Abstract. Correct determination of the phase spectrum is a highly relevant task in Fourier Transform Spectrometry for concluding which spectral distribution connects with the measured interferogram. We present implementation of an improved scheme for phase determination in the operational Collaborative Carbon Column Observing Network (COCCON) processor. We introduce a robust unwrapping scheme for retrieving a connected phase spectrum at intermediate spectral resolution, which uses all spectral positions carrying enough signal to allow a significant determination of the phase. In the second step, we perform a least squares fit of model parameters of a suited analytical phase spectrum model through all reliable phase values constructed in the first step. The model fit exploits the fact that we expect the phase to be spectrally smooth. Still, it can be refined to reflect specific characteristics inherent to the optical and electronic layout of the interferometer. The proposed approach avoids the problems of the classical phase reconstruction method, which enforce a spectrally smooth phase by directly limiting spectral resolution when calculating the complex phase. Thereby, the phase is created from a very low number of interferogram points around the centerburst of the interferogram, which results in a suboptimal noise propagation from the interferogram into the spectral domain. Moreover, the interpolation of the phase spectrum across spectral subsections with reduced spectral signal is not well behaved and results depend strongly on the numerical apodization function used for creating the low-resolution phase.

Abstract. Physical and chemical properties of particulate matter and concentrations of trace gases were measured at an urban site in Helsinki, Finland for five-weeks to investigate the effect of wintertime conditions on pollutants. The measurement took place in a street canyon (Traffic Supersite) in January–February 2022. In addition, measurements were conducted in an urban background station (UB Supersite, SMEAR III, located approx. 0.9 km from the Traffic Supersite) and with a mobile laboratory in the adjacent side streets as well as by driving back and forth along the street along the Traffic Supersite. A source apportionment was performed for the SP-AMS measurements to identify organic factors connected to different particulate sources. Particle number concentration time series and the pollution detection algorithm (PDA) were used to compare local pollution level differences between the sites. During the campaign three different pollution events were observed with increased pollutant concentrations. The increased concentration during these episodes were due to both trapping of local pollutants near the boundary layer and long-range and regional transport of pollutants to Helsinki metropolitan area. The local road vehicle emissions increased the particle number concentrations, especially sub-10 nm particles, and long-range and regional transported aged particles increased the PM mass and particle size.
Spatio-temporal variations in surface Marine Carbonate System properties across the Western Mediterranean Sea using Volunteer Observing Ship data
Authors: Curbelo-Hernández David , González-Santana David , González-González Aridane , Santana-Casiano J. Magdalena , González-Dávila Melchor
Published: October 2024

Abstract. The surface physical and Marine Carbonate System (MCS) properties were assessed along the western boundary of the Mediterranean Sea. An unprecedent high-resolution observation-based dataset spanning 5 years (2019–2024) was built through automatically underway monitoring by a Volunteer Observing Ship (VOS). The MCS dynamics were strongly modulated by physical-biological coupling dependent on the upper-layer circulation and mesoscale features. On a seasonal scale, the variations in CO2 fugacity (fCO2,sw) were mainly driven by sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations (45–83 %) and partially offset by the processes controlling total inorganic carbon (CT) distribution (25–38 %). On an interannual scale, the SST trends (0.26–0.43 ºC yr-1) have accelerated by 78–88 % in comparison with previous decades. The ongoing surface warming was the main factor (with a contribution of ~76–92 %) increasing fCO2,sw (4.18 to 5.53 µatm yr-1) and, consequently, decreasing pH (-0.005 to -0.007 units yr-1) in the surface waters. The seasonal SST, becoming larger due to progressively warmer summers, was the primary driver of the observed slope up of interannual trends. The evaluation of the air-sea CO2 exchange shows the area across the Alboran Sea (14,000 Km2) and the eastern Iberian margin (40,000 Km2) acting as an atmospheric CO2 sink of -1.57 ± 0.49 mol m-2 yr-1 (0.97 ± 0.30 Tg CO2 yr-1) and -0.70 ± 0.54 mol m-2 yr-1 (-1.22 ± 0.95 Tg CO2 yr-1), respectively. The net annual CO2 sink has reduced by 40–80 % since 2019 due to the ongoing strength of the source status during summer and the weakening in the sink status during spring and autumn.

