Published: December 2021

High-functioning acute care hospitals enable efficient patient flow from admission to discharge with the right care from the right providers at the right time.

Barriers to patient flow can result in cascading events and contribute to patient harm and caregiver burnout.

Quality improvement endeavours in the UK, Switzerland, Finland, and the US have shown success through addressing workplace culture, utilizing management and process theories, altering roles and responsibilities, and taking advantage of technologies.

Successful and sustainable improvements tend to involve substantial planning along with engagement of stakeholders in the design and implementation of a tailored approach.

Biological response to hydrodynamic factors in estuarine-coastal systems: a numerical analysis in a micro-tidal bay
Authors: F.-Pedrera Balsells Marta , Grifoll Manel , Fernández-Tejedor Margarita , Espino Manuel , Mestres Marc , Sánchez-Arcilla Agustín
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Phytoplankton primary production in coastal bays and estuaries is influenced by multiple physical variables, such as wind, tides, freshwater inputs or light availability. In a short-term perspective these factors may influence the composition of biological variables such as phytoplankton biomass, as well as the amount of nutrients within the waterbody. Observations in Fangar Bay, a small, shallow, stratified and micro-tidal bay in the Ebro Delta (NW Mediterranean Sea), have shown that during wind episodes the biological variables undergo sudden variations in terms of concentration and distribution within the bay. The Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS) coupled with a nitrogen-based nutrient, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and detritus (NPZD) model has been applied to understand this spatio-temporal variability of phytoplankton biomass in Fangar Bay. Idealised simulations prove that during weak wind events (< 6 m·s−1), the stratification is maintained and therefore there is not dynamic connection between surface and bottom layers, penalizing phytoplankton growth in the whole water column. Conversely, during intense wind events (> 10 m·s−1) water column mixing occurs, homogenising the concentration of nutrients throughout the column, and increasing phytoplankton biomass in the bottom layers. In addition, shifts in the wind direction generate different phytoplankton biomass distributions within the bay, in accordance with the dispersion of freshwater plumes from existing irrigation canals. Thus, the numerical results prove the influence of the freshwater plume evolution on the phytoplankton biomass distribution, which is consistent with remote sensing observations. The complexity of the wind-driven circulation due to the bathymetric characteristics and the modulation of the stratification implies that the phytoplankton biomass differs depending on the prevailing wind direction, leading to sharp Chl a gradients and complex patterns.

