A new machine-learning-based analysis for improving satellite-retrieved atmospheric composition data: OMI SO2 as an example
Authors: Li Can , Joiner Joanna , Liu Fei , Krotkov Nickolay A. , Fioletov Vitali , McLinden Chris
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Despite recent progress, satellite retrievals of
anthropogenic SO2 still suffer from relatively low signal-to-noise
ratios. In this study, we demonstrate a new machine learning data analysis
method to improve the quality of satellite SO2 products. In the absence
of large ground-truth datasets for SO2, we start from SO2 slant
column densities (SCDs) retrieved from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)
using a data-driven, physically based algorithm and calculate the ratio
between the SCD and the root mean square (rms) of the fitting residuals for
each pixel. To build the training data, we select presumably clean pixels
with small SCD / rms ratios (SRRs) and set their target SCDs to zero. For polluted pixels with relatively large SRRs, we set the target to the
original retrieved SCDs. We then train neural networks (NNs) to reproduce
the target SCDs using predictors including SRRs for individual pixels, solar zenith, viewing zenith and phase angles, scene reflectivity, and O3 column amounts, as well as the monthly mean SRRs. For data analysis, we employ two NNs: (1) one trained daily to produce analyzed SO2 SCDs for polluted pixels each day and (2) the other trained once every month to produce analyzed SCDs for less polluted pixels for the entire month. Test results for 2005 show that our method can significantly reduce noise and artifacts over background regions. Over polluted areas, the monthly mean NN-analyzed and original SCDs generally agree to within ±15 %, indicating that our method can retain SO2 signals in the original retrievals except for large volcanic eruptions. This is further confirmed by running both the NN-analyzed and original SCDs through a top-down emission algorithm to estimate the annual SO2 emissions for ∼500 anthropogenic sources, with the two datasets yielding similar results. We also explore two alternative approaches to the NN-based analysis method. In one, we employ a simple linear interpolation model to
analyze the original SCD retrievals. In the other, we develop a PCA–NN
algorithm that uses OMI measured radiances, transformed and
dimension-reduced with a principal component analysis (PCA) technique, as
inputs to NNs for SO2 SCD retrievals. While the linear model and the
PCA–NN algorithm can reduce retrieval noise, they both underestimate
SO2 over polluted areas. Overall, the results presented here
demonstrate that our new data analysis method can significantly improve the
quality of existing OMI SO2 retrievals. The method can potentially be
adapted for other sensors and/or species and enhance the value of satellite
data in air quality research and applications.
Gridded 5 arcmin datasets for simultaneously farm-size-specific and crop-specific harvested areas in 56 countries
Authors: Su Han , Willaarts Bárbara , Luna-Gonzalez Diana , Krol Maarten S. , Hogeboom Rick J.
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Farms are not homogeneous. Smaller farms generally have different planted
crops, yields, agricultural inputs, and irrigation applications compared to
larger farms. However, gridded farm-size-specific data that are moreover
crop specific, are currently lacking. This obscures our understanding of
differences between small-scale and large-scale farms, e.g., with respect to
climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies, contribution to (local)
food security, and water consumption patterns. This study fills a
significant part of the current data gap, by developing high-resolution
gridded, simultaneously farm-size-specific and crop-specific datasets of harvested
areas for 56 countries (i.e., covering about half the global cropland).
Hereto, we downscaled the most complete global direct measurements of farm
size and crop type by compiling state of the art datasets, including crop
maps, cropland extent maps, and dominant field size distribution,
representative for the year 2010. Using two different crop map sources, we
were able to produce two new 5 arcmin gridded datasets on simultaneously
derived farm-size-specific and crop-specific harvested areas: one for 11 farm sizes,
27 crops, and 2 farming systems, and one for 11 farm sizes, 42 crops, and 4
farming systems. In line with previous findings, our resulting datasets show
major differences in planted crops and irrigated area (%) between farm
sizes. Consistency between our resulting datasets and (i) observations from
satellite images on farm-size-specific oil palm, (ii) household surveys on
the farm-size-specific irrigated area (%), and (iii) previous studies that
mapped noncrop-specific farm sizes and support the validity of our datasets.
Although at grid level some uncertainties remain to be overcome,
particularly those stemming from uncertainties in crop maps, results at
country level seem robust. Source data, code, and resulting datasets are
open access and freely available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6976249

