How do we identify flash droughts? A case study in Central European Croplands
Authors: Alencar Pedro Henrique Lima , Paton Eva Nora 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Many definitions and delineation methods exist for identifying flash droughts (FDs), which are events of rapid and unusual large depletion of root-zone soil moisture, in comparison to average moisture conditions, due to climatic compound conditions over a short period of several weeks. Six FD identification methods were compared to analyse their functioning using data from several experimental cropland sites across Central Europe. Co- and misidentification of the FD time series were assessed using confusion and synchronicity metrics on a local scale. Even though a large degree of synchronicity of individual FD events was observed, some divergence in drought periods was detected, which was related to four intrinsic differences in the underlying FD definitions: (1) type of critical variable; (2) velocity of drought intensification; (3) pre-set threshold values for final depletion and/or (4) minimum length of the duration of FDs. To balance the strengths and weaknesses of those methods that are not based on soil moisture, we suggest using an ensemble approach for event identification, which is validated in this study for the temperate central European region. In doing so, the current unclearly defined sub-types of FDs can be detected, regardless of the different combinations of compound drivers and differences in intensification dynamics. All methods were implemented in an R package and are available as a Shiny app for the public.
Evaluate the effectiveness technology for the treatment of oily wastewater
Authors: Almutairi Meshari 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This work deals with the treatment of oily wastewater produced from the washing of oil-contaminated soil. Untreated oily wastewater contains toxic compounds that might be mutagenic or carcinogenic as total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) and heavy metals. Based on the water quality analysis, the tested samples contained a high concentration of TPH, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and turbidity with an average value of 67,500 mg/l, 48,240 mg/l and 176 (nephelometric turbidity unit, NTU), respectively. Several technologies were used, such as centrifuging, powdered activated carbon (PAC) and sawdust. The mean values of COD values for sawdust, centrifuging and PAC were 41,067, 25,600 and 13,133 mg/l, respectively. The present study indicated that the coagulation/flocculation processes were more efficient by using aluminium sulphate alum, while the preliminary conclusion derived was that the secondary treatment using an aeration system is capable of lowering the COD values as well as increasing the flocculent mass floc well equal to 4,784 mg/l and 0.69 g, respectively. The microbial seed was able to degrade the biosurfactant, which allows the stability of oil emulsion to be broken down and released easily.
Study on treatment of wastewater with low concentration of ammonia-nitrogen by vacuum plate membrane distillation technology
Authors: Wang Yao , Li Tianxiang , Zhu Jing 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The removal of low concentration ammonia-nitrogen in industrial wastewater is necessary before discharged into the environment. In this study, vacuum plate membrane distillation (VPMD) technology was utilized and operating parameters such as pH, feed temperature, vacuum degree, feed flow and time were investigated. Based on the experimental data, the heat and mass transfer mechanism and mathematic model were studied. The experimental results show that low solution pH was significantly beneficial to ammonia-nitrogen removal but permeate flux was nearly changeless. At pH = 4, a removal rate up to 93.33% was achieved. Ammonia-nitrogen mainly exists with NH4+ ions in acidic solution, so only water molecules pass through the membrane to acquire the water product in the permeate side. Increasing the temperature of the solution was disadvantageous to the ammonia-nitrogen removal due to membrane pores expanding and the mass transfer coefficient of NH3 molecules increasing; therefore a low temperature was chosen if possible. Because vapor pressure of the feed solution increases exponentially with temperature and results in membrane surface pressure difference increases, therefore increasing the temperature enhances the permeate flux. Raising the vacuum degree enhanced ammonia removal rate and permeate flux obviously, a vacuum degree of 0.09 MPa was chosen for the experiment. The effect of feed flow rate on ammonia-nitrogen removal instead of permeate flux is weak, the reason is that the boundary layer wears thin when the feed flow rate is increased, which is conducive to permeate flux increasing. In a two-parameter model of Knudsen diffusion, Poiseuille flow was chosen to demonstrate the heat and mass transfers in the process of VPMD in the study. Based on the experimental values of permeate flux, two parameters CK and CP in the model were calculated using a nonlinear fitting method software, which indicated that the Knudsen diffusion model more than the Poiseuille flow model was suitable. The maximum values of the relative average deviation (RAD) and root mean square difference (RMSD) of experimental and calculated values with model equations of the permeate flux at the different temperature, vacuum degree and feed flow rate were no more than 8.7% and 3.20 kg · (m2 · h)−1, respectively.

