missão desfetichizadora da arte na estética de György Lukács
Authors: Barreto Doralice de Lima
Published: August 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar a função social da arte no contexto capitalista a partir de György Lukács. Em sua obra Estética I: a peculiaridade do estético, publicada em 1963, o filósofo húngaro busca analisar a gênese do fato estético, como a arte surge na história da humanidade. Mais que uma análise histórica, Lukács faz uma análise da categoria primordial para essa gênese, o trabalho. Aliado à linguagem, o trabalho é categoria fundante da consciência humana, e junto aos outros fatores, como a mímesis, magia e religião, torna a arte possível, elevando cada vez mais a capacidade humana de refletir sobre si e sobre o mundo circundante. Esta apresentação não se aterá ao processo de separação e desenvolvimento da mímesis artística em detrimento da magia. Essa superação ocorreu num dado momento histórico e concede lugar à ampliação da consciência do ser humano e seu desenvolvimento na arte e na ciência. Contudo, se faz necessário esclarecer o conceito mimético, para melhor compreensão do seu resgate no pensamento lukácsiano. Partindo desse ponto, lançar-se-á um olhar sobre a arte enquanto reflexo da realidade que se configura no aqui e agora da sociedade. Para o filósofo, a arte possui a capacidade de refletir a realidade, o aqui e agora do momento histórico, ou, como ele mesmo diz, utilizando a expressão latina, o hinc et nunc. Desde a gênese e em todo o desenvolvimento da sociedade, a arte cumpre sua função dentro do contexto social em direção à autoconsciência humana. Tal função é demonstrada pela possibilidade da evocação da realidade objetiva. Pautando nessa definição, é que, a seguir, será tratado o tema da arte frente à realidade social do capitalismo, na tentativa de compreender a arte como desfetichizadora, ou seja, capaz de retirar o ser humano da heterogeneidade para a homogeneidade. Sendo assim, para Lukács, cabe à arte retirá-lo da condição fragmentada da cotidianidade e colocá-lo em contato com o gênero humano.
pintura de Tato Carboni
Authors: Bitencourt Amauri Carboni
Published: August 2024

Este texto apresenta aspectos da biografia de Tato Carboni. Exercendo a arte da pintura desde 1997, o artista, inicialmente, procurou pintar temas diversos e nas mais diferentes técnicas. Iniciou sua obra pintando temas diversos, incluindo naturezas, florais, animais, cenas humanas e abstratos. Experimentou a tinta a óleo, mas logo começou a se expressar com tinta acrílica, que passou a ser a técnica predominante em sua arte. Além destas, usou aquarela, têmpera, carvão e lápis grafite. Seu suporte preferido é a tela. Até a conclusão da tese de doutoramento, em 2014, assinava seus quadros como Amauri Carboni Bitencourt Foi por meio de sua pesquisa no período de formação acadêmica - sobre o olhar e a passividade na pintura, presentes nas teorias do filósofo Maurice Merleau-Ponty -, que estabeleceu outra relação com a arte, passando, assim, a assinar suas obras pelo nome de Tato Carboni. Nosso ensejo é, pois, mostrar este percurso do professor-artista e descrever suas diferentes interfaces com outras linguagens, a participação em exposições, publicações de poemas e o projeto de pintura que desenvolve com os estudantes. Como pano de fundo teórico, utilizaremos a teoria estética-fenomenológica de Maurice Merleau-Ponty.
Masterman e a análise do conceito kuhniano de paradigma
Authors: Antunes Filho Ericson Divaldo
Published: August 2024

