Published: June 2022

Abstract. In this work, we studied the Cloud Condensation nuclei (CCN) activity and subsaturated droplet growth of Phthalic acid (PTA), isophthalic acid, (IPTA) and terephthalic acid (TPTA), significant benzene polycarboxylic acids and structural isomers found in the atmosphere. Köhler Theory can be effectively applied for hygroscopicity analysis of PTA due to its higher aqueous solubility compared to IPTA and TPTA. As with other hygroscopicity studies of partially water-soluble and effectively water insoluble species, the supersaturated and subsaturated hygroscopicity derived from (KT) principles do not agree. To address the disparities in the sub- and supersaturated droplet growth, we developed a new analytical framework called the Hybrid Activity Model (HAM). HAM incorporates the aqueous solubility of a solute within an adsorption-based activation framework. Frenkel-Halsey-Hill (FHH)-Adsorption Theory (FHH-AT) was combined with the aqueous solubility of the compound to develop HAM. Analysis from HAM was validated using laboratory measurements of pure PTA, IPTA, TPTA and PTA-IPTA internal mixtures. Furthermore, the results generated using HAM were tested against traditional KT and FHH-AT to compare their water uptake predictive capabilities. A single-hygroscopicity parameter was also developed based on the HAM framework. Results show that the HAM based hygroscopicity parameter based can successfully simulate the water uptake behavior of the pure and internally mixed samples. Results indicate that the HAM framework may be applied to atmospheric aerosols of varying chemical structures and aqueous solubility.

Abstract. The eddy-covariance technique measures carbon, water, and energy fluxes between the land surface and the atmosphere at hundreds of sites globally. Collections of standardised and homogenised flux estimates such as the LaThuile, Fluxnet2015, National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS), AsiaFlux, AmeriFlux, and Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN)/OzFlux data sets are invaluable to study land surface processes and vegetation functioning at the ecosystem scale. Space-borne measurements give complementary information on the state of the land surface in the surroundings of the towers. They aid the interpretation of the fluxes and support the benchmarking of terrestrial biosphere models. However, insufficient quality and frequent and/or long gaps are recurrent problems in applying the remotely sensed data and may considerably affect the scientific conclusions. Here, we describe a standardised procedure to extract, quality filter, and gap-fill Earth observation data from the MODIS instruments and the Landsat satellites. The methods consistently process surface reflectance in individual spectral bands, derived vegetation indices, and land surface temperature. A geometrical correction estimates the magnitude of land surface temperature as if seen from nadir or 40∘ off-nadir. Finally, we offer the community living data sets of pre-processed Earth observation data, where version 1.0 features the MCD43A4/A2 and MxD11A1 MODIS products and Landsat Collection 1 Tier 1 and Tier 2 products in a radius of 2 km around 338 flux sites. The data sets we provide can widely facilitate the integration of activities in the eddy-covariance, remote sensing, and modelling fields.
On the expression and distribution of glacial trimlines: a case study of Little Ice Age trimlines on Svalbard
Authors: Rootes Camilla M. , Clark Christopher D.
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Glacial trimlines are important features for constraining
3-dimensional palaeoglaciological reconstructions, but relatively little is
known about the processes of their formation and preservation. A new
classification scheme for the expression of glacial trimlines was presented
by Rootes and Clark (2020), with the aim to encourage further research into
the processes of formation and preservation for trimlines. Here we present
the first application of the trimline classification scheme to a case study
location in central western Spitsbergen, Svalbard. Little Ice Age trimlines
were mapped using remotely sensed imagery and the classification scheme
applied. These data are presented and used to examine the factors that may
influence the distribution and expression of trimlines in order to explore
controls on their formation and preservation. Preliminary analysis suggests
that the type of glacier, and geology, particularly the bedrock erodibility,
may have an influence over the location and expression of glacial trimlines
in Svalbard. These findings open the potential for trimlines to be used as
part of diagnostic landsystems for specific types of glacier, such as
marine-terminating tidewater glaciers, terrestrial glaciers or surge-type
glaciers, and indicates that further research into glacial trimlines may
enable these landforms to yield additional information about palaeo-ice
masses than has previously been the case.
Holocene spatiotemporal millet agricultural patterns in northern China: A dataset of archaeobotanical macroremains
Authors: He Keyang , Lu Houyuan , Zhang Jianping , Wang Can
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Millet agriculture, i.e., broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum) and foxtail millet (Setaria italica), were initially originated in northern China and provided the basis for the emergence of the first state in the Central Plains. However, owing to the lack of a comprehensive archaeobotanical dataset, when, where, and how these two millet types evolved across different regions and periods remains unclear. Here, we presented a dataset of archaeobotanical macroremains (n = 538) spanning the Neolithic and Bronze Ages in northern China and suggested a significant spatiotemporal divergence of millet agriculture in the subhumid mid-lower Yellow River (MLY) and semiarid agro-pastoral ecotone (APE). The key timing of the diffusion and transition of millet agriculture occurred around 6000 cal. a BP, coinciding with the Holocene Optimum and Miaodigou Age. It spread westward and northward from the MLY to the APE and underwent a dramatic transition from low-yield broomcorn millet to high-yield foxtail millet. The combined influence of warm-wet climate, population pressure, and field management may have promoted the intensification, diffusion, and transition of millet agriculture around 6000 cal. a BP. Thereafter, the cropping patterns in the MLY were predominated by foxtail millet (~ 80 %), while those in the APE emphasized on both foxtail (~ 60 %) and broomcorn millet under a persistent drying trend since the mid-Holocene. This study provided the first quantitative spatiotemporal cropping patterns during the Neolithic and Bronze Age in northern China, which can be used for evaluating prehistoric human subsistence, discussing past human-environment interaction, and providing a valuable perspective of agricultural sustainability for the future. The dataset is publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6410368 (He et al., 2022)
Geomorphic signature of relief rejuvenation in Sierra Morena (Betic forebulge, Spain): evidence of segmented uplift in a strongly strain-partitioned, tectonic scenario