Impacts of the proposal of the CNG2020 strategy on aircraft emissions of China–foreign routes
Authors: Cui Qiang , Lei Yilin , Chen Bin
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Aviation emission accounting is the key to establishing
market measures to control aviation pollutant emissions. Based on the fuel
percentage method (FPM), this paper applies the improved BFFM2-FOA-FPM (Boeing Fuel Flow Method 2–First Order Approximation FPM) to calculate the emissions of six pollutants (CO2, CO, HC, NOx,
SO2, and PM2.5) between Chinese and foreign cities from 2014 to 2019,
including CCD (climbing, cruising, and descending) emissions and LTO (landing and
take-off) emissions. The error rate between the calculated results and the
official data is about 2.75 %. The results show that the emissions of six
pollutants changed before and after the proposal of the “Carbon Neutral
Growth 2020” strategy (CNG2020 strategy). Although the total amount has
increased, the average emission per tonne-kilometer of CO2, CO, HC, NOx, SO2,
and PM2.5 has decreased by 17.77 %, 17.26 %, 25.15 %, 14.32 %,
17.77 %, and 16.35 %, respectively. The results of this paper can
provide a data basis and method reference for implementing the CNG2020
strategy and realizing global carbon emission reduction goals. The dataset
is available from https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.20071751.v1 (Cui.,

A mixed finite element discretisation of the shallow water equations
Authors: Kent James , Melvin Thomas , Wimmer Golo Albert
Published: September 2022

Abstract. This paper introduces a mixed finite-element shallow water model on the sphere. The mixed finite-element approach is used as it has been shown to be both accurate and highly scalable for parallel architecture. Key features of the model are an iterated semi-implicit time stepping scheme, a finite-volume transport scheme, and the cubed sphere grid. The model is tested on a number of standard spherical shallow water test cases. Results show that the model produces similar results to other shallow water models in the literature.
Global assessment of subnational drought impact based on the Geocoded Disasters dataset and land reanalysis
Authors: Kageyama Yuya , Sawada Yohei
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Despite the importance of a link between hydrometeorological drought hazards and their socioeconomic impact, the link at a subnational level has yet to be evaluated due to the lack of precise subnational information on disaster locations. Using the newly developed Geocoded
Disasters (GDIS) dataset, we examined whether the subnational socioeconomic drought impact information in GDIS could be represented by hydrometeorological hazards quantified from soil moisture in ERA5-Land during 1964–2018. We found that the socioeconomic drought impacts shown in GDIS were generally represented by drought hazards quantified from ERA5-Land soil moisture. Our comparison between GDIS and ERA5-Land could benefit the quantification of vulnerability to drought, and we found that sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia were vulnerable to drought, while North America and Europe were less vulnerable to drought. Both GDIS and ERA5-Land indicated that the Horn of Africa, northern China, and western India were
drought-prone areas. Since it is difficult for national-level analyses to accurately identify the locations of drought-prone areas, especially in
large countries such as China and India, our analysis clarifies the importance of the use of subnational disaster information.
Drone-based ground-penetrating radar (GPR) application to snow hydrology
Authors: Valence Eole , Baraer Michel , Rosa Eric , Barbecot Florent , Monty Chloe
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Seasonal snowpack deeply influences the distribution of
meltwater among watercourses and groundwater. During rain-on-snow (ROS)
events, the structure and properties of the different snow and ice layers
dictate the quantity and timing of water flowing out of the snowpack,
increasing the risk of flooding and ice jams. With ongoing climate change, a
better understanding of the processes and internal properties influencing
snowpack outflows is needed to predict the hydrological consequences of
winter melting episodes and increases in the frequency of ROS events. This
study develops a multi-method approach to monitor the key snowpack
properties in a non-mountainous environment in a repeated and
non-destructive way. Snowpack evolution during the winter of 2020–2021 was
evaluated using a drone-based, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) coupled with
photogrammetry surveys conducted at the Ste-Marthe experimental watershed
in Quebec, Canada. Drone-based surveys were performed over a 200 m2
area with a flat and a sloped section. In addition, time domain
reflectometry (TDR) measurements were used to follow water flow through the
snowpack and identify drivers of the changes in snowpack conditions, as
observed in the drone-based surveys. The experimental watershed is equipped with state-of-the-art automatic
weather stations that, together with weekly snow pit measurements over the
ablation period, served as a reference for the multi-method monitoring
approach. Drone surveys conducted on a weekly basis were used to generate
georeferenced snow depth, density, snow water equivalent and bulk liquid
water content maps. Despite some limitations, the results show that the combination of drone-based GPR, photogrammetric surveys and TDR is very promising for assessing
the spatiotemporal evolution of the key hydrological characteristics of the
snowpack. For instance, the tested method allowed for measuring marked
differences in snow pack behaviour between the first and second weeks of the
ablation period. A ROS event that occurred during the first week did not
generate significant changes in snow pack density, liquid water content and
water equivalent, while another one that happened in the second week of
ablation generated changes in all three variables. After the second week of
ablation, differences in density, liquid water
content (LWC) and snow water equivalent (SWE) between the flat and the
sloped sections of the study area were detected by the drone-based GPR
measurements. Comparison between different events was made possible by the
contact-free nature of the drone-based measurements.
Cultural Humility Training for Mentors: Lessons Learned and Implications for Youth Programs
Authors: Anderson Amy J. , Riordan April , Smith Lavasha , Hillard Bridget , Sánchez Bernadette
Published: September 2022

