Derivation of Optimal Two Dimensional Rule Curve for Dualistic Reservoir Water-Supply System
Authors: Khalaf Nasser , Shareef Thair , Al-Mukhtar Mustafa 
Published: August 2023

In arid and semi-arid regions particularly vulnerable to climate change, optimizing the long-term operation of multi-purpose reservoirs is paramount. This study derived an optimum two-dimensional rule curve to jointly operate the parallel reservoirs of Mosul and Dukan, Northern Iraq. A hybridized optimization technique combining conventional dynamic programming with the shuffled complex evolution algorithm (SCE-UA) was developed to solve this problem. The results showed that the proportion of normal water supply areas increased from the beginning of the flood season (October) to its highest levels in April (58.77% of the total water supply area). The proportion decreased to its lowest in September (25.04% of the total water supply area). The newly derived 2D rule cure was compared with the current operation policy and was found to optimize the amount of water shortage by 21.1% during the operational period. It also reduced the shortage period and avoided catastrophic water shortages during droughts. In addition, the developed model optimized the amounts of water more than the joint water requirements, suffering from a significant deficit in meeting the demand during some months of the operational years. As a result, the storage in each reservoir was improved and thence can be adapted to face water shortages during future climate changes. This study proved the new hybridized model's applicability and can serve as a tool for sustainable water management. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-07-016 Full Text: PDF

Published: August 2023

Environmental concerns have prompted researchers to focus on the development of alternative building materials like geopolymer concrete. However, their implementation requires curing beyond 60°C, which limits their application on building sites. This study aims to design a geopolymer concrete at room temperature (30 ± 5°C) in a laboratory in Burkina Faso using a metakaolin-based geopolymer binder activated by an alkaline solution of NaOH and natural aggregates. Portland cement type CEM I 42.5 was used by mass substitution (0 to 25%) of metakaolin to promote curing at ambient temperature. The samples were cured for 7 to 28 days and characterized for physical, mechanical, and durability properties. The results showed that the incorporation of 0 to 20% cement significantly improved the compressive strength from 9.9 to 30.5 MPa and the tensile strength from 1.2 to 2.2 MPa. However, Portland cement has various effects on the durability of geopolymer concrete. It reduces the porosity accessible by water from 15 to 13% and decreases the resistance to acid attack by increasing the mass loss from 2 to 7%. This confirms that common concrete types C20/25 or C25/30 can be casted using geopolymer concrete on the sites in Burkina Faso once their durability is confirmed.

Génesis y construcción del kirchnerismo cordobés (2002-2005)
Authors: Tcach Iván 
Published: August 2023

El presente trabajo está centrado en analizar los orígenes del kirchnerismo en la provincia de Córdoba y se ciñe temporalmente alperíodo 2002 - 2005: el análisis se remonta tanto a la época de la campaña electoral como a los primeros años de Néstor Kirchner alfrente del Ejecutivo nacional. En función de este objetivo, se ofrece una reconstrucción histórica y politológica de los criterios de construcción política desarrollados por el kirchnerismo, tomando en consideración cuatro dimensiones de análisis: el tipo de redes políticas y personales de apoyo; la relaciones de intercambio con el oficialismo provincial liderado por José Manuel de la Sota; el tipo de vínculos establecidos con el nobel Partido Nuevo, orientado por Luis Juez y la posibilidad de impulsar una línea política propia de extracción peronista en Córdoba. Con el objeto de enriquecer el análisis hemos consultado el acervo documental disponible como entrevistas a protagonistas del período. En definitiva, el siguiente análisis puede ser de utilidad para plantearse los siguientes interrogantes: ¿Cuáles fueron los objetivos centrales del Ejecutivo nacional en relación a su irrupción política en la provincia a partir del año 2003? Y por consiguiente; ¿Cuál fue la estrategia política del Ejecutivo nacional que primó en Córdoba? ¿Qué tipo de vínculos se establecieron entre el espacio político del presidente y los líderes provinciales?

