A study of changes in Mean Ocular Perfusion Pressure and Intra-Ocular Pressure among patients undergoing hemodialysis
Authors: Seethalakshmi DK , Kanakapur Savitha , DK Supriya
Published: September 2022

Background:During hemodialysis there is decrease in both systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and hence Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) due to decrease in body fluid volume. Due to reduction in MAP there is decrease in Mean Ocular Perfusion Pressure (MOPP) and also there is increase in IOP during dialysis.

Objective:To study changes in MOPP and IOP among patients undergoing hemodialysis

Methods:An observational study was carried out among 100 patients undergoing hemodialysis Under aseptic condition, Proparacaine eye drops were instilled in both eyes, IOP was measured by Schiotz Indentation Tonometer 30 min before, during hemodialysis and 30 min after hemodialysis in supine position. Tonometer was sterilized by Isopropyl alcohol and was washed with normal saline before using on next patient. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured by using sphygmomanometer 30 min before, during and 30 min after hemodialysis.

Results:The variations in the SBP, DBP and MAP before, during and after hemodialysis were not statistically significant (p>0.05). There was significant differences for IOP between before, during and after hemodialysis and same for MOPP except before and 30 min after hemodialysis (p < 0.0001).

Conclusion:Significant fluctuations were seen from the present study in the intra-ocular pressure and mean ocular perfusion pressure during, before and after hemodialysis.
Iron Profile in Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus in — A study in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Authors: Lagisetty Lavanya
Published: September 2022

Background: The most prevalent metabolic condition, type 2 diabetes mellitus, is characterized by persistent hyperglycemia caused by abnormalities in insulin production, insulin action, or both. Iron, a transitional metal, has been demonstrated to play a key role in the pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, with a bidirectional link in which iron influences glucose metabolism, which in turn influences the iron metabolic pathways. The current study aimed to estimate the iron profile in Type 2 diabetes mellitus cases.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was done in the Department of Biochemistry, Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Naganoor, Karimnagar. A total of n=100 cases of type II diabetes mellitus were included in the study and age and sex-matched healthy controls were also included in the study. Laboratory investigations included Fasting Blood glucose, Serum ferritin, Total iron-binding capacity, serum iron, and serum transferrin saturation.

Results: The fasting blood glucose was found to be significantly higher in the diabetes mellitus cases. The serum ferritin mean values were 105.32 µgm/dl. In the controls, the range of ferritin levels was 145 µgm/dl. The serum ferritin levels were found to be significantly reduced in the study cases as compared to the controls. Similarly, the total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) of the cases was found to be significantly increased as compared to the controls. The serum transferrin levels were also found to be elevated in the study cases as compared to the controls.

Conclusion: Iron is closely related to the development of diabetes mellitus. Elevated iron and ferritin levels are risk factors for diabetes and can lead to a variety of problems. Conversely in chronic diabetics, there is a tendency to develop iron deficiency anemia and other nutritional deficiency anemias as observed by the results of the current study. As a result, iron profile evaluation can be a valuable output of the expected investigations on diabetes and related problems.

Published: September 2022

Background:Necrotising fasciitis(NF) is one of the most fulminant infection of skin and soft tissue. It is a fatal rapidly progressing disease causing Multi organ Dysfunction syndrome (MODS), septic shock & death if not identified early & treated accordingly. The aim is to study risk factors associated with NF and predictors of outcome.

Settings & design: Prospective observational study in a single tertiary care center.

Materials and Methods:Prospective analysis of patients with NF from March 2018 – August 2019 was done. The known risk factors were studied.

Results: A Total 120 patients were reviewed. Out of which 81 (67.5%) were males and 39 (32.5%) were females. The mortality rate in our study was 14.16%. It was significantly high in patients with CRF (p 0.045), HIV (p <0.001), Diabetes with other risk factors (p 0.003),BSA > 10% (p <0.01), Type 3 culture (0.027),LRINEC score >6 (p 0.015).

