Coastal erosion dynamics of high-Arctic rock walls: insights from historical to recent orthoimages and DEMs 
Authors: Aga Juditha , Piermattei Livia , Girod Luc , Westermann Sebastian
Published: March 2022

The thermal regime of permafrost, as well as the retreat of sea ice, influence coastal erosion in Arctic environments. Warming permafrost temperatures might lead to enhanced instabilities, while shorter periods of sea ice expose coastal cliffs to waves and tides for longer periods. Although most studies focus on erosion rates in ice-rich permafrost, coastal cliffs and their permafrost thermal regime are still poorly understood.

In this study, we investigate the long-term evolution of the coastline along Brøgger Peninsula (~30 km2), Svalbard. Based on high-resolution aerial orthophotos and, when available, digital elevation model (DEMs) we automatically derive the coastline from 1936 (Geyman et al., 2021), 1970, 1990, 2011 and 2021. Therefore, we quantified coastal erosion rates along the coastal cliffs over the last 85 years. Due to their high spatial resolution and accuracy, the two DEMs from 1970 and 2021 are used to calculate the erosion volumes within this time. Elevation data and coastline mapping from 2021 is validated with dGPS measurements from August 2021 along three transects of the coastline. In addition, we measured surface temperature of the coastal bedrock from September 2020 to August 2021.

Our preliminary results show erosion rates along the coastal cliffs of Brøgger Peninsula. Uncertainties remain due to mapping issues, which include resolution of aerial images and DEMs, and shadow effects. Overall, historical aerial images combined with recent data provide insight into coastal evolution in an Arctic environment where permafrost temperatures are close to the thaw threshold and might become prone to failure in future.

Published: March 2022

Droughts are impactful climate extremes with proven dramatic consequences on economy, ecosystems and society. Numerous research has been devoted to exploring land surface controls on meteorological drought onset and evolution. However, the importance of land conditions may be equally important for drought termination, yet the latter remains much less understood. Drought demise is often abrupt, can lead to extreme rainfall and floods, and is generally hard to capture using traditional monthly drought metrics. A better predictability of the end of a drought can not only help better anticipate the duration of droughts, but also significantly improve risk assessment and water resource management during dry extremes.

In this study, we explore the existence of a positive or negative feedback between the decreasing soil moisture and the probability of drought termination. As test cases, multiple droughts in Belgium during the period of 1981–2015 are selected. As a first step, we compose a data set of past droughts based on precipitation and soil moisture from ECMWF reanalysis data and identify the drought termination days. Next, multiple simulations of the drought termination days are executed with the CLASS4GL mixed-layer model framework, in which the influence of changing soil moisture conditions is evaluated. Finally, the sensitivity of drought demise to soil moisture is assessed based on multiple soil moisture–atmosphere coupling metrics and revealed sensitivity relationships. The obtained results highlight the importance of realistic representation of land–atmosphere feedbacks and soil moisture for drought evolution and termination, and could be used to inform drought prediction efforts or pave the way for effective geoengineering solutions designed to mitigate the increasing risk of dry climate extremes in the future.
Deep learning for laboratory earthquake prediction and autoregressive forecasting of fault zone stress
Authors: Laurenti Laura , Tinti Elisa , Galasso Fabio , Franco Luca , Marone Chris
Published: March 2022

Earthquakes forecasting and prediction have long, and in some cases sordid, histories but recent work has rekindled interest in this area based on advances in short-term early warning, hazard assessment for human induced seismicity and successful prediction of laboratory earthquakes.

