Digital open repositories: reliability evaluation based on ISO 16363 criteria
Authors: Benin Keli Rodrigues do Amaral , Hamanaka Raíssa Yuri , Gonçalez Paula Regina Ventura Amorim
Published: May 2022

Open science is constituted of open access, open data, open reproducible search, open science assessment; open science policies; open science tools; open education; open licensing, citizen science, digital preservation, and open innovation. In this research, we intend to approach open access, constituted by open publication in digital repositories (DRs). DRs are the locus of preservation of digital objects, but how do we ensure that a document stored in a DR will be available for long-term access? The reliability of DRs relates to the long-term preservation of their digital records. The ISO 16363:2012 Space data and information transfer systems – Audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories establish a set of attributes, responsibilities, and requirements that allow the audit and certification of repositories. The objective of the research is to evaluate the institutional repository of the Federal University of Espírito Santo, the Institutional Repository of the Federal Institute of Amazonas, and the Digital Repository of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul according to the requirements demanded by ISO 16363:2012. This article is qualitative research with an exploratory and descriptive objective. We sent a survey to the repository collaborators to conduct the self-assessment according to the ISO's reliability criteria. Long-term preservation and authenticity of the information in digital media become necessary for DRs to be effectively trusted.

Authors: Siqueira Joyce , Martins Dalton Lopes , Medeiros Vinícius Nunes
Published: May 2022

The Brazilian Institute of Museums – Ibram, in partnership with the Federal University of Goiás and the University of Brasília, has been building a new service for searching and retrieving digital objects from federal museum collections, an aggregator of cultural data called Brasiliana Museums. The process for aggregating museological data includes different steps. One of which is essential is mapping metadata from the museums of origin to a single metadata standard, enabling the interoperability of information between museums. Ibram's museums make their collections available through the Tainacan software. Thus, this article presents a new functionality for Tainacan, entitled "Tainacan Mappers IBRAM INBCM", which aims to allow users to map their collections to the descriptive elements proposed by Ibram, listed in the National Inventory of Museum Cultural Assets – INBCM. The research is qualitative, exploratory and descriptive, in the form of a case study. The results presented the script developed using the programming language Hypertext Preprocessor - PHP and its benefits for data aggregation. The new functionality is in use in the Brasiliana Museus prototype. As future works, it is intended to implement more advanced operations, such as transformation, concatenation and division of values.

The incidence of hypertension is very high in human societies and its treatment is the most important priority in many countries. Knowledge of the plants that are used may provide insight on their properties, for further exploration. This study aimed to collect the knowledge on traditional medicine for the treatment of hypertension in different regions of Morocco. We reviewed 145 research publications based on data from the six explored regions of Morocco published until August 2021 in various journals. This was achieved using literature databases: Google, Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline, Science Direct and Researchgate. The findings of this study indicated that 23 plants have been reported to possess antihypertensive activities in in vivo / in vitro experiments, while 81 plants had not been studied for such an activity. Plants from the Lamiaceae, Asteraceae and Apiaceae families were used most often. Leaves were the plant parts used most often. Decoction was the main preparation method. Twenty three plants have been explored experimentally for their antihypertensive activity. This review provides baseline data for plant species used to treat hypertension in Morocco and provides new areas of research on the antihypertensive effect of these plants.

Published: May 2022

Abstrak

Suatu peninggalan arsitektur selalu memiliki identitas unik yang jika dicermati dapat menginformasikan banyak hal terutama tentang gaya arsitektur yang mengacu pada kapan bangunan tersebut dibangun. Dalam hal ini, identifikasi karakteristik arsitektur adalah pada bagian fasad bangunan, yang dipilih karena merupakan bagian bangunan yang langsung terlihat dari luar, sehingga merupakan hal pertama yang teridentifikasi. Objek penelitian yang dipilih adalah gereja, sebab merupakan salah satu bangunan yang cukup penting, mengingat fungsinya sebagai tempat ibadah. Untuk lokasi penelitian, dipilih kota Jakarta sebab dianggap dapat mewakili keragaman gereja di Indonesia. Setelah diadakan pengamatan awal, dapat diketahui bahwa gereja di Jakarta sudah ada sejak akhir tahun 1800. Tentunya gereja masa awal ini memiliki karakter arsitektur yang berbeda dengan gereja yang dibangun pada akhir tahun 1900. Mengingat bahwa akhir tahun 1800 adalah masa arsitektur colonial, maka penelitian ini dibuat untuk mengetahui apakah ada kaitan antara karakter arsitektur bangunan (dalam hal ini fasad bangunan) terhadap karakter arsitektur yang ada pada masa itu (gaya arsitektur kolonial). Dalam hal ini, metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif kualitatif, dimana studi kasus akan dianalisa elemen fasadnya berdasarkan karakter fasad arsitektur kolonial. Dari hasil penelitian, dapat diketahui bahwa sebagian besar studi kasus memiliki karakter fasad yang sama dengan acuan yang digunakan sebagai arsitektur kolonial. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada kesesuaian antara fasad studi kasus terhadap karakteristik fasad arsitektur kolonial.

