Modeling global wildfire activity in the intermediate complexity University of Victoria Earth System Climate Model (UVic ESCM 2.9): the importance of the simulated climatology
Authors: Guertin Étienne , Matthews H. Damon
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Fire is an integral part of the Earth system, interacting in complex ways with humans, vegetation and climate. Global fire activity is an important element of the carbon cycle, and understanding its role in the context of climate change is crucial. In order to represent the transient fire-climate-vegetation interactions and to integrate these in the long term climate projections of climate models, coupling these three components is necessary. Global fire models have been coupled to climate-vegetation models with complex atmosphere modules but these models are computationally intensive. In this research, we use the University of Victoria Earth System Climate Model (UVic ESCM), an ESCM of intermediate complexity to which we couple a process based global fire model, in order to develop a computationally efficient means of studying long term fire-climate-vegetation interactions. The fire model used simulates burned area based primarily on relative humidity, soil moisture and biomass density. The UViC ESCM’s simulated relative humidity is improved by parameterizing it according to the simulated precipitation, and observational variability is added to the simulated climatology to improve the variability of simulated burned area. The best parameterization achieves a moderate spatial agreement of simulated burned area with observational data. Tropical rainforests in South America and Africa, however, display very high burned fractions, due to the poorly simulated relative humidity input; indeed, when we used observed relative humidity to simulate fire activity, the pattern of burned area in the tropics improved substantially. This research demonstrates the importance of variability and regional patterns of climatology for global wildfire activity and the corresponding limitations of ESCMs that simplify atmospheric circulation. This suggests that using pattern scaling of climate variables as an input to fire models could provide such ESCMs of intermediate complexity with the ability to integrate global fire activity.

Published: November 2022

Abstract. Scattering codes are used to study the optical properties of Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSC). Backscattering and extinction can be computed with available scattering codes once the particle size distribution (PSD) is known and a suitable refractive index is assumed. However, PSCs often appear as external mixtures of Supercooled Ternary Solution (STS) droplets, solid Nitric Acid Trihydrate (NAT) and possibly ice particles, making questionable the assumption of a single refractive index and a single morphology to model the scattarers. Here we consider a set of fifteen coincident measurements of PSC above McMurdo Station, Antarctica, by ground-based lidar and balloon-borne Optical Particle Counters (OPC), and in situ observations taken by a laser backscattersonde and an OPC during four balloon stratospheric flights from Kiruna, Sweden. This unique dataset of microphysical and optical observations allows to test the performances of optical scattering models when both spherical and aspherical scatterers of different composition and, possibly, shapes are present. Here we consider particles as STS if their radius is below a certain threshold value Rth and NAT or possibly ice if above it. The refractive indices are assumed known from the literature. Mie scattering is used for the STS, assumed spherical, while scattering from NAT particles, considered as spheroids of different Aspect Ratio (AR), is treated with T-Matrix results where applicable, and of geometric-optics-integral-equation approach where the particle size parameter is too large to allow for a convergence of the T matrix method. The parameters Rth and AR of our model are chosen to provide the best match with the observed optical backscattering and depolarization. The comparison of the calculations with the measures is satisfactory for the backscattering but not so for the depolarization, and possible causes are discussed. The results of this work help to understand the limits of the application of these scattering theories in modeling the optical response of particles of different composition and morphology.
The probabilistic nature of dune collisions in 2D
Authors: Jarvis Paul A. , Narteau Clement , Rozier Olivier , Vriend Nathalie M.
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Dunes are bedforms of different size and shape, appearing throughout aeolian, subaqueous and extra-terrestrial environments. Collisions between dunes drive dune field evolution, and are a direct result of interacting dunes of different heights, travelling at different speeds. We perform 2D cellular automaton simulations of collisions between dune pairs migrating in a steady flow. Modelled collisions can result in either downstream- or upstream-dominant coalescence (merging of dunes) or ejection, where dunes exchange mass before separating. For each of these three elementary types of interaction, we identify the mass exchange mechanism and the distinctive intermediate morphologies. Surprisingly, we show that the collision outcome depends probabilistically on the initial dune area ratio r and can be described by a narrow sigmoidal function centred on r = 1/2. Finally, we compare our simulations with laboratory experiments of dune collisions, finding good agreement concerning the intermediate morphology and the collision outcome. Our results can motivate further observational or experimental studies that validate our probabilistic collision predictions and fully determine the controls on the coalescence-ejection transition.

