Authors: Ribeiro de Mello Andressa , De Almeida Menezes Isabela , Mascarenhas Oliveira Ester
Published: February 2024

A pandemia de covid-19 se desenvolveu enquanto um grande desafio para os profissionais da saúde e toda a comunidade científica. Mediante as mudanças que foram estabelecidas e ne-cessárias em decorrência da alta capacidade de disseminação do coronavírus, o corpo de en-fermagem precisou se diferenciar para dar continuidade ao cuidado em saúde. A partir da necessidade de assistir a comunidade, foi implantando então a telenfermagem enquanto fer-ramenta para alcançar a população, através do uso de meios eletrônicos para nortear a prática da teleconsulta. Tal apoio tecnológico permitiu que a enfermagem fornecesse o su-porte físico e mental para aqueles que enfrentavam o isolamento social, uma vez que a saú-de psicológica foi fortemente afetada em decorrência do prolongado período de solidão, especialmente para os idosos. A pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, realizou um levanta-mento com 47 acadêmi-cas(os) de enfermagem matriculados entre o segundo e o décimo semestre que estu-dem/atuam no Centro de Atendimento ao Cidadão (CaC) do Centro Uni-versitário de Brasília (CEUB), com o objetivo de conhecer a percepção de acadêmicas(os) de enfermagem sobre a realização da telenfermagem. Diante da Teoria das Relações Interpessoais de Peplau, foi pos-sível sistematizar e observar como a presença do modelo psicodinâmico da teorista, estimulou a implementação da telenfermagem durante a pandemia por coronavírus. Os entrevistados aapontaram sobre os desafios e as potencialidades advindos dessa nova modalidade de cui-dado e expuseram a opinião sobre como a teleconsulta de enfermagem interferiu na vivência das pessoas atendidas.

A considerable amount of literature has established the under-representation of Black women academics in South Africa and abroad. Several factors continue to contribute to the lack of transformation in most institutions of higher learning in the country. Despite this challenge, a number of women have managed to succeed irrespective of the institutional culture and structures of exclusion. This study explored literature on mentoring as a tool for Black African women and underrepresented minority groups within the academic space to enhance diversity, equality, and inclusion. The study has shown the impact of mentorship in giving women an opportunity to grow and advance within the academic space and the importance of representation.
Gendering the Decision-Making Positions in Higher Education: A Cross-Sectional Gender Audit in Three Selected Universities in Malawi
Authors: Kamwendo Juliet
Published: February 2024

Malawi is one of the countries that has doubled its efforts to narrow the gender gap since the 1995 Beijing Platform for Action. The country ratified both international and regional gender protocols as well as enacting the national gender policy to safeguard gender equality at all levels to empower women. The participation of women in decision-making positions is therefore critical at this point. Many researchers globally have claimed that having more women in strategic leadership roles would help to reduce workplace restrictions and influence policies. This paper therefore discusses the gender representation of women in decision-making in higher education at University of Malawi, the Malawi University of Science and Technology, and Mzuzu University. The findings reveal a stagnated culture of colonial regime sustained by with patriarchal structure which continue to favour men in decision-making positions at the expense of women. In addition, all three institutions suffer gender-blind promotion criteria and systematic institutional resistance which makes it difficult for women to ascend to decision-making positions hence the hierarchy is highly dominated by males. The paper provides recommendations as follows: (i) promoting women in research in order to allow more women in positions of decision-making, (ii) repurposing the institution gender policies, (iii) women agency change of mindset and make concerted efforts to emancipate themselves from negative stereotypes and barriers in institutions.
A Conceptual Framework for Mentorship Support to Early-Career Black Women Academics in South Africa A Conceptual Framework for Mentorship Support to Early-Career Black Women Academics in South Africa

