Greenland's annual and interannual mass variations from GRACE/GRACE-FO linked with climatic indices
Authors: Cambier Florent , Darrozes José , Llubes Muriel , Seoane Lucia , Ramillien Guillaume
Published: February 2025

Abstract. The ongoing global warming threatens the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS). The GIS exhibits an overall mass loss since 1990. This ice mass loss varies annually and interannually, reflecting the intricate interactions between the ice sheet and the atmospheric and oceanic circulations. In this study, we look at the temporal variations of the GIS mass balance, from April 2002 to the end of 2023, using data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and its Follow-On (GRACE-FO) missions. We analyze the common cycles and the connections between GIS mass changes, climatic indices, and meteorological parameters, namely: North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Greenland Blocking Index (GBI), Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), temperature, precipitation, and surface albedo. Each variable is cumulated over time to align with the monthly mass variations since 2002. By applying Empirical Orthogonal Functions to mass variation data derived from the International Combination Service for Time-variable Gravity Fields (COST-G) solution, we identified five principal modes of variability, explaining 67.5 % of the total variance. The primary mode captures annual and interannual frequencies, ranging from 4 to 11 years, while subsequent modes only add information on the interannual part. Wavelet Analysis reveals significant annual correlations between ice mass changes and temperature (r = -0.88), NAO (r = 0.74) or GBI (r = -0.85). There are also notable lags such as a 3.5 year delayed response of the AMO to GIS mass variations during the 22 years of data. The delayed response can be linked to the time needed for Greenland’s lost mass of low-density water to reach the area where the AMO index is calculated. We also suggest an annual cycle connecting the GIS mass changes, the climatic indices, and the meteorological parameters. On the other hand, we observe complex interannual variations, including the role of sea surface temperature and atmospheric pressure in modulating ice mass balance, temperature, and precipitation. Results also indicate that cycles of 11 years in NAO, GBI, and temperature are strongly linked to solar activity. Furthermore, we observe cycles, lasting between 4 and 7 years, that align with studies linking them to atmospheric oscillations or the effect of the solid Earth’s internal geodynamics.

Abstract. Land surface models (LSMs) are critical components of Earth system models (ESMs), enabling simulations of energy and water fluxes essential for understanding climate systems. Soil hydraulic parameters, derived using pedotransfer functions (PTFs), are key to modeling soil-plant-water interactions but introduce uncertainties in soil moisture predictions. However, a key knowledge gap exists in understanding how specific soil hydraulic properties contribute to these uncertainties and in identifying the regions most affected by them. This study assesses the influence of soil parameter settings on soil moisture variability in the Community Land Model version 5 (CLM5) over the contiguous United States (CONUS) using Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis. EOF analysis identified dominant spatial and temporal soil moisture patterns across multiple experimental configurations and highlighted the impact of soil parameter variability on hydrological processes. The results revealed significant discrepancies in soil moisture simulations, particularly in the central Great Plains, potentially due to the combination of arid climate conditions and limitations in modeling saturated hydraulic conductivity and soil water retention curves. Seasonal soil moisture dynamics aligned broadly with observed patterns but showed biases in magnitude and phase, emphasizing the need for refined parameterization, such as improving the representation of infiltration and drainage processes. Comparisons with ERA5-Land reanalysis data revealed improved alignment in regions with consistent climatic gradients but persistent model deficiencies in hydrologically complex areas, particularly under more arid climates such as the Great Plains where hydrological processes are notoriously harder to reproduce. This research highlights the necessity of refining soil parameter representations, utilizing high-resolution datasets, and considering climatic variability to boost the performance of LSMs. Importantly, these findings also open the door to future efforts that incorporate dynamic soil properties into LSMs. Much of this work demonstrates the dynamism of soil properties, and while this study advances modeling by revealing the importance of their inclusion, the next crucial step will be developing approaches that allow these properties to be dynamic within LSMs. This paper serves as a foundational step toward that goal, paving the way for more complex and integrated modeling frameworks that better capture soil-hydrology-climate interactions.

