Volume, evolution, and sedimentation of future glacier lakes in Switzerland over the 21st century
Authors: Steffen Tim , Huss Matthias , Estermann Rebekka , Hodel Elias , Farinotti Daniel
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Ongoing climate change and associated glacier retreat is
causing rapid environmental change, including shifts in high-alpine
landscapes. Glacier lakes, which can form in topographical depressions left
behind by glacier retreat, are prominent features within such landscapes.
Whilst model-based estimates for the number and area of future glacier lakes
exist for various mountain regions across the world, the exact morphology
and temporal evolution remain largely unassessed. Here, we leverage a
recently released, measurement-based estimate for the subglacial topography
of all glaciers in the Swiss Alps to provide an estimate about the number,
size, time of emergence, and sediment infill of future glacier lakes.
The topographical information is based on 2450 km of measured ice thickness
profiles, whilst the temporal evolution of glaciers is obtained from a
glacier evolution model forced with an ensemble of climate projections. We
estimate that up to 683 potential lakes with an area >5000 m2 and a depth >5 m could emerge across the Swiss Alps if
glaciers were to disappear completely, with the potential to hold a total
water volume of up to 1.16 [1.05, 1.32] km3 (numbers and 95 %
confidence interval). For a middle-of-the-road climate scenario, we estimate
that about 10 % (0.12 [0.04, 0.18] km3) and 48 % (0.56 [0.26, 0.67] km3) of this volume could be realized by 2050 and 2100, respectively.
In a first-order assessment, we also estimate that ca. 45 % of the newly
emerging glacier lakes (260 out of 570) will be transient features, i.e.
will disappear again before the end of the century owing to refilling with
sediments released by glacial erosion and proglacial sediment transport.
A novel objective function DYNO for automatic multivariable calibration of 3D lake models
Authors: Xia Wei , Akhtar Taimoor , Shoemaker Christine A.
Published: July 2022

Abstract. This study introduced a novel Dynamically Normalized Objective Function (DYNO) for multivariable (i.e., temperature and velocity) model calibration problems. DYNO combines the error metrics of multiple variables into a single objective function by dynamically normalizing each variable's error terms using information available during the search. DYNO is proposed to dynamically adjust the weight of the error of each variable hence balancing the calibration to each variable during optimization search. DYNO is applied to calibrate a tropical hydrodynamic model where temperature and velocity observation data are used for model calibration simultaneously. We also investigated the efficiency of DYNO by comparing the calibration results obtained with DYNO with the results obtained through calibrating to temperature only and with the results obtained through calibrating to velocity only. The results indicate that DYNO can balance the calibration in terms of water temperature and velocity and that calibrating to only one variable (e.g., temperature or velocity) cannot
guarantee the goodness-of-fit of another variable (e.g., velocity or
temperature) in our case. Our study implies that in practical application, for an accurate spatially distributed hydrodynamic quantification, including direct velocity measurements is likely to be more effective than using only temperature measurements for calibrating a 3D hydrodynamic model. Our example problems were computed with a parallel optimization method PODS, but DYNO can also be easily used in serial applications.
A new skill score for ensemble flood maps: assessing spatial spread-skill with remote sensing observations
Authors: Hooker Helen , Dance Sarah L. , Mason David C. , Bevington John , Shelton Kay
Published: July 2022

Abstract. An ensemble of forecast flood inundation maps has the potential to represent the uncertainty in the flood forecast and provide a location specific, probabilistic, likelihood of flooding. This gives valuable information to flood forecasters, flood risk managers and insurers and will ultimately benefit people living in flood prone areas. Spatial verification of the ensemble flood map forecast against remotely observed flooding is important to understand both the skill of the ensemble forecast and the uncertainty represented in the variation or spread of the individual ensemble member flood maps. Previously, a scale-selective approach has been used to evaluate a convective precipitation ensemble forecast. This determines a skilful scale of ensemble performance. By extending this approach through a new application we evaluate the spatial predictability and the spatial spread-skill of an ensemble flood forecast across a domain of interest. The spatial spread-skill method computes an agreement scale at grid level between each unique pair of ensemble flood maps (ensemble spatial spread) and between each ensemble flood map with a SAR-derived flood map (ensemble spatial skill). By comparing these we can determine the spatial spread-skill performance. These methods are applied to an example flood event on the Brahmaputra River in the Assam region of India, August 2017. Both the spatial-skill and spread-skill relationship vary with location and can be related to physical characteristics of the flooding event. Routine validation and mapping of spatial predictability in an operational system would allow better quantification of model systematic biases and uncertainties. This would be particularly useful for ungauged catchments and would enable targeted model improvements to be made across different parts of the forecast chain.

