WORDS OF NERSES SHNORALI’S ALPHABETIC ACROSTICS
Authors: GYURJINYAN DAVIT
Published: March 2024

Alphabetic poems occupy an important place in Nerses Shnorali’s huge
literary heritage. The goal of the comparative analysis of the lexicon of
alphabetic works of this type, in particular, that of the first words of each line,
is not merely lexicological. This comparison is remarkable from another point
of view as well: it can give a certain idea of Shnorali’s creative laboratory, as
well as the approaches, preferences of the author, his experience and taste,
manifested in the choice of words, etc.
The comparative analysis of alphabetic words is an additional means of
establishing or denying the authorship of a particular work.
For a number of poems, the author of which is considered to be
Shnorali, it is noted that they were preserved in some manuscripts without
the name of the author, but they are in line with Nerses Shnorali’s works and
may belong to his pen. Only in later manuscripts there are also alphabetic
acrostic attributed to Shnorali, but this attribution seems unreliable. These
acrostics are sometimes not included in Shnorali’s literary heritage, since
reliable facts are needed to indicate their authorship.
Among Shnorali's works, scholars included several alphabetic
acrostics, in some cases with a certain degree of uncertainty, with
reservations, and in other cases with greater confidence.
A study of the first words of each line of alphabetic acrostics revealed that the
works under study belong to the pen of Nerses Shnorali, and their inclusion
in the literary heritage of the blessed Catholicos is fully justified.

Methods, Techniques and Tools for Knowledge Management
Authors: NEUENFELDT Eric
Published: March 2024

Document management, knowledge sharing, and training and development are three techniques for effective knowledge management. These techniques can improve collaboration, communication, and innovation within an organization. By managing knowledge effectively, organizations can create a culture of learning and promote creativity. One way that knowledge management can promote creativity is by providing employees with the tools and resources they need to develop new ideas and solutions. For example, by providing access to training and development programs, employees can acquire new skills and knowledge that can help them approach problems in new and innovative ways. Similarly, by implementing effective document management systems and knowledge sharing practices, organizations can create a collaborative environment where employees can share their ideas and build on each other’s work. Overall, effective knowledge management is essential for promoting creativity and innovation within an organization. By leveraging the power of technology and collaboration, organizations can create a culture of learning and discovery that can drive success and growth.
DELIBERAÇÃO E FELICIDADE EM ÉTICA A NICOMACO DE ARISTÓTELES
Authors: Martins Anne Jackeline Correa da Costa
Published: March 2024

Neste artigo busca-se demonstrar como a deliberação influencia uma vida feliz de acordo com a obra Ética a Nicomaco de Aristóteles, para isso, necessário foi investigar a compreensão do filósofo sobre felicidade, alma humana e suas respectivas partes, identificando em qual delas a deliberação ocorre, para somente então demonstrar do que ela se trata, e como ela contribui para uma vida feliz. Ato contínuo, conclui-se que a deliberação constitui uma capacidade humana importante, presente na parte racional calculativa da alma, através da qual o homem investiga, analisa, calcula acerca de coisas que dependem dele e que são possíveis de serem feitas por ele, coisas que podem ser realizadas por seus esforços, mas nem sempre da mesma maneira e cujo resultado pode sofrer variações. Por último, constata-se que ao homem que delibera é mister que busque ponderar as diferentes alternativas ao seu dispor, assim como avaliar os prós e os contras de sua possível decisão do melhor modo, a fim de alcançar a excelência deliberativa moral e consequentemente a felicidade.
Midline Sacral Fractures: Review of the Literature
Authors: Bandovic Ivan , Diedring Benjamin , Olson Adrian , Tan Sean , Denisuk Marek , Powell Dexter , Best Benjamin
Published: March 2024

INTRODUCTION

Sacral fractures are an important consideration in high-energy traumas associated with injuries to the pelvic ring that confer much of pelvic stability. A midline longitudinal sacral fracture (MLS) is a relatively rare fracture pattern, with only 23 cases of MLS fractures reported in the literature to date. This systematic review evaluates overall mechanisms of MLS injury, associated injuries, complications, management, and fracture prognosis.

