Published: December 2023

Abstract. Most inhabitants of the Arctic live near the coastline, including fjord systems where socio-ecological coupling with coastal communities is dominant. It is therefore critically important that the key aspects of Arctic fjords be measured as well as possible. Much work has been done to monitor temperature and salinity, but an in-depth knowledge of the light environment throughout Arctic fjords is lacking. This is particularly problematic knowing the importance of light for benthic ecosystem engineers such as macroalgae, which also play a major role in ecosystem function. Here we document the creation and implementation of a high resolution (~50–150 m) gridded dataset for surface photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), diffuse attenuation of PAR through the water column (KPAR), and PAR available at the seafloor (bottom PAR) for seven Arctic fjords distributed throughout Svalbard, Greenland, and Norway, during the period 2003–2022. In addition to bottom PAR being available at a monthly resolution over this time period, all variables are available as a global average, annual averages, and monthly climatologies. Throughout most Arctic fjords, the interannual variability of monthly bottom PAR is too large to determine any long term trends. However, in some fjords, bottom PAR has increased in spring and autumn, and decreased in summer. While a full investigation into these causes is beyond the scope of the description of the dataset presented here, it is hypothesised that this shift is due to a decrease in seasonal ice cover (i.e. enhanced surface PAR) in the shoulder seasons, and an increase in coastal runoff (i.e. increased turbidity/decreased surface PAR) in summer. A demonstration of the usability of the dataset is given by showing how it can be combined with known PAR requirements of macroalgae to track the change in time of the potential distribution area for macroalgal habitats within fjords. The dataset (Gentili et al., 2023a) is available on PANGAEA at: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.962895. A toolbox for download and working with this dataset is available in the form of the FjordLight R package, which is available via CRAN (Gentili et al., 2023b), or may be installed via GitHub: https://face-it-project.github.io/FjordLight (last access: 8 December 2023).

Published: December 2023

Abstract. We present a seismic catalogue including energy magnitude Me estimated from P-waves recorded at teleseismic distances in the range 20o ≤ Δ ≤ 98o and for depths less than 80 km. The catalogue is built starting from the event catalogue disseminated by GEOFON, considering 6349 earthquakes with moment magnitude Mw ≥ 5 occurring between 2011 and 2023. Magnitudes are computed using 1031396 freely available waveforms archived in EIDA and IRIS repositories, retrieved through standard FDSN webservices (https://www.fdsn.org/webservices/). A reduced, high quality catalogue for events with Mw ≥ 5.8 and from which stations and events with only few recordings were removed forms the basis of a detailed analysis of the residuals of individual station measurements, which are decomposed into station and event specific terms, and a term accounting for remaining variability. The derived Me values are compared to Mw computed by GEOFON and with the Me values calculated by IRIS. Software and tools developed for downloading and processing waveforms for bulk analysis and an add-on for SeisComP for real-time assessment of Me in a monitoring context are also provided alongside the catalogue. The SeisComP add-on is part of the GEOFON routine processing since December 2021 to compute and disseminate Me for major events via the existing services.

Abstract. The Chaos Canyon landslide, which collapsed on the afternoon of 28 June 2022 in Rocky Mountain National Park, presents an opportunity to evaluate instabilities within alpine regions faced with a warming and dynamic climate. Video documentation of the landslide was captured by several eyewitnesses and motivated a rapid field campaign. Initial estimates put the failure area at 66 630 m2, with an average elevation of 3555 m above sea level. We undertook an investigation of previous movement of this landslide, measured the volume of material involved, evaluated the potential presence of interstitial ice and snow within the failed deposit, and examined potential climatological impacts on the collapse of the slope. Satellite radar and optical measurements were used to calculate deformation of the landslide in the 5 years leading up to collapse. From 2017 to 2019, the landslide moved ∼5 m yr−1, accelerating to 17 m yr−1 in 2019. Movement took place through both internal deformation and basal sliding. Climate analysis reveals that the collapse took place during peak snowmelt, and 2022 followed 10 years of higher than average positive degree day sums. We also made use of slope stability modeling to test what factors controlled the stability of the area. Models indicate that even a small increase in the water table reduces the factor of safety to <1, leading to failure. We posit that a combination of permafrost thaw from increasing average temperatures, progressive weakening of the basal shear zone from several years of movement, and an increase in pore-fluid pressure from snowmelt led to the 28 June collapse. Material volumes were estimated using structure from motion (SfM) models incorporating photographs from two field expeditions on 8 July 2022 – 10 d after the slide. Detailed mapping and SfM models indicate that ∼1 258 000 ± 150 000 m3 of material was deposited at the slide toe and ∼1 340 000 ± 133 000 m3 of material was evacuated from the source area. The Chaos Canyon landslide may be representative of future dynamic alpine topography, wherein slope failures become more common in a warming climate.
MONITORING OIL SPILL PROGRESSION AND OIL SPILL VOLUME USING SATELLITE IMAGES

