Design of a New Chaotic System with Sine Function: Dynamic Analysis and Offset Boosting Control
Authors: RAMAR Rameshbabu
Published: July 2023

A new chaotic system is presented in this research work.The proposed system has three nonlinear terms and one sine term which improves the complexity of the system. The basic properties of new system such as Lyapunov exponent, equilibrium point and stability are analyzed in detail. The dynamic analysis is conducted using classic tools such as bifurcation diagram and Lyapunov exponent plot to verify the chaotic nature in the proposed system. The changes in the states of the system is verified using bifurcation diagram and Lyapunov exponent plot. The proposed system presents some special features such as two wing attractors, forward and reverse periodic doubling bifurcation, and dc offset boosting control. The dc offset boosting behavior can be used to diagnosis the multistability behaviour in the dynamical system and to reduce the number of components in the communication system. This special feature converts the bipolar signal in to unipolar signal which can be used in many engineering applications. The theoretical study and the simulation results show that the proposed system has wealthy chaotic behaviour itself. Furthermore, the adaptive synchronization of identical new system is achieved for the application of secure communication system.

Abstract. Isoprene emissions are a key component in biosphere–atmosphere interactions, and the most significant global source is the Amazon
rainforest. However, intra- and interannual variations in biological and environmental factors that regulate isoprene emission from Amazonia are
not well understood and, thereby, are poorly represented in models. Here, with datasets covering several years of measurements at the Amazon Tall Tower
Observatory (ATTO) in central Amazonia, Brazil, we (1) quantified canopy profiles of isoprene mixing ratios across seasons of normal and anomalous
years and related them to the main drivers of isoprene emission – solar radiation, temperature, and leaf phenology; (2) evaluated the effect of
leaf age on the magnitude of the isoprene emission factor (Es) from different tree species and scaled up to canopy with intra- and
interannual leaf age distribution derived by a phenocam; and (3) adapted the leaf age algorithm from the Model of Emissions of Gases
and Aerosols from Nature (MEGAN) with observed changes in Es
across leaf ages. Our results showed that the variability in isoprene mixing ratios was higher between seasons (max during the dry-to-wet
transition seasons) than between years, with values from the extreme 2015 El Niño year not significantly higher than in normal years. In
addition, model runs considering in situ observations of canopy Es and the modification on the leaf age algorithm with leaf-level
observations of Es presented considerable improvements in the simulated isoprene flux. This shows that MEGAN estimates of isoprene
emission can be improved when biological processes are mechanistically incorporated into the model.

