Authors: Bandeira Tanusa Oliveira , Alcantara Denise De
Published: September 2024

Perante questões como o papel da universidade pública, do planejamento, gestão e desenvolvimento sócio-espacial, este artigo traz alguns resultados da análise da integração entre o campus da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro e Seropédica, município da periferia metropolitana fluminense onde se insere. Um dos maiores campus da América Latina, seu território influencia e é influenciado pelo entorno que apresenta expansão desordenada e precária com carências infraestruturais e problemas socioambientais. A pesquisa é amparada por investigação documental, coleta e análise de dados estatísticos; bases cadastrais e geotecnologias livres, enfatizando a abordagem cognitiva e qualitativa com aplicação de entrevistas e questionários sobre grupos focais. A investigação do fenômeno urbano e a análise das imagens territoriais produzidas pelos atores institucionais e sociais oferecem subsídios para explicitar as desiguais relações de poder. Os resultados demonstram desequilíbrios e a segregação não apenas física, mas socialmente persistente, e direcionam estratégias sobre como a universidade pode atenuar esse distanciamento e fragmentação.
Uso social das águas subterrâneas em áreas periurbanas: O estudo de caso da bacia hidrográfica do rio Guandú, Região Oeste Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
Authors: Tubbs Filho Decio , Schueler Adriana , Pereira Sueli Yochinaga
Published: September 2024

O abastecimento usando águas subterrâneas é a realidade para a população em muitas áreas periurbanas brasileiras e de vários países. A região estudada apresenta baixo índice de abastecimento de água e as comunidades periurbanas sofrem por longos períodos de intermitência do fornecimento desse recurso. A origem desse problema está na ausência de integração das políticas públicas, federais, estaduais e municipais, pertinentes ao uso das águas subterrâneas no âmbito municipal. Para solucionar a falta da água tratada essas comunidades se utilizam de Soluções Alternativas Individuais (SAI), perfuram poços domésticos autoconstruídos, sem orientação técnica e governança do poder público, facilitando assim, a exposição de doenças de veiculação hídrica e a contaminação do lençol freático. Apesar desse quadro negativo as populações periurbanas desenvolvem estratégias autônomas garantindo assim a água necessária à sua sobrevivência. Este artigo discute a importância das águas subterrâneas para a vida e a resiliência dessas comunidades periurbanas, notadamente, na bacia hidrográfica do rio Guandu, região oeste metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, indicando possíveis soluções para o problema e propondo maior participação dos Municípios.

Published: September 2024

This study used a modified Hummer method to synthesize Graphene and nitrogen dopant to produce N-Graphene. Cu/N-Graphene and Ni/N-Graphene electrodes were each made using the impregnation method. Conductivity analysis of graphene, N-graphene, Cu/N-Graphene, and Ni/N-Graphene was carried out using a multimeter. The conductivity data of Cu/N-Graphene (83.16 µS/cm) and Ni/N-Graphene (85.67 µS/cm) produced were higher than commercial battery anodes (26 µS/cm). These data prove that N-graphene can improve the performance of Cu/N-Graphene and Ni/N-Graphene on primary battery anodes and can be used as an alternative anode on primary battery anodes.

Observational and model evidence for a prominent stratospheric influence on variability in tropospheric nitrous oxide