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Satellite imagery is an indispensable tool in operational oil spills mapping. The smooth surface of oil sleeks make them visible in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery due to the low backscatter values making the oil spills distinctly dark in SAR images compared to the surrounding water. Oil extent delineation using SAR is very common but aside from using SAR images, optical satellite images are also of great help by capitalizing on the spectral characteristics of the oil surface to isolate the oil extents. The delineated extents are post-processed in a Geographic Information System (GIS) software where the oil spill area is calculated and published as oil extent maps. Though the area can be calculated, estimating the volume of oil present in the extent map remains to be a challenge. To answer this problem, this paper proposes a Physics-based solution to calculate the thickness of the oil by analysing local maxima in the reflectance spectrum of oil-covered water. Using this technique, oil thickness was estimated from Sentinel-2 multispectral images of an oil spill. It yielded an average oil thickness estimate of 0.560 ± 0.164 microns. The calculated thickness is used to estimate the volume of spilled oil.
Navigating Borders During the Pandemic: A Collaborative Multi-Sited Approach
Authors: Villegas Paloma , Villegas Francisco
Published: December 2023

In this contribution, we examine a virtual, cross-campus collaboration during the fall of 2020. Our goal was for students to develop deeper knowledge of the materiality of borders through course content as well as getting to know each other and their different contexts in iterative ways. We approached this goal by intentionally seeking to engage our students, who were facing virtual classes for the second or third time given the Covid-19 pandemic. We knew students struggled with online platforms in previous terms and aimed to provide a classroom experience that recognized the limits of screen-based interaction and the multitude of precarities accentuated by the pandemic. While attending our classes, students were also facing the interlocking effects of Covid-19 including illness and death in their families, effects on their employment and mobility, and associated mental health struggles. Thus, community building within and across these classes was key as we navigated teaching online. Finally, we address our social location regarding course content given our complicated histories of migration and identities as undocuscholars: growing up and attending higher education undocumented in the U.S. (though no longer undocumented).
Teaching Racial Reckoning: The CRT Panic as a Challenge and an Answer
Authors: Schneider Matthew Jerome
Published: December 2023

Regular media coverage and social media discussion about Black Lives Matter, prison abolition, racialized police violence, and voter disenfranchisement mean that students arrive to our classes already primed to discuss and reckon with questions of racial justice and racial oppression and privilege. At the same time, we have also observed a groundswell of white Americans mobilizing in defense of white supremacy. Although this reckoning has been long in the making, recent successes of a violent and increasingly mainstream political movement have created new challenges for instructors teaching about racism. In this teaching note, I reflect on an experience with students who completed a “knowledge assessment survey” and how this was leveraged into a productive conversation about Critical Race Theory (CRT). More broadly, I suggest that discussion of politicized topics poses some challenges, but also presents opportunities for demonstrating the importance of critical race perspectives and prompts students to reflect on how their understandings of race are derived from their social worlds.

Racism in Argentine higher education. Proposals for an inclusive foreign language teacher training.
Authors: Ferrara Candelaria , Peez Klein Daniela
Published: December 2023

In Latin America, racism has been a problem since colonial times and is still found in higher education discriminatory practices. Contemporary racism in teacher training institutions and in foreign language career proposals is characterized by the lack of diversity in many aspects such as institutional human landscape, bibliography, language, and cultural uses. All this maintains a higher education that has traditionally produced and still produces a social reality that is non-plural, inequitable, unjust, and in need of revision. This omission of plurality needs to include strategies that link the field of higher education and excluded social groups. To this end, we suggest that service-learning could contribute to an inclusive training of foreign language teachers in an Ecology of Knowledge with other possible and necessary knowledges, ways, voices of diverse groups, so necessary for a non-racist higher education. We believe that overcoming the idea of the individual and alluding to the community, going beyond the doors of the institutions in an exchange of knowledge through practical interventions in the community beyond academicism is a practice that deserves to be further developed in higher education institutions. We propose lines of work to carry out a process of change in our teacher training programs and spaces for the construction of a better society. Service-learning is a feasible path that implies an anti-racist stance and we, the higher education community, have the imagination and qualifications required to generate and undertake this transgressive task of a collaborative and plural construction for a diverse, equitable, and just social reality.