METHODS

A 1952-2021 PubMed literature search yielded 11 publications reporting the outcomes of a total of 23 MLS fracture cases.

RESULTS

Of the 23 MLS patients, 15 (65%) were male and eight (35%) were female, with an average age of 37.25. Ten (43.5%) MLS fractures occurred during motor vehicle collisions and eight (34.7%) because of motorcycle accidents. The most common pelvic ring injuries associated with MLS were pubic symphysis diastasis (n = 12, 57%) and pubic ramus fractures (n = 11, 48%). Patients most frequently suffered intra-pelvic organ dysfunction such as sexual dysfunction or bowel/bladder/urethral injuries. Fractures were treated both operatively or non-operatively and generally showed clinical meaningful resolution at 10 weeks post-injury.

CONCLUSIONS

MLS injuries most often occur in high-energy trauma due to motor vehicle or motorcycle accidents as well as crush injuries, leg splitting, direct perineal/perianal impacts. Pre-trauma sacral abnormalities could be potentially predisposing factors correlated with MLS fractures. Careful review of x-rays and CT scans may help reveal MLS fractures, which can go initially undiagnosed. Operative and nonoperative management strategies includes bedrest, transsacral transiliac screw, decompressive laminotomies, and/or pelvic external fixation. The outcomes reported to date have been generally favorable, with most patients healing at approximately 10 weeks.

Using Artificial Intelligence to Semi-Quantitate Coronary Calcium as an ‘Incidentaloma’ on Non-Gated, Non-Contrast CT Scans, A Single-Center Descriptive Study in West Michigan.
Authors: Kerndt Connor C. , Chopra Rajus , Weber Paul , Rechenberg Amy , Summers Daniel , Boyden Thomas , Langholz David
Published: March 2024

INTRODUCTION

Non-gated, non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scans are commonly ordered for a variety of non-cardiac indications, but do not routinely comment on the presence of coronary artery calcium (CAC)/atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) which is known to correlate with increased cardiovascular risk. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can help detect and quantify CAC/ASCVD which can lead to early treatment and improved outcomes.

METHODS

Using an FDA-approved algorithm (NANOX AI) to measure coronary artery calcium (CAC) on non-gated, non-contrast CT chest, 536 serial scans were evaluated in this single-center retrospective study. Scans were categorized by Agatston scores as normal-mild (<100), moderate (100-399), or severe (≥400). AI results were validated by cardiologist’s overread. Patient charts were retrospectively analyzed for clinical characteristics.

RESULTS

Of the 527 patients included in this analysis, a total of 258 (48.96%) had moderate-severe disease; of these, 164 patients (63.57%, p< 0.001) had no previous diagnosis of CAD. Of those with moderate-severe disease 135 of 258 (52.33% p=0.006) were not on aspirin and 96 (37.21% p=0.093) were not on statin therapy. Cardiologist interpretation demonstrated 88.76% agreement with AI classification.

DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION

Machine learning utilized in CT scans obtained for non-cardiac indications can detect and semi-quantitate CAC accurately. Artificial intelligence algorithms can accurately be applied to non-gated, non-contrast CT scans to identify CAC/ASCVD allowing for early medical intervention and improved clinical outcomes.
Absorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by polymer tubing: implications for indoor air and use as a simple gas-phase volatility separation technique

