Published: January 2024

Abstract. Coastal currents significantly impact port activities, coastal landform morphodynamics and ecosystem functioning. It is therefore necessary to understand the physical characteristics and natural variability of these currents within coastal settings. Traditional methods such as harmonic analysis assume stationarity of tide-driven currents and thus may not be applicable to systems modulated by variable nontidal inputs and processes. Here we deployed eight tilt current meters at shallow (< 5 m) coral reef environments in southern Singapore. Tilt current meters were positioned around the reefs at the main compass bearings to analyse the spatiotemporal variability of coastal currents in the frequency domain for one year (March 2018 to March 2019). Tidal motions were the primary mechanism of current flow on reefs and account for between 14–45 % of total variance across all sites, with diurnal currents having either similar or greater proportion of energy than semidiurnal currents. In Singapore, the diurnal wind stress, characteristic of the land–sea breeze, strengthens during the monsoons, and its effect on currents was investigated using wavelet coherence. Findings suggest that currents and wind stress were highly correlated at the diurnal and subtidal frequencies during the monsoons with a varying time lag of up to 6 hours with respect to both the phase and the antiphase. We find that wind forcing was responsible for the observed seasonal variations in the diurnal K1 tidal constituent, its amplitude derived from short-term harmonic analysis. Given the importance of wind, we thus require longer time-series datasets to examine how atmospheric phenomena affect currents at greater time scales to improve predictions.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Aerosol distribution is of great relevance for air quality especially for the cities like Stuttgart which is located in a basin. To understand the impact of boundary layer mixing processes on local air quality and to validate the large eddy simulation (LES) model PAML-4U, we collected a comprehensive set of data from remote sensing, in-situ methods including radiosondes for the urban background of downtown Stuttgart. Stagnant meteorological conditions caused accumulation of aerosols during winter. Case studies show that clouds during previous nights can weaken temperature inversion and accelerate boundary layer mixing after sunrise. This is important for ground-level aerosol dilution during morning rush hours. Furthermore, our observations validate results of the LES model PALM-4U in terms of boundary layer heights and aerosol mixing for 48 hours. The simulated aerosol concentrations follow the trend of our observations but are still underestimated by a factor of 4.5 ± 2.1. This underestimation is mainly due to uncertainties of emissions and boundary conditions of the model. This paper firstly evaluates the PALM-4U model performance in simulating aerosol temporal-spatial distribution, which can help to improve the LES model and to better understand sources and sinks for air pollution as well as the role of horizontal and vertical transport.
Fluvial Flood Inundation and Humanitarian Impact Model Based On Open Data

