Published: August 2022

The purpose of this study was to explore how Junior High School (JHS) 1 students solve word-problems in Mathematics. A total of 112 JHS 1 students were purposively selected from 41 public basic schools in the Akatsi South District of Ghana. Interview guide and test items comprising questions on word-problems in Mathematics on “Fractions”, “Perimeter” and “Area” were used to collect data. Percentages and frequency distribution tables as well as descriptive statistics (mean, mode, median and standard deviations) were used for data analysis. It was found that most of the students were able to read the word-problems in Mathematics but a majority of them could not read the concept names correctly. It was also found that a majority of the students could not solve the word-problems in Mathematics (fractions, perimeter and area) correctly resulting in very low performance. It is recommended that the Institute of Education, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education in Ghana, should include problem-solving skills in Mathematics as a course in the curriculum of Colleges of Education in the country. The Institute of Education should collaborate with the Ghana Education Service to organize inservice training programmes for teachers to equip them with the skills and strategies needed to enforce the teaching and learning of Mathematics using problem-solving approach.

Introduction: Obesity is a chronic disease not sufficiently diagnosed and treated. It presents pandemic prevalence rates and represents a significant demand for the health system. Objectives: To investigate the perception of the graduates in nutrition and physicians on the level of education regarding obesity received in the undergraduate courses at public and private universities of the Republic of Argentina. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical observational study was conducted, analyzing data from 378 questionnaires via google forms. Results: 378 professionals surveyed, 205 graduates in nutrition (54,2%) and 173 physicians (45,8%). 5 out of 10 professionals reported a low or medium level of education in relation to obesity prevention (27,4% and 25,3%, respectively); their diagnosis (27,1% and 27,3%, respectively) and their treatment by dietotherapy and physical exercise (29,0 and 25,3%, respectively). 8 out of 10 professionals reported a zero or low level of education in relation to the pharmacological treatment of obesity (46,2% and 31,53%, respectively) and its surgical treatment (49.9% and 27,7%, respectively). The level of education categorized as "high" had a maximum response rate of only 12,7% (relative to diagnosis of obesity). The surveyed population perceives a higher educational level as the time of discharge decreases. Almost all respondents believe that post-graduate training on obesity is necessary. Conclusions: These results show low levels of education on obesity. Although recent graduates would have a higher level of training in comparison with many years ago, the general perception is of a lack of training that could have an impact on the quality of the obesity treatment. The results of this study could be used to provide recommendations and strategies for undergraduate education at universities in our country. Keywords: Nutrition Education; Obesity.

Four compositions of spinel NixBa1-xFe2O4 of x =0, 0.05, 0.01, and 0.15 were prepared by the auto-combustion route. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analyses were utilized to determine the structural properties. All samples showed a cubic spinel structure with a noticeable FTIR tetrahedral band blue shift as the molar ratio x was increased. The crystallite size and particle size have the same behavior as x changed from 0 to 0.15. Spherical nanoparticles aggregated into large clusters were found throughout the samples. Magnetic properties, displayed a drop in magnetization saturation as x increased to its max value. A saturation magnetization (Ms) of more than 48 emu/g was achieved at x = 0 and x = 0.15 while the coercivity did not change clearly. The fitting by the Langevin equation using Originlab software showed very close values of Ms to those measured by the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) test. Magnetic parameters are generally affected by both composition and particle size.

In this paper, silica aerogel was doped with two laser dyes, Crystal violet and Rhodamine B, dissolved in ethanol. All samples were prepared in two different ways, with different concentrations and compared with non-doped prepared aerogel. The first way is the modification after the samples are converted to gel. The second way, the modification procedure, starts by adding the modified solution to the sol. TEOS was used as a precursor in two-step acid-base catalysis, and the silanol group trimethylchlorosilane + n-hexane was used as a surface modification. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm, and contact angle measurements compared the characterization and structural properties of the two dyes. Results indicate that crystal violet gives better than Rhodamine B, as the contact angle measurement was 153°, total pour volume was 1.066 cm3/gm and the surface area was more significant than 970 m2/gm. While for Rhodamine B, the maximum contact angle was 146°, and the largest surface area was 899 m2/gm. And total pour volume was 1.6 cm3/gm.

