Irreversibility and natural resource allocation: Applying Krutilla–Fisher model in water allocation
Authors: Wu Hongyan
Published: October 2023

Development projects that are created on the basis of using surface water resources such as rivers and lakes without considering the values of the ecosystem cause irreparable damage. Water transfer is one of the options of water management, which is done to allocate water to the agricultural, domestic and industrial sectors and reduces the ecosystem's share of natural water resources. Food supply, industrial development and population growth are the phenomena of the present condition, which are opposed to the ecosystem services that the future generation needs. This study has been carried out in order to develop an optimal control model for the allocation of a natural water resource considering irreversibility. This method is inspired by the Krutilla–Fisher model, which was developed in the form of the possibility of improving agricultural water management. The results showed that by applying optimal management in 25% of agricultural water use, it is possible to provide 100 and 65% of the ecosystem's water requirements in winter and summer, respectively. It showed that the allocation of river water for different uses in the current situation does not follow an optimal policy. In fact, it exacerbates environmental irreversibility in the ecosystem.

Mast cell tumors, which are neoplasms with variable behavior, from less aggressive to highly metastatic tumors, account for 16%–21% of cutaneous neoplasms in dogs. The diagnosis and grading of mast cell tumors are based on cytological analysis and histological evaluation, which facilitate appropriate planning for surgical and chemotherapeutic treatment. Surgical resection with safety margins of 2–3 cm is considered the best therapeutic option; however, postoperative complications, such as delayed healing, necrosis, suture dehiscence, and occurrence of seroma, are reported. It is essential to understand the biology of mast cell tumors because prognostic factors directly influence the efficacy of the treatment and the quality of life of the patient. Here, we conducted a retrospective study of dogs submitted to surgical resection of cutaneous mast cell tumors, and analyzed the prognostic factors and occurrence of postoperative complications. The results showed that low grade mast cell tumors were associated with a lower occurrence of ulceration, metastasis, recurrence, lack of need for adjuvant therapy, and occurrence of paraneoplastic syndrome compared to those of a higher grade. We also compared the association between demanding or compromised margins with the presence of postoperative complications. The results showed that high grade mast cell tumors have a greater metastatic potential and that the presence of neoplastic cells in the adjacent tissues leads to a greater malignancy and postoperative complications.

Authors: Wisdom Mprah Kwadwo
Published: October 2023

This article examines how deaf people in Ghana prioritize their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs. The aim is to determine the most pressing SRH needs of the deaf community in Ghana and then propose appropriate measures to make SRH information and services accessible to them. The study was a SRH needs assessment with deaf people in Ghana, which utilized a participatory needs assessment method. A total sample of 179 participants took part in the study: 26 were focus group participants, 152 were survey respondents, and one person acted as a key informant. The study findings indicated that deaf people in Ghana have many SRH challenges, but the most pressing needs were related to barriers associated with communication and attitude of health professionals. To design SRH programmes that are deaf-friendly, there is the need to take into account the linguistic and cultural values of the deaf community.

Permisividad de sanción a ciudadanos que vulneran el derecho del ambiente sano y de la salud
Authors: Solórzano Delgado Mariuxi , Marriott Zurita Gustavo
Published: October 2023

La problemática se centra en el excesivo volumen de desechos sólidos sin adecuado tratamiento cuando son arrojados por los ciudadanos en lugares indebidos. Este hecho perdura sin una solución que avale la protección del derecho al ambiente sano y la salud, de modo que indujo a cuestionar la permisividad por parte de las autoridades municipales de Guayaquil en la aplicación de multas a las personas infractoras; luego se planteó como objetivo investigativo analizar las causas y consecuencias generadas por la mala disposición de los desechos sólidos, constitutivo de infracciones estipuladas en el artículo 23 de la Ordenanza Municipal. La metodología seguida fue de tipo descriptiva, fueron aplicadas las técnicas de la encuesta y entrevista, de lo que se obtuvo la persistencia del manejo incorrecto de los desechos sólidos por falta de aplicación de multas a los infractores. Se hace reincidente, lo que redunda en el agravamiento de la contaminación ambiental y las consecuentes enfermedades principalmente respiratorias en las personas. En consideración, se evidencia notable vulnerabilidad del derecho al ambiente y la salud estipulados en artículos 14 y 32 como derechos fundamentales en la Constitución de la República; desconocimiento por parte de los ciudadanos y menoscabo de la conciencia ambiental.
Mixed Urinary Incontinence: Diagnosis and Management
Authors: Sebesta Elisabeth M. , Dmochowski Roger R.
Published: October 2023

