The purpose of this study is to see how effective learning is, especially at this time where online learning is based. In addition, this research is also to see whether students experience a decrease in enthusiasm or not when carrying out online learning. And also to see how students can get enthusiasm and motivation in carrying out online learning today. The study used descriptive qualitative methods, using interview, observation and documentation techniques. The research subjects took place on students of the Pancasila and Citizenship Education Study Program at the Indonesian Education University Batch 2020 with 6 students as representatives. Based on the results of research conducted through interviews, it is known that online learning is carried out by utilizing LMS (Learning Management System) facilities and using zoom, google meet, and whatsapp applications as suggestions to help in the learning process. The results also show that during online learning students feel bored and their motivation to learn decreases. The factors that cause learning motivation to decrease are because the implementation of online learning is monotonous, the same learning routine without any changes and the lack of direct interaction between students and lecturers. Students want interactive online learning, namely there is an intense and not monotonous two-way interaction and learning is not only done online but in several meetings it is hoped that it will be done face-to-face.

Winnicott e a filosofia
Authors: Martins André
Published: August 2023

Donald Woods Winnicott (1896-1971) é um psicanalista e teórico da psicanálise peculiar. Não há, na psicanálise de um modo geral ou na história da psicanálise, quem coloque em questão o fato de que sua clínica e seu trabalho teórico inserem-se no escopo da psicanálise, da clínica psicanalítica e do saber psicanalítico – como se faz, por exemplo, com Jung, mesmo esse tendo sido, um dia, um psicanalista da predileção de Freud e presidente da International Psychoanalysis Association (IPA), ou com Reich, autores de origem psicanalítica, mas que, é verdade, terminaram por fundar outras escolas psicoterapêuticas. No entanto, parece inegável que tanto a clínica winnicottiana, que se alinharia à de Sándor Ferenczi, quanto, e ainda mais claramente, sua teoria psicanalítica, inauguram um novo paradigma em psicanálise.
A grande identidade Spinoza-Winnicott Ou a força vital da imanência
Authors: Martins André
Published: August 2023

Deleuze considerava haver entre Spinoza e Nietzsche “uma grande identidade”, baseada na afirmação da imanência, comum a ambos os filósofos. Neste trabalho, a partir do ponto de vista da imanência, apresenta-se como evidente a grande identidade entre Spinoza e Winnicott. São inúmeros os pontos de proximidade entre estes dois pensadores, entre os quais o presente estudo analisará: (i) a união entre corpo e mente ou psique; (ii) a força vital ou a potência do conatus, em oposição a uma pretensa originariedade de uma pulsão de morte, sendo o reconhecimento dessa força vital a base necessária da proposta terapêutica de ambas as teorias; (iii) a vida vivida por um falso self e os afetos passivos que diminuem a potência de agir do indivíduo, assim como, em contrapartida, a força criativa do verdadeiro self e a potência criativa dos afetos ativos; (iv) a afirmação da imanência como causa e efeito da não dissociação entre a ideia do corpo e a ideia da ideia, e o spliting como origem do adoecimento emocional e psíquico.
A importância da esfera familiar na eticidade democrática na concepção teórico crítica de Axel Honneth
Authors: Schimiti Josilene , Feldhaus Charles
Published: August 2023

O estudo pretende investigar a construção da eticidade democrática no contexto das estruturas das relações intersubjetivas familiares no pensamento de Axel Honneth. O tema terá como foco as obras O Direito da Liberdade (2015) e Luta por reconhecimento (2003). Honneth reconstrói as transformações da organização familiar e considera o mecanismo afetivo do amor como uma categoria do reconhecimento recíproco. Essas considerações de Honneth são fortemente inspiradas na teoria psicológica de Winnicott a respeito do desenvolvimento psicológico no interior da família. No que diz respeito à eticidade democrática, isso implica uma realização dos valores como respeito, solidariedade e cooperação dentro da esfera de vinculação e interação de vida social familiar. Esta relação torna-se constitutiva para a formação dos valores para a reprodução político-moral de sociedades democráticas. Portanto, como é possível promover eticidade democrática no ambiente familiar? O conceito de família é expandido por Honneth numa dimensão do ethos social, em que os padrões mantedores do vínculo familiar devem ser orientados e compreendidos dentro de contextos históricos mutáveis. É importante ressaltar que Winnicott ocupa um papel importante no pensamento de Axel Honneth e esse estudo pretende enfatizar esse aspecto quando oportuno.
Alguns apontamentos clínicos (e críticos) ao “Existir num mundo que não quer nada”
Authors: Borges Hélia
Published: August 2023

