Rapid saturation of cloud water adjustments to shipping emissions
Authors: Manshausen Peter , Watson-Parris Duncan , Christensen Matthew W. , Jalkanen Jukka-Pekka , Stier Philip
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Human aerosol emissions change cloud properties by providing additional cloud condensation nuclei. This increases cloud droplet numbers, which in turn affects other cloud properties like liquid-water content and ultimately cloud albedo. These adjustments are poorly constrained, making aerosol effects the most uncertain part of anthropogenic climate forcing. Here we show that cloud droplet number and water content react differently to changing emission amounts in shipping exhausts. We use information about ship positions and modeled emission amounts together with reanalysis winds and satellite retrievals of cloud properties. The analysis reveals that cloud droplet numbers respond linearly to emission amount over a large range (1–10 kg h−1) before the response saturates. Liquid water increases in raining clouds, and the anomalies are constant over the emission ranges observed. There is evidence that this independence of emissions is due to compensating effects under drier and more humid conditions, consistent with suppression of rain by enhanced aerosol. This has implications for our understanding of cloud processes and may improve the way clouds are represented in climate models, in particular by changing parameterizations of liquid-water responses to aerosol.

Abstract. This study explores the potential to retrieve aerosol properties with the GRASP algorithm (Generalized Retrieval of Atmosphere and Surface Properties) using as input measurements of zenith sky radiance (ZSR), which are sky radiance values measured in the zenith direction, recorded at four wavelengths by a ZEN-R52 radiometer. To this end, the ZSR measured at 440, 500, 675 and 870 nm by a ZEN-R52 (ZSRZEN), installed in Valladolid (Spain), is employed. This instrument is calibrated by intercomparing the signal of each channel with coincident ZSR values simulated (ZSRSIM) at the same wavelengths with a radiative transfer model (RTM). These simulations are carried out using the GRASP forward module as RTM and the aerosol information from a co-located CE318 photometer belonging to AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) as input. The dark signal and the signal dependence on temperature are characterized and included in the calibration process. The uncertainties for each channel are quantified by an intercomparison with a co-located CE318 photometer, obtaining lower values for shorter wavelengths; they are between 3 % for 440 nm and 21 % for 870 nm. The proposed inversion strategy for the aerosol retrieval using the ZSRZEN measurements as input, i.e. so-called GRASP-ZEN, assumes the aerosol as an external mixture of five pre-calculated aerosol types. A sensitivity analysis is conducted using synthetic ZSRZEN measurements, pointing out that these measurements are sensitive to aerosol load and type. It also assesses that the retrieved aerosol optical depth (AOD) values in general overestimate the reference ones by 0.03, 0.02, 0.02 and 0.01 for 440, 500, 675 and 870 nm, respectively. The calibrated ZSRZEN measurements, recorded during 2.5 years at Valladolid, are inverted by the GRASP-ZEN strategy to retrieve some aerosol properties like AOD. The retrieved AOD shows a high correlation with respect to independent values obtained from a co-located AERONET CE318 photometer, with determination coefficients (r2) of 0.86, 0.85, 0.79 and 0.72 for 440, 500, 675 and 870 nm, respectively, and finding uncertainties between 0.02 and 0.03 with respect to the AERONET values. Finally, the retrieval of other aerosol properties, like aerosol volume concentration for total, fine and coarse modes (VCT, VCF and VCC, respectively), is also explored. The comparison against independent values from AERONET presents r2 values of 0.57, 0.56 and 0.66 and uncertainties of 0.009, 0.016 and 0.02 µm3 µm−2 for VCT, VCF and VCC, respectively.

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Fine roots constitute a fundamental source of litter decomposition and humus formation in terrestrial ecosystems. However, molecular-level traits of carbonaceous organics in fine roots grown in different media, such as soil and water, remain largely unexplored, which limits our understanding of root adaptation and decomposition under changing environments. Here, we used a sequential extraction method to obtain dichloromethane-and-methanol-extractable (FDcMe), base-hydrolyzable (FKOHhy), and CuO-oxidizable (FCuOox) fractions from fine roots of Dysoxylum binectariferum grown in soil and water and characterized them using targeted gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and non-targeted Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Also, decomposition experiments were conducted on soil- and water-grown roots under aerobic and anoxic conditions. Results showed a consistent increase in unsaturation degree and aromaticity of the analytes from FDcMe to FCuOox fractions. Both analyses were sufficiently sensitive to show that compared to soil-grown roots, the water-grown ones developed more polyphenolics with a high unsaturation degree and aromaticity and had more non-structural compositions. Furthermore, although flooding provided an anoxic condition that slowed down root decomposition, the adaptive strategy of developing more non-structural labile components in water-grown roots accelerated root decomposition, thereby counteracting the effects of anoxia. Our results highlight that the complementary targeted and non-targeted analyses of sequentially extracted fractions can provide the supplementary molecular-level carbon traits of fine roots. It advances our understanding of biogeochemical processes in response to global environmental change.
Picoplanktonic methane production in eutrophic surface waters
Authors: Tenorio Sandy E. , Farías Laura
Published: October 2023

