Abstract. Local snow redistribution processes such as avalanches can considerably impact the spatial variability of accumulation on glaciers. However, this spatial variability is particularly difficult to quantify with traditional surface mass balance measurements or geodetic observations. Here, we leverage high quality surface velocity and elevation change maps for the period 2012–2021 from Pléiades stereo images, and ice thickness measurements of Argentière Glacier (France) to invert for its distributed surface mass balance. This inversion is conducted using three different ice thickness modelling approaches constrained by observations, which all show a very good agreement between inverted surface mass balance and in situ measurements (RMSE < 0.96 m w.e. yr-1 for the 11-year average). The detected spatial variability in surface mass balance is consistent between modelling approaches and much higher than what is predicted from an enhanced temperature-index model calibrated with measurements from a dense network of stakes. In particular, we find high accumulation rates at the base of steep headwalls on the left-hand side of the glacier, likely related to avalanching at these locations. We calculate distributed precipitation correction factors to reconcile the outputs from the enhanced temperature-index model with the inverted surface mass balance data. These correction factors agree with the outputs of a parametrization of snow redistribution by avalanching, indicating an additional 60 % mass input relative to the accumulation from solid precipitation at these specific locations. Using these correction factors in a forward modelling exercise, we show that explicitly accounting for avalanches leads to twice more ice being conserved in the Argentière catchment by 2100 in an RCP 4.5 climate scenario, and to a considerably different ice thickness distribution. Our results highlight the need to better account for such spatially variable accumulation processes in glacio-hydrological models.
Deepening mechanisms of cut-off lows in the Southern Hemisphere and the role of jet streams: insights from eddy kinetic energy analysis
Authors: Pinheiro Henri Rossi , Hodges Kevin Ivan , Gan Manoel Alonso
Published: July 2024

Abstract. Cut-off lows (COLs) exhibit diverse structures and lifecycles, ranging from confined upper-tropospheric systems to deep, multi-level vortex structures. While COL climatologies are well documented, the mechanisms driving their deepening remain unclear. To bridge this gap, a novel track matching algorithm applied to ERA-Interim reanalysis investigates the vertical extent of Southern Hemisphere COLs. Composite analysis based on structure and eddy kinetic energy budget differentiates four COL categories: shallow, deep, weak, and strong, revealing similarities and disparities. Deep, strong COLs concentrate around Australia and the southwestern Pacific, peaking in autumn and spring, while shallow, weak COLs are more common in summer and closer to the Equator. Despite their differences, both contrasting types evolve energetically via anticyclonic Rossby wave breaking. The distinct roles of jet streams in affecting COL types are addressed: intense polar front jets correlate with more deep COLs, whereas stronger subtropical jets relate to fewer shallow COLs. The COL deepening typically occurs in the presence of a robust upstream polar front jet, which enhances ageostrophic flux convergence and baroclinic processes. The subtropical jet positively correlates with COL intensity but weakens when considering the seasonality, suggesting uncertainties in this relationship. Additionally, we highlight the significance of diabatic processes in COL deepening, addressing their misrepresentation in reanalysis and emphasizing the need for more observational and modelling studies to refine the energetic framework.

Abstract. A large expansion of wind energy is planned in India. On the other side, older wind turbines are approaching the end of their lifetime in some cases. Improvement and quality of maintenance technologies of wind turbines are therefore very important for the successful expansion and support of wind energy generation in India. In this paper, the strategies, main challenges and procedures of wind turbine blade repair in India are summarized. The influence of location and climate, methods of damage identification and evaluation of the severity of blade damage, as well as steps involved in leading-edge erosion, laminate, foam, web, and serration damage repair are presented. This overview of the current situation, methods, and technologies should provide the basis for the optimization of repair technologies, development of new techniques and thus to the improvement of the reliability of wind energy generation in India.