The evaluation and treatment of mixed urinary incontinence receives relatively little attention as compared to other forms of incontinence. Mixed incontinence, however, defined as the combination of stress and urgency incontinence, accounts for the largest proportion of incontinence, with an increased incidence in older women. The condition can be very challenging to manage due to the coexistence of multiple pathologies. Treating either component can worsen the other, which means careful discussion of the risks and benefits, in addition to considerations of multimodal treatment approaches are required. In the older adult population, where this condition confers a significant impact on quality of life, there are many special considerations when evaluating and treating patients. Evaluation requires a careful assessment of the impact on QOL and goals of care and may need to involve caregivers and/or family members in the discussion, in addition to considerations of more advance evaluation on an individual basis prior to invasive treatments. Conservative treatments including behavioral and lifestyle modifications and pelvic floor physical therapy should be the mainstay of first-line treatment for older women with MUI, while taking into careful consideration how cognitive and/or physical limitations may impact treatment. Pharmacologic therapy should include a consideration of vaginal estrogen replacement, however oral medications for urgency and overactive bladder have increased risks in older women, which means more advanced treatments may want to be introduced sooner. There is really limited data on the use of third-line overactive bladder treatments in older women with mixed incontinence, however there may be some demonstrated benefits. Finally, when considering surgical interventions in this population, although the data demonstrate some benefit in mixed incontinence, providers may want to utilize a formalized assessment of frailty due to the increased morbidity associated with frailty in surgeries for incontinence.

Authors: Yadav Vikas , Singh Asit
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In India's cities and towns, managing solid waste is one of the most difficult issues. In Indian cities, the production of municipal solid waste (MSW) is accelerated by rising population levels, brisk economic expansion, and rising community living standards. Solid Waste Management (SWM) at the community level presents a number of challenging issues that must be understood and addressed, and the Center's survey for the characterization and quantification of solid waste in Lucknow's Gram Panchayats is an important undertaking. Solid waste management (SWM) is an organized process that addresses solid waste storage, collecting, transportation, processing, and disposal. Each of these steps is essential for reducing the negative effects of solid waste on human health, the environment, and aesthetics. By stratifying Gram Panchayats according to population size, the survey took a logical approach to the task. displaying a careful, data-driven strategy. To gain a thorough understanding of solid waste generation and disposal procedures in Gram Panchayats with more than 10,000 residents, a comprehensive survey of 300 families was carried out. In order to ensure that the study adequately reflected the different demographics of the area, a proportional number of households were polled in Gram Panchayats with populations of less than 2,000, 2,000 to 5,000, and 5,000 or more. Information regarding the types and subcategories of garbage created was learned from the data gathered over a 7-day period from each studied household.

Extension Time Presidential Office Through Delay General Elections in A Constitutional Democracy Perspective
Authors: Makmun Fatimatuz Zakiya , Al-Fatih Sholahuddin
Published: October 2023

A democratic system in the state, which uses the rule of law system (rechtstaat), is a constitutional democracy. Constitutional democracy is a system which respects and implements the mandate of the Constitution and applicable laws. Constitutional law aims to create discipline, peace and welfare in a country based on applicable law. Constitutional democracy is a system applied in many countries worldwide, without exception in Indonesia. In Indonesia, an applied system is a presidential one. Thus, the leader of the government is the president and vice president. The regulation on the terms of office for the president and vice president was written in Article 7 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Meanwhile, the general election mechanism is written in regulated law number 7/2017. Regarding the terms of office for the president and vice president, minister of Coordinator for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan made a public opinion that postponing the 2024 elections would have consequences in prolonging the terms of office for the president and vice president. Thus, this statement makes a public outreach because the opinion is based on big data of public opinion from social media and is not strengthened by the legally applied basis in Indonesia. This statement has violated the code of ethics of a minister based on the general principles of good governance (AAUPB) in Article 10 of Law Number 30/2014 concerning Government Administration. In addition, this statement caused public uproar and had implications for upholding the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and violating the values ​​​​of constitutional democracy in Indonesia.
Legal Ideals Pancasila in the Development of a National Environmental Legal System
Authors: Rafiqi Ilham Dwi
Published: October 2023

