A Study on the outcome of surgical management of Unstable
Intertrochanteric Fractures in the geriatric population by
various modalities
Authors: Reddy V Ram , Khan Mohd Inayatulla
Published: June 2021

Background: Unstable hip fractures in elderly patients a unique
challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Most of the cases are to
be managed by surgical intervention. The problems of old age
include the presence of osteoporosis, pre-existing arthritis, the
overall health of the patient. We in the present study tried to
evaluate the functional outcome of surgical management of
unstable intertrochanteric fractures by various methods and
study the effectiveness and complications of the operative
management of unstable fractures.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the
Department of Orthopedics, Prathima Institute of Medical
Sciences, Nagunur, Karimnagar. All patients with unstable
intertrochanteric fractures with age > 65 years who are treated
by the surgical intervention were included in the study. All the
patients were operated in Spinal anesthesia and The standard
surgical procedures were followed for different modalities like
DHS, PFN, Enders Nail’s and cemented bipolar
hemiarthroplasty was done.
Results: Out of n=50 patients n=28(56%) were female and
n=22(44%) were males. The average duration of hospital stay
was 14 days, with a range of 10-25 days. The mean blood loss
in cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty was 300 ml, PFN 100
ml, DHS was 250ml, and Ender’s Nail was 50ml. In our study of
Bipolar hemiarthroplasty out of n=9 patients n=3 (33.34%) had
excellent, n=5(55.56%) good outcome, n=1(11.12%) had fair
outcomes respectively. Out of n=9 patients of PFN n=4 (44.44
%) of excellent, good n=4(44.44%), fair n=1 (11.12%) patient
and no poor results. Out of n=25 patients of DHS n=20 (80%)
patients are excellent to good results, n=3(12%) patient had
fair and n=2 (8%) patients had poor results. Out of 7 patients
of Ender’s nails n=2(28.573) had excellent and n=3(42.85%)
had good and n=1(14.28%) fair, n=1(14.28) had poor results.
Conclusion: Intertrochanteric Fractures in the geriatric
population are a unique challenge it requires early operative
management which will reduce both mortality and morbidity.
Early mobilization following operative treatment will reduce
the risks associated with prolonged bed rest in geriatric
patients. Since failure rate is still high in unstable
intertrochanteric fractures selection of proper implants is
important for the ultimate success of the treatment.
Sex-ratios and work in Latin American households: Evidence from Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Chile
Authors: Campaña Juan Carlos , Gimenez-Nadal J. Ignacio , Molina Jose Alberto
Published: June 2021

We analyze the relationship between sex-ratios in the region of residence, and the time devoted to paid and unpaid work by couples in Mexico (2002, 2009, 2014), Peru (2010), Ecuador (2012), Colombia (2012, 2017) and Chile (2015). We find that sex-ratios are negatively related to the time devoted by women to paid work in Ecuador, and positively related to the time devoted by men to paid work in Mexico and Chile. In Colombia, sex-ratios are negatively related to the time devoted by men to unpaid work, while in Mexico and Peru they are negatively related to the time devoted by women to unpaid work. These results illustrate the importance of studying this topic in countries where the evidence is scarce, mainly due to limitations in the data.

Everything has been digitized. In many existing systems, almost all petrol pumps have a controlling unit to perform the tasks like managing the electrical pump, drive the display, measure the flow & accordingly turn OFF the electrical pump. But still a person is required to collect the money and there is card to access petrol at different petrol stations of different petrol companies across the country and here, we are connecting all these petrol stations using single web server This web server access is secured by a password which is known only to the petrol companies. Whenever we want to fill the tank from the fuel dispenser, we just have to place the RFID card near the RFID reader
IoT Based Leftover Food Notifications
Authors: Ansari Afrojjhan A. , Kamble Rutuja P. , Patil Prof. R. D.
Published: June 2021

