Multifaceted Equity: Critiquing a First-Year Writing Assessment through Curricular, Performance, and Reliability Lenses
Authors: Prebel Julie , Li Justin
Published: December 2024

This article examines whether a college’s new portfolio-based first-year writing assessment process is equitable. We build on the existing literature by arguing that equity must be assessed through multiple, complementary facets within the writing assessment ecology. We present and operationalize three lenses through which to examine the equity of a first-year writing assessment process. The curricular lens shows that the new writing assessment is more aligned with and improved the classroom pedagogy of our first-year seminars. The performance lens shows the ongoing disparities between students across demographic backgrounds. Finally, the reliability lens reveals faculty differences in how they interpret the writing rubric. We conclude that while the new portfolio-based writing assessment is more equitable, it is also constrained by institutional structures and systems of power that prevent it from being equitable, period.

Authors: Whithaus Carl
Published: December 2024

JWA 17.2 features five articles that explore these evolving practices and critical questions around fairness and equity. Daniel Gross (2024) examines the implications of construct validity in the discontinuation of the Analytical Writing Placement Examination (AWPE) at the University of California. Julia Voss, Loring Pfeiffer, and Nicole Branch (2024) share how they used interviews from programmatic assessment to understand student learning outcomes in ways that value minoritized students’ experiential knowledge. Edward Comstock (2024) investigates the interplay between self-efficacy and programmatic assessment, emphasizing the value of qualitative methods in evaluating writing programs. Sarah Hirsch, Kenneth Smith, and Madeleine Sorapure (2024) present on Collaborative Writing Placement (CWP). Julie Prebel and Justin Li (2024) critique of a first-year writing portfolio assessment through lenses of equity, curricular design, performance, and reliability.
Assessment is Constructed and Contextual: Identity, Information Literacy, and Interview-Based Methodologies in the First-Year Writing Classroom
Authors: Voss Julia , Branch Nicole , Pfeiffer Loring
Published: December 2024

Over the past twenty years,the field of writing assessment has moved from critical theories that questiontraditional models of validity and objectivity (Huot, 2002; Lynne, 2004) toscholarship that exposes how traditional assessment perpetuates inequality(Inoue 2015, 2019) and advocates new approaches that take social justice astheir central goal (Poe, et. al., 2018). We report on a collaboration betweentwo writing instructors and one librarian that assessed first-year writing(FYW) students' information literacy when researching and writing with popularnews sources. In addition to the typical practice of analyzing students'written work, this project used interviews as an assessment methodology. Thisresearch produced three important findings: 1) minoritized studentsdemonstrated superior critical information literacy skills compared tomajoritized students; 2) these differences were made visible through the use ofmultiple measures (written artifacts and interviews); and 3) the use ofinterviews is an assessment methodology that invites students to engage incounterstory and draw on personal experiences, revealing new sources ofknowledge and countering narratives of deficit. Ultimately, we argue thatinterviews hold promise for antiracist revamping of student learning outcomesas well as assessment practices.

Authors: Hendini Ade
Published: December 2024

Dengan jumlah siswa yang cukup banyak, tentunya proses untuk mendapatkan nilai akhir siswa menjelang pembagian rapor oleh seorang Guru Pengampu Mata Pelajaran membutuhkan waktu yang cukup panjang. Hal ini menjadikan Guru Wali Kelas harus menunggu pengiriman data nilai dari semua Guru Pengampu Mata Pelajaran terlebih dahulu, baru kemudian dapat melakukan proses input nilai ke dalam masing-masing rapor siswa. Jika Guru Pengampu Mata Pelajaran memberikan data nilai di waktu yang telah mendesak, pengisian rapor oleh Guru Wali Kelas pun menjadi terdesak pula yang memungkinkan terjadinya kekeliruan dan menyebabkan terbatasnya waktu pencetakan rapor. Sistem informasi rapor online berbasis website menggunakan metode Waterfall memungkinkan akses penginputan nilai yang terintegrasi antara Guru Pengampu Mata Pelajaran dan Wali Kelas dimana nilai siswa dihitung dan diproses oleh sistem sehingga didapat hasil akhir berupa rapor siswa yang siap dicetak. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode Waterfall. Dengan menggunakan sistem informasi rapor online ini dapat membuat penyajian nilai Rapor Siswa menjadi lebih cepat dan penghitungan nilai yang lebih akurat. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa sistem informasi rapor online dapat mengurangi resiko kesalahan penghitungan yang dilakukan secara  konvensional
O comportamento dos clíticos no jornal Diario de Pernambuco do século XIX ao século XXI
Authors: Arruda Eronildo dos Santos
Published: December 2024

