High-resolution stratospheric volcanic SO2 injections in WACCM
Authors: Axebrink Emma , Sporre Moa K. , Friberg Johan
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Aerosols from volcanic eruptions impact our climate by influencing the Earth’s radiative balance. The degree of their climate impact is determined by the location and injection altitude of the volcanic SO2. To investigate the importance of utilizing correct injection altitudes we ran climate simulations of the June 2009 Sarychev eruptions with three SO2 datasets, in the Community Earth System Model Version 2 (CESM2) Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model Version 6 (WACCM6). We have compared simulations with WACCM’s default 1 km vertically resolved dataset M16 with our two 200 m vertically resolved datasets, S21-3D and S21-1D. The S21-3D is distributed over a large area (30 latitudes and 120 longitudes), whereas S21-1D releases all SO2 in one latitude and longitude grid-box, mimicking the default dataset M16. For S21-1D and S21-3D, 95 % of the SO2 was injected into the stratosphere, whereas M16 injected only 75 % to the stratosphere. This difference is due to the different vertical distribution and resolution of SO2 in the datasets. The larger portion of SO2 injected into the stratosphere for the S21 datasets leads to more than twice as high sulfate aerosol load in the stratosphere for the S21-3D simulation compared to the M16 simulation during more than 8 months. The temporal evolution in AOD from two of our simulations, S21-3D and S21-1D, follows the observations from the space-borne lidar instrument CALIOP closely, while the AOD in the M16 simulation is substantially lower. This indicates that the injection altitude and vertical resolution of the injected volcanic SO2 substantially impact the model’s ability to correctly simulate the climate impact from volcanic eruptions. The S21-3D dataset with the high vertical and horizontal resolution resulted in global volcanic forcing of -0.24 W/m2 during the first year after the eruptions, compared with only -0.11 W/m2 for M16. Hence, our study high-lights the importance of using high-vertically resolved SO2 data in simulations of volcanic climate impact, and calls for a re-evaluation of further volcanic eruptions.
I've never seen it as bad as this': Community sector family homelessness research priorities in the current housing and homelessness crisis
Authors: Warren Shane , Barnes Adam
Published: May 2024

The current housing and homelessness crisis throughout Australia reflects the failure of decades of neoliberal governance and widening social and economic inequalities. Families at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness are presenting to front-line housing and homelessness agencies in unprecedented numbers. Many families are experiencing homelessness for the first time as well as prolonged durations of homelessness due to an inadequate supply of social and affordable housing. This paper explores the perspectives of participants from specialist homelessness services, housing providers and QUT academics. Their insights and reflections have been analysed within the thematic categories: (1) the personal and structural effects of neoliberal housing and social policy, (2) the complexity of family homelessness, and (3) an under-resourced and ageing housing and homelessness service system under immense strain. This paper explores the research, policy and practice nexus arising from these themes and identifies family homelessness research priorities.
Practitioner experiences of working with young people in domestic and family violence legal matters in Queensland
Authors: Choden Phuntsho , Stewart Megan , Bull Melissa
Published: May 2024

Domestic and family violence among young people is a growing concern. Young people are often unable to access legal support when such matters come to the attention of police and the courts. In 2020 Youth Advocacy Centre Inc (YAC) initiated a project that provided legal advice and support in domestic and family violence matters involving young people in South-East Queensland. The project sought to gain an in-depth understanding of the needs of young people in such matters. This paper presents an overview of practitioner perspectives relating to project outcomes, and recommendations to promote young people’s access to relevant support.
Making leaky bodies at work and study: Improving the provision of sanitary infrastructure in male-designated toiletes at higher education institutions
Authors: Grant-Smith Deanna , Hewitt Anne , Maelorin Loki
Published: May 2024