M-band discrete wavelet transform–based deep learning algorithm for identifying thermokarst lakes in the QinghaiTibetan Plateau
Authors: Li Andrew , Liu Jiahe , Liu Olivia , Wang Xiaodi 
Published: August 2023

Thermokarst lakes serve as key signs of permafrost thaw, and as point sources of CH4 in the present and near future. However, detailed information on the distribution of thermokarst lakes remains sparse across the entire permafrost region on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP). In this research, we developed a new discrete wavelet transform (DWT)–based dual-input deep learning (DL) model using a convolutional neural network (CNN) framework to automatically classify and accurately predict thermokarst lakes. We created a new 3-way tensor dataset based on raw image data from more than 500 Sentinel-2 satellite lake images and decomposed those images using state-of-the-art M-band DWTs. We also incorporated non-image feature data for various climate variables. The special data treatment adds additional features and improves validation accuracy by up to 17%. As our data pre-processing does not require any manual polygon tracing, our method is more robust and can be upscaled easily without having to collect field data.
Moving On Gracefully: Navigating a New Relationship After Romantic Rejection
Authors: Qin Dongming , Wang Xin , Qin Jingmin , Zou Zhiling 
Published: August 2023

Previous research has shown inconsistent findings on individuals’ behavior towards new others after rejection. The present study aimed to examine individuals’ behavior toward a new dating partner following romantic rejection. Participants were randomly assigned to either romantic rejection or control condition. Then they completed a Tangram Help/Hurt Task with a new dating partner with high or low possibility of acceptance (PA). Results revealed that individuals expressed significant prosocial behavior toward their new dating partner following romantic rejection, rather than displaying aggressive behavior. Furthermore, rejectees displayed more prosocial behavior toward a new dating partner with high PA than those with low PA. These findings support the social reconnection hypothesis in a romantic context and provide insight into initiating new romantic relationships.
The Contradictory Emotions of Gendered Labor
Authors: Zou Xiang 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This article examines family care for sick older people in a rural hospital in Guangdong Province. Drawing on six months of fieldwork, I show how local families divide the duty of care for the elderly, and how care is perceived in local discourse. Specific attention is paid to competing notions of care and how their meanings are negotiated: neighbors and even family members often show themselves to be indifferent to elder care, and care work is feminized and devalued. At the same time, family members and daughters in particular have to shoulder duties of care. The contradictory emotions of gendered care work offer a vantage point to understand the changing dynamics of patriarchy, marketization, and state paternalism in China today.
Evil, Cosmological Capture, and Magical Disorder in Cyprus
Authors: Kyriakides Theodoros 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The magical idiom of evil occupies an important position in numerous Christian societies. Cosmological capture refers to a historicized process through which Christian narratives and institutions attempt to integrate evil into dualist and oppositional cosmological schemas. This article begins by addressing the way that biblical stories of defeated magicians contribute to modern dynamics of cosmological capture. It then proceeds to address the role of evil in Cypriot society through narratives and descriptions of everyday rituals and events. As these narratives and rituals show, capture remains incomplete, and as evil extends beyond the limits of dualist categorization, the result is a situation of ‘magical disorder’: a cosmological arrangement in which evil manifests as an indifferent and inhuman force, which nevertheless conditions everyday experience and social relations.
Hatred Is Not Stronger Than Bonds
Authors: Belleau Jean-Philippe 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
One of the most disturbing phenomena during episodes of mass violence concerns individuals who hated a specific group and harmed some of its members while making exceptions for people they had a relationship with. A preexisting social tie, not moral consciousness, produces this aversion to harming a party to the relationship, even if rescuing vulnerable individuals contradicts personal beliefs, orders, or group loyalty. Hatred is stronger than bonds only when the latter are weak, fraught, or missing in the first place. I call this phenomenon relational exceptionalism. Bringing the anthropological literature on interpersonal relationships to bear on studies of mass violence, this article illustrates that to trigger relational exceptionalism, a relationship requires not reciprocity, trust, obligations, affinities, or nearness, but a degree of autonomy.
Determinants of epileptogenic zone identification and seizure outcome in children with refractory epilepsy undergoing stereoelectroencephalography
Authors: Hsieh Jason K. , Sundar Swetha J. , Lu Elaine , Desai Ansh , Gupta Ajay , Moosa Ahsan N. , Bingaman William , Jehi Lara , Bulacio Juan 
Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this paper was to investigate the factors associated with successful epileptogenic zone (EZ) identification and postsurgical seizure freedom in pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who underwent first-time stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG).

