Las narrativas de las viudas en Ciudad Juárez: una estrategia metodológica para la intervención del trabajador social en contextos de violencia criminal
Authors: Aguirre Rodríguez Lina María
Published: April 2024

El propósito del artículo es presentar la narrativa como una estrategia metodológica para la intervención del trabajador social. Desde el enfoque biográfico-narrativo, se construyó el relato analítico de una viuda que presenta los hechos más significativos que giraron en torno al asesinato del esposo, las emociones y sentimientos que ella experimentó durante este hecho violento y enel proceso de duelo, así como la atención psicosocial que ella recibió en el programa social FANVI. A partir del análisis del relato analítico de la entrevistada, se delineó un modelo de intervención psicosocial para la reparación integral del daño a las mujeres víctimas de violencia criminal, que plantea tres niveles de intervención: a) trabajar con las mujeres en la elaboración de la pérdida del ser querido; b) apoyar a las afectadas en la reparación integral del daño y el resarcimiento de los derechos que les fueron vulnerados desde la perspectiva de género; y c) evaluar las condiciones materiales de existencia y las redes sociales de apoyo de las dolientes. Se concluye que la narrativa es un insumo analítico de una gran utilidad, porque sirve para generar propuestas de intervención y retroalimentar la práctica profesional del trabajador social con mujeres que perdieron a sus cónyuges, en contextos marcados por la violencia criminal, estructural y de género.
El Trabajo Social y el neoliberalismo. Aproximaciones a una definición abierta a la complejidad social
Authors: Zamanillo Peral Teresa
Published: April 2024

Este es un trabajo de epistemología, puesto que se propone dialogar con el conocimiento básico que ha construido la disciplina del Trabajo Social como pensamiento y, por tanto, como acción profesional. Se cuestiona en él la definición última de Melbourne, en un contexto de salvaje neoliberalismo y globalización, y se aproxima a una definición más operativa cuyos principales elementos pueden ser evaluables. La consideración de los fines que se ha propuesto el Trabajo Social en su construcción, y la necesidad de abrirse a la complejidad social del mundo de hoy,completan el deseo de la autora de continuar revisando la episteme, elaborada muchas veces bajo la mirada de algunas creencias discutibles.

El Trabajo Social mexicano hoy: apuntes para una reinterpretación de su contemporaneidad
Authors: Marín Cortés Régulo
Published: April 2024

Si en general la historia de las profesiones muestra cómo cada una de ellas se encuentra ligada directamente con los contextos económicos, políticos y sociales que las han hecho posibles, la del Trabajo Social en México es un caso digno de destacarse, habida cuenta de que enfrenta una modificación radical en las condiciones históricas de su emergencia, pues en los últimos años ha sufrido un proceso de deterioro con el debilitamiento del Estado benefactor y la vigencia del Estado neoliberal. En estas condiciones de posibilidad el Trabajo Social mexicano de nuestros días, contemporáneo, enfrenta un conjunto de retos y debates como disciplina y profesión, en los confines de una profunda crisis económica, política y social que ha exacerbado al máximo los problemas y necesidades sociales de amplias capas de la población; lo hace también en el marco de una naciente transición de gobierno que puso fin a las administraciones emanadas del PRI y el PAN durante más de 70 años. El debate se extiende a algunas de las tareas del momento que, a juicio nuestro, debería emprender nuestra profesión de cara al nuevo contexto. Este trabajo pretende contribuir a dicho debate con una caracterización muy general y muy inicial del Trabajo Social mexicano de nuestros días, llamado también contemporáneo.
Seguridad pública: una tarea de ciudadanos + policías
Authors: Morera María Elena
Published: April 2024

