Abstract. Water quality in lakes is an emergent property of complex biotic and abiotic processes that differ across spatial and temporal scales. Water quality is also a determinant of ecosystem services that lakes provide, and thus is of great interest to ecologists. Increasingly, machine learning and other computer science techniques are being used to predict water quality dynamics as well as to gain a greater understanding of water quality patterns and controls. To benefit both the sciences of ecology and computer science, we have created a benchmark dataset of lake water quality time series and vertical profiles. LakeBeD-US contains over 500 million unique observations of lake water quality collected by multiple long-term monitoring organizations across 17 water quality variables in 21 lakes in the United States. There are two published versions of LakeBeD-US: an "Ecology Edition" published in the Environmental Data Initiative repository, and a "Computer Science Edition" published in the Hugging Face repository. Each edition is formatted in a manner conducive to inquiries and analyses specific to each domain. For ecologists, LakeBeD-US provides an opportunity to study the spatial and temporal dynamics of several lakes with varying water quality, ecosystem, and landscape characteristics. For computer scientists, LakeBeD-US acts as a benchmark dataset that enables the advancement of machine learning for water quality prediction.
Accurate space-based NOx emission estimates with the flux divergence approach require fine-scale model information on local oxidation chemistry and profile shapes
Authors: Cifuentes Felipe , Eskes Henk , Dammers Enrico , Bryan Charlotte , Boersma Folkert
Published: February 2025

Abstract. The flux divergence approach (FDA) is a popular technique for deriving NOx emission estimates from tropospheric NO2 columns measured by the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) satellite sensor. An attractive aspect of the FDA is that the method simplifies three-dimensional atmospheric chemistry and transport processes into a two-dimensional (longitude–latitude) steady-state continuity equation for columns that balances local NOx emissions with the net outflow and chemical loss of NOx. Here we test the capability of the FDA to reproduce known NOx emissions from synthetic NO2 column retrievals generated with the LOTOS-EUROS chemistry transport model over the Netherlands at high spatial resolution of about 2×2 km during summer. Our results show that the FDA captures the magnitude and spatial distribution of the NOx emissions to high accuracy (absolute bias <9 %), provided that the observations represent the NO2 column in the boundary layer, that wind speed and direction are representative for the boundary layer (PBL) column, and that the high-resolution spatiotemporal variability of the NO2 lifetimes and NOx:NO2 ratio is accounted for in the inversion instead of using single fixed values. The FDA systematically overestimates NOx emissions by 15 %–60 % when using tropospheric NO2 columns as the driving observation, while using PBL NO2 columns largely overcomes this systematic error. This merely reflects the fact that the local balance between emissions and sinks of NOx occurs in the boundary layer, which is decoupled from the NO2 in the free troposphere. Based on the recommendations from this sensitivity test, we then applied the FDA using observations of NO2 columns from TROPOMI, corrected for contributions from free-tropospheric NO2, between 1 June and 31 August 2018. The NOx emissions derived from the default TROPOMI retrievals are biased low over cities and industrialized areas. However, when the coarse 1×1° TM5-MP NO2 profile used in the retrieval is replaced by the high-resolution profile of LOTOS-EUROS, the TROPOMI NOx emissions are enhanced by 22 % and are in better agreement with the inventory for the Netherlands. This emphasizes the importance of using realistic high-resolution a priori NO2 profile shapes in the TROPOMI retrieval. We conclude that accurate quantitative NOx emissions estimates are possible with the FDA, but they require sophisticated, fine-scale corrections for both the NO2 observations driving the method and the estimates of the NO2 chemical lifetime and NOx:NO2 ratio. This information can be obtained from high-resolution chemistry transport model simulations at the expense of the simplicity and applicability of the FDA.