Conclusion:NF in patients with known risk factors progresses rapidly, so aggressive treatment should be given at the earliest. Early identification & prompt intervention is the key for better survival outcome in NF.

Background: Earlier obesity was a disease of the affluent but with changing trend, modernization, sedentary lifestyles overweight/ obesity is increasing in the rural population too. Children of the present generation are prone to obesity which will hamper life in the future. Scientific evidence shows that unhealthy diet and physical inactivity are major global determinants of non-communicable diseases. Aim & Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of obesity, to study the life style factors and to analyze the socio-demographic factors that influence obesity. Materials & Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out in 400 children between the age group of 12–15 years. Informed consent was obtained from school authorities to collect information from the children. Height and weight were measured using standard procedure and BMI (kg/m) was calculated. Overweight and obesity was assessed by BMI following the WHO guidelines. The questionnaire assessed life style, physical activity, dietary habits and socio-demographic data. Results:Prevalence of obesity was 25.2% (101 children). The statistically significant (p<0.05) factors which influenced obesity was transport to school, physical activity, watching television while eating, consumption of ready made food items, eating in between meals and the socioeconomic status. Conclusion:The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 25.2% as per the BMI (WHO) classification. Use of motor transport, lack of physical activity and sedentary life are major factors.

Dissecting Human and Influenza Virus Interaction with qFRET Technology
Authors: Liu Chuchu , Dang Runrui , Liao Jiayu
Published: September 2022

Influenza viruses cause seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics around the world. During each flu season, IAV and IBV viruses are circulated widely in the community, with IAV being the dominant circulating virus and IBV accounting for 25% of all flu cases on average. Due to the significant threat posed by the flu virus, international organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), have risen to prominence in limiting its global effect. Despite the vaccinations and anti-flu medications that have been develop to combat influenza, drug resistance development highlights the necessity of further studies for influenzas virus pathogenesis and new therapeutic development. Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a technique for detecting protein interactions in vitro and in vivo that is widely employed in biological and biomedical research. Here we report that the IBV M1 protein has a high affinity with human SUMOylation enzymes, the conjugating enzyme UBC9 and the ligase PIAS1, and conform M1 can be SUMOylated determined with a quantitative FRET (qFRET) assay developed in our lab. Understanding the viral infection process and developing new treatment methods requires identifying and deciphering the host route of viral infection. It is critical to comprehend the viral infection process and develop new therapeutics. Blocking the host human SUMOylation pathway is particularly effective for IBV reduction. Our research provides a direct interaction of human proteins with influenza B protein, providing new insights in human-virus interactions for future therapeutics development.

Published: September 2022

The post-extraction border preservation is a fundamental procedure to the maintenance of alveolar volume prioritizing an aesthetical and functional improvement in the im- plant’s positioning. This thesis’s objective was to evaluate the titanium membrane (Sur- gitime Titânio Seal® – Bionnovation, Brasil) covered post extraction alveolar bone di- mensional alterations, while comparing areas to unitary and multiple exodontias. 20 pre and post-operation tomographical exams were evaluated, from areas where unitary den- tal extractions (G1) and multiple dental extractions (G2) occurred. In every case, using the Titanium Seal post extraction alveolar preservation treatment, with no alveolus fil- ling. Measurements were obtained from the central region of the axial and area sections previous to the proceadure at the most cervical zones of bone peaks, plus two more me- asurements from 2 and 4 mm under the first point. Following, those measurements were transfered from the previously obtained absolute refurbishment length. Measurements were taken from the new total border length – at the central virtually representative re- gion of the extracted dental element. In both groups, differences among baseline and 6 months in height: -0,95mm ±0,89 (G1) and -1,95mm ±1,04 (G2) and 2mm volume: -1,10mm ±0,48 (G1) and -2,48mm ±1,08 (G2) were statistically representative. In any cases, the 4mm volume presented differences. Statistically, the bone loss was higher in Group 2. The present study have shown that the titanium-laminated sheet was effective when it comes to post-extraction alveolar preservation, in both unitary and multiple ex- tractions.

