Regeneration of Girdling Roots After Removal
Authors: Watson Gary , Clark Sandra
Published: May 2022

Removal of girdling roots as an early corrective treatment on young Norway maple (,Acerplatanoides) trees was not effective. Roots reformed frorrHhe wound site. There were often multiple roots where a single girdling root had been removed, creating potential for even more extensive girdling. The best hope for eliminating girdling root problems may be to develop root stock from trees without girdjingvroots.
Development of the Steel Rod Technique for the Assessment of Aeration in Urban Soils
Authors: Hodge S.J. , Boswell R. , Knott K.
Published: May 2022

Diagnosis of poor performance in urban trees requires means of evaluating soil aeration. A technique using 60 cm long steel rods inserted into the ground has been developed into an effective and practical means of assessing the vertical and spatial distribution of soil aeration in urban soils; even those covered by hard surfaces. A laboratory study verified the interpretation of the four types of corrosion found on steel rods with respect to soil aeration, although the presence of uncorroded metal could not be clearly related to suitability for root growth. A field study indicated that the best numerical reflections of soil aeration are the total presence of corrosion types indicative of inhospitable soil conditions, and the contrast between inhospitable conditions in the top 30 cm and the bottom 30 cm of the rod.
Relating Gust Speed to Tree Damage in Hurricane Hugo, 1989
Authors: Francis John , Gillespie Andrew
Published: May 2022

From 17 through 19 September 1989 Hurricane Hugo passed through the Antilles from Guadalupe to Puerto Rico, causing severe damage to ornamental and shade trees. Damage to 1226 trees of 81 species on 18 urban and rural sites was related to maximum wind gust speeds. Damage (defoliation, minor branch breakage, major branch breakage, trunk snap, and tipping) began at gust speeds of about 60 km/hr, increased rapidly with gust speeds to about 130 km/hr, and although highly variable, did not worsen at higher gust speeds. The most severe forms of damage are apparently avoided if the crown surface area is reduced quickly by loss of leaves and twigs. Palms were more wind resistant than broadleaved trees.

La Función de la Vergüenza en la Teoría Lacaniana de los Cuatro Discursos
Authors: Danelinck Daniela
Published: May 2022

El objetivo del presente trabajo es comprender por qué Jacques Lacan colocó un afecto como la vergüenza en el corazón de su teoría de los cuatro discursos, que es una teoría puramente formal del lazo social. Considerando que la época actual se empecina en negar o denigrar a la vergüenza como un afecto puramente negativo, e incluso como un afecto obsoleto que tendería a desaparecer en las modernas democracias capitalistas, el presente trabajo propone repetir el gesto de la académica australiana Elspeth Probyn en Blush: Faces of Shame, y decir que “algo en la vergüenza es terriblemente importante”. Dividido en tres partes, la primera argumenta que allí donde nuestra sociedad contemporánea invoca abiertamente a la vergüenza, como por ejemplo en los escándalos políticos y sexuales, es siempre una noción imaginaria lo que está en juego: vergüenza espectacular. En un segundo momento se avanza hacia un abordaje diferente de la vergüenza, considerada en el marco de la teoría lacaniana de los cuatro discursos como afecto privilegiado del lazo social: vergüenza de vivir. La tercera y última parte se concentra en el seminario 17 de Lacan para interrogarlo únicamente en relación a la vergüenza, desde el punto de vista de sus últimas palabras: “Si hay para su presencia aquí, tan numerosa, razones poco menos que innobles (…) es porque no demasiado pero sí justo lo suficiente llego a darles vergüenza”. Se propone una conceptualización ad-hoc de la vergüenza en la clase final del seminario como ese afecto privilegiado que revela, para esos seres vivos que hablan, una existencia demediada al interior de un discurso.

