"Background: Infection and sepsis represent major complications after abdominal surgery for secondary peritonitis. Finding new tools that can help identify patients at risk for developing postoperative complications is of the utmost importance for clinicians. We tried to evaluate the use of different biomarkers in evaluating the postoperative prognosis of patients with secondary peritonitis. Methods: We searched the available literature on the usefulness of serum biomarkers in evaluating prognosis in patients with secondary peritonitis. Results: Elevated postoperative lactate levels and high procalcitonin (PCT) levels were associated with negative outcomes. C-reactive protein values increase rapidly in response to the surgical insult but have no value in assessing the overall prognosis. Conclusion: Procalcitonin (PCT) is superior to other biomarkers in predicting severe septic complications and overall mortality in patients with secondary peritonitis. "

"Coronary CT angiography is a non-invasive method of analyzing the coronary lumen through which the atheromatous bur-den can be evaluated, with the analysis of the type of plaque (soft, calcified, mixed) and the impact on the arterial lumen (stenosis, occlusion). The anatomical evaluation by coronary CT is indicated in symptomatic patients with low and medium risk factors for coronary atherosclerotic disease, in those with inconclusive laboratory and EKG results, patients with un-certain stress test results, in the evaluation of coronary grafts and intrastent stenoses. Depending on the result of the angiography, the severity of the stenosis and the management of the patient are established. In the case of mild and medium stenoses, risk factors management and drug treatment are recommended. For severe stenoses, patients are referred for interventional coronary angiography or functional evaluation. Coronary CT angiography increases the certainty of coronary atherosclerotic disease diagnosis. It has a superior discriminative capacity of plaques with low attenuation, the main predictor of myocardial infarction, with almost five-fold higher risk. Coronary CT angiography increases the adaptation of medication, and the inclusion of statin therapy decreases the risk of fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction at 5 years and increases the quality of life "

"Hippo signaling has been recognized as a newly identified tumor suppressor signaling pathway that can regulate cellular processes including regeneration, cell death, differentiation, and development. Its dysregulation through overexpression of YAP (Yes-associated protein) and TAZ (PDZ-binding motif) as two main oncogenic factors of the Hippo pathway has a crucial role in several cancers. Because of the limited prognosis and therapeutic targets, further understanding of molecular pathways involved in tumorigenesis is one of the interesting issues in studies. Here, we demonstrated that some viruses, through dysregulation of the Hippo signaling pathway can be implicated in transformation, metastasis, and chemotherapeutic drug resistance in virus-related cancer and also help processes involved in the pathogenesis of viral infection such as persistence "

"Improving the mental health of nurses and investigating the factors affecting it leads to the improvement of job performance and the quality of nursing care. Aim: The present study aimed to determine the relationship between mental health, life satisfaction, and job satisfaction of nurses in Ilam city in 2022. The present correlational study was carried out on 160 nurses working in educational hospitals of Ilam city and was selected by stratified random sampling in 2022. A four-part questionnaire was used: the first part included a question on demographic information. Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) (1977), Diener et al.'s Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) (1985), and Derogatis et al.'s Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-9) (1973) were included in the second, third and the fourth parts, respectively. Resultsshowed no significant relationship between the total score of mental health and the total score of job satisfaction. There was a significant relationship between the total job satisfaction score and life satisfaction score (r=0.267, p=0.001). There was also an inverse and significant relationship between the total mental health score and the life satisfaction score (r=0.294, p=0.001). The collected data was analyzed using descriptive tests (frequency, mean percentage, and standard deviation) and non-parametric Spearman and Kruskal-Walli’s correlation tests in SPSS ver. 22. Pvalue<0.05 was considered as the significance level in all tests. Job satisfaction is effective in creating motivation, efficiency, responsibility, and social accountability in the personnel of any organization. Job dissatisfaction can lead to complications such as job burnout, illness, absenteeism, the job left, leaving many nursing jobs, and the reluctance of the young workforce to attend the wards. Therefore, it is necessary to make further efforts in this field by healthcare policymakers. "