A large portion of us discard extra food from our families in dustbins. Be that as it may, this extra food can in any case be utilized to fulfill yearning of numerous oppressed individuals. This paper presents a product answer for help inform accessible extra food from our families. We will likely foster an Android application to permit willing food givers to tell accessibility of extra food through Google Maps API. In the event that a benefactor means to give leftover food, the application will record his/her pickup area (for example as through GPS). When the pickup areas of givers are recorded in data set, we can plot them on Google Maps API as markers. This stamped guide would then be able to be utilized by different NGOs to gather extra food from their particular objections and afterward circulate it among oppressed individuals.
Pravo pacijenta na drugo stručno mišljenje
Authors: Žunić Ljubica
Published: June 2021

Poput drugih društava koja poštuju ljudska prava i slobode, Republika Hrvatska je pravo pacijenta na drugo stručno mišljenje uvrstila kao pozitivnu pravnu normu u zakonodavni okvir. Drugo mišljenje je neovisno mišljenje drugog stručnjaka o prvotno po-stavljenoj dijagnozi ili predloženom tretmanu liječenja, koje najčešće traži pacijent. U radu se raspravlja o institutu drugog struč-nog mišljenja u okviru prava pacijenta na samoodređenje i Zakona o zaštiti prava pacijenata, uz navođenje razloga koji motiviraju pacijente u ostvarivanju ovog prava. Navode se rezultati o provedenim međunarodnim istraživanjima o razlozima zbog kojih su pacijenti tražili drugo stručno mišljenje, u kojoj mjeri su prve dijagnoze potvrđene ili promijenjene. Studije su pokazale kako druga mišljenja češće donose promjenu provođenju terapije nego promjene u dijagnozi, koje također nisu zanemarive. Liječnici češće informiraju o pravu na traženje drugog mišljenja mlađe, educirane pacijente.

Published: June 2021

Cilj: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi razlike znanja o psihijatrijskim bolestima između studenata zdravstvenih i nezdrav-stvenih studija Sveučilišta u Splitu te ispitati razlike znanja o psihijatrijskim bolestima s obzirom na spol i dob sudionika.
Metode: Uzorak u ovom istraživanju sačinjava 280 studenata Sveučilišta u Splitu. Korišteni mjerni instrument je novokon-struirani upitnik sastavljen od 20 pitanja o psihijatrijskim bolestima. Upitnik je pouzdan za interpretaciju rezultata, vrijednost Cronbach’s alpha iznosi 0,74. Obrada podataka uključivala je izračun deskriptivnih parametara kao i korištenje neparametrijskog Mann Whitney U testa za utvrđivanje razlika prema spolu, dobnim skupinama te vrsti studija. Istraživanje je odobreno od strane Etičkog povjerenstva Sveučilišnog odjela zdravstvenih studija Sveučilišta u Splitu.
Rezultati: Rezultati istraživanja upućuju na nisku razinu znanja studenata o psihijatrijskim bolestima. Ukupan postotak točno riješenih odgovora na ukupnom uzorku sudionika iznosi 58,4%. Utvrđena je značajna razlika u znanju među studentima zdrav-stvenih i nezdravstvenih studija za 6 od ukupno 20 čestica. Studenti više znaju o bolestima ovisnosti i posttraumatskom stresnom poremećaju nego o shizofreniji i bipolarnom afektivnom poremećaju.

Published: June 2021

Introduction: The lives of most people around the world have changed since the onset of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (SARS-CoV - severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus). According to the WHO data, the first cases in Croatia were registered on February 26, in Bosnia and Herzegovina on March 5, and in Serbia on March 10, 2020. The assumption was that due to stress caused by imposed isolation, the alcohol consumption began to increase. Methods: In order to obtain information on alcohol consumption in the period before and during Covid-19 lockdown, an online anonymous survey was conducted, in which a total of 930 persons participated: 542 from Croatia, 219 from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and 169 from Serbia. Results: Among those who completed the survey were 659 women and 271 men, mostly between 20-45 years old, with higher or secondary education. Most were employed, living in urban areas with a larger population. The obtained results did not show the influence of lockdown on alcohol consumption. On the contrary, 20.21% of participants, who had previously consumed alcohol, answered that they stopped consuming during the lockdown. Only 0.43% of participants started consuming alcohol precisely because of isolation.
Conclusions: This research sheds new light on the daily practice of people during Covid-19 pandemic in the Western Balkans, known as a region where alcohol consumption is quite widespread
An empirical analysis of the relationship between bank credit and economic growth
Authors: Vasconcelos Marcos Roberto , Reginato Vitor Gomes , Cunha Marina Silva da
Published: June 2021

