RELİGİON AS A TOOL FOR STATE CONTROL: ROLE OF BUDDHİSM IN THE ROHİNGYA CRİSİS
Authors: Yahya ADOW IBRAHIM
Published: February 2025

This study examines the extent to which religion has influenced state policies in Myanmar and the role Buddhism has played or been utilized by different actors in order to influence the socio-political and economic dynamics of Myanmar.

The study examines contemporary policies of Myanmar and how Buddhism was appropriated as a hegemonizing ideology and whether it was used to further marginalize religious and ethnic minorities. By assessing historical causes of the Rohingya crisis, this study aims to shed light on the complex link between state institutions and Buddhist organizations and how they contribute to the Rohingya problem.

This paper also views the Rohingya problem through a clash of civilization lens and examines if these two civilizations have had friction due to their religious and cultural differences or whether there are underlying causes of the Rohingya problem.

The paper uses discourse analysis to examine how language and rhetoric were used to shape perceptions and justify state laws and actions against the Rohingya. Statements by religious leaders like Ashin Wirathu, state laws and state media reports were analyzed to provide a nuanced understanding of how Buddhism was utilized as a tool for state control.

This study also carried out a comparative analysis of how different states like China, India and Sri Lanka have leveraged religion to consolidate power. The study has also drawn on state-building theory to examine how states employ religion as a unifying factor and its ramifications.
KEYWORDS: State control, Buddhism, Rohingya, hegemonizing ideology, Myanmar

Development of forced cooling technology using a DLC coating tool with a small through-hole and a communicating tube regarding the turning for difficult-to-machine material
Authors: TANABE Ikuo , ISOBE Hiromi
Published: February 2025

When a difficult-to-machine material was used for the workpiece, the temperature becomes the melting point over and the tool insert is easily melted. Therefore, in this research, the forced cooling technology using a DLC coating insert with a small through-hole and a communicating tube regarding the turning for difficult-to-machine material was developed and evaluated. The communicating tube was used for supplying the cooling fluid without no-energy, and the cooling fluid using the strong alkaline water with pH 12.5 was used for environmentally friendly. The small through-hole was machined for the cooling function on the insert tip. Then DLC layer with low coefficient of friction for small cutting heat generation was coated on the insert by deposition. The proposed method was finally evaluated using the difficult-to-machine material Ti6Al4V for the workpiece in several experiments; temperature change on the insert tip, tool life, surface roughness on the workpiece after the turning. In addition, the machining time, the running cost and the CO2 emission were also evaluated. It is concluded from the result that (1) The proposed forced cooling technology was very effective for the turning of a difficult-to-machine material, (2) In the proposed method, it is important to maintain the tool tip temperature below 500°C.
Maximal Convergence by Faber Series in Morrey-Smirnov Classes with Variable Exponents
Authors: Oktay Burcin
Published: February 2025

In this paper, we assume that G is a domain bounded by Γ Dini-smooth curve and R > 1 is the largest number such that a function f is analytic inside the level curve ΓR in the exterior of Γ. By taking the function f in the Morrey-Smirnov classes with variable exponents , we obtain a rate of maximal convergence of the nth partial sums of the Faber series of the function f in the uniform norm on the closure of G. Here the rate of maximal convergence depends on the best approximation number .

Published: February 2025

In this paper, sufficient conditions for compactness of sets in generalized Morrey spaces are given in terms of an averaging function. This result is analogous to the well-known Fréchet-Kolmogorov theorem for the pre-compacting of sets in Lebesgue spaces. Our main result consisted of four conditions on the behavior of the function norm and the norm of its averages in generalised Morrey spaces that are sufficient for a set to be pre-compact in these spaces. An example is provided to demonstrate that not all conditions obtained in the main result are necessary for a set to be pre-compacted in generalised Morrey spaces.