Published: May 2022

Penelitian tentang pencahayaan pada area kerja dapur pada rumah tinggal belum banyak ditemukan padahal hal ini penting mengingat tingkat kompleksitas dan detail kegiatannya yang cukup tinggi. Aspek terkait efisiensi pelaksanaan kegiatan, kenyamanan visual dan keselamatan kerja sangat penting untuk dipertimbangkan dalam perancangan pencahayaan di dapur, terutama pada area kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran akan pentingnya peran pencahayaan pada area kerja dapur. Fokus penelitian ini ditekankan pada pencahayaan buatan dikarenakan karakteristiknya yang stabil dan juga mengingat kegiatan di dapur dapat dijalankan sewaktu-waktu. Lokus penelitian dipilih berdasarkan tipe konfigurasi dasar dapur. Adapun ruangan dapur tanpa jendela di perimeternya dipilih agar tidak terjadi bias pencahayaan alami. Tiap lokus juga dibatasi dengan beberapa keadaan terutama dengan adanya kabinet di atas area kerja sehingga penyediaan pencahayaan setempat atau task lighting dapat disediakan di sisi bawah kabinet tersebut. Pengukuran tingkat pencahayaan rata-rata (iluminasi) dilakukan dalam dua kondisi yakni ketika task lighting tersebut dimatikan dan dinyalakan. Nilai iluminasi yang diperoleh kemudian akan dibandingkan kesesuaiannya dengan standar yang ada. Di sini kemudian dapat diketahui apakah task lighting hendaknya disediakan pada perancangan dapur terutama yang terkait dengan area kerjanya dan bila disediakan berapa tingkat iluminasi yang dibutuhkan agar kondisi kerja yang efisien, nyaman dan aman dapat dicapai. Penelitian bersifat sederhana namun memiliki nilai urgensi. Dapur merupakan jantung dari sebuah rumah tinggal di mana kegiatan persiapan berbagai kebutuhan penghuninya banyak dilakukan. Tingkat ketelitian menyangkut kebersihan atau higienitas dan keselamatan sangat terbantu dengan adanya penyediaan pencahayaan yang cukup. Diharapkan kedepannya agar penelitian yang lebih kompleks dengan lokus penelitian yang lebih luas dapat dilakukan untuk mengedepankan kesadaran pentingnya area kerja dapur pada rumah tinggal yang layak guna, efisien, nyaman dan aman.

Diversas pesquisas apontam que o desenvolvimento de práticas de gestão de pessoas adequadas e alinhadas às estratégias da organização é um grande direcionador para que as empresas alcancem maior vantagem competitiva, por gerar maior agilidade dos processos, melhoria da qualidade de produtos ou serviços, geração de novas competências e redução dos custos. Contudo, a maioria destas pesquisas exploram o tema em grandes organizações, deixando uma lacuna de conhecimento sobre este alinhamento em pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs), sobretudo no contexto brasileiro. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar um instrumento de pesquisa para identificar relações entre estratégias competitivas e práticas de gestão de pessoas utilizadas em PMEs, permitindo que estratégias de inovação, melhoria da qualidade ou redução de custos, sejam relacionadas à quatro práticas de gestão de pessoas: recrutamento e seleção, treinamento e desenvolvimento, remuneração e avaliação de desempenho. O instrumento foi testado em um estudo que analisou estas relações em 34 PMEs do setor industrial, apresentando-se como um recurso que pode trazer contribuições significativas para o processo decisório estratégico de gestores destas organizações.
A MÃO DE OBRA FEMININA NO MERCADO DE TRABALHO BRASILEIRO: DISCRIMINAÇÃO SALARIAL POR GÊNERO
Authors: Maia Katy , Devidé Júnior Ariciéri , Inforzato de Souza Solange de Cassia , Bruno Cugini Sarah Cristina
Published: May 2022