O presente artigo pretende analisar e investigar as interpretações de Margaret Masterman sobre a noção de paradigma em Thomas Kuhn durante a década de 60, período onde o conceito emergiu e ganhou certa popularidade dentre as discussões em filosofia da ciência. A necessidade de atenção ao conceito se deve às confusões que surgiram pelas múltiplas formas como Kuhn utiliza o termo nas suas descrições acerca da natureza da ciência durante A Estrutura das Revoluções Científicas (1962). Masterman, em A natureza de um paradigma (1965), indica várias situações nas quais os diferentes usos do termo puderam ser reunidos em três perspectivas: paradigmas metafísicos, paradigmas sociológicos e paradigmas de artefato. Essas identificações buscam relacionar os usos do termo “paradigma” durante A Estrutura das Revoluções Científicas, procurando um melhor entendimento da noção que Kuhn desenvolve, visto que as suas mais de vinte referências distintas geraram problemas para o autor acerca do que significava o termo paradigma, quais eram as intenções do uso no contexto e pensamento de Kuhn e como entendê-lo como necessário para a maturidade do conhecimento. Busca-se entender as interpretações de Masterman e relacioná-las com dois textos posteriores onde Kuhn desdobrou e tentou resolver os problemas criados pelo uso de seu termo em circunstâncias distintas. Nestes textos, as próprias divisões que Kuhn utiliza para esclarecer o conceito de paradigma podem ser relacionadas em alguns aspectos com as descrições que Masterman utilizou, como aspectos epistemológicos, sociológicos e metafísicos. Os textos de referência para os esclarecimentos de Kuhn são seu Posfácio (1969) e Reconsiderações acerca dos paradigmas (1974). Investiga-se a possibilidade de Masterman ter motivado alguns esclarecimentos que Kuhn realizou nessas obras, visto a sua compreensão sobre a ciência normal, o principal papel do conceito de paradigma, a saber, a resolução de quebra-cabeças e o uso análogo do paradigma, ou seja, a utilização da realização concreta como base para um modo de ver.
Boal e as raízes subversivas do teatro do oprimido
Authors: Tortato Christiano , Antunes Jadir
Published: August 2024

Augusto Boal (1931-2009) ficou conhecido mundialmente por ter desenvolvido algumas técnicas, até então inéditas, que compõem a poética do Teatro do Oprimido. Além de diretor e dramaturgo, Boal foi também escritor, pensador e (por que não?!) filósofo. Escreveu várias obras, nas quais acaba dissertando sobre, e também dialogando com, as ideias de alguns pensadores clássicos da história da Filosofia, dentre eles: Platão, Aristóteles, Maquiavel, Hegel e Marx, além de transitar pela história e pelos mais variados ramos da arte (teatro, literatura, poesia, música, pintura, cinema, etc.) e da ciência, como por exemplo, a neurologia. Por ser considerado subversivo, acabou sendo exilado no período da ditadura militar. Uma figura um tanto quanto excêntrica, pois apesar de ter se graduado em Química, acabou reconhecido internacionalmente como “Embaixador do Teatro Mundial” pela Unesco (2009). A Poética do Oprimido elaborada por Boal é, também, uma poética política. Poética política subversiva, pois as técnicas desenvolvidas para o Teatro do Oprimido expõem um caminho estético-pedagógico rumo à transformação dos espectadores (seres passivos) em espect-atores (seres ativos) e, assim, criam-se possibilidades para que o abismo reinante entre atores e espectadores seja superado e o palco profanado. O grande objetivo de Boal, segundo os seus próprios escritos, seria propiciar para todos os oprimidos condições para uma mudança significativa em suas vidas, quem sabe, um ensaio, para a mais bela atuação: uma revolução. Nesse sentido, a classe trabalhadora, expropriada dos meios de produção do trabalho e também dos meios de produção estéticos, poderia contar com mais um elemento para a organização programática de suas lutas cotidianas, o teatro, que poderia vir a ser um te-ato, uma manifestação artística dedicada e vinculada a uma transformação social profunda. Esse caminho, nos instiga a uma investigação sobre a relação entre a obra conceitual elaborada e vivenciada por Augusto Boal com a obra conceitual elaborada e vivenciada por Karl Marx.
Controvérsia e conhecimento em Leibniz
Authors: Bonneau Cristiano
Published: August 2024

A coletânea lançada em língua portuguesa de diversos opúsculos de Leibniz, com o nome bem definido de “A Arte das controvérsias” (com a organização e a disposição publicada pelo trabalho de Marcelo Dascal), nos permite o acesso a importantes opiniões, insights, posições éticas, políticas e teológicas, bem como de noções completas contidas em sua obra acerca da filosofia e suas repercussões; há, com muita clareza e propriedade, uma proposta teórico-metodológica que consiste em sistematizar o conhecimento humano e as ciências, afirmando e direcionando suas utilidades e funções em todos os terrenos possíveis da vida prática. Esse texto se propõe a demonstrar a importância do aspecto da controvérsia e das disputas filosóficas na construção do arcabouço teórico de Leibniz. Estamos no encalço da filosofia leibniziana preocupada com as formas de negociação entre distintos pontos de vista e conciliação entre a existência das distintas maneiras pelas quais o pensamento se manifesta, consolidando uma ars disputandi, através do desenvolvimento tanto da ars inveniendi como da ars judicandi. Pretendemos, dessa forma, demonstrar como Leibniz procura conciliar propostas filosóficas díspares e concorrentes de mundo e, ainda, como a razão torna-se a grande engrenagem desse movimento de trazer à luz os mais diversos pontos de vista sobre um determinado tema fundamental para o desenvolvimento humano.
Lisa Feldman y la Teoría Constructiva de las Emociones: una crítica a partir de la propuesta fenomenológica de Jean Paul Sartre
Authors: Melchor González José Mario
Published: August 2024

