The determinants of adolescents’ deviant behaviours
Authors: Enache Rodica Gabriela , Bîrsan Sorina
Published: January 2022

Deviance is a fundamental social construct because the members of society interpret its meaning and attribute its meaning to it. In our research we described the causes that determine deviance (juvenile delinquency): internal/individual causes and external / social causes. The purpose of the research was to make a comparison between the psychological problems of institutionalized adolescents with deviant behaviour and those of non-institutionalized adolescents with deviant behaviour.
Progress Monitoring Measures in Psychotherapy and Mental Health: Examination of a Structural Equation Model
Authors: Bourque Caissie , Charbonneau Andréanne , Bouchard Geneviève , Lachance-Grzela Mylène
Published: January 2022

Progress monitoring measures are psychometric assessments designed to monitor treatment progress by evaluating global ratings of mental health. Their use in clinical practice is related to increases in the effectiveness of therapy and decreases in negative outcomes. Yet, clinicians often report struggling with limited understanding of the differences between the numerous measures available, and only a small percentage of clinicians report using them. In order to assist clinicians in measure selection, the current study documented and compared the ability of five measures (i.e., the ORS, the OQ-45, the BASIS-24, the CORE-OM, and the TOP) to assess two aspects of mental health: psychological well-being and psychological distress. Data from a clinical sample of 53 French-speaking individuals were analyzed using structural equation modelling. Results showed strong convergent validity between the measures and indicated that they evaluated mental health accurately. Further analysis specified that, among the five measures, the OQ-45 and the CORE-OM were the best at assessing mental health.
PYMEs del sector floricultor colombiano: análisis financiero 2014-2019
Authors: Rivera Godoy Jorge
Published: January 2022

El fin de este trabajo investigativo fue evaluar el desempeño financiero de la pequeña y mediana empresa del sector floricultor en Colombia en el periodo 2014-2019, con un enfoque cuantitativo de alcance exploratorio y descriptivo, y se utilizó como método el análisis estático y de tendencias de indicadores contables y de gestión del valor que revelaron su crecimiento, eficiencia, eficacia y efectividad. Se halló que la pyme floricultora logró rendimientos contables, siendo superior el rendimiento del activo en la mediana empresa, porque fue más eficaz en la gestión de los costos y gastos operacionales, mientras que el rendimiento del patrimonio de la pequeña empresa fue mayor porque fue más eficiente en la administración de activos; no obstante, en el sexenio la pequeña empresa destruyó valor económico agregado, contrario a lo ocurrido en la mediana empresa que creó valor. Al compararse todo el sector floricultor con la pyme se encontró que su efectividad medida por el rendimiento sobre el activo fue inferior al de la mediana empresa, mientras que su rendimiento sobre el patrimonio fue superado por la pyme; sin embargo, el sector floricultor logró el mejor resultado con los indicadores de gestión de valor, y creó el mayor valor económico agregado. Esta investigación puede ser complementada con el análisis de variables que impactan sobre cada uno de los factores de los rendimientos contables y de gestión del valor, como, también, puede ampliarse para grupos de empresas semejantes en edad, estructura jurídica y ubicación geográfica en el medio doméstico y extranjero.

La pandemia COVID-19 que agobia al mundo actualmente ha afectado la actividad de las empresas cesando el control de gestión empresarial, este permite determinar desviaciones en la ejecución de los planes a través de la comparación de los resultados con lo establecido y aplicar medidas correctivas. Bajo esta perspectiva, la investigación desarrollada orienta su objetivo a analizar el concepto de control de gestión y su importancia ante la pandemia COVID-19. Se aborda desde una investigación analítica con diseño documental, utilizando técnicas para recolectar datos como la observación directa, medios visuales y electrónicos; siendo Barajas (2008), Reyes (2007), Anthony y Govindarajan (2007), Rubio (2008), Pérez – Carballo (2013), Villanueva (2019), Boned y Bagur (2006) y Amat (2013), los principales referentes teóricos consultados. Los resultados evidencian un marco conceptual donde el control de gestión es concebido como función, proceso o sistema, enfocado en los resultados de la actividad empresarial mediante la medición del desempeño de los empleados para una toma de decisiones orientada al alcance de la estrategia y objetivos. Utiliza como instrumentos básicos la contabilidad de gestión y el cuadro de mando integral. Las medidas preventivas como cuarentena radical, confinamiento social en el año 2020 paralizaron la actividad empresarial venezolana, activada bajo el esquema 7+7. Se concluye que el control de gestión es pieza clave por aportar información de los resultados de la gestión para tomar decisiones relativas a la capacidad de la empresa para mantenerse activa y lograr su posicionamiento en el mercado afrontando los efectos pandémicos.
Homonymous Hemianopia dan Stroke: Aspek Visual dari Penyakit Serebrovaskular
Authors: Khairunnisa Aulia
Published: January 2022

