Results: As a result of the study, the seroprevalence of COVİD-19 in cats was 2,27%. In the literature reviews, it was seen that there were a limited number of studies in our country.

Conclusion: This study is the first article conducted in Central Anatolia. The results show that cats can carry the potential for anthropozoonotic potential.
High-Rise Living: A Sustainable Approach to Land Demand in Rampura, Dhaka
Authors: Dash Preyo Darshan
Published: December 2024

Due to rapid urbanization, population growth, and land scarcity, housing is now one of the most pressing problems in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. It has a growing population that exceeds natural growth, this trend has led to land scarcity, rising housing costs and deterioration in living conditions. Vertical housing such as high-rise buildings is offered as a sustainable solution to these issues. This research concentrates on examining the viability of vertical housing in the rapidly urbanizing Rampura area of Dhaka (which is also underdeveloped where people live) and how it meets or fails to solve the problem of housing in the city.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the social, economic and environmental effects that vertical housing might have on the local population and urban scenery in Rampura, as well as assess whether it can provide a long-term housing solution. On the basis of demographic trends, land use patterns and environmental considerations, the study presents insights into how vertical housing can be successfully applied in such a place.

The methodology uses a mixture of quantitative and qualitative research approaches. Primary data was collected in the form of interviews and surveys with residents, urban planners and architects. Secondary data that came from literature in urban housing and sustainability on the other hand was also provided. The study also conducted a spatial analysis of land usage in Rampura, comparing vertical housing against other forms of housing.

The results show that vertical housing can significantly reduce land pressure, accommodate more residents in fewer spaces and create sustainable urban growth scenarios. However, the findings also highlight problems such as infrastructure, affordability and societal adjustments. The study argues for sound urban planning, policy reform and active community participation to break through these barriers.

In conclusion vertical housing offers a feasible solution to the housing crisis in Dhaka but it must be implemented with careful consideration of socio-economic, environmental and infrastructure factors. The study points to strategic policy interventions and sustainable design principles as the way forward so that vertical housing makes a lasting contribution to urban resilience and growth in Dhaka.

This study has endeavored to pinpoint the origins of occupational stress, scrutinizing the nexus between three distinct dimensions and job stress, as well as the correlation between job stress and task performance. Following a succinct review of extant literature on the subject matter, the subsequent section of this inquiry has delineated its theoretical framework and proposed hypotheses. Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation analysis, and linear regression have been enlisted to ascertain associations, while descriptive statistics have been leveraged for data elucidation. The Pearson correlation coefficients have exhibited a statistically significant relationship (p < .01) between all three factors under examination and job stress, suggesting a collective impact on the overall level of occupational stress. This implies that the cumulative effect of these factors has contributed to an escalation in job stress. Moreover, with a significance level below .01 and a Pearson correlation coefficient indicating a strongly negative relationship, a detrimental association between job stress and task performance has been evident. This implies that as job stress has increased, manual performance has diminished. Thus, all factors contributing to occupational stress have exerted a deleterious influence on task performance. The empirical insights gleaned from this study hold practical implications for managerial decision-making within financial institutions and other organizational settings.

Đánh giá khả năng ứng dụng công nghệ tách CO2 từ khí thải của các nhà máy nhiệt điện than có phần vốn góp của Petrovietnam
Authors: Nguyen Huu Luong
Published: December 2024

