Design, build, occupy, adapt: Critical considerations of architectural education in an ethos of upheaval
Authors: Sinclair Brian Robert , Furlan Raffaello , Al-Mohannadi Asmaa , Esmaeili Nooshin
Published: May 2023

Over the past century, as mobility increased and communication heightened, architectural education saw a shared vision gain uptake and adoption in many corners of the globe. Informed by an embrace of architecture as a regulated profession, schools pursued similar standards, structure, accreditation & assessment, albeit with local overlays and national policies dictating details and nuancing content. While numerous models developed in concert, all pursued the notion of education providing base competencies for the subsequent pursuit of professional registration/certification and associated modes of practice. In many ways curricula has been increasingly comparable between many international regions, which has resulted in benefits around legibility, reputation and value of architecture as both discipline and profession. Centered on the studio as a signature pedagogy, architectural education has tended, to date, to translate well across borders and boundaries. However, recent challenges such as climate change, health calamities, financial crises, and global conflict, to name but a few, have given cause to critically review architectural education, writ-large, in terms of content, delivery, value, efficacy and impact. The present project, driven by researchers in North America and the Middle East, examines and interrogates aspects of architectural education considering this ethos of upheaval. The work, which is exploratory in extent and preliminary in character, is intended as a provocation concerning the status quo. Included in the probe are factors that prove fundamental to our productively advancing the profession and practices of Architecture:  namely technology, psychology, sociology, business, research, sustainability and ethics. Developing from an environmental scan, and drawing from extensive administrative experience (in numerous nations) of the two lead authors, the research then examines selected details for each of these factors - proposing new means and methods that promise to better prepare architecture students for a dramatically different world. Ancillary yet vital qualities, such as interdisciplinary engagement, leadership, intersectoral understanding, and holism, are investigated with respect to a curricular reset. The authors shape a novel model for higher education in architecture that resonates with emerging demands and equips students to survive and thrive given the changing global context and the transcendental ‘new normal.’
Indoor relative humidity: relevance for health, comfort, and choice of ventilation system
Authors: Albelda-Estellés Ness Maria Coral
Published: May 2023

It is generally recommended to keep the values of relative humidity (RH) indoors between 40 and 60% for comfort and health. However, the environment in our homes and offices is a lot dryer in the winter, going down to 20% or less in cold climates. We can be in such dry environments for short periods, but in the long term we might get physiological impairments such as dry or irritated eyes, nose, throat and skin, and even an increase on headaches and respiratory or skin diseases and allergies. On the other hand, too high values of relative humidity can promote growth of fungi and mites, and create moisture problems in building materials. Those problems could be solved by finding a balance between ventilation rate and indoor humidity production, in combination with moisture absorbing materials. However, these strategies work better with lower air speed and ventilation rate, which may in turn conflict with the need for fresh air to compensate for the production of CO2 and other pollutants. Typically, mechanically ventilated spaces tend to have a lower RH than those with natural ventilation, independently of the season and indoor temperature, since their main focus is providing enough fresh air to keep CO2 levels below 1000ppm. Recently, it has gained acceptance to monitor temperature, humidity and CO2 for indoor air quality and health, which has the potential to show their interactions and help find an optimal balance between them. We carried a building performance simulation (BPS)analysis of an office building with an optimized design for passive strategies and automation in cold climate. Instead of focusing on high air changes, this building uses extra high floors for stratification of temperature and pollutants, to reduce the need for ventilation in winter. Then we compared indoor RH under natural and mechanical ventilation, to reflect on the effect of the ventilation system.