Authors: D'Amore Cassandra , Reid Julie C , Chan Matthew , Fan Samuel , Huang Amanda , Louie Jonathan , Tran Andy , Chauvin Stephanie , Beauchamp Marla K 
Published: August 2022

Background
This is a systematic review of randomized controlled trials and a meta-analysis comparing smart technology with face-to-face physical activity (PA) interventions in community-dwelling older adults (mean age 60 years).

Objective
This study aims to determine the effect of interventions including smart technology components compared with face-to-face PA interventions on PA and physical function in older adults. The secondary outcomes are depression, anxiety, and health-related quality of life.

Methods
We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and AMED electronic databases from inception to February 2021. Two independent reviewers screened titles, abstracts, and full texts and performed data extraction and risk of bias assessments using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation was used to evaluate the quality of the evidence. We provided a narrative synthesis on all included studies and, where possible, performed meta-analyses for similar outcomes.

Results
This review included 19 studies with a total of 3455 participants. Random effects meta-analyses showed that interventions with smart technology components resulted in improved step count (mean difference 1440 steps, 95% CI 500-2390) and total PA (standardized mean difference 0.17, 95% CI 0.02-0.32) compared with face-to-face alone. There was no difference between groups in terms of the measures of physical function. Smart technology alone did not show significant differences between groups in any outcome. The quality of the evidence was very low based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation criteria.

Conclusions
Interventions that include smart technology may improve daily step counts by an average of 1440 steps in community-dwelling older adults; however, the quality of the evidence was very low. Future studies are needed to improve the certainty of these results.

Increased Online Aggression During COVID-19 Lockdowns: Two-Stage Study of Deep Text Mining and Difference-in-Differences Analysis
Authors: Hsu Jerome Tze-Hou , Tsai Richard Tzong-Han 
Published: August 2022

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a critical public health crisis worldwide, and policymakers are using lockdowns to control the virus. However, there has been a noticeable increase in aggressive social behaviors that threaten social stability. Lockdown measures might negatively affect mental health and lead to an increase in aggressive emotions. Discovering the relationship between lockdown and increased aggression is crucial for formulating appropriate policies that address these adverse societal effects. We applied natural language processing (NLP) technology to internet data, so as to investigate the social and emotional impacts of lockdowns.

Objective
This research aimed to understand the relationship between lockdown and increased aggression using NLP technology to analyze the following 3 kinds of aggressive emotions: anger, offensive language, and hate speech, in spatiotemporal ranges of tweets in the United States.

Methods
We conducted a longitudinal internet study of 11,455 Twitter users by analyzing aggressive emotions in 1,281,362 tweets they posted from 2019 to 2020. We selected 3 common aggressive emotions (anger, offensive language, and hate speech) on the internet as the subject of analysis. To detect the emotions in the tweets, we trained a Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model to analyze the percentage of aggressive tweets in every state and every week. Then, we used the difference-in-differences estimation to measure the impact of lockdown status on increasing aggressive tweets. Since most other independent factors that might affect the results, such as seasonal and regional factors, have been ruled out by time and state fixed effects, a significant result in this difference-in-differences analysis can not only indicate a concrete positive correlation but also point to a causal relationship.

Results
In the first 6 months of lockdown in 2020, aggression levels in all users increased compared to the same period in 2019. Notably, users under lockdown demonstrated greater levels of aggression than those not under lockdown. Our difference-in-differences estimation discovered a statistically significant positive correlation between lockdown and increased aggression (anger: P=.002, offensive language: P<.001, hate speech: P=.005). It can be inferred from such results that there exist causal relations.

Conclusions
Understanding the relationship between lockdown and aggression can help policymakers address the personal and societal impacts of lockdown. Applying NLP technology and using big data on social media can provide crucial and timely information for this effort.

Published: August 2022

Los especialistas se han enfocado en su mayoría, en analizar los spots políticos televisados desde perspectivas cuantitativas. Por lo tanto se ha dejado un vacío en el análisis de la dimensión cualitativa de la imagen y la identidad de los actores políticos. El objetivo de este artículo es contribuir a la construcción de ese modelo teórico-metodológico ausente y realizar un análisis de la imagen política en general y del spot político en particular. La televisión, los nuevos medios electrónicos, las redes sociales, deben ser analizados a través de otras categorías con las cuales se han estudiado los medios impresos. Con esta finalidad, se propone la tipología del framing audiovisual y como instrumento de codificación una tabla en donde en cada spot el candidato es la unidad de análisis, y el framing audiovisual se describe mediante tres marcos: visual, verbal y sonoro.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence solutions are not present only in big companies, but the new trend is to start changing the accounting profession also in small and medium companies. In order to shorten the period in which they will have access to artificial intelligence solutions, the artificial intelligence needs to be offered in a more accessible form. This paper represents the first step in a more in depth research about the way available resources for an organization to implement artificial intelligence solutions in their financial departments. This decision has the potential to bring fundamental changes to accounting and auditing, and in the entire financial markets. This paper explores the potential of artificial solutions adaptation in accounting, identifying the steps already taken in this field of activity which will help them to implement further changes. We investigate mainly the organizational changes brought by cloud computing and its potential for the accounting field to adapt to further technological solutions. We assessed the cloud computing’s effect on the accounting profession, and the potential role of these professions in further implementing more intelligent solutions, as well as the main advantages and disadvantages in order to understand the reasons for high interest in migration to cloud computing, especially during the COVID-19 crisis.

