Abstract. In polar regions, glaciers are retreating onto land, gradually widening ice-free coastal waters, which are known to act as new sinks of atmospheric carbon. However, the increasing delivery of inorganic suspended particulate matter (iSPM) with meltwater might significantly impact their capacity to contribute to carbon sequestration. Here, we present an analysis of satellite, meteorological, and SPM data as well as results of a coupled physical–biogeochemical model (1D GOTM-ECOSMO-E2E-Polar) with a newly implemented iSPM group to show the impact of iSPM on the ecosystem dynamics in a warming polar fjord (Hornsund, European Arctic) with numerous shallow-grounded marine-terminating glaciers. Our results indicate that with a longer melt season (9 d per decade, 1979–2022), the loss of sea ice cover (44 d per decade, 1982–2021) and the formation of new marine habitats after the retreat of marine-terminating glaciers (around 100 km2 in 1976–2022, a 38 % increase in the total area), glacial meltwater has transported increasing loads of iSPM from land (3.7 g m−3 per decade, reconstructed for 1979–2022). The simulated light limitation induced by the iSPM input delayed and decreased the peaks in phytoplankton, zooplankton, and macrobenthos. The newly ice-free areas still markedly contributed to plankton primary and secondary production and carbon burial in sediments (5.1, 2.0, and 0.9 Gg C yr−1, respectively, on average for 2005–2009 in the iSPM scenario). However, these values would have been 5.0, 2.1, and 0.1 Gg C yr−1 higher, respectively, without the iSPM input. Since carbon burial was the least affected by iSPM (a decrease of around 16 %, in comparison to 50 % for plankton primary and secondary production), the impact of marine ice loss and enhanced land–ocean connectivity should be investigated further in the context of carbon fluxes in expanding polar fjords.

Published: August 2024

Abstract. Compound flooding, where the combination or successive occurrence of two or more flood drivers leads to a greater impact, can exacerbate the adverse consequences of flooding, particularly in coastal/estuarine regions. This paper reviews the practices and trends in coastal/estuarine compound flood research and synthesizes regional to global findings. Systematic review is employed to construct a literature database of 271 studies relevant to compound flooding in a coastal/estuarine context. This review explores the types of compound flood events, their mechanistic processes, and synthesizes terminology throughout the literature. Considered in the review are six flood drivers (fluvial, pluvial, coastal, groundwater, damming/dam failure, and tsunami) and five precursor events and environmental conditions (soil moisture, snow, temp/heat, fire, and drought). Furthermore, this review summarizes research methodology and study applications trends, and considers the influences of climate change and urban environments. Finally, this review highlights knowledge gaps in compound flood research and discusses the implications on future practices. Our five recommendations for compound flood research are: 1) adopt consistent terminology and approaches; 2) expand the geographic coverage of research; 3) pursue more inter-comparison projects; 4) develop modelling frameworks that better couple dynamic Earth systems; and 5) design urban and coastal infrastructure with compounding in mind.

Abstract. On 15 January 2022, the Hunga volcano (20.5° S, 175.4° E) erupted, releasing significant amounts of aerosols, water vapor (H2O) and a moderate quantity of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the stratosphere. Due to the general stratospheric circulation of the southern hemisphere, this volcanic plume traveled westward and impacted the Indian Ocean and Reunion (21.1° S, 55.5° E) a few days after the eruption. This study aims to describe current observations of an ozone mini-hole in the first week following the eruption. The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite Limb Profiler (OMPS-LP) aerosol extinction profiles were used to investigate the vertical and latitudinal extension of the volcanic plume over the Indian Ocean. The volcanic aerosol plume was also observed with an aerosol lidar and a sun-photometer located at Reunion. The impact of this plume on stratospheric ozone was then investigated using the Microwave Limb Spectrometer (MLS) and Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) ozone profiles and total ozone maps. Results show that the volcanic plume was observed over Reunion at altitudes ranging from 26.8 to 29.7 km and spanned more than 20 degrees of latitude on 22 January while over the Indian Ocean. Ozone maps reveal an ozone mini-hole structure, with a maximum Total Column Ozone (TCO) anomaly of -38.97 ± 25.39 DU from IASI on 21 January. The MLS profiles impacted by the Hunga water vapor plume show an average ozone anomaly of -0.43 ppmv with a standard deviation of 0.66 ppmv at the 14.68 hPa pressure level.

