The diagnosis of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) is a challenge for both the immune-haematology laboratory and the clinician as the laboratory investigation can be troublesome and often requires extensive time-consuming serological testing, especially when a blood transfusion is needed. Frequently, there is a need to start therapy rapidly. Autoantibodies directed to epitopes on red blood cell (RBC) consisting in sugar and/or protein structures are crucial in the pathogenesis of AIHA. The isotype is important for the clinical significance of an autoantibody. Frequently, patients are icteric and suffer from clinical signs of anaemia, such as pallor, fatigue, shortness of breath and palpitations, on examination hepatosplenomegaly can be present. If there is no vital indication for a transfusion it is prudent to wait for the results of the immune-haematological tests and the ensuing transfusion advice based on this. Focus of treatment should be stoppage of hemolysis or at least be attenuated via an inhibition of autoantibody production and/or inhibition of premature RBC destruction. Successful treatment of secondary AIHA is only possible when the underlying disease is treated.

Cardiac tumors (CTs) in children are very rare, but their diagnosis is crucial for patient management. Echocardiography is the most commonly used cardiovascular imaging modality in clinical practice for the initial diagnosis of CTs in pediatric patients. Knowing the echocardiographic characteristics of CTs can enable an increasingly early diagnosis and the identification of its most likely etiology. Primary and benign CTs are the most frequent types in the pediatric population. Among benign CTs, the most frequent in fetuses and neonates are rhabdomyomas and teratomas. In children and adolescents, rhabdomyomas and fibromas are more common. Here we describe the echocardiographic characteristics of the most common CTs in pediatric patients

Published: September 2022

Adolescents living without father figures are likely to encounter some psycho-social challenges. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the influence of father absence on emotional adjustment of adolescent among secondary school learners in Makueni-Sub County, Kenya. The study adopted quantitative descriptive survey design a total sample of 344 respondents, all form three students sampled through non-random. Data was collected through questionnaires. Analysis for quantitative data was done using descriptive statistics involving means and frequencies, and inferential statistics involving chi-square and Pearson correlation. This process was aided by use of a computer program, Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 28. The study established a correlation between the availability of father or male figure and adolescents’ psychosocial wellbeing. To establish the influence of father absence on emotional adjustment, a regression analysis was conducted, and the findings showed that, and P value was above 0.005 significant level. Therefore, according to the results presented, father-absence did not have significant influence emotional regulation among adolescents. On father absence and social behavior among secondary school learners in Makueni Sub-County, regression analysis findings showed a P value which is less than the 0.005 level of significance. This revealed that the independent variable had an influence on the dependent variable. Thus, father-absence had an influence on social behavior among secondary school learners in Makueni Sub-County, Kenya. The informed conclusions shed light on the complexities of fatherlessness and absent fathers. Multiple stakeholders may benefit from the findings of the study including adolescents, caregivers, psychologists, teachers, policy makers and parents, by knowing the psychological effects of father’s absence on the adolescents’ development hence adapting appropriate strategies to deal with the challenges.
Identification of Mutations in GATA2 Gene in Adult Bengali Bangladeshi Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Patients
Authors: ZA Yesmin , L Nishat , MM Masum , E Sharmin , M Abdullah-Al-Sayeef
Published: September 2022

AML is a malignant disease of the bone marrow in which hematopoietic precursors are arrested in an early stage of development due to genetic alterations in normal hematopoietic stem cells. Several genes are identified for the disease and GATA2 gene is one of the important genes among them because mutations of GATA2 gene suppress leukemogenesis. In a country like Bangladesh, genetic services are at an early stage of development or even not yet developed. There is no adequate reporting on GATA2 gene mutations in adult Bengali Bangladeshi AML patients. The aim of the study was to determine the mutations of GATA2 gene in AML patients in the adult Bengali Bangladeshi population. The present study was a cross-sectional type of descriptive study. The study was carried out in the Genetic Research Center (GRC) of the Department of Anatomy, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Bangladesh during the period of January 2018 to December 2018. The study includes 50 adult Bengali Bangladeshi AML patients. Informed written consent was obtained from the participants. For identifying the mutations peripheral venous blood was obtained from each patient and sequencing was done using ABI Sanger Sequencer 3730. Research shows the mean age is 25±14.2 and average age group of adult AML patients of Bengali Bangladeshis is 18-29 years (54%), among them 31 (62%) and 19 (38%) were females and males respectively. GATA2 gene mutations were identified in 1 of the 50 AML patients and shows synonymous, frameshift and missense variant compared with the database of dbSNP. Identification of different variant with this small sample size emphasizes the importance of exploring the genetic makeup of adult Bengali Bangladeshi AML patients to develop a database for proper screening and genetic counseling of the disease.
«Страна птиц» и другие фильмы о природе: новации жанровой генерации
Authors: Беркова Надежда
Published: September 2022