Abstract. Cosmic-ray neutron sensing (CRNS) has emerged as a reliable method for soil moisture and snow estimation. However, the applicability of this method beyond research has been limited due to, among others, the use of relatively large and expensive sensors. This paper presents the tests conducted to a new scintillator-based sensor especially designed to jointly measure neutron counts, total gamma-rays, and muons. The neutron signal is firstly compared against two conventional gas-tube-based CRNS sensors at two locations (Austria and Germany). The estimated soil moisture is further assessed at four agricultural sites in Italy based on gravimetric soil moisture collected within the sensor footprint. The results show that the signal detected by the new scintillator-based CRNS sensor is well in agreement with the conventional CRNS sensors and with the gravimetric soil moisture measurements. In addition, the muons and the total gamma-rays simultaneously detected by the sensor show promising features for a better correction of the incoming variability and for discriminating irrigation and precipitation events, respectively. Further experiments and analyses should be conducted, however, to better understand the added value of these additional data for soil moisture estimation. Overall, the new scintillator design shows to be a valid and compact alternative to conventional CRNS sensors for non-invasive soil moisture monitoring that can open the path to a wide range of applications.
An inconsistency in aviation emissions between CMIP5 and CMIP6 and the implications for short-lived species and their radiative forcing

Abstract. We report on an inconsistency in the latitudinal distribution of aviation emissions between the data products of phases 5 and 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). Emissions in the CMIP6 data occur at higher latitudes than in the CMIP5 data for all scenarios, years, and emitted species. A comparative simulation with the chemistry-climate model EMAC reveals that the difference in nitrogen oxides emission distribution leads to reduced overall ozone changes due to aviation in the CMIP6 scenarios, because in those scenarios the distribution of emissions is partly shifted towards the chemically less active higher latitudes. The radiative forcing associated with aviation ozone is 7.6 % higher for the year 2015 when using the CMIP5 latitudinal distribution of emissions compared to when using the CMIP6 distribution. We do not find a statistically significant difference in the radiative forcing associated with aviation aerosol emissions.
Development of an integrated socio-hydrological modeling framework for assessing the impacts of shelter location arrangement and human behaviors on flood evacuation processes

Published: November 2022

Abstract. In many flood-prone areas, it is essential for emergency responders to use advanced computer models to assess flood risk and develop informed flood evacuation plans. However, previous studies have limited understanding of how evacuation performances are affected by the arrangement of evacuation shelters regarding their number and geographical distribution and human behaviors regarding the heterogeneity of household evacuation preparation times and route searching strategies. In this study, we develop an integrated socio-hydrological modeling framework that couples (1) a hydrodynamic model for flood simulation, (2) an agent-based model for evacuation management policies and human behaviors, and (3) a transportation model for simulating household evacuation processes in a road network. We apply the model to the Xiong’an New Area and examine household evacuation outcomes under various shelter location plans and human behavior scenarios. The results show that household evacuation processes are significantly affected by the number and geographical distribution of evacuation shelters. Surprisingly, we find that establishing more shelters may not improve evacuation results if the shelters are not strategically located. We also find that low heterogeneity in evacuation preparation times can result in heavy traffic congestion and long evacuation clearance times. If each household selects their own shortest route without considering the effects of other evacuees’ route choices, traffic congestions will likely to occur, thereby reducing system-level evacuation performance. These results demonstrate the unique functionality of our model to support flood risk assessment and to advance our understanding of how the multiple management and behavioral factors jointly affect evacuation performances.

Published: November 2022

Abstract. Over the last two decades, the topic of earthquake-triggered landslides (EQTLs) has shown an increasing relevance in the scientific community. This interest is confirmed by the numerous articles published in the international, peer-reviewed journals. In this work we present a database containing a selection of articles published on this topic from 1984 to 2021. The articles were selected through a systematic search on the Clarivate analytics’ Web of Science-Core Collection™ online platform and were catalogued into a web-GIS, which was specifically designed to show different types of information. After a general analysis of the database, for each article were identified the bibliometric information (e.g., author(s), title, publication year), the relevant topic/sub-topic category(s) and the addressed earthquake(s). The analysis allowed to infer general information and statistics on EQTLs (e.g., relevant methodological approaches over time and in relation to the scale of investigation, most-studied events), which can be useful to get a spatial distribution of the articles and a general overview of the topic.