The current paper presents lessons learned from a research-to-practice partnership between mentoring program practitioners and researchers that focused on the development and implementation of a cultural humility training for volunteer mentors. Using multiple data sources (e.g., training materials, field notes, mentor surveys), we present a description of the research-to-practice partnership and the Culturally Smart Relationships pilot training content. We generate practice-oriented lessons to inform future cultural humility training work with staff and volunteers in youth programs. Our lessons reflect recommendations that emerged from five project phases: (a) organizational commitment to justice, equity, diversity, inclusion; (b) training curriculum and logistical planning; (c) “To Zoom, or not to Zoom''; (d) facilitation of the training; and (e) post-training and ongoing support. The pilot training content and lessons learned have implications for youth programs by elucidating training as one component of a broader approach for equity in youth developmental program practice.

Authors: Reed April H. , Angolia Mark G. , Sluder Lyubov G. , Pagliari Leslie R.
Published: September 2022

Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields have been traditionally entered by men, often establishing women as underrepresented in many of these fields. This research study focuses on participants at a STEM camp for middle- and high-school girls designed to introduce them to technology. The camp was held 4 times over 3 years, with many of the participants from rural areas, underrepresented by race and economic status. Sixty camp attendees completed pre- and post-camp surveys and are referred to as the intervention group. A control group of 200 middle- and high-school girls who did not attend the camp also took the survey. This paper focuses on a subset of the survey results that sought to determine the impact on camp participants in the areas of technology self-efficacy and technology career interest as it related to management information systems (MIS). Analysis of the data collected found a significant difference in MIS self-efficacy between the intervention group and control group but no significant difference in choices of MIS-related careers. Results also include recommended improvements to STEM camp design.
Panoptikondan Omniptikona: Yeni Medya ile Dönüşen Panoptikonun Filmlerdeki Yansıması
Authors: UZAK Elanur
Published: September 2022