The aim of this article is to elucidate the main aspects of Noise Hearing Loss. Pathology that has been increasing since the Industrial Revolution since the second half of the 18th century. The worker’s health did not go unpunished in the context of a change in mass production: repetitive strain injury, musculoskeletal disorders, definitive or temporary deafness and even psychic suffering are frequent to the work environment. It is essential to emphasize that health is protected by the Occupational Health Legislation, which is the legal framework for states and the city to fulfill their attributions by reducing the area of friction and directing their actions to provide effective promotion, health protection and prevention of injuries related to the labor environment in line with the basic principles of the Unified Health System.

Fabrique urbaine: a new concept in urban history and morphology
Authors: Noizet Hélène
Published: September 2022

The concept of fabrique urbaine can be described as a socio-spatial process of development of ordinary towns and cities. Practices and representations of the residents and other users of urban areas must be first analysed as a series of historical moments, which may be termed ‘social temporalities’. Then the spatial structure of the town, especially its plots, the aggregation of plots into street blocks, and the street system, can be precisely described, but with its own temporalities, and only as the final result of the history of the inhabitants. The link between social history and urban morphology is in important respects indirect: social temporalities are not conscious steps in the process of the development of the urban fabric. Nevertheless, there is a dialectical interaction between these two orders of facts. This method of articulating the historical development of urban areas is illustrated by studies of French cities.
The ecological significance of urban fringe belts
Authors: Hopkins Michael I. W.
Published: September 2022

Fringe belts form at the edge of urban areas during periods of slow urban growth. They become embedded within the urban fabric when expansion resumes. One of their characteristics is the co-location of a number of different, low-intensity land uses (for example, parks, cemeteries and institutions). This paper investigates the ecological characteristics of fringe belts. Focusing on the Edwardian fringe belt of Birmingham, UK, research shows that habitat patches within the fringe belt are different from those elsewhere in the city in at least two respects: first, in the demographic structure of their tree population, which suggests that many of the habitats have been subject to less major disturbance than those elsewhere in the city; and secondly, in their much larger average number of species recorded per patch, even after taking patch size into account.
Interpreting urban micromorphology in China: case studies from Suzhou
Authors: Chen Fei
Published: September 2022

In light of the Conzenian tradition of urban morphology, this paper explores the concept of micromorphology in China. Here the widespread absence until recently of true ground plans of cities showing accurately streets, plots and building block-plans is an obstacle to conventional plan analysis. Using such sources as local gazetteers, other local writings, historical photographs, and existing historical buildings, this paper undertakes a micromorphological analysis of a public building complex and two private house complexes in the Guanqian area, Suzhou. The relative persistence of various morphological elements is demonstrated. Links are made between morphology and political social economy. Micromorphology is shown to be potentially valuable for urban design, management and policy-making.

Thinking about urban fringe belts: a Mediterranean perspective
Authors: Ünlü Tolga
Published: September 2022

Four perspectives on fringe belts are discussed: spatial, economic, social and planning. The characteristics of previous studies are examined in relation to these perspectives. In this light the investigation of the fringe belts, especially the inner fringe belt, of the Mediterranean port city of Mersin reveals the emergence of three distinct functional sections within the inner fringe belt and the merging of the inner and middle fringe belts. Phases and processes of development are examined. The absence of a significant fixation line until the construction of the ring road well into the post-war period has been a major factor influencing the historico-geographical pattern of fringebelt development. The findings are related to those of previous fringe-belt studies.
A comparative study of urban form
Authors: Oliveira Vítor , Monteiro Cláudia , Partanen Jenni
Published: September 2022