Abstract. Modelling the past and future evolution of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) to atmospheric and ocean forcing is challenged by the availability and quality of observed palaeo-boundary conditions. Key potential data for reconstructing past ice-sheet processes on large spatial scales are Internal Reflecting Horizons (IRHs) detected by Radio-Echo Sounding (RES) techniques. When isochronal and dated at ice cores, IRHs can be used to determine palaeo-accumulation rates and patterns. Using a spatially extensive IRH over Pine Island Glacier, Thwaites Glacier, Institute and Möller Ice Streams, and a local layer approximation model, we infer mid-Holocene accumulation rates over the slow-flowing parts of these catchments for the past ~5000 years. By comparing our results with modern climate reanalysis models and observational syntheses, we estimate that accumulation rates over the Amundsen-Weddell-Ross divide were on average 18 % higher than modern rates during the mid-Holocene. However, no significant spatial changes in the accumulation pattern were observed. These higher mid-Holocene accumulation-rate estimates match previous palaeo-accumulation estimates from ice-core and targeted IPR surveys over the ice divide, and also coincide with periods of grounding-line re-advance during the Holocene over the Weddell and Ross Sea sectors. Our results highlight the need for ice-sheet models to account for time-varying accumulation rates across the WAIS during the Holocene to provide better estimates of its contribution to past sea-level rise.

Abstract. The North-East Greenland Ice Stream has recently seen significant change to its floating margins, and has been identified as vulnerable to future climate warming. Inflow of warm Atlantic Intermediate Water (AIW) from the continental shelf has been observed in the vicinity of the Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden (79N) Glacier calving front, but AIW penetration deep into the ice shelf cavity has not been observed directly. Here, we report temperature and salinity measurements from profiles in an epishelf lake, which provide the first direct evidence of AIW proximal to the grounding line of 79N Glacier, over 50 km from the calving front. We also report evidence for partial un-grounding of the margin of 79N taking place at the western end of the epishelf lake. Comparison of our measurements to those close to the calving front shows that AIW transits the cavity to reach the grounding line within a few months. The observations provide support for modelling studies that infer AIW-driven basal melt proximal to the grounding line and demonstrate that offshore oceanographic changes can be rapidly transmitted throughout the sub-ice shelf cavity, with implications for near-future stability of the ice stream.
Modelling the evolution of Arctic multiyear sea ice over 2000–2018

Published: November 2022

Abstract. Multiyear sea ice (MYI) cover in the Arctic has been monitored for decades using increasingly sophisticated remote sensing techniques, and these have documented a significant decline in MYI over time. However, such techniques are unable to differentiate between the processes affecting the evolution of the MYI. Further, estimating the thickness, and thus the volume of MYI remains challenging. In this study we employ a sea ice-ocean model to investigate the changes to MYI over the period 2000–2018. We exploit the Lagrangian framework of the sea ice model to introduce a new method of tracking MYI area and volume, which is based on identifying MYI during freeze onset each autumn. The model is found to successfully reproduce the spatial distribution and evolution of observed MYI extent. We discuss the balance of the processes (melt, ridging, export, and replenishment) linked to the general decline in MYI cover. The model suggests that rather than one process dominating the losses, there is an episodic imbalance between the different sources and sinks of MYI. We identify those key to the significant observed declines of 2007 and 2012; while melt and replenishment are important in 2012, sea ice dynamics play a significant role in 2007. Notably, the model suggests that convergence of the ice, through ridging, can result in large reductions of MYI area without a corresponding loss of MYI volume. This highlights the benefit of using models alongside satellite observations to aid interpretation of the observed MYI evolution in the Arctic.
Exploring Limiting Factors of Wear in Pitch Bearings of Wind Turbines with Real Scale Tests
Authors: Behnke Karsten , Schleich Florian
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Oscillating movements under load can cause wear in rolling bearings. Blade bearings of wind turbines are subject to both. To know how to avoid wear in these bearings is important since they ensure the operational safety of the turbine. Oscillations of blade bearings vary in load, speed, and amplitude. The objective of this work is to find limits of these operating parameters with regards to wear occurrence. To this end several tests with real size bearings were carried out. The test parameters are based on typical operating conditions of a reference turbine. The size of the bearings and the test parameters differ from other published test results for oscillating bearings. The test results show that wear occurs for every tested combination of load, speed, and amplitude of a steady oscillating movement. Even if the wear characteristics differ between tests, each of them resulted in wear. Hence, no wear limits can be defined within typical operating conditions of a wind turbine below which wear does not occur. Tests with a discontinuity in the steady oscillation movement, however, did not result in wear. Such discontinuities can be longer movements embedded in steady oscillations. They are characteristic to wind turbine operation, where longer movements are a reaction to wind gusts.
The revised FLORIDyn model: implementation of heterogeneous flow and the Gaussian wake