Visual impairment due to stroke impacts quality of life and causes loss of vision pathways and depression. Vascular occlusion in afferent or efferent visual pathways can cause a myriad of effects. Homonymous hemianopia is a visual field list that, if there is a lesion in one area, can cause visual disturbances. Vascular causes are the most common cause of lesion occlusion in the retro chiasmal visual pathway. Clinical manifestations can include blindness of one eye, bitemporal hemianopia, binasal hemianopia, hemianopia homonym dextra / left. In the history, the patient often complains of crashing while walking, tripping easily, reduced visual fields, especially difficulty while driving. Visual field tests in the form of confrontation, campimeter or perimeter tests, sometimes a head CT-scan radiological examination is needed to help see any small infarction/mass. Stroke is the most common cause. Homonymous hemianopia, cerebrovascular involvement can be identified by knowing the anatomy of the optic tract, including monocular visual loss due to prechiasmal ischaemia, bitemporal hemianopia due to chiasmal ischaemia, Eefferent visual dysfunction due to lesions outside the afferent visual pathways.

Governance Assessment of Basic Education in Brazil
Authors: Oliveira Anderson Soares Furtado , Nunes André , Guerra Mariana
Published: January 2022

Objective: Bearing in mind the Sustainable Development Goals guidelines, the objective was to assess the governance process in Brazilian basic education by applying Oliveira, Nunes & Guerra’s instrument (2020).
Method: This study was based on 1) a factorial analysis of the dimensionality of an instrument by Oliveira et al. (2020), and 2) an empirical analysis of its application to a sample of 511 basic education leaders, managers, and board members in Brazil.
Originality/Relevance: This study reports on an empirical assessment of governance in Brazilian basic education. The findings both represent the reality of state and municipal managers included in the sample and contribute to validating an instrument that taps into the governance process in Brazilian basic education.
Results: The instrument was validated with 4 constructs, namely: institutionalization, participatory engagement, institutional design, and quality of participatory processes. Such constructs are consistent with the Governance Analytical Framework (GAF) and indicate factors that promote quality education in Brazil.
Theoretical/Methodological contributions: The survey answers showed that formal social norms explain the dynamics of the governance process in Brazil.
The Women's Fight
Authors: Glymph Thavolia
Published: January 2022

Historians of the Civil War often speak of "wars within a war"--the military fight, wartime struggles on the home front, and the political and moral battle to preserve the Union and end slavery. In this broadly conceived book, Thavolia Glymph provides a comprehensive new history of women's roles and lives in the Civil War--North and South, white and black, slave and free--showing how women were essentially and fully engaged in all three arenas. Glymph focuses on the ideas and ideologies that drove women's actions, allegiances, and politics. We encounter women as they stood their ground, moved into each other's territory, sought and found common ground, and fought for vastly different principles. Some women used all the tools and powers they could muster to prevent the radical transformations the war increasingly imposed, some fought with equal might for the same transformations, and other women fought simply to keep the war at bay as they waited for their husbands and sons to return home. Glymph shows how the Civil War exposed as never before the nation's fault lines, not just along race and class lines but also along the ragged boundaries of gender. However, Glymph makes clear that women's experiences were not new to the mid-nineteenth century; rather, many of them drew on memories of previous conflicts, like the American Revolution and the War of 1812, to make sense of the Civil War's disorder and death.
Introduction
Authors: Navarro Luis Hernández
Published: January 2022

Beginning in 1994, the indigenous communities of Mexico experienced a series of internal transformations. Reacting to the issues of a legal vacuum in legislation to deal with indigenous issues; the government’s attempts to deny recognition of indigenous rights; and the reevaluation of the indigenous in society, indigenous movements reformulated debates from questions of their community’s extreme poverty toward political demands. The Zapatista insurrection also precipitated new indigenous movements with new visions for Mexico. The convergence between the Zapatista rebellion and the struggles of indigenous peoples and communities also resulted in the spread of indigenous self-defense groups.
Introduction: Standing at the Crossroads