Abstract. Subarctic cities notoriously experience severe winter pollution episodes with PM2.5 concentrations above 35 µg m-3, the US EPA’s 24-hour standard. While winter sources of primary particles in Fairbanks, Alaska have been studied, the chemistry driving secondary particle formation is elusive. Biomass burning is a major source of wintertime primary particles, making the PM2.5 rich in light-absorbing brown carbon (BrC). When BrC absorbs sunlight, it produces photooxidants – reactive species potentially important for secondary sulfate and secondary organic aerosol formation – yet photooxidant measurements in high-latitude PM2.5 remain scarce. During the winter 2022 ALPACA field campaign in Fairbanks, we collected PM filters, extracted the filters into water, and exposed the extracts to simulated sunlight to characterize the production of three photooxidants: oxidizing triplet excited states of BrC, singlet molecular oxygen, and hydroxyl radical. Next, we used our measurements to model photooxidant production in highly concentrated aerosol liquid water. While conventional wisdom indicates photochemistry is limited during high-latitude winters, we find that BrC photochemistry is significant: we predict high triplet and singlet oxygen daytime particle concentrations up to 2x10-12 M and 3x10-11 M, respectively, with moderate hydroxyl radical concentrations up to 5x10-15 M. Although our modeling predicts triplets account for 0.4–10 % of daytime secondary sulfate formation, particle photochemistry cumulatively dominates, generating 76 % of daytime secondary sulfate formation largely due to in-particle hydrogen peroxide, which contributes 25–54 %. Finally, we estimate triplet production rates year-round revealing highest rates in late winter when Fairbanks experiences severe pollution and in summer when wildfires generate BrC.

Abstract. This study presents a data-driven reconstruction of daily runoff that covers the entirety of Switzerland over an extensive period from 1962 to 2023. To this end, we harness the capabilities of deep-learning-based models to learn complex runoff-generating processes directly from observations, thereby facilitating efficient large-scale simulation of runoff rates at ungauged locations. We test two sequential deep-learning architectures: a long short-term memory (LSTM) model, which is a recurrent neural network able to learn complex temporal features from sequences, and a convolution-based model, which learns temporal dependencies via 1D convolutions in the time domain. The models receive temperature, precipitation, and static catchment properties as input. By driving the resulting model with gridded temperature and precipitation data available since the 1960s, we provide a spatiotemporally continuous reconstruction of runoff. The efficacy of the developed model is thoroughly assessed through spatiotemporal cross-validation and compared against a distributed hydrological model used operationally in Switzerland. The developed data-driven model demonstrates not only competitive performance, but also notable improvements over traditional hydrological modeling in replicating daily runoff patterns, capturing interannual variability, and discerning long-term trends. The resulting long-term reconstruction of runoff is subsequently used to delineate substantial shifts in Swiss water resources throughout the past decades. These are characterized by an increased occurrence of dry years, contributing to a negative decadal trend in runoff, particularly during the summer months. These insights are pivotal for the understanding and management of water resources, particularly in the context of climate change and environmental conservation. The reconstruction product is made available online. Furthermore, the low data requirements and computational efficiency of our model pave the way for simulating diverse scenarios and conducting comprehensive climate attribution studies. This represents a substantial progression in the field, allowing for the analysis of thousands of scenarios in a time frame significantly shorter than those of traditional methods.
The influence of permafrost and other environmental factors on stream thermal sensitivity across Yukon, Canada
Authors: Szeitz Andras J. , Carey Sean K.
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Thermal sensitivity, defined as the slope of a linear regression between stream and air temperatures, is a useful indicator of the strength of coupling between meteorological forcings and stream temperature or, conversely, of the presence of non-atmospheric thermal influences such as groundwater contributions to streamflow. Furthermore, thermal sensitivity is known to be responsive to environmental change. This study expands the current state of knowledge of stream thermal sensitivity in cold northern regions across catchment scales, investigates the environmental controls of thermal sensitivity across a range of catchment dispositions, and assesses the thermal influence of environmental conditions unique to cold regions, namely permafrost. We conducted a linear regression analysis relating modelled mean daily air and stream temperatures in 57 catchments in Yukon, Canada, with catchment areas ranging from 5.4 to 86 500 km2 and with catchment mean permafrost probabilities ranging from 0.0 to 0.99. Thermal sensitivities obtained from the linear regressions ranged from 0.14 to 0.84 °C °C−1, with a median of 0.56 °C °C−1, and the regression intercepts ranged from −0.07 to 7.60 °C, with the mean regression Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency of 0.81. Thermal sensitivity was positively related to catchment area, land covers representing surface water storage, and streamflow flashiness or a lack of groundwater contributions. The greatest single environmental characteristic explaining the variance in thermal sensitivity was catchment topography (9 % variance explained); however, 39 % of the variance in thermal sensitivity was jointly explained by catchment physiography, land cover, and permafrost presence indicators, suggesting thermal sensitivity is the result of multiple interacting controls. The primary influence of permafrost on thermal sensitivity appeared to be indirect; permafrost controls on catchment properties affecting stream water residence time, subsurface water storage, and subsurface runoff processes provide separate and counteracting effects that are influencing thermal sensitivity.

