Teacher-Directed Collaborative Action Research as a Mediating Tool for Professional Learning in Rural Contexts
Authors:   Brandon University, Skyhar Candy
Published: October 2022

Through a single-case study design, the research study described in this article examined one rural Canadian school divisionâ€™s use of teacher-directed collaborative action research as a mediating tool for teacher learning within a professional development (PD) initiative known as the Numeracy Cohort. The PD initiative brought together a dozen K-12 teachers from across a very small (but geographically distanced) school division in Manitoba, Canada. In addition to learning about several strategies for teaching mathematics and improving student numeracy skills, the teachers in the Numeracy Cohort engaged in collaborative action research projects, designing materials and implementing new strategies in their unique, often multi-grade, rural classrooms. In addition to the changes and improvements noticed by teachers through their collaborative action research, findings from the study illustrated several strengths of teacher-directed collaborative action research, including the autonomy it afforded teachers to engage in work directly related to their classroom contexts, its ability to foster collaboration between colleagues, and its ability to build connections across schools within a diverse rural context. Findings from the study also suggested that consideration should be given to both ways of supporting the action research process, and the complexities of leadership in rural settings if teacher-directed collaborative action research is to be used as a mediating tool for learning.
Home-School Cooperation in Rural Kindergartens: A Survey Study with Chinese Kindergarten Teachers
Authors:   Changchun Normal University, Zhang Nini , Yu Dongqing ,   Northeast Normal University, Guo Karen ,   Deakin University
Published: October 2022

Home-school cooperation in children’s education is complex. It could be even more complex in rural contexts, due to the potential contributions of isolated location, insufficient resources, a lack of teachers’ professional competence, parental absence or parents’ limited understandings about education. A questionnaire survey was designed to explore the views of 1526 Chinese rural kindergarten teachers on home-kindergarten cooperation. The purposes of the study were to analyse 1) how the rural teachers perceived and experienced home-kindergarten cooperation; 2) what personal and professional factors influenced teachers’ perspectives and experiences; and 3) similarities and differences of teachers’ views. Two results emerged from the study. Firstly, common themes concerning teachers’ regular communications with parents were identified. Secondly, it is also the case that home-school cooperation was subjected to limited cooperative activities and a lack of organisational structures in the kindergartens. The study concludes with a discussion of some implications of the positive and challenging factors for encouraging cooperative home-school relationships in rural kindergartens.

Published: October 2022

This exploratory study investigates aspects of sleep quality and some of the potential impacts that sleep complaints for 168 male boarding students from regional and remote communities in Years 7 to 12. An online self-report questionnaire was used to examine the relationship between sleep quality and participants sense of academic self-perception, motivation and regulation, resilience, as well as indicators of non-specific psychological distress, life satisfaction, behavioural and emotional wellbeing. Results found general parity between participants overall scores for sleep quality and norms on the sleep/wake problems scale. However, it emerged that over the previous seven days only a small proportion of participants were satisfied with their sleep every night, with the majority reporting feeling tired or sleepy during the day. This and other findings are discussed in relation to current national sleep recommendations for adolescents, as well as with consideration to the promotion of healthy adolescent development and optimal academic performance, behavioural and cognitive functioning, and emotional regulation. Implications for boarding school routines are discussed with an emphasis on time allocated to sleep, and actual time spent asleep, by adolescent boarders. Strengths and limitations of this study are presented.