C 2011 года на российском канале «Культура» выходит сериал «Страна птиц». К теме отражения взаимодействия природы и общества можно отнести и другие типологически близкие неигровые фильмы, появившиеся в нулевые и десятые годы нового столетия. Своевременность их выпуска связывается с осмыслением экологического кризиса в философской парадигме Сида, Наэсса, Харари, Мортона. Творчество ведущих режиссеров проекта Светланы Быченко, Татьяны Обозовой – неординарное явление в современной документалистике. Жанровая генерация (по терминологии Шерговой) кино о природе, сложившаяся за десятилетие, не находит отражения в искусствоведческой литературе. Между тем поэтика контента, нарратива, эстетических форм, научно-популярного подхода к материалу характеризует исследование как актуальное. Целью данной статьи является анализ поэтики авторского кино с учетом методологий Бахтина, Прожико, Трухиной, а задачами – выявление особенностей данной жанровой генерации. С целью осмысления эволюционного процесса для анализа разнообразия форм отражения реальности использовались философские методы/стили, такие как метамодернизм в трактовке Вермюлена и Аккера, метареализм в объяснении Андреева, принципы экологического мышления Эпштейна. Особое внимание уделено эстетическим характеристикам произведений и их междисциплинарности – синтезу документальной, научно-популярной и художественно-поэтической линий. В творчестве Быченко анализируется ведущая черта стиля – первенство сказово-поэтического начала, тесно связанного с созерцательной основой ее операторского мастерства. Превалированием научно-популярной составляющей отмечено творчество Татьяны Обозовой, Надежды Дорофеевой и других авторов. Данный подход связан с позицией ученого-наблюдателя, чей материал служит рациональному исследованию биологии животного, экологической ниши его обитания. В хронологической последовательности рассмотрены работы Быченко от проектов с учеными к авторскому кино, ленты Обозовой, работающей под художественным руководством Быченко, индивидуальность научного подхода Дорофеевой. Показано, что жанровая генерация имеет актуальную экологическую направленность и в эпоху экологического кризиса обращает зрителя к непреходящим ценностям природы.
Интерпретация природного наследия в современном искусстве Казахстана
Authors: Резникова Екатерина
Published: September 2022

Критическое состояние природных ресурсов планеты побуждает общество задуматься о предотвращении возможной грядущей катастрофы. Художники, глашатаи болевых точек социума, фокусируются на проблеме сохранения природного наследия, экологичности, раскрытии перманентно обостряющегося конфликта человека и окружающего его мира. Озабоченность проблемами окружающей среды возникает как реакция на отчуждение человека от мира, природы, самого себя, что есть сущностный признак нашей цивилизации. Использование новых инструментов, методов и технологий, вариативность художественных средств и разнообразной языковой стилистики определяет специфику произведений художников современного искусства Казахстана, образующих в совокупности отдельное художественное явление. Генеральной линией феномена становятся трансформации природного наследия, художественное осмысление онтологической сущности и взаимосвязи человека и природы. Целью статьи является анализ ряда произведений современного искусства Казахстана для выявления характерных для современности тенденций в художественной интерпретации природного наследия и, шире, на раскрытии онтологических законов арт-процесса сегодняшних реалий. В фокусе исследования – ключевые фигуры казахстанского contemporary art, известные и востребованные за рубежом: Рустам Хальфин, Елена и Виктор Воробьевы, Ербосын Мельдибеков, Алмагуль Менлибаева, Сауле Сулейменова, Молдакул Нарымбетов, Сакен Нарынов и другие. Анимизм природных объектов, использование нехудожественных и отработанных предметов в качестве художественных материалов, обращение к архаическому культу обожествленияприродных сил, актуализация принципов современного искусства становятся характерными трендами современного арт-процесса. Обзор ряда проектов позволяет раскрыть многообразие подходов в трактовке данного явления – от экологического и метафизического до социологического и геополитического. Антропологическая составляющая круга рассматриваемых произведений формирует воспроизведение природного наследия в современном искусстве Казахстана в виде мифологизирующего начала природного материала, внутреннего конфликта человека и окружающей его среды, актуализации экологических проблем в контексте современных реалий.

