Landscape characteristics, hydroclimate and management control spatiotemporal NO3-N patterns in a lowland catchment: implication from 30-year modelling and sensitivity analyses 
Authors: Wu Songjun , Tetzlaff Doerthe , Yang Xiaoqiang , Soulsby Chris
Published: March 2022

Modelling and predicting nitrate (NO3-N) concentrations at the catchment scale remain challenging as they are controlled by available sources, hydrological connectivity and biogeochemical transformations along the dominant flow paths, which are often spatially heterogenous and highly interacted. To unravel the controlling factors of catchment NO3-N cycling, a grid-based model, mHM-Nitrate, was applied to a 68 km2 mixed land use catchment (Demnitzer Millcreek) near Berlin. Results showed that landscape characteristics dictated the spatial distribution of NO3-N while hydroclimatic variability dominated its temporal dynamics. Restoration of riparian wetlands also mediated the NO3-N concentrations, leading to a modest reduction on NO3-N export (~10% reduction during 2001-2019). Further, the influence of three factors was validated in a spatially distributed sensitivity analysis (SSA) applied on key hydrological and nitrate parameters with a one-year moving window. The SSA results showed that the spatial pattern of parameter sensitivity was determined by NO3-N inputs and hydrological transport capacity, while its temporal dynamics were regulated by annual wetness conditions. Restoration management also contributed to the increase in sensitivity of denitrification parameters. Moreover, SSA identified the influential zones and time periods affecting simulation of NO3-N mobilisation and transport, which provides an evidence base for future model development and optimising of monitoring schemes.
Modeling the influence of biogeochemical and ecosystem processes on microplastics transport
Authors: Berezina Anfisa , Yakushev Evgeniy
Published: March 2022

In this work we analyze how seasonal production and degradation of organic matter, and corresponding changes in the plankton ecosystem affect microplastics (MP) density and ability for transportation and burying in sediments. This is simulated with a coupled hydrodynamical-biogeochemical model that provides a baseline scenario of the seasonal changes in the planktonic ecosystem and changes in the availability of particulate and dissolved organic matter. We use a biogeochemical model OxyDep that simulates seasonal changes of phytoplankton (PHY), zooplankton (HET), dissolved organic matter (DOM) and detritus (POM). A specifically designed MP module BioPlast considers MP particles as free particles, particles with biofouling, particles consumed by zooplankton and particles in detritus, including fecal pellets. A 2D coupled benthic-pelagic vertical transport model 2DBP was applied to study the effect of seasonality on lateral transport of MP and its burying in the sediments. OxyDep and MP modules were coupled with 2DBP using Framework for Aquatic Biogeochemical Modelling (FABM). The model was applied to numerically predict the spatial distribution of MP in the water column and sediments after being discharged into the aquatic environment. We have used documented concentrations of MP (fibres) in the treated wastewater from a large wastewater treatment plant with discharge to the Bekkelaget basin in the Inner Oslofjord, Norway. Numerical experiments confirm, that biogeochemical cycling leads to seasonality in the vertical and horizontal transport of MP of neutral buoyancy from its source, with higher accumulation in the sediment during the summer-autumn period, while cleaning of the upper water layers resembles the winter period. That means that MP of neutral buoyancy could be transported to a smaller distance in summer, compared with winter. Transport of light density floating MP into the deep layers and the sediments can be explained by influence of biogeochemical processes. High density MPs are affected by the biogeochemical processes to a very small degree and tend to accumulate in the sediments close to the source point. Thus, we confirm that the “biological pump” can be one of the important drivers controlling the quantity and the distribution of MP in the water column. The biological pump can deplete MP from the surface water and accelerate MP burying in summer period compared to the winter.

Projection of the risk of nutrient pollution and eutrophication for mid-21st century under changing climate and land use land cover 
Authors: Santy Sneha , Mujumdar Pradeep , Bala Govindasamy
Published: March 2022