Abstract. Climate change and the associated glacier retreat lead to
considerable enlargement and alterations of the proglacial systems. The
colonisation of plants in this ecosystem was found to be highly dependent on
terrain age, initial site conditions and geomorphic disturbances. Although
the explanatory variables are generally well understood, there is little
knowledge on their collinearities and resulting influence on proglacial
primary succession. To develop a sphere-spanning understanding of vegetation
development, a more interdisciplinary approach was adopted. In the
proglacial areas of Fürkeleferner, Zufallferner and Langenferner (Martell
Valley, Eastern Italian Alps), in total 65 plots of 5×2 m were
installed to perform the vegetation analysis on vegetation cover, species
number and species composition. For each of those, 39 potential explanatory
variables were collected, selected through an extensive literature review.
To analyse and further avoid multicollinearities, 33 of the explanatory
variables were clustered via principal component analysis (PCA) to five
components. Subsequently, generalised additive models (GAMs) were used to
analyse the potential explanatory factors of primary succession. The results
showed that primary succession patterns were highly related to the first
component (elevation and time), the second component (solar radiation),
the third component (soil chemistry), the fifth component
(soil physics) and landforms. In summary, the analysis of all explanatory
variables together provides an overview of the most important influencing
variables and their interactions; thus it provides a basis for the debate on future
vegetation development in a changing climate.
Refining Remote Sensing precipitation Datasets in the South Pacific: An Adaptive Multi-Method Approach for Calibrating the TRMM Product
Authors: Mirones Óscar , Bedia Joaquín , Herrera Sixto , Iturbide Maialen , Baño Medina Jorge
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Calibration techniques are gaining popularity in climate research for refining numerical model outputs, favored for their relative simplicity and fitness-for-purpose in many climate impact applications. Their range of applicability goes beyond numerical model outputs and can be applied to calibrate remote sensing datasets that can exhibit important biases as compared to in situ meteorological observations. This study presents an adaptive calibration approach specifically designed for calibrating the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation product across multiple stations in the South Pacific. The methodology involves the daily classification of the target series into five distinct Weather Types (WTs) capturing the diverse spatio-temporal precipitation patterns in the region. Various quantile mapping (QM) techniques, including empirical (eQM), parametric (pQM), and Generalized Pareto Distribution (gpQM), as well as an ordinary scaling, are applied for each WT. We perform a comprehensive validation by evaluating 10 specific precipitation-related indices that hold significance in impact studies, which are then combined into a single Ranking Framework (RF) score, which offers a comprehensive evaluation of the performance of each calibration method for every Weather Type (WT). These indices are assigned user-defined weights, allowing for a customized assessment of their relative importance to the overall RF score. Our 'adaptive' approach selects the best performing method for each WT based on the RF score, yielding an optimally calibrated series. Our findings indicate that the adaptive calibration methodology surpasses standard and weather-type conditioned methods based on a single technique, yielding more accurate calibrated series in terms of mean a extreme precipitation indices consistently across locations. Moreover, this methodology provides the flexibility to customize the calibration process based on user preferences, thereby allowing for specific indices, such as extreme rainfall indicators, to be assigned higher weights. This ability enables the calibration to effectively address the influence of intense rainfall events on the overall distribution. Furthermore, the proposed adaptive method is highly versatile and can be applied to different scenarios, datasets, and regions, provided that a prior weather typing exists to capture the pertinent processes related to regional precipitation patterns. Open-source code and illustrative examples are freely accessible to facilitate the application of the method.
Air Mass Transport to the Tropical West Pacific Troposphere inferred from Ozone and Relative Humidity Balloon Observations above Palau
Authors: Müller Katrin , Wohltmann Ingo , von der Gathen Peter , Rex Markus
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Due to the unique local air chemistry, the transport history of tropospheric air masses above the remote tropical West Pacific (TWP) is reflected by local ozone (O3) and relative humidity (RH) characteristics. In boreal winter, the TWP is the main global entry point for air masses into the stratosphere and therefore a key region of atmospheric chemistry and dynamics. However, a long-term in situ monitoring of tropospheric O3 to assess the variability of TWP air masses and the respective controlling processes has yet been missing. The aim of our study was to identify air masses with different origins and pathways to the TWP and their seasonality using the new Palau time series (2016–2019) of mostly fortnightly Electrochemical Concentration Cell ozone and radio soundings. Based on monthly statistics of O3 volume mixing ratios and RH we defined a free tropospheric locally-controlled background and analyzed anomalies for both tracers in the 5–10 km altitude range. We found that anomalously high O3 indicates a remote origin, while RH is controlled by a range of dynamical processes resulting in a bimodality in RH anomalies. The Palau time series confirms a year-round presence of low O3 background air masses and a seasonal mid-tropospheric cycle in O3 with a prominent anti-correlation between O3 volume mixing ratios and RH. We assumed five different types of air masses with differing tracer characteristics and origin which we validated by analyzing backward trajectories calculated with the transport module of the Lagrangian chemistry and transport model ATLAS. The main result is a clear separation of origin and pathways for the two most contrasting types of air masses, i.e. ozone-poor and humid versus ozone-rich and dry air. Both, potential vorticity and air mass origin analyses, reveal no indication for stratospheric influence for the ozone-rich dry air masses. Rather, we found indications for O3 production due to biomass burning or anthropogenic pollution at the origins of these air masses and drying due to clear sky subsidence during long-range transport. The seasonal occurrence is tied to the position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone which opens a pathway from potential source regions which are confirmed by the trajectory analysis. We conclude, that dominant ozone-poor and humid air masses are of local or Pacific convective origin and occur year-round, but dominate from August until October. Anomalously dry and ozone-rich air is generated in Tropical Asia and subsequently transported to the TWP via an anti-cyclonic route, mostly from February to April. The areas of origin suggest different sources of ground pollution as a cause for O3 production. We propose large-scale descent within the tropical troposphere and subsequent radiative cooling in connection with the Hadley circulation as responsible for the vertical displacement and dehydration.
Using orthogonal vectors to improve the ensemble space of the ensemble Kalman filter and its effect on data assimilation and forecasting
Authors: Cheng Yung-Yun , Yang Shu-Chih , Lin Zhe-Hui , Lee Yung-An
Published: July 2023

