Indonesia still has the problem of poverty rates in the last five years, with the number of poverty data tending to decrease. The importance of ease of obtaining business financing is a great opportunity for the productive poor to improve welfare and get out of poverty. The research aims to determine the perception of micro waqf bank customers on the ease of obtaining micro-business financing, analyse the contribution to reducing poverty potential from the existence of micro waqf banks, and determine the performance of micro waqf banks in Banten province. The research used qualitative methods with a case study and descriptive approach analysis at a micro waqf bank in Banten province. The results showed that the agre or positive perception are ease of becoming a customer is 81%, the ease of the process of obtaining financing is 89.1%, the ease of guarantee is 97.9%, the ease of understanding the financing contract system is 77.8%, the ease of receiving financing is 95.1%, the ease of returning funding is 96.8% and the ease of participating in weekly halaqah activities is 98.9% and can reduce the potential for poverty by 0.49% in Banten Province. The research implications are that the easier perception it is for the productive poor to obtain micro-business financing, the faster it will reduce poverty and increase public trust in micro waqf banks in Indonesia. Further research needs to be strengthened to examine the relationship between aspects of convenience obtained by customers.
Estimulación cerebral profunda en pacientes pediátricos con distonía
Authors: Araoz Olivos Natalia
Published: March 2024

Introducción: La distonía es un trastorno del movimiento, el tratamiento médico suele ser insatisfactorio, son escasos los estudios sobre el uso de ECP en los niños con distonía.Material y métodos: Fueron incluidos 12 pacientes con distonía que se sometieron al tratamiento de estimulación cerebral profunda entre los años 2005 y 2014, con edad menor de 15 años en la fecha de la cirugía. Cada paciente fue evaluado mediante la Escala de distonía de Burke-Fahn-Marsden previo a la intervención y después del inicio de la estimulación a los 3, 6 y 12 meses y luego anualmente.Resultados: La mediana de edad de los pacientes al inicio fue de 8,5 años (rango 1-10), la edad media en el momento de la cirugía fue de 12 años (rango 8-15). La distonía se generalizó en el 75% de los pacientes. La mutación DYT1 estaba presente en el 83%. El 67% de los pacientes no tenía ninguna lesión anterior. El target elegido en todos los casos fue el globo pálido interno.Discusión: Nuestro estudio demuestra que existe una mejoría funcional significativa con ECP. Aunque la pérdida de eficacia con la ECP a largo plazo pareciera estar implícita a veces por la progresión de la enfermedad de base, hace indispensable acumular más datos de estudios prospectivos para determinar realmente si los beneficios de ECP en la distonía pediátrica pueden mantenerse en la edad adulta.

Published: March 2024

Considerando os avanços sociais e as consequências evidenciadas após o advento da web 2.0, e através de experiências pessoais e profissionais, é possível notar que na educação básica, para alguns docentes, ainda existe um dilema sobre o que é ciência. Há uma espécie de conflito que versa sobre as áreas de Ciências da Natureza (Física, Química e Biologia) e Matemática versus Linguagens e suas Tecnologias (Língua Portuguesa, Redação, Língua Inglesa, Língua Espanhola, Arte e Educação Física) e Ciências Humanas e Sociais Aplicadas (História, Geografia, Filosofia e Sociologia). Assim, por meio de um trabalho investigativo descritivo, interpretativista e qualitativo, esta pesquisa busca analisar as concepções de professores da educação básica em relação ao que é ciência, às práticas pedagógicas adotadas em sala de aula e à influência das formações profissionais nesse sentido, com base em trabalhos de Santos (2008), Weber (2008), entre outros. Para isso, foi elaborado um questionário eletrônico, a partir do qual coletamos algumas reflexões de 03 (três) professores, objetivando conhecer suas concepções acerca da ciência em suas práticas enquanto profissionais de educação, em especial da área de Linguagens. Deste modo, concluímos que as concepções dos professores participantes são amplas e diversificadas, e que o fazer científico sempre está inserido no seu cotidiano escolar direta ou indiretamente, contudo, ainda existe alguns impasses no que se refere às formações continuadas dos docentes.