Há décadas as mulheres têm sofrido com a discriminação de gênero no mercado de trabalho, impedindo-as de exercerem plenamente seu papel como cidadãs além do ambiente familiar e prejudicando sua evolução e ascensão no mundo do trabalho. A partir do século XX, no entanto, elas começaram a ganhar espaço nesse mercado, assumindo um novo perfil como geradora de renda familiar. Sob esta ótica, este estudo objetiva analisar a participação das mulheres no mercado de trabalho e os diferenciais de salários por gênero no Brasil, a partir dos microdados da PNAD, do IBGE, de 2002 e 2011. O procedimento metodológico consistiu em estimar a equação de salário (MINCER, 1974), aplicar a correção do viés de seleção na amostra (HECKMAN, 1979) e decompor o modelo de Oaxaca (OAXACA, 1973). Os resultados obtidos mostram que, apesar de as mulheres serem mais escolarizadas do que os homens, ainda há diferenciais salariais que não decorrem dos fatores produtivos, sinal de discriminação no mercado de trabalho brasileiro, tanto em 2002 como em 2011. Podem ser destacados dois aspectos, um negativo e outro positivo, nesse período: houve aumento da discriminação por gênero, contudo aumentou a participação das mulheres no mercado de trabalho.
UMA DISCUSSÃO DO DESENVOLVIMENTO RURAL SOB O ENFOQUE DA PARTICIPAÇÃO DA POPULAÇÃO TRABALHADORA DO MEIO RURAL EM ATIVIDADES AGRÍCOLAS E NÃO AGRÍCOLAS
Authors: Pontili Rosangela Maria , Staduto Jefferson Andronio Ramundo , Henrique Jonas da Silva
Published: May 2022

O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi o de analisar a distribuição da população trabalhadora do meio rural, em atividades agrícolas e não agrícolas, no período de 1997 a 2011, levando-se em conta a distinção por sexo e faixa etária. Escolheram-se, para isso, os trabalhadores das regiões Nordeste e Sul do Brasil e realizou-se uma comparação entre as duas regiões. Partiu-se, assim, da atual concepção de desenvolvimento rural, segundo a qual as famílias rurais têm buscado a pluriatividade, para garantir a absorção de sua mão de obra. Deste modo, fizeram-se análises estatísticas das Pesquisas Nacionais por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD’s) e estimou-se um modelo log-linear para a população em questão. Os resultados comprovaram que a participação de trabalhadores jovens em atividades não agrícolas tem crescido mais do que em atividades agrícolas, sendo os percentuais ainda maiores entre as mulheres, isto para as duas regiões analisadas. Comprovou-se, também, a redução da população trabalhadora inserida em atividade agrícola, além de ter havido uma queda da diferença entre o total de trabalhadores agrícolas e não agrícolas, especialmente na população feminina. Foi percebido, ainda, que a mudança no perfil dos trabalhadores residentes em áreas rurais tem ocorrido a uma velocidade maior na região Sul, na comparação com a região Nordeste. No entanto, tal realidade também já afeta os nordestinos de maneira significativa. Uma vez que os resultados indicaram a existência de pluriatividade no meio rural das duas regiões, sugeriu-se que as políticas a serem adotadas visando o desenvolvimento rural devem levar em conta essa nova realidade.

Published: May 2022

Este trabalho faz uma análise do desempenho acadêmico de estudantes da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) com o objetivo principal de verificar se há diferenças significativas entre estudantes que receberam e não receberam o bônus sociorracial no vestibular da instituição. Os resultados sugerem que o desempenho escolar entre bonistas e não bonistas é similar na grande maioria das comparações. Ou seja, a política de bônus sociorracial, implementada durante alguns anos na UFMG, não promoveu a entrada de estudantes com baixo potencial acadêmico, sendo, portanto, uma política eficaz de inclusão social sem danos para a excelência acadêmica da universidade.

