Ice formation processes key in determining WCB outflow cirrus properties
Authors: Lüttmer Tim , Miltenberger Annette , Spichtinger Peter
Published: January 2025

Abstract. The macrophysical and radiative properties of cirrus clouds are strongly influenced by their formation pathway. Formation pathways are thought to differ in the dominant ice nucleation mechanism and the thermodynamic regime: liquid origin cirrus are forming at water saturation and ice crystals from by freezing of liquid water drops, while in-situ cirrus form below water saturation at cold temperatures (T < 235 K) and ice crystals form directly from water vapor. Warm conveyor belts (WCBs) transport liquid droplets and moisture from the boundary layer into the upper troposphere, where cirrus is formed in the outflow. A priori, it is uncertain which ice formation pathway is favoured. We employ a two-moment multi-class cloud microphysics scheme that distinguish between five cloud ice classes. Each ice class is represents ice formed by a unique formation mechanism and therefore we are able to investigate the nucleation process by which ice at an arbitrary location in the model was initially formed. Our analysis suggests that cirrus in the WCB outflow consist predominantly of ice formed by in-situ nucleation processes. However, Lagrangian trajectories show that the cirrus is derived from mixed-phase clouds. The main WCB ascent region was embedded in a slow ascending air mass that resulted in in-situ ice formation above the WCB. This in-situ formed ice sedimented into mixed-phase clouds of the WCB below. We further show that this sedimenting ice substantially alters cirrus properties. Taking into account the combined information on thermodynamic history, ice nucelation processes, and sedimentation is therefore likely vital for cirrus formation and classification.

Abstract. This case study explores the evolution of clouds during an Arctic cold air outbreak in the Fram Strait region observed during the HALO-(𝒜𝒞)3 aircraft campaign. Our research provides information about the formation, structure, micro- and macrophysical properties, radiative effects and investigates the role of vertical wind shear and buoyancy forces in the transition from regular cloud streets to rather isotropic cloud patterns. Our findings show that lower horizontal boundary layer wind speeds (< 12 m s-1) disrupt the formation of cloud streets, leading to more isotropic cloud patterns, characterized by increasing cloud fraction (from 0.73 to 0.84), cloud top height (from 330 m to 390 m), and quantify the increase of liquid water path as well. In addition, we observe an increase of the number concentration of ice crystals in a size range between 100 µm and 1000 µm and notable riming processes within organized cloud streets. Concurrent radiation measurements in our case study reveal that isotropic cloud patterns can exhibit either low or high albedo as well as low or high Fnet,TIR, suggesting that these patterns represent different developing stages.

Abstract. In September 2024, several European countries experienced extreme and prolonged record-breaking rainfalls that induced severe flooding and caused widespread damage, casualties and disruptions. In this context, the Emilia-Romagna Region in Northern Italy suffered heavy precipitation primarily affecting the Lamone River basin, where a levee breach occurred near the village of Traversara causing the flooding of urban settlements, vineyards, orchards and crops. Since the same area was severely impacted by devastating floods no later than May 2023, it is relevant to understand whether this area indeed faced extreme precipitation events in two consecutive years and to explore how the hydrological-hydraulic modelling can support the preparedness against these recurring events.

Türkiye’de Sigara Bırakmada Yeni Medikal Tedavi: Sitizin
Authors: Kızıltaş Özlem
Published: January 2025