Teniendo como telón de fondo la grave crisis de violencia y delincuencia que vive nuestro país, en este ensayo se presenta una visión panorámica de la situación y las condiciones en las que operan las 32 corporaciones estatales y la Policía Federal de México, con base en los resultados de los estudios que realiza, desde 2010, la organización de la sociedad civil sin fines de lucro Causa en Común. En particular, destaca los hallazgos del Índice de Desarrollo Policial y de la encuesta ¿Qué piensa la policía?, así como del estudio Jornadas laborales. En un segundo apartado, se plantean algunas consideraciones sobre las formas que puede adoptar la participación social para contribuir a la construcción de la seguridad pública, poniendo como ejemplo lo realizado por Causa en Común como integrante de la Red Nacional por la Seguridad: Ciudadanos + Policías, y del colectivo conocido como #SeguridadSinGuerra. Finaliza con un análisis de las implicaciones y riesgos que se perciben en la propuesta del gobierno federal relativa a conformar una Guardia Nacional que militarizaría la seguridad pública, por lo que plantea alternativas, para desarrollar y fortalecer a las instituciones civiles de seguridad; es decir, a las policías.
Reflexiones sobre la inseguridad, la violencia, la ilegalidad entre los habitantes de la ciudad. Lo que necesitamos para el cambio social
Authors: Tello Peón Nelia Elena
Published: April 2024

Se presentan las reflexiones desde la perspectiva del Trabajo Social que contempla como epistemología a la complejidad y transita entre los problemas estructurales, comunitarios y particulares. Esta perspectiva entiende a la inseguridad, violencia e ilegalidad como una categoría que centra como su unidad de análisis lo relacional, así aborda la relación entre los mismos habitantes de la comunidad: entre la policía y los miembros de la comunidad, entre las familias y los miembros de la comunidad, entre las autoridades y los miembros de la comunidad, por lo cual reflexiona sobre los jóvenes, enunciados por los demás miembros de la comunidad como  protagonistas de la violencia comunitaria; termina concluyendo que el responsable somos todos y de acuerdo con la necesidad de una transformación, no basada en buenos deseos sino en comportamientos que resignifiquen al otro y nos capaciten para construir la diferencia.
Ampliando horizontes de vida (AHVI): Estrategia de intervención del Trabajo Social para adolescentes trasplantados por enfermedad renal crónica terminal
Authors: Velázquez Hernández María Carmela , Flores Gutiérrez Ignacio Carlos , Cabrera Solís Iris Estrella , León Hernández Rocío , López Soriano Andrea Abigail , Villanueva Hernández Elbia
Published: April 2024

La Unicef señala que los principales problemas detectados en los adolescentes mexicanos son: deserción escolar, explotación social y comercial, adicciones como tabaquismo y alcoholismo, delincuencia, embarazos prematuros, migración y, finalmente, mortandad. Este trabajo analiza la situación de 87 adolescentes con una enfermedad renal crónica terminal (ERCT) que recibieron trasplantes en un hospital de tercer nivel de atención. Las preguntas de intervención detonantes son: ¿cómo transitar de la vida de adolescente enfermo dependiente, al desarrollo integral de su vida como sujeto social, con un trasplante de riñón, responsable, autónomo e independiente?, y ¿cómo reforzar las relaciones sociales afectivas y funcionales, que permitan llevar al paciente adolescente (y a su familia), después de la intervención quirúrgica, de una co-dependencia y exclusión a la autonomía e inclusión? La conclusión diagnóstica nos da la pauta para construir el cambio y resignificar la enfermedad como simplemente una nueva realidad. El estudio pone énfasis en dos cuestiones centrales: por un lado –con base en que los adolescentes con ERCT se aíslan y se sienten excluidos y no tomados en cuenta en la etapa pre-operatoria– propone aplicar la metodología de Tello-Ornelas, para el proceso de intervención de un Trabajador Social; por otro lado, se sustenta en el hecho de que ante una enfermedad de tipo crónico es necesario que los miembros de la familia del enfermo actúen y se consoliden como grupo para beneficio de todos. Abordamos las etapas: conclusión diagnóstica, construcción conceptual del cambio y la reconceptualización de la situación problema.
La yatrogénesis social: isomorfismo de equívocos en el diagnóstico comunitario
Authors: Velasco Vázquez Manuel
Published: April 2024

