Nowadays people are no stranger to hearing the word Hypertension. Hypertension is a disease that is commonly found in the community, and is a disease associated with the cardiovascular system. Hypertension is not a contagious disease, but we also cannot take it lightly, we should always be vigilant. High blood pressure or hypertension and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) are the two main conditions that underlie many forms of cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for high blood pressure to also cause kidney problems. Until now, both efforts to prevent and treat hypertension have not been fully successful, this is due to many influencing factors such as lack of knowledge about hypertension (understanding, classification, signs and symptoms, causes and complications) and also its treatment. Currently, the death rate due to hypertension in Indonesia is very high. Hypertension is the number 3 cause of death after stroke and tuberculosis, which reaches 6.7% of the population of deaths at all ages in Indonesia. Hypertension is a circulatory system disorder that causes an increase in blood pressure above normal, which is 140/90 mmHg. The results of the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) Balitbangkes in 2007 showed the prevalence of hypertension nationally reached 31.7% (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia). Of that amount, 60% of people with hypertension end up in a stroke. While the rest in the heart, kidney failure, and blindness. While in the Western world, hypertension actually causes kidney failure, because efforts need to be made to reduce the number of hypertension disease, especially for people with hypertension need to be given proper care and treatment so as not to cause complications that are getting worse. In addition, the importance of providing nursing care to hypertensive patients is also very necessary to carry out the correct implementation in hypertensive patients. It is hoped that with this community service about hypertension disorders,it can provide appropriate and correct nursing care for people with hypertension and can reduce morbidity and mortality due to hypertension in the community.

Authors: Li Min , Chen Zhengyi , Wang Daying
Published: December 2022

Background: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of single-handed trans-umbilical single-site laparo-endoscopic surgery using the suspension-line method for salpingectomy in ectopic pregnancy. Methods: This study reviewed 54 patients with ectopic pregnancy who underwent salpingectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from June 2018 to June 2019. The control group (n = 29) was treated with routine two-handed trans-umbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (TU-LESS), while the study group (n = 25) was treated with single-handed TU-LESS using the suspension line method. Results: There were no significant differences in clinical indicators such as operation time, postoperative recovery ventilation time, recovery time of β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) to normal level, and postoperative complications (p > 0.05) between two groups, whereas the patients in the study group suffered less pain and were more satisfied with the incision (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Single-handed LESS using the suspension method can be safely and effectively applied to salpingectomy, with less trauma, more beautiful incision, and more comfortable operation.

Published: December 2022

Background: Stillbirth is a worldwide devastating adverse pregnancy outcome and specific maternal conditions have been associated with an increased risk of fetal death. However, despite the worldwide increased efforts in prevention of stillbirth, little improvements have been achieved in recent years. Our aim was to explore the role of maternal conditions that can be ascertained at the beginning of pregnancy (i.e., demographic and medical conditions/diseases) and estimate their contribution to antepartum stillbirth. An early identification of risk factors could offer to high-risk pregnancies a tailored antenatal surveillance by trained staff leading to a potential reduction of stillbirth rates. Methods: Retrospective case-control study in singleton pregnancies. The difference between fetal survival rates in women with or without risk factors was evaluated. Results: Antepartum stillbirth occurs more frequently in infertile, older women, with systemic diseases. Maternal conditions may affect fetal outcome in a time-dependent manner. Subdividing cases in early stillbirths (before 28 weeks of gestation) and late stillbirth (≥28 weeks of gestation) we observed that early stillbirths are associated with assisted reproductive technologies (Odds Ratio (OR) 3.10; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.43–6.71), maternal age above 35 years (OR 1.59; 95% CI 1.17–2.17) and pre-gestational hypertension (OR 3.68; 95% CI 1.28–10.56). Autoimmune disease (OR 6.55; 95% CI 2.90–14.80), inherited thrombophilia (OR 2.94; 95% CI 1.40–6.18) and pre-gestational diabetes (OR 7.57; 95% CI 2.17–26.35) are independent risk factors for late stillbirths. Further, the risk of stillbirth rises with the increasing of the number of pathological maternal clinical conditions, reaching an OR of 5.27 (95% CI 2.32–11.98) in cases of mother with three or more conditions/diseases. Conclusions: Early awareness of the maternal conditions/diseases addressable at the beginning of pregnancy is crucial to offer a personalized plan for high quality care during gestation; for the prevention of stillbirth, a cared clinical management should acknowledge that pregnancies can be affected more severely and earlier as the number of abnormal maternal conditions increases.