Research interest in the integration of thermoelectric systems in the building envelope have increased during the last years. Studies show that regardless of a low COP compared to vapor compression systems; thermoelectric systems present other remarkable features for heating, cooling and ventilation on buildings. Among those studies, a few prototype experiences incorporate thermoelectric systems on windows.Alternatively, standard air conditioning systems often require additional equipment installed on façade or wall surfaces that compromise the use of space in the case of building refurbishment. Thus, the integration of thermoelectric systems on window framing is presented here as a decentralized alternative for air conditioning support, whose performance aims at balancing out the heat losses in windows. The purpose of this communication is to present the development of an active aluminum window-framing prototype with a thermoelectric heat recovery system for heating and cooling. In a typical single-floor house scenario, the active window-frame works in two different modes: pre heating/cooling mode applying forced convection through a mechanical fan and pre heating/cooling mode with natural convection. The impulsion airflow rate meets ventilation requirements according to Spanish Technical Building Code (CTE) for indoor air quality.
Architectures of Emergency. Sentinel operations for a rapidly changing environment
Authors: Mompean Botias Estefania
Published: May 2023

The declaration of an emergency is given by various protocols that respond to a series of interventions driven by an environmental urgency (Anderson 2017), designed by global networks of experts that mobilize advertising modes of economic development in the face of environmental collapse (Goh 2021). This research proposes a different imaginary of the Emergency. This reflection aims to resignify the Emergency from the embodied experiences of the disruptive events we live, opening the discussion on the frictions between a normative world based on human security and the modalities of militant movements dedicated to redressing social, environmental, and economic inequalities (Whyte 2018). In this sense, we develop the idea of sentinel modes of care that reflect the affective scaffolding of life-related to the environment and potential catastrophe (Wright, Plahe, and Jack 2022). A state of constant alertness characterizes sentinel care within a more-than-human register of the relationship and potentialities of the territory. This text aims to position itself on emergency protocols while exploring other imaginaries and their impact on spatial practices.
Architecture and Music around the Alhambra. Reminiscences of a dreamlike world: La Puerta del Vino (Debussy)
Authors: Baró Zarzo José Luis , Cortijo Ruiz Jovita
Published: May 2023

Orientalism, as a variant of exoticism in the Romantic period, adopted a series of topics linked to distant countries and oriental cultures, including Spanish lands, especially Andalusian. This phenomenon was especially prolific in the world of the arts around the Alhambra, «doubly romantic for its medieval and oriental origin» (Raquejo, 1989).Alhambrism was developed by traveling writers in the early 19th century, eager for suggestive scenarios in which to recreate their poems and stories. Later it spread to the plastic arts, with painters such as François Antoine Bossuet, John Frederick Lewis, David Roberts, Gustave Doré or Jenaro Pérez Villaamil. In the case of architecture, Alhambrism was nourished by parallel sources. On the one hand, the awakening to the conservation of the Alhambra as a monument witness to a dreamy period in the history of Spain, and the first interventions by Rafael Contreras, still under babbling and unscientific criteria. On the other hand, the impulse to decorativism through the seminal studies of Owen Jones and Jules Goury, convinced that «in the Alhambra the exemplary paradigm of the most perfect ornamental and chromatic system of all historical styles had existed was hidden» (Villafranca).Music also found fertile ground for creativity in the Alhambra between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries, within the nationalist romantic movement. However, it was mainly the Spanish composers who chose the Alhambra to reflect the national identity: Tárrega, Turina, Albéniz, Bretón, De Monasterio, to which we should add a Debussy influenced by Falla.The communication aims ultimately to investigate through analysis the musical resources used by the last-mentioned composer, Claude Debussy, to evoke with sounds the architecture and the sensual atmosphere of the Alhambra in one of the most representative works of Alhambrism in music: La Puerta del Vino (The Wine Gate).
The third way “After Modern Architecture”
Authors: Barrera Puigdollers Jose Manuel
Published: May 2023

