Abstract. The version 10 (v10) Atmospheric Carbon Observations from Space (ACOS) Level 2 full-physics (L2FP) retrieval algorithm has been applied to multiyear records of observations from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 and 3 sensors (OCO-2 and OCO-3, respectively) to provide estimates of the carbon dioxide (CO2) column-averaged dry-air mole fraction (XCO2). In this study, a number of improvements to the ACOS v10 L2FP algorithm are described. The post-processing quality filtering and bias correction of the XCO2 estimates against multiple truth proxies are also discussed. The OCO v10 data volumes and XCO2 estimates from the two sensors for the time period of August 2019 through February 2022 are compared, highlighting differences in spatiotemporal sampling but demonstrating broad agreement between the two sensors where they overlap in time and space. A number of evaluation sources applied to both sensors suggest they are broadly similar in data and error characteristics. Mean OCO-3 differences relative to collocated OCO-2 data are approximately 0.2 and −0.3 ppm for land and ocean observations, respectively. Comparison of XCO2 estimates to collocated Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) measurements shows root mean squared errors (RMSEs) of approximately 0.8 and 0.9 ppm for OCO-2 and OCO-3, respectively. An evaluation against XCO2 fields derived from atmospheric inversion systems that assimilated only near-surface CO2 observations, i.e., did not assimilate satellite CO2 measurements, yielded RMSEs of 1.0 and 1.1 ppm for OCO-2 and OCO-3, respectively. Evaluation of uncertainties in XCO2 over small areas, as well as XCO2 biases across land–ocean crossings, also indicates similar behavior in the error characteristics of both sensors. Taken together, these results demonstrate a broad consistency of OCO-2 and OCO-3 XCO2 measurements, suggesting they may be used together for scientific analyses.

Abstract. Gridded bottom-up inventories of CO2 emissions are needed in global CO2 inversion schemes as priors to initialize transport models, and as a complement to top-down estimates to identify the anthropogenic sources. Global inversions require gridded datasets almost in near-real time that are spatially and methodologically consistent at a global scale. This may result in a loss of more detailed information that can be assessed by using regional inventories because they are built with greater level of detail including country-specific information and finer resolution data. With this aim, a global mosaic of regional, gridded CO2 emission inventories, hereafter referred to as CoCO2-MOSAIC 1.0, has been built in the framework of the CoCO2 project. CoCO2-MOSAIC 1.0 provides gridded (0.1°×0.1°) monthly emissions fluxes of CO2 fossil fuel (CO2ff, long cycle) and CO2 biofuel (CO2bf, short cycle) for the years 2015 to 2018 disaggregated in seven sectors. The regional inventories integrated are CAMS-REG-GHG 5.1 (Europe), DACCIWA 2.0 (Africa), GEAA-AEI 3.0 (Argentina), INEMA 1.0 (Chile), REAS 3.2.1 (South-East Asia) and VULCAN 3.0 (USA). EDGAR 6.0, CAMS-GLOB-SHIP 3.1 and CAMS-GLOB-TEMPO 3.1 are used for gap-filling. CoCO2-MOSAIC 1.0 can be recommended as a global baseline emission inventory for 2015 that is regionally accepted as a reference, and as so we use the mosaic to inter-compare the most widely used global emission inventories: CAMS-GLOB-ANT 5.3, EDGAR 6.0, ODIAC v2020b, and CEDS v2020_04_24. CoCO2-MOSAIC 1.0 has the highest CO2ff and CO2bf emissions globally, particularly in the USA and Africa. Regional emissions generally have a higher seasonality representing better the local monthly profiles and are generally distributed over a higher number of pixels, due to the more detailed information available. Most regional inventories provide large emitters (energy, manufacturing) as point sources improving the agreement with the CoCO2 1.0 global power plant database. All super-emitting pixels from regional inventories contain a power station whereas several super-emitters from global inventories are likely incorrectly geo-located. CoCO2- MOSAIC 1.0 is freely available at zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7092358) (Urraca et al., 2023) and at the JRC Data Catalogue.