Published: June 2022

Abstract. The foreland relief of Alpine orogenic belts is often rejuvenated due to the intraplate propagation of orogenic deformation. Thus, in these long-lived areas, localization of relief rejuvenation may be greatly controlled by reactivation of previous mechanical discontinuities. In this regard, we have explored the relationship among relief rejuvenation pattern and the distribution, geometry and kinematics of faults in a wide sector of the Betics foreland (Sierra Morena, Southern Spain). Specifically, we have focused on the forebulge, a WSW-ENE oriented flexural relief that formed, paired to the Betics foreland basin, in response to orogenic load. For this purpose, we have applied both qualitative and quantitative geomorphological tools, including geomorphic indexes and knickpoints pattern modelling in χ space. We have found that the pattern of relief rejuvenation responds to tectonic activity of two groups of faults that often show evidence of reactivation: overall WSW-ENE faults contributing to both regional NNW-SSE relief segmentation and vertical extrusion of the forebulge, and NW-SE reverse faults associated with an outstanding WSW-ENE topographic segmentation in the west of the study area. In addition, our knickpoint modelling suggests that faults related to the southernmost Sierra Morena mountain front have been particularly active in recent times, although their activity span and the relative uplift that they accommodate differ along the Sierra Morena/foreland basin limit. Knickpoint pattern also suggests a significant reorganization of the analysed drainage basins. The strain partitioning accommodated by the structures involved in relief rejuvenation suggests intraplate propagation of the transpressional deformation reported from the Betics external fold and thrust belt.

