Published: May 2022

Abstract. While a large cryosphere may be a necessary boundary condition for millennial-scale events to persist, a growing body of evidence from previous
interglacial periods suggests that high-magnitude climate events are possible during low-cryosphere climate states. However, the full spectrum of
variability, and the antecedent conditions under which such variability can occur, have not been fully described. As a result, the mechanisms
generating high-magnitude climate variability during low-cryosphere boundary conditions remain unclear. In this study, high-resolution climate
records from Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) site 610 are used to portray the North Atlantic climate's progression through low ice, boundary conditions of Marine Isotope Stage
(MIS) 11c into the glacial inception. We show that this period is marked by two climate events displaying rapid shifts in both deep overflow and
surface climate. The reorganization between Polar Water and Atlantic Water at subpolar latitudes appears to accompany changes in the flow of deep water
emanating from the Nordic Seas, regardless of magnitude or boundary conditions. Further, during both intermediate and low ice boundary conditions,
we find that a reduction in deep water precedes surface hydrographic change. The existence of surface and deep-ocean events, with similar
magnitudes, abruptness, and surface–deep phasing, advances our mechanistic understanding of, and elucidates antecedent conditions that can lead to,
high-magnitude climate instability.

Published: May 2022

Abstract. Global sea level rise (SLR) may impose substantial economic costs to coastal communities worldwide, but characterizing its global impact remains challenging because SLR costs depend heavily on natural characteristics and human investments at each location—including topography, the spatial distribution of assets, and local adaptation decisions. To date, several impact models have been developed to estimate global costs of SLR, yet the limited availability of open-source and modular platforms that easily ingest up-to-date socioeconomic and physical data sources limits the ability of existing systems to transparently incorporate new insights. In this paper, we present a modular open-source platform designed to address this need, providing end-to-end transparency from global input data to a scalable least-cost optimization framework that estimates adaptation and net SLR costs for nearly 10,000 global coastline segments and administrative regions. Our approach accounts both for uncertainty in the magnitude of global SLR and spatial variability in local relative sea level rise. Using this platform, we evaluate costs across 110 possible socioeconomic and SLR trajectories in the 21st century. We find annual global SLR costs of $180 billion to $200 billion in 2100 assuming optimal adaptation, moderate emissions (RCP 4.5) and middle-of-the-road (SSP 2) socioeconomic trajectories. Under the highest SLR scenarios modeled, this value ranges from $400 billion to $520 billion. We make this platform publicly available in an effort to spur research collaboration and support decision-making, with segment level physical and socioeconomic input characteristics provided at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6449231, source code for this dataset at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6456115, the modeling framework at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6453099, and model results at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6014086.

Abstract. Water-soluble and water-insoluble organic aerosol (WSOA and WIOA) constitute a large fraction of fine particles in winter in northern China, yet our understanding of their sources and processes are still limited. Here we have a comprehensive characterization of WSOA in cold season in Beijing. Particularly, we present the first mass spectral characterization of WIOA by integrating online and offline organic aerosol measurements from a high-resolution aerosol mass spectrometer. Our results showed that WSOA on average accounted for 59 % of the total OA and comprised dominantly secondary OA (SOA, 69 %). The WSOA composition showed significant changes during the transition season from autumn to winter. While the photochemical-related SOA dominated WSOA (51 %) in early November, the oxidized SOA from biomass burning increased substantially from 8 % to 29 % during the heating season. Comparatively, local primary OA dominantly from cooking aerosol contributed the major fraction of WSOA during clean periods. WIOA showed largely different spectral patterns from WSOA which were characterized by prominent hydrocarbon ions series and low oxygen-to-carbon (O / C = 0.19) and organic mass-to-organic carbon ratio (OM / OC = 1.39). The nighttime WIOA showed less oxidized properties (O / C = 0.16 vs. 0.24) with more pronounced polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) signals than daytime, indicating the impacts of enhanced coal combustion emissions on WIOA. The evolution process of WSOA and WIOA was further demonstrated by the triangle plot of f44 (fraction of m/z 44 in OA) vs. f43, f44 vs. f60, and the Van Krevelen diagram (H / C vs. O / C). We also found more oxidized WSOA and an increased contribution of SOA in WSOA compared with previous winter studies in Beijing, indicating that the changes in OA composition due to clean air action have affected the sources and properties of WSOA.
CCdownscaling: an open-source Python package for multivariable statistical climate model downscaling V1.0
Authors: Polasky Andrew D. , Evans Jenni L. , Fuentes Jose D.
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Statistical downscaling methods provide an essential bridge between low resolution global climate models and localized information needed by decision makers. As the demand for localized climate information continues to grow to make projections for a wide variety of applications, the need for software that can provide this sort of downscaled data grows with it. The CCdownscaling package described in the article provides a number of downscaling methods, including Self Organizing Maps, as well as a number of evaluation metrics for assessing downscale model skill. In this article, we describe the features of the CCdownscaling package, and show an example use case for downscaling temperature and precipitation. It is open-source and freely available for use in generating downscaled projections.