This paper compares four different approaches to urban morphology: historico-geographical, process typological, space syntax, and spatial analytical. It explores in particular the use of four fundamental concepts proposed in these approaches: morphological region, typological process, spatial configuration, and cell. The four concepts are applied in a traditional gateway area of the city of Porto, Portugal. The area includes considerable variety of urban form. The main purpose is to understand how to combine and co-ordinate these approaches so as to improve the description, explanation and prescription of urban form.
Urban landscape regions and conservation: new approaches and problems in Antequerra, Málaga Province, Spain
Authors: Barke Michael
Published: September 2022

This paper describes the approach taken in attempting to deal with the problems of urban conservation in the Andalucían town of Antequera. The methodology adopted in formulating a Special Plan bears a close resemblance to that advocated by M.R.G. Conzen in identifying distinctive spatial units as the starting point for the future management of the townscape, based on plan elements, building types and land use. However, amongst the problems that will be encountered in implementing the Plan are the intense pressure for retail change in central but historic areas, the modernization of traditional housing in residential areas and, in the absence of a significant tourist industry, the limited perceived value of the townscape as a resource in itself.
Workers'-cottage and minimal-bungalow districts in Oakland and Berkeley, California, 1870-1945
Authors: Groth Paul
Published: September 2022

Case studies in West Oakland and West Berkeley, California - blue-collar districts built between 1870 and 1945 in the San Francisco Bay Area - exemplify two contrasting sets of urban forms. Within each set, house types and block plans share similar spatial rules. Workers' cottages and workers'-cottage districts, typically begun up to 1900, rely on mixed uses and very little spatial specialization, with ad hoc additions to the dwellings, varied street setbacks and lot lines, mixed land uses, and very little uniformity. In contrast, the dwellings and blocks of minimal-bungalow districts, typically built between 1900 and 1945, are constructed all at once and in a permanent form, with interior spaces that are specialized, hierarchical, socially zoned, and separated by hallways; the blocks have uniform setbacks and lots, and restrictive covenants. The differences between these two forms illustrate closely-intertwined oppositions of twentieth-century modernity that North Americans are still debating: the desirability of urban form based on individual decision-making rather than official control of experts; the benefits of mixture and overlapping uses rather than uniformity and hierarchical separation; and the tensions between obviously temporary urban surroundings on the one hand and visually finished, permanent forms and more predictable real estate values on the other.
The synergy between human resources and operations commitment at a selected car rental company
Authors:   , Sing Sudheer
Published: September 2022

Due to high staff turnover of the front line staff appointed as Rental Sales Agents, it has been established that this creates disharmony in the work place for the remaining employees that have been in their roles over a long period of time. From observation, employee morale is affected, due to stress, longer working hours and other related factors due to being short of manpower in the relevant business unit. A study by Zheng (2017), asks: Does Staff Turnover Affect Productivity? Zheng (2017), states that in the Corporate World of Business, each company’s productivity is complex and measured differently, but the one factor that remains constant and always hurts productivity is employee turnover. “When employees are constantly moving, it is difficult to maintain the level of output; that’s mainly because new employees need time to train and to get used to the work, before they reach full productivity”. The researcher has confirmed that the organisation in this study is a reputable brand that is a leader in the car rental service industry. It can therefore be argued that in order to remain a leader in the industry, it requires the appropriate resources in order to be able to stay ahead of its competitors. One of the key resources identified in this study is, Human Capital. Human Capital should be equipped with the requisite skills to be able to assist the customer fully. This will enable operations to successfully achieve its goal through its people which is the main function of an effective HRMS, defined as Human Resource Management System. It is alleged that synergy between the Operations and Human Capital Department is not cohesive and is therefore impacting on productivity, satisfaction and organisational commitment at the selected Car Rental Company. In order for this organisation to be in line with its vision, which is to exceed customer expectations at every Interface, it has been established that employee commitment, as brand ambassadors has to be aligned and re-enforced for maximum productivity which can be maintained, hence, according to Dattagupta (n.d), “organizational effectiveness points towards effective, prudent and strategic use of all the organizational resources, namely, Human, Financial and Technological resources for creating a competitive advantage. The organizational effectiveness also calls for creating sustainable growth and development by taking care of not only the senior shareholders' expectations, but also the expectations of the junior stakeholders. It also means that Management makes the right ethical decisions in the interest of all the stakeholders, which includes all the employees of the organisation”.
Developing measures to improve employee engagement in public Technical Vocational and Educational Training (TVET) colleges in Gauteng Province, South Africa : an investigation of antecedent and outcome variables
Authors:   , Amoo Akinlawon Olubukunmi
Published: September 2022