Este artigo se debruça sobre contribuições de Winnicott à clínica psicanalítica em ressonância com observações traçadas por Deliny, como na ideia do agir. Winnicott instaura uma distância crítica ao modelo psicanalítico clássico, restituindo ao pensamento sua dimensão problemática e aproximandose, portanto, de clínicos, pesquisadores e filósofos atuais que se posicionam na contramão da condição, cada vez mais violenta, das práticas de assujeitamento. A proposição é interrogar a prática clínica no que se refere à oferta de um ambiente favorável, um topos, capaz de ativar o que está em potência, possibilitando o pensar de outro modo, o perceber de outro modo, indissociáveis de um processo permanente de criação.
Foucault e Winnicott: a vida criativa como contraponto ao biopoder
Authors: Mizrahi Beatriz Gang
Published: August 2023

Para Foucault o biopoder tem efeitos contínuos sobre as forças, erguendo-se supostamente em defesa da vida social. Essa forma de poder produziu um sujeito que se acreditava um perigo social a ser sempre regulado para viabilizar a vida em sociedade. Se a Psicanálise clássica contribuiu para a produção desse antagonismo entre indivíduo e sociedade, postulando o caráter anti-social das pulsões em função da pulsão de morte, Winnicott rompe com esse dito antagonismo ao abandonar o conceito de pulsão de morte. Considerando apenas a vitalidade criativa, que não se realiza na violência, mas no encontro com a potência vital de um outro, ele nos permite pensar uma ética imanente, que não depende do controle mas do cuidado de si, baseado no cuidado ambiental recebido pelo sujeito. Tal concepção pode ser aproximada da experiência de uma ética imanente que Foucault reconheceu nas amizades, pois nessas relações se busca a potência do parceiro, não a partir do controle de si, mas como forma de intensificar a própria potência criativa. Embora ambos os autores contribuam assim para inspirar formas de resistência, uma diferença pode ser percebida na ênfase que Winnicott dá à continuidade do ser como aspecto fundamental desse viver potente e criativo.

A Geometria é um ramo da matemática que estuda as propriedades e medidas de figuras no espaço, como pontos, linhas, planos e sólidos, sendo fundamental para uma variedade de campos, desde a arte e arquitetura até a física e a engenharia, permitindo-nos compreender e navegar pelo mundo ao redor. Este artigo traz os resultados de uma pesquisa que teve o objetivo de analisar as influências de Platão e Euclides na evolução da geometria. Através do estudo das obras destes pensadores, foi possível entender a contribuição significativa que eles deram para a geometria. Platão, com a sua teoria das ideias, impactou a interpretação dos números e formas geométricas. Euclides, com o tratado “Os Elementos”, estabeleceu a geometria euclidiana. Ambas as contribuições são vitais para a compreensão atual da geometria. Limitações deste estudo e oportunidades para pesquisas futuras também foram mencionadas, abrindo espaço para mais investigações nesse campo.

Authors: Gladis R. , Ashok Ajin P. , Joseph Biju , Rehana M. R.
Published: August 2023

Aims: Soil quality assessment is valuable for agricultural production. In this study, 150 soil samples at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depths were collected from Kaipad land (Agroecological unit 7) of Kerala to assess the quality and nutrient index.

Study Design: Survey, collection of sample and principal component analysis.

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, College of Agriculture, Vellayani between 2020 and 2021.

Methodology: Soil samples were collected from AEU 7 and analyzed for physical, chemical and biological indicators for evaluating soil quality. Principal component analysis (PCA) was carried out with 13 soil parameters which resulted in 6 principal components and a minimum data set (MDS) of nine parameters (pH, EC, organic carbon, available N, Mg, K, B, P and Zn) with eigen values greater than 1, which were used for computing soil quality index. Nutrient index was computed for organic carbon, available N, P and K. Thematic maps on SQI and NI were prepared using geographical information system (GIS).

Results: The results revealed that the Kaipad soils (AEU 9) are sandy clay loam in texture, extreme to strong acid condition (pH 3.5- 5.0), high in organic carbon, low in available N and K, medium in available P, deficient in available Ca, Mg and B. Majority (88%) of the soils are rated medium in soil quality. Relative soil quality index ranged between 47.5 and 76.3 per cent in the Kaipad soils with a mean of 61.0 per cent.

