Web-based platform to collect, share and manage technical data of historical systemic architectures: the Telegraphic Towers along the Madrid-Valencia path

Considering the variety of architectural Cultural Heritage typologies, systemic architectures require specific attention in the recovery process. The dimensions of "extension" and "recurrence" at geographic and technological levels affect the complexity of their knowledge process; they require systematic ways for their categorisation and comprehension to guarantee correct diagnosis and suitable rehabilitation. Recent applications involving Internet of Things (IoT) for the built Cultural Heritage have demonstrated the potentialities of three-dimensional (3D) geographic information system (GIS) models and structured databases in supporting complex degrees of knowledge for technicians, as well as management for administrators. Starting from such experiences, the work presents the setting up of a web-based platform to support the knowledge and management of systemic architectures, considering the geographical distribution of fabrics, natural and anthropic boundary conditions, and technical and administrative details. The platform takes advantage of digital models, machine and deep learning procedures and relational databases, in a GIS-based environment, for the recognition and categorisation of prevalent physical and qualitative features of systemic architectures, the recognition and qualification of dominant and recurrent decays and the management of recovery activities in a semi-automatic way. Specifically, the main digital objects used for testing the applied techniques and setting up the platform are based on Red-Green-Blue (RGB) and mapped point clouds of the historical Telegraphic Towers located along the Madrid-Valencia path, resulting from the on-site investigations. Their choice is motivated by the high level of knowledge about the cases reached in the last years by the authors, allowing them to test rules within the decision support systems and innovative techniques for their decay mapping. As the experience has demonstrated, the systematisation of technical details and operative pipeline of methods and tools allow the normalisation and standardisation of the intervention selection process; this offers policymakers an innovative tool based on traditional procedures for conservation plans, coherent with a priority-based practice.

The impact of climate and land use changes on nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in the Luhun Lake Basin, China

Introduction: Water is an important ecological factor, and non-point source pollution (NPSP) seriously affects water security. In recent years, NPSP has affected water security and human survival in China.Methods: The Luhun Lake Basin has been selected as an example region of Yellow River Basin (YRB) in China, and the trends and impacts of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) has been quantitatively evaluated by using geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing (RS) and InVEST model.Results: The results show that (1) the arable land and water bodies decreased, while forest land, grass land, construction land and unutilized land increased in the 20 years. The average annual precipitation increased from the northeast to the southwest in the 20 years; (2) the N and P exports first increased in 2000–2010 and then decreased in 2010–2020, and finally increased in 2000–2020; (3) with the increase of precipitation, the N and P exports decreased in 2000–2010, 2010–2020 and 2000–2020; (4) the amount of N and P exports on arable land and construction land were more than that on the other land use types. The N and P exports on each land use type all first increased and then decreased, and the overall change trend all increased in 2000–2020.Discussion: This study demonstrates how geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing (RS) and InVEST model can be used to assess nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in data scarce regions.

Automated Correction of GIS Data for Loads and Distributed Energy Resources in Secondary Distribution Networks

Currently, utilities are making significant efforts to correct their secondary models in geographic information systems (GISs) to capture the distribution system performance due to the increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as renewable energy resources, distributed energy storage, and electric vehicles (EVs). However, their databases are often not reliable in terms of GIS coordinates of elements such as loads and DERs resulting in an approximate representation of the secondary distribution network. This paper presents an automated tool for accurate secondary network topology GIS coordinates correction. The proposed automated tool provides a more accurate feeder topology for utilities to estimate and operate distribution systems by assigning the load and DER nodes to their corresponding customer location. To simplify the complexity of the proposed new tool, only two commonly available inputs are being used as input data: municipal parcel GIS delimitation data, and utility secondary feeder topology database. A three-stage framework is proposed to develop the automated tool: the first stage reads and processes the raw input data; the second stage works automatically with no human intervention to assign the load and DER nodes to their associated location; the third stage provides the load and DER coordinates and physical address. The proposed procedure is implemented on an actual feeder from an electrical utility with high penetration of DERs.The results show that the proposed method provides a more accurate estimation of the topology of the feeder in terms of coordinates.

