El legado de Luciano Caño, profesor de la primera escuela de ciegos de A Coruña (1869 Zamora - 1936 A Coruña)
Authors: Rodríguez Díaz Ana L. , Gavari Starkie Elisa
Published: June 2020

Este artículo recoge el testimonio de Luciano Caño Lamas, maestro en la escuela de ciegos del Campo de la Leña de A Coruña. Las confesiones autobiográficas de esta ilustre personalidad nos desvelan las luces y las sombras de la vida y obra de un profesor ciego, que brilló en la música, como intérprete, compositor, como discursista, y en la actividad social que emprendió. Pero lo que es más relevante, sus declaraciones entrañan una visión crítica novedosa sobre el funcionamiento interno de algunos de los primeros establecimientos españoles dedicados a la enseñanza de los ciegos. Estos centros, si bien constituyen un importante legado humano y educativo, no estaban exentos de malas prácticas llegando a convivir, en ocasiones, el mercantilismo con la filantropía.Los apuntes autobiográficos de Luciano Caño Lamas, fundamento de este artículo, han sido rescatados del Archivo de la Real Academia Gallega y contrastados con los dos únicos escritos dedicados íntegramente a la escuela de ciegos de A Coruña y su fundador, prensa histórica y otra documentación de educación especial.

Clinical usefulness of ultrasound as an early diagnostic tool for neuroleukemiosis -a case report-
Authors: Baek Soon Ju , Lee Jung Woong , Chung Sukyung , Choi Shu Chung , Chon Jin Young
Published: June 2020

Background: Neuroleukemiosis is a rare complication of leukemia. The diagnosis may be delayed owing to non-specific symptoms and the need for special diagnostic modalities. Case: A 70-year-old man in his sixth year of remission from acute myeloid leukemia was referred to the pain clinic for shooting and radiating pain in the left posterior leg. A lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging showed mild disc bulging of the L2-3, which was insufficient to explain the patient’s symptoms. With insufficient pain response to lumbar epidural block and piriformis injection, we examined both sciatic nerves using an ultrasound and identified an enlarged hypoechoic mass on the left sciatic nerve at mid-thigh level. After that, we biopsied the mass under general anesthesia, and histology confirmed it to be neuroleukemiosis. Conclusions: Ultrasound is an inexpensive, non-invasive, simple, and quick diagnostic modality that can be used as a screening tool in the diagnosis of neuroleukemiosis.
The effect of interscalene brachial plexus block with propofol sedation on preventing perioperative hypothermia during arthroscopic shoulder surgery
Authors: Lee Ji Hye , Heo Hyun Joo , Kim Yu Yil , Baek Seung Min , Kim Ki Man , Jung Da Wa
Published: June 2020

Background: Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB) is commonly used with general anesthesia for postoperative pain management in shoulder surgery. This study investigated the incidence of hypothermia and changes in the body temperature in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery under ISBPB with propofol sedation.Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 220 patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Patients were divided into general anesthesia (n = 34) and ISBPB with propofol sedation (n = 186) groups, and medical records were retrospectively compared. In addition, patients from the ISBPB group were further divided according to age (elderly, [≥ 65 years]; n = 98 vs. young, [< 65 years]; n = 88), and the incidence of hypothermia and changes in the body temperature were compared. Results: Twenty-seven patients (12.3%) experienced perioperative hypothermia (range; 35.3–35.9℃). The incidence of perioperative hypothermia was 29.4% and 9.1% in the general anesthesia and ISBPB groups, respectively, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.002). The incidence of perioperative hypothermia according to age in the ISBPB group was 9.2% and 9.1% in the elderly and young groups, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.983).Conclusions: The incidence of perioperative hypothermia during arthroscopic shoulder surgery under ISBPB with propofol sedation is lower than that under general anesthesia. Furthermore, when using ISBPB with propofol sedation, the incidence of perioperative hypothermia in elderly patients is similar to that in younger patients.
Infection control of operating room and anesthesia for cesarean section during the COVID-19 outbreak in Daegu, the Republic of Korea -a case series-
Authors: Oh Jeongmin , Kim Eunju , Kim Hyunkyum , Lee Sang-Ah , Lee Kyeong Hee , Yu Mi Hyae , An Jihyun
Published: June 2020