Conclusion: The soils of Kaipad (AEU 7) under different agricultural land uses experiences various constraints to crop production like extremely acidic pH, high electrical conductivity, . nutrient deficiencies of N, K, Ca, Mg, B and toxicities of Fe and Al. Examining the relationships of soil parameters by principal component analysis indicated that nine soil parameters such as pH, EC, organic carbon, available N, Mg, K, P, Zn and B have significantly contributed to soil quality index, which are the important key indicators of soil quality. The soil quality index was medium for Kaipad soil. Nutrient index was high for organic carbon, low for available N, medium for available P and low for available K.

Published: August 2023

Aim: To determine the effect of different micronutrient applications olive for its growth quality.

Study Design: Randomized Block Design was used in experiments.

Place and Duration: The present investigation was carried out at the Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh during the 2021-2022.

Methodology: The use of micronutrients sprays in olive cultivation is a common practice to address nutrient deficiencies, enhance plant health and increase flowering and improve fruit quality. These sprays contain essential minerals like iron, zinc, manganese, and boron, which are readily absorbed by the olive trees through their leaves. Micronutrients sprays help to correct imbalances, improve nutrient uptake, and boost overall growth and fruit development. They are particularly effective in regions with poor soil conditions or where specific micronutrient deficiencies are prevalent, ensuring healthy olive trees and optimal yield of high-quality fruits.

Results: Among the various treatments applied to enhance the Flowering, Fruit set, fruit Yield, Fruit quality and Oil quality of Olive cultivars, treatment T10 (Boron @ 150 ppm + Zinc @ ppm + NAA@ 150 ppm + GA3 @ 150 ppm) was found to be superior among others, followed by treatment T5 (Boron @ 100ppm + Zinc @ 100 ppm + NAA @ 100ppm + GA3 @ 100ppm) and treatment T0 (control) was found to be inferior. It is also concluded that among all cultivars, Arbequina cultivar was found best. Thus, treatment T10 (Boron @ 150 ppm + Zinc @ ppm + NAA@ 150 ppm + GA3 @ 150 ppm) with Arbequina cultivar is best recommended for overall flowering and fruiting characters of olive like, days to flowering, number of flowers per panicle, fruit drop percentage, fruit diameter, fruit length, fruit weight, fruit yield per tree, fruit yield per hectare, oil content, total suspended solids (TSS) of fruit.

Conclusion: Therefore, T10 (Boron @ 150 ppm + Zinc @ ppm + NAA@ 150 ppm + GA3 @ 150 ppm) with Arbequina cultivar is recommended for growing.

The use of chiral covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as active elements in photodetectors to directly identify circularly polarized light (CPL) can meet the requirement of integration and miniaturization of the as‐fabricated devices. Herein, the design and synthesis of two isoreticular chiral two‐dimensional (2D) COFs (CityU‐7 and CityU‐8) by introducing photosensitive porphyrin‐based amines (5,10,15,20‐tetrakis(4‐aminophenyl)porphyrin) to enhance the optical absorption and chiral aldehyde linkage (2,5‐bis((S/R))‐2‐methylbutoxy)terephthalaldehyde) to engender chirality for direct CPL detection  are  reported. Their crystalline structures  were  confirmed by powder X‐ray diffraction, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, and low‐dose transition electron microscopy. Employing both chiral COFs as the active layers in photodetectors, left‐handed circularly (LHC) and right‐handed circularly (RHC) polarized light at 405 nm can be well distinguishable with short response time, high responsivity, and satisfying detectivity. The study provides the first example on the design and synthesis of chiral COFs for direct detection of CPL.