The 22nd issue of the 1978 Arquitecturas Bis, entitled "After Modern Architecture", reproduces three articles published in Oppositions magazine No. 5, 6 and 7, where Mario Gandelsonas and Peter Eisenman contributed "Neo and Post-functionalism" respectively and Antony Vidler “A third typology”. Together with other texts by R Moneo, Oriol Bohigas and Helio Piñón, they strive to understand what it implies, contains and what the scope of the title is that Kenneth Frampton had designated in 1973. Underlying in them is a “third way,” which is neither neo-rationalist, nor neorealist, but rather aims to re-establish the recoverable foundations of modernity as long as it was declared as a public service to transform society. This new architecture would focus on its disciplinary debates, while expanding its cultural base, serving the new social needs and integrating the culture of difference, from overcoming mythological history through situating ourselves “in the meantime” in time. The latest Pritzker, and some architecture awarded by professional associations, or the most debated today is presented dry, crude, informal nevertheless sustainable, efficient, ecological, low-cost, which point both to a stripped simplification and a new radical realism. In what follows we will try to verify if any of this new architecture responds to that third way that the theoreticians pointed out as a hypothesis in the initial debates.
An approach to the influence of climate change on the seasonal real estate market
Authors: García Martínez Fernando , Llorca Ponce Alicia , Pérez Royo David
Published: May 2023

The effects of climate change are becoming more apparent day by day. This is reflected in an increasing global warming that produces changes in the climate in the short and medium term with potential and growing consequences in the behavioral patterns of society.The climate crisis described above may have significant consequences on the vacation dynamics of national and foreign audiences. Effects such as the increase in temperatures, the desertification and erosion of large areas of the territory, or the scarcity of rainfall, reduce or alter the appeal of traditional holiday destinations. The loss of interest in typical tourist areas and the detour of their public to other areas that had never been touristic, cause alterations in the real estate market.Despite the topicality and importance of this subject, the existing bibliography is scarce and scattered. This paper attempts to compile the existing scientific publications on the effect of climate change on real estate investment, as well as the main factors to be considered.
Um resgate histórico-epistemológico da observação científica
Authors: Raicik Anabel Cardoso , De Quadro Peduzzi Luiz Orlando
Published: May 2023

Este artigo traz uma breve contextualização histórica-epistemológica da observação enquanto prática, ideia e categoria epistêmica, perpassando o seu entendimento de uma perspectiva aristotélica ao advento da ciência moderna. A partir da menção às teses de Hanson, Fleck e Shapere, contextualiza a utopia de neutralidade de uma observação científica. Concepções que ainda permeiam o ensino de ciências, fortemente empírico-indutivistas, que envolvem estereótipos de uma observação neutra, livre de pressupostos e subjetividades, que produz bases seguras para obtenção de conhecimentos, são prejudiciais a um melhor entendimento sobre ciência. Assim, por fim, reafirmando a relevância da História e Filosofia da Ciência em promover discussões relativas à Natureza da Ciência, apresenta exemplos de episódios históricos que podem, quando devidamente explorados, ser abordados no ensino de ciências.
Possibilidades de exploração teórica de reflexões de licenciandos em matemática sobre suas dificuldades na resolução de questões de funções afim e quadrática
Authors: Agostinetto Antunes Francieli Cristina , Ignatius Nogueira Clélia Maria , Bessa de Menezes Marcus
Published: May 2023

Este texto traz algumas reflexões sobre as dificuldades identificadas nas resoluções de atividades de um teste envolvendo função afim e quadrática apresentadas por dezoito acadêmicos do segundo ano do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática. As atividades foram elaboradas com base na Teoria dos Registros de Representação Semiótica, cujas resoluções revelaram a dificuldade na conversão dos registros gráfico e da língua natural para o registro simbólico algébrico. Foram verificadas dificuldades também quanto ao uso de argumentos matemáticos para justificar as estratégias utilizadas para resolução dos fenômenos apresentados. A falta de organização formal nas resoluções foi outro aspecto revelado pelos acadêmicos por meio das atividades do teste. A partir dessas dificuldades constatou-se que a conversão do registro gráfico para simbólico algébrico constitui-se em obstáculo didático e a conversão do registro em língua natural para o simbólico algébrico em obstáculo epistemológico para a aquisição do conhecimento de funções afim e quadrática.