Authors:   Instituto Superior de Ciencias de Saude, Maputo, Mocambique, Di Napole Pastore Marina ,   UFSCar - Universidade Federal de São Carlos, Brasil
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Recent studies on children and childhood on the world stage have pointed to an understanding of children as sociocultural beings and active agents in the productions of the world around them, allowing for the rereading of worlds and actions from sociocultural perspectives, especially with respect to play. This paper presents longitudinal research conducted in Mozambique with children from three to fifteen years of age, in which a discussion about playing and its relationship with occupational therapy is presented. Objective: The goal of this study was to understand playing as a significant activity of children, as well as understanding the role of occupational therapists as researchers. Material and Methods: We utilized ethnography with field research in Mozambique in the communities of Matola A, Mabotine and Nhandlovo between 2014 and 2018. Results: The data collected and analysed in this study involved children playing and building toys from disuse material (discard), playing and its relationship with nature and landscapes, images of play and the use of photography. The results point to a kaleidoscope of diversity and languages used by children in play, which is understood as a way of being both in the world and from their space-time relationships. Conclusion: This research contributes to studies of children and childhood in occupational therapy, covering children in their lifestyles and historical contexts, and expands the possibilities of actions and research in sociocultural contexts and perspectives.

Clinical Effectiveness of Second-Generation Injectable Antipsychotics
Authors: Darvesh Nazia , MacDougall Danielle , Mahood Quenby
Published: May 2022

The evidence in this report is limited because statistical information was not adequately reported in included studies.

When comparing second-generation paliperidone palmitate injections and first-generation haloperidol decanoate injections, there is little-to-no difference in treatment success or adverse events.

When comparing second-generation risperidone injections and first-generation haloperidol decanoate and fluphenazine decanoate injections given together, there is little-to-no difference in whether patients discontinue treatment.

Hospitalization appears higher for patients who receive haloperidol decanoate injections compared to those who receive second-generation risperidone or aripiprazole injections, but there is little-to-no difference when comparing injections of risperidone to those of haloperidol decanoate and fluphenazine decanoate given together.

There is little-to-no difference between patients who stop treatment when comparing risperidone injections to any oral second-generation antipsychotics, second-generation olanzapine injections compared to oral olanzapine, or aripiprazole injections compared to oral aripiprazole. There is little-to-no difference in adverse events between patients given aripiprazole injections compared to those given oral aripiprazole.

Some studies showed a difference in relapse between second-generation injections compared to oral second-generation medication, while other studies showed little-to-no differences.

Patients may experience fewer hospital days when given olanzapine injections compared to those receiving oral olanzapine.

Authors: Tufan Ismail , Basibuyuk Gulusan Ozgun , Kilavuz Asli
Published: May 2022

Religiosity and religious activity increase with age. On the other hand, it is less known whether religiosity is related to satisfaction and physical and psychological health status. Associated variables with being religious in old age are aimed to examine in this empirical research held in Turkey among the older adults over the age of 60. Religious practices of the older adults (N=150) such as attending to the mosque, practicing daily prayers, and praying (often, rarely never) were compared with respect to their physical and psychological health, life satisfaction, self-serenity, and fear of death. According to Chi-square results, participants who rated both physical and psychological health status as good, the number of participants performing often praying was higher than the number of people who were rarely praying or did not ever praying. For people who rated their both life satisfaction and self-serenity as “good”, the number of participants visiting a mosque often was higher than the number of people who were rarely visiting or did not ever visiting. Also, for people who describe their fear of death as “never”, the number of participants never performing daily prayers was lower than the number of people who often prayers and rarely prayers. Results revealed the possible association between physical/psychological health outcomes and religious participation.