Published: August 2023

This study examined the health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving tislelizumab versus docetaxel in the open‐label, multicenter, Phase 3 trial called RATIONALE‐303 (NCT03358875). HRQoL was assessed with the EORTC QLQ‐C30, EORTC QLQ‐LC13, and the EQ‐5D‐5L instruments. A longitudinal analysis of covariance assessed the change from baseline to Week 12 and from baseline to Week 18. A time to deterioration analysis was also performed using the Kaplan–Meier method. Eight hundred and five patients were randomized to either tislelizumab (n = 535) or docetaxel, respectively (535 and 270 to tislelizumab and docetaxel, respectively). The tislelizumab arm improved while the docetaxel arm worsened in the QLQ‐C30 global health status/QoL scale score (difference LS mean change Week 18: 5.7 [95% CI: 2.38, 9.07, p = 0.0008]), fatigue (Week 12: ‐3.2 [95% CI: −5.95, −0.37, p < 0.0266]; Week 18: −4.9 [95% CI: −8.26, −1.61, p = 0.0037]), and QLQ‐LC13 symptom index score (Week 12: −5.5 [95% CI: −6.93, −4.04, P < 0.0001]; Week 18: −6.6 [95% CI: −8.25, −4.95, p < 0.0001]). The tislelizumab arm had improvements in coughing versus the docetaxel arm (Week 12: −4.7 [95% CI: −8.57, −0.78, p = 0.0188]; Week 18: −8.3 [95% CI: −13.02, −3.51, p = 0.0007]). The patients who received tislelizumab were less at risk for clinically meaningful worsening in the overall lung cancer symptom index scale (hazard ratio (HR): 0.24 [95% CI: 0.162, 0.356], p < 0.0001), dyspnea (HR: 0.74 [95% CI: 0.567, 0.958], p = 0.0109), coughing (HR: 0.74 [95% CI: 0.534, 1.019], p = 0.0309), and peripheral neuropathy (HR: 0.55 [95% CI: 0.370, 0.810] p = 0.0011). In general, tislelizumab versus docetaxel was associated with improved HRQoL and symptoms of lung cancer in patients who previously failed treatment with platinum‐containing chemotherapy.

We consider the single‐conflict coloring problem, a graph coloring problem in which each edge of a graph receives a forbidden ordered color pair. The task is to find a vertex coloring such that no two adjacent vertices receive a pair of colors forbidden at an edge joining them. We show that for any assignment of forbidden color pairs to the edges of a ‐degenerate graph on vertices of edge‐multiplicity at most , colors are always enough to color the vertices of in a way that avoids every forbidden color pair. This answers a question of Dvořák, Esperet, Kang, and Ozeki for simple graphs.
The effect of the kinetoplast edge loop on network percolation

Published: August 2023

We use graph theory simulations and single molecule experiments to investigate percolation properties of kinetoplasts, the topologically linked mitochondrial DNA from trypanosome parasites. The edges of some kinetoplast networks contain a fiber of redundantly catenated DNA loops, but previous investigations of kinetoplast topology did not take this into account. Our graph simulations track the size of connected components in lattices as nodes are removed, analogous to the removal of minicircles from kinetoplasts. We find that when the edge loop is taken into account, the largest component after the network de‐percolates is a remnant of the edge loop, before it undergoes a second percolation transition and breaks apart. This implies that stochastically removing minicircles from kinetoplast DNA would isolate large polycatenanes, which is observed in experiments that use photonicking to stochastically destroy kinetoplasts from Crithidia fasciculata. Our results imply kinetoplasts may be used as a source of linear polycatenanes for future experiments.
On topological indices and entropies of diamond structure

Published: August 2023

A topological index is a numerical parameter that represents the molecular structure of a compound based on its graph‐theoretical properties. It provides a means to describe the structure‐activity relationship, as well as the physicochemical properties of the compound. Topological indices are used in various scientific fields, including chemistry, biology, and computer science, to study and predict the behavior of molecules. In this study, we concentrate on the calculation of M‐polynomials and entropy for the allotropic form of carbon, diamond. Algebraic operations are applied to these polynomials to obtain degree‐dependent topological invariants.

Abstract

We study the mixing of operators under renormalization group flow in quantum theories, and prove a non-renormalization theorem at non-linear order. It dictates zeros up to a certain number of loops in anomalous dimension tensors that control, for example, the mixing of operators at order dimension six squared into dimension eight. We obtain new results at up to three loops for the mass dimension eight anomalous dimension tensor of ϕ4 theory in D = 4 − 2ε dimensions and verify the zeros predicted by the theorem.
Mass spectrum in a six-dimensional SU(n) gauge theory on a magnetized torus