Abstract. The space spanned by the background ensemble provides a basis for
correcting forecast errors in the ensemble Kalman filter. However, the
ensemble space may not fully capture the forecast errors due to the limited
ensemble size and systematic model errors, which affect the assimilation
performance. This study proposes a new algorithm to generate pseudomembers
to properly expand the ensemble space during the analysis step. The
pseudomembers adopt vectors orthogonal to the original ensemble and are
included in the ensemble using the centered spherical simplex ensemble
method. The new algorithm is investigated with a six-member ensemble Kalman
filter implemented in the 40-variable Lorenz model. Our results suggest that
the ensemble singular vector, the ensemble mean vector, and their orthogonal
components can serve as effective pseudomembers for improving the analysis
accuracy, especially when the background has large errors.
An approach for projecting the timing of abrupt winter Arctic sea ice loss
Authors: Hankel Camille , Tziperman Eli
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Abrupt and irreversible winter Arctic sea ice loss may occur under anthropogenic warming due to the disappearance of a sea ice equilibrium at a
threshold value of CO2, commonly referred to as a tipping point. Previous work has been unable to conclusively identify whether a tipping
point in winter Arctic sea ice exists because fully coupled climate models are too computationally expensive to run to equilibrium for many
CO2 values. Here, we explore the deviation of sea ice from its equilibrium state under realistic rates of CO2 increase to
demonstrate for the first time how a few time-dependent CO2 experiments can be used to predict the existence and timing of sea ice tipping
points without running the model to steady state. This study highlights the inefficacy of using a single experiment with slow-changing CO2
to discover changes in the sea ice steady state and provides a novel alternate method that can be developed for the identification of tipping
points in realistic climate models.

Published: July 2023

A proposta de comunicação oral se propõe a refletir a respeito de algumas cosmovisões e cosmopercepções imagéticas dos povos de matriz africana em São Luís-Maranhão a respeito do cruel contexto pandêmico da Covid-19 disseminado em todo o mundo (especialmente em 2020-2021), tomando como pontos reflexivos as alterações e transformações no cotidiano dessas comunidades, a exemplo dos calendários de realização das suas festas e rituais, tendo como foco aqui, a festa do Divino Espírito Santo, além das mobilizações políticas e estratégias de (re)existências e enfrentamentos do vírus. Como metodologia transitaremos de uma perspectiva pós-colonial/ estruturalista ao pensamento decolonial (KRENAK, 2020) dialogando tanto com a Antropologia Visual/ da Imagem/ Etnografia, quanto com a Cultura Popular e a Sociologia. Como instrumentos investigativos, destacamos nossas interlocuções de pesquisa de campo antropológica com algumas casas de Tambor de Mina e Candomblé na cidade- a exemplo da comunidade de matriz africana da Ialorixá Bianca Lopes (festeira do Divino), que nos últimos anos tem realizado a sua festa no Centro Histórico Ludovicense- ‘O Divino no/ do Reviver’. Uma das problemáticas apontadas pelo trabalho elencará quais os sentidos e significados resultantes das imagens de interdição, do silenciamento das caixas e, especialmente das desobediências pandêmicas nas continuidades das devoções sagradas ao Divino Espírito Santo e no ‘fazer festivo’.

Representaciones sociales y cultura del agua: prácticas cotidianas y elementos hídricos del territorio en la ciudad de Piura
Authors: Aranda Dioses Edith
Published: July 2023

Reconociendo el potencial de las representaciones sociales que integran la cultura del agua a escala local, como un componente de suma importancia para lograr el equilibrio territorial sostenible, este artículo analiza a través de dichas representaciones los factores que modelan las relaciones de los habitantes con el agua en la ciudad de Piura, Perú. Desde el enfoque cualitativo, se interpretan los significados que emergen de la información recogida en una encuesta semiestructurada, entrevistas en profundidad, un taller participativo y en documentos que presentan situaciones que los habitantes no reflejan en su discurso. Se revela que las representaciones centrales del agua muestran una visión antropocéntrica utilitarista de esta como servicio urbano y una mirada como bien común con una actitud enfocada en la conservación del recurso. Estos constructos sociocognitivos se manifiestan en las prácticas cotidianas de uso del agua y están asociados con los significados atribuidos a los elementos hídricos del territorio, como el río Piura y las lluvias del fenómeno El Niño (fen), que integran la cultura del agua local. Se concluye argumentando que el conocimiento de la forma cómo los habitantes se relacionan con el agua, en diálogo con el saber científico, puede contribuir a la gestión sostenible del recurso hídrico en el territorio de la costa norte peruana donde se emplaza la ciudad.