Published: December 2022

Background: Heart failure remains a considerable burden to healthcare in Asia. Early intervention, mainly using echocardiography, to assess cardiac function is crucial. However, due to limited resources and time, the procedure has become more challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, studies have shown that artificial intelligence (AI) is highly potential in complementing the work of clinicians to diagnose heart failure accurately and rapidly. Methods: We systematically searched Europe PMC, ProQuest, Science Direct, PubMed, and IEEE following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and our inclusion and exclusion criteria. The 14 selected works of literature were then assessed for their quality and risk of bias using the QUADAS-2 (Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies). Results: A total of 2105 studies were retrieved, and 14 were included in the analysis. Five studies posed risks of bias. Nearly all studies included datasets in the form of 3D (three dimensional) or 2D (two dimensional) images, along with apical four-chamber (A4C) and apical two-chamber (A2C) being the most common echocardiography views used. The machine learning algorithm for each study differs, with the convolutional neural network as the most common method used. The accuracy varies from 57% to 99.3%. Conclusions: To conclude, current evidence suggests that the application of AI leads to a better and faster diagnosis of left heart failure through echocardiography. However, the presence of clinicians is still irreplaceable during diagnostic processes and overall clinical care; thus, AI only serves as complementary assistance for clinicians.
How to Unmask Hidden Cardiovascular Diseases through Preparticipation Screening in Master Athletes?
Authors: Zujko Kinga , Małek Łukasz A.
Published: December 2022

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death globally in general population. Sport activity is an effective and recommended non-pharmacological method of CVD prevention. Presently, the group of people practicing sport regularly is constantly growing due to increasing awareness of its health benefits. However, vigorous-intensity exercises can reveal previously undetected disease. Master athletes over 35 years old are particularly exposed to sudden cardiac death (SCD) mainly in the course of coronary artery disease (CAD). Another common disease in veteran athletes is hypertension. It is known that regular endurance training can lower blood pressure at rest, so arterial hypertension in athletes is usually masked by adaptation to effort. Despite of normal or high-normal blood pressure in the office, the values during exercises and in ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) can exceed the norm. Hidden hypertension have the same negative impact on cardiovascular system. It increases the risk of (1) atherosclerosis and therefore myocardial infarction or stroke, (2) left ventricular hypertrophy with diastolic and/or systolic heart failure, myocardial fibrosis and ventricular arrhythmias, (3) left atrial enlargement increasing the risk of atrial fibrillation and stroke and (4) aortic dilation/dissection. Through these complications hypertension can lead to SCD during sport activities, therefore it is important to recognize this disease early and start a proper treatment. To enable safe participation in sports competition detailed guidelines for screening were created, but they mainly concern CAD. We propose an additional scheme of screening in master athletes including the detection of hidden hypertension to prevent its consequences.
The impacts of long-distance relationships on local natural resource management
Authors: Pisor Anne , Borgerhoff Mulder Monique , Smith Kristopher M
Published: December 2022

The management of large common-pool resources, like fisheries and forests, is more difficult when more people and more communities can access them—a particular problem given increased population sizes, higher mobility, and globalized trade in the Anthropocene. Social relationships spanning communities, such as kin relationships, business or trade relationships, and friendships, can make management even more challenging by facilitating and transmitting norms of overharvesting. However, these long-distance relationships can also bolster management by transmitting norms for sustainability, promoting interdependence, and laying the groundwork for nested management systems. Here, we review the negative and positive impacts of long-distance relationships on local natural resource management, providing illustrative examples from our field research on forest and fisheries management in Tanzania. Drawing on the evolutionary literature, the development literature, and our field data, we offer suggestions for how development partners can avoid the pitfalls of long-distance relationships and how they can leverage or even deliberately foster long-distance relationships to promote successful local natural resource management.