İktidar kavramı, insanın varoluşundan bugüne kadar gelip devamlılık arz eden, döneme göre sürekli olarak değişim ve dönüşüm gösteren bir kavramdır. İktidar, dünyada olup bitenden haberdar olan, kimi zaman bunları oluşturan fakat en önemlisi bu gelişmeleri gözetleyen güçtür. Michel Foucault, iktidar kavramı üzerinde çalışmalar yapmış, Jeremy Bentham’ın “\textit{panoptikon}” kavramını bir metafor olarak kullanarak, topluma yayılan iktidarın göstermiş olduğu değişimi ve iktidarın görünmezliğini açıklamaya çalışmıştır. Bentham’ın hapishane ve gözetleme modelinin toplumun mikro çatlaklarına değin yayıldığını düşünen Foucault; okul, hastane ve fabrikaların bu sistemle çalıştığını, iktidarın gözünün bu kurumlara yerleştiğini savunmaktadır. Fakat özellikle son 20 yılda teknoloji ve internetin hayatımızı yoğun bir biçimde işgal etmesiyle beraber gözetim küreselleşmiş ve bu gelişmelere bağlı olarak dönüşerek yeni kavramsallaştırmaların gündeme gelmesine neden olmuştur. Bilgi, eğlence ya da güvenlik amacıyla kullanılan internet çerezleri, akıllı cihazlar, televizyon, sosyal medya, kredi kartları, GPS ve yazılımların yeni bir gözetleme ve denetim ortamına işaret ettiği söylenebilir. Bu yeni gözetleme biçimi \textit{süperpanoptikon} kavramına işaret etmektedir. Televizyon ve radyo gibi araçlarla çoğunluğun azınlığı gözetlemesi ise \textit{sinoptikon} kavramıyla açıklanmaktadır. \textit{Omniptikon} ise sosyal medyada kişilerin karşılıklı olarak birbirlerini gözetlemesini ifade etmektedir. Bu çalışmada artık yaşadığımız çağı anlamak ve açıklamak bakımından kavramsal yeterliliği azalan panoptikon kavramından türeyen süperpanoptikon, sinoptikon, omniptikon gibi yeni kavramsallaştırmalar sinema filmleri üzerinden ele alınıp analiz edilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Este estudo visa à determinação da vulnerabilidade física e ambiental da zona costeira de São Miguel do Gostoso e Pedra Grande/RN antes e depois da instalação de parques eólicos. Além disso, é realizada uma análise de vulnerabilidade na linha de costa da área mencionada, levando-se em consideração as alterações espaciais concretizadas nos últimos 30 anos, análise esta que é apresentada separadamente. Calcularam-se os índices de vulnerabilidade natural (IVN) e ambiental (IVA) por meio de análises espaciais baseadas em mapas temáticos das variáveis do meio físico e antrópico, conforme métodos de análise multicritérios hierarquizada e de redução de dimensionalidade por processo analítico hierárquico (PAH) e pela análise de componentes principais (ACP). As vulnerabilidades alta e muito alta, somadas, apresentaram proporções entre 18 e 30% em todos os cenários do IVN e IVA. O índice de vulnerabilidade costeira (IVC) foi definido por dois métodos para três cenários de aumento do nível do mar estabelecidos pelo Painel Intergovernamental de Mudanças Climáticas (IPCC): um com seis variáveis físicas e hidrodinâmicas, e outro que inclui, além destas, outras três variáveis de ação antrópica. Para todos os cenários, toda a extensão da linha de costa mostrase, majoritariamente, com vulnerabilidades média e alta. Conclui-se que a implantação do complexo de parques eólicos contribuiu para o aumento da vulnerabilidade dos ecossistemas locais nos três índices avaliados, mas não foi o fator preponderante para a definição do grau de vulnerabilidade do IVC.

IS EXPORT OF LABOR A THREAT OR OPPORTUNITY: THE CASE OF BAGONG BAYANI (NEW HEROES)
Authors: KOÇAKOĞLU Mehmet Ali
Published: September 2022

The term Dutch Disease, which is used to describe the situation that predicts that a newly discovered natural resource may adversely affect the country's economy when not used with the right economic policies, entered the literature for the first time in November 1977. It was determined that the new natural resource discovered by the Netherlands hurt the country's economy. Not only new natural resources but also tourism incomes, foreign direct investments, or labor exports can cause Dutch disease in some countries such as the Philippines, which is the subject of our study. Workers' remittances abroad as a source of Dutch disease differ from other natural sources in that the source of income is human labor. In this study, Dutch Disease was determined by analyzing the current economic structure in the Philippines with econometric methods.

The justification for the Web-based Food Requesting System is to repurpose the ongoing conventional structure with the aid of digital resources and unquestionable PC frameworks, accomplishing their fundamentals so their vital data and information can be effectively managed for an extended timeframe with concise admittance to and control of something almost identical. The typical programming and equipment are fairly accessible and simple to deal with. The Web-based Food Requesting Structure, as illustrated above, might generate a genuinely free, confidential, robust, and rapid organisational technique. It may help the customer focus on their complex projects rather than just the bookkeeping. Moreover, it will support the partnership with improved resource utilisation. The association may remain conscious of mechanised records without unnecessary portions. That says that one need not be connected with information that isn't important while having the option to show up at the data. The point is to streamline and automate its ongoing conventional architecture with the assistance of digital kinds of stuff as well as certain PC programming, satisfying their prerequisites so their significant data or information can be taken care of for a more extensive duration with the streamlined overseeing of something practically the same. Basically, the attempt demonstrates how to supervise for superior execution and greater client organisation.