Geographical variation in size of the three final stadia of Cordulegaster boltonii (Donovan, 1807) larvae in the Iberian Peninsula (Odonata: Cordulegastridae)
Authors: Hernández M. Ángeles , Casanueva Patricia , Oscoz Javier , Sánchez-Sastre Luis Fernando , Ferreras-Romero Manuel , Campos Francisco
Published: March 2024

A two-variable analysis of male and female Cordulegaster boltonii larvae (head width and hindwing sheath length) in specimens from five Iberian populations was carried out with the objective of ascertaining whether these traits differ between populations. The results indicate that the southernmost population (Los Alcornocales, Andalusia) have larger sizes for both variables and a lower growth rate between the penultimate and final stadia. Winter water temperatures, which may cause a longer arrest of larval growth in northern populations, and possible differences in the number of larval stadia could be the origin of the size divergences.
All Things Medieval
Authors: Johnston Ruth A.
Published: March 2024

All Things Medieval: An Encyclopedia of the Medieval World covers the widest definition of “medieval Europe” possible, not by covering history in the traditional, textbook manner of listing wars, leaders, and significant historic events, but by presenting detailed alphabetical entries that describe the artifacts of medieval Europe. By examining the hidden material culture and by presenting information about topics that few books cover—pottery, locks and keys, shoes, weaving looms, barrels, toys, pets, ink, kitchen utensils, and much more—readers get invaluable insights into the nature of life during that time period and area.
PALLIATIVE IDEOLOGY: THE ROLE OF THE JUSTIFYING BELIEF SYSTEM, BELIEF IN A JUST WORLD AND IDEOLOGY CONSERVATIVE TO SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING OF WORKERS OUTSOURCING
Authors: Istiqomah
Published: March 2024

Someone adopts an ideology because ideology will help psychological needs, interpret and regulate the social world around him. In other words, ideology will help shape the right attitudes, values and societal goals and how to achieve them, so that individuals will be able to understand, predict and even rationalize the rules of society. This study examines the relationship between the system of justifying belief, belief in a just world and conservative ideology on subjective well-being in outsourced workers. A total of 321 outsourced workers currently employed at the company participated in this study. The results showed that the system of justifying belief, belief in a just world and conservative ideology correlated positively and significantly to cognitive subjective well-being aspects. While the affective aspects of subjective well-being were not found to be correlated. This is because the measurement of the affective aspect is more influenced by individual personality. This research indirectly illustrates the palliative function of ideology in helping disadvantaged groups (low economic status) in the face of inequality so that those who are disadvantaged by the system continue to recognize that socio-economic differences are legitimate and fair (support the status quo).

Authors: Winy Nila Wisudawati
Published: March 2024

Teachers are not always sure with their own abilities when teaching, hesitant to take action when they meet students who are considered difficult to direct and need support to communicate student progress to parents. The competence of teachers is based on belief in their own abilities, named self-efficacy. Teacher self-efficacy is the belief that a teacher has ability to teach, manage classes, make decisions, motivate and communicate with students effectively. Objective: describe teacher self-efficacy and to prove differences in teacher self-efficacy levels based on gender of kindergarten teachers in Tangerang, Indonesia. Methods: quantitative research using survey research methods with the non-probability sampling technique of the convenience method. The research subjects (N = 54) were kindergarten teachers. The descriptive statistical test in this study used a comparison between the hypothetical mean scale and the empirical mean. The Crosstabs method to see the relationship between teacher self-efficacy based on gender and the Explore method to determine teachers who have the highest and lowest levels of teacher self-efficacy based on gender. Results: with a measurement scale of 1-7, the hypothetical mean is 4 < 5.3188 the empirical mean of teachers' self-efficacy, shows that kindergarten teachers have a high level of teacher self-efficacy. In addition, Chi-Square = 48,938 with a significance value (p) 0.049 <0.05, shows that there is a significant relationship to the teacher self-efficacy based on the gender of kindergarten teachers in Tangerang. Conclusion: kindergarten teachers at several kindergarten school in Tangerang have a high level of teacher self-efficacy and there is a significant relationship between teacher self-efficacy and gender.