Published: October 2022

Introduction. In landscape fires, the question of the nature and character of the formed organic substances remains unexplored. The method of gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC-MS) has long been used in environmental analysis to identify organic compounds in complex multicomponent mixtures. Depending on the volatility and polarity of the components of organic compounds, air sampling is carried out on a solid sorbent, liquid absorber, fiber filter. The purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive procedure for the identification of organic compounds by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with sampling into different absorption media. Materials and methods. The studies were carried out in laboratory conditions specially created in the smoldering plant, seed chamber, chemical-analytical equipment. Biomass consisting of forest litter was used as a fuel substrate: moss, lichen, tree litter, branches, pieces of bark. An Agilent 5975 gas chromatography-mass spectrometer was used for GC-MS identification. An aspirator, a gas pipette, a Richter absorber with distilled water, and an AFA-HP-20 fiber filter were used to select the air medium. Sample preparation of concentrated air was carried out using microfibre “85 microns Carboxen/PDMS”, thermostat, vials for vapor phase analysis, ultrasonic bath, derivatizing reagent - o-pentafluorobenzylhydroxylamine, hexane. Results. A proposed complex procedure includes sampling into different absorption media, various sample preparation options. Extraction of organic compounds from absorption media was carried out by methods of solid-phase microextraction, derivatization, and liquid extraction. Volatile organic compounds were extracted from a gas bulb by the method of solid-phase microextraction on microfibre“85 microns Carboxen/PDMS”. Aldehydes and ketones were found in distilled water due to the derivatization of o-pentafluorobenzylhydroxylamine. Semi-volatile compounds were detected on the AFA-HP-20 filter due to liquid extraction in ultrasound. Limitations. The limitations of the study are related to the need to select the products of decay of a sample of forest litter under model conditions. Conclusion. The identification results showed that the following classes of substances released into the air during the burning of forest litter are present in the maximum amount: aldehydes, phenols, terpenes. The coefficient of coincidence of mass spectra also confirmed by the coincidence of experimental and library retention indices also confirmed by the coincidence of experimental and library retention indices is more than 90%.

A cardio-cerebral coagulation dilemma

A 77-year-old patient with permanent atrial fibrillation and mechanical heart valves on a treatment with fenprocoumon developed a subdural hematoma after an in-hospital fall. The initially successful burr-hole trepanation was followed by an expanding contralateral subdural hematoma with midline shift 36 hours later. Because of the prior cognitive and functional decline with recurrent falls and an irreconcilable dilemma between the need for thrombo-embolic prevention with adequate anticoagulation and the need for neuroprotection with normal clotting times, the prognosis was considered to be poor. A multidisciplinary decision was made offering the best supportive care without further neurosurgical treatment.
The Unit-effect Normalisation in Set-identified Structural Vector Autoregressions
Authors:   Reserve Bank of Australia, Read Matthew
Published: October 2022

Structural vector autoregressions that are set identified (e.g. with sign restrictions) are typically used to analyse the effects of standard deviation shocks. However, answering questions of economic interest often requires knowing the effects of a 'unit' shock. For example, central bankers want to answer questions like 'what are the effects of a 100 basis point increase in the policy rate?' The problem is that set-identifying restrictions do not always rule out the possibility that a variable does not react contemporaneously to its own shock. As a consequence, identified sets for the impulse responses to unit shocks may be unbounded, which implies that set-identifying restrictions may be extremely uninformative. Simply assuming that responses are non-zero turns out to be an arbitrary and unsatisfactory solution. I argue that it is therefore important to communicate about the extent to which the identified set may be unbounded, since this tells us about the informativeness of the identifying restrictions, and I develop tools to facilitate this. I explain how to draw useful posterior inferences about impulse responses when identified sets are unbounded with positive probability. I illustrate the empirical relevance of these issues by estimating the response of US output to a 100 basis point federal funds rate shock under different sets of identifying restrictions. Some restrictions are very uninformative about the effects of a 100 basis point shock. The output responses I obtain under a rich set of identifying restrictions lie towards the smaller end of the range of existing estimates.

The people of the solution and the contract are the elite who rose up in politics, controlled its aspects and corrected its crookedness. They are the ones who took the initiative in evaluating the performance of the ruler and removing him if necessary. They are the ones who pledge allegiance to him, and they are the ones who renew the pledge of allegiance to his crown prince and they are the ones who take upon themselves the care of the nation’s interests and they do not deviate from that. They are the ones who are followed in the nation, who possess its trust and approval for what they are known for of piety, justice, sincerity, integrity, good opinion, knowledge of matters and concern for the nation’s interests. society, ensuring its safety, protecting its stability, preserving its egg, and protecting it from any corruption that may occur to it, starting from the ruler to the ruled; Therefore, this system has created for us a group of people of solution and contract who are like a lifeline and lifeboat in the shadow of the seas of temptation that surround the nation and the eyes of the enemies that lurk in it and await its downfall.