Published: August 2022

В данной работе рассматриваются свойства интеграла Шоке в зависимости от монотонной меры, относительно которой производится интегрирование, а именно, от ее принадлежности к семействам монотонных мер, рассматриваемых в теории неточных вероятностей. В частности, рассматривается порождение монотонных мер с помощью интеграла Шоке, а также порождение монотонных мер на алгебре нечетких множеств. Приводится также новый подход аксиоматизации интеграла Шоке, основанного на каноническом представлении простых функций.
In the paper, we analyze how the properties of the Choquet integral depend on a monotone measure, which are used in integration, namely, based on its characterization in the theory of imprecise probabilities. In particular, using integration, we can generate monotone measures and characterize them by identifying their membership to various families of lower and upper probabilities. In addition, with the help of the Choquet integral, we generate monotone measures on the algebra of fuzzy subsets and analyze their properties. In the paper, we also present a new approach of the Choquet integral axiomatization based on the canonical representation of simple functions.

Published: August 2022

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence a person's intention to use a subscription-based streaming service application using the perspective of the inertia of piracy movie application users. This study investigates the factors that affect the inertia of movie piracy application users. The theory used is a combination of the status quo bias theory and coping theory. This research uses a quantitative approach and an online survey method for data collection. Data collection resulted in 378 responses that were subsequently analyzed using the covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) technique. It was found that inertia (the level of user inertia) negatively affects intention to use (the intention to use a subscription-based streaming service application) and convenience. In addition, convenience, perceived controllability (a person's level of control over the application), and morality positively influence intention to use. Furthermore, it was also found that perceived cost and personalization do not affect the intention to use. Inertia is also positively and significantly influenced by the transition cost (effort to move). The factors that have the highest correlation values are transition cost and inertia.

The Impact of Macroeconomic Factors on Non-performing Loans in the Western Balkans
Authors: Gashi Adelina , Tafa Saranda , Bajrami Roberta 
Published: August 2022

This paper analyzes the relationship of macroeconomic factors to the level of non-performing loans (NPLs) using the econometric models GMM, the Fixed Effect model, and the Random Effect model. This study aims to identify macroeconomic factors at the level of non-performing loans in the Western Balkans, measure their impact on non-performing loans, and thus fill the gap that exists between macroeconomic factors (consisting of economic growth) and those with more impact on NPLs. The methodology used to carry out this research was desk research. We used World Bank data from 2000–2019, processed with STATA software. Results show that macroeconomic factors have an impact on non-performing loans. It also proves that even when interacting with other variables, the level of bad debt has not been completely eliminated, despite economic growth in many countries. Third, throughout the study period, fixed effects estimates show that variables are not significant in a static context. According to the findings, the annual rates of GDP growth, final government consumption, the real interest rate, gross domestic savings, and the unemployment rate all have a favorable impact on NPLs. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between macroeconomic factors and non-performing loans in the Western Balkans. Based on this, to help reduce loan risk and bad debt by the proper criteria, we propose a series of policy implications. These implications aim to improve the efficiency of banks in particular and the banking system as a whole. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-05-08 Full Text: PDF

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a forma que os direitos emancipatórios se apresentam no Supremo Tribunal Federal através de dois estudos de casos. A construção da ideia dos direitos emancipatórios retrada neste artigo foram construídas com base na discussão teórica de Franz Neumann, uma vez que para este autor o direito no século XX , a depender do modelo de estado e do seu caráter democrático, pode fomentar mudanças na realidade social de determinada sociedade . Na segunda parte da pesquisa apresentaremos os argumentos construidos pelos Ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal à luz do debate em torno das ações ADPF 186/12 e a ADI 3239/18. Em termos gerais, ao final deste trabalho demonstratemos que o direito é um instrumento fundamental para a consolidação dos direitos fundamentais e o Supremo Tribunal Federal além de exercer um importante papel de controle constitucional , poderá também corroborar para a consolidação das politicas de cotas racais e para o reconhecimento do direito à terra das populações quilombolas.