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Fluvial floods are destructive hazards that affect millions of people worldwide each year. Forecasting flood events and their potential impacts therefore is crucial for disaster preparation and mitigation. Modeling flood inundation based on extreme value analysis of river discharges is an alternative to physical models of flood dynamics, which are computationally expensive. We present the implementation of a globally applicable, open-source fluvial flood model within a state-of-the-art natural catastrophe modeling framework. It uses openly available data to rapidly compute flood inundation footprints of historic and forecasted events for the estimation of associated impacts. At the example of Pakistan, we use this flood model to compute flood depths and extents, and employ it to estimate population displacement due to floods. Comparing flood extents to satellite data reveals that incorporating estimated flood protection standards does not necessarily improve the flood footprint computed by the model. We further show that, after calibrating the vulnerability of the impact model to a single event, the estimated displacement caused by past floods is in good agreement with disaster reports. Finally, we demonstrate that this calibrated model is suited for probabilistic impact-based forecasting.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. The Eastern Pacific Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Experiment (EPCAPE) is a year-round campaign conducted by the US Department of Energy at the Scripps Oceanographic Institute in La Jolla, CA, USA, with a focus on characterizing atmospheric processes at a coastal location. A new Ka, W and G-band (35.75, 94.88 and 238.8 GHz) profiling atmospheric radar, named CloudCube, and developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, took part in the experiment during six weeks in March and April, 2023. This article describes the unique data sets that were obtained during the field campaign from a variety of marine clouds and light precipitation. These are, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the first observations of atmospheric clouds using simultaneous multifrequency measurements including 238.8 GHz. These data sets therefore provide an exceptional opportunity to study and analyze hydrometeors with diameters in the millimeter and submillimeter size range, that can be used to better understand cloud and precipitation structure, formation, and evolution. The data sets referenced in this article are intended to provide a complete, extensive and high-quality collection of G-band data, in the form of reflectivity and Doppler velocity profiles. In addition, Ka and W-band reflectivity and Ka, W and G-band reflectivity ratio profiles are included for several cases of interest. The data sets can be found at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10076228 (Socuellamos et al., 2023a).
Gridded dataset of nitrogen and phosphorus point sources from wastewater in Germany (1950–2019)
Authors: Sarrazin Fanny J. , Attinger Sabine , Kumar Rohini
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Knowledge about the long history of the anthropogenic inputs of Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) is crucial to capture long-term N and P processes (legacies) and to investigate water quality and ecosystem health. These inputs include N and P point sources, that originate mainly from wastewater, and that are directly discharged into surface waters, thus having an immediate impact on ecosystem functioning. However, N and P point sources are challenging to estimate, due to the scarcity and uncertainty in observational data. Here, we contribute towards improved characterisation of N and P point sources from wastewater, by providing a long-term (1950–2019), high resolution (0.015625° ≈ 1.4 km on average) dataset for Germany. The dataset includes both the domestic and industrial emissions treated in wastewater treatment plants and untreated domestic emissions that are collected in the sewer system. We adopt a modelling approach that relies on a large range of data collected from different sources. Importantly, we account for the uncertainties arising from different modelling choices (i.e., coefficients and downscaling approach). We provide 200 gridded N and P point sources realisations, which are constrained and evaluated using available (recent) observations of wastewater treatment plants outgoing loads. We discuss the uncertainties in our reconstructed dataset over a large sample of river basins in Germany, and provide guidance for future uses. Overall, by capturing the long-term spatial and temporal variations in N and P point sources and accounting for uncertainties, our dataset can facilitate long-term and large-scale robust water quality studies. The dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10500535 (Sarrazin et al., 2024).

Abstract. Climate over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has undergone substantial changes in recent decades due to its sensitive to global climate change. Regional land-atmosphere interactions are closely linked to the changes that have emerged across the TP. The TP is recognized as an ideal natural laboratory for monitoring ongoing climate changes and examining the mechanisms of land-atmosphere interactions over this high mountain region with diverse landscapes. Current models and satellites are struggle to accurately depict the interactions, critical field observations on land-atmosphere interactions here therefore provide necessitate independent validation data and fine-scale process insights for constraining reanalysis products, remote sensing retrievals, and land surface model parameterizations. Scientific data sharing is crucial for the TP since acquiring critical field observations under this diverse topography and harsh conditions is challenging. However, in-situ observations are currently scattered among individuals or small groups and have yet to be integrated for comprehensive analysis, preventing a better understanding of the interactions, the unprecedented changes they generate, and the substantial massive ecological and environmental consequences they bring about. Here, we collaborated with different agencies and organizations to present a comprehensive dataset for hourly measurements of surface energy balance components, soil hydrothermal properties, and near-surface micrometeorological conditions spanning up to 17 years (2005–2021). This dataset is compiled from 12 field stations covering typical TP landscapes, and represents the most extensive in-situ observation data available for studying land-atmosphere interactions on the TP to date in terms of both spatial coverage and duration. To assure data quality, a set of rigorous data processing and quality control procedures are implemented for all observation elements in this dataset. The operational workflow and procedures are individually tailored to the varied types of elements at each station, including automated error screening, manual inspection, diagnostic checking, adjustments, and quality flagging. The hourly data series, the quality-assured data, and supplementary information including data integrity and the percentage of correct data on a monthly scale are provided via the National Tibetan Plateau Data Center (https://doi.org/10.11888/Atmos.tpdc.300977, Ma et al., 2023). The current dataset provides the benchmark constraints needed to both evaluate and improve the land surface models, reanalysis products, and remote sensing retrievals. Additionally, it is capable of characterizing fine-scale processes for land-atmosphere interactions of the TP and the underlying influence mechanisms.
Disability Adjustment Counseling: Experiences and Perspectives of Certified Rehabilitation Counselors
Authors: Bishop Malachy , Zhou Kaiqi , Fry Hannah , Richard Constance , Park Sara , Wiegmann Susan , Blackstone Guy , Kim Jay
Published: January 2024