Authors: KARA Zekeriya , AYDEMİR Salih , SALTALI Kadir
Published: June 2022

Sürdürülebilir tarımsal üretim toprak kaynaklarının rasyonel kullanımı ile mümkündür. Bu kaynakların bilinçsiz kullanımı dış etkenlere karşı duyarlılığını artırmakta ve tarımsal üretimi kısıtlamaktadır. Toprak kaynaklarının dış etkenlere karşı muhafaza edilmesinde ve geliştirilmesinde en önemli kaynak organik materyallerdir. Toprakların organik madde içeriklerinin azalması ile toprakların fiziksel, kimyasal ve biyolojik özellikleri olumsuz etkilemektedir. Toprakların fizikokimyasal özelliklerinin iyileştirilmesinde kullanılabilecek materyallerden birisi de organik madde içeriği yüksek (%84.1) olan pirinadır. Pirina zeytin üreten tesislerde atık olarak çıkan organik kökenli bir materyaldir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; kumlu-tın tesktürlü bir toprağa pirina uygulayarak toprakların nem sabiteleri, kıvam indeksleri, su geçirgenliği, aşınabilirlik parametreleri, organik madde miktarı ve pH değerlerine olan etkileri incelemektir. Araştırmada pirina farklı oranlarda (%2, %4, %6 ve %8) kumlu tın tekstürlü bir toprağa uygulanmıştır. Çalışma tesadüf parselleri deneme desenine göre üç tekerrürlü olarak saksılarda yürütülmüştür. Çalışma başlangıcından 7 ay sonra alınan toprak analiz sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde; hidrolik iletkenlik, tarla kapasitesi, yarayışlı su, agregat stabilitesi, likit limit, plastik limit ve organik madde değerlerinin istatistiksel olarak önemli düzeyde (p<0.01)  arttığı, buna karşın dispersiyon oranı, hacim ağırlığı ve pH değerlerinin ise benzer şekilde azaldığı görülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre pirinanın hafif tekstürlü toprakların iyileştirilmesinde organik kaynak olarak kullanılması önerilebilir. Ancak, pirina uygulamasından hemen sonra yetiştirilecek bitkiye olan etkisi konusunda araştırmaların yapılmasında fayda vardır.
The Weaponization of Artificial Intelligence in the Military: The Importance of Meaningful Human Control
Authors: SAIDI Imane
Published: June 2022

Artificial Intelligence has become an essential part of our lives. It has without a doubt made life much easier and practical whether on a global scale such as economical and political development or on a smaller scale such as our day-to-day lives. The last half-decade marked the beginning of the development of robots that have the ability to perform human tasks. Originally, it was expected that the main disadvantage of AI technology would be related to the loss of work prospects since humans would be replaced by machines that are able to operate in a more efficient matter. While this concern is certainly valid, there is a far more severe issue at hand which is none other than the military's use of AI. Governments, journalists, and tech leaders argue that developing and using intelligent and autonomous weaponry is unquestionably a fatal mistake that might lead to catastrophic consequences; it is particularly problematic if these technologies end up in the hands of the wrong individuals. These experts and scholars argued that these weapons could eventually lead to more damage and destruction and could possibly result in a third world war. Thus, they attempted to explore the moral and, most significantly, legal ramifications of these autonomous weapons. As a result, a new formula had to be introduced; this formula is Meaningful Human Control. In fact, the ultimate goal is to make Meaningful Human Control a legal requirement under International Law in order to allow it to serve as a potential solution for a number of moral and legal challenges that these fully autonomous weapons raise. This paper seeks to understand and elaborate on the benefits and the challenges that come with the integration of meaningful human control in the use of autonomous weapons systems.

Published: June 2022

Ekonomi politikalarında değişimler kentleşme politikalarını da etkilemektedir. Bu kapsamda kooperatif ve toplu konut sisteminin yaygınlaşması ve toplu konutların kent çeperinde yer seçmesi özel araç kullanımını artmasında etkili olmuştur. Bu nedenle bu süreçteki kentleşme kentsel yayılma biçiminde yaşanmıştır. Türkiye’de de benzer süreçler yaşanmakla birlikte birtakım yasal düzenlemeler de kentsel yayılma üzerinde etkili olmuştur. Örneğin 6360 sayılı kanun ile büyükşehir statüsündeki illerde idari sınırların genişletilmesi kentsel yayılmayı tetikleyen faktörler arasındadır. Kentsel yayılmanın başlıca neden olduğu sorunlar arasında enerji ihtiyacının artması, yutak alanların azalması yer almaktadır. Buna bağlı olarak yerelde iklim değişikliğinin bir etkisi olan sıcaklık ve yağış verilerinde değişiklikler görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada ise Konya ili örneği üzerinden kentsel yayılmanın yerel iklim değişikliği üzerine etkisi sıcaklık ve yağış parametreleri üzerinden sınanmıştır. Konya’nın 3 merkez ilçesi (Karatay, Meram ve Selçuklu) baz alınarak yapılan çalışmada 1960-2019 yılları arasındaki sıcaklık ve yağış verileri ile birlikte kentin saçaklanma veya yayılma biçiminde büyümesi ilişkilendirilmiştir.