Esta es la primera parte de un trabajo que reflexiona sobre equívocos frecuentes en la realización del diagnóstico comunitario. En él se hace un acercamiento a la yatrogénesis, propuesta de Ivan Illich, como un isomorfismo sobre el desempeño de profesionales de la salud, aplicado en el Trabajo Social. Con ello se tratan de presentar las principales afectaciones y sus consecuencias, con la intención de reconocer las principales confusiones, imprecisiones, ambigüedades y contradicciones implicadas, como autocrítica que ayude a realizar diagnósticos más pertinentes y definir estrategias de intervención basadas en un conocimiento fundamentado.
Una fenomenología de la dignidad acompañada
Authors: Lefranc Weegan Federico César
Published: April 2024

Si algo nos han enseñado los últimos años del siglo XX y los primeros del XXI sobre la idea de una dignidad humana, es que no ha sido suficiente con invocar su prestigioso sustento kantiano para que esta idea resulte comprehensiva. Kant afirma que el hombre debe ser tratado siempre a la vez como fin y no únicamente como mero medio. En una u otra forma, y en contextos distintos, esta expresión, junto con otras ideas del filósofo alemán, son invocadas en las más diversas discusiones acerca de la dignidad. Pero la crítica más importante a los postulados kantianos es que excluyó el universo de lo femenino del ámbito de la autonomía. Ello sería suficiente para cuestionar tajantemente su concepción de la dignidad humana. Propongo aquí poner entre paréntesis lo kantiano e intentar una aproximación ya no a una definición precisa de la dignidad, sino a la demostración de la misma en el siglo XXI desde una experiencia necesariamente compartida al modo de quienes habitamos el mundo. Donde “compartida” signifique la necesaria consideración del más humilde de los seres humanos acompañándose de otros seres humanos.

Los derechos económicos, sociales, culturales y ambientales en México, 2023
Authors: Fuentes Alcalá Mario Luis , Arellano Almanza Saúl
Published: April 2024

Esta nueva edición de la colección Panorama Social, tiene como propósito dar cuenta de las condiciones estructurales del incumplimiento de los derechos económicos, sociales, culturales y ambientales de la población mexicana. El texto supone el principio de supremacía constitucional, conforme con el cual, una interpretación sistemática del orden jurídico nacional obliga a que en todas las decisiones de las instituciones públicas se actúe con base en el paradigma de los derechos humanos, que en el fondo se erige como el eje vertebrador no solo de la arquitectura jurídica del país, sino en todo el sistema de planeación, programación y presupuestación de los tres órdenes de gobierno; por lo cual, todas las decisiones institucionales están implícitamente obligadas a respetar la jerarquía de superioridad del mandato constitucional y de los tratados internacionales. Es en ese sentido, la lógica argumentativa de este texto sigue a diversas Tesis que han emitido diversos Tribunales Federales, y los cuales establecen tanto criterios orientadores mediante Tesis Aisladas; así como mandatos explícitos que se fijan a través de las Tesis de Jurisprudencia que se han construido respecto del paradigma constitucional de los derechos.

Real Time Weapon Detection using YOLOv8 and Alert Mechanism
Authors: Chunchwar Pradyunya
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Security cameras and video surveillance cameras have become an important partof public safety. However, in many cities, thesesystems still manually detect high-risk situations. Understaffing in security services can lead to delays in detecting incidents or unforeseen threats, putting the public at risk. The aim of this project is to develop a low-cost, effective intelligencebased solution for real-time weapons detection and surveillance video analysis in different situations. As can be seen from many statistics, the incidence of gun and dangerous weapon crimes is increasing every year, making it difficult for the police to solve the problem in time. Crimes caused by guns or knives are very common in many places, especially in places where gun laws do not exist. Early detection of crime is critical to public safety. One way to prevent these situations is to use video surveillance to detect the presence of dangerous weapons such as guns and knives. Monitoring and control now also require monitoring and intervention. Here, we present in video a system for tracking weapons suitable for tracking and controlling targets. We use the YOLOv8 (look once) algorithm to detect weapons in live video. YOLO model is an end-to-end deep learning model; it is very popular because it is fast and accurate. Previous methods such as region-based convolutional neural networks (R-CNN) required thousands of network tests to make predictions for an image, which could be time-consuming-Optimization is a laborious and painful process. He focuses on specific areas ofpainting and trains everything personally. The YOLO model, on the other hand, passes the image through the neural network only once. Since speed isimportant in real-time video, we use the YOLOv8 algorithm. This data was trained to classify three groups of weapons (pistols, knives, and artillery). When a weapon is detected, an alert is sent to authorities who can take action and reduce crime before it becomes a crime. Powered by Tensorflow, the system took 294 seconds in the first test toidentify weapon types in 9 categories.