Assisted living memory care (ALMC) residents present with specific needs and challenges. Knowledge regarding their nutritional intake and the relationship to cognitive ability, demographics, and dining behaviors is limited. This quality improvement project was conducted to determine the dietary intake of ALMC residents and identify factors related to the adequacy of their dietary intake to inform the development of strategies to enhance their dietary intake. Ingested food and fluids and ingestion behaviors were recorded over a 12-hour (7 AM -7 PM) observation. Related factors examined were obtained from chart review. Food Processor Nutritional Analysis Software was used to determine nutrient intake with the calculation of percent of recommended amounts based on BMI, age, and activity level. Thirty-two residents (75% females; mean age 86.5 years, SD=7.84) of four ALMC units (eight per unit) were subjects of this study. Their Global Deterioration Scores ranged from 3 to 7, with 60% at 5 or greater. Average BMI was 25.47 kg/m2 (range 14.1-40.4 kg/m2). Major dietary components (protein, calories, carbohydrates) were consumed in adequate amounts based on the percent of recommended. The percent of recommended fiber intake was low (mean 61.57%) with saturated fat intake extremely high (mean 243.80%). Micronutrients were below recommended levels except for cholesterol, vitamin C, sodium, and iron. Four subject groups, relative to level (inadequate, moderately inadequate, adequate, exceeds recommended) of nutritional intake, were identified based on hierarchical clustering with all nutrient data. Using protein intake as a representative nutrient variable, regression analysis indicated that 44.1% of the variance was explained by cognitive ability and setting after adjusting for their interaction. A balance of adequate intake while allowing ALMC residents’ choice in food selection is essential. Further research is needed to address dining standards specific to the ALMC population that recognizes cognitive ability, food offerings, and dining behaviors.
Observatórios no Império e as Práticas de Astronomia dos alunos da Escola Militar

Resumo. Determinar a posição de um ponto sobre a superfície da Terra envolve o uso de métodos da astronomia esférica conjugados com observações de fenômenos astronômicos específicos. Estas determinações são vitais para as áreas de Cartografia e Náutica. Os alunos da Escola Militar tinham que aprender tanto os elementos da teoria quanto a prática de observação. Pretende-se mostrar as condições em que se deu este aprendizado durante o Império. Ao longo dos 78 anos desde a sua criação em 1810, a Escola Militar passou por 11 reformas de estatutos que alteraram o currículo mexendo na sua estrutura e duração dos seus cursos. Após cada reforma, buscou-se a existência da cadeira de astronomia e de um observatório de apoio às aulas, dando especial atenção às condições de fundação do Imperial Observatório do Rio de Janeiro. Os resultados mostraram que, até cerca da metade do século, os alunos da Escola Militar não tiveram aulas práticas. A fundação do Observatório da Escola Politécnica em 1881 abriu uma nova era, permitindo reunir alunos das três escolas para que todos tivessem práticas de observação.

Abstract. We estimated geometric plume heights for the daytime eruptions of La Soufrière in April 2021 using visible red band geostationary side views and geostationary–polar orbiter stereo views. Most of the plumes either spread near the tropopause at 16–17 km altitude or penetrated the stratosphere at 18–20 km altitude. Overshooting tops reached heights up to 23 km. These geometric heights were compared with radiometric heights corresponding to the coldest plume temperature, which usually represent ambiguous estimates within a wide range between a tropospheric and stratospheric height match. The tropospheric lower bound of the radiometric height range always underestimated the geometric height by a couple of kilometers, even for smaller plumes. For plumes near or above the tropopause, the midpoint or the stratospheric upper bound of the radiometric height range was in reasonable agreement with the geometric heights. The geometric overshooting top height, however, was always above the radiometric height range. We also found that geometric plume heights can be estimated from infrared band side views too, albeit with increased uncertainty compared to the visible red band. This opens the possibility for applying the side view method to night time eruptions.

