Abstract. Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy has been widely applied to fieldwork measurements of OH radicals, and of HO2, following conversion to OH, over a wide variety of conditions, on different platforms, and in simulation chambers. Conventional calibration of HOx (OH + HO2) instruments has mainly relied on a single method, generating known concentrations of HOx from H2O vapour photolysis in a flow of zero air impinging just outside the sample inlet (SHOx = CHOx.[HOx], where SHOx is the observed signal and CHOx is the calibration factor). The FAGE (Fluorescence Assay by Gaseous Expansion) apparatus designed for HOx measurements in the Highly Instrumented Reactor for Atmospheric Chemistry (HIRAC) at the University of Leeds has been used to examine the sensitivity of FAGE to external gas temperatures (266 – 348 K). The conventional calibration methods give the temperature dependence of COH (relative to the value at 293 K) of (0.0059 ± 0.0015) K-1 and CHO2 of (0.014 ± 0.013) K-1. Errors are 2σ. COH was also determined by observing the decay of hydrocarbons (typically cyclohexane) caused by OH reactions giving COH (again, relative to the value at 293 K) of (0.0038 ± 0.0007) K-1. Additionally, CHO2 was determined based on the second order kinetics of HO2 recombination with the temperature dependence of CHO2, relative to 293 K being (0.0064 ± 0.0034) K-1. The temperature dependence of CHOx depends on HOx number density, quenching, relative population of the probed OH rotational level and HOx transmission from inlet to detection axis. The first three terms can be calculated and, in combination with the measured values of CHOx, show that HOx transmission increases with temperature. Comparisons with other instruments and the implications of this work are discussed.

Abstract. Since non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) include numerous species of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), they are the only indicators that can characterize the total amount of VOCs in ambient air. More than 90 % of NMHC instruments in the market use the indirect method for NMHC determination, utilizing a gas chromatograph to determine the concentrations of total hydrocarbons (THCs) and methane in air. However, we found indirect NMHC measurements incorrectly characterized the low NMHC concentrations in the urban air. These measurements were hindered by the uncertain changes in the errors associated with low THC concentrations, humidity, and macroscopic substances (oxygen) in the atmosphere. In this study, we conducted intercomparisons between 10 instruments in the market using different operation principles; among these, two used the direct method and eight used the indirect method. For the indirect method, experiments showed that when the NMHC concentration was 50 ppbC, the errors in the measurement results were 32 % (CH4) and 98 % (THC) when compared to theoretical values. The oxygen content in the sample gas directly affected the response of the THC. The effect of increased oxygen content on the analysis of oxygen-containing substances was more significant than that of the increase in hydrocarbon substances. The response of dry zero was blank, and the response value increased non-linearly with relative humidity (RH). RH had a great impact on low NMHC concentrations of nearly 50 %. For the direct method, although various flow designs were applied for different instruments, the results indicated that they generally showed lower interference and higher accuracy for the ambient NMHC measurements. With the online direct methods, we obtained more reliable data and characteristics for low-concentration NMHCs in downtown Shanghai. The median of hourly data was 163.1 ppbC, and the highest ratio of the maximum and minimum concentrations of NMHCs reached 9.56 in a single day.

Published: June 2023

Abstract. Cyclones are expected to increase the vertical transport of sea salt aerosols (SSAs), which may significantly impact the climate by increasing the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN)/cloud droplets (Nd) population, hence changing the radiation reflected back to space. In this study, high temporal resolution (1 h) aerosol composition measurements were performed during a survey in the southern hemisphere middle and high latitudes during the period 23 February 2018 to 4 March 2018. The characteristics of sea salt aerosols (SSA) during three cyclones were observed during the survey. The level of SSA increased very little with increasing wind speed during the cyclones, which is quite different from the expected case that wind speed will increase SSA concentration. However, the size of sea salt aerosol particles during the cyclones were larger than during the no-cyclone periods. It seems that the generation of sea salt aerosols is enhanced during cyclones, but the SSA concentration near the sea surface does not increase. Calculations suggest that more than 23 % of SSAs can be transported upward during a cyclone period which can result in considerable quantities of SSAs being transported to high altitudes. The upward transport also lowers the level of SSAs in the lower atmosphere. Additionally, the transport of SSAs to the high atmosphere during cyclones increases the CCN burden in the marine boundary layer. This study extends the knowledge of SSA generation and transport during cyclones, which has implications to climate change.
LandInG 1.0: a toolbox to derive input datasets for terrestrial ecosystem modelling at variable resolutions from heterogeneous sources
Authors: Ostberg Sebastian , Müller Christoph , Heinke Jens , Schaphoff Sibyll
Published: June 2023