This study aims to determine the influence of leadership style and work discipline on employee performance at the ESA Sejahtera Foundation. The population in this study was all permanent employees at the Esa Sejahtera Pekanbaru Foundation, which amounted to 54 people who had the same group level. At the same time, the sample in this study is the total population using a saturated sampling technique (census). The data collection techniques in this study are interviews and questionnaires, with data analysis using descriptive methods and multiple regression. The results of the study show that leadership style and work discipline have a significant effect on employee performance at the ESA Sejahtera Foundation. The contribution of leadership style and work discipline to employee performance was 72.2%, while the remaining 27.8% was determined by other factors not observed in this research model. For this reason, researchers suggest the need for leaders to pay attention to their subordinates, meaning that leaders must be willing to listen and understand what employees want and need. It is necessary always to provide employees with discipline input so that later employees will always come to work on time and not leave the office prematurely. In addition, the company needs to continuously monitor the quality of employee work by requiring each employee to monitor each work in detail and then re-check to prevent errors.
Location of Imnagarnag (任那加良) by reinterpreting the surname recorded in Gangsuyeoljeon (强首列傳)
Authors:   The Academy of Real Korean History, Lee Wanyoung
Published: January 2023

In Korean history, Gaya has been used as Imna recorded in Nihongi. The augument for Imna can be divided into the following three aspects. The first record is the stele of the Great King Ganggaeto, the second is the Samguksagi Gangsuyeoljeon, and the third is the “Stele of Master Jingyiongdaesa Tap” found in Changwon.
Until now, the main thesis of Gaya research has been developed based on the perception that Imna existed in the Korean Peninsula and that Imna was Gaya. In this article, we oppose the existing research results according to which the person who moved from the Gaya region to the Jungwon region was Kangsu. Kangsu’s family name is Seok, and based on the literature related to Seoktalhae, it is revealed that there is no relation with Imnagaryang and Gaya, which appear in Kangsuyeoljeon.
The location of Imnagaryang, the hometown of Gangsu, was determined by examining the southern ocean currents on the Korean Peninsula. In conclusion, Imna, mentioned in Nihongi, is an ancient political system which completely differs from Gaya in Korea.

Authors:   The Academy of Real Korean History, Kim Sangwon
Published: January 2023

In this article, the historical and cultural contents of the domestic route of the Joseon Tongsinsa were reviewed with the records of the Joseon Tongsinsa. First, the domestic route of the Joseon Tongsinsa was organized by comparing the official route proposed by Yang Hyo-sung, 1-jin 1-po 32, with the current administrative district. Based on this, the historical and cultural contents of the Joseon Tongsinsa were classified into place contents, person contents, and festival events. The location contents were divided into five sections: Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Ulsan, and Busan, and the main areas of each section were derived. Moreover, the historical meaning and current address were also considered. In the character content and festival events, the direction of historical and cultural content that local governments related to the domestic route where the Joseon Tongsinsa event took place was presented. Among the historical and cultural contents of Joseon Tongsinsa considered in this article, the place contents will be particularly important if a physical restoration of the Joseon Tongsinsa's meandering path is carried out in the future.
A Study on the Bibliography of Documentation on Gisaeng and Changgi and the Domestic and Overseas Performance Activities of Gisaeng: Focusing on the gisaeng-related records composed in May 1910
Authors:   The Academy of Real Korean History, Mizutani Sayaka
Published: January 2023