Fingerprint based human identification is one of the authentic biometric recognition systems due to the permanence and uniqueness of the finger impressions. There is the extensive usage of fingerprint recognition in personalized electronic devices, security systems, banking, forensic labs, and especially in law enforcement agencies. Although the existing systems can recognize fingerprints, they lack in case of poor quality and latent fingerprints. The latent fingerprints are captured by law enforcement agencies during the crime scene to find the criminal. Consequently, it is essential to develop a novel system that can efficiently recognize both complete and latent fingerprints. The current work proposes an efficient Gravitational Search Decision Forest (GSDF) method, which is a combination of the gravitational search algorithm (GSA) and the random forest (RF) method. In the proposed GSDF approach, the mass agent of GSA determines the solution by constructing decision trees in accordance with the random forest hypothesis. The recognition of the fingerprints is accomplished by mass agents in the form of a final generated decision forest from the set of hypothesis space as the mass agents can create multiple hypotheses using random proportional rules. The experiments for fingerprint recognition are conducted for both the latent fingerprints (NIST SD27 dataset) and the complete fingerprints (FVC2004 dataset). The effectiveness of the proposed GSDF approach is analyzed by evaluating the results with machine learning classifiers (random forest, decision tree, back propagation neural networks, and k-nearest neighbor) as well. The comparative analysis of the proposed approach and incorporated machine learning classifiers indicates the outperformed performance of the proposed approach.

Published: August 2022

The research is interested in studying the thermal property of the composite material because of its importance in the thermal uses of composite materials. The composite material was prepared with different amounts of kaolin (0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.8 g) in (polyacrylamide -kaolin) composite. Its thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity were studied. Taguchi Array L25(5^2), factors 2, Runs 25, columns 25(5^6) Array 12, was used as an experimental design and 25 samples were prepared using this array. The results improved that the thermal conductivity of the composite material decreases with a high kaolin amount toward temperature increase. Moreover, a case with the composite material's specific heat capacity. The current research describes using Taguchi experimental design to select the optimal factor level from the process to get a maximum thermal conductivity of composite material. The basis for choosing the orthogonal matrix is to take each of the different quantities of kaolin (0,0.2, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.8g) at different temperatures. Taguchi program is applied to the combination of factors and their levels. Besides, the output parameter representing thermal conductivity of (polyacrylamide – kaolin) composite with repetition to the given input parameters using smaller the better. The test results show the factor that influences the amount of kaolin (0.2g), and temperature(70°C). By using the factor and its level, thermal conductivity is (0.428 w· m-1· °C-1).

SSCB'nin çöküşü ve yirminci yüzyılın 90'lı yıllarında bir devlet olarak varlığının sona ermesi sonucunda, milyonlarca yurttaş, kendilerini yeni kurulan bağımsız devletlerde ulusal azınlıklar konumunda buldu. Rusya Federasyonu dışında, Rusça konuşan nüfus, zor bir siyasi, ekonomik, kültürel ve psikolojik durumla karşı karşıya kaldı, ancak ulusal kimliklerini, kültürlerini ve dillerini korudu. Rusça konuşan etnik grubun önemli bir bölümünün yaşadığı Sovyet sonrası alanın bölgelerinden biri, Orta Asya'dır. Bu çalışma, Sovyet öncesi ve sonrası dönemde Özbekistan, Kazakistan, Türkmenistan ve Kırgızistan'daki Rus nüfusunun büyüklük ve coğrafya dinamiğinin analizini içermektedir. Bugün Orta Asya'da yaklaşık 4,7-4,8 milyon Rus’un yaşadığı düşünülürken bu nüfusun sayısı SSCB'nin çöküşünden sonra yarı yarıya düşmüştür. Rus nüfusunun 3/4'ünden fazlası, demografik düşüş oranının asgari olduğu Kazakistan'da yoğunlaşmıştır. Türkmenistan, Rusya'nın kültürel etki alanını terk ederken, Özbekistan ve Kırgızistan Rus kültür ve uygarlık alanını terk etme konusunda diğer Orta Asya Türk cumhuriyetleri ile aynı yönde hareket etmektedir. Bu çalışma sonucunda Sovyet sonrası bölgede bağımsızlığını kazanan devletlerin, Rusya'dan bağımsız ulusal kimlik oluşturma arayışı içinde olduğu, Rusça konuşan nüfusun Orta Asya'nın yeni bağımsız devletlerinden kitlesel kaçışı ile Rus nüfusun azaldığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
AMAZÔNIA EM CHAMAS E UMA NOVA CIDADANIA ECOLÓGICA GLOBAL
Authors: Klanovicz Jo
Published: August 2022

