Cultivation of hydrocarbon-tolerant microalgae in flowback wastewaters produced during hydrofracking of impermeable rocks
Authors: Lutzu Giovanni Antonio , Concas Alessandro , Dunford Nurhan Turgut
Published: September 2022

Huge amounts of Wastewaters (WWs) are produced yearly by the hydrofracking of impermeable rock formations for the extraction of oil or natural gas. Flowback Wastewaters (FWs) are characterized by high contents of inorganic contaminants and hydrocarbons thus representing a relevant threat for the environment. In this work three hydrocarbon-tolerant microalgae have been cultivated in flowback water generated during hydraulic fracturing to investigate their growth kinetics. All three strains could grow in FWs irrespective of the presence of oil hydrocarbons. Biomass productivity varied significantly among the strains. Ochromonas danica achieved a specific growth rate equal to 0.386 day-1 during the exponential phase and a maximum biomass productivity equal to 39 mg L-1 day-1 after 11 days of batch cultivation. Scenedesmus dimorphus was capable to grow in the FWs by achieving a biomass concentration equal to 0.5 g L-1 after about 25 days of cultivation. On the contrary, Prototheca zopfii was strongly affected by the contaminants of FWs. Ultimately, this study demonstrated that specific strains of microalgae could thrive in FWs and thus represent suitable candidates to future research activity aimed to verify the possibility to bio-remediate these harmful WWs.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) continues to pose a major global health threat with serious economic burden in sub-Saharan Africa, especially Nigeria. This condition is often worsened as most diabetic patients have other accompanying comorbidities such as hypertension, stroke, heart disease and obesity, further putting a strain on their wellbeing. In spite of the several orthodox medicines for the treatment of diabetes and its comorbidities, complication arising from the use of such agents have limited therapeutic success. It is therefore imperative to search for safer alternative and affordable treatment options from plants.

This study aimed at accessing and documenting the medicinal plants used in four local government areas of South-Western Nigeria for the management of diabetes and its comorbidities. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to obtain information from traditional medical practitioners, village elders and herb sellers. The data obtained were analyzed and discussed in relation to previously published literature. Fifty-three respondents mostly males (77.4%) provided information on medicinal plants useful for the management of diabetes and its comorbidities. A total of 77 medicinal plants used concomitantly belonging to 44 plant families were mentioned by the respondents. 53 medicinal plants are being used for managing diabetes, 35 for hypertension, 28 for stroke, 17 for heart diseases and 25 for obesity. The frequently used plant species were Vernonia amygdalina Delile with use-mention-index (UMi) of 0.208, Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.) Swingle (UMi 0.170), Viscum album L. (UMi 0.151), Carica papaya L. (UMi 0.151) and Allium sativum L. (UMi 0.132). Citrus aurantifolia was the only plant mentioned for the management of the five ailments. Most diabetic patients often have one or more accompanying comorbidities. A safe and efficacious single herbal preparation that can manage both diabetes and its comorbidities may provide scientific breakthrough and relief from the side effects associated with the use of different synthetic drugs that is often experienced by sufferers of DM with accompanying comorbidities.

Published: September 2022

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can manifest with a wide range of extrapulmonary symptoms and have longterm consequences (so-called post-covid syndrome (PCS) or “long COVID-19”). Manifestations of PCS show a wide clinical spectrum and include cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, gastrointestinal, dermatological, mental symptoms, vascular thrombosis and avascular necrosis (AVN) of the bones.

We present our own observations of the development of bone’s AVN in 3 patients who underwent COVID-19 with bilateral lung disease, in whom after 4–6 months the first signs of AVN were noted and characterized by a progressive multifocal lesion, which was accompanied by an increase of C-reactive protein concentration.

The pathogenetic mechanisms of AVN development in the framework of PCS are discussed. The importance of conservative and surgical methods in the treatment of the disease are considered. Since the development of AVN of various localizations with a long latent period is possible after COVID-19, long-term monitoring of patients is required. Further study of the problem of PCS in general and AVN in particular is required.