Desde hace unos años se ha tratado de clasificar las emociones presuponiendo su existencia fuera de los contextos en los que surgen. En este trabajo se realiza un análisis entre la propuesta de Lisa Feldman sobre la Teoría Constructiva de las Emociones, frente a la crítica sartriana que busca entender las emociones desde una mirada fenomenológica. Este análisis revisa cómo se interrelacionan ambas posturas para, después, delimitar las áreas en las que podrían colaborar, pues ambas parten de la interpretación contextual que tienen los humanos de su realidad para la definición de sus estados emocionales y buscan promover un acercamiento más vivencial a la identificación de las emociones. Consideramos que Feldman por lo menos omite lo que anteriormente Sartre había propuesto, es decir, que se requería una visión fenomenológica para la búsqueda de significado en las emociones; en este sentido, buscamos mostrar cómo las ideas de Sartre complementan la visión de Feldman.
"Láseres ablativos fraccionales en patología dermoestética"
Authors: Alcolea López Justo Miguel , Hernández Torres Estefanía , Trelles Mario A.
Published: August 2024

Los láseres fraccionales ablativos, de dióxido de carbono (CO₂) y erbio: itrio-aluminio-granate (Er:YAG), tienen su fundamento en su capacidad de dañar selectivamente la epidermis, la dermis o ambas de la piel envejecida en dependencia de la dosimetría programada. Tienen la particularidad de dejar indemnes pequeñas áreas de piel entre los impactos de láser, cuya finalidad es recuperar la piel de forma más rápida y con menos efectos secundarios. A tenor de lo expuesto, el desarrollo de láseres Er:YAG surgió como alternativa a los láseres CO₂. No obstante, su menor efecto térmico residual implica menos efectividad en la remodelación del colágeno. Cada uno de los láseres estudiados tienen características que les son propias, y que deben conocerse bien, para evitar riesgos y efectos adversos ligados a un empleo incorrecto. El tratamiento del envejecimiento cutáneo se correlaciona bien con la irradiación láser sobre el tejido diana, el tamaño del spot y el tiempo de incidencia del haz de fotones. La adecuada combinación de estos parámetros, atendiendo a la longitud de onda de emisión de cada láser, número o solapamiento de pases según el área tratada proporcionará buenos resultados, acordes con la patología tratada. La elección del paciente, teniendo en cuenta el tipo y localización de las lesiones a tratar, es la clave del éxito. No hay que olvidar la preparación previa de la piel antes de ser sometida a la acción de láseres CO₂ o Er:YAG, ni tampoco los cuidados posteriores; poniendo énfasis en evitar posibles alteraciones pigmentarias o cicatrices postquirúrgicas. El progreso tecnológico en el desarrollo de nuevos sistemas proporciona ventajas adicionales al empleo de estos láseres fraccionales, evitando complicaciones innecesarias. Sin embargo, la nueva tecnología no exime de adquirir una adecuada formación en la práctica ni del estudio de la interacción láser-tejido.

Os resultados mostraram alta precisão na identificação de diferentes tipos de cobertura vegetal (índice Kappa ? 0,835 e índice de similaridade 0,901). Os modelos com mais variáveis apresentaram maior precisão e as imagens classificadas conseguiram captar mudanças na cobertura do solo relacionadas à dinâmica agrícola. Além disso, a importância de cada banda no resultado das classificações pôde ser analisada
Uma análise da endodontia convencional e da dependência de novas tecnologias na prática da endodontia minimamente invasiva
Authors: Soriano Silva Anna Beatriz , De Oliveira Camilla , Gonoring Hehr Luísa , dos Santos de Paula Kiani , Caus Pereira Alves Rúbia
Published: August 2024

