Urban vs. rural: Contrasting environmental concerns and sustainable practices in the Romanian HoReCa sector
Authors: Paraschiv Gabriela Iuliana , Stan Mari-Isabella
Published: November 2023

This research questions the alignment of economic objectives with environmental management in the Romanian hospitality, restaurant and café (HoReCa) sector, with a focus on sustainable development. It juxtaposes the sector's sustainability imperatives in urban and rural settings, and discusses adaptation and resilience mechanisms against an increased global focus on environmental conservation. The sector's transition to sustainable development as a strategic imperative is examined. The urban-rural dichotomy reveals contrasting challenges: urban units face consumer-driven competition, while rural units face resource constraints and infrastructure deficits. Empirical studies suggest that regional development has a complex impact on the economic and environmental contours of the sector. The study uses a structured Likert scale questionnaire to measure environmental attitudes and practices within the sector. Data from companies were analysed using SPSS, revealing urban-rural differences in environmental commitment. Hierarchical roles within firms further delineate divergent perceptions of environmental action. The findings suggest an educational gap on environmental issues within the sector, coupled with a recognition of the urgency of more profound environmental action. The data also reflect scepticism about the current effectiveness of recycling and waste management, with varying perceptions of environmental threats. The research argues for stratified, context-specific sustainability interventions that take into account the diverse environmental perceptions of the sector and the specific socio-economic realities of Romanian localities.

Authors: Mushayyada Aamer Nasir  , Maliha Akhtar Qureshi  , Farhat Anwer
Published: November 2023

Objective: To evaluate the effects of speech therapy on children with virtual autism based on the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS).

Setting and Duration:

Methodology: This prospective descriptive study was conducted in the Outpatient departments of Ali Medical Centre and KRL Hospital, Islamabad, from January 2020 to December 2022. A total of 30 children under 10 years old, with speech delays, spending more than 5 hours on screens per 24 hours, and diagnosed with autism, were enrolled. These children received early intervention in the form of speech and behavior therapies for one year, followed by reassessment. After one year of follow-up, significant improvements were observed in speech and behavior when screen time was reduced to 30 minutes or less.

Results: The mean age of the children in the study was 4.028 ± 1.99 years. The chief complaint at presentation was speech delay in 21 (70%) children. The distribution of behavior as measured by the Questionnaire for Autism in Toddlers (QABF) scale showed that the majority (10, 33.3%) of children presented with aggression. The ADOS assessments revealed that the majority of the children (14, 46.7%) had mild autism, followed by 9 (30%) with moderate autism. After receiving speech therapy for 10 months to 1 year, the repeated ADOS tests showed that among these children, 24 (80%) no longer exhibited behaviors indicative of autism, while 3 (10%) children had borderline autism, and 3 (10%) had mild autism.

Conclusion: Excessive screen time can lead to autism-like symptoms in young children, which are reversible through early intervention therapies. This effect is more pronounced in children under 5 years old.

Published: November 2023

The functioning of the agricultural insurance market in Ukraine is an objective reality and a necessity due to the urgent need to create a safe environment for agricultural production. The ability to consolidate financial resources in the field of insurance contributes to increased responsibility for probable risks distributed in space and time, so it is worth considering insurance relations in the agricultural sector. The purpose of the study is to theoretically and methodologically justify the processes of identifying internal factors influencing the further functioning of the agricultural insurance market in Ukraine. The methodological perspective of this study is based on the use of general scientific and specific methods of cognitive activity: abstract-logical, economic-statistical, structuralfunctional, deduction, induction, and formalisation. A panel database was formed for the period 2012-2021 broken down by the regions of Ukraine. The territorial features of changes in the ratio between insured and sown areas in the western, central, eastern, and southern regions of Ukraine are reflected. Based on the results of the conducted modelling (two models are presented simultaneously: a regular model and a one-year lag model), the influence on the insured area of such factors as sown area, yield, gross harvest, and internal price for agricultural products is established. A comparative characteristic of the statistical qualities of the presented models was made using indicators such as “Residual standard error”, “Multiple R-squared”, and “Adjusted R-squared”. The results of the regression analysis showed the statistical significance of certain factors in motivating agricultural commodity producers to participate in the insurance process. The practical value of the proposed measures lies in formulating practical recommendations for enhancing cooperation among stakeholders in the agricultural insurance market during wartime and post-war periods
Prospective analysis of the implementation of the “green” economy in the agricultural sector of Ukraine for the next 10 years
Authors: Khodakivska Olga , Martyniuk Maksym , Lupenko Yurii
Published: November 2023