Published: February 2025

Aim: This study investigates the association between ApoE genotype, plasma cholesteryl ester (CE) levels, and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) status, with a focus on CE(20:4) and CE(22:5) levels as potential indicators of lipid metabolism alterations in AD patients. Methods: Publicly available metabolomics data (DOI: 10.3233/JAD-215448) from 94 AD patients and 62 controls aged 55 and older were re-analyzed. CE levels were examined using non-parametric tests due to the non-normal overall data distribution. Comparisons were stratified by ApoE genotypes (ε3/ε3 and ε3/ε4). Results: Significant increases in CE(20:4) and CE(22:5) levels were observed in AD patients with the ApoE ε3/ε4 genotype compared to controls (p-values 0.0387 and 0.0348, respectively). No significant differences were found for other CEs or among ε3/ε3 carriers (except for sex). Overlap between CE levels in AD and control groups limits their potential as diagnostic biomarkers but underscores their role in lipid dysregulation in AD pathophysiology. Conclusions: Elevated CE(20:4) and CE(22:5) levels in ε3/ε4 AD patients highlight lipid metabolism alterations associated with ApoE genotype. While not providing standalone biomarkers, these findings offer insights into AD-related lipid dysregulation and warrant further investigation in high-risk ε4/ε4 carriers and therapeutic targeting of lipid metabolism.
Unmasking the potential: mechanisms of neuroinflammatory modulation by oncolytic viruses in glioblastoma
Authors: Beder Narimene , Mirbahari Seyedeh Nasim , Belkhelfa Mourad , Mahdizadeh Hamid , Totonchi Mehdi
Published: February 2025

Glioblastoma, an aggressive and lethal brain tumor, presents enormous clinical challenges, including molecular heterogeneity, high recurrence rates, resistance to conventional therapies, and limited therapeutic penetration across the blood-brain barrier. The glioblastoma microenvironment, characterized by a dynamic interplay of cellular and non-cellular components, is a key driver of tumor growth and therapeutic resistance. Neuroinflammatory cytokines, particularly interleukins and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, play pivotal roles in this microenvironment, contributing to tumor progression and immune evasion. This review highlights oncolytic virotherapy as a promising therapeutic avenue, focusing on its potential to modulate neuroinflammatory responses, induce localized immune reactions, and deliver immunomodulatory factors directly to the tumor site. While encouraging outcomes have been observed, challenges such as overcoming the blood-brain barrier, managing host antiviral immunity, and mitigating potential risks to normal neuronal cells remain critical barriers to clinical translation. By analyzing the intricate interactions of oncolytic viruses with the glioblastoma microenvironment and synthesizing findings from preclinical and clinical trials, this review provides actionable insights into developing personalized and effective therapeutic strategies for this aggressive tumor based on oncolytic virotherapy alone or when using it combined with conventional therapies, immunotherapy, natural killer-cell therapy, chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy, and dendritic cell therapy.

Authors:   Moscow State Linguistic University, Bondarchuk G. G. , Gorozhanov A. I. ,   Moscow State Linguistic University
Published: February 2025

Introduction. The category of clothing names is a vast layer of lexical units denoting items of clothing, footwear, headwear, etc., which is an essential artifact of human activity, and it plays a vital role in the history of society and culture. This is one of the main subject categories of human existence, extremely important in cultural and social terms. The purpose of our work is to determine the core of meanings of lexemes – names of clothing in modern American media. The goal is planned to be achieved by solving the following problems: to form a list of nouns – names of clothing relevant to the English-speaking (American) linguoculture; to extract contexts containing the specified names; to analyze the contextual meanings of the selected nouns in the representative linguistic corpus of CNN news texts.
Materials and Methods. The material for the study is the linguistic corpus of CNN news texts (37 864 sentences or 982 107 tokens), collected in the second half of 2023 using the author’s software “Balanced Linguistic Corpus Generator and Corpus Manager” (Certificate of State Registration of Computer Program No. 2023683209, Rospatent). The research methods include inductive analysis (to solve problem 1), corpus experiment (problem 2), and contextual analysis (problem 3).
Analysis. For the three most frequently occurring nouns - shoes, dress, clothes – an analysis of their specific meanings is presented, distributed among headings identified in the course of mental interpretation of contexts.
Results. The frequency of use of 15 lexemes - clothing names in the linguistic corpus of CNN news texts was determined, the dominant meanings of these lexemes were identified, and the author’s translations of the studied contexts were provided. The practical value of the study lies in the fact that the obtained data, as well as the developed analysis methodology, can be used in the study of other categories of subject names in English and other languages.