The discussion of legal ideals Pancasila in Indonesia has become a prolonged discourse and may not be final. This is motivated by the dynamics and problems of the nation and state in various sectors of life, one of which is the environmental sector. This paper aims to examine the potential for developing legal ideals in the national environmental law system. The research method used is normative legal research. The results of the study show that in its implementation the legal ideals of Pancasila are still not running as they should in the environmental sector in Indonesia. This is because there are deviations in values ​​in the preparation of legal policies and action agendas. In the development of a national environmental law system, legal ideals cannot be seen and read explicitly, but must continue to be explored and interpreted in every Pancasila value. The ideals of Pancasila law contain environmental values such as ecological, ecoreligious, ecosocial, and ecocracy values. The legal ideals of Pancasila are positioned and functioned as a way of life, guiding norms, and critical norms in the legal agenda in the environmental sector

Authors: Putri Windy Virdinia , Fuadi Gumilang , Susila Muh. Endrio
Published: October 2023

This study aims to compare the punishment for LGBTQ in Nigeria and Indonesia so the similarities and also the differences between the two legal systems can be drawn. This research is normative research using a comparison method. This study found that: First, there are similarities in the adopted legal systems, namely they both adhere to colonial heritage law, customary law, and Islamic law (Sharia). Regarding Sharia Law, the Sharia penal law adopted in the northern states of Nigeria and through Sharia Regional Regulation in parts of Indonesia, namely Aceh Province based on Special Autonomy, allows the province to form regional regulations based on Islamic Law (Sharia). Furthermore, there are similarities in terms of punishment based on Sharia punishment for Nigeria and Indonesia, namely that they both apply to cane, except for male sexual intercourse is punishable by stoning to death based on Nigeria Sharia punishment. Second, there are differences in the prosecution of LGBTQ people based on applicable national law. In Nigeria, based on the Criminal Act, anyone who has sexual intercourse with the same sex or with an animal or allows a man to have intercourse with another man or with a woman through anal intercourse is convicted of a crime and punished with imprisonment for 14 years. In Indonesia, based on the current Criminal Code, it only prohibits homosexual acts between an adult and a child of the same sex. In other words, the actions of two or more adult men cannot be prosecuted by criminal law, and the perpetrators cannot be punished, including if the "victims" are adults while the perpetrators are still children. Then in the 2023 Criminal Code, same-sex fornication requires it to be carried out publicly or published as pornographic content or by force. On the contrary, homosexual behavior (between 2 adults) without coercion (with consensus between the two) is not seen as a crime.
Principle-Based Regulation in Indonesia: in Response to Digital Age Toward Financial Services
Authors: Mentari Nikmah , Ibnu Adi Rahmannur
Published: October 2023

After the advent of digital technology, today's financial services have grown in importance. Part of the innovation disruption is the digitization of technology at the start of the industrial era 4.0. In the financial services industry, where access to the financial industry needs to move quickly, sophisticated, and useful to satisfy people's demands, innovation cannot wait for tomorrow. The regulation requirement for financial services inspired by the digital era must move fast to keep up with the times, even though Indonesian legislation must go through a lengthy bureaucratic procedure. In this case, law reform in the financial services sector is needed to respond to digital developments. This research is normative juridical research with the statute, conceptual, and comparative approaches. This study aims to apply the application of principle-based regulations to legal reform in the financial services sector in response to the digital era. This issue has been discussed in the United Kingdom since the financial crisis and implemented along with the rule-based regulations. In Indonesia, this issue has been implemented in institutional-level regulations, for example, Bank Indonesia Regulations in Payment System. However, efforts should be made to adopt these principles into all arrangements related to the financial services sector. This is because the regulations that are still valid in Indonesia are dominated by a rules-based system of regulations.

The purpose of the article is to conduct a sociological analysis of social marketing as a technology of health-saving behavioral practices of the population. This article presents an analysis of data reflecting the prospects of the global demographic trend associated with the aging of the population and an increase in the share of elderly citizens in the population structure. The countries whose socio-economic development is experiencing the greatest difficulties due to the demographic burden of the aging population are identified. The data reflecting the dynamics of the population of post-retirement age in the Russian Federation are also presented. The features of behavioral practices of senior citizens focused on the consumption of goods and services are analyzed. The conditions and opportunities for the formation of the "silver economy" segment are determined. The restrictions for its development in the Russian Federation are given. As a result, the author draws the con-clusion that consumer behavior and solvent demand of Russian citizens of post-retirement age negatively depend on the low level of income and opportunities to continue working after retirement.