Authors: Irwan Alamsyah , Musba Andi Muhammad Takdir
Published: July 2023

ABSTRAK

Pendahuluan : Herpes zoster disebabkan oleh reaktivasi virus varicella zoster. Post Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) ialah nyeri akibat zoster yang masih ada 1 bulan setelah perkembangan vesikel. Biasanya prognosisnya baik, namun beberapa pasien tetap menderita nyeri jangka panjang. Tujuan terapi PHN adalah mengurangi nyeri dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup. Obat antiepilepsi dan antidepresan trisiklik adalah pilihan pertama.

Ilustrasi Kasus : Pada laporan kasus ini, dilakukan pengamatan pada pasien laki-laki berusia 32 tahun dengan nyeri kepala sebelah kiri menjalar seperti listrik hingga kelopak mata kiri selama ± 6 minggu, rasa tertusuk-tusuk paku secara tiba-tiba, terasa kebas/kram, terdapat nyeri saat disentuh (allodynia), dan hipoestesia. Riwayat penyakit sebelumnya ialah herpes zoster dan mendapatkan terapi acyclovir dan simpotamis seperti paracetamol, asam mefenamat, dexamethasone, dan cetirizine. Pasien datang dengan Visua Analog Scale (VAS) 6-7/10 dan didiagnosis dengan Sub Acute Post Herpetic Neuralgia. Pasien mendapatkan terapi Lyrica (Pregabalin) 50 mg 2 kali sehari 1 tablet, Amitriptyline 10 mg sekali sehari 1 tablet, Ultracet (Tramadol 37,5 mg + paracetamol 375 mg) 3 kali sehari 1 tablet. Setelah hari ke-14 VAS pasien berkurang menjadi 2/10, namun timbul efek samping berupa bibir kering dan sering ngantuk dan pengobatan yang berlanjut hanya Amitriptyline 10 mg/hari.

Simpulan : Pemberian terapi yang cepat pada PHN memberikan pencegahan terjadinya nyeri yang refrakter, sehingga sulit memberikan terapi yang adekuat. Pemberian terapi lini pertama pada PHN subakut menggunakan agen amitriptyline, pregabalin, dan tramadol memberikan efek yang sangat baik dalam mengatasi nyeri pada subacute PHN, akan tetapi perlu adanya pemantauan tentang efek samping yang terjadi dikarenakan potensiasi pada ketiga obat tersebut.

Inter- and translocality and the sense of coherence of street children
Authors: Sokołowska Jolanta
Published: July 2023

The conducted study refers to the works of Cracow researchers (K. Frysztacki, M. Nka and M. Smagacz-Poziemska) who, while observing children functioning in the street space, noticed that it is very difficult to create a universal model that would reproduce the cause and effect chain of their actions. According to them, more attention should be paid to the contextual aspect of functioning of this category of children. Considering the nature of the bond with the public space, the aforementioned researchers distinguished two categories: translocal children (unrooted, on the move) and interlocal children (rooted, located in the public space).The aim of this study was to learn the role of the environmental context in shaping the sense of coherence of street children. The theoretical assumptions refer to Aaron Antonovsky's coping model and works presenting the process of coherence formation, with particular emphasis on the period of adolescence, which is considered the peak phase of the identity crisis. The conducted research is a part of the exploratory and diagnostic research focused on searching (exploration) and learning about hidden facts and the relationships between them. The survey technique was used to conduct the survey and the SOC-13 questionnaire was used as a research tool. The research group consisted of street children selected due to their nature of bonds with the public space, so they were children functioning within the district or on the move.The obtained results confirm that the type of bonds with the public space has a significant impact on the characteristics and skills that a child develops in contact with the street, which should be considered when designing methods of social work with each of these categories of children.