This paper tests the hypothesis that bank credit is necessary for economic growth, depending on the country's level of economic and financial development. It also seeks to verify whether the relationship between financial development and economic growth is monotonic. For this, Granger's causality methodology is used for panel data, with data from 106 countries for the period between 1970 and 2016. It is observed that there was an expansion of world credit above the economic growth observed over the studied period. The main empirical findings indicate that, in general, credit causes economic growth and vice versa, in addition to verifying the non-monotonicity of the relationship between financial development and economic growth, so that, for very low credit / GDP indices, the causality of the credit to GDP is not verified.

The Boy in the Text: Mary Barber, Her Son, and Children's Poetry in Poems on Several Occasions

The Boy in the Text: Mary Barber, Her Son, and Children’s Poetry in Poems on Several Occasions

This paper reconsiders the work of Dublin poet Mary Barber, whose collection of poems appeared in 1733/34. There she acknowledges the assistance of Jonathan Swift, and frames her poetry as a pedagogical aid to her children’s education—particularly that of her eldest son, Constantine. Barber’s relationship with Swift has received much critical attention, as has her focus on her own motherhood—sometimes in critiques that suggest both of these hampered the quality and scope of her work. This paper asks readers to look at her poetry as the children’s literature she claimed it was, as well as being crossover literature aimed at more than one generation, published with the hope of the kind of success that Jonathan Swift (and John Gay, and Daniel Defoe) achieved by reaching more than one generation of readers.
Looking Beyond the Enlightenment Mother-Teacher: Anna Letitia Barbauld and the Eighteenth-Century Maternal Ideal
Authors: Ready Kathryn
Published: June 2021

Based on her popular prose writing for children, liberal Dissenter Anna Letitia Barbauld has been cited as a prominent example of the Enlightenment mother-teacher associated with the influence of John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. However, close reading of her poetry reveals a complex maternal ideal in operation that was in part that of the Enlightenment mother-teacher, in part a modified form of republican motherhood, a strategic composite drawn, on the one hand, from classical republican discourse, which promoted the woman’s role in fostering patriotism and liberty, and, on the other, from contemporary defences of commerce, which highlighted women’s civilizing and humanizing roles. Barbauld’s poetic career is compelling in illuminating not only the complexity of the eighteenth-century maternal ideal but also its simultaneous opportunities and limitations for women. While the eighteenth-century maternal ideal allowed the possibility for exciting innovation and reinterpretation of traditional gender categories, expanding the boundaries of feminine authority and authorship, it could equally be exploited by those bent upon undermining women’s efforts to enlarge their social and cultural sphere of action.
Customary Law and the Revival of Natural Rights Reformism in Amelia Opie's Adeline Mowbray
Authors: Zunac Mark
Published: June 2021

This essay investigates the role of natural law within the philosophical debates in 1790s Britain over the origins and applicability of citizens' rights, an issue amplified by memories of the French Revolution. It marks Amelia Opie’s 1805 novel Adeline Mowbray as representative of a counterrevolutionary faction focused extensively on the rights of citizens, yet fully distinct from the theoretically grounded cosmopolitan vision of both the French Jacobins and their radical British counterparts. The novel serves as evidence that the British counterrevolution was not intrinsically opposed to reform, and that reform itself was not incompatible with moral duty and social good nor antithetical to a more nationalistic - though broadly based - conception of "rights." In fact, it seems to be presented by Opie as a conscious alternative to revolutionary theories of universal right, by 1805 viewed by many as the progenitor of the political violence that had ensued following the fall of the Bastille sixteen years earlier.
Polyherbal Natural Hand Sanitizer Formulation and Evaluation
Authors: Surwase Vijaya B. , Savale Manasi M. , Jadhav Ranjit S. , B. Kadam Akshaykumar , P. Shinde Pradnya
Published: June 2021