Совершенствование уголовно-процессуального режима обращения информации в досудебном производстве в эпоху цифровой трансформации

Introduction: the article analyzes the prospects of reforming criminal proceedings into a high-tech model. Factors that make such a transformation difficult are highlighted. The most significant of these are shortcomings in the legal regulation of information handling in pre-trial proceedings. The article justifies the need to eliminate such shortcomings by improving the system of principles and general conditions of criminal proceedings. The proposed concept includes the introduction of the notion ‘procedurally significant information’, the principle of ‘information protection in criminal proceedings’, the general condition of a preliminary investigation ‘Measures to ensure the protection of procedurally significant information in pre-trial proceedings carried out in digital form’; certain provisions of the condition ‘Inadmissibility of disclosing the pre-trial investigation data’ (Article 161 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation) are improved; the prospects of creating a high-tech model of criminal procedure are presented. Purpose: to propose measures aimed at improving the efficiency of the criminal procedure regime of information handling; to develop a universal mechanism for protecting pre-trial data; to propose theoreticallegal and applied solutions for the transformation of criminal procedural activities into a digital model. Methods: general philosophical method (dialectics); general scientific methods: logical (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) and functional; special scientific methods (comparative-legal, technical-legal, modeling). Results: the paper develops proposals for improving the legal regulation of information handling in pre-trial proceedings; declares the concept of improving the system of conceptions, principles of judicial proceedings, and general conditions of a preliminary investigation; outlines a conceptual model of a high-tech state information system serving criminal procedural activities in digital pre-trial proceedings on the platform of an experimental version of a software-hardware complex under the working title SleD. Conclusions: the upcoming prospects of the digital transformation of criminal proceedings determine the need to streamline legal relations concerning the handling of the pre-trial stage data. The list of data not subject to disclosure is determined by the circumstances of the case, but always meets the requirements of the information protection principle, of the proposed conditions of a preliminary investigation, and the concept of procedurally significant information. The unified procedure of information handling will provide a stable basis for creating effective high-tech criminal proceedings.

The main stages of model realization are given, which includes four steps: creation of tourism object database, collection and processing of comments, creation of tone definition dictionary and stage of tourism object evaluation. The paper also touches upon the issues related to the definition of the needs of tourists and tourism organizations.

ІNFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR MODELING LAND PRICES UNDER THE URBANIZATION PROCESS

The dynamic shifts associated with urban growth or decline significantly influence both municipal and national economic policies. Urban expansion often necessitates substantial land resources allocation, whereas in regions with limited land availability or geographical restrictions, a innovative approach to urban planning is mandated. Key land value factors have been determined and classified. Each direct and indirect land prices key economic impact factor had been summarized and used to build information system model. Among these factors financial and economic data combined with geo-spatial information are considered the main input data sources for the digital information systems solution. An eight steps algorithm was constructed to enable information system output for economical assessment of land plot objects. The presented equations for economical assessment of a single land plot object can be used to calculate important parameters for the information system. Going one step further, a pyramid-shaped diagram denotes four stages of general economical valuation for prospective land object in context of investment opportunities. The price of each individual land slot can be efficiently calculated using an information system that relies upon pre-processed data, price impact factors and general land slot information. The findings underscore the necessity for adopting a more comprehensive approach towards the modeling of land prices in urbanized territories. This approach should adequately reflect the current delineation of urban and suburban boundaries, incorporate data pertinent to urban zones, and consider the spatial distribution of most significant industrial sites and business districts within larger urban zone (metropolitan region).