Published: September 2024

Abstract. The literature presents different views on how the stratosphere influences variability in surface nitrous oxide (N2O) and on whether that influence is outweighed by surface emission changes driven by the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). These questions are investigated using a chemistry–climate model with a stratospheric N2O tracer; surface and aircraft-based N2O measurements; and indices for ENSO, polar lower stratospheric temperature (PLST), and the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO). The model simulates well-defined seasonal cycles in tropospheric N2O that are caused mainly by the seasonal descent of N2O-poor stratospheric air in polar regions with subsequent cross-tropopause transport and mixing. Similar seasonal cycles are identified in recently available N2O data from aircraft. A correlation analysis between the N2O atmospheric growth rate (AGR) anomaly in long-term surface monitoring data and the ENSO, PLST, and QBO indices reveals hemispheric differences. In the Northern Hemisphere, the surface N2O AGR is negatively correlated with winter (January–March) PLST. This correlation is consistent with an influence from the Brewer–Dobson circulation, which brings N2O-poor air from the middle and upper stratosphere into the lower stratosphere with associated warming due to diabatic descent. In the Southern Hemisphere, the N2O AGR is better correlated to QBO and ENSO indices. These different hemispheric influences on the N2O AGR are consistent with known atmospheric dynamics and the complex interaction of the QBO with the Brewer-Dobson circulation. More airborne surveys extending to the tropopause would help elucidate the stratospheric influence on tropospheric N2O, allowing for better understanding of surface sources.
Glacial–interglacial Circumpolar Deep Water temperatures during the last 800 000 years: estimates from a synthesis of bottom water temperature reconstructions
Authors: Chandler David M. , Langebroek Petra M.
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Future climate and sea level projections depend sensitively on the response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to ocean-driven melting and the resulting freshwater fluxes into the Southern Ocean. Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) transport across the Antarctic continental shelf and into cavities beneath ice shelves is increasingly recognised as a crucial heat source for ice shelf melt. Quantifying past changes in the temperature of CDW is therefore of great benefit for modelling ice sheet response to past warm climates, for validating paleoclimate models, and for putting recent and projected changes in CDW temperature into context. Here we compile the available bottom water temperature reconstructions representative of CDW over the past 800 kyr. Estimated interglacial warming reached anomalies of +0.6 ± 0.4 °C (MIS 11) and +0.5 ± 0.5 °C (MIS 5) relative to present. Glacial cooling typically reached anomalies of ca. −1.5 to −2 °C, therefore maintaining positive thermal forcing for ice shelf melt even during glacials in the Amundsen Sea region of West Antarctica. Despite high variance amongst a small number of records and poor (4 kyr) temporal resolution, we find persistent and close relationships between our estimated CDW temperature and Southern Ocean sea surface temperature, Antarctic surface air temperature, and global deep-water temperature reconstructions at glacial-cycle timescales. Given the important role that CDW plays in connecting the world's three main ocean basins and in driving Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss, additional temperature reconstructions targeting CDW are urgently needed to increase temporal and spatial resolution and to decrease uncertainty in past CDW temperatures – whether for use as a boundary condition, for model validation, or for understanding past oceanographic changes.
CropSuite – A comprehensive open-source crop suitability model considering climate variability for climate impact assessment
Authors: Zabel Florian , Knüttel Matthias , Poschlod Benjamin
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Increasing demand for agricultural land resources and changing climate conditions require for strategic land-use planning and the development of adaptation strategies. Therefore, information about the suitability of agricultural land is a necessary prerequisite. Current suitability approaches often focus on single crops, can only be applied regionally and usually neglect the impact of climate variability on crop suitability. Here, we introduce CropSuite, a new comprehensive and easy-to-use open-source crop suitability model that makes it possible to overcome these shortcomings. CropSuite uses a fuzzy logic approach and is based on the assumption of Liebig’s law of the minimum. It includes a spatial downscaling approach for climate data, which allows for performing crop suitability analysis at very high spatial resolution. Several factors that impact on crop suitability can flexibly be integrated into CropSuite by determining membership functions. CropSuite allows for the consideration of irrigated and rainfed agricultural systems, vernalization requirements for winter crops, lethal temperature thresholds, photoperiodic sensitivity and several other limitations. The model calculates and outputs climate-, soil-, and crop suitability, the optimal sowing date, the potential for multiple cropping, the (most) limiting factor(s), as well as the recurrence rate of potential crop failures. In this study, we apply CropSuite for 48 crops at a spatial resolution of 30 arc seconds (1 km at the equator) for Africa. Thereby, we consider regionally important staple and cash crops, such as coffee, cassava, banana, oil palm, cocoa, cowpea, groundnuts, mango, millet, papaya, rubber, sesame, sorghum, sugar cane, tobacco, and yams. We find that the consideration of climate variability for calculating crop suitability makes a significant difference on suitable areas, but also affects optimal sowing dates, and multiple cropping potentials. The most vulnerable regions for climate variability are identified in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa, and the Maghreb countries. The results provide valuable crop-specific information that can be further used for climate impact assessments, adaptation and land-use planning.
Runoff from Greenland's firn area – why do MODIS, RCMs and a firn model disagree?