Published: December 2021

Abstract. Island South-East Asia (ISEA) is a highly humid region and hosts the world’s largest tropical peat deposits. Most of this peat accumulated relatively recently during the Holocene, suggesting a generally drier and/or more seasonal climate during earlier times. Although there is evidence for savanna expansion and drier conditions during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 21 ka BP), the mechanisms behind hydroclimatic changes during the ensuing deglacial period has received much less attention and are poorly understood. Here we use CESM1 climate model simulations to investigate the key drivers behind ISEA climate at the very end of the last deglacial period, at 12 ka BP. A transient simulation (TRACE) is used to track the climate seasonality and orbitally driven change over time during the deglaciation into the Holocene. In agreement with proxy-evidence, CESM1 simulates overall drier conditions at 12 ka BP. More importantly, ISEA experienced extreme seasonal aridity, in stark contrast to the ever-wet modern climate. We identify that the simulated drying and enhanced seasonality at 12 ka BP is mainly the result of a combination of three factors: 1) large orbital insolation difference between summer and winter in contrast to the LGM and the present day; 2) a stronger winter monsoon caused by a larger interhemispheric thermal gradient in boreal winters; and 3) a major reorganization of the Walker Circulation with an inverted land-sea circulation with a complete breakdown of deep convection over ISEA. The altered atmospheric circulation mean state during winters led to conditions resembling extreme El Niño events in the modern climate and a dissolution of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) over the region. From these results we infer that terrestrial cooling of ISEA and at least a seasonal reversal of land-sea circulation likely played a major role in delaying tropical peat formation until at least the onset of the Holocene period.
Mechanisms of hydrological responses to volcanic eruptions in the Asian monsoon and westerlies-dominated subregions
Authors: Zhuo Zhihong , Kirchner Ingo , Cubasch Ulrich
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Explosive volcanic eruptions affect surface climate especially in monsoon regions, but responses vary in different regions and to volcanic aerosol injection (VAI) in different hemispheres. Here we use six ensemble members from last millennium experiment of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5, to investigate the mechanism of regional hydrological responses to different hemispheric VAI in the Asian monsoon region (AMR). It brings a significant drying effect over the AMR after northern hemisphere VAI (NHVAI), spatially, a distinct “wet get drier, dry gets wetter” response pattern emerges with significant drying effect in the wettest area (RWA) but significant wetting effect in the driest area (RDA) of the AMR. After southern hemisphere VAI (SHVAI), it shows a significant wetting effect over the AMR, but spatial response pattern is not that clear due to small aerosol magnitude. The mechanism of the hydrological impact relates to the indirect change of atmospheric circulation due to the direct radiative effect of volcanic aerosols. The decreased thermal contrast between the land and the ocean after NHVAI results in weakened EASM and SASM. This changes the moisture transport and cloud formation in the monsoon and westerlies-dominated subregions. The subsequent radiative effect and physical feedbacks of local clouds lead to different drying and wetting effects in different areas. Results here indicate that future volcanic eruptions may alleviate the uneven distribution of precipitation in the AMR, which should be considered in the near-term decadal prediction and future strategy of local adaptation to global warming. The local hydrological responses and mechanisms found here can also provide reference to stratospheric aerosol engineering.
A temporally consistent 8-day 0.05° gap-free snow cover extent dataset over the Northern Hemisphere for the period 1981–2019
Authors: Chen Xiaona , Liang Shunlin , He Lian , Yang Yaping , Yin Cong
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Northern Hemisphere (NH) snow cover extent (SCE) is one of the most important indicator of climate change due to its unique surface property. However, short temporal coverage, coarse spatial resolution, and different snow discrimination approach among existing continental scale SCE products hampers its detailed studies. Using the latest Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer Surface Reflectance (AVHRR-SR) Climate Data Record (CDR) and several ancillary datasets, this study generated a temporally consistent 8-day 0.05° gap-free SCE covering the NH landmass for the period 1981–2019 as part of the Global LAnd Surface Satellite dataset (GLASS) product suite. The development of GLASS SCE contains five steps. First, a decision tree algorithm with multiple threshold tests was applied to distinguish snow cover (NHSCE-D) with other land cover types from daily AVHRR-SR CDR. Second, gridcells with cloud cover and invalid observations were filled by two existing daily SCE products. The gap-filled gridcells were further merged with NHSCE-D to generate combined daily SCE over the NH (NHSCE-Dc). Third, an aggregation process was used to detect the maximum SCE and minimum gaps in each 8-day periods from NHSCE-Dc. Forth, the gaps after aggregation process were further filled by the climatology of snow cover probability to generate the gap-free GLASS SCE. Fifth, the validation process was carried out to evaluate the quality of GLASS SCE. Validation results by using 562 Global Historical Climatology Network stations during 1981–2017 (r = 0.61, p < 0.05) and MOD10C2 during 2001–2019 (r = 0.97, p < 0.01) proved that the GLASS SCE product is credible in snow cover frequency monitoring. Moreover, cross-comparison between GLASS SCE and surface albedo during 1982–2018 further confirmed its values in climate changes studies. The GLASS SCE data are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5775238 (Chen et al. 2021).
A 16-year global climate data record of total column water vapour generated from OMI observations in the visible blue spectral range
Authors: Borger Christian , Beirle Steffen , Wagner Thomas
Published: December 2021