After birth, ductus arteriosus forms ligamentum arteriosum and sometimes can be calcified. Ligamentum arteriosum calcification can be seen as subtle-punctate or coarse-linear between pulmonary artery and the aorta in the non-contrast computed tomography (CT) images, and between the pulmonary conus and the aortic knob in the chest radiography. In this study, we aim to estimate the prevalence of ligamentum arteriosum calcification on non-contrast CT and chest radiography in a pediatric population. Patients aged 0-18 years, who underwent non- contrast CT and chest radiography at Department of Radiology between March 1, 2020 and October 31, 2021 were evaluated retrospectively. It was examined whether there was ligamentum arteriosum calcification in non-contrast CT and chest radiography. If there is calcification, it was recommended as subtle-punctate or coarse-linear, and information was documented by grouping the patients’ age. If ligamentum arteriosum calcification was present, it was divided morphologically into two groups (subtle-punctate and coarse-linear) and classified according to the age groups. The research population consisted of 1003 patients. Non-contrast CT revealed calcification in 25.5% of patients (n=256). 11.3% of patients had subtle-punctate calcification, and 14.3% had coarse-linear calcification. Radiography had a 1.7% (n:17) detection rate for calcification. Ligamentum arteriosum calcification is a common finding in all age groups in the pediatric population. When reporting pediatric CT studies, radiologists should be able to distinguish ligamentum arteriosum calcification from other pathological and anatomical conditions and accept it as a normal finding in order to avoid unnecessary further investigations.
Peppermint Frappé (1967): el montaje simbólico de la pulsión sexual en el cine de Carlos Saura

Authors: Salman Al-Dulaimi Salman Daoud
Published: July 2024

The article describes technological processes of concrete self-restoration with the help of basic bio-additives: calcium concentration, concentration of soluble inorganic carbon, pH value, presence of crystallization center. In transportation construction, there are many building structures in harsh operating conditions that require strengthening or restoration of their physical and mechanical properties for stability, reliability and safety. A number of bacteria, which can be found in soil, sand and natural minerals, have the ability to release calcium carbonate, both in natural and laboratory conditions, are capable of restoring these properties. The laboratory method of self-remediation of concrete used in the construction of transportation structures is considered. Calcium lactate (CaC6H10O6) was used as a starting substance for calcium carbonate formation. In addition, urea required by the bacteria as a source of urease enzyme and yeast extract as a source of carbon and nitrogen were added. This study showed that this simplified representation of the processes occurring during carbonate deposition induced by biomicrobes has a positive effect on the physical and mechanical properties affecting the safety, reliability and sustainability of transportation infrastructure building structures.

Published: July 2024

This paper aims to study the role of institutional quality on agri-food trade (import and export) between China and 48 African countries during the 2001-2021 period. The gravity model of trade was employed by estimating the Generalised Least Square (GLS) and the Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood (PPML) estimators, which include zero trade flows for panel data. The main results show that voice and accountability, control of corruption, and the rule of law all enhance agri-food trade flows. While political instability encourages agri-food exports to China. In addition, the economic size of China, the trade cost (distance), and the population of African countries also encourage agri-food trade between China and African economies. Moreover, access to the sea, exchange rate policy, and the economic size of African nations deplete China’s agri-food imports from Africa. We showed the mechanism through which each institutional variable affects China’s agri-food trade flows to African nations.

Authors: Rusyad Nurdin  , Hakim Luqman , Galib Septemberizal
Published: July 2024

This research aims to examine the influence of transformational leadership style and quality control system on managerial performance with balanced scorecard measurement as a mediation in public accounting firms in the DKI Jakarta region. The research is based on the numerous public accounting firms that have been sanctioned by regulators, raising questions about the aspect of managerial performance. The study is grounded in agency theory as accountability in decision-making and contingency theory as the management role in a public accounting firm's organization. The research is quantitative with primary data from the population of auditors in public accounting firms in the DKI Jakarta region. The sample was selected using purpose sampling, and a total of 120 auditors were chosen. The research technique involves descriptive statistics using the SEM-PLS 4.0 tool. The research results yield two conclusions. The first model indicates that transformational leadership style partially influences balanced scorecard measurement, quality control system partially influences balanced scorecard measurement, transformational style partially influences managerial performance, quality control system partially influences managerial performance, and balanced scorecard measurement influences managerial performance. The second model shows that quality control system is mediated by balanced scorecard measurement influences managerial performance. Meanwhile, transformational leadership style mediated by balanced scorecard measurement does not influence managerial performance.
‘Math is not for me’. Investigating Mathematics Anxiety in Secondary and Higher Education: A Critical Discussion of Current Practices and Future Recommendations
Authors: Tsirimokos Georgios , Lekka Eleni , Pilafas Georgios
Published: July 2024