O Português Brasileiro apresenta diferenças em relação à gramática do Português Europeu em alguns aspectos, dentre eles, a colocação dos pronomes clíticos – ou pronomes pessoais oblíquos átonos, conforme os manuais de gramática normativa. Tendo em vista esse fenômeno, esta pesquisa visa analisar o comportamento dos clíticos em dados da língua escrita em textos jornalísticos do português de Pernambuco, tomando por base Cartas do Leitor e Editoriais publicados no Diario de Pernambuco entre os anos de 1830 e 2020. Para tanto, o corpus é composto de 80 textos, sendo 40 do gênero Carta do Leitor e 40 do gênero Editorial, a fim de verificar a ocorrência dos pronomes clíticos diacronicamente na língua. Adotou-se o método hipotético-dedutivo como método de abordagem e, como métodos de procedimento, o comparativo e o estatístico. Durante a análise dos dados, levou-se em consideração o modelo de Princípios e Parâmetros (Chomsky, 1981), tendo como enfoque a perspectiva da mudança paramétrica, seguindo a perspectiva de investigação de Cyrino (2018) e de Pagotto (2018). Na primeira parte, o trabalho descreve a ordem dos clíticos pronominais como um todo; na segunda parte, enfoca-se o desaparecimento dos clíticos de terceira pessoa. Como resultado, constatou-se maior ocorrência da próclise em relação à ênclise em ambos os gêneros textuais analisados entre a primeira metade do século XIX até o século XXI; quantitativo maior de próclise e redução acentuada de clíticos de 3ª pessoa a partir da segunda metade do século XIX, principalmente, nas Cartas do Leitor.

Revelatory Gospel Power for Final Salvation: Another Look at the Logic of Romans 1:15–17
Authors: Kirk Alexander Noyes
Published: December 2024

Romans 1:16–17 is often considered the thesis statement of Paul’s letter to the Romans. Most commentators tend to read later developments in Paul’s argument back into these two compact verses, whether to support the view that these verses articulate Paul’s doctrine of justification in a nutshell or the view that these verses foreshadow Paul’s “Christocentric” presentation of faith(fulness) in Rom 3:21–26. This article, however, seeks to interpret Rom 1:16–17 by focusing on the logical structure of 1:15–17, including Paul’s triple use of the conjunction γάρ. On this basis it is argued that Paul is eager to preach the gospel to those who have already believed in it because the gospel is God’s power for final (not initial) salvation. The gospel has ongoing power in the lives of believers because it sustains their faith by revealing God’s true, righteous character. Paul’s citation of Hab 2:4 is discussed within the flow of Paul’s argument and then the article concludes with some practical conclusions about how Christians can recapture the gospel’s power for their daily lives.
How corporate financial policies response to activist managers: evidence from Iraq
Authors: Mohammed Imad Abdul Aziz Mahdi  , Dr, Raghed Haqi Khaleel  , Zahraa Naser Ali
Published: December 2024

This paper investigates whether the presence of activist managers in publicly traded firms affects financial policies. Our results show that activist managers increase managers’ strategic planning and corporate efficiency, confirming the notion that managerial-owned firms are more efficient than other counterparts. We find that the presence of activist managers increases their capital expenditure and has a positive effect on firm dividend payments. This efficiency leads ultimately to an increase in firm performance. Our results have important implications for investors and policy makers in Iraq and other under-developed markets where managers’ investors usually have substantial equity stakes in public firms.