Intelligence is a very comprehensive and complex structure. When learning is considered as a person's ability to overcome a problem and get used to this situation by reaching the next level, it can be concluded that intelligent people have better adaptability abilities and can learn more effectively in a shorter time. Learning is influenced by many factors such as an individual's interest, learning capacity, desire, learning style, environment and intelligence (Gülşen, 2019). Learning happens thanks to intelligence. For this reason, intelligence and learning are complementary concepts. Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, is the ability of human intelligence to make machines do skills such as making sense, inferring, reasoning, generalizing, learning from experiences. Artificial intelligence is the science of creating machines that resemble human intelligence. Artificial intelligence are useful systems created by taking inspiration from the brain. Although inspiration is taken from the brain for these systems, the biological suitability of the algorithms developed does not matter. According to the definition of the Ministry of National Education, artificial intelligence is explained as the ability of a human-guided machine to perform some human-specific skills. Artificial intelligence systems are systems that learn from their surroundings. These systems constitute a complex field that is related to many disciplines. When considered in this context, support software with artificial intelligence content is currently used in many areas from health to entertainment. Although information technologies have become a part of our lives, although most of the people on Earth have not technically met computers yet, the interaction rates of computers with people are quite high, and it is known that there is a large pool of information about people that appears in the digital environment. Thanks to this pool of human experiences, the way for machines to participate in the learning process has been paved. Artificial intelligence, which is an indispensable part of our daily life,; in our schools, it is necessary to make it the subject of education, not only as a source of assistance to education. It is noteworthy that the methods used in this process and the increasing quality and quantity of the studies carried out at the point of necessary resources are increasing day by day in terms of showing the importance given to the subject with full clarity.

Gry cyfrowe a katechetyczny przekaz o grzechach głównych
Authors: Rayzacher-Majewska Aneta
Published: February 2025

Digital reality translates into various areas of life. This also applies to digital games and their connection with moral formation. This obliges to address the issue of digital games in the catechetical message about the deadly sins in order to make the catechized aware of the dangers associated with improper functioning in the virtual world. School religious education at every stage of education provides for addressing issues related to the deadly sins. They should be discussed in the context of students’ real life situations, which makes it justified to expand the content with digital games and morally inappropriate behaviours related to them. Religious education and the catechetical message about the deadly sins are also the right place to expand knowledge and shape awareness of how pride, greed, impurity, envy, intemperance in eating and drinking, anger or laziness threaten children and young people who use digital games.

Video games are an interesting field of study when it comes to religion. In this paper I tried to select and present few examples of religious institutions shown in this medium with short analysis of their role in the games narrative. This study is of course in no way a complete research regarding such presentations, but in an interesting way it shows us how the view on organised religion is created and maintained in interactive, audiovisual media. As the quickest developing narrative medium, video games are therefore furthest reaching one, when it comes to creating the cultural picture easily readable for contemporary viewers.