The Impact of Cognitive Self-Regulated Learning Strategies on Students' Academic Self-Efficacy: An Empirical Examination Differentiated by Family Background
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Oh Chun-Sik , Lee Jeon-Yi
Published: April 2024

Objectives This study empirically examined how cognitive self-regulated learning strategies influence students' academic self-efficacy, considering variations in family backgrounds.
Methods To achieve this, data from the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th waves of the Korean Educational Longitudinal Study (KELS) 2013 cohort were used, selecting data based on the inclusion of cognitive self-regulated learning strategies in surveys (2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th waves), post-middle school time points (3rd, 5th, 7th waves), and parental demographic background surveys (1st wave).
Results Analyzing three time points of longitudinal data, vulnerable students showed lower academic self-efficacy and cognitive self-regulated learning strategies compared to non-vulnerable students. Using a two-way fixed effects model, an increase in cognitive self-regulated learning strategies had a static effect on changes in academic self-efficacy, with a greater impact observed among vulnerable students.
Conclusions This study suggests evidence that socioeconomic-based disparities in students' academic self-efficacy can be mitigated. The need for additional cognitive self-regulated learning strategy education for vulnerable students is emphasized.
A Study on the Development and Validation of Scale of CSFT(College Student of Failure Tolerance): Structural relationship of Failure Tolerance, Grit and Academic amotivation
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Hong Song-Ee , Lee Seunghee
Published: April 2024

Objectives The study aimed to develop and validate the scale of ‘the college student of failure tolerance (CSFT)’ to understand the failure tolerance of college students.
Methods The interviews were conducted with college students. Six stories were extracted from previous studies and interviews and two questions for each story. After preliminary test, an survey of 10 questions was administered to the 818 college students along with the Grit and Academic amotivation scales. The exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to verify construct validity, and and correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the relationships with the criterion scales in verifying concurrent validity. The mediating effect in the causal relationship was analyzed by applying the bootstrapping method 2,000 times with a 95% confidence interval. To analyze reliability, Cronbach’s α coefficient was calculated.
Results The exploratory factor analysis indicated that those five areas (Grade management, Aptitude for major, Self-management, independency, Career preparation) were contracted to two factors (‘Analysis of the cause of failure’ and ‘Belief in overcoming failure’). Confirmatory factor analysis, using structural equation modeling, confirmed that the factor structure of CSFT fits to the data. In order to examine the criterion validity of CSFT, the causal model of ‘Analysis of the cause of failure’ and ‘Belief in overcoming failure’, ‘Grit’, and ‘Academic amotivation’ was analyzed using structural equation modeling. As a result, it was confirmed that the higher the ‘Failure tolerance’, the higher the ‘Grit’, but the lower the ‘Academic amotivation’. Additionally it was found that ‘Belief in overcoming failure’ played a role as a mediating variable between ‘Analysis of the cause of failure’ and ‘Grit’, and between ‘Analysis of the cause of failure’ and ‘Academic amotivation’. The reliability coefficients (Cronbach’s α) of the CSFT were satisfactory, ranging from .75 to .79.
Conclusions Based on these findings, the importance of measuring the college students’ failure tolerance and its implications were discussed.