The spread of the COVID-19 epidemic has caused a number of negative impacts such as in terms of mental and physical health issues, performance instability especially among school and university students, job dissatisfaction in doing tasks and completing tasks according to the requirements and time set as well as a decrease in quality live as long as this pandemic happens continuously. Among the objectives of this study is to identify gender and area of residence as not a factor in the interaction of job satisfaction, quality of life, mental health, and academic performance. Second, the study identified the factors of job satisfaction, quality of life, and mental health as predictors of academic performance at the Membakut II National School during the covid-19 pandemic. The selection of the sample for this study uses a random sampling method involving 225 respondents among students from grades one to six at Membakut II Secondary School. The research design is using quantitative methods. The instrument of this study is to use a questionnaire distributed through the Whatsapp application in the form of a Google Form Survey. Data were collected and analyzed using Statistical Package for The Social Science software version 26 (SPSS 26.0) using 2-way manova and multiple regression. This study found that Gender and place of residence are not factors in job satisfaction, quality of life, mental health, and academic performance among Membakut II Middle School students during the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, the regression analysis found that the factors of job satisfaction, quality of life, and mental health are not predictors of academic performance at Sekolah Kebangsaan Membakut II during the covid-19 pandemic recorded as much as 0.17 = p<0.00 and F (3.221) = 9.137. The results of this study need to be emphasized as a guide to ensure that students get satisfaction in terms of work, especially in order to improve academic performance with better quality and maintain physical and mental health during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Authors: Bimantara Marchantya , Karel Karsten Himawan
Published: March 2024

Studies investigating the correlation between secret-keeping tendencies and partner satisfaction are still relatively scarce. This research seeks to identify the extent to which the inclination to keep secrets can influence marital satisfaction, with the role of relationship authenticity in unravelling the complexity of such interactions. This study explores the relationship between secret-keeping tendencies and marital satisfaction, with relationship authenticity as a mediator. The research employed a quantitative, cross-sectional methodology utilizing The Five-Item Preoccupation Scale, Authenticity in Relationships Scale, and Relationship Assessment Scale. The study involved 2,184 individuals (76.1% female) aged 25 years and above, all married. The finding reveals that relationship authenticity partially mediates the relationship between secret-keeping tendencies and marital satisfaction. The results of this study can serve as a reference for enhancing marital satisfaction by reducing the inclination to keep secrets and thereby strengthening the perception of relationship authenticity.

Published: March 2024

O presente artigo aborda os conflitos territoriais enfrentados por comunidades tradicionais, especificamente caiçaras, no litoral norte de São Paulo e sul do Rio de Janeiro. Diante da modernização impulsionada pela expansão mercantil e construção da BR-101, a comunidade caiçara da Vila Oratório em Paraty, enfrentam desafios como roubo de identidade, genocídio cultural e privatização de praias por um condomínio de luxo. Destacando a resistência das comunidades invisíveis perante o poder público e a importância de seus territórios como expressões culturais e modos de subsistência. Com o avanço tecnológico, especialmente Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG), a pesquisa destaca a oportunidade de integrar o conhecimento tradicional à cartografia moderna. O estudo de caso da Vila Oratório culmina na criação de um mapa participativo, ressaltando não apenas a luta contra a segregação espacial, mas a preservação das práticas culturais para as gerações futuras, utilizando tecnologias geoespaciais como ferramenta crucial na visibilização das demandas dessas comunidades tradicionais.
“Empregada doméstica, empregada escrava”: estudo das formas de exploração a partir do trabalho escravo doméstico
Authors: Ribeiro Bezerra Amanda , Dias Rodrigues Sávio José
Published: March 2024

O artigo tem como objetivo discutir sobre a naturalização e invisibilização do trabalho escravo doméstico de meninas e mulheres no Brasil e no Maranhão, a partir do estudo acerca do fenômeno da escravidão contemporânea. Partimos do debate de gênero, que analisa o papel da mulher nas formas de exploração, interseccionando com os estudos das racialidades e de classes sociais. A metodologia adota a pesquisa bibliográfica em torno da compreensão da permanência do trabalho escravo contemporâneo a partir da análise documental na legislação vigente e nos dados reunidos e organizados pela Comissão Pastoral da Terra (CPT). Para discutir situações existentes de trabalho escravo contemporâneo no espaço da casa foram realizadas entrevistas com mulheres trabalhadoras domésticas que denunciaram situações de violências e de trabalho análogo a escravidão. Consideramos que o fenômeno do trabalho escravo feminino, sobretudo o doméstico, dentro da ótica da subalternização, expõe o peso sociocultural do papel da mulher e a naturalização da sua exploração. Em razão do caráter privado da casa, este fenômeno ainda se encontra invisibilizado das discussões geográficas, contribuindo para a continuação do processo que ausenta das pesquisas as situações vividas por mulheres nos espaços domésticos.

