CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT IN GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY – AN OVERVIEW
Authors: Kumar A. S.
Published: May 2022

Abstract. This article gives an overview of capacity development (CD) elements for fast-growing geospatial technologies and their applications (GSTA). While the Earth observation data and spatial analytics software tools are getting more open and accessible, lack of skilled workforce and institutional capacities are limiting effective applications. A systematic process is essential in realising required capacity at individual and institutional levels, in maintaining and upgrading technological infrastructures, and in updating geospatial data and strengthening human resources for sustainable supply of workforce. This article discusses on different user sectors and their competencies that are expected to meet their demands. It is also important to take stock of different modes of CD along with a variety of methods to select the appropriate suitable for the different users’ groups for efficient knowledge transfer. In addition, this article describes briefly on two methods of building curriculum design of courses based on two different body of knowledge objectives. The importance of coordinated effort in CD programs is stressed for promoting GSTA for national and international flagship development programs such as the 2030 global sustainable development agenda. It briefly discusses on the issue of gender diversity and points out ways to increase the women participation in GSTA CD programs.

Abstract. In Arctic ecosystems, increasing temperatures are driving
the expansion of nitrogen (N) fixing shrubs across tundra landscapes. The
implications of this expansion to the biogeochemistry of Arctic ecosystems
are of critical importance and more work is needed to better understand the
form, availability, and transportation potential of N from these shrubs
across a variety of Arctic landscapes. To gain insights into the processes
controlling N within a permafrost hillslope system, the spatiotemporal
variability of nitrate (NO3-) and its environmental controls were
investigated at an alder (Alnus viridis spp. fruticosa) dominated permafrost tundra landscape in the
Seward Peninsula, Alaska, USA. Soil pore water was collected from locations
within alder shrubland growing along a well-drained hillslope and was compared to soil
pore water collected from locations outside (upslope, downslope, and between) the alder shrubland. Soil pore water
collected within alder shrubland had an average NO3-N (nitrogen from
nitrate) concentration of 4.27±8.02 mg L−1 and differed
significantly from locations outside alder shrubland (0.23±0.83 mg L−1; p<0.05). Temporal variation in NO3-N within and
downslope of alder shrubland co-occurred with precipitation events where
NO3- that accumulated in the soil was likely flushed downslope
during rainfall. These findings have important implications for nutrient
availability and mobility in N-limited permafrost systems that are
experiencing shrub expansion in response to a warming Arctic.
Storm track response to uniform global warming downstream of an idealized sea surface temperature front
Authors: Schemm Sebastian , Papritz Lukas , Rivière Gwendal
Published: May 2022

Abstract. The future evolution of storm tracks, their intensity, shape, and location, is an important driver of regional precipitation changes, cyclone-associated weather extremes, and regional climate patterns. For the North Atlantic storm track, Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) data indicate a tripole pattern of change under the RCP8.5 scenario. In this study, the tripole pattern is qualitatively reproduced by simulating the change of a storm track generated downstream of an idealized sea surface temperature (SST) front under uniform warming on an aquaplanet. The simulated tripole pattern consists of reduced eddy kinetic energy (EKE) upstream and equatorward of the SST front, extended and poleward shifted enhanced EKE downstream of the SST front, and a regionally reduced EKE increase at polar latitudes. In the absence of the idealized SST front, in contrast, the storm track exhibits a poleward shift but no tripole pattern. A detailed analysis of the EKE and eddy available potential energy (EAPE) sources and sinks reveals that the changes are locally driven by changes in baroclinic conversion rather than diabatic processes. However, globally the change in baroclinic conversion averages to zero; thus the observed global EAPE increase results from diabatic generation. In particular, resolved-scale condensation plus parameterized cloud physics dominate the global EAPE increase followed by longwave radiation. Amplified stationary waves affect EKE and EAPE advection, which contributes to the local EKE and EAPE minimum at polar latitudes. Feature-based tracking provides further insight into cyclone life cycle changes downstream of the SST front. Moderately deepening cyclones deepen less in a warmer climate, while strongly deepening cyclones deepen more. Similarly, the average cyclone becomes less intense in a warmer climate, while the extremely intense cyclones become more intense. Both results hold true for cyclones with genesis in the vicinity of the SST front and elsewhere. The mean cyclone lifetime decreases, while it increases for those cyclones downstream of the SST front. The mean poleward displacement between genesis and maximum intensity increases for the most intense cyclones, while averaged over all cyclones there is a mild reduction and the result depends on the definition of the displacement. Finally, the number of cyclones decreases by approximately 15 %. Aquaplanet simulations with a localized SST front thus provide an enriched picture of storm track dynamics and associated changes with warming.