O mês de agosto de 2019 reposicionou a Amazônia no centro da política internacional devido à existência de mais de 80 mil focos de incêndios em áreas desmatadas ou de pasto, especialmente no Brasil e na Bolívia, e que criaram fumaça que atingiu o centro sul do Brasil, mas também Peru e Equador. e New York Times mostrou que parte das queimadas na Amazônia brasileira foi organizada por meio de mensagens de whatsapp trocadas entre agropecuaristas do estado do Pará. A ação coordenada por whatsapp pode ser entendida como o manifesto materializado do setor contra o que o governo brasileiro de ultradireita chama de “inimigos do país”, entre eles ambientalistas, organizações não-governamentais, a Europa decadente, os cientistas, as universidades, as mulheres, os indígenas, os negros e os pobres. Outra constatação, a da expansão desenfreada do desmatamento da Amazônia brasileira colocou em rota de colisão um dos mais respeitados cientistas brasileiros, Ricardo Galvão, então diretor do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE), e o presidente da república. Na queda de braço assimétrica entre a violência estatal e o discurso científico, Galvão foi exonerado da direção do instituto, comprovando as suspeitas internacionais de que o Brasil começara a perseguir cientistas.

Discurso, ideologia e ensino de espanhol: a construção dos espaços no livro Gente
Authors: Sokolowicz Laura
Published: August 2022

O presente estudo analisa o modo como são projetados e significados os espaços e territórios no livro didático Gente (2007), e pretende contribuir com professores de ELE (espanhol língua estrangeira) na seleção crítica de materiais para suas aulas. Duas perguntas organizam o trabalho: o que se anuncia na Introdução do livro? Como se realiza o anunciado? À luz do dispositivo teórico-analítico da Análise do Discurso (PÊCHEUX 1997 [1969], 2009 [1975]), que vê o discurso na sua forma material (linguística e histórica) e as práticas linguageiras como espaços onde o político e o ideológico ganham destaque, observamos que, se na Introdução anunciam-se regiões, sociedades e culturas onde se fala “o espanhol” – operando um reconhecimento da heterogeneidade do mundo hispânico –, a realização no interior do livro fica longe de abordá-las, construindo em seu lugar uma centralidade da Espanha, na verdade, de uma imagem da Espanha afetada por um processo de generalização/indeterminação.

Multidrug-resistant bacteria: a national challenge requiring urgent addressal
Authors: Kim Nam Joong
Published: August 2022

Background: Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections are a worldwide threat owing to their increased prevalence, and poor prognosis due to inadequate antibacterial drugs.Current Concepts: Until 2019, several new antibacterial agents, targeting gram-positive bacteria—including telavancin, oritavancin, dalbavancin, ceftaroline, lefamulin, and delafloxacin—had been approved for use in the United States and Europe. Newer antibiotics targeting gram-negative bacteria include ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-cilastatin-relebactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, cefiderocol, eravacycline, and plazomicin. The guidance on the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria by the Infectious Diseases Society of America, published in February 2022, recommend the use of new antibacterial agents recently approved. However these drugs have not yet been introduced in Korea, thus impeding their prescription by physicians. Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections demonstrably contribute to a high mortality rate and socioeconomic burden.Discussion and Conclusion: Considering the societal impact of antibiotic resistance, the government should monitor and encourage antimicrobial stewardship to reduce the prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, and hasten the introduction of new antibacterial agents for treating multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in Korea.
Antibiotics for multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria
Authors: Kang Cheol-In
Published: August 2022