Abstract. Magnetometer measurements are one of the critical components necessary for improving our understanding of the intricate physical processes coupling mass, momentum, and energy within near-Earth space and throughout our solar system. However, these measurements are often contaminated by stray magnetic fields from the spacecraft hosting the magnetic-field sensors, and the data often require the application of interference mitigation algorithms prior to scientific use. Rigorous numerical validation of these techniques can be challenging when the techniques are applied to in situ spaceflight data as a ground truth for the local magnetic field is often unavailable. This paper introduces and details the generation of an open-source dataset designed to facilitate the assessment of interference mitigation techniques for magnetic-field data collected during spaceflight missions. The dataset contains over 100 h of magnetic-field data, comprising mixtures of near-direct-current (near-DC) trends, physically synthesized interference, and pseudo-geophysical phenomena. These constituent source signals have been independently captured by four synchronized magnetometers sampling at a high cadence and combined into 30 min intervals of data representing events and interference seen in historic missions. The physical locations of the four magnetometers relative to the interference sources enable researchers to test their interference mitigation algorithms with various magnetometer suite configurations, and the dataset also provides a ground truth for the underlying interference signals, enabling the rigorous quantification of the results of past, present, and future interference mitigation efforts.

Abstract. Despite considerable efforts and progress in increasing resilience to natural hazards, the adverse socio-economic impacts of extreme weather events continue to increase globally. As climate change progresses, disaster risk management needs alignment with adaptation measures. In this perspective paper, we discuss emerging complications in disaster risk management during recent events from an interoperability perspective. We argue that a lack of interoperability between data and models, information and communication, and governance are barriers to successful integrated disaster risk management and climate adaptation. On this basis, we take a detailed look at the challenges involved and suggest that trans-disciplinary knowledge co-production is key to promoting interoperability between these components. Finally, we outline a framework for enabling knowledge co-production to enhance risk governance by improving ways of facilitating trans-disciplinary stakeholder engagement and draft a novel open-source federated data infrastructure, which allows stakeholders to consolidate and connect relevant data sources, models and information products.

Abstract. In 2018 the first subglacial lake in the Canadian Arctic was proposed to exist beneath the Devon Ice Cap, based on the analysis of airborne radar data. Here, we report a new interpretation of the subglacial material beneath the Devon Ice Cap, supported by data acquired from multiple surface-based geophysical methods in 2022. The geophysical data recorded included 9 km of active-source seismic-reflection profiles, seven transient electromagnetic (TEM) soundings, and 17 magnetotellurics (MT) stations. These surface-based geophysical datasets were collected above the inferred locations of the subglacial lakes and show no evidence for the presence of subglacial water. The acoustic impedance of the subglacial material, estimated from the seismic data, is 9.49 ± 1.92 × 106 kg m−2 s−1, comparable to consolidated or frozen sediment. The resistivity models obtained by inversion of both the TEM and MT measurements show the presence of highly resistive rock layers (1000–100 000 Ω m) directly beneath the ice. Re-evaluation of the airborne reflectivity data shows that the radar attenuation rates were likely overestimated, leading to an overestimation of the basal reflectivity in the original radar studies. Here, we derive new radar attenuation rates using the temperature- and chemistry-dependent Arrhenius equation, and when applied to correct the returned bed power, the bed power does not meet the basal reflectivity threshold expected over subglacial water. Thus, the radar interpretation is now consistent with the seismic and electromagnetic observations of dry or frozen, non-conductive basal material.
Flight guidance concept for the launching and landing phase of a flying wing used in an airborne wind energy system
Authors: Duda Dominik Felix , Fuest Hendrik , Islam Tobias , Moormann Dieter
Published: August 2024