Published: December 2023

Peer relations shows a pivotal role in the academic journey of university students, encompassing both supportive relations and the influence of peer pressure. This study delves into the connections among peer relations, peer pressure, and the academic achievements of university students. Its primary objective is to investigate the links between the quality of peer interactions and the degree of peer pressure with academic performance. This study adopts a quantitative research design, survey design with random sampling and tries to investigate how these peer-related characteristics affect students' performance. Random sampling will be utilised to pick a representative sample of 600 university students from diverse faculties and academic years. The research is based on data obtained, and the following significant conclusions were observed: the analysis of the data revealed a positive association between peer relations and peer pressure, showing that as peer relations improve, peer pressure tends to grow. Positive link is found in the study involving peer pressure and academic achievement, suggesting that students confronting complicated degrees of peer pressure tended to perform better academically. This conclusion urges additional inquiry into the mechanisms by which peer pressure can contribute to improved academic achievement. Positive social relations can be considered as a vital benefit for academic performance, while the function of peer pressure in determining academic outcomes is an exciting subject for further research. Understanding the complexities of peer interactions and their impact on academic performance is crucial for educators, politicians, and students alike. Further research is needed to delve deeper into the intricacies of these relationships and to explore potential interventions and strategies that can enhance the overall university experience for students.

Published: December 2023

This research investigated empirically the influence of inflation on daily wage working class. Inflation is a term used in economics to describe a phenomena in which the prices of goods and services in an economy rise over time. Inflation indicates that, on average, goods get more costly with time. It is calculated as the percentage rise in the overall level of goods and services prices during a specific time period, usually a year. The central focus of the study was to dig out the influence inflation have on daily wage working class. The present study was conducted in Rawalakot Poonch ajk. In the current study, qualitative research methodology has been used. Ten people made up the sample. An interview guide was employed as a means of gathering primary research data. The collected data was examined thematically. The findings show that inflation has a negative impact on daily wage workers. The laborers' backs have been shattered by skyrocketing inflation. The daily wage working class is unable to satisfy their basic living necessities due to growing inflation. Labor earnings have not grown as much as commodity prices have. Along with financial challenges, the working class has suffered from psychological issues throughout this period of inflation. The study has also found when the daily wage workers are unable to meet the needs of the household quarrels and conflicts arise in the household and create a situation of insecurity.

Published: December 2023

The majority of energy used globally is attributed to human activities. To enumerate exactly how energy consumption affects the process of human development, however, may be necessary. There is much work to be done in this area of inquiry. The association between energy consumption, economic growth, and the HDI is therefore explored in this study. For this purpose, we used the panel data of SAARC countries from 1971 to 2019. Data is taken from the World Bank and human development reports. This purpose of study is to investigate the connections among energy use, economic growth, HDI, trade openness, environmental variables, and urbanization in the context of SAARC economies. In this work, we utilized the Housman test, the random effect model and the fixed effect model. This study shows that energy consumption has a negative but significant impact on the human development index.
The COVID-19 Pandemic Exposes and Exacerbates Inequalities for Vulnerable Groups: A Systematic Review
Authors: Husain Fawad , Akram Sara , Al-Kubaisi Hamad Abdulla R A , Hameed Frass
Published: December 2023