Published: March 2024

Abstract. Previous studies have demonstrated volatility-dependent absorption of gas-phase volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to Teflon and other polymers. Polymer–VOC interactions are relevant for atmospheric chemistry sampling, as gas–wall partitioning in polymer tubing can cause delays and biases during measurements. They are also relevant to the study of indoor chemistry, where polymer-based materials are abundant (e.g., carpets and paints). In this work, we quantify the absorptive capacities of multiple tubing materials, including four nonconductive polymers (important for gas sampling and indoor air quality), four electrically conductive polymers and two commercial steel coatings (for gas and particle sampling). We compare their performance to previously characterized materials. To quantify the absorptive capacities, we expose the tubing to a series of ketones in the volatility range 104–109 µg m−3 and monitor transmission. For slow-diffusion polymers (e.g., perfluoroalkoxy alkane (PFA) Teflon and nylon), absorption is limited to a thin surface layer, and a single-layer absorption model can fit the data well. For fast-diffusion polymers (e.g., polyethylene and conductive silicone), a larger depth of the polymer is available for diffusion, and a multilayer absorption model is needed. The multilayer model allows fitting solid-phase diffusion coefficients for different materials, which range from 4×10-9 to 4×10-7 cm2 s−1. These diffusion coefficients are ∼ 8 orders of magnitude larger than literature values for fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) Teflon film. This enormous difference explains the differences in VOC absorption measured here. We fit an equivalent absorptive mass (CW, µg m−3) for each absorptive material. We found PFA to be the least absorptive, with CW ∼ 105 µg m−3, and conductive silicone to be the most absorptive, with CW ∼ 1013 µg m−3. PFA transmits VOCs easily and intermediate-volatility species (IVOCs) with quantifiable delays. In contrast, conductive silicone tubing transmits only the most volatile VOCs, denuding all lower-volatility species. Semi-volatile species (SVOCs) are very difficult to sample quantitatively through any tubing material. We demonstrate a system combining several slow- and fast-diffusion tubing materials that can be used to separate a mixture of VOCs into volatility classes. New conductive silicone tubing contaminated the gas stream with siloxanes, but this effect was reduced 10 000-fold for aged tubing, while maintaining the same absorptive properties. SilcoNert (tested in this work) and Silonite (tested in previous work) steel coatings showed gas transmission that was almost as good as PFA, but since they undergo adsorption, their delay times may be humidity- and concentration-dependent.

Published: March 2024

Abstract. Individual hydrological and crop growth models often oversimplify underlying processes, reducing the accuracy of both simulated hydrology and crop growth dynamics. While crop models tend to generalize soil moisture processes, most hydrological models commonly use constant vegetation parameters and prescribed phenologies, neglecting the dynamic nature of crop growth. Despite some studies that have coupled hydrological and crop models, a limited understanding exists regarding the feedbacks between hydrology and crop growth. Our objective is to quantify the feedback between crop systems and hydrology on a fine-grained spatio-temporal level. To this end, the PCR-GLOBWB 2 hydrological model was coupled with the WOFOST crop growth model to quantify both the one-way and two-way interactions between hydrology and crop growth on a daily timestep and at 5 arc minutes (~10 km) resolution. Our study spans the Contiguous United States (CONUS) region and covers the period from 1979 to 2019, allowing a comprehensive evaluation of the feedback between hydrology and crop growth dynamics. We compare individual (stand-alone) as well as one-way and two-way coupled WOFOST and PCR-GLOBWB 2 model runs and evaluate the average crop yield and its interannual variability for rainfed and irrigated crops as well as simulated irrigation water withdrawal for maize, wheat and soybean. Our results reveal distinct patterns in the temporal and spatial variation of crop yield depending on the included interactions between hydrology and crop systems. Evaluating the model results against reported yield and water use data demonstrates the efficacy of the coupled framework in replicating observed irrigated and rainfed crop yields. Our results show that two-way coupling, with its dynamic feedback mechanisms, outperforms one-way coupling for rainfed crops. This improved performance stems from the feedback of WOFOST crop phenology to the crop parameters in the hydrological model. Our results suggest that when crop models are combined with hydrological models, a two-way coupling is needed to capture the impact of interannual climate variability on food production.
Technical note: Influence of different averaging metrics and temporal resolutions on aerosol pH calculated by thermodynamic modeling

Published: March 2024

Abstract. Aerosol pH is commonly used to characterize the acidity of aqueous aerosols and is of significant scientific interest due to its close relationship with atmospheric processes. Estimation of ambient aerosol pH usually relies on the thermodynamic modeling approach. In the existing chemical transport model and field observation studies, the temporal resolution of the input chemical and meteorological data into thermodynamic models varied substantially ranging from less than an hour to a year because of the inconsistency in the resolution of the original data and the aggregation of time-series data in some studies. Furthermore, the average value of aerosol pH has been represented by diverse metrics of central tendency in existing studies. This study attempts to evaluate the potential discrepancies in the calculated average aerosol pH arising from differences in both averaging metrics and temporal resolutions based on the ISORROPIA-II thermodynamic model and the example datasets prepared by the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model simulation. Overall, we find that the variation in the temporal resolutions of input data may lead to a change of up to more than two units in the average pH, and that the averaging metrics calculated based on the pH value of individual samples may be about two units higher than the averaging metrics calculated based on the activity of hydrogen ions. Accordingly, we recommend that the chosen averaging metrics and temporal resolutions should be stated clearly in future studies to ensure comparability of the average aerosol pH between models and/or observations.