The origin of the icon of the Mother of God of Tenderness of the second quarter of the 13th century and the history of its existence in Belozersk
Authors:   State Russian Museum, Shalina I.A.
Published: December 2024

The large icon of the Mother of God of Tenderness, taken to the State Russian Museum in 1931 from the iconostasis of the Transfiguration Cathedral in Belozersk, was recorded there in descriptions of local historical sources at the beginning of the 17th century, and judging by them, was a honor city image. There was no doubt about its original from this northern center, which largely determined the prevailing opinion about the nature of the artistic style of the work. Belozersk has long belonged to the Rostov princes, and in 1238 it became a separate principality, becoming the inheritance of the younger prince Gleb Vasilkovich (1237–1279). The appearance of a monumental image of the Mother of God here was associated with this event. However, the work, as a thorough study of the painting shows, belongs to the work of a Novgorod master, which significantly changes existing ideas. In our opinion, the image of the Mother of God of Tenderness of the second quarter of the 13th century, as well as a slightly earlier image of the apostles Peter and Paul (State Russian Museum), ended up in Belozersk only at the end of the 15th century, and in ancient times they were painted for one of the large Novgorod churches.

The Shroud depicting the Entombment from the sacristy of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery (1598): The contribution of Prince Ivan Golitsyn in light of onomastic data
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Litvina A.F. , Uspenskij F.B. ,   Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2024

The paper discusses the connection between the images of saints on the shroud depicting the Entombment from the Trinity-Sergius Monastery and the family name list of the contributor, Prince Ivan Ivanovich Golitsyn († 1607). This example of pictorial embroidery is considered in the general perspective of secular and monastic naming of the 16th century. Knowledge of the baptismal names of the prince himself and his relatives helps explain the appearance of St. Moses, St. Stephanida, and St. Euphrosyne in the central field of the shroud.

The aim of this contribution is to review the design and realization phases of the literary walk La battuta di caccia a Monte Mei: tra cascate, boschi e assaggi di miniera sulle tracce di Angelo Uras, developed by Maria Carmela Aru, Cosimo Frigau and the author of this essay during the summer of 2021 and inaugurated during the 36th edition of the Giuseppe Dessì Literary Prize (Villacidro, Sardinia). Based on an analysis of the research carried out in the village and the literary animation that followed, the aim is to demonstrate the analytical validity and the applicative potential of literary action-research (particularly within material ecocriticism) in a regional and peri-urban promotional context, within the broad methodological and operational horizon of parks and literary walks. Our aim is to examine the recreative and socio-territorial function of an eco-centric promotion of literature, in order to reactivate conscious ways of experiencing and re-appropriating the text with a communitarian intention, through the prism of an ecological discourse close to the narrations of the habitat.
Navigating Geopolitical Shocks: Comparative Strategies of the Visegrád 4 and Indonesia in Global Value Chains
Authors: Šebeňa Martin
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the influence of geopolitical events on global value chains, particularly focusing on the Visegrád 4 countries (Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) and Indonesia. The objective is to analyse how these semi-peripheral nations, which are more susceptible to geopolitical shocks, navigate their vulnerabilities and policy options. The methodology includes a comparative analysis of two case studies: the effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on commodity value chains and the implications of the rise of electromobility. Major findings reveal both similarities and differences in the economic structures and policy responses of the V4 countries and Indonesia, highlighting their approaches to decoupling and derisking. Despite facing similar problems in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the V4 countries pursued decoupling while Indonesia attempted to reverse the decoupling trends. Both regions attempt to benefit from the rise of electromobility by encouraging reshoring into their jurisdictions, although the tools they use vary due to differences in the underlying economic thought. In conclusion, the paper emphasises the importance of understanding how semi-peripheral countries can strategically leverage their positions in response to the intricate geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges that shape global value chains.

POSITIVISME: KONSEP, PERKEMBANGAN, DAN IMPLEMENTASI DALAM KAJIAN ILMU PENGETAHUAN DAN HUKUM
Authors: HABIBANI RHAYSYA ADMMI , FATIMAH SITI
Published: December 2024