Published: September 2024

Abstract. Due to increasing air temperatures, surface melt and meltwater runoff expand to ever higher elevations on the Greenland ice sheet and reach far into its firn area. Here, we evaluate how two regional climate models (RCMs) simulate the expansion of the ice sheet runoff area: MAR, and RACMO with its offline firn model IMAU-FDM. For the purpose of this comparison we first improve an existing algorithm to detect daily visible runoff limits from MODIS satellite imagery. We then apply the improved algorithm to most of the Greenland ice sheet and compare MODIS to RCM runoff limits for the years 2000 to 2021. We find that RACMO/IMAU-FDM runoff limits are on average somewhat lower than MODIS and show little fluctuations from year to year. MAR runoff limits are substantially higher than MODIS, but their relative fluctuations are more similar to MODIS. Both models apply a bucket scheme where meltwater is routed vertically. On the example of the K-transect we demonstrate that differences in the implementation of the bucket scheme are responsible for the disparity in RCM simulated runoff limits. The formulation of the runoff condition is of large influence: in RACMO/IMAU-FDM meltwater is only considered runoff when it reaches the bottom of the simulated firn pack; in MAR runoff can also occur from within the firn pack, which largely causes its higher runoff limits. We show that total runoff along the K-transect, simulated by the two RCMs, diverges by up to 29 % in extraordinary melt years. Out of this, three quarters are caused by the differences in the simulated runoff limits, the remainder being mostly due to differences in simulated ablation area runoff. Consequently, accurate simulation of meltwater hydrology in a melting firn area is essential to assess Greenland's current and future mass changes.
Rate-Induced Transitions and Noise-Driven Resilience in Vegetation Pattern Dynamics
Authors: Vanderveken Lilian , Crucifix Michel
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Understanding the resilience and stability of vegetation patterns under changing environmental conditions is crucial for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change. This study investigates the dynamics of vegetation patterns in response to a spatially homogeneous decrease in rainfall across the entire domain. Starting from high-rainfall with a stable homogeneous vegetated state, we applied various rates of rainfall reduction to observe system transitions. We find that rainfall decrease may cause transitions to two or three pulse states, or abrupt shifts to bare soil depending on the rate of change, highlighting the significance of rate-induced tipping (R-tipping) in open dynamical systems. We identified the pulse creation and destruction timescale (τpulse) and the rearrangement timescale (τrear) as the critical timescales which govern the system response to gradual environmental changes. The rearrangement timescale, significantly longer than τpulse, is relevant for characterising the system behavior under slow perturbations. Dimensional analysis and sensitivity analysis with numerical experiments further validate the fundamental connections between these timescales. Additionally, we examined the impact of spatially and temporally structured noise on vegetation pattern resilience. Perturbations modeled as Gaussian stochastic processes with specific autocorrelation structures were applied to the system. We find that increased spatial autocorrelation in noise reduces pattern formation, while temporal autocorrelation at critical timescales significantly influences biomass mean and variance. The co-existence of multiple equilibria and unstable states, combined with the presence of ghost attractors enhances system resilience by providing alternative stable configurations under fluctuating conditions. These findings underscore the importance of considering slow timescales and structured noise in analyzing vegetation dynamics. Understanding these factors is essential for predicting ecosystem resilience and developing strategies to manage vegetation systems under climate variability.
Young and new water fractions in soil and hillslope waters
Authors: Floriancic Marius G. , Allen Scott T. , Kirchner James W.
Published: September 2024

