Contrasting responses of phytoplankton productivity between coastal and offshore surface waters in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea to short-term seawater acidification
Authors: Gao Guang , Wang Tifeng , Sun Jiazhen , Zhao Xin , Wang Lifang , Guo Xianghui , Gao Kunshan
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Seawater acidification (SA) has been documented to either inhibit, enhance, or result in no effect on marine primary productivity (PP). In order to examine the effects of SA in changing environments, we investigated the influences of SA (a decrease of 0.4 pHtotal units with corresponding CO2 concentrations in the range of 22.0–39.7 µM) on PP through deck-incubation experiments at 101 stations in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, including the continental shelf and slope, as well as the deep-water basin. The daily primary productivities in surface seawater under incident solar radiation ranged from 17–306 µg C (µg Chl a)−1 d−1, with the responses of PP to SA being region-dependent and the SA-induced changes varying from −88 % (inhibition) to 57 % (enhancement). The SA treatment stimulated PP in surface waters of coastal, estuarine, and shelf waters but suppressed it in the South China Sea basin. Such SA-induced changes in PP were significantly related to in situ pH and solar radiation in surface seawater but negatively related to salinity changes. Our results indicate that phytoplankton cells are more vulnerable to a pH drop in oligotrophic waters. Contrasting responses of phytoplankton productivity in different areas suggest that SA impacts on marine primary
productivity are region-dependent and regulated by local environments.
Predictability of rainfall induced-landslides: The case study of Western Himalayan Region
Authors: Das Swadhi Ritumbara , Ganguli Poulomi
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Landslides are one of the natural hazards that are most prominent in tectonically active regions, such as mountainous terrains of the Himalayas. The Himalayan region is vulnerable to landslides due to its fragile lithology, steep slopes, geology, rainfall patterns, and high topographical roughness. Among several factors responsible for slope instability, rainfall is one of the significant drivers that cause a maximum number of landslides. However, very few studies have explored precipitation-induced landslide susceptibility of the Himalayan region due to observational constraints. This study attempts to fill the gaps in the literature by developing a power-law relationship between the maximum rainfall intensity that potentially triggers landslides and the corresponding event duration of selected ‘hotspot’ locations across the Western Himalayan Region (hereafter WHR) that are highly susceptible to landslides. We identified more than 500 landslide events between 2007 and 2016 based on the landslide inventory database, which suggests more than 70 % of landslide events are clustered during the southwest monsoon season. Further, we show an increase in rainfall in recent decades (2007–16) over low elevated areas of the WHR compared to the long-term climatology (1988–2006), revealing intensification of rain events, which could amplify landslide occurrence. Our observational assessment suggests around 28 % of landslides events are followed by within a week of occurrence of triggering rain events. The regionalization of the maximum intensity of triggering rain events versus the corresponding event duration shows that the tail of the triggering rain events tends to follow a power-law relationship with a robust positive exponent of more than one, suggesting synchronicity between two variables. The derived insights would aid in the predictability of shallow-to-deep rain-induced landslide events and inform climate adaptations in steep-slope areas.
Daytime along-valley winds in the Himalayas as simulated by the WRF–model
Authors: Mikkola Johannes , Sinclair Victoria , Bister Marja , Bianchi Federico
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Local valley winds in four major valleys on the southern slope of the Nepal Himalayas are studied by means of high resolution meteorological modelling. The Weather Research and Forecasting model is run with a 1 km horizontal grid spacing covering a 5 day period in December 2014. Model evaluation against meteorological observations from three automatic weather stations in Khumbu valley (one of the four valleys) shows a good agreement between the modelled and observed daily cycle of the near-surface wind speed and direction. Well defined daytime up-valley winds are found in all of the four valleys. The night-time along-valley winds are weak in magnitude and flow mostly in the up-valley direction. The diurnal cycle of the winds is interrupted more during the days with large-scale northerly winds than during the westerlies which is most likely due to channelling of the above-valley winds into the valley atmosphere. Differences in the daytime up-valley winds are found between the valleys and their parts. Since the valleys are under similar large-scale forcing, the differences are assumed to be due to differences in the valley topographies. Parts of the valleys with steep valley floor inclination (2–5 degrees) are associated with weaker and shallower daytime up-valley winds compared to the parts which have nearly flat valley floors (<1 degrees). In the four valleys, the ridge heights also increase along the valley, meaning that the valley floor inclination does not necessarily lead to a reduction in the volume of the valley atmosphere. This way the dominant driving mechanism of the along-valley winds could shift from the valley volume effect to buoyant forcing due to the inclination. Two of the valleys have a 1 km high barrier in their entrances between the valley and the plain. Winds at the valley entrances of these two valleys are weaker when comparing to the open valley entrances. Strong and shallow winds, resembling down-slope winds, are found on the lee-side slope of the barrier followed by weaker and deeper winds at the valley entrance, 20 km towards the valley from the barrier.
Implementation and evaluation of the unified stomatal optimization approach in the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES)
Authors: Li Qianyu , Serbin Shawn P. , Lamour Julien , Davidson Kenneth J. , Ely Kim S. , Rogers Alistair
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Stomata play a central role in regulating the exchange of carbon
dioxide and water vapor between ecosystems and the atmosphere. Their
function is represented in land surface models (LSMs) by conductance models.
The Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES) is a
dynamic vegetation demography model that can simulate both detailed plant
demographic and physiological dynamics. To evaluate the effect of stomatal
conductance model formulation on forest water and carbon fluxes in FATES, we
implemented an optimality-based stomatal conductance model – the Medlyn
(MED) model – that simulates the relationship between photosynthesis (A) and
stomatal conductance to water vapor (gsw) as an alternative to the FATES
default Ball–Woodrow–Berry (BWB) model. To evaluate how the behavior of
FATES is affected by stomatal model choice, we conducted a model sensitivity
analysis to explore the response of gsw to climate forcing, including
atmospheric CO2 concentration, air temperature, radiation, and vapor
pressure deficit in the air (VPDa). We found that modeled gsw values
varied greatly between the BWB and MED formulations due to the different
default stomatal slope parameters (g1). After harmonizing g1 and
holding the stomatal intercept parameter (g0) constant for both model
formulations, we found that the divergence in modeled gsw was limited to
conditions when the VPDa exceeded 1.5 kPa. We then evaluated model
simulation results against measurements from a wet evergreen forest in
Panama. Results showed that both the MED and BWB model formulations were
able to capture the magnitude and diurnal changes of measured gsw and A but underestimated both by about 30 % when the soil was
predicted to be very dry. Comparison of modeled soil water content from
FATES to a reanalysis product showed that FATES captured soil drying well,
but translation of drying soil to modeled physiology reduced the models'
ability to match observations. Our study suggests that the parameterization
of stomatal conductance models and current model response to drought are the
critical areas for improving model simulation of CO2 and water fluxes
in tropical forests.
A mixed distribution approach for low-flow frequency analysis – Part 1: concept, performance and effect of seasonality
Authors: Laaha Gregor
Published: June 2022