Background: Increase in antimicrobial-resistant bacteria continues to be challenge to physicians. Particularly, multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacilli (GNB), such as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producers and carbapenem-resistant pathogens, are becoming a major human health problem globally.Current Concepts: Gram-negative bacteria have developed resistance via mechanisms encoding AmpC beta-lactamases, ESBLs, and carbapenemases. The therapeutic options available for these pathogens are extremely limited. Infection by MDR bacteria is associated with ineffective antimicrobial therapy, which poses a major threat to the survival of patients with serious infections. Physicians should be familiar with the local epidemiology of MDR bacterial infections and the available therapeutic options. Carbapenems are considered as the drugs of choice for treating ESBL or AmpC-producers. However, increased use of carbapenems in response to an increased prevalence of MDR pathogens could be associated with the rapid emergence of carbapenem resistance. Therefore, there is an ongoing quest for carbapenem-sparing regimens for the treatment of MDR-GNB. Treatment of MDR-GNB infections need not be limited to carbapenems as novel antimicrobial agents are now available.Discussion and Conclusion: This comprehensive review aims to describe therapeutic options available for MDR-GNB infections in Korea, a country with a high prevalence of MDR pathogens. Recently developed antimicrobial agents that should be urgently introduced in Korea include ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftazidime-avibactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, imipenem-relebactam, and cefiderocol. These drugs have been shown to be effective against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii.
Entre o risco e o desastre: uma análise conceitual dos múltiplos componentes envoltos em uma complexa equação
Authors: Lima Antônio Marcos Mendonça , Monteiro Jander Barbosa
Published: August 2022

O risco é inerente ao ser humano e o acompanha desde sempre, seja individualmente ou em sociedade. É uma constatação inquietante, pois, atualmente, além do risco existe a possibilidade dos desastres. Estudar os eventos adversos é um desafio, considerando a grande diversidade conceitual. Este trabalho é uma proposta de análise das terminologias mais comumente utilizadas em escritas sociológicas, geográficas e institucionais. Em meio a tantas abordagens é necessário compreender como os riscos, os perigos e ameaças permeiam a vida na sociedade atual. O ser humano corre risco(s) desde que nasce. A existência humana pode ser considerada o fundamento do risco. O contraponto das ideias aqui expostas compõe o debate e aclara o sentido sobre as ambiguidades e equívocos relacionados ao(s) risco(s) e ao(s) desastre(s). O risco fundamenta a discussão devido seu caráter polissêmico e vasto, ele é o aglutinador temático. Contudo, o ser humano é quem dá sentido aos eventos adversos extremos. O Homem é sujeito da reflexibilidade na sociedade global, pois os acontecimentos arriscados e desastrosos só se configuram pela presença humana. A vulnerabilidade determina o grau de severidade pela exposição a um evento perigoso. Também pode-se entender que a resiliência é a superação e a contraposição à vulnerabilidade. Certamente, muito se produziu em favor do entendimento dos eventos relacionados ao risco, porém, não se conseguiu nas diversas áreas do conhecimento, equacionar ou eliminar a complexidade adjunta.
Avaliação de impactos ambientais causados pela extração de argila para a indústria ceramista na região de Monte Carmelo - MG
Authors: Fonseca Lays De Oliveira , Morais Ismarley Lage Horta
Published: August 2022