Việt Nam có tiềm năng lưu trữ CO2, tập trung tại các bể Sông Hồng, Cửu Long và Nam Côn Sơn với công suất lưu trữ có thể lên đến ~ 41 - 110 tỷ tấn CO2 và đã được định hướng phát triển trong Quy hoạch tổng thể về năng lượng quốc gia thời kỳ 2021 - 2030, tầm nhìn đến năm 2050. Tập đoàn Dầu khí Việt Nam (Petrovietnam) có lợi thế khi tích hợp CCUS vào chuỗi giá trị hoạt động dầu khí hiện tại. Quá trình thu giữ CO2 từ khí thải của nhà máy nhiệt điện có thể được thực hiện bằng các phương pháp như thu giữ trước khi đốt (pre-combustion), thu giữ sau khi đốt (post-combustion) hoặc đốt cháy nhiên liệu bằng oxygen (oxy-fuel combustion), trong đó, phương pháp thu giữ sau khi đốt được áp dụng rộng rãi nhất do thuận lợi khi tích hợp vào các nhà máy hiện hữu. Các nhà máy điện than của Petrovietnam có thể giảm phát thải thông qua phương pháp thu giữ carbon sau khi đốt, sử dụng công nghệ hấp thụ bằng dung dịch amine với hiệu suất thu giữ đạt 90%. Tổng mức đầu tư của phân xưởng thu hồi CO2 khoảng 1,8 tỷ USD/nhà máy. Quá trình thu giữ carbon dẫn đến tăng LCOE ~ 62 - 94% với chi phí thu giữ carbon LCOC ~ 50 - 60 USD/tấn CO2 (bao gồm chi phí năng lượng sử dụng từ nhà máy điện ~ 30%). Tăng số giờ vận hành nhà máy điện than và thời gian khấu hao cụm thu giữ CO2 có thể giúp giảm 15 - 20% chi phí thu giữ CO2. Để triển khai giải pháp thu giữ carbon từ khí thải của các nhà máy nhiệt điện than, cần hoàn thiện khung pháp lý, chính sách và khoa học công nghệ, đồng thời xây dựng lộ trình tổng thể để phát triển toàn diện chuỗi giá trị CCUS.

Legal translators’ perception of machine translation and its implications on the methodology of legal translator training
Authors: Balogh Dorka
Published: December 2024

The paper introduces the results of a questionnaire in which qualified legal translators with a law degree reflect on their practical experiences and impressions regarding machine translation. The 37 respondents of the survey – all of them law graduates – obtained their legal translator qualifications at a post-graduate specialist training course that has been running at the Faculty of Law of the Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Budapest since 2004. The questionnaire was designed with the aim of surveying the impact of the rapid development of machine translation quality on the rationale and viability of legal translator training, and to detect the changes needed to be implemented in the structure of the training in the opinion of practising legal translators. The data received partly confirmed the preliminary assumption that although there is still unwavering demand for such a training, significant changes in its structure and curriculum would be indispensable. The responses provide insight into legal translators’ views on the nature of their work in the changed translation environment (including, e.g., employment opportunities or their own attitude towards the translation work). The results of the survey may
provide methodological clues not only for legal translation trainers but also for translator trainers of other special
fields.

Rabies Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis: A Systematic Review on Safety, Immunogenicity and Booster Recommendations
Authors: Bin Sazali Mohd Fazeli , Nafsah Dulajis  , Puteri Nureylia Amir
Published: December 2024

Rabies infection is a serious and fatal disease that disproportionately affects children and low socioeconomic groups. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a preventive strategy to protect high-risk groups. Timely updating recommendations for rabies PrEP are needed, especially to meet the needs of the underserved population. This review aimed to find recent evidence available to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of rabies PrEP of reduced dose and duration; intramuscular (IM) and intradermal (IM) administration; and to assess booster recommendations following rabies PrEP. The literature review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. A literature search of PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus was performed from the database for studies in the past five years (1st Jan 2017-30th May 2021). Of 45 studies identified, 15 publications met the inclusion criteria for safety, dosage, immunogenicity and booster recommendations. Most studies identified that the recommended dose and duration is safe and immunogenic for children and adults. Rabies vaccine booster is indicated for occupational exposure. The current recommendation on rabies PrEP is safe for adults and children, and the immunogenicity is not inferior to the 1-dose 3-visit regime, with equivalent effectiveness via both routes (ID and IM).
Crossing Disciplinary Boundaries and Extending Participation through Film and Applied Theatre Techniques: Reflecting on the Umzi ka Mama Oral Histories Project
Authors: Hellemann Phemelo
Published: December 2024

Scholarship on African women has progressed from mainly focusing on royal women, political struggle heroines, and activists to include more stories of domestic workers, farmers, mothers, and daughters. Over time, feminist oral historians gradually moved from research with rigid traditional approaches to update their approaches to include creative methodologies that can enhance and extend interlocutor participation. Through a feminist lens, the paper articulates how a creative and alternative methodology extended interlocutor participation in the Umzi ka mama oral history project. The project explored unreported stories of seven African women who have owned family property in Fingo Village, Makhanda since pre-1994. The article explores how a multidisciplinary methodology spanning over three disciplines, history, drama and film, helped gather data using interviews, video, forum, play-back and image theatre inspired techniques. The results revealed how extended participation beyond oral history interviews presented more opportunities for shared authority and negotiations throughout the process. Additionally, the results show how accessible dissemination can be achieved. Although history, film and drama methods pair well together as cross-cutting approaches, there are disciplinary tensions that are embedded in multidisciplinary studies. The paper highlights these tensions to show why negotiation is a necessary part of multidisciplinary research.