Abstract. Isoprene is a crucial non-methane biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) that exhibits the largest emissions globally. It is chemically reactive in the atmosphere and serves as the primary source to generate of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) in terrestrial and remote marine regions. However, a comprehensive estimation of marine isoprene emissions is currently lacking. Here we built a module to present a twenty-year (2001–2020) global hourly dataset for marine isoprene emissions, including phytoplankton-generated biological emissions (BIO emissions) and photochemistry-generated emissions in the sea surface microlayer (SML emissions) based on the latest advancements in biological, physical, and chemical processes, with high spatial and temporal resolutions. The ERA5-hourly meteorological reanalysis (0.25°×0.25° horizontal spatial resolution) from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) for the period of 2001–2020 were used as input for meteorological factors. Chlorophyll concentration data and the downwelling radiative flux diffuse attenuation coefficient data were collected from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Ocean Color Web MODIS Level-3 data, with a resolution of 9 km, covering the same period. Additionally, monthly normalized water-leaving radiance at 410 nm data from the Visible and Infrared Imager/Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) were provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Our dataset suggests the annual global marine isoprene emissions amount to 1.049 ± 0.009 Tg·yr-1. Among these, the BIO emissions are 0.433 ± 0.007 Tg·yr-1 while SML emissions contribute 0.616 ± 0.003 Tg·yr-1. The ability of this module to estimate marine isoprene emissions was evaluated through comparison with a series of observations of marine isoprene concentrations and emission fluxes. Annual total isoprene emission across tropical ocean shows a declining trend from 2001 to 2020. Most ocean regions exhibit a one-year emission period, whereas a significant intraseasonal period is found in the tropical ocean. This dataset can be employed as input for the simulation of marine SOA formation in earth system models. This work provides the foundation for further studies into the impact of the air-sea system on marine SOA formation and its climate effect.

The effects of assimilating a sub-grid-scale sea ice thickness distribution in a new Arctic sea ice data assimilation system

Published: June 2023

Abstract. In the past decade groundbreaking new satellite observations of the Arctic sea ice cover have been made, allowing researchers to understand the
state of the Arctic sea ice system in greater detail than before. The derived estimates of sea ice thickness are useful but limited in time and
space. In this study the first results of a new sea ice data assimilation system are presented. Observations assimilated (in various combinations)
are monthly mean sea ice thickness and monthly mean sea ice thickness distribution from CryoSat-2 and NASA daily Bootstrap sea ice
concentration. This system couples the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling's (CPOM) version of the Los Alamos Sea Ice Model (CICE) to the
localised ensemble transform Kalman filter (LETKF) from the Parallel Data Assimilation Framework (PDAF) library. The impact of assimilating a
sub-grid-scale sea ice thickness distribution is of particular novelty. The sub-grid-scale sea ice thickness distribution is a fundamental component
of sea ice models, playing a vital role in the dynamical and thermodynamical processes, yet very little is known of its true state in the Arctic. This study finds that assimilating CryoSat-2 products for the mean thickness and the sub-grid-scale thickness distribution can have significant
consequences for the modelled distribution of the ice thickness across the Arctic and particularly in regions of thick multi-year ice. The
assimilation of sea ice concentration, mean sea ice thickness and sub-grid-scale sea ice thickness distribution together performed best when
compared to a subset of CryoSat-2 observations held back for validation. Regional model biases are reduced: the thickness of the thickest ice in the
Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) is decreased, but the thickness of the ice in the central Arctic is increased. When comparing the assimilation of
mean thickness with the assimilation of sub-grid-scale thickness distribution, it is found that the latter leads to a significant change in the
volume of ice in each category. Estimates of the thickest ice improve significantly with the assimilation of sub-grid-scale thickness distribution
alongside mean thickness.
Mediation in Cambodia: Current Status, Development and Prospects
Authors: Sok Leang
Published: June 2023

This article explores the current status, development and prospects of mediation in Cambodia. Various alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms such as mediation, arbitration, conciliation and negotiation are still in the process of finding their proper places in the dispute resolution eco-system. Principle-based mediation in particular, is in its infancy, including its concepts, the role of mediators as compared to that of conciliators or arbitrators and the incorporation of mediation by lawyers and arbitrators in their respective practices. Various stakeholders including government, local and international private sector and community organizations are at different stages in their exploration of mediation as well. Institutions providing labour and commercial arbitration are seeking opportunities to provide mediation services, while different laws have incorporated sections dealing specifically with mediation. These have created potential opportunities for mediation to develop and grow in the current context of Cambodia, including deliberations on the ratification of the Singapore Convention on Mediation.