Abstract. The transport processes and corresponding timescales of water's infiltration into and percolation through the shallow subsurface are poorly understood. Here, we characterize the transport of recent precipitation through a forested hillslope using a continuous 3-year record of O and H stable isotopes in precipitation, streamflow, and soil waters from various depths. We found that the fractions of recent precipitation decreased with depth, both in waters extracted using suction-cup lysimeters and in waters extracted from bulk soil samples using cryogenic distillation. Fractions of recent precipitation found in soils and streamflow were much larger with wet antecedent conditions, showing that wet landscapes can transmit recent precipitation quicker than dry landscapes. Approximately 18 % of streamflow was younger than 2–3 months, 11 % was younger than 3 weeks, and 7 % was younger than 1 week; these new water fractions were similar to those seen in 20 to 80 cm deep soils. Mobile soil waters below 2 m depth contained much less recent precipitation (1.2 ± 0.4 % younger than 2 weeks) than streamflow did (12.3 ± 2.1%), indicating that they are not the dominant source of streamflow. Instead, streamflow must be generated from a mixture of deep subsurface waters, with very little isotopic seasonality and short-term variability, and shallow soil waters, with more pronounced isotopic seasonality and short-term variability. This study illustrates how flow, storage, and mixing processes linking precipitation to streamflow and evapotranspiration can be constrained by measuring isotopic variability across different hillslope positions, subsurface depths, and timescales.
A hybrid data-driven approach to analyze the drivers of lake level dynamics
Authors: Somogyvári Márk , Scherer Dieter , Bart Frederik , Fehrenbach Ute , Okujeni Akpona , Krueger Tobias
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Lakes are directly exposed to climate variations as their recharge processes are driven by precipitation and evapotranspiration, and they are also affected by groundwater trends, changing ecosystems and changing water use. In this study, we present a downward model development approach that uses models of increasing complexity to identify and quantify the dependence of lake level variations on climatic and other factors. The presented methodology uses high-resolution gridded weather data inputs that were obtained from dynamically downscaled ERA5 reanalysis data. Previously missing fluxes and previously unknown turning points in the system behavior are identified via a water balance model. The detailed lake level response to weather events is analyzed by calibrating data-driven models over different segments of the data time series. Changes in lake level dynamics are then inferred from the parameters and simulations of these models. The methodology is developed and presented for the example of Groß Glienicker Lake, a groundwater-fed lake in eastern Germany that has been experiencing increasing water loss in the last half-century. We show that lake dynamics were mainly controlled by climatic variations in this period, with two systematically different phases in behavior. The increasing water loss during the last decade, however, cannot be accounted for by climate change. Our analysis suggests that this alteration is caused by the combination of regional groundwater decline and vegetation growth in the catchment area, with some additional impact from changes in the local rainwater infrastructure.

Published: September 2024

Abstract. Continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy at 35 GHz is an essential cornerstone in multi-frequency EPR studies and is crucial for differentiating multiple species in complex systems due to the improved g-tensor resolution compared to lower microwave frequencies. Especially for unstable and highly sensitive paramagnetic centers, the reliability of the measurements can be improved upon through the use of a single sample for EPR experiments at all frequencies. Besides the advantages, the lack of common availability of oversized-sample resonators at 35 GHz often limits scientists to lower frequencies or smaller sample geometries, and the latter may be non-trivial for sensitive materials. In this work, we present the design and performance of an oversized-sample 35 GHz EPR resonator with a high loaded Q value, QL, of up to 2550, well-suited for continuous-wave EPR and pulsed single-microwave-frequency experiments. The design is driven by electromagnetic field simulations, and the microwave characteristics of manufactured prototypes were found to be in agreement with the predictions. The resonator is based on a cylindrical cavity with a TE011 mode, allowing for 3 mm sample access. The design targets that we met include high sensitivity, robustness, and ease of manufacturing and maintenance. The resonator is compatible with commercial EPR spectrometers and with helium flow, as well as with cryogen-free cryostats, allowing for measurements at temperatures down to 1.8 K. To highlight the general applicability, the resonator was tested on metal centers, as well as on organic radicals featuring extremely narrow lines.