Background

Disability adjustment counseling (DAC) focuses on the diverse process of adjusting to chronic illness or disability, including responding to the initial diagnosis or the onset and adjusting to changes and barriers that arise from living with a disability. Although DAC is a primary role and function of rehabilitation counselors, there have been limited efforts to explore the use of DAC in the field.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to survey certified rehabilitation counselors (CRCs) about the extent of DAC utilization and its focus, the theoretical basis for DAC, and professional preparation.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was completed with 109 CRCs recruited through the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC). The research team developed a 35-item survey questionnaire for this study. Most respondents identified as white women with master’s degrees (mean age = 51.41 years).

Results

Approximately two-thirds of the respondents (67.78%) reported engaging in DAC for approximately a third (31.15%) of their professional time. Many respondents reported wanting to spend more of their professional time providing DAC. Most respondents (75%) indicated they do not operate from a specific model of psychosocial adjustment to chronic illness or disability. Nearly half (48.6%) of the respondents reported that there were not adequate options for DAC counseling.

Conclusions

The survey results confirm that DAC is an important role and function for rehabilitation counselors. Although the sample was too small to permit broad generalizations, the results imply that further exploration of the research questions among a larger sample is warranted.

En el ensayo Discorso sulle donne Ginzburg reflexiona sobre la tristeza, los sentimientos de ambivalencia de las mujeres y las dificultades de género y caracteriza a diferentes estereotipos de mujeres madres. Ginzburg declara que se identifica con el estereotipo de las madres canguro y señala que aquel sentimiento fuerte de unión y cariño, está siempre cargado de todo tipo de preocupaciones que acompañan a muchas mujeres (2016, p.152).
SERVICES OF HAMAS IN THE POLITICS OF PALESTINE
Authors: Dr. Zubaida Aziz
Published: January 2024

Hamas, a Palestinian Islamist movement, has been known for its militant resistance against Israeli occupation and its provision of social services to the Palestinian people. Despite being labeled as a terrorist organization by many Western countries, Hamas has gained widespread support among Palestinians for its unwavering commitment to the cause of a free Palestine. This research paper examines the political services of Hamas and their impact on the politics of Palestine.Through a critical analysis of Hamas’s political and social services, this paper argues that the organization’s success is not solely due to its reputation as a resistance movement, but also due to its ability to provide essential services to the Palestinian people. Hamas has established a vast network of social services, including schools, hospitals, and charities, which have helped to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. Furthermore, this article explores how Hamas’s political services have been shaped by its struggle against the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which has been seen as corrupt and ineffective by many Palestinians. Hamas’s political platform has been built on a foundation of anti-corruption and good governance, which has resonated with many Palestinians who are disillusioned with the PLO’s leadership. Overall, this research article provides a nuanced analysis of Hamas’s political services and their impact on the politics of Palestine. By examining the organization’s social and political services, this paper sheds light on the complex factors that have contributed to Hamas’s success and its potential role in shaping the future of Palestine.

Published: January 2024

One of the few figures from Kashmir who has written extensively on the conflict there is Syed Ali Shah Geelani. He has written over a dozen books, all of them in Urdu, that cover different facets of the issue. His range of news releases, communication with the Pakistani and Indian prime ministers, and other notable figures (many composed during his protracted incarceration in India), interviews with Kashmiri and Pakistani journalists, and public addresses are compiled in his work titled "Kashmir: Voice of Freedom" (Nava-e Hurriyat). This book explores several facets of the Kashmir problem from Geelani's point of view. on the causes of the crisis in Kashmir, his disapproval of Indian governance, his support for Pakistan's inclusion of Kashmir, and his rejection of Jammu and Kashmir's independence. His ideas on nationalism, jihad, and intercommunity interactions within what he considers the normative Islamic paradigm, as well as his understanding of the link between Islam, politics, and the state, are all crucial to the current struggle in and over Jammu and Kashmir
PERCEPTIONS OR MISPERCEPTIONS: CHINA PAKISTAN ECONOMIC CORRIDOR (CPEC)
Authors: Amir Shahzad, Dr. Lubna Sunawar
Published: January 2024