Although period poverty remains an ongoing concern, from an infrastructural perspective the provision of disposal facilities for menstrual products in countries like Australia has been largely addressed for those identifying as female. By contrast, there remains a significant provision gap for trans and nonbinary people who menstruate. This briefing paper considers the impact of a lack of sanitation infrastructure for all people who menstruate and male staff and students with faecal or urinary incontinence or chronic bowel and bladder issues within higher education institutions. One of the practical problems both groups face in relation to using campus-based male-designated toileting facilities is a lack of sanitary infrastructure to support the discrete and hygienic disposal of continence and menstrual products and packaging. In a university context, this lack of access to sanitation infrastructure can negatively impact the ability of staff and students to fully engage in on-campus learning, teaching and social activities. This briefing paper explores the regulatory and justice arguments in support of providing additional sanitary disposal infrastructure in male-designated toilet stalls on the basis that failing to do so is not only inequitable as it may limit these individuals from fully participating in life on campus but may also potentially constitute prohibited discrimination. The recommendations in this briefing paper are based on consultation with a range of stakeholders including The University of Adelaide Pride Club, YouX Sports Clubs, South Australian Rainbow Advocacy Alliance, and The University of Adelaide Disability, Illness and Divergence Association.
Experiences of Backlash Against Women in the Form of Technology-Facilitated Sexual Violence in India
Authors: Sakar Sahana
Published: May 2024

As the use of the internet and social media has surged in India, there has been a corresponding rise in the occurrence of technology-facilitated sexual violence. This briefing paper demonstrates that in India, one of the common ways in which 20 women survivors experienced technology-facilitated sexual violence was in the form of backlash. The paper identifies that survivors received backlash in the form of sexual abuse, physical violence and intimidation for expressing their opinions on social media. Two key findings that this paper demonstrates are: one, Dalit, Muslim, and lesbian and bisexual women experienced multiple layers of backlash due to their marginalised identities; second, experiences of backlash did not happen in isolation, and it was evident that it traversed into physical space.
ay dating app-related blackmail: Anatomy, contexts and risk factors
Authors: Sinha Roy Rahul
Published: May 2024

Gay dating platform–related blackmail has emerged as a key form of victimisation in recent years (see Dasgupta, 2021). This briefing paper explains the anatomy of blackmail on gay dating platforms: the contexts in which it takes place and the two forms it takes. It also illustrates that, in addition to perpetrators, multiple technological and sociopolitical factors play a key role in facilitating these crimes. This paper draws from semi-structured interviews conducted with gay dating platform users in India. The data come from a larger project conducted by the author for their PhD, which received high-risk ethics approval from the Queensland University of Technology Human Research Ethics Committee on 31 August 2020 (approval number 2000000493). This paper presents two case studies involving blackmail through gay dating platforms and urges for sociopolitical change and technological safeguards to support victim-survivors and prevent these crimes.
Approaching unpaid work-integrated learning placements through a social justice lens
Authors: Grant-Smith Deanna
Published: May 2024

Australian universities are under increasing pressure to support students to develop the graduate skills and knowledge required to transition smoothly from higher education into the professional workforce. The adoption of placement-based work-integrated learning (WIL) as a primary means to achieve this objective has become a prevalent feature of the tertiary education landscape. Nevertheless, while a substantial body of research and policy has highlighted the positive developmental benefits of WIL placements, the dominance of mandatory unpaid placements can adversely impact student wellbeing. Approaching unpaid WIL placements through the lens of equity and social justice, summarising the body of work on this topic by the authors, this briefing paper offers recommendations for making WIL work for students, industry, and universities in response to the interim report of the Australian Universities Accord.

Bildung zur Humanität: el rendimiento hermenéutico del concepto humanista de formación
Authors: Mancebo Pérez Pilar
Published: May 2024

El artículo investiga, en relación con la noción de formación, el concepto de humanismo al que se remonta Gadamer en Verdad y método. Para ello, trata de reconstruir las líneas generales del debate que tuvo lugar en Alemania en torno a 1800 sobre el significado de la Bildung y sus implicaciones para las primeras reformas educativas estatales del siglo XIX. Con ello, busca ganar un horizonte desde el que volver a pensar el concepto humanista de formación como un modo de enfrentar las pretensiones de universalidad de la ciencia moderna y para entender, a partir de ahí, una noción de verdad que abre, a su vez, nuevos horizontes desde los que pensar el compromiso hermenéutico con la educación.
Going back to Royaumont : what is a good naturalization ?
Authors:   Université Paris-Sorbonne Université de Technologie de Compiègne, Dechauffour Guillaume
Published: May 2024