Abstract. Airborne wind energy is an emerging technology that utilizes tethered airborne systems in high-altitude wind fields to harvest energy. The employment of flying wings as airborne systems holds considerable promise concerning system performance, given their favorable aerodynamic characteristics. Moreover, when designed as motorized tailsitter, they can provide vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. However, the processes of launching, defined as the transition from takeoff to energy-harvesting flight, and landing, defined as the transition back, present considerable challenges for such flying wing AWES. To ensure the safe operation of the flying wing, it is essential to consider the controllability at varying wind speeds and the limitations imposed by the tether. To address this, a suitable guidance concept for the launching and landing phases of the aforementioned flying wing AWES has been devised. The concept is subjected to analysis taken into account specific system parameters, including turning radius, operating height, and wind speed. In light of these considerations, a flight regime can be identified. This is considered in the design of a guidance controller, which represents the top level of a cascaded flight controller. The lower levels of the controller comprise a translational controller and a rotational controller. The performance of the overall controller is demonstrated through a simulation of a representative wind field and corresponding system parameters. The results indicate that the control concept successfully facilitates the desired launching and landing in simulations. Future research may build upon the developed guidance and focus on identifying additional and more arbitrary flight paths for launching and landing.
Optimal Tree Species to Stabilise Slopes at Baroon Pocket Dam Catchment, Maleny, South East Queensland
Authors:   , Utami Ni Wayan Febriana
Published: August 2024

Baroon Pocket Dam Catchment in Queensland, Australia, is a high-risk area for landslides because of its steep slopes and history of forest clearing for agriculture. This research aimed to understand the growth of different tree species above and belowground in three identified landslide active zones: ranging from high to low. Araucaria spp. after 8 years of growth successfully stabilised a previously high-risk unstable slope. Seedlings of Eucalyptus and Araucaria spp. were also able to survive high movement plots even in very high rainfall years. Future research should investigate the cost-effectiveness of more diverse tree plantations and different tree spacing regimes.
ON THE PROTECTION OF THE QUR’ĀN -in the Context of Verse 9 of Sūrat al-Ḥijr-
Authors: Aytekin Ayşe
Published: August 2024

Divine messages, which are guides and directives for humanity, have been tried to be understood and interpreted from the moment they were sent, but due to human weaknesses, issues and problems, the revelations called books have not been given due attention. Subsequently, the newest, the latest, the most solid and the most definitive source of revelation was sent instead of the Divine books that were distorted or corrupted. The latest and the most perfect of this chain of revelation, which has essentially the same content, assignment, mission and vision, and which confirms, validates and complements each other, is the Holy Qur’ān. This divine word, according to the Creator Himself, will be preserved by Himself. Whether this preservation is in the physical dimension or in the meaning has been a matter of academic debate among scholars. Verse 9 of Sūrat al-Ḥijr is at the center of these debates. In our study, we have endeavored to investigate this verse in its context according to the interpretations of two different schools of commentators. According to the data we have obtained, the Divine word is free from both human endeavors and the interventions of superhuman beings. It will forever be preserved both physically and semantically by its Creator and will continue to be the only, the most unique and the most accurate source for humanity.
جدليَّة العلاقة بين التفسير الإشاري والظاهري عند المفسِّرين الإشاريين