The realities of modern economic development require significant changes in the existing economic system and a transition to a fundamentally new model based on the basic approaches of sustainable development. According to the world’s scientists, one of the best options for ensuring this change is the concept of a “green” economy. The relevance of the topic of green economy development is based on its potential to solve urgent environmental problems and promote sustainable development that meets the needs of society and the international community. The purpose of the article is to assess the prospects of the agricultural sector of Ukraine’s economy within the framework of the transformation strategy based on the principles of the green economy. This takes into account a whole range of factors in which agricultural enterprises exist and develop, as well as the conditions that have developed in connection with military aggression in the country. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: system-structural analysis, method of analysis, synthesis, method of generalization, methods of deduction and induction, and methodology of modified, improved SWOT analysis. A number of factors influencing the investment and innovation processes at agricultural enterprises are identified, including external threats and opportunities and internal strengths and weaknesses. The study also summarizes the aspects of the transition from the concepts of “sustainable” development to the concept of “greening” the economy, taking into account international experience, and the inclusion of Ukraine in the list of countries that ensure the fight against climate change and harmful emissions. The conclusions obtained about the prospects of investment projects in the agricultural sector, namely investment and innovation projects of agricultural enterprises characterized by a high level of attractiveness for investors in terms of the directional vector of development, confirm the relevance of implementing the concept of a green economy in the agricultural sector of Ukraine. The use of such an assessment methodology in practice will make it possible to select and analyse promising areas of project financing and investment, as well as to adjust the development strategies of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises
Efficiency of growth regulators in corn crops of the Northern Steppe of Ukraine
Authors: Tsyliuryk Oleksandr , Izhboldin Oleksandr , Sologub Iryna
Published: November 2023

The continuous increase in prices for mineral fertilisers for corn limits the use of fertilisers, which leads to the search for unconventional sources of food elements, and in particular, the use of biological natural and synthetic growth stimulators that are not harmful to the environment and allow wider use of the entire genetic potential of corn. The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of various plant growth regulators on the intensity of photosynthesis, development, growth and productivity of corn of various ripeness groups in the steppe of Ukraine. The field scientific study was conducted according to generally accepted methods of research, followed by the use of mathematical processing of experimental data using variance analysis. An increase in the chlorophyll content was identified when Avangard Grow Amino and Avangard Grow Humate preparations were applied compared to Vympel 2 and Alpha Nano Grow by 11.3-23.7%. The increase in grain from the use of growth stimulators on corn was in the early-maturing hybrid DN Pivikha – 0.13-0.37 t/ha (2.7-7.7%), mediumearly DN Khortytsia – 0.85-1.08 t/ha (16.6-18.5%), medium-maturing DN Julia – 0.20- 0.22 t/ha (3.20-3.4%), medium-late DN Olena – 0.05-0.53 t/ha (0.65-7.6%). Among the preparations used, Avangard Grow Amino and Avangard Grow Humate should be highlighted, which provided a tendency to increase the crude protein content to 6.42- 8.4%, or by 0.12-0.48 percentage points more compared to the control (3.53-4.71%), and the crude fat content to 3.73-5.52%, or by 0.20-0.81 percentage points. The use of growth stimulators in the conditions of the Northern Steppe of Ukraine on corn, especially Avangard Grow Amino and Avangard Grow Humate on early-maturing and medium-early corn hybrids, allows increasing the gross yield of high-quality grain by 7.6-18.4%