Abstract. A declining spring snowpack is expected to have widespread effects on montane and subalpine forests in western North America and across the globe. The way that tree water demands respond to this change will have important impacts on forest health and downstream water subsidies. Here, we present data from a network of sap velocity sensors and xylem water isotope measurements from three common tree species (Picea engelmannii, Abies lasiocarpa and Populus tremuloides) across a hillslope transect in a subalpine watershed in the Upper Colorado River basin. We use these data to compare tree- and stand-level responses to the historically high spring snowpack but low summer rainfall of 2019 against the low spring snowpack but high summer rainfall amounts of 2021 and 2022. From the sap velocity data, we found that only 40 % of the trees showed an increase in cumulative transpiration in response to the large snowpack year (2019), illustrating the absence of a common response to interannual spring snowpack variability. The trees that increased water use during the year with the large spring snowpack were all found in dense canopy stands – irrespective of species – while trees in open-canopy stands were more reliant on summer rains and, thus, more active during the years with modest snow and higher summer rain amounts. Using the sap velocity data along with supporting measurements of soil moisture and snow depth, we propose three mechanisms that lead to stand density modulating the tree-level response to changing seasonality of precipitation: Topographically mediated convergence zones have consistent access to recharge from snowmelt which supports denser stands with high water demands that are more reliant and sensitive to changing snow. Interception of summer rain in dense stands reduces the throughfall of summer rain to surface soils, limiting the sensitivity of the dense stands to changes in summer rain. Shading in dense stands allows the snowpack to persist deeper into the growing season, providing high local reliance on snow during the fore-summer (early-summer) drought period. Combining data generated from natural gradients in stand density, like this experiment, with results from controlled forest-thinning experiments can be used to develop a better understanding of the responses of forested ecosystems to futures with reduced spring snowpack.
Biodiversity futures: digital approaches to knowledge and conservation of biological diversity
Authors: Freitas Helena , Gouveia António C.
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Biodiversity, encompassing species diversity, genetic resources, and ecosystems, is essential for human well-being and quality of life. However, the scale of human activities has significantly impacted the planet's biodiversity, with many species facing extinction in the coming decades with unknown consequences. Global commitments, such as the Aichi Biodiversity Targets and the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals, are not delivering consistent results, and progress on conservation has been frustratingly slow. With a short time frame to meet the 2030 targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, urgent action is needed to address the crisis. Digital technologies emerge as indispensable tools in understanding, monitoring, and conserving biodiversity. They offer multiple solutions, from remote sensing to citizens involvement mediated by science apps, providing unprecedented volumes of data and innovative tools for conservation efforts. Despite their immense potential, digital solutions raise concerns about technology and data accessibility, environmental impacts, and technical limitations, as well as the need for specialized human resources, robust collaboration networks, and effective communication strategies. This paper, drawn from discussions at the Digital with Purpose Global Summit in 2023 and 2024, held in Portugal, and complemented by expert opinion and literature, reflects on existing biodiversity-related digital technologies, identifies challenges and opportunities, and proposes steps to strengthen the nexus between technology and the biodiversity agenda. By providing science and technology stakeholders with recommendations on accelerating the role of digital technologies in biodiversity knowledge and conservation, it aims to catalyse impactful change in this critical field of devising brighter futures for biodiversity and humanity.

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Current methodologies for the evaluation of fretting in pitch bearing raceways only consider damage induced by oscillating control movements. However, pitch bearings can remain static for long operative and non-operative periods, where load fluctuations cause fretting damage due to the small movements and deformations at the contact. In this work a semi-analytical methodology is presented and an analysis of the fretting phenomenon in pitch bearing raceways in the absence of lubricant under both productive and non-productive periods of static pitch control is accomplished. The analysis is performed following the energy-based wear model and the calculation of a total of 30 times series of 10 min of duration concerning winds speeds from 3 to 25 m s−1. As a result, critical locations based on the dissipated energy are identified for the different wind speeds and the contributions of operational and non-operational times, as well as the prediction of damage shapes on the raceway for both cases, are evaluated independently and compared.
Total microbiome of an African filarial and arbovirus vector, Culex quinquefasciatus: insights into composition and prevalence of human pathogenic microbes
Authors: Munjita S.M. , Abu Y.E. , Mubemba B.
Published: February 2025

Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes are important vectors for zoonotic pathogens like West Nile virus, dengue fever virus, and Rift Valley fever virus. Despite their role in pathogen transmission, comprehensive microbiome studies of these mosquitoes in Africa are limited, with most research elsewhere focusing on their midgut microbiome. This study addresses this gap by analysing the total microbiome of African Cx. quinquefasciatus from Zambia using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). The study generated 71,817 and 29,908 reads specific to Cx. quinquefasciatus and microbes, respectively, identifying 146 distinct microbes. Bacteria were the most prevalent, accounting for 85.6% (125/146) of all microbes, followed by viruses (8.2%, 12/146), fungi (4.8%, 7/146), and other eukaryotic organisms (1.4%, 2/146). Frequently detected genera included Rickettsia sp., Wolbachia sp., Erwinia sp., Enterococcus sp., Pantoea sp., and Providencia sp. Providencia rettgeri, Wolbachia endosymbiont of Cx. quinquefasciatus, and Rickettsia endosymbiont of Bemisia tabaci were among the most abundant species. Notably, about 7.4% of the identified microbes are known human pathogens. This study provides an overview of the microbiome of Cx. quinquefasciatus, highlighting symbiotic, commensal, and pathogenic microbes, some of which could be useful for microbial manipulation strategies to control mosquitoes and mosquito-borne pathogens.