Endodontic treatment is essential for the therapeutic success of pulp and periapical diseases. One of the treatment stages, endodontic access involves removing carious tissue to reach the pulp cavity and prepare the root canals. The emerging approach of minimally invasive endodontics aims to preserve dentin to the maximum extent, including different types of accesses such as traditional, conservative, and ultraconservative. The traditional approach causes more dental wear, as it involves removing the roof of the pulp chamber, while the minimally invasive approach faces challenges such as canal visualization and disinfection, often requiring microscopes, ultrasound, or other technologies. The study aimed to review the literature to clarify the challenges and technological dependence of minimally invasive accesses, utilizing articles from databases such as PubMed, Bireme, and SciELO from the last 13 years (2010-2023). Inclusion criteria comprised literature reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, in vitro studies, case studies, master's dissertations, and doctoral theses, while exclusion criteria included articles outside the temporal range, undergraduate theses, monographs, articles not available in full, and those not related to the theme. The comparison between minimally invasive and traditional access cavities reveals conflicting results. Some studies suggest that minimally invasive accesses do not increase fracture resistance, while others indicate benefits. The detection of root canals is challenging in the use of minimally invasive access, and the use of auxiliary technologies can improve the effectiveness of the conservative approach.

Theoretical Study of the Efficiency of Benzo-Phenoxazinone Derivatives in Aqueous Medium to Serve as Effective Organic Corrosion Inhibitors of Mild Steel
Authors: Ojo Francis K. , Ogunyemi Babatunde T. , Awunor Onyeka O.
Published: August 2024

The use of inhibitors is one of the most practical methods to protect metals against corrosion, especially in acidic media. Quantum chemical calculations using Austin Model 1 (AM1) semi-empirical method were performed to find the relation between the molecular structure of the inhibitor and the inhibition efficiency and it also compared the inhibition efficiency of benzo-phenoxazinone derivatives with other known organic inhibitor compounds. The following quantum chemical indices were considered: The energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (EHOMO), the energy of the lowest occupied molecular orbital (ELUMO), separation energy (ELUMO-EHOMO), dipole moment (µ), Log P, and polarizability of the various benzo-phenoxazinone derivatives. The calculated quantum chemical indices confirm that the benzo-phenoxazinone derivatives are potentially effective corrosion inhibitors. The calculated quantum chemical indices also confirm that the benzo-phenoxazinone derivatives actually possess inhibiting properties which are generally more efficient than those of the other known organic inhibitors used in oil and gas systems.
EVALUATION OF REMAINING MATERIALS FOR RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Authors: Atiko Putri Ni'mah Izati , Malaiholo David , Astuti Septiana Widi
Published: August 2024

This study investigates residual materials in the railway construction project. The Fishbone Diagram method identifies factors causing material waste, while the Waste Hierarchy guides material management by contractors. The remaining materials include spun piles, ballast stopper cover plates, wiremesh, concrete pad anchoring systems, and PVC pipes. The quantities are 1306.5 meters of spun pile, 86 ballast stopper cover plates, 4 wire mesh sheets, and a concrete pad anchoring system with 160 e-clips, 160 insulators, 80 rail pads, and 7 pieces of 6-inch diameter PVC pipe, along with 13 pieces of 8-inch diameter PVC pipe. The largest remaining material costs come from spun piles. Fishbone Diagram analysis categorizes the construction material waste as direct waste. Poor cutting conditions cause waste in spun piles, PVC pipes, and wire mesh. Waste Hierarchy suggests reusing materials where possible, with leftover PVC pipes suitable for recycling into pots or home decorations. Disposal is necessary for non-reusable or non-recyclable materials.
Repast: A collective autoethnographic process of meaning making
Authors: Viren Vejoya , Espinosa-Dulanto Miryam , Lewis Karin , Lerma Eunice
Published: August 2024

For over six years, our writing collective has drawn upon our multivarious experiences and existence to examine and question our presence, purpose, motivation, and place at an HSI at the USA Mexico border. We thrive in our plurality and our disparate discourses have created an enduring sense and space of safety and belonging. However, this sense/space is not impervious and events as monumental as the global pandemic, as horrific as the images of wars, as devastating as the ravages of climate change, as destabilizing as divisive politics, as personal as new professional expectations, all have become intrinsic part of our bearings and may strain as our commitment to continue dialoging is challenged.
The Decolonial Offerings of Collaborative Autoethnography with the Nahui Ollin
Authors: Davalos Emily , Jadue Valentina , Pérez Ibarra Michelle
Published: August 2024