Bu çalışmada Hatay ilinde yaban hayvanlarının tarımsal faaliyet üzerindeki ekonomik etkilerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Hatay Bölgesi, fauna ve flora bakımından zengin bir coğrafyaya sahiptir. Bu durum bölgenin sosyal, ekonomik ve tarımsal yapısı üzerinde etkili olmaktadır. Yaban hayatının tarımsal faaliyetler üzerinde olumlu etkisi yanında olumsuz etkileri de bulunmaktadır. Bu kapsamda yabani hayvan zararlarının yoğun olarak görüldüğü köylerden Kartopu örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 31 üretici ile yüz-yüze görüşmeler yapılmıştır.  Elde edilen veriler değerlendirilerek analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin analizi sonucunda en çok zararı veren yaban hayvanlarının kemirgenler, kuşlar ve yaban domuzları olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yaban hayvanlarının ürünlere verdikleri maddi zarar yılda ortalama 4.000 TL’dir.  Üreticilerin mücadele için harcadıkları miktar ise ortalama 855 TL’dir. Üreticiler yaban hayvanlarıyla mücadele için en fazla kimyasal zehir ve ateşli silahlar kullanmaktadır. Kullanılan bu yöntemler doğal dengeyi bozmaktadır. Bu nedenle devletin ilgili kurumları aracılığı ile yaban hayvanlarıyla doğal mücadele yöntemlerini üreticilere öğreten eğitimler düzenlenmeli, yaban hayvanlarının doğal yaşam alanlarının sınırları daraltılmamalı ve insan-hayvan çatışmasını en az düzeye indirecek çalışmalar yapılmalıdır.

Management of medical record documents must be monitored, both the time of their provision and the timeliness of their return. The establishment of standard operating procedures (SOP) at General Hospital X Surabaya aims to maintain administrative order and improve service quality. This includes the return of medical record documents, which the standard is 2x24 hours after the patient is declared home. However, there are still discrepancies in the implementation of the time for returning inpatient medical record documents to the storage room. The purpose was to determine the suitability of the procedure for returning inpatient medical record documents in the fourth quarter of 2021. The method was qualitative, with a retrospective approach. The population and sample are inpatient medical record documents in the fourth quarter of 2021 as many as 2,995 medical record documents and 5 officers. Used purposive sampling technique, with observation sheets and interviews. The results found were that 57,3% (1692 documents) didn’t comply with the procedure for returning medical record documents, and 42,7% (1263 documents) complied. Conclusion, the time for returning inpatient medical record documents for the fourth quarter of 2021 hasn’t been in accordance with existing procedures, because many medical record document returns exceed the 2x24 hour limit. The reason is disorganized administration of officers and there isn’t continuous evaluation to improve system for returning medical record documents with regulations. Suggestions monitoring of staff performance, as well as optimizing the use of computers to make it easier to find medical record documents that haven’t been returned.

Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco) is the most important and most productive species in Europe, outside its natural range. This study aimed to examine the presence of interaction between the effects of the genetic structure of provenances from the United States and Canada and three localities of provenance tests in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

For this research, we measured diameters at breast height of all trees, and heights of 10 trees per provenance in three tests of Douglas fir at the age of plants 32 years. Four provenances are represented in all three tests and additional two provenances in two tests.  We examined the variance between provenances and habitats using multivariate analysis, for four provenances in all three habitats, and six provenances in two habitats (Bosanska Gradiška and Zavidovići).