Abstract. In the last decade, there have been several research articles on the methane paradox (aerobic CH4 production) first described in the 1960s. In this study, we present observations of CH4 supersaturation in the surface layer in the central Chile upwelling zone (36° S, 73° W) throughout two seasonal cycles (2018–2021). Additionally, CH4 cycling experiments were performed using plankton fractions (natural planktonic community, <150, <3 and <0.2 µm) in a seasonal phytoplankton succession. Our findings highlight the significant role of picoplankton (<3 μm) in CH4 production on the ocean surface, contrasting with the limited involvement of larger organisms (<150 μm). Incubations with methylated substrates such as methylphosphonic acid (MPn) and trimethylamine (TMA) stimulated CH4 production in the picoplankton fraction during both upwelling (austral spring-summer) and non-upwelling (winter) seasons, being particularly relevant in the later period when Synechococcus contributed with high relative abundance. Long-term microcosm experiments underscore the importance of heterotrophic bacteria and cyanobacteria in methylotrophic methanogenesis, enhancing CH4 regeneration, mediated by dissolved organic matter (DOM) recycling. In conclusion, picoplankton emerges as a key factor in both production and metabolization of methylated substrates, being responsible for maintaining CH4 supersaturation. These findings provide valuable insights into the biogeochemical processes driving CH4 dynamics in highly productive upwelling waters.

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Assessing eutrophication in lakes is of key importance, as this
parameter constitutes a major aquatic ecosystem integrity indicator. The
trophic state index (TSI), which is widely used to quantify eutrophication, is
a universal paradigm in the scientific literature. In this study, a
methodological framework is proposed for quantifying and mapping TSI using the
Sentinel Multispectral Imager sensor and fieldwork samples. The first step
of the methodology involves the implementation of stepwise multiple
regression analysis of the available TSI dataset to find some band ratios, such
as blue/red, green/red and red/red, which are sensitive to lake TSI. Trained
with in situ measured TSI and match-up Sentinel images, we established the
XGBoost of machine learning approaches to estimate TSI, with good agreement
(R2= 0.87, slope = 0.85) and fewer errors (MAE = 3.15 and
RMSE = 4.11). Additionally, we discussed the transferability and
applications of XGBoost in three lake classifications: water quality,
absorption contribution and reflectance spectra types. We selected XGBoost to map TSI in 2019–2020 with good-quality Sentinel-2 Level-1C images
embedded in the ESA to examine the spatiotemporal variations of the lake trophic
state. In a large-scale observation, 10 m TSI products from 555 lakes in China facing eutrophication and unbalanced spatial patterns
associated with lake basin characteristics, climate and anthropogenic
activities were investigated. The methodological framework proposed herein could serve as a
useful resource for continuous, long-term and large-scale monitoring of lake aquatic ecosystems, supporting sustainable water resource
management.
Control-Oriented Modelling of Wind Direction Variability

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Wind direction variability significantly affects the performance and life-time of wind turbines and wind farms. Accurately modelling wind direction variability and understanding the effects of yaw misalignment are critical towards designing better wind turbine yaw and wind farm flow controllers. This review focuses on control-oriented modelling of wind direction variability, which is an approach that aims to capture the dynamics of wind direction variability for improving controller performance over a complete set of farm flow scenarios, performing iterative controller development, and/or achieving real-time closed-loop model-based feedback control. The review covers various modelling techniques, including large eddy simulations (LES), data-driven empirical models, and machine learning models, as well as different approaches to data collection and pre-processing. The review also discusses the different challenges in modelling wind direction variability, such as data quality and availability, model uncertainty, and the trade-off between accuracy and computational cost. The review concludes with a discussion of the critical challenges which need to be overcome in control-oriented modelling of wind direction variability, including the use of both high and low-fidelity models.

ABSTRACT

Almost all households in Indonesia use a refrigerator as a place to store food that is more durable. But behind these needs, refrigerators are identified as one of the household appliances that use high electrical energy. Therefore, this study aims to examine the use of Tube in Tube Heat Exchanger (TiTHX) with refrigerant R290 in the refrigerator system to reduce household electricity consumption. This research was conducted experimentally by varying the 3 diameter ratios on TiTHX. The results showed that the use of TiTHX with the most optimum value was obtained at the variation diameter ¼ : ½  increasing refrigerator performance by 3.7%. and also reduce the consumption of electricity costs up to Rp. 17,544.44 per month. This is because the difference between the evaporation pressure and condensation pressure is smaller in systems using TiTHX which then results in lower compression work.