Farmer led innovations: Retrospect and prospects
Authors: BALIWADA HEMA , SHARMA J P , GILLS RESHMA
Published: July 2023

Agricultural development in any country is innovation driven. At the end of the development process, innovation makes the difference in farmersâ€™ adoption decision. Indian farmers have also been in the process of continuously improving available technologies and innovating new ideas for more efficient and cost-effective farming, which has resulted in numerous innovations over the generations. It helped not only to improve farming practices but also to ensure better livelihood options. Despite its relevance and importance, it has neither been documented nor recognized. Even if the documentation has been done, the Intellectual Property Rights on the innovations made by the farmers has often been ignored. The innovations have neither been properly institutionalized for their horizontal and vertical expansion nor properly disseminated. Though, initiatives by government and non-government bodies to identify and document the farmer led innovations have taken place in recent past but in a limited scale only. It is therefore necessary to provide sufficient and suitable institutional support to the farmers for the promotion of farmer led innovations and to document, validate and scale up of these innovations. The institutional arrangements for networking of stakeholders need to be devised to translate the challenges faced in the institutionalization of farmer led innovations into opportunities. The present article is an attempt to document the importance of farmer led innovations, role of institutions in promoting it, reasons for slow pace of spread and strategies for scaling up the farmer led innovations with special emphasis on Indian conditions.

Development of a prototype of a low-cost sound intensity probe
Authors: Peixoto Daniel Henrique N. , Magalhães Max de Castro , Papini Guilherme de Souza
Published: July 2023

The sound intensity is a vector quantity equal to the product of the sound pressure by the particle velocity vector, being used, mainly, for identification and characterization of sound sources. The sound intensity probes called "p-p" use two pressure transducers, installed very close to each other, to obtain the particle velocity by employing a finite difference approximation to the local spatial gradient of sound pressure. This work has as its main objective to present a low-cost p-p sound intensity probe prototype, built with 3D printing aid and measuring equipment available at UFMG: two preamplified microphones and an acquisition board. MATLAB software was also used, in which a signal processing was implemented to correct the phase difference between the acquisition channels and to calculate the sound intensity. All experiments performed with the intention of validating the sound intensity probe prototype are also presented together with their results, which were quite consistent with the theory studied.

The study described here is a comparative analysis of the National and State Education Plans and three municipalities in the Greater ABC Paulista Region, namely: Santo André, São Bernardo do Campo and São Caetano do Sul, referring to Goal 1, which deals with the stage of Early Childhood Education. This analysis allowed the unveiling of priorities evidenced by each instance (national, state and municipal) for the qualification of this educational stage. Such priorities are implied in a posteriori categories selected by the researchers, in order to enable the analysis of the goal and strategies through the technique of content analysis supported by Bardin (1977, 1994) and Franco (2008). This is a documentary research of mixed approach. Quantitative regarding the analysis of the categories found in each of the strategies of the highlighted plans and qualitative regarding the interpretation of these data through the interpretation of the researchers. As for the results found, it is observed that the main priority of the governors for this stage continues to be the issue of access to account for universalizing early childhood education in preschool for children from 4 (four) to 5 (five) years of age and expanding the offer of early childhood education in daycare centers for children up to 3 (three) years old.
The removal of family power in the context of parental alienation by false memories: Risks and challenges
Authors: Santos Eduarda Silva dos , Nodari Maísa
Published: July 2023

From the creation of Law n° 12.318/2010, parental alienation was brought under Brazilian jurisdictional protection. In context, parental alienation is the demerit campaign generally carried out by those who hold custody of the minor, in relation to the other parent, with the aim of weakening the child's or adolescent's affective bond with him/her, removing him/her from their coexistence. This practice may even involve the implantation of false memories in the minor, causing him/her to mistakenly remember traumatic moments that occurred because of the alienated parent, capable of cause various psychological damages to the infants involved, in addition to harming their biopsychosocial development and violating the right to healthy family coexistence, guaranteed in the Magna Carta. From this perspective, it was necessary to assess whether the removal of family power is the best alternative to be applied, under the aegis of the principle of the best interests of the child that governs this order. To this end, we analyzed qualitatively, descriptively and bibliographically, scientific research by scholars in the field of psychology, psychiatry and law, obtaining a multidisciplinary result, about the Parental Alienation Law and its possibilities and applicability.