The Chomsky/Piaget debate is an iteration of a quarrel which fueled philosophical reflexion for centuries. There is no reason to believe, however, that this opposition cannot be overcome. The concept of “languaging” set us on that track by avoiding both internalism and individualism which form the background of this historical debate. The naturalistic program is thus reconfigured. Whether we should accept this solution or not, there is indeed some actuality in this debate : if the solution is not satisfactory, then the debate shows an ambiguity we should not try to overcome ; if it is, we shall evaluate our progress in the way we link our knowledge of nature and language.

Specifically the study investigated the effect of infrastructural services on performance of SMEs, social amenities on the performance of SMEs and the effect of technological development and performance of SMEs in Anambra State, Nigeria. Relevant conceptual, theoretical and empirical literatures were reviewed. The study was anchored on Self-Generated or Endogenous Urbanization Theory. This study adopted survey design. Infrastructural services, social amenities and technological development were employed as the independent variables while performance of SMEs was employed as the dependent variable. The population is unknown, as such the sample size of the study was determined with the aid of Topman’s non-parametric sample size determination formula, applied when the population frame is unknown. A sample size of 368 respondents. The data generated were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The study found that infrastructural facilities has a significant effect on the performance of SMEs; Social amenities has a significant effect on the performance and technological development has a significant effect on the performance of SMEs in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study concludes that urbanization had a significant effect on the performance of SMEs in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study recommended that government should provide availability of Infrastructural facilities in rural areas will decrease the rural – urban migration of the people that will increase on the performance of SMEs. Government in collaboration with private sector could make and implement programme for rural upliftement such as social amenities programmes, housing loans, electricity, water supply etc. So that they will not have interest to migrate to urban areas. Small business owners should stay current on technological development and try to influence government decision-making and policy on urbanization.
Splines finite element solver for one-dimensional time-dependent Maxwell's equations via Fourier Transform Discretization
Authors: El Barkani Imad , Addam Mohamed
Published: May 2024

In this article, we solve the time-dependent Maxwell coupled equations in their one-dimensional version relatively to space-variable. We effectuate a variable reduction via Fourier transform to make the time variable as a frequency parameter easy and quickly to manage. A Galerkin variational method based on higher-order spline interpolations is used to approximate the solution relatively to the spacial variable. So, the state of existence of the solution, its uniqueness, and its regularity are studied and proved, and the study is also provided by an error estimate and the order of convergence of the proposed method. Also, we use the critical Nyquist frequency to calculate numerically the solution of the Inverse Fourier Transform(IFT); and for all numerical computations, we consider several quadrature methods. Finally, we give some experiments to illustrate the success of such an approach.

Published: May 2024

Aim: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) results from gastric contents moving into the esophagus, causing distressing symptoms and complications. Its prevalence has surged in the past two decades, notably in Asian countries. While nutritional management is common in clinical practice, definitive recommendations remain unclear. Few studies have explored the link between food and GERD. Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study involving 359 eligible subjects out of 405 participants. We employed purposive sampling, targeting medical students, teachers, and staff aged 18 to 60 from four universities. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0 with a confidence interval of 95% and a significance threshold of p < 0.05. Results: Among participants, 56.5% were female, with an average age of 24.55. Notably, 70.4% tested positive for GERD. Trigger foods included oily (24.2%) and spicy (45.4%) items, while 24.2% reported no specific triggers. Conclusion: This study underscores the significance of dietary modifications in managing GERD symptoms. Tailoring diets to individual symptoms and adjusting meal size, timing, and composition offer more benefits than elimination diets, particularly focusing on smaller meals and avoiding late-night eating habits. Keywords: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), reflux, esophageal disease, diet, nutrition, food intake, heartburn, fast-food.
El pleito por el patronazgo del Hospital San Sebastián. La respuesta del procurador de Cartagena de Indias (1577)
Authors: Marín Tamayo John Jairo
Published: May 2024