Praise be to God, creator of the universes, creator of man, great in affair and benevolence, prayers and peace be upon the last of the prophets and messengers, the truthful Muhammad, his good and pure family, and upon those who followed his guidance in goodness until the Day of Judgment. Immemorially, man has realized that he cannot communicate with others in what is going on in his mind except by linking the utterance with the meaning that he wants to express. This realization has developed gradually to be precise and specific frameworks which attracted the attention of the language scientists in a way discovering the secrets and explaining the relationships and links among their parts. Thus, the science of grammari is based on the utterance and the meaning together. Accordingly, we studied the integrity of meaning in the light of modern linguistic approaches. The research includes a preface entitled: “The concept of meaning in ancients and modernists”. It also has six axises, the title of the first: the descriptive approach in the integrity of meaning, the second: the functional approach in the integrity of meaning, the third: the normative approach in the integrity of meaning, the fourth: the transformative and generative approach in the integrity of meaning, the fifth: the contrastive approach between Arabic and English in the integrity of the meaning, and the last one was: the deliberative approach in the integrity of the meaning. We concluded the research with a set of results mentioned in the conclusion.

Authors: Amin Sadia Nur , Shivakumara Palaiahnakote , Jun Tang Xue , Chong Kai Yang , Zan Dillon Leong Lon , Rahavendra Ramachandra
Published: October 2022

The food industry is becoming competitive on a daily basis and introducing newer cuisines to the menu in an attempt to rise up the ladder. But they still are not being able to improve their performances because customers often only have the waiters to describe the dishes to them and thus, most of the time results in not fulfilling their expectations. Thus, to allow the customers to visualize their orders more informatively, this paper presents an android application that overlays digital three-dimensional (3D) food models onto a quick responsible (QR) code image marker on a food menu using augmented reality (AR) technology through the camera of the system. Moreover, the price and a detailed list of the ingredients used to prepare the dish, along with the nutritional and calorie content, will also appear beside the 3D food model to keep the customers completely informed of what they will be ordering. This work focused on designing the 3D food models in the Blender 3D tool, which were then imported into the Unity 3D application with the Vuforia software development kit preinstalled, and Figma has been utilized for designing the user interface of the system. The study’s outcome is an AR application that provides the customer with a more engaging approach to visualize the dishes in 3D form, which can improve customer sales and restaurant loyalty.

Authors: Das Bishnu Ram , Kakoti Gitali , Chetri Mandira , Biswanath Pranabjit
Published: October 2022

PurposeJapanese encephalitis (JE) has emerged as a major public health concern in North East India due to its complex eco-epidemiological risk factors. The objective of this study was to understand the various risk factors associated with JE infection in the endemic study location.Methods A hospital-based case-control study was conducted at Jorhat Medical College and Hospital from August 2017 to September 2018. The study participants included 49 confirmed JE cases with two control arms, one consisting of non-JE acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) patients (n = 91) and the other of non-JE non-AES patients (n = 140), admitted at the same time in the pediatric and medicine wards. A predesigned, pretested, structured questionnaire was used for data collection. ResultsUnivariate analysis revealed the following to be risk factors: age at onset, sex, religion, immunization status, proximity to pigs, proximity to paddy fields (<100 m), use of a mosquito net, impregnated mosquito net, mosquito repellent, and outdoor activities. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified age at onset (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 20.900; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.210–31.815) and proximity to pigs (AOR, 4.190; 95% CI, 1.592–11.040) as risk factors for the first control arm and proximity to paddy fields (<100 m) (AOR, 8.470; 95% CI, 2.0251–35.438) was the only risk factor found for second control arm, whereas impregnated mosquito nets (AOR, 0.082; 95% CI, 0.009–0.725) and mosquito repellent (AOR, 0.173; 95% CI, 0.052–0.575) were found to be associated with the second control arm.ConclusionAge at onset, proximity to pigs, proximity to paddy fields (<100 m), impregnated mosquito nets, and mosquito repellent were the most significant risk factors for JE in the NE region to warrant public health actions.