A ASSOCIAÇÃO COMERCIAL E INDUSTRIAL DE JOINVILLE (SC) (ACIJ): A ELITE EMPRESARIAL E O DOMÍNIO LOCAL
Authors: Mezadri Fernando
Published: May 2022

O presente texto visa discutir algumas das teses contidas na obra A Elite do Poder (1981) de Wright Mills (1916–1962) no intuito de compreender o papel do empresariado local no desenvolvimento do município de Joinville - SC. Dividido em cinco sessões, o artigo, ancorado numa abordagem bibliográfica e descritiva produz uma construção historiográfica do desenvolvimento das elites dirigentes empresariais da cidade e sua influência nas instituições socais e políticas locais. Apoiado principalmente nas teses da obra de Wright Mills – as altas rodas e a sociedade local, conclui-se que a associação comercial e industrial configurou as forças do associativismo civil e político, trazendo para si a condição de paladino e arauto tanto das normativas morais para o trabalho e disciplina da mão de obra como na direção político-partidária do município. A obra de Mills permite elucidar o status de elite a um grupo que somente se via como industriais.

Published: May 2022

O comportamento do valor das exportações de um determinado bem é um importante indicativo das suas condições de geração divisas, de emprego, de renda e de bem-estar para o país exportador. Este estudo analisou o comportamento do valor das exportações brasileiras de lagostas. Para decompor o valor das exportações nos efeitos quantidade, preço e país de destino foi utilizado o método shift-share. As variações na quantidade exportada foram decompostas em efeito escala e efeito substituição. Constatou-se que entre 1990 e 2015 ocorreu um declínio no valor das exportações, explicado pelo efeito quantidade. A quantidade exportada caiu nos três principais países de destino, Estados Unidos, França e Japão. No entanto, o efeito substituição indica que os Estados Unidos reduziram sua participação nas importações brasileiras, sendo substituído pela França e pelo Japão.

Published: May 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é problematizar as desigualdades étnico-raciais em Joinville, Santa Catarina, via análise da constituição e trajetória de quatro clubes sociais recreativos da cidade. Vários foram os procedimentos metodológicos adotados: análise de documentos do Arquivo Histórico Municipal; participação em eventos promovidos pelos clubes e conversas com alguns frequentadores; produção e análise de duas imagens (uma que apresenta a localização geográfica dos clubes e, a outra, suas fachadas). As informações possibilitaram realizar o que compreendemos como leitura topográfica, uma ferramenta para a pesquisa em psicologia social interessada na análise crítica de relações constitutivas do espaço urbano. Como resultado da pesquisa evidencia-se o modo como a constituição e trajetória desses clubes sociais evidenciam as desigualdades étnico-raciais presentes na história da cidade, bem como o processo de (in)visibilização de memórias, saberes e dizeres. Concluímos que a localização dos clubes no território da cidade e a estrutura dos seus prédios possibilitam diferentes formas de visibilização, implicando diretamente nos modos como são conhecidas as narrativas, memórias e trajetórias dos grupos étnico-raciais representados por cada um deles.

Authors: Arovah Novita Intan , Kushartanti Wara , Ambardini Rachmah Laksmi
Published: May 2022

Introduction

The roles of yoga in improving symptoms in chronic low back pain (LBP) have been established. However, evidence of Sun Salutation yoga feasibility in subacute LBP is lacking. This feasibility study examined the adherence, safety, and potential effect size of Sun Salutation yoga in improving pain, functional disability, and quality of life among patients with subacute LBP.

Methods

Overall, 20 patients with subacute LBP (65% females, age: 35 ± 10 years) were enrolled in a 6-week Sun Salutation program. The protocol adherence and safety were self-reported by participants during weekly monitoring. Pain was assessed with visual analogue scale (VAS) and numeric rating scale (NRS), functional disability with Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Roland-Morris Questionnaire (RMQ), while quality of life with the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Pre- and post-intervention data were analysed by using the paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test per data distribution. Effect size was evaluated.

Results

All patients adhered to the study protocol and no adverse effects were reported. Pain, functional disability, and quality of life improved significantly after the intervention. Effect sizes were very large for pain (3.87 and 3.97 for VAS and NRS), functional disability (1.94 and 3.24 for ODI and RMQ), and quality of life (2.34 and 4.62 for SF-12 physical and mental composite score).