Icarus Crashes and Rises from His Own Ashes
Authors: Corthron Kia
Published: January 2022

Part 3 includes 17 essays. Included in the section is the essay “Painting and Poetry,” in which Major merges the disciplines of visual art and writing, discussing letters written by Vincent van Gogh. “Thanks for the Lunch, Baby,’” imagines a posthumous Paris lunch with Major’s friend, James Baldwin, while “A Paris Fantasy Transformed” focuses on ex-pat Major’s observations of the complications in the European mecca-utopia. “Necessary Distance” can be seen more as a memoir; in it, Major recounts his captivation with painting, a scholarship he received as a teenager to attend sketch classes at Chicago’s Art Institute, his awareness of the absence of African American work from the walls of mainstream galleries, his fascination with form over content, and his frustration with critical pigeon-holing. The essays profiling renowned writers (James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, and Richard Wright) are deliberately narrow, addressing aspects of the authors that have been rarely glimpsed. In “Don, Here Is my Peppermint Striped Shirt,” the reader is invited into a virtual 1970s Greenwich Village Moveable Feast: a Christmas party at which Major meets the subject of his essay. “Rhythm: A Hundred Years of African American Poetry” provides a detailed overview of a broad range of black poets, from slavery through the mid-1990s.

One of the Great Automobile Countries in the World
Authors: Woodard James P.
Published: January 2022

Chapter 2 looks at the period between the 1910s and the 1930s, when major U.S. automakers expanded into Brazil. As they expanded, the automakers brought with them the promotional and organizational apparatus of Madison Avenue at the encouragement of U.S. officials and big business. Commercial media—including changes in the Brazilian press, the development of commercial radio broadcasting, and the solidification of Hollywood as a leisure-time draw—enjoyed the support of city-dwellers and Brazilian governments. At this early state, Brazilian consumer capitalism was already transnational, involving Dutch and Canadian concerns as well as a Spanish-born entrepreneur who sponsored the remaking of a section of Rio de Janeiro.
Race Characters
Authors: Rana Swati
Published: January 2022

A vexed figure inhabits U.S. literature and culture: the visibly racialized immigrant who disavows minority identity and embraces the American dream. Such figures are potent and controversial, for they promise to expiate racial violence and perpetuate an exceptionalist ideal of America. Swati Rana grapples with these figures, building on studies of literary character and racial form. Rana offers a new way to view characterization through racialization that creates a fuller social reading of race. Situated in a nascent period of ethnic identification from 1900 to 1960, this book focuses on immigrant writers who do not fit neatly into a resistance-based model of ethnic literature. Writings by Paule Marshall, Ameen Rihani, Dalip Singh Saund, José Garcia Villa, and José Antonio Villarreal symbolize different aspects of the American dream, from individualism to imperialism, assimilation to upward mobility. The dynamics of characterization are also those of contestation, Rana argues. Analyzing the interrelation of persona and personhood, Race Characters presents an original method of comparison, revealing how the protagonist of the American dream is socially constrained and structurally driven.
I Don't Like the Blues
Authors: Foster B. Brian
Published: January 2022

How do you love and not like the same thing at the same time? This was the riddle that met Mississippi writer B. Brian Foster when he returned to his home state to learn about Black culture and found himself hearing about the blues. One moment, Black Mississippians would say they knew and appreciated the blues. The next, they would say they didn’t like it. For five years, Foster listened and asked: “How?” “Why not?” “Will it ever change?” This is the story of the answers to his questions.
In this illuminating work, Foster takes us where not many blues writers and scholars have gone: into the homes, memories, speculative visions, and lifeworlds of Black folks in contemporary Mississippi to hear what they have to say about the blues and all that has come about since their forebears first sang them. In so doing, Foster urges us to think differently about race, place, and community development and models a different way of hearing the sounds of Black life, a method that he calls listening for the backbeat.
Characteristics of pregnancy with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital, Palembang
Authors: Muthmainnah Nyimas Aliyah Faizatun , Bernolian Nuswil , Roflin Eddy , Kesty Cindy
Published: January 2022

Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with complex pathogenesis with broad clinical manifestations, more common in women of reproductive age between 15-44 years, so there is an increased incidence in pregnancies.

Methods: This study was a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design using medical records of patients in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang from January 2018-June 2020. Sampling was carried out by total sampling with the presentation of data in tables and narratives. Data processing was performed using SPSS 25.