Nikotin bağımlılığı nedeniyle sigarayı bırakmak zor olsa da, bırakma ile erken ölüm riski %90 oranında azaltılabilir. Mevcut tedaviler olan farmakoterapi (vareniklin, bupropion, nikotin replasman tedavisi [NRT]) ve davranışsal terapilerin kombinasyonu en etkili yöntemdir. Ancak bu tedavilerin maliyeti özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkeler için yüksektir. Bu nedenle, etkili, güvenli ve ekonomik yeni tedavi yöntemlerine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bitki bazlı bir alkaloid olan sitizin, nikotinin etkilerini taklit eder ancak bağımlılık yapıcı değildir. α4β2 nikotinik reseptörlerine bağlanarak nikotin etkisini azaltır, içme isteğini düşürür ve yoksunluk semptomlarını hafifletir. Sitizin etken maddeli ilaç, 25 günlük bir tedavi rejimiyle kullanılır. Doz, ilk günlerden itibaren kademeli olarak azaltılır. Sitizin, düşük maliyeti ve güvenli profili nedeniyle özellikle düşük gelirli ülkelerde erişilebilir bir sigara bırakma tedavisi olarak önemli bir potansiyele sahiptir. Klinik çalışmalar, sitizinin etkinliğini, tolere edilebilirliğini ve yan etkilerinin daha az olduğunu göstermektedir. Sitizin, sigara bırakma tedavisinde umut verici bir seçenektir. Doğal kökenli, ucuz ve jenerik üretime uygun olması, özellikle ekonomik sınırlamaları olan ülkeler için önemli bir avantajdır. Ancak, sitizinin klinik etkinliğini ve güvenliğini daha iyi anlamak için ileri düzeyde klinik çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Authors: Sherk Lauren M. , MacKay Melissa , McWhirter Jennifer E. , Papadopoulos Andrew
Published: January 2025

Global public health events such as the COVID-19 pandemic create public awareness of the need for skilled public health graduates and public health graduate programs. Core Competencies for Public Health are tools that can guide graduate-level public health programs to ensure students are receiving the appropriate knowledge, tools and skills required to become effective public health practitioners that comprise a strong public health workforce. Case-based learning is a learner centered approach that allows students to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios, promoting higher-order thinking. The University of Guelph Master of Public Health graduate program incorporates both the Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada as created by the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Pan-Canadian Health Promoter Competencies developed by Health Promotion Canada (HPC), as well as experiential learning to ensure students are receiving a high-quality learning experience throughout the course of their studies. Assessments of the program, individual courses within the program, and assignments within the courses are beneficial to ensure alignment with the Public Health Core Competencies—including Health Promotion Core Competencies. In the present study, surveys were administered to students enrolled in the University of Guelph Winter 2021 semester Health Promotion class before and after completion of an experiential group health promotion assignment worth 50% of their grade. The assignment used case-based learning within a group setting, allowing students to engage and apply knowledge gained through the semester to solve a real-world public health issue. Students reported increased self-perceived proficiency in all Core Competencies after completion of the practice-based group health promotion program assessment.
Making Collaboration Work: Fostering Positive Experiences and Attitudes around Psychological Safety, Diversity, and the Value of Teamwork
Authors: Plaisance Kathryn S. , Logel Christine , Lok Christopher
Published: January 2025

The ability to work well in a team is becoming increasingly important across disciplines and throughout the workplace, making it a valuable skill for students to develop. Evidence suggests that diverse perspectives can generate more innovative ideas and enhance critical thinking, but only if team members value diversity and share knowledge with one another. To foster students’ abilities to work well in diverse teams, we must teach them why collaboration is important and how to bring about its benefits. We describe a new interdisciplinary course designed with these goals, along with an evaluation of the degree to which students who take this course show changes in attitudes and beliefs around teamwork. The course emphasizes psychological safety—a measure of how safe a team is for interpersonal risk-taking. Research shows that psychological safety is an important predictor of team success and a key mechanism for incorporating diverse perspectives. We surveyed students at the start of the course, the end of the course, and just after the following term. At the end of the course, students reported increased psychological safety in their teams, more positive attitudes towards teamwork, and stronger beliefs that diversity is beneficial. At the end of the following term, students reported higher levels of psychological safety in their teams than before the course, and their attitudes about psychological safety and teamwork still remained more positive. We discuss implications of these findings for researchers studying student teamwork and for instructors who wish to introduce or improve collaborative experiences in their courses.