Background: The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) was first reported in Wuhan, China, with Korea being subsequently exposed. In Korea, COVID-19 screening guidelines have been established in every hospital as an attempt to prevent its spread. There has been a previous report of a successful cesarean section of a confirmed mother; however, there remain no guidelines for suspected mothers. Cesarean section is often urgently operated without sufficient infection evaluations. We would like to suggest anesthetic management guidelines for cesarean section patients suspected of COVID-19.Case: Our hospital, which is located in Daegu, Korea, was designated as a quarantine and delivery facility for suspected mothers. We performed the cesarean section on seven suspected mothers and one confirmed mother. Conclusions: This case report presents guidelines for infection control during surgery and anesthesia for cesarean section of mothers with suspected COVID-19 involving operating room preparation and protection strategy.
Feynman amplitudes on moduli spaces of graphs
Authors: Berghoff Marko
Published: June 2020

This article introduces moduli spaces of coloured graphs on which Feynman amplitudes can be viewed as “discrete” volume densities. The basic idea behind this construction is that these moduli spaces decompose into disjoint unions of open cells on which parametric Feynman integrals are defined in a naturalway. Renormalisation of an amplitude translates then into the task of assigning to every cell a finite volume such that boundary relations between neighboring cells are respected. It is shown that this can be organized systematically using a type of Borel–Serre compactification of these moduli spaces. The key point is that in each compactified cell the newly added boundary components have a combinatorial description that resembles the forest structure of subdivergences of the corresponding Feynman diagram.
Evaluation of Operating Room Learning Environment for UAE Obstetrics and Gynecology Residents Using STEEM
Authors: Ramsi Ebtehal Al , Gami Neha
Published: June 2020

Background

The quality of the learning environment in the operating room (OR) is vital for the training of surgical residents. Tools with validity evidence exist to measure resident perceptions of the operative learning environment, yet to date no studies have assessed this environment for obstetrics and gynecology residency programs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Objective

We explored perceptions of obstetrics and gynecology residents regarding their operative learning environment in 2 hospitals in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Methods

Our cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018 using the validated Surgical Theater Educational Environmental Measure (STEEM) questionnaire for trainee assessments in the OR learning environment. The 4 STEEM subscales measure teaching and training, learning opportunities, overall atmosphere and supervision, workload, and support, respectively. Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation were used to establish the internal consistence and reliability of the questionnaire. We calculated an overall score and compared scores between the 2 institutions using Student's t test.

Results

Thirty-one residents completed the questionnaire (18 at Corniche Hospital and 13 at Al Ain Hospital). The overall average STEEM score was 142.1. The score for residents at Corniche Hospital was 134.9 and that for Al Ain Hospital was 152.2, with better overall scores on 3 STEEM domains at Al Ain Hospital.

Conclusions

Our study showed that obstetrics and gynecology residents in the UAE have a positive perception of their operative learning environment. We also identified areas for improvement.

Recognizing Ableism in Educational Initiatives: Reading between the Lines
Authors: Timberlake Maria
Published: June 2020

The ubiquity of ableism in education policy requires being increasingly alert to the portrayal of, (including the absence of), disability within educational initiatives. Ableism is a form of oppression, a largely unconscious acceptance of able-bodied norms from the inaccessibility of instructional materials, to assumptions about the body (a healthy body is within one’s control) to the acceptance of segregated settings. In response to the call for this special issue, previous qualitative inquiry into the unintended consequences of three educational reforms were synthesized using critical disability theory.  Seemingly disparate at first glance, all three initiatives, while ostensibly increasing equity, also contained ableism that reinforced stereotypes about student variability and served to further isolate disabled students. One federal (Alternate Assessment), one state (CCSS modules), and one local (project-based learning) policy implementation are included in this theoretical analysis. Reading between the lines means being alert to ableism, and is essential to prevent the historical marginalization of students with disabilities from continuing within contemporary “progress”.