Published: August 2023

Abstract

We examine six-dimensional SU(n) gauge theories compactified on a two-dimensional torus with a constant magnetic flux background to obtain a comprehensive low-energy mass spectrum. We introduce general background configurations including the magnetic flux and continuous Wilson line phases, consistent with classical equations of motion. Under the standard gauge fixing procedure, the complete mass spectrum in low-energy effective theory for the SU(n) case is newly presented without imposing restrictions on the gauge fixing parameter. Our analysis confirms the inevitable existence of tachyonic modes, which neither depend on the background configurations of Wilson line phases nor are affected by the gauge fixing parameter. Masses for some low-energy modes exhibit dependence on the gauge fixing parameter, and these modes are identified as would-be Goldstone bosons that are absorbed by massive four-dimensional vector fields. We discuss the phenomenological implications associated with stabilization or condensation of the tachyonic states. Various mass spectra and symmetry-breaking patterns are expected with flux backgrounds in the SU(n) case. They are helpful for constructing phenomenologically viable models beyond the standard model, such as gauge-Higgs unification and grand unified theories.
A generic architecture of an affective recommender system for e-learning environments

Published: August 2023

Personalization of suggestions of contents plays a key role in adaptive virtual learning environments. Good recommendations can raise the interest of students in the learning process, while, on the other hand, bad recommendations can have catastrophic results for the learning process. The affective state of the student is a very influential factor in the learning process. In this work, a generic architecture of an affective recommender system for e-learning environments is developed, to serve as a guide for future implementations of this kind of recommender system. Here, the affective characteristics of students are represented by their personalities, learning styles, emotional states, and expertise levels. Thus, the main contribution is the proposition of a generic architecture of an affective recommendation system for the educational field. The architecture is completely modular, which gives it great flexibility because the emotion engine is separated from the personal characteristics engine, and is not based on specific models of emotions. This work finishes with examples of use cases of the architecture. According to the results in these examples, our architecture is capable of analyzing the polarity of academic documents based on their content, determining the personal characteristics of students (including their emotions), and from there, recommending learning resources to students considering emotions as the main element of the process.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a digital patient support (DPS) tool, complementary to standard care on continuous or automatic positive airway pressure (auto)CPAP adherence and daytime sleepiness after 12 weeks in patients diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). All patients with apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 30 per hour were prospectively included and randomized to receive standard care (SC) or standard care with personalized DPS via a mobile app prototype version (SC + DPS). Patients in the SC + DPS arm received additionally automated feedback on their therapy, motivational messages and therapy recommendations. 100 patients completed the study (SC: 50, SC + DPS: 50). No differences were found in characteristics of SC vs. SC + DPS (mean ± SD) for age (53.9 ± 10.8 vs. 51.7 ± 12.3 years), initial diagnostic apnea–hypopnea index (51.1 ± 15.5 vs. 50.9 ± 17.7 events/h), BMI (33.8 ± 6.7 vs. 33.5 ± 4.5 kg/m), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) baseline score (9.5 ± 4.2 vs. 9.1 ± 5.2). After 12 weeks, mean ESS score was significantly lower (SC: 7.6 ± 4.1 vs. SC + DPS: 5.5 ± 3.9; p = 0.006) in the SC + DPS group vs. standard care group. Therapy adherence was significantly higher (SC: 268.7 ± 122.1 vs. SC + DPS: 338.8 ± 106.8 min; p = 0.002) in the SC + DPS group compared to standard care group. No difference was found in the residual AHI between both groups. However, SC + DPS group showed a trend towards fewer phases with increased leakage compared to SC group. Intention-to-treat analysis (112 (56/56) patients) showed similar results. After 12 weeks, (auto)CPAP adherence and daytime sleepiness improved significantly in patients with severe OSA using the digital patient support tool.

Caring, Empathy, and the Commons
Authors: Lejano Raul P.
Published: August 2023

People are not autonomous individuals but connected beings. Curae ergo sum – we care, therefore we are. Relationality – which refers to the ethic and manner by which relational considerations govern decisions and institutional arrangements can take advantage of the power of connection – uncovers how social connection, across divides, moves people to act for the other. Drawing from research on empathy, social networks, and determinants of pro-social behavior, Caring, Empathy, and the Commons builds on Ostrom's Governing the Commons. It offers a different mechanism by which collective action is induced, arguing that, sometimes, the individual thinks not in terms of individual gain but in terms of the other. Developing this concept of relationality, this book explores various strands of literature and examines how this idea might be used to foster collective action around climate, species protection, fair trade, and other dilemmas of the commons.