Public views are essential, particularly when it comes to large-scale development initiatives like CPEC, which have the potential to change the socioeconomic and political climate of a nation comprised of more than 200 million individuals. This paper focuses on the perceptions of CPEC among the media in a virtual world. The study is based on a qualitative analysis of media handling, that is, the positive or negative image of CPEC. The media reports gathered indicate that the majority of Pakistanis consider CPEC a valuable project for Pakistan and regard China as a more reliable, friendly nation than the US, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Iran (Awais et al., 2019). However, there are dissenting views readily floating in the country regarding the nature of Pak-China relations, where the media also refers to the amity between China and Pakistan as being "interest-based." It suggests that the educated Pakistani public's support for China is motivated by pragmatism rather than sentiment and that the states' claim that their relationship is "sweeter than honey, higher than the mountains" should be considered pragmatically. The development of the project's perception management strategy for the two concerned nations will benefit from an analysis of how this project is perceived on social media by various societal groups (Akhtar et al., 2021)

Published: January 2024

Produk citizen journalism/ CJ dinilai sebagai implementasi dari participatory media culture. Namun tidak semua CJ memenuhi kaidah jurnalistik, sehingga rawan kelengkapan maupun kesalahan. Terutama disiplin verifikasi, cek ricek serta keseimbangan. Di sisi lain, pada era konvergensi ini, dapat tercipta kolaborasi antara jurnalisme warga dengan media arus utama. Hal tersebut dapat dilihat dari adanya ketersediaan ruang untuk menampung karya citizen journalism pada slot tayangan berita di media arus utama. Juga dalam tayangan awal ketika media arus utama belum memiliki gambar atas suatu peristiwa yang sering diberi judul “video amatir". Kajian ini ditelaah menggunakan metode literature review. Citizen journalism, konvergensi media, participatory media culture, dan media baru adalah beberapa judul kata kunci yang digunakan dalam pencarian artikel jurnal yang diterbitkan antara tahun 2017 sampai 2022. Istilah-istilah ini dipilih berdasarkan relevansi konten jurnal dan relevansi isu penelitian. Hasilnya, CJ dianggap sangat berpengaruh dalam membentuk alur media. CJ dapat menciptakan suatu alur media yang saling berhubungan. Terkait hal tersebut, CJ dapat menggiring opini khalayak kemanapun mereka inginkan baik positif maupun negatif. Membentuk alur media ini dapat dilakukan melalui blogging ataupun podcasting yang saat ini sedang digandrungi generasi muda. Pada poin inilah dapat ditunjukkan adanya implementasi dari budaya partisipatif terhadap media oleh masyarakat.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine if there is an increased risk of incident cardiovascular diseases (CVD) resulting from cumulative night shift work in the German population-based Gutenberg Health Study (GHS).

METHODS: We examined working participants of the GHS at baseline and after five years. Cumulative night shift work in the 10 years before baseline was assessed and categorized as low (1–220 nights ≙ up to 1 year), middle (221–660 nights ≙ 1–3 years), and high (>660 nights ≙ more than 3 years) night shift exposure. Hazard ratios (HR) were estimated for incident “quality-assured CVD events” using Cox proportional hazard models.

RESULTS: At baseline, 1092 of 8167 working participants performed night shift work. During the follow-up, 202 incident cardiovascular events occurred. The crude incidence rates for CVD per 1000 person-years were 6.88 [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.80–9.55] for night shift workers and 5.19 (95% CI 4.44–6.04) for day workers. Cumulative incidence curves showed a higher cumulative incidence in workers exposed to night shift work compared to day workers after five years. The adjusted HR for incident CVD events were 1.26 (95% CI 0.68–2.33), 1.37 (95% CI 0.74–2.53) and 1.19 (95% CI 0.67–2.12) for employees in the low, middle and high night shift categories compared to employees without night shift work, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS: The observed tendencies indicate that night shift work might be negatively associated with cardiovascular health. We expect the continued follow-up will clarify the long-term impact of night shift work.

Authors:   Honor Health, Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center, Scottsdale Arizona, 85251, USA, Haag Susan
Published: January 2024

Brain metastasis (BM) is an inauspicious finding in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) and significantly increases morbidity and mortality. Because the presentation is rare, there is a dearth of information on patient characteristics, treatments, and disease progression. If PC patients who are most likely to develop BM can be detected earlier, there is an opportunity for better prognosis.