Published: November 2022

Abstract. In this paper, a new version of the FLOw Redirection and Induction Dynamics (FLORIDyn) model is presented. The new model uses the three-dimensional parametric Gaussian FLORIS model and can provide dynamic wind farm simulations at a low computational cost under heterogeneous and changing wind conditions. Both FLORIS and FLORIDyn are parametric models which can be used to simulate wind farms, evaluate controller performance and can serve as a control-oriented model. One central element in which they differ is in their representation of flow dynamics: FLORIS neglects these and provides a computationally very cheap approximation of the mean wind farm flow.
FLORIDyn defines a framework which utilizes this low computational cost of FLORIS to simulate basic wake dynamics. This is achieved by creating so-called observation points (OPs) at each time step at the rotor plane which inherit the turbine state. In this work, we develop the initial FLORIDyn framework further considering multiple aspects. The underlying FLORIS wake model is replaced by a Gaussian wake model. The distribution and characteristics of the OPs are adapted to account for the new parametric model but also to take complex flow conditions into account. To achieve this, a mathematical approach is developed to combine the parametric model and the changing, heterogeneous world conditions and link them with each OP. We also present a computationally lightweight wind field model to allow for a simulation environment in which heterogeneous flow conditions are possible. FLORIDyn is compared to Simulator for Offshore Wind Farm Applications (SOWFA) simulations in three- and nine-turbine cases under static and changing environmental conditions. The results show a good agreement with the timing of the impact of upstream state changes on downstream turbines. They also show a good agreement in terms of how wakes are displaced by wind direction changes and when the resulting velocity deficit is experienced by downstream turbines. A good fit of the mean generated power is ensured by the underlying FLORIS model. In the three-turbine case, FLORIDyn simulates 4 s simulation time in 24.49 ms computational time. The resulting new FLORIDyn model proves to be a computationally attractive and capable tool for model-based dynamic wind farm control.

The subject of Fitana(trials) is very broad and has many aspects. This humble work focuses on one important aspect that is awareness. Fully educating the generations on how to face the time of trials and to know the reality and effects of these trials and tribulations. Furthermore, it is also important to note the intensity of the threat it poses and wisely chalking out a strategy to interact with them and to assess the damage made to human life in the light of guiding principles and provisions derived from the Quran and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and biographies of our righteous ancestors. If the Muslim community follows them in true letter and spirit, it will never be regretted or disappointed. The guiding principles include ignoring rumors by encouraging sensible use of tongue and verifying the news before believing it. Spreading rumors is one of the deadliest weapons of enemies to destroy unity of the Ummah and creating atmosphere of chaos and anarchy. Precisely, it is evident that objectives of Sharia cannot be ensured, and Islamic renaissance cannot take place in the absence of self-consciousness, non-inclusive education system and without being cognizant of events around us.

