Published: February 2024

Abstract. Atmospheric aerosols have important impacts on air quality and the Earth–atmospheric energy balance. However, as computing power is limited, Earth system models generally use coarse spatial grids and parameterize finer-scale atmospheric processes. These parameterizations and the simulation of atmospheric aerosols are often sensitive to model horizontal resolutions. Understanding the sensitivities is necessary for the development of Earth system models at higher resolutions with the deployment of more powerful supercomputers. Using the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) version 1, this study investigates the impact of horizontal grid spacing on the simulated aerosol mass budget, aerosol–cloud interactions, and the effective radiative forcing of anthropogenic aerosols (ERFaer) over the contiguous United States. We examine the resolution sensitivity by comparing the nudged simulation results for 2016 from the low-resolution model (LR) and the regional refinement model (RRM). As expected, the simulated emissions of natural dust, sea salt, and marine organic matter are substantially higher in the RRM than in the LR. In addition, RRM simulates stronger aqueous-phase production of sulfate through the enhanced oxidation of sulfur dioxide by hydrogen peroxide due to increased cloud liquid water content. In contrast, the gas-phase chemical production of sulfate is slightly suppressed. The RRM resolves more large-scale precipitation and produces less convective precipitation than the LR, leading to increased (decreased) aerosol wet scavenging by large-scale (convective) precipitation. Regarding aerosol effects on clouds, RRM produces larger temporal variabilities in the large-scale liquid cloud fractions than LR, resulting in increased microphysical cloud processing of aerosols (more interstitial aerosols are converted to cloud-borne aerosols via aerosol activation) in RRM. Water vapor condensation is also enhanced in RRM compared to LR. Consequently, the RRM simulation produces more cloud droplets, a larger cloud droplet radius, a higher liquid water path, and a larger cloud optical depth than the LR simulation. A comparison of the present-day and pre-industrial simulations indicates that, for this contiguous United States domain, the higher-resolution increases ERFaer at the top of the model by about 12 %, which is mainly attributed to the strengthened indirect effect associated with aerosol–cloud interactions.
Evaluation and optimisation of the soil carbon turnover routine in the MONICA model (version 3.3.1)
Authors: Aiteew Konstantin , Rouhiainen Jarno , Nendel Claas , Dechow René
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Simulation models are tools commonly used to predict changes in soil carbon stocks. Prior validation is essential, however, for determining the reliability and applicability of model results. In this study, the process-based biogeochemical model MONICA (Model of Nitrogen and Carbon dynamics on Agro-ecosystems) was evaluated with respect to soil organic carbon (SOC), using long-term monitoring data from 46 German agricultural sites. A revision and parameterisation of equations, encompassing crop- and fertiliser-specific C contents and the abiotic factors of soil temperature, soil water and clay content, were undertaken and included in the model. The modified version was also used for a Morris elementary effects screening method, which confirmed the importance of environmental and management factors to the model's performance. The model was then calibrated by means of Bayesian inference, using the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm. The performance of the MONICA model was compared with that of five established carbon turnover models (CCB, CENTURY, C-TOOL, ICBM and RothC). The original MONICA model systematically overestimated SOC decomposition rates and produced on average a ∼17 % greater mean absolute error (MAE) than the other models. The modification and calibration significantly improved its performance, reducing the MAE by ∼30 %. Consequently, MONICA outperformed CENTURY, CCB and C-TOOL, and produced results comparable with ICBM and RothC. Use of the modified model allowed mostly adequate reproduction of site-specific SOC stocks, while the availability of a nitrogen, plant growth and water submodel enhanced its applicability when compared with models that only describe carbon dynamics.