Monte Carmelo-MG foi conhecida nacionalmente e internacionalmente como a cidade das telhas ou cidade das chaminés por causa da grande qualidade de seus artefatos cerâmicos, chegando a possuir cerca de 40 indústrias cerâmicas instaladas. A extração da argila vermelha, utilizada como matéria-prima, é realizada a céu aberto, com lavra por desmonte mecânico que ocorre, na maioria das vezes, por mineradoras de pequeno porte. Para essa atividade, a vegetação deve ser eliminada, a superfície do solo fica exposta e podem ser gerados diversos impactos ambientais negativos, tais como a erosão na área de extração de argila, o assoreamento de rios, a poluição do ar por fumaça e partículas e danos ocasionados a biota devido ao ruído. Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi a avaliação de impactos ambientais causados pela extração de argila vermelha, através de técnicas de geoprocessamento e visitas aos locais das jazidas. Também foi realizada uma avaliação de uma série temporal dos anos de 2012, 2016 e 2018 para identificação do avanço da extração em uma fazenda que contém jazidas desde o auge da extração no município, na década de 1990. Foram observados locais sem a recuperação adequada das áreas degradadas, alteração da topografia e presença de áreas alagadas que podem indicar a interceptação do aquífero e maior possibilidade de contaminação da água. Mesmo assim, a avaliação da série temporal indicou uma taxa de ampliação da área de extração de até 5979 m2/ano em uma jazida ativa na região.

O artigo tem como objetivo realizar o mapeamento da vulnerabilidade ambiental do município de Eunápolis, situado no Território de Identidade da Costa do Descobrimento, no sul do estado da Bahia. Para elaboração do índice de vulnerabilidade ambiental de Eunápolis foi aplicado, individualmente, o modelo para os temas geologia, solo, uso e ocupação do solo, clima e geomorfologia referente a unidade territorial básica do município e, em seguida, realizado o procedimento de união desses temas para a definição do mapa síntese de vulnerabilidade ambiental do município. Os indices apresentados nesta pesquisa variaram de 1 a 3, sendo que os valores mais próximos a 1 são menos vulneráveis e os mais próximos a 3 os mais vulneráveis. O processamento dos dados foi feito no software QGis e todo o plano de informação foi georreferenciado no sistema de projeção geográfica Universal Transversa de Mercator (UTM) Fuso 24 Sul, Datum SIRGAS 2000. A análise do mapa mostrou que 94,97% do território encontra-se em área moderadamente estável ou medianamente estável vulnerável, enquanto que 3,4% do território encontra-se em área moderadamente vulnerável. A espacialização das classes de vulnerabilidade ambiental em Eunápolis mostrou que os maiores índices correspondem as áreas urbanas do município.

Authors: Pereira Valéria Rodrigues
Published: August 2022

A presente proposta destaca o conhecimento dos acadêmicos construídos durante o curso de licenciatura em Geografia, especialmente no contexto do ensino remoto, provocados pela situação de pandemia decorrente da COVID-19. A formação docente, por meio da licenciatura consiste em processo essencial para o exercício da profissão, no qual conhecimentos específicos do campo disciplinar e conhecimentos pedagógicos se encontram. Entre os inúmeros trabalhos voltados para os conhecimentos dos professores, o estudo de Shulman (2014), apontou a existência de uma Base de Conhecimentos docente originária de quatro fontes: formação acadêmica nas áreas de conhecimento; materiais e o entorno do processo educacional; pesquisas no âmbito da educação e; sabedoria que emerge da prática de ensino. Dentre as fontes, destacamos, a formação acadêmica, por constituir o pilar inicial na Base de Conhecimento e enfatizar o conhecimento do conteúdo específico da disciplina. Nesse sentido, por meio de pesquisa qualitativa, objetivamos compreender na formação dos graduandos do curso de licenciatura em Geografia da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, campus de Três Lagoas, o conjunto de conhecimentos envolvidos nesse processo, com ênfase no espaço geográfico e sua abordagem para ensino. A pesquisa, ainda em fase inicial, tem a preocupação de contribuir com a educação de maneira geral, fortalecer a discussão sobre a construção profissional do professor de Geografia, mesmo em circunstâncias adversas, como o contexto de pandemia que trouxe um ensino remoto emergencial e, ainda, somar ao debate e reflexões sobre a geografia acadêmica e escolar.