Published: August 2023

Why do people fall in love? Does passion fade with time? What makes for a happy, healthy relationship? This introduction to relationship science follows the lifecycle of a relationship – from attraction and initiation, to the hard work of relationship maintenance, to dissolution and ways to strengthen a relationship. Designed for advanced undergraduates studying psychology, communication or family studies, this textbook presents a fresh, diversity-infused approach to relationship science. It includes real-world examples and critical-thinking questions, callout boxes that challenge students to make connections, and researcher interviews that showcase the many career paths of relationship scientists. Article Spotlights reveal cutting-edge methods, while Diversity and Inclusion boxes celebrate the variety found in human love and connection. Throughout the book, students see the application of theory and come to recognize universal themes in relationships as well as the nuances of many findings. Instructors can access lecture slides, an instructor manual, and test banks.
Remote sensing of glacier change (1965–2021) and identification of surge-type glaciers on Severnaya Zemlya, Russian High Arctic

Published: August 2023

Glaciers in the Russian High Arctic have undergone accelerated mass loss due to atmospheric and oceanic warming in the Barents–Kara Sea region. Most studies have concentrated on the western Barents–Kara sector, despite evidence of accelerating mass loss as far east as Severnaya Zemlya. However, long-term trends in glacier change on Severnaya Zemlya are largely unknown and this record may be complicated by surge-type glaciers. Here, we present a long-term assessment of glacier change (1965–2021) on Severnaya Zemlya and a new inventory of surge-type glaciers using declassified spy-satellite photography (KH-7/9 Hexagon) and optical satellite imagery (ASTER, Sentinel-2A, Landsat-4/5 TM and 8 OLI). Glacier area reduced from 17 053 km2 in 1965 to 16 275 in 2021 (−5%; mean: −18%, max: −100%), with areal shrinkage most pronounced at land-terminating glaciers on southern Severnaya Zemlya, where there is a recent (post-2010s) increase in summer atmospheric temperatures. We find that surging may be more widespread than previously thought, with three glaciers classified confirmed as surge-type, eight as likely to have surged and nine as possible, comprising 11% of Severnaya Zemlya's 190 glaciers (37% by area). Under continued warming, we anticipate accelerated retreat and increased likelihood of surging as basal thermal regimes shift.
Treaty amendment procedures: A typology from a survey of multilateral environmental agreements
Authors: Bélanger Louis , Morin Jean-Frédéric
Published: August 2023

Treaty amendments constitute a critical but under-researched aspect of international law. In this article, we present a comprehensive survey of 491 amendment procedures across 691 multilateral environmental agreements. We use this data collection to build a typology of amendment procedures based on various combinations of control, adaptability, and flexibility. We introduce the property space reduction method as a valuable tool for building typology and analysing international law. We find a clear trend towards the inclusion of amendment procedures, which makes treaties increasingly adaptable. This adaptability is generally coupled with flexibility to avoid infringing on consent. As a result, amended treaties risk being increasingly fragmented into differentiated bundles of obligations split among subsets of members. We also examine how key features of treaty membership, such as power distribution, correlate with the occurrence and types of amendment procedures.
High‐Resolution Near‐Surface Imaging at the Basin Scale Using Dark Fiber and Distributed Acoustic Sensing: Toward Site Effect Estimation in Urban Environments
Authors: Cheng Feng , Ajo‐Franklin Jonathan B. , Rodriguez Tribaldos Veronica
Published: August 2023

Near‐surface seismic structure, particularly the shear wave velocity (Vs), can strongly affect local site response, and should be accurately estimated for ground motion prediction during seismic hazard assessment. The Imperial Valley (California), occupying the southern end of the Salton Trough, is a seismically active basin with thick surficial lacustrine sedimentary deposits. In this study, we utilize ambient noise records and local earthquake events for high‐resolution near‐surface characterization and site effect estimation with an unlit fiber‐optic telecommunication infrastructure (dark fiber) in Imperial Valley by using the distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technique. We apply ambient noise interferometry to retrieve coherent surface waves from DAS records, and evaluate performances of three different surface wave methods on DAS ambient noise dispersion imaging. We develop a quality control workflow to improve the dispersion measurement of noisy portions of the DAS data set by using a data selection strategy. Using the joint inversion of both the fundamental mode and higher overtones of Rayleigh waves, a high resolution two‐dimensional (2D) Vs structure down to 70 m depth is obtained. We successfully achieve an improved Vs30 (the time‐averaged shear‐wave velocity in the top 30 m) model with higher spatial‐resolution and reliability compared to the existing community model for the area. We also explore the potential for utilizing DAS earthquake events for site amplification estimation. The preliminary results reveal a clear anti‐correlation between the approximated site response and the Vs30 profile. Our results indicate the potential utility of DAS deployed on dark fiber for near‐surface characterization in appropriate contexts.