Published: February 2024

Abstract. The present research concerns the contextualisation and presentation of eleven small statues from the Tang era dated from the XI and XII centuries CE today housed at the Asian Art Museum in Turin (MAO). A multidisciplinary group with expertise in Asian art, digital representation, and information processing systems, with the support of VR@POLITO and MOD Lab Arch of the Politecnico di Torino is involved in the work. The goal is to present together several Tang-era pottery models not belonging to the same funerary outfit within the spaces of a coeval, philologically compatible hypogeal tomb. With a pronounced storytelling intent, the reconstructive 3D model represents a virtual exhibition project summarizing Tang art’s architectural, pictorial, and sculptural features. The pipeline was developed through photogrammetric acquisition with Structure from Motion (SfM) technology and 3D modeling of the artworks, reconstructive modeling and texturing of a Tang tomb as the ideal space of the statues, and communication through a virtual reality (VR) experience augmented with a set of information.
EVALUATION OF NERF 3D RECONSTRUCTION FOR ROCK ART DOCUMENTATION

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Digital documentation of rock art traditionally relies on a point cloud captured by a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) or derived from an oriented image obtained using photogrammetry. In modern photogrammetry, the dense point cloud is generated using multi-view stereo (MVS) and subsequently used to generate a photorealistic 3D model. A recent method to reconstruct 3D models from images is Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), which uses volume density to render the scenes through neural networks. The advantage of NeRF is that it can construct 3D models faster without using high computer processors and memory. NeRF has been studied in various applications, including cultural heritage, but not specifically for rock art documentation. Therefore, this paper evaluates three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction techniques using NeRF on Nerfstudio platform on two rock art datasets and compares them with the point cloud and 3D mesh models obtained from TLS and photogrammetry/MVS. The results have shown that NeRF does not match MVS in achieving geometric precision and texture quality. However, its learning-based approach accelerates reconstruction and offers potential enhancements to complement photogrammetric workflow.

Desde verbos realizativos hasta verbos introductores del discurso ajeno: estudio contrastivo en español y chino
Authors: Yu Yang
Published: February 2024

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar los verbos introductores de los dos principales procedimientos para citar: el estilo directo (en adelante, ED) y el estilo indirecto (en adelante, EI) en dos lenguas en contraste: español y chino. Para revelar el origen de los verbos introductores, nos basamos en la teoría de los actos de habla y nos damos cuenta de que tienen dos procedencias: el verbo enunciativo, que se halla en la estructura enunciativa implícita “te digo”, y los verbos ilocutivos que poseen el valor realizativo. Las dos fuentes de verbos introductores son iguales tanto en chino como en español. Pero en chino el verbo “decir” 说 (shuō) sufre el proceso de gramaticalización y se transforma en la marca citativa.

Para estudiar este fenómeno se utilizó la metodología cualitativa y cuantitativa basada en el análisis textual computarizado de las funciones retóricas de las citas, ordenadas en una tipología clasificadora que modificaba el esquema propuesto por Petrić en su artículo de 2007. Los resultados obtenidos en la investigación mostraron diferencias entre las convenciones culturales de los grupos en la composición de los Trabajos de Fin de Máster.
El pronombre reasuntivo en español como mecanismo de concordancia
Authors: Agulló Jorge
Published: February 2024

Las oraciones de relativo (semi)libres, que reciben la marca de caso de la posición sintáctica que ocupan, marcan también el pronombre relativo introductor según la posición del participante o variable de interpretación ligada. La sintaxis del español permite que tales oraciones sean concordantes (i. e. el caso del grupo relativo y el de la oración coinciden) o discordantes; posibilidad esta última que, sin embargo, está sujeta a no pocas restricciones. Este artículo sustenta con nuevos datos la hipótesis de que el pronombre reasuntivo puede hacer concordar dos marcas de caso discordantes y salvaguardar, con ello, la gramaticalidad o buena formación de la construcción. El análisis propuesto de este tipo de pronombre reasuntivo lo concibe como un pronombre degradado o decolorado en cierta medida, que no correfiere con ningún antecedente, sino que solo transmite una marca de caso preposicional. Asumir la degradación de estos pronombres permite prescindir de los análisis que reconocen la existencia de un antecedente implícito en estas estructuras.
Signalling digression in Spanish and English: Evidence from parliamentary discourse
Authors: Martínez Caro Elena
Published: February 2024

