Stepped spillway design for energy dissipation
Authors: Ikinciogullari Erdinc 
Published: January 2023

AbstractImportant water structures known as stepped spillways are used to dissipate energy, aerate rivers, and reduce the cost of the downstream pool. The aim of this study is to increase the energy dissipation rate by proposing an alternative design to the flat stepped spillways, which are frequently used in practice. For that reason, the Circular Stepped Spillway (CSS) has been constructed and numerically investigated in this paper. The energy dissipation rate of the CSS and the flat stepped spillway has been compared using three different models and discharges. According to the simulation findings, the CSS performs better as the step radius gets smaller. The CSS models with step depths of 0.50, 1.50, and 2.50 cm have dissipated up to 21.4, 38, and 50.7% more energy than the flat stepped spillway, respectively.

Abstract
Instrumentation, automation and control in municipal wastewater treatment can result in large resource, cost and energy savings. Feedforward and feedback control algorithms were implemented together with turbidity and phosphorus analysers to control the chemical dose at the tertiary stage of the Nenäinniemi wastewater treatment plant, consisting of coagulation, flocculation and microsieve filtration. This optimization lowered the coagulant dose by 70% and the polymer dose by 36% compared to manual adjustments of the chemical dosing. Effluent total phosphorus (TP) and total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations were lowered by 20–30%. With the control system in operation, the annual savings in coagulant and polymer were in the range of 100 and 1.4 tons, respectively. Conducting automated CIP on the media at an economical break-even interval of approximately 20 days was also important to further lower energy usage and operational costs.

Published: January 2023

Background
The number of new HIV diagnoses in the United States continues to slowly decline; yet, transgender women and men who have sex with men remain disproportionately affected. Key to improving the quality of prevention services are providers who are comfortable broaching the subjects of sexual health and HIV prevention with people across the spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations. Preservice training is a critical point to establish HIV prevention and sexual health education practices before providers’ practice habits are established.

Objective
The study aimed to develop participative web-based educational modules and test their impact on HIV prevention knowledge and awareness in future providers.

Methods
Sexual health providers at an academic hospital, research clinicians, community engagement professionals, and New York City community members were consulted to develop 7 web-based educational modules, which were then piloted among medical students. We assessed knowledge of HIV and sexually transmitted infection prevention and comfort assessing the prevention needs of various patients via web-based questionnaires administered before and after our educational intervention. We conducted exploratory factor analysis of the items in the questionnaire.

Results
Pre- and postmodule surveys were completed by 125 students and 89 students, respectively, from all 4 years of training. Before the intervention, the majority of students had heard of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (122/123, 99.2%) and postexposure prophylaxis (114/123, 92.7%). Before the training, 30.9% (38/123) of the students agreed that they could confidently identify a patient who is a candidate for pre-exposure prophylaxis or postexposure prophylaxis; this increased to 91% (81/89) after the intervention.

Conclusions
Our findings highlight a need for increased HIV and sexually transmitted infection prevention training in medical school curricula to enable future providers to identify and care for diverse at-risk populations. Participative web-based modules offer an effective way to teach these concepts.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Wellness Program for Latine Adults Who Smoke and Have Psychological Distress: Protocol for a Feasibility Study
Authors: Correa-Fernández Virmarie , Blalock Janice A , Piper Megan E , Canino Glorisa , Wetter David W 
Published: January 2023

Background
Tobacco smoking is a major independent risk factor for chronic disease, and the prevalence of smoking among people with behavioral health disorders is 2-fold in comparison with the general population. Smoking rates remain high for various subgroups within the Latine community, the largest ethnic minority group in the United States. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a theoretically sound and clinically validated therapeutic approach for several behavioral health conditions with growing evidence of its effectiveness for smoking cessation. Unfortunately, the evidence of ACT effectiveness for smoking cessation among Latine individuals is scarce, and none of the existing studies have tested a culturally targeted intervention for this population.

Objective
This study aims to address the co-occurrence of smoking and mood-related challenges among Latine adults via the development and testing of a culturally tailored ACT-based wellness program: Project PRESENT.

Methods
This study entails 2 phases. Phase 1 consists of the intervention development. Phase 2 entails the pilot testing of the behavioral intervention along with the administration of baseline and follow-up measures to 38 participants. Primary outcomes include feasibility of recruitment and retention, and treatment acceptability. Secondary outcomes are smoking status and depression and anxiety scores at end of treatment and 1-month follow-up.

Results
This study received institutional review board approval. Phase 1 outputs were the health counselors’ treatment manual and participant guide. Recruitment was completed in 2021. Phase 2 outcomes will be determined after project implementation and data analyses are complete, which are expected by May 2023.

Conclusions
Findings from this study will determine the feasibility and acceptability of an ACT-based, culturally relevant intervention for Latine adults who smoke and have probable depression and/or anxiety. We expect feasibility of recruitment, retention and treatment acceptability, and reductions in smoking status, depression, and anxiety. If feasible and acceptable, the study will inform large-scale trials, which will ultimately contribute to narrowing the gap between research and clinical practice for the co-occurrence of smoking and psychological distress among Latine adults.