One of the main tasks of modern complex therapy of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is to improve the quality of life of patients. To do this, it is necessary not only to achieve remission or low activity, but also to successfully control the main, most painful, manifestations of the disease. Therefore, when evaluating the results of RA treatment, the dynamics of not only standard indices (DAS28 (Disease Activity Score 28), CDAI (Clinical Disease Activity Index), SDAI (Simplified Disease Activity Index)), but also the so-called “patient reported outcomes” (PRO) – a patient’s global assessment of disease activity (PGA), pain, functional disorders and fatigue.

This review examines the effect of one of the main classes of anti–rheumatic drugs - biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) on the PROs. The results of a series of randomized controlled trials are presented, in which changes in PROs were studied using various tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) inhibitors, abatacept T-lymphocyte co-stimulation inhibitor, rituximab CD20 inhibitor and interleukin (IL) 6 inhibitors.

The use of bDMARDs in combination with methotrexate (MTX) provides a reduction in PGA and pain by 50-60%, functional disorders according to HAQ (Health Assessment Questionnaire) and fatigue according to FACIT-F (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy – Fatigue) – by 15-30%. B DMARDs monotherapy (with the exception of the effect of tocilizumab on HAQ) does not exceed MTX monotherapy in its effect on PROs. Monotherapy with tocilizumab provides more favorable dynamics of PGA and pain than monotherapy with TNF-α inhibitors. An important advantage of IL-6 inhibitors is the rapid achievement of a clinical effect, which is noted already in the first 2 weeks after the first administration of the drug.

Background. Systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is the leading cause of death in SSc. Predictors of the outcomes of ILD in SSc are under investigation.

Objective – to assess association of the digital ulcers with dynamics of forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco) in patients with SSc-ILD.

Methods. It was a longitudinal study involving 77 pts with SSc-ILD (mean age was 46±13.2; 69% have limited subset of the disease; 93% were female). The mean duration of follow up was 58.9±11.3 months. At the end of the study a number of pts with digital ulcers (DUs) was 27 (35%). Additionally 77 pts with SSc-ILD were investigated with HRCT and were divided into 3 groups; The group 1 (16 pts) with improvement; group 2 (39 pts) without any changes and group 3 (22 pts) with worsening of fibrosis. PFT (measurement of forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusion lung capacity (DLco)) were made.

Results. 27 (35%) pts with SSc-ILD had DUs at the end of the study. The most pts with DUs was in groups 2 and 3 (14 and 9) accordingly at the end of the study. After 5 years of follow up FVC increased significantly in all pts without DUs (n=54) from 88.5±19 to 96±23% (p<0.05); in group 1 – from 92±20.5 to 106±19% (p><0.05); in group 2 – from 87±18 to 94±23.5% (p><0.05) and only in group 3 FVC was stable (88±22 and 87±24.5%) (p>0.05). The mean value of FVC in all pts with DUs didn’t change (88±14 and 86±16%; p>0.05) with tendency to decreasing in group 3 (from 83±12.5 to 74±13%; p>0.05). After 5 years of follow up DLco declined significantly in all pts with or without DUs, however in the 1st group decline of DLco wasn’t significant. The decreasing of DLCO was more prominent in group 3 than in group 2. Therefore, in group 2 in patient without DU (n=24) – from 65±16 to 60±11% (p<0.05) and in patients with DU (n=14) DLCO changed from 61±15 to 57±14% (p><0.05). In group 3 in patients without DU (n=13) DLCO decreased from 55±15 to 48±15% (p><0.05) and in patients with DU (n=9) – from 50±20 to 44.5±15% (p><0.05). Conclusions. In patients without DUs significant increasing of FVC during 5 years long follow up was observed. The worsening of fibrosis on HRCT in pts with DUs was associated with the lowest value of FVC and DLco at the entry and at the end of the study. Key words: systemic sclerosis, interstitial lung disease, digital ulcers>˂ 0.05) and in patients with DU (n=14) DLCO changed from 61±15 to 57±14% (p 0.05). In group 3 in patients without DU (n=13) DLCO decreased from 55±15 to 48±15% (p˂ 0.05) and in patients with DU (n=9) – from 50±20 to 44.5±15% (p˂ 0.05).

Conclusions. In patients without DUs significant increasing of FVC during 5 years long follow up was observed. The worsening of fibrosis on HRCT in pts with DUs was associated with the lowest value of FVC and DLco at the entry and at the end of the study.