A Large number of Tafaseer (Exegeses) have been compiled in SubContinent under many trends of Tafaaseer.One of these trends is according to Coherence (Rabt) of Quraan. Many nterpreters (Mufassareen) also compiled their Tafaseer with the preference Of Rabat-O-Nezam (Coherence). One of them was Molana Ghulam Ullah Khan who was the representative of famous Maktab E Tafseer, Hussain Ali Alwani, with coherence. He compiled Tafseer Jawahir Ul Qur'an which is not only the collection of the references of basic Tafaaseer but also a great source of Rabt-O-Nazm-E-Quran. In fact, this Tafseer is compiled on the bases of Tafseer 'Bulghat Ul Hairaan' written by his Shaikh and teacher 'Molana Hussain Ali Alwani 'of Mianwali, who was considered a great mufassir (Interpreter of Qur'an) of Subcontinent. In order to explain The Quranic verses with coherence, Molana Ghulam Ullah Khan used various techniques ,ways and aspects like: The coherence Of surah with surah by their names and by their meanings, The coherent summaries of surahs, coherence of verses with verses,The use of many specific and unique terminologies to connect the topics and verses of Qur'an and interpretation of Qur'an according to the context. This work in Tafseer proved very useful not only in relateing and connecting the verses but also in understanding The Qur'an easily. This Tafseer and its methodology is considered very useful in urdu to understand Qur'an and can be used as a model and example for working on Rabt O Nazm-E-Qur'an also. In this article besides introducing this interpretation and its interpreter all the techniques and aspects have been discussed that are used uniquely by the interpreter of Jawahir Ul Qur'an to create coherence in Quranic meanings so that these can be followed for this purpose as a good model.

In the present day, the acquisition of mixed animals has become common. In the light of the principles of cross breeding, GMO or cloning, a new species of new qualities is obtained by interlinking forbidden and Halāl animals. It is a problem to decide status of mixed race. The Jurisprudence of Aḥnāf believes that if the mother of such an animal is Halāl and the child is similar to the mother, such an animal is lawful. The religion of jurists except Aḥnāf is more, that is, if one of the two is lawful, this animal will still be lawful in every condition. The Fuqhā of Shāfa'ī and Ḥanāblāh do not consider it to be subservient to anyone, but the Shāfa'ī do not consider it to be subject to the mother in Zakāt. Although all these jurist scholars justify the combination of one species of animal with another. There is more complexity in the religion of jurisprudence and jurisprudence. On the one hand, they give these animals a new identity, while on the other hand they consider mules to be lawful. According to Ẓāhriah, such animals have an element of sanctity, so since the texts are silent about all such new species, these animals will not be lawful. The main argument for such animals to be lawful is the change of the meaning and reality. When the element changes, the order will also change.

Islam does not limit our life to prayer, fasting, Hajj, Zakat, Jihad, Da'wah, and preaching, but it guides us to follow the path of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) which is a model for all humanity. The bright and ideal aspect of his life is that he not only preached prayers and fasting but also conveyed the message of human rights, He worked and conveyed this message to his Companions for maintaining human rights and the importance of kinship.  Living in society is an integral part of the comprehensive concept of goodness that Islam has given to humanity. The survival and security of a nation depend on a pure bond like marriage. Islam has made marriage an important part of the formation of human society. Islamic law has protected the rights, identities, and preferences of the people so that the world order is maintained harmoniously. The spirit of Islam is based on the integration of thought and action, ideology, and practice at individual and communal levels.

A Muslim, by consuming Ḥalāl food, wants to fulfill his/ her requirement but it's difficult for him to differentiate between Ḥalāl and Haram products. Because items are now in abundance, and they are manufactured using complex technologies; it alters the composition of products. Also, compound products are more common than simple products. In compound products, one can find a blend of hundreds of ingredients that are imported from different corners of the world. Therefore, after manufacturing, no product remains local. Owing to these reasons, it's difficult for a Muslim to identify Ḥalāl products. Here comes the role of a state. In order to ensure the supply of Ḥalāl food items, government establish some institutions under its supervision to regulate and control food items. These institutions are known are Ḥalāl certification institutes. In this scheme, the Audit process plays a fundamental role because it differentiates between the Ḥalāl and Haram products.  Due to the sensitivity, importance, and complexity of this audit process, it is essential to supervise this whole process under Shari‘ah's instructions.

One of the contemporary challenges to Islamic thought is the challenge of reform in education in Muslim lands. Much has been said about the importance and the need for reforms in education in an Islamic paradigm specifically for Muslim societies. In the recent past, one such kind of endeavor was the Islamization of Knowledge. According to Ismā‘il Rajī Al-Fārūqī, the Islamization of knowledge aims to recast the entire heritage of human knowledge from an Islamic standpoint. However, different scholars suggested, that many of them adopted a variety of approaches and different methodologies to Islamize the knowledge. This article explores the work plan recommended by Ismā‘il Rajī Al-Fārūqī, along with the modifications made by Abdul Hamīd Abū Sulaymān in the same comparison with the other approaches.