An Evaluation of the Impact of Urban Growth on Runoff in Abeokuta, Southwestern Nigeria

Abeokuta is one of the urban areas in Nigeria with high cases of runoff fatalities in recent times, indicating the need for a proper understanding of prominent runoff-generating mechanisms, as well as the causative factors. Consequently, this paper, which is focused on flood-prone settlements, is aimed at providing information on the impact of change in urban land use on runoff in the study area. The specific objectives were to determine the change in average runoff in terms of the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCN-CN), and to assess the impact of urban growth on runoff in the area. The SCN-CN was derived from the 30m spatial Shuttle Radar Topography Mission Digital Elevation Model (SRTM DEM). At the same time, land cover change was estimated using Landsat TM+ from 2000 and Landsat 8 OLI from 2018. Data were analysed using the Hydrologic Engineering Centre’s Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS) and ArcGIS (version 10.1). The results showed a 14% increase (from 39% in 2000 to 53% in 2018) in urban areas of selected catchments; and a relative increase in average CN from 76.9 units in 2000 to 79.9 units in 2018, suggesting an increase in runoff potential relative to the increase in urban/impermeable space in the catchment. Annual discharge depth increased from 891.84mm to 956.9mm, while peak discharge increased from 161.9m3 /s to 196.2m3 /s. Runoff in the study area tends to exhibit spatial variability that is similar to the pattern exhibited by built-up areas across the study area, suggesting that the development of built-up areas can explain runoff exacerbation in part of the area. The use of SCN-CN and satellite images makes the approach reproducible, and the mixed methods of geographic information system and hydrological model revealed the spatial variability typically hidden in stand-alone hydrological models. The paper recommends further studies with the use of less coarse datasets, as well as the implementation of policies that focus on sustainable urban growth in the region, and other cities.

Finding the Best Analysis for the Sleeper Cells of Terrorist Acts in the Crowded Areas of Human Activities in the City of Baghdad

Terrorist operations disturbed societies and threatened their existence due to destructive ideas carried by those groups that believe in radical change and the use of multiple methods to implement their ideas, as well as taking methods of concealment among society, so it has become difficult to detect them. The study's purpose is to locate sleeper cells of terrorist operations in areas dense with various human activities using remote sensing techniques and geographic information systems programs. The programs were used to analyze the group of terrorist incidents data that occurred in Baghdad in 2011 and study how to limit the crimes spreading in Baghdad. The study included building a model in spatial information systems for sites by identifying the accidents by simulating the reality with the Global Positioning System (GPS) to be a starting point for the spatial analysis of the accidents and devising a scientific approach to locate sleeper cells using statistical methods and theories. Moreover, predictive research focuses on several spatial studies to produce predictive maps for the sleeper cell sites spreading from their location toward the cities. The GIS proved to be one of the primary software packages that help decision-makers take appropriate measures at the right time, predict the spatial spread of future accidents, and control them in the future to be an effective model for researchers.

Формування системи інформаційно-аналітичного забезпечення розвитку біопаливних виробництв на базі підприємств агросектору

The project proposal focuses on the role and importance of information in the transformation process of economic policy in general and agrarian policy in particular, given the programmed (by the Recovery Plan of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Fund Programme) inclination towards bioeconomic orientation of the recovery (reconstruction) of the national economy sectors from the war consequences, directing their further activities and coordinated ontogenesis towards sustainable and comprehensive socio-ecological and economic development of business entities (including agro-oriented and biofuel producers). The definition, scope and categorical differences between information and information-analytical support of agricultural enterprises, including those engaged in biomass processing into biofuels, are revealed. It has been proved that the quintessence of this ontogeny is the approximation of the European Green Deal's levers into the national regulatory framework, which allowed, among other things, to identify national, sectoral and niche progress in the relevant digital developments, “greening” of finance and further needs of Ukraine within the framework of EU membership and post-war recovery. The typologies of information and information-analytical support of agricultural enterprises engaged in the production of biofuels under the principles of “green” post-war recovery and bioeconomy are elaborated and presented. The importance of introducing and applying a unified universal information and analytical system, which includes an information system, a database, information resources and registers, in the economic practice of biofuel production in the agricultural sector of Ukraine is outlined. Features of the agricultural enterprises engaged in the production of biofuels are examined in terms of the architecture design of a unified system on information and analytical support of their activities, its compliance with the best European practices, including those related to traceability and safety of the agro-food value chain in the new military-driven socio-economic reality and the potential for substitution of imported diesel and petrol. A general concept of the information and analytical support system model is suggested, being acceptable under the martial law conditions for agricultural enterprises engaged in biofuel production. The article proposes a general concept of a model of an information and analytical support system which is acceptable under the legal regime of martial law for enterprises of the agricultural sector of economy engaged in biofuel production. Regarding the suggested system, it has been proved that the latter has sufficient potential for adaptation to specific operational needs, production conditions and security risks, allowing for the sectoral specifics of other enterprises in the agricultural sector of Ukraine.