Published: September 2022

Actuality. Data on the prevalence of comorbid infections (CI) in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) are few. Risk factors for CI has not been sufficiently studied.

Objective. To evaluate the frequency of comorbid infections in patients with spondyloarthritis treated with biological drugs in the form of monotherapy or in combination with DMARD and/or GC.

Subjects and methods. The study included 93 patients (55 men, 38 women; average age – 37.0±11.5 years). In 59 patients, AS was diagnosed, in 32 – PsA, in 2 – undifferentiated SpA and SpA associated with nonspecific ulcerative colitis. All patients received biological drugs in combination with DMARD and/or GC or without them. The patients were interviewed by a research doctor with fi lling out a unified questionnaire. Additional information was obtained from medical records.

Results. The leading place in the structure of CI was occupied by respiratory tract infections and ENT organs, the 2nd place belonged to herpes viral infections, the 3rd to mycotic infection. Serious CI (SCI) were also represented mainly by injections of respiratory tract infections and ENT organs. A tendency to an increase in the frequency of pneumonia, tuberculosis, acute bronchitis, skin infections, genital organs and mycoses against the background of SpA compared to the period preceding the development of the disease (no significant differences were found) was revealed. 69% of patients noted a more severe course of previously observed CI. 47 patients reported the temporary cancellation of therapy due to the development of CI. 49% of patients have documented exacerbation of SpA. The number of cases of SCI against the background of SpA doubled (p=0.03). There was a positive correlation between the intake of GC and the development of mycoses (r=0.216; p=0.04); between the duration of taking GC and the development of eye infections (r=0.385; p=0.01); between the duration of taking methotrexate and the development of tonsillitis (r=0.25; p=0.03); between taking interleukin 12/23 inhibitors and the development of tonsillitis (r=0.261; p=0.01); between the duration of taking tumor necrosis factor α inhibitors (iTNF-α) and the development of otitis (r=0.287; p=0.01); between the number of consistently used iTNF-α and the development of otitis (r=0.273; p=0.02).

Conclusion. The data obtained indicate the relevance of the problem of CI in SpA. Further studies are needed on a larger cohort of patients with an assessment of the effect of therapy on the incidence of CI and the search for risk factors for CI.

Objetiva-se analisar como a metodologia da aprendizagem dialógica pode permitir a construção coletiva de conhecimentos matemáticos. Evidenciaremos como a argumentação construída pelas crianças a respeito das soluções encontradas para situações problema envolvendo probabilidade pode conduzir um grupo de 12 alunos do quinto ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública a construir conceitos relacionados ao pensamento probabilístico. Utilizamos uma metodologia qualitativa para analisar o modo como, através da conversa dialógica, os sujeitos  foram trocando ideias matemáticas e argumentos sobre os conceitos de probabilidade de modo a construção coletiva de conhecimentos matemáticos. As transcrições e protocolos entregues pelos alunos foram analisados utilizando-se a análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2002). Os dados demonstram que esses sujeitos construíram conhecimentos coletivamente sobre a) aleatoriedade, b) eventos impossíveis, c) conceito e aplicação do conceito de probabilidade e d) resolução criativa de problemas envolvendo probabilidade.
Análise argumentativa de uma redação nota mil do ENEM/2019
Authors: Tavares Correia Joelene
Published: September 2022

Este artigo apresenta um estudo exploratório para sondar as capacidades argumentativas mobilizadas em uma redação “nota mil” do ENEM/2019, publicada como modelo na Cartilha do participante do ENEM/2020. A fundamentação teórica apoia-se na concepção histórico-cultural-discursiva de capacidade argumentativa e nas perspectivas retórica, interacional e discursiva da argumentação. A análise da redação focaliza o contexto situacional da argumentação prática monologal, a construção dos argumentos e as estratégias enunciativas. O exame das estratégias argumentativas mobilizadas na redação revela a mobilização da capacidade argumentativa de sustentação, mas não de negociação e refutação. Espera-se que essa sondagem possa suscitar uma discussão sobre o aprimoramento do ensino das capacidades argumentativas na educação básica brasileira.
As capacidades argumentativas como objeto de ensino da argumentação
Authors: Alves Lima Sheyla Fabricia
Published: September 2022