METHODS
The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study of all consecutive patients younger than 18 years of age at the time of recommendation for invasive evaluation with SEEG who were treated from July 2009 to June 2020. The authors excluded patients who had undergone failed prior resective epilepsy surgery or prior intracranial electrode evaluation for seizure localization. For their primary outcome, the authors evaluated the relationship between clinical and radiographic factors and successful identification of a putative EZ. For their secondary outcome, the authors investigated whether these factors had a significant relationship with seizure freedom (according to the Engel classification) at last follow-up.

RESULTS
The authors included 101 patients in this study. SEEG was safe, with no major morbidity or mortality experienced. The population was complex, with an MRI lesion present in less than 40% of patients and patients as young as 2.9 years included. A proposed EZ was identified in 88 (87%) patients. Patients with an older onset of epilepsy (OR 1.20/year, p = 0.04) or epilepsy etiology suspected to be due to a developmental lesion (OR 8.38, p = 0.02) were more likely to have proposed EZ identification. Patients with a preimplantation bilateral seizure-onset hypothesis (OR 0.29, p = 0.047) and those who underwent longer periods of monitoring (OR 0.86/day, p = 0.006) were somewhat less likely to have proposed EZ identification. The presence of an MRI lesion was a positive factor on secondary analyses (OR 4.18, p = 0.049; 1-tailed test). Fifty percent of patients who underwent surgical treatment with resection or laser ablation achieved Engel class I outcomes, in contrast to 0% of patients who underwent neuromodulation. Patients with a preimplantation hypothesis in the frontal/parietal lobes had increased odds of seizure freedom compared with patients with a hypothesis in other locations (OR 3.64, p = 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS
Pediatric SEEG is safe and often identifies a proposed resectable EZ. These results suggest that SEEG is effective in patients with frontal/parietal preimplantation hypothesis, with or without identified lesions on MRI.

OBJECTIVE
Socioeconomic status (SES) is known to affect presentations and outcomes in pituitary neuroendocrine tumor resections, but there is a paucity of literature examining its impact specifically on patients with prolactinomas, who may be treated medically or surgically. The authors sought to determine whether SES was associated with differences in treatment choice or outcomes for prolactinoma patients.

METHODS
The authors retrospectively reviewed patient records at a high-volume academic pituitary center for prolactinoma diagnoses. Patients were split into medically and surgically treated cohorts. Race, ethnicity, insurance status, primary care physician (PCP) status, and zip code–based income data were collected and examined as socioeconomic covariates. Outcomes of interest included pretreatment likelihood of surgical cure, medical versus surgical treatment allocation, and posttreatment remission rates.

RESULTS
The authors analyzed 568 prolactinoma patients (351 medically treated and 217 surgically treated). Patients receiving surgery were more likely to have Medicaid or private insurance (p < 0.001) and have lower incomes (p < 0.001) than medically treated patients. Lower-income surgical patients were more likely to require surgical intervention for an indication such as tumor decompression than higher-income patients (p = 0.023). Surgical patients with a PCP had a higher estimated likelihood of surgical cure (p = 0.008), while no SES-based differences in surgical remission likelihood existed in the medical cohort. After surgery, surgical patients who achieved remission had significantly higher income than those who did not (p < 0.001). Other SES factors were not associated with surgical remission, and among medically treated patients, remission rates were not affected by any SES factor. Income was inversely related to prolactinoma size in both cohorts (surgical, p < 0.001; medical, p = 0.005) but was associated more prominently in surgical patients (surgical, −0.65 mm per $10,000; medical, −0.37 mm per $10,000).

CONCLUSIONS
While surgical prolactinoma patients were prone to income and PCP-related disparities, no SES disparities were found among medically treated patients. Income had a more pronounced association with tumor size in the surgical cohort and likely contributed to the increased need for surgical intervention seen in low-income surgical patients. Addressing socioeconomic healthcare disparities is needed among surgical prolactinoma patients to increase rates of early presentation and improve the outcomes of low-SES populations.