Published: March 2024

Abstract. Lack of knowledge still remains on many processes leading to COS atmospheric ﬂuxes, either natural such as the oceanic emissions or the vegetation and soil ﬂuxes, or anthropogenic, from industrial activities and power generation. Moreover, COS atmospheric mixing ratio data are still too sparse to evaluate the estimations of these sources and sinks. This study assesses the anthropogenic and biogenic COS ﬂuxes at the regional scale, in the footprint a measurement site in Western Europe, at a seasonal to diurnal time resolution over half a decade. The continuous time series of COS mixing ratios obtained at the monitoring site of Gif-sur-Yvette (in the Paris area) from August 2014 to December 2019 are compared to simulations with the Lagrangian model FLEXPART, transporting oceanic emissions, biogenic land ﬂuxes from the process-model ORCHIDEE and anthropogenic emissions by two different inventories. The anthropogenic emission inventory based on reported industrial emissions and the characteristics of coal power plants in Europe is consistent with the observations. The ﬂat temporal variability applied to anthropogenic ﬂuxes due to lack of information on industrial and power-generation activity in viscose factories and coal-power plants and the potential mismatches in the representation of the plumes emitted from these hot-spots in the model are the main limitations of this inventory. We ﬁnd that the net ecosystem COS uptake simulated by ORCHIDEE is underestimated in winter at night, which suggests improvements in the parameterization of the nighttime uptake by plants for COS.
Variable contribution of wastewater treatment plant effluents to nitrous oxide emission
Authors: Tang Weiyi , Talbott Jeff , Jones Timothy , Ward Bess B.
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-destroying agent, is produced during nitrogen transformations in both natural and human-constructed environments. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) produce and emit N2O into the atmosphere during the nitrogen removal process. However, the impact of WWTPs on N2O emissions in downstream aquatic systems remains poorly constrained. By measuring N2O concentrations at a monthly resolution over a year in the Potomac River Estuary, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay in the eastern United States, we found a strong seasonal variation in N2O concentrations and fluxes: N2O concentrations were larger in fall and winter but the flux was larger in summer and fall. Observations at multiple stations across the Potomac River Estuary revealed hotspots of N2O emissions downstream of WWTPs. N2O concentrations were higher at stations downstream of WWTPs compared to other stations (median: 21.2 nM vs 16.2 nM) despite the similar concentration of dissolved inorganic nitrogen, suggesting the direct discharge of N2O from WWTPs into the aquatic system or a higher N2O production yield in waters influenced by WWTPs. Since wastewater production has increased substantially with the growing population and is projected to continue to rise, accurately accounting for N2O emissions downstream of the WWTPs would better constrain the global N2O emissions. Efficient N2O removal, in addition to dissolved nitrogen removal, should be an essential part of water quality control in WWTPs.
Potential impacts of launch and orbital debris re-entry emissions
Authors: Rosenlof Karen , Maloney Christopher
Published: March 2024

The recent surge in rocket launch rates, including the proposal of large low earth orbit satellite constellations (LLC’s) has renewed interest into how space traffic may impact Earth’s climate. In the future.  The current annual mass flux from satellites vaporized in Earth’s middle atmosphere each year is ~0.4 Gg, well below the ~20 Gg/year natural mass emissions from meteor ablation. However, it is predicted that if all proposed LLC’s are implemented, the total number of satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) will balloon from ~5,000 to over 60,000 units. The corresponding annual emissions from satellite re-entry is also expected to increase and approach 10 Gg/yr. Although little is currently known about the composition of  aerosols released during satellite ablation, we assume a significant portion of the aerosol population is metallic aluminum that will convert to aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Here we present results from a study which focuses on the radiative impacts and atmospheric transport of hypothetical Al2O3 emissions from satellite re-entry. The WACCM6 global model coupled with the CARMA sectional model was run with a 10 Gg/year mass flux of alumina aerosol between 60 km and 70 km. We evaluate how aerosol size and latitude of emission may impact the overall transport, atmospheric burden, and radiative impacts from satellite re-entry.