Published: September 2022

Introduction and aims: An awake craniotomy is one of the newly introduced procedures for brain tumor surgery. It is a brain operation where speech and language functions are monitored by a clinical speech therapist with the active participation of the patient who is awake during the procedure. The aim of such an operation is to preserve the speech and language functions of the patient as well as resection of the brain tumor to the greatest possible extent. This paper summarizes the current experience and knowledge of awake craniotomy at the University Hospital in Ostrava. Methodology: Retrospective evaluation of the success of performed awake craniotomies with extirpations of tumors located in eloquent regions of the brain. The criterion for the success of awake craniotomy was the preservation of patient’s speech and language skills after surgery compared to their condition before surgery. Description of procedures, preoperative examinations, and intraoperative testing by a clinical speech therapist. Results: By comparing the results of testing speech and language functions in a group of 54 patients operated between 2013 and 2021 before and after awake craniotomy, it was found that in 40 of 54 patients there was no deterioration of speech and language functions after surgery. From a speech therapy perspective, this is a 74% success rate. Conclusion: Awake craniotomy is a new procedure introduced during brain glioma operations in eloquent regions of the speech zones. The method contributes signifi cantly to the preservation of the patient’s speech and language competences and thus to the preservation of his quality of life. Key words awake craniotomy – language functions – clinical speech therapist

Published: September 2022

O presente estudo objetivou analisar o papel do gênero, dos valores pessoais, da percepção dos produtores rurais e a visão dos pais como antecedentes das intenções de decisões de carreira de produtores rurais familiares e não familiares, com um histórico de negócio familiar. A pesquisa foi realizada com 202 produtores rurais com um histórico de atividade familiar. Para estimar os resultados, foi utilizada regressão multinominal logística stepwise. Os resultados indicaram que os valores pessoais de abertura a mudança, autopromoção estão positivamente associados à escolha de criar um novo negócio, enquanto o valor pessoal autotranscedência está positivamente associado a trabalhar fora do negócio familiar. Já o valor pessoal do conservadorismo mostrou aumentar a probabilidade de os produtores rurais optarem por suceder em vez de empreender. Ainda, a identificação com a empresa e a condição de trabalho dos pais mostraram aumentar a probabilidade de escolha pela sucessão ao invés de empreender. Além disso, os resultados indicaram que tanto a preferência dos pais quanto a preparação feita por eles influenciam a escolha pela sucessão ao invés de empreender. Conclui-se desta forma que os valores pessoais estão associados à escolha de criar um novo negócio, suceder e trabalhar fora do negócio familiar. As percepções dos produtores rurais estão associadas à escolha pela sucessão, e a visão dos pais está associada à escolha por suceder.

Male and Female Violence in Popular Media
Authors: Giomi Elisa , Magaraggia Sveva
Published: September 2022

Elisa Giomi and Sveva Magaraggia propose that men engage in violent conduct at a higher rate than women because they are socially and culturally ‘programmed’ to do so. Popular culture representations play a crucial role in this process: TV series, films, pop music and videos, advertising commercials and tabloids all tend to ‘normalise’ violence against women as an allegedly natural inclination of males. Violent women, on the other hand, are believed to transgress both criminal and ‘natural’ laws, according to which they are supposed to give life, not death.

