Making the Case for Genocide, the Forced Sterilization of Indigenous Peoples of Peru
Authors: Carranza Ko Ñusta P
Published: September 2020

Peru’s national health program Programa de Salud Reproductiva y Planificación Familiar (PSRPF) aimed to uphold women’s reproductive rights and address the scarcity in maternity related services. Despite these objectives, during PSRPF’s implementation the respect for women’s rights were undermined with the forced sterilization of women predominantly of indigenous, poor, and rural backgrounds. This study considers the forced sterilization of indigenous women as a genocide. Making the case for genocide has not been done previously with this particular case. Using the normative markers of the Genocide Convention, this study categorically sets forced sterilization victims from the state-led-policy as victims of genocide, considering the effects the health malpractice had on victims’ reproductive rights and the prevention of births of future indigenous populations. In doing so, this study proves the genocidal intent from the state to destroy in whole or in part, an ethnic minority group.

Abstract. The detection and attribution of high background ozone (O3) events in
the southwestern US is challenging but relevant to the effective
implementation of the lowered National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS;
70 ppbv). Here we leverage intensive field measurements from the Fires,
Asian, and Stratospheric Transport−Las Vegas Ozone Study (FAST-LVOS) in
May–June 2017, alongside high-resolution simulations with two global
models (GFDL-AM4 and GEOS-Chem), to study the sources of O3 during
high-O3 events. We show possible stratospheric influence on 4 out of
the 10 events with daily maximum 8 h average (MDA8) surface O3
above 65 ppbv in the greater Las Vegas region. While O3 produced from
regional anthropogenic emissions dominates pollution events in the Las Vegas
Valley, stratospheric intrusions can mix with regional pollution to push
surface O3 above 70 ppbv. GFDL-AM4 captures the key characteristics of
deep stratospheric intrusions consistent with ozonesondes, lidar profiles,
and co-located measurements of O3, CO, and water vapor at Angel Peak,
whereas GEOS-Chem has difficulty simulating the observed features and
underestimates observed O3 by ∼20 ppbv at the surface.
On days when observed MDA8 O3 exceeds 65 ppbv and the AM4 stratospheric
ozone tracer shows 20–40 ppbv enhancements, GEOS-Chem simulates
∼15 ppbv lower US background O3 than GFDL-AM4. The two
models also differ substantially during a wildfire event, with GEOS-Chem
estimating ∼15 ppbv greater O3, in better agreement with
lidar observations. At the surface, the two models bracket the observed MDA8
O3 values during the wildfire event. Both models capture the
large-scale transport of Asian pollution, but neither resolves some
fine-scale pollution plumes, as evidenced by aerosol backscatter, aircraft,
and satellite measurements. US background O3 estimates from the two
models differ by 5 ppbv on average (greater in GFDL-AM4) and up to 15 ppbv
episodically. Uncertainties remain in the quantitative attribution of each
event. Nevertheless, our multi-model approach tied closely to observational
analysis yields some process insights, suggesting that elevated background
O3 may pose challenges to achieving a potentially lower NAAQS level
(e.g., 65 ppbv) in the southwestern US.
Mesospheric gravity wave activity estimated via airglow imagery, multistatic meteor radar, and SABER data taken during the SIMONe–2018 campaign

