ПОЛІТИЧНІ ЯРЛИКИ У ПРЕЦЕДЕНТНОМУ ТЕЗАУРУСІ УКРАЇНСЬКОМОВНОГО ПОЛІТИЧНОГО ДИСКУРСУ
Authors: Соловйова Т. О.
Published: May 2023

У статті порушено проблему функціонування політичних ярликів у політичному дискурсі та правомірність їх уналежнення до тезаурусу прецедентних феноменів. Окреслено теоретичний аспект вивчення цих одиниць в українській та зарубіжній традиції, знайдено ґрунтовні відмінності у змістовно-генетичній основі політичних ярликів українського та євроатлантичного політичного простору. Виявлено тенденції активного використання політичних ярликів як в усному, так і в писемному українському політичному мовленні, що зумовлено їх потужним емоційно-оцінним навантаженням і відносно компактною формою. Водночас підтверджено, що політичний дискурс активно продукував і продовжує продукувати одиниці подібного типу. Розглянуто питання можливості трактування політичних ярликів як різновиду прецедентних імен у межах лінгвокогнітивної політичної бази, незважаючи на певні відмінності цих одиниць. У роботі репрезентовано результати аналізу політичних ярликів сучасного українськомовного політичного дискурсу. Увагу акцентовано на генетичних, змістовних, емоційно-стилістичних, оцінних та формальних характеристиках. Досліджено схильність політичних ярликів до трансформацій їх змістовної, експресивної складової протягом певного політичного періоду, тяжіння їх до агресивної, інвективної номінації. Продемонстровано деякі приклади взаємодії співзвучних прецедентних одиниць різного часу походження та злиття їх смислів у результаті подальшого функціонування у політичному дискурсі. Отримані результати дають змогу робити висновки про певні тенденції творення політичних ярликів в українськомовному політичному просторі, що стосуються похідного базису і закодованих смислів. Ці тенденції особливо помітні в процесі утворення досліджуваних одиниць від подібних за природою похідних об’єктів конотації (політичних партій, політичних персоналій, груп їх прихильників).
ХУДОЖНЬО-ЕСТЕТИЧНІ OСОБЛИВОСТІ РОМАНУ «ДЕВІД КОППЕРФІЛД» Ч. ДІККЕНСА ТА ПОВІСТІ «ХУДОЖНИК» Т. ШЕВЧЕНКА КРІЗЬ ПРИЗМУ АВТОБІОГРАФІЗМУ: ТИПОЛОГІЧНО-КОМПАРАТИВНИЙ АСПЕКТ

У дослідженні представлено спробу з’ясувати застосування автобіографічних чи частково автобіографічних аспектів у повісті «Художник» Тараса Шевченка та романі «Девід Копперфілд» Чарлза Діккенса. Методологічною основою дослідження слугує типологічно-порівняльний та історичний методи, адже встановлення міжлітературних зв’язків і дослідження типологічних особливостей у контексті світової літератури належить до царини компаративістики. Слід зазначити, що ця галузь літературознавства фактично дає змогу наблизити національну українську літературу до світових естетичних стандартів, щоразу демонструючи, що її розвиток не відбувався в ізольованих умовах, а згідно із тенденціями світового літературознавчого поступу, ввібравши у себе етичні, мистецькі цінності поряд з надбаннями прогресивної філософської думки. Англійський романіст і український прозаїк та поет були речниками своєї епохи та суспільства і створили художньо трансформовану, однак узагальнено типізовану картину. Метою цієї розвідки слугує встановлення типологічно-компаративних спільностей та відмінностей повісті «Художник» Тараса Шевченка та роману «Девід Копперфілд» Чарльза Діккенса. Здійснений аналіз допоміг з’ясувати, що обидва твори типологічно демонструють наявність концепції особистості та лінійного біографічного принципу композиції, але хронологічні рамки українського та англійського творів різні, їх вибір залежить від головної ідеї. Досліджено, що в обох прозових творах крізь призму особистого болісного досвіду автобіографічного героя розкривають найактуальніші політичні проблеми сучасної України та Англії. Звісно, Т. Шевченко не копіював твори чи образи Ч. Діккенса, але ми можемо провести паралелі та аналогії у виборі сюжетів у літературних творах обох письменників, тому це може бути доречним матеріалом для типологічного порівняння. Літературна спадщина Т. Шевченка зазнала опосередкованого впливу творчості Ч. Діккенса, але безсумнівним є факт наявності певної типологічної подібності у літературних творах, що зіставляються, зумовлених спільними соціально-істоpичними, художньо-естетичними чинниками світової художньої перспективи.
МЕТАФОРИЧНА КОНЦЕПТУАЛІЗАЦІЯ ВІЙНИ В АМЕРИКАНСЬКОМУ МЕДІАДИСКУРСІ (НА МАТЕРІАЛІ СТАТЕЙ ПРО РОСІЙСЬКО-УКРАЇНСЬКУ ВІЙНУ)
Authors: Ницполь В. І.
Published: May 2023