By examining popular culture’s depiction of men and women in their opposite, yet complementary, roles of perpetrators and victims, the authors show unexplored interconnections, namely that gender ‘does’ violence and violence ‘does’ gender. Empirical evidence is presented, drawing on the following case studies:

male violence in contemporary Italian pop musicfemale violence in crime TV series including The Killing (Denmark, 2007-2012),The Fall (UK, 2013-2016) and True Detective (USA, 2015)the use and abuse of gendered violence in Italian and international advertising images such as billboards and postersmale and female intimate partner violence in factual entertainment (Who the (bleep) Did I Marry? (Investigation Discovery, 2010-2015)).
White Devils, Black Gods
Authors: Driscoll Christopher M.
Published: September 2022

Interweaving academic theory, (auto)ethnography, and memoir-styled narrative, Christopher M. Driscoll explores what the “white devil” trope means for understanding and responding to tensions emerging from toxic white masculinity.

The book provides a historical and philosophical account of the “white devil” as it appears in stories and myths in various Black religions, particularly as these traditions are expressed through the contemporary cultural expression of hip-hop. Driscoll argues that through the trope of the white devil arises a self-hatred in white men that is concealed (and revealed) through various defence mechanisms – principally, anger – and provides rich ground to discuss the relationship between perceptions of self (i.e. who we are), emotional regulation, and our behaviour towards others (i.e. how we act).

Depicting paths forward for genuine reparations and systemic justice, this is an essential read for people who want to build communities to counter white racism and nurture expansive, generative interdependence.
Finding the Beat
Authors: Hesselink Nathan
Published: September 2022

Finding the Beat explores humankind’s ability, propensity, and enjoyment in finding the beat in live and recorded experiences of music-making through the lens of entrainment, the human capacity to perceive a beat and to synchronize to it. Anyone who has attended a concert, gone to a club, or watched a sporting event has witnessed and/or participated in tapping, clapping, or dancing along with a piece, song, or chant. It doesn’t matter who or where you are in the world—as humans we spend a lot of time taking pleasure in matching our bodily movements with a perceived beat.

Drawing upon diverse examples from the North American and British rock repertoire, Nathan Hesselink demonstrates that listeners are gripped in deep and compelling ways when musicians play with or against the expectations set up by entrainment. Via musicology, music theory, ethnomusicology, and cognitive neuroscience, he illustrates the creative, aesthetic, and participatory pleasure and wonder afforded by our collective ability to find the beat.
Dairy Farming in the 21st Century
Authors: Scholten Bruce A.
Published: September 2022

How do we achieve food security for a global population now over 7 billion people and trending towards 10 billion by 2050? This study of the global dairy industry examines how to balance our needs with those of animals and the environment. It scrutinises ruminant bovines’ worrying exhaling of methane, a greenhouse gas which, fortunately, evidence shows can be reduced by adding seaweed to cattle feed. Are the multi-thousand-cow mega-dairies of the USA appropriate models for Africa and Asia’s high-growth dairy regions, where so many women are smallholders? Is it ethical to keep cows in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), eating unnatural high-energy/low fibre diets when they prefer grazing pasture? Other issues include hormones for oestrus stimulation, and GMOs for milk yield, stressing cows’ immune systems and drastically shortening longevity. This book offers multifaceted discussion of the central and ancillary issues relevant to dairying, and consumption of plant- and laboratory-based foods in the 21st century. No book to date offers such a comprehensive overview, linking ethics, environment, health and policy-making with in-depth coverage of the major dairy farming regions of the world.
Is Swiss-ball-based exercise superior to plinth-based exercise in improving trunk motor control and balance in subjects with sub-acute stroke? A pilot randomized control trial
Authors: Khurana Yagna , Devi Manju , Kaur Anujot , Subramanian Thiagarajan , Mani Suresh
Published: September 2022

Introduction

Stroke is the most common cause of neurological dysfunction, associated with high mortality and morbidity. Early stroke rehabilitation is essential for optional functional recovery, particularly motor control of the trunk muscles and balance. The study investigated the effects of Swiss-ball-based and plinth-based trunk exercises for improving trunk control and functional balance in subjects with sub-acute stroke.