Authors: Wang Ling , Li Shengchen , Chen Yue
Published: December 2024

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has brought new challenges for learners and educators, along with new possibilities. Assessment especially has provided opportunity for innovation using GenAI, but the fast pace of change as technology develops has meant a paucity in the research on the impact of these changes and adaptations. This paper intends to cover this gap by reporting on a case study of a prompt adaptation of GenAI in an assessment in a year-two module in artificial intelligence which is delivered to students in three-degree programmes in a Sino-British university, at the end of 2022. Taking a mixed method qualitative methodology approach, the study collected data from both staff and students, lecturing and studying on the module which was then analysed using NVIVO software. The study highlights that the adapted assessment had a positive impact on the student learning and development experience whilst simultaneously developing within the students an awareness of ethical issues associated with GenAI use. At the same time, it has raised many questions for academic staff, emphasizing the wider impact on learning and teaching that GenAI brings.
Challenges of Social Workers in Involving Parents in the Intervention Process of Young Persons Misusing Substances
Authors: Masombuka Jan
Published: December 2024

Substance misuse among young people is a widespread phenomenon and continues to rise. Even though parents are the primary support system of a young person and unavoidably suffer the consequences of problem, they are often excluded in the intervention of a young person misusing substances. This study sought to understand the challenges of social workers in involving parents in the intervention process of young persons misusing substances. The family systems theory was employed as a theoretical base for the study. Thus, a qualitative semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 11 individual participants. Furthermore, non-probability purposive sampling was adopted to recruit a sample of social workers at the 10 service points of the Gauteng Department of Social Development (DSD), in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality (CTMM). Five themes emerged from the interviews, namely inadequate information provided by a young person misusing substances, parents’ employment status, nature of the social work intervention process to a young person misusing substances, poor parent/child relationship, majority age of a young person misusing substances and confidentiality barriers in the professional relationship, and a lack of parents’ insight. To enhance the quality of the social work intervention process to a young person misusing substances, there is a need for parents to be actively involved throughout the recovery process of a young person.
A Bayesian Perspective on Error-Driven Cobb-Douglas Models: Revisiting Intrinsic Linearity
Authors: O.A Adesina , F.J Ayoola , T. O Oguntola
Published: December 2024

Non-linear models in the classical approach have been used by different researchers in the estimation of production function (case study: Cobb-Douglas), which is intrinsically linear. Bayesian approach to non-linear models had gained much ground but little attention had been paid towards using independent Normal-Gamma prior. This study aimed at investigating the behaviour of the parameters in the Cobb-Douglas Model using Bayesian approach. Metropolis–Within-Gibbs Algorithm (Posterior simulator) with non-informative prior was adopted to generate posterior estimates in this work. The results obtained from the simulation study showed that as sample size increases, the true values are significantly close to the posterior estimates. Also, the estimated standard deviations and the numerical standard errors decreased consistently when production function is “less one”, “greater than one” and “equal to one”. As the prior changed in all measures of return to scale, the considered criteria remained unchanged using the Geweke’s convergence diagnostics tool to show the good performance of non-informative prior of the error precision.

Published: December 2024

El estudio aborda la relación entre comportamientos de riesgo, estrés y estrategias de afrontamiento en universitarios peruanos, destacando la importancia de estas variables en su bienestar. La muestra consistió en 581 universitarios (17 a 45 años), los instrumentos incluyeron: “Escala de estrés ante enfermedades transmisibles”, “Cuestionario de afrontamiento del estrés” y un cuestionario ad hoc para evaluar conductas de riesgo. Los resultados indican que, el comportamiento de riesgo más frecuente fue no usar cinturón de seguridad (65%), seguido del consumo de alcohol (64,1%), el 25,7% presenta niveles altos de estrés y las estrategias de afrontamiento más empleadas fueron evitación y búsqueda de apoyo social. El análisis de regresión muestra que la focalización en la solución de problemas y tener un empleo se asocian con una reducción en los comportamientos de riesgo, mientras que la expresión emocional abierta y ser hombre incrementan la probabilidad de estos comportamientos. En conclusión, se subraya la necesidad de implementar intervenciones específicas que promuevan estrategias de afrontamiento efectivas y reduzcan los factores de riesgo para su salud.