Introduction. In Eurasia’s history and archeology, the issues of origins, inhabited territories, and political history of Sauromato-Sarmatian tribes remain understudied. Archaeological data are supplemented with messages on Sauromato-Sarmatian tribes contained in works of ancient writers, since no written sources have been found in monuments of those tribes proper. Goals. The study aims to analyze historical sources and archaeological data, examine the history of origins of Sauromato-Sarmatian tribes to have inhabited the Southern Uralsin the Iron Age,and focuses on swords from Sauromato-Sarmatian monuments of Western Kazakhstan. Materials. Swords and daggers that constitute the bulk of finds from burials provide valuable information for determining chronologies of burial grounds or certain burials and identifying areas once inhabitedby the nomadic tribes,with regional features of those tribes be duly distinguished. A. Melyukova, K. Smirnov, A. Khazanov, E. Chernenko, A. Simonenko, P. Shulga, V. Kocheev and other researchers have developed a chronological typology for swords and daggers from monuments of nomadic tribes of the Northern Black Sea, the North Caucasus, and other regions. However, Sauromato-Sarmatian weapons from Western Kazakhstan have remained unstudied without any chronological typology developed. So, the work employs experiences of the above-mentioned researchers and systematizes the available and newlyobtained data to develop a typological classification and chronology of swords from Sauromato-Sarmatian burial grounds excavated in the territory of Western Kazakhstan. Results. The paper notes that the Sauromato-Sarmatians descend from Bronze Age populations to have created the Andronovo and Srubnaya cultures, and had a close relationship with the Saka tribes. It is deemed that Sarmatian tribes were formed on the basis of Sauromatians, i.e. those had had common roots. Furthermore, insights into archaeological data conclude the tribes had lived in the territory of Western Kazakhstan, yield a typological classification of swords discovered in mounds across the region, and result in a scientific analysis. The work attempts a statistical analysis of swords and daggers from Sauromato-Sarmatian mounds of Western Kazakhstan, provides scientific conclusions as to predominant types of weapons and manufacturing technologies. The article also highlights some specific features of sword types identified, areas of distribution, and performs a comparative analysis.

Introduction. The article deals with the issue of Christian communities of different denominations to have resided in the city of Majar, the latter localized around Majar hillfort on the Kuma riverside. Christian cult objects have been discovered in the commercial and crafts quarter of the hillfort. Archaeological and written sources make it possible to identify certain groups of Christians — Orthodox, Catholic, and Gregorian (Armenian) ones — within the city’s population. Goals. The study aims to summarize data on Christians in Majar. Nowadays, there is archaeological evidence confirming Majar had been also inhabited by ethnic Russians and Armenians. Materials and methods. The work analyzes the First Sophia Chronicle, sources on Latin missionary activity in the Golden Horde published by Ph. Bruun, A. Malyshev, and R. Hautala, a 1774 map of the Caucasus compiled by Georg Treitel, and archaeological materials. The study employs a number of research methods, such as the historical/systemic, historical/comparative, and cartographic ones. Results. The year 1245 had witnessed earliest contacts between the papacy and the Mongol Empire. In 1260, relations between the Golden Horde and the Byzantine Empire were set up. And in 1267, Metropolitan Kirill II of Kiev received a jarlig from Khan Mengu-Timur. Rulers of the Golden Horde were seeking to achieve various domestic and foreign policy goals through the agenda of religious tolerance. Franciscan missions, parishes of the Alan Metropolitanate, Diocese of Sarai, and the Armenian Church were functioning across the early 14th-century North Caucasus. Some 16th–18th century written sources attest to the presence of a Christian temple within the hillfort of Majar. Materials published by Ph. Bruun, A. Malyshev, and R. Hautala provide evidence Majar and its neighborhood used to host several Franciscan missions throughout the 14th century. Christian cult objects (encolpion cross, copper icon) discovered in the territory of Majar’s trade and crafts quarter testify to that Orthodox Christians had also lived there and had a temple of their own. The Armenian cross-stone (khachkar) which had been part of a church and found at the ancient site suggests there may have been an Armenian community and an Armenian temple too. Conclusions. The available evidence of the presence of different Christian denominations in Majar insufficiently reveals their role in the city’s life. And it gets urgent to localize the Christian quarter at the ancient site of Majar. So, the search for archival materials and archaeological explorations of the site should be continued.
Evaluating CCS readiness in India: CO2 storage potential, source-sink mapping and policy outlook
Authors: Verma Yashvardhan , Vishal Vikram 
Published: January 2023