Digression is a discourse function that is identifiable and distinct from other similar functional strategies, and varies cross-linguistically. This paper investigates the way speakers of Spanish and English digress from their main discourse topics and how these transitions are marked. Once digression is defined by the proposal of four features considered to be inherent in this concept, the paper focuses on so-called 'digression formulating phrases', recurrent expressions which make explicit reference to the digression and signal that a new direction with respect to topic is proposed. The paper thus adopts a less common than the usual approach to discourse coherence and digression, whose literature has largely focused on discourse markers. The dataset, extracted from a corpus of parliamentary discourse, is analysed in an attempt to address two research questions. I investigate, first, the frequency and distribution of the selected digression formulating phrases in the two languages, and discern which of the two contexts of digression (i.e. beginnings and ends) is more highly marked, and, second, their use in connection to aspects such as syntactic configuration and position, and co-occurring features of semantic and pragmatic meaning. The contrastive perspective adds precision and richness to the treatment of digression.
Who has the last word? Lessons from using ChatGPT to develop an AI-based Spanish writing assistant
Authors: Tarp Sven , Nomdedeu-Rull Antoni
Published: February 2024

This article deals with the complex relationship between human intelligence and so-called artificial intelligence in the context of an ongoing project to develop a writing assistant for Spanish learners, both native and non-native. The authors have used ChatGPT to generate validation data to assess the performance of the language model on different parameters before testing it with real users. The article describes how they approached the generation of validation data, what they learned along the way, and what the results were. It first introduces the project and describes its main phases. It then explains the criteria the authors used to determine the types of problems to be covered by the validation data, and how they instructed the chatbot to generate this data. Finally, it summarises the main lessons they learnt from working with the chatbot and some of the challenges they faced in getting it to work properly. The description is accompanied by numerous examples. By engaging with the chatbot in a critical and constructive way, and by establishing close interdisciplinary collaboration with IT specialists, the authors conclude that the key challenge is to demonstrate in practice that humans, not the chatbot, are the masters. In this context, they argue that generative AI language models are not here to replace us, but to help us produce faster and with higher quality to meet our growing and increasingly diverse demands for a better life.
La modalización de la situación comunicativa en la teorización sobre la variación lingüístic
Authors: López Serena Araceli
Published: February 2024

La situación comunicativa en que se desenvuelve una determinada interacción verbal desencadena la aparición o la inhibición de determinados rasgos fónicos (o gráficos), léxicos, sintácticos o discursivos. Considerados desde una cierta distancia, los parámetros manejados por las corrientes teóricas que han propuesto modelizaciones de la situación comunicativa parecen coincidir en un alto grado. Sin embargo, en un examen más pormenorizado, se constatan diferencias significativas, así como algunos problemas no menores. El presente artículo se centra en cinco de ellos: los relacionados con (i) la imprecisión en la definición de los parámetros situacionales que se destacan, (ii) la falta de justificación de la elección de unos determinados parámetros en detrimento de otros, (iii) la falta de coincidencia entre los parámetros propuestos por unos y otros autores, (iv) la indistinción entre los parámetros que determinan la variación en cuanto al género y los que condicionan la variación de registro y (v) la escasez de estudios descriptivos variacionalmente contrastivos que sirvan para poner a prueba la validez de los diferentes modelos o de los diferentes repertorios de parámetros situacionales o factores extralingüísticos de la situación.
Sobre la administración de bienes familiares: propuesta de mejora en el discurso de Aonio Paleario
Authors: García Fernández José
Published: February 2024

Aonio Paleario destacó por la defensa de posiciones filóginas que procurarían desmitificar las estructuras del patriarcado. Basado en el examen filológico de Dell’economia o vero del governo della casa (1555), este artículo pone de manifiesto cómo Paleario consideraba a las mujeres del todo idóneas para la administración de bienes y recursos. Para el autor, ser hombre no se asocia necesariamente con dar una imagen de pulcritud y profesionalidad en la gestión del patrimonio familiar. Por ello, promoviendo acciones específicas en favor de las mujeres, Paleario se sirve de su pensamiento discursivo para demostrar cómo la participación del colectivo femenino en la economía doméstica resulta clave para el desarrollo de la familia.
El mito de Ifigenia según los escritores filóginos del Renacimiento