Published: January 2025

It is the responsibility of all health profession education programmes to prepare their graduates to champion social justice and health equity (SJ/HE) within and beyond the healthcare system. However, little is known about the perspectives of educational leaders within health professional programmes regarding the teaching and learning environment (TLE) with respect to SJ/HE. The objective of this study was to explore the perspectives of health profession education leaders about their individual and collective vision for a TLE that promotes SJ/HE and its actualization. A qualitative descriptive approach was utilized to gather, synthesize and make meaning of the perspectives of academic leaders in one Canadian health professional faculty. Using semi-structured interviews, participants (n=14) representing five different colleges including medicine, nursing, oral health, pharmacy, and rehabilitation sciences, were interviewed in-person in the academic setting. Following inductive thematic analysis, one overarching theme resulted, “We Need to Walk the Talk.” Five sub-themes also emerged, including understanding of SJ/HE; the current TLE; facilitators and barriers to a TLE promoting SJ/HE; and actions required to further develop a TLE promoting SJ/HE. Academic leaders expressed hope and willingness to create a TLE that promotes SJ/HE, acknowledging that there was a lot to be done and a unified vision for the faculty is important. The results of this study underscore the need for academic leaders to have a clear and unified articulation of a TLE that embodies SJ/HE for all.

Published: January 2025

We describe a detailed program evaluation for a University-wide teaching and learning grants program at a Canadian research-intensive university. This work was designed to determine if the program is driving the types of changes in practice it was designed to support. We administered a survey that included yes/no response and Likert-scale questions to assess supports provided, outcomes, challenges, and impact of the grants program; and a series of open-ended questions inviting participants to share qualitative narratives describing their perceptions of the program and its effects. Thematic analysis of the survey responses revealed that the grants program provides tremendous value in strengthening scholarly communities and fosters wide ranging benefits to learners and teachers through ripple effects that extend well beyond the stated goals of the program. The engagement of students as partners in scholarly work and the development of local cultures and conversations around the scholarship of teaching and learning generated exciting new opportunities. The program supported innovative teaching strategies and deep engagement in teaching and learning, and provided opportunities for presentation, publication, and support from national funding bodies. It is clear that our institutional teaching and learning grants program is key to fostering a scholarly environment on our campus that benefits the entire community.
Evaluating the Impacts of an Undergraduate Mental Health Literacy Course
Authors: Zaza Christine , Yeung Ryan Christopher , Shanbhag Gitanjali
Published: January 2025

Mental health literacy is an important factor in caring for mental health; however, in the post-secondary student population, mental health literacy is reported to be low. To address these issues, in 2020, one of the authors [CZ] developed an undergraduate mental health literacy (MHL) course offered through the Faculty of Health, University of Waterloo, to undergraduate students in all Faculties. Building on promising early research conducted by two of the authors in 2021, we conducted three studies to evaluate the impacts of the fully online version of this MHL course. Study #1 was a pre-post study to examine knowledge and attitudes related to mental health literacy (n = 162). Study #2 was a one-month follow-up study to assess continued use of mental wellness strategies practiced during the course (n = 18), and study #3 was a content analysis of part one of the final reflection assignment of the course (n = 32). The pre-post study did not reveal any meaningful changes in knowledge and attitude from Time 1 to Time 2. However, the one-month follow-up study and the content analysis of the final reflection assignment showed multiple meaningful and positive shifts in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours related to mental health, stigma, self-care, well-being, supporting others with mental health concerns, and the meaning of resilience. In addition, the content analysis revealed that students were sharing course resources with peers, friends, family members and with their community at large. In addition to guiding revisions to strengthen the MHL course under investigation, our findings are relevant to other MHL education initiatives in this population.
Seven Guiding Principles for Building Fellowship in SoTL
Authors: Acai Anita , Frake Mandy , Hamilton Melanie , Maher Patrick , Verwoord Roselynn , Woolmer Cherie
Published: January 2025