Od teologii objawienia do teologii natchnienia. Studium inspirowane twórczością Geralda O’Collinsa i Josepha Ratzingera
Authors: Zatwardnicki Sławomir
Published: May 2022

Kluczowe zagadnienia podjęte w studium, a również jego cel, zostały wyznaczone tytułem: Od teologii objawienia do teologii natchnienia. Teologiczne opracowanie doktryny natchnienia (część druga niniejszego studium), ze względu na jej podporządkowanie koncepcji objawienia (por. struktura Dei verbum), wymagało wyjścia od teologii objawienia (część pierwsza). W prezentacji teologii objawienia skorzystaliśmy ze spuścizny teologów wymienionych w podtytule rozprawy: Studium inspirowane twórczością Geralda O’Collinsa i Josepha Ratzingera. W pierwszej części pracy dominował proces analizy i syntezy danych pozytywnych – w dorobku teologów australijskiego i niemieckiego znaleźliśmy kluczowe dla doktryny natchnienia kwestie, które zostały zebrane w podrozdziale 3.3. Zebrano w nim zarówno twierdzenia o natchnieniu wyrażone explicite przez O’Collinsa i Ratzingera, jak i wynikające implicite z treści zaprezentowanych w dwóch pierwszych rozdziałach poświęconych objawieniu. Ten „wspólny mianownik” dorobku badaczy niezależnych od siebie stał się dla nas podstawą dla spekulatywno-teologicznej refleksji prowadzonej w części drugiej, która dokonywała się jednak przez cały czas niejako w cieniu części pierwszej. Dzięki temu udało się stworzyć autorski przyczynek do teologii natchnienia zainspirowany wnioskami wyprowadzonymi z dorobku O’Collinsa i Ratzingera.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS): Review of the Literature
Authors: Ahmed Abass Mahamoud , Hussein Dahir , s Daror Abdirizak
Published: May 2022

Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common chronic sleep disorder. As the incidence of OSAHS increases, it has seriously threatened people's health. It causes significant morbidity and mortality in both developed and developing countries around the world. However, clinical trials of OSAHS have heterogeneous outcomes, surrogate outcomes, subjective outcomes, composite outcomes, and a lack of endpoints or patient perspectives. The diagnosis is confirmed by a sleep study. The main treatment for OSAS is the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) at night via a nasal or oronasal mask, which usually results in rapid improvement of symptoms. Patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy can be successfully treated with a mandibular advancement device. Supportive measures include regular and sufficiently long sleep periods, refraining from smoking and alcohol consumption in the evening, and weight reduction in overweight patients.

Keywords: Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, continuous positive airway pressure, apnea-hypopnea index.