Published: February 2024

Globally, career development is a challenge for women academics at higher education institutions. In South African higher education institutions, Black women academics still lag in terms of career progression and their representation in leadership positions compared to their male counterparts. While structural and systemic challenges contribute to this, a lack of formal mentorship support for Black women academics is among the underlying reasons. Against this background, using various mentorship models applied in higher education institutions as the theoretical lens, this book chapter explores a conceptual framework for mentorship support to early-career Black women academics, which will often happen in a cross-cultural context due to historical imbalances. Through a qualitative research approach, a narrative literature review is provided based on content analysis of literature, both peer-reviewed and non-reviewed. Through a conceptual framework, this chapter provides insight regarding the type of mentorship support that is required to advance the career development trajectory of early-career Black women academics in South Africa, considering the paucity of women’s mentorship programs at most of our higher education institutions. Recommendations propose how mentorships can be integrated into the formal career development trajectory of these academics.
The Importance of Mentorship Opportunities for Women in Academia: A Systematic Review
Authors: Ntshongwana Zintle
Published: February 2024

This paper aims to review the literature on the importance of mentoring in academia, specifically focusing on enhancing women's careers in academia. This study focuses on studies published between 2000-2023. Due to gender imbalance in academia, mentoring of early-career female academics has been recognised as instrumental in improving their aspirations. However, this tool is not receiving the recognition that it deserves, especially for women in academia. It further briefly discusses how mentoring is used as a resource to foster institutional change and decolonise entrenched academic promotion practices of paternalism. Radical feminist theory underpinned this study as this theoretical position helps explain the power inequalities that occur in higher education institutions (HEIs) and women’s communities and how these in turn inhibit the progress of women in academia. Furthermore, the African philosophy of Ubuntu is also used to explain how women can be supported in academia using indigenous African epistemology. A systematic review approach was used by searching for studies that focused on the importance of mentoring in academia. The findings of the review revealed numerous significant challenges that women in academia encounter. In addition, various benefits of mentoring were uncovered and discussed

Abstract. The apparent volatility of atmospheric organic aerosol (OA) particles is determined by their chemical composition and environmental conditions (e.g., ambient temperature). A quantitative, experimental assessment of volatility and the respective importance of these two factors remains challenging, especially in ambient measurements. We present molecular composition and volatility of oxygenated OA (OOA) particles in different rural, urban, and mountain environments (including Chacaltaya, Bolivia; Alabama, US; Hyytiälä, Finland; Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, Germany; and Delhi, India) based on deployments of a filter inlet for gases and aerosols coupled to a high-resolution time-of-flight chemical ionization mass spectrometer (FIGAERO-CIMS). We find on average larger carbon numbers (nC​​​​​​​) and lower oxygen-to-carbon (O : C) ratios at the urban sites (nC: 9.8 ± 0.7; O : C: 0.76 ± 0.03; average ±1 standard deviation) compared to the rural (nC: 8.8 ± 0.6; O : C: 0.80 ± 0.05) and mountain stations (nC: 8.1 ± 0.8; O : C: 0.91 ± 0.07), indicative of different emission sources and chemistry. Compounds containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms (CHO) contribute the most to the total OOA mass at the rural sites (79.9 ± 5.2 %), in accordance with their proximity to forested areas (66.2 ± 5.5 % at the mountain sites and 72.6 ± 4.3 % at the urban sites). The largest contribution of nitrogen-containing compounds (CHON) is found at the urban stations (27.1 ± 4.3 %), consistent with their higher NOx levels. Moreover, we parametrize OOA volatility (saturation mass concentrations, Csat) using molecular composition information and compare it with the bulk apparent volatility derived from thermal desorption of the OOA particles within the FIGAERO. We find differences in Csat values of up to ∼ 3 orders of magnitude and variation in thermal desorption profiles (thermograms) across different locations and systems. From our study, we draw the general conclusion that environmental conditions (e.g., ambient temperature) do not directly affect OOA apparent volatility but rather indirectly by influencing the sources and chemistry of the environment and thus the chemical composition. The comprehensive dataset provides results that show the complex thermodynamics and chemistry of OOA and their changes during its lifetime in the atmosphere. We conclude that generally the chemical description of OOA suffices to predict its apparent volatility, at least qualitatively. Our study thus provides new insights that will help guide choices of, e.g., descriptions of OOA volatility in different model frameworks such as air quality models and cloud parcel models.
How well can persistent contrails be predicted? – An update
Authors: Hofer Sina Maria , Gierens Klaus Martin , Rohs Susanne
Published: February 2024