Published: October 2023

Citizenship shows the relationship between the state and citizens. The right to citizenship is the basic right of every person. However, the state absolutely can determine the principles in determining citizenship. Indonesia has made arrangements for citizenship through Law Number 12 of 2006 regarding Citizenship of the Republic of Indonesia. This research uses normative legal analysis because the object of this research is the legislation which has permanent and binding legal force. Conceptually, Indonesia makes Pancasila as its own views, ideas, and ideals about ideal citizenship. In determining citizenship status, Indonesia adheres to the ius sanguinis principle and the ius soli principle to a limited extent. Basically, Indonesia applies single citizenship, but children can be given limited dual citizenship for the sake of fulfilling human rights and protection. With the regulation of citizenship both in national and international law, in fact there are still stateless people. Indonesia is also inseparable from the existence of stateless people. In line with the regulation of citizenship in Indonesia, Immigration is here to provide services and protection to the status of Indonesian citizenship, as well as to ensure the existence and activities of foreign nationals in the territory of Indonesia in order to guarantee the potential, dignity and worth of every person in accordance with human rights based on Pancasila and The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.

The Minister of Trade, Enggartiasto Lukita held a collaboration program with the Australian Minister of Trade, Simon Birmingham, the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Trade Agreement (IA-CEPA). One of the results of the signing of a free trade agreement namely Australia with Indonesia is the addition of working and holiday visa quotas in Australia for eligible Indonesian youth. The Australian Government has confirmed that there will be an increase in the number of Working Holiday Visa (WHV) quotas prepared as part of the agreement. The total quota will reach 4,100 from the previous 1,000 in the first year, with an increase of 5,000 in six years. There are no research results that explain how the WHV is against the perspective of international law because this is a new thing. This is a challenge to discuss and how it affects the world. The method used in the preparation of this journal is the normative-juridical method. The program must be utilized properly because it will have a positive impact on Indonesia and notify the public, especially young Indonesians who want to go to Australia in order to take education and work

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and incurable illness that affects people all over the world. Conventional therapies usually cause adverse side effects that may affect patients’ quality of life. This study assessed the effect of the aqueous extract of Passiflora edulis leaves (PELE) in co-culture of Caco-2 and RAW264.7 cells, simulating an in vitro model of IBD. After being stimulated with bacterial-derived lipopolysaccharides (LPS), PELE’s treatment inhibited the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL) 6 and 8, although was not able to reduce nitric oxide (NO) production. In the co-culture system, PELE was also able to preserve the intestinal barrier function by decreasing paracellular permeability and increasing transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) values, compromised after the LPS stimulus. The beneficial activity seen in this in vitro study may suggest that PELE has a possible anti-inflammatory role in IBD and can alleviate inflammatory events.

Abstract:

Hydatid cyst disease is a zoonotic disease caused by the transmission of Echinococcus granulosus, which is in the cestode class, to humans during the larval period. This disease causes serious problems by affecting public health and national economy as an important parasitic disease, especially in many developing countries. Liver cyst cysts can be complicated according to their diameter and location. Complication rate reaches 60%. The leading complications are bile duct involvement and related complications. Bile duct problems should be solved first in cysts associated with biliary tract. ERCP and endoscopic sphinterotomy can be performed. Here we discussed the treatment and management of a 35-year-old patient with hydatid cyst that opened into the biliary tract with ERCP, who presented to the emergency room with fever and signs of infection.

Objective: In our study, we aimed to reveal the advantages and disadvantages of inhalation and intravenous anesthesia techniques in the maintenance of anesthesia in pediatric patients whose tracheobronchial foreign body was removed by rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia, from both anaesthesia and surgical perspectives, different from the literature.

Methods: The patients were divided into two groups, each consisting of 34 individuals, whose anaesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane inhalation or propofol infusion. Demographic characteristics of the patients, symptoms at presentation, radiological examinations, anaesthesia and surgical procedures, complications were analyzed. In addition, surgical difficulty and surgical comfort scales created from the experiences of our institution were used. The results obtained and the effects of inhalation and intravenous anaesthetics used in maintenance on the duration of the procedure, clinical, hemodynamic and surgical comfort were compared.

Results: Vital signs during the procedure were similar in both groups. was similar. The duration of bronchoscopy was statistically significantly shorter in the intravenous anaesthesia group (p=0.014), and secondarily, the duration of anaesthesia was significantly longer in the inhalation anaesthesia group (p=0.027). While the surgical difficulty scale was similar in both groups, the surgical confort scale was significantly higher in the intravenous anesthesia group (p=0.017). Intraoperative, postoperative complications were similar in both groups.