كان وما زال التأويلُ هو الأساس الذي قام عليه التفسيرُ الباطنيُّ بأنواعه المختلفة، والوسيلة الأهم في تكوين قناعات أصحابه، ونشر أفكارهم، وتأييد معتقداتهم، ولذلك كانت طبيعة هذا التأويل، ومرجعيَّتُهُ، وعلاقتُهُ بظاهر الخطاب القرآني، هو الحدُّ الفاصل بين أنواعه، وهو ما أدَّى إلى انقسام التفاسير الباطنيَّة إلى قسمين: باطني إشاري صوفي، وباطني إلحادي، وقد اجتهد المفسرون في التمييز بينهما، حتَّى أجمعوا على أنَّ المرجعيَّة إلى التفسير بظواهر اللغة، والإقرار بها، والانطلاق منها هو جوهر التمييز والفصل بينهما، فالتفسير الذي يُقِرَّ صاحبُهُ بقبول التفسير الظاهر والأخذ به في التفسير مع إضافة ما يَعنُّ له من استنباطات وما يفتح الله عليه من فتوحات يُسَمَّى بالتفسير الإشاري الصوفي، وما يرفض صاحِبُهُ فيه الإقرار بظواهر الخطاب، ويُغرِق في الابتعاد عنه، ويُسرِف في التأويل، يُسمَّى بالتفسير الباطني الإلحادي، وبهذا التمييز وُجِدَت جدليَّةٌ بين التفسير الإشاري والتفسير بظواهر الخطاب. وتحاول هذه الدراسة أن تختبر مصداقيَّة هذا المقياس أو هذه الشرط الجوهري الفاصل بين منهج التفسير الباطني الإشاري والمنهج الباطني الإلحادي، وأن تلقي الضوء على هذه العلاقة الجدليَّة في الجمع بين التفسير بظاهر الألفاظ والتأويل الإشاري عند المفسرين الإشاريين، ومدى قناعتهم بهذا الجمع وتلك الجدليَّة، ومدى محافظتهم عليها والتزامهم بها في تفاسيرهم، والنظر في طرقهم وأساليبهم الإشاريَّة ومعرفة مصادرهم التفسيريَّة، واستقراء خصائص منهج كلِّ مفسِّرٍ منهم، ولتحقيق ذلك اعتمدت الدراسة على كتابات هؤلاء المفسِّرين النظريَّة من خلال المقدِّمات التي كتبوها لتفاسيرهم، والجانب التطبيقي لهم من خلال أمثلةٍ من تفسيرهم لآيات القرآن الكريم، وجاءت الدراسة في مقدمة ومبحثين: تناول الأول الجانب النظري، والآخر الجانب التطبيقي، وقد اعتمدت الدراسة على المنهج الاستقرائي التحليلي.
Muhammad Iqbal And The Turks
Authors: İşsever Muhsin Ramazan
Published: August 2024

Muslim Turkic relations with India were first established as a result of the Ghaznavid military expeditions to India.
Following the Ghaznavids, the Turk dominion over the subcontinent, which lasted for approximately eight
centuries, came to an end with the downfall of the Mughal Turks State by the British in 1857. The presence of the
Caliphate within the Ottoman State further strengthened the close ties between Indian Muslims and Turks.
Rebelling against the exploitation of his homeland by the British, Muhammad Iqbal admired the Turks for their
refusal to compromise on independence, their passion for liberty, and the respect they commanded for their efforts
in this pursuit. He empathized with the joys and sorrows of the Turks, considering them as his own. Iqbal, with his
profound affection for the Turks, not only shared spiritual sentiments but also gathered material support from the
Indian populace through meetings he organized. Iqbal, who articulated that the exemplary successes of the Turks
in their struggle for liberation altered the subcontinent’s perception of the seemingly invincible British,
emphasized the significance of independence and highlighted how the Turks inspired and guided the people of the
subcontinent with courage. Iqbal, who maintained good relations with significant Turkish figures of his time,
exchanged ideas with Said Halim Pasha, who is recognized as the founding leader of the Pan-Islamism movement.
Admiring the great effort and bravery demonstrated by Turks in independence struggle, Iqbal regarded them as the
savior of the deteriorating situation and the leader of the Islamic world. This study presents Iqbal’s views and
poems about the Turks.

Authors: Amjad Roshina , Lalwani Renuka , Qureshi Faizan Ali , Phulpoto Summaya
Published: August 2024