Making a polyherbal hand sanitizer’s major purpose is to increase “hand hygiene.” In the prevention, control, and reduction of hospital-acquired infections, hand hygiene is a key principle and practice. The plants were validated using fresh Azadirachta indica and Tridax procumbens leaves. The leaves were cleaned, dried in the shade, and used for future research. Using the Soxhlate equipment and hydroalcoholic solvent extraction, several phytochemicals were extracted, and the recovered phytochemicals were qualitatively examined before being evaluated for antibacterial activity. This herbal extract blend was used to make hand sanitizer. Herbal hand sanitizer was evaluated using microorganism suspensions (Bacteria- E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus), which showed that herbal hand sanitizer is more efficient than commercial synthetic hand sanitizer in reducing the number of germs on the hands. The increased antibacterial activity and efficacy of these plant extracts can be exploited to create herbal hand sanitizers on a commercial scale. When the ingredients are mixed together, they form a hand sanitizer.
Quem somos? Uma abordagem epistemológica sobre a Geometria Gráfica e suas práticas.
Authors: Lopes Andiara Valentina , Carneiro-da-Cunha Maximiliano , Gusmão Mariana Buarque Ribeiro de
Published: June 2021

Esse trabalho tem como objetivo fazer uma reflexão epistemológica a  respeito da Geometria Gráfica, de suas representações e do estudo da Forma como objeto de estudo. A ideia central partiu de questionamentos sobre os motivos que levaram a Geometria Gráfica a se encontrar na posição atual de desvalorização acadêmica. Isto inclui a retirada da disciplina do currículo escolar brasileiro, a falta de consenso com relação à identidade dos profissionais, bem como às mudanças de paradigma trazidas pelas novas tecnologias. Nesse sentido, procurou-se discutir: 1) a origem e desenvolvimento da disciplina no Brasil; 2) a identidade da Geometria Gráfica como ciência, cujo resultado final está vinculado ao estudo e a representação gráfica da Forma; 3) suas práticas, que durante muito tempo foramse fragmentando devido ao uso de diferentes nomenclaturas, tais como “desenho”, “desenho técnico”, “desenho geométrico”, “expressão gráfica”, entre outras; e 4) seu futuro como área do conhecimento, diante das diferentes perspectivas de atuação com as novas tecnologias digitais. Ao final, pudemos compreender que o termo Geometria Gráfica define melhor e de maneira mais eficaz esta área de estudo estabelecendo, de uma maneira objetiva, que o nosso objeto de estudo é a Forma em suas diferentes representações.

Desde os relógios solares da Antiguidade até os painéis fotovoltaicos atuais, ohomem procura interagir com a luz. Seguindo a mesma intuição de usar esserecurso renovável, essa pesquisa apresenta um estudo de criação de imagens bicromáticas através da luz e sombra. Na arquitetura, o uso de texturas emconjunto com a iluminação vem sendo cada vez mais usado como elementodecorativo em revestimentos, painéis, murais e fachadas. Com o objetivo detraçar diretrizes para otimizar a aplicação dessas texturas, foram selecionadosparâmetros de inclinação do módulo, complexidade da imagem e opacidade domaterial. Com a ajuda do softwareRhinoceros e o plug-inGrasshopper, essesparâmetros foram testados em todas as possíveis combinações e simulados emambientes internos e externos. Ao final do estudo, foi possível dar diretrizes dedimensionamento de painéis para os tipos de ambientes, inclinação ideal domódulo para melhor contraste entre figura e fundo, dimensões mínimas para que textos sejam legíveis e o melhor nível de opacidade na escolha dos materiais. Esse material poderá servir para arquitetos, designers e decoradores que necessitam representar imagens, textos ou passar qualquer informação através de texturas, luz e sombra.