The purpose of the article is to identify the role of Anatoly Fedorovich Koni in protecting the interests of the judicial estate of the Russian Empire in the context of the impending judicial counter-reform. The relevance of the research lies in the fact that many of the ideas of the senator and his supporters have significance in our time as well. The author estab-lishes the main aspects of liberal lawyers’ opposition to the state conservative policy, aimed at eliminating the achievements of the judicial reform of 1864. The author used the problem-chronological method in conducting the study. The process of discussing the project of the judicial bodies restructuring is studied. The author em-phasizes that the proposed changes affected the status of judicial officers, the structure of judicial bodies, the position of the jury court, etc. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that the plan of the judicial bodies restructuring did not solve the declared purposes and complicated the judi-cial system. Finally the protracted project was rejected during the first Russian Revolution.

Infecções sexualmente transmissíveis são transmitidas através do contato de fluidos corporais tais como esperma, sangue contaminado e leite materno contaminado. Dentre as Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST) está a sífilis. O enfermeiro na atenção primária além de detectar a sífilis no âmbito do pré-natal, deve estar apto e capacitado para poder realizar um acompanhamento qualificado para a gestante e o bebê focando-se na prevenção de complicações e na transmissão vertical durante a gestação. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever como é feita a assistência do enfermeiro no tratamento da sífilis em gestantes. Esta pesquisa é uma revisão integrativa da literatura, a qual busca em plataformas científicas identificou 08 artigos para serem discutidos. Os resultados apontaram em sua discussão duas temáticas muito relevantes sobre a assistência do enfermeiro à gestante com sífilis. A primeira temática falou sobre o enfermeiro e a assistência à gestante com sífilis e seu parceiro, identificando as práticas do tratamento à gestante e seu parceiro, bem como a educação em saúde, o apoio ao autocuidado e o rastreamento. Já a segunda temática intensificou sobre o enfermeiro e os testes rápidos em gestante com sífilis, mostrando sobre a responsabilidade do enfermeiro frente à realização e as orientações repassadas à gestantes com sífilis e seu parceiro. Conclui-se que o rastreamento de novos casos, controle de casos em tratamento, busca ativa de gestantes resistentes ao tratamento ou parceiros com suspeita ou positivo para sífilis e, realização dos testes rápidos e conduta frente ao caso com orientações à saúde e autocuidado são atribuições do enfermeiro e se tornam de certa forma privativos. Por ser uma temática relevante, todavia com incipiência de artigos na literatura, reforça-se a construção e pesquisa de mais evidências que possam ir além da assistência do enfermeiro, mas também, sobre os obstáculos que impedem do enfermeiro realizar uma assistência mais eficiente em gestantes com sífilis.

Published: October 2023

This research addresses the numerical simulation of a working fluid, using specialized SolidWorks Flow Simulation Software, analyzing the behavior of a drying air in a flat solar collector with thermal energy storage. In addition, one of the main centers of computational study is the relationship between flow, air temperature at the outlet of the collector and efficiency; This study allows researchers a vision of the principles of the design of these technologies, especially if it focuses on the drying of food. Then, a proposal is made on the requirements to be taken into account for the sizing of collectors based on the requirements of the product to be dried. Among the results obtained, it is established that a correctly designed collector and under a variable air flow, based on the intensity of the irradiation in specific coordinates and location, can reach efficiencies close to 30% with temperatures close to 60 ° C, being ideal for injecting this fluid into a drying chamber, where the food to be dehydrated is available. For the selection of the volume of the material for energy storage, it is recommended to take the melting temperatures as a base, with a constant flow of air, it is normal that within the system, the temperature varies depending on the position, therefore it is recommending the application of materials with different melting temperatures, which are strategically located within the storage tank.

Published: October 2023

Telehealth is an emerging approach that uses technology to provide
healthcare remotely. Recent publications have outlined the importance of
supporting the transition to self-management of adolescents with
allergic conditions. However, no synthesis of the evidence base on the
use and impact of telehealth interventions for this purpose has been
conducted to date. This review achieves these aims, in addition to
exploring the language use surrounding these interventions, and their
implementation. Four databases were searched systematically. References
were independently screened by two reviewers. Methodological quality was
assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. A narrative synthesis
was undertaken. Eighteen papers were included, reporting on fifteen
telehealth interventions. 86% targeted adolescents with asthma. Mobile
applications were the most common telehealth modality used, followed by
video-conferencing, web-based, virtual reality and artificial
intelligence Five intervention content categories were identified;
educational, monitoring, behavioural, psychosocial and healthcare
navigational. Peer and/or healthcare professional interaction,
gamification and tailoring may increase engagement. The studies showed
positive effects of the interventions or no difference from active
controls, in self-management outcomes such as knowledge, health outcomes
such as quality-of-life, and economic outcomes such as healthcare
utilisation. The most common implementation outcomes reported were
acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility and fidelity.
SARS-COV2 VACCINATION RESPONSE IN PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY PATIENTS
Authors: D'Souza Amber , M Thomas , Gnanamony Manu , TH Nguyen , Alarcon Pedro A. de
Published: October 2023