Abstract. The total aviation effective radiative forcing is dominated by non − CO2 effects. The largest contributors to the non − CO2 effects are contrails and contrail cirrus. There is the possibility of reducing the climate effect of aviation by avoiding flying through ice supersaturated regions (ISSRs), where contrails can last for hours (so-called persistent contrails). Therefore, a precise prediction of the specific location and time of these regions is needed. But a prediction of the frequency and degree of ice supersaturation (ISS) on cruise altitudes is currently very challenging and associated with great uncertainties because of the strong variability of the water vapour field, the low number of humidity measurements at air traffic altitude, and the oversimplified parameterisations of cloud physics in weather models. Since ISS is more common in some dynamical regimes than in others, the aim of this study is to find variables/proxies that are related to the formation of ISSRs and to use these for a regression method to predict persistent contrails. To find the best suited proxies for regressions, we use various methods of information theory. These include the log-likelihood ratios, known from the Bayes’ theorem, a modified form of the Kullback-Leibler divergence and the mutual information. The variables (the relative humidity with respect to ice RHiERA5, the temperature T , the vertical velocity ω, the divergence DIV , the relative vorticity ζ, the potential vorticity PV , the normalised geopotential height Z and the local lapse rate γ) come from ERA5 and RHiM/I, which we assume as the truth, comes from MOZAIC/IAGOS (commercial aircraft measurements). It turns out, that RHiERA5 is the most important predictor of ice supersaturation, in spite of its weaknesses, and all other variables do not help much to achieve better results. Without RHiERA5, a regression to predict ISSRs is not successful. Certain modifications of RHiERA5 before the regression (as suggested in recent papers) do not lead to improvements of ISSR prediction. Applying a sensitivity study with artificially modified RHiERA5 distributions point to the origin of the problems with the regression: the conditional distributions of RHiERA5 (conditioned on ISS and non-ISS, from RHiM/I) overlap too heavily in the range 70–100 %, such that for any case in that range it is not clear whether it belongs to an ISSR or not. Evidently, this renders the prediction of contrail persistence very difficult.

Abstract. A prominent ocean region exhibiting depleted oxygen concentration is the northern Indian Ocean, whose projected deoxygenation trend in response to climate change requires a comprehensive understanding of the roles of ocean dynamics. We present newly compiled in situ data across platforms (e.g. cruises, Argo, buoy) in the Indonesian coasts of Sumatra and Java between 2010–2022. Combined with reanalysis products, our data detect oxygen-depleted waters attributed to the eastward advection of the northern Indian Ocean waters and monsoon-driven coastal upwelling. Oxygen limited zones (OLZs, DO < 60 μmol kg-1) occupy various depths off the Sumatra-Java coasts, in which dissolved oxygen (DO) reaches ~40 μmol kg-1 in northwest Sumatra. The eastward propagating Equatorial Counter Current plays a major role in delivering the oxygen-depleted waters during the boreal summer; similarly, the South Equatorial Counter Current in the winter monsoon and the Wyrtki Jet during the transition months. Coastal upwelling regulates DO variations via primary production and the respiration of organic matter at intermediate depths in southern Java as the upwelled waters being advected westward towards Sumatra in the summer monsoon. Indonesian Throughflow with enriched organic matter modifies the oxygenated-depleted waters at its outlets. We observe a trend towards deepened OLZ in western Sumatra, while positive Indian Ocean Dipole events (2006, 2012, 2015, 2019) lower DO in the thermocline depths of southern Java on the interannual timescale. Altogether, high-resolution observational biogeochemical data are key to advance our understanding of dynamical DO changes in the southeastern tropical Indian Ocean under the global deoxygenation trend.
Evaluation of CMIP6 Models Performance in Simulating Historical Biogeochemistry across Southern South China Sea
Authors: Marshal Winfred , Chung Jing Xiang , Mohd Akhir Mohd Fadzil Bin
Published: February 2024

