Case Report: Safe Tourniquet Removal in Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) Bites
Authors: Pelle Ratang Pholosho , Engelbrecht Andreas , Lalloo Vidya
Published: November 2021

The black mamba is known for its notorious potent neurotoxic venom. For this reason, their bites are often erroneously treated in the field with the application of a tourniquet in the hope of delaying systemic spread of the venom. Observational studies have shown that inappropriate tourniquet application is a common, harmful practice. An arterial tourniquet is not a recommended first aid measure because of the risk of limb ischemia and gangrene. When inappropriately applied, the rapid removal of the tourniquet in the emergency department may precipitate a life-threatening venom and metabolic toxin rush, leading to respiratory arrest. We present two cases of black mamba bites in Gauteng, South Africa, where gradual tourniquet removal was used to avoid a venom rush and rapid respiratory paralysis. Venom and metabolic toxin rush with potentially fatal respiratory muscle paralysis may be averted by gradual, cautious removal of field-applied tourniquets with concomitant antivenom administration.
Functional Regions as Bases for Provinces in Slovenia
Authors: Drobne Samo , Brezovnik Boštjan
Published: November 2021

Socio-economically based functional regions, which are partially self-contained economic areas, are often more suitable for various structural analyses, implementation of state and regional policies, development of state administration, planning and monitoring of spatial development, identification of spatial disparities and other analyses of socio-economic relations than the traditional historically and geographically based administrative regions. This article therefore examines the assumption that functional regions are a suitable basis for the formation of territorial provinces in Slovenia. We have modelled the functional regions of Slovenia according to the established and internationally accepted method CURDS and compared them with the current proposals for provinces and established statistical regions in Slovenia. The results show a very strong functional contiguity and a good economic balance of eight provinces and a very good population balance of the provinces with two special status urban municipalities.

Published: November 2021

The purpose of this study is to identify existing policies related to social protection of healthcare workers during the spread of a pandemic. The study is based on the assumption that it is mainly developing countries that resort to extensive government programs. Using the method of political and legal analysis the research considers the initiatives of government bodies aimed at increasing the level of social protection of health workers and determining effective incentive measures for medical workers. The study notes that to date incentive measures and government programs are mostly implemented by developing countries. At the same time, it seems premature today to make a final conclusion about the direct relationship between incentive measures and the standard of living in the country or similar indicators. The research results can be used by the subjects of legislative initiative to improve existing policies in the field of social protection.

O objeto deste estudo foi a vida depois do diagnóstico da soro positividade  para o  HIV e os objetivos foram descrever  a naturalização da infecção pelo HIV como estratégia de enfrentamento da síndrome e as mudanças positivas e negativas trazidas por este diagnóstico. Método: Entrevistas com 49 pessoas que vivem com HIV (PVHIV). Análise de dados pela técnica de análise de conteúdo lexical, com auxílio do software Iramuteq 0.7 alpha 2 .  Resultados: A vida depois do diagnóstico, traz a naturalização da síndrome como forma de enfrentamento e as mudanças positivas permeiam o auto cuidado, traduzido pelo aumento da auto estima e adoção de hábitos de vida mais saudáveis, entretanto existem  também mudanças identificadas como negativas no cotidiano de PVHIV como o preconceito. Conclusão: Os resultados mostram que viver com HIV oscila entre a naturalização da síndrome em busca de uma vida dita normal, convivendo com algumas mudanças principalmente no que tange ao melhor cuidado com a própria saúde, traduzido por mudanças de hábitos e adesão a terapia medicamentosa bem como o enfrentamento de mudanças negativas traduzidas por medo do preconceito e das angústias.
EFICÁCIA DO TREINAMENTO DE FORÇA E ENDURANCE MUSCULAR RESPIRATÓRIA NA SÍNDROME DE KARTAGENER: RELATO DE CASO
Authors: Martim Thayla Francielle , Baldo Larissa Manhani , Tomaso Rafael Grupioni , Silva Vinicius Eduardo , Fuentes Victoria Message , Belluzzo Simone de Souza , Regueiro Eloisa Maria Gatti
Published: November 2021