Published: May 2022

Abstract. Climate warming has significantly changed the hydrological cycle
in cold regions, especially in areas with permafrost or seasonal frost.
Groundwater flow and its interactions with surface water are essential
components of the hydrological process. However, few studies or modeling
works have been based on long-term field observations of groundwater level,
temperature, hydrogeochemistry, or isotopic tracers from boreholes due to
obstacles such as remote locations, limited infrastructure, and harsh work
conditions. In the Hulugou catchment, an alpine catchment in the headwater
region of the Heihe River on the northern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP), we
drilled four sets of depth-specific wells and monitored the groundwater
levels and temperatures at different depths. Surface water (including river
water, glacier meltwater, and snow meltwater), precipitation, groundwater
from boreholes, spring water, and soil water were sampled to measure the
abundances of major and minor elements, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and
stable and radioactive isotopes at 64 sites. This study provides a dataset
of these groundwater parameters spanning 6 consecutive years of
monitoring/measurements. These data can be used to investigate groundwater
flow processes and groundwater–surface water interactions on the QTP under
global climate change. The dataset provided in this paper can be obtained at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6296057 (Ma et al.,

Improving the electrical and structural stability of highly piezoresistive nickel–carbon sensor thin films
Authors: Schultes Günter , Cerino Mario , Lellig Angela , Koch Marcus
Published: May 2022

Abstract. The family of sputter deposited granular metal-based
carbon-containing sensor films is known for their high sensitivity
transforming force-dependent strain into electrical resistance change. Among
them nickel–carbon thin films possess a gauge factor of up to 30, compared
to only 2 for traditional sensor films of metal alloys. This high
sensitivity is based on disordered interparticle tunneling through barriers
of graphite-like carbon walls between metal–carbon particles of columnar
shape. Force and pressure sensors would benefit a lot from the elevated
piezoresistivity. A disadvantage, however, is a disturbing temporal creep
and drift of the resistance under load and temperature. This contribution
shows how to stabilize such sensor films. A significant stabilization is
achieved by partially replacing nickel with chromium, albeit at the expense
of sensitivity. The more chromium used in these NixCr1−x-C layers,
the higher the optimum annealing temperature can be selected and the better
the electrical stabilization. A good compromise while maintaining
sensitivities well above the standard of 2 is identified for films with
x=0.5 to 0.9, stabilized by optimized temperature treatments. The
stabilizing effect of chromium is revealed by transmission electron
microscopy with elemental analysis. The post-annealing drives segregation
processes in the layer material. While the interior of the layer is depleted
of chromium and carbon, boundary layers are formed. Chromium is enriched
near the surface boundary, oxidized in air and forms chromium-rich oxide
sub-layers, which are chemically very stable and protect against further
reactions and corrosion. As a result, creep and drift errors are greatly
reduced, so that the optimized sensor coatings are now suitable for
widespread use.
Synoptic control over winter snowfall variability observed in a remote site of Apennine Mountains (Italy), 1884–2015
Authors: Capozzi Vincenzo , De Vivo Carmela , Budillon Giorgio
Published: May 2022