The Government of India announced its commitment to reach net-zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2070 at the recent COP 26 summit. Modeling
projections suggest that meeting this target would likely require
substantial amounts of CO capture and storage (CCS)
from large-point sources (LPS). Our analysis first reveals the key
co-benefits for India in the adoption of CCS, viz. energy security,
lower aggregate costs of carbon mitigation, higher resilience and lower
stranded assets. For instance, we estimate that stranding of
>100 GW and >70 GW of coal- and gas-fired
power capacity could be avoided with the presence of CCS in the power
sector mix.
This analysis is further supplemented by our recent estimates on
CO storage potential estimates in Indian geologic
formations. Our results indicate that the storage capacity via enhanced
oil recovery (EOR) is 1.2 GtCO after incorporating
engineering and geologic constraints. Similarly, the storage capacity in
unminable coal fields is estimated to be 3.5-6.3 GtCO.
Even though the combined storage potential in these formations is
constrained, they should be actively considered within policy-making as
they predominantly lie within areas of dense areas of LPS, thus creating
possibilities of CCS hubs and clusters. In addition, 291
GtCO could be sequestered in saline aquifers and 97-316
GtCO in basalts; though, these values are subject to
higher uncertainties. A number of saline aquifers may be characterized
as having storage potential equivalent to several years of LPS emissions
(>10 GtCO) along with high storage
feasibility.
Our ongoing analysis attempts a more evolved approach towards
source-sink mapping in India by combining the storage potential
estimates with geospatial layers of LPS. Large power plants, which emit
>20 MtCO annually, and high-purity
CO sources such as refineries, are of particular
interest. Preliminary source-sink mapping results show substantial
clustering opportunities in eastern India, which has active coalbed
methane extraction undertaken by five companies, and western India, with
large industrial sources interspersed with EOR sites. The results of
this analysis will also inform decision-makers on future LPS siting
opportunities if a policy thrust on CCS is undertaken for meeting
net-zero targets over the next two decades.

Authors: Price Julia , Lewis Amanda M. , Pierce Jessica S. , Enlow Paul T. , Okonak Katherine , Kazak Anne E. 
Published: January 2023

Background
Few studies have examined the implementation of the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) Clinical Practice Consensus Guidelines for the Psychological Care of Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes.

Objective
To collect benchmark data on psychosocial staffing and implementation of the ISPAD guidelines across U.S. pediatric diabetes clinics.

Methods
Medical (n = 95; 77 endocrinologists and 18 advance practice providers) and psychosocial (n = 86; 43 social workers and 43 psychologists) providers from 98 of 115 contacted clinics completed an online survey (85% response rate). Providers reported the number of psychosocial staff and rated the adequacy of psychosocial staffing, quality of psychosocial care, and adherence to the ISPAD guidelines in their clinics. χ2 Tests and ANOVA were used to examine differences across clinic size and across medical and psychosocial providers.

Results
Clinics averaged a total of ∼4 hours per week of psychosocial provider time per 100 patients with type 1 diabetes. Only 27% of providers agreed that psychosocial staffing was adequate, and 35% described their psychosocial care as comprehensive. Implementation of the ISPAD guidelines varied across clinics, with minimal differences across clinic size. Medical providers reported that evidence-based psychological assessment and interventions were delivered consistently by &lt;55% of clinics. Psychosocial, compared with medical, providers were more likely to report frequent implementation of psychosocial assessment and intervention guidelines.

Conclusion
Psychological care in U.S. pediatric type 1 diabetes clinics does not consistently meet the ISPAD guidelines, and many clinics lack adequate psychosocial staff. These benchmark data are a foundational step to improve psychosocial care for pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
There are considerable obstacles in the transport sector of developing countries, including poor road conditions, poor road maintenance and congestion. The dire impacts of these challenges could be extremely damaging to both human lives and the economies of the countries involved. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) integrate modern technologies into existing transportation systems to monitor traffic. Adopting Vehicular Adhoc Network (VANET) into the road transport system is one of the most ITS developments demonstrating its benefits in reducing incidents, traffic congestion, fuel consumption, waiting times and pollution. However, this type of network is vulnerable to many problems that can affect the availability of services. This article uses a Fuzzy Bayesian approach that combines Bayesian Networks (BN) and Fuzzy Logic (FL) for predicting the risks affecting the quality of service in VANET. The implementation of this model can be used for different types of predictions in the networking field and other research areas.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The research examines the accuracy of current solution models for the Arabic text sentiment classification, including traditional machine learning and deep learning algorithms. The main aim is to detect the opinion and emotion expressed in Telecom companies’ customers tweets. Three supervised machine learning algorithms, Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF), and one deep learning algorithm, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) were applied to classify the sentiment of 1098 unique Arabic textual tweets. The research results show that deep learning CNN using Word Embedding achieved higher performance in terms of accuracy with F1 score = 0.81. Furthermore, in the aspect classification task, the results reveal that applying Part of Speech (POS) features with deep learning CNN algorithm was efficient and reached 75 % accuracy using a dataset consisting of 1277 tweets. Additionally, in this study, we added an additional task of extracting the geographical location information from the tweet content. The location detection model achieved the following precision values: 0.6 and 0.89 for both Point of Interest (POI) and city (CIT).