Efficacy of Jatyadi Taila Uttarbasti in the Management of Urethral Stricture a Single Case Study
Authors: Varsadiya Dr.Akash , Sharma Dr.Rajeshkumar , Kanani Dr. Dipa
Published: April 2024

In Ayurveda, Acharya Sushrut mentioned an excellent treatment named Uttarbasti for urethral stricture known as Mutrakruccha in classical scriptures. Mutrakruccha translates to difficulty in micturition. It can be associated with urethral stricture due to the similarity of symptoms. Urethral stricture disease is often seen in patients with recurrent urinary tract infections, urethral injuries, or post-surgical procedures conducted through the urethra. The most common causes of urethral stricture today are traumatic or iatrogenic. Inflammatory or infectious, malignant, and congenital aetiologies are less common. There is a low success rate of Western medical science treatment for urethral stricture disease. Surgical treatment of urethral stricture disease is indicated when the patient has severe voiding symptoms, bladder calculi, increased postvoid residual, urinary tract infection, or when conservative management fails. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) should be adequately treated before surgical intervention. In this case study, a 39-year-old male patient complained of suffering from symptoms like the strangury of urine, pain during micturition, the flow of urine is very poor, frequent micturition and occasionally burning micturition. After clinical examination and radiological testing, the patient was identified as having urethral stricture and treated with Jatyadi Taila Uttarbasti for 21 days at Shalyatantra OPD, Government Akhandanand Ayurved College and Hospital, Ahmedabad. After completion of treatment, the patient felt 75% relief in symptoms. So, we can conclude that non-invasive treatment such as Uttarbasti is highly advisable in patients having Urethral stricture.
Cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the protective effects of Aerva Lanata Linn.on airways remodeling in experimental model of bronchial asthma in rats
Authors: Sharma Hemlata , Gulati Kavita , Ray Arunabha
Published: April 2024

Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease characterized by bronchoconstriction and hyperresponsiveness of the bronchial airways. The treatment for bronchial asthma is mainly aimed at relieving symptoms by bronchodilators and controlling asthmatic attacks with anti-inflammatory agents. These therapeutic strategies are associated with several adverse drug effects and high cost that may negatively affect the compliance to therapy. Chronic asthma also results in structural remodeling of the airways which enhances the incidence of refractory asthma and increases morbidity/mortality. It is therefore important to explore adjuncts from alternative forms of therapy to compliment/supplement the conventional treatment. The study assessed the effects of Aerva Lanata Linn., a medicinal plant used in the traditional systems of medicine, on airway remodeling in an experimental model of asthma in rats. Wistar rats were immunized on day 0 with ovalbumin and Al(OH)3 and challenged with aerosolized ovalbumin from day 15 to 22. The rats were treated orally with various doses of standardized aqueous extract of whole plant of Aerva Lanata Linn. or prednisolone (10 mg/kg) for 22 days. After 24 hrs of last challenge, blood, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and lung tissue were collected and assayed for markers of structural remodeling viz, (a) cytokine levels (TGF-β and IL-13); (b) hydroxyproline content, and (c) histopathology. The results showed that Aerva Lanata Linn. markedly reduced the levels of TGF-β, IL-13 in both blood and BAL fluid and hydroxyproline content in lung homogenates. Histopathological examination of lung tissue confirmed the modulatory effects of Aerva Lanata Linn. on airway remodeling as evidenced by reductions in goblet cell hyperplasia, inflammatory cells infiltration and sub epithelial fibrosis, as compared to that in the experimental (disease control) group. The results showed that Aerva Lanata Linn. Attenuated the histopathological changes and biochemical markers of airway remodeling by altering the levels of IL-13 and TGFβ, and the study suggested that it could be beneficial in cases of chronic bronchial asthma.

Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) have numerous cardiovascular benefits, including vasodilation, anti-inflammatory actions, and anti-migratory effects on vascular smooth muscle cells. However, sEH, an enzyme that breaks down EETs into diols, limits these benefits. The development of sEH inhibitors (sEHIs), particularly those based on 1,3-disubstituted urea, has shown promise in enhancing the therapeutic properties of EETs. These inhibitors are antihypertensive and anti-inflammatory and can protect the heart, brain, and kidneys from damage. While there are still challenges to overcome, such as improving the drug-like properties of sEHIs and finding better ways to target specific tissues, the initiation of clinical trials for sEHIs highlights their potential as therapeutic agents.