Using Ecotron experimentation to quantify planetary boundaries
Authors: Soudzilovskaia Nadia , Rineau Francois , Schoelynck Jonas , De Boek Hans , Nijs Ivan
Published: March 2024

As the world’s population grows at unprecedented rates, planetary-scale environmental forcing by humankind continues to push Earth system components out of the equilibrium state. The planetary boundaries framework provides an elegant and comprehensive tool to estimate the extent to which nine key processes of human-induced biosphere alteration affect the stability and resilience of Earth system. Yet quantifying planetary boundaries and especially the interactions between them, based on a process-based understanding of ecosystem functioning, remains a great challenge, as observations and experimentation in natural ecosystems typically provide only a narrow snapshot of a process in question. While conventional controlled environment facilities, such as growth chambers and advanced greenhouses provide a standard tool to simulate environmental change and disentangle processes controlling ecosystem functioning, the capacity of such systems to provide realistic quantifications of ecosystem tipping point is limited, due to (1) a typical focus on a single environmental change process, and (2) a use of simplified, small scale experimental ecosystems. In contrast, novel state-of-the-art terrestrial and aquatic Ecotron research facilities enable both (1) simulation of a wide range of natural environmental conditions, employing  highly realistic scenarios of environmental change, as well as (2) operating with natural ecosystems in their full complexity in replicated design.  An important advantage of ecotrons is a possibility of obtaining long-term (years to decennia scale) and high resolution (minutes-to-days) time series of continues observations of multiple ecosystem functions and their drivers, allowing to infer relations between those in a process-based manner. These advantages are increasingly acknowledged by the scientific community, as having a great potential to help obtaining experimental data to quantify the ecosystem tipping points, accounting for interactions between multiple forces driving planetary boundaries. I will discuss the framework of using a European network of Ecotrons and Ecotorn-like systems within AnaEE ERIC (Analysis and Experimentation on Ecosystems European Research Infrastructure Consortium) in the context of quantification of planetary boundaries, and will present a suit of a case studies illustrating assessments of cascading effects of land use change and climate change on ecosystem integrity, terrestrial above and belowground biodiversity, terrestrial and oceanic biogeochemical cycles, and soil moisture regime. I aim to inspire a discussion about new avenues in assessment of planetary boundary levels based on high throughput experimental and observational data obtained in ecotron-like experimental facilities.
Coastal area shoreline shifting detection and water salinity assessment based on remote sensing and google earth engine platform: Active aquacultural case study area in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Al-Suwaiyan Mohammad , Yaseen Zaher Mundher 
Published: March 2024

Coastal areas are more vulnerable due to the high extreme natural events and anthropogenic activates are destroying the environment. Food demand is gradually increasing because of the population pressure, while alternative planning like aquaculture land is increasing in some parts of the Saudi Arabia. Global sea level rise is also a triggering factor for shoreline change in the coastal environment with high soil salinity increase. Without any sustainable planning and management, those areas are gradually affected through shoreline shifting and soil salinity-related problems. Remote sensing is the most powerful tool to detect those earth’s surface changes through earth observational datasets. Landsat series datasets were applied for detecting shoreline shifting, aquaculture land identification, and soil salinity along with automatic water area detection using Google Earth Engine cloud computing platform from 1994 to 2023 near Alqalh area, Saudi Arabia. Decadal shoreline shifting observed like 4.48 km2 (1994-2002), 8.82 km2 (2002-2014), 6.61 km2 (2014-2023) and 9.24 km2 (1994-2023), while overall 43.47 km2 (1994-2023) of the area is accretion measured. In the initial periods (1994) aquaculture land did not exit in this area but in the recent time (2023) this area have 71.16 km2 (13.38%) of aquaculture land. Some geo-spatial indices also applied for soil salinity, vegetation and water body area where Vegetation Soil Salinity Index (VSSI) observed high salinity in the year of 2024 due to huge aquaculture land and shoreline shifting towards north-west, south and south-east position of the study area. This investigation outcomes may help local planners in developing novel adaptation strategies in order to protect the environmental degradation.  Keywords: Coastal area water assessment; Shoreline shifting; Soil salinity; Aquaculture; Remote sensing.                                          
Mapping of sea ice concentration using the NASA NIMBUS 5 Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer data from 1972–1977
Authors: Kolbe Wiebke Margitta , Tonboe Rasmus T. , Stroeve Julienne
Published: March 2024