Published: December 2024

El presente estudio analiza la estructura de relaciones entre el autoocultamiento, los síntomas depresivos y la búsqueda de ayuda profesional, y evalúa su invarianza según el género en 500 estudiantes universitarios chilenos, mediante modelos de ecuaciones estructurales multigrupo. El modelo hipotetizado presentó un adecuado ajuste a los datos, χ2(132)= 189,793; p< 0,050; CFI= 0,993; TLI= 0,991; RMSEA= 0,030 [0,020, 0,039]; SRMR= 0,052, y alcanzó un nivel de invarianza estricto. Se evidenció que para ambos grupos el autoocultamiento se relaciona de manera directa con los síntomas depresivos, en mujeres se evidencia una relación inversa entre el autoocultamiento y la búsqueda de ayuda profesional, y en hombres el autoocultamiento tiene una relación indirecta con la búsqueda de ayuda profesional, mediada por los síntomas depresivos. Estos resultados relevan el rol obstaculizador del autoocultamiento y la importancia de considerar las diferencias de sexo en la comprensión de la búsqueda de ayuda profesional en salud mental.
Does social identification with influencers impact social media fatigue among university students? The role of algorithm awareness and information overload
Authors: Wang Xin , Ding Yanyan
Published: December 2024

Social media has radically transformed our social interactions, becoming one of the most used communication channels. In this context, social identification with influencers has encouraged greater involvement and dependence on social media. However, there is still a lack of understanding regarding how this contributes to social media fatigue and how it relates to algorithm awareness and information overload. This study aimed to explore these relationships among 336 university students (76,8% women) aged 18 to 23, using a serial mediation approach through structural equation modeling. The results highlight the importance of understanding how social identification with influencers affects social media fatigue, as well as the relevance of algorithm awareness and information overload in this process. These findings enrich our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of social media fatigue and emphasize the need to consider cognitive and perceptual aspects in future research and in the design of practical interventions.

Published: December 2024

The present study aims to establish the mediating role of psychological capital in the relationship between academic stress and the health behaviors of Peruvian university students during the covid-19 pandemic. A non-probability sample of 708 students (548 females and 160 males), aged 18 to 61 years (M= 22.1, SD= 6.0), responded online to the Systemic Cognitivist Inventory for the Study of Academic Stress - Second Version of 21 Items, the Psychological Capital Questionnaire and the Lifestyle Questionnaire for Young University Students. The results of the study confirm that the model fits the data adequately, highlighting both the direct effect of academic stress on health behaviors and psychological capital, as well as the effect of psychological capital on health behaviors. It is evident that psychological capital acts as a partially mediating variable in the relationship between academic stress and health behaviors. These findings highlight the role of psychological capital as a mitigating factor for stress and an enhancer of healthy behaviors in university students.

Published: December 2024

The research investigates the academic self-efficacy of first-year students at University of Rwanda-College of Education (UR-CE) in line with both Bandura’s social cognitive theory and self-efficacy theory. Utilizing a sequential explanatory model for quantitative and qualitative data collection, the research took place during academic year 2023 with total of 1,435 first-year students and it also engaged five members of the academic staff. Cochran’s formula was used to calculate sample size and 304 student teachers were randomly selected and 5academic staff member were selected, one from each of the five departments. A multi-stage sampling and simple random sampling were used to select the student teachers who undertook an online survey. After analyzing the quantitative statistical data, two in-depth interviews were conducted: one with 20 student teachers focusing on their academic self-efficacy and average scores, and another with five staff members from UR-CE. The overall mean for the four components of ASE on Likert scale was 3.67 which is equivalent to moderate ASE. The results of both in-depth interviews also confirmed these findings. The overall SD of scores in the four components of ASE is 1.91, indicating heterogeneity in levels of academic self-efficacy among UR-CE first-year teacher students. Self-regulated learning scored 3.89 indicating that first-year teachers excelled in regulating their learning to achieve academic goals, while competency scored 3,50 indicating that these student teachers have gaps in academic skills. In accordance with Bandura (2006)’s classification, 78.29% of student teachers have moderate ASE; 20.72% have high ASE; while 0.99% have low ASE. The study recommends that UR-CE improve programmes that enhance students' academic self-efficacy and other psychosocial skills, and include these skills in its recruitment criteria. Finally, it is recommended that lecturers use specific pedagogical strategies to stimulate students' academic self-efficacy rather than discourage them.