In this study, a detailed and accurate analysis was conducted on the contents of these gisaeng-related documents while maintaining academic objectivity and neutrality, focusing on the Japan tour of the gisaeng of Hanseong Gisaeng Association and domestic Gaeseong performance (May 1910), which is the only record delineating the entire process and relevant details, from the planning of the Japan tour of the gisaeng of Hanseong Gisaeng Association and domestic Gaeseong performance to the petition and approval of the Japanese Superintendent's Metropolitan Police Agency among four document record groups that constitute documentation on Gisaeng and Changgi.
Regarding the Hanseong Gisaeng Association's Japan Tour, an article on the Japanese negotiating and contracting process with eight gisaengs from the Hanseong Gisaeng Association for Performance was first published on April 14, 1910 in Hwangseong Newspaper and Daehan Maeil Newspaper Korean-Chinese Edition. A month later, by May 9, 1910, a contract signing was under way, as the personnel composition and employment costs of the Japan tour group (KRW 1,500 → 1,580 → 1,550) were adjusted, and a contract and a petition were prepared, in the order of petition for a performance in Japan by two Japanese and eight gisaeng from the Hanseong Gisaeng Association on May 11, 1910 (4th year of Yunghee), → approval on May 12 → consultation and decision on May 13, and sent to the western and central police chiefs.
Regarding the Hanseong Gisaeng Association’s Gaeseong performance, the plan to hold a Wongaksa Dance was first mentioned on May 9, 1910 in the report on the status of negotiations on performances in Japan with eight gisaengs of the Hanseong Gisaeng Association and the plan to hold a dance at Wongaksa. It was revealed that the performance was carried out in the following order: Submission of Wongaksa owner's petition and contract for the Gaesong performance and a petition and contract for 10 gisaengs to perform in Gaeseong on May 20, 1910; Metropolitan Police Agency's Order No. 77 Wongaksa owner and 10 gisaengs of the Hanseong Gisaeng Association's Gaeseong performance petition approved on May 24, 1910; Wongaksa owner's employment of 10 gisaeng of the Hanseong Gisaeng Association and approval and order of the petition for the Gaeseong performance on May 24; and the approval order issued to An Chun-min, a clerk of Wongaksa, on May 25, 1910.
Political Capitalism and Rent-Seeking
Authors:   Korea Public Choice Association, Holcombe Randall G.
Published: January 2023

Political capitalism is an economic and political system in which the economic and political elite cooperate for their mutual benefit. Rent-seeking is one of the mechanisms that the elite use to generate gains to themselves at the expense of the masses. Analyzing rent-seeking within the political capitalism framework yields insights about the rent-seeking process. There is a barrier to entry in rent-seeking process which reduces competition for rents and increases the return to the rent-seeking group. This produces a net gain that recipients of rents—the economic elite—share with the political elite for their mutual benefit. One result is that rent-seeking losses are smaller than would be possible in the traditional theory. When such limits on rent-seeking are ineffective and discriminatory, massive rent-seeking can occur which dissipates the benefits of rent-seeking and generates the kind of losses Krueger (1974) discussed in her classic article.
The Public Choice Analysis of Market Failures and Government Failures
Authors:   Korea Public Choice Association, Butler Eamonn
Published: January 2023

In recent years, the Public Choice School scholars argue that public policymaking has its own failures. Public Choice scholars pointed out that the people who make public decisions – politicians or bureaucrats - are in fact just as self-interested as anyone else. They are, after all, the same people; individuals do not suddenly become angels when they get a job in government. We call it ‘democracy’, but actually it is politics, and political interests to colour the whole process. People do not vote at elections out of ‘public interest’, but they vote to promote their own interests. The politicians and bureaucrats also have personal interests of their own. So the Public Choice School economists suggest that it might be better to leave the markets alone, rather than replace market failure by an even worse government failure.
Over the last few decades, the Public Choice School’s arguments have had a growing effect to explain real politics. In established democracies, there is more recognition of the private interests of legislators and bureaucrats, and of the need to restrain them. In addition, policies designed to restrain public decision making, inspired by the Public Choice School, are becoming more common. In this essay, I attempt to explain the Public Choice School’s main idea and various issues in a conceptual and critical way.
Different Perspectives on Public Choice Issues between Economists and Political Scientists in Korea: A Survey Analysis
Authors:   Korea Public Choice Association, Kim Haeng-Bum , Lee Sung-Kyu
Published: January 2023