Effect of Dividend Policy and Leverage on Sustainable Growth Moderated by Managerial Ownership in Energy Sector Companies
Authors: Hartatik Sri , Indarto Indarto , Lestari Rohmini Indah
Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze the effect of dividend policy and leverage on the company's sustainable growth, with managerial ownership as a moderating variable. The dependent variable is the company's sustainable growth, while the independent variables are dividend policy and leverage. Secondary data were obtained from the financial statements of energy sector companies listed on the IDX for the period 2019-2023. This study uses a purposive sampling technique with a sample size of 7 companies. The analysis was carried out using panel data regression with Eviews 13 software. The results of the study indicate that dividend policy and leverage do not have a significant effect on the company's sustainable growth. In addition, managerial ownership does not moderate the relationship between dividend policy and leverage on the company's sustainable growth. This finding indicates that other factors may play a greater role in determining the sustainable growth of energy sector companies. Therefore, further research is needed by considering other variables that can affect company growth, such as profitability, ownership structure, and macroeconomic conditions, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that drive sustainable growth in the energy sector.

Published: February 2025

The present study aims to explore the effect of using ChatGPT as an educational tool to improve the acquisition of English vocabulary in first-year students of an educational institution in Lago Agrio. A mixed methodology was used with instruments such as pre-test, post-test and a questionnaire. The instruments were applied to 60 high school students who were divided into two groups: experimental group and control group. The control group received traditional teaching in the classroom while the experimental group received teaching using Chat GPT as the main instrument in the computer center. For 4 weeks, evaluations were carried out before and after the intervention to measure the effectiveness of Chat GPT in the acquisition of vocabulary in students. Statistical analysis, including paired t-tests, mean and standard deviation, revealed significant improvements in the experimental group, with an increase in scores from 7.52 to 8.83 in pre-test and post-test. Additionally, students' perception of the use of ChatGPT is, in general, positive and they consider that this tool has been very beneficial in motivating them to learn the language and use it appropriately for learning English. However, it is important to emphasize that the proper use of this tool requires that students have clear learning objectives.

Published: February 2025

Entrepreneurship in Croatia is predominantly male-dominated, with only 18.6% of companies owned by women. Cultural, social norms and business policies either support or hinder women’s participation in business. This paper explores the reasons behind the low engagement of women in entrepreneurship and examines the characteristics of female-led companies in the small and mediumsized enterprise sector. Key obstacles to female entrepreneurship are identified, with a focus on whether women experience discrimination compared to men and the most common forms of such discrimination. The research, based on a semi-structured questionnaire, surveyed 271 female entrepreneurs. Results show that 52% have encountered gender-based discrimination, primarily through traditional social stereotypes, limited opportunities for advancement, and difficulties in achieving work-life balance. Alarmingly, only 21.8% of companies have established procedures to address discrimination. These findings highlight the need for empowering women in entrepreneurship and strengthening protection against gender-based discrimination. The paper contributes to the academic literature on entrepreneurship by offering exploratory insights into the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs. However, the study’s limitations include the relatively small sample size in comparison to the overall population.

This work aims at providing fundamental general tools for the analysis of water spectra as observed in protoplanetary disks with JWST-MIRI. We analyze 25 high-quality spectra from the JDISC Survey reduced with asteroid calibrators as presented in K. M. Pontoppidan et al. (2024). First, we present a spectral atlas to illustrate the clustering of H2O transitions from different upper-level energies (E

u
) and identify single (unblended) transitions that provide the most reliable measurements. With that, we demonstrate two important excitation effects: the opacity saturation of ortho-para line pairs that overlap, and the subthermal excitation of excitation of v = 1–1 lines scattered across the v = 0–0 rotational band. Second, we define a shorter list of fundamental lines spanning E

u
 =  1500–6000 K to develop simple line-ratio diagnostic diagrams for the radial temperature distribution of water in inner disks, which are interpreted using discrete temperature components and power-law radial gradients. Third, we report the detection of disk-rotation Doppler broadening of molecular lines, which confirms the radial distribution of water emission including, for the first time, the radially extended ≈170–220 K reservoir close to the snowline. The combination of measured line ratios and broadening suggests that drift-dominated disks have shallower temperature gradients with an extended cooler disk surface enriched by ice sublimation. We also report the first detection of an H2O-rich inner disk wind from narrow blueshifted absorption in the ro-vibrational lines. We summarize these findings and tools into a general recipe to make the study of water in planet-forming regions reliable, effective, and sustainable for samples of >100 disks.