Статтю присвячено дослідженню метафоричної концептуалізації війни в американському медіадискурсі. Концептуальна метафора є важливою ланкою в галузі когнітивної лінгвістики, оскільки вона дає змогу зрозуміти те, як люди сприймають світ, через їхні висловлювання. Уже більше року світові видання приділяють велику увагу російсько-українській війні, тому необхідно проаналізувати те, як ця війна висвітлюється в засобах масової інформації. Матеріалом дослідження слугували статті, присвячені проблемі російсько-української війни, у таких популярних американських інтернет-виданнях, як “The Washington Post”, “The New York Times” та “The USA Today”. Методологічною базою для практичного аналізу стала теорія концептуальної метафори (Дж. Лакофф, М. Джонсон). Як провідні методи дослідження були використані концептуальний аналіз, компонентний аналіз та моделювання (коли різні моделі були розроблені у вигляді концептуальних метафор, де одне поняття розкривалося через певну ознаку іншого). У статті систематизовано теоретичну базу досліджень концептуальних метафор на основі праць відомих зарубіжних та українських мовознавців, а також розглянуто класифікації концептуальних метафор. Проаналізовано метафоричну концептуалізацію російсько-української війни в американському медійному просторі та виявлено, що найпродуктивнішими є структурні метафори, серед яких – WAR IS CRIME, WAR IS DAMAGE, WAR IS ECONOMY, WAR IS A LIE, WAR IS HUNGER, WAR IS A GAME, WAR IS THEATRE, WAR IS A DISEASE, WAR IS A ROAD та WAR IS COMMUNICATION. Виокремлено також онтологічну метафору WAR IS A CONTAINER, що вказує на обмеженість війни, та орієнтаційну UKRAINE IS UP AND RUSSIA IS DOWN, яка свідчить про те, що на просторовій осі Україна стоїть вище, ніж росія.
HATRED DURING THE WAR: A SOCIOLOGICAL ASPECT
Authors: Kataiev S. , Zoska Ya.
Published: May 2023

The purpose of the study is to analyze the ressentiment in the theoretical and specific historical aspects of the modern Russian-Ukrainian war.

Research methodology. The methods of the study are theoretical analysis and synthesis, sociological conceptualization of the phenomenon of hatred during the war.

Results. The result of the study is a generalization from the standpoint of sociology of hatred during the war. The article analyzes hatred towards the enemy during the war.

In sociological discourse, hatred is considered a component of ressentiment in the context of Max Scheler’s interpretation of this phenomenon. It is commonly believed that hatred towards the invading enemy, who is trying to destroy the country, is a manifestation of high morality and an additional motive for resistance. Hatred from the invader and aggressor is a manifestation of immorality and a low spiritual level. Ressentiment is self-poisoning of the soul. The press spreads ressentiment to strengthen the psychological component of war. Hatred irradiates all sides of the relationship. Everything that represents the hatred subject (clothes, speech, and anything else that is associated with this subject) also causes hatred.