Considering the expansive context of the international Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) community, SoTL scholars may wish to reflect and identify what exists for building and nurturing fellowship, and how they may be enacted in practice to benefit others. In this reflective article, we draw on our experiences as International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (ISSOTL) Fellows to offer seven guiding principles for building fellowship. These principles include: (1) create space, (2) avoid and resist formal roles, (3) maintain confidentiality and build trust, (4) allow members to self-determine their level of engagement, (5) embrace a group process that is emergent and organic, (6) find congruence in values, and (7) acknowledge the evolutionary nature of the collective. When considered as a meaningful process of community building and engagement, these principles may be useful points of discussion, reflection, and as Felten (2013) states in relation to his Principles for Good Practices in SoTL, to “...articulate a vision of scholarship that enhances, perhaps even transforms, teaching and learning in higher education” (p. 121). Much like Felten, our objective was not to craft a detailed, step-by-step guide for fellowship. Instead, we have provided a series of reference points intended to help people clarify and demystify their own SoTL communities and networks, whether these communities are formal or informal in nature.
Peer Support and Pedagogical Conversations: Keys to Building Faculty Capacity in a Digital Age
Authors: Thomas Christy , Hartwell Amber
Published: January 2025

With the COVID-19 pandemic, post-secondary institutions pivoted to providing hybrid or fully online courses and recognized the need to mitigate the challenges faced by faculty in navigating this shift. This study was conducted at one Western Canadian university and followed a design-based research approach that included three phases and utilized mixed methods (interviews and surveys). The purpose of this research was to build faculty capacity for online teaching and learning. Overall, findings indicated that while the need for capacity building and improving collective practice was heightened during the pandemic, it remains a persistent need because faculty are continually faced with adjusting to ongoing complexities related to teaching and learning. One of the areas identified to build faculty capacity in this study was ongoing professional development emphasizing peer support and collegial conversations to aid faculty in adjusting teaching practices to various modalities including online learning. This study is significant for post-secondary institutions and researchers interested in building faculty capacity and improving collective teaching practices.
Racialized and Colonial Experiences of Graduate Teaching Assistants: Oppression, Meaning and Transformation
Authors: Park Augustine S. J. , Bahia Jasmeet , Bing Alex
Published: January 2025

Despite significant research on racialized inequity in higher education, little research examines the experiences of TAs who are Black, Indigenous or people of colour (BIPOC) in Canada. Based on 37 semi-structured interviews with BIPOC domestic graduate student TAs, this article explores the racialized and colonial oppression of BIPOC TAs: They confront racism from students (disrespect, challenges to their authority and expertise; microaggressions and discrimination; exposure to racist and colonial discourse in students’ work). They also experience challenges with TA supervisors (not being heard; discriminatory discipline; political alienation). Finally, BIPOC TAs face racism within administration (“unthinking” racism; discrimination). Yet, BIPOC TAs also experience TAing as a source of meaning (love of teaching; pride in their pedagogy; desire to help students) and transformation (fostering critical thinking; reflecting students’ identities; being a role model). Although BIPOC TAs are marginalized by institutional whiteness-coloniality, they engage in resistance from the position of marginality. Given the vital role TAs play in today’s universities, attention is needed to address the inequities faced by BIPOC TAs and to support their role in transforming the university.
Relational Teaching Behaviours in the Large University Class: An Observational Study
Authors: Beaudry Simon G. , Lennox Terrion Jenepher , Rocchi Meredith , Bartleman Michelle
Published: January 2025

Larger class sizes in higher education can generate many challenges for educators, notably increased negative student evaluations of teaching. This study suggests that one strategy for countering some of the shortcomings of the large classroom is to take a relational teaching approach. We coded the relational communication behaviours of professors teaching in large in-person classrooms and found that encouraging participation as well as having a relaxed body position were most prevalent among instructors with typically high course evaluation ratings. In addition, correlations between relational teaching behaviours and students’ course evaluation reports found that instructors with the highest scores were more likely to make eye contact and to smile. We argue that relational teaching behaviours may have an impact on students’ perceptions of teaching quality. These findings provide insights into more effective relational teaching in the large class, in particular demonstrating that the most prevalent relational teaching behaviours are not necessarily the most important or effective.
Supporting Graduate Students’ Critical Reading: A Relational Approach Through the Development of Digital Resources
Authors: Mosher Ronna , Van Rosendaal Alison
Published: January 2025