Abstract. We present the Land Input Generator (LandInG) version 1.0, a new toolbox for generating input datasets for terrestrial ecosystem models (TEMs) from diverse and partially conflicting data sources. While LandInG 1.0 is applicable to process data for any TEM, it is developed specifically for the open-source dynamic global vegetation, hydrology, and crop growth model LPJmL (Lund–Potsdam–Jena with managed Land). The toolbox documents the sources and processing of data to model inputs and allows for easy changes to the spatial resolution. It is designed to make inconsistencies between different sources of data transparent so that users can make their own decisions on how to resolve these should they not be content with the default assumptions made here. As an example, we use the toolbox to create input datasets at 5 and
30 arcmin spatial resolution covering land, country, and region masks, soil, river networks, freshwater reservoirs, irrigation water distribution networks, crop-specific annual land use, fertilizer, and manure application. We focus on the toolbox describing the data processing rather than only publishing the datasets as users may want to make different choices for reconciling inconsistencies, aggregation, spatial extent, or similar. Also, new data sources or new versions of existing data become available continuously, and the toolbox approach allows for incorporating new data to stay up to date.

Published: June 2023

Abstract. Biogeochemical (BGC) models are widely used in ocean simulations for a range of applications, but typically include parameters that are determined based on a combination of empiricism and convention. Here, we describe and demonstrate an optimization-based parameter estimation method for ocean BGC models with large numbers of uncertain parameters. Our computationally efficient method combines the respective benefits of global and local optimization techniques and enables simultaneous parameter estimation at multiple ocean locations using multiple state variables. We demonstrate the method for a 17-state-variable BGC model with 51 uncertain parameters, where a one-dimensional physical model is used to represent vertical mixing. We perform a twin-simulation experiment to test the accuracy of the method in recovering known parameters. We then use the method to simultaneously match multi-variable observational data collected at sites in the subtropical North Atlantic and Pacific. We examine the effects of different objective functions, increasing levels of data sparsity, and the choice of state variables used during the optimization. We end with a discussion of how the method can be applied to other BGC models, ocean locations, and mixing representations.
Universal Differential Equations for glacier ice flow modelling

Published: June 2023

Abstract. Geoscientific models are facing increasing challenges to exploit growing datasets coming from remote sensing. Universal Differential Equations (UDEs), aided by differentiable programming, provide a new scientific modelling paradigm enabling both complex functional inversions to potentially discover new physical laws and data assimilation from heterogeneous and sparse observations. We demonstrate an application of UDEs as a proof of concept to learn the creep component of ice flow, i.e. a nonlinear diffusivity differential equation, of a glacier evolution model. By combining a mechanistic model based on a 2D Shallow Ice Approximation Partial Differential Equation with an embedded neural network, i.e. a UDE, we can learn parts of an equation as nonlinear functions that then can be translated into mathematical expressions. We implemented this modelling framework as ODINN.jl, a package in the Julia programming language, providing high performance, source-to-source automatic differentiation (AD) and seamless integration with tools and global datasets from the Open Global Glacier Model in Python. We demonstrate this concept for 17 different glaciers around the world, for which we successfully recover a prescribed artificial law describing ice creep variability by solving ca 500,000 Ordinary Differential Equations in parallel. Furthermore, we investigate which are the best tools in the scientific machine learning ecosystem in Julia to differentiate and optimize large nonlinear diffusivity UDEs. This study represents a proof of concept for a new modelling framework aiming at discovering empirical laws for large-scale glacier processes, such as the variability of ice creep and basal sliding for ice flow, and new hybrid surface mass balance models.
Intelligent vehicle obstacle avoidance path-tracking control based on adaptive model predictive control
Authors: Miao Baorui , Han Chao
Published: June 2023

Abstract. In order to solve the problems of low path-tracking accuracy, poor safety, and stability of intelligent vehicles with variable speeds and obstacles on the road, a double-layer adaptive model predictive controller (MPC) is
designed. A vehicle point mass model is used in an obstacle avoidance planning controller, and the safety collision distance model is established according to the distance relationship between the vehicle and the obstacle to improve the driving safety of the vehicle. The design of the path-tracking controller is based on the three-degrees-of-freedom dynamics model. According to
the relationship between the predictive horizon and vehicle speed in the MPC algorithm, an adaptive path-tracking control strategy which can update the prediction horizon in real time is proposed to improve the accuracy of vehicle path tracking. To increase the vehicle stability, a sideslip angle and an acceleration control variable are added to the vehicle
dynamics model as soft constraint conditions. The proposed method is simulated based on a CarSim and MATLAB/Simulink co-simulation platform. The simulation results show that the maximum lateral path deviation and the
maximum centroid sideslip angle of the designed controller are 0.13 m and
0.4∘, respectively. Compared with the traditional MPC, the adaptive MPC maximum lateral path deviation
and the maximum centroid sideslip angle are reduced by 0.51 m and
1.57∘, respectively, which proves the effectiveness of the
proposed method.