New evidence for a Roman military camp at Virunum (Noricum): Th e garrison of the governor’s guard (singulares)?
Authors:   Institut für Kulturgeschichte der Antike, ÖAW, Wien, Gugl Christian , Neubauer Wolfgang ,   LBI ArchPro, Wien, Nau Erich ,   LBI ArchPro, Wien, Jernej Renate ,   HistArC, Klagenfurt
Published: October 2022

Since the year 2001, aerial photographs have indicated a densely built-up zone to the east of the Roman town of Virunum (near Klagenfurt, Carinthia, Austria), the capital of the province of Noricum. The visible crop marks have been interpreted as a Roman military camp. The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology (LBI ArchPro) conducted an initial ground penetrating radar survey on November 19, 2013, in order to gather further information regarding the close proximity of a military installation to the civilian town. An area of 2.56 ha was surveyed using a motorized high resolution MIRA ground penetrating radar array from Malå Geoscience. In the northern part of the plot, numerous building structures are visible, obviously from Roman times, which were situated within a walled-in area. A gateway was located on the south side of this enclosed zone. The forested western and northern sides of this enclosure seem to coincide with the modern land division. Three long rectangular structures, which appear to be Roman military barracks with double chambers and so-called “Kopfbauten” (habitation area for the officers), are a key for the interpretation of the entire complex. Another densely occupied area is located to the south of the enclosure and was probably inhabited by civilians. These new GPR data clearly provides novel insights in the manner Roman troops were housed at the governor’s seat of Noricum.
The seventeenth century noble residence from Cetatea de Baltă. Observations regarding the architecture of rounded corner towers castles in Transylvania.
Authors:   Independent researcher, arhitect, Cosnean Nistor Letiția
Published: October 2022

The article presents an architectural analysis of the seventeenth century noble residence from Cetatea de Baltă (Hu: Kükülövár), introducing it in the context of similarly shaped noble residences from Bahnea (Hu: Bonyha), Ozd (Hu: Magyarózd) and Ţopa (Hu: Kisbún), residences with a compact central building, framed by four rounded (or polygonal) corner towers. A comparative view of the seventeenth century architectural features of these residences has allowed us to identify a possible use of the eastern corner towers for accommodating the court chapel, and in the same time to understand better the possible influences and connections in building noble residences in the seventeenth century Transylvania. The origin of this model has been already argued to have a French parentage, and this article brings forward illustrated engravings showing this type of residence in sixteenth century architectural treatises published by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, but the closer Central European influences are also discussed as a result of craftsmen and architects coming to work in Transylvania under princely patronage from the neighbouring provinces.
The historic renovations of the Protestant church in Viştea (Cluj county)
Authors:   Independent researcher, Budapest, Szabó Tekla
Published: October 2022

The study is based on written documents, surveys, historical replicas and plans concerning the restoration and extension of the Reformed Church in Viştea. The presented case documents the monuments protection bodies in Hungary and also Romania after 1919. It provides an overview of the principles of restoration, which diff er from those laid down later in the Venice Charter. In 1910, the medieval church was not considered valuable enough to be declared a historical monument and restored as such. The church was saved by the discovery of its medieval frescoes (1912), which attracted the attention of the National Committee for Historic Monuments (MOB). Th e murals were unveiled and copied in 1913. The architect in charge, Ottó Sztehlo, made a drastic expansion plan of the building, which ultimately was not accomplished. At the beginning of the second decade of the last century the demolition of the building was decided upon. The case was brought to public attention by Károly Kós, who was later the author of two extension plans for the church, in 1922 and 1956. In the end the extensions were not carried out, just like the modern restoration planned in the 1970s and abandoned as well. Recently, public attention was drawn to the restoration completed in 2008, when two scenes were uncovered and preserved. The surprise was the discovery of an unknown fresco layer, half a century older than the one known from the historical copies (dated to the last third of the 14th century). In November 2013 excavations took place to establish the cause of the cracks that had appeared on the exterior walls of the building. The excavation revealed the semi-circular wall of a former church. This, in the opinion of the archaeologists, could have had a quadrilobed layout. The conservation works included the construction of a new drainage system and the partial removing of the cement plaster and mortar of the walls.
Architectural details and monumental buildings at Borysthenes
Authors:   The Institute of Archaeology, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Bujskikh Alla , Chistov Dimitrii ,   The State Hermitage Museum, Sankt-Petersburg, Russian Federation
Published: October 2022