Positivism is a school of philosophy that emphasizes the importance of empirical observation and logic in developing knowledge. In science, positivism is the basis for the development of objective and measurable scientific methods. In law, positivism provides a foundation for understanding law as a system of rules originating from authorized authorities, without involving moral considerations or social values. This article examines the concept of positivism, its historical development, and its implementation in science and law. By conducting a critical analysis of positivist ideas, theoretical foundations, and their application in science and law, it can be concluded that positivism is still relevant as one of the main approaches in science. However, in science, an integrative approach that considers humanistic and multidisciplinary aspects can enrich the positivist method. However, in law, a method that combines moral principles and locality can improve the ability of law to meet the demands of a changing society. Thus, positivism is not the end of the search for knowledge and justice; it is a foundation that continues to develop in discussions with other approaches. Because of this flexibility, positivism is still relevant amidst the challenges and changes of an increasingly complex era.
ABSTRAKPositivisme merupakan aliran filsafat yang menekankan pentingnya pengamatan empiris dan logika dalam mengembangkan pengetahuan. Dalam ilmu pengetahuan, positivisme menjadi dasar bagi pengembangan metode ilmiah yang objektif dan terukur. Dalam hukum, positivisme memberikan landasan untuk memahami hukum sebagai sistem aturan yang berasal dari otoritas berwenang, tanpa melibatkan pertimbangan moral atau nilai sosial. Artikel ini mengkaji konsep positivisme, sejarah perkembangannya, serta implementasinya dalam ilmu pengetahuan dan hukum. Dengan melakukan analisis kritis terhadap ide-ide positivis, landasan teoritis, dan penerapannya dalam ilmu pengetahuan dan hukum, dapat disimpulkan bahwa positivisme masih relevan sebagai salah satu pendekatan utama dalam ilmu pengetahuan. Namun, dalam ilmu pengetahuan, pendekatan integratif yang mempertimbangkan aspek humanistik dan multidisipliner dapat memperkaya metode positivis. Namun, dalam bidang hukum, metode yang menggabungkan prinsip-prinsip moral dan lokalitas dapat meningkatkan kemampuan hukum untuk memenuhi tuntutan masyarakat yang terus berubah. Dengan demikian, positivisme bukan akhir dari pencarian pengetahuan dan keadilan; itu adalah pijakan yang terus berkembang dalam diskusi dengan pendekatan lain. Karena fleksibilitas ini, positivisme masih relevan di tengah tantangan dan perubahan zaman yang semakin kompleks.

Authors: Kozybayeva F. E. , Dimeeva L. A. , Beiseeva G. B. , Toktar M.
Published: December 2024

In the process of the study the general soil-ecological disturbances of the soil cover, i.e. anthropogenic, pasture digression, degradation, erosion processes were revealed. There is an intensified grazing of cattle, which significantly affects soil properties, first of all, physical ones. An indispensable consequence of overgrazing is soil compaction. The condition of soil and vegetation cover in pastures is the main factor of ecosystem stability. Excessive load on pastures leads to violation of integrity of ecosystem functioning and development of pasture digression. The elements of grazing regulation are the correspondence of the number of animals to the grazing area, pasture productivity and general control over the state of the natural environment.  Compliance with the above requirements can be a guarantee of sustainable development of the ecosystem and preservation of rare plant species. Soil-ecological conditions of growing of endangered species of tulips Regel, Albert and Kolpakovsky were investigated on the territory of Zhambyl district of Almaty region.

Mineral nutrition optimization for apple trees by fertigation to enhance productivity and fruit quality in intensive orchards of southern Kazakhstan
Authors: Zhandybayev O. , Amirov B. , Malimbayeva A. , Bamatov I.
Published: December 2024

In response to Kazakhstan's priority of enhancing food security and reducing fruit imports, this study investigates the efficacy of different fertilization methods on the yield, fruit quality, and economic performance of intensive apple orchards. Given the increasing area of apple cultivation in Kazakhstan, optimizing fertilization practices is crucial for maximizing production and ensuring sustainability.: The study aims to evaluate the impact of three fertilization methods- existing technology without NPK, NPK incorporation into the soil, and fertigation-on the yield and quality of Geromini apple trees grown on dwarf M9 rootstocks. The research also assesses the economic efficiency of each method. Conducted from 2019 to 2022 in Turkestan, Kazakhstan, the study employed a randomized block design with four replications for each fertilization Treatment. Key parameters measured included fruit yield, quality (sugar content, dry matter, firmness), macroelement uptake (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), and economic metrics. Fertigation emerged as the most effective method, resulting in the highest average gross yield (30.6 t/ha), marketable yield (28.7 t/ha), and fruit quality metrics, including sugar content (24.1%) and average fruit weight. Fertigation also demonstrated superior macroelement uptake, with the highest levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Economically, fertigation proved to be the most cost-effective method, providing a favorable return on investment compared to soil incorporation and traditional fertilization methods. The study concludes that fertigation significantly enhances both the yield and quality of apples while optimizing economic returns. This method’s efficiency in nutrient delivery and uptake positions it as the most advantageous practice for intensive apple orchards. Further research is recommended to refine fertigation techniques and explore sustainable practices for long-term orchard productivity.