Published: March 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o processo de construção territorial de mercados para a Agroecologia a partir das tecnologias sociais produzidas no Núcleo Alto Uruguai da Rede Ecovida de Agroecologia, na região Sul do Brasil. O mercado, entendido em seu sentido amplo, é uma relação social espacializada, marcada, portanto, por intencionalidades e territorialidades convergentes e conflitantes. Assim, a agricultura camponesa e suas organizações necessitam criar mecanismos capazes de possibilitar a comercialização dos produtos e a geração de renda para as famílias agricultoras. Amparada na certificação participativa dos produtos orgânicos, a combinação de diferentes projeções territoriais de mercados em circuitos curtos de comercialização (feiras-livres e entregas à domicílio) e circuitos extrarregionais tem se constituído, no caso pesquisado, como fundamental para o avanço da Agroecologia e do estreitamento das conexões entre produção e consumo, campo e cidade.

Published: March 2024

The purpose of this review paper is to create a piece of one-stop communication about important land zoning and land use, permits and tax guidelines for farmers venturing into agritourism in the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA. It also examines and complements prior studies on the distribution of agritourism in Virginia. A systematic literature review is conducted. Foundational legal prerequisites for agritourism and other emerging factors for the distribution of agritourism in Virginia are identified. Farmers must invest in what they are legally expected of and also learn how best to protect themselves and their business from law infringement before and during agritourism operations. Additionally, the complementary findings of the factors of agritourism distribution can guide farmers strategically in Virginia. This review paper contributes to agritourism literature and demonstrates the relevance of safety and protection against avoidable liability. This article provides excellent grounds to begin conversations with specialists such as attorneys, tax analysts, and insurance companies who can help Virginia farmers assess risk and put their businesses on the best track.
Political Communication as Organizational or Actor-Theoretical Finding in The Communication Between Politicians and Citizens in Social-Media
Authors: TAHIR Ahmad Ismail
Published: March 2024

Political communication as participation of citizens has become even broader due the expansion of communication possibilities with digital media and WEB-2.0, self-generated content in social-media on internet has become even more important for a social science analysis. The research results to date have concentrated on quantitative methods that look at the frequency of political communication and focus on the recipients in analysis. However, it is also important to look at the politicians’ side, as a change of perspective makes comparative research in political communication increasingly possible. A qualitative research was conducted with German local politicians in the district of Herford in form of key question interviews under the research question ‘How do politicians reflect on their political communication in social networks with citizens? The objective was to define communication in order to show whether politicians orientate their communication according to actor or organisation-theory. The analysis of the statements shows that politicians base their content very strongly on party guidelines.

openAMUNDSEN v 0.8.3: an open source snow-hydrological model for mountain regions
Authors: Strasser Ulrich , Warscher Michael , Rottler Erwin , Hanzer Florian
Published: March 2024

Abstract. openAMUNDSEN (= the open source version of the Alpine MUltiscale Numerical Distributed Simulation ENgine) is a fully distributed model, designed primarily for calculating the seasonal evolution of a snow cover and melt rates in mountain regions. It resolves the mass and energy balance of snow covered surfaces and layers of the snowpack beneath, thereby including the most important processes that are relevant in such regions. The potential model applications are very versatile; typically, it is applied in areas ranging from the point scale to the regional scale (i.e., up to some thousands of square kilometers), using a spatial resolution of 10–1000 m and a temporal resolution of 1–3 h or daily. Temporal horizons may vary between single events and climate change scenarios. The openAMUNDSEN model has been applied for manyfold applications already which are referenced herein. It features a spatial interpolation of meteorological observations, several layers of snow with different density and liquid water content, wind-induced lateral redistribution, snow-canopy interaction, glacier ice response to climate and more. The model can be configured according to each specific application case. A basic consideration for its development was to include a variety of process descriptions of different complexity to set up individual model runs which best match a compromise between physical detail, transferability, simplicity as well as performance for a certain region in the European Alps, typically a (preferably gauged) hydrological catchment. The Python model code and example data are available for the public as open source project (Hanzer et al., 2023).
The (non)effect of personalization in climate texts on credibility of climate scientists
Authors: Leerink Anna , Bos Mark , Reijnders Daan , van Sebille Erik
Published: March 2024