Abstract. We present a long-term data set of 1° × 1° monthly mean total column water vapour (TCWV) based on global measurements of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) covering the time range from January 2005 to December 2020. In comparison to the retrieval algorithm of Borger et al. (2020) several modifications and filters have been applied accounting for instrumental issues (such as OMI's "row-anomaly") or the inferior quality of solar reference spectra. For instance, to overcome the problems of low quality reference spectra, the daily solar irradiance spectrum is replaced by an annually varying mean Earthshine radiance obtained in December over Antarctica. For the TCWV data set only measurements are taken into account for which the effective cloud fraction < 20 %, the AMF > 0.1, the ground pixel is snow- and ice-free, and the OMI row is not affected by the "row-anomaly" over the complete time range of the data set. The individual TCWV measurements are then gridded to a regular 1° × 1° lattice, from which the monthly means are calculated. In a comprehensive validation study we demonstrate that the OMI TCWV data set is in good agreement to reference data sets of ERA5, RSS SSM/I, and ESA CCI Water Vapour CDR-2: over ocean ordinary least squares (OLS) as well as orthogonal distance regressions (ODR) indicate slopes close to unity with very small offsets and high correlation coefficients of around 0.98. However, over land, distinctive positive deviations are obtained especially within the tropics with relative deviations of approximately +10 % likely caused by uncertainties in the retrieval input data (surface albedo, cloud information) due to frequent cloud contamination in these regions. Nevertheless, a temporal stability analysis proves that the OMI TCWV data set is consistent with the temporal changes of the reference data sets and shows no significant deviation trends. Since the TCWV retrieval can be easily applied to further satellite missions, additional TCWV data sets can be created from past missions such as GOME-1 or SCIAMACHY, which under consideration of systematic differences (e.g. due to different observation times) can be combined with the OMI TCWV data set in order to create a data record that would cover a time span from 1995 to the present. Moreover, the TCWV retrieval will also work for all missions dedicated to NO2 in future such as Sentinel-5 on MetOp-SG. The MPIC OMI total column water vapour (TCWV) climate data record is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5776718 (Borger et al., 2021b).

Abstract. The global coverage of the observational network of the wind waves is still characterized by the significant gaps in in situ observations. At the same time wind waves play an important role into the Earth’ climate system specifically in the air-sea interaction processes and energy exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere. In this paper we present the SeaVision system for measuring wind waves’ parameters in the open ocean with navigational marine X-band radar and prime data collection from the three research cruises in the North Atlantic (2020 and 2021) and Arctic (2021). Simultaneously with SeaVision observations of the wind waves we were collecting data in the same locations and time with Spotter wave buoy and running WaveWatch III model over our domains. Measurements with SeaVision were quality controlled and validated by comparison with Spotter buoy data and WaveWatch III experiments. Observations of the wind waves with navigational Xband radar are in agreement among these three sources of data, with the best agreement for wave propagation directions. The dataset that supports this paper consists of significant wave height, wave period and wave energy frequency spectrum from both SeaVision and Spotter buoy. Currently the dataset is available through the temporary link (https://sail.ocean.ru/tilinina2021/) while supporting dataset (Tilinina et al., 2021) is in technical processing at PANGAEA repository. The dataset can be used for validation of satellite missions as well as model outputs. One of the major highlights in this study is potential of all ships navigating into the open ocean and equipped with X-band marine radar to participate into the development of another observational network for the wind waves in the open ocean once cheap and independently operating version of the SeaVision (or any other system) is available.
Assessment of the sea surface temperature diurnal cycle in CNRM-CM6-1 based on its 1D coupled configuration

Published: December 2021

Abstract. A single column version of the CNRM-CM6-1 global climate model has been developed to ease development and validation of the boundary layer physics and air-sea coupling in a simplified environment. This framework is then used to assess the ability of the coupled model to represent the sea surface temperature (SST) diurnal cycle. To this aim, the atmospheric-ocean single column model (AOSCM), called CNRM-CM6-1D, is implemented on a case study derived from the Cindy-Dynamo field campaign over the Indian Ocean, where large diurnal SST variabilities have been well documented. Comparing the AOSCM and its uncoupled components (atmospheric SCM and oceanic SCM, called OSCM) highlights that the impact of coupling in the atmosphere results both from the possibility to take in to account the diurnal variability of SST, not usually available in forcing products, and from the change in mean state SST as simulated by the OSCM, the ocean mean state not being heavily impacted by the coupling. This suggests that coupling feedbacks are more due to advection processes in the 3D model than to the model physics. Additionally, a sub-daily coupling frequency is needed to represent the SST diurnal variability but the choice of the coupling time-step between 15 min and 3 h does not impact much on the diurnal temperature range simulated. The main drawback of a 3-h coupling being to delay the SST diurnal cycle by 5 h in asynchronous coupled models. Overall, the diurnal SST variability is reasonably well represented in the CNRM-CM6-1 with a 1 h coupling time-step and the upper ocean model resolution of 1 m. This framework is shown to be a very valuable tool to develop and validate the boundary layer physics and the coupling interface. It highlights the interest to develop other atmosphere-ocean coupling case studies.
UniFHy v0.1: A community framework for the terrestrial water cycle in Python