Mathematics anxiety is a contemporary issue, characterized by feelings of stress, worry, apprehension, or fear, that interferes with one’s ability to manipulate and resolve mathematical tasks. The challenges of mathematics anxiety are considerable and produce a cascade of cause-effect repercussions. Accordingly, it is imperative to investigate this issue in secondary and higher education, as this educational era seemingly serves as a triggering point for this condition, significantly affecting individuals’ decisions towards education, academic pursues, professional orientation and so on. The main points elucidated by the present study suggest that curriculum and institutional frameworks, instructional strategies, parental influences, and individualized or psychotherapeutic interventions play a central role towards understanding and addressing mathematics anxiety, with their effects ranging across various cognitive, emotional and behavioral paradigms. Recommendations span in similar grounds in which –among other discussion arguments– the importance of improved institutional and parental approaches is strongly highlighted, as it could potentially provide better insights concerning early intervention.

Navigating uncertainties of wastewater-based epidemiology for reliable surveillance
Authors: Jiang Guangming
Published: July 2024

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a cost-effective and rapid survey approach that involves sampling and detecting chemical and biological markers in wastewater. WBE has been primarily employed to reveal information about illicit drug and pharmaceutical usage, diet, lifestyle, community health, and infectious diseases. In recent years, there has been a surge in research and implementation of WBE to detect COVID-19, which is critical for early-warning and tracking community transmission. Compared to other types of epidemiological surveillance, WBE offers many advantages but also has inherent methodological limitations and associated uncertainties. This talk will address various WBE uncertainties related to biomarker shedding, in-sewer decay and transport, wastewater sampling, biomarker analysis, and the back-calculation method. Comprehensive studies, using approaches such as systematic reviews, bioreactor tests, field studies, and modeling, have been conducted to identify ways to mitigate these uncertainties. However, various protocols have been developed in different WBE programs for wastewater sampling and analysis, making cross-comparisons of data obtained by different protocols challenging. Establishing a standard or best-practice WBE protocol for sampling, analysis, and reporting would be beneficial. Additionally, we will demonstrate how machine learning can enable AI-powered WBE to become a reliable surveillance tool.
Habitat structural complexity predicts cognitive performance and behavior in western mosquitofish
Authors: Irwin Kyndal B.
Published: July 2024

Urban stream syndrome alters stream habitat complexity. We define habitat complexity as the degree of variation in physical habitat structure, with increasing variation equating to higher complexity. Habitat complexity affects species composition and shapes animal ecology, physiology, behavior, and cognition. We used a delayed detour test to measure whether cognitive processes (motor self-regulation) and behavior (risk-taking) of female Western mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis, varied with habitat structural complexity (low, moderate, and high) that was quantified visually for nine populations. We predicted that motor self-regulation and risk-taking behavior would increase with increasing habitat complexity, yet we found support for the opposite. Lower complexity habitats offer less refuge potentially leading to higher predation pressure and selecting for greater risk-taking by fish with higher motor self-regulation. Our findings provide insight into how habitat complexity can shape cognitive processes and behavior and offers a broader understanding of why some species may tolerate conditions of urbanized environments.