Published: November 2023

This current web 2.0 has primarily centered on connecting people through the advent of social media platforms, with a predominant focus on the application layer. As we envision the path to web 3.0, various perspectives emerge some advocate for a semantic web, while others emphasize the significance of the virtual web. This paper introduces an alternative perspective, which centers on the decentralized web as the future of the internet. To advance the web, it is imperative to address both existing issues and the challenges that have arisen from these platforms. The decentralized web concentrates on the development of underlying protocols and technologies, often transparent to end users. In the context of this paper, we examine the contemporary issues of web 2.0, introduce the DappMint project, and explore the innovative technologies currently under development to redefine the web landscape. As we envision the path to web 3.0, DappMint reimagines a decentralized web, addressing existing issues and introducing emerging technologies, thus redefining the web landscape for the future. This transformation aims to create a web ecosystem that empowers users while ensuring privacy, security, and resilience in the digital age.
Unveiling the Influence of Empowerment Leadership on Employee Loyalty: the Mediating Role of Employee Trust and Job Satisfaction
Authors: Pham Hoang Hien
Published: November 2023

This study examines the influence of empowerment leadership on employee loyalty under the mediating roles of employee trust and job satisfaction among medical staff at the private healthcare system. The investigation was conducted by surveying 374 doctors, nurses, and other medical staffs within 19 cities/provinces in the south of Vietnam. The SmartPLS software was used to conduct the partial least squared structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The findings from the PLS-SEM analysis reveal that empowerment leadership has a direct positive influence on the employee loyalty to the organization of medical staff as well as a positive impact on intermediate variables such as employee trust and employee job satisfaction. On the other hand, the intermediate variables employee trust and employee job satisfaction also have a positive impact on the employee loyalty toward the organization. This research not only contributes to the existing body of knowledge by evaluating the relationship between employee trust, empowerment leadership, job satisfaction, and employee loyalty but also offers valuable recommendations for the management board of private healthcare organizations in southern Vietnam.

Prevención de riesgos laborales (Ley 31/1995): derechos de consulta y participación de los trabajadores
Authors: Martínez Fenoll José Salvador
Published: November 2023

La Ley de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales en su Capítulo V recoge las prescripciones en materia de Consultas y Derechos de Participación y Representación propiamente dichos a los que dedica los artículos 33 y 34, recogiendo en su artículo 35, la regulación prevista para los Delegados de Prevención, especificando sus Competencias y Facultades en el artículo 36, sus Garantías en el artículo 37, así como el Deber de Sigilo, siendo, el artículo 38 regulador del Comité de Seguridad y Salud, especificándose sus competencias y facultades en el artículo 39 del texto legal que nos ocupa, finalizando el Capítulo V, con el artículo 40, referido a la colaboración que en materia preventiva se establece con la Inspección de Trabajo y Seguridad Social.
Como comentario al artículo que nos ocupa, cabe decir que nos encontramos ante la obligatoriedad legal a todos los efectos que incumbe al empresario de solicitar el consenso u homologación previa a la adopción de determinadas decisiones relacionadas con la actividad preventiva.
Aunque el artículo 33 que se comenta habla del deber de consultar, que no del de recabar la aprobación de los trabajadores con carácter previo a la adopción de decisiones en la materia que nos ocupa, entendemos, que no basta al empresario con poner en conocimiento de los trabajadores o de sus representantes legales la intención preventiva que planee, sino que, a todos los efectos, necesitará de ese consenso y aprobación expresa o al menos tácita de los trabajadores para hacerla efectiva.
La recaudación de las cuotas y demás recursos económicos de la Seguridad Social en el nuevo Reglamento General de Recaudación de los Recursos del Sistema de la Seguridad Social
Authors: Tapia Hermida Antonio
Published: November 2023