This study reports the first equatorial records of four demersal marine fish species, Plectranthias yamakawai Yoshino, 1972, Aulacocephalus temminckii Bleeker, 1855, Iniistius geisha (Araga et Yoshino, 1986), and Randallichthys filamentosus (Fourmanoir, 1970), collected off Lembeh Island, northern Sulawesi, Indonesia. All these species had been previously reported only from higher latitudes in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, leading to their classification as anti-equatorial. Their presence in equatorial Indonesian waters at 1.4°N latitude suggests that their distributions extend beyond those usually regarded as anti-equatorial and that a re-evaluation of their biogeographical classification would be in order. In particular, the need for further research on deep-sea fish diversity in extremely low latitude regions is highlighted.
An Australian raspy cricket established in New Zealand, Pterapotrechus salomonoides (Orthoptera, Gryllacrididae), with notes on ecology and first description of the male
Authors: Hegg Danilo
Published: February 2025

The Australian genus Pterapotrechus Karny, 1937 (Orthoptera, Grylla­crididae) currently includes three species: Pterapotrechus beta (Griffini, 1909) and P. longicornis (Tepper, 1892) from Australia’s Northern Territory, and P. salomonoides (Karny, 1929) from Southern Queensland. All three species were described from one adult female only, with the male being unknown in each case. None of the three species has been revised since their original descriptions. When a winged raspy cricket was first detected in New Zealand in 1990, it was attributed to the genus Pterapotrechus as an undescribed species. In this paper, the species P. salomonoides is identified based on the original description and on the examination of the holotype. The species is redescribed in detail, and the male is described for the first time. Comparison of morphology and DNA from fresh specimens collected at the type locality confirm that P. salomonoides is the species established in New Zealand. The expansion of the species’ geographic range in New Zealand, aspects of its ecology, and possible impact on native ecosystems are discussed. Pterapotrechus beta is synonymized with P. longicornis after comparison of the holotypes.
Clinical Application of Vitamin D in Depression
Authors: Liu Ting-Hui , Kim Tae , Rucklidge Julia , Carvalho Andre , Xiang Yu-Tao , Solmi Marco , Su Kuan-Pin
Published: February 2025

Vitamin D, a neuroactive steroid with widespread receptors in brain tissue, has garnered increasing attention as a potential therapeutic agent for major depressive disorder (MDD). This article reviews the current evidence on the efficacy, mechanisms of action, and clinical implications of vitamin D supplementation in MDD treatment. The antidepressant effects of vitamin D are thought to be mediated through multiple mechanisms, including modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, enhancement of neuroplasticity, and anti-inflammatory effects. Current evidence provides mixed support for the use of vitamin D primarily as an adjunctive therapy to standard antidepressants, with limited data on its efficacy as monotherapy. Dosages ranging from 1,500 to 5,000 IU/day for 8 to 20 weeks have shown mixed efficacy in improving depressive symptoms. While generally well tolerated, monitoring is advisable to prevent potential toxicity with long-term use of high doses. The efficacy of vitamin D supplementation may be limited in certain populations such as older adults, while evidence remains inconclusive for perinatal depression. Given its favorable safety profile and potential benefits, vitamin D supplementation warrants consideration as part of a comprehensive treatment approach for MDD, particularly in patients with concurrent vitamin D deficiency. Further research is needed to establish optimal dosing regimens, treatment duration and to explore its efficacy as monotherapy. This review synthesizes the current understanding of the role of vitamin D in MDD treatment and highlights areas for future investigation.