Conclusions

The adherence and safety of Sun Salutation yoga in subacute LBP patients were demonstrated, with large effect sizes for improving pain, functional disability, and quality of life. Randomized controlled trials are recommended to confirm the findings.

Planning is the first function in management as a first step before moving to the next action. Planning as a guide in the implementation of education. Educational planning is very important and urgent that must be applied to Christian educational institutions. Planning provides direction for the institution to achieve the vision. In fact, in the observed Christian educational institutions, educational planning has not been made as a necessity that should be carried out before implementing educational programs at the institution. One of the reasons is that educational planners at these institutions still do not understand the planning process comprehensively. The stages of conducting educational planning are: (1) determine the goals, (2) researching the problem to be carried out, (3) collect the necessary data and information, (4) determine a series of actions to be taken, (5) formulating ways to solve problems, (6) determine the human resources that will be involved, and (7) determine how to control and evaluate the plan. Therefore, educational planning must be used as a key factor for Christian educational institutions in determining their goals as an educational institutions that are characterized by Bible teachings as the foundation.

Published: May 2022

Mature liver organoids are promising cell sources for research to understand the pathology underlying a variety of conditions affecting the liver, including end-stage chronic liver disease. Although several methods exist for the differentiation of mature hepatic organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), organoid generation can fail due to various experimental culture conditions. Therefore, we established a standard operating protocol for generating mature and expandable hepatic organoids derived from hiPSCs, and we made the starting materials available to facilitate the wide use of the protocol.

Authors: TANRIVERDİ Raziye , GÖKOĞLU Mehmet
Published: May 2022

The study was carried out in the Mediterranean region of Turkey between 2018 and 2021. It was aimed to reveal lionfish awareness studies and lionfish venoming cases in Turkey in this study. The awareness studies were determined by institutional studies. Personal interviews, first aid agency notifications and literature were investigated to find lionfish venoming cases. Four awareness studies and seven lionfish venoming cases were detected. Pain, swelling, and redness were often the first symptoms in the venoming cases. The first application was immersion in hot water in three of the seven cases. No deaths were recorded in the cases. In Turkey, the awareness studies should continue with the derbies or tournaments and government-supported removal efforts must be made to reduce the population and stocks of invasive lionfish.
Assessment of blood and productive parameters in mid-lactation dairy cows fed different diets: replacement of corn silage with triticale silage

Published: May 2022

Abstract. Corn crops require large amounts of resources that affect the
environmental sustainability of dairy cow farming systems. The aim of the
study was thus to investigate the effects of the replacement of corn silage
(CS) with triticale silage (TS) by evaluating blood and productive
parameters. The study lasted 7 weeks and involved two groups of 20
Italian Holstein Friesian dairy cows that were homogeneous in terms of
parity (3±1.5), days in milk (DIM) (150±85.0), and daily
milk production (26±4.6 kg). Chemical analysis of feeds was carried out weekly. Dry-matter intake was
estimated daily. At the beginning and end of the trial, haematological,
metabolic, and immunological parameters were analysed. At the same, time
body weight and body condition score were measured. Milk characteristics
were also analysed weekly. Statistical analysis was performed by ANOVA on data of the second sampling, and a non-parametric test was performed to analyse BCS. Regarding the haematological parameters in the two groups, only lymphocyte
values were not in the normal range (2.86 and 2.50×109 L
for CS and TS, respectively). Metabolic parameters were in the normal range
except for blood ureic nitrogen (BUN; 13.65 and 14.04 mg dL−1), non-esterified
fatty acids (NEFAs; 21.40 and 31.93 µmol L−1), and Cl (91.99 and 93.50 mmol L−1). Hair cortisol was low (0.94 and 0.91 pg mg−1), indicating the absence of stress signs, as confirmed by the results
of other immunological parameters (serum
lysozyme (SL), bactericidal activity (SBA), haptoglobin (HP), and oxygen free radicals (OFRs)). Statistical differences were not found either for haematological or
biochemical parameters. The total replacement of CS with TS did not affect
milk yield and composition. In conclusion, the replacement of CS by TS did not give rise to significant
modifications in the parameters investigated and did not alter the health
status of the animals, thus suggesting the feasibility of its introduction
into the diet of mid-lactation dairy cows.
Kinetic study of the atmospheric oxidation of a series of epoxy compounds by OH radicals
Authors: Tovar Carmen Maria , Barnes Ian , Bejan Iustinian Gabriel , Wiesen Peter
Published: May 2022