Pop-anioły: analiza przedstawienia postaci anielskich w uniwersum gier Diablo
Authors: Kot Mateusz
Published: February 2025

The portrayal of angels, as well as angelology itself, is an exceptionally broad subject, encompassing not only visual and literary representations of these beings but also tying into the currents of Christian philosophy and theology. Angels have been the subject of intellectual inquiry rooted in metaphysical foundations, as exemplified by the works of thinkers such as St Bonaventure and St Thomas Aquinas However, within the realm of art, it was necessary to find a means of capturing the ambiguous nature of angels—spiritual beings that are genderless, neither human nor divine. Consequently, as early as the 4th century, the concept of a winged figure symbolizing their spiritual essence emerged, a visualization that remains commonly employed to this day.At present, one can observe highly diverse and complex representations of angels in various forms of popular culture, including in the domain of pop culture. As noted by J. Majewski and M. Kokoszczyńska, the presence of religion in pop culture should not be viewed solely as a negative phenomenon but rather as a potential area of symbiosis, including within the context of media. Given the diversity of angelic representations, shaped by the intentions of creators and the specific nature of various media, this study narrows its focus to the digital game series set within the Diablo universe. The research analyses audiovisual materials originating from the Diablo series and its available downloadable content (DLC), with a particular emphasis on the depiction of angels.The choice of this topic is justified by the academic significance of studying this type of game within the context of contemporary media, as evidenced by existing scholarly literature. Observations made during the study enabled the findings to be compared against representations in other digital games that address similar themes.

(Jezus dla każdego nie tylko chrześcijan) pierwotnie nosiła tytuł: Jezus dla ateistów. Autorka przyznaje, że był on bardziej atrakcyjny ze względów marketingowych, choć nie do końca trafny.Historyczny Jezus, wyjaśnia Levine, przemawia do tych, którzy są religijni, ale nie są chrześcijanami, do tych, którzy nie są religijni, ale głęboko traktują sprawy ducha, do tych, którzy zostali zranieni przez Kościół i opuścili go, i do tych chrześcijan, którzy pozostali w owczarni. Umieszczając Jezusa z Nazaretu w kontekście historycznym, Levine przedstawia Go w całej pełni i zaprasza wszystkich, od wiernych chrześcijan po agnostyków i niewierzących, aby docenili Jego trwały wpływ na współczesny świat.

Religijna kreacja świata w serii gier Diablo i jej przekładzie
Authors: Nawrocka Ewa
Published: February 2025

The games of the Diablo series, which have enjoyed cult status for more than two decades, clearly draw inspiration from religion, especially Christianity. The religious creation of the world can be observed on various levels: visual, storyline and language. On the visual level, the games are inspired by church architecture, as well as depictions of angels and demons as well as heaven and hell. At the story level, the games build their mythology by alluding to the Manichean eternal conflict between good and evil. On the linguistic level, on the other hand, the games refer to religion using symbols, metaphors and religious terms. An analysis of these phenomena allows to conclude that religious motifs constituting the axis of the entire Diablo universe have largely contributed to the popularity of the series.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) causes insulin resistance and can lead to complications like Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), affecting vision. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) enables early detection. Objective: The study aimed to compare neuroretinal alterations between patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) without evidence of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) and a healthy control group. Methodology:  The study included 220 eyes from 110 patients with T2DM without DR and 220 eyes from 110 healthy controls. Detailed interviews, comprehensive ophthalmologic evaluations, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) were used to measure the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL). Results: Patients with T2DM showed significant thinning of the RNFL and GC-IPL compared to healthy controls. The average RNFL thickness in T2DM patients was 92.89 ± 7.87 µm, while in controls it was 97.28 ± 11.1 µm (p < 0.001). The GC-IPL thickness in T2DM patients was 80.03 ± 3.58 µm, compared to 81.09 ± 4.09 µm in controls (p < 0.001). Conclusion: There are significant differences in retinal layers between patients with T2DM without evidence of DR and healthy controls. These findings highlight the importance of early and continuous retinal monitoring in T2DM patients to prevent the progression of DR.
Contexto, emociones y creencias de autoeficacia de futuros profesores de inglés