A passagem da Educação Infantil para o Ensino Fundamental marca um período de importantes transformações para a criança, tanto no campo pedagógico quanto no emocional. Essa fase é marcada pela saída de um ambiente lúdico e mais acolhedor para um contexto de maior formalidade, regras e exigências acadêmicas. O objetivo geral deste estudo científico é investigar como as emoções podem interferir no processo de ensino aprendizagem da criança na passagem da educação infantil para o ensino fundamental. O método utilizado trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica de cunho qualitativo, baseando como referência bibliográfica Vygotsky (2004) e Mello (2002). A pesquisa apontou que o equilíbrio emocional durante essa transição é essencial para o sucesso escolar e o bem-estar geral da criança. Estratégias de apoio, como a comunicação eficaz, o suporte emocional e a criação de um ambiente acolhedor, são fundamentais para ajudar as crianças a gerenciar suas emoções e se adaptarem com mais facilidade ao novo contexto educacional. A Educação Infantil, sendo a primeira etapa da Educação Básica, tem como finalidade preparar os alunos para o Ensino Fundamental e é preciso criar estratégias de acolhimento de forma efetiva para melhor compreender como ocorre este processo de transição, e quais os impactos que podem causar no desenvolvimento educacional é um marco na vida da criança dos pais até mesmo na do educador.

WASATHIYYAH DA'WAH STRATEGY AS A WAY TO STRENGTHEN RELIGIOUS MODERATION IN A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Indonesia is a multicultural country with various religions, cultures, and ethnic groups living in it. Problems that arise due to differences can be overcome in one way: by applying an understanding of religious moderation. Religious moderation is a neutral way of life with a perspective that always appreciates and respects, without dispute, every difference that is characteristic of each person. Strengthening religious moderation must be prioritized in community life, one of which is the preaching of wasathiyyah. The wasathiyyah da'wah strategy is a solution where wasathiyyah places justice and balance in preaching in order to get optimal results in the life of a multicultural society between extreme choices. Da'Is are required to be competent in spreading knowledge about religious moderation with wasathiyyah da'wah strategies and effective communication.
 STRATEGI DAKWAH WASATHIYYAH SEBAGAI JALAN PENGUATAN MODERASI BERAGAMA DALAM  MASYARAKAT MULTIKULTURAL. Indonesia adalah negara multikultural dengan beragam agama, budaya, suku bangsa yang hidup di dalamnya. Keragaman yang ada menimbulkan permasalahan selain sebuah anugerah dari Allah SWT. Permasalahan yang timbul karena perbedaan bisa diatasi salah satunya dengan menerapkan pemahaman moderasi beragama. Moderasi beragama yang merupakan suatu tata cara hidup yang netral dengan cara pandang yang senantiasa menghargai dan menghormati tanpa memperselisihkan setiap perbedaan yang menjadi ciri khas setiap orang.  Penguatan moderasi beragama harus diprioritaskan di tengah kehidupan Masyarakat, salah satunya dengan dakwah wasathiyyah. Strategi dakwah wasathiyyah yang merupakan Solusi dimana wasathiyyah yang menempatkan keadilan dan keseimbangan dalam berdakwah agar mendapatkan hasil optimal dalam kehidupan masyarakat multikultural di antara pilihan yang ekstrim.