Published: September 2020

Abstract. We describe in this study the analysis of small and large horizontal scale gravity waves from datasets composed of images from multiple mesospheric nightglow emissions as well as multistatic specular meteor radar (MSMR) winds collected in early November 2018, during the SIMONe–2018 campaign. These ground-based measurements are supported by temperature and neutral density profiles from TIMED/SABER satellite in orbits near Kühlungsborn, northern Germany (54.1° N, 11.8° E). The scientific goals here include the characterization of gravity waves and their interaction with the mean flow in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere and their relationship to dynamical conditions in the lower and upper atmosphere. We obtain intrinsic parameters of small and large horizontal scale gravity waves and characterize their impact in the mesosphere region via momentum flux and flux divergence estimations. We have verified that a small percent of the detected wave events are responsible for most of the momentum flux measured during the campaign from oscillations seen in the airglow brightness and MSMR winds. From the analysis of small-scale gravity waves in airglow images, we have found wave momentum fluxes ranging from 0.38 to 24.74 m2/s2 (0.88 ± 0.73 m2/s2 on average), with a total of 586.96 m2/s2 (sum over all 362 detected waves). However, small horizontal scale waves with flux > 3 m2/s2 (11 % of the events) transport 50 % of the total measured flux. Likewise, wave events having flux > 10 m2/s2 (2 % of the events) transport 20 % of the total flux. The examination of two large-scale waves seen simultaneously in airglow keograms and MSMR winds revealed relative amplitudes > 35 %, which translates into momentum fluxes of 21.2–29.6 m/s. In terms of gravity wave–mean flow interactions, these high momentum flux waves could cause decelerations of 22–41 m/s/day (small-scale waves) and 38–43 m/s/day (large-scale waves) if breaking or dissipating within short distances in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere region. The dominant large-scale waves might be the result of secondary gravity excited from imbalanced flow in the stratosphere caused by primary wave breaking.
Retrieval of lower-order moments of the drop size distribution using CSU-CHILL X-band polarimetric radar: a case study
Authors: Bringi Viswanathan , Mishra Kumar Vijay , Thurai Merhala , Kennedy Patrick C. , Raupach Timothy H.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. The lower-order moments of the drop size distribution (DSD) have generally been considered difficult to retrieve accurately from polarimetric radar data because these data are related to higher-order moments. For example, the 4.6th moment is associated with a specific differential phase and the 6th moment with reflectivity and ratio of high-order moments with differential reflectivity. Thus, conventionally, the emphasis has been to estimate rain rate (3.67th moment) or parameters of the exponential or gamma distribution for the DSD. Many double-moment “bulk” microphysical schemes predict the total number concentration (the 0th moment of the DSD, or M0) and the mixing ratio (or equivalently, the 3rd moment M3).
Thus, it is difficult to compare the model outputs directly with polarimetric radar observations or, given the model outputs, forward model the radar observables. This article describes the use of double-moment normalization of DSDs and the resulting stable intrinsic shape that can be fitted by the generalized gamma (G-G) distribution. The two reference moments are M3 and M6, which are shown to be retrievable using the X-band radar reflectivity, differential reflectivity, and specific attenuation (from the iterative correction of measured reflectivity Zh using the total Φdp constraint, i.e., the iterative ZPHI method). Along with the climatological shape parameters of the G-G fit to the scaled/normalized DSDs, the lower-order moments are then retrieved more accurately than possible hitherto. The importance of measuring the complete DSD from 0.1 mm onwards is emphasized using, in our case, an optical array probe with 50 µm resolution collocated with a two-dimensional video disdrometer with about 170 µm resolution. This avoids small drop truncation and hence the accurate calculation of lower-order moments.
A case study of a complex multi-cell storm which traversed an instrumented site near the CSU-CHILL radar is described for which the moments were retrieved from radar and compared with directly computed moments from the complete spectrum measurements using the aforementioned two disdrometers.
Our detailed validation analysis of the radar-retrieved moments showed relative bias of the moments M0 through M2 was <15 % in magnitude, with Pearson’s correlation coefficient >0.9. Both radar measurement and parameterization errors were estimated rigorously.
We show that the temporal variation of the radar-retrieved mass-weighted mean diameter with M0 resulted in coherent “time tracks” that can potentially lead to studies of precipitation evolution that have not been possible so far.
A two-year intercomparison of CW focusing wind lidar and tall mast wind measurements at Cabauw