Introduction to Mediation in Malaysia
Authors: Abraham Shanti
Published: June 2023

Mediation has been in Malaysia as a modern problem-solving mechanism for over twenty years. Mediation has found its way into many industries in Malaysia. Institutions have been established to train mediators and to also facilitate the registration of cases for mediation and appointment of mediators. Malaysia is one of the first in the region to have a Mediation Act and features interesting clauses including immunity for trained mediators. Apart from court-annexed mediation which often is carried out in the absence of lawyers, private ad hoc or institutional mediation is also part of the Malaysian mediation landscape and lawyers generally have a larger and more important role in first designing a mediation overture and then supporting their client to conclusion.
Mediation in South Korea
Authors: Youn Kim Sae , Choi Joonhak
Published: June 2023

In Korea, there is a common notion that mediation is conducted mostly by the court, and many civil disputes are in fact handled by court-annexed mediations. Court-annexed mediations are commenced either by the parties’ application or when the court hearing a litigation case decides to refer it to mediation. Mediation cases are handled by a designated mediation judge in each court, but the judge may appoint a standing mediation member or a three-member mediation committee to mediate the case instead. When a court hearing a litigation case decides to refer the case to mediation, it may also determine to conduct mediation by itself instead of sending the case to a designated mediation judge. A successfully concluded mediation will be recorded as a “record of voluntary mediation”, and such record is granted the same effect as a final and conclusive judgment. Meanwhile, private mediations that are conducted outside the court as well as international mediations are prevalent in Korea as yet, but interest in those fields is recently growing among legal practitioners.

Published: June 2023

The introduction of the institution of mediation into the Belarusian legislation took place in 2013, and since that time there has been an expansion of the scope of its practical application. Using the analysis method in the study three groups of mediation application areas in the Republic of Belarus were identified: the most popular mediation application areas (family mediation; commercial mediation; mediation in criminal proceedings); potentially demand mediation spheres (school mediation; environmental mediation; labor mediation); not applicable (guardianship; adoption; domestic violence). A legal description of the institution of family mediation in the Republic of Belarus has been developed and proposals to improve legislation in the field of family mediation have been formulated.

Early childhood education is a key component in any child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development. It is our position, that domestic media coverage of early childhood educators consistently fails to emphasize the significance of their expertise as opposed to their peers in other areas. With regards to the COVID 19 pandemic, it has predominantly been health professions that where subject of debate. The purpose of this study is to survey associations between demands and resources of early childhood educators with respect to exhaustion and work engagement. Results show, that high workloads and a shortage of staff lead to psychological exhaustion, whereas recognition from superiors, gratification and autonomy is related with high work engagement among staff. The results also show that a variety of resources can reduce the feeling of exhaustion.