Abstract. This work presents a new, very long snowfall time series collected
in a remote site of Italian Apennine mountains (Montevergine Observatory,
1280 m above sea level). After a careful check, based on quality control
tests and homogenization procedures, the available data (i.e. daily height
of new snow) have been aggregated over winter season
(December–February) to study the long-term variability for the period
1884–2020. The main evidence emerging from this analysis lies in (i) the
strong interannual variability of winter snowfall amounts, (ii) the
absence of a relevant trend from the late 19th century to the mid-1970s, (iii) the strong reduction in the snowfall amount and frequency of occurrence from
the mid-1970s to the end of the 1990s and (iv) the increase in average snowfall
amount and frequency of occurrence in the past 20 years. Moreover, this study shed light on the relationship between the snowfall
variability observed in Montevergine and the large-scale atmospheric
circulation. Six different synoptic types, describing the meteorological
scenarios triggering the snow events in the study area, have been identified
by means of a cluster analysis, using two essential atmospheric variables,
the 500 hPa geopotential height and the sea level pressure (both retrieved
from the third version of the Twentieth Century Reanalysis dataset, which is
available for the 1884–2015 period). Such patterns trace out scenarios
characterized by the presence of a blocking high-pressure anomaly over
Scandinavia or the North Atlantic and by a cold air outbreak involving both
maritime and continental cold air masses. A further analysis demonstrates
that the identified synoptic types are strongly related with different
teleconnection patterns, i.e. the Arctic Oscillation (AO), the Eastern
Atlantic Western Russia (EAWR), the Eastern Mediterranean Pattern (EMP), the
North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the Scandinavian pattern (SCAND), that
govern the European winter atmospheric variability. The relevant decline in
snowfall frequency and amounts between the 1970s and 1990s can be mainly
ascribed to the strong positive trend of AO and NAO indices, which
determined, in turn, a decrease in the incidence of patterns associated with the advection, in central Mediterranean area, of moist and cold arctic
maritime air masses. The recent increase in average snowfall amounts can be
explained by the reverse trend of the AO index and by the prevalence of a neutral
or negative EAWR pattern.

Authors: Belyakova I.S. , Tarasochkina D.S.
Published: May 2022

Morbidity is one of the indicators of population health. In recent years, there has been an increase in the incidence of children, an increase in chronic diseases. The article analyzes the dynamics of the incidence of cadets in the Astrakhan region. As a result of the study, a persistent trend was revealed to increase the number of children included in the first health group. The number of children included in the third health group has decreased. In the structure of the incidence of ophthalmic pathology, the dominant place is occupied by myopia and spasm of accommodation. There is also a low prevalence of gastrointestinal tract morbidity among cadets. The results obtained point to the positive impact of sports and drill load on the development of the musculoskeletal system of children. Sports combat training contributes to the adequate development of the muscular system, which, of course, is the prevention of posture disorders and harmonious development.

Descubriendo qué estrategias de dialogicidad y posicionamiento se emplean en las introducciones y conclusiones de trabajos fin de grado
Authors: Álvarez Álvarez Manuela , Romero González Alba Naroa
Published: May 2022

Con el trabajo fin de grado se espera que los estudiantes sean capaces de ir más allá de “decir el conocimiento”, dialogando con los interlocutores y posicionándose respecto a los contenidos de los que hablan. Este estudio se propone analizar estas dimensiones interactivas del texto examinando, según la teorización del metadiscurso, 116 introducciones y conclusiones de TFG de las áreas de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas, Ciencias de la Salud y de la Educación producidos en castellano entre los años 2017 y 2019. Los resultados aportan evidencias de que en los TFG se reconoce la presencia del lector, pero la interacción con él parece requerir una mayor armonización del posicionamiento con el que se presentan los juicios u opiniones y una relación dialógica que asegure una negociación interpersonal cuidadosa. De este conocimiento se derivan implicaciones didácticas concretas para la mejora de la formación en comunicación académica de los universitarios.