Abstract. Rock glaciers are landforms related to permafrost creep that are sensitive
to climate variability and change. Their spatial distribution and kinematic
behaviour can be critical for managing water resources and geohazards in
periglacial areas. Rock glaciers have been inventoried for decades
worldwide, often without assessment of their kinematics. The availability of
remote sensing data however makes the inclusion of kinematic information
potentially feasible, but requires a common methodology in order to create
homogeneous inventories. In this context, the International Permafrost
Association (IPA) Action Group on rock glacier inventories and kinematics
(2018–2023), with the support of the European Space Agency (ESA) Permafrost
Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project, is defining standard guidelines for
the inclusion of kinematic information within inventories. Here, we
demonstrate the feasibility of applying common rules proposed by the Action
Group in 11 regions worldwide. Spaceborne interferometric synthetic
aperture radar (InSAR) was used to characterise identifiable moving areas
related to rock glaciers, applying a manual and a semi-automated approach.
Subsequently, these areas were used to assign kinematic information to rock
glaciers in existing or newly compiled inventories. More than 5000 moving
areas and more than 3600 rock glaciers were classified according to their
kinematics. The method and the preliminary results were analysed. We
identified drawbacks related to the intrinsic limitations of InSAR and to
various applied strategies regarding the integration of non-moving rock
glaciers in some investigated regions. This is the first internationally
coordinated work that incorporates kinematic attributes within rock glacier
inventories at a global scale. The results show the value of designing
standardised inventorying procedures for periglacial geomorphology.

La censura en la traducción: control y negociación en la China contemporánea
Authors: Zhang Bo
Published: July 2022

Este trabajo pretende mostrar el impacto que generó la censura en la traducción y recepción de obras occidentales vertidas al chino en la época contemporánea. Los análisis bibliográfico y lingüístico textual apuntan una marcada complicidad entre traductores y censores, dando pie a una tendencia traductológica que no siempre silencia los contenidos polémicos, sino que más bien opta por crear, mediante la adulteración de la obra original, discursos favorables a los intereses del régimen político chino. A pesar de ello, el análisis paratextual nos permite apreciar cómo en los casos seleccionados se han logrado deslizar mensajes claramente divergentes de la ideología dominante. Para precisar el alcance de este fenómeno sobre la traducción, en el futuro será necesario aumentar, lógicamente, el corpus de análisis y ampliar el espectro a todo tipo de géneros literarios.
Climate Change and Food Security: Steps towards Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Fahmida  , Chaudhary Amatul Razzaq , Hanif Uzma
Published: July 2022

With the commendation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations in 2015, the whole world is trying to accomplish these goals. All countries of the world are making efforts to achieve these goals. As compared to developed countries, developing countries are still far behind on the track of the sustainable development agenda. Realizing the goal of Zero Hunger (SDG 2) under climate change proves to be "challenging". Climate change can potentially be associated with eradicating hunger (SDG 2) worldwide, specifically in South Asia. Food security is considered a prerequisite to eradicating hunger and remains a challenge for developing countries. The study reconnoiters the potential footprints of climate change along with socio-economic variables on food security in climate-vulnerable food-insecure economies of Asia from 1980 to 2020. This study examines the impacts of variations in temperature on the supply of cereals for human consumption. The method of ARDL/PMG has been employed. There are two widely used techniques, i.e. FMOLS and DOLS, have also been employed to check the strength of the results. Outcomes of panel ARDL/PMG show that average yearly change in temperature has substantial and positive impacts on food security in the long run, but the square of the annual average change in temperature adversely and significantly impacts food security. Climate change has substantial and adverse effects on the food security of Bangladesh, Myanmar and Nepal but positive effects on Pakistan in the short run. From empirical outcomes, generalized and widespread policy guidelines have been endorsed to achieve food security (SDG 2) in the climate-vulnerable food-insecure economies of Asia. The study recommends evidence-based policy implications for the stakeholders of Asian economies.