Results: There were 1,039 pregnancies in January 2018-June 2020 with 26 pregnancies with SLE and 8 patients (30.8%) of moderate degree SLE. The demographic characteristics were 26-30 age range (30.8%), high school education status (53.8%), the number of pregnancies 2-3 times (53.8%), the number of primiparous births (46.2%), and the number of miscarriages was never experienced (65.4%). Based on clinical signs and symptoms, malaise (15.4%), malar rash, photosensitivity spots and alopecia (15.4%), inflammatory arthritis (46.2%), lupus nephritis (11.5%), abdominal pain ( 34.6%), lymphadenopathy (3.8%), anemia or lymphopenia (15.4%), and cephalgia (7.7%). Meanwhile, the parameter of diagnosis was lymphopenia (15.4%), eGFR stage 1 (34.6%), proteinuria or proteinuria and cylindruria (11.5%), ANA test (+) (19.2%), anti-dsDNA test (+) (19.2%), and the complement test decreased (7.7%). Pregnancy outcomes were found to have intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) (19.2%) and preeclampsia and IUGR (11.5%).

Conclusion: From the 26 pregnant patients with SLE, most were found with a moderate degree. Most demographic characteristics were age range 26-30 years old, high school education status, number of pregnancies 2-3 times, primipara, and never miscarriage. Characteristics of clinical signs and symptoms most commonly found in patients were malaise, malar rash, photosensitivity spots and alopecia, inflammatory arthritis, and abdominal pain. The diagnosis parameters were lymphopenia, stage 1 eGFR, proteinuria or proteinuria and cylindruria, ANA test (+), and anti-dsDNA test (+). Most pregnancy outcome is intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
Demographic bonus in Bali: hopes and challenges in reproductive health
Authors: Darmayasa I Made , Surya IGN Harry Wijaya , Aryana Made Bagus Dwi
Published: January 2022

Background: Bali experienced an earlier demographic bonus and a longer duration than the national one. The demographic bonus provides both hope and challenges from a reproductive health perspective, especially in the current Covid-19 pandemic.

Methods: Extracted from various sources, analyzed and presented in the form of a description.

Result: In the period 1960-2000, the population growth rate in Bali continued to decline, but from 2000 to 2010, it increased again to 2.14. The age group below 50 years reaches 80%, the distribution is 30% under the age of 18 years, then 24% at the age 19-35 years, and 24% for the age group 35-50 years. In 2020 Bali entered the demographic bonus with the lowest dependency ratio between 42.2% - 43.3%. Bali's life expectancy rate reached 70.61 years in 2010 and is predicted to be 71.68 years in 2018. Based on the Regency/City of Bali Province's projected population in 2010-2020, the number of seniors in Bali in 2020 is 11.51%. The challenges faced include: 1. Knowledge of adolescents about reproductive health, 2. High number of the population in productive age accompanied by an understanding of reproductive health is still low. 3. Disease awareness of various pathological conditions in pregnancy is still low, coverage of contraceptive use is still low, causing pregnancy without planning, unwanted and high risk, 4. Low quality of antenatal care, 5. There are still many pregnant people, and giving birth without financing pattern, 6. Population mobility, many pregnant women who come to Bali, are not equipped with population data/identities, including family cards, 7. The increasing number of people over 60 years of age are unproductive, unhealthy, and not independent. These challenges will burden the family and or the government, especially if they do not have a good financing pattern.

Conclusion: The demographic bonus in Bali occurs earlier than in some other regions in Indonesia due to success in managing population programs. This bonus does not guarantee the success of development in the overall sense of the Covid-19 pandemic era. Bali still has to strive hard to realize its development hopes and solve existing and real challenges.
THE PREDICTION OF HEPATITIS B VIRUS (HBV) USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK (ANN) AND GENETIC ALGORITHM (GA)
Authors: Ibrahim Douglas , Ahmadu Asabe Sandra , Malgwi Yusuf Musa , Ahmad Bamanga Mahmud
Published: January 2022