A Síndrome de Kartagener (SK) é uma doença autossômica recessiva rara que se caracteriza por sinusite crônica, bronquiectasias e situs inversus. Ocorre modificação da dineína, proteína que se acopla aos microtúbulos, responsáveis pela frequência dos batimentos ciliares, no epitélio brônquico, tornando-os imóveis, comprometendo a depuração mucociliar no trato respiratório. Como consequência, os indivíduos apresentam surtos repetidos de infecção da via aérea superior e inferior desde a infância, e geralmente apresentam bronquite, pneumonia, hemoptise, otite média, sinusite, entre outras. Nesse contexto, acredita-se que esses indivíduos possam apresentar fraqueza muscular respiratória. Sendo assim, a hipótese desse estudo foi que a fisioterapia respiratória associada ao treinamento muscular respiratório (TMR) e treinamento físico (TF) promove melhora da força e endurance muscular respiratória, bem como do condicionamento cardiorrespiratório e capacidade funcional. Foi elegível um voluntário de 28 anos, gênero masculino, caucasiano, 94 Kg, 1,74 m, com IMC= 31,05Kg/m2, que realizou TMR associado ao condicionamento físico. Sabe-se que são encontrados na literatura científica muitos estudos que comprovam os benefícios TMR, independentemente de haver ou não doença instalada; entretanto, esse estudo de caso é pioneiro no que se refere ao uso do Power Breathe (PB) nessa população. De acordo com o presente estudo sugere-se que TMR associado ao TF trouxe melhora ao indivíduo quanto a força e endurance muscular respiratória, condicionamento cardiorrespiratório e capacidade funcional. Entretanto, ainda são escassos os relatos da literatura científica sobre o tema, bem como sobre o prognóstico mais detalhado desses indivíduos; e não há especificamente estudos randomizados que possam comprovar a melhora.

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy -a review
Authors: Basude Sneha
Published: November 2021

A 32-year-old lady presented to the delivery suite at 36 weeks gestation with severe generalised pruritis. The itching was widespread, over her whole body, but especially noticeable on the palms of her hands and soles of her feet. The midwife performed a fetal heart trace (cardiotocogram (CTG)), which was normal, and also took some blood for liver enzymes and bile acids. Chlorpheniramine was prescribed for the itching and an appointment made to attend the antenatal clinic four days later to see the consultant. The liver function tests showed a very high alanine transaminase (ALT) which was 557 iu/1, and raised bile acids of 52 micromols/1. Further CTG monitoring was organised and an ultrasound scan for fetal growth and wellbeing prior to the clinic appointment. Unfortunately, when the patient attended the hospital four days later for the scan an intrauterine death was confirmed. She had noticed decreased fetal movements for 24 hours prior to the visit. The stillbirth was attributed to 'obstetric cholestasis' and all other investigations were normal. The liver function reverted to normal after delivery.
Problem-based learning - the new paradigm of medical education
Authors: Poyser Tom
Published: November 2021

When the Journal asked the fledgling Medical School to explain to the interested observer and the sceptic what the concept of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) meant to those staff members who might have to adapt their teaching methods, Tom Poyser’s name came up. Tom is a final year medical student at Liverpool who took a year out of the course to study International Health at Leeds. The Journal is pleased to publish this personal account of his experiences of the PBL curriculum at Lancaster, where he has been impressed with the personal nature of the teaching and the sense of involvement that students have with the practice of medicine. Minor editorial changes have had to be made to correct Tom’s misunderstanding that Lancaster was a ‘quiet’ medical community before the arrival of the medical school! For those of us who are looking for reassurance that the modern medical curriculum delivers an education comparable with the traditional one, here is a personal view that reflects the experience of a student and his peers.
Retrieval of casenotes following admission - how the delay affects patient management

Published: November 2021

The Trust has recently released a policy document concerning the medical risks of treating patients without access to medical records. This states: ‘The Trust will support a consultant who proceeds if he is comfortable that he is performing the correct procedure on the correct patient. Similarly, we will support any consultant who does not proceed in the absence of casenotes because he or she is uncomfortable about the clinical risk.’ This audit was undertaken around the time that this policy was released and examines the very real problems and dangers associated with out-of-hours clinical practice. The authors are a consultant surgeon and her trainee at Furness General Hospital (FGH).