Published: April 2024

En Chile, los hitos del ‘Mayo feminista’ de 2018 y la ‘Revuelta’ de 2019 constituyeron dos grandes acciones de protesta social en nuestra historia reciente. No obstante, estos dos fenómenos son fruto de procesos previos que albergan una pluralidad de acciones tales como las protestas y movilizaciones sociales por la educación iniciadas en 2001 y que vieron su apogeo en 2011. El presente escrito se sitúa en aquel escenario educativo previo a 2018, y sistematiza el ideario y los desafíos de La Cimarra, una colectividad orientada a la educación no formal, convergente con la crítica que lxs estudiantes hicieron al sistema escolar chileno en aquellos años. Aspectos tales como la co-formación, la participación directa, la ética, los afectos y la historia, entre otros, fueron fundamentales en la construcción de esta propuesta pedagógica. Este texto se fundamenta en las voces de las personas que pertenecieron a este grupo y se ofrece como un ejercicio de memoria de una experiencia que tuvo efectos educativos y políticos valiosos. Sostenemos que La cimarra fue una experiencia de carácter prefigurativo, ya que nos permitió previamente imaginar y dotar de forma a las experiencias sociales y políticas posteriores que ocurrieron en Chile.

This study investigates the relationship between financial reporting quality and earnings quality in Jordanian industrial companies. This paper used a survey-based approach, utilizing questionnaires to collect data from selected participants representing Jordanian industrial companies using SmartPLS 4. The study confirms a positive relationship between financial reporting and earnings quality in Jordanian industrial companies. Preparing accurate financial reports allows visualization of the company’s financial position and performance in accordance with accounting standards and disclosure practices. The findings offer valuable guidance to regulators, investors, and stakeholders in understanding the significance of financial reporting quality and its implications for evaluating financial performance and decision-making processes. In addition to promotes financial transparency and informed decision making in the Jordanian industrial sector. This study enhances understanding of the importance of financial reporting quality for ensuring reliable and accurate earnings information. The study’s PLS-SEM methodology also contributes to the methodological literature in this area.

Background and Purpose Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are
neurodevelopmental disorders whose diagnosis relies on deficient social
interaction and communication together with repetitive behaviours.
Multiple studies have highlighted the potential of oxytocin (OT) to
ameliorate behavioural abnormalities in animal models and subjects with
ASD. Clinical trials, however, yielded disappointing results. Our study
aimed at challenging hypotheses accounting for such negative results by
assessing the behavioural effects of different regimens of OT
administration in the Oprm1 null mouse model of ASD. Experimental
Approach We assessed the effects of intranasal OT injected once at
different doses and time points following administration, or
chronically, on ASD-related behaviours in Oprm1+/+ and Oprm1-/- mice. We
then tested whether pairing intranasal OT injection with social
experience would influence its outcome on ASD-like core symptoms, and
measured gene expression in several regions of the reward/social
circuit. Key Results Acute intranasal OT improved social behaviour in
Oprm1-/- mice at a moderate dose (0.3 IU) shortly after administration
(5 min). Effects on non-social behaviours were limited. Chronic OT at
this dose maintained beneficial effects in Oprm1 null mice but was
deleterious in wild-type mice. Finally, improvements in the social
behaviour of Oprm1-/- mice were greater and longer lasting when OT was
administered in a social context, while the expression of OT and
vasopressin receptor genes, as well as marker genes of striatal
projection neurons, was suppressed. Conclusions and implications Our
results highlight the importance of considering dosage and social
context when evaluating the effects of OT treatment in ASD.