The ressentiment type looks for reasons for aggression in everything. Revenge and hatred lead to the devaluation of existence and the world. What is more, hatred is not caused by the object’s properties but by the very negation and devaluation of existence and the essence of the relationship’s object.

Under the influence of ressentiment, a destructive position is formed. That is, reconciliation is impossible when there is ressentiment. The very fact of the enemy’s existence causes a desire to destroy them.

Russians have a radically erroneous picture of the world, which they do not want to change but are maniacally eager to follow. Their actions are influenced by an erroneous definition of the situation, which is realistic in its disastrous consequences.

Novelty. The article analyzes the ressentiment in the theoretical and specific historical aspects of the modern Russian-Ukrainian war.

The practical significance of the study is in the use of the formulated provisions to develop a concept of the ideological and political component of Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Key words: war, Ukraine, Russia, hatred, ressentiment, Max Scheler, social madness.

The purpose of the study is to identify gender issues in women’s esports in Ukraine and around the world, as well as develop ways to solve them.

Research methodology. The study used general scientific methods of cognition. The current state of the global and Ukrainian esports industry is analyzed using the method of critical analysis. In the process of synthesizing information, the gender problems of women’s esports are identified. Recommendations for solving these problems are developed using the methods of induction and deduction.

Results. The study solved a number of tasks: the concept of «esports», popular genres, and features of esports competitions were defined; the current state of the global and Ukrainian esports industry was analyzed; gender problems in women’s esports were identified, and ways to solve them were proposed.

Esports is becoming increasingly popular among women. The trend towards an increase in the number of female gamers is confirmed by many international and Ukrainian studies. Nevertheless, the representation of women in esports competitions is insufficient, due to gender issues such as gender discrimination, lack of role models, harassment of women, low earnings compared to men, non-perception as a target group of the gaming industry, and insufficient coverage of the gender discrimination problem in the media. Resolving the gender issues of women's esports and expanding opportunities for women in the gaming industry requires strengthening their role in esports, providing support and resources on an equal footing with men, revising the amount of the prize pool, and developing gender competence in educational institutions.

The scientific novelty of the results is the developed recommendations aimed at solving gender problems in women’s esports and empowering women in the gaming industry of Ukraine and the world.

The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the results obtained by Ukrainian esports organizations to solve gender problems in women’s esports.

Investigation of micro-shock waves in a planar magnetogasdynamic flow using the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method
Authors: Gallottini Alberto , Könözsy László
Published: May 2023

The present work focuses on the numerical investigation of micro-shock wave propagation in a two-dimensional magnetogasdynamic flow in the framework of the Dis- continuous Galerkin-Finite Element Method (DG-FEM). The Lorentz force has been im- plemented in the compressible, viscous Navier–Stokes equations as a source term using first-order spatial and fourth-order temporal Runge–Kutta discretization schemes. To in- vestigate the effect of the electrical conductivity on the micro-shock wave propagation, a two-dimensional micro-shock channel problem with hydraulic diameter of 2.5 mm, length of 82 mm, and no-slip boundary conditions at the left and at the right wall is considered as a benchmark problem. In this case, acoustic waves are generated behind after the rupture of the membrane that separates two states of the same gas originally at different pressure and density and both initially at rest. The magnetic field is taken into account as uniform and stationary throughout the microchannel, and the numerical simulations are performed in a short physical time, before the reflection of the waves on the lateral wall. A detailed parametric study of the temperature, density, pressure, and u-velocity is carried out by a variation of the electrical conductivity of the magnetogasdynamic flow, under the assumption of low magnetic Reynolds numbers. It has been found that the jumps of the acoustic waves become significantly intensified when the electrical conductivity of the gas is increased. It has also been observed that the presence of the Lorentz force causes an acceleration in the gasflow towards the outlet section of the microchannel at the low Knudsen number of 0.05. The outcome of this research work could be relevant to biomedical applications where the ability to control the flow in a microchannel has a significant impact on the development of small devices aimed to deliver pharmaceutical drugs in specific locations.