This paper examines the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on vulnerable populations. COVID-19 is widely acknowledged to necessitate physical isolation as a new norm.  The consequences of the closure varied among individuals. COVID-19 is linked to societal disparities in terms of its occurrence, diagnosis procedures, and seriousness. Discrepancies occur due to differences in viral exposure, increased vulnerability to infection, higher prevalence of severe health conditions with substantial consequences, and unequal access to healthcare. The impact of COVID-19 can be significantly influenced by several socioeconomic determinants of health, such as poverty, environmental factors including homelessness, and one's racial or cultural heritage.  In this review study, the frequency of discriminatory practices—which often result from people's preconceived biases—is analyzed. These conducts put people at risk, restrict their capacity to participate in social activities, impede their ability to acquire new skills, and frequently block their access to secure housing, healthcare, education, and a steady income. The study aims to investigate the discriminatory impact of COVID-19 on individuals who experience social deprivation. This aspect of the research focuses primarily on analyzing four crucial factors: homelessness, racial prejudice, gender inequity, and the susceptibility of older individuals. The aforementioned concerns primarily pertain to the lower-income demographic, which experiences the most restricted access to fundamental commodities and health insurance.
Renewable Energy, Green Finance, Ecological Footprints and Environmental Quality: A New Insights from South Asian Countries
Authors: Arshad Aqsa , Saghir Ghulam , Nasim Ismat , Raza Kashif
Published: December 2023

Within the context of South Asian nations, this study investigates how factors such as FDI, ecological footprint, green finance, utilization of renewable energy sources, and Information and Communication Technology all have a role in determining the quality of the environment. In order to investigate the dynamic interrelationships that exist among these elements, this study makes use of panel data and in order to evaluate the nature of the connection that exists between the variables that are the subject of this investigation, the research performs slope homogeneity tests as well as cross-sectional dependency tests. The research indicates that the ecological footprint, green financing, FDI, use of renewable energy, and ICT are all collectively responsible for the increase in carbon emissions and the deterioration of environmental conditions. However, the use of renewable energy sources has been shown to have an effect that is inversely proportional to the release of carbon emissions. The study utilizes a mixed order of integration (0,1) in order to derive short-run and long-run correlations among South Asian countries. The results indicate that several factors are exerting an influence on the quality of the environment. However, it is seen that the consumption of renewable energy is having an inverse impact on carbon emissions.

Published: December 2023

Urdu language newspapers were instrumental during the independence movement. Radical and ethical journalistic approach proved very effective and played a pivotal role in the creation of Pakistan. However, Urdu journalism changed over time and underwent structural as well as ideological transformation mostly dominated by corporate ownership in Pakistan. There have been commercial agents that use journalism for their corporate purposes. Despite huge concerns and open criticism, their presence has had a significant impact on newspaper practices today in a number of ways. The way news is reported, language choices and photographic selection, has been influenced by corporate as well as cross media ownership. Urdu press enjoys maximum readership in Pakistan and has subsequent influence on public perception and opinion making. Therefore, present study focuses on the impact of sensationalism on Urdu press. A quantitative approach has been adopted by using purposive sampling method. 100 respondents were sent with a carefully constructed questionnaire. Findings of the study show that Urdu press is sensational and dramatized in nature.

Wound healing in the mouth has its challenges due to masticatory movements and the presence of bacteria that can inhibit its process. The aim of this study was to analyze the contents of red algae (Gracilaria verrucosa) from Indonesia, and its potential as a wound-healing agent for oral wounds using animal model. Red algae content was determined by phytochemical tests and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The wound was made by making an incision on the gingival mucosa of Rattus norvegicus and the parameters assessed were bleeding time, number of fibroblast cells, and time of wound closure. Three doses of G. verrucosa gel were used (2.5%, 5%, and 10%) and the gels were applied twice a day, at 6:00 and 18:00. Application was carried out topically by applying 0.1 ml of gel to the incision wound using a 1 mL syringe. Our phytochemical test indicated that the G. verrucosa contained alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, and phenols. The dominant contains of the G. verrucosa were glycerol (36.81%), hexadecenoic acid (20.74%), and cholesterol (7.4%). The hemostasis test showed that the 2.5% G. verrucosa extract gel had the shortest bleeding time, 33.98±5.33 seconds. On the seventh day of the initial proliferation phase, the number of fibroblasts was not significantly different among groups. On day 14, the number of fibroblasts was only significantly different between 10% G. verrucosa and untreated group (p=0.007). On day 28, however, both 5% and 10% G. verrucosa were significantly higher compared to untreated group, both had p=0.010. Daily clinical examination showed that animals that were given 2.5% and 5% of G. verrucosa extract gel experienced wound closure on day 10. Animals treated with 10% of extract gel, all wounds healed on day 9. This study suggested that G. verrucosa extract could accelerate wound closure and wound healing.
The constitutional guarantees of the fundamental right to work
Authors: Zaporojan Veaceslav , Negrila Constantin
Published: December 2023