Our stories do not speak for everyone, and they were never intended to. However, weaving our stories adds strength and weight to reclaiming the knowledge and ways of being that colonization sought to destroy. We used collaborative autoethnography (CAE) because it strengthens the power of a single story by weaving it with others to cultivate their medicine (Chang, Ngunjiri, and Hernandez 2016). When used with a decolonial framework, CAE can disrupt settler colonial logics and whiteness (Davalos 2021). Additionally, CAE with a decolonial framework challenges hegemonic power structures by disrupting dominant ideologies and power differentials in research as well as by reclaiming our generative knowledge with the land (Davalos 2021).

Published: August 2024

Our collective reflection communicates perspectives from four leaders of the Developing Effective Bilingual Educators with Resources (DEBER) Project. DEBER is an inter-institutional bilingual teacher preparation program in the Cali-Baja borderlands sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Postsecondary Education. DEBER goals include supporting the transfer processes for prospective bilingual teachers (scholars) from community colleges to undergraduate programs as well as the completion of a postbaccalaureate teacher credential program. DEBER leaders design, implement and evaluate ongoing advisement as well as professional development learning opportunities for scholars. Leadership in DEBER is operationalized via ad-hoc working groups. We are four of the seven members that comprise the research and evaluation workgroup. We are bilingual, biliterate, and binational doctoral students, faculty members, researchers, and evaluators at Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) that are designated as Hispanic-serving Institutions (HSIs). In consideration of the geospatial context of the San Diego-Tijuana region where DEBER is implemented, we critically reflect how DEBER’s ways of knowing, being, and valuing affirmed scholars’ bilingual, biliterate and binational identities in Eurocentric, white-supremacist, monolingual IHEs. The following collective reflections draw from our individual reflections and memos, audio-recordings of group dialogue and excerpts from “I’m From” poems written with and for our DEBER Scholars.
Honoring Rasquachismo in el Teatro
Authors: Domínguez Adriana
Published: August 2024

Supremacist, hierarchical and European ideology has dominated the field of theatrical study and performance, dictating process, learning, and purpose. Shakespeare, Ibsen, Chekov, and Sophocles are often implemented in university theater programs as essential points of study and professional training without hesitation. Although these white men were part of the development of the traditional theater that is commonly accepted, they are not the only contributors to the art form. The notion that theater only “exists” once white men have explored it has led to a narrowing of the understanding and appreciation of work in the field. The exclusionary process of colonized theater must be challenged as this structure only serves to assign validity, resources, and viability to a narrow subset of the art form (Elliot and Dias 2018). This narrowing of the field is often only performatively combated; although theatrical training programs insist that they are expanding their programming, limited diverse theatrical contributions are showcased in educational settings (Ybarra 2018).
CHALLENGE OF EDUCATORS IN TIMES OF REMOTE TEACHING
Authors: Silva Ana Paula Teixeira da , Coutinho Diogenes José Gusmão
Published: August 2024

The present work addresses the challenges faced by educators during the remote teaching period, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. The rapid transition from the face-to-face to the virtual environment has brought numerous difficulties for education professionals. First, we discuss technological adaptation, since many educators needed to acquire new skills and competencies to use online teaching platforms and digital tools. Lack of adequate training and familiarity with educational technologies were crucial issues in this shift. In addition, we address social and educational inequalities aggravated by remote teaching. The lack of access to the internet and adequate devices in underprivileged communities resulted in an imbalance in access to education, creating a worrying scenario for educational inclusion. Another relevant point was the challenge of student engagement. The presence of face-to-face interaction and the difficulties in establishing a meaningful connection with students in the virtual environment impacted motivation and interest in educational activities. The work also highlights the increased workload for educators. The transition to remote learning follows extreme dedication and a balance between work and personal life. The need to prepare classes adapted to the digital environment and constant communication with students and families created additional challenges.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PLAYFUL ACTIVITIES IN SPECIAL EDUCATION
Authors: Silva Ana Paula Teixeira da , Coutinho Diogenes José Gusmão
Published: August 2024