Authors: De Paula Bárbara , Miranda Carlos
Published: June 2021

O desafio que se apresenta ao ensino de Desenho Técnico, é um cenário mundial que demanda uso intensivo da ciência e tecnologia e que exige profissionais altamente qualificados. O próprio conceito de qualificação profissional vem se alterando, com a presença cada vez maior de componentes associadas às capacidades de coordenar informações, interagir com pessoas e interpretar de maneira dinâmica a realidade. As Instituições de Ensino no Brasil têm procurado, através de reformas periódicas em seus planos de ensino e conteúdos programáticos, equacionar estes problemas e solucioná-los de maneira adequada, inserindo estes conteúdos gradativamente em suas grades. Neste trabalho, descrevemos a importância do desenho técnico para o profissional de design, descrevendo as aptidões e habilidades necessárias para o desenvolvimento desta atividade, que faz parte do processo projetual, bem como descrevemos sucintamente os principais processos de visualização aplicáveis. Estes disponibilizados a partir da oferta de tecnologia proveniente de diversos meios, dentre os quais, citamos os principais que vêm sendo investigados. Concluímos, ressaltando a importância do desenvolvimento de pesquisas que norteiem processos de seleção e avaliação da aplicabilidade destas novas tecnologias.

Published: June 2021

A partir de inquietações docentes sobre as dificuldades de estudantes de arquitetura com o desenho em perspectiva ao longo do processo formativo, que compreende no mínimo cinco anos, imerge-se em teorias piagetianas na expectativa de melhor compreender tais dificuldades. Parte-se de uma análise comparativa de desenhos produzidos, em um contexto específico, nos momentos inicial e de conclusão de curso. Os desenhos analisados foram produzidos entre 2014 e 2019. Utiliza-se, especificamente, a teoria da equilibração das estruturas cognitivas e da abstração reflexionante, para pensar a construção de conhecimento sobre a lógica de sistemas projetivos. Este exercício tem permitido aguçar a percepção e identificar os elementos indicativos da tomada de consciência destas lógicas, por parte de cada estudante. Os resultados, sem o propósito de categorizar o perfil dos participantes, questionam o estabelecimento efetivo de um processo de abstração reflexionante junto à atividade de representar a mão livre, mesmo entre os concluintes. E, com isto, contribuem para a formação docente na área de representação, construindo critérios e apontando estratégias para a configuração de discursos didáticos que possam auxiliar, de maneira objetiva, os estudantes a aperfeiçoarem tal habilidade.

Published: June 2021

Apresenta-se um artefato arquitetônico como um caso de aplicação de uma geometria não euclidiana à arquitetura de um protótipo de uso temporário, denominado Casula. Concebido pelos autores e construído com a participação de um grupo de alunos de graduação em arquitetura e urbanismo, o objeto traduz uma geometria complexa, obtida a partir da deformação de uma forma cúbica, utilizando  softwares de modelagem e codificação, com base na técnica do seccionamento por empilhamento paralelo. Insere-se no universo das experimentações com objetos tridimensionais  acentuadamente nos últimos vinte anos, que utilizam de métodos digitais, visando expandir as possibilidades da produção material e formal. Neste contexto, casos de experimentos na escala de 1:1, como o aqui discutido, têm desempenhado um papel importante no design e na arquitetura, já que os limites entre pensar e o fazer, projetar e fabricar, protótipo e projeto final tornam-se tênues, passando a incorporar um processo interativo e com meios de inovação não lineares. Inicia-se o estudo com uma contextualização acerca do projeto paramétrico e da técnica do seccionamento. Em seguida, discorre-se sobre o processo digital de geração da forma proposta e as etapas envolvendo a construção do protótipo. Na conclusão são discutidos os desafios e resultados positivos obtidos com o experimento.