Published: December 2021

Abstract. Land surface, hydrological, and groundwater modelling communities all have expertise in simulating the hydrological processes at play in the land system, but these communities have largely remained distinct with limited collaboration between disciplines. In order to address key societal questions regarding the future availability of water resources and the intensity of extreme events such as floods and droughts in a changing climate, these communities must build on the strengths of one another. The development of a common modelling infrastructure, a framework, can contribute to stimulating cross-fertilisation between them. By allowing (parts of) their existing models to be coupled together, improved land system models can be built to better understand and simulate the terrestrial hydrological cycle. This paper presents a Python implementation of such a framework named the Unified Framework for Hydrology (unifhy). The framework aims to provide the technical infrastructure required to couple models, taking into account the specific needs of a land system model. Its conceptual design and technical capabilities are outlined first, before its usage and useful characteristics are demonstrated through case studies. The limitations of the current framework and necessary future developments are finally presented as a road map for later versions and/or other implementations of the framework.
A characterisation of Alpine mesocyclone occurrence
Authors: Feldmann Monika , Germann Urs , Gabella Marco , Berne Alexis
Published: December 2021

Abstract. This work presents a characterisation of mesocyclone occurrence and frequency in the Alpine region, as observed from the Swiss operational radar network; 5 years of radar data are processed with a thunderstorm detection and tracking algorithm and subsequently with a new mesocyclone detection algorithm. A quality assessment of the radar domain provides additional information on the reliability of the tracking algorithms throughout the domain. The resulting data set provides the first insight into the spatiotemporal distribution of mesocyclones in the Swiss domain, with a more detailed focus on the influence of synoptic weather, diurnal cycle and terrain. Both on the northern and southern side of the Alps mesocyclonic signatures in thunderstorms occur regularly. The regions with the highest occurrence are predominantly the Southern Prealps and to a lesser degree the Northern Prealps. The parallels to hail research over the same region are discussed.
Impact of Eurasian autumn snow on the winter North Atlantic Oscillation in seasonal forecasts of the 20th century
Authors: Wegmann Martin , Orsolini Yvan , Weisheimer Antje , van den Hurk Bart , Lohmann Gerrit
Published: December 2021

Abstract. As the leading climate mode of wintertime climate variability over Europe,
the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has been extensively studied over the
last decades. Recently, studies highlighted the state of the Eurasian
cryosphere as a possible predictor for the wintertime NAO. However, missing
correlation between snow cover and wintertime NAO in climate model
experiments and strong non-stationarity of this link in reanalysis data are
questioning the causality of this relationship. Here we use the large ensemble of Atmospheric Seasonal Forecasts of the 20th
Century (ASF-20C) with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather
Forecasts model, focusing on the winter season. Besides the main 110-year
ensemble of 51 members, we investigate a second, perturbed ensemble of 21
members where initial (November) land conditions over the Northern
Hemisphere are swapped from neighboring years. The Eurasian snow–NAO
linkage is examined in terms of a longitudinal snow depth dipole across
Eurasia. Subsampling the perturbed forecast ensemble and contrasting members
with high and low initial snow dipole conditions, we found that their
composite difference indicates more negative NAO states in the following
winter (DJF) after positive west-to-east snow depth gradients at the
beginning of November. Surface and atmospheric forecast anomalies through
the troposphere and stratosphere associated with the anomalous positive snow
dipole consist of colder early winter surface temperatures over eastern
Eurasia, an enhanced Ural ridge and increased vertical energy fluxes into
the stratosphere, with a subsequent negative NAO-like signature in the
troposphere. We thus confirm the existence of a causal connection between
autumn snow patterns and subsequent winter circulation in the ASF-20C
forecasting system.