The bovine production chain in Brazil is highlighted worldwide; however, researchers are seeking to improve production even further by evaluating the use of reproductive biotechnologies, such as the transfer of embryos at a fixed time. The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of estrus associated or not with the use of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), on the diameter of the dominant follicle, diameter of the corpus luteum, utilization rate and conception rate of receptors cows. The experiment was carried out in southern Brazil and 400 receptors cows were used, distributed in a 2x2 factorial scheme, considering estrus expression and GnRH administration. All receptors were synchronized and, on Day 10, their ovaries were evaluated and, based on estrus expression, they were distributed into 2 subgroups: with and without GnRH application. On Day 18, they had their ovaries evaluated and they were inovulated, and on Day 41, the pregnancy diagnosis was made. The expression of estrus increased the diameter of the dominant follicle and corpus luteum and the utilization rate of the recipient cows; however, it did not improve the conception rate. The administration of GnRH, with or without the expression of estrus, did not affect any of the studied variables.
Family Pipunculidae (Diptera) as endoparasitoids of the cicada: Agricultural pest (Homoptera)
Authors: Carlos Henrique Marchiori
Published: July 2022

The Pipunculidae Family are obligate endoparasitoids of Homoptera, notably Cicadellidae, Cercopidae, Delphacidae, Membracidae, Issidae, Cixiidae and Flatidae. They mainly attack their nymphs in different stages of development. It has been also recorded the development of some species of Neph rocerus Ikon, 1873 in Tipulids (Diptera: Tipulidae). Female flies usually look for suitable prey and introduce eggs into the host's hemocoel via a penetrating ovipositor. A host attacked by pipunculides is usually in the late nymphal stages; flies of the genus Verralia affect only the imaginal stage of the host (Cercopidae, whose nymphs live in foam masses and are therefore protected from pipunculids). The aim of this study is to report the characteristics of the family Pipunculidae endoparasitoids of cicada (Order Homoptera (Insecta: Homoptera). For this, a bibliographic survey of Scoliidae was carried out in the years 1919 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented in national and international scientific events were considered.

Higher nurse practitioner practice independence provides more effective solutions to modern health challenges such as health inequalities, aging society, and pandemic, etc. Nevertheless, consensus on nurse practitioners’ scope of practice is still underbuilding in Taiwan. While COVID-19 pandemic has drawn our attention towards cost-effective strategies to avoid system collapse, it is a great opportu­nity to redefine Taiwan nurse practitioner’s role in the pandemic and health care. Based on empirical evidence, the aim of this opinion paper is to critically describe what nurse practitioner independent practice is and how it can alleviate the burden on health system. We first presented the history and current status regarding nurse practitioners’ scope of practice in Taiwan and in other countries. Then we systematically discussed how governments in other countries temporarily expended or exempted the practice scope of nurse practitioner during the pandemic. We also commented on why nurse prac­titioners have the potential to solve healthcare resource shortages in difficult situations. Finally, we suggested to expend nurse practitioner’s role in Taiwan and hope to encourage relevant discussions and consensus building.

More than 60% of hemodialysis patients need surgical interventions for arteriovenous fistula stenosis or failure. Without adequate preventive treatments and follow-up actions, a high surgery rate resulting in increased medical costs is anticipated. The “ Clinical Care Guidelines of Non-Surgical Interven¬tions to Prevent Arteriovenous Fistula Failure” were developed through the following five phases. In phase one, a team was established for developing guidelines. In phase two, team members searched published literature before 2018 and identified seventeen related articles. In phase three, the level of evidence according to the 2015 Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) was evaluated. The first draft of the clinical guidelines included 23 items (the scope of the guidelines remaining un¬defined). In phase four, expert validity of the draft was assessed by 10 clinical experts. In phase five, 46 clinicians and 10 hemodialysis patients were invited to evaluate the feasibility of the guidelines, and 21 items were selected for the final version of the guidelines. The clinical care guidelines consist¬ed of 5 constructs with a total of 25 items, including the scope of the guidelines (4 items), pharmaco¬logical treatments for arteriovenous fistula failure (3 items), nursing measures during hemodialysis (6 items), home care measures (4 items), and routine follow-up and management (8 items). With the development of the guidelines, we expect to lower the reconstruction rate of arteriovenous fistula and reduce medical costs through the prevention of arteriovenous fistula failure in hemodialysis patients

 
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA), fatty acid and promising chelating agent for neurological ailments
Authors: Abdulkareem AlMomen  , Eleonore Blaurock-Busch
Published: July 2022