Published: May 2022

This study evaluates tax rate chargeable on landed properties in Tafa Local Government Area of Niger State, Nigeria, with a view to providing relevant information on the potentials of the tax as a source of local revenue generation which can be used for the provision of services and amenities. Data for this study was sourced from the records of landed properties assessed for taxation, tax rate chargeable and record of property tax collections available in the local government official records. Tables were used in analyzing and presenting the result for the study. The result of the study shows that tax rate chargeable on landed properties range from as low as N2, 000 to N120, 000. The result also indicates that there were different types of landed property tax collected in Tafa Local Government Area, such as title registration fee, tenement rate, survey fee, approval of building plan, ground rent, and change of land use. The study also shows that there are different types of landed properties on which tax is collected in Tafa Local Government Area. They include residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational and educational properties. There has been increased tax collection on landed properties in the study area from 2013–2016 due to more compliance and development of landed properties within the period. It is recommended that the local government administration should embark on a land ownership registration programme and automation of databases on landed property, establishment of an awareness forum by the local government where taxpayers would be sensitized and enlightened on the importance of land tax, and ensure proper valuation of landed properties for taxation.
Tvang i psykisk helsevern: En sammenligning av holdninger blant pasienter og ansatte
Authors: Lydersen Guri Sjøtun , Morken Marte , Aasland Olaf , Pedersen Reidar , Husum Tonje Lossius
Published: May 2022

Aim: Few studies have compared attitudes to coercion in both patients and healthcare professionals, and the Staff Attitude to Coercion Scale (SACS) has not previously been used in Norway. The purpose of the current study was to examine differences in staff and patient attitudes using SACS.

Method: The study included 1160 employees and 332 patients. Factor analysis was used to compare SACS’s three-factor model across the two groups. Independent t-tests were used to compare staff and patient attitudes on the three SACS dimensions: coercion as potentially offensive and/or harmful to the patient, coercion as care and safety, and coercion as treatment.

Results: We found statistically significant differences between staff and patients’ reported attitudes on two SACS dimensions. Patients reported coercion as more offensive and/or harmful than did with staff (t (495) = 7.96, p <.001). Staff reported coercion as care and safety to a higher degree than did patients (t (444) = -5.91, p <.001).

Conclusion: The results suggest the presence of attitudinal differences between patients and staff. One limitation of the study is that SACS has not been validated for use by patients. Generally, the results imply a discrepancy in attitudes that may lead to a weak treatment alliance between staff and patients.

Keywords: coercion, mental health care, ethical challenges, SACS, staff-patient alliance
The Temenidae, Who Came Out of Argos. Literary Sources and Numismatic Evidence on the Macedonian Dynastic Traditions / Temenidzi, którzy przybyli z Argos. Macedońskie tradycje dynastyczne w źródłach literackich i świadectwach numizmatycznych
Authors: Sprawski Sławomir
Published: May 2022

The prevailing opinion is that, at least from Alexander I onwards, Macedonian rulers attached a lot of importance to the tradition of their Argive origin. There are also suggestions that various images placed on royal coins refer to the mythical founder of the dynasty and his foreign origin. But a review of these images does not provide convincing arguments to justify the above-mentioned opinion. The preserved fragments of poetry dedicated to Alexander I seem to speak rather in favor of his interest in the Trojan myth. If the Argive origin of the royal family is so strongly emphasized by Herodotus, Thucydides, and Euripides, then perhaps the “establishment” of the genealogical ties of the Macedonian kings with Temenidae of Argos took place in Athens. The Greek authors presented the Macedonian rulers with versions of the mythical past of their family linked to Greek tradition. But there is not much to indicate that the predecessors of Alexander the Great attached particular importance to them.

Se revisaron las discusiones bioéticas asociadas a los desafíos y las repercusiones que suscita su aplicación. Como resultado, los cuestionamientos bioéticos tienden a problematizar la aplicación en organismos no humanos, en la investigación básica y en la línea somática y germinal humana. Para concluir, falta incrementar los niveles de seguridad y efectividad para que los beneficios superen los riesgos y, de esta forma, sea posible disminuir las preocupaciones bioéticas y aumentar la credibilidad en el uso de la técnica.
Field Theory in Contemporary Gestalt Therapy Part Two: Paradoxical Theory of Change Reconsidered
Authors: Roubal Jan , Francesetti Gianni
Published: May 2022