Abstract. This study evaluates the ability of Earth System Models (ESMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) to simulate biogeochemical variables in the southern South China Sea (SCS). The analysis focuses on chlorophyll, phytoplankton, nitrate, and oxygen at annual and seasonal scales. The models' performance is assessed against Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) data using statistical metrics such as the Taylor diagram and Taylor skill score. The results show that the models generally capture the observed spatial patterns of biogeochemical variables but exhibit varying degrees of overestimation or underestimation. The performance of the models is also influenced by the season, with some models showing better performance during the southwest monsoon than the northeast monsoon. Overall, the top five best-performing models for biogeochemical variables are MIROC-ES2H, GFDL-ESM4, CanESM5-CanOE, MPI-ESM1-2-LR, and NorESM2-LM. The findings of this study have implications for researchers and end-users of the datasets, providing guidance for model improvement and understanding the impacts of climate change on the SCS ecosystem.
Towards variance-conserving reconstructions of climate indices with Gaussian process regression in an embedding space
Authors: Klockmann Marlene , von Toussaint Udo , Zorita Eduardo
Published: February 2024

Abstract. We present a new framework for the reconstruction of climate indices based on proxy data such as tree rings. The framework is based on the supervised learning method Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) and aims at preserving the amplitude of past climate variability. It can adequately handle noise-contaminated proxies and variable proxy availability over time. To this end, the GPR is formulated in a modified input space, termed here embedding space. We test the new framework for the reconstruction of the Atlantic multi-decadal variability (AMV) in a controlled environment with pseudo-proxies derived from coupled climate-model simulations. In this test environment, the GPR outperforms benchmark reconstructions based on multi-linear principal component regression. On AMV-relevant timescales, i.e. multi-decadal, the GPR is able to reconstruct the true amplitude of variability even if the proxies contain a realistic non-climatic noise signal and become sparser back in time. Thus, we conclude that the embedded GPR framework is a highly promising tool for climate-index reconstructions.
The impact of future climate projections and anthropogenic activities on basin-scale groundwater availability
Authors: Rusli Steven Reinaldo , Bense Victor F. , Mustafa Syed M. T. , Weerts Albrecht H.
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Groundwater is under the pressure of changing climate and increasing anthropogenic demand. In this study, we project the effect of these two processes on the projected future groundwater status. Climate projections of Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and RCP8.5 from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) drive a one-way coupled fully distributed hydrological and groundwater model. In addition, three plausible groundwater abstraction scenarios with diverging predictions from increasing, constant, to decreasing volumes and spatial distribution are used. Groundwater status projections are assessed for the short-term (2030), mid-term (2050), and long-term (2100) periods. We use the Bandung groundwater basin as our study case, located 120 km from the current capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta, which is currently under a relocation plan. It is selected as the future anthropogenic uncertainties in the basin, related to the projected groundwater abstraction, is in agreement with our developed scenarios. Results show that changes in the projected climate input, including intensifying rainfall and rising temperature, do not propagate notable changes in groundwater recharge. Under the current unsustainable groundwater abstraction rate, the confined piezometric heads are projected to drop up to a maximum of 7.14 m, 15.25 m, and 29.51 m in 2030, 2050, and 2100, respectively. When groundwater abstraction expands in proportion to the present population growth, the impact is worsened almost two-fold. In contrast, if the groundwater abstraction decreases because of the relocated capital city, the groundwater storage starts to show replenishment potential. As a whole, projected groundwater status changes are dominated by anthropogenic activity, and less so by changes in climatic forcing. The results of this study are expected to demonstrate and inform responsible parties in operational water management on the issue of the impact of projected climate forcing and anthropogenic activity on future groundwater status.