Published: June 2020

Problemas relacionados a fragilidade de ecossistemas naturais à degradação ambiental têm sido motivo de discussões de ordem global entre cientistas e formuladores de políticas públicas. Neste sentido, esse estudo teve como objetivo modelar a Fragilidade Ambiental Potencial (FAP) do município de Almenara, Minas Gerais, visando o reconhecimento de potencialidades do meio biofísico susceptíveis à instabilidade ambiental natural e identificação de áreas para priorização à conservação. Utilizou-se a modelagem espacial a partir de uma análise de multicritério. Considerou-se 5 critérios para a avaliação: declividade do terreno, classes de solos, hierarquia fluvial, domínios geológicos e pluviosidade. Foram atribuídos pesos de fragilidade ambiental para as respectivas sub-classes de acordo com metodologia clássica: (I) Baixa, (II) Levemente Baixa, (III) Média, (IV) Alta e (V) Extremamente Alta. Por combinação linear ponderada gerou-se o mapa final de FAP. Aplicou-se o Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) para a determinação da hierarquia de importância dos critérios avaliados e cálculo do índice e razão de consistência da matriz AHP. Os resultados demonstraram que 29,72% da área de estudo apresenta alta fragilidade ambiental. O mapa de FAP poderá apoiar estratégias de ordenamento territorial e planejamento ambiental.

O presente trabalho consolida uma investigação que objetivou compreender como professores do Ensino Fundamental II da rede pública de ensino de um município da Zona da Mata de Alagoas reconhecem o estágio supervisionado.  O estudo foi baseado numa pesquisa de campo realizada em cinco escolas do município investigado. Foi possível observar que dentre professores que participaram da pesquisa, 82,22% tiveram a oportunidade de acompanhar estagiários, e todos consideraram que o estágio contribui para sua prática docente. Contudo, foi perceptível que nem todos os professores encontram-se preparados para essa experiência. Nesse sentido, consideramos fundamental investir em capacitação docente com foco no estágio supervisionado e no estreitamento dos laços entre as instituições educacionais (escola e ensino superior) envolvidas nesse processo formativo. Palavras-chave: Ambiente escolar, Estagiário, Experiência docente, Percepção, Professor colaborador

Divulgação científica em um Museu de Ciências: um estudo de público tendo como foco as famílias visitantes
Authors: Silva Anelissa Carinne dos Santos , Lorenzetti Leonir , Silva Camila Silveira da
Published: June 2020

No presente texto apresentamos resultados de análise das motivações de visitantes espontâneos a um Museu de Ciências. A investigação é qualitativa exploratória e os dados foram constituídos através de um questionário respondido pelo público no espaço do museu. Os resultados indicam pouca preocupação com o contexto onde se desenvolve a ciência, com as visitas pretendendo lazer e a educação dos filhos, além de haver críticas quanto à pouca divulgação do museu e exaltação sobre a estrutura do espaço e o processo de mediação. Disto infere-se a percepção positiva do público quanto à visita mas observa-se ainda uma prática restrita a público com maior capital cultural e escolar.
Visões de ciência que fundamentam materiais didáticos dos subprojetos do PIBID/Biologia da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco
Authors: Coutinho Fábio Campos
Published: June 2020

O estudo buscou compreender visões de ciência que fundamentam materiais didáticos dos subprojetos de Biologia do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência, da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, utilizados em práticas de ensino no período de 2009 a 2016. Para tanto, empreendemos uma pesquisa documental, a partir da seleção e análise de propostas de atividades de materiais didáticos. Constatamos que as visões prevalentes que fundamentam as propostas dos materiais designam à ciência o caráter rígido, empírico-indutivo e descontextualizado. Por essa razão, entendemos que esses elementos destoam das dimensões que constituem a ciência e que são necessárias à formação científica de professores e alunos, estando distantes de representar uma transformação inovadora na prática de ensino em Biologia.
Formações discursivas sobre o fenômeno da vida: conceitos polissêmicos
Authors: Rodrigues Jéssica Laguilio , Corazza Maria Júlia
Published: June 2020