Diante desse cenário, este trabalho revisa a literatura internacional relacionada à difusão de tecnologias bem como investiga a inserção das mesmas. A relevância do trabalho reside em uma análise sistemática acerca de como a difusão de novas tecnologias aplicadas no campo profissional interfere nos conteúdos trabalhados em sala de aula, inovando as práticas acadêmicas, que por consequência, posteriormente, contribui para o aperfeiçoamento das dinâmicas do mercado de trabalho.
HYBRID REGIME AS BARRIER FOR DEMOCRATIC CONSOLIDATION IN PAKISTAN (2008-2015)
Authors: Ali Wajid , khan Adil , Shah Manzoor Hussain
Published: June 2021

This study argues that hybrid regime in Pakistan (2008-2015) with changing exercise has decreased norms of democratic consolidation. Some extensive gains are made in Pakistan during this era 2008-2015 in terms of democratic norms like constitutional amendments and provincial autonomy. Important unique gain is completion of one term as civilian government of Pakistan People’s Party 2008-2013 and the second civilian government of Pakistan Muslim League (N) 2013-2018. Both the civilian regimes have worked as democratic government, but somehow autocratic trend in decision making approach was observed. Political exercise of this hybrid regime in Pakistan created weak condition of the democratic norms which made way for authoritarianism. This regime was tended to be unbalanced, changeable, or both due to weak civil liberties. The civilian control in this political regime was not stable and transparent in decision making. Further, civilian control over five-areas including public policy, elite recruitment, external defense, internal security, and military organization and was not effective. This paper help us to understand why hybrid regime arose which disturbed democratic consolidation process in Pakistan.

Armored RNA (AR) is a good candidate for creating nuclease-resistant RNA positive controls in the nucleic acid - based assay for RNA viruses. To simplify the production and purifcation of armored RNA, a single plasmid double – expressing His6-tag system was designed. His-tag armored RNA particles were purifed using his-tag affnity. A genomic fragment of the zika virus consisting of the encoding sequences of ﬂavi-M, ﬂavi-E-C protein targeted for zika virus was selected to prepare a positive control. In this study, we have successfully produced His-taged MS2- phage like particles carrying specifc genomic regions (M and E genes) to monitor the procedures of real-time Reverse transcription-PCR for Zika virus detection in one plasmid double expression. AR-ZIKA is completely resistant to DNase and RNase, stable in normal human EDTA plasma at room temperature for at least 60 and 15 days at 40C and room temperature respectively.

Published: June 2021

Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) class I plays a regulatory role in cellular immune response to HIV-1 infection. The role of HLA alleles in HIV progression via viral load and CD4 cell count is well known. HLA class I is polymorphic and distributed differently by nation. This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 303 HIV-1 infected patients in 2014 - 2016, with aims to (i) characterize HLA class I genotype with 4-digit nomenclature and (ii) identify specifc alleles in correlate with CD4 cell counts and HIV viral load. 117 allele genotypes have been identifed, including 28 HLA-A alleles, 54 HLA-B alleles and 35 HLA-C alleles.

Hypertensive patients are more likely to suffer from mental disorders including depression, leading to an increase in disease burden for patients, families, and society. This study aims to determine the depression rate by the PHQ9 scale and some factors related to depression in hypertensive patients in Can Tho City in 2018 - 2019. A cross-sectional study of 772 hypertensive patients in Can Tho City with an average age of 64.6 years (SD: 12.29) was conducted. About 20.3% of patients had depressive symptoms, with an average of 2.66 points (SD: 3.38); in particular mild depression 16.5%; average 4.3%; heavy and very heavy 1.6%. Being female, smoking, alcohol use, exercise, diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90mmHg, systolic blood pressure ≥ 140mmHg were associated with a higher total score with a score of 1.78; 2.37; 1.65; 0.88; 1.02; 3.12 points, respectively. Patients with a normal weight and adherence to treatment had a total reduction of 0.09 points and 0.94 points respectively. While adequate physical activity and normal BMI were considered positive effects on depression with OR = 0.61 and 0.89, adherence to treatment was considered negative one with OR = 1.15. Depression can worsen the condition of hypertension in particular and chronic diseases in general.