In the lab, frictional stick-slip events provide an analog for the full seismic cycle and such experiments have played a central role in understanding the onset of failure and the dynamics of earthquake rupture. Lab earthquakes are also ideal targets for machine learning (ML) techniques because they can be produced in long sequences under a wide range of controlled conditions. Indeed, recent work shows that labquakes can be predicted from fault zone acoustic emissions (AE). Here, we generalize these results and explore additional ML and deep learning (DL) methods for labquake prediction. Key questions include whether improved ML/DL methods can outperform existing models, including prediction based on limited training, or if such methods can successfully forecast beyond a single seismic cycle for aperiodic failure. We describe significant improvements to existing methods of labquake prediction using simple AE statistics (variance) and DL models such as Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolution Neural Network (CNN). We demonstrate: 1) that LSTMs and CNNs predict labquakes under a variety of conditions, including pre-seismic creep, aperiodic events and alternating slow and fast events and 2) that fault zone stress can be predicted with fidelity (accuracy in terms of R2 > 0.92), confirming that acoustic energy is a fingerprint of the fault zone stress. We predict also time to start of failure (TTsF) and time to the end of Failure (TTeF). Interestingly, TTeF is successfully predicted in all seismic cycles, while the TTsF prediction varies with the amount of fault creep before an event. We also report on a novel autoregressive forecasting method to predict future fault zone states, focusing on shear stress. This forecasting model is distinct from existing predictive models, which predict only the current state. We compare three modern approaches in sequence modeling framework: LSTM, Temporal Convolution Network (TCN) and Transformer Network (TF). Results are encouraging in forecasting the shear stress at long-term future horizons, autoregressively. Our ML/DL prediction models outperform the state of the art and our autoregressive model represents a novel forecasting framework that could enhance current methods of earthquake forecasting.

Published: March 2022

Single-frequency microwave links can be used to monitor path-averaged precipitation by determining the rain-induced attenuation along the link path, as for example is done with commercial microwave links (CMLs) from cellular telecommunication networks. However, using these networks to estimate precipitation, the temporal resolution of these estimates is bound to the temporal sampling strategy employed by the network operator, which solely uses the information on the link signal to assure the functioning of the network. Moreover, not all operators store the same variables describing the link signal. Most commonly, a temporal resolution of 15 minutes with a recording of the minimum and maximum values during this interval is applied. For research purposes, often higher temporal resolutions in combination with averaged values are preferred. Yet, it is uncertain how these sampling strategies affect the computed amount and intensity of rainfall. To address this uncertainty, we investigate the influence of various temporal sampling strategies regarding the link signal on the estimated amounts and intensities of rainfall events from a single microwave link. For the analysis, we resample microwave link data to multiple intervals and variables characterizing the measured signal. The original data consist of three collocated microwave links sampled at 20 Hz, all operational for more than a year, and covering a 2.2 km path over the city Wageningen in the Netherlands. Additionally, the resulting rainfall estimates for the intervals and variables are compared to measurements of five disdrometers deployed along the link path. Overall, the results of this study can help to quantify the uncertainties associated with rainfall estimates from microwave links.

Published: March 2022

According to the projections of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) the impact of global warming would be detrimental for ensuring food security in the 21st century. High temperature stress in different agro-climatic zones uniformly decreases crop yield, primarily due to shortened life cycle and hastened senescence leading to considerable pre- and post-harvest losses. The only available solution for tacking this challenge includes breeding thermal stress tolerant cultivars with equivalent crop yield potential. Though this strategy has many handicaps, the foremost being huge time investments for generating stable cultivars. Hence, exploring all the possible alternatives is a high priority to ensure sustainable crop production. These results demonstrate the role of seed biopriming with a thermotolerant strain of Trichoderma sp. capable of surviving at 470C for the mitigation of thermal stress effects in tomato. Based on these results it was concluded that Trichoderma mediated reprogramming of oxidative stress markers and defense network to enhance thermal tolerance in tomato. The results of the aforementioned biochemical analysis were cross validated through histochemical and HPLC analysis. In addition, the complex route of plant-microbe interaction under both ambient and stressed conditions were also mapped using 2D gel electrophoresis and hydroponics approach. During this presentation, the fascinating journey beginning from the isolation, characterization, and identification of this thermotolerant strain of Trichoderma sp. to its formulation development will be discussed in detail.