Por recaudación, en su acepción vulgar o usual, puede entenderse tanto la acción de recaudar como la cantidad recaudada, en la primera acepción ha de averiguarse qué se entiende por «recaudar», término que se define, por los diccionarios al uso, bien como «cobrar impuestos», bien como «recibir dinero por diversos conceptos». Es de llamar la atención cómo ya en su acepción vulgar la recaudación es vinculada a la actividad impositiva y al ejercicio del poder.
El significado vulgar resulta excesivamente difuso además de equívoco. Es en su sentido jurídico estricto donde el término adquiere toda su funcionalidad. Efectivamente la auténtica dimensión de aquel término se obtiene únicamente en su dimensión jurídica y aquí es unívoco. Aparece integrado en la noción más amplia de tributo, como una de las funciones o actividades integrantes de la gestión tributaria. La actividad, en definitiva, conducente a hacer efectivo el deber público consagrado en el artículo 31 de nuestra Constitución de que «todos contribuirán al sostenimiento de los gastos públicos de acuerdo con su capacidad económica mediante un sistema tributario justo inspirado en los principios de igualdad y progresividad que, en ningún caso, tendrá alcance confiscatorio».
Por ello la primera cuestión que se plantea en relación con la recaudación de los recursos económicos de la Seguridad Social es el de la naturaleza de la «cuota de Seguridad Social», el segundo el de si un procedimiento que atribuye al Estado singulares privilegios porque regula el cumplimiento de un deber público de los ciudadanos, encuadrado en la Sección 2.ª, titulada «De los derechos y deberes de los ciudadanos», del Capítulo II del Título Primero de nuestra Constitución, regulador y definidor «De los derechos y libertades fundamentales», puede sin más aplicarse al cobro de cualesquiera derechos económicos del Estado.
Aplazamientos de deudas y recaudación ejecutiva en el nuevo Reglamento General de Recaudación de los Recursos del Sistema de la Seguridad Social
Authors: Gutiérrez López Eduardo
Published: November 2023

Tal vez la corta vigencia del Reglamento General de Recaudación de los Recursos del Sistema de la Seguridad Social de octubre de 1991 (R/91), que no consiguió cumplir un cuatrienio, resulte inhabitual para este tipo de legislación. Parece pues adecuado iniciar el tema justificando de alguna manera las motivaciones que han dado lugar al nacimiento de un nuevo Reglamento.
En primer lugar, es ineludible citar las innovaciones que, en materia recaudatoria, introdujo el Título II de la Ley 42/1994 , de 30 de diciembre, de Medidas fiscales, administrativas y de orden social (L/42), por la vía de modificar una serie de artículos del Texto Refundido de la Ley General de la Seguridad Social aprobado por el Real Decreto Legislativo 1/1994, de 20 de junio, -véase, publicado tan sólo seis meses antes-, hecho que vino a imponer la reforma del Reglamento vigente.
La contratación laboral de carácter temporal en la Administración pública
Authors: Molina García Mónica
Published: November 2023

Accésit Premio Estudios Financieros 1995
Al estudiar lo que este trabajo pretende, las especialidades de la contratación laboral de carácter temporal en el sector público, es necesario un previo análisis de lo que se debe entender por sector público, y más concretamente, lo que se considerará Administración Pública a los efectos de este estudio.
Para delimitar el sector público hay al menos dos nociones a manejar, sector público, sin más, y sector público económico. Las Leyes Generales Presupuestarias vienen desde 1977 (Ley 11/1977) englobando en el sector público a las Administraciones Públicas, incluida la Seguridad Social, a las Empresas públicas y a las Instituciones Financieras públicas. La Ley Orgánica del Tribunal de Cuentas (Ley 2/1982) en su artículo 4.º considera sector público a la Administración del Estado, a la de las Comunidades Autónomas, a las Corporaciones Locales, a las Entidades Gestoras de la Seguridad Social, a los Organismos Autónomos, a las Sociedades estatales y demás empresas públicas.
Este conglomerado de entes que conforman el sector público admite una división en dos grandes grupos; el que integra las «Administraciones Públicas» y el denominado «sector público empresarial o económico» que incluye las Sociedades estatales que pueden ser de Derecho público, entidades de Derecho público con personalidad jurídica que por ley ajustan su actividad al ordenamiento jurídico privado, o de Derecho privado, sociedades mercantiles cuyo capital pertenece mayoritariamente, ya directa o indirectamente, a la Administración del Estado o a los Organismos Autónomos dependientes de ella y demás entidades de Derecho público.
Además de este complejo entramado de entidades integradas en el sector de lo público, en un segundo nivel territorial se encuentran las Comunidades Autónomas y las Corporaciones Locales con Entidades de Derecho público o con sociedades mercantiles, y con Organismos Autónomos que dependen a su vez de ellas.
El trabajo nocturno
Authors: Saborit Tel M.ª Pilar
Published: November 2023