Visando contribuir para a organização de conteúdos e metodologias de ensino-aprendizagem da argumentação, este artigo tem como objetivo discutir o conceito de capacidade argumentativa e propor um aprofundamento teórico, tendo por principal interesse refletir sobre o que é necessário saber/fazer para que os estudantes possam desenvolvê-las. Para tanto, assumimos a argumentação em perspectiva interacional (PLANTIN, 2008; GRÁCIO, 2010; 2013) e a abordagem histórico-cultural-discursiva (AZEVEDO, 2013; 2016; 2019) sobre o desenvolvimento de capacidades. Essa intersecção decorre, porque segundo a abordagem assumida sobre capacidades, a possibilidade de desenvolvimento só ocorre em situações de oposição de posições delimitadas pelas condições de uma situação argumentativa. Espera-se, a partir do acréscimo teórico das capacidades argumentativas específicas, contribuir para novas perspectivas de trabalho, pois colocar em evidência facetas pouco exploradas das capacidades argumentativas pode levar a se repensar seu desenvolvimento e, por conseguinte, seu ensino.
Student perceptions of reading digital texts for university study
Authors: Hargreaves Helen , Robin Sarah , Caldwell Elizabeth
Published: September 2022

An increasingly important aspect of undergraduate study is the ability to deal with reading academic texts digitally. Whilst the literature suggests that students prefer reading print texts (Foasberg, 2014; Mizrachi, 2015) and often have a deeper level of engagement with texts in this medium (Mangen et al., 2013; Delgado et al., 2018), the reality is that, for most students, digital texts are the norm. Study guides often focus on reading strategies that are considered broadly applicable to both digital and print formats. However, the differences between the two mediums are likely to impact on the strategies used, with students developing their own approaches as they gain more experience. In this paper, we present findings from a study exploring students’ perspectives and practices in relation to digital reading. We carried out focus group interviews with 20 students in their second or final year of undergraduate degree programmes. Our analysis reveals that reading texts digitally does indeed form the bulk of students’ reading activity, with ease and speed of accessibility, cost, and environmental considerations influencing this choice, and in some cases, precluding reading in print. However, despite the prominence of digital reading, some aspects of print reading – in particular the scope for more sustained focus, detailed reading and enjoyment of the experience – were highly valued by the students. Students’ approaches to reading digital texts varied depending on reading purpose, but, in general, students had developed a range of techniques to help them navigate digital reading.

Este artigo propõe um marco metodológico amplo para a formulação dos estudos feministas transnacionais da tradução, feito a partir de uma posição localizada e, portanto, necessariamente limitada. Para este fim, delimitamos nossa indagação na era dos feminismos transnacionais e, além disso, colocamos os feminismos transnacionais e os estudos feministas da tradução em relação. Após oferecer um estado da questão sobre a trajetória das perspectivas feministas de/sobre a tradução mais influentes em nosso contexto, para evidenciar seus princípios articuladores ao longo do tempo, valorizamos o espaço que existe nelas na atualidade para alojar novos debates em voga nos feminismos transnacionais. Especificamos o sentido da interseccionalidade, chave para explicar como distintos regimes de opressão interagem em um mundo marcado pela globalização e pelos valores neoliberais, destacando o papel (ético) fundamental da tradução para facilitar (ou obstruir) alianças transfronteiriças que desafiem as hegemonias imperantes. Reconhecemos assim, em nossa proposta dos estudos feministas da tradução, as colaborações de formulações feministas realizadas em espaços acadêmicos, centrando-nos principalmente nos latino-americanos, ibéricos e norte-americanos. Em seguida, analisamosos desafios e oportunidades propostas ao aplicar a perspectiva dos feminismos transnacionais aos estudos feministas da tradução e indicamos áreas de interesse comum já desenvolvidas. Nossa definição dos estudos feministas transnacionais da tradução se complementa com uma reflexão sobre possíveis intervenções que, a partir deste marco epistemológico, buscam influenciar, ter um impacto e transformar a prática e a pesquisa em matéria de tradução.