Abstract. Brown carbon (BrC) is recognized as a considerable factor changing the atmospheric radiation balance. In addition to the biomass and biofuel sources, both field observations and laboratory studies suggest that fossil fuel combustion is an important contributor to BrC. This highlights a critical gap in the treatment of BrC in climate models, which typically categorize organic aerosols (OA) from fossil fuels as non-absorbing or simplistically assume that all OA are light-scattering. Here we present a regional simulation of BrC during a highly polluted winter in North China Plain (NCP) by using the WRF-Chem model incorporating currently known BrC sources with explicit absorption properties. The modified model generally performs well in simulating air pollutants and aerosols species against observations. Our simulations show that the average near-surface mass concentration of BrC in the NCP is 4.8 μg m-3 and its contribution to the aerosol absorption optical depth at 365 nm is 11.2 %. A diagnostic adjoint method has been used to quantify the overall direct radiative effect (DRE) of BrC and contributions from various sources. We find that the DRE of BrC is predominantly negative with an average of -0.10 W m-2 at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) over the NCP, and consequently decreases the direct radiative cooling effect of OA by 24.0 % with a TOA warming of up to +0.34 W m-2. Our findings reveal that residential coal combustion is the principal contributor to the DRE of BrC in the NCP, and a noteworthy contribution from secondary BrC.
LIMA (v2.0): A full two-moment cloud microphysical scheme for the mesoscale non-hydrostatic model Meso-NH v5-6

Published: December 2024

Abstract. A full two-moment microphysics parameterization of the LIMA scheme (with LIMA standing for Liquid Ice Multiple Aerosols and hereafter named LIMA v2.0) has been developed and successfully implemented in the Meso-NH cloud-resolving model. The novelty of the scheme is a set of prognostic equations of the number concentration of each precipitating ice category (snow/aggregates, graupel, and hail), in addition to the prediction of the mass mixing ratios. As a result, new microphysical conversion rates are introduced and explicitly computed using the size distributions of the hydrometeors. The new LIMA v2.0 scheme has been tested for an idealized deep convection case against the original LIMA scheme characterized by an empirical number-concentration–mixing-ratio relationship applied to the precipitating ice. Inclusion of number concentration equations for the snow/aggregates and graupel significantly alters the microphysical structure and dynamical evolution of the simulated supercell. When comparing to the results obtained with the previous version of LIMA, the new v2.0 of the scheme tends to increase the pristine ice mixing ratio; to decrease the other ice hydrometeors by slowing down the growing processes of snow/aggregates, graupel, and hail; and to enhance the feedbacks between raindrops and the ice-phase hydrometeors. This comparison also emphasizes the unreasonable diagnostic approach used to estimate the number concentration of precipitating ice particles in the previous version of the scheme. The new scheme is more efficient at producing earlier raindrops at ground level and reducing hail precipitation.
Exploring how Sentinel-1 wet-snow maps can inform fully distributed physically based snowpack models

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Distributed energy and mass balance snowpack models at sub-kilometric scale have emerged as a tool for snow-hydrological forecasting over large areas. However, their development and evaluation often rely on a handful of well-observed sites on flat terrain with limited topographic representativeness. Validation of such models over large scales in rugged terrain is therefore necessary. Remote sensing of wet snow has always been motivated by its potential utility in snow hydrology. However, its concrete potential to enhance physically based operational snowpack models in real time remains unproven. Wet-snow maps could potentially help refine the temporal accuracy of simulated snowmelt onset, while the information content of remotely sensed snow cover fraction (SCF) pertains predominantly to the ablation season. In this work, wet-snow maps derived from Sentinel-1 and SCF retrieval from Sentinel-2 are compared against model results from a fully distributed energy balance snow model (FSM2oshd). The comparative analysis spans the winter seasons from 2017 to 2021, focusing on the geographic region of Switzerland. We use the concept of wet-snow line (WSL) to compare Sentinel-1 wet-snow maps with simulations. We show that while the match of the model with flat-field snow depth observation is excellent, the WSL reveals a delayed snowmelt in the southern aspects. Amending the albedo parametrization within FSM2oshd allowed for the achievement of earlier melt in such aspects preferentially, thereby reducing WSL biases. Biases with respect to Sentinel-2 snow-line (SL) observations were also substantially reduced. These results suggest that wet-snow maps contain valuable real-time information for snowpack models, complementing flat-field snow depth observations well, particularly in complex terrain and at higher elevations. The persisting correlation between wet-snow-line and snow-line biases provides insights into refined development, tuning, and data assimilation methodologies for operational snow-hydrological modelling.