The relationship between physical spatiality and virtual media is affected and transformed by information technology. The Internet, the "backbone" of global communication (Castells, 2002, p. 431), is a transformative tool and also in constant transformation. And in the so-called "Information Age," not only do the transformations happen at a fast pace, but they also move the social gears responsible for the significant changes in society and the cities quickly. And it could not be different since this century was designated as the urban century by the United Nations – UN. Among the changes, according to Castells (2002), are the interactive computer networks that grow exponentially, creating new forms of communication to articulate socially. Mobile devices, such as laptops, cell phones, tablets, and social networks, are instruments that facilitate communication and the action of activism by reaching instantly and simultaneously a large number of Internet users. With these facilities, many activist groups have appropriated these new media to disseminate information, organize and mobilize the population (CASSIANO, 2011). Among the groups of activists who use digital media is the Ciclo activism, an organized movement of cyclists with records of demonstrations since the 1990s, according to the Union of Cyclists of Brazil - UCB. This group, organized horizontally that is, without leaders, defends the use of the bicycle to the detriment of the use of private motorized transport and acts in the field of clashes over the meanings of urban mobility, issues related to urban planning, and socio-environmental problems in cities. With multiple approaches, they are attentive to urban planning, sustainability, and the use of the bicycle as a means of transportation. Thus, with the increasing use of social networks by various groups of society, the problem arises about the political participation of cyclo activism in the informational territory.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic started in March 2020 and is marked by a high number of infected. The symptoms of the disease are variable and the most severe cases occurred mainly in elderly patients and those with previous comorbidities. Objectives: To profile infected patients in the city of Canoas/RS, who required hospitalization for COVID-19; whose hospital discharge happened in January 2021. Method: This is a descriptive, exploratory, retrospective and documentary study, with a quantitative approach, where 51 medical records of patients living in Canoas/RS were analyzed, and had the hospital discharge in January 2021 with a positive diagnosis for the COVID-19 virus, at the city´s benchmark hospital. Results: The profile that was found: male, with an average age of 55,6 years old, white and single. The average hospitalization was 6,8 days. About the medications, the most frequently used was dexamethasone and, among other care prescribed after hospital discharge, the most known was the follow-up at the Basic Health Unit. Approximately 34 patients had some comorbidity and, also, more than half had previously used continuous medications. Only three patients in the study responded affirmatively about exposure to COVID-19 and the main symptoms presented by patients in general were dyspnea, cough and fever. Final considerations: The study shows that patients with advanced age and with chronic diseases are at greater risk of developing the severe form of COVID-19. The high rate of transmissibility can be observed by the absence of information regarding the natural history of the disease.

Industrias y proyectos de desarrollo en Chubut antes de la implantación de los polos industriales subsidiados
Authors: Pérez Álvarez Gonzalo
Published: July 2023

Apunto a describir el desarrollo industrial en Chubut, desde su incorporación al Estado Nacional (hacia 1865-1880) hasta 1970, año en que comenzó a desarrollarse en plenitud el modelo desarrollista. Focalizo en la región noreste del territorio, por tratarse de aquella que más temprano se integró al desarrollo capitalista, y porque allí se concentró el impacto del polo industrial.
Incorporo al análisis dos documentos específicos: la propuesta de creación de la Comisión de Fomento Patagonia, hacia el comienzo del gobierno de Juan Domingo Perón, y un informe publicado en 1970 por el Consejo Federal de Inversiones. Pretendo ofrecer elementos para responder algunos interrogantes, relevantes para analizar el proceso histórico de esta región. ¿Existía en Chubut la posibilidad de industrias que no fuesen dependientes de subsidios? ¿Esa alternativa era viable y el polo de desarrollo fue un factor que llevó a frustrarla? ¿Cuáles eran las opciones de industrializar recursos naturales o materias primas tradicionales? ¿Se analizó esa posibilidad desde los proyectos industrialistas?
Decolonizing Science: Undoing the Colonial and Racist Hegemony of Western Science
Authors: Held Mirjam
Published: July 2023

Decolonization is the complicated and unsettling undoing of colonization. In a similarly simplified definition, science is a structured way of pursuing knowledge. To decolonize science thus means to undo the past and present racist and colonial hegemony of Western science over other, equally legitimate, ways of knowing. This paper discusses the paradigmatic prerequisites and consequences of decolonizing Western science. Only if Western science is toppled from its pedestal and understood in a cultural way can it engage with other sciences at eye level. Such equal collaboration that results in the co-creation of new knowledge based on the scientific method and Indigenous scientific inquiry is what decolonizing science is all about. What it looks like in practice is highly variable as there is no one-size-fits-all approach due to the fact that Indigenous knowledge is rooted in the local, the land. Therefore, decolonizing science is much more a path than a destination. This path, however, will also pave the way to a new multiparadigmatic space. A quick look into the history and philosophy of science reveals that new paradigms have always emerged after a few trailblazers started engaging in a new way of doing science.