Methods

Overall, 20 sub-acute stroke patients aged 40–60 years were recruited and divided into the experimental group (Swiss ball exercise) and the control group (plinth exercise). Upper and lower trunk exercises were performed by the patients sitting on a Swiss ball or a plinth. The 45-minute sessions were applied for 5 days a week for a total of 4 weeks. Trunk Impairment Scale, Modified Functional Reach Test, and Functional Balance Scale evaluations were performed at baseline and at the end of the 4 weeks.

Results

The differences between the baseline characteristics of participants in both groups were not significant. After the intervention, there were significant (p > 0.01) changes in the Trunk Impairment Scale total, static, dynamic, and coordination scores, mental status, Modified Functional Reach Test results, and functional balance scores, with high effect sizes in the Swiss ball exercise group.

Conclusions

In patients with sub-acute stroke, trunk exercises performed on a Swiss ball were found to be more effective than those performed on a plinth to improve trunk control, forward and lateral reach, and functional balance.
Effect of functional task training versus resistance training in improving activities of daily living performance in Indian community-dwelling older adults
Authors: Mohammed Rafi , Dangat Pallavi , Bhatnagar Gaurav
Published: September 2022

Introduction

There is little certainty about the effect of different exercise programs on the performance of activities of daily living (ADL). The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of functional task training (FTT) and resistance training (RT) on improving ADL performance in Indian community-dwelling older adults.

Methods

The single-blinded comparative experimental study involved 100 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and above. The subjects were randomly assigned to either the FTT group or the RT group. The FTT group (n = 50) performed functional task exercises associated with functional performance and the RT group (n = 50) performed resistance exercises focusing mainly on muscle performance. Exercises were practised in 1-hour sessions, 3 times a week, for 12 weeks. ADL performance of the participants was assessed at baseline and 12 weeks by using the Groningen Activity Restriction Scale.

Results

In both groups, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed a significant difference between median pre-intervention ranks and median post-intervention ranks, indicating a significant improvement in ADL performance in both groups (p < 0.05). However, the Mann-Whitney U test demonstrated that the improvement in ADL performance in the FTT group was significantly greater than that in the RT group (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Although both groups significantly enhanced their ADL performance, the improvement achieved by the FTT group was significantly greater than that in the RT group.
Effect of kinesiotaping on subtalar evertor and invertor muscle strength
in healthy individuals
Authors: Mohamed Ghada Abdel Moneim , Abdallah Amira A.A.
Published: September 2022

Introduction

To date, no study examined the effect of ankle kinesiotaping on eccentric versus concentric subtalar evertor and invertor strength nor compared its effect between evertors and invertors. This study examined the effect of kinesiotaping on peak subtalar evertor and invertor eccentric and concentric torques assessed at 120º/sec. Eccentric versus concentric torque in both muscle groups as well as evertor versus invertor torque at both modes of muscle contraction were examined.

Methods

A group of 30 healthy individuals (24 males and 6 females) with mean age 21 ± 2.73 years, height 1.73 ± 0.08 m, and weight 75 ± 6.20 kg were tested. They were randomly tested with kinesiotape use and without. The kinesiotape was applied on the tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior, peroneus longus and peroneus brevis muscles. The peak torques were assessed using a Biodex isokinetic dynamometer.

Results

2×2×2 Repeated Measure ANOVA revealed that the peak torque was significantly higher with kinesiotape use compared with no tape for both eccentric and concentric evertors, and eccentric invertors (p ≤ 0.009). The eccentric peak torque was significantly higher than the concentric for both evertors and invertors with kinesiotape use, and evertors with no tape (p ≤ 0.001). Finally, the invertor concentric torque was significantly higher than the evertor torque with no tape use (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

Ankle kinesiotaping improves both evertor and invertor torques with the eccentric torque being significantly improved compared with the concentric. No significant effect on evertors versus invertors was found. This suggests kinesiotape use for managing musculoskeletal disorders caused by impaired subtalar muscle strength as lateral ankle sprains.