NYANYIAN PANTON SEBAGAI MEDIUM HIBURAN DAN PENDIDIKAN MASYARAKAT COCOS DI SABAH
Authors: ROMTIE ISA , AMAT ASMIATY , SAMAD LOKMAN ABDUL
Published: November 2021

Abstrak

Etnik Cocos merupakan masyarakat minoriti di negeri Sabah yang memiliki pantun seperti masyarakat Melayu. Pantun Cocos mengemukakan pelbagai tema seperti cinta dan kasih sayang, ajaran (nasihat), budi, mengaco (hiburan), kecewa dan perpisahan, agama dan kongajar (lucah). Perbezaan dengan pantun Melayu ialah daripada segi pengucapan dan pemilihan diksi. Gaya pengucapan pantunnya agak unik ditambah dengan ekspresi dan gerak tubuh pemantun ketika melantunkan pantun. Persembahan fizikal pemantun secara tidak langsung memberi hiburan kepada pendengar dan penonton dengan lagak yang bersahaja dan memberikan hiburan berdasarkan persembahan yang dilakukan seperti dalam tarian Melenggok, Selong dan Labuan Tidak Berbukit. Kajian lapangan berbentuk pemerhatian dan temu bual dilakukan di Kampung Balung Cocos, Kampung Skim Cocos dan Kampung Simpang Empat, Kunak, di mana lokasi penempatan orang Cocos. Data dianalisis menggunakan teori Puitika Melayu karya Muhammad Hj Salleh. Kajian mendapati walaupun pantun Cocos sarat dengan hiburan dan gaya penyampaiannya kelihatan tidak serius, ilmu didikan dan pengajaran tidak dilupakan oleh pemantun sebagai pengajaran untuk masyarakatnya.

Abstract

The Cocos ethnics, a minority community in Sabah, has a â€˜pantunâ€™ tradition similar to the Malay community. Cocos â€˜pantunâ€™ explores various themes items such as love and passion, advice, good deed, â€˜mengacoâ€™ (entertainment), frustration and separation, religion and â€˜kongajarâ€™ (vulgarity). The difference with Malay â€˜pantunâ€™ is in terms of its articulation and choice of diction. The articulation is rather unique and this is supplemented with the expression and body movements of the â€˜pemantunâ€™ during his/her recitation. The physical performance of the â€˜pemantunâ€™ provides indirect entertainment to the audience such as the nonchalance and spontaneity of action as expressed in the â€˜Melenggok,â€™ Selongâ€™ and â€˜Labuan Tidak Berbukitâ€™ dances. Field study in the form of observations and interviews was conducted in Kampung Balung Cocos, Kampung Skim Cocos and Kampung Simpang Empat, Kunak where the Cocos community is prevalent. Data were analysed using the Puitika Melayu theory by Muhammad Hj Salleh. Findings indicate that although the Cocos â€˜pantunâ€™ is heavily embedded with elements of entertainment and portrayed as light-hearted, knowledge and learning are incorporated by the â€˜pemantunâ€™ in the composition as lessons for the community.