Large industrial pollution, agricultural runoff, and disposal of untreated sewage into the river have made Kanpur the most critical water pollution hotspot of Ganga River. This study assesses the risk of nutrient pollution and resulting eutrophication in this industrialized stretch passing through Kanpur for the mid-21st century under climate change and land use land cover projections. For this assessment, climate projections from an ensemble of 20 GCMs for the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios, and future land use land cover (LULC) projections from a multi-layer perceptron neural network are used to drive a hydrological model HEC-HMS which is coupled to the water quality model QUAL2K. The nutrients assessed are ammonia, nitrate, total nitrogen, organic-, inorganic- and total phosphorous. An increase in nutrient pollution is simulated for future climate change due to a reduction in dilution volume caused by reduced low flows. An increase in nutrient pollution is also simulated for future land use land cover because of an increase in pollution from agricultural runoff. Both nitrogen and phosphorous components are highly sensitive to climate change, while only phosphorous components are highly susceptible to land use land cover. This is because, the major contribution of phosphorous pollution in this stretch is from agricultural runoff and only a negligible contribution is from point sources. The risk of nitrate pollution decreases and ammonia pollution increases with future climate change due to higher denitrification rate with warming, but the risk of total phosphorous pollution slightly decreases due to an overall reduction in phosphorous with warming following an overall increase in mean streamflow. A shift in the hotspot of eutrophication from Kanpur to Jajmau is also simulated due to limiting phosphorous eutrophication for future climate at Kanpur. The risk of eutrophication would increase with future climate change due to increased total nitrogen and total phosphorous with warming, and the risk is likely to become higher for the combined climate change and land use land cover projections. The results of this ongoing study will be presented in the meeting. Our study would be highly beneficial for the policymakers to save the Ganga River from further pollution in the future.
Assessing the spatial variability of soil moisture in the proximity of road networks on a large alluvial fan in the Himalayan Foreland
Authors: Singh Abhilash , Naik M Niranjan , Gaurav Kumar
Published: March 2022

We use Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images to study drainage congestion due to road networks on a large alluvial fan of the Kosi River. We have estimated the soil moisture from Sentinel-1 images by applying an empirical modified Dubois model (MDM), and a data-driven machine learning model based on the fully connected feed-forward artificial neural network (FC-FF-ANN). We observed that the MDM underestimates the soil moisture (R = 0.43, RMSE = 0.08 m3/m3, and bias = -0.10). The FC-FF-ANN accurately predicts the soil moisture (R = 0.85, RMSE = 0.05 m3/m3, and bias = 0) in our study area. 

We now used the soil moisture obtained from the FC-FF-ANN model to study the spatial pattern of the surface soil moisture in the proximity of road networks that act as drainage barriers. For this, we generated a buffer of 1 km along the road network. Within this, we extract the soil moisture value at the locations where the road network traverses in the vertical, inclined, and horizontal directions. We observed a clear accumulation of soil moisture near the road network that decreases gradually as we move farther from the road. We found that the impact of drainage congestion ranges between 320 to 760 m on either side of the road. This study is a step towards assessing the effect of structural interventions on drainage congestion and flood inundation.

Published: March 2022

Saprophagous macroarthropods are important actors in litter decomposition as they process large amounts of litter and transform it into fecal pellets that differ in  chemical and physical properties compared to ingested litter. When having a choice among several litter types, saprophagous macroarthropods exhibit feeding preferences depending on their nutritional requirements and body size. However, how these preferences affect feces properties is not well known. We compared the feeding preferences, production of fecal pellets and their properties for six widespread saprophagous macroarthropods species feeding on a litter mix of four common tree species from Mediterranean forests. The six animal species showed different feeding preferences that were not correlated to litter nutritional quality. Instead, we suggest that the use as microhabitat of the leaves of one litter species with tubular shape by macroarthropods  induced its higher consumption despite having the lowest nutritional value. Larger species consumed less litter per unit of body mass and had a more diverse diet composition. Furthermore, feces properties could not be linked to the diet composition, but always had higher nutritional value and water holding capacity compared to the leaf litter. The three woodlice species consistently produced feces with higher tannin concentration, higher specific area, and lower water holding capacity than that of the three millipede species. Our study calls for the consideration of other leaf litter properties than the generally studied physical and chemical ones, as well as quantifying the difference between millipede and woodlice faeces properties that may have functional implication for nutrient cycling.

The influence of interannual and long-term climate change impacts on net primary production (NPP) of terrestrial ecosystems in the central part of the Belarusian-Ukrainian Polesie region (50.7°-53° N, 25.5°-31.5° E) are investigated using satellite observations and reanalysis data. The results show that nowadays Polesie belongs to the zone of excessive heat and solar radiation resources and insufficient moisture resources. The interannual variations in NPP in Polesie are 2-3 times higher than in the other parts of Eastern Europe. Climate change in the recent 50 years led to the reduction of the total carbon stock in the vegetation cover of the region (at the rate of ~750000 t/year). However, a number of natural and anthropogenic processes not related to the climate compensate the climate-related carbon loss in the terrestrial biomass. Moreover, these processes cause a slow growth of carbon at the rate of 140000 t/year in the region.