En 1573, la Corona española presentó a fray Dionisio de Sanctis para ocupar la sede episcopal cartagenera. Muy temprano, el prelado constató que no era él quien tenía el patronazgo del Hospital San Sebastián, sino el cabildo secular. Fue así como entabló un pleito en contra de la institución municipal para recuperar el gobierno del centro hospitalario. Utilizando el expediente del proceso, se presenta los pormenores del pleito y se analiza el discurso de la respuesta dada por el procurador general de la ciudad a la demanda del prelado. Con ello se busca dar cuenta del papel que jugaron los obispos en la fundación y gobierno de los hospitales coloniales y de algunos aspectos del funcionamiento de la justicia local. Se adopta como hipótesis que, con el recurso interpuesto, el mitrado buscaba que se le devolviera el patronazgo del hospital, tal y como lo habían ostentado sus antecesores.
Los dilemas de la desestalinización. El Partido Comunista chileno ante el XX Congreso del PCUS
Authors: Odekerken Ximena U.
Published: May 2024

En este artículo se propone estudiar la configuración inicial que adoptó la desestalinización en el Partido Comunista de Chile, a partir de la recepción que hizo de las resoluciones e informes del XX Congreso del Partido Comunista de la Unión Soviética, celebrado en febrero de 1956. En particular se sostiene que, a propósito del llamado a superar el problema del culto a la personalidad y ante la imposibilidad de execrar al dictador soviético, se produjo un proceso de discusión interna que rápidamente develó los dilemas y, con ello, los límites que tal desafío significó para este partido.
Escrito en la sangre. De la policía científica a la antropología. Luis Sandoval Smart en el escenario científico chileno (1930-1960)
Authors: Palacios Laval Cristián , Sánchez Delgado Marcelo
Published: May 2024

A mediados de la década de 1930, el Dr. Luis Sandoval Smart se integró a la Dirección de Investigaciones, Identificación y Pasaportes de Chile en su calidad de médico bioquímico, y desde esa posición emprendió trabajos sobre los grupos sanguíneos y sus propiedades, que lo pusieron a la vanguardia de estos estudios a nivel latinoamericano y que, finalmente, derivaron en una carrera en la antropología física universitaria. Resulta destacable que, a través de la figura de Sandoval Smart, el Departamento Criminológico creado en 1935 logró un liderazgo en la hematología forense y la seroantropología. Por otra parte, la obra científica de Sandoval Smart reintroduce una carga de racismo en el campo criminalístico y antropológico. Finalmente, resulta llamativo que su presencia en la antropología chilena haya sido relativamente velada de la memoria disciplinar, sobre lo que este trabajo aporta algunas reflexiones.

El principal propósito de esta investigación consistió en realizar un estudio para establecer el marco de comunicación visual que apoye y fortalezca el proyecto que desea declarar al Cañón del Chicamocha, y a una primera delimitación de once municipios aledaños, como geoparque, con el fin de resaltar los patrimonios geológicos, biológicos y culturales de la zona, promoviendo los tres pilares fundamentales según la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO, 2021): geoeducación, geoturismo y geoconservación. A partir de un proceso de empatía realizado en los once municipios definidos, se encontró que hay diversidad, asimetría en el desarrollo socioeconómico y turístico e independencia en la gobernanza. No obstante, al reconocer que estos engloban la zona del Cañón del Chicamocha, se indagó en establecer y generar el reconocimiento como marca región. Por medio de la metodología de pensamiento de diseño se realizó un proceso de investigación-creación basada en el diseño participativo interdisciplinar, trabajo de observación mediante salidas de campo que fueron claves para el reconocimiento de los valores patrimoniales y la inclusión de actividades de generación conceptual iterativas. Se trabajó en equipos interdisciplinarios y se configuró con la comunidad. En una segunda iteración de la imagen se definieron colores basados en las diferentes pigmentaciones de tierra existentes en los municipios. Las actividades y herramientas aplicadas con la comunidad facilitaron la obtención de insights como aporte a la narrativa de la configuración de la marca región. Se hizo realimentación tipo heurística valorando las alternativas de imagen definiéndose así la Marca región.