Published: August 2022

A study of the composition of the soil cover of the territory of the state nature reserve "Tsimlyansky" was conducted in order to track the state of the ecosystem by the main processes of soil formation and indicators of the state of vegetation cover: humus accumulation, the formation of a differentiated profile, projective coverage and the presence of loose sands. The field stage of the study was carried out with the laying of soil sections on sites reflecting the main forms of meso- and microrelief. Samples from each genetic horizon were selected in soil sections for laboratory study of granulometric composition, humus content, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content. According to remote sensing data, an assessment of the depth of groundwater occurrence was carried out, a digital relief model and a surface runoff model were built to track probable zones of water erosion of sands. According to the multispectral survey by SWIR-NIR-RED channel synthesis, the areas of loose and loosely anchored sands during the growing season were estimated, the danger of deflationary destruction of the sand massif was estimated. Based on the data obtained, maps of groundwater occurrence, surface runoff and loose sands are constructed. The results of the conducted studies allow us to conclude that the level of resistance to erosion processes is safe for the ecosystem, however, the safety margin of the measures carried out decades ago is approaching a dangerous level, which requires the planting of new protective forests and shrubs to restore the most effective sand retention system.

Toplumsal Cinsiyet Eşitsizliği: Kadın ve Kentsel Mekân
Authors: CUMUR Şeyda , TOPÇU Kadriye
Published: August 2022

Kadının kentsel mekândaki hareket özgürlüğü, görünürlüğü ve mekân ile olan ilişkisi gibi daha çok fizikselliğe odaklanan konular, ‘Kadın Dostu Kent’ programları gibi bu ilişkiyi güçlendirmeye yönelik birtakım oluşumlar olmasına rağmen, genellikle göz ardı edilmekte veya yetersiz kalmaktadır. Bu noktada kadının kente ilişkin mekân pratiklerindeki yerini, mekânla olan olumlu-olumsuz ilişkisini hem kadın hem erkek bakış açısıyla anlamak ve farkındalık oluşturmak amacından hareket alan bu çalışmanın çıkış noktası ve test ettiği temel hipotez ‘kadının kamusal mekândaki görünürlüğünün erkeklere göre daha az olması’dır. Bu hipotezi etkileyebilecek toplumsal ve kültürel kabuller, kadının yüklendiği sorumluluklar ve kentsel mekân pratiklerinin kadınların kullanımına olanak sağlamada eksik kalması gibi nedenler de çalışmanın varsayımlarını oluşturmuştur. Bu hipotez ve bağlı varsayımların test edilmesi/doğrulanması amacı ile Ankara’nın Keçiören ilçesinde basit rastgele örneklem tekniği kullanılarak kadın ve erkek katılımcılar ile toplam 354 anket uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda Keçiören örnek alanı özelinde belirlenen hipotez doğrulanmıştır. Ancak vurgulanması gereken nokta, kadının kentsel mekândaki görünürlüğünün erkeklere göre daha az olmasının temel nedeni ‘güvenlik’ dışında kentsel mekân pratikleri ile ilgili olmayıp, bunun nedeninin daha çok konunun sosyolojik boyutları ile ilgili olduğudur. Bir başka ifadeyle toplumsal yaşam içindeki kadının ‘ev’le özdeşleştirilmesiyle evde yer alması gerektiği görüşü ve ev ile ilgili sorumlulukları nedeniyle kentsel yaşama katılacak zamanı bulamaması gibi nedenler kadının kentsel mekânı erkeklere kıyasla daha az deneyimlemesine neden olmaktadır.
The Value of Patient Registries: Common Needs for Rare Diseases
Authors: Mittmann Nicole , Varette Oliver
Published: August 2022

Rare disease registries platforms serve an important function in assembling and linking real-world data for a broader population of patients—they collect real-world data to evaluate natural histories of disease, outcome measures, standards of care, and drug safety and effectiveness.

Several barriers remain that impede the widespread use of rare disease registries for real-world data, including concerns over data quality, governance, and implementation of the assembled real-world evidence for decision-making purposes.

A report published in this issue of the journal is the first in a series of case studies that CADTH is pursuing that focus on registries for rare diseases, with the goal of leveraging the power of registries to improve the portrait of care for several rare diseases and support the decision-makers responsible for enacting these changes.