Published: December 2021

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of exercise interventions delivered via telerehabilitation (via videoconference) for recently hospitalized adult medical patients. Data sources: A search was undertaken across six databases for English language publications from inception to May 2020. Methods: Studies were selected if they included an exercise intervention for recently hospitalized adults, delivered by a physiotherapist via videoconference. Two reviewers independently screened 1,122 articles (21 full text screening) and assessed methodological quality using the Downs and Black Checklist. A narrative synthesis of the included studies was undertaken. Results: Three studies met eligibility criteria involving 201 participants with chronic heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Findings demonstrated limited evidence supporting the effectiveness of exercise delivered via telerehabilitation in improving physical function and patient reported quality of life outcomes in recently hospitalized medical patients. Telerehabilitation in this setting was also associated with high attendance rates and patient satisfaction. Conclusions: Findings provide preliminary support for the benefits of exercise interventions delivered via telerehabilitation for recently hospitalized medical patients. Results do need to be interpreted with caution as further high-quality studies specific to this method of exercise intervention delivery are needed.

INVESTIGATION OF QUALITATIVE PARAMETERS IN SOAP PRODUCED FROM BLEND OF NEEM AND CASTOR OIL
Authors: Usman A.H , Mukhtar B.
Published: December 2021

Soap is a chemical compound formed by interaction of fatty acids and metal radicals. Different types of vegetable oils have been found to be good candidates for soap production due to their saponifiable nature. However, edible oils are often expensive to use for soap production due to competing demand between commercial and domestic buyers. So, in this work, blend of nonedible neem and castor oils were used at different proportions to produce various soap samples. The foregoing was achieved via the two well-known processes of soap production, that is; the hot and cold processes. The work investigated the parameters that influence the quality of soap and determined their optimum values using various blends of the oils. Six samples were produced, and their properties analyzed and compared with two commercial samples to determine a blend with the most desirable qualities. The yield, foamability, pH, hardness and cleansing power of the produced soap samples were determined. It was found that the blend of 60 ml neem oil and 40 ml castor oil was the best with a yield of 70.4%, foamability of 11.8 cm, pH of 10.42 and a high cleansing power. The results were found to be consistent with those of the two commercial samples used as controls. Keywords: Castor, cleansing power, foamability, hardness, neem, oil, soap samples
An Australian Neobaroque: The Latin American neobarroco and Antipodean transgression
Authors: Cooke Stuart
Published: December 2021

This essay will argue for the relevance of the ‘neobaroque’ in relation to recent examples of Australian poetics. The baroque and neobaroque are central strains of Latin American poetry, and much has been made of the neobaroque turn in Latin American theory, with the alternatives it proposes to hegemonic, linear narratives of modernity and rationalism. However, despite the fact that some of Australia’s greatest writers have profoundly baroque qualities, the baroque as an aesthetic, ontological and/or political category receives scant attention in Australian criticism. In light of these concerns, this essay will provide an outline of both baroque and neobaroque poetics with relation to Australian, European and Latin American examples. I then address the work of leading Mexican poet Coral Bracho, and consider her influence on the last collection of the late Australian poet Martin Harrison (Happiness, 2015). In examining the relations between Bracho’s neobaroque contortions and Harrison’s ‘late style’, I propose that Happiness is illustrative of an alternative trajectory of Australian poetics, which turns from the discipline and reticence of Anglophone models in order to embrace ambiguity, disorder and incompletion – an imagination of complexity (as opposed to its reduction).
Journeying together virtually on Country: Building a relational poetics and pedagogy in the middle of a pandemic
Authors: Howe Christine , Kennedy Jade
Published: December 2021

In the introduction to Fire Front: First Nations Power and Poetry Today, one of several anthologies dedicated to First Nations poets published in 2020, Alison Whittaker describes the gathering momentum of First Nations poetry as a ‘sovereign renaissance’ (p. x). This paper outlines the rationale for – and tells the story of – the collaborative development of a general first-year poetry subject whose pedagogical foundations lie in an Aboriginal epistemological framework, and that privileges the work of First Nations poets. The subject, designed on Dharawal Country and informed by the University of Wollongong’s Jindaola program, is based on a grounded Aboriginal framework of Country, Kinship, Culture, Journey and Connectedness. These five principles shape the students’ journey through the subject as they are prompted, through readings, lectures and writing exercises, to consider their own relationship with place, language, family, community and culture. Teaching poetry guided by this framework is one way of responding to Ali Cobby Eckermann’s call to not only listen to the work of First Nations poets, but also to act (2020, p. 147).
Digital communities at work: Singapore Poetry Writing Month
Authors: Ip Joshua , Ang Ann , Lee Cheryl Julia
Published: December 2021