Decadal predictability of the North Atlantic eddy-driven jet in winter and summer within CMIP6
Authors: Marcheggiani Andrea , Robson Jon , Monerie Paul-Arthur , Bricegirdle Thomas , Smith Doug
Published: March 2022

Recently it has been shown that initialised climate predictions capture the decadal variability of the winter NAO with high skill. However, the signal from models is often hidden among their large internal variability, which results in a low signal-to-noise ratio. In this study, we quantify the skill of the North Atlantic eddy-driven jet’s location and intensity, both in summer and winter. We focus on multi-model decadal predictions made for CMIP6. Overall, we find that models feature a higher skill (as featured by the Anomaly Correlation Coefficient) in predicting the intensity of the jet than its location. For years 2-9, the high winter NAO skill is largely associated with skilful prediction of the jet speed. However, skill in summer is considerably worse than in winter, with models consistently failing to capture the observed southward shift of the Jet between the 1970s and 2010s. Finally, we also show that the skill for the winter NAO is sensitive to the period over which it is computed, and skill drops considerably when evaluating up to the present day, as models fail to capture the observed northern shift and strengthening of the winter eddy-driven jet over the period 2005-2020, as well as the positive trend in the winter NAO.
Geodetic climate research in the Austrian Alps
Authors: Ullrich Christian , Francis Olivier , Tabibi Sajad , Titz Helmut
Published: March 2022

The Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying (BEV) in Austria is responsible for the geodetic reference system like gravity and height reference frame. Some of these gravity reference stations are monitored regularly by different geodetic terrestrial techniques. The gravity data on some stations show variations and/or changes in gravity. In this presentation, the alpine geodetic reference stations Obergurgl and Franz-Josefs- Höhe in the Austrian eastern Alps will be presented. Both stations are investigated with different geodetic terrestrial techniques in a cooperation of the University of Luxemburg with BEV.

Global warming and associated climate change during the last century and recent decades are among the main reasons for glacier retreat in the Alps. Absolute gravity measurements have been regularly performed in the Austrian Eastern Alps since 1987 in the Ötztal Valley at Obergurgl. In addition, absolute gravity has been regularly observed at Obergurgl from 1987 to 2009 with the absolute gravimeter JILAg6. From 2010, the absolute gravity measurements were continued with the highest accurate absolute gravimeters FG5 from BEV and FG5x from University of Luxemburg. The newest gravity data show again a small increase of gravity. Additionally, a permanent GNSS station was established in 2019 to record information about the assumed vertical uplift at this station.

A second alpine research station was established near the Pasterze Glacier at Großglockner Mountain in 2019. The Pasterze Glacier is one of the largest glaciers in the eastern Alps and is in the vicinity of the highest mountain of Austria, the Großglockner. The station is monitored by repeated absolute gravity measurements and is equipped with a permanent GNSS station. In addition, precise leveling measurements were also tied to this station. In this contribution, initial results of the geodetic research like the gravity results, precise leveling and GNSS measurements will be presented. In the future, gravity data will be quantitively compared to ice mass balance information derived from glacier inventories. A Geodetic Global Navigation Satellite System reflectometry (GNSS-R) antenna will also be installed to study glacier-ice change. A third station at an altitude of 3300 m is planned and will be checked for operating absolute gravity measurements there. The geodynamical processes like vertical uplift and postglacial deformation will be investigated together with glacier retreat on these stations.

Published: March 2022

The European Union set the goal to meet 32% of its final energy consumption from renewable sources by 2030. Other than fossil or nuclear electricity generation, VRE produce electricity not at a few individual locations, but distributed throughout a country. Even though solar PV can be generated on urban infrastructure, e.g. on rooftops or above parking spaces, this potential is limited and costs are usually higher than those for ground mounted PV. It is therefore likely that substantial amounts of solar PV have to be deployed as ground mounted PV and land use conflicts may arise from this infrastructure expansion. Mainly land which is currently under agricultural use would be available for that purpose. As this would imply a competition between food, feed, and electricity production, expansion on that kind of land is discussed controversially. One option for minimizing this conflict is an integrated use of agricultural land, producing both agricultural products and electricity from PV. To better understand the synergies and trade-offs, A thorough analysis of integrated PV and agricultural production on a large scale is necessary.