Published: September 2022

Aim of study: Wild mushrooms are among the most widespread non-wood forest products in the Mediterranean region contributing to the rural economies. However, the wild mushroom sector still faces problems along its supply chain that can compromise its future in a scenario of increasing demand. The aim of this study was to analyse the current epigeous wild mushroom sector.
Area of study: Representative countries of the Mediterranean region: Spain, France, Italy, Croatia and Greece.
Materials and methods: The analysis was carried out through a structured Delphi survey conducted in two rounds, with a questionnaire divided into four groups: 1) supply chain description, 2) sectorial SWOT analysis, 3) future challenges and 4) sectorial resilience increase. The Delphi survey started with the selection of an expert panel that included 14 representatives of the wild mushroom supply chain such as forest owners, mushroom pickers, processing industry and consumers.
Main results: The results obtained from the expert panel confirmed the complexity of the wild mushroom supply chain with the following sectorial challenges: i) Traceability and sustainability is fundamental for the final consumer, ii) Sectorial administration should be more coordinated, iii) Mushroom picking should be regulated, as the grey market will decrease.
Research highlights: The study identified the most important actions that will strengthen the links among sectorial actors and interconnect gastronomy with mushrooms sector. The creation of a common EU list of commercial mushroom species and the development of a taxation system together with the product traceability were also addressed.

Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE: With the recent surge in telepsychiatry utilization, it is important to study the effectiveness of this virtual modality. METHOD: To determine if telemedicine visits were effective in keeping psychiatric patients stable, a retrospective study was performed in an outpatient behavioral health setting using the OQ®45.2/Y-OQ® 30.2 assessment tool, which assesses patient reported outcomes across areas of functioning. To qualify for this study, patients needed at least two OQ scores with one being prior to the onset of telepsychiatry care and one being after returning to in-person care. RESULTS: 51.1% of adults (n=176) improved or remained the same, whereas 48.8% deteriorated. Results indicated that 50.0% of youth (n=22) improved or remained the same, whereas 50% deteriorated. There were no significant differences in OQ scores between gender, ethnicity, adult age groups, nor number of visits. There were significant differences in adult OQ scores between payer types, and youth OQ scores between different races. CONCLUSION: It is important to note that this study was conducted during the COVID-19 Pandemic, where, naturally, many individuals were facing hardships; therefore, to improve or remain the same during the pandemic is still an accomplishment. By assessing total OQ scores among telemedicine patients, this study is showing that telepsychiatry is a very valuable resource for psychiatric patient care. Further research with a larger sample size of qualifying patients is warranted especially post pandemic.
Re-testing the psychometric properties of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19s)
Authors: Garcia Louiegi Laus
Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about multi-faceted effects, including deleterious physical and mental health concerns. Fear of COVID-19 appears to result in varying mental and psychological symptoms among those in contact to patients with the disease. The study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19s) in accurately measuring fear brought by the pandemic. One-hundred nineteen (119) hospital staff who were nurses currently working in private and/or public hospitals in Pampanga, who has had previous and/or current contact with COVID-19 patients, and are in optimal mental health state, were purposefully selected to participate in this study. Methodological research was employed to statistically test the psychometric properties of FCV-19s using exploratory factor analysis to test factor structure; Cronbach’s alpha to test internal reliability; and Pearson r with the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) to test concurrent validity. Statistical tests of the FCV-19s showed a single-factor structure, a Cronbach’s alpha score of 0.884, and a moderate correlation with DASS-21 (0.428). The present study was able to confirm the unidimensional construct, reliability, and concurrent validity of FCV-19s. Results contribute to the body of knowledge in terms of the accurate assessment of fear brought by the COVID-19.
Implementing Wiki as an Asynchronous Tool to Enhance the Grammatical and Lexical Accuracy of Saudi Secondary-School Learners’ EFL Writing
Authors: Sahla Shereen , Altalhab Sultan
Published: September 2022