Background: There remains limited knowledge about the immune
response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV2)
vaccination in pediatric oncology patients, which is essential to
provide counseling and risk adaptation in this vulnerable population.
The goal of this study was to understand immunogenicity after
vaccination in pediatric oncology patients and determine if certain
clinical factors impacted response. Methods: Patients 0-25
years of age with a diagnosis of cancer and actively receiving therapy
were enrolled on study. We excluded patients who were completely
vaccinated prior to their cancer diagnosis. Blood samples were collected
pre-vaccination, as well as 2, 4-6, and 8-12 weeks after vaccination.
Healthy children who were fully vaccinated enrolled as controls.
Clinical data and complete blood counts around time of vaccination were
collected. To study B and T cell immunity, we measured neutralizing
antibodies by enzyme-linked immunoassay and interferon gamma secretion
by enzyme-linked immunospot, respectively. Results: 26 patients
enrolled on study, for which 11 were evaluable oncology patients and 7
were healthy controls. Adequate B cell response was seen in 36.4% of
patients and adequate T cell response in 77.8% of patients. Numbers
were too small to detect differences based on malignancy type. There was
no differences in immunity based on absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) or
intensity of therapy. Conclusion: Pediatric oncology patients
have a suboptimal immune response to SARS-COV2 vaccination. Booster
doses will be imperative to provide optimal protection against COVID-19,
however blood counts may not be a useful guide to optimize the time of
administration.

4,463 individuals from the Republika Srpska. Total anti-SARS-CoV-2
antibodies were determined in serum specimens using the Wantai total
antibody ELISA assay and Kantaro Quantitative IgG assays. Results: The
overall cumulative seroprevalence was 94.6%. Of all participants,
61.3% were vaccinated against COVID-19. Significantly higher
seroprevalence rates were observed among vaccinated participants. Among
various professions, the highest seroprevalence was found in the service
industry (98.1%), education (98.0%) and healthcare (96.9%). This
study found that 2.2% of vaccinated participants, and 3.6% of
individuals with SARS-CoV-2 positivity during 2021, had no detectable
IgG antibodies. Both seroprevalence and antibody titres were
significantly higher in people with hybrid immunity. Conclusion: Our
findings reveal a 2,3-fold increase in seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2
antibodies due to infection and vaccination, comparing to the first
study performed one year earlier. This study provides better
understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 transmission and highlights the
important role of the vaccination in achieving the population immunity.
Periodically conducted population-based seroprevalence studies are
important for assessment of surveillance system performance and public
compliance with vaccination policies. Keywords: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2

Colorectal cancer is responsible for a high proportion of cancer
mortality. The most effective way to avoid colorectal cancer is to have
a colonoscopy. However, not every polyp in the colon is prone to cancer.
As a result, different techniques are employed to classify polyps. Video
endoscopy can diagnose stomach ulcers, bleeding, and polyps. Doctors
spend a lot of time reviewing medical video endoscopy images.
Computer-aided diagnosis to analyze all images quickly and accurately.
Diagnosing gastrointestinal problems with the proposed strategy is
novel. Following the classification of the gastrointestinal disorder,
the further therapy and surgeries will be determined by its
classification. The 5000 images in the Kvasir dataset are evenly
distributed across five different digestive tract-related categories:
ulcerative colitis, dye-lifted polyps, resection margins, normal cecum,
polyps, and ulcerative polyps. The images used in the deep learning
networks went through enhancements and noise reduction. We suggested a
stacking ensemble approach to boost the model’s accuracy for prediction.
The ensemble approach included five meticulously tuned deep
convolutional neural network architectures, namely Xception, ResNet-101,
VGG-19, EfficientNetB2v3, and MobineNetV2. These models were trained
using weights obtained from the ImageNet dataset. Accuracy of 96.50%
was achieved using meta models based on logistic regression, K-NN,
Decision Tree, Support vector machine, and Naive Bayes classifier.
Nonconventional aggregation-induced emission polysiloxanes: topologies, characteristics and applications