Purity in the Gospel of John
Authors: Rogan Wil
Published: May 2023

Wil Rogan argues that, contrary to twentieth-century interpretation, the Fourth Gospel did not replace purity with faith in Jesus. Instead, as with other early Jewish writings, its discourse about purity functions as a way to make sense of life before God in the world. He suggests that John’s Gospel employs biblical and early Jewish traditions of purity associated with divine revelation and Israel’s restoration to narrate how God’s people are prepared for the coming of Jesus and enabled by him to have life with God characterized by love.

After evaluating different theories of purity for the interpretation of the Fourth Gospel, Rogan explores John the Baptist as an agent of ritual purification, Jesus as the agent of moral purification, and the disciples of Jesus as ones who are (or are not) made morally pure by Jesus. While purity is not one of the Fourth Gospel’s primary focuses, Rogan stresses that the concept figures into some of its most significant claims about Christology, the doctrine of salvation, and ethics. Through purity, the Fourth Gospel guards continuity with the past while placing surprising conditions on participation in Israel’s future.
Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts
Authors: Child Louise
Published: May 2023

Drawing from social theory and the anthropology of religion, this book explores popular media’s fascination with dreams, pagan gods and goddesses, vampires, and spirits. Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts does so in the light of anthropological studies of societies in which human persons are not merely a source of entertainment, but a lived social reality.

Films and programs explored include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood, Twin Peaks, Star Trek and the films of Hitchcock. Louise Child draws attention to how they both depict and challenge ideas and practices rooted in psychology, while quality television has also facilitated a wave of programming that can explore the interaction of characters in complex social worlds over time. As well as drawing on theories of film from Freudian psychology and feminist theory, Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts also uses approaches derived from a combination of Jungian film studies and anthropology that offer fresh insights for exploring film and television.

This book draws attention to explicit and subtle ways in which cinematic narratives engage with myth and religion while at the same time exploring collective dimensions to social and personal life. It advances new developments in genre studies and gender as well as contributing to the growing field of implicit religion using in depth analyses of communicative dreaming, the shadow, and mystical lovers in film and television.
Landscape as Wounded Body
Authors: van Asperen Hanneke
Published: May 2023

Throughout the centuries, artists employed many models to picture
inundations. The most often cited are depictions of mythical, biblical,
and historical floods. In addition, artists sometimes used unexpected
but equally dramatic models. In 1754 the prolific eighteenth-century
draughtsman and printmaker Simon Fokke designed an image of recent
dyke breaches for the triweekly periodical Nederlandsche jaerboeken.
Prominently depicted in the foreground of Fokke’s image is a map of the
flooded region. This element of a map, with mourning cherubs on either
side, recalls religious, specifically Catholic, imagery that centralises the
dead body of Christ. Arguably, Fokke used these images of pity to depict
the land as a tangible and suffering body in order to evoke feelings of
compassion. Hence, the depiction encouraged viewers to extend these
feelings of empathy towards a part of the country where they may not
have resided themselves, in keeping with the synthesising goals of the
periodical.
The Ten Plagues of the New World
Authors: Wieser Florian
Published: May 2023

Through a study of the epidemics that devastated Mesoamerica’s
indigenous population in the sixteenth century, this chapter develops
‘sensemaking’ as a useful analytical category for the history of disasters.
To do so, it revisits established sources like chronicles, medical handbooks,
and indigenous painted annals to investigate the discourses produced by
different social groups in Spanish colonial society in their attempts to
explain why and how the epidemics had occurred. Comparing these groups
(medical professionals, clerics, conquest elites, indigenous intellectuals)
under the premise of competition for dominance in a ‘fractal society’, the
chapter draws conclusions regarding the social dimension of disaster. It
suggests that while different social groups shared certain basic ideas about
epidemic disease, they deployed these in different ways to support their
respective positions. These disparate discourses are connected by their
status as sensemaking, a category that serves an established function
within the cycle of disaster and response.
Breaking the Cycles of Catastrophe
Authors: Duiveman Adriaan
Published: May 2023