The hepatitis B virus causes a liver infection called hepatitis B (HBV). It might be severe and go away on its own. Some kinds, however, can be persistent, leading to cirrhosis and liver cancer. HBV can be transmitted to others without the individual being aware of it; some persons have no symptoms, while others only have the first infection, which later resolves. Others develop a chronic illness as a result of their condition. In chronic cases, the virus attacks the liver for an extended period of time without being detected, causing irreparable liver damage. The manual approach has a high number of errors due to human decision-making, and visual screening is time-consuming, tiresome, and costly in terms of manpower. To predict the occurrence of Hepatitis virus (HBV), this research project thesis suggested an algorithm; Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and genetic algorithm (GA). To develop, evaluate and validate the performance of the model developed using ANN. Medical records of nine hundred patients were collected in the Northern Senatorial District (Mubi South), Central Senatorial District (Hong), and Southern Senatorial District (Ganye) regions of Adamawa state, Nigeria. Three hundred (300) patient records were collected from each general hospital, for a total of 900 patient records. The success of the proposed technique is demonstrated when ANN is paired with GA, Accuracy (66.30%), Specificity (66.33%), and Sensitivity (77.53%) were discovered. In this study, hepatitis B virus (HBV) was predicted using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifier and Genetic algorithm optimization tool were used to select the features that are responsible for hepatitis B virus (Sex, Loss of Appetite, Nausea and vomiting, Yellowish skin and eye, Stomach pain, Pain in muscles and joint). The prediction was found to have acceptable performance measures which will reduce future incidence of the outbreak and aid timely response of medical experts.

Data assimilation of CrIS NH3 satellite observations for improving spatiotemporal NH3 distributions in LOTOS-EUROS
Authors: van der Graaf Shelley , Dammers Enrico , Segers Arjo , Kranenburg Richard , Schaap Martijn , Shephard Mark W. , Erisman Jan Willem
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Atmospheric levels of ammonia (NH3) have substantially increased during the last century, posing a hazard to both human health and environmental quality. The atmospheric budget of NH3, however, is still highly uncertain due to an overall lack of observations. Satellite
observations of atmospheric NH3 may help us in the current observational and knowledge gaps. Recent observations of the Cross-track
Infrared Sounder (CrIS) provide us with daily, global distributions of NH3. In this study, the CrIS NH3 product is assimilated
into the LOTOS-EUROS chemistry transport model using two different methods aimed at improving the modeled spatiotemporal NH3 distributions. In the first method NH3 surface concentrations from CrIS are used to fit spatially varying NH3 emission time
factors to redistribute model input NH3 emissions over the year. The second method uses the CrIS NH3 profile to adjust the
NH3 emissions using a local ensemble transform Kalman filter (LETKF) in a top-down approach. The two methods are tested separately and
combined, focusing on a region in western Europe (Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands). In this region, the mean CrIS NH3 total columns
were up to a factor 2 higher than the simulated NH3 columns between 2014 and 2018, which, after assimilating the CrIS NH3
columns using the LETKF algorithm, led to an increase in the total NH3 emissions of up to approximately 30 %. Our results illustrate that CrIS NH3 observations can be used successfully to estimate spatially variable NH3 time factors and improve NH3 emission distributions temporally, especially in spring (March to May). Moreover, the use of the CrIS-based NH3 time factors resulted in an improved comparison with the onset and duration of the NH3 spring peak observed at observation sites at hourly resolution in the Netherlands. Assimilation of the CrIS NH3 columns with the LETKF algorithm is mainly advantageous for improving the spatial concentration distribution of the modeled NH3 fields. Compared to in situ observations, a combination of both methods led to the most significant improvements in modeled monthly NH3 surface concentration and NH4+ wet deposition fields, illustrating the usefulness of the CrIS NH3 products to improve the temporal representativity of the model and better constrain the budget in agricultural areas.