To retrieve SWC from observed neutron intensities, local measurements of SWC are typically required to calibrate a location-specific parameter, N0, in the corresponding transfer function. In this study, we develop a generalized conversion function that explicitly takes into account the different factors that govern local neutron intensity. Thus, the parameter N0 becomes location independent, i.e. generally applicable. We demonstrate the feasibility of such a “general calibration function” by analysing 75 CRNS sites from four recently published datasets. Given the choice between the two calibration strategies – local or general – users will wonder which one is preferable. To answer this question, we estimated the resulting uncertainty in the SWC by means of error propagation. While the uncertainty in the local calibration depends on both the local reference SWC itself and its error, the uncertainty in the general calibration is mainly governed by the errors in vegetation biomass and soil bulk density. Our results suggest that a local calibration – generally considered best practice – might often not be the best option. In order to support the decision which calibration strategy – local or general – is actually preferable in the user-specific application context, we provide an interactive online tool that assesses the uncertainty in both options (https://cosmic-sense.github.io/local-or-global, last access: 23 February 2024).

The consumer movement paradoxically emphasizes customer autonomy while acknowledging the drawbacks of excessive wealth pursuit and debt entanglement. This research deals with the impact of consumerism on individuals and society, framed within the context of Islamic teachings. Analysing consumerist behaviours, the study explores their alignment with Islamic principles and their effects on the socio-economic landscape. The research contributes a nuanced perspective on the implications of consumerism, emphasizing its correlation with Islamic values. By examining key themes, such as individual behaviour and societal consequences, the study sheds light on the intricate interplay between consumerism and Islamic teachings. This comprehensive analysis aims to deepen our understanding of these dynamics, offering valuable insights into navigating contemporary challenges while upholding Islamic values in the realm of consumption. Moreover, this study explores the concept, revealing that unchecked materialism can lead to more problems than benefits, causing mental and practical harm to the masses.
Essays on environmental issues and human behaviour under uncertainty
Authors:   , Meya Khil Mohammad Yasir
Published: February 2024

This thesis explores the relationship between environmental issues and human behaviour under uncertainty within Overlapping Generations models of economic growth. Initially adhering to normative neoclassical frameworks, it then advances to integrate behavioural economic theories, such as Cumulative Prospect Theory and Rank Dependent Utility Theory, to dissect decision-making processes. By bridging traditional economic growth analyses with behavioural insights, it sheds light on how behaviours influenced by uncertainty shape environmental outcomes. This investigation offers profound insights into the complex mechanisms driving economic and environmental change over time.

Freedom in an Age of Repression: The Role of Black Theology and Black-Produced Media in Forging Freedom
Authors: Arce Wendy M.
Published: February 2024

This paper will explore the role that black theology and black-produced films of 2016 play in creating a narrative that seeks freedom for African Americans in the United States during this age of brutality and mass incarceration. Starting with Alexander's The New Jim Crow and Duvernay's 13th, this paper illustrates how the media and the legal system have worked together to create a culture of criminality still imposed on black youth. Theologians Cone and Brown Douglas rely on the concepts of God's freedom, God's revolutionary love and faithful action to resist such a hostile culture, but two black-produced films of 2016 also rely on the concept of freedom in the face of criminality. Birth of a Nation not only to shows a positive portrayal of black men in the media, but Moonlight illustrates the complexity of growing up in communities that are repressed by this hostile culture.
Israrlı Takip Suçunun Suç Teorisi ile Uyumu Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme

Ülkemiz ve dünyadaki istatistiki veriler ile uluslararası hukukta atılan yasal adımlara bakıldığında kamuoyunda oluşan haklı beklentiyi karşılamak ve nihayetinde kişilerin huzurlu bir hayat sürme hakkını korumak adına, 12.5.2022 tarih ve 7406 sayılı Kanunla birlikte TCK m. 123/A altında ısrarlı takip suçu, Türk hukuk sisteminde yerini almıştır. TCK’da hürriyete karşı suçlar altında konumlandırılan bu yeni düzenleme, suçun yapısal unsurları bakımından değerlendirmeye muhtaçtır. Bu noktada fail ve mağdurun kimler olabileceği, seçimlik hareketlerin yorumu, kastın kapsamı, onunla bağlantılı şekilde hata kurumunun yansımaları ve suçun özel görünüş şekilleri ayrı ayrı incelenmelidir. Konu analizinde Alman Ceza Kanunu 238. maddesinde yer alan düzenleme ve ilgili norm hakkındaki doktrin görüşlerinden de istifade edilmiştir. TCK m. 123/A hükmünün henüz 2022 tarihinde hukuk sistemine giren yeni bir norm olması ve ısrarlı takibin sözlü davranışın tipik hareketin parçası olduğu cinsel taciz, tehdit, hakaret gibi suçlarla birlikte işlenebilme olasılığı karşısında, maddi ceza hukuku perspektifinden yaptığımız hukuki analizlerin Türk hukuk doktrinine katkı sunması ve uygulamaya yol göstermesi umut edilmektedir.
Afghan Enghlish Pronunciation Intelligibility: A Historically Segmental Phonetic Approach

Published: February 2024

The increasing demand for English learning and usage; and the instruction supply turns this work a mandatory structure to identify the divergences and convergences. This research examines the English pronunciation intelligibility features – precisely focused on segmentals – in case of Afghanistan. In order to do so, primarily, the recordings are analyzed perceptually and the deviations are verified acoustically.  This research employees sociolinguistic variables for examination. The level of intelligibility of this variation along the international platform has been scrutinized. In methodological framework, respondents recorded data has been used as an intelligibility test material in the three concentric circles – inner, outer, and expanding – proposed by (Kachru, 1985). The topic entailment is vast. The researcher intends to comprehensively look into English pronunciation of Afghans pertaining in the context of Phonetic segmentals.

The medium-term effects of fiscal policy rules
Authors:   Alpha Bank and University of Patras, Chrysanthakopoulos Christos , Tagkalakis Athanasios
Published: February 2024

Using a panel of 86 advanced and emerging market economies over the period 1985-2020, we investigate the short-to-medium term effects of fiscal rules on primary balances. We examine various types of rules (expenditure, revenue, debt, and budget balance rules) and various strict and flexible characteristics of fiscal rules. We find that the adoption of fiscal rules leads to a fiscal easing in the medium term, with the effects being more pronounced in emerging market versus advanced economies. We find an asymmetry in the workings of the fiscal rule over the business cycle. In times of expansion, the adoption of a rule leads to an a-cyclical or even procyclical response of the primary balance, while in times of recession fiscal rules induce a countercyclical impact response. Contrary to the baseline evidence, fiscal rules lead to a prudent fiscal policy response over the medium term when the debt ratio is high, the primary balance does not put the debt ratio on a declining path and the interest-growth rate differential is positive, as well as when the tax revenues generated by the tax system and tax administration are quite low relative to the stock of debt.

Ecosystem structure and function depends on the local and regional species pools, climate, geology, and type and frequency of disturbances. Tropical rain forests have long been growing in relatively stable climatic conditions and little disturbances until recent decades, when large-scale of land conversion into croplands and forest impacts by selective logging activities and forest fires have been more frequently observed. Selective logging causes forest degradation, which requires a rigorous monitoring system to control and mitigate forest impacts and recovery. Overtime forest disturbances and recovery can be estimated by using vegetation indices derived from remotely sensed data that enable us to distinguish disturbed from undisturbed forests and estimate the degree of those disturbances. This study aimed to assess the suitability of the Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI) to detect selectively logged forests and estimate the forest recovery structure in a study site in the state of Pará, Eastern Amazon region. We retrieved the MSAVI from Landsat imagery to assess forest impacts by selective logging before and after logging. The estimated MSAVI index before and after logging activities were significantly different and enabled us to distinguish forest recovery structures after selective logging in the study site. Our methodological approach can be used to monitor selective logging activities and support planning of Sustainable Forest Management in tropical regions.