Inflationary Realities, Shrinkflation Strategies: Business Unveiled
Authors: Padma Dr. Satuluri
Published: January 2024

Since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, global supply chains have been severely impacted. Preceding this, the intense protectionism and trade tensions between the USA and China in 2018 and 2019 had already diminished trade volumes on the Western front. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022 further disrupted supply chains, creating a ripple effect that shook economic stability. This tumultuous series of events triggered a worldwide wave of inflation, resulting in an increase in the prices of goods and services across various categories. The inflationary surge had a profound impact on family budgets, adversely affecting the standard of living for many. To combat this, the majority of central banks responded by raising interest rates, causing a sharp increase in the cost of borrowing. Faced with these challenges, producers from large, medium, and small enterprises found themselves compelled to make their products more affordable, aiming to alleviate the financial strain on consumers. In the era of consumerism, producers found themselves under pressure to provide relief to end-users. The adopted strategy involved reducing the size or weight of products while maintaining the same price. This tactic, known as shrinkflation, became a psychological game to offset the inconveniences of inflation. Consumers, although paying the same price, received less for their money. While some organizations embraced this strategy, others considered it a serious ethical breach. Some consumers accepted the reduction without complaint, while others, particularly those with conservative views, felt aggrieved by what they perceived as a moral compromise. For some producers, shrinkflation was seen as a temporary measure, applied until input prices softened.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pain management using inhalation of a nitrous oxide and oxygen mixture during rigid cystoscopy. Materials and Methods: A total of 55 patients were prospectively selected and randomized to receive oxygen (27) or Entonox (28). Both groups were given the respective gas for 3 minutes via breath-activated facemask before cystoscopy and continued to breathe the gas until the end of the procedure. The oxygen and Entonox groups received 20 ml 2% lidocaine gel intraurethral 15 minutes before the procedure. Heart rate, and numeric pain rating scales were recorded before, during, and after the cystoscopy. Results: Fifty-five patients were randomized into two groups, 27 were given oxygen and 28 Entonox. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of baseline patient characteristics. Intraoperative rigid cystoscopy pain scores were significantly lower in the Entonox group than in the oxygen group (2.4 vs 4.2, p = 0.009). There were no significant differences between the two groups as regards postoperative pain, intraoperative and post-operative heart rates, and side effects. Conclusion: Entonox significantly reduces intraoperative cystoscopy-related pain, without significant complications.

Tracking in 3D: from dense point particles to concentrated polydispersed bubbles
Authors: Ni Rui
Published: January 2024

This talk delves into the development of open-sourced 3D tracking methods applicable to both point tracer particles and finite-sized polydispersed bubbles. The primary challenge in optical tracking lies in addressing complexities arising from overlapped particle and bubble images, particularly as concentrations increase. The evolution of 3D tracking methods, from classical triangulation-then-tracking methods to the modern Shake-the-Box technique that incorporates intensity and temporal information, underscores the importance of leveraging comprehensive image information to reduce tracking ambiguities. This paper explores the optimal integration of information, including intensity, shape, and reflection features, into the tracking code for both point particles and complex-shaped ones. The integration of such multifaceted information enhances the tracking method's capabilities, extending its applicability to complex multiphase flows characterized by polydispersed, non-spherical, or deformable dispersed phases.

Prisoner-on-prisoner homicides in Australia: 1980 to 2011
Authors: Lyneham Mathew , Chan Andy , Willis Matthew , McDonald Hayley
Published: January 2024

The number of prisoner-on prisoner homicides has dropped considerably since 1998 and remained consistently low over the last decade. Although not common, prisoner-on prisoner homicides generally receive considerable public attention. This paper builds on previous AIC research, analysing the circumstances and nature of homicides that occurred in correctional facilities across Australia between 1980 and 2011. The findings show prisoner-on-prisoner homicides typically involve non-Indigenous male prisoners between the ages of 20 and 34, with violent offenders more likely to be victims than those sentenced for other offences. The paper discusses effective strategies for managing violent offenders in prison. It also provides an overview of the preventive policies and procedures introduced by corrective services agencies that may have contributed to the decline in the number and rate of homicides.