Published: January 2022

Abstract. In remote sensing applications, clouds are generally characterized by two properties: cloud optical thickness (COT) and effective radius of water/ice particles (Reff). Most of the current operational passive remote sensing algorithms use a mono-angular bi-spectral method to retrieve COT and Reff. They are based on pre-computed lookup tables while assuming a homogeneous plane-parallel cloud layer and without considering measurement errors and the choice of ancillary data. We use the formalism of the optimal estimation method applied to near-infrared multi-angular measurements, to retrieve COT and Reff, and the corresponding uncertainties related to the measurement errors, the ancillary data, and the cloud model assumption. The used measurements were acquired by the airborne radiometer OSIRIS (Observing System Including PolaRization in the Solar Infrared Spectrum), developed by the Laboratoire d'Optique Atmosphérique. It provides multi-angular measurements at tens of meters resolution, very suitable for refining our knowledge of cloud properties and their high spatial variability. OSIRIS is based on the POLDER concept as a prototype of the future 3MI space instrument planned to be launched on the EUMETSAT-ESA MetOp-SG platform in 2023. The used approach allows the exploitation of all the angular information available for each pixel to overcome the radiance angular effects. More consistent cloud properties with lower uncertainty compared to operational mono-directional retrieval methods (MODIS-like methods) are then obtained. The framework of the optimal estimation method provides also the possibility to estimate uncertainties of different sources. Three types of errors were evaluated: (1) Errors related to measurement uncertainties, which reach 10 % for high values of COT and Reff, (2) errors related to an incorrect estimation of the ancillary data that remain below 0.5 %, (3) errors related to the simplified cloud physical model assuming homogeneous plane-parallel cloud and the independent pixel approximation. We show that not considering the in-cloud heterogeneous vertical profiles and the 3D radiative transfer effects lead to uncertainties on COT and Reff exceeding 10 %.
Investigating controls of shell growth features in a foundation bivalve species: seasonal trends and decadal changes in the California mussel
Authors: Vriesman Veronica Padilla , Carlson Sandra J. , Hill Tessa M.
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Marine bivalve mollusk shells can offer valuable insights into past oceanographic variability and seasonality. Given its ecological and
archeological significance, Mytilus californianus (California mussel) presents the opportunity to examine seasonal and decadal changes
recorded in its shell over centuries to millennia. While dark–light growth bands in M. californianus shells could be advantageous for
reconstructing past environments, uncertainties remain regarding shell structure, environmental controls of dark–light-band formation, and the
amount of time represented by a dark–light pair. By analyzing a suite of M. californianus shells collected in 2002, 2003, 2019, and 2020
from Bodega Bay, California, we describe the mineralogical composition; establish relationships among the growth band pattern, micro-environment, and
collection season; and compare shell structure and growth band expression between the archival (2002–2003) and modern (2019–2020) shells. We
identified three mineralogical layers in M. californianus: an outer prismatic calcite layer, a middle aragonite layer, and a secondary
inner prismatic calcite layer, which makes M. californianus the only Mytilus species to precipitate a secondary calcite
layer. Within the inner calcite layer, light bands are strongly correlated with winter collection months and could be used to reconstruct periods
with moderate, stable temperatures and minimal upwelling. Additionally, modern shells have significantly thinner inner calcite layers and more
poorly expressed growth bands than the archival shells, although we also show that growth band contrast is strongly influenced by the
micro-environment. Mytilus californianus from northern California is calcifying differently, and apparently more slowly, than it was
20 years ago.
Variability in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma stable isotope ratios from isothermal conditions: implications for individual foraminifera analysis

Published: January 2022

Abstract. Individual foraminifera analysis (IFA) holds promise to reconstruct seasonal
to interannual oceanographic variability. Even though planktonic foraminifera
are reliable recorders of environmental conditions on a population level,
whether they also are on the level of individuals is unknown. Yet, one of the
main assumptions underlying IFA is that each specimen records ocean conditions
with negligible noise. Here we test this assumption using stable isotope data
measured on groups of four shells of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma from
a 16–19 d resolution sediment trap time series from the subpolar
North Atlantic. We find a within-sample variability of 0.11 ‰
and 0.10 ‰ for δ18O and δ13C
respectively that shows no seasonal pattern and exceeds water column variability
in spring when conditions are homogeneous down to hundreds of metres. We assess
the possible effect of life cycle characteristics and delay due to settling on
foraminifera δ18O variability with simulations using
temperature and δ18Oseawater as input. These
simulations indicate that the observed δ18O variability can
only partially be explained by environmental variability. Individual
N. pachyderma are thus imperfect recorders of temperature and
δ18Oseawater. Based on these simulations, we
estimate the excess noise on δ18O to be 0.11±0.06 ‰. The origin and nature of the recording imprecision
require further work, but our analyses highlight the need to take such excess
noise into account when interpreting the geochemical variability among
individual foraminifera.
A New Operational Mediterranean Diurnal Optimally Interpolated SST Product within the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service