Authors: Oliveira Isabela Ceni de , Santos Alcione de Oliveira dos , Jaworski Eduardo Baldin , Martins João Pedro Facundo
Published: September 2022

Introdução: A tuberculose é a doença infecciosa mais frequente em pessoas que possuem AIDS, diminuindo drasticamente sua qualidade de vida e aumentando a mortalidade dessa população. No Brasil, a proporção Tuberculose/HIV é de 9,4%, Ou seja, de 100% de pacientes que contraem tuberculose, 9,4% são pacientes que já testaram positivo para HIV. A realidade atual dessas duas epidemias e sua associação tornam necessários os estudos e a atenção da ciência voltada para estas doenças. Objetivos: Este estudo buscou analisar a relação entre a tuberculose e a AIDS em pacientes adultos e a necessidade de políticas públicas voltadas para esta condição. Metodologia: Neste artigo foram utilizados os métodos de pesquisa bibliográfica e leitura crítica. As buscas foram feitas por meio dos principais sites de artigos científicos, como SciELO e Portal Regional da BVS no período de 1995 a 2021. Resultados: Mesmo com a estatística importante de diagnóstico da Tuberculose em pacientes com HIV, é mais difícil identificar a bactéria da tuberculose nestes pacientes, necessitando a realização rotineira de cultura para micobactérias no diagnóstico de tuberculose em portadores do HIV. Além disso, há a extrema necessidade também da realização de políticas públicas como programas de saúde que abordem a correlação destas duas doenças resultando a informação da população em geral, mas principalmente da população já atingida pelo vírus HIV. Conclusão: Dessa forma, vale ressaltar a necessidade da maior atenção da medicina na área da infectologia para a relação dessas duas doenças, pois ambas são muito invasivas e podem diminuir muito a qualidade de vida dos pacientes que as contraem.
Dionysos- Eros- Panter: Diphilos İmzalı Bir Terrakotta Figürin
Authors: DOĞAN GÜRBÜZER Elçin
Published: September 2022

Hellenistik Dönem ile birlikte Pişmiş Toprak Figürin endüstrisinde üretimin gelişmesi, birçok üretim işliğinin de kurulmasına yol açmıştır. Söz konusu atölyeler ile ilgili en net bilgi, figürinlerin üzerindeki imza ve monograflar yoluyla edinilebilmektedir. Antik Dönemdeki koroplathos ismiyle bilinen terrakotta üreticileri, özellikle Aolis bölgesindeki Myrina kentindeki kazılardan elde edilen veriler aracılığıyla saptanmıştır. Bu üreticilerin ya da atölyelerin arasında Diphilos en bilinenidir. Diphilos’ a ait eserler günümüzde dünyanın çeşitli müze ve koleksiyonlarında bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ele alınan Diphilos imzalı figürin, İzmir Karaoğlu Koleksiyonuna aittir. Söz konusu figürin, Dionysos, Eros ve panter figürlerini kapsayan bir üçlemeden oluşmaktadır. Merkez figür Dionysos, yarı çıplak ve feminen bir tarzda betimlenmiştir. Tipik Hellenistik stilde çıplak ve çocuk Eros ve panter figürleri ana figüre doğru odaklanmış ve böylece piramidal bir kompozisyon yaratılmıştır. Aynı tip figürin grubu Diphilos dışında başka atölyelerde de üretilmiştir. Ancak bu eserin en yakın örneği Atina Arkeoloji Okulu’nda bulunan yine Diphilos imzalı bir başka figürindir. Olasılıkla bu iki eser aynı kalıptan üretilmişlerdir. İkonografik açıdan ise Dionysos’un feminen betimi, antik literatürde de sözü edilen tanrının çift cinsiyetli kimliğini, Eros ile birlikteliği ise her iki tanrının çılgınlık duygusunu yayma konusundaki ortak misyonlarını ortaya koyar.