Abstract. In this work, we study the kinetics of the gas-phase
reactions of hydroxyl radicals with cyclohexene oxide (CHO), 1,2-epoxyhexane (EHX), 1,2-epoxybutane (12EB), trans-2,3-epoxybutane (tEB) and cis-2,3-epoxybutane (cEB) using the relative rate technique. The experiments
were conducted at (298 ± 3) K and (760 ± 10) Torr ((1.01 ± 0.01) × 105 Pa) total pressure of synthetic air using different reference compounds in a 1080 L Quartz Reactor (QUAREC) and a 480 L Duran glass chamber. The following room temperature rate coefficients (cm3 molecule−1 s−1) were obtained: k1(OH+CHO)=(5.93±1.13)×10-12, k2(OH+EHX)=(5.77±0.83)×10-12, k3(OH+12EB)=(1.98±0.29)×10-12, k4(OH+cEB)=(1.50±0.28)×10-12 and k5(OH+tEB)=(1.81±0.33)×10-12. Except for previous studies on 1,2-epoxybutane
and cyclohexene oxide, this is, to the best of our knowledge, the first
kinetic study of the reaction of these compounds with OH radicals. We
discuss the discrepancies found between the values obtained from the present
study with values estimated from the structure–activity relationship method
(SAR). Our findings indicate that pseudo-ethylenic character in the epoxy
ring is an important factor to be included in the improvement of the SAR
estimation method. Atmospheric lifetimes, reactivity trends and atmospheric
implications are discussed considering the epoxy compound rate coefficients
obtained in the present study.

Abstract. The first OH and HO2 radical observation in Yangtze River Delta, one of
the four major urban agglomerations in China, was carried out at a suburban
site (Taizhou) in summer 2018 from May to June, aiming to elucidate the
atmospheric oxidation capacity in this region. The maximum diurnal averaged
OH and HO2 concentrations were 1.0×107 and
1.1×109 cm−3, respectively, which were the second
highest HOx (sum of OH and HO2) radical concentrations observed in
China. HONO photolysis was the dominant radical primary source, accounting
for 42 % of the total radical initiation rate. Other contributions were
from carbonyl photolysis (including HCHO, 24 %), O3 photolysis
(17 %), alkene ozonolysis (14 %), and NO3 oxidation (3 %). A
chemical box model based on the RACM2-LIM1 mechanism could generally reproduce
the observed HOx radicals, but systematic discrepancy remained in the
afternoon for the OH radical, when the NO mixing ratio was less than 0.3 ppb.
An additional recycling mechanism equivalent to 100 ppt NO was capable to fill
the gap. The sum of monoterpenes was on average up to 0.4 ppb during
daytime, which was all allocated to α-pinene in the base model.
A sensitivity test without monoterpene input showed the modeled OH and
HO2 concentrations would increase by 7 % and 4 %, respectively, but
modeled RO2 concentration would significantly decrease by 23 %,
indicating that monoterpene was an important precursor of RO2 radicals
in this study. Consequently, the daily integrated net ozone production would
reduce by 6.3 ppb without monoterpene input, proving the significant role
of monoterpene in the photochemical O3 production in this study.
In addition, the generally good agreement between observed and modeled HOx
concentrations suggested no significant HO2 heterogeneous uptake
process during this campaign. Incorporation of HO2 heterogeneous uptake
process would worsen the agreement between HOx radical observation and
simulation, and the discrepancy would be beyond the combined measurement–model
uncertainties using an effective uptake coefficient of 0.2.
Finally, the ozone production efficiency (OPE) was only 1.7 in this study, a
few folds lower than other studies in (sub)urban environments. The low OPE
indicated a slow radical propagation rate and short chain length. As a
consequence, ozone formation was suppressed by the low NO concentration in
this study.