“Amazônia Urgente!”:
Authors: Freire de Castro França Bianca Luiza
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo homenagear a antropóloga Berta Gleizer Ribeiro, no seu centenário em 2024. Para além da homenagem, visa a partir da análise da obra Amazônia Urgente: cinco séculos de História e Ecologia (exposição e livro) motivar a reflexão pública a partir do diálogo com a proposta de Berta Ribeiro do uso social da tecnologia indígena, para aventar alternativas de manejo autossustentável para a Amazônia através dos Etnosaberes de seus povos tradicionais e originários. O trabalho conclui que será pela adoção dos saberes indígenas para o convívio com o meio-ambiente de forma amigável que iremos evitar o que chamamos de “Queda do Céu”, inspirados pela obra do antropólogo francês Bruce Albert e do pajé Yanomami Davi Kopenawa.
Cloud drop activation of insoluble aerosols aided by film-forming surfactants
Authors: Laaksonen Ari
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Cloud droplet activation of insoluble aerosols covered by insoluble surfactant films has been studied theoretically by combining the FHH (Frenkel–Halsey–Hill) activation theory and an equation of state suitable for surfactant films that are in an expanded state. The key parameters governing the ability of the surfactant to suppress critical supersaturations are its partial molecular area at the water surface and the size of the molecule. For a fixed size, molecules with a larger molecular area are more efficient, whereas with a fixed area-to-volume ratio smaller molecules are more efficient. Calculations made for stearic acid films on black carbon and illite aerosols indicate that the critical supersaturations are significantly lower than with pure particles, especially when the dry particle sizes are several hundred nanometers and larger. Furthermore, the reductions in critical supersaturation are similar when stearic acid is replaced by water-soluble organics with values of the hygroscopicity parameter (κ) of up to 0.5. However, mixtures of surfactant and water-soluble organic compounds are relatively weaker at reducing critical supersaturations than either of these compounds alone, which is caused by dilution of the surfactant film as the dissolved organic causes increased uptake of water vapor in the critical droplets. The theory has also been tested against experimental results on the impact of oleic acid films on the activation of calcite particles.
Brief communication: velocities and thinning rates for Halfar’s analytical solution to the Shallow Ice Approximation
Authors: Berends Constantijn J.
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Analytical solutions to approximations of the Stokes equations are invaluable tools for verifying numerical ice-sheet models. Halfar (1981) derived a time-dependent solution to the Shallow Ice Approximation (SIA). Here, I derive the associated ice velocity vector field, and the resulting thinning rates, which may serve as additional checks for numerical ice-sheet models.

Abstract. This study presents aerosol iron isotopic compositions (δ56Fe) in Western and Central Equatorial and Tropical Pacific Ocean. Aerosols supply iron (Fe), a critical element for marine primary production, to the open ocean. Particulate aerosols, > 1 µm, were sampled during EUCFe cruise (RV Kilo Moana, PI: J. W. Murray, 2006). One aerosol sample was isotopically lighter than the crust (δ56Fe=-0.16 ± 0.07 ‰, 95 % confidence interval), possibly originating from combustion processes. The nine other aerosol samples were isotopically heavier than the crust, with a rather homogeneous signature of 0.31 ± 0.21 ‰ (2SD, n=9). Given i) this homogeneity compared to the diversity of their modeled geographic origin and ii) the values of the Fe/Ti ratios used as a lithogenic tracer, we suggest that these heavy δ56Fe signatures reflect isotopic fractionation of crustal aerosols caused by atmospheric processes. Using a fractionation factor of Δsolution - particle=-1.1 ‰, a partial dissolution of ≈20 % of the initial aerosol iron content, followed by the removal of this dissolved fraction, would explain the observed slightly heavy Fe isotope signatures. Such fractionation has been observed previously in laboratory experiments, but never before in a natural environment. The removal of the dissolved fraction of the aerosols has not been previously documented either. This work illustrates the strong constrains provided by the use of iron isotopes for atmospheric process studies.