Conclusion: Anaesthesia maintenance with sevoflurane prolongs the duration of bronchoscopy and accordingly the duration of anaesthesia, and also reduces surgical satisfaction independent of processing time. For these reasons, we think that while rigid bronchoscopy is performed for the removal of childhood foreign body aspirations, propofol can be preferred for anaesthesia maintenance, resulting in a shorter procedure time and higher surgical satisfaction.

Background. In the course of the ISAAC standardized survey, not only asthma-like symptoms are revealed, but also other atopy symptoms, the prevalence of which in their relationship with asthma-like symptoms is of great interest for determining the likelihood of developing BA. This work presents the first study of the frequency of symptoms occurrence in school students of the Khabarovsk Territory (Russia).

Materials and methods. The survey involved 696 teenagers living in the city of Khabarovsk and Khabarovsk rural district who meet the requirements of the ISAAC program method by age (13–14 years).

Results. The prevalence of symptoms of allergic rhinitis in all interviewed adolescents of the Khabarovsk Territory was 69.3 %. In the group with asthma-like symptoms it is significantly higher (77.2 % versus 56.6 %). Complications in the form of conjunctivitis with non-infectious rhinitis occurred in 12.6 % of cases, and also much more often in children with asthma-like symptoms (30.1 % versus 8.9 %). Symptoms of atopic dermatitis occur in 11.8 % of adolescents, 4.6 times more often when combined with asthma-like symptoms (22 % versus 4.8 %), and localize in typical places of atopic dermatitis in 5.3 % of cases, which happens more often in case of asthma-like symptoms (11.4 % versus 3.9 %).

Conclusion. Studies using the ISAAC standard continuous survey showed that prevalence of non-asthma-like symptoms of atopy among adolescents in Khabarovsk and Khabarovsk Krai is higher than in most countries where this study was conducted. The frequency and structure of non-asthma-like symptoms revealed in the course of the survey is characteristic of industrially developed countries. It should be noted that the prevalence and severity of non-asthma-like symptoms in Khabarovsk is significantly higher than in the Khabarovsk rural area, however, the symptoms of non-infectious rhinitis in the countryside are more severe.

Candidiasis has been identified as a ubiquitous fungal infection commonly affecting people living with HIV/AIDS. This research ascertained the prevalence and risk factors forral and vaginal candidiasis among 180 HIV out-patients at Ebonyi State General Hospital, Ezzangbo. Oral and vaginal swabs were aseptically collected from the participants in duplicate. One of the swabs was streaked on Sabouraud's Dextrose Agar (SDA) and isolates were identified using macroscopic characteristics while the second swab was used for microscopic examination. Structured questionnaires were administered to participants to obtain risk factors associated with the infections. The antifungal susceptibility testing of the Candida isolates was performed using disc diffusion method. Data obtained was statistically analysed using Statistical Package for Social Scientist (SPSS). Results obtained from the study indicated 120(66.7%) were positive for Candidiasis; 31.7% was positive for only vaginal Candidiasis, 22.2% were positive for only oral Candidiasis while 12.8% had both. Candida albicans (CA) was dominant with 71% while none albicans Candida (NAC) was 29%. Isolates were most sensitive to Itraconazole and Griseofluvin and less sensitive to Ketoconazole, Nystatin and Fluconazole. The results of this study underlined essentials of good hygiene practices and importance of regularly assessing HIV patients for candidiasis.
Crucified Boy in Russian War Propaganda
Authors: Tolstoj Katya
Published: October 2023

The very first thing I heard when starting my studies in 1993 at the protestant Theological University in Kampen, the Netherlands, was about Theology after Auschwitz (Theologie nach Auschwitz): how it helped confront the legacy of violence and change mindsets in post-Nazi Germany. Coming from the Soviet Union, I immediately began to hope that a similar theological reflection on the Soviet past might start soon. As no such reflection emerged during the following twenty years, I gradually came to understand that I myself had to start a project to contribute to a systematical re-orientation in the post-Soviet countries. Thus, such had become my task and my calling. In 2016 I launched a project called ‘Theology after Gulag’, which name I have changed to ‘Theology after Gulag, Bucha, and beyond’ since Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Authors: Soni P. , Gupta P.
Published: October 2023

Neem is known for its therapeutic and pesticidal applications. Azadirachtin is the chemical constituent in neem seed kernel which is active against wide spectrum of insect pests. Beside azadirachtin several other chemical constituents such as salannin, meliantriol, etc., are also known to possess biocidal activity. The azadirachtin content in seed kernel generally varies between 0.1% to 0.7% and is determined using reverse phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) system. For commercial application azadirachtin content 1500 ppm in extract-based and 300 ppm in oil-based products is an important requirement. Almost all parts of the neem tree are known for its medicinal value. Several neem compounds such as nimbin, nimbidin, nimbinin, etc., are found active for various medicinal applications.