Dentro de las actividades de la línea de investigación de la Universidad Antonio Nariño, Cultura visual: complejidad, mediaciones y experiencias, se están haciendo exploraciones desde el programa de Diseño Gráfico de la Facultad de Artes. En este marco, desde los espacios académicos de Ilustración en Técnicas mixtas y Realidad Virtual-Realidad Aumentada se propone un taller que integra saberes desde lo digital y lo análogo para hacer una experiencia en la que convergen saberes desde estas dos asignaturas. Desde estas se plantea la siguiente pregunta: ¿cuáles son las posibilidades de la ilustración 360º a partir de una exploración análoga? Dicho cuestionamiento nos lleva a explorar métodos para poder integrar estos medios y construir nuevas estéticas. Además, se presenta a los estudiantes un reto sin precedentes y ellos participan activamente de la exploración. Para este taller se aplicó una metodología de investigación exploratoria a nivel descriptivo. El taller se centró en la inmersión de los estudiantes en propuestas actuales de ilustración, teniendo lugar la visualización de estos trabajos en un entorno de realidad virtual. El método propuesto se dividió en cuatro etapas: reconocimiento del entorno de 360°, bocetación en Adobe Photoshop, aplicación de técnicas de ilustración análoga con trabajo digital en Adobe Photoshop, sobre panorámicas esféricas, y publicación de las ilustraciones en la plataforma Kuula. Como resultado, cada estudiante desarrolló un ambiente 360º en el que pudieron integrar las técnicas análogas y digitales, otorgando un valor agregado a sus trabajos.

La demanda energética en las instituciones educativas ha aumentado, debido a la adopción de tecnologías como los dispositivos móviles. Esto plantea un problema recurrente para los estudiantes del campus, por la falta de puntos de recarga energética, a base de energía eléctrica, que suplan la demanda diaria, en razón al costo que requiere la implementación de la infraestructura para ello. Para abordar esta problemática, uno de los desafíos a enfrentar es la generación de puntos de energía transitoria y la implementación de nuevos puntos estratégicos ubicados en el campus institucional, para suplir situaciones de carácter urgente que requieren acceso en lugares alejados de las redes principales y secundarias dentro del campus. Los materiales piezoeléctricos se han reconocido como fuente de energía sostenible que generan una opción en espacios abiertos. A partir de este principio, se realizó un proceso de empatía que permitió establecer una forma natural que posibilitara generar energía a partir de cargas mecánicas. Derivado de este análisis se planteó captar la energía a partir del movimiento de los usuarios durante su recorrido en puntos de gran flujo de personas. Durante la realización del proyecto, se realizaron múltiples mejoras estructurales al diseño de los módulos, a favor de la optimización del sistema, así como pruebas y variaciones funcionales, mediante la implementación de prácticas colaborativas con el software Fusion 360, buscando la máxima cantidad de voltaje que se pudiera generar, además de la construcción de los módulos funcionales mediante el uso de impresoras 3D y el software CURA. Como resultado, se obtuvieron ocho módulos de baldosas hexagonales, cada uno con 20 piezoeléctricos de 35 mm de diámetro, con una amplitud de voltaje generado de 3,5V. La incorporación de sensores o modificaciones estructurales facilitó el desarrollo de un modelo funcional que llegó al nivel de diseño de detalle, mediante el uso de tecnologías de impresión 3D. De acuerdo con las verificaciones y validaciones realizadas, se estableció el potencial que este concepto desarrollado promueve para ser desarrollado a futuro a escala industrial.