Abstract. Warming of the Arctic due to climate change means the
Arctic Ocean is now free from ice for longer, as sea ice melts earlier and
refreezes later. Yet, it remains unclear how this extended ice-free period
will impact carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes due to scarcity of surface
ocean CO2 measurements. Baseline measurements are urgently needed to
understand spatial and temporal air–sea CO2 flux variability in the
changing Arctic Ocean. There is also uncertainty as to whether the previous
basin-wide surveys are representative of the many smaller bays and inlets
that make up the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA). By using a research
vessel that is based in the remote Inuit community of Ikaluqtuutiak
(Cambridge Bay, Nunavut), we have been able to reliably survey pCO2
shortly after ice melt and access previously unsampled bays and inlets in
the nearby region. Here we present 4 years of consecutive summertime
pCO2 measurements collected in the Kitikmeot Sea in the southern CAA.
Overall, we found that this region is a sink for atmospheric CO2 in
August (average of all calculated fluxes over the four cruises was −4.64 mmol m−2 d−1), but the magnitude of this sink varies substantially
between years and locations (average calculated fluxes of +3.58, −2.96,
−16.79 and −0.57 mmol m−2 d−1 during the 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019
cruises, respectively). Surface ocean pCO2 varied by up to 156 µatm
between years, highlighting the importance of repeat observations in this
region, as this high interannual variability would not have been captured by
sparse and infrequent measurements. We find that the surface ocean
pCO2 value at the time of ice melt is extremely important in
constraining the magnitude of the air–sea CO2 flux throughout the
ice-free season. However, further constraining the air–sea CO2 flux
in the Kitikmeot Sea will require a better understanding of how pCO2
changes outside of the summer season. Surface ocean pCO2 measurements
made in small bays and inlets of the Kitikmeot Sea were ∼ 20–40 µatm lower than in the main channels. Surface ocean pCO2
measurements made close in time to ice breakup (i.e. within 2 weeks) were
∼ 50 µatm lower than measurements made > 4
weeks after breakup. As previous basin-wide surveys of the CAA have focused
on the deep shipping channels and rarely measure close to the ice breakup
date, we hypothesize that there may be an observational bias in previous
studies, leading to an underestimate of the CO2 sink in the CAA. These
high-resolution measurements constitute an important new baseline for
gaining a better understanding of the role this region plays in the uptake
of atmospheric CO2.

Published: June 2023

La innovación es un tema que ha atraído el interés académico desde el siglo pasado. Actualmente, muy pocas empresas y/o empleados no saben lo que significa innovación. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar los determinantes del desempeño de las empresas del interior del Perú mediante el método de aprendizaje automático Lasso. Se demostró la robustez del modelo, pues este cumple con los supuestos requeridos de un modelo LOGIT y a la vez está libre de sesgos de decisión. Se encontró que tanto la gestión de innovación como la innovación interna tuvieron un impacto significativo y positivo en el desempeño; sin embargo, la propiedad intelectual tuvo una relación inversa con el performance. En ese sentido, es probable que los empresarios hayan internalizado la importancia de establecer una cultura de la innovación, así como el manejo de su tecnología. No obstante, es probable que no valoren la inversión en propiedad intelectual dado la idiosincrasia del país.

La valoración económica de los servicios ecosistémicos resulta clave en una época caracterizada por la aceleración del deterioro ambiental ligado al crecimiento económico. Pero aún no existe consenso acerca de los métodos más adecuados, por lo que las propuestas surgidas desde la economía difieren sustancialmente de las provenientes de las ciencias naturales. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un avance en una posible integración disciplinar basado en la revisión de las publicaciones en esta área; para tal fin se recurrió al algoritmo Tree of Science (ToS) para compilar y analizar la información obtenida en las bases de datos Web of Science y Scopus. Se obtuvieron 1922 registros consolidados, los cuales permitieron identificar que el año 2017, es el que tiene la mayor cantidad de fuentes. La mayor parte de las investigaciones se generan en pocos países, siendo los países latinoamericanos los más escasos. En conclusión, los trabajos seminales en este tema propenden por una valoración de los servicios económicos, ecológicos y sociales de los ecosistemas, a diferencia de los métodos tradicionales en economía que privilegian los servicios de tipo económico; sin embargo, tales investigaciones apuntan a mantener la valoración en términos monetarios a la manera como se hace en economía. La revisión realizada evidencia la necesidad de hacer investigaciones sobre valoración de SE en Latinoamérica, dadas las peculiaridades ecológicas, económicas y sociales que caracterizan a la región.