This work presents a simulation framework to determine electricity as well as crop production of APV systems at high temporal and spatial resolution. Radiation data, digital height data and land cover data function as input data to find suitable areas and simulate the APV system power output.
From thrusting to back-arc extension: seismic structure and field evidence of the Apennine Tyrrhenian margin (Central Italy)
Authors: Vico Giuseppe , Cardello Giovanni Luca
Published: March 2022

The Apennine Tyrrhenian margin records the evolutionary steps of the back-arc basin developed at the rear of a E-ward migrating fold-and-thrust belt. As well-documented in literature, the counterclockwise rotation of the Apennines is related to the southward increase of the roll back-related subduction of the Adria slab. This led first to the progressive incorporation of thrust sheets within the Apennine prism in the upper plate and later to its subsequent back-arc extension that is contemporaneous with the continuate inarching of the Apennine front towards the Adriatic and Ionian seas. Uncertainties arise on the structural style and timing in the internal Apennines between the orogenic and post-orogenic stages, that are respectively represented by thrust-sheet implacement, and crustal thinning.

We hereby propose a combined 2D seismic and field data review that allows identifying the geodynamic processes preceding the crustal stretching of the Apennine Tyrrhenian margin with new insights from on- and off-shore seismic lines. In particular, the construction of a new geotraverse across the margin, which is stretched over 100 km between the internal Central Apennines belts and the Pontian escarpment, allows to roughly estimate: i) the Late Miocene - Earliest Pliocene shortening with its change of the basal decollement depth through time; in particular, subsurface data highlighted stacked thrust sheets that were involved in an initial in-sequence propagation with top-to-the-ENE, synchronous to late Tortonian foredeep to wedge-top sedimentation. We also distinguish late backthrusts related to the formation of triangle zones that are more deeply rooted moving to the western chain interior. ii) The amount of crustal stretching and subsidence; Back arc-related orogenic collapse is preceded by initial orogen uplift and erosion in the internal sectors. iii) The onset of at least two magmatic cycles; in this frame, the lateral slab tearing and retreat is tracked by E-rejuvenated volcanic activity in the upper plate along the Volsci Volcanic Field and the Palmarola-Vesuvius lineaments. Those volcano-tectonic trends are favoured by a series of transtensive structures that progressively reflect the arc expansion in the rear. In this frame, the NE-dipping crustal detachment(s) may have played into crustal thinning during the Pliocene, driving and occasionally hampering magma emplacement, while high-angle faults have locally driven monogenetic eruptions. Finally, we report on field and seismic evidence of neo-tectonics, supporting ongoing extension occurring on the margin.
The 1950-2020 variability of the Greenland Ice Sheet surface mass balance
Authors: Krebs-Kanzow Uta , Rodehacke Christian , Lohmann Gerrit
Published: March 2022

We use the diurnal Energy Balance Model (dEBM) in combination with ERA5 reanalysis forcings to simulate the surface mass balance (SMB) of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). The dEBM (Krebs-Kanzow et al., 2021) is based on the energy balance of glaciated surfaces. In contrast to most empirical schemes, it is physics based and accounts for variations in the radiative forcing due to changes in the Earth's orbit and atmospheric composition. The dEBM scheme only requires monthly atmospheric forcing (precipitation, temperature, shortwave and longwave radiation and cloud cover) and is computationally inexpensive, which makes it particularly suitable to investigate the response of ice sheets to long-term climate change. After calibration and validation, we investigate the contribution of individual climate forcings (temperature, precipitation, clouds and radiation) to the interannual SMB variability.                     

Furthermore, we compare 1979-2016 ERA5 and ERA-Interim with respect to the main atmospheric drivers of the melt season over the GrIS. In summer, ERA5 differs remarkably from ERA-Interim: averaged over the lower parts of the GrIS, the mean near-surface temperature is 1 K lower while mean downward shortwave radiation at the surface is on average 15W/m^2 higher than in ERA-Interim. In consequence those methods which hitherto have estimated the GrIS surface mass balance from the ERA-Interim surface energy balance need to be carefully recalibrated before they can be progressed to ERA5 forcing.