Electron-spin decoherence in trityl radicals in the absence and presence of microwave irradiation

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Trityl radicals feature prominently as polarizing agents in solid-state dynamic nuclear polarization experiments and as spin labels in distance distribution measurements by pulsed dipolar EPR spectroscopy techniques. Electron-spin coherence lifetime is a main determinant of performance in these applications. We show that protons in these radicals contribute substantially to decoherence, although the radicals were designed with the aim of reducing proton hyperfine interaction. By spin dynamics simulations, we can trace back the nearly complete Hahn echo decay for a Finland trityl radical variant within 7 μs to the contribution from tunnelling of the 36 methyl protons in the radical core. This contribution, as well as the contribution of methylene protons in OX063 and OX071 trityl radicals, to Hahn echo decay can be predicted rather well by the previously introduced analytical pair product approximation. In contrast, predicting decoherence of electron spins dressed by a microwave field proves to be a hard problem where correlations between more than two protons contribute substantially. Cluster correlation expansion (CCE) becomes borderline numerically unstable  already at order 3 at times comparable to the decoherence time T2ρ and cannot be applied at order 4. We introduce partial CCE that alleviates this problem and reduces computational effort at the expense of treating only part of the correlations at a particular order. Nevertheless, dressed-spin decoherence simulations for systems with more than 100 protons remain out of reach, whereas they provide only semi-quantitative predictions for 24 to 48 protons. Our experimental and simulation results indicate that solid-state magnetic resonance experiments with trityl radicals will profit from perdeuteration of the compounds.
Impact of stochastic physics on the representation of atmospheric blocking in EC-Earth3
Authors: Filippucci Michele , Bordoni Simona , Davini Paolo
Published: October 2024

Abstract. Atmospheric blocking is a synoptic-scale phenomenon that consists in an obstruction of the normal easterly progression of weather patterns in the midlatitudes, leading to persistent atmospheric conditions sometimes associated with extreme weather. State-of-the-art climate models systematically underestimate winter atmospheric-blocking frequency, especially over Europe. This is often attributed to a poor representation of small-scale processes that are fundamental for the onset and maintenance of blocking events. Here, we explore how the implementation of two stochastic parameterizations, namely the stochastically perturbed parameterization tendencies (SPPTs) and the stochastic kinetic energy backscatter (SKEB) schemes, influences the representation of Northern Hemisphere winter blocking in EC-Earth3. We show that the activation of the two stochastic schemes has moderate detrimental effects on blocking representation, when assessed through a gradient reversal index. Using a zonal–blocked flow linear decomposition, we attribute such modification to changes in the mean winter atmospheric circulation, primarily manifested in a strengthening of the midlatitude jet stream and an intensification of the Hadley cell. Ultimately, an analysis of the meridional transport of zonal momentum by stationary and transient eddies reveals that these circulation differences arise from changes in tropical stationary-eddy activity. Our findings reconnect with earlier literature on similar experiments and suggest that the activation of stochastic parameterizations may require a retuning of the model to account for the resulting significant changes in the mean atmospheric circulation.
Impact of a two-dimensional steep hill on wind turbine noise propagation

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Wind turbine noise propagation in a hilly terrain is studied through numerical simulation in different scenarios. Linearized Euler equations are solved in a moving frame that follows the wavefront, and wind turbine noise is modeled with an extended moving source. We employ large-eddy simulations to simulate the flow around the hill and the wind turbine. The sound pressure levels (SPLs) obtained for a wind turbine in front of a 2D hill and a wind turbine on a hilltop are compared to a baseline flat case. First, the source height and wind speed strongly affect sound propagation downwind. We find that topography influences the wake shape, inducing changes in the sound propagation that drastically modify the SPL downwind. Placing the turbine on the hilltop increases the average sound pressure level and amplitude modulation downwind. For the wind turbine placed upstream of a hill, a strong shielding effect is observed. But, because of the refraction by the wind gradient, levels are comparable with the baseline flat case just after the hill. Thus, considering how terrain topography alters the flow and wind turbine wake is essential to accurately predict wind turbine noise propagation.
La collaboration en ligne mise en œuvre par les étudiants : des contextes distincts et de possibles plus-values en termes de découvertes collectives ?
Authors: Baudrit Alain
Published: October 2024