Published: January 2022

Abstract. Within the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS), a new operational MEDiterranean Diurnal Optimally Interpolated SST (MED DOISST) product has been developed. This product provides hourly mean maps (Level-4) of sub-skin SST at 1/16° horizontal resolution over the Mediterranean Sea from January 2019 to present. The product is built by combining hourly SST data from the Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager (SEVIRI) on board Meteosat Second Generation and model analyses through optimal interpolation. SEVIRI and model data are respectively used as the observation source and first-guess. The differences between satellite and model SST are free, or nearly free, of any diurnal cycle, thus allowing them to be interpolated in space and time using satellite data acquired at different times of the day. The accuracy of the MED DOISST product is assessed here by comparison against surface drifting buoy measurements, covering the years 2019 and 2020. The diurnal cycle reconstructed from DOISST is in good agreement with the one observed by independent drifter data, with a mean bias of 0.041 ± 0.001 K and root-mean-square difference (RMSD) of 0.412 ± 0.001 K. The new SST product is more accurate than the input model during the central warming hours, when the model, on average, underestimates drifter SST by one tenth of degree. The MED DOISST product is also able to reproduce accurately the extreme diurnal warming events frequently observed in the Mediterranean Sea, which may reach amplitudes larger than 5 K during the warm season. This product can contribute to improve the prediction capability of numerical weather forecast systems (e.g., through improved forcings/assimilation), as well as the monitoring of surface heat budget estimates and temperature extremes which can have significant impacts on the marine ecosystem. The full MED DOISST product (released on 04 May 2021) is available upon free registration at https://doi.org/10.25423/CMCC/SST_MED_PHY_SUBSKIN_L4_NRT_010_036 (Pisano et al., 2021). The reduced subset used here for validation and review purposes is openly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5807729 (Pisano, 2021).
Stochastic description of the bedload sediment flux
Authors: Pierce Kevin , Hassan Marwan , Ferreira Rui
Published: January 2022

Abstract. We present a new formulation of the bedload sediment flux probability distribution. Individual particles obey Langevin equations which are switched on and off by particle entrainment and deposition. The flux is calculated as the rate of many such particles crossing a control surface within a specified observation time. Flux distributions inherit observation-time dependence from the on-off motions of particles. At the longest observation times, distributions converge to sharp peaks around classically-expected values, but at short times, fluctuations are erratic. We relate this scale dependence of bedload transport rates to the movement characteristics of individual grains. This work provides a statistical mechanics description for the fluctuations and observation-scale dependence of sediment transport rates.
GC Insights: Space sector careers resources need a greater diversity of roles
Authors: Archer Martin , Waters Cara , Dewan Shafiat , Foster Simon , Portas Antonio
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Educational research highlights that improved careers education is needed to increase participation in STEM. Current careers resources concerning the space sector, however, are found to perhaps not best reflect the diversity of roles present and may in fact perpetuate misconceptions about the usefulness of science. We, therefore, compile a more diverse set of space-related jobs, which will be used in the development of a new space careers resource.
Narrative Theory / Creative Acts?
Authors: Harrison Keith
Published: January 2022

Though the theoretical study of narrative and the practice of creative writing are usually treated as distinct, even as oppositional, there are places of illuminating convergence, such as the stories and novels of John Barth. Yet on the part of writers a deep distrust of narrative theory persists, a romantic resistance to becoming conscious of fictional forms. This sometimes-justified suspicion of the thought-out as opposed to the felt, often with rooted beliefs in the Muse or the Unconscious or the Body, nourishes a mystique of the inspired artist. But this wish for spontaneous, untutored originality conflicts with the very etymology of”narrating”, which means “knowing”.
República y poema
Authors: Villalobos-Ruminott Sergio
Published: January 2022

El materialismo salvaje desarrollado por Jacques Lezra no solo se opone a las cosmologías y ontologías modernas, articuladas en torno a un principio de organización de lo que hay, sino que también se expresa políticamente bajo la forma de un republicanismo salvaje que difiere no solo del republicanismo liberal sino también del llamado republicanismo normativo ilustrado. ¿De qué trata este republicanismo salvaje, abierto a la diferencia entre terror y terrorismo?, ¿qué consecuencias tiene su desmontaje de los presupuestos normativos y soberanos del pensamiento onto-político occidental? Y, finalmente, ¿qué función/posición cumple/ocupa el poema, no solo el poema lucreciano, sino el poema en general (si hay tal cosa), para esta imaginación política aleatoria, defectiva y salvaje? Con estas preguntas procedemos a interrogar una de las múltiples aristas de un pensamiento concernido con la mundanidad del pensar, cuya relevancia parece ser evidente. Al final, incorporaremos algunas reflexiones sobre el poema de Néstor Perlongher, “Cadáveres” (1987), como caso de la proliferación lucreciana de lo que hay.