Abstract. Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from permafrost-affected terrestrial
ecosystems have received little attention, largely because they have been
thought to be negligible. Recent studies, however, have shown that there are
habitats in the subarctic tundra emitting N2O at high rates, such as bare
peat (BP) surfaces on permafrost peatlands. Nevertheless, the processes behind N2O
production in these high-emission habitats are poorly understood.
In this study, we established an in situ 15N-labeling experiment with two
main objectives: (1) to partition the microbial sources of N2O emitted from BP surfaces on permafrost peatlands and (2) to study the fate of
ammonium and nitrate in these soils and in adjacent vegetated peat (VP) surfaces showing low N2O emissions. Our results confirm the hypothesis that
denitrification is mostly responsible for the high N2O emissions from
BP. During the study period, denitrification contributed ∼ 79 % of the total N2O emissions from BP, whereas the contribution from
ammonia oxidation was less (about 19 %). Both gross N mineralization and
gross nitrification rates were higher in BP than in VP, with high C/N
ratios and a low water content likely limiting N transformation
processes and, consequently, N2O production in the latter soil type. Our results show that
multiple factors contribute to high N2O production in BP surfaces
on permafrost peatlands, with the most important factors being the absence of plants, an
intermediate to high water content and a low C/N ratio, which all affect
the mineral-N availability for soil microbes, including those producing
N2O. The process understanding produced here is important for the
development of process models that can be used to evaluate future
permafrost–N feedbacks to the climate system.
Multi-platform study of the extreme bloom of the barrel jellyfish Rhizostoma pulmo (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) in the northernmost gulf of the Mediterranean Sea (Gulf of Trieste) in April 2021

Abstract. On 7 April 2021, an exceptional bloom of the scyphomedusa Rhizostoma pulmo was observed in the Gulf of Trieste (Italy). Blooms of this species in the northern Adriatic Sea have been reported since the late 1800s, however, the density of jellyfish observed in 2021 reached more than 10 specimens per square metre. In this work, we analyse the bloom from a multiplatform approach using observations and model data at different time scales. We attempt to explain the intensity of the bloom as a consequence of thermohaline and hydrodynamical conditions in the gulf. Meteo-oceanographic conditions that may have contributed to the exceptional aggregation of jellyfish observed along the northernmost coast of the Adriatic Sea are discussed in detail. Specifically, our results indicate that this bloom was enabled by 1) the presence of a high number of jellyfish in the Gulf probably linked to the anomalously warm sea conditions in spring 2020 and winter 2021 which may have favoured a longer reproductive period and enhanced survival of adult R. pulmo respectively; 2) strong wind events, such as the Bora wind for the Gulf of Trieste, which enhanced upwelling and mixing processes in the Gulf bringing the jellyfish from the deeper waters to the surface and clustering them along the coast.
Prediction error growth in a more realistic atmospheric toy model with three spatiotemporal scales
Authors: Bednář Hynek , Kantz Holger
Published: May 2022

Abstract. This article studies the growth of the prediction error over lead time in a schematic model of atmospheric transport. Inspired by the Lorenz (2005)
system, we mimic an atmospheric variable in one dimension, which can be decomposed into three spatiotemporal scales. We identify parameter values that
provide spatiotemporal scaling and chaotic behavior. Instead of exponential growth of the forecast error over time, we observe a more complex
behavior. We test a power law and the quadratic hypothesis for the scale-dependent error growth. The power law is valid for the first days of the
growth, and with an included saturation effect, we extend its validity to the entire period of growth. The theory explaining the parameters of the
power law is confirmed. Although the quadratic hypothesis cannot be completely rejected and could serve as a first guess, the hypothesis's
parameters are not theoretically justifiable in the model. In addition, we study the initial error growth for the ECMWF forecast system
(500 hPa geopotential height) over the 1986 to 2011 period. For these data, it is impossible to assess which of the error growth
descriptions is more appropriate, but the extended power law, which is theoretically substantiated and valid for the Lorenz system, provides an
excellent fit to the average initial error growth of the ECMWF forecast system. Fitting the parameters, we conclude that there is an intrinsic limit
of predictability after 22 d.