Authors: Contreras-Pacheco Orlando E. , Lésmez-Peralta Juan Camilo , Torres-Barreto Martha Liliana
Published: February 2025

Este estudio explora el fraude como un fenómeno presente dentro del entorno empresarial, destacando su impacto sobre la sostenibilidad organizacional y la confianza pública hacia las empresas. El fraude representa no solo una amenaza económica, sino también un desafío ético y reputacional con amplias implicaciones sociales. Para abordar esta problemática, el estudio aplica la teoría del triángulo del fraude, que identifica la presión, la oportunidad y la racionalización como antecedentes de comportamientos fraudulentos individuales. Metodológicamente, se realizó una encuesta en dos etapas sobre 138 profesionales activos en Colombia. Los datos fueron analizados mediante técnicas de correlación y mediación, utilizando modelos de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados no respaldan un vínculo entre la presión y el fraude; sin embargo, revelan un efecto de mediación total de la racionalización en la relación causal entre la oportunidad y el fraude. Estos hallazgos resaltan la centralidad de la racionalización en la comprensión de los comportamientos fraudulentos en entornos empresariales, y subrayan la importancia de la educación en ética como mecanismo para frenar comportamientos vinculados a la justificación interna de acciones fraudulentas, con el objetivo de mitigar su futura ocurrencia.
Heterogeneity and creative expression: A creative writing artistic approach to focus on emotions surrounding disabilities

Published: February 2025

Does heterogeneity matter in creative expression? If so, what impact do creators and disability have on the development of emotive art? Art, of any medium, has the ability to transcend barriers, and therefore it was decided to establish a method to test the skills of gathered creative individuals, to look “beyond convention and prejudice” (Kanari & Souliotou, 2023, p. 294). This paper focuses on collaborative inquiry with members from the Critical Creative Reading and Writing Collective (CCRWC) who have produced and authored the work contained in this paper. Heterogeneity in creativity is significant when investigating the connection between the art, the artist, and the audience. Through methods of applying limitations to our creativity, we produced new pieces of art which demonstrated how limitations can alter the self-perspective of our own creative skills, which was made available through creative inquiry. The outcomes were shared, and positive feedback was sought regarding the differences between the pieces, as interpretation by others can provide new insights for future creativity. Our paper creates a narrative for heterogeneity in the creative space and the importance of continued inquiry when focusing on disabilities.
August in translation
Authors: Stone C. M.
Published: February 2025

“August in Translation” investigates the ethics of engagement with poetry written after mass social trauma (Witness Poetry), and the possible ways of imagining a creative methodology for compassionate relationship through translation and response poetry. As a first step in compassionate engagement, I use translation of the Witness Poem; both an act of “love” and a “risk, a transgression”. I then write response poetry, after translation, opening further reflection and creative exploration, illuminating the anxieties, ambiguities and “transgressions” within the position of witness to Witness. Compassion, as a framework for ethical engagement, relies on an acknowledgement of distance, of being on the fringes of another’s trauma, and endlessly reaching toward an unreachable other. These poems are a case-study of this methodology, a tool for opening the response to the original Witness Poem, coming to terms with the risk of translation and feeling through my own position of being-on-the-fringe to another’s poetic testimony. This project focuses on the reading, translation and response to “August” by Sarah Kirsch. My translation is not meant to offer a final version of this German Witness Poem, rather I intend to offer an opening towards the original poem, as the impossibility of translation resists closure and maintains ongoing relationship. The “response poems” are a working-through of positionality relating to poetic testimony to trauma, acting as artefacts mapping my personal response and methodological troubles/thinking/questioning of engagement, opened by the initial, unfinishable act of translation.
La justificación del ideal nobiliario en los libros de armerías
Authors: Valverde Ogallar Pedro
Published: February 2025

La emblemática heráldica tuvo unos orígenes eminentemente prácticos. Ya fuera por diferenciarse en campos de batalla y torneos, reconocer a las huestes o por dar una señal de identidad a productos elaborados, se trataba de una realizar una distinción rápida y visual. Sin embargo, la evolución de la sociedad medieval hace de la heráldica un elemento de diferenciación del estatus nobiliario frente al resto del corpus social. Los elementos gráficos que fueron pensados de una manera eminentemente práctica, pasan a convertirse en definidores de un rango social. Puesto que este rango debía tener unos cimientos basados en la mejor condición del linaje del que eran titulares, las diferentes familias van a hacer un esfuerzo en trasladar el relato de mitificación del linaje al campo de la literatura heráldica, dando origen a un género que se aparta de los tradicionales armoriales para acercarse a las genealogías. Serán los libros de armerías. Así, en ellos se utilizan leyendas que enlazan el origen mítico del linaje a través de los elementos iconográficos del emblema familiar.
araldica nell'iconografia dei santi
Authors: Camelliti Vittoria
Published: February 2025