Introduction

Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with bone loss and the risk of osteoporotic fracture. Bone loss in this disease is mediated by inflammation and autoimmunity. Many studies have shown that anti-citrullinated protein antibody is capable of inducing bone loss through several mechanisms.
This study aimed to determine the relationship between autoimmunity, represented by anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin (anti-MCV) in this study, and bone loss, represented by C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-1), and N-terminal pro-peptide of type 1 procollagen (P1NP) in this study, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in remission and low disease activity.

Material and methods

This study enrolled 38 rheumatoid arthritis patients with disease remission and low disease activity in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital between August and September 2019. We collected the patients’ demographic data, Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28), and treatment history. All participants underwent blood work for anti-MCV, CTX-1, and P1NP.

Results

Thirty-four of the subjects were women (89.5%), with the mean age of 40 ±7.6 years and the median disease duration of 36 months. Among the subjects, 26 patients (68.4%) were anti-MCV positive. There was no correlation between anti-MCV and CTX-1 levels (r = 0.101, p = 0.274). There was a moderate negative correlation between anti-MCV and P1NP (r = –0.449, p = 0.001). The mean difference of P1NP according to anti-MCV level also showed a significant difference (p = 0.019).

Conclusions

The anti-MCV levels are not directly correlated with CTX-1 levels, indicating heterogeneity in the disease course even after inflammation has ceased. The anti-MCV and P1NP levels are moderately correlated, indicating that bone formation is resumed during the suppression of autoimmunity.

Introduction

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients have decreased natural killer (NK) cell counts. The decrease in the number of NK cells has implications for a decrease in the function of NK cells which can affect the progression of SLE disease. The study aim was to determine profiles of CD3–CD56bright and CD3–CD56dim NK cells in SLE patients and their relation to disease activity.

Material and methods

This study included 36 patients of SLE who fulfilled the ACR 1997/SLICC 2012 criteria, women aged 18–49 years. Disease activity was assessed by the Mex-SLEDAI. Peripheral blood samples from SLE patients were analyzed by flow cytometry to evaluate NK cell subsets, according to differential expression of the main subset of NK cells, which is CD3–CD56bright and CD3–CD56dim.

Results

The mean percentage of regulatory NK cell count (CD3–CD56bright) in active SLE patients was significantly lower (p = 0.000) than in inactive SLE patients. The mean percentage of cytotoxic NK cell count (CD3–CD56dim) in active SLE patients was significantly (p = 0.000) higher than in inactive SLE patients. A correlation was observed between two subsets of NK cells with disease activity (p = 0.00). The percentage of CD3–CD56bright NK cells was negatively correlated with disease activity (r = –0.766), whereas the percentage of CD3–CD56dim NK cells positively correlated with disease activity (r = 0.761). 

Conclusions

There is a difference in the mean percentage of the number of NK cells (CD3–CD56+) in both a subset of regulatory NK cells (CD3–CD56bright) and cytotoxic NK cells (CD3–CD56dim) in active and inactive SLE patients and it is closely related to SLE disease activity.

KONGLOMERASI MEDIA MEMPERKUAT HEGEMONI PENGUASA DAN OLIGARKI PADA ERA NEW MEDIA
Authors: Cahyana Ludhy
Published: September 2022

Media conglomeration is a real form of media political economy, where the commodification of information becomes a very profitable business. However, lately the media business is also hobbled to face an advertising tariff war with social media. However, the closeness of the big media owners with the power circle makes the media only as a tool to receive concessions or rewards that benefit the media owner's business. Thus, revenue from advertising can be excluded, but other businesses are still on the way to sustain their media business. This relationship also encourages the growth of the media with reporting that is not critical of the abuses of power by the government and their cronies. Even the media is a tool to strengthen the hegemony of power that works as soft power to cut people's critical reasoning

Published: September 2022

This study sought to investigate the mediating role of resilience between career adaptability and life satisfaction among Turkish university students, drawing on the LD approach. A total of 287 university students, 226 (78.7%) of whom were female and 61 (21.3%) were male, participated in the study. Participants' ages varied, from 19 to 37, with a mean of 21.23 (SD = 2.36). The mediating role of resilience in the relationship between career adaptability and life satisfaction was tested using structural equation modelling. In this study, it was found that resilience has a partial mediating role in the relationship between career adaptability and life satisfaction. This finding shows that career adaptability positively predicts life satisfaction both directly and indirectly via resilience in university students. The results indicated that it is easier for university students with high career adaptability to adapt to adverse conditions and recover themselves. Thus, these university students may evaluate their lives as more satisfactory. Both theoretical and practical consequences of the study's findings are given.