Evaluation of Association Between Infection of Endodontic Origin, Their Management and Systemic Health: A Narrative Literature Review
Authors: Sindi Abdulelah Sameer
Published: May 2023

Objective: The most common dental condition is root canal infection. A focal infection is a localised or widespread infection that is caused by the systemic spread of microbes or their metabolites from one or more different foci of infection. A focus of infection, which is described as "a restricted area that is continuously infected with hazardous bacteria," may exist everywhere in the body. In the literature on medicine and dentistry, the tonsils, adenoids, oral tissues, and other structures have all been considered as potential infection sites. This review will evaluate the current research on the dynamic relationships between infections of endodontic origin, endodontic therapy, and overall health in light of new information that has since come to light.
Methods and materials: A comprehensive search was conducted for all non-grey literature published using the online platforms PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scopus, web of sciences. To make sure that all pertinent studies were found, the succeeding search keywords were applied.: “endodontic infections”, “systemic conditions”, “management”, “apical periodontitis”, “diabetes”, “hypertension”. Furthermore, all appropriate scientific papers on role of endodontic infections and their management in different systemic diseases were included. 18 articles were included in the review.
Results: Articles showed that the advancement and progression of CVDs have been linked to higher concentrations of inflammatory markers in individuals with periodontitis at root apex, according to a number of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Persistent periodontitis at root apex may influence the onset and development of atherosclerosis through a number of different possible mechanisms. The literature provides significant support for the notion that people with DM had higher rates of apical periodontitis, larger periapical lesions, and more periapical infections than patients without diabetes.
Conclusion: There is growing evidence that prolonged apical periodontitis-related bacteraemia and reduced inflammatory cytokines may have a deleterious impact on systemic health, including CVD development, autoimmune disorders, and diabetic metabolic dysregulation.

Introductions: The median nerve's occasional or persistent compression or entrapment in the carpal tunnel from the wrist to the hand causes carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The main symptoms are pain, tingling, swelling, and loss of grip strength and function in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and thumb of thumb. This study examined Saudi adults' awareness and understanding of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and its link with demographics and chronic conditions.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study examined adults' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding carpal tunnel syndrome from 2021 to 2022 in different Saudi Arabian regions. This study used a researcher-created questionnaire. In the awareness category, general public questions included CTS clinical aspects, etiology, and effects on daily life. Practice questions covered CTS preventive and chronic diseases. Volunteers were selected following informed consent.
Result: 420 participants aged 34.8 ± 13.49 years. 280 (66.6%) were male, 140 (33.3%) females. 38 (9.04%) were non-Saudi workers, while 384 were Saudis. 235 (55.9%) individuals knew about wrist CTS and 161 (38.3%) about pain. 157 (37.3%) individuals experienced thumb tingling or numbness, while 117 and 142 agreed that CTS may produce thumb weakness (27.8%) and hand grip (35.2%). The older age group reported more thumb numbness or tingling than the other groups, although there was no statistical difference (p= 0.09). CTS was not associated with chronic disease; however, diabetes was the main comorbidity in all age groups (44; 45.3%), especially in the middle age group (21; 60%). 5.4% had CTS. CTS was rare during pregnancy (0.7%), however all age groups agreed that it could influence their employment and social life (p= 0.014 and < 0.00001). The average knowledge score was 43.3 ± 40.5, whereas the awareness score was 50.1 ± 44.2. These findings indicate that Saudis were aware of CTS clinical symptoms.
Conclusion: The study examined Saudi adults' awareness and understanding of CTS and estimated the association between CTS and demographics and chronic conditions. The study found that adult CTS awareness and knowledge were sufficient and associated with age and quality of life. CTS awareness campaigns may lower risk and raise knowledge of prevention and treatment. People who work with discomfort or use computers for long periods of time without breaks are more prone to develop CTS. Larger research is needed to understand how physical exercise causes CTS.