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of fathers' participation in the Father Support Education Programme on their perception of their role as fathers and the development of play skills in their children. The study sample comprised 40 fathers whose children, aged 5 and 6, were enrolled in independent pre-schools located in the city centre of Bartın. The experimental design of pre-test and post-test control group was adopted to facilitate the study. All technical terms were defined when first used. The study comprised 20 fathers, who were divided into control and study groups. Fathers in the study group received the Father Support Education Program over a period of 10 weeks, while no education program was provided to the control group. Information was collected using the "Personal Information Form," "Father Role Perception Scale (FRPS)," and "Game Skills Assessment Scale (PSAS)." The research's quantitative data was analysed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) programme for Windows 22.0. To compare continuous data between two independent groups, the t-test was employed. The analysis established that following the educational programme, fathers in the study group exhibited a significant difference between their pre-test and post-test mean scores for their roles in their children's play skills. It was found that the Father Support Education Programme had a positive impact on fathers' roles and the development of children's play skills.

Comparative efficacy of two Kokilaksha Formulations vis-a-vis Vinblastine, using Seed Germination Inhibition
Authors: Menon Mrinalini , G. Athreya Akshata
Published: February 2024

Seed germination inhibition was previously demonstrated as a simple preliminary method for the identification of potential anticancer compounds. Studies conducted by us have indicated that horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum) germination was inhibited significantly, by the herbal drug termed HST-K derived from Asteracantha longifolia. Presently we have determined the EC-50 values of the same drug and along with a commercially available formulation of Kokilaksha using the seed-based assay method and expressed these values as equivalents of vinblastine. Efficacy of the HST-K drug was found to be 2.3, 3.1 and 1.6 fold greater than the commercially available formulation of Kokilaksha with respect to the retardation of seed weight, amylolytic and alkaline phosphatase activities respectively. The EC-50 value for vinblastine with respect to seed weight inhibition was calculated as 0.07mg/ml which corresponded to the 49.2-fold diluted HST-K extract. Likewise, the 117.- fold and 88.7-fold diluted HST-K drug formulation was found to be equivalent to 0.05mg/ml and 0.04mg/ml of vinblastine in terms of EC-50 values for amylolytic and alkaline phosphatase activities respectively. The HST-K extract was thus more efficacious than the commercially used formulation of Kokilaksha as evidenced by our present studies.

Published: February 2024

El turismo literario es una forma del viaje cultural que está tomando fuerza desde la vida de un autor y su relación con la ciudad. De ahí que sea relevante que en la estructuración de una ruta y los guiones turísticos para el turismo literario se tenga como centro la formación del escritor y en las experiencias que ha tenido con la ciudad o el espacio rural habitado. Uno de los objetivos del turismo literario es la puesta en valor de una forma de recordar el vínculo del escritor con su ciudad. En el caso de Gabriel García Márquez es necesario rememorar algunos espacios de la ciudad de Bogotá y de un municipio cercano como Zipaquirá donde se formó no solo como bachiller, sino como poeta y escritor. Para destacar estos lugares que se relacionaron con la formación de Gabo como escritor se propone una ruta turística que se nutra de los diferentes recorridos del escritor entre Bogotá y Zipaquirá. Metodológicamente se procedió mediante análisis documental para conectar algunos lugares y espacios bogotanos que, aunque no existan en la actualidad, permanecen en el recuerdo de la formación de Gabo como escritor.

Riffing on Feyerabend: Direct Observation, Paraconsistentist Logic, and a Research Immanent Account of the Rationaliy of Science
Authors: Couvalis George
Published: February 2024

Feyerabend’s work, particularly his early papers contain important insights into the nature of science and scientific progress. I discuss his insights into the limits of empiricist foundationalism and positivism. I explain how the work of a number of philosophers has borne out Feyerabend’s claims in startling and interesting ways. Nevertheless, I criticise Feyerabend’s move from his attack on universal method to relativism. I point out that Feyerabend never confronted a well-developed research immanent view of the rationality of scientific change, which shows the limitations of the arguments in Against Method.