Se presentan los resultados de una investigación cualitativa que buscó responder la pregunta ¿qué papel juegan las características contextuales y las emociones de los estudiantes durante el trayecto escolar primaria-preparatoria en sus creencias de autoeficacia para expresarse en inglés? Se sustenta desde la teoría de la autoeficacia de Bandura (1997). Se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad y líneas del tiempo como instrumentos de recolección de datos. Los participantes fueron cuatro estudiantes de una licenciatura en Inglés. Se encontró que las características contextuales juegan un papel determinante en el tipo de enseñanza del inglés que reciben los estudiantes y, por ende, en el tipo de emociones que experimentan. Los estudiantes cuya única fuente de aprendizaje fue la escuela pública no contaron, salvo algunos casos excepcionales, con una enseñanza del inglés apropiada y motivante; por ende, sus emociones fueron en general negativas y sus creencias de autoeficacia bajas. Contrario a los estudiantes que, adicionalmente al inglés recibido en la escuela pública, tomaron clases en escuelas privadas o con un tutor personal, recibieron una enseñanza motivante y que fomentaba la expresión oral en inglés. En consecuencia, la mayoría de sus emociones fueron positivas y sus creencias de autoeficacia resultaron altas. Estos resultados coinciden con los de Sansores (2018) y Villanueva (2015) hallados, también, en contexto mexicano

La Educación para la Salud (EPS) desempeña un papel fundamental en la promoción y prevención de enfermedades, así como en el fomento de estilos de vida saludables en la población. En este contexto, el estudiantado de la Licenciatura en Enfermería asume la responsabilidad para brindar intervenciones educativas efectivas como parte de su formación académica y práctica comunitaria. En este trabajo de corte cualitativo desde la investigación acción, se realizó un diagnóstico con el objetivo de identificar en una población de 28 estudiantes, la planeación, las habilidades procedimentales, comunicativas y afectivas, así como el uso de estrategias de enseñanza en las intervenciones educativas para la salud que implementan en el ámbito comunitario para la realización de alternativas en la mejora de los procesos educativos para la salud. Se encontró que no poseen los conocimientos necesarios para planificar de forma adecuada. Hay una evidente falta de habilidades y no usan estrategias de enseñanza en las intervenciones educativas, lo cual limita su efectividad y calidad de la educación brindada. A partir de los resultados se puede concluir que hay una carencia de planeación didáctica, disminución de habilidades y la escasa utilización de estrategias de enseñanza en las intervenciones educativas de los estudiantes de Enfermería sobre la EPS. Es una problemática emergente y, por lo tanto, es necesario fortalecer la formación para asegurar el diseño de intervenciones educativas efectivas y adaptadas a las necesidades de la población.
La internacionalización del currículo y la práctica docente: un reto para el docente en el fomento de la competencia intercultural
Authors: Cuevas Álvarez María Cruz , Pérez Mendoza Marcos
Published: February 2025

La internacionalización de las instituciones de educación superior ha llevado a confundir al docente y a su práctica, con respecto al desarrollo de la competencia intercultural. La característica primordial depende del contexto en el que se encuentre inmerso. Si bien el idioma o lengua que se hable en ese entorno es el medio de comunicación, no es la única forma de interactuar. Intervienen otros aspectos, tales como la idiosincrasia, las costumbres o las prácticas culturales de las personas del lugar. Sin embargo, cuando el docente busca la apropiación de las habilidades instruidas, se encuentra con desconfianza o resistencia por parte del grupo en cuestión, lo cual obstaculiza el fomento y el desarrollo de la competencia intercultural. Este trabajo etnográfico se realizó por medio de la técnica de observación participante de tipo moderada, con un grupo de profesores de una comunidad indígena en Tabasco. El objetivo fue caracterizar el rol del docente en el fomento de la competencia intercultural, desde la mirada de la internacionalización del currículum; dicho rol debe ser activo, propositivo, guía y motivador para que los estudiantes de un grupo acepten las actividades propuestas para el fomento de la competencia intercultural. Si el docente no se ve aceptado por el grupo, no es integrado y las estrategias que se propongan serán cuestionadas y rechazadas. Se concluye que la empatía mostrada por parte del docente fue la clave para la aceptación por parte del grupo y, posteriormente, cualquier iniciativa o estrategia implementada para el fomento de la competencia intercultural.