This article outlines the development of the Singapore Poetry Writing Month (SingPoWriMo) digital community, organised around an annual month-long poem-a-day, prompt-based writing challenge carried out on Facebook. As a highly active digital writing community, SingPoWriMo has generated more poetry in English in its six-year history than the Singapore literary community has since independence. The poems posted on SingPoWriMo are able to reach the group’s population of more than 7,000 members without the traditional filters to publication such as editorial input, publisher selection, economic choice and transaction, and critical review. Conversely, social media provides selective replacements for some of these functions, via comment threads, ‘likes’ and other reactions, as well as Facebook’s viral sharing function that allows poetry to reach an audience beyond the group. These factors of mass reach, rapidity, immediacy, and instant feedback have implications for the poetry generated, which goes on to integrate and remake traditional modes of publication and performance according to the qualities of a digital community. This article seeks to examine the historical antecedents and influences of high-volume, high-speed poetic output; the nature of the poetry being written in these digital writing communities; and the effects and implications of the SingPoWriMo phenomenon on the Singaporean and regional literary ecosystems. SingPoWriMo and its counterparts are new ways of writing that also create, and demand, new ways of understanding writing.
Poetry meets design pedagogy in The WoW Project: Collaborations on ‘The Moving Poet’ to ‘start the conversation’
Authors: Joseph Sue , Drayton Dave , Attfield Sarah , Batty Craig
Published: December 2021

The WoW Project – Words on Wheels; Words on Water – is a public transport poetry venture in development, seeking to bring poetry to Sydneysiders (and then others) commuting to work – on buses, light rail, trains, and ferries. The project attributes its genesis to two major public transport schemes in London and New York, where established and legacy poetry is displayed on posters throughout each city’s public transport system. Locally, while upholding established and legacy poets, the project seeks to support new and emerging poets. Additionally, and importantly, the poetry in this project is interested in igniting social justice, equity, and advocacy issues – poetry to start a conversation.

‘The Moving Poet’ is the pilot product of The WoW Project, a collaboration between University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Creative Writing staff (former and current) and UTS undergraduate Visual Communication students. Throughout one semester in 2020, Creative Writing staff became clients of the students’ simulated design company Salt Studio, collaborating at the intersection of text, image, and place. Staff stepped into a space unknown to them as the students designed 20 posters, thematically and conceptually framed, of poetry by eight Australian poets; developed social media interfaces; and produced teaser videos of the concept for pitching to potential funders and supporters. The collective goal, underpinning both practice and pedagogy, is to use these artefacts to provoke conversation about social injustice in a bid to incite discussion, particularly in an Australian context; to surprise commuters by ‘scattering’ poems in public places; and to generate further interactions from these poems through social media and digital responses.

Drawing on both the field of creative writing and its place within a design education context, this article traces the project from its inception, including its positioning within similar projects internationally, to writing and design collaboration, to its final stage of presentation of deliverables. It outlines the project’s next steps, namely engaging with industry and community partners for full execution.
Romantic notions of creativity now
Authors: Magee Paul
Published: December 2021

This article takes its point of departure from Paul de Man’s observation that ‘whenever romantic attitudes are implicitly or explicitly under discussion, a certain heightening of tone takes place, an increase of polemical tensions develops, as if something of immediate concern to all were at stake’ (1993, p. 3). Note the way scholars feel repeatedly called upon to deflate the possibility that a given poem was the product of sudden transport, by pointing to textual and biographical evidence that it was ‘extensively’ revised. The frequency of this critical gesture suggests that there is something in ideas like ‘spontaneous overflow’ (Wordsworth, 1800/1957, para. 6) and poetry coming ‘as naturally as leaves to a tree’ (Keats, 1966, p. 46) that is refusing to go away. The article turns to The Work of Revision (2013), Hannah Sullivan’s recent historicisation of the practice, to suggest that revision was not only less valued by the Romantics, but seems to have been less practised by them as well for a range of reasons, including technological ones to do with the general unavailability of proofs and the high cost of paper. On the other hand, contemporary poets’ interview comments suggest that revision is often far more performative than our common equation between it and a controlling rationality would seem to indicate. ‘Poetry now’ may be much closer to ‘poetry then’ than we like to assume. A concluding discussion of Jacques Rancière’s rejection of the concepts of modernism and postmodernism, in favour of a periodisation that locates present-day aesthetic judgements within the practices traced by Kant, Schiller and Coleridge, underlines this contention.
Streaming verse: Looking into the mirror
Authors: Middleton Kate
Published: December 2021