Bridging the Gap: Implementation Science in Nutritional Psychiatry Practice
Authors: Su Kuan-Pin , Malau Ikbal Andrian , Gałecki Piotr , Marx Wolfgang , Mueller-Stierlin Annabel Sandra , Chang Cherry Hui-Chih
Published: February 2025

Nutritional psychiatry is a promising approach to mental health, yet translating research into clinical practice remains a challenge. This article underscores the importance of implementation science in closing the gap between evidence and real-world application. Current barriers include the entrenched focus on pharmacological treatments, inadequate integration of nutritional interventions into established care models, and limited clinician training in nutrition. To address these issues, we suggest incorporating dietitians or nutritionists into mental health teams, educating case managers on nutritional interventions, and expanding interdisciplinary collaboration. Additionally, investing in comprehensive training programs for clinicians and leveraging emerging technologies can help facilitate this integration. By embracing these strategies, nutritional psychiatry can be more effectively implemented into routine mental health care, offering a more holistic and patient-centered approach. Implementation science is key to overcoming these barriers and advancing mental health treatment, leading to improved outcomes and enhanced well-being for patients.

Published: February 2025

Purpose

Studies examining the link between cancer survivorship and subjective cognitive decline (SCD) are lacking. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the association between cancer survivorship and SCD among a nationally representative sample of middle-aged and older adults.

Method

Data were obtained from the 2021 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey. Crude and adjusted logistic regression models, controlling for age, gender, race/ethnicity, educational level, income, and work status, were used to determine the association between cancer survivorship characteristics and SCD.

Results

Respondents who were currently undergoing treatment had 86% higher odds of SCD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.86; 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.06, 3.27]) compared to respondents who completed treatment. However, those who refused treatment were less likely to report SCD (aOR = 0.006; 95% CI [<0.001, 0.059]) compared to respondents who completed treatment.

Conclusion

Cognition interventions may be helpful for individuals diagnosed with cancer who are undergoing treatment, middle-aged, and have not started treatment. [

Authors: Waterworth Susan , Pearson Caitlin , Raphael Deborah
Published: February 2025

Purpose

Older adults have a strong desire to self-manage their overall well-being, including their mental health. However, there is a risk that low mood could be associated with aging, normalized and accepted, and impacts help-seeking behavior by older adults. Thus, the current study explored how older adults in New Zealand manage low mood.

Method

This qualitative descriptive study was embedded in a study exploring community-dwelling older adults' well-being. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 37 older adults aged between 66 and 99 years (mean age = 83 years). Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.

Results

Four themes emerged: (1)
Noticing, Normalizing, and Thinking Differently
; (2)
Engaging in Meaningful Activities
; (3)
Connecting With Others
; and (4)
Seeking Help
. Importantly, older adults developed positive ways of managing low mood.

Conclusion

Successful strategies older adults implemented can be shared, challenging stereotypes that low mood is specifically part of the aging process. For nurses, greater awareness of the strategies older adults use to combat low mood is vital to ensure they can maintain overall well-being. [

The Moderating Effect of Age on the Association Between Circadian Syndrome and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Disability in People With Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Li Qiuhong , Li Ruyue
Published: February 2025

Purpose

To examine the association between circadian syndrome (CircS) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) disability in middle-aged and older adults with diabetes, as well as the moderating effect of age on CircS and IADL disability.

Method

Participants included 939 individuals with diabetes. IADL disability was defined as having trouble finishing specific tasks. CircS was defined as having four or more specific symptoms. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to examine associations among CircS, age, and IADL disability.

Results

Of total participants, 29.3% had IADL disability. CircS and age were associated with IADL disability (CircS: odds ratio [OR] = 1.898, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.370, 2.630]; age: OR = 1.045, 95% CI [1.027, 1.063]; both
p
< 0.001). The interaction effect of age on CircS and IADL disability was significant (OR = 1.047, 95% CI [1.004, 1.092],
p
= 0.032).