Ante el problema de acceso a servicios de salud, la población debe recibir alternativas que les permita atender los malestares desde una atención básica. Así, el proyecto “Caravanas ‘La salud toca a tu puerta’” se convirtió en una opción para trasladar servicios a comunidades como Cucuyulapa, Cunduacán y villa Tamulté de las Sabanas, Tocoal, La Loma, Chilapa, La Estancia, Jolochero 1ª sección, Buenavista 1ª y 2ª Secciones, en Centro, Tabasco con miras a identificar, en cada hogar, a personas con algún padecimiento común y ser atendidas bajo el sistema de salud tradicional y alternativo con el que se forma a estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Salud Intercultural. Así, entre 2022 y 2023 se integraron equipos de salud itinerantes que promocionaron el uso de la medicina tradicional mexicana y china, combinada con la medicina alópata, como forma de atender los malestares. Se atendieron a 498 pacientes de nueve localidades, donde resultaron más comunes enfermedades como la diabetes mellitus, hipertensión arterial y problemas respiratorios. Queda claro que ofrecer un tratamiento integrado con los tres tipos de medicinas garantiza eficacia en el combate de las enfermedades patológicas de este sector de la población.
La oralidad: patrimonio biocultural de los zoques de Guadalupe Victoria, municipio de Chapultenango, Chiapas, México
Authors: Jiménez Estrada Martha Yadira
Published: February 2025

La oralidad facilita la transmisión de saberes y elementos culturales como forma de adquisición de costumbres, creencias e historias propias y/o comunitarias. Para los zoques, los mitos, los cuentos y las anécdotas son relatos de hechos reales ocurridos en el tiempo primordial, es decir, desde el origen de los mundos. Así, se diseñó una propuesta para promover la preservación de las tradiciones orales de la comunidad zoque, las enseñanzas de nuestros abuelos y, también, fomentar el desarrollo de materiales audiovisuales para documentar, preservar e incorporar la enseñanza de las tradiciones orales en el contexto de la educación obligatoria para niños de 6 a 10 años. De esta manera, se encontraron cuentos que están vinculados con la religión; otros, reflexivos con la naturaleza y con el entorno. La oralidad ha cobrado importancia y valor por las explicaciones que ofrece sobre el origen de los orepäntam (los zoques). Dentro de la oralidad, los ancianos se toman el tiempo de involucrar a los oyentes y discutir las enseñanzas de las historias que proporcionan conocimientos útiles, por ejemplo, para el desarrollo de habilidades para sobrevivir en el bosque. Para los pueblos originarios, la lengua materna es nuestro corazón y la voz es nuestro propio pensamiento, y a través de ella podemos contar nuestras vivencias, nuestro musokuy (conocimiento).

This study looked into and provided insights into the procedures and guidelines commercial banks in Bauchi's metropolitan area use to select environmental CSR initiatives by exploring the preferences of commercial banks in Bauchi Metropolis regarding environmental Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, an area underrepresented in Nigerian CSR activities compared to health and education. Staff members from 18 commercial banks (representing 28 branches) were given a standardized questionnaire. Responses on the choice, prioritization, and execution of CSR projects were examined using descriptive and inferential methods, such as ANOVA. Of the 180 responders in the sample, 39.4% were women and 60.6% were men. 60.6% of participants had more than ten years of experience, and the majority (61.1%) had a university degree. ANOVA results revealed statistically significant preferences for project types, with the highest prioritizing going to waste management (p < 0.05) and public sanitation (p < 0.05), suggesting a common understanding of the city's environmental degradation. Green spaces and landscape beautification initiatives, however, were given less priority, indicating a preference for initiatives deemed more urgent or useful. The study found that although commercial banks in Bauchi are becoming more involved in environmental corporate social responsibility (CSR), the scope of these programs is narrow, prioritizing short-term, noticeable effects over long-term sustainability activities. To enhance urban aesthetics and encourage environmental stewardship, it was suggested that commercial banks broaden their CSR offerings to incorporate green infrastructure, such as urban beautification. Barriers to promoting green initiatives and tactics to promote wider environmental involvement in commercial banks' CSR efforts should be the subject of future research.