Published: September 2020

Abstract. A two-year measurement campaign of the ZephIR 300 vertical profiling continuous-wave (CW) focusing wind lidar has been carried out by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) at the Cabauw site. We focus on the (height-dependent) data availability of the wind lidar under various meteorological conditions and the data quality through a comparison with in situ wind measurements at several levels in the 213-m tall meteorological mast. We find an overall availability of quality controlled wind lidar data of 97 % to 98 %, where the missing part is mainly due to precipitation events exceeding 1 mm/h or fog or low clouds below 100 m. The mean bias in the horizontal wind speed is within 0.1 m/s with a high correlation between the mast and wind lidar measurements, although under some specific conditions (very high wind speed, fog or low clouds) larger deviations are observed. The mean bias in the wind direction is within 2°, which is on the same order as the combined uncertainty in the alignment of the wind lidars and the mast wind vanes. The well-known 180° error in the wind direction output for this type of instrument occurs about 9 % of the time. A correction scheme based on data of an auxiliary wind vane at a height of 10 m is applied, leading to a reduction of the 180° error below 2 %. This scheme can be applied in real-time applications in case a nearby, freely exposed, mast with wind direction measurements at a single height is available.
Effect of stress history on sediment transport and channel adjustment in graded gravel-bed rivers
Authors: An Chenge , Hassan Marwan A. , Ferrer-Boix Carles , Fu Xudong
Published: September 2020

Abstract. With the increasing attention on environmental flow management for the maintenance of habitat diversity and ecosystem health of mountain gravel-bed rivers, much interest has been paid to how inter-flood low flow can affect gravel-bed river morphodynamics during subsequent flood events. Previous research has found that antecedent conditioning flow can lead to an increase in the critical shear stress and a reduction in sediment transport rate during a subsequent flood. But how long this effect can last during the flood event has not been fully discussed. In this paper, a series of flume experiments with various durations of conditioning flow are presented to study this problem. Results show that channel morphology adjusts significantly within the first 15 minutes of the conditioning flow, but becomes rather stable during the remainder of the conditioning flow. The implementation of conditioning flow can indeed lead to a reduction of sediment transport rate during the subsequent hydrograph, but such effect is limited only within a relatively short time at the beginning of the hydrograph. This indicates that bed reorganization during the conditioning phase, which induce the stress history effect, is likely to be erased with increasing intensity of flow and sediment transport during the subsequent flood event.
The Utrecht Finite Volume Ice-Sheet Model: UFEMISM (version 1.0)
Authors: Berends Constantijn J. , Gölzer Heiko , van de Wal Roderik S. W.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Improving our confidence in future projections of sea-level rise requires models that can simulate ice-sheet evolution both in the future and in the geological past. A physically accurate treatment of large changes in ice-sheet geometry requires a proper treatment of processes near the margin, like grounding line dynamics, which in turn requires a high spatial resolution in that specific region. This leads to a demand for computationally efficient models, where such a high resolution can be feasibly applied in simulations of 105–107 yr in duration. Here, we present and evaluate a new ice-sheet model that solves the SIA and SSA approximations of the stress balance on a fully adaptive, unstructured triangular mesh. This strongly reduces the number of grid points where the equations need to be solved, increasing the computational efficiency. We show that the model reproduces the analytical solutions or model intercomparison benchmarks for a number of schematic ice-sheet configurations, indicating that the numerical approach is valid. Because of the unstructured triangular mesh, the number of vertices increases less rapidly with resolution than in a square-grid model, greatly reducing the required computation time for high resolutions. A simulation of all four continental ice sheets during an entire 120 kyr glacial cycle, with a 4 km resolution near the grounding line, is expected to take 100–200 wall clock hours on a 16-core system (1,600–3,200 core hours), implying that this model can be feasibly used for high-resolution paleo-ice-sheet simulations.

Published: September 2020

Abstract. With the rise in urban population comes a demand for solutions to offset environmental problems caused by urbanization. Green infrastructure (GI) refers to engineered features that provide
multiecological functions in urban spaces. Soils are a fundamental
component of GI, playing key roles in supporting plant growth, infiltration,
and biological activities that contribute to the maintenance of air and water
quality. However, urban soils are often physically, chemically, or
biologically unsuitable for use in GI features. Constructed Technosols (CTs),
consisting of mixtures of organic and mineral waste, are man-made soils
designed to meet specific requirements and have great potential for use in
GI. This review covers (1) current methods to create CTs adapted for various
GI designs and (2) published examples in which CTs have been used in GI. We
address the main steps for building CTs, the materials and which formulae
should be used to design functional CTs, and the technical constraints
of using CTs for applications in parks and square lawns, tree-lined streets,
green buffer for storm water management, urban farming, and reclaimed
derelict land. The analysis suggests that the composition and structure of
CTs should and can be adapted to available wastes and by-products and to
future land use and environmental conditions. CTs have a high potential to
provide multiple soil functions in diverse situations and to contribute to
greening efforts in cities (and beyond) across the world.
The pragmatics of luxury
Authors: Diez-Arroyo Marisa
Published: September 2020