The impact of viscous self-organised phase formation on the lifetime of a fatty acid aerosol proxy: nanometre films to micrometre particles
Authors: Milsom Adam , Squires Adam , Pfrang Christian
Published: March 2022

The atmospheric lifetime of a common fatty acid cooking emission, oleic acid, is longer than what is predicted by laboratory experiments. This could impact on the cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) ability of an aerosol via oleic acid’s role as a surfactant. Oleic acid can self-organise into a range of viscous phases which we showed can have a significant impact on its rate of reaction with the common atmospheric oxidant, ozone. We established this using a number of synchrotron X-ray and neutron experiments which probed this self-organised proxy system from the nanometre to the micrometre scale as levitated particles and coated films. We supported our findings with kinetic multi-layer modelling of these results to demonstrate that the atmospheric lifetime of oleic acid could increase by an order of days upon viscous self-organised phase formation.  There are implications not only for cloud formation and the climate, but more persistent viscous organic material could contribute to the protection of harmful compounds found co-existing with fatty acids in aerosol samples.
Analyzing CO2, CH4 and N2O Concentrations in the Vadose Zone of Several Aquifers of the South of Spain

Published: March 2022

Greenhouse gas (GHG: CO2, CH4 and N2O) concentrations continue to increase in the earth’s atmosphere and they are fully implicated in current global warming. There is a critical need to understand of the cause–effect relationships of GHG emissions and quantify their sources/sinks in the natural systems, as well as its main reservoirs and quantity. In particular, there is a need to understand and quantify GHGs within the vadose zone (as an unknown reservoir), because depending on its porosity it can store different amounts of these gases. The vadose zone, the space between the surface and the groundwater, has an important contribution to the global GHG due to both its high concentrations and the enormous capacity to store gases in its pore space.

At present, the measurements of these three GHGs have been widely studied mainly in the first few meters of the soil, not taking into account the transport and storage processes in deep areas. However, the study of the whole column of the vadose zone should not be neglected since it can make an important contribution to the global GHG balance.  

This study analyses GHG concentrations in the vadose zones of several aquifers of the Andalusian Mediterranean basins. For this purpose, air samples were taken from more than one hundred wells in a total of 22 aquifers with water table depths between 7-240 meters; samples were collected at different depths: 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 meters and one sample was collected at the groundwater boundary; for these reasons, the number of samples per well varied depending on the depth to the water table. These samples and analyses provide profiles of GHG concentrations: with values for CO2 between 103-75030 ppm, for CH4 between 0.02-755 ppm and for N2O between 0.31-1504 ppm. The ultimate objective of the project is to know the GHG  profile, the porosity, depth to the water table, groundwater chemistry and aquifer extension, to estimate underground GHG storage.
Plant-FATE – Predicting the adaptive responses of biodiverse plant communities using functional-trait evolution
Authors: Joshi Jaideep , Prentice Iain Colin , Brännström Åke , Singh Shipra , Hofhansl Florian , Dieckmann Ulf
Published: March 2022