Published: November 2021

Artikel ini membincangkan secara naratif deskriptif elemen al- Tawkô€†¯d dan peranannya dalam bahasa dan primasastera Arab. Perbincangan tentang al-Tawkô€†¯d bukan sahaja terhad pada perbahasan dalam ilmu nahu Arab, bahkan merentasi sosiobudaya bangsa Arab itu sendiri yang dijelmakan melalui kewibawaan retorik (balô€†—ghah) dan sasteranya (adab). Fungsi dan implikasi al-Tawkô€†¯d dalam bahasa dan budaya Arab telah menempatkan gaya bahasa (uslô€‡Œb) tersebut pada kelasnya yang tersendiri. Hasil perbincangan dalam artikel ini mendapati bahawa bahasa dan budaya Arab bukan sahaja memerihalkan al-Tawkid dalam wacana seharian, tetapi juga menggarap aura keintelektualan dan kecekalan peribadi bangsa Arab di persada kelestarian fizik dan linguistik. Lihat sahaja bagaimana mereka mengungkapkan ketegasan dalam menanggapi sesuatu yang menjadi impian atau tujahan dalam kehidupan seharian; bukan sahaja menerusi tatabahasa al-Tawkô€†¯dal- Lafô€œ²iyy atau al-Maâ€˜nawiyy semata, malah menjangkau elemen-elemen nahu yang lain seperti al-Qasm (sumpah), al-Mafâ€˜ô€‡Œl al-Muô€œ’laq (akusatif melampau), ô€œ±arf al-Zamô€†—n (kedudukan masa), al-Nidô€†—â€™ (panggilan), al- Badal (gantian), al-Naô€’±at (adjektif) dan sebagainya. Demikian juga apabila ditelusuri khazanah sastera yang tersimpan pelbagai jalur dan galur primasastera Arab yang amat menarik dan mengagumkan; antaranya ialah penggunaan gaya bahasa al-Tawkô€†¯d dalam ungkapanungkapan sasterawan Arab seperti al-Mubô€†—laghah (kepalingan), al-Iô€œ’nô€†—b (penghuraian), al-Taqdô€†¯m wa al-Taâ€™khô€†¯r dan sebagainya. Justeru, itulah sebabnya mengapa al-Quran al-Karim yang kaya dengan mesej penegasan dan peneguhan tentang ayat-ayat Allah SWT menggunakan gaya bahasa al-Tawkô€†¯d versi bahasa dan budaya Arab tersebut yang sekali gus mengangkat martabatnya ke tempat yang paling mulia di dunia dan akhirat.

An Algorithm-Adaptive Source Code Converter to Automate the Translation from Python to Java
Authors: Jin Eric , Sun Yu
Published: November 2021

In the fields of computer science, there exist hundreds of different programming languages. They often have different usage and strength but also have a huge number of overlapping abilities [1]. Especially the kind of general-purpose coding language that is widely used by people, for example Java, Python and C++ [2]. However, there is a lack of comprehensive methods for the conversion for codes from one language to another [3], making the task of converting a program in between multiple coding languages hard and inconvenient. This paper thoroughly explained how my team designs a tool that converts Python source code into Java which has the exact same function and features. We applied this converter, or transpiler, to many Python codes, and successfully turned them into Java codes. Two qualitative experiments were conducted to test the effectiveness of the converter. 1. Converting Python solutions of 5 United States Computer Science Olympic (USACO) problems into Java solutions and conducting a qualitative evaluation of the correctness of the produced solution; 2. converting codes of various lengths from 10 different users to test the adaptability of this converter with randomized input. The results show that this converter is capable of an error rate less than 10% out of the entire code, and the translated code can perform the exact same function as the original code.