Conclusion

Individuals with diabetes and CircS had a higher risk of IADL disability than those without CircS, and the difference in predicted probabilities of IADL disability between the two groups increased with age. [

Estetika kibersveta in učinki derealizacije
Authors: Gržinić Marina
Published: February 2025

Knjiga je teoretično in filozofsko-politično premišljevanje o novomedijskih in sodobnoumetniških pogojih konstitucije postmodernega subjekta ter o implikacijah, ki jih ima takšna konstitucija za umetnost, kulturo, teorijo, politiko in praktično, aktivistično ravnanje. Avtorica raziskuje meje in išče odgovore na vprašanja, ali lahko zares nedolžno bivamo znotraj različnih režimov umetnosti, tehnologije in podatkovnih zbirk, in kako si lahko utiramo pot do morebitne reartikulacije filozofije in teorije. Pri tem gre za združevanje filozofije in estetske teorije ter fikcije, zgodovine in raziskovanja političnega, ki danes kot resno preučevanje demokracije in (nacionalnih) politik vstopa na področje sodobne umetnosti, znanosti in tehnologije.
Uvod v poetiko Anne A. Ahmatove
Authors: Zajc Neža
Published: February 2025

The monography (' The Introduction to the Poetics of Anna A. Akhmatova ') on the poetry of Anna Andreevna Akhmatova through comprehensive treatment of the author's life accents those landmark moments that have influenced on the development of poetic creativity. Biographical framework is merely a means to elaborately capture the poetic opus. The research of the poetry of A. A. Akhmatova, provided in this monography, is based on the historical sources (biographical, memoir, author's original manuscripts). The decisive conclusions regarding the specific characteristics of poetry of Anna A. Ahmatova arose on the basis of the study of manuscript materials. Introduction to the poetics of this maybe the greatest Russian poetess is thus genuinely becoming an essential part of revealing the historic mural on the literary and artistic intelligence of the Russian culture in the first half of the 20th century. In addition, in the book are considered mostly all author's lyrics and poems, some of them have been translated into Slovene for the first time (omitted from pdf edition).
Le palais entre centre et périphérie : le cas de Palerme
Authors: Bresc Henri
Published: February 2025

Les plans de Palerme illustrent les mutations au sein de l’Islam : le palais, central, sous les Aghlabites, au cœur de la « ville des musulmans », est transféré par les émirs kalbites, représentants du califat shî‘ite d’Afrique, dans une ville proche, mais séparée, caserne de la garnison berbère, doublement étrangère à la madīna. C’est l’héritage de cette méfiance qui explique le repli du palais normand dans une position dominante et périphérique, à l’abri derrière une ville fermée, véritable qaṣaba, la Galca. Les révoltes urbaines du xiie siècle conduisent encore le roi à bâtir une ville-palais à cinq kilomètres de Palerme, Monreale. Abandonné par la monarchie après 1210, Palerme se donne un pouvoir urbain tardif, toujours entravé par l’autorité monarchique, et un palais communal qui retrouve la centralité, tandis que la Seigneurie des Chiaramonte, puis la vice-royauté aragonaise choisissent pour leur résidence un site proche du port, dans l’ancienne Khāliṣa.
La formation d’une urbanité périphérique dans deux grands ports d’immigration : Marseille et Buenos Aires au tournant des xixe et xxe siècles
Authors: Bechini Thibault
Published: February 2025

Au début des années 1870, Marseille et Buenos Aires, ports largement ouverts aux flux migratoires, abritent les deux plus importants effectifs de population italienne hors d’Italie. Si les quartiers centraux des deux ports ont accueilli, de manière temporaire ou prolongée, de nombreux migrants italiens, il importe de rappeler que les marges des deux villes ont également été des points de fixation de l’immigration italienne, dans un contexte d’urbanisation qui rattrape les vastes périphéries dont disposent Marseille et Buenos Aires. En effet, des pans entiers du changement urbain y reposent sur des configurations sociales très ouvertes, qui favorisent la mise en valeur agricole, industrielle, résidentielle et récréative des marges. Toutes ces activités concourent à la formation d’une urbanité périphérique à laquelle participent activement les populations immigrantes.