Abstract. How we communicate about climate change affects how others think, feel and act. Therefore, the way climate scientists formulate messages is important. In this study, we assess the effect of personalization, operationalized as writing in a conversational style, as previously done by Ginns and Fraser (2010), and perceived credibility of climate scientists. We exposed hundred participants aged between 18 and 35 to three conditions of a text on the climate impact of train versus plane travel, with varying degree of personalization, and assessed the outcome in their attitude (specifically interest and opinion) towards sustainable travel, as well as the perceived credibility of the climate scientist who wrote the text. Results show that there is a small effect in the degree of happiness after reading the different texts, but little other effects. Our main conclusion is that, although personalization may be well received by readers, it may not be the best mode to influence the attitudes of readers towards sustainable travel, nor how readers come to perceive climate scientists' credibility.

Published: March 2024

Abstract. The major bridge linking satellite-derived vertical column densities (VCDs) of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) with ground-level concentration is theoretically the NO2 mixing height (NMH). Various meteorological parameters have been used as a proxy of NMH in existing studies. This study developed a nested machine learning model to convert VCDs of NO2 into ground-level NO2 concentrations across China using Geostationary Environmental Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) measurements. This nested model was designed to directly incorporate NMH into the methodological framework and explore its impact on performance. The inner machine learning model predicted the NMH from the meteorological parameters, which were then input into the main machine learning model to predict the ground-level NO2 concentrations from its VCDs. The inclusion of NMH significantly enhanced the accuracy of estimating ground-level NO2 concentration, reducing bias and improving R² values to 0.93 in 10-fold cross-validation and 0.99 in the fully-trained model. Furthermore, NMH was identified as the second most important predictor variable, following the VCDs of NO2. Subsequently, satellite-derived ground-level NO2 data were analyzed across subregions with varying geolocations and urbanization levels. Highly populated areas typically experienced peak NO2 concentrations during early morning rush hours, whereas areas categorized as lightly populated observed a slight increase in NO2 levels one or two hours later, likely due to regional pollutant dispersion from urban sources. This study underscores the importance of incorporating NMH in estimating ground-level NO2 from satellite column measurements and highlights the significant advantages of geostationary satellites in providing detailed air pollution information at an hourly resolution.
Impact of stochastic physics on the representation of atmospheric blocking in EC-Earth3
Authors: Filippucci Michele , Bordoni Simona , Davini Paolo
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Atmospheric blocking is a synoptic-scale phenomenon that consists in an obstruction of the normal easterly progression of weather patterns in the midlatitudes, leading to persistent atmospheric conditions sometimes associated with extreme weather. State-of-the-art climate models systematically underestimate winter atmospheric blocking frequency, especially over Europe. This is often attributed to a poor representation of small-scale processes that are fundamental for the onset and maintenance of blocking events. Here, we explore how the implementation of two stochastic parameterizations, namely the Stochastically Perturbed Parameterization Tendencies (SPPT) scheme and the Stochastic Kinetic Energy Backscatter (SKEB) scheme, influences the representation of Northern Hemisphere winter blocking in EC-Earth3. Surprisingly, the activation of the two stochastic schemes has detrimental effects on blocking representation. Such deterioration is attributed to changes in the mean winter atmospheric circulation, primarily manifested in a strengthening of the mid-latitude jet stream and an intensification of the Hadley Cell. Ultimately, these circulation differences arise from a modified condensation process in tropical clouds that impacts the tropical stationary eddy activity, which in turn modifies the zonal momentum balance. Our findings reconnect with earlier literature on similar experiments and suggest that the activation of stochastic parameterizations may require a retuning of the model to correct for significant biases in the mean atmospheric circulation.
Production rate calibration for cosmogenic 10Be in pyroxene by applying a rapid fusion method to 10Be-saturated samples from the Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica
Authors: Bergelin Marie , Balco Greg , Corbett Lee B. , Bierman Paul R.
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Measurements of multiple cosmogenic nuclides in a single sample are valuable for various applications of cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating and allow for correcting exposure ages for surface weathering and erosion and establishing exposure-burial history. Here we provide advances in the measurement of cosmogenic 10Be in pyroxene and constraints on the production rate which provide new opportunities for measurements of multi-nuclide systems, such as 10Be/3He, in pyroxene-bearing samples. We extracted and measured cosmogenic 10Be in pyroxene from two sets of Ferrar Dolerite samples collected from the Transantarctic Mountains in Antarctica. One set of samples has 10Be concentrations close to saturation which allows for the production rate calibration of 10Be in pyroxene by assuming production-erosion equilibrium. The other set of samples, which has a more recent exposure history, is used to determine if a rapid fusion method can be successfully applied to samples with Holocene to Last-Glacial-Maximum exposure ages. From measured 10Be concentrations in the near-saturation sample set we find the production rate of 10Be in pyroxene to be 3.74 +/- 0.10 atoms g-1 yr-1 and is consistent with 10Be/3He paired nuclide ratios from samples assumed to have simple exposure. Given the high 10Be concentration measured in this sample set, a sample mass of ~0.5 g of pyroxene is sufficient for the extraction of cosmogenic 10Be from pyroxene using a rapid fusion method. However, for the set of samples having low 10Be concentrations, measured concentrations were higher than expected. We attribute spuriously high 10Be concentration to potential failure in removing all meteoric 10Be and/or a highly variable and poorly quantified measurement background.