This study investigated the antecedent and outcome variables of employee engagement within the public Technical Vocational and Educational Training (TVET) colleges in South Africa’s Gauteng Province. Job demand in the form of work overload, job resources in the form of supervisor and co-worker support and role clarity, personal resources in the form of self-efficacy, individual differences in the form of proactive personality, and psychological conditions in the form of psychological meaningfulness and psychological availability were assessed as the possible antecedents to employee engagement (referring to job engagement and organisation engagement). Discretionary effort and turnover intention were assessed as the possible outcomes of employee engagement. Adopting a quantitative cross sectional design survey, a random sample of 190 lecturers across 43 campuses of the eight public TVET colleges in Gauteng was used for the study. Twelve variables were considered with six major hypotheses. The research hypotheses were tested through correlation analysis and structural equation modelling. Results revealed that some of the proposed antecedents significantly predicted employee engagement. For example, workload has a statistically significant positive and direct effect on psychological availability (β = 0.28, p < 0.003), and a statistically significant negative effect on job engagement (β = -0.32, p < 0.000) and organisational engagement (β = -0.37, p < 0.000). Supervisor support has a statistically significant positive relationship with psychological meaningfulness (β = 0.27, p < 0.003), job engagement (β = 0.35, p < 0.000), and organisational engagement (β = 0.23, p < 0.000). This study also supported the view that psychological conditions are positive antecedents of employee engagement, and that employee engagement can influence positive employee intention and behaviour in an organisation. Implications for scholars and practitioners, especially management of public TVET colleges and the South African government are discussed as viable options for providing conditions that aid the development of employee engagement and consequently organisational performance.
Narrative Strategies of Modern Media Text
Authors:   Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University, Zrazhevska Nina
Published: September 2022

The aimof the study is to identify the main conceptual narrative concepts of media discourse and illustrate how narrative analysis reveals narrative strategies of media text, which in turn provides a basis for identifying hidden meanings, ideologies, myths, even in the structure of so-called non-narrative media -news journalism. Research methods and techniques. According to the theory of narrative, in our study we based the narrative analysis of the media on two leading approaches: 1) syntagmatic (based on the works of W. Propp (1928) –the sequence of narrative plot with emphasis on the chain of actions and events, themes in motives; 2)paradigmatic (ideas of K. Levi-Strauss (1963)–the choice of stylistic means that formalize the narrative and pragmatic features of the social and cultural context. Results and discussion. In the study, we consider the median narrative as a coherent narrative phenomenon associated with important influential ideas of the world. Allegations that the factsin the hard media are presented neutrally are refuted by narrative analysis and reconstruction of the media text. This approach to the media text actualizes the «hermeneutics of suspicion», which expresses distrust in the «reality» of the facts and in reality itself. We argue that the texts of mass communication and journalistic materials in particular are complex texts that seek not only to inform, teach and entertain, but also to change the perception of reality and identity in a particular cultural and historical discourse. Conclusions. The use of narrative analysis of media messages allows to reveal the narrative strategies of the proposed media texts in different media (news, TV series), and to explain how narrative levels of media represent different power discourses, how they represent the ideological plane and myths in modern sociocultural discourse. Key words: narrative, narrative strategies, focalization, media text, narrative turn, news genres, hermeneutics of suspicion.