Mudanças importantes ocorridas na formação de professores no cenário nacional vêm suscitar à importância de se trabalhar as habilidades sociais dos docentes, tendo em vista, uma formação mais generalista no campo da educação. Nesse contexto as habilidades sociais assume um papel relevante, pois são um conjunto de comportamentos emitidos por uma pessoa em um contexto interpessoal que expressa sentimentos, atitudes, desejos, opiniões ou direitos de um modo adequado à situação, respeitando os demais; contribuindo assim para uma satisfação no trabalho e uma boa qualidade de vida. Nesse artigo objetivou-se estudar as habilidades sociais em professores da educação básica frente à afetividade e subjetividade por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica da literatura. Para tanto, utilizou-se como estratégia de investigação, a pesquisa em referências teóricas já analisadas, e publicadas por meios escritos e eletrônicos, como livros, artigos científicos, páginas de web sites na área. Resultam-se dessa compreensão que as habilidades sociais e o bem-estar subjetivo são um fenômeno transformador e facilitador no processo de aprendizagem e da formação docente. Conclui-se que esses construtos estudados são de grande relevância para a educação em especial para a saúde mental dos sujeitos implicados
MATERNIDAD SUBROGADA EN MÉXICO
Authors: Bejerano Morales Valeria , Antonio Morales Notario José
Published: November 2021

En el presente artículo realizamos un análisis de como la maternidad subrogada es contemplada en México, puntualizamos y buscamos una explicación concisa de los conceptos generales de maternidad y la subrogación; con miras a una perspectiva ciudadana, dada la poca divulgación y la escasa regulación del tema dentro de las leyes mexicanas. Así mismo mencionar los pormenores de los estados quienes se han encargado de profundizar o, al menos, regular ciertos puntos de dicha práctica médica. Es importante visualizar que, en un determinado momento, la maternidad subrogada será practicada con más frecuencia a fin de satisfacer las necesidades de mujeres y/o parejas quienes recurren a este método para traer consigo una vida y así formar un modelo de familia de manera más fácil y más acercado a la naturalidad posible, dejando de lado las diferentes creencias de nuestra sociedad respecto a gestación subrogada y el uso de elementos tecnológicos en la concepción. Es importante tener en cuenta el indispensable papel volitivo de una mujer que accede a prestar y/o rentar su vientre; ya que en diversos casos de estudio, así como en antecedentes suscitados (tal es el caso de Baby M), las madres sustitutas se niegan a entregar él bebe a los padres contratantes, lo que genera controversia y disputas legales, que a falta de regulación, no pueden ser atendidas de manera correcta.
THE SPIRITUALITY IN THE HOSPITAL CONTEXT:
Authors: Gomes de Oliveira Neto Jorge
Published: November 2021

This article aims to review studies on spirituality and health psychology. The need to discuss this topic arose from the fact that there is some difficulty on the part of psychologists in dealing with the spiritual dimension of their patients. Due to the possibility of accessing the experiences of authors who have already researched on the subject, its technical procedure took place through bibliographical research. As a theoretical foundation, authors who discuss spirituality and health, especially in the hospital context, were used. According to the theoretical bases found, it was possible to verify that there are still difficulties in understanding and considering the spiritual dimension as part of the human being in a holistic perspective. In this sense, such difficulty is consequently reflected in the hospital environment. This conclusion becomes relevant in order to encourage researchers and psychologists to discuss and research more frequently on the developed theme, and thus enable patients to have a better hospitalization process.
CORPUS-BASED METHOD IN TEACHING VOCABULARY
Authors: MOVSESYAN LILIT
Published: November 2021

Corpus linguistics is one of the fastest-growing methodologies in
contemporary linguistics. It utilizes a large and principled collection of natural
texts, known as a corpus, as the basis for analysis. At the same time, corpus
linguistics is more than a methodological approach, because it has enabled
researchers to ask fundamentally different kinds of research questions,
sometimes resulting in radically different perspectives on language variation
and use from those taken in previous research. And to make good use of
corpus resources one needs a modest orientation to the routines involved in
retrieving information from the corpus, and most importantly training and
experience in how to evaluate that information. Hence, this paper presents
corpus techniques in the field of teaching addressing the possible areas of its
usage in vocabulary development through some activities requiring
quantitative and qualitative analyses.