Abstract. In seasonal climates with a warm and a cold season, low-flows are generated by different processes so that the annual extreme series will be a mixture of summer and winter low-flow events. This leads to a violation of the homogeneity assumption for all statistics derived from the annual series and give rise to inaccurate conclusions. In this paper we propose a mixed distribution approach to perform frequency analysis in catchments with mixed low-flow regime. We formulate the theoretical basis of the mixed distribution approach for the lower extremes based on annual minima series. The main strength of the model is that it allows the user to estimate return periods of summer low-flows, winter low-flows and annual return periods in a theoretically sound and consistent way. Using prototypical examples, we show how the model behaves for a range of low-flow regimes, from distinct winter and summer regimes to mixed regimes where seasonal occurrence in summer and winter is equally likely. The examples show in a qualitative way the errors we have to expect with conventional extreme value statistics performed with the annual extremes series. The model is then applied to a comprehensive Austrian data set to quantify the expected gain of using the mixed distribution approach compared to conventional frequency analysis. Results indicate that the gain of using a mixed distribution approach is indeed large. On average, the error is reduced by 21, 39 and 63 % when estimating the low-flow with a 20-, 50- and 100-year return period. For the 100-year event, 75 % of stations show a performance gain of > 10 %, 41 % of stations > 50 % and 25 % of stations > 80.6. This suggests a much broader relevance of the approach that goes beyond highly mixed seasonal regimes to include the strongly seasonal ones. We finally correlate the performance gain with seasonality indices in order to show the expected gain conditional to the strength of seasonality expressed by the ratio of average summer and winter low flow SR. For the 100-year event, the expected gain is about 70 % for SR =1.0, 20 % for  SR = 1.5, and 10 % for SR = 2.0. The errors are further allocated to the spatial patterns of SR in the study area. The results suggest that the mixed estimator is relevant not only for mountain forelands but for a broad range of low flow regimes. The mixed distribution approach provides one consistent approach for summer, winter, and annual probabilities and should be used by default in seasonal climates with a cold winter season where summer and winter low flows can occur.
Assessing uncertainties in landslide susceptibility predictions in a changing environment (Styrian Basin, Austria)
Authors: Knevels Raphael , Petschko Helene , Proske Herwig , Leopold Philip , Mishra Aditya N. , Maraun Douglas , Brenning Alexander
Published: June 2022