A quantitative model to assess the human consequences of a natural gas pipeline rupture in urban distribution networks

Natural gas is known as a hazardous fuel that could cause human casualties, especially in urban areas. For this reason, assessing the consequences of natural gas pipeline ruptures is settled as an important element in determining the potential effects of such ruptures on human health and developing risk management programs for natural gas networks. Several efforts have been made in the literature to establish potential consequence areas; however, there are many limitations on the methodologies proposed so far; or alternatively, consequence analyses have been performed in specific cases using a defined location, but not along a natural gas distribution network. The model proposed in this research consists of two main components: (i) a spatial assessment of gas dispersion through the ALOHA software to obtain the potential impact areas, and (ii), the count of the number of individual people located within the potential impact areas through a geographic information system (GIS) model, which proves to be a valuable tool for assessing the consequences of natural gas distribution networks. The proposed model has been applied on a case study to validate the ability to quantify the number of people exposed per linear meter of pipeline, and provide the opportunity to relatively assess the level of consequences of the pipeline network.

The Mesopotamia Basin is widely recognized as a significant aggradation geomorphological entity, characterized by the dominance of fluvial, lacustrine, and aeolian landforms. The geographical scope of this study spans a specific region within the Mesopotamian Basin, specifically including Nasiriyah and Basrah located in the southern region of Iraq. It comprises a collection of Joint and fault systems that serve as indicators of various tectonic occurrences that have influenced the Arabian plate from the pre-Cambrian era up till the present day. The major goal of this model is to mapping and detects fault segments to get information about the large faults existing which is not recognized by prior work. A Geographic Information System (GIS) model was employed to create three digital layers, namely Lineament, drainage patterns, and lithological contact. These layers were established using several sources of information. The initial step of the GIS demonstration includes the input information, and the subsequent includes the selection of the equation for this model to specify the vulnerability of faulting segments in the research sector. Moderate to large lineaments (fault lines) were identified the results suggest an additional (26,15) new fault segment line numbers for the areas Nasiriyah and Basrah respectively which were not known by the fault map over the research sector, these fault lines reflect crustal structures (large length lineaments), as well as analysis lineaments from satellite images, enables obtaining a miscellany of terrain applications, such as the selection of landfill sites, determining terrain stability, dam sites, and many other applications

Query Model Framework Design for Conservation History and Endowments Database: A Case Study on the Digitization of the Sumedang Larang Kingdom’s History and Endowments in Indonesia

The use of structured query formulation languages is a method for gaining access to data in information management systems. Writing structured queries is a powerful method of data retrieval, and end users can generate complex database queries by becoming proficient in a particular query language. Digitization of database information systems, history and endowment, and technology conservation are some examples of database conservation techniques in the process of displaying data that require optimal query techniques. Historical and endowment properties comply with a certain set of laws governing waqf recipients, which sets them apart from heritage and cultural assets. Trusted property typically comprises real estate, valuables, or both and has an infinite preservation term so long as it may still be put to use. A solid information technology infrastructure is essential for ensuring comprehensive data security. Given the availability of knowledge and the quick development of information technology, ensuring its sustainability is a challenge. This research is aimed at preserving historical and waqf databases based on the case study of the Kingdom of Sumedang Larang (KSL), Indonesia, through examination of the database, synchronization of digital data with physical data, as well as looking at its relationship with organizations and management. The proposed method, namely the Design and Analysis of Database Query Model for Preservation Information System (DAQMP), creates a recurring query model from the original tabular data placed in the next table as a special table check for data specifications containing important data. The results must be accurately aligned between digital and physical records regularly to serve as a record of any changes and as evidence to determine whether data has been corrupted, altered, or lost.