Abstract. The emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have increased significantly in the past 2 decades, primarily as a result of the phaseout of ozone-depleting substances under the Montreal Protocol and the use of HFCs as their replacements. In 2015, large increases were projected in HFC use and emissions in this century in the absence of regulations, contributing up to 0.5 ∘C to global surface warming by 2100. In 2019, the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol came into force with the goal of limiting the use of HFCs globally, and currently, regulations to limit the use of HFCs are in effect in several countries. Here, we analyze trends in HFC emissions inferred from observations of atmospheric abundances and compare them with previous projections. Total CO2 eq. inferred HFC emissions continue to increase through 2019 (to about 0.8 GtCO2eq.yr-1) but are about 20 % lower than previously projected for 2017–2019, mainly because of the lower global emissions
of HFC-143a. This indicates that HFCs are used much less in industrial and commercial refrigeration (ICR) applications than previously projected. This is supported by data reported by the developed countries and the lower reported consumption of HFC-143a in China. Because this time period preceded the beginning of the Kigali provisions, this reduction cannot be linked directly to the provisions of the Kigali Amendment. However, it could indicate that companies transitioned away from the HFC-143a with its high global warming potential (GWP) for ICR applications in anticipation of national or global mandates. There are two new HFC scenarios developed based (1) on current trends in HFC use and Kigali-independent (K-I) control policies currently existing in several countries and (2) current HFC trends and compliance with the Kigali Amendment (KA-2022). These current policies reduce projected emissions in 2050 from the previously calculated 4.0–5.3 GtCO2eq.yr-1 to 1.9–3.6 GtCO2eq.yr-1. The added provisions of the Kigali Amendment are projected to
reduce the emissions further to 0.9–1.0 GtCO2eq.yr-1 in 2050. Without any controls, projections suggest a HFC contribution of
0.28–0.44 ∘C to global surface warming by 2100, compared to a temperature contribution of 0.14–0.31 ∘C that is projected
considering the national K-I policies current in place. Warming from HFCs is additionally limited by the Kigali Amendment controls to a contribution of about 0.04 ∘C by 2100.
Molecular-level nucleation mechanism of iodic acid and methanesulfonic acid
Authors: Ning An , Liu Ling , Ji Lin , Zhang Xiuhui
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Both iodic acid (HIO3, IA) and methanesulfonic acid
(CH3S(O)2OH, MSA) have been identified by field studies as
important precursors of new particle formation (NPF) in marine areas.
However, the mechanism of NPF in which IA and MSA are jointly involved is
still unclear. Hence, we investigated the IA-MSA nucleation system under
different atmospheric conditions and uncovered the corresponding nucleating
mechanism at the molecular level for the first time, using a quantum chemical
approach and Atmospheric Cluster Dynamics Code (ACDC). The findings show
that the pure-IA nucleation rate was much lower than the results of CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets) experiments. MSA can promote IA cluster formation through stabilizing IA via
both hydrogen and halogen bonds, especially under conditions with lower
temperatures, sparse IA, and rich MSA. However, the nucleation rate of the
IA-MSA mechanism is much lower than that of field observations, indicating
that the effect of additional nucleation precursors needs to be considered
(e.g., H2SO4, HIO2, NH3, and amines). The IA-MSA
nucleation mechanism revealed in this study may help to gain insight into
the joint effect of marine sulfur- and iodine-containing components on
marine NPF.
Refining an ensemble of volcanic ash forecasts using satellite retrievals: Raikoke 2019

Abstract. Volcanic ash advisories are produced by specialised forecasters
who combine several sources of observational data and volcanic ash
dispersion model outputs based on their subjective expertise. These
advisories are used by the aviation industry to make decisions about where
it is safe to fly. However, both observations and dispersion model
simulations are subject to various sources of uncertainties that are not
represented in operational forecasts. Quantification and communication of
these uncertainties are fundamental for making more informed decisions.
Here, we develop a data assimilation method that combines satellite
retrievals and volcanic ash transport and dispersion model (VATDM) output,
considering uncertainties in both data sources. The methodology is applied
to a case study of the 2019 Raikoke eruption. To represent uncertainty in
the VATDM output, 1000 simulations are performed by simultaneously
perturbing the eruption source parameters, meteorology, and internal model
parameters (known as the prior ensemble). The ensemble members are filtered,
based on their level of agreement with the ash column loading, and their
uncertainty, of the Himawari–8 satellite retrievals, to produce a
constrained posterior ensemble. For the Raikoke eruption, filtering the
ensemble skews the values of mass eruption rate towards the lower values
within the wider parameters ranges initially used in the prior ensemble
(mean reduces from 1 to 0.1 Tg h−1). Furthermore, including
satellite observations from subsequent times increasingly constrains the
posterior ensemble. These results suggest that the prior ensemble leads to
an overestimate of both the magnitude and uncertainty in ash column
loadings. Based on the prior ensemble, flight operations would have been
severely disrupted over the Pacific Ocean. Using the constrained posterior
ensemble, the regions where the risk is overestimated are reduced,
potentially resulting in fewer flight disruptions. The data assimilation
methodology developed in this paper is easily generalisable to other short
duration eruptions and to other VATDMs and retrievals of ash from other
satellites.