Paleomagnetic studies of Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks in the Eastern Qiangtang Terrane, Tibetan Plateau, China
Authors:   , Fu Qiang
Published: May 2023

This thesis presents research on the paleogeographic data of Early Cretaceous granites and Mid-Late Jurassic limestones in the Zaduo area, Eastern Qiangtang Terrane, Tibetan Plateau, China. The granite study provides further insight into the Lhasa-Qiangtang collision, while the limestones have been remagnetized due to the India-Eurasia collision. The magnetic fabric of the remagnetized limestones documented the NNE-SSW oriented compression during the remagnetization. A comparative study of the remagnetized and unremagnetized rocks, which mainly concentrates on their rock magnetic properties, was also carried out. The combination of gravity and paleomagnetic data reveals a coupled lithosphere-scale oroclinal deformation of the eastern ending of the Qiangtang Terrane. The thesis consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 investigates an Early Cretaceous granite in the Zaduo area and presents a new paleomagnetic investigation on the granite. Chapter 2 discusses the remagnetization of the Jurassic limestones in the Zaduo area and its implications for the India-Eurasia collision. Chapter 3 is about the lithosphere-scale oroclinal deformation of the eastern ending of the Qiangtang Terrane. Chapter 4 focuses on the remagnetization of the limestones and the NNE-SSW oriented compression during the India-Eurasia collision, and Chapter 5 is about the comparative study of the remagnetized and unremagnetized rocks.
From Einstein to Einstein Telescope: From Testing Predictions to Addressing Future Challenges
Authors:   , Janquart Justin
Published: May 2023

Cataclysmic events such as the merger of black holes and neutron stars can lead to the emission of gravitational waves. Since 2015, around a hundred such signals have been detected. As the detectors are upgraded, more signals will be detected, opening the door to new scientific avenues.
One such avenue is the strong lensing of gravitational waves, where the presence of a massive object along the wave’s trajectory leads to it being split into several images with the same frequency evolution. In this thesis, we demonstrate a new and faster method to search for and analyze such lensed signals. In addition, we show two different avenues to decrease the high false-alarm probability related to lensing searches. One uses higher-order modes to identify signatures intrinsic to lensed gravitational-wave signals. The other consists of including the expected distribution for the lensing parameters in the detection statistic, effectively reducing the false alarm.
Besides lensing, upgraded detectors also offer the possibility to accumulate information about the signal earlier before the merger. This is important when one wants to jointly analyze gravitational wave and electromagnetic data for binary neutron star signals. In this thesis, we exploit machine-learning-based techniques to set up an early alert system able to issue alerts up to a minute and a half before the merger happens. In parallel, we develop a system to rapidly generate sky maps for detected signals. Even if they are currently at the stage of proof-of-concept, joining these two approaches could make for the first full machine-learning-based early-alert system.
In addition to upgrading the existing detectors, the next generation of ground-based detectors is already planned. These detectors should see many more events and have an increased sensitive band, making for long signals. Therefore, signals could start overlapping. In this thesis, we establish that overlaps will be common for these detectors. Then, we study their impact on data analysis and establish that, in some cases, not accounting for the overlapping signals can lead to erroneous results. This motivates the development of new analysis techniques able to deal with this observation scenario. In this thesis, we suggest two different methods: hierarchical subtraction and joint parameter estimation. The first is faster than the second but more keen on biases due to the overlapping signals. An issue with these methods is their speed as they would be unable to keep up the pace with the expected detection rate. Therefore, in this thesis, we also explore the possibility to analyze overlapping signals using machine learning techniques. While slightly less precise, our method is able to analyze overlapped binary black hole signals in about a second, compared to 20 to 30 days for Bayesian methods. Further upgrades to our framework should make it able to analyze joint signals, opening the door to more precise simulation studies for next-generation detectors.