The ‘Public Choice’ represents an interdisciplinary field studied and researched by both economists and political scientists. Given the different perspective from which economists and political scientists view the same issues, different conclusions are likely to be reached. In other words, economists and political scientists are thought to disagree on many topical issues. In order to examine their disagreement or consensus on public choice topics, we made a survey containing 34 questions on various public choice issues to economists and political scientists. The survey finds a systematic difference in responses between two fields to many questions. Firstly, among the total 34 questions, the two groups exhibited “statistically significant” differences with 12 questions. Secondly, the differences between the two groups on the questions of normative beliefs were more systematic than the differences on the questions pertaining to the positive assumptions of the theory. Thus, opinions on ‘normative beliefs’ are more systematically differed than those on ‘positive assumptions’. Paradoxically, this result implies that the Public Choice needs interdisciplinary studies between two fields. To realize meaningful interdisciplinary studies of Public Choice Theory through close collaboration, it is imperative to make efforts to remove the fundamental differences in opinion between the two groups.
Circular Economy Rebound: The Third Wheel on the Date Between Circularity and Sustainability
Authors: Zerbino Pierluigi
Published: January 2023

The Circular Economy Rebound (CER) effect is a phenomenon that can compromise the capability of a Circular Economy to achieve its intended benefits. Its occurrence can lead to firms overstating their environmental performance and being prone to greenwashing. From a broader point of view, it jeopardises sustainability and economic prosperity from the circular transition and can hinder the decoupling between production and virgin resource extraction. Thus, CER may play a pivotal role in micro and macroeconomic decision-making and policy-making in a Circular Economy. Yet, it is largely unknown, and the search for concrete solutions to limit its occurrence and mitigate its effects is strongly overlooked. Accordingly, this perspective paper aims to increase awareness about CER and tease academics, practitioners, and policymakers to join forces and develop holistic, actionable solutions to manage this detrimental unintended consequence of establishing circularity.
HYBRID MODEL FOR CRYPTOCURRENCY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Authors: Lazo Juan Guillermo Lazo , Medina Gonzalo Hernan Herrera , Talavera Alvaro , Almeida Luciana Faleti
Published: January 2023

Cryptocurrencies are digital assets based on the blockchain, they use cryptography to guarantee their ownership and ensure the integrity of transactions, in addition to allowing control over the creation of additional units. Since its creation in 2009, with Bitcoin as the first cryptocurrency, the market and the number of cryptocurrencies have grown rapidly, as has the interest of those seeking high returns due to its rapid appreciation, whether these investors are individuals or financial institutions. However, this market has characteristics of high volatility and uncertainty, causing prices to vary at very high levels and also at low levels, all of which makes investment decisions in cryptocurrencies very difficult for investment managers. This article proposes a decision-making support methodology for managing investments in the cryptocurrency market, which considers a conservative investment risk profile and seeks to reduce risk and maximize investment return. The methodology aims to establish return levels and estimate the transition probabilities of returns for each level, this is done based on the historical price of cryptocurrencies and using the analysis of Markov chains, which are integrated into the multiple decision trees to identify the cryptocurrency that projects the highest return when it is sold, in one or two periods after acquisition. The results are compared with real data, and the efficiency of the methodology is verified.