Critical reading and discussion are intellectual practices both expected within and developed through graduate education. Maturing these practices requires pedagogical support, guidance, and authentic contexts in which critical thinking and language can be negotiated with others. This article documents a relational approach to developing digital resources to support novice graduate students’ critical engagement with scholarly literature in a context requiring the navigation of complex, interconnected dimensions of theory, practice, and professional identity. The article contributes to considerations of how graduate students develop critical reading capacities through a focus on the distinctive situated, relational, and intergenerational practices of educating attention. It conceptualizes critical reading as relational and provides a heuristic framework through which a relational intergenerational approach to supporting critical reading might be envisioned and enacted across disciplinary contexts.
The nature, portrayal of eternity and economic use of non-birdsong subjects in La rousserolle effarvatte, from Catalogue D’oiseaux by Oliver Messiaen
Authors: Loo Fung Chiat , Loo Fung Ying
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the longest work from Catalogue d'oiseaux, La rousserolle effarvatte, focusing on the non-birdsong subjects that depict the nature and habitat of the solo birdsong, the reed warbler. The analysis reveals that Messiaen used the time of day and non-birdsong subjects to structure the work, incorporating elements such as pond music, sunrise and sunset, and flower themes. It also shows that many of the non-birdsong subjects employ Messiaen’s harmonic language, including résonance contractée, thème d’accords, and others, to represent these subjects. Many of the harmonic progressions used in this work appear in previous compositions such as Le Merle Noir (1952), Turangalîla-Symphonie (1946-48), and Cantéyodjayâ (1949), indicating Messiaen’s economical use of material, which may also explain the significance of his compositions.
Some characterizations on gradient almost n-Ricci-Bourguignon solitons
Authors: Traore Moctar , Tastan Hakan Mete , Gerdan Aydin Sibel
Published: January 2025

We characterize a Riemannian manifold with gradient almost $\eta$-Ricci Bourguignonsolitons structures. We show that a gradient almost $\eta$-Ricci-Bourguignon soliton is gradient $(-\frac{1}{\omega u})$-almost traceless Ricci soliton with the potential function $k$. Moreover, we investigate that a gradient $(-\frac{1}{\omega u})$-almost traceless Ricci soliton is isometric to a standard unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n}$, hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n}$ and Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with constant scalar curvature or its associated vector fields is conformal. Finally, we deduce some properties of integral formulas for the gradient compact case.
Impact of India’s FTAs and FTA Partners on India’s Trade: A Gravity Model Approach
Authors: Charu Bhurat
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the impact of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) on India’s trade flows, focusing on exports and imports through a gravity model. FTAs are formal agreements establishing trade obligations between nations. As of September 2024, the World Trade Organization (WTO) recognized 373 FTAs in force globally. Advancements in transportation and digital technologies have spurred FTA growth, lowering trade barriers and expanding markets. The ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement (AIFTA) increased bilateral trade to US$110.4 billion in 2021-22, benefiting Indian exporters with preferential tariff access, enhanced export potential, and reduced trade deficits. However, AIFTA’s impact has been uneven, with gains limited to specific sectors. The study also examines India’s bilateral FTAs and SAFTA (South Asian FTA) between 2014 and 2024, finding SAFTA to be ineffective in boosting trade. Using OLS and fixed-effects models, the paper highlights GDP and geographic distance as key trade determinants and underscores the need for strategically designed FTAs.