Alpha-lipoic acid, a sulphur-containing fatty acid, also known as thioctic acid, occurs as a coenzyme and component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in the mitochondria of almost all living things with a cell nucleus. As a natural substance, it is considered a safe, well tolerated chelating agent. Unlike the hydrophilic chelating agents DMSA, DMPS or EDTA, which are prescription items, not easily available in some countries, the lipophilic α-lipoic acid (ALA) is a natural substance and as such not regulated as strictly. It has the ability to pass the blood brain barrier (BBB) and can thus penetrate all areas of the nervous system. Consequently, current research investigates whether and to what extent oral administration influences the development of metal-based multiple sclerosis (MS) and M. Alzheimer. With our clinical research we could confirm ALAs metal-binding ability and the extend of urinary excretion for the metals Arsenic, Barium, Manganese, Mercury and Nickel following oral application. We established a treatment protocol, suitable for people of all ages and confirmed the safety of ALA, if given in moderate doses.

On the CBCT view, dentine thicknesses of mesiobuccal (MB), mesiolingual (ML), and distal roots were measured. The reference point was determined as 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm below the furcation of mandibular molars. Statistical analysis was performed. Results: The discrepancy between CBCT and panoramic was 0.5 mm for MB, 0.48 mm for ML, and 0.43 mm for distal. The difference in the dentin thickness between 3 mm and 5 mm is not statistically significant(P>.05), whereas the 4 mm furcation level was significantly lower in either 3 mm and 5 mm for each root canal. This study showed that 0.5 mm distortion occurred in the danger zone on panoramic radiography. Conclusion: Our study showed that the dentin thickness of less than 1 mm in panoramic radiography is more prone to perforation because of distortion. The dentin thickness was lowest at 4 mm below the furcation. Our results can be a guide the clinicians in clinics or institutions where periapical radiography is not available.

Avoiding Middle-Income Trap: Case of China
Authors: Zeman Mário
Published: July 2022

The middle-income trap is a relatively new concept that became very popular after the financial crisis in 2008. It describes countries that have managed to develop economically from low-income countries to middle-income countries. However, the initial determinants of economic growth have exhausted their potential, and therefore these countries have stagnated economically. China is also currently one of the middle-income countries that a middle-income trap could potentially threaten. We used various absolute and relative methods to determine whether China is in the middle-income trap. However, we did not reach unambiguous conclusions, as the individual methods generated mixed results. The development of other factors such as composition of exports, the enrolment of universities, and the number of patents received over time suggest that China will transform into a modern economy based on services and innovation. However, further reforms are likely to be necessary. Middle-income trap stays as a potential threat for Chinese economy.
Eletromiografia aplicada aos músculos periorais e da mastigação de pacientes com Fissura Labiopalatina
Authors: Dutra Amaral Meggiolaro Emilly , Ferreira Castro Iana , Cristina Gomes Janaína
Published: July 2022

As fissuras labiopalatinas (FLP) são as anomalias craniofaciais congênitas mais prevalentes, estando associadas a síndromes genéticas ou isoladamente. Portanto, a utilização de técnicas, como a Eletromiografia (EMG), para a desmistificação do tratamento e para o melhor planejamento das intervenções clínicas e cirúrgicas é extremamente notória. A técnica de EMG permite que o estudo da motricidade orofacial e do sistema estomatognático sejam facilitados e desmistificados. A maioria dos estudos demonstraram alterações nas funções musculares em pacientes com FLP, principalmente no músculo orbicular da boca, bucinador e masseter, causando intercorrências como disfunção temporomandibular (DTM), dor orofacial e alteração nas funções de deglutição.
The relational matrix model of supervision: context, framing and inter-connection
Authors: Chidiac Marie-Anne , Denham-Vaughan Sally , Osborne Lynda
Published: July 2022

Abstract: This article proposes a matrix model applicable to a wide range of supervisory relationships and settings; therapeutic and organisational. The emphasis is upon a ‘relational’ approach, where the term ‘relational’ is used to refer to two key interrelated concepts. First, supervisory issues arise as a direct product of situations. Second, the quality of the supervisory relationship is therefore preconfigured by, and in itself preconfigures, the content, process and output of the session/meeting. For these reasons we see the context of supervision as being of fundamental importance in framing both the ‘what and how’ of the supervision session. This article describes these proposals and the relational matrix model in more detail and discusses some implications for supervision that arise. Keywords: supervision, relational, relational matrix model, situation, other, self.