Berdasarkan observasi awal yang penulis lakukan di sekolah SMP N 2 Padang Ganting khususnya kelas VII I, penulis melihat siswa kurang bersemangat mengukiti pembelajaran ini dimana terlihat para siswa banyak yang meribut dan berbicara dengan temannya malahan ada juga siswa yang keluar masuk kelas ketika guru sedang menerangkan pelajaran sehingga proses proses pembelajaran yang penilis lihat kurang efektif. Selain itu hasil pembelajaran juga kurang memuaskan, dimana siswa kurang memahami materi-materi yang disampaikan guru, penulis berasumsi karena sebagian siswa masih ada yang mendapat nilai rendah pada saat guru melakukan proses penilaian pada mata pelajaran PAI. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lapangan (field research)yang bersifat deskriptif kualitatif. Dalam pengumpulan data, penulis melakukan observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi, yang menjadi informan dalam penelitian ini adalah Guru PAI dan siswa kelas VII I SMP N 2 Padang Ganting, setelah data terkumpul data kemudian penuli olah dengan menggunakan analisa deskriptif analisis. Dari hasil penelitian yang penulis lakukan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran PAI di kelas VII I di sekolah SMP N 2 Padang Ganting ini menggunakan metode yang beragam karena pembelajaran PAI itu memiliki karakteristik yang berbeda. Diantara metode-metode yang digunakan adalah metode ceramah, metode Tanya jawab, metode resitasi (penugasan), sedangkan metode-metode lainnya seperti metode diskusi, metode drill (latihan), metode kerja kelompok, metode demonstrasi, metode pemecahan masalah, metode ekperimen sangat jarang digunakan oleh guru. Sedangkan media yang digunakan oleh guru yaitu media gambar dan terkadang menggunakan infokusserta menggunakan papan tulis, buku paket, LKS dalam proses pembelajaran. Sedangkan media film dan musik tidak pernah digunakan guru dalam pembelajaran PAI. Jadi dengan digunakannya metode yang bervariasi oleh guru PAI di kelas VII I di sekolah SMP N 2 Padang Ganting siswa sudah mulai terfokus perhatiannya terhadap pembelajaran.
Intravenous thrombolytic therapies in the management of unknown onset and wakeup strokes: A scoping review
Authors: Nazish Saima
Published: January 2023

Background : The efficacy and safety of thrombolytic therapies for the management of unknown time onset stroke (UTOS) and wake-up stroke (WUS) are in a debate. 

Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to map the existing research literature to answer the research question: What is the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis in the management of unknown time onset stroke? 

Data Sources:  The literature search was conducted using the search terms {(Intravenous thrombolysis)} AND {(Unknown time onset stroke)} in pub med and Intravenous thrombolysis *, Unknown time onset stroke *in Cochrane. The review was limited to articles written in the English language. Databases searched included MEDLINE, PubMed and Cochrane electronic databases complemented with a manual search.

Study Selection and Data Extraction: 45 articles of potential relevance were selected. Out of them 14 were containing relevant information direct to the question. The analysis was conducted by charting descriptive numerical data and by content analysis of the narrative representations

 Results:  From 14 relevant papers, 2 Retrospective observational, 2 case control, 1 pilot study, and 5 recent randomized control trials were included for critical appraisal and review writing.

Conclusions:  The penumbral mismatch in UTOS is a cogent method to recognize the patients for thrombolytic therapy without significant risk, but the appropriate imaging criteria to maximize the efficacy and minimize bleeding complications of thrombolytic treatment still has to be fully defined. Results from ongoing trials may be promising with the use of advanced imaging modalities in selected patients.
The New Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: the value of engineering
Authors: Amphlett Rob
Published: January 2023

The new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the realisation of an ambitious vision for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, made possible by the response of the project team to the challenges this vision presented. Key to this has been the engineering innovation, particularly the contribution of structural engineering. From sliding a 68m × 105m grass pitch under 17 500 people while controlling structural dynamics, to eliminating 40% of the columns to provide open concourses and hospitality spaces, structural engineering has played a key part in delivering what is arguably now the best football-focused, multi-use stadium in Europe. This article provides an insight into the design process for the project and the key challenges faced, while considering the contribution made to the ongoing evolution of stadium design. Limited technical detail is given, with the main purpose of the article being to tell the engineering story and explore the value that engineering has delivered to the project.