Esta investigação ocorreu em um grupo de estudos vinculado a uma Comunidade de Prática de formação de professores, direcionada à estudos históricos, epistemológicos e didático-pedagógicos da biologia. Os sujeitos investigados desse grupo são professores pós-graduandos em Educação em Ciências de uma universidade pública do Estado do Paraná que, através de questionário, descreveram explicações sobre a vida – objeto de análise deste estudo. Através da análise do discurso, foram extraídos das formações discursivas os núcleos de significados que referenciam pensamentos desde o vitalismo ao organicismo/holístico, e que expressam uma polissemia de conceitos ontogenéticos sobre este fenômeno.

Authors: Figueiredo Roniel Santos , Souza Marcos Lopes de , Barbosa Ana Angélica Leal
Published: June 2020

Este artigo discute uma experiência educativa sobre as questões de gênero e sexualidade realizada com uma turma de estudantes do segundo ano do ensino médio em uma escola estadual do interior baiano. A proposta foi elaborada por um grupo do PIBID, subprojeto de Biologia. A ação foi realizada no período de seis semanas, em que as discussões foram marcadas pela presença do discurso biológico utilizado para deslegitimar e marginalizar as múltiplas formas de vivências da sexualidade e dos gêneros. Sobre a experiência de planejar e desenvolver essa ação, o grupo reconheceu o quão desafiador é se enveredar por este caminho, pois exige domínio dos conceitos específicos e disposição em lidar com as provocações e questionamentos trazidos pelos/as discentes.

Engines of Order
Authors: Rieder Bernhard
Published: June 2020

Software has become a key component of contemporary life and algorithms that rank, classify, or recommend are everywhere. Building on the philosophy of Gilbert Simondon and the cultural techniques tradition, this book examines the constructive and cumulative character of software and retraces the historical trajectories of a series of algorithmic techniques that have become the building blocks for contemporary practices of ordering. Developed in opposition to centuries of library tradition, these techniques instantiate dynamic, perspectivist, and interested forms of knowing. Embedded in technical infrastructures and economic logics, they have become engines of order that transform how we arrange information, ideas, and people.
The Power of Religious Societies in Shaping Early Modern Society and Identities
Authors: Peake Rose-Marie
Published: June 2020

The Power of Religious Societies in Shaping Early Modern Society and Identities studies the value system of the French Catholic community the Filles de la Charité, or the Daughters of Charity, in the first half of the seventeenth century. An analysis of the activities aimed at edifying morality in the different strata of society revealed a Christian anthropology with strong links to medieval traditions. The book argues that this was an important survival strategy for the Company with a disconcerting religious identity: the non-cloistered lifestyle of its members engaged in charity work had been made unlawful in the Council of Trent. Moreover, the directors Louise de Marillac and Vincent de Paul also had to find ways to curtail internal resistance as the sisters rebelled in quest of a more contemplative and enclosed vocation.
Masculinity, Identity, and Power Politics in the Age of Justinian
Authors: Stewart Michael
Published: June 2020

A generation of historians has been captivated by the notorious views on gender found in the mid-sixth century Secret History by the Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea. Yet the notable but subtler ways in which gender coloured Procopius' most significant work, the Wars, have received far less attention. This monograph examines how gender shaped the presentation of not only key personalities such as the seminal power-couples Theodora/ Justinian and Antonina/ Belisarius, but also the Persians, Vandals, Goths, Eastern Romans, and Italo-Romans, in both the Wars and the Secret History. By analysing the purpose and rationale behind Procopius' gendered depictions and ethnicizing worldview, this investigation unpicks his knotty agenda. Despite Procopius's reliance on classical antecedents, the gendered discourse that undergirds both texts under investigation must be understood within the broader context of contemporary political debates at a time when control of Italy and North Africa from Constantinople was contested.