This paper investigates the lexical items used in online automobile advertising to characterize the motorcar as a luxury product. The main questions examined are, firstly, how certain words are interpreted as denoting luxury concepts by potential readers, and, secondly, whether luxury and non-luxury marques differ in the use of these units. The issues here are addressed from a double theoretical framework: a theory of luxury, which allows for the identification and classification of the vocabulary of luxury, and Relevance Theory, a pragmatic model which explains how words are subject to pragmatic modulation during interpretation, leading to the construction of ad hoc concepts.

Realizou-se uma pesquisa no sítio eletrônico Google para verificar os grupos de trabalhadores uberizados que buscam se organizar, quais as características de sua organização e as entidades que os representam e examinar as suas formas de atuação por meio da coleta de dados provenientes de seus canais de comunicação eletrônicos. Observou-se a existência de um conjunto de sindicatos e associações representantes das categorias de motoristas e motofretistas vinculados a aplicativos que contribuem para a construção de uma luta por direitos com ações direcionadas ao poder público e às empresas a partir de demandas relacionadas ao acesso ao trabalho, à redução de custos, à segurança e à remuneração.
Threatening the Social Order
Authors: Ivasiuc Ana
Published: September 2020

One of the most productive loci for the analysis of the security – morality nexus is the making of security laws and norms which reveals the ways in which the social order is perceived to be under threat. This article argues for a critical examination of the moralities underlying the security paradigm, or else ‘the securitarian moral assemblage’, through the example of how the Roma are targeted by security laws, decrees, and measures in Rome. Moral values underpinning the social order become particularly visible in security laws, as these laws betray that which requires enhanced protection, and what is seen to produce the existential danger that jeopardizes the status quo. Taking a closer look at the practices that are framed as morally dubious and increasingly repressed and controlled helps us make sense of the moral underpinnings that serve the reproduction of a social order presaged upon exacerbated consumption and the production of inequalities. Such an approach goes beyond merely illuminating the dynamics of exclusion grounded in the racialization and discrimination to which the Roma are undoubtedly subjected. It establishes a link between the explosion of security narratives, practices, and measures, and the larger contemporary context of capitalism and the current protracted crisis that it has engendered.

Objectives: The current cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents in the Hormozgan province in Iran. Methods: 1005 children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years who were living in Hormozgan province participated in this communitybased study. Participants were selected using the stratified random cluster sampling and were instructed to fill the Persian version of Kiddie-Sads-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). Demographic data were also collected (i.e., gender, age, education, parents’ education, and socioeconomic status). Descriptive analysis and 95% confidence interval were used to investigate the relationship between the scores of the K-SADS-PL questionnaire and the demographic factors. Logistic regression was used to calculate the OR of the diagnosis with a psychiatric disorder according to sex, age, and socioeconomic status. Results: The overall prevalence in children and adolescents was 16.01%. No statistically significant difference was found concerning gender in regards to the frequency of psychiatric disorders. The most prevalent psychiatric disorders were separation anxiety disorder (4.2%), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (2.5%), and oppositional defiant disorder (2.5%), while anorexia nervosa (0.1%) had the lowest prevalence. Conclusions: The frequency of psychiatric disorders in adolescents in Hormozgan province is comparable to the reports from other countries. The results of this study can be used to develop more specific preventive and therapeutic measures, focused on the highest risk subgroups.
Obesity and COVID-19
Authors: Moradi Leila
Published: September 2020