Wikis have been increasingly integrated into English-writing teaching and have served as one of the Web’s most crucial social-networking tools, improving the writing of EFL learners worldwide. The purpose of this study has been to examine the positive effects of wiki-mediated collaborative writing and peer feedback on the grammatical and lexical accuracy of Saudi EFL learners’ writing. To this end, 26 female secondary-school learners participated in the study and were selected from a private school in Riyadh. They were randomly assigned to a control group (N=12) and an experimental group (N=14). Both groups were given an identical writing task. However, in the control group, members individually completed the task, which was then reviewed by the teacher, while in the experimental group, members collaboratively completed the task, which was then reviewed by peers on a wiki platform. The data collection for this study rests on pre- and post-writing tests. The obtained data suggest that collaborative writing and peer feedback on wiki significantly improved the participants’ grammatical, but not lexical, accuracy in their writing. However, the results of the post-test data also reveal that the experimental group outperformed the control group regarding the average total errors. The results confirm the efficiency with which wiki-based writing-oriented instruction can improve learners’ accuracy.

A finales de la década de los ochenta se comenzaron a estudiar algunas características de las publicaciones en psicología acerca de la presencia disímil de género, raza y otras minorías, mostrando que muchas autorías y participantes de los estudios eran de raza blanca, de clase media y hombres. Por esto, consideramos relevante investigar la posición que ocupó la mujer en la historia de la Revista Puertorriqueña de Psicología. Para ello realizamos un estudio mixto de base sociobibliométrica de la producción escrita de la revista. Analizamos y procesamos los datos en programas informáticos especializados en el ámbito de la bibliometría, el análisis de redes sociales y conceptuales. En los resultados se visibilizó el lugar de preponderancia y liderazgo que ocuparon las mujeres como productoras de textos y de redes de colaboración. Observamos en las principales temáticas de los textos una incipiente orientación a temas de género, que se consolidó con el transcurrir de los volúmenes, con temáticas que incluyeron a las mujeres y la diversidad sexual.

Los estudios sobre internacionalización en publicaciones han sido frecuentes en los últimos años, aun cuando existen distintas apreciaciones sobre los alcances del concepto. En este trabajo sintetizamos algunas de esas posiciones. Seguidamente, analizamos tres indicadores de internacionalización para las publicaciones relacionadas con formación en psicología: 1) colaboración internacional entre autorías de trabajos publicados; 2) liderazgo en la colaboración internacional entre autorías; 3) el Índice de Diversidad Lingüística. Metodológicamente, realizamos un estudio ex post facto, centrado en análisis de documentos. En primer lugar, revelamos todos los artículos publicados relacionados con formación en psicología. Para ello, si existían keywords, se buscaron palabras claves relacionadas; sino, analizamos el resumen o el trabajo completo. En segundo lugar, analizamos los índices de colaboración internacional y de liderazgo en la misma. Para ello, cargamos en una base de datos la totalidad de autorías de los trabajos relevados con la indicación de institución y país de pertenencia. En tercer lugar, para analizar el Índice de Diversidad Lingüística, trasladamos en una base de datos las referencias de los artículos, clasificándolos según idioma. Posteriormente, analizamos los resultados y se extrajeron los indicen correspondientes. Por último, los resultados cuantitativos fueron analizados de manera cualitativa.
Patterns of Teaching Presence during One Semester of a Large Online Graduate Nursing Course
Authors: Baker Micah , Richardson Stephanie , Rubio Fernando
Published: September 2022

Extensive research supports the claim that student-instructor interaction is an essential element of successful online teaching. It is less clear, however, whether teaching presence is discipline-specific, or how it may be affected by the personal and professional background of individual instructors. 
This article describes the qualitative portion of a mixed-methods study to analyze patterns of commenting behaviors in a graduate-level online nursing course. Following the Community of Inquiry theoretical framework (Garrison, Anderson & Archer, 2000), we compare experienced and inexperienced instructors and specifically focus on how teaching presence evolved over a fifteen-week course. Our findings indicate that teaching experience affects the types and density of comments used by teachers. Experience played a role in how density and overall level of activity evolved as the semester progressed. No differences in teaching presence emerged when comparing instructions for each assignment, but there were differences when comparing instructions to teacher posts.