When comparing soil potassium (K) levels common in West Texas to the current Mehlich III-K critical levels for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), fertilizer K applications are seldom recommended. However, when soil K is applied, positive responses in cotton yield have been reported. Studies were conducted in Lamesa and New Deal, TX to: 1) determine K effects on leaf K concentrations; 2) evaluate whether K application increases crop growth, yield, and fiber quality in sufficient K soils; and 3) evaluate whether K application under water deficit conditions also increases growth, yield, and fiber quality. In Lamesa, muriate of potash (KCl) was applied using two methods, knife-injected (0-0-15) and broadcast (0-0-60); and at New Deal, KCl was applied using knife injection. Potassium application rates included 0, 45, 90, 135, and 180 kg ha-1 with both high (90% ET) and low (30% ET) irrigation levels. At Lamesa in 2016 at 90% ET irrigation, lint yield was greater when 90 kg K ha-1 was broadcast (2,153 kg ha-1 lint) compared to the 180 kg K ha-1 treatment, and all K treatments with 30% ET irrigation. There were no lint yield differences in 2017 at Lamesa. At New Deal, lint yield was similar amongst all K application rates in both years. Although K application increased yield with the 90% ET irrigation level with broadcast application, no differences were observed in water-deficit cotton suggesting further research is needed to better understand the dynamics of K on lint yield in semiarid cotton production systems.
A Study on the History of Korean Literature by Nason(羅孫) Kim Dong-Wook(金東旭)

The History of Korean Literature(國文學史), written by Nason(羅孫) Kim Dong-Wook(金東旭), focuses on the metadiscourse represented by the Motherland and the Nation. And the comparative literature method between Korea and Japan was applied. These two are the most prominent features in the history of Korean literature written by Nason. However, the metadiscourse and comparative literature contradict each other. The fact that the periodization in history, which is the core of literary history, was based on the royal family in the history of Korean literature, was the result of not being able to overcome the contradiction between the two.
Nason(羅孫) made six basic positions to describe the history of Korean literature. It is ① The concept and category of literature. ② The tradition of literary history. ③ The descriptive attitude of literary history. ④ The method of writing of literary history. ⑤ The view of literary history. ⑥ The direction of literary history. In ①, included Chinese literature in the history of Korean literature according to the concept of literature in the East, and excluded oral literature enjoyed by words. However, Yadam(野談) and SamGukYuSa(三國遺事) were included in the history of Korean literature in that they were recorded in letters. In the tradition of literary history[②] and the direction of literary history[⑥], Nason noted the role of upper-class geniuses who emphasized our words and writings. He also emphasized the need to create a new Koreanology that combines upper-class geniuses and lower-class people who actively enjoyed our words and writings. However, his literary history did not provide such details. The descriptive attitude of literary history[③] and the method of writing of literary history[④] used a comparative literary method based on national pride. The direction of literary history[⑥] tried to mix the classical scholar scholarly spirit with the dynamic Hwarangdo(花郞道). However, Hwarangdo is connected with the Japanese samurai spirit, and the classical scholar scholarly spirit shows limitations in that it could not escape from the ideology that was passed down from Takahashi Doru(高橋亨) and Donam(趙潤濟).

The need for sustained long-term measurements of the ocean has increased due to climate variability and societal desire to mitigate the impact of natural disasters on coastal communities. Knowledge about key ocean variables is essential for monitoring and predicting long-term ocean variability, and real-time capability is needed to inform short-term forecasting systems to assist coastal managers and response teams. Ocean observatories collect oceanographic data for scientific and societal reasons, and open access to these data enables their use by the general public, decision-makers, and stakeholders.

Tsunamis pose a threat to coastal communities. Flooding from tsunami-generated waves can cause extensive damage to infrastructure, and in some cases may even lead to loss of human life. Sea level rise due to climate change is expected to exacerbate the risk of flooding hazards. In British Columbia (BC), coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to tsunamis because of their proximity to the Alaska-Aleutian and Cascadia subduction zones.