Context: The emerging disease COVID-19 has made a major problem for people around the world, and treatment systems are facing hardships. Obesity is a risk factor for health, and COVID-19 is a global disease. Obesity may be a risk factor for this disease. The relationship between obesity and the disease was examined in this study. Evidence Acquisition: Three databases, PubMed, Scopus, and Embase, were examined. The search strategy and keyword combinations were (“COVID-19” OR “Coronavirus” OR “Wuhan virus” AND “Obesity” OR “Obese”). The results of related articles were used. Results: Obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular, and respiratory diseases are the risk factors for COVID-19, especially in severe cases, which can affect the length of hospital stay and mortality. Conclusions: We know very little about this disease. Thus, much research is needed to conduct. Since obesity is a risk factor for this disease, exercise is proposed to prevent it.
Midazolam, Etomidate, Propofol, Fentanyl, Ketamine, and Propofol/Ketamine for Procedural Sedation and Analgesia Among Adults in the Emergency Departments: A Systematic Review
Authors: Massaeli Maryam , Nasouhi Soheil , Motallebzadeh Afshin , Shahabian Masoud
Published: September 2020

: The current systematic review aimed at investigating different medications commonly used for procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) in emergency departments (EDs) for adults. The articles related to the subject of interest were searched in five electronic databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase, up to 2019. The blinded, randomized, controlled, clinical trials comparing common PSA medications, including midazolam, etomidate, propofol, fentanyl, ketamine, and ketofol, among the adults undergoing PSA in EDs were included in the study. The search process resulted in the inclusion of 35 papers in the study. The main information, including clinical features, sedation duration, recovery time, and incidence of adverse events, was extracted from the selected studies. Based on the reviewed studies, various combinations of medications are used for PSA depending on the hospital protocols and policies; however, there is still controversy over the best choice. As the results of the retrieved articles indicated, propofol is the most common medication used for PSA in EDs due to the shorter time of induction, rapid recovery of consciousness, and fewer side effects. Etomidate and ketamine were also identified as other common sedatives applied for PSA.
Quelle est la véritable surface du domaine vital des Tortues d’Hermann (Testudo hermanni Gmelin, 1789) ? Implications pour la conservation

L’estimation précise de la taille des domaines vitaux (DV) qu’occupent les individus d’une espèce est cruciale pour les gestionnaires. Elle permet de mieux définir la taille minimale des sites à protéger et de limiter la fragmentation des populations. Grâce à des suivis par radio-tracking menés sur l’ensemble de la saison d’activité, les domaines vitaux annuels de 165 Tortues d’Hermann (Testudo hermanni Gmelin, 1789) provenant de neuf sous-populations de France continentale ont été obtenus par la méthode des polygones convexes minimum (MCP). Les grands domaines vitaux mesurés sur plusieurs populations contrastent avec les données précédemment publiées sur le sujet. Notre étude montre que le DV d’une Tortue d’Hermann occupe environ neuf hectares (valeur médiane 5,2 ha) alors que la valeur moyenne de référence pour les populations françaises n’est que de deux hectares. Cette différence s’explique par les petites tailles d’échantillons obtenus sur de courtes périodes des études précédentes. Les suivis intensifs menés pendant 10 ans fournissent une vision plus réaliste de la taille des domaines vitaux. En accord avec la littérature, une grande variabilité interindividuelle se traduit par des valeurs extrêmes, éloignées des DV (0,6 ha à 95,0 ha). Globalement, la taille des DV augmente au printemps lorsque l’activité des individus est la plus importante et se stabilise pendant la saison estivale, voire en automne. Il est essentiel que l’établissement de zones de protection et de corridors prenne en compte ces nouvelles données, tout particulièrement les valeurs maximales (>15 ha). Seules les populations suffisamment grandes occupant des habitats diversifiés pourront s’adapter aux changements globaux et aux changements climatiques notamment. Protéger de grandes surfaces si possible connectées par des infrastructures dédiées (e.g. passages sous les routes) est une condition pour avoir une diversité génétique importante et une diversité de micro-habitats suffisante.