We present Plant-FATE, a trait-size-structured vegetation model in which the time evolution of the size distribution of multiple species is modelled using the McKendrick-von Foerster partial differential equation. In our model, trait structure allows for representing any number of functionally distinct species as points in trait space, while size structure allows for modelling competition for light. To account for the stomatal and biochemical responses of leaves to environmental conditions, including CO2 concentration, vapour pressure deficit, and soil moisture, Plant-FATE incorporates ‘P-hydro’, a unified model for stomatal conductance and photosynthetic capacity [Joshi, J., et al. (2020). Towards a unified theory of plant photosynthesis and hydraulics. bioRxiv 2020.12.17.423132]. To model the resource allocation of plants, Plant-FATE uses an extended version of the ‘T-model’, accounting for crown geometry. In Plant-FATE, the vertical light profile attenuated by the canopy can be (optionally) modelled as a continuous light profile or via the ‘perfect plasticity approximation’ (PPA). Plant-FATE also includes a simple model for the acclimation of the crown leaf area index and an empirically derived model of plant mortality. Here, we present initial results exploring the effect of different trait combinations on the demographics of individual trees and single-species stands. We also analyse the outcomes of pairwise competition between species differing in their traits. Our approach is a step towards developing an eco-evolutionary vegetation model (EEVM) capable of simulating the adaptive responses of biodiverse plant communities to changing environmental conditions.
Respect, Gratitude, and Closure: A Trip of Honor and Remembrance
Authors: Castronovo Lynette M. , Dalstrom Matthew , Messer Brandie
Published: March 2022

Each year, more than 200 World War II, Korea, and Vietnam Veterans participate in the VetsRoll program, a four day bus trip from southern Wisconsin to Washington, D.C. VetsRoll is one of several organizations that bring Veterans to war memorials in Washington, D.C. to assist them in dealing with the socioemotional consequences of their time in service and return home. These programs specifically focus on older Veterans who are at a high risk for developing and/or managing mental health problems as they age. Some of these Veterans have never had the respect, gratitude, and closure necessary to help them cope with their time in service. Data was collected through participant observation and semi-structured interviews on the VetsRoll trip in 2019 and after the trip. Data was analyzed through thematic analysis. Drawing upon the metaphor of a pilgrimage, this paper shifts the lens of analysis away from a myopic focus on memorials or peer support to how the journey itself affects Veterans, the meaning it produces for them, and the lasting impact it has after the trip.

Authors: Longares Segarra María , Beleña Mateo María Ángeles
Published: March 2022

El cáncer entraña la necesidad de llevar a cabo una movilización de los recursos físicos, instrumentales y psicológicos para lograr una adaptación óptima de la persona enferma a su nueva situación. Asimismo, el sufrimiento derivado de la enfermedad lleva a los pacientes a plantearse el sentido de la misma y genera cambios en distintas áreas de la vida. Objetivo: explorar el sentido que la enfermedad posee para los pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello (en adelante CCC) y los cambios derivados de ésta, en relación con las relaciones interpersonales y prioridades vitales de éstos. En segundo lugar, explorar la relación del afrontamiento del cáncer en función del sentido dado a la enfermedad. Método: la muestra está constituida por 114 pacientes diagnosticados de CCC. Se utilizaron los siguientes instrumentos de evaluación: cuestionario de datos sociodemográficos elaborado ad hoc y Mini-Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale (Mini-MAC). Resultados: los pacientes que han dado un sentido negativo a la enfermedad se caracterizan por una mayor evitación cognitiva. Aquellos que han experimentado cambios positivos en sus relaciones personales se caracterizan por afrontar la enfermedad con mayor espíritu de lucha, y los que han vivenciado cambios en sentido negativo afrontan su enfermedad con mayor desamparo/desesperanza. Los pacientes que se dan prioridad a sí mismos obtienen una puntuación más elevada en fatalismo (U = 124,0), con respecto a los que tienen como prioridad su familia y los demás. Conclusión: se ha hallado una relación entre el sentido positivo y los cambios positivos en las relaciones personales con un afrontamiento más adaptativo de la enfermedad. Y un afrontamiento menos adaptativo para quienes tienen como meta sus propias personas, en lugar de la familia o los demás.

This research aims to develop the characteristics of students towards islamic education. In Indonesia itself, there are many students who do not have good attitude or character. In this case, of course the role of parents, teachers or ustadz ustadzah and the surrounding environment is very influential. The need for this kind of education is so that Indonesian students become students who are superior to the previous ummah. In this point, teachers or ustadz ustadzah is very the main point, because almost all student time is spent in the sekloahnya, This is true since many schools are implementing a full day system, especially for students who are mondok certainly less likely to meet or meet with both parents. In the Qur'an and al-Hadith, Allah has upheld the attitude of character or morality. Therefore we as ummahnya must apply it. In this case all methods either for school or pesantren are considered to be enough to help foster character attitudes, especially for the school, parents must also take part in shaping their child's character to be good. In 2014, the islamic state 100,000 people were killed in the attack. Seeing this Indonesia should not be afraid anymore to prepare generai rahmatal lil'alamin and in accordance with the ideology of pancasila.