Evolution of the seasonal dynamics of the lake-terminating glacier Fjallsjökull, southeast Iceland, inferred using high-resolution repeat UAV imagery
Authors: Baurley Nathaniel , Hart Jane
Published: December 2022

Proglacial lakes are becoming ubiquitous at the termini of many glaciers worldwide, leading to increased glacier mass loss and terminus retreat, yet an understanding of the key processes forcing their behaviour is lacking. This study utilised high-resolution repeat uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV)-Structure from Motion (SfM) imagery to provide insights into the changing dynamics of Fjallsjökull, a large lake-terminating glacier in southeast Iceland, across the 2019 and 2021 summer melt seasons. We show that the overall dynamics of the glacier are controlled by the ~120 m deep bedrock channel under the study region, which has caused the glacier to flow faster as it enters deeper water, leading to increased ice acceleration, thinning and retreat, with the glacier decoupled from local climate as a result. The close correspondence between ice velocity and surface thinning suggests the implementation of the dynamic thinning feedback mechanism, with such a response likely to continue in future until the glacier recedes out of the bedrock channel into shallower water. As a result, these findings clearly indicate the complex nature of the calving process, highlighting the need for continued monitoring of lake-terminating glaciers in order to better understand and predict how they may respond in future.
Wildfire influence on recent US pollution trends

Published: December 2022

Steady improvements in ambient air quality in the US over the past several decades have led to large public health benefits. However, recent trends in PM2.5 concentrations, a key pollutant, have stagnated or begun to reverse throughout much of the US. We quantify the contribution of wildfire smoke to these trends and find that since 2016, wildfire smoke has significantly slowed or reversed previous improvements in average annual PM2.5 concentrations in two-thirds of US states, eroding 23% of previous gains on average in those states (equivalent to 3.6 years of air quality progress) and over 50% in multiple western states. Smoke influence on trends in extreme PM2.5 concentrations is detectable by 2010, but remains concentrated primarily in western states. Wildfire-driven increases in ambient PM2.5 concentrations are unregulated under current air pollution law, and, absent additional intervention, wildfire's contribution to regional and national air quality trends is likely to grow as the climate continues to warm.
Re-examining Temporal Variations in Intermediate-Depth Seismicity
Authors: Wimpenny Sam , Craig Timothy , Marcou Savvas
Published: December 2022

Changes in the frequency of intermediate-depth (60–300 km) earthquakes in response to static stress transfer can provide insights into the mechanisms of earthquake generation within subducting slabs. In this study, we use the most up-to-date global and regional earthquake catalogues to show that both the aftershock productivity of large earthquakes, and the changes in the frequency of intermediate-depth earthquakes around the timing of major megathrust slip, support the view that faults within the slab are relatively insensitive to static stress transfer on the order of earthquake stress drops. We interpret these results to suggest the population of faults within the slab are much further from their failure stress than is typical for shallow fault systems. We also find that aftershock productivity varies within slabs over small spatial scales, indicating that the mechanism that enables faults to rupture at intermediate depths is likely to be spatially heterogeneous over length-scales of a few tens of kilometres. We suggest dehydration-related weakening mechanisms can best account for this heterogeneity.
Changing the Culture of Peer Review for a More Inclusive and Equitable Psychological Science

Published: December 2022

Peer review is a core component of scientific practice. Although peer review ideally improves research and promotes rigor, it also has consequences for what types of research are published and cited, and who wants to (and is able to) advance in research-focused careers. Despite these consequences, few reviewers or editors receive training or oversight to ensure their feedback is helpful, professional, and culturally sensitive. Here, we critically examine the peer review system in psychology and neuroscience at multiple levels, from ideas to institutions, interactions, and individuals. We highlight initiatives that aim to change the normative negativity of peer review and provide authors with constructive, actionable feedback that is sensitive to diverse identities, methods, topics, and environments. We conclude with a call to action for how individuals, groups, and organizations can improve the culture of peer review. We provide examples of how changes in the peer review system can be made with an eye to diversity (increasing the range of identities and experiences constituting the field), equity (fair processes and outcomes across groups), and inclusion (experiences that promote belonging across groups). These changes can improve scientists’ experience of peer review, promote diverse perspectives and identities, and enhance the quality and impact of science.
Consonant bias in adults’ lexical processing under acoustically degraded listening conditions

Published: December 2022

Consonants facilitate lexical processing across most languages. This study investigates whether acoustic degradation affects this phonological bias in a lexical decision task. French words were processed using an 8-band vocoder, degrading their frequency modulations (FM) while preserving either original amplitude modulations (AM; Experiment 1), or only the slowest AM (<16 Hz; Experiment 2). Results reveal a consonant bias in listeners’ accuracy and response times only in Experiment 1 (reduced spectral and FM information but preserved AM cues). These degraded conditions resemble current cochlear-implant processors, and attest to the robustness of the phonological bias.