İbn Mücâhid’in Kitâbü’s-Sebʿa adlı eseri yedi kıraati ilk defa toplayan ve günümüze ulaşan en eski eser olmanın yanında kendisinden sonra yazılan Teysîr/Şâṭıbiyye ve 10 kıraati içeren İbnü’l-Cezerî’nin en-Neşr/Ṭayyibe eserine kaynaklık eden bir eserdir. Tayyibe tarikinde İbnü’l-Cezerî diğer kıraatlerde kaynak olarak aldığı bu eseri Âsım kıraati için almamıştır. Bu yönüyle Âsım kıraatinin eserdeki râvi ve tarikleri Teysîr/Şâtıbiyye ve Tayyibe tariklerinde aynı değildir. Kitâbü’s-Sebʿa’da verilen 14 tarik, Ṭayyibe’de Hafs için 52, Şuʿbe için verilen 76 tarik içinde yer almamaktadır. Ayrıca bu eserde Mufaddal ve Ebân rivayetleri verilmiş ve farklı okumalarına da değinilmiştir. Çalışmada, İbn Mücâhid ve kıraat ilmindeki yeri ve Âsım kıraati açısından râvi, tarik ve Ṭayyibe dışında farklı olarak nakledilen usûl ve ferş okumaları örnek olarak ele alınmıştır. Bu okumalar tamamen farklı tarikle geldiğinden, diğer kıraatler içinde nakledilse de Âsım kıraatinin bilinen okuması değildir. Zira bugün okuduğumuz Şuʿbe/Hafs rivayeti Tayyibe tarikleri çerçevesinde okunmaktadır. Bu çerçevede kıraat ilminde dönüm noktası olan ve en temel kaynak olan bu eserdeki tarikler ve buna bağlı bazı okumaların Âsım kıraati özelinde Tayyibe tarikleriyle bağlantılı olarak farklılığı ortaya konulmuş ve bu duruma karşı yaklaşımın nasıl olması gerektiği üzerinde durulmuştur.
A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DO LÚDICO NA FORMAÇÃO DO PROFESSOR DE EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Published: September 2022

O objetivo principal deste artigo é discutir a importância da formação lúdica para educadores da primeira infância. Justificamos a mesma intenção, pois assumimos que, se as brincadeiras fazem parte do universo infantil, deve ser prioritária a sua presença durante a formação inicial e continuada dos profissionais que atuam neste nível de ensino. Outro fator que comprova a relevância deste estudo envolve a ausência de experiências lúdicas nos cursos de formação de professores no Brasil. Do ponto de vista prático, os programas geralmente são voltados para o conhecimento teórico, sem se preocupar em dar aos alunos exposição à criança desde o início de sua formação. O brincar envolve desenvolvimento cognitivo, social, emocional, psicológico e emocional, por isso os educadores da primeira infância precisam de uma formação adequada para trabalhar com as crianças, uma formação voltada para a dimensão lúdica, para que o jogo seja estimulado em sala de aula.

Variations of the density of ambient black carbon retrieved by a new method: importance to CCN prediction
Authors: Ren Jingye , Zhang Fang , Chen Lu , Liu Jieyao
Published: September 2022

Abstract. The effective density of black carbon (BC) is a crucial factor relevant to its morphology and mixing state that would add uncertainty in evaluating its climate effect. Here, we develop a new method to retrieve the effective density of ambient BC combining field observations with the Köhler theory. The uncertainty of the new retrieval method was evaluated within ±30 %, which is primarily caused by assumptions of the hygroscopic parameter of organics and the fraction of primary organic aerosols in non-hygroscopic or hygroscopic mode. Using the new method, we obtain that the ambient BC density during the campaign varies widely from 0.14 to 2.1 g cm−3, with a campaign mean density of 1.11±0.54 g cm−3 for internally-mixed BC that accounts for 79±18 % of total BC particles. The retrieved values fall within the range of typical density of internally-mixed BC reported in the literatures. We further examined the sensitivity of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) number concentrations (NCCN) prediction to variations of BC density, showing an uncertainty of −28 %~11 % in calculating NCCN at supersaturations of 0.2 % and 0.4 % by varying the BC density within the retrieved ranges. We also find that the NCCN is more sensitive to the variations of BC density when it is <1.0 g cm−3, illustrating a necessity of accounting for such effect closer to source regions where the BC particles are mostly freshly emitted. The CCN closure achieves when introducing the retrieved real-time BC density and mixing state. This study provides a unique way of utilizing field measurements to infer ambient BC density and highlights the importance of applying varying BC density values in models when predicting CCN and assessing its relevant climate effect.

