of 36 min, was found to be the most suitable for solar thermal applications. Beeswax, while viable, had a higher melting temperature (68.1°C) and a longer melting time (48 min). Palm oil, with a melting temperature of 43°C, was deemed unsuitable. Image analysis confirmed these findings, showing that palm oil had the highest reduction rate in area and perimeter, while all three PCMs displayed favourable roundness values. Based on the results, Paraffin wax in PET containers was identified as the optimal combination for efficient solar energy storage.

Published: January 2025

The experiment was conducted in 2022 (July to December) at J.N.K.V.V., Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India to explore the efficacy of new combo agrochemicals against soil borne phytopathogenic fungi,i.e. Rhizoctonia solani and Macrophomina phaseolina. The pathogens were isolated from infected soybean plants and identified based on cultural and morphological characteristics. Five combo fungicides/ agrochemicals were tested based on their active ingredients at 50 and 100 ppm in four replications. The mycelial development of R. solani was significantly inhibited by penflufen 13.28%+trifloxystrobin 13.28% FS (100%) and thiophanate methyl 45%+pyraclostrobin 5% FS (100%), carboxin 37.5%+thiram 37.5% DS (88.33%) and carbendazim 12%+mancozeb 63% WP (80.55%) at 100 ppm. Whereas mycelial development of M. phaseolina was entirely inhibited by penflufen13.28%+trifloxystrobin 13.28% FS, thiophanate methyl 45%+pyraclostrobin 5% FS and carboxin 37.5%+thiram 37.5% DS at 100 ppm. Penflufen 13.28%+trifloxystrobin 13.28% FS completely checked both pathogen’s mycelial development even at 50 ppm. The significant lowest growth inhibition of R. solani (45.83%) and M. phaseolina (50.27%) was recorded by azoxystrobin 2.5%+thiophanate methyl 11.25%+thiamethoxam 25% FS at 50 ppm. Efficient combo fungicides in the present investigation could be tested against other fungal pathogens and applied as a seed treatment to reduce the fungal infection in the early stages of crops.
prática teológica humanizadora
Authors: Serrato Andreia Cristina , Rodrigues de Morais Jonh Anderson 
Published: January 2025

A Laudato Si nos faz perceber que “não podemos deixar de reconhecer que uma verdadeira abordagem ecológica sempre se torna uma abordagem social” que deve integrar a justiça nos debates sobre o meio ambiente, para ouvir tanto o clamor da terra como o clamor dos pobres (LS, n. 49). O artigo científico tem como objetivo apresentar a prática teológica humanizadora desenvolvida por Comblin e Simone Weil, contemplando ainda a encíclica “Laudato Si” do Papa Francisco em confronto com os estudos de ambos os autores, tendo em vista, a fé Trinitária. A metodologia empregada para a pesquisa foi de cunho bibliográfico através dos textos e documentos referentes ao tema desenvolvido. Os resultados foram que, em meio a tantas adversidades, Weil foi ousada na proposta para a renovação da Igreja no meio dos trabalhadores. Comblin com uma educação encarnada no meio rural procurou personificar a vida de Jesus na dinâmica do Reino, de certa forma, antecipando a prática almejada para toda Igreja no pontificado atual. Tanto em José Comblin, quanto em Simone Weil, foi possível subtrair um ensinamento da necessidade de preocupação com a prática humanizadora, ou seja, é preciso envolver-se e deixar-se compenetrar na revelação cristã, abrindo-se completamente a graça tendo em vista uma salvação terrena, como sinal de outra salvação definitiva.