We investigated the expressions of happiness and sadness in adolescents’ direct messages (DMs) on Instagram. Using neural topic modelling (BERTopic), we analyzed 211,778 DMs belonging to 96 adolescents, who donated data from 110 Instagram accounts. Results showed that (1) expressions of happiness were more than four times more prevalent than expressions of sadness; (2) the number of DMs containing expressions of happiness and sadness were highly correlated; (3) there are temporal trends in the expression of happiness and sadness in adolescents’ DMs and there are individual differences in these trends, and (4) there is no significant between- or within-person relationship between the number of messages containing expressions of happiness and sadness and adolescents’ well-being.
How do we change what we can’t describe? A comprehensive Framework of User Behaviours in a materials circular economy.
Authors: Macklin Jennifer , Kaufman Stefan
Published: December 2022

Transitioning to a circular economy is critical in reducing current unsustainable levels of resource extraction, consumption and throughput to waste generation. The circular economy literature to date has predominantly focused on the supply-side, particularly the design, production and supply of products and materials through circular business models. However, the ‘use’ stage of the value chain is critical in realising the benefits of upstream activities. While research on the role of circular consumption is beginning to emerge, there does not yet exist a clear and comprehensive picture of the set of behaviours that are required or desired of users in a circular economy. The lack of such a framework is an important gap to fill. To address this, the research adopted a collaborative, transdisciplinary approach engaging with a wide range of Australian circular economy stakeholders from across the public, private, research and civil society sectors. A comprehensive Framework of User Circular Behaviours was co-produced, contained 59 distinct user behaviours, clearly labelled and defined. Behaviours are organised according to their phase in user interaction with a product, and by their function in a circular economy. A comparison with existing models of user-consumer behaviour reveals both the greater breadth and depth of the Framework. In addition, a preliminary model of the inter-relationships between these User behaviours, and up- and downstream circular activities is provided. The benefits of new Framework are many. It can provide clarity to future discussions of User behaviours, be utilised to organise and accumulate evidence of barriers and enablers of these behaviours, and the interventions that work to change them, and be a foundation for connecting research on production/business models with researcher on consumers/users.
Business models, consumer experiences and regulation of retirement villages
Authors: Travers Max , Liu Edgar , Cook Peta , Osborne Caroline , Jacobs Keith , Aminpour Fatemeh , Dwyer Zack
Published: December 2022

This research looks at the appeal, benefits and disadvantages of living in retirement villages, as well as at the business models employed and how the Australian Government can help the sector to expand. Retirement villages are a fast-growing housing sector: in 2014 approximately 184,000 Australians lived in retirement villages, equivalent to 5.7 per cent of the population aged 65 and over, a rate projected to increase to 7.5 per cent by 2025. Living in retirement villages saves the health care system $2.16 billion, with $1.98 billion of those savings achieved by postponing residents’ entry into government funded aged care facilities; however the sector does not currently receive direct funding from Commonwealth or state and territory governments.Retirement villages are governed by state and territory legislation in Australia, with each jurisdiction enacting its own set of regulations. A state tribunal in each jurisdiction provides independent, low cost and accessible dispute resolution in consumer or tenancy disputes.The major providers active in the retirement village industry are for-profit companies who market their product as a ‘lifestyle choice’ to entice wealthy Australians to purchase accommodation. There is little prospect that small not-for-profit organisations will expand their retirement provision without significant government funding (in the form of tax breaks, subsidies etc.).This research makes a number of recommendations, including a national ombudsman to support and advocate for the rights of older people navigating disputes with retirement village operators; greater transparency into fees and ongoing charges for retirement village residents; and building standards that ensure retirement village operators are responsible for providing accessible, universally designed residences and facilities.
The Revolt of the Reviewers: Towards Fixing a Broken Publishing Process
Authors: Oliver Pamela Elaine
Published: December 2022