Abstract. Nighttime NO3-initiated oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) such as monoterpenes is important for the atmospheric formation and growth of secondary organic aerosol (SOA), which has significant impact on climate, air quality, and human health. In such SOA
formation and growth, highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOM) may be
crucial, but their formation pathways and role in aerosol formation have yet to be clarified. Among monoterpenes, limonene is of particular interest for its high emission globally and high SOA yield. In this work, HOM formation in the reaction of limonene with nitrate radical (NO3) was investigated in the SAPHIR chamber (Simulation of Atmospheric PHotochemistry In a large Reaction chamber). About 280 HOM products were identified, grouped into 19 monomer families, 11 dimer families, and 3 trimer families. Both closed-shell products and open-shell peroxy radicals (RO2⚫) were observed, and many of them have not been reported previously. Monomers and dimers accounted for 47 % and 47 % of HOM concentrations, respectively, with trimers making up the remaining 6 %. In the most abundant monomer families, C10H15−17NO6−14, carbonyl products outnumbered hydroxyl products, indicating the importance of RO2⚫ termination by unimolecular dissociation. Both RO2⚫ autoxidation and alkoxy–peroxy pathways were found to be important processes leading to HOM. Time-dependent concentration profiles of monomer products containing nitrogen showed mainly second-generation formation patterns. Dimers were likely formed via the accretion reaction of two monomer RO2⚫, and HOM-trimers via the accretion reaction
between monomer RO2⚫ and dimer RO2⚫. Trimers are suggested to play an important role in new particle formation (NPF) observed in our experiment. A HOM yield of 1.5%-0.7%+1.7% was estimated considering only first-generation products. SOA mass growth could
be reasonably explained by HOM condensation on particles assuming
irreversible uptake of ultra-low volatility organic compounds (ULVOCs),
extremely low volatility organic compounds (ELVOCs), and low volatility
organic compounds (LVOCs). This work provides evidence for the important role of HOM formed via the limonene +NO3 reaction in NPF and growth of SOA particles.

Abstract. Impact-based forecasts and warnings (IBFs) are seen as important drivers for adequate anticipation and assessment of potential threats to public safety as they give a better understanding of the weather event's impacts. To prepare for impacts of weather events and prevent weather-related accidents, road maintenance services are actively using weather information in their daily work routine. This paper looks into the requirements that road maintenance services have for IBFs and how weather forecasts are used at the moment. The study is part of an interdisciplinary research project and follows a qualitative social science research approach. Findings show that the following factors are general user requirements: relevance of information, recognition of spatial and temporal requests, acceptability, comprehensibility, and technical demands. These are also applicable to IBFs with the extension to provide a benefit for road maintenance services in situations that rarely occur and where no embodied knowledge in the organization is existent.
Technical note: Photosynthetic capacity estimation is dependent on model assumptions
Authors: Wang Yujie , Frankenberg Christian
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Modeling leaf photosynthesis is crucial for Earth system modeling. However, as photosystem light absorption and gas exchange are not typically simultaneously measured, photosynthetic capacity estimation and thus photosynthesis modeling are subject to inaccurate light absorption representation in photosynthesis models. We analyzed how leaf absorption features and light source may impact photosynthesis modeling at various settings. We found that (1) estimated photosynthetic capacity can be over- or under-estimated depending on model assumption, and the bias increases with higher mismatch in leaf light absorption parameters and higher true capacity; and (2) modeled photosynthetic rate can also be over- or under-estimated depending on model assumption, and the bias increases with higher leaf internal CO2, and increases and then decreases with increasing light intensity. We recommend researchers not to mix and match results or models with inconsistent assumptions when modeling photosynthesis.
Ice core evidence for major volcanic eruptions at the onset of Dansgaard–Oeschger warming events
Authors: Lohmann Johannes , Svensson Anders
Published: September 2022