Abstract. The interaction with freezing processes and vertical transport of trace gases into the upper atmosphere during deep convection is critical to understanding the distribution of aerosol precursors and their climate effects. We conducted experimental studies inside a walk-in cold room for freely levitating rain drops (D = 2 mm) using an acoustic levitator apparatus. We investigated the effect of freezing raindrops on the retention of organic species for the first time with silver iodide as the ice nucleating agent. Quantitative chemical analysis determined the retention coefficient, which is defined as the fraction of a chemical species remaining in the ice phase compared to their initial liquid phase concentrations. We measured the retention coefficients of nitric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, and 2-nitrophenol as single components. Furthermore, we determined the retention coefficients of these substances as binary mixtures. Our results show the dominance of physical properties over their chemical counterparts on overall retention for the investigated large drops. Thus, for rain sized drops almost everything is fully retained during the freezing process, even for species with low effective Henry’s law constants. An ice shell is formed within 4.8 ms around the drops just after the freezing was initiated. This ice shell formation was found to be the controlling factor for the overall retention of the investigated species, which inhibited any further expulsion of dissolved substances from the drop.

Abstract. This paper presents the quantitative imaging datasets collected during the Tara Pacific Expedition (2016–2018) on the schooner Tara. The datasets cover a wide range of plankton sizes, from micro-phytoplankton > 20 μm to meso-zooplankton of a few cm, as well as non-living particles such as plastic and detrital particles. It consists of surface samples collected across the North and South Pacific Ocean from open ocean stations (a total of 357 samples) and from stations located in coastal waters, lagoons or reefs of 32 Pacific islands (a total of 228 samples). As this expedition involved long distances and long sailing times, we designed two sampling systems to collect plankton while sailing at speeds up to 9 knots. To sample microplankton, surface water was pumped onboard using a customised pumping system and filtered through a 20 µm mesh size plankton net (here after Deck-Net (DN). A High Speed Net (HSN; 330 μm mesh size) was developed to sample the mesoplankton. In addition, a Manta net (330 µm) was also used when possible, to collect mesoplankton and plastics simultaneously. We could not deploy these nets in reef and lagoon stations of islands. Instead, two Bongo nets (20 µm) attached to an underwater scooter were used to sample microplankton. Microplankton (20–200 μm) from the DN and Bongo nets was imaged directly on-board Tara using the FlowCam (Fluid imaging, Inc.) while the mesoplankton (> 200 μm) from the HSN and Manta nets was analyzed in the laboratory with the ZooScan system. Organisms and other particles were taxonomically and morphologically classified using the web application EcoTaxa automatic sorting tools, followed by taxonomic expert validation or correction. More than 300 different taxonomic and morphological groups were identified. The datasets include the metadata with the raw data from which morphological traits such as size (ESD) and biovolume have been calculated for each particle, as well as a number of quantitative descriptors of the surface plankton communities. These include abundance, biovolumes, Shannon diversity index and normalised biovolume size spectra, allowing the study of their structures (e.g. taxonomic, functional, size structure, trophic structure, etc.) according to a wide range of environmental parameters at the basin scale. In addition to describing and presenting the datasets, the complementary aim of this paper is to investigate and quantify the potential sampling biases associated with the two high speed sampling systems and the different net types, in order to improve further ecological interpretations.

Abstract. The continued expansion of offshore wind energy raises concerns regarding the microplastics released from wind turbine blades due to leading edge erosion. Currently, the literature lacks reliable and transparent estimates of microplastic formation and emissions from wind turbines. To bridge this knowledge gap, we employed state-of-the-art models to analytically evaluate the release of microplastics resulting from wind turbine blades' leading edge erosion. This was achieved by integrating measured offshore weather data with a fatigue-based erosion model. We then applied and extrapolated this methodology to estimate microplastics emissions from all offshore wind turbines installed in the Dutch North Sea and compared these estimates to other sources of microplastics in The Netherlands. Our estimates indicate that microplastic emissions from a modern offshore wind turbine equipped with a polyurethane-based leading edge protection system are approximately 240 grams per year. Using this value, we estimated the current emissions from all wind turbines installed in the Dutch North Sea. Our projections suggest that the current emissions from Dutch offshore wind turbine blades, amounting to 100 kilograms per year, are approximately one thousand times lower than the total offshore microplastic emissions in the Netherlands when considering other sources, such as the paints and coatings of marine vessels.