Published: June 2023

Digitisation has been the most debated topic in the corporate world over the last few decades, with many people wondering how it may be used to improve performance. This study discovers the connection between digitisation and monetary (financial) performance by categorising digitisation into three parts: adoption pace, adoption scope, and overall company digital orientation of 36 banks listed in PSX. Financial performance is calculated by Return on asset and return on equity. Moreover, the social media arena has evolved into a prevalent position for communication, networking, and information exchange. Many banks use these platforms to find marketing and commercial possibilities. In order to investigate Pakistani banks listed on the stock exchange of Pakistan, Stata software is employed. Despite the lack of statistical significance, the study discovers counterintuitive digitalisation trends that may damage Pakistan banks, depending on the digital channels employed. This has a variety of consequences for practitioners as well as prospects for future study. It also identifies alternative digitisation solutions for the financial sector.

#MeToo Pinter and David Mamet’s Oleanna
Authors: Saunders Graham
Published: June 2023

While reviews of David Mamet’s last stage play Bitter Wheat (2019) have dismissed it as a misjudged reaction, both to the Harvey Weinstein and #MeToo movement, when it premiered in London, his earlier play Oleanna (1992) had a more profound effect on debates around sexual politics in the early 1990s. This article looks at Harold Pinter’s direction of the 1993 London premiere of Oleanna. Drawing closely on archival materials from the David Mamet, Harold Pinter, and Royal Court archives, discussion will focus on Pinter’s use of Mamet’s rejected original ending that gives the character of Carol greater agency. Given Pinter’s insistence that Carol’s accusations of rape against her tutor have absolute legitimacy, the article also argues that this attitude offers a reassessment on how issues of sexual consent and assault can be interpreted in his own drama, especially when—as like Mamet—Pinter has been periodically criticized for misogynism.

Published: June 2023

Background: Thyroid nodules are nodules which commonly arise within an otherwise normal thyroid gland. A comprehensive history & physicals examination provides the foundations for decisions making in the managements of thyroids nodule. Endoscopic thyroidectomy is a newer technique and it is not accepted as a routine operation for thyroid diseases. With rising female gender, age, anemia & history of thyroid therapy, the possibility of thyroid nodules is greater. Objective: To compare the outcome of endoscopic lobectomy versus open lobectomy for benign diseases of thyroid gland Methodology: Randomized control trial was conducted in which after meeting the inclusion criteria 60 patients were participated in this study. Then patients were divided into two groups. One group is treated with endoscopic lobectomy technique and other with open lobectomy technique. During surgery, operative time was noted and then hospital stay was noted. Results: The’ patients average age was 28.68± 10.38 year, patients with endoscopic lobectomy procedures the mean surgery duration of patients was 101.60±24.16 minutes whereas among patients with open lobectomy surgical procedures the patients mean of surgery duration was 120.43±38.18 minutes (p-value=<0.05), similar finding observed in terms of hospital stay. Practical Implications: This will help in the early and prompt management of the thyroid swellings without causing any cosmetic effect and thus time saving and more efficient procedure would be endoscopic reresection of thyroid gland. Conclusion: The endoscopic lobectomy showed significantly better outcome than to open lobectomy for management of benign diseases of thyroid gland Keywords: Thyroid Gland, Benign, Endoscopy, Lobectomy, Pakistan

This type of research is normative research. (legal research), namely placing law into a system of norms. This research uses a statutory approach (statute approach) and an analytical approach (analitycal approach). The authority of the district court in deciding disputes over the general election process that occurred as a result of the failure of political parties participating in the election with the KPU is beyond the competence of the general court and claims cannot be accepted. The election law regulates three matters relating to election dispute resolution: first, settlement Election process disputes are conducted through the election supervisory body (Bawaslu). Second, the settlement of election disputes is carried out by legal means through the State Administrative Court (PTUN) because every decision issued by the KPU is a State Administrative decision. Third, the settlement of disputes over the results of general elections is carried out through the Constitutional Court as regulated by the 1945 Constitution.

