A physically based correction for stray light in Brewer spectrophotometer data analysis
Authors: Savastiouk Vladimir , Diémoz Henri , McElroy C. Thomas
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Brewer ozone spectrophotometers have become an integral part of the global ground-based ozone monitoring network collecting data since the early 1980s. The double-monochromator Brewer version (MkIII) was introduced in 1992. With the Brewer hardware being so robust, both single- and double-monochromator instruments are still in use. The main difference between the single Brewers and the double Brewers is the much lower stray light in the double instrument. Laser scans estimate the rejection level of the single Brewers to be 10−4.5, while the doubles improve this to 10−8, virtually eliminating the effects of stray light. For a typical single-monochromator Brewer, stray light leads to an underestimation of ozone of approximately 1 % at 1000 DU ozone slant column density (SCD) and can exceed 5 % at 2000 DU, while underestimation of sulfur dioxide reaches 30 DU when no sulfur dioxide is present. This is because even a small additional stray light contribution at shorter wavelengths significantly reduces the calculated SCD at large values. An algorithm for stray light correction based on the physics of the instrument response to stray light (PHYCS) has been developed. The simple assumption is that count rates measured at any wavelength have a contribution from stray light from longer, and thus brighter, wavelengths because of the ozone cross-section gradient leading to a rapid change in intensity as a function of wavelength. Using the longest measured wavelength (320 nm) as a proxy for the overall brightness provides an estimate of this contribution. The sole parameter, on the order of 0.2 % to 0.6 %, that describes the percentage of light at the longest wavelength to be subtracted from all channels is determined by comparing ozone calculations from single- and double-monochromator Brewers making measurements side-by-side. Removing this additional count rate from the signal mathematically before deriving ozone corrects for the extra photons scattering within the instrument that produce the stray light effect. Analyzing historical data from co-located single- and double-monochromator Brewers provides an estimate of how the stray light contribution changes over time in an instrument. The corrected count rates of the measured wavelengths can also be used to improve other calculations: the sulfur dioxide column and the aerosol optical depth, the effective temperature of the ozone layer, or any other products. A multi-platform implementation of PHYCS, rmstray, to correct the count rates for stray light and save the corrected values in a new B-file for use with any existing Brewer data analysis software is available to the global Brewer user community at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8097038 (Savastiouk and Diémoz, 2023).

Published: October 2023

Abstract. The atmospheric environment monitoring satellite DQ-1 was launched in April 2022, which consists of a spaceborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) system. This new system enables the accurate measurements of global aerosol optical properties, which can be used in Geo-scientific community after the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) retirement. Developing a suitable retrieval algorithm and validating retrieved results are prominently needed. This research demonstrates a retrieval algorithm for aerosol optical properties using the DQ-1 HSRL system. This method has retrieved the aerosol depolarization ratio, backscatter coefficient, extinction coefficient, and optical depth. For validation purposes, we compared retrieved results with those obtained through CALIPSO. The results have shown a continuous profile alignment between the two datasets, with DQ-1 describing an improved signal-to-noise ratio of approximately 10 dB. Optical property profiles from NASA Micro Pulse Lidar NETwork (MPLNET) stations were selected for validation with the DQ-1 measurements, resulting in a relative error of 25 %. Between June 2022 and December 2022, aerosol optical depth measurements using the DQ-1 satellite and the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) were correlated and yielded a value of R2 0.803. We use the DQ-1 dataset to initially investigate the transport processes of the Saharan dust and the South Atlantic volcanic ash. These validations and applications show that the DQ-1 HSRL system can accurately measure global aerosols and holds significant prospects for earth science applications.
Technical note: Darkroom lighting for luminescence dating laboratory
Authors: Frouin Marine , Grandfield Taylor , Huebsch William , Evans Owen
Published: October 2023