Determination of optical constants and band gap variation of Zn0.98-xCu0.02MgxO thin films
Authors: AKCAN Doğan
Published: September 2022

Cu doped ZnO (ZnCuO) is a very important candidate for electronic applications, since it has been shown that it possesses p–type conductivity. In order to broaden its applications, it is crucial to tune optical and electronic properties. In this study, by doping ZnCuO with magnesium, variation of refractive index, extinction coefficient, and band gap of thin films were investigated. Optical constants were evaluated using a transmittance model which is derived from Fresnel equations. Refractive indices of thin films were expressed as a dispersion relation in a polynomial form, while extinction coefficients were modelled as a convolution by Lorentzian curves. It was observed that magnesium doping decreased the refractive index and also caused a blue shift in absorption edge which is a clear indicator of band gap widening.

Abstract. Ozone (O3) is a secondary pollutant in the atmosphere formed by photochemical reactions that endangers human health and ecosystems. O3 has aggravated in Asia in recent decades and will vary in the future. In this study, to quantify the impacts of future climate change on O3 pollution, near-surface O3 concentrations over Asia in 2020–2100 are projected using a machine learning (ML) method along with multisource data. The ML model is trained with combined O3 data from a global atmospheric chemical transport model and real-time observations. The ML model is then used to estimate future O3 with meteorological fields from multi-model simulations under various climate scenarios. The near-surface O3 concentrations are projected to increase by 5–20 % over South China, Southeast Asia, and South India and less than 10 % over North China and Gangetic Plains under the high forcing scenarios in the last decade of 21st century, compared to the first decade of 2020–2100. The O3 increases are primarily owing to the favorable meteorological conditions for O3 photochemical formation in most Asian regions. We also find that the summertime O3 pollution over eastern China will expand from North China to South China and extend into the cold season in a warmer future. Our results demonstrate the important role of climate change penalty on Asian O3 in the future, which provides implications for environmental and climate strategies of adaptation and mitigation.
Correcting ozone biases in a global chemistry–climate model: implications for future ozone

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Weaknesses in process representation in chemistry–climate models lead to biases in simulating surface ozone and to uncertainty in projections of future ozone change. We here develop a deep learning model to demonstrate the feasibility of ozone bias correction in a global chemistry–climate model. We apply this approach to identify the key factors causing ozone biases and to correct projections of future surface ozone. Temperature and the related geographic variables latitude and month show the strongest relationship with ozone biases. This indicates that ozone biases are sensitive to temperature and suggests weaknesses in representation of temperature-sensitive physical or chemical processes. Photolysis rates are also an important factor, highlighting the sensitivity of biases to simulated cloud cover and insolation. Atmospheric chemical species such as the hydroxyl radical, nitric acid and peroxyacyl nitrate show strong positive relationships with ozone biases on a regional scale. These relationships reveal the conditions under which ozone biases occur, although they reflect association rather than direct causation. We correct model projections of future ozone under different climate and emission scenarios following the shared socio-economic pathways. We find that changes in seasonal ozone mixing ratios from the present day to the future are generally smaller than those simulated without bias correction, especially in high-emission regions. This suggests that the ozone sensitivity to changing emissions and climate may be overestimated with chemistry–climate models. Given the uncertainty in simulating future ozone, we show that deep learning approaches can provide improved assessment of the impacts of climate and emission changes on future air quality, along with valuable information to guide future model development.