Energía y desarrollo están estrechamente relacionados. La historia del desarrollo transcurre paralela a la historia de las formas de generación y uso de la energía. La revolución que supuso la máquina de vapor en el siglo XVIII, implicaba la transformación de la energía calorífica en energía mecánica. Hasta esa fecha, la capacidad de trabajo provenía fundamentalmente de las calorías que ingerían los seres humanos y animales de carga. En menor medida, la energía del viento, el agua o la fuerza de la gravedad eran aprovechadas para mover molinos, barcos o desplazar cargas a través de sistemas de poleas.

Conflictividad, vulnerabilidad agroclimática e inseguridad alimentaria en la región saheliana de Liptako-Gourma
Authors: Aguirre Unceta Rafael
Published: March 2022

La violenta conflictividad reciente en la región saheliana de Liptako-Gourma (compartida por Mali, Burkina Faso y Níger), junto con otros factores más estructurales (condiciones climáticas hostiles, débil productividad agraria, rápido crecimiento poblacional, pobreza), están provocando graves efectos de inseguridad alimentaria en esa región. Después de examinar esos factores y sus efectos, el objetivo de este artículo es apreciar sucintamente la respuesta humanitaria que se está dando a esa situación, así como esbozar algunas orientaciones para superarla a más largo plazo. Para salir gradualmente de la actual crisis multifacética, se consideran necesarias estrategias que afronten los diversos factores adversos mencionados, anticipando también el impacto de algunos de ellos (demografía, cambio climático) en el futuro. En lo que se refiere específicamente a la conflictividad violenta, más allá del despliegue securitario, parecen esenciales cambios en la gobernanza nacional y local.

Safety of adaptive ventilation modes ISV and PSV when weaning the patient from a respirator
Authors: Sobetova G. V. , Glavatskikh R. A. , Davydova N. S. , Leyderman I. N.
Published: March 2022

Introduction.Currently there are no reports or recommendations concerning the ventilator weaning process. Appliance of the intellectual adaptive ventilation mode (iSV) represented in indigenous Russian unit ALV ZISLINE МV200 К 1.19 («Triton» Yekaterinburg) is highly potential. It provides minute ventilation target volume regardless of spontaneous patient’s respiratory activity and controls the pressure-support ventilation level (PSV) after each ventilatory cycle. Object was to increase safety of a patient’s spontaneous breathing adaptation period after longtime artificial lung ventilation.

Materials and methods.Using the continuous sampling method we’ve surveyed 46 patients at the ages from 34 to 81 y.o. (median is 65.5 y.o.) being under prolonged artificial lung ventilation treatment at ICU from 5 to 28 full days. The groups are divided into 2 depending on the assisted respiration method for spontaneous breathing adaptation. In the 1st group (n = 25) the PSV mode was used for the purpose of spontaneous breathing adaptation. In the 2nd group (n = 21) the iSV mode was employed. The safety of conducting artificial lung ventilation was estimated by the dynamic of the arterial CO2 level, arterial oxygen saturation, pressure-support value, oxygen and energy intake value and a 24-hour fluid balance.

Results.The comparison study of the metabolic indicants showed a higher rate of estimated energy requirement in the PSV mode authentically different by 3-5 full days, positive fluid balance conditioned by positive airway pressure and certain fluid retention which confirms more active respiratory load in the PSV mode. In the iSV mode from the 3rd till the 5th full day there’s negative fluid balance. By the 7th-10th full day it becomes slightly positive which proves electrolyte and fluid balance stabilization.

Discussion.Most of the studies related to the study of the advantages of one or another method of auxiliary ventilation used the success of weaning as the primary indicator. In our study, we focused on the main respiratory indicators and the adequacy of ventilation when using auxiliary modes, as well as metabolic costs. In our study, we noted a decrease in the number of days spent by patients in IUC when using the iSV mode compared with the use of the PSV mode. We have determined a significant reduction in the estimated energy demand when using the adaptive ventilation mode compared to the pressure support mode, regardless of the PS level, as well as an increase in VO2 and VCO2.

Conclusion.Thus, the iSV mode is believed to be more physiological than the PSV as it not only makes less demands on the respiratory system but it also allows to stabilize a patient's fluid balance during recovery after his/her critical condition.