Historians argue that the eighteenth-century Dutch interpreted disasters
in an overarching decline narrative. As such, catastrophes were understood
as signs of an escalating political, economic, and moral crisis. However,
this declensionist narrative was not the only interpretative framework that
people could employ for dreadful events. This article traces the temporalities
in four contemporary commemoration books on major Dutch flood
disasters in 1757, 1775, and 1799. Their authors located recent inundations
in time by comparing them to past catastrophes and imagining a future
in which floods may or may not recur. The writers of two commemoration
books recognised regular cycles of catastrophe, while the authors of the
other two titles discerned an increase in the number of and the damage
caused by inundations. Nonetheless, most authors provided their readers
hope. Through either morality or technology, the writers asserted, people
could prevent future catastrophes.

Published: May 2023

OBJECTIVE:To determine the clinicopathological profile of Oral squamous cell carcinoma cases.                                                                   

MATERIALS AND METHODS:This retrospective study was carried out at the Morbid Anatomy and Histopathology / Oral Pathology department of Post Graduate Medical Institute (PGMI), Lahore. Relevant clinicopathological data of 71 cases of OSCC reported between February, 2014 to September, 2015 was collected. SPSS 21.0 was used for analyzing the data. Mean was given for quantitative variables while frequencies and percentage  were calculated for qualitative variables .

RESULTS:Out of 71 OSCC patients, 76.1% were above 40 years and maximum number of patients 23(32.39%) were in  the sixth decade. Mean age of the OSCC patients was 53 years. A Male to female patient ratio of 1.84:1  was seen. The commonest site of OSCC development was tongue. Histopathologically, Moderately differentiated OSCC (grade II) cases were maximum in number ie. (66.32%). Among the studied cases, 8 were recurrent OSCC cases and 6 cases had lymph node metastasis.