Abstract. While a significant influence of volcanic activity on Holocene climate is well-established, an equally prominent role of major eruptions in the climate variability and regime shifts during the Quaternary glacial cycles has been suggested. Previous statistical assessments of this were challenged by inaccurate synchronization of large volcanic eruptions to changes in past climate. Here, this is alleviated by combining a new record of bipolar volcanism from Greenland and Antarctic ice cores with records of abrupt climate change derived from the same ice cores. We show that bipolar volcanic eruptions occurred significantly more frequently than expected by chance just before the onset of Dansgaard–Oeschger events, which are the most prominent large-scale abrupt climate changes in the last glacial period. Out of 20 abrupt warming events in the 12–60 ka period, 5 (7) occur within 20 (50) years after a bipolar eruption. We hypothesize that this may be a result of the direct influence of volcanic cooling on the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, which is widely regarded as the main climate subsystem involved in Dansgaard–Oeschger cycles. Transitions from a weak to a strong circulation mode may be triggered by cooling in the North Atlantic given that the circulation is close to a stability threshold. We illustrate this suggestion by simulations with an ocean-only general circulation model forced by short-term volcanic cooling. The analysis presented suggests that large eruptions may act as short-term triggers for large-scale abrupt climate change and may explain some of the variability of Dansgaard–Oeschger cycles.
While we argue that the bipolar catalogue used here covers a sufficiently large portion of the eruptions with the strongest global climate impact, volcanic events restricted to either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere may likewise contribute to abrupt climate change.

Abstract. The South American Summer Monsoon (SASM) is the main
driver of regional hydroclimate variability across tropical and subtropical
South America. It is best recorded on paleoclimatic timescales by stable
oxygen isotope proxies, which are more spatially representative of regional
hydroclimate than proxies for local precipitation alone. Network studies of
proxies that can isolate regional influences lend particular insight into
various environmental characteristics that modulate hydroclimate, such as
atmospheric circulation variability and changes in the regional energy
budget as well as understanding the climate system sensitivity to external
forcings. We extract the coherent modes of variability of the SASM over the
last millennium (LM) using a Monte Carlo empirical orthogonal function
(MCEOF) decomposition of 14 δ18O proxy records and compare them
with modes decomposed from isotope-enabled climate model data. The two
leading modes reflect the isotopic variability associated with (1) thermodynamic changes driving the upper-tropospheric monsoon circulation
(Bolivian High–Nordeste Low waveguide) and (2) the latitudinal
displacement of the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ). The spatial
characteristics of these modes appear to be robust features of the LM
hydroclimate over South America and are reproduced both in the proxy data
and in isotope-enabled climate models, regardless of the nature of the
model-imposed external forcing. The proxy data document that the SASM was
characterized by considerable temporal variability throughout the LM, with
significant departures from the mean state during both the Medieval Climate
Anomaly (MCA) and the Little Ice Age (LIA). Model analyses during these
periods suggest that the local isotopic composition of precipitation is
primarily a reflection of upstream rainout processes associated with monsoon
convection. Model and proxy data both point to an intensification of the
monsoon during the LIA over the central and western parts of tropical South
America and indicate a displacement of the South Atlantic Convergence Zone
(SACZ) to the southwest. These centennial-scale changes in monsoon intensity
over the LM are underestimated in climate models, complicating the
attribution of changes on these timescales to specific forcings and pointing
toward areas of important model development.