In the present work, the analysis of the variability of quantitative and qualitative morphological traits of Japanese Camellia (Camellia japonica L.) varieties used in greenhouses of botanical institutions in Moscow is considered. The paper considers the following varieties: ‘Governor Mouton’, ‘Madame Lebois’, ‘Covina’, ‘Bella Toscana’, ‘Bonomiana’, ‘Alba Simplex’, ‘Lavinia Maggi’, ‘ Silver Waves ’,‘ Doncklaeri ’. To assess the variability, 10 characters were selected, six of which describe the leaf (leaf blade length, leaf blade width, leaf ovality index, leaf blade base shape, leaf blade apex shape, leaf blade shape) and four – flowers (corolla color, flower diameter, degree of terry and aroma). The variability of quantitative characteristics was assessed by determining the confidence intervals method and calculating the coefficients of variation. The variability of qualitative features was assessed by establishing modalities and determining modes. It is noted that, in terms of quantitative and qualitative characteristics, weak variability is observed in most cases. Thus, the studied varieties of Japanese camellia have stable features that characterize the flower and leaf blade. Keywords: CAMELLIA JAPONICA, JAPANESE CAMELLIA, VARIABILITY, VARIETIES
Artificial Intelligence in Metrology Data Collection

Many companies have tried to automate data collection for handheld Digital Multimeters (DMM) using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Only recently have companies tried to perform this task using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, Cal Lab Solutions being one of them in 2020. But when we developed our first prototype application, we discovered the difficulties of getting a good value with every measurement and test point.A year later, lessons learned and equipped with better software, this paper is a continuation of that AI project. In Beta-,1 we learned the difficulties of AI reading segmented displays. There are no pre-trained models for this type of display, so we needed to train a model. This required the testing of thousands of images, so we changed the scope of the project to a continual learning AI project. This paper will cover how we built our continuous learning AI model to show how any lab with a webcam can start automating those handheld DMMS with software that gets smarter over time.

First measurement service applied to event dating for reliable business transactions: metrology for digital transformation using Colombian legal time.
Authors:   Instituto Nacional de Metrología de Colombia, Fernanda Rodriguez Claudia
Published: November 2021

Diffusing the legal time in Colombia is one missional assessment of INM (National Metrology Institute of Colombia). This is done via a public IP through an NTP server (Network Time Protocol Server) disciplined to the National Standard of Time and Frequency. So, the companies can synchronize their servers, but they do not have certainty about the difference that exists between the time of the client-server and the legal time of the INM server because there is not a constant verification implemented by themselves. In Colombia, the demand for the legal time service has increased because it is used by many companies due to the rise of innovative applications such as time-stamp, digital signature, electronic invoice, and economic transactions. This has an impact on the economic environment of a country for world trade. For this reason, the INM of Colombia implemented a new service to measure the synchronization offset with the legal time, which allows the companies to have a new service that generates reliability respecting the time they use to provide their services. Inspired by the INM contribution to the international comparison Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) and the intercomparison of the National Standards of Time and Frequency implemented through the SIM time scale (SIMT) using GPS (Global Positioning System), the INM developed a customized application for national comparison using NTP. As a result, this is the first remote measurement service as evidence of metrology for digital transformation in Colombia in the field of time and frequency.
Quantifying Metrology’s Real Value
Authors: Kuster Mark
Published: November 2021

Where practicable, the total end-to-end test-and-calibration program cost would serve as the ultimate measurement quality metric (MQM). Total cost includes both the capitalization and ongoing costs that support product quality (sometimes called cost of quality) and the consequence costs (sometimes called cost of poor quality) that result from imperfect measurement and products. End-to-end means capturing costs from the entire traceability chain: from measurement standards to end products. Minimizing this MQM, total end-toend cost (TETEC), equates to optimizing measurement quality assurance (MQA). Lacking easily available measurement and performance data automatically fed to modeling software, organizations have found cost metrics unimaginable or impracticable, so their measurement programs instead target more easily computed MQMs, such as false-accept risk or simpler proxies thereof, setting minimum, but sub-optimal, quality levels. However, modern computing systems and software, such as laboratory management systems with testpoint- level traceability, rapidly approach the point at which the TETEC MQM will become practicable. Preparing for this eventuality, the NCSLI 173 Metrology Practices Committee has developed models that relate costs to measurement program information such as product specifications, test and measurement uncertainties, calibration intervals and reliability targets. Applications include optimizing overall program MQA, but also estimating the value of metrology and return on equipment investments, selecting instruments, designing test and calibration processes, designing products. This paper applies the cost models to case studies and examples to illustrate some applications.
Uncertainty Evaluation of the Electrical Transient Rise Time