Synergistic Analysis of Hydrothermally Synthesized PANI-GO: MnO2/MoO3 Nanocomposites for Enhanced Structural and Supercapacitor Performance
Authors: R Kalpana , P Subbramaniyan
Published: February 2024

This study explores the potential of PANI-GO:MnO2/MoO3 nanocomposites as high-performance supercapacitors, addressing the increasing energy storage demands in portable electronics devices. By varying the amount of polyaniline (PANI) alongside a ternary composite of GO/MnO2/MoO3, the present study investigates their combined influence on electrochemical performance. XRD analysis confirmed the hexagonal phase with an average particle size of 19 nm, and FTIR analysis showed the functional groups associated with the title compound. FESEM images demonstrated the leaf-like structures, and the EDAX spectrum confirmed the presence of Mn and Mo elements in the as-prepared samples. Electrochemical analysis showed a maximum capacitance of 596 F/g. The unique blend of graphene, polyaniline, and ternary metal oxides in these nanocomposites holds great promise for advanced supercapacitors. The research aims to understand how different levels of polyaniline impact the overall composition, providing insights into the synergies between these components and their effects on energy storage capabilities.

Published: February 2024

Background: Metaplastic breast cancer is a clinically rare subtype of breast carcinomas, accounting for less than 1% of all breast neoplasms, and was not officially recognized till the end of the 20th century as an independent pathological diagnosis. Objective: In this paper, we report a case of metaplastic breast cancer with squamous differentiation in a 51-year-old female, with a succinct review of the literature. Case Report: The patient presented to our outpatient department with a complaint of left breast mass for 2 months duration with a diagnostic workup found to be grade three metaplastic carcinoma with squamous differentiation. The management decision was to proceed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by surgical intervention based on the tumor cell response to neoadjuvant therapy. Conclusion: Metaplastic breast cancer represents a rare clinical entity, encountered in a minority of patients. The clinical presentation of metaplastic carcinomas in general is similar to other breast cancers, however, metaplastic breast cancer tend to present in later stages as a rapidly growing mass with poor prognosis. The recognized poor prognosis along with rarity necessities having a high index of suspicion for early detection and appropriate management of metaplastic breast cancer.
The impact of COVID-19 on cardiovascular disorders in patients who admitted to cardiology outpatient unit
Authors: Akpek Mahmut
Published: February 2024

The coronavirus outbreak is an important challenge and has affected the world since December 2019. Little is known, however, regarding the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on cardiovascular disorders in the cardiology outpatient unit. This trial aimed to examine the nature of patients who were admitted the cardiology outpatient unit before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Totally, 6254 patients who were admitted to the cardiology outpatient unit from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 and January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 were included. The patients who admitted from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 were defined as pre-pandemic group. The patients who were admitted from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 were defined as post-pandemic group. There were 2575 (mean age 57.9±16.9 years, male 47%) patients in pre-pandemic group, while 3679 (mean age 59.1±17.0 years, male 47%) patients in post-pandemic group. The patients in post-pandemic group were significantly older than those in pre-pandemic group (60.0 (46.0-71.0) vs. 62.0 (47.0-73.0) years, p = 0.005). The number of patients who were admitted for hypertension (HT) significantly higher in post-pandemic group compared to pre-pandemic group (930 (36%) vs. 1646 (45%), p<0.001). The new-onset HT was significantly higher in post-pandemic group than in pre-pandemic group (407 (11%) vs. 186 (7%), p<0.001). Admission for atrial fibrillation (AF) was significantly increased after coronavirus pandemic when compared to before (324 (13%) vs. 670 (18%), p<0.001). New-onset AF was also significantly higher in post-pandemic group than in pre-pandemic group (35 (1%) vs. 95 (3%), p=0.001). Not all cardiovascular disorders but admission for HT and AF were significantly increased in the post-pandemic period. With the end of pandemic, physicians should be more careful in the risk prediction of patients who potentially have HT and AF in cardiology outpatient unit.