Abstract. The assessment of uncertainties in landslide susceptibility modelling in a changing environment is an important, yet often neglected task. In an Austrian case study, we investigated the uncertainty cascade in storylines of landslide susceptibility emerging from climate change and parametric landslide model uncertainty. In June 2009, extreme events of heavy thunderstorms occurred in the Styrian basin, triggering thousands of landslides. Using a storyline approach, we discovered a generally lower landslide susceptibility for pre-industrial climate, while for future climate (2071–2100) a potential increase of 35 % in highly susceptible areas (storyline of much heavier rain) may be compensated by much drier soils (-45 % areas highly susceptible to landsliding). However, the estimated uncertainties in predictions were generally high. While uncertainties related to within-event internal climate model variability were substantially lower than parametric uncertainties of the landslide susceptibility model (ratio of around 0.25), parametric uncertainties were of the same order as the climate scenario uncertainty for the higher warming levels (+3 K and +4 K). We suggest that in future uncertainty assessments, an improved availability of event-based landslide inventories and high-resolution soil and precipitation data will help to reduce parametric uncertainties of landslide susceptibility models used to assess the impacts of climate change on landslide hazard and risk.
COVID-19 Lessons From The Field: Toward A Pediatric Physical Therapy Telehealth Framework
Authors: Daube Fishman Galia , Elkins Jeananne
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Telehealth is an established health service delivery method, yet little is known regarding pediatric physical therapy telehealth. We aimed to evaluate users’ experiences and create a framework for effective delivery. Methods: A pediatric physical therapists’ telehealth user survey was conducted. Results: Seventy-three respondents varied in years of experience and caseload. Most found telehealth easy to learn and use, and they believed the treatment they delivered was useful. Three main themes for successful treatments emerged and were organized into a framework for effective delivery: (1) caregivers’ involvement; (2) therapist telehealth ‘toolbox’ (sub-divided into: treatment management tools, and therapist-caregivers’ collaboration tools); and (3) telehealth client (child) characteristics. Conclusion: This study suggests a new framework for effective pediatric physical therapy telehealth delivery to support best practice, for use by administrators and therapists and recommends directions for further research.

Authors: Friedman Carli
Published: June 2022

Medicaid Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS) 1915(c) waivers are the largest funding mechanism for Long-Term Supports and Services (LTSS) for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in the United States. This study’s aim was to examine telehealth service provision in Medicaid HCBS waivers for people with IDD. We analyzed fiscal year 2021 Medicaid HCBS waivers for people with IDD and emergency Appendix K authorizations (2020-2022) to examine permanent and temporary use of telehealth respectively. The overwhelming majority of waivers (98.1%) temporarily permitted the use of telehealth service delivery for people with IDD. However, only a fraction (27.6%) permanently included the use of telehealth for people with IDD. The most prevalent types of services that permitted telehealth service delivery were: employment, day, and prevocational services; clinical and therapeutic services; and in-home and residential supports. When developing and implementing telehealth, it is important to consider the needs of people with IDD.

Published: June 2022

The government issued Government Regulation Number 9 of 2021 to improve the investment climate and accelerate economic recovery in Indonesia. One of the policies passed was a dividend tax. This study aims to analyze the policy strategy carried out by the Primary Tax Office of Menteng Dua, Jakarta to increase the number of investors by utilizing the dividend tax that has been made by the government. Data collection in this study was conducted through literature study, interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the analysis show that the dividend tax policy strategy carried out by the Primary Tax Office of Menteng Dua, Jakarta to increase the number of investors was to develop a culture that supports the strategy, create an effective organizational structure, direct marketing efforts policies, plan budgets, develop and empower information systems, and connect the employee and organizational performance. Although several strategies had been implemented, the implementation had not been optimal because due to the large number of taxpayers the tax office did not conduct a special campaign regarding dividend tax. The campaigns were carried out only through representative accounts without a special budget.