The study explores the role and impact of servant leadership (SL) on employee psychological well-being and creativity in the healthcare industry. SL, rooted in traditional values, prioritizes others' needs and promotes moral behavior and ethical viewpoints. The study explores the impact of social learning (SL) on employee creativity and psychological well-being in the healthcare sector, demonstrating its alignment with the profession's commitment to quality patient care. The study postulates and empirically show the favorable relationships between SL and employee creativity and psychological well-being, building on the “Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory”. A study was conducted using an online survey to gather data on physicians' perspectives and features in the hospital setting. The survey, conducted in collaboration with healthcare providers, involved 122 physicians aged 18-40+, with 49% female and 51% male. Data was collected using Google Forms, and participants' experiences ranged from 5 to over 20 years. The study used convenience and purposive sampling approaches to increase sample diversity. Despite limitations like self-administrative data and selection bias, the technique provided a systematic understanding of physicians' perspectives and hospital settings. The study reveals a strong positive correlation between employee creativity (EC) and servant leadership (SL), highlighting its role in fostering innovative workplace cultures. It also reveals a strong correlation between SL and psychological well-being, confirming its ability to improve mental health and job happiness in healthcare workers. The study's theoretical implications integrate the JD-R theory and provide insights into contextual elements affecting SL effectiveness. Companies are encouraged to incorporate SL practices into their management strategies to promote creativity and prioritize employee welfare. However, the study's shortcomings, such as its cross-sectional methodology and geographical focus, suggest the need for more research projects. The study concludes that an effective leadership style is servant leadership in the healthcare industry, promoting creative and healthy work cultures.

Published: August 2024

This research explores the potential of a sustainable fisheries sector in Sukamara Regency, Central Kalimantan, which is rich in fisheries resources, both freshwater and marine. This study identified the potential for freshwater fish production of 10,000 tons annually and marine fish of 8,000 tons yearly, with superior species such as snakehead fish, baung, catfish, snapper, grouper, and tuna. Although the fishing sector has an essential role in the local economy, unsustainable fishing practices have led to overfishing, environmental degradation, infrastructure problems, and limited technological knowledge. This research emphasizes the importance of sustainable fisheries practices through ecosystem-based management, the use of environmentally friendly technology, and education and training programs to increase the capacity of fishermen. The economic impact shows an increase in the average income of fishermen by 25%, while the social impact includes an increase in the welfare of coastal communities by 20%. Environmental impacts include the restoration of mangrove and coral reef ecosystems with increased area and cover of live coral. The main challenges include overfishing, environmental degradation, lack of infrastructure, and limited technological knowledge. Proposed strategies to overcome these challenges include strengthening policies and regulations, improving infrastructure, education and training, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and research and development. By implementing this strategy, the potential of the sustainable fisheries sector in Sukamara can be optimized, providing significant economic, social, and environmental benefits and becoming a model for other regions in sustainable natural resource management.

Enlightening the Relationship Between Epilepsy and Depression
Authors: Rama Rao Tadikonda , Sharmeen Hafsa , Tabassum Afshaan
Published: August 2024

The most common concomitant mental illness with epilepsy is depression. According to population-based research, its lifetime prevalence ranges from 6% to 30%, and among patients monitored at tertiary hospitals, it can reach 50%. According to estimates, the risk of suicide is ten times higher than that of the general population. No one disputes the link between epilepsy and depression, but new research has now shown that a history of depression is linked to a 4- to 6-fold increased risk of epilepsy. There is the possibility of a "bi-directional" interaction between these two illnesses or the existence of shared pathogenic pathways that make it easier for one to arise when the other is present. The emotional cost of chronic disease, genetic predispositions, and common neurobiological pathways including neurotransmitter dysregulation are some of the variables that contribute to this comorbidity. Antiepileptic medications (AEDs) can also affect mood, either making depression symptoms worse or making them better. Despite its relatively high prevalence, depression remains unrecognized and untreated, and unfortunately its treatment is based on empirical and uncontrolled data.

In this study, NR/PAni latex blends with different amounts of doped PAni and surfactants (sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate [SDBS] and sodium dodecyl sulfate [SDS]) were prepared through prevulcanization. The films were prepared from prevulcanized latexes by casting in a petri dish or with the spin coating method. The conditions suitable for prevulcanization were investigated. The effect of doped PAni amounts and the surfactants SDBS and SDS on the mechanical, electrical conductivity, and physico-chemical surface properties and morphologies of NR/PAni films were characterized. The results indicated that PAni doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) was well dispersed in NR latex in the presence of 0.01 mol/w% of SDBS. The highest amount of doped PAni that was dispersed was 17 w/w%. The properties of the blend of NR and DBSA-doped PAni were superior to those of the other blends. The compatibility between SDBS and DBSA was the dominant factor in improving the properties of the film prepared from the prevulcanized NR/PAni latex blend.