 CONCLUSION:OSCC is a major health delimma. Measures should be taken for awareness regarding prevention, early diagnosis, management and follow up of oral cancer.
OH airglow observations with two identical spectrometers: benefits of increased data homogeneity in the identification of the 11-year solar cycle-, QBO-induced and other variations
Authors: Schmidt Carsten , Küchelbacher Lisa , Wüst Sabine , Bittner Michael
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Hydroxyl (OH) radical airglow observations have been performed at the environmental research station ‘Schneefernerhaus’ (UFS, 47.42° N, 10.98° E) since October 2008, and with continuous operation since July 2009. The instrumental setup relies on the parallel operation of two identical GRIPS (Ground-based Infrared P-branch Spectrometer) in order to achieve maximum completeness and homogeneity. After the first decade of observations the acquired time series are evaluated with respect to the main influences on data quality and comparability to those on other sites. Data quality is essentially limited by gaps impacting the completeness. While technical failures are largely excluded by the setup, gaps caused by adverse meteorological conditions can systematically influence estimates of the annual mean. The overall sampling density is high, with nightly mean temperatures obtained for 3382 of 4018 nights of observation (84 %), but the average coverage changes throughout the year. This can bias the annual mean up to 0.8 K if not properly accounted for. Sensitivity studies performed with the two identical instruments and their retrieval show that the comparability between the observations is influenced by the annual and semi-annual cycle as well as the choice of Einstein-A-coefficients, which influence the estimate of the annual cycle’s amplitude. A strong 11-year solar signal of 5.9 ± 0.6 K / 100 sfu is identified in the data. The OH temperatures follow the F10.7cm value with a time lag of 90 ± 65 days. However, the precise value depends on details of the analysis. The highest correlation (R2=0.91) is achieved for yearly mean OH temperatures averaged around 4th February and the F10.7cm solar flux leading ahead with 110 days. A prominent two-year oscillation is identified between 2011 and 2015. This signal is linked to the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) leading to a temperature reduction of approximately 1 K during QBO westward phases in 2011, 2013, 2015 and a respective 1 K increase in 2012 and 2014 during QBO eastward phases. The amplitude of the semi-annual cycle shows a similar behavior with the decade’s minimum amplitudes (~2.5–3 K) retrieved for 2011, 2013 and 2015 and maximum amplitudes observed in 2012 and 2014 (~4 K). The signal appears to disappear after 2016 when the solar flux approaches its next minimum. Although it appears as a rather strict 24-month periodicity between 2011 and 2015, spectral analyses show a more or less continuous oscillation with a period of approximately 21 months over the entire time span, which can be interpreted as the result of a non-linear interaction of the QBO (28 months) with the annual cycle (12 months).
Do phenomenological dynamical paleoclimate models have physical similarity with Nature? Seemingly, not all of them do
Authors: Verbitsky Mikhail Y. , Crucifix Michel
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Phenomenological models may be impressive in reproducing empirical time series but this is not sufficient to claim physical similarity with Nature until comparison of similarity parameters is performed. We illustrated such a process of diagnostics of physical similarity by comparing the phenomenological dynamical paleoclimate model of Ganopolski (2023), the van der Pol model (as used by Crucifix, 2013), and the model of Leloup and Paillard (2022) with the physically explicit Verbitsky et al (2018) model that played a role of a reference dynamical system. We concluded that phenomenological models of Ganopolski (2023) and of Leloup and Paillard (2022) may be considered to be physically similar with the proxy parent dynamical system in some range of parameters, or in other words they may be derived from basic laws of physics under some reasonable physical assumptions. We have not been able to arrive to the same conclusion regarding the van der Pol model. Though developments of better proxies of the parent dynamical system should be encouraged, we nevertheless believe that the diagnostics of physical similarity, as we describe it here, should become a standard procedure to delineate a model that is merely a statistical description of the data, from a model that can be claimed to have a link with known physical assumptions.
Reaction dynamics of P(4S) + O2(X 3Σ-) → O(3P) + PO(X 2Π) on a global CHIPR potential energy surface of PO2(X 2A1): implication for atmospheric modelling
Authors: Chen Guangan , Qin Zhi , Li Ximing , Liu Linhua
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Reaction dynamics of P(4S) + O2(X 3Σ-) → O(3P) + PO(X 2Π) is thought to be important in atmospheric and interstellar chemistry. Based on the state-of-the-art ab initio energy points, we analytically constructed a global potential energy surface (PES) for the ground state PO2(X 2A1) using the combined-hyperbolic-inverse-power-representation (CHIPR) method. A total of 6471 energy points are computed by the multireference configuration interaction method with the Davidson correction and aug-cc-pV5Z basis set. The analytical CHIPR PES reproduces ab initio energies accurately with a root-mean-square deviation of 91.5 cm-1 (or 0.262 kcal/mol). The strongly-bound valence region of the PES has complicated topographical features with multiple potential wells and barriers. The attributes of the important intermediates are carefully validated with our geometry optimization results and previous computational results. Finally, the reaction probability, integral cross sections and rate constants for P(4S) + O2(X 3Σ-) → O(3P) + PO(X 2Π) are calculated using the quasi-classical trajectory and time-dependent wave packet methods. The trends of probability and integral cross section versus the collision energy can be divided into three stages, which are governed by the entrance barriers or exothermicity of the reaction. The rate constant demonstrates strong Arrhenius linear behavior at relatively low temperatures, but it deviates from this pattern at high temperatures. The calculated cross sections and rate constants are helpful for modelling the P chemistry in atmosphere and interstellar media.