The problem proposed by the Tecumseh company consists in applying the Topology Optimization (TO) methodology to improve the performance of an electromagnetic device. For convenience, this study focuses on modeling and developing numerical tools to optimize the core topology of an Electromagnetic Actuator (EA). The strategy is based on a TO framework that considers the magneto-static problem that governs the EA. The developed codes are written in Python and use the open-source library FEniCS to solve the Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), via the Finite Element Method (FEM), and the Method of Moving Asymptotes (MMA) algorithm as the optimizer.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is assembled by hundreds of proteins orchestrating tissue patterning and surrounding cell fates via the mechanical–biochemical feedback loop. Aberrant ECM protein production or assembly usually creates pathological niches eliciting lesions that mainly involve fibrogenesis and carcinogenesis. Yet, our current knowledge about the pathophysiological ECM compositions and alterations in healthy or diseased tissues is limited since the methodology for precise insoluble matrisome coverage in the ECM is a “bottleneck.” Our current study proposes an enhanced sodium dodecyl sulfonate (E-SDS) workflow for thorough tissue decellularization and an intact pipeline for the accurate identification and quantification of highly insoluble ECM matrisome proteins. We tested this pipeline in nine mouse organs and highlighted the full landscape of insoluble matrisome proteins in the decellularized ECM (dECM) scaffolds. Typical experimental validations and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis confirmed very little contamination of cellular debris remaining in the dECM scaffolds. Our current study will provide a low-cost, simple, reliable, and effective pipeline for tissue insoluble matrisome analysis in the quest to comprehend ECM discovery proteomic studies.

Imatinib (IMB), an anticancer drug, is extensively used for chemotherapy to improve the quality of life of cancer patients. The aim of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is to guide and evaluate the medicinal therapy, and then optimize the clinical effect of individual dosing regimens. In this work, a highly sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor based on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with acetylene black (AB) and a Cu (II) metal organic framework (CuMOF) was developed to measure the concentration of IMB. CuMOF with preferable adsorbability and AB with excellent electrical conductivity functioned cooperatively to enhance the analytical determination of IMB. The modified electrodes were characterized using X-rays diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS), brunauer‒emmett‒teller (BET) and barrett‒joyner‒halenda (BJH) techniques. Analytical parameters such as the ratio of CuMOF to AB, dropping volumes, pH, scanning rate and accumulation time were investigated through cyclic voltammetry (CV). Under optimal conditions, the sensor exhibited an excellent electrocatalytic response for IMB detection, and two linear detection ranges were obatined of 2.5 nM-1.0 μM and 1.0–6.0 μM with a detection limit (DL) of 1.7 nM (S/N = 3). Finally, the good electroanalytical ability of CuMOF-AB/GCE sensor facilitated the successful determination of IMB in human serum samples. Due to its acceptable selectivity, repeatability and long-term stability, this sensor shows promising application prospects in the detection of IMB in clinical samples.

A mixed lanthanide organic framework was prepared via hydrothermal methods using m-phthalic acid (m-H2BDC), 1,10-phenanthroline (1,10-Phen), and Ln3+ ions, formulated as [HNMe2][Eu0.095Tb1.905(m-BDC)3(phen)2] (ZTU-6). The structure and stability of ZTU-6 were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which revealed a three-dimensional pcu topology with high thermal stability. Fluorescence tests showed that ZTU-6 emitted orange light with a high quantum yield of 79.15%, and it can be effectively encapsulated in a light-emitting diode (LED) device emitting orange light. In addition, ZTU-6 was found to be compatible with BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ (BAM) blue powder and [(Sr,Ba)2SiO4:Eu2+] silicate yellow and green powder to create a warm white LED with a high colour rendering index (CRI) of 93.4, a correlated colour temperature (CCT) of 3908 K, and CIE coordinates of (0.38, 036).

Published: May 2023

Introduction

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of the arch is challenging given its complex geometry and the involvement of supra-aortic arteries. Different branched endografts have been designed for use in this region, but their haemodynamic performance and the risk for post-intervention complications are not yet clear. This study aims to examine aortic haemodynamics and biomechanical conditions following TVAR treatment of an aortic arch aneurysm with a two-component single-branched endograft.

Methods

Computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis were applied to a patient-specific case at different stages: pre-intervention, post-intervention and follow-up. Physiologically accurate boundary conditions were used based on available clinical information.