The Prioress’s Tale and La France juive: Chaucer in Nineteenth-Century French Antisemitism
Authors: Mattison J. R.
Published: July 2024

This article outlines the contexts and consequences of an unrecognized late-nineteenth-century French translation of Chaucer’s Prioress’s Tale. Produced by Édouard Drumont as part of his antisemitic bestseller, La France juive, the translation is incorporated into a longer history of ritual murder stories. Praising the tale as a form of historical evidence for antisemitism, Drumont concretizes a link between the medieval antisemitism of Chaucer’s tale and its later modern forms, creating an ethical necessity for the tale’s readers and critics to acknowledge the tale’s role within a longer history of antisemitism.
“Ycomen of Cristen blood”: Racializing Christianity in Chaucer’s Prioress’s Tale
Authors: Katz Seal Samantha
Published: July 2024

This article offers an extensive analysis of the phrase “ycomen of Cristen blood” (VII 497) in Chaucer’s Prioress’s Tale in the context of medieval ideologies of racial Christianity. It argues that Chaucer is too skeptical of human reproduction as a means of transmitting traits between generations to fully endorse racializing Christianity, despite his racializations of Judaism and Islam in his poetry. Instead, this article reads Chaucer’s reference to Christian blood as a moment of race-making in progress, a particularly valuable opportunity for scholars to observe the incongruities and inconsistencies inherent in the process of ideological creation.

Marul ve salatalar, sağlıklı beslenmede önemli bir yere sahiptir. Serin iklim sebzesi grubuna giren ve taze yaprakları tüketilen bu türler açıkta veya örtü altında yetiştirilmekte, besin değerinin zengin olması önemini artırmaktadır. Türkiye’de marul ve salata üretiminde tohumluk ihtiyacının %80’inden fazlası yurtdışından ithal edilen çeşitlerle karşılandığından nitelikli yerel çeşitlerin geliştirilmesi için, bu ürün grubunda ıslah çalışmalarının hızlandırılması gerekmektedir. Yüksek nitelikli çeşitlerin geliştirilebilmesi için en önemli kaynak, genetik çeşitliliğin var olmasıdır. Marul ve salatalarda Ar-Ge ve ıslah projelerinin kamu-özel sektör işbirliğiyle başlatılması ve ivme kazandırılması kapsamında Eskişehir Geçit Kuşağı Tarımsal Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürlüğü’nde nitelikli gen havuzu oluşturmak amacıyla çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmalarda; Ulusal Tohum Gen Bankası’ndan temin edilen ve ülkemizin farklı yörelerinden toplanan 23 adet marul genotipinin muhafaza altına alınması, yetiştirilmesi, gruplandırılması ve birbirlerinden farklılıklarının ortaya konulması hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmada, UPOV tarafından belirlenen kriterler ile TTSM’nin Marul-Salata çeşit özellik belgesi dikkate alınarak, fide, yaprak, bitki ve baş yapısı ile ilgili morfolojik karakterizasyon çalışmaları yürütülmüştür. Araştırma sonucunda, 23 genotipten 194 bitkinin her biri bir birey olarak incelenmiş, 97 bitkide yaprak ayası kenar dalgalanma durumunun olmadığı, 74 bitkinin sıkı, 22 bitkinin çok sıkı baş yapısına sahip olduğu, 55 bitkinin uzun gün şartlarında geç sapa kalkmaya eğilimi olduğu, hiçbir bitkide mildiyö (Bremia lactucae) hastalığının görülmediği tespit edilmiştir.