The Asian Migrant’s Body: Emotion, Gender and Sexuality brings together papers that investigate the way Asian migrants experience, think about, perceive and utilize their bodies as part of the journeys they have embarked on. In exploring how bodies are physically and symbolically marked by migration experiences, this edited volume seeks to move beyond the immediate effects of hard labour and (potentially) exploitative or abusive situations. It shows that migrants are not only on the receiving end where it concerns their bodies, nor are their bodies only utilized for their work as migrants: they also seek control over their bodies and to make them part of strategies to express themselves. The collective papers in The Asian Migrant’s Body argue that the body itself is a primary site for understanding how migrants reflect on and experience their migration trajectories.
The Building as Screen
Authors: Colangelo Dave
Published: June 2020

The Building as Screen: A History, Theory, and Practice of Massive Media describes, historicizes, theorizes, and creatively deploys massive media -- a set of techno-social assemblages and practices that include large outdoor projections, programmable architectural façades, and urban screens -- in order to better understand their critical and creative potential. Massive media is named as such not only because of the size and subsequent visibility of this phenomenon but also for its characteristic networks and interactive screen and cinema-like qualities. Examples include the programmable lighting of the Empire State Building and the interactive projections of Montreal’s Quartier des spectacles, as well as a number of works created by the author himself. This book argues that massive media enables and necessitates the development of new practices of expanded cinema, public data visualization, and installation art and curation that blend the logics of urban space, monumentality, and the public sphere with the aesthetics and affordances of digital information and the moving image.
Shopping Spaces and the Urban Landscape in Early Modern Amsterdam, 1550-1850
Authors: Lesger Clé
Published: June 2020

In this study, the appearance and location of shops in Amsterdam during the early modern period is linked to major changes in the urban economy, the size and socio-spatial distribution of its population, and the structure of the urban grid. Not only is there ample attention for the spatial distribution of shops across the urban landscape, but for the first time it is also accurately charted what the exterior and interior of Amsterdam shops looked like and how they changed in the course of the centuries. Partly as a result of this, it has proved possible to give an impression of the ways in which retailers and customers interacted. The Dutch language edition of this book is available from Uitgeverij Verloren (2013): Het winkellandschap van Amsterdam, ISBN: 978 90 8704 373 5.
Danièle Huillet, Jean-Marie Straub
Authors: Turquety Benoît , Fendt Ted
Published: June 2020

Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub collaborated on films together from the mid-1960s through the mid-2000s, making formally radical adaptations in several languages of major works of European literature by authors including Franz Kafka, Bertolt Brecht, Friedrich Hölderlin, Pierre Corneille, Arnold Schoenberg, Cesare Pavese, and Elio Vittorini. The impact of their work comes in part from a search for radical objectivity, a theme present in certain underground currents of modernist art and theory in the writings of Benjamin and Adorno as well as in the "Objectivist" movement, a crucial group within American modernist poetry whose members included Louis Zukofsky, George Oppen, and Charles Reznikoff, with connections to William Carlos Williams and Ezra Pound. Through a detailed analysis of the films of Straub and Huillet, the works they adapted, and Objectivist poems and essays, Benoît Turquety locates common practices and explores a singular aesthetic approach where a work of art is conceived as an object, the artist an anonymous artisan, and where the force of politics and formal research attempt to reconcile with one another.

Today we are witnessing an increased use of data visualization in society. Across domains such as work, education and the news, various forms of graphs, charts and maps are used to explain, convince and tell stories. In an era in which more and more data are produced and circulated digitally, and digital tools make visualization production increasingly accessible, it is important to study the conditions under which such visual texts are generated, disseminated and thought to be of societal benefit. This book is a contribution to the multi-disciplined and multi-faceted conversation concerning the forms, uses and roles of data visualization in society. Do data visualizations do 'good' or 'bad'? Do they promote understanding and engagement, or do they do ideological work, privileging certain views of the world over others? The contributions in the book engage with these core questions from a range of disciplinary perspectives.
Money and Moralities in Contemporary Asia
Authors: Hoang Lan Anh , Alipio Cheryll , Zhang Juan , Horat Esther , ANG Sylvia , Defillipo Cassie , Singh Supriya , Gomes Catherine , Y. Jonathan , Huijsmans Roy
Published: June 2020