Con un título más que sugerente, Capitalismo Sugar Daddy. La cara oculta de la nueva economía, Peter Fleming nos ofrece un retrato de las principales tendencias que se dan en el mundo de los negocios hoy. Dicho autor inicia su obra a partir del caso de Harvey Weinstein, que vio la luz en octubre de 2017 (y que dio lugar al conocido movimiento #MeToo), que le sirve como puerta de entrada al tema central de su obra: las consecuencias sociales de la progresiva desformalización del capitalismo occidental relacionado con el individualismo de mercado, bases centrales de la economía neoclásica. Si bien cuestiones como el acoso o abuso sexual no son el tema central de esta obra, sirven a Fleming para subrayar la progresiva desaparición de la oficialidad y la protección reglamentaria del mundo de los negocios, para dar paso a un momento histórico donde las conexiones, los favoritismos y el tráfico de influencias se han convertido en una pieza clave de la economía y el trabajo, propiciando un mundo laboral plagado de situaciones extremas.

Published: May 2022

Word of Mouth (WOM) is one of the most frequently used term in the modern technology driven society. WOM is a means of direct interaction among consumers, influencing consumption-related decisions. With the massive expansion of internet, social-media and mobile phones, traditional WOM has given way to electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM). The significance of eWOM lies in its availability to a wider range of audience, though scattered geographically, connected virtually. Studies show that eWOM can influence travel-related decisions of potential tourists. Also known as user-generated content (UGC), eWOM available through social media and other similar platforms expands the ability of travellers to gather information, choose destinations and tour related services, understand the experiences of previous travellers and make better choices. Literature evidences show that the impact of eWOM on consumer decision making in tourism is greater than that of traditional face-to-face WOM communication. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of eWOM message characteristics (MC) on its perceived usefulness (PU) among the consumers, in the context of international tourism. The data was gathered applying a validated survey questionnaire from 833 respondents in the city of Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.

Fragrant Frontier - Global Spice Entanglements from the Sino-Vietnamese Uplands
Authors: Derks Annuska , Rousseau JeanJean-François
Published: May 2022

Since its inception over two millennia ago, the spice trade has connected and transformed the environments, politics, cultures, and cuisines of vastly different societies around the world. The ‘magical’ qualities of spices mean they offer more than a mere food flavoring, often evoking memories of childhood events or specific festivals. Although spices are frequently found in our kitchen cupboards, how they get there has something of a mythical allure. In this ethnographically rich and insightful study, the authors embark on a journey of demystification that starts in the Sino-Vietnamese uplands with three spices – star anise, black cardamom, and cassia (cinnamon) – and ends on dining tables across the globe. This book foregrounds the experiences of ethnic minority farmers cultivating these spices, highlighting nuanced entanglements among livelihoods, environment, ethnic identity, and external pressures, as well as other factors at play. It then investigates the complex commodity chains that move and transform these spices from upland smallholdings and forests in this frontier to global markets, mapping the flows of spices, identifying the numerous actors involved, and teasing out critical power imbalances. Finally, it focuses on value-creation and the commoditization of these spices across a spectrum of people and places. This rich and carefully integrated volume offers new insights into upland frontier livelihoods and the ongoing implications of the contemporary agrarian transition. Moreover, it bridges the gap in our knowledge regarding how these specific spices, cultivated for centuries in the mountainous Sino-Vietnamese uplands, become everyday ingredients in Global North food, cosmetics, and medicines. Links to online resources, including story maps, provide further insights and visual highlights.