Accésit Premio Estudios Financieros 1995
Si ha de explicarse el porqué de la elección del trabajo nocturno como tema a desarrollar en este primer trabajo, la respuesta partiría de la innegable importancia que en nuestro ordenamiento laboral ha tenido la reciente reforma sufrida por el mismo en 1994. El tema que nos ocupa queda situado a partir del cambio sufrido por el ET en el art. 36, dejando entonces de figurar como contenido del art. 34.6 del ET en su redacción anterior.
El primer motivo de esta «asombrosa» transformación no admite duda, puesto que el tratamiento del tema en el antiguo precepto no admitía otra calificación que no fuese la de obsoleta e insuficiente. Pero no es sólo que el legislador se parase a observar tal precariedad, sino que se vio obligado a reparar en ella y a ponerle solución cuando la Europa Comunitaria le lanzó un «aviso» sobre éste y muchos otros temas en forma de Directiva 93/104/CEE, empujándolo a lo que después fue la urgente reforma de la que estamos hablando.
Una vez dado el paso, y volviendo a referirnos al nuevo art. 36, ha resultado del esfuerzo un artículo moderno, completo y a la altura de las exigencias de nuestros vecinos de la Comunidad Europea. Y no sólo eso, sino que tomando como referencia la citada Directiva y considerando como mínimos sus preceptos, hemos sido capaces de superarlos en muchos casos y garantizar la salud y la seguridad de nuestros trabajadores nocturnos y, en definitiva, de ofrecer un panorama legislativo suficiente para este colectivo.

En materia de prestaciones de seguridad social, y como regla general aplicable en los casos en que el sujeto responsable de la cotización cumple correcta y temporáneamente las obligaciones que le incumben en esta materia, la responsabilidad en orden a las prestaciones se imputa a la entidad gestora o colaboradora que haya asumido la cobertura de la prestación de que se trate, tal como dispone el artículo 126.1 del Real Decreto Legislativo 1/1994, de 20 de junio, por el que se aprueba el Texto Refundido de la Ley General de la Seguridad Social (a partir de ahora TRLGSS): «(...) la responsabilidad correspondiente se imputará, de acuerdo con sus respectivas competencias, a las entidades gestoras, Mutuas de Accidentes de Trabajo y Enfermedades Profesionales de la Seguridad Social, o empresarios que colaboren en la gestión, o, en su caso, a los servicios comunes».
El desequilibrio cultural como causa de insatisfacción en las Administraciones públicas: un análisis empírico en el INEM de la provincia de Las Palmas
Authors: Armas Díaz Alberto , Zoghbi Manrique de Lara Pablo
Published: November 2023

Accésit Premio Estudios Financieros 1996
Este trabajo, con el que acudimos al presente concurso, nació de la conjunción de un reto interior y de una investigación realizada en 1993. La investigación tenía por objeto diagnosticar el clima laboral reinante en la delegación del Instituto Nacional de Empleo en la provincia de las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Obviamente, trascendía, con creces, los propósitos del artículo que ahora ofrecemos. A través de diferentes técnicas de exploración sociológica, profundizamos en la situación laboral del Inem proporcionando un resultado final de más de 200 páginas donde abordábamos el diagnóstico de la moral organizativa y trazábamos un amplio cuadro de acciones a emprender por la institución, en orden a mejorar sus relaciones humanas internas. De ella, extraeremos los datos reales necesarios para confeccionar el entramado empírico del trabajo que ahora nos ocupa.
El desafío, al que antes aludíamos, quizás convenga explicitarlo algo más. Dos de los tres autores de dicha investigación somos docentes universitarios y, además, funcionarios. Quizás por esta doble condición, desde hace algunos años empezó a urgirnos una preocupación que, de alguna forma, habría de traducirse en actividades concretas tendentes a paliarla. El origen de tal tensión anímica no era otra que un tópico, reiterado hasta la saciedad: «los funcionarios públicos no parecen interesarse apenas por su trabajo diario». Que podría formularse de docenas de formas diferentes, pero siempre con el leitmotiv de la desidia y la abulia de los trabajadores de la Administración como santo y seña de un estereotipo vergonzante que parece haberse convertido en un lugar común cada vez que se aborda la compleja temática de la motivación de las personas al servicio de una organización.
Organización del sistema productivo y derecho del trabajo