Authors: Hofbauer Gabriela
Published: June 2023

The transition into a new task or a new phase of life is a sensitive and formative phase, which is particularly important in elementary education. The process of familiarisation from the professional field to teaching at an educational institution for elementary education is also decisive for further professional development in the organisation. Unfortunately, up to now there have been no concepts to accompany the career entry phase into teaching with specific support methods. By means of an exploratory data collection, this article not only shows the need for support, but also the positive effect of mentoring combined with elements of coaching, as research findings from primary school already show and is therefore recommended as a beneficial intervention.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: In this case-control study, we explored the relationships among pelvic ischemia, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and sexual function in patients with common iliac artery steno-occlusive disease, along with the potential therapeutic role of revascularization.Methods: We recruited 33 men diagnosed with radiologically documented common iliac artery stenosis (>80%) who underwent endovascular revascularization, and 33 healthy controls. Five patients had obstruction of the abdominal aorta (Leriche syndrome). The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Overactive Bladder Questionnaire, and International Index of Erectile Function were used to evaluate LUTS and erectile function. Medical history, anthropometrics, urinalysis, and blood tests, including levels of serum prostate-specific antigen, urea, creatinine, triglycerides, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and hemoglobin A1c, were recorded. Uroflow (maximum flow, average flow, voided volume, and voiding time) and ultrasound parameters (prostate volume and postvoid residual [PVR]) were also measured. Patients with moderate-to-severe LUTS (IPSS>7) underwent complete urodynamic investigation. Patients were examined at baseline and 6 months postoperatively.Results: Patients exhibited poorer total IPSS (P<0.001), storage (P=0.001) and voiding symptom (P<0.001) subscores, as well as worse OAB-bother (P=0.015), OAB-sleep (P<0.001), OAB-coping (P<0.001), and OAB-total (P<0.001) scores than control participants. Additionally, erectile function (P=0.002), sexual desire (P<0.001), and satisfaction from intercourse (P=0.016) deteriorated in the patient group. Six months postoperatively, significant improvements were observed in erectile function (P=0.008), orgasm (P=0.021), and desire (P=0.014). Similarly, PVR significantly improved (P=0.012), while fewer patients experienced increased bladder sensation (P=0.035) and detrusor overactivity (P=0.035) upon postoperative urodynamic study. No significant differences were found between patients with bilateral and unilateral obstruction or between either of those groups and Leriche syndrome patients.Conclusions: Patients with steno-occlusive disease of the common iliac artery experienced more severe LUTS and sexual dysfunction than healthy controls. Endovascular revascularization alleviated LUTS in patients with moderate-to-severe symptoms and improved bladder and erectile function.
Comprehensive Analysis of Individual Anatomical Structures for Micturition Symptoms and Maximum Flow Rate in Men With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia/Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
Authors: Kim Dae Ho , Lee Kwang Suk , Koo Kyo Chul , Chung Byung Ha , Yoo Jeong Woo
Published: June 2023

Purpose: Individual anatomical structural variations, including intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP), prostatic urethral angle (PUA), prostatic urethral length, or prostatic apex shape, were correlated with micturition symptoms. We aimed to investigate the effects of these variables on micturition symptoms in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)/lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).Methods: This observational study was based on data from 263 men with the first visit to health promotion center and without BPH/LUTS treatment between March 2020 and September 2022. A multivariate analysis was performed to determine the variables affecting total international prostate symptom score, maximum flow rate (Qmax), and voiding efficacy (postvoid residual volume to total bladder volume ratio).Results: Of 263 patients, decreasing PUA increases the severity of international prostate symptoms score (mild, 141.9°; moderate, 136.0°; severe, 131.2°; P<0.015). A multivariate analysis reported that the total international prostate symptom score was correlated with age (P=0.002), PUA (P=0.007), and Qmax (P=0.008). Qmax was negatively associated with IPP (P=0.002). In subanalysis for large prostate volume (≥30 mL, n=81), international prostate symptom score was correlated with PUA (P=0.013), Qmax was correlated with prostatic apex shape (P=0.017), and length of proximal prostatic urethra (P=0.007). IPP was not identified as a significant factor. For small prostate volume (<30 mL, n=182), age (P=0.011) and prostate volume (P=0.004) are correlated with increasing Qmax.Conclusions: This study presented that individual anatomical structure variations influenced the micturition symptoms according to prostate volume. To identify the major resistant factors in men with BPH/LUTS, further studies are required to investigate which components played a role in major resistant factors for micturition symptoms.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: The main treatment options of neurogenic bladder remains catheterization and long-term oral medications. Metabolic interventions have shown good therapeutic results in many diseases. To date, no studies have characterized the metabolites of the detrusor muscle during neurogenic bladder. Using metabolomics, new muscle metabolomic signatures were identified to reveal the temporal metabolic profile of muscle during disease progression.Methods: We used 42 Sprague-Dawley rats (200±20 g, males) for T10 segmental spinal cord injury modeling and collected detrusor tissue and performed nontargeted metabolomics after sham surgery, 30-minute, 6-hour, 12-hour, 24-hour, 5-day, and 2-week postmodelling, to identify the dysregulated metabolic pathways and key metabolites.Results: By comparing mzCloud, mzVault, MassList, we identified a total of 1,271 metabolites and enriched a total of 12 metabolism-related pathways with significant differences (P<0.05) based on Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis. Metabolites in several differential metabolic pathways such as ascorbate and aldarate metabolism, Steroid hormone biosynthesis, and carbon metabolism are altered in a regular manner before and after ridge shock.Conclusions: Our study is the first time-based metabolomic study of rat forced urinary muscle after traumatic spinal cord injury, and we identified multiple differential metabolic pathways during injury that may improve long-term management strategies for neurogenic bladder and reduce costs in long-term treatment.
The Role of Media in Stereotypical Representation of Muslims in My Name is Khan
Authors: Shakoor Abdul , Jehanzeb Gulnaz , Rani Saima , Haq Ihtisham ul
Published: June 2023