Abstract. The Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR) instrument onboard the NIMBUS 5 satellite was a one-channel microwave radiometer that measured the 19.35 GHz horizontally polarized brightness temperature (TB) from 11 December 1972 to 16 May 1977. The original tape archive data in swath projection have recently been made available online by the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC). Even though the ESMR was a predecessor of modern multi-frequency radiometers, there are still parts of modern processing methodologies which can be applied to the data to derive the sea ice extent globally. Here, we have reprocessed the entire dataset using a modern processing methodology that includes the implementation of pre-processing filtering, dynamical tie points, and a radiative transfer model (RTM) together with numerical weather prediction (NWP) for atmospheric correction. We present the one-channel sea ice concentration (SIC) algorithm and the model for computing temporally and spatially varying SIC uncertainty estimates. Post-processing steps include resampling to daily grids, land-spillover correction, the application of climatological masks, the setting of processing flags, and the estimation of sea ice extent, monthly means, and trends. This sea ice dataset derived from the NIMBUS 5 ESMR extends the sea ice record with an important reference from the mid-1970s. To make it easier to perform a consistent analysis of sea ice development over time, the same grid and land mask as used for EUMETSAT's OSI-SAF SMMR-based sea-ice climate data record (CDR) were used for our ESMR dataset. SIC uncertainties were included to further ease comparison to other datasets and time periods. We find that our sea ice extent in the Arctic and Antarctic in the 1970s is generally higher than those available from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC), which were derived from the same ESMR dataset, with mean differences of 240 000 and 590 000 km2, respectively. When comparing monthly sea ice extents, the largest differences reach up to 2 million km2. Such large differences cannot be explained by the different grids and land masks of the datasets alone and must therefore also result from the differences in data filtering and algorithms, such as the dynamical tie points and atmospheric correction. The new ESMR SIC dataset has been released as part of the ESA Climate Change Initiative (ESA CCI) program and is publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5285/34a15b96f1134d9e95b9e486d74e49cf (Tonboe et al., 2023).
Understanding the influence of ocean waves on Arctic sea ice simulation: a modeling study with an atmosphere–ocean–wave–sea ice coupled model
Authors: Yang Chao-Yuan , Liu Jiping , Chen Dake
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Rapid decline in Arctic sea ice has created more open water for ocean wave development and highlighted the importance of wave–ice interactions in the Arctic. Some studies have made contributions to our understanding of the potential role of the prognostic floe size distribution (FSD) in sea ice changes. However, these efforts do not represent the full interactions across atmosphere, ocean, wave, and sea ice. In this study, we implement a modified joint floe size and thickness distribution (FSTD) in a newly developed regional atmosphere–ocean–wave–sea ice coupled model and conduct a series of pan-Arctic simulations with different physical configurations related to FSD changes, including FSD-fixed, FSD-varied, lateral melting rate, wave-fracturing formulation, and wave attenuation rate. Firstly, our atmosphere–ocean–wave–sea ice coupled simulations show that the prognostic FSD leads to reduced ice area due to enhanced ice–ocean heat fluxes, but the feedbacks from the atmosphere and the ocean partially offset the reduced ice area induced by the prognostic FSD. Secondly, lateral melting rate formulations do not change the simulated FSD significantly, but they influence the flux exchanges across atmosphere, ocean, and sea ice and thus sea ice responses. Thirdly, the changes in FSD are sensitive to the simulated wave height, wavelength, and wave period associated with different wave-fracturing formulations and wave attenuation rates, and the limited oceanic energy imposes a strong constraint on the response of sea ice to FSD changes. Finally, our results also demonstrate that wave-related physical processes can have impacts on sea ice changes with the constant FSD, suggesting the indirect influences of ocean waves on sea ice through the atmosphere and the ocean.