Adherence to the pharmacological treatment of Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) depends on factors associated with the patient and the public health system, and inadequate blood pressure levels are associated with the aggravation of diseases and other complications. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the factors associated with adherence to pharmacological treatment by hypertensive patients in the city of Montes Claros-MG. This is a cross-sectional and quantitative study with hypertensive individuals enrolled in Family Health Strategies (ESF) in the city of Montes Claros-MG. Data collection was performed using the Morisky-Green Test (TMG) and a sociodemographic form prepared by the researchers. The data obtained were tabulated in software, considering a statistical significance level above 95% (p<0.05). About 38% of patients without complete secondary education showed high adherence, while for those with complete secondary education, this value drops to 12.5%. In addition, 80% of the participants who used more than 2 antihypertensive drugs showed a medium-low adherence to hypertensive therapy.

Spotlight Profile is a contemporary personality profiling tool developed in elite sport that focuses on fostering adaptability. It has been increasingly deployed by sport psychology consultants in sport and other organizational settings, yet how end-users perceive the tool’s use to benefit their performance is not yet known. Using semi-structured interviews, we explored the experiences of 16 individuals who have engaged with Spotlight Profile as part of a performance-based intervention across elite sport and a series of other domains (e.g. business, education, health). Thematic analysis led to the development of seven themes, which included: self-awareness, contextual sensitivity, positive outlook, adaptability, self-regulation, interpersonal skills, and team effectiveness. These findings highlight the multiple benefits which may be experienced by engaging with Spotlight Profile and offer a framework to guide the potential areas for development when using personality profiling in applied practice.

This study aimed to determine the results of analyzing students' misconceptions of photosynthesis and plant respiration using a two-tier diagnostic test instrument in science class XII. Photosynthetic and respiration are considered abstract concepts and difficult for students to understand, allowing misconceptions to occur. A two-tier diagnostic test is one of the diagnostic tests that can be used to identify students' misconceptions. This study used a descriptive qualitative method, using a two-tier diagnostic test and interviews instrument. The sample of the research was 75 students. The result showed that the students' misconceptions of photosynthetic and respiration concepts scored 27.9% in the low category. In comparison, the cause of students' misconception can be the need for students' ability to understand the detail of the teacher's explanation.
Les capacités inférentielles en situation de compréhension de récits : l’importance de s’adapter aux niveaux scolaires considérés
Authors: Causse Lorene , Syssau Arielle , Blanc Nathalie
Published: June 2023

Cette étude examine les pratiques d’évaluation des capacités inférentielles des jeunes enfants durant la compréhension de récits. L’objectif est de se questionner sur la présence de différences développementales classiquement rapportées entre des enfants de différents âges évalués à partir d’un même récit. Plutôt que de s’inscrire seulement dans cette même perspective, cette étude propose d’explorer la pertinence de s’adapter au niveau scolaire des élèves pour évaluer précisément leurs capacités inférentielles. Les capacités inférentielles de 349 élèves de 5 à 8 ans ont été sondées, soit à partir d’un récit qui correspondait à leur niveau scolaire, soit à partir d’un récit d’un niveau scolaire différent du leur. Les résultats révèlent que lorsque les élèves de différents niveaux scolaires sont évalués à l’aide d’un même récit, ils présentent des différences de réussite. Cependant, lorsque les élèves sont évalués avec un récit adapté à leur niveau scolaire, aucune différence n’est observée entre les classes d’âge étudiées.
The flexible space of public art creates multiple languages of Central Line, shape and color
Authors: Wu Kaixuan , Ma Xinran
Published: June 2023

This paper constructs a flexible space by using three basic design elements: line, shape and color, and creates a flexible space through flexible materials and fiber art. The coordination design of lines, forms and colors of works is worthy of in-depth exploration, because it is related to the design effect of works, and has a great impact on the functions and aesthetic characteristics of works. As for the relationship among line, shape and color, we should treat them dialectically. They can exist alone as a design element, but together they will achieve a more complementary effect. In the construction of flexible space, we should seek a comfortable space expression, increase vitality and attraction, and realize harmonious development. When the flexible space is combined with human activities, the activity place can be formed. When considering flexible space, a residence space with centripetal force and cohesion shall be provided. Most importantly, these spaces should be closely linked and interdependent with human daily activities. Only in this way can the flexible space have vitality and humanization. Flexible space meets people's diverse needs, perhaps short-term rest, or long-term leisure, etc. it is precisely because we carry out these activities in the city that we shorten the distance between the city and people. We will not just "stay" in the city, but feel the familiarity brought by the flexible space to the city.