Abstract. Land cover and land management changes (LCLMCs) play an important role in achieving low-end warming scenarios through land-based mitigation. However, their effects on moisture fluxes and recycling remain uncertain although they have important implications for the future viability of such strategies. Here, we analyse the impact of idealised LCLMC scenarios on atmospheric moisture transport in three different ESMs: the Community Earth System Model (CESM), the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM) and the European Consortium Earth System Model (EC-EARTH). The LCLMC scenarios comprise of a full cropland world, a fully afforested world, and a cropland world with unlimited irrigation expansion. The effects of these LCLMCs in the different ESMs are analysed for precipitation, evaporation and vertically integrated moisture flux convergence to understand the LCLMC-induced changes in the atmospheric moisture cycle. Then, a moisture tracking algorithm is applied to assess the effects of LCLMCs on moisture recycling at the local (grid cell level) and the global scale (continental moisture recycling). Our results indicate that LCLMCs are generally inducing consistent feedbacks on moisture fluxes over land in all ESMs. Cropland expansion causes drying and reduced local moisture recycling in all ESMs, while afforestation and irrigation expansion generally cause wetting and increased local moisture recycling. However, the strength of this influence varies in time and space and across the ESMs and shows a strong dependency on the dominant driver: Some ESMs show a dominance of large scale atmospheric circulation changes while other ESMs show a dominance of local to regional changes in the atmospheric water cycle only within the vicinity of the LCLMC. Overall, these results corroborate that LCLMCs can induce large effects on the atmospheric water cycle and moisture recycling, but more research is needed to constrain the uncertainty of these effects within ESMs and better evaluate land-based mitigation strategies.
An integrated and homogenized global surface solar radiation dataset and its reconstruction based on an artificial intelligence approach
Authors: Jiao Boyang , Su Yucheng , Li Qingxiang , Manara Veronica , Wild Martin
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Surface solar radiation (SSR) is an essential factor in the flow of surface energy, enabling accurate capturing of long-term climate change and understanding the energy balance of Earth's atmosphere system. However, the long-term trend estimation of SSR is subjected to significant uncertainties due to the temporal inhomogeneity and the uneven spatial distribution of the in-situ observations. This paper develops an observational integrated and homogenized global-terrestrial (except for Antarctica)) stational SSR dataset (SSRIHstation) by integrating all available SSR observations, including the existing homogenized SSR results. The series are then interpolated in order to obtain a 5°×5° resolution gridded dataset (SSRIHgrid). On this basis, we further reconstruct a long-term (1955–2018) global land (except for Antarctica) SSR anomalies dataset with a 5°×2.5° resolution (SSRIH20CR) by training improved partial convolutional neural network deep learning methods based on the reanalysis 20CRv3. Based on this, we analysed the global land (except for Antarctica) /regional scale SSR trends and spatiotemporal variations: the reconstruction results reflect the distribution of SSR anomalies and have high reliability in filling and reconstructing the missing values. At the global land (except for Antarctica) scale, the decreasing trend of the SSRIH20CR (-1.276±0.205 W/m2 per decade) is slightly smaller than the trend of the SSRIHgrid (-1.776±0.230 W/m2 per decade) from 1955 to 1991. The trend of SSRIH20CR (0.697±0.359 W/m2 per decade) from 1991 to 2018 is also marginally lower than that of the SSRIHgrid (0.851±0.410 W/m2 per decade). At the regional scale, the difference between the SSRIH20CR and SSRIHgrid is more significant in years and areas with insufficient coverage. Asia, Africa, Europe and North America cause the global dimming of the SSRIH20CR, while Europe and North America drive the global brightening of the SSRIH20CR. Spatial sampling inadequacies have largely contributed to a bias in the long-term variation of global/regional SSR.