Borysthenes encompasses a small number of sites belonging to the period of Greek colonization of the Black Sea region, where monumental buildings with architectural decoration appeared during the 6th century BC. Specific order details are cut from stone; architectural terracotta, imported from Miletus, was also found. They are connected through their common stylistic identity with the Asia Minor architectural school of the Ionic order. These details are attested mainly as constructive parts of monumental altars, and less so as possible parts of temples and other public buildings. The excavations from the last decades permitted to conclude on the existence of the temenos and the public centre included in the regular city plan from the second half of the 6th century BC at Borysthenes. Correlation of architectural details and monumental buildings is still under discussion.

Published: October 2022

In the last twenty years the Greek Ministry of Culture, funded by the European programmes of the 3rd CSF and the NSRF, has realised large-scale preservation, conservation and enhancement projects on important monuments and archaeological sites all around Greece. Among them there acquire significant position those that belong to the period of classical antiquity because they are often in ruined conditions, and they have a structure of large blocks unbound by any mortar; in addition, these monuments, scattered all around the country, comprise a large number in need of intervention. These interventions follow, on the one hand, the guidelines set by international statutory provisions, such as the Venice Charter, and on the other, the methodology developed by the Committee for the Conservation of the Acropolis Monuments as far back as 1975. The unique character of every monument however defines the final result. The article focuses on typical restoration works carried out on important archaeological sites in Greece, such as the Epidaurus complex, Apollo Epikourios and the monuments of the Lindos Acropolis, whereas the project of restoring the Acropolis monuments plays a pivotal role in the discussion.

Published: October 2022

Este artigo é um recorte de uma pesquisa oriunda de uma pesquisa do Programa de Iniciação à Pesquisa (PIBIC) que traz para a discussão a pandemia, a educação e a deficiência, por meio das narrativas de pais e professores, sobretudo, no que se refere ao modo como estes estão se organizando para atender ao público-alvo da educação especial. Logo, o questionamento que orienta o estudo é: O que narram pais e professores de alunos com deficiência sobre a educação escolar durante a pandemia? Assim, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar as narrativas de pais e professores sobre a educação de alunos com deficiência durante a pandemia. Para tanto, optamos por uma abordagem qualitativa, pela via da pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de campo. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de análise de documentos e um questionário on-line através da plataforma Google Forms com vinte participantes, sendo dez professoras e dez pais de crianças com deficiência, que são oriundas de escolas públicas e privadas do município de Maceió, Arapiraca e municípios adjacentes do agreste alagoano. Os resultados desta pesquisa revelam os desafios dos professores no uso das ferramentas tecnológicas, bem como as dificuldades em readaptar os conteúdos pedagógicos para que os alunos com deficiência possam ter acesso às aulas e, ainda, os impasses que tanto professores quanto os pais estão enfrentando para fazer com que as crianças concentrem-se por um longo tempo nas aulas remotas. Assim, concluímos que tanto a escola quanto a família precisam redimensionar seus papéis frente aos impactos que as novas rotinas de estudo, trabalho e relações sociais estão provocando na vida das crianças que apresentam deficiência.

Abstract. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding single-stranded RNA molecules of about
19–25 nucleotides in length that regulate different biological processes,
including lipid metabolism. In this study, we explored the effect of
bta-miR-33a on lipid metabolism in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs)
of Chinese Holstein for the first time. For this purpose, the plasmids of
bta-miR-33a mimic, bta-miR-33a inhibitor and bta-miR-33a negative control
were constructed to overexpress or repress bta-miR-33a in BMECs. The effects of
plasmid transfection were analysed by examining the mRNA and protein
expression levels of ELOVL6 and the intracellular triglycerides. The results
showed that bta-miR-33a directly inhibited the expression of ELOVL6 in BMECs;
decreased the mRNA levels of ELOVL5, HACD2, CPT1A and MSMO1; and increased the mRNA level of ALOX15.
Sequence bta-miR-33a also increased the contents of triglycerides in the cells,
presumably as a consequence of these gene expression changes. In summary,
the results of the present study suggest that bta-miR-33a regulates lipid
metabolism by targeting ELOVL6, which might be a potential molecular marker of
milk fat composition.