Authors: Beyn B. N. , Gorodnicheva A. V.
Published: March 2022

Introduction. The article presents a rare observation of a family case of Unverricht-Lundborg disease, a variants of myoclonus-epilepsy characterized by a hyperactive state of cortical-subcortical motor mechanisms that cause stationary myoclonus of subcortical genesis and «trigger» generalized epileptic seizures when it intensifies. Due to the low frequency of occurrence, only single observations of Unverricht-Lundborg disease have previously been published. The aim of this work was to highlight the clinical features of a rare familial variant of Unferricht-Lundborg myoclonus-epilepsy in comparison with the manifestations of single cases described in the literature. Materials and methods. We present a family case of the disease in three siblings, manifesting as they reached the age of disease debut. The family pedigree in several generations is analyzed, and the life and manifestations of the disease in each of the brothers are described. The disease pattern of single siblings and semiology in single cases of myoclonus epilepsy were compared. Results and Discussion. By the example of the description of a family case of the disease, the importance of clinical characteristics is emphasized, which determines the further strategy of diagnostic search and application of instrumental methods of investigation. In addition, the collection of complaints, history, and neurological examination data when diagnosing Unferricht-Lundborg disease allow a specialist to differentiate it from various variants of hereditary myoclonus-epilepsy (up to 15 variants according to the literature), the similarity of symptoms of which may lead to an erroneous diagnosis. Modern lines of supportive therapy of Unferricht-Lundborg disease, allowing to slow down the progressive nature of the incurable pathology, are analyzed, the characteristics of the action of individual drugs are given. Conclusion. There are a number of similarities and differences in the clinical manifestations of Unferricht-Lundborg myoclonus-epilepsy in sporadic or familial variants of the disease. The leading triad of symptoms has chronologically inconsistent initiation in individual patients and different dominance in each individual case, which creates variability in the disease.

Determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) is the key area of research in development economics. Earlier studies did not give due weight to the segregation of analysis across economic, social, and institutional factors for FDI. This study specifically attempts to explore the intervening role of social and institutional factors which affects the relationship between economic factors and inward FDI. For this purpose, three segregate models relating to economic, social, and institutional factors along with a composite model comprised of all these factors are taken into consideration in this study. Panel data utilized is related to South Asian countries from 2008 to 2016. In the light of Breusch-Pagan LM Statistics, Pooled OLS estimates are preferred for analyses. This study leads to the conclusion that in segregation analysis economic factors and institutional factors have an important role in attracting FDI, but social factors have no significant role in this regard. The intervening role of social and institutional factors is not found in this study. The only factors which are recognized in the composite analysis are economic. Enlarged market size having an efficient financial market with no inflationary pressure is found to be an economic environment in the South Asian region which is helpful for attracting FDI. The rule of law is not found to be an effective characteristic for inward FDI.

The effects of treatment with fungicides on the physiological processes were observed in Vitis vinifera L. plants cultivated in the climatic conditions in Oltenia region.The physiological analyzes were performed on July 18th 2021, both for plants treated with Dithane M-45 (0,2%), in four phases, at 12 days interval and also for the plants attacked by Uncinula necator (Schv.) Burr. in which treatments have not been performed. In the Vitis vinifera L. plants attacked by Uncinula necator (Schv.) it was observed that the physiological processes intensity is lower as a result of the reduction of the assimilation surface due to the covering of the leaves with the mycelium of the fungus, the appearance of whitish spots and the browning of the tissues, in comparison with the plants in which fungicide treatments have been performed.

Agriculture has been around since ancient times and continues to be today a vital area of human activity. It remains the only source of food, an important supplier of raw materials for industry and also a significant market for its production. Agricultural ecosystems as an integrated organic complex of natural, economic and social factors, require the rational, scientific intervention of the farmer, leading to raising its productivity, its protection and profitability, based on superior parameters of contemporary technology, making full use of market economy mechanisms. The area occupied in our country by the soils with crops that are established in autumn is about 37% of the total agricultural area. The mechanization technology which includes tillage by removing the stubble and/or preparing the germinated bed on unplowed land, on which the autumn crops are established, it can be applied at a qualitative level corresponding to the agropedological requirements, at a low cost price and with low energy consumption, by using disc harrows.

The rural environment has always been a challenge for the implementation of projects with European non-reimbursable funding, both in terms of human resources and in terms of the implementation of these projects. The number and structure of human resources in rural areas differs from those in urban areas, which should be analyzed with an emphasis on the level of training and training opportunities according to this level and the need of the market. At the level of the SV Oltenia development region, disparities can be found both in the volume and in the structure of human resources depending on the degree of industrialization of each county and the extent to which the relief allows the practice of agriculture. The low level of education of the rural population of the region leads to negative effects both for the population in the area and for the development of the area. The present study presents the main features of rural human resources in the South West Oltenia region, as well as an analysis of the main indicators on labor force