Published: November 2021

This paper deals with the uncertainty evaluation of the rise time of one pulse of an electrical fast transient burst (EFT/B), as carried out by the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (Inmetro) of Brazil. The main goal is to analyse the impact of two uncertainty sources not included in the uncertainty budget example in IEC 61000-4-4 standard, and not very well explored in the literature: Voltage Measurement and Horizontal Accuracy. The uncertainty sources considered in this evaluation were: the oscilloscope’s resolution and calibration of the voltage scale (Voltage Measurement) and the time scale (Horizontal Accuracy); the bandwidth of the measurement system; the oscilloscope sampling rate; and the repeatability of ten different measurements. Two sets of measurements were taken from two different oscilloscope settings: in the first one, the interpolation function was enabled, and in the other one was disabled. In both cases two components stood out for their huge relative contribution: time reading and repeatability. Considered together, these two components added up approximately 87% of the expanded uncertainty for interpolated samples, and 95% for non-interpolated samples. Also, the results indicate that the oscilloscope interpolation function (OIF), if available, should be used, as the expanded uncertainty decreases by 27% due to a better oscilloscope resolution. A discussion of the uncertainty budget example in Annex C of IEC 61000-4-4 is presented. In conclusion, once the OIF is enabled, the two additional uncertainty components discussed in this paper should be considered in the uncertainty budget. They should not be neglected since the combined relative contribution of these components is larger than the relative contribution of repeatability.
Enhanced photodegradation of dimethoxybenzene isomers in/on ice compared to in aqueous solution

Abstract. Photochemical reactions of contaminants in snow and ice can be important sources and sinks for various organic and inorganic compounds. Snow contaminants can be found in the bulk ice matrix, in internal liquid-like regions (LLRs), or in quasi-liquid layers (QLLs) at the air-ice interface, where they can readily exchange with the firn air. Some studies have reported that direct photochemical reactions occur faster in LLRs and QLLs than in aqueous solution, while others have found similar rates. Here, we measure the photodegradation rate constants of the three dimethoxybenzene isomers under varying experimental conditions, including in aqueous solution, in LLRs, and at the air-ice interface of nature-identical snow. Relative to aqueous solution, we find modest photodegradation enhancements (3- and 6-fold) in LLRs for two of the isomers, and larger enhancements (15- to 30-fold) at the air-ice interface for all three isomers. We use computational modeling to assess the impact of light absorbance changes on photodegradation rate enhancements at the interface. We find small (2–5 nm) bathochromic (red) absorbance shifts at the interface relative to in solution, which increases light absorption, but this factor only accounts for less than 50 % of the measured rate constant enhancements. The major factor responsible for photodegradation rate enhancements at the air-ice interface appears to be more efficient photodecay: estimated dimethoxybenzene quantum yields are 6- to 24-fold larger at the interface compared to in aqueous solution and account for the majority (51–96 %) of the observed enhancements. Using a hypothetical model compound with an assumed Gaussian-shaped absorbance peak, we find that a shift in the peak to higher or lower wavelengths can have a minor to substantial impact on photodecay rate constants, depending on the original location of the peak and the magnitude of the shift. Changes in other peak properties at the air-ice interface, such as peak width and height (i.e., molar absorptivity) can also impact rates of light absorption and direct photodecay.