Published: October 2023

Nonconventional luminescent materials have been rising stars in organic
luminophores due to their intrinsic characteristics, including
water-solubility, biocompatibility and environmental friendliness, and
have shown potential applications in diverse fields. As an indispensable
branch of nonconventional luminescent materials, polysiloxanes which
consist of electron-rich auxochromic groups, have exhibited outstanding
photophysical properties due to the unique silicon atom. The flexible
Si-O bonds benefit the aggregation, and the empty 3d orbitals of Si atom
can generate coordination bonds like N → Si and O → Si, altering the
electron delocalization of the material and improving the luminescent
purity. Herein, we review the recent progress in luminescent
polysiloxanes with different topologies and discuss the challenges and
perspectives. With an emphasis on the driving force for the aggregation
and the mechanism of tuned emissions, the role of Si atoms played in the
nonconventional luminophores is highlighted. This review may provide new
insights into the design of nonconventional luminescent materials and
expand their further applications in sensing, biomedicine, lighting
devices, etc.
A Lattice-Boltzmann model for simulating bedform-induced hyporheic exchange

Published: October 2023

The Lattice-Boltzmann (LB) method is applied here for the first time to
simulate bedform-induced hyporheic exchange flow in a reduced complexity
model. The flexibility of the LB allows surface and hyporheic flows to
be resolved together, in contrast to other approaches for similar model
domains, in which surface flow is usually solved independently, and then
the solution of the surface flow provides the boundary conditions to
model the hyporheic exchange flow. At the same time, the superior
computational efficiency of LB allows the use of Large Eddy Simulations
within transient simulations. Numerical results show a faithful
reproduction of pressure along the bedform surface—especially, the
pressure drop leeward to the dune. Results also show
short-time-dependent phenomena which were previously described only in
the context of DNS studies over reduced-size computational domains.
Short-time-dependent phenomena include pressure oscillations and
time-dependence of hyporheic zone morphology, with the latter eventually
extending beyond the limits of a single bedform element.
Global distribution changes in coccolithophore blooms
Authors: Duncan Eliza K , Clewley Daniel , Smyth Timothy James
Published: October 2023

The global distribution of high Remote-sensing reflectance (Rrs) waters
visible from satellite, likely associated with coccolithophore blooms,
has changed markedly over the past 40 years. Over that period there has
globally been an overall decrease in bloom area of 1.15 million km2 but
with notable Rrs increases in the Barents Sea and the Antarctic Ocean.
The primary drivers of these fundamental changes to ocean
biogeochemistry have been investigated using Machine Learning techniques
together with contemporaneous global multi-decadal time-series of
sea-surface temperature (SST); wind speed and stress; sea level anomaly
(SLA); photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) and; mixed layer
depth (MLD). When split into ocean provinces different drivers of
positive and negative trends in Rrs were found to dominate in different
regions, but generally increases were found to coincide with changes to
SST, PAR and reductions to wind-speed.
Sensitivity of GNSS-Derived Estimates of Terrestrial Water Storage to Assumed Earth Structure
Authors: Swarr Matthew Jacob , Martens Hilary Rose , Fu Yuning
Published: October 2023

Geodetic methods can monitor changes in terrestrial water storage (TWS)
across large regions in near real-time. Here, we investigate the effect
of assumed Earth structure on TWS estimates derived from Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) displacement time series. Through a
series of synthetic tests, we systematically explore how the spatial
wavelength of water load affects the error of TWS estimates. Large loads
(e.g., >1000 km) are well recovered regardless of the
assumed Earth model. For small loads (e.g., <10 km), however,
errors can exceed 75% when an incorrect model for the Earth is chosen.
As a case study, we consider the sensitivity of seasonal TWS estimates
within mountainous watersheds of the western U.S., finding estimates
that differ by over 13% for a collection of common global and regional
structural models. Errors in the recovered water load generally scale
with the total weight of the load; thus, long-term changes in storage
can produce significant uplift (subsidence) enhancing errors. We
demonstrate that regions experiencing systematic and large-scale
variations in water storage, such as the Greenland ice sheet, exhibit
significant differences in predicted displacement (over 20 mm) depending
on the choice of Earth model. Since the discrepancies exceed GNSS
observational precision, an appropriate Earth model must be adopted when
inverting GNSS observations for mass changes in these regions.
Furthermore, regions with large-scale mass changes that can be
quantified using independent data (e.g., altimetry, gravity) present
opportunities to use geodetic observations to refine structural
deficiencies of seismologically derived models for the Earth’s interior
structure.
