Runoff observation in a tropical Brantas watershed as observed from long-term globally available TerraClimate data 2001–2020
Authors: Wiwoho Bagus Setiabudi , Astuti Ike Sari 
Published: June 2022

AbstractRunoff information and its dynamics are critical for supporting watershed management; however, spatio-temporal data about runoff is rare or unavailable in data-scarce regions. Information about the performance of remote sensing-based runoff and its potential application is limitedly known. In data-scarce regions, this condition impedes comprehensive watershed assessment especially in the midst of climate change impacts. This study examined the performance of globally available monthly runoff dataset provided by TerraClimate at ~ 4 km spatial resolution and employed them to assess the runoff dynamics in a humid tropic watershed. Monthly TerraClimate data shows a moderate performance with an r of 0.63, RMSE of 57–127 mm/month and NRMSE of 18–30% to the simulated runoff from a well-calibrated model. The upper region of Brantas watershed was found to be the hotspot of high runoff. About 25% of the study area belongs to high runoff (0–33rd percentile). Over the last two decades, runoff has been slightly increased across the study area. Green vegetation fraction (GVF), precipitation, and topography are critical for regulating runoff dynamics. While topography and precipitation impact on runoff are straightforward, the GVF’s role is complex and site-specific. High runoff was found mostly to be associated with high precipitation and steep slope. GVF appears to be less effective in representing ground cover against runoff generation due to high variability of actual ground cover types. Using time-series and change vector analysis (CVA) of runoff and GVF, the dynamics of watershed condition was examined. Long-term CVA analysis also found that the condition in Brantas watershed was fluctuated with slight increase in impaired condition. The study exemplified the potential use of the remote sensing-based runoff data in a tropical data-scarce region. Despite limitation of the runoff data due to its moderate performance, the globally available monthly runoff data from TerraClimate can be used to support regional water resource assessment in data-scare regions. Future improvement that includes downscaling and use of machine learning can be considered to improve the remotely sensed runoff data to deliver the bigger benefits of such data.

AbstractThe choices of consumer towards food have been changed. Consumer prefers to eat food which is not only safe but also nutritious. Now a day, they like to eat the food which promote their health and help in minimizing nutrition related health hazards. Rice is a staple food in many countries, but most emerging issue is that rice is deficit in minerals. Rice ranks second among cereals in dietary uses around the world. Rice is deficit in iron (Fe) zinc (Zn) and these are important micronutrients for infants, men and women. Fortification of rice with iron and zinc would help to minimize nutrient deficient disorders among humans. Present study is aimed to introduce nutrients rich rice for consumers and also to encourage food-fortification organizations for diverting their focus on rice fortification. In south Asian countries, micronutrient deficiency especially Fe and Zn deficiency is very common. The rice because of its use as a staple food can be utilized as a carrier medium for transporting micronutrients from plants sources to human beings. Hence, rice fortification with microminerals can prove as a miracle for the virtual eradication of nutrition related diseases in humans.
Personality matters: exploring the relationship between personality and stress physiology in captive African lions

Published: June 2022

AbstractBackgroundConsidering animals as individuals and not as species is becoming increasingly essential to animal welfare management in captive settings. Recent studies on big cat personalities and coping strategies suggest personality can help big cats cope in their surroundings. Yet a large portion of the published literature focuses on understanding either the personality or stress physiology of big cats. Our research shows how integrating an improved understanding of the personality of big cats with stress physiology may enhance welfare, especially for endangered species like African lions. By using a wild cat personality checklist, this study compared the key personality dimensions of 22 African lions with its faecal glucocorticoids and assessed factors influencing their personality and stress physiology.ResultsWe found two reliable personality dimensions for African lions (dominance and agreeableness) and identified key factors (sex, age and location) that may influence their personality. Further, on testing if these factors influenced the stress physiology through variations in glucocorticoid levels, there was no significant difference. However, there was a strong negative association between agreeableness and glucocorticoid levels. These results suggest that the behavioural traits loading positively and higher for agreeableness are associated with lower glucocorticoid stress levels, which may assist a lion to cope with stressors in its surroundings.ConclusionsOur findings highlight this integrated approach of linking personality and stress physiology of big cats can be beneficial for caretakers. For example, during stressful veterinary procedures or in reintroduction programs, recognizing the personality of lions can help in designing or providing them with resources that will alleviate stress. Thus, there is a need for more interdisciplinary approaches that will contribute towards enhancing the individual and overall welfare of big cats.
Grafitos figurativos zoomorfos de época romana en la península ibérica
Authors: Ozcáriz-Gil Pablo 
Published: June 2022