INTRODUCTION

Epistaxis is a common otolaryngologic problem that affects most of the general population. Common risk factors for epistaxis include nasal irritants, nasal/facial oxygen use, certain systemic conditions (e.g., hypertension and coagulopathies) and medication use (e.g., anticoagulants and intranasal medications). This study examined risk factors for and management of epistaxis in patients admitted for other medical conditions who developed an episode of epistaxis during their hospital admission.

METHODS

Patients were included in the study if they were older than 18, admitted for medical illnesses other than epistaxis and developed an episode of epistaxis during their admission during calendar year 2020 at the authors’ institution’s hospitals. Electronic health record data regarding sociodemographic characteristics, common risk factors (e.g. oxygen use, anticoagulant use, history of hypertension) and treatment for epistaxis (e.g. holding anticoagulation therapy, administration of oxymetazoline, nasal cautery, nasal packing) were extracted from each chart. Patients were split into otolaryngologic treatment versus no treatment groups and risk factors were compared between sample subgroups.

RESULTS

A total of 143 sample patients were included, with most common reason for admission being cardiovascular related, 48 (33.6%). Most patients, 104 (72.7%), did not have a previous diagnosis of epistaxis, were positive for anticoagulant use, 106 (74.1%) and were positive for hypertension, 95 (66.4%). Oxygen use showed a significantly decreased risk for intervention (OR 0.45, 95% CI: 0.23-0.894; p = 0.028). Most patients required changes in medical management (e.g., holding anticoagulation or starting nasal saline sprays/emollients).

CONCLUSION

These results demonstrate the common risk factors for epistaxis in patients admitted for other clinical diseases. Identifying at-risk patients for epistaxis at hospital admission can help to initiate measures to prevent epistaxis episodes. Future studies are needed to study epistaxis risk factors and identify effective preventative measures for epistaxis among hospital populations.

Abstract. Currently, the terahertz remote sensing technology is one of the best ways to detect the microphysical properties of ice clouds. Influenced by the representativeness of the ice crystal scattering (ICS) model, the existing terahertz ice cloud remote sensing inversion algorithms still have significant uncertainties. In this study, we developed a terahertz remote sensing inversion algorithm of the ice water path (IWP) and effective particle radius (Re) of ice clouds based on the Voronoi ICS model. This study utilized the single-scattering properties (extinction efficiency, single-scattering albedo and asymmetry factor) of the Voronoi and Sphere ICS models in the terahertz region. Combined with 14,408 groups of particle size distributions obtained from aircraft-based measurements, we completed the Voronoi and Sphere ICS schemes based on the Voronoi and Sphere ICS models. The two schemes were applied to the RSTAR radiative transfer model to carry out the sensitivity analysis of the top of cloud (TOC) terahertz brightness temperature differences (BTDs) on the IWP and Re. The sensitivity results showed that the TOC BTDs between 640 and 874 GHz are functions of the IWP, and the TOC BTDs between 380, 640 and 874 GHz are functions of the Re. The Voronoi ICS scheme possesses stronger sensitivity to the Re than the Sphere ICS scheme. Based on the sensitivity results, we built a multi-channel look-up table for BTDs. The IWP and Re were searched from the look-up table using an optimal estimation algorithm. We used 2000 BTD test data randomly generated by the RSTAR model to assess the algorithm’ s accuracy. Test results showed the correlation coefficients of the retrieved IWP and Re reach 0.99 and 0.98, respectively. As an application, we used the inversion algorithm to retrieve the ice cloud IWP and Re based on the CoSSIR airborne terahertz radiation measurements. Validation against the retrievals of the Bayesian algorithm reveals that the Voronoi ICS model performs better than the Sphere ICS model, with the enhancement of the Mean absolute error of 5.0 % and 12.8 % for IWP and Re, respectively. In summary, the results of this study confirmed the practicality and effectiveness of the Voronoi ICS model in the terahertz remote sensing inversion of ice cloud microphysical properties.