Authors: Mardoñez-Balderrama Velia , Burgoa-Vargas Javier , Siacar-Bacarreza Sandra , Cruz-Arias Rubén
Published: January 2025

Introducción: La obesidad en la población pediátrica es una entidad que en los últimos años está aportando avances importantes en cuanto a su fisiopatología y co-morbilidades.
Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia y asociación de variables de riesgo que podrían generar alteración de la geometría ventricular en pacientes obesos en edad pediátrica.
Material y métodos: Estudio transversal analítico. El universo comprendió pacientes pediátricos obesos atendidos en el hospital materno infantil de la CNS de la ciudad de La Paz-Bolivia. Se incluyeron pacientes entre los 2 años y 18 años de edad diagnosticados por primera vez con obesidad. Se evaluaron variables de riesgo como hipertensión arterial sistémica, proteína C reactiva (PCR) elevada, dislipidemia. Las múltiples variables de asociación se establecieron con dos grupos de comparación basados en la presencia/ ausencia de alteración de la geometría del ventrículo izquierdo.
Resultados: Se estudiaron 67 pacientes, 44 hombres y 23 mujeres. Se obtuvo la media de edad de los escolares (8 años) y de los adolescentes (13 años). El índice de masa de ventrículo izquierdo (IMVI) presentó una media de 72,9±19,5. Se estableció asociación entre factores de riesgo mediante la prueba de chi-cuadrado, no encontrándose asociación estadísticamente significativa en ninguno de los casos; sin embargo, el análisis de correlación de variables con la prueba estadística de Spearman obtuvo una correlación positiva significativa entre el IMC y el IMVI (p=0,008; r=0,32).
Conclusiones: La obesidad representa un factor de riesgo relevante para mortalidad a mediano plazo en la población pediátrica. La presencia de geometría ventricular izquierda alterada es el hallazgo más relevante para calificar el riesgo cardiovascular.

Authors: Sousa Kelly Vanessa Nunes de
Published: January 2025

No cerne da abordagem da montagem cênica “Operária”, encontra-se a marcante influência estética do Teatro Político de Bertolt Brecht, que desempenha um papel crucial no processo criativo tanto da atuação quanto da dramaturgia. Além disso, a pesquisa incorpora as vivências de outros operários durante o período de 2010 a 2014, quando a autora esteve envolvida na linha de produção das motocicletas na Zona Franca de Manaus. Um dos principais objetivos do trabalho é trazer à cena não apenas as experiências reais da autora, mas também desenvolver a construção da personagem “operária” através de relatos compartilhados por outros indivíduos que compartilharam dessa função no polo industrial de Manaus.

La evaluación escolar estima el aprovechamiento curricular y la calidad educativa en la medida que es pertinente, confiable y válida. Analizar el rendimiento de los estudiantes de segundo año de secundaria, comparando la consistencia de la calificación escolar docente (evaluación interna) con las puntuaciones de los test estandarizados (evaluación externa). Se realiza un análisis longitudinal (2014-2022) de las bases de datos de rendimiento escolar del Ministerio de Educación y los resultados en las pruebas estandarizadas del Sistema de Medición de la Calidad de la Educación en Chile. Compara ambos sistemas de evaluación de un total de 250.000 estudiantes organizados en 2.972 colegios. Los datos evidencian un continuo desacoplamiento entre los sistemas de evaluación interna y externa. Por un lado, se observa un sostenido aumento en la calificación escolar docente y, por otro, una relativa invariabilidad en los puntajes de los test estandarizados, tanto en lenguaje como en matemáticas. Situación particularmente evidente en colegios que atiende preferentemente a estudiantes de mayor nivel socioeconómico. Esta inconsistencia evaluativa estaría reportando la existencia de una práctica de inflación de calificaciones, comportamiento estratégico en respuesta las presiones que directa o indirectamente diversos agentes ejercen sobre los docentes.

This research was designed to examine the litholytic properties of the fruit of Kigelia africana. The presence of a high concentration of phyto-molecules in the plant extract prevents the aggregation and development of crystals, comparable to the function of natural substances found in urine that inhibit crystal formation. The pharmacological assessment of K. africana was conducted using turbidity technique and dissolution percentage. Calcium oxalate was artificially synthesized and enclosed inside the SPM in both procedures. The results were statistically evaluated and show a considerable anti-urolithiasis activity (P<0.001) when compared to both the control group and the standard group (Berberis vulgaris).