The article that is now presented is the result of bibliographical research, carried out from studies anchored in the scope of Special Education. Thus, we approach several ludic practices in special education with an emphasis on inclusion that facilitate work and perception, encouraging better learning in relation to the child who has learning difficulties. Therefore, this article aims to present the importance of playfulness in the teacher's work, as well as to show the importance of playfulness in teaching activities and its contributions to learning and the integral development of the student. We emphasize that it is of essential importance to understand that playing for children can be more than a daily activity, being a source of knowledge linked to their integral development. After all, while playing, the child pretends, imagines, frees himself, learns to control his aggression and overcome his fears. In this way, games can provide socialization and obedience to rules, in addition to facilitating mathematical logical reasoning. Therefore, it is of fundamental importance to use the ludic as a way of teaching, developing the best in the ability to absorb different contents in the child's daily life.
Relationship between intraseasonal oscillations and abnormal rainfall in Vietnam
Authors: Thanh Cong , Doan Quang-Van , Quan Doan Hong , Tuan Do-Anh
Published: August 2024

Abstract. Vietnam's summer monsoon season are charaterised by intense rainfall, driven by dynamic intraseasonal oscillations such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation (BSISO). Located near the equator with diverse terrain, the country presents a unique case for studying how these atmospheric mechanisms interact with local geography, influencing both the timing and spatial distribution of extreme rainfall events. Despite this, gaps remain in understanding the detailed coupled impact mechanisms that hinder the accurate prediction of abnormal rainfall over the region. This study pioneers an exploration into the interconnected dynamics of abnormal rainfall occurrences and coupled activities of BSISO and MJO in Vietnam. Using association analysis of abnormal events, detected from remote sensing gridded rainfall database, within conditional probability analysis framework, our findings reveal distinct seasonal patterns: during summer, North and South Vietnam experience primary impacts, whereas Central Vietnam becomes more susceptible during autumn. Notably, BSISO phases 3 and 5 dominate the summer landscape, while MJO phases exhibit balanced occurrence frequencies throughout the season. Probability assessments highlight phase 7 of BSISO in July and phases 6–7 in August as periods of heightened extreme rainfall probability in North and South Vietnam, contrasting with phases 5–8 in Central Vietnam. Additionally, MJO phase 5 emerges as a focal point for intensified extreme rainfall in October, alongside notable increases in phases 3–4 during September. This comprehensive analysis enhances our understanding of the complex interactions shaping Vietnam's monsoonal rainfall dynamics, offering valuable insights for future studies levaraging the two intraseasonal osciliations mechanisms to explain and predict abnormal heavey rainfall in Vietnam.

Abstract. Hydrogen and oxygen-stable isotopes are widely used as tracers of the water cycle, and surface water is an integral part of the water cycle. Compared with other water bodies, surface water is more susceptible to different natural and anthropogenic factors, and an accurate understanding of surface water changes is of great significance in ensuring regional water security, maintaining ecological balance, and promoting sustainable economic and social development. Due to the influence of observation conditions and instrumental analysis, global surface water isotopes' spatial and temporal distribution could be more balanced worldwide. For this reason, we have compiled and analyzed the stable hydrogen and oxygen isotope data in surface water from 22432 sampling stations worldwide from 1956 to 2023, with 102862 data records. The results found that (1) surface water stable isotopes are gradually depleted from the equator to the poles and from the coast to the interior. However, there are significant differences in the spatial and temporal distributions of surface water isotopes in different regions. (2) The variation of stable isotopes in surface water is controlled by geographic location, topographic conditions, and meteorological factors (especially temperature), and its heterogeneity is considerable. The global stable isotope dataset of surface water provides vital information for an in-depth understanding of the water cycle and climate change. It can provide essential data references for global water resource management and research. The Global Surface Water Stable Isotope Dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.17632/fs7rwp7fpr.1 (Zhu, 2024).

Abstract. Accurately quantifying global mass changes at the Earth’s surface is essential for understanding climate system dynamics and their evolution. Satellite gravimetry, as realized with the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) missions, is the only currently operative remote sensing system that can track large-scale mass variations, making it a unique monitoring opportunity for various geoscientific disciplines. To facilitate easy accessibility of GRACE/GRACE-FO results also beyond the geodetic community, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) developed the Gravity Information Service (GravIS) portal (https://gravis.gfz-potsdam.de). This work aims to introduce the user-friendly mass anomaly products provided at GravIS that are specifically processed for hydrology, glaciology, and oceanography applications. These mass change data, available in both a gridded representation and as time series for predefined regions, are routinely updated as new monthly GRACE/GRACE-FO gravity field models become available. The associated GravIS web portal visualizes and describes the products, demonstrating their usefulness for various studies and applications in geosciences. Together with GFZ’s complementary information portal globalwaterstorage.info, GravIS supports widening the dissemination of knowledge about satellite gravimetry in science and society and highlights the significance and contributions of the GRACE/GRACE-FO missions for understanding changes in the climate system.