Money and Moralities in Contemporary Asia provides original, nuanced insights into social meanings of money and wealth in moral economies of Asia. Through case studies from South and Southeast Asia, the collection sheds important light on how the new mobilities and wealth created by neoliberal globalization transform people’s ways of life, notions of personhood, and their meaning making of the world. It highlights the moral dilemmas and anxieties emerging from the profound socio-economic transformations that are taking place across the region and deepens our understanding of local cultures as well as the inner contradictions of global capital in Asian contexts. With rich ethnographic insights and a diverse range of empirical contexts, chapters in this volume reveal multifaceted complexities and contradictions in the relationship between money and moralities. Money, they affirm, is not an impersonal, objective economic instrument with homogenizing powers but a culturally constructed and socially mediated currency in which meanings are constantly contested and re-negotiated across time and space.
Buddhist Responses to Christianity in Postwar Taiwan
Authors: Pacey Scott
Published: June 2020

After the Communist victory in China's civil war, Taiwan, then governed by the KMT (or Nationalist Party), became a focal point for both Buddhist and Christian activity in the Chinese world. Focusing on some of the most influential monastics of the time, this study considers Buddhist responses to Christianity during its subsequent period of growth on the island. Drawing on Buddhist and Christian publications, it shows that interfaith competition, and political context, are important in shaping religious identity and driving the religious engagement with modernity. Buddhist Responses to Christianity in Postwar Taiwan: Awakening the World will be of interest to historians of Buddhism, Chinese religion and Taiwanese society, and to those with an interest in interfaith dialogue more generally.

Protestors across the world use aesthetics in order to communicate their ideas and ensure their voices are heard. This book looks at protest aesthetics, which we consider to be the visual and performative elements of protest, such as images, symbols, graffiti, art, as well as the choreography of protest actions in public spaces. Through the use of social media, protestors have been able to create an alternative space for people to engage with politics that is more inclusive and participatory than traditional politics. This volume focuses on the role of visual culture in a highly mediated environment and draws on case studies from Europe, Thailand, South Africa, USA, Argentina, and the Middle East in order to demonstrate how protestors use aesthetics to communicate their demands and ideas. It examines how digital media is harnessed by protestors and argues that all protest aesthetics are performative and communicative.
The Netherlands and European Integration, 1950 to Present
Authors: Segers Mathieu ,   Uitgeverij Prometheus, Brown Andy
Published: June 2020

On 9 May 1950, France launched a revolutionary plan for supranational cooperation in Western Europe. The Netherlands was taken completely by surprise. In the decades that followed, European integration moved forward at an unprecedented pace, taking the Netherlands with it. Geography and the post-war world seemed to leave the country no other choice. European integration forced — and is still forcing — the Netherlands on a far-reaching ‘journey to the continent’. For the Netherlands, European integration represents a difficult journey to a new old world that often seems far off. How has that journey progressed so far? Why did the Netherlands join the common European market and currency from the very beginning? Was this course inevitable? And where has it brought the country? Using new, international source material, The Netherlands and European Integration, 1950 to Present digs deeply into the history of the Netherlands in Europe — a subject that is today more topical than ever.
The Dynamics of the Early Reformation in their Reformed Augustinian Context
Authors: Christman Robert
Published: June 2020

On 1 July 1523, Johann van den Esschen and Hendrik Voes, two Augustinian friars from Antwerp, were burned on the Grand Plaza in Brussels, thereby becoming the first victims of the Reformation. Despite being well-known, the event barely registers in most Reformation histories. By tracing its origins and examining the impact of the executions on Martin Luther, on the Reformed Augustinian world, and on the early Reformation in the Low Countries and the German speaking lands, this study definitively demonstrates that the burnings were in fact the dénouement of broader trends within Late Medieval Reformed Augustinianism, as well as a watershed in the early Reformation. In doing so, it also reveals the central role played by the Augustinian friars of Lower Germany in shaping both the content and spread of the early Reformation, as well as Wittenberg’s influence on the events leading up to these first executions.