The sociology review process is broken. There are too many reviews per paper and the norm that all papers go through a revise and resubmit process burns through reviewers, slows down the publication process, creates distorted papers as authors try to satisfy incompatible demands, and puts too high a premium on novelty over methodological rigor. Editors should get fewer reviews per paper and make editorial decisions. No new reviewers should be added in reviewing a revised manuscript. Peer review should not be treated as an opportunity to receive editorial assistance and mentoring and instead should be focused on ensuring that published papers are correct. Asking for large numbers of reviews will not solve the problem that sociologists do not agree on their standards. The reviewer problem points to larger questions about the structure of sociology as a field, the need for more venues for publishing solid empirical work, and the importance of replications. It also points to the structure of academic publishing in which for-profit publishers make money by selling to university libraries the products of the free labor of university professors.
Crisis Management, New Constitutionalism, and Depoliticisation: Recasting the Politics of Austerity in the US and UK, 2010-2016
Authors: Wamsley Dillon
Published: December 2022

Political economy literature has sought to explain the rapid shift from fiscal stimulus to austerity after the 2008 crisis. Influential contributions highlight the relative explanatory value of ideational or structural factors in contributing to post-crisis austerity. Drawing on Stephen Gill’s (1998) analysis of new constitutionalism and Peter Burnham’s (2001) understanding of depoliticisation, I contend that these frameworks offer a more useful lens to understand how post-2010 austerity in the US and UK was shaped by an enduring consensus on macroeconomic policy governance consolidating during the 1990s. Examining the role of fiscal mechanisms such as PAYGO in the US and the ‘Fiscal Golden Rules’ in the UK, and the operational independence conferred to central banks, I illustrate how Third Way governments institutionalised budgetary reforms and distanced macroeconomic policymaking from popular political contestation. Despite temporary lapses with this logic of fiscal restraint, as well as the rollout of historic monetary policies after 2008, I argue that these practices became deeply embedded within state institutions. Focusing on PAYGO in the US and the OBR in the UK, I show how policymakers redeployed policies and practices from the 1990s amidst the 2008 crisis to externalise responsibility for implementing austerity measures.

The environment is one of the factors that influence the breeding and life of the mosquito vector Ae. aegypti. Environmental factors that can influence consist of the physical environment, the biological environment and the social environment. People's habits that are detrimental to health and lack of attention to environmental hygiene are social environmental factors that can affect the incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). Policy for prevention and control of DHF in the form of prevention and control strategies for DHF according to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (2017) is the control of vector-borne dengue by prioritize community empowerment efforts and community participation through the one house one jumantik movement.This research is a qualitative research with a case study method that aims to evaluate the input, process and output of the one house one jumantik movement in the city of Pekanbaru. The study was conducted in Pekanbaru City with the interviewees consisting of staff from the Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Eradication Section  of the Pekanbaru City Health Office, puskesmas officers, jumantik cadres and the community.The results showed that the implementation of the one house one jumantik movement in prevention and control of dengue fever in Pekanbaru City was still uneven due to lack of awareness and participation of human resources, especially policy makers and the community, the absence of written standard operating procedures, inaccurate reporting systems, limited infrastructure, no rewards and punishment, as well as limited funds and limited mobility due to the covid-19 pandemic. One of the things that supports the increase in ABJ is the availability of funds for the implementation of the one house one jumantik movement, especially the incentives for cadres who go down according to schedule so that cadres can actively carry out socialization, data collection and inspections to the community. The limited funds to support the one house one jumantik movement made this activity not run optimally. The activeness of cadres and the increase in ABJ are also in line with the decrease in dengue cases.

Published: December 2022

The field experiment was conducted to know the yield performance of cucumber var. Bhaktapur Local with the application of plant growth regulators (PGRs) in the farmers’ field of Lamjung, Nepal during September to November, 2013. Five treatments (Four PGRs; NAA @10 ppm, GA3 @ 50ppm, GA3 @100ppm, MH@ 60ppm and distilled water as control) were replicated six times under walk-in plastic tunnel. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design. The first 30 flowers of each plant were used for the observation. PGRs were sprayed in 2-4 true leaf stage of seedling, 20 days after first spray and 10 days after second spray. The research revealed that NAA @ 10 ppm had higher effect in sex expression, fruit set and yield than rest of the treatments. GA3 @ 100 ppm had significantly higher number of male flowers and more vine growth than other treatments. Branch per plant was obtained as the highest with MH @60 ppm followed by NAA @10 ppm. The marketable fruit yield was significant with NAA @10 ppm followed by MH@ 60 ppm, GA3 @50 ppm, GA3 @100 ppm than control. It is concluded that thermo-sensitive variety of cucumber Bhaktapur Local can be grown with the use of plant growth regulators particularly, NAA@ 10 ppm, under walk-in plastic tunnels during the autumn-winter season in the mid hills of Nepal. The research further indicated that cucumber can be a profitable and a potential agriculture enterprise for the area.