Published: November 2023

Accésit Premio Estudios Financieros 1996
Hace ya tiempo que se escucha que las relaciones de trabajo dependiente y por cuenta ajena y la parcela del ordenamiento jurídico dedicada a su regulación no son las que fueron en el pasado. Percepción que habría que tildar de obvia por referirse a una realidad social que siempre ha estado en permanente cambio, pero que no lo es tanto si, en lugar de la afirmación en abstracto, se intentan concretar las razones que han motivado esos cambios y las consecuencias que han engendrado. No son, en efecto, tan obvias las razones porque, aun constatadas, pueden ser tantas y tan diversa su procedencia que su conjunción no tiene en todo caso el mismo resultado. Ello hace que tampoco sean obvias sus consecuencias pues, ante idéntico cúmulo de influjos, unas veces se muestra de forma palmaria cuál es su efecto y otras, sin embargo, el efecto parece no producirse o ser bien distinto al antes detectado. Con esto quiere, de antemano, subrayarse la relatividad de cualquier análisis que, como el que ahora comienza, pretenda glosar razones y consecuencias de la que ciertamente es diferente fisonomía de las relaciones laborales y de la rama del Derecho que las regula.
La ejecución provisional del despido
Authors: Navarro Fajardo Juan José
Published: November 2023

Puede definirse la ejecución provisional como aquella actividad procesal que pretende obtener en todo o en parte del obligado por una sentencia, todavía no firme, aquella conducta o actividad exigida por el fallo o los pronunciamientos de aquélla.
Mientras nuestro ordenamiento procesal civil ha sido en general muy restrictivo en orden a la concesión de la ejecución provisional de sentencias recurridas y adoptando siempre todas las garantías posibles para el supuesto de revocación total o parcial de la sentencia objeto de ejecución provisional, nuestras leyes procesales laborales han admitido tradicionalmente con gran amplitud la posibilidad de ejecutar provisionalmente las sentencias favorables al trabajador, fundándose sus normas en la necesidad o conveniencia de proporcionar al trabajador los medios de subsistencia que la sentencia le reconoce durante la situación de interinidad que se abre tras ser admitido el recurso contra aquélla.
El vigente Texto Refundido de la Ley de Procedimiento Laboral, aprobado por Real Decreto Legislativo 2/1995, de 7 de abril, prevé cuatro supuestos de ejecución provisional: el de las sentencias condenatorias al pago de cantidades; en materia de Seguridad Social; despidos; y finalmente de las sentencias que recaigan en los procesos de conflictos colectivos, en los de impugnación de los convenios colectivos y en los de tutela de derechos fundamentales, estableciendo el artículo 301 que las sentencias dictadas en los procesos de este último grupo serán ejecutivas desde que se dicten, no obstante el recurso que contra ellas pudiera interponerse.
Flipped Learning Method: Possible Antidote for Achieving Gender Equality in Mathematics in Secondary Schools in Cameroon and Nigeria
Authors: Nkepah Beyoh Dieudone
Published: November 2023

The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of the flipped learning method in enhancing students’ achievements in mathematics, and also to determine the possibility of this method in minimizing gender inequality noticed in both Cameroonian and Nigerian secondary school mathematics classrooms. The study employed a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The population size was 5348 Form 3 students (2684 females and 2664 males) in Mezam Division – Cameroon and 5891 Junior Secondary (JS) 3 students (3236 females and 2655 males) in Awka South Local Government Area – Nigeria. A sample of 180 Form 3 and JS3 students from four schools (two from each country) were selected through a combination of simply random and purposive sampling techniques. A Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) consisting of 20 items and validated by experts, was used in collecting data for the study. The Kudder-Richardson 20 (K-R 20) reliability of the MAT was found to be 0.79. Treatment lasted for six weeks. Mean was used to answer the research questions while the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings of this study revealed that the flipped learning method enhanced the achievement of students in mathematics no matter their gender or their country of origin. Furthermore, the flipped learning method enhanced the achievement of female students from both countries better than that of the males. It was recommended that curriculum planners and policy makers in education in Cameroon and Nigeria should consider effective alternative teaching-learning methods to be used in teaching mathematics, especially the flipped learning method considered in this study which did not only prove to be an effective enhancer of students’ achievement in mathematics but also provided activities which enabled the females to be as competent as or even more competent than the males.