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Formaldehyde (HCHO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations and profiles were retrieved from ground-based multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) observations during January 2017–December 2018 at three sites in Asia: (1) Phimai (15.18∘ N, 102.5∘ E), Thailand; (2) Pantnagar (29∘ N, 78.90∘ E) in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP), India; and (3) Chiba (35.62∘ N, 140.10∘ E), Japan. Retrievals were performed using the Japanese MAX-DOAS profile retrieval algorithm ver. 2 (JM2). The observations were used to evaluate the NO2 and HCHO partial columns and
profiles (0–4 km) simulated using the global chemistry transport model
(CTM) CHASER (Chemical Atmospheric General Circulation Model for Study of Atmospheric Environment and Radiative Forcing). The NO2 and HCHO concentrations at all three sites
showed consistent seasonal variation throughout the investigated period.
Biomass burning affected the HCHO and NO2 variations at Phimai during
the dry season and at Pantnagar during spring (March–May) and post-monsoon
(September–November). Results found for the HCHO-to-NO2 ratio
(RFN), an indicator of high ozone sensitivity, indicate that the transition region (i.e., 1 < RFN < 2) changes regionally, echoing the recent finding for RFN effectiveness. Moreover, reasonable estimates of transition regions can be derived, accounting for the NO2–HCHO chemical feedback. The model was evaluated against global NO2 and HCHO columns data
retrieved from Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) observations before
comparison with ground-based datasets. Despite underestimation, the model
well simulated the satellite-observed global spatial distribution of
NO2 and HCHO, with respective spatial correlations (r) of 0.73 and 0.74. CHASER demonstrated good performance, reproducing the MAX-DOAS-retrieved HCHO and NO2 abundances at Phimai, mainly above 500 m from the surface.
Model results agree with the measured variations within the 1-sigma (1σ)
standard deviation of the observations. Simulations at higher resolution
improved the modeled NO2 estimates for Chiba, reducing the mean bias
error (MBE) for the 0–2 km height by 35 %, but resolution-based
improvements were limited to surface layers. Sensitivity studies show that
at Phimai, pyrogenic emissions contribute up to 50 % and 35 % to HCHO and NO2 concentrations, respectively.

Abstract. Previous research on atmospheric chemistry in the forest environment has shown that the total reactivity from biogenic volatile organic compound
(BVOC) emissions is not well considered in forest chemistry models. One possible explanation for this discrepancy is the unawareness and neglect of
reactive biogenic emissions that have eluded common monitoring methods. This question motivated the development of a total ozone reactivity monitor
(TORM) for the direct determination of the reactivity of foliage emissions. Emission samples drawn from a vegetation branch enclosure experiment
are mixed with a known and controlled amount of ozone (resulting in, e.g., 100 ppb of ozone) and directed through a temperature-controlled
glass flow reactor to allow reactive biogenic emissions to react with ozone during the approximately 2 min residence time in the
reactor. The ozone reactivity is determined from the difference in the ozone mole fraction before and after the reaction vessel. An inherent
challenge of the experiment is the influence of changing water vapor in the sample air on the ozone signal. Sample air was drawn through Nafion dryers to mitigate the water vapor interference, and a commercial UV absorption ozone monitor was modified to directly determine the ozone differential with one instrument. These
two modifications significantly reduced interferences from water vapor and errors associated with the determination of the reacted ozone as the
difference from two individual measurements, resulting in a much improved and sensitive determination of the ozone reactivity. This paper provides a
detailed description of the measurement design, the instrument apparatus, and its characterization. Examples and results from field deployments
demonstrate the applicability and usefulness of the TORM.

Published: September 2022

PO.DAAC has pioneered data migration to the NASA Earthdata Cloud (Amazon Web Service – AWS) beginning in January 2021. Today, the entire active data collections archived at PO.DAAC have been successfully migrated. The migration effort includes not just the datasets, but also the access tools/services and documentation, together forming the new PO.DAAC-in-Cloud (POCLOUD) data ecosystem, which brings challenges but also opportunities to the users with many new capabilities. In the new cloud paradigm, the traditional PO.DAAC data search portal will continue to serve as the main data discovery platform for its datasets. In addition, NASA has designed an Earthdata search portal for discovering the earth science datasets and granules across all 12 NASA data centers. To access the POCLOUD data, most of the on-premise tools and services are (will be) made available except PO.DAAC Drive, which will be retired after the cloud data migration. Currently, the data direct download (https), AWS S3 buckets access, OPeNDAP, the Level 2 subsetting tool HiTIDE, and the visualization tool SOTO have been added to POCLOUD datasets. A collection of Harmony APIs, which are a common family of services for discovering , accessing and transforming the Earth observation data in the cloud from different NASA data centers, are also made available to most POCLOUD data, including services for subsetting, Zarr reformatting, and regridding. Users are encouraged to find helpful tutorials, demos and recipes from PO.DAAC Cloud Data page, such as, the powerful and efficient podaac-data-subscriber script, tutorials on OPeNDAP, Amazon S3 bucket direct access, and many more cloud data applications.