Published: December 2022

Nepalese dairy sector has been showing structural changes with adoption of latest technologies like improved breeds, feeds, cultivated fodder and additives. In the context of these changes, this research was conducted to assess the technical efficiency and its determinants among dairy farms. The study was accomplished with primary data collected through face-to-face interview using semi-structured interview schedule from a sample of 240 dairy farms selected randomly using simple random sampling technique from 8 wards of Bharatpur Metropolitan City, Chitwan. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, stochastic production frontier and tobit regression model. Technical efficiency was found to be the highest in mix dairy farms (3.530) followed by cow farms (2.56) and buffalo farms (2.138). Labour was the most contributing factor in all three types of dairy farms. This study had shown that average annual income per farm should be Rs. 542000, Rs. 403225 and Rs. 611400 for getting 90% technical efficiency in milk production at buffalo, cow and mix farms, respectively. Similarly, 57% buffalo farms were operating at efficiency of 30-60%, 46% cow farms were operating at efficiency of 30%, and 67.5% mix farms were operating at efficiency of 30 to 60%. Total investment in dairy farming, training and adopting dairy as primary occupation were positively and significantly affecting technical efficiency on buffalo, cow and mix type of dairy farming system. There is still large scope to increase the annual milk production in the dairy farms of Chitwan through efficient use of available resources with the existing technologies. This is concluded that dairy farming system can be promoted efficiently by increasing total investment in dairy farming through easy access to loan, training on dairy animal production and management, ensuring dairy business as profitable primary occupation, promotion of fodder and pasture production, and securing easy access to medicines and additives.

Artemisia vulgaris is one of the highly used plant species as traditional medicine because of its antioxidant activity, anti-allergic effect and other several health benefits. This study was carried out with the objectives to explore the phytochemical constituents and assess the antioxidant property of essential oils of A. vulgaris found in sub- tropical regions of Bagmati province. Hydro distillation method was used for the extraction of essential oil and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis was performed to identify various phytochemicals present in essential oil. Evaluation of antioxidant activity by in vitro method was carried out by observing hydrogen peroxide scavenging effects of essential oils at different concentrations. GC-MS analysis showed 41 different phytochemicals including mono- and sesquiterpenes. Among them, highly expressed phytochemicals were Cadinene (14.95%), Caryophyllene(E) (9.32%), Camphor (8.74%), Thujone (6.57%), Eucalyptol (6.25%). Essential oil also showed scavenging effect against hydrogen peroxide with EC50 value of 48.49. This preliminary study shows that essential oil of A. vulgaris can be used as a source of natural antioxidants, but in vivo and other clinical trials must be done for oral use.

Tough there have been great advances in estimating actual evapotranspiration, achieving accurate estimates at the field level is still a challenge. The characterization of site specific characteristics influencing evapotranspiration like soil properties impose a great challenge to the use of modeling, and the accurate characterization of the variability within a field of crop status may bias estimates. Using remote sensing to estimate crop status and energy balance at a fine scale overcome some of these issues. Nevertheless there is a need to have accurate and precise measurements of evapotranspiration that can serve as validation sites. The eddy covariance method provides the accuracy and footprint necessary to be used as a reference. Two towers were installed between 2010 and 2015 at two contrasting locations each year in the south-west of Uruguay at agricultural fields with wheat-soybean crop rotation. The sites were maintained at the same location during wheat and soybean, and were moved when other crops were planted at the site. Each tower had instruments to measure in parallel the energy balance (radiometers, flux plates and soil temperature probes), and evapotranspiration directly from eddy covariance (sonic anemometer, IRGA). All locations met fetch requirements, were representative of agricultural fields and were situated in an area dominated by agricultural land. Season long totals showed large variability depending on crop status and seasonal precipitation regime that determined crop growth and leaf area development. Even after full canopy cover was reached (maximum Kc) there was large variation in evapotranspiration reflecting periods of severe stress in some years. This study provides reference values for a significant number of growing conditions and years and highlights the need for considering the variability among years and crops when making estimates of demand for supplemental irrigation. It also provides reference values for methods based on remote sensing of evapotranspiration.