Molecular study of quorum sensing and biofilm formation genes in pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from UTIs patients
Authors: Al-Azawi Ibtisam Habeeb , Al-Shabbani Hiyam Abdulla
Published: July 2022

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common health problem in both community and nosocomial settings, affecting both men and women equally. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen causing devastating acute and chronic infections in individuals with compromised immune systems. Biofilm is an architecture built mostly by autogenic extracellular polymeric substances which function as a scaffold to encase the bacteria together on surfaces, and to protect them from environmental stresses, impedes phagocytosis and thereby conferring the capacity for colonization and long-term persistence. So, the aim of this study to screen of some important quorum sensing and biofilm genes among pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from UTIs patients. Methods: These study was conducted in Al-Qadisiyah province, Iraq at five major hospitals (AL-Diwanyia Teaching Hospital, Feminine and children teaching hospital, Afak General Hospital, AL-Hamzah General Hospital and AL-Shamiya General Hospital) during the period from (November, 2020 to June, 2021). A total of 800 urine samples were collected from male and females referring to five major hospitals. The age of the patients ranged from (1 to 80) years-old.

Published: July 2022

The term entrepreneurship is often used in the place of entrepreneur. But they are conceptually different. The entrepreneur is a business leader, a person who performs several functions. Those functions which are performed by an entrepreneur is entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is described as the ability to uncover, create, or invent opportunities and put them to good use for the benefit of society. This in turn brings prosperity to the entrepreneur, his organization and the nation in general. From the Macro Economic perspective, it can be seen that the economic development of any nation depends on the functions of high quality entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship is the sign of business soundness and growth. It contributes to the growth of the economy and has a crucial role to play in the development process. It creates jobs which consequently generate more opportunities. The study on attitude of students towards entrepreneurship reveals that many of them feel that entrepreneurship as a career option. Only few of them are not interested but majority of them prefer entrepreneurship as a career option.
Journey from sensuality to spirituality
Authors: Raj S. John Joseph , Ganeshram K.
Published: July 2022

This paper analyses the dreary condition of humanity as it is shown in Aldous Huxley’s Time Must Have a Stop. Sebastian Barack’s path from sensuality to spirituality is the subject of the novel, which also offers a dismal assessment of the politics of mutually assured destruction. Huxley’s protagonists are escapists who strive to find refuge in some creative world of their choosing that has no interaction with the harsh reality because they are struggling with the conflict between passion and reason, between faith and knowledge. Here, an effort has been made to demonstrate how Huxley analyses the ills of contemporary existence and argues that man is no longer joyful because he has failed to live in harmony with nature. It demonstrates how Huxley transitions throughout his life from body to soul, from the material to the spiritual, and from lust to love.

Aim:The aim of this study was histological evaluation of the relative success of white mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), bioactive glass (BAG), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) when used as pulp capping agents in human teeth. Materials and Methods:45 healthy premolars scheduled to be extracted for orthodontic reasons were divided into three groups of 15 teeth in each group. The exposed pulps were capped with MTA, Bioglass or Calcium hydroxide. At the end of two months the teeth were extracted and subjected to histological analysis. The sections were blindly evaluated by an experienced and calibrated pathologist. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed among the groups for histological evaluation. A clear superiority of MTA over the other two materials in terms of all the histological criteria evaluated was observed. Conclusions:MTA was observed to be superior to BAG and Ca(OH)2 in terms of histological analysis. Although results favour the use of MTA, more studies with larger samples and a longer follow-up are suggested.
Investigation on fiber coating and treatment on mechanical properties of fiber composites
Authors: Ajith Ajith , Sudhakar Sudhakar
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this project is to investigate on mechanical properties of fibre coated reinforced composites. Tensile properties of the coated flax fabrics tested at different resin treatment. The tensile test is to evaluate the effect of the epoxy coating on the strength of the flax fiber and to predict the behavior of the coating how influence the mechanical properties of the composites. The results show that the epoxy-coated flax fiber considerably higher tensile properties compared with the non-coated flax fiber reinforced composite materials. The tensile strength of the reference sample, i.e., flax fiber without coating is 18.7 MPa is compared low to the value of the coated fiber value of 19.3 MPa. It is important to consider, that there is a large number of factors affecting mechanical properties of coated fiber, for curing temperature, resin combination, fiber arrangement etc. Consequently, it is not possible to compare accurately the achieved values with the literature. To the best of authors’ knowledge there is no previously published work on effect of fiber coating on flax fiber using high modulus. So, this latter assumption should be checked in a separate study.