O ensino superior brasileiro de Computação está sofrendo uma grande pressão nesta fase que se encaminha para uma pós-pandemia. Os sintomas de um desalinhamento com as necessidades da sociedade e das empresas de Computação já vinham sendo percebidos, e a pandemia, com a consolidação de formas de trabalho híbrido, reforçou essa percepção. A formação tradicional em Computação seguiu de perto o modelo da Engenharia, um período de dois anos com conteúdos fundamentais relacionados com matemática, física e química, eventualmente desenho. Em Computação, são tratados conceitos fundamentais como teoria da computação, algoritmos, estruturas de dados e arquitetura de computadores. O resultado é que, apenas ao final deste longo período, os estudantes estão aptos a começar sua profissionalização. Em paralelo com a formação acadêmica tradicional realizada pelas faculdades e universidades, surgem as ditas faculdades de empresas e bootcamps onde encontramos percepções de que o essencial são as competências adquiridas e não um título acadêmico. Essa é a primeira indicação de desalinhamento. Entendemos que é importante a base teórica (que independe de tecnologia) oferecida pelas universidades, mas reconhecemos este desalinhamento junto ao mercado de trabalho.Link para o vídeo da apresentação: https://youtu.be/4Ai9tMCymeg

Published: May 2022

Durante a execução do Projeto Corte de Lovelace do CEFOR-IFES, que tem como proposta resgatar e ampliar a presença feminina nas carreiras de computação através insights inovadores, percebeu-se uma grande dificuldade discente na compreensão e utilização da lógica proposicional nas expressões lógicas de programação, um problema que pode desestimular o aluno pelos cursos ofertados e, consequentemente, pela área tecnológica. Para promover o engajamento e interesse discente, bem como facilitar e potencializar o ensino e a aprendizagem da lógica proposicional aplicável em programação, de modo dinâmico, interativo e motivacional, utilizando-se da própria tecnologia como mediadora, este trabalho está desenvolvendo o jogo-curso "Boolace - a Lógica do Reino de Lovelace", aliando o entretenimento à educação. Trata-se uma pesquisa qualitativa e descritiva, de natureza aplicada, utilizando-se dos procedimentos das pesquisas bibliográfica e de avaliação.Link para o vídeo da apresentação: https://youtu.be/JCP6q7_fb2U

CollabProg: Um Repositório Colaborativo Aberto para Apoiar na Adoção de Metodologias Ativas no Ensino de Programação
Authors: Calderon Ivanilse , Silva Williamson , Feitosa Eduardo
Published: May 2022

O ensino de programação é um desafio, pois requer que o docente direcione o estudante ao desenvolvimento de diferentes habilidades, tais como abstração do mundo real, resolução de problemas, raciocínio lógico. No entanto, a abordagem tradicional de ensino utilizada não é eficaz para isso. Nesse sentido, as Metodologias Ativas (MAs) vêm sendo adotadas pelos docentes, pois possibilitam o desenvolvimento de habilidades, reflexão sobre as práticas realizadas, explorar atitudes, valores pessoais e o aprender-fazendo. O objetivo desta pesquisa é apoiar os docentes na adoção de MAs no ensino de programação. A metodologia utilizada nesta pesquisa é baseada nas diretrizes do Design Science Research que guiará a condução dos estudos, a criação e avaliação do artefato proposto. A principal contribuição para a base de conhecimento é o próprio repositório colaborativo aberto para apoiar o docente na adoção de MAs no ensino de programação, a metodologia da pesquisa usada neste trabalho e o design dos estudos experimentais conduzidos.

Este projeto de pesquisa busca inicialmente investigar o panorama do ensino de Interação Humano-Computador (IHC) nos cursos de graduação em computação brasileiros. Essa investigação será realizada a partir dos anais do Workshop sobre o Ensino de IHC (WEIHC). A partir dos resultados obtidos, serão selecionados elementos metodológicos que servirão de base para elaboração de um plano de ensino que posteriormente norteará as aulas de IHC em uma turma do curso de Bacharelado em Sistemas de Informação de uma instituição de ensino superior. Como resultado dessa aplicação, espera-se contribuir no processo de ensino e aprendizagem da disciplina de IHC em cursos de graduação em Computação, por meio de recomendações de melhores práticas.
Die Staatstheorie des Bundesverfassungsgerichts und Europa
Authors: van Ooyen Robert Chr.
Published: May 2022

With the Treaty of Lisbon, the Second Senate of the German Constitutional Court intensified its judgements with regard to Europe and in its recent rulings on rescuing the euro and the electoral threshold in EU elections emphasised its belief in a form of democracy based on the idea that the nation and the state supersede everything else, a standpoint which it has adopted since the Treaty of Maastricht. With the right to be forgotten I and II, the First Senate has now also reacted to the European Court of Justice by suddenly committing itself to being the ‘guardian’ of European fundamental human rights and even threatening to revert to its old ‘European-friendly’ Solange II rulings.