Estimating total crop water use and the associated variability are critical for planning, for the design of supplementary irrigation strategies and for subsequent management. Tough there have been great advances in estimating actual evapotranspiration, achieving accurate estimates at the field level is still a challenge. The characterization of site specific characteristics influencing evapotranspiration like soil properties impose a great challenge to the use of modeling, and the accurate characterization of the variability within a field of crop status may bias estimates. Using remote sensing to estimate crop status and energy balance at a fine scale overcome some of these issues. Nevertheless there is a need to have accurate and precise measurements of evapotranspiration that can serve as validation sites. The eddy covariance method provides the accuracy and footprint necessary to be used as a reference. Two towers were installed between 2010 and 2015 at two contrasting locations each year in the south-west of Uruguay at agricultural fields with wheat-soybean crop rotation. The sites were maintained at the same location during wheat and soybean. Sites were managed with supplementary irrigation at full demand or without irrigation. Each tower had instruments to measure in parallel the energy balance (radiometers, flux plates and soil temperature probes), and evapotranspiration directly from eddy covariance (sonic anemometer, IRGA). All locations met fetch requirements, were representative of agricultural fields and were situated in an area dominated by agricultural land. Season long totals showed large variability depending on crop status and seasonal precipitation regime that determined crop growth and leaf area development. Totals for irrigated fields in the north (Salto, 650-800mm) were higher than in the south (Colonia-Soriano, 600-750), and higher than standard requirements for the region. This study provides reference values for a significant number of growing conditions and years for irrigated or rain-fed soybean crops.

The Province Constitution commands the development of Hydrological Balances (BH) in the basins of Mendoza Province, after a century the General Irrigation Department has implemented the BH programme in the frame of the Water Strategic Plan 2020. Up to now there was the presentation of the BH of the Superior Tunuyan River, that is developed herein as a study case. An integral and conceptual model was created, which considered the characteristics of the Administrative Management Units (AMU), the hydrological components and their interrelations. To define the decision rules, a prospective analysis method was selected and productive context and the climate change circumstances were also taken into account. As methodological strategies, the use of the hydrological model WEAP (Water Evaluation and Planning) was adopted because this tool allows assessments in different scenarios. An Actual Hydrological Balance (AHB) and a Programmed Hydrological Balance (PHB) were modelled. In the first case the present efficiencies, the registered cultivated lands and the coefficient of distribution currently used were taken into account. In the second case an estimated future analysis was done based on an assessed efficiency and on the registered cultivated lands. Future climate changes were taken into account, considering a decrease of the hydrological offer and an increase of this demand due to the higher temperatures. All the AMU exceeds the annual demand coverage in more than 85%. The results show that the values of the demand through the BHP reach the reference values acceptable in the irrigated semiarid regions.
Remote Sensing for Crop Water Management
Authors: Calera A.
Published: December 2022

Advancements on Earth Observation science and technology in the last decades have made possible the operative use of dense time series of multispectral imagery at high spatial resolution [5-30 m] to monitor crop development across its growing season at a suitable scale. These time series of images, jointly with meteorological data are able to provide accurate maps of daily evapotranspiration and so crop water requirements by using the remote sensing-based approach crop coefficient, Kc, and reference evapotranspiration, ETo, where Kc is derived from spectral reflectances and ETo from meteorological data. A water balance in the root soil layer enables us to calculate irrigation water requirements at appropriate scale for monitoring water management near- real time. This approach could be coupled to the remote sensing-based surface energy balance which uses surface temperature as primary input. But what we could call «remote sensing-driven crop water management» requires at least two steps more to be placed into the day-to-day routine on farming irrigation: On the one hand, for planning irrigation the users require the forecasting of crop water requirements for the week ahead; it can be achieved by extrapolating crop coefficient trend and by using weather forecasting for ETo estimation. On the other hand, decision makers in charge of irrigation require access to this information in an easy-to-use way on real time. It can be achieved through leading edge webGIS tools, which facilitates co-creation and collaboration with stakeholders.