Results

Computational results obtained from the post-intervention model confirmed technical success of the procedure in restoring normal flow to the arch. Simulations of the follow-up model, where boundary conditions were modified to reflect change in supra-aortic vessel perfusion observed on the follow-up scan, predicted normal flow patterns but high levels of wall stress (up to 1.3M MPa) and increased displacement forces in regions at risk of compromising device stability. This might have contributed to the suspected endoleaks or device migration identified at the final follow up.

Discussion

Our study demonstrated that detailed haemodynamic and biomechanical analysis can help identify possible causes for post-TEVAR complications in a patient-specific setting. Further refinement and validation of the computational workflow will allow personalised assessment to aid in surgical planning and clinical decision making.
Comprehensive future projections for the line-shaped convective system associated with Baiu front in Japan under RCP scenarios using regional climate model and pseudo global warming experiments
Authors: Naka Yukari , Nakakita Eiichi
Published: May 2023

Herein, climate change projections of localized extreme rainfall associated with the Baiu front (Baiu extreme rainfall) are investigated from June to August in Japan under two representative concentration pathway scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5) by analyzing the numerical simulations of a 5-km-mesh high-resolution regional climate model (NHRCM05), which gives us the probabilistic future projections by using ensemble simulations, and by conducting Pseudo Global Warming (PGW) experiments for two typical events (Kameoka heavy rainfall in 2012 and Hiroshima heavy rainfall in 2014) with the cloud-resolving model, which enables us to elucidate the mechanisms of future change. The NHRCM05 analysis revealed that the frequency of Baiu extreme rainfall would increase by 1.2-times under RCP2.6 and by ≥ 1.5-times under RCP8.5 compared with the present climate. Moreover, the maximum total rainfall would increase due to global warming. To elucidate the mechanisms of rainfall intensification, the PGW experimental results were analyzed. 2012-Kameoka PGW analysis revealed that the rainfall increasing rate was almost twofold compared to the theoretical Clausius-Clapeyron scaling, which was attributed to a nonlinear effect of intensification of the back-building dynamical structure by the convergence in the lower level and the strengthening of the updraft, resulting in localization of water vapor into the cumulonimbus that cause much more buoyancy. Meanwhile, 2014-Hiroshima event experiments indicated that the rainfall decreased with global warming due to water vapor consumption in upstream areas. However, the PGW of 2014-Hiroshima possibly happened to show a decreasing trend as further NHRCM05 analysis of events similar to 2014-Hiroshima showed an increasing trend in rainfall. This study highlights the importance of predicting future changes by combining results obtained from various methods, including climate model analysis or PGW, with a profound understanding of the implications and feature of each result as well as the fact that disaster prevention and adaptation measures are urgently needed.

Islands are a classic focus for evolutionary studies. One topic of great interest has been the evolution of “dwarfs,” significantly smaller island mammals relative to their continental counterparts. Although a consensus has been achieved regarding the multivariate ecological causes behind changes in body size, the processes involved remain largely unexplored. Life history variables, including age at first reproduction, growth rate, and longevity, are likely to be key to understanding the process of insular dwarfism. The Japanese archipelago, with its numerous islands, offers a unique natural experiment for the evolution of different sizes within the same group of organisms; namely, deer. Thus, we investigated eight deer populations with a total number of 52 individuals exhibiting body size variation, both extant and fossil, to clarify the effect of insularity on life history traits. We applied several methods to both extant and extinct populations to resolve life history changes among these deer populations. Skeletochronology, using lines of arrested growth formed in long bones (femur and tibia), successfully reconstructed body growth curves and revealed a gradual change in growth trajectories reflecting the degree of insularity. Slower growth rates with prolonged growth periods in more isolated deer populations were revealed. An extensive examination of bone microstructure further corroborated this finding, with much slower growth and later somatic maturity evident in fossil insular deer isolated for more than 1.5 Myr. Finally, mortality patterns assessed by demographic analysis revealed variation among deer populations, with a life history of insular populations shifting toward the “slow life.”