The authenticity proof of the Hadith Traditions depends on the chain of transmission. A Hadith will be graded as "Ṣaḥiḥ" or authentic if its chain of transmission qualifies five conditions. One of the conditions is the in person connectivity of the narrator with the person who is describing Hadith. There are some words that do not indicate a hearing or a meeting such as "Un" and "Qa’al" etc. If the narrator uses such a word while narrating the Hadith then according to Imam Bukhari, the ruling on attachment to this chain of transmission will apply only when the hearing or meeting between them is confirmed. On the other hand according to Imam Muslims to be in the same era of time and the possibility of the meeting is enough. It is very important to understand the methodology of Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslims used in their classic collection of Ahādith books. The following study focuses on the same.

01.Royal Patronage of Sanskrit & Mahmood Shah I
Authors: Mehmood Hashmi Dr. Arshad
Published: November 2022

It is a common notion that during the reign of Muslim kings or Sultans, Sanskrit was not given much attention, and that was one of the reasons it declined. Many research papers have appeared from time to time in support of and against this idea. Similarly, there are many contradictory statements in the books of History regarding Sultan Mahmood Shah I of Gujarat. Scholarships in recent years have pointed out some data that disprove many of the things that have been said about Mahmud Shah I. One of the aspects that have been highlighted is that he was not only a lover of Sanskrit language and literature, but also a mentor of Sanskrit, and in his court, a Sanskrit poet had the status of Malek-ush Sho'ara.

Objetivou-se analisar a percepção de concluintes do curso de Licenciatura em Educação Física (EF) sobre o ERE. As participantes relataram ter bom ambiente para acompanhar as aulas remotas, não pensaram em trancar a matrícula/desistir do curso e sentiram tristes por terem concluído pelo ERE. Foi indicado redução do interesse pelas aulas remotas e percepção que o ERE prejudicou a formação docente, além da falta de interação, distanciamento das aulas práticas e não poder estar presencialmente na escola nos estágios. A maior flexibilização de horário foi o aspecto positivo indicado.

Na escola atuam professores em diferentes fases do ciclo de vida profissional docente. Segundo Huberman, cada fase possui especificidades. O objetivo deste estudo é caracterizar os artigos originais publicados de 2014 a 2020 que analisam as relações entre o ciclo de vida profissional docente e a prática pedagógica na Educação Física escolar. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de abordagem qualitativa buscando artigos qualificados entre os estratos A1 e B3, resultando em 12 artigos encontrados. O tempo de profissão é fundamental para aprimoramento didático, tendo em vista as limitações da formação inicial. Além da prática, a formação continuada contribui no processo de aprimoramento da carreira docente. Assim, o indivíduo constrói gradativamente sua identidade profissional.

Relevance: Metabolic disorders often take on a systemic character. It affects carbohydrate, lipid, and hormonal metabolism. Moreover, these
changes promote the development and aggravation of several pathologies. The prevalence of metabolic disorders, including obesity, is increasing
world-wide and in Kazakhstan.
The study focused on the clinical characteristics of metabolic syndrome (MS) components in pa-tients with cancer comorbidities.
Methods: The materials included medical records of cancer patients with MS – 35 people (main group) and non-cancerous patients with
MS – 35 people (control group). MS was diagnosed with a combination of three symptoms: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. The data were analyzed and processed using the STATIS-TICA 10 software package.
The significance criterion was p<0.05.
Results: All studied patients were diagnosed with abdominal obesity. Indicators analysis showed a significant difference in HDL-C concentration in the main and control groups: 3.8 mmol/l in cancer patients and 5.7 mmol/l in the controls. No significant difference in blood pressure was
found.
Conclusion: The age of patients with MS evidences a threatening tendency to develop metabolic disorders in young and middle ages. A significantly lower concentration of LDL-C in cancer patients compared with the controls allows using this parameter to predict cancer ]development in
patients diagnosed with MS. Thus, HDL-C concentration could be used as a metabolic marker for pre-symptomatic diagnostics.