Multivariate analysis of variance for four provenances at all three localities showed that there were no statistically significant differences in diameters at breast height and heights caused by the interaction of provenances x localities. Multivariate analysis for six joint provenances at Bosanska Gradiška and Zavidovići tests showed that there were no statistically significant differences for diameter at breast height caused by interaction locality x provenance, and there were statistically significant differences caused by interactions of locality x provenances for height.

The obtained results can be used for the introduction of Douglas fir on predefined habitats that correspond to the conditions of the experimental plots, as well as for the selection of the best provenances for raising clone plantations or seed plantations.

Objectives: Data sharing has become a requirement of many funding bodies and is becoming a scientific standard in many disciplines. In clinical research, however, data sharing can conflict with the obligation to protect privacy of study participants and especially of patients. General recommendations on data sharing exist also for clinical research, but so far they lack practical and Swiss-specific aspects. The objective of this document is to provide practical recommendations for all relevant aspects of data sharing in agreement with legislation in Switzerland. Methods: This document was written by members of the SCTO’s CTU Network, a network of academic clinical trial units. The process did not follow a formalized Delphi process. After an internal consensus round, this report was published as pre-print for external review. This is the second version with feedback from these external reviews incorporated. We publish this document as a text in progress, as we expect relevant changes in related fields such as the development of further dedicated medical repositories or methodological advances in de-identification techniques or changes to the legal situation. Results: We developed principles and practical recommendations with respect to informed consent, data management plan, de-identification, data structure and format, coding of variables, metadata and documentation, version control, selection of repository, requesting and use of data. We also provide a summary of legal aspects relevant for the Swiss context. Conclusions: The intention to share data has an impact not only after a clinical trial or an observational study is completed, but also during the planning period, the conduct and the analysis phase. Clinical researchers need to be aware at the beginning of a study on how to inform patients and at least the amount of work related to preparing data, metadata, and any further documentation for being shared. This report provides aspects to be considered, suggests decision criteria, and provides examples and checklists, in order to support data sharing in practice.
Close to others - closer to happiness?: An empirical investigation of the social determinants of subjective wellbeing
Authors: Pancheva Marta , Vásquez Alejandra
Published: June 2022

Extensive research on the determinants of people‘s subjective wellbeing has shed light on factors that influence quality of life and that traditional welfare measures tend to neglect. Particularly important among these appear to be the relational, interpersonal aspects of human existence, and both intrinsic and extrinsic benefits of participating in different types of social networks and associative activities. This field of analysis, however, is not devoid of challenges. These include: the wide variety of social proxies adopted in the literature, which has often led to mixed results; and the almost exclusive use of cross-sectional data, which makes it impossible to control for individual unobserved characteristics that could significantly affect both wellbeing levels, and the quality of one’s social and relational context. In this study, we address both of these issues by examining the association between subjective wellbeing, and a rich set of 17 social capital indicators reflecting the following dimensions: personal relationships, social network support, civic engagement, and trust and cooperative norms. Moreover, we use longitudinal data, and control for time-constant sources of heterogeneity among respondents, such as personality traits and predispositions. Our results suggest a consistent relationship between wellbeing and all four dimensions of social capital examined. Furthermore, we find evidence of important gender differences in the way social and relational factors affect overall life satisfaction.
A systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies of the antecedents and consequences of wellbeing among university students
Authors: du Toit Anton , Thomson Russell , Page Andrew
Published: June 2022