Abstract. This paper presents two metazoan zooplankton datasets obtained by imaging samples collected on the Bay of Biscay continental shelf in spring during the PELGAS (PELagique GAScogne) integrated surveys over the 2004–2019 period. The samples were collected at night with a 200 µm mesh-size WP2 net fitted with a Hydrobios (back-run stop) mechanical flowmeter and hauled vertically from the sea floor to the surface, with the maximum depth set at 100 m when the bathymetry was deeper than this. The first dataset originates from samples collected from 2004 to 2016 and imaged on land with the ZooScan and is composed of 1 153 507 imaged and measured objects. The second dataset originates from samples collected from 2016 to 2019 and imaged onboard the R/V Thalassa with the ZooCAM and is composed of 702 111 imaged and measured objects. The imaged objects are composed of zooplankton individuals, zooplankton pieces, non-living particles and imaging artefacts ranging from 300 µm to 3.39 mm in equivalent spherical diameter which were individually imaged, measured and identified. Each imaged object is geolocated and associated with a station, a survey, a year and other metadata. Each object is described by a set of morphological and grey-level-based features (8 bit encoding, 0 = black, 255 = white), including size, that were automatically extracted from each individual image. Each object was taxonomically identified using the web-based application Ecotaxa with built-in random-forest and CNN-based semi-automatic sorting tools, which was followed by expert validation or correction. The objects were sorted into 172 taxonomic and morphological groups. Each dataset features a table combining metadata and data at individual-object granularity from which one can easily derive quantitative population and community descriptors such as abundances, mean sizes, biovolumes, biomasses and size structure. Each object's individual image is provided along with the data. These two datasets can be used in combination for ecological studies, as the two instruments are interoperable, or they can be used as training sets for ZooScan and ZooCAM users. The data presented here are available at the SEANOE dataportal: https://doi.org/10.17882/94052 (ZooScan dataset, Grandremy et al., 2023c) and https://doi.org/10.17882/94040 (ZooCAM dataset, Grandremy et al., 2023d).