Abstract. Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) and ozone-depleting substance, whose atmospheric abundance has risen throughout the contemporary record. In this work, we carry out the first global hierarchical Bayesian inversion to solve for nitrous oxide emissions, which includes prior emissions with truncated Gaussian distributions and Gaussian model errors, in order to examine the drivers of the atmospheric surface growth rate. We show that both emissions and climatic variability are key drivers of variations in the surface nitrous oxide growth rate between 2011 and 2020. We derive increasing global nitrous oxide emissions, which are mainly driven by emissions between 0 and 30∘ N, with the highest emissions recorded in 2020. Our mean global total emissions for 2011–2020 of 17.2 (16.7–17.7 at the 95 % credible intervals) Tg N yr−1, comprising of 12.0 (11.2–12.8) Tg N yr−1 from land and 5.2 (4.5–5.9) Tg N yr−1 from ocean, agrees well with previous studies, but we find that emissions are poorly constrained for some regions of the world, particularly for the oceans. The prior emissions used in this and other previous work exhibit a seasonal cycle in the extra-tropical Northern Hemisphere that is out of phase with the posterior solution, and there is a substantial zonal redistribution of emissions from the prior to the posterior. Correctly characterizing the uncertainties in the system, for example in the prior emission fields, is crucial for deriving posterior fluxes that are consistent with observations. In this hierarchical inversion, the model-measurement discrepancy and the prior flux uncertainty are informed by the data, rather than solely through “expert judgement”. We show cases where this framework provides different plausible adjustments to the prior fluxes compared to inversions using widely adopted, fixed uncertainty constraints.
An improved vertical correction method for the inter-comparison and inter-validation of integrated water vapour measurements
Authors: Bock Olivier , Bosser Pierre , Mears Carl
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Integrated water vapour (IWV) measurements from similar
or different techniques are often inter-compared for calibration and
validation purposes. Results are usually assessed in terms of bias
(difference of the means), standard deviation of the differences, and linear
fit slope and offset (intercept) estimates. When the instruments are located
at different elevations, a correction must be applied to account for the
vertical displacement between the sites. Empirical formulations are
traditionally used for this correction. In this paper we show that the
widely used correction model based on a standard, exponential, profile for
water vapour cannot properly correct the bias, slope, and offset parameters
simultaneously. Correcting the bias with this model degrades the slope and
offset estimates and vice versa. This paper proposes an improved correction
method that overcomes these limitations. It implements a multiple linear
regression method where the slope and offset parameters are provided from a
radiosonde climatology. It is able to predict monthly mean IWVs with a bias
smaller than 0.1 kg m−2 and a root-mean-square error smaller than 0.5 kg m−2 for height differences up to 500 m. The method is applied to the
inter-comparison of GPS IWV data in a tropical mountainous area and to the
inter-validation of GPS and satellite microwave radiometer data. This paper
also emphasizes the need for using a slope and offset regression method that
accounts for errors in both variables and for correctly specifying these
errors.
Canadian forest fires, Icelandic volcanoes and increased local dust observed in six shallow Greenland firn cores