Background: The role of diagnostic imaging is to determine whether the condition is medically or surgically treatable and, if possible, to diagnose the exact nature of the disease. Chest radiography is also commonly used to demonstrate extra-abdominal causes of acute abdominal pain, such as pneumonia. Ultrasonography is the initial choice of investigation that is likely useful to conclude for the following reasons, namely, it is relatively inexpensive, lack of radiation exposure, less time-consuming, easy, painless, and rarely requiring sedation. Usually, no preparation is required except in a few cases. It is also the preferred imaging tool for evaluating the surgical and non-surgical causes of acute abdomen in children. Ultrasound is also the preferred screening method for children suspected of having intra-abdominal mass.

Aim and Objective: The present study is undertaken: (1) To identify specific causes of non-traumatic acute abdominal (NTA) pain in children; (2) to adopt the diagnostic efficacy of sonography as an initial tool for assessing those patients with probable clinical diagnosis; and (3) to triage patients for conservative or immediate surgery with available clinical diagnostic methods.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of 100 pediatric patients aged between 1 and 14 years of both sexes with a history of non-traumatic acute abdomen attending outpatient services, in-patient, and emergency department at the Chamarajanagar Institute of Medical Sciences (CIMS) was conducted between March 2016 and March 2018 (for 2 years) for sonography.

Results: Among 100 individuals, we had males followed by females (53%; 47%). The most common clinical symptoms of children with NTA were pain. Other symptoms included vomiting (66.7%; 15%), fever (68.5%; 31.6%), diarrhea (40%; 60%), cough (50%; 50%), and constipation (1%; 1%). The maximum number of cases in the group was >5 years–14 years. The most common sonography findings in this study were non-specific mesenteric lymphadenitis 49.4%, appendicitis (18.7%), intussusception, and cystitis (6.7%). followed by renal hydronephrosis (5.3%).

Conclusion: Sonography, along with the associated clinical features, is a valuable adjuvant for a probable diagnosis. Other investigations such as laboratory findings, contrast-enhanced CT scan as indicated by the patient’s condition and requirement can be supported. This is particularly important in C-grade locations where other higher modes of investigation may not be available.

Research shows that the size of a nation's science and technology (S&T) labor force and training system have a positive effect on economic development (Schofer et al., 2000). Specifically, a highly skilled S&T workforce is considered one of four pillars required to transform into a knowledge-based economy (ADB, 2007). And within the last decade or so, there is a resurgence of efforts of various countries, including the Philippines, to quantify the contributions of its S&T workforce in creating a positive impact in society towards nation building (DOST, 2019). This paper deals with the Philippines' S&T human capital development (HCD) situation. It draws on the recent series of evidence-based email discussions and webinars facilitated by the Philippine American Academy of Science and Engineering (PAASE) and related research findings and supporting data. The paper aims to present a factual assessment of the S&T HCD situation, offer recommendations for improvements to the concerned government agencies, and propose strategies by which PAASE can help meet our country's S&T human capital needs.

It is thought that only patients with major thalassemia need to be under healthy control compared to minor. Thus, the aim of this work is to investigate the minor thalassemia complications in the liver status and compare them with the major thalassemia. So, 84 patients with thalassemia were randomly selected; 56 with major and 28 with minor. The Blood Samples were collected and used to determine the levels of ferritin, liver enzymes and lipid profiles. The results were showed that while there were no significantly differences in the ALP levels, ALT and AST levels were significantly higher in the major thalassemia compared to minor. All the patients with major and minor had abnormal higher ALP, 45% of major had abnormal higher AST and 30% of the major had abnormal ALT than normal range. Bild, BilT, cholesterol and trig levels were significantly higher while LDH and UHDL levels were significantly lower in the major compared to minor. The Bild levels in 90% of the major compared to 40% of the minor were abnormal higher than normal range. As conclusion, there were abnormality in the ALP and some lipid profile of minor thalassemia. So, the patients with minor thalassemia could be under risk of liver disorder so they need to be under control and to find the exact reason of this disorder need more researches.