Abstract. Geographical features may have a considerable effect on local climate. The local climate zone (LCZ) system proposed by Stewart and Oke (2012) is nowadays seen as a standard approach for classifying any zone according to a set of urban canopy parameters. While many methods already exist to map the LCZ, only few tools are openly and freely available. This paper presents the algorithm implemented in the GeoClimate software to identify the LCZ of any place in the world based on vector data. Six types of information are needed as input: the building footprint, road and rail networks, water, vegetation, and impervious surfaces. First, the territory is partitioned into reference spatial units (RSUs) using the road and rail network, as well as the boundaries of large vegetation and water patches. Then 14 urban canopy parameters are calculated for each RSU. Their values are used to classify each unit to a given LCZ type according to a set of rules. GeoClimate can automatically prepare the inputs and calculate the LCZ for two datasets, namely OpenStreetMap (OSM, available worldwide) and the BD TOPO® v2.2 (BDT, a French dataset produced by the national mapping agency). The LCZ are calculated for 22 French communes using these two datasets in order to evaluate the effect of the dataset on the results. About 55 % of all areas have obtained the same LCZ type, with large differences when differentiating this result by city (from 30 % to 82 %). The agreement is good for large patches of forest and water, as well as for compact mid-rise and open low-rise LCZ types. It is lower for open mid-rise and open high-rise, mainly due to the height underestimation of OSM buildings located in open areas. Through its simplicity of use, GeoClimate has great potential for new collaboration in the LCZ field. The software (and its source code) used to produce the LCZ data is freely available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6372337 (Bocher et al., 2022); the scripts and data used for the purpose of this article can be freely accessed at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7687911 (Bernard et al., 2023) and are based on the R package available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7646866 (Gousseff, 2023).
Modelling water isotopologues (1H2H16O, 1H217O) in the coupled numerical climate model iLOVECLIM (version 1.1.5)

Abstract. Stable water isotopes are used to infer changes in the hydrological cycle for different climate periods and various climatic archives. Following previous developments of δ18O in the coupled climate model of intermediate complexity, iLOVECLIM, we present here the implementation of the 1H2H16O and 1H217O water isotopes in the different components of this model and calculate the associated secondary markers deuterium excess (d-excess) and oxygen-17 excess (17O-excess) in the atmosphere and ocean. So far, the latter has only been modelled by the atmospheric model LMDZ4. Results of a 5000-year equilibrium simulation under preindustrial conditions are analysed and compared to observations and several isotope-enabled models for the atmosphere and ocean components. In the atmospheric component, the model correctly reproduces the first-order global distribution of the δ2H and d-excess as observed in the data (R=0.56 for δ2H and 0.36 for d-excess), even if local differences are observed. The model–data correlation is within the range of other water-isotope-enabled general circulation models. The main isotopic effects and the latitudinal gradient are properly modelled, similarly to previous water-isotope-enabled general circulation model simulations, despite a simplified atmospheric component in iLOVECLIM. One exception is observed in Antarctica where the model does not correctly estimate the water isotope composition, a consequence of the non-conservative behaviour of the advection scheme at a very low moisture content. The modelled 17O-excess presents a too-important dispersion of the values in comparison to the observations and is not correctly reproduced in the model, mainly because of the complex processes involved in the 17O-excess isotopic value. For the ocean, the model simulates an adequate isotopic ratio in comparison to the observations, except for local areas such as the surface of the Arabian Sea, a part of the Arctic and the western equatorial Indian Ocean. Data–model evaluation also presents a good match for the δ2H over the entire water column in the Atlantic Ocean, reflecting the influence of the different water masses.
Phytoplankton retention mechanisms in estuaries: a case study of the Elbe estuary
Authors: Steidle Laurin , Vennell Ross
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Due to their role as primary producers, phytoplankton are essential to the productivity of estuarine ecosystems. However, it is important to understand how these nearly passive organisms are able to persist within estuaries when river inflow results in a net outflow to the ocean. Estuaries also represent challenging habitats due to a strong salinity gradient. Little is known about how phytoplankton are able to be retained within estuaries. We present a new individual-based Lagrangian model of the Elbe estuary which examines possible retention mechanisms for phytoplankton. Specifically, we investigated how reproduction, sinking and rising, and diel vertical migration may allow populations to persist within the estuary. We find that vertical migration, especially rising, favors retention, while fast sinking does not. We further provide first estimates of outwashing losses. Our simulations illustrate that riverbanks and tidal flats are essential for the long-term survival of phytoplankton populations, as they provide refuges from strong downstream currents. These results contribute to the understanding needed to advance the ecosystem-based management of estuaries.