Published: July 2024

Giriş ve Hedefler Çalışmanın amacı Batı Karadeniz Bölgesinde yer alan Akçakoca ilçesindeki ormanlık alanların tarım alanlarına dönüştürülmesinin toprak yapısı üzerindeki fiziksel ve kimyasal etkilerinin araştırılmasıdır.
Yöntemler Araştırmada, değişik 2 doğal ormanlık alan ve geçmişte orman arazisi olup değişime uğramış 5 adet alan olmak üzere toplamda 7 farklı arazi kullanım tipi belirlenmiştir. Her bir arazi kullanım tipinde toprak örneklemeleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan bu toprak örneklemelerinde fiziksel ve kimyasal analizler yapılmıştır.
Bulgular Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre en yüksek hacim ağırlığı ve kum içeriği değerleri tarım alanında, en yüksek iskelet miktarı ise mera alanında tespit edilmiştir. Toprak reaksiyonu bakımından endüstriyel plantasyon ve mera alanlarının nötre yakın alkali özellikte olduğu, elektriksel iletkenliğin ise en yüksek mera alanında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Toplam kireç değişime uğrayan arazi tiplerinde daha yüksek değerlerde ölçülmüştür. Organik madde, toplam karbon, azot ve katyon değişim kapasitesi (KDK) değerleri en yüksek mera alanında bulunmuştur.
Sonuçlar Arazi kullanımlarının kontrolsüzce değiştirilmesi birçok problemi beraberinde getirebilmektedir. Ancak günümüzde ufak habitatlarda bu tarz problemler göz ardı edilmekte ve sayıları gittikçe artmaktadır. Sunulan çalışma gibi tanımlayıcı araştırmaların artırılarak daha fazla örnek alanlarda yürütülmesi ve alınabilecek önlemlerin karar mercilerine bildirilerek kontrolün sağlanması gerekmektedir.
DRUG INDUCED LIVER INJURY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: CHAUHAN SHIVANSHI
Published: July 2024

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI), which has a variety of pathophysiological characteristics, is an important clinical problem. This review offers a thorough analysis of DILI, covering its pathophysiological mechanisms, the interaction between the microbiota and liver disease, the potential benefit of probiotics in preventing or treating DILI, diagnostic and prognostic methods, risk factors for DILI, current prevalence rates, and available treatments. The emergence of liver damage is influenced by the complex interplay of drug metabolism, immunological responses, and hereditary variables. An extensive list of medications, nutritional supplements, herbal products, and chemotherapeutic medicines that have been linked to DILI is provided based on the various research papers. The impact of the gut microbiota on healthy liver function and liver disease has been clarified by recent studies. Drug metabolism, immunological responses, and hepatic inflammation can all be affected by changes in gut microbial makeup and function, thereby worsening DILI. Probiotics’ impact on the gut-liver axis and their potential therapeutic advantages in the prevention and treatment of DILI are investigated. For effective management of DILI, a precise diagnosis and prognosis are essential. The outcomes of patients are predicted and treatment choices are guided by prognostic variables, such as liver function tests and drug causality evaluation tools. Inherited liver illnesses, genetic differences, patient characteristics, concurrent medication use, and other risk factors all have a role in the development of DILI. Identification of those at higher risk and the facilitation of specialized preventative interventions and patient monitoring is made possible by the recognition of these risk factors. DILI prevalence rates differ between populations and geographical areas. Planning for public health and allocating resources depend on tracking the incidence and prevalence of DILI. Although supportive care and medication withdrawal are the mainstays of DILI treatment, severe cases may call for a liver transplant. As a result, DILI is a multifactorial disorder that necessitates a thorough understanding of its processes, risk factors, diagnosis, and therapy. New insights into the gut microbiota and the possible impact of probiotics present intriguing directions for further study and treatment approaches to reduce liver damage caused by DILI.

This study aimed to explore the antecedents and consequences of job satisfaction among private university teachers. In other words, the main purpose was to conduct an in-depth investigation into the factors influencing teachers' job satisfaction and the resulting outcomes. This study employed a qualitative research approach and conducted in-depth interviews with 20 teachers to explore the antecedents and consequences of job satisfaction among private university teachers. A semi-structured interview checklist was developed, meticulously translated, reviewed by five teacher educators recognized as experts in qualitative research methodology and teacher education, and edited based on the feedback from the experts. The findings show that the antecedents of job satisfaction can be categorized into individual conditions and organizational conditions. Individual conditions include personality traits such as conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness, extraversion, neuroticism, and individual cognitive self-efficacy. Organizational conditions include perceived organizational support, including support from management leadership, colleagues, and students, etc. This study was conducted in a specific context, with specific participants. Most research on job satisfaction is quantitative, whereas this qualitative study explores the antecedents and consequences of job satisfaction from the private university teachers' perspective. Some of these aspects have not been mentioned in any relevant research.