Introducción: Las universidades tienen un rol importante en la formación de la integridad científica en sus estudiantes. A pesar de su importancia, se han estudiado pocas intervenciones que la mejoren. Objetivo: Evaluar los efectos de una intervención educativa sobre la integridad científica en estudiantes universitarios de la región sur del Perú.  Metodología: Se aplicó una intervención educativa en tres fases (pretest, intervención y postest). Se aplicaron pruebas de comparación robustas para muestras dependientes, así como también medidas de tamaño del efecto AKP. Se aplicaron pruebas ANOVA mixtos. Se utilizaron las comparaciones por pares siguiendo el método de la p. ajustada de Bonferroni. Resultados: Participaron 402 estudiantes (63.93% de sexo femenino). La comparación de muestras dependientes entre las medidas postest y pretest encontró diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la dimensión conocimientos (tyuen = 3.93; gl = 240; p < .001; AKP = 0.22 [IC 95%: 0.12 – 0.33]) y en la dimensión prácticas (tyuen = 4.88; gl = 240; p < .001; AKP = 0.30 [IC 95%: 0.20 – 0.42]) y la región (2,392) = 4.16, p < .001, ?2 = 0.008. Discusión: La intervención fue efectiva según la evaluación en el postest con algunas diferencias según regiones.

Introducción: C. albicans junto con C. dubliniensis y C. africana, forman el Complejo Candida albicans. Estas especies están estrechamente relacionadas entre sí, lo que dificulta la diferenciación por métodos convencionales. Objetivos: Diferenciar por método molecular Candida albicans y Candida dubliniensis en aislamientos de pacientes ambulatorios y hospitalizados de Central, Paraguay y conocer el perfil de sensibilidad de los mismos. Metodología: Se incluyeron levaduras aisladas de materiales respiratorios, cavidad bucal, secreciones purulentas, sangre, orina y otros. Se realizó una PCR dúplex de punto final a los aislamientos que desarrollaron coloración verdosa en medio cromogénico (CONDA®, España). El ADN se extrajo utilizando el kit Wizard® Genomic DNA (Promega, EE. UU.) con algunas modificaciones. La sensibilidad a antifúngicos se determinó por VITEK® 2 a un subgrupo de aislamientos. Resultados: De 1065 aislamientos, 838 (78,7 %) fueron C. albicans y 3 (0,3 %) C. dubliniensis, estos últimos provenientes de cavidad bucal; los 224 restantes fueron negativos para ambas especies. El 94,4 % de 503 aislamientos de C. albicans fueron sensibles a fluconazol, 97,6 % a voriconazol, 99,4 % a anfotericina B, 100 % a caspofungina y micafungina. Los tres aislamientos de C. dubliniensis presentaron CIM de ? 0,5 µg/mL frente a fluconazol, ? 0,12 µg/mL a voriconazol y ? 0,25 µg/mL a anfotericina B. Conclusiones: La frecuencia de C. dubliniensis es baja con relación a otros estudios que informan valores de 1,5 a 32 %. Estos aislamientos no presentaron indicios de resistencia. C. albicans mostró buena sensibilidad a los antifúngicos ensayados.

Introducción: En el marco de la implementación de estrategias de salud pública tendientes a detener el avance de las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles de origen nutricional en Paraguay se ha reglamentado el contenido de sal (cloruro de sodio) en panificados. El Instituto Nacional de Alimentación y Nutrición (INAN) realiza la vigilancia del contenido de sodio en panificados en el territorio nacional.  Objetivo: Determinar la adecuación del contenido de sodio en panificados de consumo masivo, elaborados y comercializados en Paraguay, desde el 2014 al 2021.  Metodología: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, de corte retrospectivo. Se utilizaron datos obtenidos como parte de la vigilancia realizada por el INAN a panificados de consumo masivo elaborados y comercializados a nivel nacional.  Se analizó el sodio mediante el procedimiento AOAC 985.35., y se consideraron valores adecuados cuando la concentración de sodio era ? 600 mg/Na por 100 g de producto, según Resolución S.G. Nº 792/2015. Resultados: Se analizaron 527 muestras de panificados de consumo masivo a partir de bocas de expendio, de 16 regiones sanitarias, y procedentes de industrias comerciales (1,1%), supermercados (87,2%) y panaderías (11,7 %). Durante los años 2017, 2018 y 2021, las medianas y promedios de sodio superaron ampliamente los valores establecidos como adecuados. Se presentaron diferencias significativas en el porcentaje de muestras con valores adecuados e inadecuados de acuerdo al año de monitoreo. Las muestras de “palitos, coquitos y rosquitas” presentaron significativamente mayor cantidad de sodio en relación a lo hallado en el pan Felipe, galleta, y otros panificados (p= < 0,05). Discusión: La vigilancia, y el cumplimiento por parte de las empresas de la Resolución SG Nº 792/2015 resulta fundamental para evitar el exceso de sodio en los panificados de consumo masivo. Se requiere continuar con el monitoreo a fin de garantizar la adecuación a la legislación vigente.