Abstract. Atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O) levels have been continuously growing
since preindustrial times. Mitigation requires information about sources and
sinks on the regional and global scales. Isotopic composition of N2O in
the atmosphere could contribute valuable constraints. However, isotopic
records of N2O in the unpolluted atmosphere remain too scarce for
large-scale N2O models. Here, we report the results of discrete air
samples collected weekly to biweekly over a 5-year period at the
high-altitude research station Jungfraujoch, located in central Switzerland.
High-precision N2O isotopic measurements were made using a recently
developed preconcentration and laser spectroscopy technique. The measurements of
discrete samples were accompanied by in situ continuous measurements of N2O
mixing ratios. Our results indicate a pronounced seasonal pattern with
minimum N2O mixing ratios in late summer, associated with a maximum in
δ15Nbulk and a minimum in intramolecular 15N site
preference (δ15NSP). This pattern is most likely due to
stratosphere–troposphere exchange (STE), which delivers N2O-depleted
but 15N-enriched air from the stratosphere into the troposphere.
Variability in δ15NSP induced by changes in STE may be
masked by biogeochemical N2O production processes in late summer, which
are possibly dominated by a low-δ15NSP pathway of N2O
production (denitrification), providing an explanation for the observed
seasonality of δ15NSP. Footprint analyses and atmospheric
transport simulations of N2O for Jungfraujoch suggest that regional
emissions from the planetary boundary layer contribute to seasonal
variations of atmospheric N2O isotopic composition at Jungfraujoch,
albeit more clearly for δ15NSP and δ18O than
for δ15Nbulk. With the time series of 5 years, we
obtained a significant interannual trend for δ15Nbulk
after deseasonalization (-0.052±0.012 ‰ a−1),
indicating that the atmospheric N2O increase is due to isotopically
depleted N2O sources. We estimated the average isotopic signature of
anthropogenic N2O sources with a two-box model to be -8.6±0.6 ‰ for δ15Nbulk, 34.8±3 ‰ for δ18O and 10.7±4 ‰ for δ15NSP. Our study demonstrates
that seasonal variation of N2O isotopic composition in the background
atmosphere is important when determining interannual trends. More frequent,
high-precision and interlaboratory-compatible measurements of atmospheric
N2O isotopocules, especially for δ15NSP, are needed
to better constrain anthropogenic N2O sources and thus the
contribution of biogeochemical processes to N2O growth on the global
scale.

Abstract. Methane (CH4) atmospheric mixing ratio measurements are analyzed for the period between June 2013 and November 2018 at the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO). We describe the seasonal and diurnal patterns of nighttime events in which CH4 mixing ratios at the uppermost (79 m a.g.l.) inlet are significantly higher than the lowermost inlet (4 m a.g.l.) by 8 ppb or more. These nighttime events were found to be associated with a wind direction originating from the southeast and wind speeds between 2 and 5 m s−1. We found that these events happen under specific nighttime atmospheric conditions when compared to other nights, exhibiting less variable sensible heat flux, low net radiation and a strong thermal stratification above the canopy. Our analysis indicates that even at wind speeds of 5.8 m s−1 the turbulence intensity, given by the standard deviation of the vertical velocity, is suppressed to values lower than 0.3 m s−1. Given these findings, we suggest that these nighttime CH4 enhancements are advected from their source location by horizontal nonturbulent motions. The most likely source location is the Uatumã River, possibly influenced by dead stands of flooded forest trees that may be enhancing CH4 emissions from those areas. Finally, biomass burning and the Amazon River were discarded as potential CH4 sources.
On the interconnections among major climate modes and their common driving factors