The ro'an (community service) tradition in the Al-qomar Wahid boarding school plays a role in shaping the character of the students. Tradition is a habit that has been taught from generation to generation and is still being carried out, one of which is the ro'an (community service) activity that has been carried out in the Al-qomar Wahid Islamic boarding school since it was first established. Ro'an (community service) is an activity that students cannot let go of, because it has become something that must be done and ro'an (community service) itself is an activity concerning cleanliness. If the environment is clean, the students will also feel comfortable regardless of the circumstances. This research uses qualitative research with the type of case studies, the data collection methods used are observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques in this study were data collection, data reduction, data presentation, conclusion and verification. Data validity checks using credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability.

Tulisan ini memaparkan tentang pendekatan hermeneutika antara ajaran otoritas dan perilaku otoritarism yang digagas oleh Khalid M. Abou El Fadl.kiPemikiran keislaman lahir dari respon lslam terhadap realitas sosial yang mengakibatkan pemikiran Islam tumbuh subur dan berkembang. Dengan banyaknya pemikir keislaman menyebabkan munculnya berbgai macam persolan yang dihadapi, dan tentunya sebanyak jumlah dari pemikir itu. kiOleh karenanya, pluralitas dalam agama Islam perlu direspon sebagai kekayaan umat muslim.

Disinilah Khalid Abou El Fadl menggagas tentang pendekatan hermeneutika antara ajaran otoritas dan perilaku otoritarism yang dapat dibedakan dari masing-masing. Dalam ajaran otoritas, Sesungguhnya otoritas itu tidak berdiri sendiri dan tidak pula independen yang tidak melibatkan elemen lainkyang mendukungnya dan mendasarinya. Dalam hal ini ada beberapaksumber yang bisa dijadikan sumber otoritas, diantaranya adalah: sumber dari wahyu, sumber dari hasil pembuktian empiris, dan selanjutnya adalah sumber dari kekuatan penalaran manusiandan tradisi yang telah mapan.

Sedangkan Dalam Membangun gagasan otoritas dan otoritarism yaitu melalui (kompetensi, penetapan makna, dan konsep perwakilan dalam Islam). Yaitu dengan Pertama: menjadikan Tuhan sebagai otoritas tertinggi. Kedua: penetapan makna, Ketiga: konsep perwakilan dalam Islam melalui kedaulatan Tuhan.

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted many areas of life, including education in Indonesia. After the Indonesian government implemented a lockdown in a few months, now we are in a new normal era where everyone can do any activity based on the covid-19 protocol. In the new normal era, students and teachers are allowed to do teaching and learning activities with an offline system based on the Covid-19 protocol, this makes the schedule ineffective, such as in MI NW 1 Talun. At this school, each class has a schedule to do learning activities three times a week. Based on this, in this study, the authors will offer a schedule formulated based on variables of teachers, students, classes, classrooms, days and times, and covid-19 protocols. This research method is a genetic algorithm that is a method of optimization based on natural selection. The results of this study show that the new schedule is more effective than before and every student or teacher can do teaching and learning activities to the maximum and avoid covid-19.