Legal labor relations, as social relations, are relations with a multidimensional institutional character, being regulated by not only the branch of labor law or by civil law and other branches, as important social relations for the socialization and sustenance of man, being part of the fundamental ones. Labor relations are also constitutional, being part of the Constitution and thus becoming supreme. The right to work, essential for the development of the rule of law, imposes constitutional guarantees of a public control of the protective regulations, the basis constituting the supremacy of the constitution. Constitutional protection was guaranteed by 33 decisions adopted by the Constitutional Court since the establishment of constitutionality control. The constitutional guarantees for the protection of the right to work have been ensured from simple employees, through the control of the constitutionality of the norms regarding the minimum and average salary in the economy, up to the working conditions of employees who hold the positions of deputies in the Parliament.

Nowadays, security plays a big role, notably in homes, companies, and banks. This article uses embedded systems to design a bank locker security system. The Global System for Mobile (GSM) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies are the foundation of this system. Only honest people are permitted to retrieve money or gold from bank lockers. It is created by fusing RFID and GSM technologies, allowing for real-time activation, authentication, and validation of the user and door unlocking for safe access to bank lockers. GSM and passive RFID are safer than other technologies. A microcontroller, RFID reader, GSM modem, keyboard, and a liquid crystal diode make up this system (LCD). This system employs a dual password protection scheme to ensure that only legitimate individuals can get funds from bank lockers.

Published: December 2023

The urgent need for proactive management and measures for elderly drivers is evident due to the continuous increase in the number of traffic accidents and fatalities involving drivers aged 65 and older. This is further compounded by the advent of the “super-aging era”. However, the measures implemented in South Korea for elderly drivers are limited to the duration of the fitness test period and the driver's license return system.
Therefore, the aim of this study is to propose methods for expanding the conditional driver's license system by benchmarking advanced international cases. The goal is to enhance both traffic safety and the rights of mobility. Additionally, we suggest introducing a third-party reporting system to quickly identify candidates for occasional fitness tests and to consider imposing a conditional license on them.
The conditional driver's license system currently being implemented in several countries. It imposes imposing restrictions on including as road limitations, speed limits, and restrictions. currently. Some countries also have a third-party (community) reporting system that allows family members or healthcare professionals to report drivers who pose a high risk. The results of the analysis of traffic accidents revealed that the fatality rate among elderly individuals is higher, especially during nighttime and freeway driving. This highlights the importance of implementing safety policies. Over half of the respondents supported the introduction of the conditional driving license system and believed that additional tests related to driving fitness, including eyesight, are essential.
It was concluded that the implementation a the conditional driver's license system, similar to those used by advanced nations, is necessary to the safety and protect the minimal rights of elderly drivers' mobility. Most importantly, careful consideration of criteria for conditional licenses, along with the simultaneous introduction of a third-party reporting system, are essential components to enhance the safety of elderly drivers in this regard.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a study on the relationship between risk assessment signal and safety in small and medium-sized workplaces. While the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, which will be applied to places of business with five or more employees, will be effected in January 2024, the accident rate in small- and medium-sized businesses is still high. Promoting safety behaviors and preventing accidents in small- and medium-sized businesses require analyzing the role of risk assessment, an integral part of the self-regulatory safety and health management system.
In this regard, this study is aimed at examining the relationship between risk assessment and safety performance in small- and medium-sized businesses. The subjects of this study were 211 employees, working at small- and medium-sized businesses that hired less than 300 workers. The collected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS 29 program, through frequency analysis and independent samples t test. The results revealed significant differences in the domains of safety climate and compliance, accident rates, safety as a top priority, and the level of risk behavior management in small- and medium-sized businesses, based on whether risk assessment was conducted or not. The businesses that conducted risk assessment, demonstrated a higher level of safety performance than those that did not. These findings confirmed that risk assessment is an effective system to improve safety behaviors and prevent accidents at small- and medium-sized businesses. Further research should be conducted on the implementation of risk assessment in small- and medium-sized businesses and their resultant safety performance, to encourage more companies to adopt this practice. This will also facilitate risk assessment to develop into an effective measure for preventing industrial accidents and protecting the health and lives of workers.