Conceptualization of change processes presents a significant source of therapist’s self-support in demanding clinical situations. Three perspectives on understanding the process of change used in Gestalt therapy are set forth in a systematic way: mono-personal, bi-personal, and field theory. Changes in psychotherapy in clinical practice, conceptualized from a field theory perspective, are addressed in order to support both the growing edge of contemporary Gestalt therapy and to add a Gestalt therapy contribution to the current emphasis on field theory in psychotherapy. The Paradoxical Theory of Change, as the leading theoretical concept for Gestalt therapy theory of change, is reconsidered from a field theory perspective, and the consequences for clinical work are addressed.
Case Formulation in Gestalt Therapy
Authors: Šromová Veronika , Roubal Jan
Published: May 2022

Case formulation is a frequently used therapeutic tool that helps the therapist develop a better understanding of the client’s situation. Core concepts are strategies applied when sorting information about a client, assessing the importance of specific areas and taking appropriate actions in the therapeutic process. Although the area of case formulation has been explored in many other therapeutic approaches, there is a lack of deeper evidence on its use in the Gestalt approach. This article presents a qualitative research study that uses grounded theory for analyzing interviews with eleven Gestalt therapists. The resulting process model represents a theoretical conclusion about Gestalt therapists’ procedures in formulating clients’ cases. The research findings are discussed with the existing findings about the process of case formulation within Gestalt therapy and other therapeutic approaches. The outcome case formulation model can be helpful for practice, training, and supervision.

¿Es precipitado aún hablar del impacto e implicancias éticas del transhumanismo para la Psicología?
Authors: Pérez Ayala Manuel
Published: May 2022

Este artículo propone una revisión crítica sobre los alcances del transhumanismo en la esfera de la Psicología. Para ello, se expondrán antecedentes y se definirá lo que se entiende por transhumanismo y el resultado de éste, denominado poshumanismo. A través de características humanas tan básicas y diversas como la cognición, el sufrimiento y la identidad, se discute sobre los inéditos cambios que la ejecución y logro de las propuestas transhumanistas significarían para la sociedad, el cómo la psicología podría prever y anticipar un escenario así de radical, y la necesidad y urgencia de nuevas teorías éticas que ayuden a comprender los fenómenos en cuestión.

Me enfoco aquí en los principales contraargumentos que han sido erigidos en contra de una tesis que postulé en mi artículo “Nietzsche, the Overhuman, and the Transhumanims” (2009a), según la cual se pueden encontrar similitudes significativas en un nivel fundamental entre el concepto de posthumano, tal como es sostenido por algunos transhumanistas, y el concepto de Nietzsche de sobrehumano. Los artículos con los contraargumentos fueron publicados en el reciente apartado de la Journal of Evolution and Technology “Nietzsche and European Posthumanisms” (junio-julio 2010). Como varios comentadores se han referido a problemas idénticos, he decidido que no sería apropiado responder a cada artículo individualmente, sino enfocarme en los argumentos centrales y lidiar con los contraargumentos mencionados en las diferentes réplicas. Me ocupo de cada tópico en una sección separada. Las secciones se titulan como sigue: 1. Tecnología y evolución; 2. Superando el nihilismo; 3. Política y liberalismo; 4. ¿Utilitarismo o ética virtuosa?; 5. La vida buena; 6. Creatividad y voluntad de poder; 7. Inmortalidad y longevidad; 8. Logocentrismo; 9. El tercer Reich. Cuando me ocupo con cada tópico, no sólo estoy respondiendo a los contraargumentos; también erijo interrogantes concernientes al transhumanismo y postulo mis propios puntos de vista en relación con algunas de las interrogantes con las que estoy lidiando.