Abstract. This paper tests a multivariate statistical model to simulate rainfall dependent susceptibility scenarios of shallow landslides. To this end, extreme rainfall events spanning from 1977 to 2021 in the Orba basin (a study area of 505 km2 located in Piedmont, northern Italy), have been considered. First of all, the role of conditioning and triggering factors on the spatial pattern of shallow landslides in areas with complex geological conditions is analysed by comparing their spatial distribution and their influence within logistic regression models, with results showing that rainfall and specific lithological and geomorphological conditions exert the strongest control on the spatial pattern of landslide. Different rainfall-based scenarios were then modelled using logistic regression models trained on different combinations of past events and evaluated using an ensemble of performance metrics. Models calibrated on multi-events outperform the ones based on a single event, since they are capable of compensating for local misleading effects that can arise from the use of a single rainfall event. The best performing developed model considers all the landslide triggering rainfall scenarios and two non-triggering intense rainfall events, with a score of 0.90 out of 1 on the multi-criteria TOPSIS-based performance index. Finally, a new approach based on misclassification costs is proposed to account for false negatives and false positives in the predicted susceptibility maps. Overall, this approach based on a multi-event calibration and on a misclassification costs analysis shows promise in producing rainfall dependent shallow landslide susceptibility scenarios that could be used for hazard analyses, early warning systems and to assist decision-makers in developing risk mitigation strategies.

Published: August 2024

In today’s era, nations are excelling in trade competitiveness and a paradigm shift has already taken place from the narrative of comparative advantage to competitive advantage. A profitable opportunity is present for the agriculture-driven economy to incorporate product diversification & repositioning of agri. commodities to transform competitiveness into a sustainable positional asset. Pakistan is underperforming as far as its export potential is concerned. This study uses revealed competitive advantage (RCA), relative competitiveness (RC) & relative trade advantage index (RTA) to examine different categories of agri. export from 2001 to 2021, using secondary data from credible trade data sources. Rice, dates, mangoes & citrus have demonstrated strong competitive advantages whereas maize, millet & dairy have disadvantages. The blessed comparative advantage in agricultural products marks the untapped potential of foreign earnings. The realignment of agricultural exports on modern footing is needed for export expansion. The study suggested incorporating modern techniques of harvesting and improved SPS measures to avoid unnecessary post-harvest marketable surplus losses. Value addition, structural changes in crop management and provision of marketing extension services are vital for improving export share, generating business opportunities and reducing trade deficit. The current study concludes that Pakistan, as an agriculturally based economy, has a great potential for higher growth of these products; as a result, Pakistan may be able to generate more foreign exchange from these agricultural products.

Fall is the leading cause of disability and mortality due to unintentional injury in older adults. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with knee pain, fear of falling, and quality of life among community-dwelling older adults in Northern Thailand. A cross-sectional study was conducted among older adults aged 60 and over. A total of 369 participants were enrolled from April to May 2024. Oxford knee score, a short version of the Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I) and World Health Organization quality of life-BREF-Thai, was measured. The results showed that the mean age was 69.4 years and 47 (12.7%) had a history of falls in the previous year. The prevalence of fear of falling was 39.3% for low, 22.5% for moderate, and 38.2% for high concern. Age, marital status, alcohol, history of falls, hypertension, arthritis, and osteoporosis were associated with fear of falling. After adjusting to age, gender, body mass index, education, marital status, smoking, alcohol, history of falls, and chronic disease, osteoarthritis of the knee was positively associated with increasing fear of falling (β: 0.361; p<0.001), while quality of life was negatively associated with fear of falling (β: -0.064; p<0.011). In conclusion, the identified determinants of fear of falling among the elderly indicated the need for fear of falling prevention programs targeting not only individual lifestyles but also chronic diseases. This study provides useful information that might help to develop and adopt effective policies for fear of falling control in Thailand.