Published: August 2022

In this study, it is aimed to determine the terrestrial European Union Nature Information System (EUNIS) habitat types of Mount Ganos (Işıklar) and its surroundings. Field studies were carried out from April to October 2021. Reference areas were determined for Maximum Likelihood (ML) classification during the field studies. To increase the accuracy and obtain the highest possible level of EUNIS habitat types, we used both reference areas observed in the field studies and processed land cover and habitat maps. These are; Landsat Satellite Images classified with ML, Corine Land Cover, and European ecosystem maps. Regarding both biodiversity and social activities, Mount Ganos is among the most significant natural areas in the Tekirdağ district. The northern slopes of the mountain have a rainier and more humid climate than the southern slopes which Mediterranean climate is dominant. The presence of various climate types and the remarkable altitude variations also contribute to the habitat diversity of the Mount Ganos. Many natural areas have been degraded due to anthropogenic effects such as mineral extraction, agricultural, tourism, and urbanization activities in the Mount Ganos region until today. In this study, a total of 9 ecosystems and 29 habitat types were determined for Mount Ganos according to the EUNIS classification. 21 of them were identified at level 3 and 8 of them ranged between 2 and 6 levels. The intensive unmixed crops (I1.1) are the most-covered EUNIS habitat type with 16173.16 hectares. This is followed by low and medium altitude hay meadows (E2.2, 9350.63 ha), Meso- and eutrophic Quercus, Carpinus, Fraxinus, Acer, Tilia, Ulmus, and related woodland (G1.A, 7548.73 ha) and Pseudomaquis (F5.3, 5926.65 ha). With this study, a portrait of the habitat destruction created by humans has also been drawn. The results of this study can be used by decision-makers to conserve the remaining natural habitats on Mount Ganos.

A comparison of two methods to quantitatively evaluate the effect of below-cloud evaporation on the precipitation isotopic composition in the semi-arid region of the Chinese Loess Plateau

Abstract. Below-cloud evaporation effect could heavily alter the isotope composition of the rain water as it travels from the saturated environment in the cloud towards the surface, especially in the arid and semi-arid regions, and accounts for misinterpreting the isotopic signal. To correctly understand the information contained in the precipitation isotopes, the first step is to qualitatively analyze the below-cloud processes that the raindrops have encountered during their falling, and then to quantitatively compute the below-cloud evaporation ratio of raindrops. Here, based on two-year observations of precipitation and water vapor isotopes in Xi’an, we systematically evaluated the variations of precipitation and water vapor isotopes caused by the below-cloud evaporation effect. The precipitation δ18O and δ2H values range from -18.2 ‰ to 8.8 ‰ and -131.7 ‰ to 61.2 ‰, respectively, while the water vapor δ18Ov and δ2Hv values range from -29.5 ‰ to -10.1 ‰ and -214.9 ‰ to -63.9 ‰. Our results suggest that the equilibrium method could be successfully used to predict the ground-level water vapor isotopic composition from precipitation isotopes in semi-arid climates, especially for the winter data. Moreover, by using ΔdΔδ-diagram, our data show that evaporation is the main below-cloud process of raindrops, while snowfall samples retain the initial cloud signal because of less isotopic exchange between vapor and solid phases. In terms of meteorological factors, both temperature, relative humidity, and precipitation amount affect the intensity of below-cloud evaporation. In arid and semi-arid regions, the below-cloud evaporation ratio computed by the mass conservation equation would be overestimated relative to the isotopic method, while relative humidity is the most sensitive parameter in computing the remaining fraction of raindrop mass after evaporation. In this study, the mean remaining fractions of raindrop mass calculated by the isotopic method respectively are 69.2 %, 74.5 %, 85.2 %, and 80.8 % in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The raindrops are weakly evaporated in autumn and winter, and heavily evaporated in spring and summer. Based on water vapor and precipitation isotope compositions, we designed a set of effective methods to evaluate the below-cloud evaporation effect, and this will improve our understanding of the information contained in the isotopic signals of precipitation.