Los grafitos realizados en época romana en la península ibérica son un interesante campo de estudio, que no ha sido abordado desde una perspectiva global. La gran mayoría de los ejemplares publicados son de tipo epigráfico, generalmente sobre cerámica de mesa. Sin embargo, existe un conjunto no desdeñable de grafitos figurativos, sobre diferentes soportes, que merece ser recogido y analizado. El objetivo de este artículo es estudiar los dibujos de tipo zoomorfo para determinar el papel que juegan los animales en estas representaciones. La base del estudio ha sido una búsqueda bibliográfica que ha recuperado 47 grafitos, más dos que permanecían inéditos hasta ahora. Las principales conclusiones obtenidas han sido las siguientes: Aparecen diseminados por ciudades de las tres provincias hispanas, destacando los conjuntos de Santa Criz, Baelo Claudia, Emerita Augusta, Italica o Tarraco. La mayoría se ha localizado en contextos domésticos y funerarios, y sólo en un caso en un edificio público. Están fechados entre los siglos I y III d. C., a excepción de algún ejemplo más tardío. El abanico de especies reconocidas es bastante amplio: caballos, jabalís, leones, bóvidos, cérvidos, cánidos, lepóridos, aves, reptiles y animales mitológicos. Sin embargo, el número más alto de zoomorfos pertenece a los no identificables, bien por su esquematismo o baja calidad del dibujo, bien por el estado fragmentado de las piezas. Al igual que ocurre en otras partes del Imperio romano, un gran porcentaje de los animales se encuentran relacionados con las carreras del circo y las uenationes. También existen notables diferencias respecto a los zoomorfos que aparecen en otras provincias. El número de aves en Hispania es inferior al de otros lugares, y sorprende la ausencia de animales marinos y otros habituales como osos, pavos reales, águilas, etc. En general, se trata de un conjunto de grafitos que se hallaba muy disperso y que, tras este trabajo, conforma una nueva fuente para el estudio de los animales y su presencia y significación en la sociedad hispana de época romana.
EVALUATION OF THE SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY OF THE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTS BASED ON THE RATING OF THE TEACHING STAFF
Authors: Koshevoy O. S. 
Published: June 2022

The scientific activity of universities is one of the most important elements of the educational environment of an educational organization, aimed primarily at providing high-quality graduate training that meets modern requirements for ensuring the fulfillment of strategic tasks of state development.
The purpose of this study was to develop a methodology for evaluating the research work of the university department that meets the general theoretical methods of its organization.
Given the structure of most universities, which is based on institutes (faculties) and departments, it is quite difficult to carry out an objective assessment of the research work of the department, since the teaching staff of the department implements tasks for teaching students in disciplines that are not directly related to the name and scientific direction of the department. The Institute of Cathedral scientific schools also does not reflect an objective assessment of the activities of the entire teaching staff, and is, as a rule, formal in nature. Based on this, the research work of the teaching staff of the departments is evaluated within the framework of a general rating assessment, which has a number of significant drawbacks, both from the point of view of objectivity and the methodology of its construction.

Comparative Analysis of Households and Digital Currencies for the US, China and Russia
Authors: Wang Guizhou , Hausken Kjell 
Published: June 2022

In a two-period decision model, a central bank chooses a CBDC (central bank digital currency) interest rate and a representative household allocates resources into production, consumption, CBDC holding, and non-CBDC holding. The model’s analytical results and a plausible benchmark are compared with the empirics for the US, China and Russia. Interesting novelties of the article are that the model predicts that the US in 2021/2022 should choose rather than 0.125% CBDC interest to combat its high October 2021 empirical inflation of 6.2%. That would induce households to hold more CBDC, hold less non-CBDC, and produce and consume less. In contrast, the model predicts that China should choose a low rather than CBDC interest rate. That would decrease each household’s CBDC holding and increase the low inflation. The model predicts that Russia should choose rather than CBDC interest rate. Russia’s strategy is remarkably consistent with the model’s predictions. The model predicts that the central bank should choose negative CBDC interest rate when the inflation and real interest rate are low, and the inflation target is high. The article shows how extremely high inflation, which increases the CBDC interest rate, makes production and consumption nearly impossible, unless the real interest rate is extremely negative.
Markov Cluster Algorithm Based Intra and Inter Cell Interference Management in 5g Wireless Mesh Networks

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Due to the decreasing distance between cells, inter and intra cell interference management become more challenging in ultra-highly dense small cell cellular networks. The main objective of our research is to manage the inter-cell and intra-cell interferences in a cellular network. Initially, the inter-cell interference is eliminated by creating an interference-weighted graph and cell clustering of cellular networks. The user clustering process is fundamental for the cell clustering process. The markov clustering algorithm (MCA) is proposed to achieve cell clustering in the cellular network. The intra-cell interference is eliminated by allocating a channel to the user based on the markov model. The channel allocation is done using the markov prediction model, which effectively predicts the best optimal channel for each user in the cells. This prediction process dramatically reduces the channel selection timing during the clustering-based interference management process. The simulation is done using the MatLab platform. The performance parameters used by our proposed method are throughput, SINR (Signal-to-Interferenceplus-Noise-Ratio), bit error rate (BER), sum rate, total energy consumption, and cumulative distribution function (CDF). The robustness and proficiency of our system are represented by comparing various existing methods like resource availability maximization function (RAmax), almost blank subframe (ABS), and channel aggregation (CA) techniques.
Synthesis and characterization of TiO2/ZnO heterostructure for UV photocatalytic degrade DOM in landfill leachate
Authors: Li Bicai , Yuan Donghai , Gao Caiyun , Zhang Hong , Li Zhicheng 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
TiO2/ZnO heterostructure photocatalysts were successfully fabricated via hydrothermal and solid-state reaction method. In TiO2/ZnO composite powder, TiO2 nanoparticles of anatase phase are well distributed on the surface and edge of ZnO with wurtzite phase structure, and closely combined to form heterostructure. The optical bandgap of TiO2/ZnO powder is less than that of pure ZnO or TiO2 powder. TiO2/ZnO composite powders show higher degradation efficiency for methylene blue and dissolved organic matter. The degradation rate of TiO2/ZnO powder for fulvic acid-like substances in landfill leachate is 2.99 times that of pure ZnO powder and 1.30 times that of pure TiO2 powder. The degradation of fulvic acid-like substances by photocatalyst causes the decrease of some high molecular weight and benzene ring structure substances in leachate. The effective separation of electron and hole by the heterostructure in TiO2/ZnO powder is the main reason for its high photocatalytic degradation efficiency of DOM in landfill leachate.