In 1975, an underwater landslide in Kitimat Arm at the northern end of Douglas Channel, British Columbia (Figure 1a), triggered tsunami waves that were observed to reach a height of over 8 m at the head of the inlet, destroying a dock and a newly built barge terminal (Bornhold, 1983). Elsewhere in the Douglas Channel region, seafloor deposits attest to previous submarine landslide events (Conway et al., 2012; Stacey et al., 2019), and subaerial landslides of various sizes regularly occur (Maynard et al., 2017). Landslide-generated tsunamis are increasingly recognized as a substantial hazard worldwide, with the potential for extreme wave runup and localized damage, particularly in narrow, steep-sided bays and inlets. In most cases it is not possible to prevent landslides from occurring; however, mitigation efforts can include early landslide detection and the development of tsunami early warning systems using real-time data.

Healthy beaches are essential for managing the coastal zone, including growing coastal tourism, maintaining seaside property values, developing infrastructure, and sustaining coastal ecosystems and communities. Beaches worldwide face problems such as erosion and shoreline recession caused by both natural factors and anthropogenic pressures. Beach erosion is caused by short-term fluctuations such as storms or by longer-term processes related to sediment budget deficits, rising sea levels, and wave regime changes. Responsible beach management requires precise knowledge of the short-term fluctuations and long-term processes involved in coastal evolution in order to assess the risks to infrastructure and to identify acceptable weaknesses in future development or in coastal management. Knowledge of short- and long-term shoreline changes could also contribute to the design of beach nourishment plans so that human activities can be conducted consistent with natural processes rather than in conflict with them.

As the interest in marine or ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) increases, so does the need for more spatially resolved measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) of the CO2 sequestered (and for understanding the impacts of these environmental manipulation experiments). The mCDR/MRV community can borrow technology from the past decade’s exponential growth of interest in ocean acidification and monitoring. However, available sensors are insufficient to meet the growing demand for spatially resolved mCDR due to technological complexities, availability, and cost. For instance, in a recent review, there were few commercially available autonomous solutions for pH and pCO2 monitoring and none for total alkalinity or total dissolved inorganic carbon), and the majority of the pH and pCO2 sensors and analyzers cost well above $10,000. Proper MRV of mCDR requires high spatiotemporal resolution monitoring of the inorganic carbon system. Here we describe our efforts toward a low-cost CO2 flux or ∆pCO2 (the difference between air and water partial pressure of CO2) monitoring system intended for use in distributed sensor arrays in coastal, estuarine, and blue carbon research and in mCDR approaches.

With greater nutrient loading and seasonal water column stratification, dissolved oxygen has been declining in many of the world’s coastal areas, and climate warming is likely to exacerbate this problem (e.g., Roman et al., 2019, and references cited therein). Low dissolved oxygen or hypoxia can profoundly affect a fish’s growth, survival, and reproductive success, but tolerances to low dissolved oxygen differ across species. The level of hypoxic stress is also dependent on ambient water temperatures and prey availability. A fundamental challenge to fisheries management is to understand how hypoxia affects fish under different environmental conditions. In this paper, we introduce a new approach to assessing the impacts of hypoxia on fish that can be used to compare impacts among species as well as across other physical, biological, and chemical gradients and in response to environmental change.
Recent Marine Heatwaves Affect Marine Ecosystems from Plankton to Seabirds in the Northern Gulf of Alaska
Authors:   Western Washington University, Strom Suzanne
Published: January 2023

Several decades of research and monitoring in the northern Gulf of Alaska (NGA) have revealed climate-related shifts in ocean temperature and salinity. Accompanying these shifts have been changes in the abundance and diversity of species, from single-celled plankton to fish, seabirds, and marine mammals. Research is documenting long-term change in the region and revealing the mechanisms by which recent marine heatwaves affect the ability of higher trophic levels to survive in these waters. Heatwaves in the northern Gulf of Alaska are likely to become longer, more frequent, and more intense, making long-term monitoring of ecosystem changes critical to understanding and predicting effects on valuable commercial fisheries and culturally significant native harvesting. In addition, documentation of change is necessary for projecting regional and global future climate scenarios and for informing climate-​related policy decisions.