Non sempre gli attributi iconografici dei santi sono classificabili come segni araldici: nella maggior parte dei casi si tratta di emblemi generici, funzionali al riconoscimento dei diversi personaggi. Il santo (la cui immagine, di per sé, è spesso assunta a segno araldico), può essere qualificato araldicamente da attributi che gli sono propri e che lo identificano in quanto tale (come nel caso del vessillo crociato di san Giorgio o del piviale gigliato del santo angioino Ludovico da Tolosa); oppure da attributi ‘esterni’ che lo riqualificano in senso identitario, come accade per i santi patroni cittadini cosiddetti vessilliferi. In assenza di attributi specifici, la qualificazione araldica dei santi è possibile grazie all’inserimento degli elementi di uno stemma (figure e colori) sulle sue vesti, all’interno degli sfondi e in altri dettagli della composizione. Le strategie figurative sono varie e impiegate secondo modalità simili sia con riferimento all’araldica civica che all’araldica familiare in contesti di devozione privata.

Ya hace algunas décadas que el medievalismo se interroga sobre cuestiones de género, pero es mucho el trabajo que queda por hacer todavía, sobre todo en lo que concierne a los sellos. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo esclarecer el estado en el que se encuentran las nuevas investigaciones focalizadas en la sigilografía, un género que, a pesar de su relevancia en la Edad Media por su valor legal y comunicativo, ha sido frecuentemente desatendido por la mayor parte de la historiografía. Partiendo del fundamental catálogo realizado por Ferran de Sagarra en el primer tercio del siglo XX, estas líneas analizan exhaustivamente, y desde un punto de vista poliédrico, las piezas sigilares abiertas por las mujeres en los territorios catalanes de la Corona de Aragón de 1200 a 1400 para dilucidar hasta qué punto se convirtieron en efectivos y efectistas instrumentos de identidad y de reivindicación por parte de sus titulares.

Background: Peripheral nerve involvement during disease states is extremely common and remains a major cause of disability. The aim of our study was to determine the role of electroneuromyography (ENMG) in the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy. A

Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study over a period of three (3) months at the neurosensory functional exploration unit of the neurology department of the Ignace Deen national hospital.

Results: ENMG was performed in 104 patients; 62 men (60%) and 42 women (40%), i.e. a sex ratio of 1.5. The mean age was 50 ± 16 years. ENMG results were pathological in the majority of our patients (93.3%). Axonal damage was the most common type of neuropathy (85.6%). Truncal involvement was found in 88.7% of patients. The external popliteal sciatic nerve (EPS) and internal popliteal sciatic nerve (IPS) were the most affected, with 76.3% and 47.4% respectively. The most common diagnosis was multiple mononeuropathy (47.4%), followed by polyneuropathy (32%).

Conclusion: A long-term study of other aspects of electroneuromyography would allow better exploration of the different types of peripheral neuropathy.

Published: February 2025

Mental health disorders are a significant issue, yet there is currently no consistent data regarding the factors that may contribute to their occurrence. The aim of this study was to identify the factors that may influence the occurrence of mental health disorders in the undergraduate student population. This meta-analysis, registered in PROSPERO, was conducted as of September 5, 2024. The systematic searches were conducted on three databases (Scopus, Embase, and PubMed). Data on factors related to the occurrence of mental health disorders in undergraduate students were collected to calculate pooled point estimates using the Mantel-Haenszel test. Out of 6,837 articles, 16 articles were included in the analysis. Our findings revealed that female students had a higher chance of experiencing mental health disorders compared to male students (OR: 1.43; 95%CI: 1.14–1.80; p-Egger of 0.1041; p-Heterogeneity of <0.0001; p=0.0020). The chance of having mental health disorders was also higher among single students compared to those in relationships (OR: 1.20; 95%CI: 1.02–1.43; p-Egger of 0.0535; p-Heterogeneity of 0.1130; p=0.0180). This study did not find any associations between age group, family income, smoking, living arrangements, years of study, or regularity of physical activity with the occurrence of mental health disorders. These findings could serve as a basis for improving policies aimed at reducing the rates of mental health disorders in undergraduate students.

Freedom of opinion is one of the main foundations of a democratic country, where everyone has the right to express thoughts, views and criticism without fear. However, since the ratification of the new Criminal Code (KUHP), there has been a lot of debate in society. Several articles in the Criminal Code are considered to limit freedom of expression, especially regarding criticism of the government, state officials and certain institutions. This condition raises concerns that these regulations could have a negative impact on democracy and human rights in Indonesia. There are those who support this regulation on the grounds of maintaining public order, but many are also worried that civil liberties will be threatened. This article tries to review how the new Criminal Code affects freedom of expression in Indonesia, as well as looking at society's views and the importance of finding a balance between human rights and the public interest.