Published: June 2021

Sahip olduğu coğrafi özelliklere bağlı olarak Türkiye için hem ekonomik hem de geleneksel açıdan değerli bir ürün olan bağcılık ürünleri genellikle iç tüketime yönelik olarak üretilmektedir. Verimliliği arttırmak, sürdürülebilirliği sağlamak ve bağcılık ürünlerinin dış ticaret içerisindeki payını yükseltebilmek için bu ürünün en uygun yetişme koşullarına sahip alanlarda üretilmesi oldukça büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmada da fiziki ve beşeri coğrafya kriterlerine dayanarak, CBS ve AHP ile Denizli ilinde bağcılık için uygun alanları belirlemek ve bu durumun şarap sektörüne etkisini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç kapsamında öncelikle en uygun ortam koşullarını sağlayan fiziki ve beşeri faktörler belirlenerek alt kategorilere ayrılmış ve her kategorinin mevcut bağ alanları ile korelasyonu hesaplanarak frekans oranı yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Böylece her bir kriterin alacağı puanlar belirlenerek yeniden sınıflandırma yapılmış ve çalışma alanı içerisindeki yüzdeleri bulunmuştur. Sınıflandırılan her bir kriterin toplam alan içerisindeki dağılım yüzdesi, mevcut bağ alanlarının yüzdesine oranlanarak frekans oranları tespit edilmiştir. Analitik hiyerarşi sürecinde ağırlıkları hesaplanan ve doğrulanan kriterler, Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri yazılımları mekânsal analiz araçları aracılığıyla frekans oranlarına bağlı olarak yeniden sınıflandırılarak çakıştırılmış ve bağ için uygun alanlar tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Denizli ili yüzölçümünün yaklaşık %31’i bağ alanları için çok yüksek ve yüksek uygunluk göstermiştir ki, bu değer mevcut tarım alanlarının %70’inden fazlasının üzüm bağları için uygun olduğu anlamına gelmektedir. Dolayısıyla bağ alanlarının desteklenmesiyle daha geniş alanlarda üzüm yetiştirmek mümkün hale gelecektir. Mevcut bağ alanlarının %94’ünün, şarap imalat tesislerinin ise neredeyse tamamının yüksek ve çok yüksek uygunluğa sahip alanlar üzerinde bulunması, Denizli’nin Türkiye şaraplık üzüm üretimindeki önemini koruyacağına işaret etmektedir. Uygun arazi seçimi sonucu bağ alanlarındaki artış, şarapçılık sektöründe ham madde teminini kolaylaştıracak ve şarap imalat tesislerinin sayısındaki artışla beraber, bağcılık ve şarapçılık kırsal kesimdeki nüfus için iyi bir gelir kaynağı teşkil edebilecektir.

‘A picture is worth a thousand words’ and ‘seeing is believing’. Clearly, images are considered to be incredibly powerful communication tools. The project ‚Images of Change’, which is funded by the Austrian Climate Research Program, wants to harness the power of visuals in climate change communication. To do so, the project focusses at developing different visual communication formats aimed at young adults, with the goal to support a better understanding of facts and invite climate friendly behavior as well as policy acceptance. In order to hit the ground running, existing (visual) climate change communication formats of different national meteorological and environmental organizations, academia, the media as well as non- governmental organizations (NGOs) were collected, analyzed and compared to best practices as reported in climate communication research. Here, we will present an overview of the key findings from psychological as well as communication research on how to successfully communicate the causes, impacts and solutions of climate change to non-scientists. Specifics on how to engage young adults as well as how to implement visuals in climate change communication in order to achieve the highest impact and increase the motivation to act in a climate friendly manner will also be highlighted. Finally, a selection of existing visual communication campaigns will be presented and discussed. Based on these formats, we will take a deeper look into how the best practice guidelines postulated by the communication science community may be implemented in our own work as climate communicators in academia as well as national weather services.
Association between COVID-19, mobility and environment in Brazilian capitals
Authors: Ibarra Sergio , Dias de Freitas Edmilson
Published: June 2021