In this article, I investigate the way multiple contemporary poets incorporate the medium of television and its many genres into their poems. I take as a starting point the continuing centrality of television in the way contemporary culture seeks to both represent and understand itself and examine the way that poetry takes on the challenge of addressing this ubiquitous medium. By incorporating and responding to mass media, the poetry of television is likewise seeking to understand contemporary culture and the poet’s place within it. In examining texts by Susan Stewart, Anne Carson, Claudia Rankine and Bianca Stone, I consider the appearance of television as both mythologising force and, in the age of 24-hour news and live streaming, ambient noise, while examining the ways that these poets move between description, critical observation and interpretation, and active mimesis. In the slippage between these approaches, we see the poets undertaking the act of ‘audiencing’ (Turnbull, 2020, p. 13), shifting between passive and active modes of engagement.
Towards a hospitable poetics: Accommodating dementia through contemporary lyric
Authors: Vickery Ann
Published: December 2021

Dementia is one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century. According to Alzheimer’s International, there were over fifty-five million people with dementia worldwide in 2020. Dementia forces us to scrutinise how community, care, and personhood are defined. While there has been increasing representation of dementia through narrative-driven forms, it is precisely poetry’s capacity to move beyond the meaning-making functions of language and narrative that enables it to better accommodate the morphic nature of dementia and to challenge its stigma. While considering how the impact of dementia may vary between vocational writers, those new to writing, and those in positions of care, this essay considers how contemporary lyric may offer a space of hospitality that enables us to live with, and alongside, dementia ethically. Focusing predominantly on Australian examples, the article considers how poetry seeks to provide a space, at times paradoxical, enabling agency, recognition, and freedom, while also navigating forms of attachment and belonging. It considers how poetry can articulate dementia as historically and culturally nuanced and how poetry may also be able to navigate states of difficulty and precarity.
«Una spada lucida e aguta». La paura di Dante e l’'auctoritas' letteraria di San Paolo nella 'Divina Commedia'
Authors: Meier Franziska
Published: December 2021

L’articolo torna a interrogare il ruolo di San Paolo nella Divina Commedia. Diversamente da ricercatori recenti secondo i quali San Paolo serve da modello a Dante pellegrino a cui viene accordata una visione divina, questo articolo indaga la misura in cui l’Apostolo potrebbe aver servito da modello anche a Dante poeta. Nel centro dell’argomentazione sta l’analisi della descrizione di San Paolo in Purgatorio XXIX che potrebbe essere collegata a quella d’Omero, e l’interpretazione delle allusioni paoline che pervadono l’invocazione ad Apollo nel primo canto del Paradiso. Le analisi delle due occorrenze paoline mostrano come Dante abbia formato un San Paolo autore come modello per la terza cantica.
Flores, fragancias y perfumes en la crítica musical de Adolfo Salazar: música moderna y nueva masculinidad en los “felices años veinte”
Authors: Nieto Maria Palacios
Published: December 2021

Adolfo Salazar es un crítico musical especialmente reconocido, sobre todo en el ámbito español y mexicano. A pesar de ello, aún quedan numerosas cuestiones por investigar en su complejo y rico discurso musical. Probablemente unas de las más importantes y olvidadas sean las cuestiones de género sexual (teniendo en cuenta, además, que el mismo crítico fue homosexual, con la asunción no normativa que ello implica). Como se analizará en este artículo, estas miradas de género en sus textos críticos plantean de forma implícita una nueva masculinidad que invade de manera profunda diversas facetas asociadas a la música. De los aspectos vinculados con la nueva masculinidad se analizará uno especialmente claro en sus textos: el uso de las flores, los aromas y los perfumes, con énfasis en un perfume especialmente significativo, el oriental, y su relación con el homoerotismo y la música moderna.
Cantar “al tono de”: estudio y recreación musical de contrafacta (ca. 1700-ca. 1830)
Authors: Planagumà-Clarà Laura
Published: December 2021