Resumen: Vivimos refugiados en mundos desdoblados que inventamos sin saberlo, en sus sombras naturales; y cuando la naturaleza no basta, lo corregimos con arquitectura, que es el arte y la técnica de las sombras arrojadas, un lugar al que sin duda pertenecemos de lleno. La luz nos es dada, la sombra no. El mundo que nos rodea se divide en dos mitades irreconocibles, la luz y las tinieblas, como inocente expresión de dos espacios aparentemente opuestos: el cielo y la tierra. Nacemos dándonos a la luz, pero vivimos refugiados en sus sombras negras. La humanidad busca con obsesión el encuentro con estas experiencias ocultas, para observar la vida desde el otro lado. Esta pequeña capilla del barroco sevillano, conserva oculta en el trasfondo de su masa un misterioso secreto. A través de los ojos de dos jóvenes estudiantes de arquitectura de los años 60, nos adentraremos en un mundo invisible y humano (figura 1).Abstract: We live as refugees in concentric worlds that we invent without know it, by their natural shadows; and when nature isn’t enough, we correct it with architecture which is the art and technique of those casting shadows, a place in which we undoubtedly belong to. Light is given to us, shadow is not. The world that surrounds us is divided into two unrecognizable halves, light and darkness, as an innocent expression of two opposing spaces: sky and earth. We are born giving ourselves to light, but we live sheltered in the darkness to which we belong, in their black shadows.

Economic sanctions in world politics and science on international relations: relevant theoretical-methodological approaches
Authors: Shevchenko Yan Nikolaevich , Mukhamadeev Dmitriy Viktorovich
Published: September 2020

Diplomatics has always been interconnected with economy particularly the development of international trade. However, unlike the previous historical periods, the era of global interaction, developing an intense economic competition, simultaneously contributes to growth of interdependence between economic systems of various countries. Thus, there arises a legitimate question: whether or not the professional diplomats and experts in international relations should be concerned with the state economic administration. What are the practical and theoretical grounds for studying economic coercion from the position of world politics and science on international relations? It is suggested that such articulation of the problem initially implies presence of an objective need for detailed analysis by the expert-analytical community of economic sanctions (same as other instruments of economic coercion) in the context of global and regional international politics. The goal of this research consists in conceptualization of the term “economic sanctions” as a category of international-political science in light of its more relevant analytical angles and theoretical-methodological approaches. A conclusion is made that the effective application of economic sanctions as a regulatory instrument for international politics is often overestimated. The states that initiated sanctions launch a sanction mechanism in such instances, when they do not see other alternatives for various reasons. Sanctions become successful when imposed by an entire coalition, rather than a separate country; then in can affect the political elites and not only the regular citizens. The scientific novelty and practical importance is defined by the fact that the acquired results can be used in scientific and pedagogical activity in studying specific forms and methods of realization of economic diplomacy in Russia and foreign countries, as well as can be of interests for the experts in international political and economic cooperation.

As a result, the author was able to reveal certain peculiarities of avant-garde and constructivism as an approach and activity, as well as underline that avant-garde and constructivism as approaches also suggest conceptualism. The role of conceptualism consists in outlining and explaining of reality, created by an artist for their audience.

Art and aesthetic structures of metaphysics of color
Authors: Kormin Nikolai Aleksandrovich
Published: September 2020

This article analyzes the aesthetics of color as a branch of metaphysics of light and entire photonic zone, which from phenomenological perspective can be viewed as the source of intentional radiations in various bands. It is demonstrated that the image of light is the result of work of aesthetic and artistic consciousness that pan the world and place of a human therein; at the same time, it is important to underline the set-up of meaning with all its predicates in the a posteriori score of color perception itself. Special attention is given to examination of the phenomenology of color. Metaphysically, it represents an even, when the color reflect itself in the value and acquires a prospect. Structuring of modern phenomenological attitude to reality leads to the emergence of new opportunities for the experience of working with color, reconsideration of beauty of coloristic data. According to Husserl, color originated by fantasy, can be an act of life within aesthetic consciousness. Despite the rich research material on the topic, these is still no special research that would demonstrate the artistic shift of boundaries of the color image in relation to metaphysical axes of reference (which becomes a leitmotif for metaphysical painting Giorgio de Chirico), as well as possibility of existence of cross-platform toolset that works on several instrumental systems of aesthetic consciousness and allows conducting the analysis of aesthetic methods of examination of the color itself. This article helps to fulfill such gap.