Background and objectives: Wellbeing among university students is associated with better academic outcomes and diminished harm from mental illness. This study systematically reviews and meta-analyses longitudinal studies of the antecedents and consequences of wellbeing within this population, providing an overview which establishes a ‘natural history’ of wellbeing to form a background for intervention and policy. Method: This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of the peer-reviewed literature, based on a broad range of search terms across four journal databases in psychology, medicine and education. Studies were organised by the domain of their study variables (i.e., Self, Relationships, or Institutional Context) and variables relating to wellbeing were extracted. The incremental effect of study variables measured at baseline upon prospective wellbeing was calculated with semipartial correlation coefficients which controlled for baseline wellbeing. Meta-regressions were used to examine the effect of follow-up interval on effect sizes. Results: Sixty-two longitudinal studies of university student cohorts were identified. In 57 studies, wellbeing was an outcome variable. Meta-analyses showed that effects were moderated by measurement interval between baseline and follow-up, becoming weaker with longer intervals, and that this was not an artifact of the measurement instrument. The study factors with the strongest positive effect sizes after controlling for baseline wellbeing were authenticity, self-esteem, self-support for autonomy, emotional repair, and ability to regulate distress and despondency; relationship commitment and group memberships; self-identification with the university and time pressure. Study factors with the strongest negative effect sizes were uncertainty regarding university, materialism, a belief in social complexity, depression, and stress. In five studies, wellbeing was an antecedent, showing positive associations with educational outcomes. Conclusion: This review identified several antecedents of student wellbeing which could be targeted for interventions. These included self-relationship, emotion regulation, and interventions to decrease mental illness. Universities might also make it easier to establish and maintain groups (e.g., study cohorts, interest groups). Many variables which affect wellbeing are not amenable to study with experimental methods, but their study and use in wellbeing interventions should not be neglected. Because the antecedents of wellbeing are numerous and diverse, further research in the area should take advantage of research methods which maximise the variety of data collected and minimise respondent burden, such as passively collected and linked data.
EFL Student Learning Motivation: A Study of Classroom-Specific Factors
Authors: Tien Tran Ba , Ngoc Nguyen Thi Minh
Published: June 2022

Motivation plays a vital role in foreign language learning as it leads to deep, goal-oriented and persistent learning. A number of variables are associated with motivation, among which five factors viz., Teacher, Teaching Methodology, Text, Task and Test. These are classroom-specific and can be adjustable for enhancing student learning motivation. This paper investigates EFL students’ perception of these five variables and factors that influence their motivation. Renandya’s 5Ts model was used as a framework for investigation. The instrument for data collection was a five-point Likert Scale questionnaire that included 27 items related to factors that affected students’ motivation in language learning classroom. The data was analyzed with SPSS software version 21.00. It was found that the students perceived Teacher as the most important factor, followed by the factors of Teaching Methodology, Task and Text; the Test factor was considered as the least important. The regression analysis, however, shows that the Text, or Teaching materials in current use were the most influential. The findings fill the gap of research in Vietnam’s EFL context and therefore, they are of theoretical and practical significance.
The Pragmatic Role and Heights of Women in Nation Building
Authors: Shairgojri Aadil Ahmad
Published: June 2022

Women’s have proven themselves dynamic, vibrant, sincere, and perfect in a variety of fields all over the world. Women have demonstrated that they are not inferior to men in any way through their contributions to shaping the development of a nation. To prove their genius in a male-dominated society, they are efficient and perseverant enough to overcome all odds, challenges, and obstacles with their wits. In post-conflict countries, women can play a greater role in nation-building, which can lead to economic and political stability. Creating a more just, peaceful, and prosperous society requires the active involvement of women in post-conflict nation-building. The aim of study is to highlight the role of women in nation building.
Det befriande ansvarets paradox. En studie av jämställdhetsinitiativet #killmiddag
Authors: Olsson Josefin , Lauri Johanna
Published: June 2022

Men’s responsibility is currently in focus in much of public debate on gender equality in Sweden and a number of initiatives display an ambition to include men in what has traditionally been regarded a women’s issue. One of these initiatives is called #killmiddag (#guytalk), a call out to men to get together and have intimate conversations in order to free themselves from destructive norms of masculinity. The empirical material consists of conversational guides and instructions for #killmiddag and select newspaper articles published between 2016 and 2018. Using a poststructuralist approach, and theories on therapeutic discourse, this article scrutinizes this initiative with the aim to explore what possibilities and restraints the initiative may give rise to in regards to feminist political change. The analysis explores contemporary ideals about intimacy and focuses on how problems and solutions are articulated discursively, and how a category like “gender equality” is filled with meaning. Furthermore, problems with using personal experience as a source of objective knowledge are highlighted, and the article shows that the use of emotions and intimacy, with their built-in epistemological fragility, may not be suitable when striving for political change.