Abstract. The Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model is a popular method for forecasting univariate time series data for data containing seasonality. This method consists of several stages, namely: identification, parameter assessment, diagnostic examination, and forecasting using the SARIMA (p,d,q)(P,D,Q)S model. The SARIMA model can be applied in various fields, one of which is the medical field. The number of patients infected with the CoVID-19 virus continues to grow every day. Indonesia is one of the countries experiencing the impact of the COVID-19 virus. On December 28, 2021, the number of positive Covid-19 patients in Indonesia was 4,262,157, with 4,113,472 patients recovering and 144,071 patients dying. Seeing the high number of positive cases of Covid-19 in Indonesia, the author wants to conduct research on modeling cases of patients who are confirmed to be positive for Covid-19 per day in Indonesia and then from this model, data forecasting will be carried out for the next 28 periods. The data collection period is from November 1, 2021 to December 28, 2021. And the results of a good model for predicting cases of confirmed positive COVID-19 patients per day in Indonesia are the SARIMA (2,1,2)(2,1,1)7 model, with The seasonal length is 7 periods, and the sum squared resid is 0.927619.

 

Abstrak. Model Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) adalah metode populer untuk meramalkan data deret waktu univariat untuk data yang mengadung musiman. Metode ini terdiri dari beberapa tahapan, yaitu: identifikasi, penilaian parameter, pemeriksaan diagnostik, dan peramalan menggunakan model SARIMA (p,d,q)(P,D,Q)S. Model SARIMA dapat diterapkan di berbagai bidang, salah satunya bidang medis. Jumlah pasien yang terinfeksi virus CoVID-19 terus bertambah setiap harinya.

The effect of natural carotenoid on body coloration and growth of Blue Gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus) was investigated using china rose petal (T1), marigold petal (T2), and carrot (T3). Sources were incorporated with fish feed with four treatments, including T0 control treatment (without natural carotenoid sources) at a 15% ratio. Fishes were purchased and conditioned for two weeks and then randomly distributed among the 12 plastic tanks, and stocking density was maintained at eight fishes/tank. Fishes were fed twice/daily with four different treatments for eight weeks. Sampling was done every week and carotenoid contents, weight, and length measurements were recorded. The average final weights in four treatments were found 5.455±0.821 gm, 4.504±0.2196 gm, 4.764±0.727 gm, and 3.776±0.418 gm in treatments T0, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. In the case of weight gain, a higher result was found in T0 (5.455±0.821 gm). Mean final lengths obtained were 4.094±0.250 cm, 4.005±0.233 cm, 4.083-0.297 cm, and 4.083±0.311 cm, respectively. The average final carotenoid absorptions of the fishes in four treatments were 0.1226±0.0115 mg/100 kg, 0.1296±0.0169mg/100 kg, 0.1669±0.0298 mg/100 kg, and 0.1487±0.0228 mg/100 kg in treatments T0, T1, T2 and T3, respectively. T2 treatments (marigold) had the highest carotenoids gain. The highest survival rate (100%) was observed at T2. Study suggested that marigold petal could be used to make natural color enhancer feeds at a cheaper cost.

Plastic pollution is one of the major threats to the biodiversity of coastal mangrove forest Sundarbans. The current research focused on the preliminary assessment of plastics load to benthic biodiversity in a major estuary, the Rupsha in southwestern Bangladesh. Visual studies were conducted at five different sampling sites based on human activities, viz Kalibari ghat (S1), Rupsha ferry ghat (S2), Lobonchora ghat (S3), Rupsha bridge ghat (S4) and Putimari ghat (S5 as reference site).  Thirteen (13) different plastic types under three categories were identified from the five-study sites. These categories belong to (i) fishing related debris: net, line, buoy, other fishing materials (ii) domestic useable plastics: bottle, bucket, bag/film, foamed polystyrene and polythene, and (iii) category of other types including packet, rope, pipe and shoes. Among all types, packet and polythene were the most abundant in number and both of them were the highest in number in Rupsha ferry ghat (8.67±3.79 for polythene and 9.33±5.86 for packet) whereas lowest in S5 (0.67±0.58 for polythene). Overall, the highest number of plastics (individual items) was identified in S2 station (36±12.5) following to S4 station (24.33±1.53) and lowest at S5 (3.33±0.58). Biodiversity index were also calculated where higher species richness (D) and Shannon index (H) were observed to be higher in S5 compared to other sampling sites.