Published: June 2022

Taxes are the largest source of state revenue to meet routine state expenditures or finance national development. In the increasingly rapid development of information technology, various innovations have been created to facilitate human life. One of them is in the service sector. To improve the quality of tax services, the government created an online tax payment service system called Electronic Samsat or E-SAMSAT. E-SAMSAT is considered a solution for tax payment services, especially motor vehicle taxes, during the COVID-19 pandemic because it is faster and there is no need to queue, such as direct tax payment services at the SAMSAT office. However, unfortunately, many taxpayers have not taken advantage of these services. This is due to the administrative system, which is considered complicated, and people's digital literacy is still low. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative to describe this research in-depth. The results of this study are public participation in the payment of Motor Vehicle Taxes through E-Samsat Services during the Covid Pandemic at the North Jakarta Samsat Office, judging from the six participation criteria presented by Mangkunegara, that has gone quite well. The community as taxpayers has participated in implementing the E-SAMSAT service system. However, unfortunately, not all people can access these services. The service procedure is quite long, and the people's digital literacy level is still low, causing the community not to be able to take full advantage of the service system.
12 Labours Seminar Series (Platform 1): A framework for personalised Physiome modelling
Authors: Hunter Peter
Published: June 2022

Most human disease (chronic or susceptibility to a virus) seems to have about a 50:50 mix of genetic predisposition and 'environmental' (i.e. non-genetic) association. The MBIE-funded 12 Labours project is attempting to bring both of these factors to bear on three specific medical challenges (the three Exemplar Projects) by building three technology platforms - P1: multiscale modelling; P2: model-based clinical workflows; and P3: a common infrastructure for handing data from wearable and implantable devices.

The talk will address one aspect of this challenge for P1. Namely, how do we create a modelling infrastructure that can connect multiscale gene/protein/cell/tissue/organ models with anatomical systems that involve the whole body: the cardiovascular system, the autonomic nervous system, the enteric nervous system, the epithelial integumentary system, the lymphatic system, and the musculoskeletal system (for force transmission).

We certainly do not have all the answers to this challenge, but we are beginning to construct what we call 'functional connectivity' maps that we think will help link this whole body connectivity with our standards-based infrastructure for multiscale modelling (based on the CellML and FieldML standards that ABI has pioneered).
“The Most Unique and Spicy Volume in Existence”: A Picaresque Reappraisal of Mark Twain’s Innocents Abroad
Authors: Holbrook Myrial Adel
Published: June 2022

Mark Twain’s first book, The Innocents Abroad (1869), despite being the most widely sold of his works in his lifetime, often baffles more recent readers. Innocents tends to be seen as interruptive, unclassifiable, and valuable mostly as an antecedent to his later novels. Prominent Twain scholars Robert Gray Bruce and Hamlin Hill once belittled Innocents as a “patchwork scissors-and-paste job,” and Bruce Michelson remarks that the “narrative stance” of Innocents is a persistent “mystery and a cause of argument” to contemporary audiences. The author proposes that to appreciate Twain’s travelogue, we must situate it not in a picturesque or burlesque context (both traditional for most travelogues of the nineteenth century), but instead venture further back in the Western canon—to the classic Spanish picaresque. Drawing on the scholarship of Ulrich Wicks and Alexander Blackburn, she embarks on a comparative study of Lazarillo de Tormes (1554), the original picaresque text, and Innocents, making a particular focus on the respective narrators and their use of the aside. She argues that Innocents is modally and symbolically (as opposed to generically) picaresque. Such a reappraisal of Twain’s first monograph opens vistas onto the trickling inheritance of the picaresque mode in curious and unexpected literary places.
Fermentation of Trichoderma Reesei PKJ and Aspergillus Niger FNCC 6 to Improve the Production of Fermentable Sugar from Sago Meal

Published: June 2022

"Lignocellulosic compounds from sago waste are abundant, inexpensive, untapped carbon sources, and even tend to pollute the environment. Trichoderma reesei and Aspergillus niger are two fungi that are widely used to degrade lignocellulose compounds into simple sugars. T. reesei plays the first role to degrade cellulose. Then A niger will play a role in continuing the process of changing the product of cellulose degradation into simple sugars. The right combination of time to inoculate A. niger into media after T. reesei growing in could maximize the degradation process of lignocellulose compounds. In this study, T. reesei Pk1J2 inoculation was carried out 48 hours before the A. niger FNCC 6114 inoculation. Fermentation was continued in 48 h (total 96 h). The result is that the production of fermentable sugar increases 3-5 times compared to only using monoculture of T reesei or A.niger. Thus, this combination can be recommended for the preparation of potential carbon sources for fermentation and industrialization."