Published: October 2022

Abstract. Greenland ice cores provide information about past climate. Few impurity
records covering the past 2 decades exist from Greenland. Here we present
results from six firn cores obtained during a 426 km long northern Greenland traverse made in 2015 between the NEEM and the EGRIP deep-drilling stations situated on the western side and eastern side of the Greenland ice sheet, respectively. The cores (9 to 14 m long) are analyzed for chemical impurities and cover time spans of 18 to 53 years (±3 years) depending on local snow accumulation that decreases from west to east. The high temporal resolution allows for annual layers and seasons to be
resolved. Insoluble dust, ammonium, and calcium concentrations in the six firn cores overlap, and the seasonal cycles are also similar in timing and
magnitude across sites, while peroxide (H2O2) and conductivity
both have spatial variations, H2O2 driven by the accumulation
pattern, and conductivity likely influenced by sea salt. Overall, we determine a rather constant dust flux over the period, but in
the data from recent years (1998–2015) we identify an increase in large dust particles that we ascribe to an activation of local Greenland sources. We observe an expected increase in acidity and conductivity in the mid-1970s as a result of anthropogenic emissions, followed by a decrease due to mitigation. Several volcanic horizons identified in the conductivity and acidity records can be associated with eruptions in Iceland and in the Barents Sea region. From a composite ammonium record we obtain a robust forest fire proxy associated primarily with Canadian forest fires (R=0.49).
To what extent does river routing matter in hydrological modeling?
Authors: Cortés-Salazar Nicolás , Vásquez Nicolás , Mizukami Naoki , Mendoza Pablo , Vargas Ximena
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Spatially-distributed hydrology and land surface models are typically applied in combination with river routing schemes that convert instantaneous runoff into streamflow. Nevertheless, the development of such schemes has been somehow disconnected from hydrologic model calibration research, although both seek to achieve more realistic streamflow simulations. In this paper, we seek to bridge this gap to understand the extent to which the configuration of routing schemes affects hydrologic model calibration results in water resources applications. To this end, we configure the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model, coupled with the mizuRoute routing model in the Cautín River basin (2770 km2), Chile. We use the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) method to generate 3500 different VIC model parameters sets, for which basin-averaged runoff estimates are obtained directly (no routing case), and subsequently compared against outputs from four routing schemes (Unit Hydrograph, Lagrangian Kinematic Wave, Muskingum-Cunge and Diffusive Wave) applied with five different routing time steps (1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours). The results show that incorporating routing schemes may alter streamflow simulations at sub-daily, daily and even monthly time scales. The maximum Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) obtained for daily streamflow increases from 0.73 (no routing) to 0.82 (for the best scheme), and such improvements do not depend on the routing time step. Moreover, the optimal parameter sets may differ depending on the routing scheme configuration, affecting the baseflow contribution to total runoff. Including routing models decreases streamflow values in frequency curves and lowers the segment with high discharge values in the flow duration curve (compared to the case without routing). More generally, the results presented here highlight the potential impacts of river routing implementations on water resources applications that involve hydrologic models and, in particular, parameter calibration.
Automated snow avalanche release area delineation in data-sparse, remote, and forested regions
Authors: Sykes John , Haegeli Pascal , Bühler Yves
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Potential avalanche release area (PRA) modeling is critical for
generating automated avalanche terrain maps which provide low-cost, large-scale spatial representations of snow avalanche hazard for both
infrastructure planning and recreational applications. Current methods are
not applicable in mountainous terrain where high-resolution (≤5 m)
elevation models are unavailable and do not include an efficient method to
account for avalanche release in forested terrain. This research focuses on
expanding an existing PRA model to better incorporate forested terrain using
satellite imagery and presents a novel approach for validating the model
using local expertise, thereby broadening its application to numerous
mountain ranges worldwide. The study area of this research is a remote
portion of the Columbia Mountains in southeastern British Columbia, Canada,
which has no pre-existing high-resolution spatial datasets. Our research
documents an open-source workflow to generate high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) and forest
land cover datasets using optical satellite data processing. We validate
the PRA model by collecting a polygon dataset of observed potential release
areas from local guides, using a method which accounts for the uncertainty
in human recollection and variability in avalanche release. The validation
dataset allows us to perform a quantitative analysis of the PRA model
accuracy and optimize the PRA model input parameters to the snowpack and
terrain characteristics of our study area. Compared to the original PRA
model our implementation of forested terrain and local optimization improved the percentage of validation polygons accurately modeled by 11.7 percentage points and reduced the number of validation polygons that were
underestimated by 14.8 percentage points. Our methods demonstrate
substantial improvement in the performance of the PRA model in forested
terrain and provide means to generate the requisite input datasets and
validation data to apply and evaluate the PRA model in vastly more
mountainous regions worldwide than was previously possible.