Published: April 2024

In the summer of 2020, ESA changed the orbit of CryoSat-2 to align
periodically with NASA’s ICESat-2 mission, a campaign known as CRYO2ICE,
which allows for near-coincident CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 observations in
space and time over the Arctic until summer 2022, where the CRYO2ICE
Antarctic campaign was initiated. This study investigates the Arctic
CRYO2ICE radar and laser freeboards acquired by CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2,
respectively, during the winter seasons of 2020–2022, and derives snow
depths from their differences along the orbits. Along-track snow depth
observations can provide high-resolution snow depth distributions which
are vital for air-ice-ocean heat and momentum transfer, understanding
light transmission, and snow-ice-interactions. Generally, ICESat-2 is
backscattered at a surface above the elevation of the CryoSat-2 signal.
CRYO2ICE snow depths are thinner than the daily model- or
passive-microwave-based snow depth composites used for comparison, with
differences being most pronounced in the Atlantic and Pacific Arctic.
Satellite-derived and model-based snow estimates show similar seasonal
accumulation over FYI, but CRYO2ICE has limited seasonal accumulation
over MYI which is linked to a slow increase in ICESat-2, and to some
extent CryoSat-2, freeboards. We present a first estimation of
along-track snow depth estimates with average uncertainty of 9 +/- 3 cm
for 7-km segments, with random and systematic contributions of 7 and 4
cm. These observations show the potential for along-track dual-frequency
observations of snow depth from the future Copernicus mission CRISTAL;
but they also highlight uncertainties in radar penetration and the
correlation length scales of snow topography that still require further
research.
Air Mass Transport to the UTLS above the Tropical West Pacific

Published: April 2024

The Tropical West Pacific (TWP) is the key entry point of air into the
stratosphere during Northern Hemispheric winter. Our previous work
showed how transport to the TWP troposphere is modulated by the movement
of the Intertropical Convergence Zone, allowing transport of polluted
air masses from tropical Asia during spring (Müller et al., 2023a,
Müller et al. 2023b). Here, we present insights on air mass transport to
the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) in this region using the
ozone and relative humidity time series (2016-2023) from the Palau
Atmospheric Observatory (PAO), located in the center of the tropical
warm pool (7°N, 134°E). We further give an overview of all observations
performed at the PAO during the ACCLIP summer campaign 2022, including
ozone, CFH and COBALD sonde and lidar measurements.

In analogy to Müller et al. 2023b, Lagrangian backward trajectories
calculated are used to identify transport from remote locations. The
time series already allows some interpretation regarding interannual
variability mainly to the ENSO cycle. Here, we show anomalies during the
2016 strong El Nino and potentially the El Nino in the upcoming winter
2023. The PAO proves to be an excellent site to study UTLS composition
and dynamics in the TWP region.
Response of convectively coupled Kelvin waves to surface temperature forcing in aquaplanet simulations
Authors: Chien Mu-Ting , Kim Daehyun
Published: April 2024

This study investigates changes in the propagation and maintenance of
convectively coupled Kelvin waves (KWs) in response to surface warming.
We use a set of three aquaplanet simulations made with the Community
Atmospheric Model version 6 by varying the sea surface temperature
boundary conditions, representing the current climate, a warmer (+4K),
and a cooler (-4K) climate. Results show that KWs accelerate at the rate
of about 7.1%/K and their amplitudes decrease by 4.7%/K. The dampening
of KWs with warming is found to be associated with a weakening of the
internal thermodynamic feedback between diabatic heating and temperature
anomalies that generates KW eddy available potential energy (EAPE). The
phase speed of KWs closely matches that of the second baroclinic mode KW
in -4K, while the phase speed of KWs is approximately that of the first
baroclinic mode KW in +4K. Meanwhile, the coupling between the two
baroclinic modes weakens with warming. We hypothesize that in -4K, as
the first and second modes are strongly coupled, KWs destabilize by
positive EAPE generation within the second mode, and they propagate
slower following the second mode KW phase speed. In +4K, as the first
and second modes decouple, KWs are damped by negative EAPE generation
within the first mode, and they propagate faster following the first
mode KW phase speed.