Brazil is the country with the highest number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the southern hemisphere, third behind India and U.S globally. Some studies have analyzed the relationship between mobility, meteorology and air pollution, finding that staying out-of-home increases cases about 5 days and deaths about two weeks after the exposure (Ibarra-Espinosa, et al., 2021). In this work we will extend the analyses presented by Ibarra-Espinosa et al., (2021), by including more Brazilian cities. Specifically, the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro is considered a Megacity and monitors meteorology and air pollution, necessary to the analyses. The metropolitan regions of Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte and Curitiba as well. The method consists in applying a semiparametric model (Dominici et al, 2004), but in this case, controllying all the environmental factors and their interactions and the parameter consists in the mobility alone. We will compare local mobility index, as Google Residential Mobility Index (RMI), as done by Ibarra-Espinosa et al., (2021). Due to the high dispersion of the data, COVID-19 will be modeled by quasi-poisson and negative binomial distribution, with generalized additive models (Wood., 2017; Zeileis et al., 2008; R Core Team, 2021).

Illuminating the blind spot of sub-mesoscale phenomena with a dense station network
Authors: Kirsch Bastian , Ament Felix , Hohenegger Cathy , Klocke Daniel
Published: June 2021

Between June and August 2020 an observational network of 103 autonomous ground-based stations covered the greater area (50 km × 35 km) of Hamburg (Germany) within the framework of the FESST@HH field experiment. The purpose of the experiment was to conduct meteorological measurements at sub-mesoscale resolution (500 m to 5 km) to observe phenomena that typically remain unresolved in operational networks. The experimental design focuses on studying cold pools that form through evaporation underneath precipitating clouds and spread on the Earth’s surface.

During the experiment 82 low-cost APOLLO (Autonomous cold POoL LOgger) stations sampled air temperature and pressure at 1 s resolution to adequately capture the rapid signals of horizontally propagating cold-pool fronts. A secondary network of 21 autonomous weather stations with commercial sensors provided additional information on relative humidity, wind speed and precipitation at 10 s resolution. This work introduces the novel type of instruments, describes the generated data set, and presents first results of the experiment.

Over the three-month period the FESST@HH network experienced more than 30 cold-pool events of different strength and size. Case studies demonstrate that the observations allow to capture the internal structure and growth of a cold pool and to infer its vertical depth based on the hydrostatic assumption. The data set does not only provide novel insights into the life cycle of cold pools, but also opens new perspectives on phenomena like the urban heat island. Moreover, the experiment may serve as a prototype for the design of future observational networks, including citizen science approaches.
Future precipitation changes over the eastern Adriatic and Dinaric Alps areas in the latest EURO-CORDEX ensemble
Authors: Ivušić Sarah , Güttler Ivan , Horvath Kristian
Published: June 2021

The topographically complex coastal-mountainous region of the eastern Adriatic and Dinaric Alps is one of the rainiest areas in the Mediterranean and particularly vulnerable to climate change. The aim is to estimate the future climate change of precipitation over this region over which research on this subject is still limited. We use the climate projections from the latest EURO-CORDEX ensemble at 0.11° resolution. The ensemble is comprised of 14 regional climate models (RCMs) driven by eight CMIP5 global climate models (GCMs), a total of 68 members. The climate change signal is examined for the far future period (2071-2100) with respect to the historical period (1971-2000) for one greenhouse gases concentration scenario, particularly for RCP8.5. Total precipitation shows a considerable reduction in summer months, while in winter it is projected to increase in the northern part of the region and to decrease in southern parts, displaying the known south-north gradients. Accordingly, the number of rainy days is projected to decrease by the end of the century, especially during summer over the entire region and in winter over the southern parts. However, the precipitation intensity increase can be expected by the end of the century, especially during the winter months, while in the summer there is no clear consensus between different models. Also, an increase in extreme precipitation is projected during the winter months, while during summer months a similar south-north gradient is shown as for total precipitation. A more detailed analysis for multiple future periods and greenhouse gases concentration scenarios, with an emphasis on extreme precipitation, is planned.