Abstract. Urban vegetation plays a role in offsetting urban CO2 emissions, mitigating heat through tree transpiration and shading, and acting as deposition surfaces for pollutants. The frequent occurrence of heatwaves and of concurrent drought conditions significantly disrupts the processes of urban trees, particularly their photosynthesis and transpiration rates. Despite the pivotal role of urban tree functioning in delivering essential ecosystem services, the precise nature of their response remains uncertain. We conducted sap flux density (Js) and leaf gas exchange measurements of four tree species (Tilia cordata, Tilia × europaea, Betula pendula, and Malus spp.) located in different urban green areas (Park, Street, Forest, and Orchard) in Helsinki, Finland. Measurements were made over two contrasting summers 2020 and 2021. Summer 2021 experienced a local heatwave and drought, whereas summer 2020 was more typical of Helsinki. In this study, we aimed to understand the responses of urban tree transpiration (measured with sap flux density) and leaf gas exchange to heatwave and drought conditions, and we examined the main environmental drivers controlling the tree transpiration rate during these periods. We observed varying responses of Js during the heatwave period at the four urban sites. When comparing the heatwave and no heatwave periods, a 35 %–67 % increase in Js was observed at the Park, Forest, and Orchard locations, whereas no significant change was seen at the Street site. Our results also showed that Js was higher (31 %–63 %) at all sites under drought conditions compared with non-dry periods. The higher Js values during the heatwave and dry periods were mainly driven by the high atmospheric demand for evapotranspiration, represented by the high vapor pressure deficit (VPD), suggesting that the trees were not experiencing severe enough heat or drought stress that stomatal control would have decreased transpiration. Accordingly, photosynthetic potential (Amax), stomatal conductance (gs), and transpiration (E) at the leaf level did not change during heatwave and drought periods, excluding the Park site where a significant reduction in gs was seen. VPD explained 55 %–69 % of the variation in the daily mean Js during heatwave and drought periods at all sites. At the Forest site, the increase in Js saturated after a certain VPD level, likely due to low soil water availability during these hot and dry periods. Overall, the heat and drought conditions were untypical of the region but not excessive enough to restrict stomatal control and transpiration, indicating that ecosystem services such as cooling were not at risk.

Abstract. Satellite-based observations of free tropospheric water vapour isotopologue ratios (δD) with good global and temporal coverage have become recently available. We investigate the potential of these observations for constraining the uncertainties of the atmospheric analyses ﬁelds of speciﬁc humidity (q), temperature (T), and δD and of variables that capture important properties of the atmospheric water cycle, namely the vertical velocity (ω), the latent heating rate (Q2), and the precipitation rate (Prcp). Our focus is on the impact of the δD observations if used in addition to the observation of q and T , which are much easier to be observed by satellites and routinely in use for atmospheric analyses. For our investigations we use an Observing System Simulation Experiment, i.e. simulate the satellite observations of q, T , and δD with known uncertainties, then use them within a Kalman ﬁlter based assimilation framework in order to evaluate their potential for improving the quality of atmospheric analyses. The study is made for low latitudes (30° S to 30° N) and for 40 days between mid-July and end of August 2016. We ﬁnd that the assimilation of q and T observations alone well constrains the atmospheric q and T ﬁelds (analyses skills in the free troposphere of up to 60 %), and moderately constrains the ﬁelds of δD, ω, Q2, and Prcp (analyses skills of 20 %–40 %). The additional assimilation of δD observations further improves the quality of the analyses of all variables. We use Q2 as proxy for the presence of condensation and evaporation processes, and we show that the additional improvement is rather weak when evaporation or condensation are negligible (additional analyses skills of generally below 5 %), and strongest for high condensation rates (additional skills of about 15 % and above). The very high condensation rates (identiﬁed by large positive Q2 values) are rare, but related to extreme events (very high ω and Prcp) that are not well captured in the analyses (for these extreme events also the analyses uncertainties of ω, Q2, and Prcp are very large), i.e. the additional assimilation of δD observations signiﬁcantly improves the analyses of the water cycle related variables for the events when an improvement is most important. In real world satellite datasets δD observations affected by such strong latent heating events are frequently available, suggesting that the here demonstrated additional δD impact for the simulated world is also a realistic scenario for a real world data assimilation.