Les étudiants ont la possibilité de mobiliser différents outils numériques à des fins de collaboration notamment lorsqu’ils se livrent à des activités de recherche ou à des investigations. Mais ces outils peuvent s’inscrire dans des contextes distincts, officiel ou officieux, en fonction de ceux qui sont utilisés. D’où l’intérêt d’examiner les processus interactifs à l’œuvre dans les deux cas, tout comme le passage progressif de l’un à l’autre est de nature à expliquer pourquoi les acteurs prennent quelque distance par rapport aux instances officielles pour travailler ensemble. Il est alors fait l’hypothèse qu’une telle transition est apte à donner à l’activité collective une dimension heuristique, notamment une propension à la découverte. Dans cet article, elle est mise à l’épreuve à l’appui d’un champ théorique (Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning) et de données (qualitatives/quantitatives) issues de travaux récents, sachant qu’un autre facteur (la taille des groupes constitués par les étudiants) paraît jouer un rôle non négligeable dans cette affaire.

Published: October 2024

This study is about ‘documentation’ for promoting professionalism of infant class teachers. This study examined professionalism of teachers connected to documentation by analyzing journals and observation log prepared by teachers that documented daily life of infants. For the foregoing research, this study collected documentation in regards to daily life of infant classes of national and public day care centers from March through December 2023. A method of qualitative research was applied and the result was categorized as record that leads to ‘observe’, record that arouses ‘concern’ and ‘introspection’ and ‘keeping documentation’ through sympathy and support. Infant class teachers solve concerns about support for daily life by y taking another look at from the infants’ point of view and forming a bond of sympathy through documentation. Experience that observes maladjustment of infants to daycare centers with sympathy and wait was indebted to documentation that leads teachers to observe and wait. Teachers who participated in the research were able to discover one’s fixed idea by looking back on the documentation and experienced emotional care that is professionalism of infant class teachers. Examining the documentation, directors acknowledged that support for daily life of infants and qualification of teachers to respect and encourage infants is related to professionalism. This study is considered significant as it proves that documentation is an important educational behavior that leads professionalism of infant class teachers.

Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating effect of social competence in the structural relationship between child's play interactions and social competence, language and literacy, and mathematical thinking. For this purpose, data from the 7th year of the Korean Child Panel(2014) provided by the Korea Institute for Childcare Policy(KICE) were used, and a total of 667 young children and their classroom teachers were analyzed. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory factor analysis, structural model analysis, and path analysis were conducted using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 22.0. The results of this study are as follows. First, children's play interactions had an effect on language and literacy, but not on mathematical thinking. Second, children's play interactions had a statistically positive effect on social competence. Third, children's social competence had a statistically positive effect on language, literacy, and mathematical thinking. Fourth, social competence was found to partially mediate the relationship between children's play interactions and language and literacy skills, and social competence was found to fully mediate the relationship between children's play interactions and mathematical thinking.

Published: October 2024

To systematize our gained experience that can support creating good practices for initiating the dialogue with the family regarding organ and tissue donation in the Republic of Moldova. A retrospective study, conducted within the PMSI “Sfinta Treime” MCH, between March 2014 and September 2021, that included a review of the discussions with 89 families who experienced an interview for organ and tissue donation, as a result of which 61 of them gave their consent. Thematic content analysis was used for data analysis. Three stages of the interview have been identified: 1st - acknowledgement of the death news, which shows the need to know the history of the disease and the treatment of deceased patients; 2nd - the stage of emotional support to the family of the deceased (mourning); 3rd - information about the donation with the request for organ/tissue donation. Professionals need to know the stages of the donation process and to respect the timespan given to families. Our experience indicates the need for team training, family respect, determined by the emotional support and extended time given to the family, with the use of a clear and simple language.
Maternal complications associated with multiple cesarean sections
Authors: Potacevschi Oleg
Published: October 2024