Bamboo is a unique and versatile material used for variety of purposes. But, it has certain drawbacks like its easy susceptibility to biodegradation and low natural durability. Therefore, special treatments (chemical /non-chemical) are required before using this biomass. The rural people of Assam are not aware to use this valuable gift in a protected and prevented manner and only use some non chemical i.e. traditional method of preservation to protect bamboo from biodegradation. These methods are very popular among the rural masses because, these can be carried out without any special equipments and technical knowhow. This paper describes some traditional methods of bamboo preservation which are still practiced in rural Assam to protect bamboo from bio degradation.

Colleges and universities are the main positions for our Party to carry out ideological and political education and grasp the mainstream ideology. However, with the erosion of the Internet on colleges and universities, the ideology of colleges and universities has gradually shown the characteristics of liberalization, fragmentation, entertainment, routinization and homogenization, which poses a great challenge to the work of network ideology and network security in colleges and universities. In such a dilemma, it is necessary to take corresponding measures to adjust the ideology and network security of colleges and universities, and to build a mainstream discourse system in line with socialist values, so as to guide the network public opinion and network security of colleges and universities.
Constitutional Basis for the Protection of Personal Information

Published: June 2022

The construction of a legal system for the protection of personal information is a key point to be considered in the era of big data. In China, with the promulgation and implementation of the Civil Code, the Network Security Law, the Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law, academics have discussed the rights and obligations of relevant subjects in the handling of personal information from different perspectives. This article argues that the constitutional basis of personal information protection is the state’s obligation to protect. With the advent of the information age, this obligation extends to the protection of the rights and interests related to personal information. The State’s obligation to protect personal information corresponds to the basic right of the “right to protection of personal information”, which is the value basis and constitutional foundation for the State to fulfill its obligation to protect. The “right to protection of personal information” emphasizes the State’s obligation to protect and its implementation, which is more conducive to the realization of the goal of personal information protection.
On the Standard of Proof in the Case of Leniency in Admitting Guilt and Accepting Punishment

The standard of proof is the core issue in the field of proof, and it is also the final criterion for the adjudicator to determine the facts of the case. The standard of criminal proof is related to the defendant’s most basic rights such as personal, property and even life. In order to relieve the pressure of the current shortage of judicial resources in our country, the leniency system of plea guilty and accepting punishment was generated. The research on the standard of proof in the plea case has become a major difficulty in the legal circle of our country. The analysis of its institutional value and judicial practice demand shows that the single standard of proof in the plea case can no longer meet the needs of the perfect development of criminal proceedings in our country. Therefore, some scholars propose to lower the standard of proof in cases of guilty plea and punishment, so as to truly achieve the purpose of improving the efficiency of litigation (reduction theory), but other scholars believe that lowering the standard of proof is not desirable, and this will lead to a resurgence of investigation-centrism and confession-centrism (insist theory). Behind this disagreement is the trade-off between fairness and efficiency. In response to this issue, the author points out her point of view by analyzing the theories put forward by scholars.
On the Identity in the “Unhomely”: Take Home and Daughter of the River as an Example
Authors:   Hohai University, Nanjing 211100, China, Tang Yue
Published: June 2022

The African American writer Toni Morrison and the British Chinese writer Hong Ying are both diasporic writers. Home and Daughter of the River are their representative works respectively, and their special ethnic identities give these two novels the unique marginalized style and the latent confusion of multiple identities. Based on the Freudian psychoanalytic theory of the “unhomely”, the paper focuses on the three-dimensional identity connotation and searching that are inherently related in the novels from the perspective of identity. By interpreting the characters in the “uncanny” state on identity issues, deciphering the contradictory relationship between the “unhomely” elements and identity construction is “attractive” and “repulsive”, aiming to provide a new path and perspective for identity studies in China and abroad.