Abstract. The variations in oceanic and atmospheric modes on various timescales play
important roles in generating global and regional climate variability. Many
efforts have been devoted to identifying the relationships between the
variations in climate modes and regional climate variability, but these have rarely
explored the interconnections among these climate modes. Here we use climate
indices to represent the variations in major climate modes and examine the
harmonic relationship among the driving forces of climate modes using slow
feature analysis (SFA) and wavelet analysis. We find that all of the
significant peak periods of driving-force signals in the climate indices can
be represented as harmonics of four base periods: 2.32, 3.90, 6.55,
and 11.02 years. We infer that the period of 2.32 years is associated with the
signal of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO). The periods of 3.90 and 6.55 years are linked to the intrinsic variability of the El Niño–Southern
Oscillation (ENSO), and the period of 11.02 years arises from the sunspot
cycle. Results suggest that the base periods and their harmonic oscillations
related to QBO, ENSO, and solar activities act as key connections among the
climatic modes with synchronous behaviors, highlighting the important roles
of these three oscillations in the variability of the Earth's climate.

Climate change overtakes coastal engineering as the dominant driver of hydrologic change in a large shallow lagoon

Abstract. Ecosystems in shallow, micro-tidal lagoons are particularly sensitive to hydrologic changes. Lagoons are also highly complex transitional ecosystems between land and sea, and the signals of direct human disturbance to the lagoon can be confounded by variability of the climate system, but from an effective estuary management perspective the effects of climate versus direct human engineering interventions need to be identified separately. Although many estuarine lagoons have undergone substantial human interventions, such as artificial channels, the effects from the interaction of climate change with engineering interventions have not been well evaluated. This study developed a 3D finite-volume hydrodynamic model to assess changes in hydrodynamics of the Peel-Harvey Estuary, a large chocked-type lagoon, considering how attributes such as water retention time, salinity and stratification have responded to a range of factors, focusing on the drying climate trend and the opening of a large artificial channel over the period from 1970 to 2016, and how they will evolve under current climate projections. The results show that the drying climate has fundamentally changed the hydrology by comparable magnitudes to that of the opening of the artificial channel, and also highlight the complexity of their interacting impacts. Firstly, the artificial channel successfully improved the estuary flushing by reducing average water ages by 20–110 days; while in contrast the reduced precipitation and catchment inflow had a gradual opposite effect on the water ages, and during the wet season this has almost counteracted the reduction brought about by the channel. Secondly, the drying climate caused an increase in the salinity of the lagoon by 10–30 PSU; whilst the artificial channel increased the salinity during the wet season, it has reduced the likelihood of hypersalinity (> 40 PSU) during the dry season in some areas. The impacts also varied spatially in this large lagoon. The southern estuary, which has the least connection with ocean through the natural channel, is the most sensitive to climate change and the opening of the artificial channel. The projected future drying climate is shown to slightly increase the retention time and salinity in the lagoon, and increase the hypersalinity risk in the rivers. The significance of these changes for nutrient retention and estuary ecology are discussed, highlighting the importance of these factors when setting up monitoring programs, environmental flow strategies and nutrient load reduction targets.

Abstract. This work focuses on the progress of space weather monitoring in Pakistan. Pakistan's first geomagnetic observatory was established in Quetta in 1953. However, the beginning of what we would now call space weather services on a formal level took place in 1971, when the national space agency, the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), established the country's first ionospheric station. Later, in 1983, a geomagnetic observatory was set up in Karachi with the aim of providing high frequency (HF) support and geomagnetic storm alerts to relevant users. With the progression of time, nations began to prioritize space weather monitoring to ensure the safety and security of technological assets. Therefore, it was considered imperative to upgrade the array of instruments in order to maintain the reliability of operations and the efficient utilization of data to contribute to research at local, regional and global scales. Pakistan has recently established a dedicated space weather monitoring facility known as the Pakistan Space Weather Centre (PSWC). This paper describes the historic evolution of space weather infrastructure in Pakistan and the current contribution of the PSWC.