This book’s principal argument is that all this reveals the Europhobic nature of the German Constitutional Court’s state theory, which results from outdated traditions in the German doctrine of constitutional law and from a lack of democratic theory.

The recent ECB decisions on the Public Sector Purchase Programme (PSPP) from May 2020 are just some of new additions to the ninth edition of this book.

Background: Academic cynicism means feeling tired because of demands and being pessimistic and unwilling about the texts and assignments. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the correlation among academic cynicism and academic variables among Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences (KUMS) students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 288 KUMS students in 2018, who were collected using simple random sampling method proportional to the selected sample size. The data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed by nonparametric methods using SPSS Version 16. Results: The mean score of academic cynicism was as much as 11.48 ± 3.50, indicating that the participants obtained 57.4% of the maximum score of academic cynicism. According to results, there was a significant and inverse correlation among academic cynicism and academic achievement (r = -0.195). The mean rank of academic cynicism was significantly higher among MD students (P = 0.001) and dentistry (P = 0.008). Conclusions: Students received more than half of the possible score for academic cynicism, which was significant and inversely affected academic achievement. Therefore, developing, implementing, and evaluating interventions are essential to prevent and reduce academic cynicism among students.
Global distribution systems versus new distribution capability and Internet of things
Authors: Štilić Anđelka , Nicić Miloš , Njeguš Angelina
Published: May 2022

In the present environment, to access data and processes, each airline provides its interface and establishes its process flows. Aggregation of direct connect platforms based on NDC, including LCC, necessitates a transformation in the traditional business model of global distribution systems. There is a relationship between airline service qualities and overall service quality and/or satisfaction and promoted NDC was and continues to be the foundation for developing new customer experience for air carriers' products throughout all retail channels, and even a tool for broadening air carrier internet sites' functionalities to all retail channels. The trend of integrating the Internet connectivity into previously unconnected "things" accelerates the demand for easy access to services via external APIs. The authors envisioned that the Tourism 4.0 technologies would play a key role in the process of evolution of the tourist industry and that asking AI assistants to book a holiday and display virtual reality amenities on a TV screen to help make an informed or inspired selection would soon be functional reality. Full implementation of the NDC standard and the necessity to integrate "4.0 technology" services in the booking processes was foreseen through the conducted survey as the opportunity for additional revenue. The utilisation of the survey's results could be seen as a starting point for uncovering and assessing features, attitudes, and behaviours in tourism industry for decision-making objectives of the various tourism companies. The paper's conclusion is stating that travel and tourism industries must explore ways to proactively overturn decades of outdated travel distribution processes, and even though the full use of ever-developing technology in the travel and aviation industry is still in the future, they must plan ahead for these significant turning points.
Models of wages and incentives contracts in the conditions of information asymmetry on the labor market
Authors: Trivić Nada , Todić Bojana
Published: May 2022

The theoretical model of a perfectly competitive market leads to the efficient allocation of resources, and one of the assumptions of that model is complete information of market participants. In reality, however, market participants are usually asymmetrically informed. The goal of this analysis is to point out the fact that asymmetric information is almost ubiquitous, and also to point out the consequences of asymmetric information and the possibility of their elimination or mitigation. In addition, the research aim also reflects in achieving a theoretical confirmation of the presence of such asymmetric information and its consequences on the labor market as well, and in an attempt to mathematically formalize such markets, especially the labor market, by modeling the method of calculating wages and the employer's objective function as an opportunity to overcome the principal-agent problem. The precisely defined research goals determined the structure of the paper, as well as the methodological tools. In order to test and prove the defined research hypotheses in this study and to realize the defined research goals of the study, the methods of theoretical analysis, abstraction, comparison, concretization, generalization, and critical evaluation are used.