The article presents the results of research related to the possibility of increasing the strength of cement stone based on high-base calcium hydrosilicates synthesized during autoclave processing by reducing the water-cement ratio using superplasticizers. Despite the fact that autoclave stone based on high-base calcium hydrosilicates is inferior in strength to low-base ones, but it allows improving weather resistance. This approach is due to the fact that the effect of diluent additives in silicate mixtures increases with basicity increasing, and concrete samples based on a cement matrix containing C2SN(A) in a compacted state exhibit higher strength. The study shows water-cement ratio reducing in cement dough by 20% with the help of superplasticizers increases the compressive strength of autoclave cement stone samples by 30%. At the same time, the strength growth of similar composition samples hardened for 28 days under normal conditions did not exceed 12%. It is noted that the strength of the matrix is determined not only by the shape and size of the crystals of the highly basic hydrate phases C2SN(A) and C2SN(C), but also by the degree of fusion and the number of contacts between them.

Proper healthy nutrition requires regular intake of necessary quantities and optimal ratios of foodstuffs - proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. Meat and meat products are the source of basic foods: protein, B-group vitamins, microelements, but cannot meet physiological needs, for example, in dietary fibres, vitamin C, carotenoids. Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) is of great interest in terms of nutritional and biological values. Jerusalem artichoke tubers contain up to 3% protein, mineral salts, soluble polysaccharide inulin (16-18%), fructose, trace elements, nitrogenous substances (2-4%). The tubers are rich in vitamin B1, contain vitamin C, carotene. The article presents the results of study of the nutritional value of meat product with Jerusalem artichoke. The study found out that the replacement of some ingredients in meat semi-finished products with Jerusalem artichoke provides the body's daily need for dietary fiber by 10 %

Currently, in agriculture, the available grain cleaning machinery does not correspond to modern conditions of grain production and is physically worn out. And small farms and farmers do not have the required equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a grain cleaner that is adapted to the diversity of conditions of modern agricultural production, providing minimal costs, but allowing to obtain most of basic grain at the first stage of processing and simultaneously to carry out not only cleaning, but also cooling and drying. A separating grain-throwing unit has been developed, which differs from all existing ones in the grain-throwing blades made of two interconnected sickle-shaped and receiving parts, the first of which has a rounded coneshaped section at the periphery. That cone-shaped section reduces damage and injury of seeds and pre-distribute the incoming grain material on different fractions. Analysis of experimental studies showed that it is possible to obtain more than 80% of basic conditions in the processing process.

Sign language is a communication strategy used by those who are unable to hear. So those people who know sign language can communicate with people who are deaf. But a majority of our people don’t know sign language therefore there comes a communication gap between the ones who know sign language and others who don’t know. This project's major purpose is to bridge this gap by developing a systemthat recognizesmultiple sign languages and translates them into text in real-time. We use machine learning technologies to construct this system especially, convolutional neural networks (cnns), which are used to recognize and translate American Sign Language (ASL) into text by capturing it using a webcam. The transformed text is then presented on the screen by which individuals can comprehend and communicate with those who use sign language. The system's performance is evaluated on a dataset of ASL gestures, attaining excellent accuracy and indicating its potential for practical usage in enhancing communication accessibility for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

Highland regions often rely heavily on agriculture for livelihoods. Rainfall (including snowfall) trends can directly impact crop yields and agricultural productivity. Monitoring rainfall trends aid in assessing the impacts of climate change on biodiversity, habitat suitability, and ecosystem services. Highland regions are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. Analyzing long-term rainfall trends provides valuable insights into climate change patterns and helps in formulating adaptation strategies to cope with changing environmental conditions. This study is based on the long-term rainfall analysis using a novel method called the 5-year lag method. The analysis has been carried out annually and the four seasons- January and February (winter/cold weather season), March, April, and May (Pre-monsoon/summer/hot weather/thunderstorm season), June, July, August and September (South-west monsoon/summer monsoon season), October, November and December (Post-monsoon/north-east monsoon/retreating south-west monsoon season).