The incidence of primary and repeat cesarean sections (CS) is increasing worldwide. Globally, the incidence of CS has increased steadily from 6.7% in 1990 to 19.1% in 2014. The frequency of CS varies greatly across countries, and rates >50% for primary CS and >88 % for repeated CS. Consequently, there is a significant increase in higher-order cesarean sections with the association of severe complications. According to the statistical data of the Public Medical-Sanitary Institution Municipal Clinical Hospital „Gheorghe Paladi”, the number of total births decreased from 8330 in 2010 to 6685 in 2020. However, CS rates are increasing: from 14.3% in 2010 to 19.4% in 2020 for primary CSs and from 25.3% to 39.9%, respectively, for repeated CSs. The risk of rare but potentially serious maternal complications, such as visceral injury, hemorrhage, abnormal placentation, hysterectomy, or severe adhesions, increases significantly with the number of repeated CSs. About 9% of women undergoing multiple CSs experience major complications and about 1% require hysterectomy, most commonly as a result of abnormal placentation. There is no absolutely clear threshold for a safe number of CSs, but 4 or more cesarean deliveries represent a critical level for substantially increasing the frequency of major complications. Further clinical trials are needed to evaluate not only the effects of surgical techniques and intraoperative management in women with multiple CSs, but also to investigate perioperative and long-term morbidity.

Financing of the health protection system from the Republic of Moldova in the previous period of the COVID-19 epidemic
Authors: Serbulenco Aliona , Zarbailov Natalia
Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 epidemic demonstrated the solvency of health systems in different countries and highlighted weaknesses in a crisis. Now, in the Republic of Moldova, the problems have been overcome with the help of the international community, but the need for a general review of the structure and functionality of the health system, through the lens of preparation for other possible public health emergencies, is indisputable. The description of the financing flow of the health system elucidated the elements, which require discussion and changes, which have not taken place to date, regarding the routine activity of the health system. We can conclude that the health system is not fully oriented to the real needs of the population and there are no applicable mechanisms for calculating the subtleties necessary for health protection.

Published: October 2024

Anxiety and depressive disorders are the most common psychiatric comorbidities in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and have more than three-fold increased odds compared to healthy subjects. The COVID-19 pandemic affects significant psycho-emotional state in general population. The aim of the study was to evaluate the grade of anxiety and depression in patients with IBS, IBD and those with Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) during the Covid-19 pandemic. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale were used to assess anxiety and depression respectively. A total of 30 IBS, 30 IBD and 30 CDI patients were randomly enrolled in this study. Depression was significantly more common in the IBS and CDI groups than in the IBD group (86.7%, 86,7% and 56.7% respectively, p=0,007). All patients of all study groups had both subtypes of anxiety of varying degrees. Severe state anxiety was found slightly more frequent in the IBS group than in the IBD and CDI groups (60.0%, 46.7% and 36.7%, respectively; p=0,192). Trait anxiety was even more frequent and severe than state anxiety. In conclusion, the level of depression and anxiety becomes extremely high in patients with IBS, IBD and CDI in stressful threatening social conditions, and these patients require appropriate diagnosis and treatment

Hyperfunctions of the Revival Text. On the Beginnings of the Modern Bulgarian Literary Language
Authors: Milanov Vladislav
Published: October 2024

This article is dedicated to the specificity of messages in texts from the Bulgarian National Revival period. The aim is to trace the complex relationship between content and speech in Revival texts. The paper presents current reflections related to the beginnings of the modern Bulgarian literary language, supporting a scientific hypothesis that has gained popularity in recent years. This hypothesis posits that the periodization of the modern Bulgarian literary language cannot be understood through the simple relationship of „from - to“ but must be entirely aligned with the dynamics of linguistic processes in their complex competition. At this stage, the idea of unfolding the reality of Revival texts through the lens of the relationship between the center and the periphery is proposed, with the emphasis being that, in view of the linguistic picture of the world, the boundaries between the two are not as clearly defined and tend to blur.

Authors: Krasteva Desislava
Published: October 2024

The article examines the problem of perceiving and making sense of a literary text, using interdisciplinary connections for this purpose. A brief retrospective analysis is introduced, then the relevance of the problem is emphasized. The methodology of the research is presented with the survey conducted among teachers from the initial stage of the basic level of education and conclusions from the two components are drawn. The survey is entirely online. It is based on two criteria with corresponding co-indicators to them. It includes questions about the perception and understanding of literary text by students in the elementary stage, as well as the use of intersubject connections by teachers - opinions about their usefulness, examples of their application and achieving the motivation of students for the learning process; as well as the strategies used to improve skills, the difficulties students encounter, and the joint activities with parents.