En este artículo analizamos contrafacta del siglo XVIII y primeras décadas del XIX presentes en cancioneros manuscritos catalanes con el propósito de ofrecer una recreación musical de estos textos de los que no conservamos la música escrita y comprender de qué manera se desarrollaba la técnica del contrafactum en este repertorio. Para ello, hemos seleccionado un corpus de cancioneros que contienen contrafacta y hemos estudiado en profundidad cinco de los tonos más utilizados: Marizápalos, Fantasmas, Amable, Estopa y Baviera. Además de estudiar de qué escenarios musicales proceden estos tonos que acabaron popularizándose, hemos localizado sus melodías. Finalmente, un análisis métrico de los textos y un análisis formal de las melodías nos han permitido analizar la relación músico-textual en cada tono y ofrecer propuestas de correspondencia.
FATORES E IMPLICAÇÕES DO PROCESSO DE DESMATAMENTO NA RESERVA BIOLÓGICA DE PEDRA TALHADA-PE/AL
Authors: Porfirio Ramonne Laysy de Carvalho , LUCENA MONIQUE RIBEIRO DE , CHAVES ANA MARIA SEVERO , SANTOS CLÉLIO CRISTIANO DOS
Published: December 2021

O desmatamento é um processo que devasta a cobertura vegetal da superfície terrestre e desencadeia impactos como a degradação do solo, destruição do habitat faunístico e assoreamento dos cursos hídrico causados por processos erosivos. Essa situação se agravada quando ocorre em unidade de proteção integral cuja finalidade é proteger remanescente de Mata Atlântica e seus recursos naturais, conforme determinado na legislação brasileira. Assim, a presente pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar os fatores antrópicos que ocasionam o processo de desmatamento na Reserva Biológica de Pedra Talhada-AL/PE evidenciando as implicações socioambientais desencadeadas no meio ambiente local. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados compreenderam contextualização teórica da temática, trabalho de campo, conversas informais com funcionário e morador da reserva e mapeamento espaço-temporal da cobertura da Terra. Constatou-se que o processo de desmatamento ocorrido na Reserva Biológica era motivado por interesses econômicos tendo em vista a comercialização da madeira, abertura de áreas para produção agrícola de subsistência familiar e usos domésticos. Também foi verificado redução do desflorestamento, principalmente, a partir de 2011, perante ações de fiscalização mais eficiente e a saída da população mediante pagamento de indenizações, proporcionando recuperação de 6,35% das áreas de vegetação natural.
ANÁLISE MULTITEMPORAL DO USO E COBERTURA DA TERRA NO MUNICÍPIO DE SENHOR DO BONFIM (BA), BRASIL
Authors: SOUZA Sirius Oliveira , Souza Reis Felipe
Published: December 2021

A compreensão das mudanças do uso e cobertura da terra associada à crescente demanda de recursos naturais consolida relações de causa e efeito em uma ampla escala espaço temporal. Dessa forma, a compreensão e monitoramento do uso e cobertura da terra é fundamental para o entendimento dos padrões de organização do espaço e para o planejamento sustentável dos ambientes e definição de políticas públicas. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho é diagnosticar os principais tipos de uso e cobertura da terra no município de Senhor do Bonfim - BA ao longo dos anos de 1986, 1996, 2009 e 2017. Para este diagnóstico utilizou-se como base as imagens orbitais do Satélite LANDSAT, integradas e processadas em ambiente de Sistema de Informação Geográfica, por meio da classificação supervisionada híbrida. Os resultados obtidos atestam a predominância da Caatinga Arbustiva e comprovam o gradativo crescimento dos cultivos agrícolas, das áreas urbanas e das florestas em encostas. Ao final, o trabalho realizado pretende colaborar aos estudos de evolução da paisagem e auxiliar melhores propostas de planejamento do uso e cobertura de municípios situados em regiões semiáridas tropicais.