Published: March 2024

This thesis investigated how secondary school students wanted peers, parents, and teachers to respond when they reported bullying victimisation. It was found that the students first wanted emotional support if they reported they were being bullied. Second, they wanted confidentiality and only then for the person to help them stop the bullying. This study underscores the importance of empathy and effective communication within schools and homes to address bullying victimisation, highlighting students’ need for both emotional support and assistance in putting an end to any bullying incidents they face.
Male chlamydia infections: How infection alters and controls macrophage function
Authors:   , Kim Jay J
Published: March 2024

Chlamydia trachomatis (Ctr) causes around 127 million annual bacterial sexually transmitted infections, often underestimated due to asymptomatic cases, hindering accurate diagnosis. Male infections may lead to urethritis, prostatitis, and epididymo-orchitis, impacting testicular homeostasis and fertility. The study compares C. muridarum and C. trachomatis effects on murine and human macrophage transcriptomes. Confirming the hypothesis in both species, chlamydial infection significantly alters genes related to homeostasis, inflammation, and metabolism. Enrichment results suggest lineage-specific effects on redox homeostasis, DNA damage responses, and cell cycle progression, providing insights for potential therapeutic interventions.

Today's child crime has grown rapidly and is heavily influenced by technological developments. Various kinds of child crimes are problematic with the law so that the swift advancement of information technology presently holds a beneficial influence on society by easily obtaining the information needed and has a negative impact because there is a lot of misleading information circulating and websites, pornographic sites. So that children who are just about to grow up or teenagers will feel curious and will most likely take actions beyond reason. So legal action is needed to safeguard minors from the impact of the conventional judicial proceedings granted to offenders of such offenses, thereby allowing the criminal justice system to prosecute the culprits of sexual assault, it is necessary to do a better alternative justice for children. However, it must be balanced for the victims as well, so that the alternative referred to as "diversion" or what is referred to as restorative justice does not feel shielded.
THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL LAW IN EXPORT IMPORT ARRANGEMENTS AND ITS IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY IN INDONESIA
Authors: Jadidah Fikrotul
Published: March 2024

International law plays a crucial role in the lives of the international community. Its role is essential in the current era of globalization to bridge any existing issues. Through international legal provisions, states prevent disputes from arising and settle those that have already occurred. In practice, international trade is often equated with exports and imports. Considering the increasingly complex processes of export and import, it would be challenging to apply the regulations of only one country. That is why international law exists, to provide solutions in minimizing differences in regulations between parties. The processes of unification and harmonization of laws come into play. The research questions in this study are: What is the role of international law in regulating exports and imports in Indonesia, and what is the influence of export-import activities on Indonesia's national economic growth? The research method used is normative juridical with a descriptive-analytical research specification. From the results of this study, the following conclusion is obtained: The legal aspects of international trade agreements for exporting and importing goods in Indonesia involve contractual aspects in accordance with the Civil Code Book III on obligations and principles of international law regulated in the Vienna Convention of 1986 and UNIDROIT on the harmonization of international civil law. Meanwhile, the organization of exporting and importing goods follows the provisions issued by the Indonesian government regarding export-import payment procedures and implementation methods in accordance with foreign exchange laws.

The aim of this research is three things, namely: First, to find out what factors cause the area of forest not to fall to the same as the area of forested area?; Second, find out what the government's attitude is regarding the use of forest areas as not being in accordance with its function? Third, find out whether forest areas that are not used optimally can be converted into functional areas? using descriptive and nomative research methods, library study data collection techniques, with qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of the analysis show that Firstly: The causes of differences in the size of forest areas and wooded areas occur due to the function of the forest area itself (in production forest areas and conservation forest areas) and due to human actions (in protected forest areas). Where in protected forest areas, some residents consider them to be forest areas that are on private land, there are different perceptions about customary forests; Second, the attitude that the provincial government needs to take is to revitalize forests according to their function d=as a priority option; and Third, however, there is the possibility of converting forest areas for other development activities.