Os divertículos duodenais são achados mais frequentemente na segunda porção do duodeno. Podem apresentar associação com doenças pancreatobiliares, como coledocolitíase e pancreatite aguda, sendo a compreensão dessa relação ainda limitada. Outras complicações do quadro, como a perfuração espontânea destes divertículos, são raras e graves, com potencial necessidade de abordagem cirúrgica e elevada morbimortalidade. Neste artigo, realizamos uma revisão de literatura sobre o tema e descrevemos o caso de uma paciente com quadro de pancreatite aguda biliar com coledocolitíase associada a retropneumoperitônio por perfuração de divertículo duodenal, submetida a manejo clínico da pancreatite e tratamento conservador da perfuração com posterior abordagem endoscópica do quadro de coledocolitíase.

The Role of Five Classical Signs of Inflammation in the Pathogenesis and Clinical Picture of Acute Pneumonia
Authors:   Professor, Retired Renton, WA, USA., Klepikov Igor
Published: August 2024

The modern understanding of of the acute inflammatory process of the lungs is based on the characteristics of pathogens, the aggressive properties of which modern medicine has been trying for many years to explain the severity and nuances of clinical manifestations, and their effective neutralization is presented as the main and in fact the only way to achieve a therapeutic effect. This concept of solving the problem arose after receiving the first results of the use of antibiotics and, despite a significant change in primary conditions and the loss of antimicrobial drugs of their effectiveness and even their previous purpose, has established itself as an absolutely dominant professional point of view. A number of important factors that become more and more convincing over time, contradict existing views and reflect the further futility of attempts at an applied solution, are mentioned in the literature only as a statement of reality, but remain without practical conclusions and changes in strategy.

Published: August 2024

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare life-threatening inflammatory response syndrome associated with immune deregulation, which is prone to misdiagnosis due to the lack of specificity of clinical symptoms, leading to poor prognosis. COVID-19 is an acute respiratory disease with high infectiousness caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Currently, HLH induced by COVID-19 is rare, increasing the complexity of clinical diagnosis. In our hematology department, we encountered a case of HLH triggered by COVID-19 with severe condition. After the diagnosis was clarified, the patient received the HLH-2004 treatment programme immediately. The patient is currently in complete remission. Given the rarity of the reported cases, we would like to share this case to provide clinicians with insights for the diagnosis and treatment of the condition.

Individuals who have been diagnosed with either Type I or Type II diabetes face a number of emotional challenge. Children and adolescents are faced with self-monitoring and trips to the local physician and adults are faced with dietary and self-medication challenges. This paper explores some of the issues faced by counselors who work with children/adolescents and adults with diabetes. Diabetes is an ever increasing health challenge for many reasons. Many individuals are undiagnosed, some do not adhere to treatment regimens and diet and exercise and smoking cessation and others refuse to comply with the directions of the physician or diabetes educator. Some individuals require more extensive monitoring than others and some function quite autonomously and independently. Some individuals experience a wide range of emotions relative to their coping with diabetes and others have minimal coping skills. Some fatigue under the stress and strain of insulin and medication and others abhor the dietary regimens. This paper will attempt to address the needed counseling issues and realms that need to be explored by health care professionals as well as therapists and counselor.

A querela do humanismo (1967)
Authors: Althusser Louis
Published: August 2024

No detalhe das futilidades e das querelas, seja a favor ou contra o humanismo, é necessário render-se à evidência: a História adora as histórias. A querela do humanismo começou o mais calmamente possível. Num dia do verão de 1963, eu encontrei por acaso na casa de um amigo o Doutor Adam Schaff, membro da Direção de um de nossos partidos comunistas. Responsável pelos intelectuais junto à Direção do partido comunista polonês, Schaff é um filósofo conhecido por suas obras sobre a semântica e sobre o problema do homem no marxismo, e um dirigente político apreciado pela sua cultura e sua abertura de espírito.