Con el objetivo de determinar los principales parámetros poblacionales de la tortuga verde del Pacifico este (Chelonia mydasagassizii) el Instituto del Mar del Perú (IMARPE), mediante el Laboratorio Costero de Pisco, a partir del 2010 empezó las investigaciones biológicas en tortugas marinas, a través de monitoreos acuáticos en la ensenada de la Aguada, en Bahía Paracas, Pisco. Durante el periodo 2010- 2017 se determinó el largo curvo del caparazón (LCC), presentando promedio de 58,4 ± 7,9 cm (rango: 40,9 - 84,5 cm, n=438) con 88,7% de juveniles y 11,3% de sub-adultos. Estas tallas son las menores registradas en el Pacifico este para la especie. El número promedio de tortugas capturadas por km de red tendida por hora fue 1,03 ±1,23 (rango: 0 - 5,9, n=83). Los principales epibiontes capturados fueron de origen costero - nerítico: Platylepas hexastylos (40,5%, n=570), Stephanolepas muricata (13,4%, n=189), Conchoderma virgatum (13,1%, n=184), Ozobranchus margoi (12,9%, n=181), Chelonibia testudinaria (10,3%, n=145), y también de origen pelágico – oceánico: Lepas anatifera (8,5%, n=120), Planes cyaneus(0,8%, n=11) y Remora remora (0,6%, n=7). Se evidencia la gran importancia de Paracas como una exclusiva zona de reclutamiento desde zonas oceánicas. Durante lo que va del proyecto (2010 – 2017) se realizaron 46 recapturas, de las cuales 41 fueron juveniles y 5 sub-adultos, también se reportaron 5 triples recapturas (todos juveniles). La residencia en el área, expresada en el número promedio de días utilizados por la especie en el área de alimentación fue de 306,2 ± 166,9 días (rango: 170 - 708, n=26), la tasa de crecimiento fue de 7,4 ± 2,8 cm/año (rango: 2,0 – 11,7, n=26), ambos análisis se realizaron considerando recapturas mayores a 170 días. El índice de condición corporal (BCI) promedio por año y por estadio fue mayor en juveniles (1,49) con respecto a los sub-adultos (1,43). La mayoría de los parámetros poblacionales fueron favorables, lasaltas tasas de crecimiento y de BCI en conjunto con las bajas tasas de recapturas demuestran que esta es una población grande, saludable y con posibles bajos niveles de endogamia. Paradójicamente es preocupante que aun subsistan capturas incidentales y dirigidas en la zona, por lo que son necesarias y urgentes las medidas de conservación y fiscalización en la zona de Pisco - Paracas.
Contribución de las ondas Kelvin a las anomalías térmicas de las aguas costeras frente al Perú durante El Niño 2015 -2016 y el Niño Costero 2017

Se analizó el efecto de los forzantes remotos (ondas Kelvin) y locales (vientos) sobre la estructura térmica de la columna de agua frente a la costa norte y centro de Perú para El Niño Costero 2017. Este escenario se comparó con El Niño 2015-2016. El análisis de los datos de la anomalía del nivel del mar y temperatura tanto en el Pacifico Ecuatorial como en la franja costera peruana, permitió estimar la velocidad de propagación de la onda atrapada a la costa durante ambos eventos. En base a los datos de temperatura subsuperficial en estaciones fijas costeras (≤100 m) ubicadas frente a Paita (5,06°S), Chicama (7,82°S) y Callao (12,03°S) se determinó, para El Niño Costero 2017, anomalías de la temperatura en la capa superficial (<30 m) de hasta +7 °C en el verano, asociadas principalmente al debilitamiento de los vientos alisios del sudeste y, en segundo lugar, al arribo de las ondas Kelvin de hundimiento. Por su parte, durante El Niño 2015-2016, que lo precedió, en las mismas estaciones y durante el verano se presentaron anomalías de temperatura de hasta +6 °C en una capa sobre 100 m, pero solo asociado al arribo de las ondas Kelvin de hundimiento generadas en el Pacifico Ecuatorial. Los resultados muestran que durante El Niño Costero 2017, la variación de los vientos zonal y meridional frente al Golfo de Guayaquil y la costa norte de Perú guardaron estrecha relación con el calentamiento anómalo en la capa superficial. Se propone que los cambios durante los años 2015-2016(El Niño 2015-2016, seguido de La Niña 2016), reflejados en la secuencia de ondas Kelvin de hundimiento y afloramiento, junto al debilitamiento del Anticiclón del Pacifico Sur, contribuyeron a la generación de El Niño Costero 2017. Los resultados confirman la ubicación estratégica de las estaciones fijas costeras para el estudio de las manifestaciones oceanográficas de El Niño en el Pacífico Tropical Sudeste y, en particular destacan el área frente al Golfo de Guayaquil y a la costa norte de Perú como clave para monitorear la variabilidad de los vientos locales e identificar eventos similares a El Niño Costero 2017.
The Case of Stopping the Attack on the Right to Personality in Turkish Law
Authors: TUĞ LEVENT Gaye
Published: May 2022