Intercomparisons of five ocean particle tracking software packages
Authors: Xiong Jilian , MacCready Parker
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Particle tracking is widely utilized to study transport features in a range of physical, chemical, and biological processes in oceanography. In this study, a new offline particle tracking package, Tracker, is introduced and its performance is evaluated in comparison to an online Eulerian dye, one online and three offline particle tracking software packages in a small high-resolution (200 m) model domain and a large coarser (1000 m) model domain. It was found that both particle and dye approaches give similar results across different model resolutions and domains when they were tracking the same water mass, as indicated by similar mean advection pathways and spatial distributions of dye and particles. The flexibility of offline particle tracking and its similarity against online dye and particle tracking make it a useful tool to complement existing ocean circulation models. Lastly, the new Tracker was shown to be a reliable particle tracking package to complement the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), and tradeoffs of performance, modifiability, and ease of use that can influence the choice of which package to use are discussed.

Cultural Understanding and Language Translation
Authors: محمد أبوبكر عبدا لقادر و عبدالرحمن احمد حمزة
Published: May 2023

Language, being an exclusively human feature, is principally dynamic; it involves a diversity of changes and adjustments in its course of existence. It is also considered as a factor that links distinct cultures and a way of expressing thoughts and feelings; accordingly, translation is one of the principal, ultimate and appropriate ways in transferring culture. Translation, including the transposition of thoughts expressed in one language by a specific social community into the adequate expression of another social community. As cultures are increasingly brought into greater contact with one another, multicultural concessions and considerations are taken to an increasing degree and as a result, the process of cultural translation takes place. As a result, our broad discussion topic in language is not the relationship between translation and culture since there is an close relationship between translation and culture. What interests us in the present paper is not accomplishing only a particular defined ideal equivalence relation between translation and culture, but, among other things, how do some precise changes influence us when we are trying to comprehend a text before finally translating it? We are not just dealing with words in a written form in a specific period of time, situation and place; most significantly it is the "cultural" aspect of the source text that we must take into account. The process of transfer across cultures, should; consequently, communicate the aspect with regard to the target culture to ensure consistency in the eyes of the target reader.

تهدف الدراسة إلى التعرف على مستوى ممارسة المشرفين التربويين للأساليب الإشرافية من وجهة نظر معلمي التعليم الثانوي ببلدية درج.واستعرضت في جانبها النظري الاساليب الاشرافية من حيث مفهومها وأساليبها بمرحلة التعليم الثانوي بالبلدية، كما اشتملت على بعض الدراسات السابقة ذات العلاقة بهذه الدراسة، ولتحقيق أهداف الدراسة تم استخدام المنهج الوصفي التحليلي ، وتم استخدام اداتي (الاستبانة والمقابلة) حيث وجهت الاستبانة إلى معلمي التعليم الثانوي ببلدية درج مجتمع هذه الدراسة، واستخدمت اداة المقابلة مع المشرفين التربويين على هذه المرحلة. ولتحليل البيانات التي جمعت من عينة الدراسة تمت الاستعانة ببرنامج التحليل الاحصائي للاستبانة ، واستخدام الوسائل الاحصائية من معامل ثبات الاداة (الفاكرونباخ)، وكذلك حساب المتوسطات الحسابية والانحرافات المعيارية ، ثم استخدام الاختبار الثنائي وتحليل التباين ا لأحادي  مع متغيرات الدراسة. واظهرت هذه الدراسة عدة نتائج أهمها ما يلي:

.1 جاءت استجابة المعلمين  لممارسة الاساليب الاشرافية بمدارس التعليم الثانوي ببلدية درج في محاور الدراسة منخفضة .

.2لا توجد فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية عند مستوى 0.05 في استجابات المعلمين لممارسة الاساليب الاشرافية بمدارس التعليم الثانوي ببلدية درج وفقا لمتغيرات( الجنس، والتخصص، والمؤهل العلمي، وسنوات الخبرة).

في ضوء ما تم التوصل اليه من نتائج أوصت الدراسة ضرورة تنويع الاساليب الاشرافية التربوية، واقترحت اجراء دراسات مماثلة في المراحل التعليمية الأخرى، تستهدف إلى جانب المعلمين عينات أخرى من المديرين والمشرفين والمسؤولين التربويين .