This study aims at providing answers to the questions of how Muslims were portrayed in Western media before and especially after 9/11, as well as how the dominant role of popular media helped spread stereotypical representations of Muslims throughout the world and create numerous obstacles for Muslims who live both abroad and at home. The study project emphasises the detrimental impact of media on Muslims, the historical context of distortion, foreign policy, and public opinion, as well as the crucial role of the Indian filmmaker in presenting his own viewpoint to the world through the chosen film.  Because of the biassed media representations, an examination of the movie My Name Is Khan reveals to the public the untrue face, the harmful attitudes, and the lifestyle of Muslims. As a result, the west's media gave an inaccurate and biased portrayal of Islam and its adherents, particularly because of the American government's partial response to 9/11, the influence of oriental ideas, and the dearth of Muslim voices in creating their own image. Additionally, media portrayals of Muslims were unfavourable and completely at odds with their liberal worldviews. These conclusions provide an explanation for why Muslims suffered because of the stereotyped image of Muslims and Islam in the west media in such a short period of time. This article will assist in exposing the unfavourable perception that Muslims have as a result of the media's enormous influence, but more study is also necessary to understand Muslims' attitudes and behaviours towards life and other people.

História de vida de mulheres em situação de violência doméstica e familiar no município e familiar no município de Sumé-PB.
Authors:   , da Silva Santos Rosângela
Published: June 2023

A violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher é um dos problemas sociais apontados principalmente pelo movimento feminista e de mulheres no Brasil desde os anos 70, e que a partir de então, vem sendo amplamente debatido nos espaços públicos. O objetivo deste estudo é apreender o fenômeno da violência doméstica e familiar a partir da revisão dos casos atendidos pelo Centro de Referência Especializado de Assistência Social (CREAS) no Município de Sumé, localizado no Cariri Ocidental da Paraíba. Em decorrência da inexistência de registros de pesquisas realizadas acerca do referido tema nesta localidade, optou-se pela pesquisa exploratória com abordagem qualitativa mediante a utilização de técnica de história de vida, sendo a amostra do estudo constituída por três (03) mulheres que sofreram este tipo de violência especificamente física. Para tanto, utilizou-se como instrumento de coleta de dados, um roteiro de condução de entrevista, contendo vinte (20) perguntas distribuídas em três (03) blocos temáticos. Os dados obtidos na pesquisa demonstraram que as entrevistadas sofreram em consequência da violência doméstica durante a infância, bem como apontaram alguns elementos recorrentes na dinâmica da violência, tais como, a presença do álcool, enquanto um agente catalisador da violência e o ciúme. Constatou-se também, que estas possuíam conhecimento de outras mulheres que foram agredidas por seus companheiros, mas que não dirigiram-se a nenhuma instituição para enfrentamento deste problema, o que possibilitou percebermos uma maior extensão do mesmo. Estas foram algumas considerações sobre os resultados da pesquisa que longe de serem conclusivos suscitam diversas indagações sobre o fenômeno estudado.