Nous racontons l’histoire de ClimServ, ou l’histoire de la mutualisation de moyens de calcul et de bases données au service de projets de recherche du LMD qui ont décidé de mettre en commun leur moyen au service du collectif. ClimServ est le résultat d’une longue construction au plus près des équipes de recherche pour répondre au mieux à leur besoin, et résultat d’une intégration IPSL en plusieurs étapes (fusion de différentes équipes en gestion de données au fil des ans) et d’une intégration nationale, aujourd’hui ClimServ faisant partie du service ESPRI, Ensemble de Services Pour la Recherche à l’IPSL.
L’épopée ScaRaB
Authors: Capderou Michel
Published: February 2025

À une époque où le changement climatique n’était envisagé que par quelques spécialistes, Robert Kandel décide de lancer, dès 1985, le LMD dans l’aventure spatiale pour l’étude du bilan radiatif de la Terre. L’instrument ScaRaB, imaginé, conçu et fabriqué par le LMD volera, avec des fortunes diverses, à bord de trois satellites, deux russes et un indien. Nous présentons ici l’instrument, sa mise en œuvre dans le contexte de l’époque et les résultats qu’il a fournis.
Assimilation d’observations et prévisibilité de l’atmosphère. Le LMD et la prévision météorologique
Authors: Talagrand Olivier
Published: February 2025

Dès sa création, le LMD s’est intéressé à la prévision météorologique numérique. Cet intérêt s’est largement porté sur la question de l’assimilation des observations, c’est-à-dire de la définition des conditions initiales d’une prévision numérique à partir de toutes les informations pertinentes disponibles. Une étape majeure a été le développement de l’assimilation variationnelle qui, par utilisation du modèle adjoint du modèle de prévision, permet d’ajuster globalement ce dernier à un ensemble d’observations distribuées dans le temps. L’assimilation variationnelle est devenue un outil de base de la météorologie numérique.Parmi les nombreux travaux que le LMD a effectués sur les liens entre la dynamique de l’atmosphère et la théorie des systèmes dynamiques, on mentionne particulièrement la prévision d’ensemble, et plus spécialement les méthodes d’évaluation statistique de ce type de prévision.
La météorologie et les climats polaires au LMD
Authors: Genthon Christophe , Hourdin Frédéric , Joussaume Sylvie
Published: February 2025

Les données issues de l’analyse des carottes de glace polaires dans la communauté française ont constitué l’un des premiers moteurs d’un intérêt particulier porté à la modélisation des climats et paléoclimats des régions polaires au LMD. Le passage d’une grille horizontale figée et peu adaptée aux régions polaires à une grille « zoomable » au début début des années 1990, permettant de simuler dans le modèle global des climats régionaux à une résolution horizontale de plus en plus fine a été particulièrement bénéfique pour la région Antarctique. Des travaux plus récents d’évaluation et d’amélioration d’une physique pas toujours bien conçue et/ou calibrée pour les climats extrêmes des régions polaires ont aboutie à un modèle aujourd’hui bien reconnu pour ses capacités dans ces régions.
LMDZ : récit d'un physicien à la barre d'un modèle global dans la tempête climatique
Authors: Hourdin Frédéric
Published: February 2025

Dans les années 1980, Robert Sadourny décide de réécrire le noyau dynamique du modèle climatique global LMD. Ce nouveau noyau est d'abord utilisé pour l'étude et les simulations numériques des atmosphères planétaires. Dans les années 90, son couplage avec les paramétrisations physiques de l'ancien modèle climatique du LMD donne naissance au nouveau modèle climatique global LMDZ, rapidement adopté comme composante atmosphérique du modèle climatique global de l'IPSL. Ce modèle, intimement lié à l'histoire de la fédération IPSL, est largement utilisé dans la communauté nationale et internationale pour la compréhension du système climatique et l'anticipation des conséquences climatiques du réchauffement global induit par l'augmentation du dioxyde de carbone dans l'atmosphère, due à la consommation de pétrole et de charbon. Ce chapitre retrace les 35 ans d'histoire de l'équipe LMDZ à partir du point de vue subjectif de l'un de ses acteurs. Cette histoire est rythmée et marquée par l'importance de l'alerte climatique. L'histoire de l'équipe LMDZ a été guidée tout au long de cette période par la conviction de la pertinence des modèles climatiques globaux à physique paramétrée pour éclairer les choix politiques face à la crise climatique, et par une volonté continue de promouvoir le lien entre la compréhension de la physique atmosphérique et le développement de modèles.
De la spectroscopie fondamentale à l’analyse du rayonnement atmosphérique au LMD