Seven years is simultaneously a long time (almost two presidential cycles!) and an eyeblink (where did the time go?). It was that long ago that the Journal of Campus Activities Practice and Scholarship was born, ushered into the world with the support of the NACA Board of Directors and a newly-formed journal advisory board tasked with determining the journal’s structure and initial personnel. If you were building a journal literally from scratch – or a magazine, or a long-time podcast, etc. – how would you begin?
Gbobalɔi and the Language of Naming: A Study of Revenant Children in Ga Communities in Ghana
Authors: K. Sika , , N. A. Angela,
Published: September 2024

This ethnographic study examines the naming practices of revenant children otherwise known as gbobalɔi, in the Ga communities of Ghana. It delves into the cultural beliefs associated with these children, the rituals performed during their naming ceremonies, and the implications of their unique names. Focusing on the Osu traditional area within the Greater Accra Region, the research utilised an explorative and descriptive approach. The sample comprised five elderly individuals, three men and two women chosen for their deep knowledge of local cultural practices related to gbobalɔi naming. Data was collected through interviews with strict adherence to ethical considerations like informed consent and confidentiality. The study finds that gbobalɔi are perceived as reincarnated spirits necessitating specific rituals and names for community integration. The names given often carry negative connotations or reflect the circumstances of their birth, intended to dissuade spiritual forces from claiming them. The research also addresses the challenges of preserving these traditions amidst modern influences. Overall, the study enhances understanding of naming practices in African societies and emphasises the role of names as crucial markers of identity and social roles.

This research examines the critical components of property law administration in Anambra State, focusing on probate tax, governor's consent, and stamp duty. These mechanisms are vital for ensuring lawful property administration, transfer, generating government revenue, and maintaining the integrity of legal documents. The study highlights the significance of these elements in the socio-economic development of the region and their impact on property transactions and inheritance. Through a detailed analysis of current practices, challenges, and inefficiencies, the research identifies major issues such as bureaucratic delays, high costs, lack of public awareness, and enforcement inefficiencies. The study utilizes a sample size of 400 respondents, including property owners, legal practitioners, and government officials, to gather data on their experiences and perceptions. The findings reveal significant non-compliance and evasion, exacerbated by complex procedures and opaque processes. To address these challenges, the research proposes strategic reforms including simplification of procedures, leveraging technology, enhancing public education, and introducing stricter penalties for non-compliance. These recommendations aim to improve efficiency, transparency, and compliance in property law administration, thereby promoting economic development and orderly land use in Anambra State.

Published: September 2024

This study is centred on healthcare service delivery and patients’ satisfaction in public hospitals in Akwa Ibom State. We formulated two specific objectives and hypotheses to guide this investigation. We also adopted a cross-sectional research approach and selected the respondents using simple random sampling. Given the study's infinite population, we used the Topman formula to determine the sample size. The data assembled from the participants was analysed using the simple linear regression technique. Findings from the study demonstrated that patient waiting time (PWT) and healthcare provider-patient communication (HCP-PC) have positive and significant effects on patient satisfaction in selected public hospitals in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The researcher’s conclusion is that healthcare service delivery has a significant positive effect on patients’ healthcare satisfaction in the studied public hospitals in Akwa Ibom State. Based on these findings, public hospitals should prioritise the proper management of patient administrative concerns, as this could potentially reduce patient waiting times. Given that patients place their trust in healthcare workers, it is important for healthcare providers in the studied public hospitals to respect their private healthcare information.