Roupas que ficam guardadas na memória: sobre as relações entre vestir, sentir, lembrar e narrar
Authors: Espindola Clara Calazans
Published: October 2024

Este artigo discute a forma como as pessoas se relacionam com suas roupas, no cotidiano e na memória, a partir de entrevistas com 46 jovens. Primeiro, aborda-se o poder das roupas de provocar sentimentos de segurança e insegurança, decorrente da sua eficácia na externalização da percepção sobre nossa identidade. Em seguida, trazendo à tona as redes de sociabilidade ao redor das roupas, enfatiza-se que elas ora marcam o espaço da singularidade, ora expressam e constroem vínculos sociais. A capacidade das roupas de sobreviverem ao tempo, carregando marcas de seus donos, faz com que compartilhá-las seja uma forma de materializar vínculos afetivos, e mostrar-se disposto a borrar a fronteira entre os corpos. Por fim, aborda-se a capacidade das roupas de carregar e evocar lembranças, e se perpetuar na memória, de modo que falar sobre elas é um caminho por meio do qual podemos interpretar retrospectivamente nossa própria vida e identidade.

Authors: Coelho Thassiana Lacerda , Magnago Luiz Fernando Silva , Mesquita Ricardo Gabriel Almeida , Valle Mara Lúcia Agostini
Published: October 2024

Understanding wood properties is crucial for optimizing its technological potential, enhancing both the effectiveness of use and product quality. Among these properties, density is regarded as one of the most significant. Numerous studies have documented the relationship between wood density and climate. However, the influence of climatic factors on the density variation of native species remains largely unexplored. Cedrela odorata L., a species traditionally logged in Brazil and widely distributed across the Neotropical region, requires further analysis to understand its potential response to varying climate patterns, thereby informing its management. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the basic density of Cedrela odorata L. and the climatic conditions in the Neotropical region. A comprehensive database was compiled from published scientific literature. Statistical analyses were conducted using Generalized Linear Models (GLM), with the best models selected based on the corrected Akaike Information Criterion (AICc). The presence of spatial patterns was assessed using Moran’s Index to verify spatial autocorrelation. The study identified significant relationships between the wood density of C. odorata and variables such as mean annual temperature and annual precipitation. The findings indicate a strong interaction between the climatic variables analyzed and the basic density of Cedrela odorata L. wood, with density being more sensitive to mean annual temperature.
BIOMASS, STORED CARBON, AND CO2 REMOVED IN A Humiriastrum procerum LITTLE FOREST IN CHOCÓ, COLOMBIA
Authors: Serna Mosquera Yessika Biasney , González Forero Rosalina
Published: October 2024

Forest harvest biomass is a material originating from silvicultural procedures that can be quantified, managed, and utilized. This study aimed to evaluate the biomass, stored carbon, and CO2 removed by Humiriastrum procerum through its utilization in San Francisco de Ichó, in Quibdó, Chocó. For this purpose, a 2 Ha exploitation area with 10 subplots of 40 x 50m was established. The biomass, stored carbon, and CO2 removed were calculated from the harvested material. Biomass for blocks generated 10.73 t ha-1, and 27.38 t ha-1 in residues. Carbon in blocks generated 5.36 t ha-1, and 13.79 t ha-1 in residues, while CO2 removed in blocks generated 19.62 t ha-1 and 50.11 t ha-1 in residues. The presence of Humiriastrum procerum in the ecosystem shows a high volume of biomass and carbon in the products obtained (blocks), as well as in branch residues, offcuts, and small branches. It also removed high amounts of CO2, thus mitigating climate change, which should be of interest for its management and conservation.

Doing Labour Management Research is Not Easy: A Methodological, Experiential and Emotional Note
Authors: Annavajhula J.C. Bose
Published: October 2024

Despite the primacy of labour in life, mainstream scholars in economics and other disciplines have looked down upon labour studies as a peripheral subject and labour researchers as those who are kind of too mentally retarded to pursue top-end intellectual labour, but is doing labour research easy? In this note, we point out the hellish experience we had gone through in conducting a research project on mapping labour relations, in the fieldwork tradition, in an automobile production chain in Northern India.