Abstract. Infiltration into water repellent soils has been widely observed, quantified and documented. The modelling of water infiltration into water repellent soils is more rarely taken into account explicitly. In this study, we modelled water infiltration into water repellent soils considering explicitly the contact angle, with the geometrical pore model proposed and validated previously. The applied microscopical approach showed good agreement with macroscopical models and with experimental data. We firstly investigated the case of contact angles lower than 90°, for the cylindrical pore and pearl necklace (PN) models. The cumulative infiltrations were numerically generated versus contact angle and for different pore radii. Then, the modelled infiltration curves were fitted to the two-terms Philip equation and parameters S and A were evaluated versus contact angle. As predicted sorptivity S decreased with increasing contact angle, and the constant infiltration rate A increased with contact angle for both models. Then, the modelled data were fitted to the numerical solution of the Richards equation to derive the equivalent hydraulic parameters assuming van Genuchten model. The results showed that the contact angle decreased the saturated hydraulic conductivity and increased the parameter α. Lastly, our model was used to investigate strong water repellency with contact angles higher than 90°. Cumulative infiltration and related Philip parameters, S and A, were evaluated versus water pressure head at surface h0 and contact angles (between 90° and 96°). Our model may be used to predict water infiltration into water repellent soils for both moderate and strong water repellency, including fingering features
COMBINING UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURE FROM MOTION PHOTOGRAMMETRY TO RECONSTRUCT THE GEOMETRY OF GROINS

Published: May 2022

Abstract. In the context of coastal environment, the combined use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) with Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry has been demonstrated to be a suitable tool to collect accurate geoinformation. This work aims at investigating the effectiveness of UAS survey to accurately map the geometry of rouble mound groins for monitoring the structural integrity. A set of nadiral images was processed through SfM photogrammetry to obtain the Digital Surface Model (DSM) of the groin. The DSM accuracy was evaluated through the comparison of five profiles measured by the traditional GNSS technique. Overall, vertical accuracy returned a root mean square error of 2.6 cm. The results suggest that UAS combined with SfM photogrammetry can improve the current monitoring of coastal engineering structures by providing high accurate geospatial products.
SOIL EROSION CALCULATION USING AERIAL IMAGES BASED DTM IN A CROSS BORDER VINERY REGION
Authors: Kemper H. , Kemper G. , Klaumuenzner T.
Published: May 2022

Abstract. This paper shows the effect of different terrain models extracted out of nadir and oblique aerial surveyed data and the processing to DTM with respect to soil erosion risk evaluation. A cross border area between Germany and France, close to the city of Wissembourg, was affected by soil-erosion several times in the past. Vineyards aligned with the slope improve the risk for soil erosion. Applying the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) in GIS-environment highlights areas of higher or lower risk in order to assist in strategies for a better the soil loss prevention. The lack of sufficient soil data limits the spatial resolution of the study and details given are mainly provided through the very dense terrain model. Nevertheless, terrain is one of the major factors defined in the slope angle and slope length.
3D MODELLING OF TRAM TUNNEL FROM TLS POINT CLOUDS FOR TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION AND EXTRACTION OF CHARACTERISTIC LINES

Published: May 2022

Abstract. The Strasbourg tramway has only one tunnel 1400 m long built in 1994. It grants the operation of two lines of the transportation network. It also houses the only underground station "Gare centrale" and is the only tunnel operated by the CTS (Compagnie des Transports Strasbourgeois). Due to new guidelines for georeferencing of underground networks, the CTS had to know the precise planimetric and altimetric position of the tunnel, considered as a sensitive network located in urban areas. The regulations also set the criteria for precision which for this specific case requires an accuracy of less than 40 cm. This project on behalf of and in partnership with the CTS therefore aims to set up a method allowing the 3D survey of the tunnel considering the specific constraints of urban transport networks and then to propose different 2D or 3D deliverables allowing the management of the tunnel. Initially, the project focused on extracting the shape of the tunnel characteristic lines, which corresponds to the line tangent to the points of higher altitude and the extreme points of each cross-section, along the axis of the tunnel. In a second step, a 2D plan containing all the technical elements present in the tunnel was realized, as well as a 3D modelling of a significative part of the infrastructure. A video was also derived from the point cloud to inspect the entire tunnel from different points of views. In the future, more advanced 3D models or BIM models could be considered. This would require information on the structure of the walls, the construction materials, or the links between the different elements. A project to survey and model the underground station will make it possible in the future to perfect the acquisition and knowledge of the underground infrastructures belonging to the transport company.