The rights that a person has just because he/she is a human are personality rights. Personality is acquired together with the right and full birth in Turkish law. The right over all the values that make up the personality is characterized as the right of personality. With birth, each person acquires personality and becomes a direct owner of personality rights as well. Personality rights are rights that are absolute rights that can be asserted against everyone. Article 24 of the Turkish Civil Code (TCC) has deemed all attacks on the right to personality unlawful. TCC has not counted the individual values of the right to personality. It is left to the discretion of the judge what will be evaluated within the scope of personality right in accordance with the developing technology and increasing needs. Since personality rights are closely related rights to the person, it is not possible to transfer them to others or give them up. Since attacks on the right to personality are unlawful, cases protecting the right to personality are regulated in Article 25 of the TCC. In Turkish law, cases protecting the right to personality are cases of preventing, stopping and detecting an attack on the right to personality. Depending on the stage reached by the attack in the violation of the right of personality, it is determined which protective case should be opened. A stop lawsuit should be filed against the unjustified attack on the right to personality that has begun and is ongoing. The goal is to eliminate the existing attack. In this study, the legal elements that are necessary to open the case to stop the attack on personal rights are examined. If the attack has ended, but the effects continue, there will be no legal benefit in opening this case. Therefore, the correct analysis of the attack on the right to personality from the legal point of view will allow to obtain a positive result in the case of stopping.

This study examined extracurricular activities in the broader personal development: Reflections from Youth in Public Secondary Schools. Specifically, the study examined the contribution of extracurricular in the areas of leadership, sexual reproductive health, and good academic performance in public secondary schools in Muheza and Korogwe districts in the Tanga region, Tanzania. The study was qualitative which adopted the interpretive paradigm. Data were collected through focused group discussions from 160 secondary school students who experienced extracurricular activities in their school environment. Grounded theory methodology was used to analyze the data collected. The study findings revealed that extracurricular contribute to leadership as it builds youth with leadership skills, teach youth to volunteer, and inform youth that leadership is about having agenda. Additionally,  the study exposed that extra-curricular activities are important in educating the youth on sexual reproductive health as they learn about their bodies,  hygiene at puberty age, being unastonished by the biological changes but also extracurricular help youth to manage risk sexual behavior. With regards to good academic performance, the study revealed that extracurricular are for academic benefits, as it aspires to academic discussion and has minimized students' truancy. The study concludes that Extracurricular influences secondary school youth's development as it exposes them to environments translating into real situations affecting their wellbeing. Through extracurricular students can explore their environment, encouraging innovations and building creativity with very minimal resources.  Additionally, extracurricular activities have proved to have a positive behavior outcomes such as academic performance in the school-age stage and occupational status and income in adulthood. The study suggests that the government should translate extracurricular activities from documents to actions and give equal weight to both classroom and non-classroom activities. The extracurricular activities balance the existing gap between soft and hard skills. That extracurricular helps youth to address challenges they face in their daily life. Extracurricular found to be of interest to students because it all connected to people’s character and it is widely applicable to most areas. While hard skills help an individual to enter a job market, soft skills guarantee job opportunities and further career growth.

Sedition law is being talked again. People are filing cases over cases and coming out on street to protest insisting that the accused be arrested immediately in the case of Amnesty International India. Another case has been booked against the Ramya, the ex-Parliamentarian, for making a statement with respect to Pakistan. These cases raise larger questions on free speech and expression in a democratic nation.