Relevance: Cardioembolism is one of the major causes of ischemic strokes and accounts for 15-30% of all cerebral infarctions. Atrial
fibrillation (AF) accounts for up to 60% of cardioembolic strokes. Assessing thromboembolic risk is important for patients with AF; however, these concerns do not apply equally to men and women.
The study aimed to determine gender differences in echocardiographic and computed tomography characteristics of patients with
atrial fibrillation.
Methods: The included 202 patients underwent both transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography. We excluded patients
with allergies to iodide, increased creatinine levels, hyperthyroidism, pregnancy, and age <18 years.
Results: An increase in BMI by 1 kg/m2
in female patients increased the risk of left-atrium appendage (LAA) thrombus by 10% (OR=1,1,
p=0.019). The yearly increase in the age of women lowers the risk of LAA thrombosis by 6% (OR=0,94, р=0,01). Each increase of EDD in
women to 1 cm raises the risk of LAA thrombosis by 151% (OR=2,51, p=0.031). Each increase of ESV and EDV in women to 1 ml raises the
risk of LAA thrombosis by 4% and 3%, respectively (p<0.05). Each increase of LVESVI and LVEDVI in female patients to 1 ml/m2 raises the
risk of LAA thrombosis by 6% and 5%, respectively (p<0.05).
Older age, higher CHA2
-DS2
-VASc, HAS-BLED scores, and enlarger LA in male patients were significantly associated with LAA
thrombosis.
The yearly increase in the age of men increases the risk of LAA thrombosis by 5% (OR=1.05, p=0.012). Men with coronary atherosclerosis at risk of thrombosis by 224% (OR=3,24, p=0.002).
Conclusion: Understanding gender differences may help clinicians provide better care to individuals with AF

Relevance: Acute renal kidney disorder is a serious complication in patients with acute leukemia who underwent hematopoietic stem cell
transplantation (HSCT). According to statistics, acute renal dysfunction often occurs in the first 100 days after HSCT.
This study aimed to evaluate kidney function in patients with acute leukemia after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Methods: The article presents clinical cases of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed acute renal failure after HSCT. The
dynamics of the functional state of kidneys in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia after HSCT are described.
Results: The acute kidney disorder in the studied patients was mainly caused by HSCT complications. We have identified renal kidney damage
in the form of acute tumor lysis and thrombotic microangiopathy.
Conclusion: Patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia risk developing acute kidney disorder during HSCT, which requires careful monitoring of kidney function, especially in the early post-transplant period.

Published: November 2022

Relevance: Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of female cancer mortality worldwide. The constant development of treatment strategies
and diagnostic tools has increased the survival rate for BC. Next-generation genome sequencing (NGS) identifies the genetic changes responsible
for tumor emergence, development, and metastasis. NGS has expanded the capacities of BC diagnostics, treatment, and early prevention in women.
The study aimed to identify breast cancer risk factors in women.
Methods: Publications were obtained from the following databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, and eLibrary. The depth of the search was 5 to
10 years. As a result, 100 literary sources were identified, of which 26 publications formed the scientific material for this review.
Results: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease driven by genetic abnormalities and epigenetic alterations.
Conclusion: Gene mutations do not change. Genetic testing shall be introduced and used as a preventive measure to reduce BC incidence.
Lifestyle-related BC risk factors can be modified to reduce BC risk.

Published: November 2022

Relevance: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted virus in sexually active men and women. The direct and
proven relationship between HPV infection and cervical cancer development HPV global epidemiological studies to ensure prevention in areas
with high HPV prevalence.
The study aimed to analyze the global age-related HPV prevalence over the past decade.
Methods: Sources for literature review were obtained from the PUBMED and MEDLINE databases for the past ten years by the keywords
“human papillomavirus,” “prevalence,” and “cervical cancer.” The review included randomized trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
Results: HPV rates were the highest in Africa (24%), Eastern Europe (21.4%), and Latin America (16.1%). The most common HPV types
worldwide were HPV 16 (3.2%), 18 (1.4%), 52 (0.9%), 31 (0.8%), and 58 (0.7%).
HPV prevalence in the Republic of Kazakhstan is underexplored since epidemiological studies were conducted only in some regions. HPV
high-risk types16 and 18 prevail in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Conclusion: The analysis of the global HPV epidemiology revealed its high prevalence in low- and middle-income countries. HPV’s higher
prevalence in young women justifies the need to improve and implement HPV vaccination programs.