Authors:   , Josivânia de Souza Silva Maria
Published: June 2023

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar e refletir sobre o ensino da disciplina de Sociologia no Ensino Médio no Cariri Ocidental da Paraíba, tendo como referencial o planejamento de quatro professoras de Sociologia da rede estadual de ensino da Paraíba e as propostas teóricas e metodológicas das Orientações Curriculares Nacionais para o Ensino Médio- OCNs. Esta pesquisa caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa descritiva, pois os dados serão submetidos a uma análise comparativa para verificar a compatibilidade entre as propostas das OCNs e o planejamento e desenvolvimento das práticas docente das professoras. Serão utilizados dados colhidos por meio da pesquisa documental e da técnica da entrevista semiestruturada. O foco principal dessa pesquisa é enfatizar a necessidade de que a disciplina de Sociologia seja ministrada por profissionais que tenham formação acadêmica adequada, ou seja, em Ciências Sociais ou em Sociologia. Como resultado dessa pesquisa podemos afirmar que a disciplina de Sociologia ainda é vista como uma disciplina transversal que pode ser ministrada por qualquer profissional, também fica evidente que algumas concepções e práticas docentes das professoras que não possuem a formação adequada para o ensino dessa disciplina não são compatíveis com as propostas das OCNs.
Notas sociológicas sobre as secas no nordeste.
Authors:   , Brito Ramos Daniela
Published: June 2023

Desde os tempos mais remotos da história, a região Nordeste atravessa severos períodos de estiagem e neste século, desde o final do ano de 2011, a região tem apresentado a mais baixa precipitação de chuvas dos últimos cinquenta anos, fato que tem desencadeado uma série de problemas no âmbito econômico, político e social, e mais uma vez tem ocasionado o flagelo dos animais e a migração do homem do campo. Este trabalho monográfico, objetiva, portanto, apresentar as ações governamentais de combate à seca na região Nordeste e será dividido em três partes a saber. A primeira delas apresentará um levantamento histórico das secas que causaram maiores impactos num percurso que vai dos séculos XVI até os momentos atuais. Num segundo momento buscar-se-á apontar as ações de combate à seca fomentadas pelo Estado através da intervenção hidráulica e a intervenção econômica. Numa terceira e última etapa será apresentada uma síntese sobre a atual seca e a perspectiva do desenvolvimento sustentável do Semiárido. Assim, o presente estudo trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa e de cunho bibliográfico constituída pela relevância do conhecimento sobre a região local e pela importância do disseminar do tema “seca” em abordagens sociológicas no âmbito da educação básica.
Possibilidades de aproveitamento do rejeito das indústrias de beneficiamento do caulim para a produção de tinta ecológica à base de terra.

A busca pela sustentabilidade tem feito com que as empresas reavaliem sua atuação na busca por produtos, serviços e processos que causem menos impactos ambientais, ajustando-se às demandas do mercado, cada vez mais exigente. No setor da mineração, as práticas produtivas representam atividade com grande dano ambiental, sobretudo quando se considera o beneficiamento. Na Paraíba, a exploração do caulim produz elevado percentual de resíduo, cuja disposição inadequada causa diversos impactos negativos ao ambiente. A pesquisa objetivou apresentar fundamentos teóricos e práticos para embasar o uso do rejeito do caulim na confecção de tinta ecológica (geotinta), como alternativa sustentável. Utilizou-se um estudo de caso para contextualizar o tema. O rejeito do caulim foi coletado às margens da BR 230, próximo ao município de Juazeirinho-PB. A tinta ecológica foi preparada utilizando-se o rejeito, água e cola branca. Para verificação do potencial da tinta ecológica, foi pintada uma parede de alvenaria. Os resultados preliminares atestam que este resíduo caulinítico é uma excelente matéria-prima para fabricação de tinta ecológica, demonstrando, potencial para ser utilizado na pintura de paredes internas. Concluí-se que há viabilidade na utilização do rejeito do caulim como alternativa para a confecção de tinta ecológica, oportunizando novo direcionamento de uso desse material descartado no ambiente.