BACKGROUND Pediatric household contacts (HHCs) of patients with multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) are at high risk of infection and active disease. Evidence of caregiver willingness to give MDR-TB preventive therapy (TPT) to children is limited.METHODS This was a cross-sectional
study of HHCs of patients with MDR-TB to assess caregiver willingness to give TPT to children aged <13 years.RESULTS Of 743 adult and adolescent HHCs, 299 reported caring for children aged <13 years of age. The median caregiver age was 35 years (IQR 27–48); 75% were
women. Among caregivers, 89% were willing to give children MDR TPT. In unadjusted analyses, increased willingness was associated with TB-related knowledge (OR 5.1, 95% CI 2.3–11.3), belief that one can die of MDR-TB (OR 5.2, 95% CI 1.2–23.4), concern for MDR-TB transmission to
child (OR 4.5, 95% CI 1.6–12.4), confidence in properly taking TPT (OR 4.5, 95% CI 1.6–12.6), comfort telling family about TPT (OR 5.5, 95% CI 2.1–14.3), and willingness to take TPT oneself (OR 35.1, 95% CI 11.0–112.8).CONCLUSIONS A high percentage of caregivers
living with MDR- or rifampicin-resistant TB patients were willing to give children a hypothetical MDR TPT. These results provide important evidence for the potential uptake of effective MDR TPT when implemented.

BACKGROUND Incarcerated individuals, especially in high HIV and TB burden settings, are at increased risk of latent TB infection and/or TB disease. We implemented a comprehensive HIV-TB intervention in a Malawi prison and studied its feasibility.METHODS Between February
and December 2019, consenting individuals underwent screening for HIV, TB infection and TB disease. HIV-positive individuals without TB disease were treated with a fixed-dose combination of isoniazid, cotrimoxazole and vitamin B6 (INH-CTX-B6). HIV-negative persons with TB infection received
12 weeks of isoniazid and rifapentine (3HP).RESULTS Of 1,546 consenting individuals, 1,498 (96.9%) were screened and 1,427 (92.3%) included in the analysis: 96.4% were male, the median age was 31 years (IQR 25–38). Twenty-nine (2.1%) participants were diagnosed with TB disease,
of whom 89.7% started and 61.5% completed TB treatment. Of the 1,427 included, 341 (23.9%) were HIV-positive, of whom 98.5% on antiretroviral therapy and 95% were started on INH-CTX-B6. Among 1,086 HIV-negative participants, 1,015 (93.5%) underwent the tuberculin skin test (TST), 670 (65.9%)
were TST-positive, 666 (99.4%) started 3HP and 570 (85.5%) completed 3HP treatment.CONCLUSION A comprehensive TB screening and treatment package among incarcerated individuals was acceptable and feasible, and showed high prevalence of HIV, TB disease and TB infection. Treatment
uptake was excellent, but treatment completion needs to be improved. Greater investment in comprehensive HIV-TB services, including access to shorter TB regimens and follow-up upon release, is needed for incarcerated individuals.

A órbita é uma estrutura de interesse para diferentes especialidades na área da saúde. As abordagens cirúrgicas da órbita apresentam alguns pontos importantes para o cirurgião bucomaxilofacial e, aqueles que realizam cirurgias de fraturas orbitárias devem ter conhecimento anatômico profundo desta estrutura. Embora muitas das publicações existentes sobre anatomia orbital mostram em detalhes a complexidade dessa estrutura, nem sempre elas estão correlacionadas às necessidades do cirurgião bucomaxilofacial. Desta forma, este capítulo descreve reparos anatômicos da órbita e analisa as inter-relações anatômicas cirúrgicas em relação aos procedimentos cirúrgicos maxilofaciais, focando principalmente na arquitetura esquelética e dos tecidos moles. Para isso, realizou-se uma revisão da literatura internacional sobre o tema. Para ilustração, foram utilizadas fotografias de peças anatômicas. O entendimento da anatomia da órbita é vital para classificar as lesões e fornece uma base sólida na escolha da abordagem mais adequada para o seu tratamento.