Abstract. An optimal lighting setting for the darkroom laboratory is fundamental for the accuracy of luminescence dating results. Here, we present the lighting setting implemented in the new Luminescence Dating Research Laboratory at Stony Brook University, USA. In this study, we performed spectral measurements on different light sources and filters. Then, we measured the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signal of quartz and the infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) at 50 ∘C (IR50) as well as post-IR IRSL at 290 ∘C (pIR-IR290) signal of potassium (K)-rich feldspar samples exposed to various light sources and durations. Our ambient lighting is provided by ceiling fixtures, each equipped with a single orange light-emitted diode (LED). In addition, our task-oriented lighting, mounted below each wall-mounted cabinet and inside the fume hoods, is equipped with a dimmable orange LED stripline. The ambient lighting, delivering 0.4 lx at the sample position, induced a loss of less than 5 % (on average) in the quartz OSL dose after 24 h of exposure and up to 5 % (on average) in the IR50 dose for the K-rich feldspar samples, with no measurable effect on their pIR-IR290 dose. The fume hood lighting, delivering 1.1 lx at the sample position, induced a dose loss of less than 5 % in quartz OSL and K-rich feldspar IR50 doses after 24 h of exposure, with no measurable effect on their pIR-IR290 dose. As light exposure during sample preparation is usually less than 24 h, we conclude that our lighting setting is suitable for luminescence dating darkrooms; it is simple, inexpensive to build, and durable.
SedTrace 1.0: a Julia-based framework for generating and running reactive-transport models of marine sediment diagenesis specializing in trace elements and isotopes
Authors: Du Jianghui
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) are important tools in studying ocean biogeochemistry. Understanding their modern ocean budgets and using their sedimentary records to reconstruct paleoceanographic conditions require a mechanistic understanding of the diagenesis of TEIs, yet the lack of appropriate modeling tools has limited our ability to perform such research. Here I introduce SedTrace, a modeling framework that can be used to generate reactive-transport code for modeling marine sediment diagenesis and assist model simulation using advanced numerical tools in Julia. SedTrace enables mechanistic TEI modeling by providing flexible tools for pH and speciation modeling, which are essential in studying TEI diagenesis. SedTrace is designed to solve one particular challenge facing users of diagenetic models: existing models are usually case-specific and not easily adaptable for new problems such that the user has to choose between modifying published code and writing their own code, both of which demand strong coding skills. To lower this barrier, SedTrace can generate diagenetic models only requiring the user to supply Excel spreadsheets containing necessary model information. The resulting code is clearly structured and readable, and it is integrated with Julia's differential equation solving ecosystems, utilizing tools such as automatic differentiation, sparse numerical methods, Newton–Krylov solvers and preconditioners. This allows efficient solution of large systems of stiff diagenetic equations. I demonstrate the capacity of SedTrace using case studies of modeling the diagenesis of pH as well as radiogenic and stable isotopes of TEIs.
Technical note: Discrete in situ vapor sampling for subsequent lab-based water stable isotope analysis
Authors: Herbstritt Barbara , Gralher Benjamin , Seeger Stefan , Rinderer Michael , Weiler Markus
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Methodological advancements have been made in in situ observations of water stable isotopes that have provided valuable insights into ecohydrological processes. The continuous measurement capabilities of laser-based analyzers allow for high temporal resolutions and non-destructive minimally invasive study designs of such in situ approaches. However, isotope analyzers are expensive, heavy, and require shelter and access to electrical power, which impedes many in situ assays. Therefore, we developed a new inexpensive technique to collect discrete water vapor samples in the field via diffusion-tight inflatable bags that can later be analyzed in the lab. In a series of structured experiments, we tested different procedural settings, bag materials, and closure types for diffusion tightness during storage as well as for practical handling during filling and extraction. To facilitate reuse of sampling bags, we present a conditioning procedure using ambient air as primer. In order to validate our method, direct measurements through hydrophobic in situ probes were compared to repeated measurements of vapor sampled with our bags from the same source. All steps are summarized in a detailed standard operating procedure (SOP). This procedure represents the preparation and measurement of calibration and validation vapor standards necessary for processing of unknown field-collected vapor samples in the foreseen application. By performing pertinent calibration procedures, accuracy was better than 0.4 ‰ for δ18O and 1.9 ‰ for δ2H after 1 d of storage. Our technique is particularly suitable when used in combination with minimally invasive water vapor sampling in situ probes that have already been employed for soils and tree xylem. It is an important step towards minimally invasive monitoring of stable isotope distributions and also time series in virtually undisturbed soils and trees without the need to have an analyzer in the field. It is therefore a promising tool for many applications in ecohydrology and meteorology.
Djaffa Mountains guereza (Colobus guereza gallarum) abundance in forests of the Ahmar Mountains, Ethiopia

Published: October 2023

Abstract. The size and density of a population are essential parameters in primate ecology and conservation. Such information, however, is still scarce for many forest primate species. The Djaffa Mountains guereza (Colobus guereza gallarum) is an endemic Ethiopian taxon for which data about its distribution and population size are missing. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the abundance and population size of the Djaffa Mountains guereza in four forests in the Ahmar Mountains southeast of the Ethiopian Rift Valley. We conducted line-transect surveys in the forests. Within an area of 183 km2, we sampled 19 transects covering a distance of 75.9 km. We encountered 73 guereza clusters which most likely represent social groups. Since the detection distances and cluster sizes did not differ among the four forests, we applied a conventional distance sampling (CDS) model and estimated a population density of 20.6 clusters per square kilometer, i.e., 109.6 individuals per square kilometer or 20 061 individuals within the complete study area. This abundance is relatively high compared to other C. guereza taxa. However, given that the habitat and population of C. g. gallarum are already highly fragmented, further monitoring of the population and exploration of the possibilities of reconnecting its habitat should be priorities for the conservation of this taxon.
Waviness of the Southern Hemisphere wintertime polar and subtropical jets
Authors: Martin Jonathan E. , Norton Taylor
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The recently developed average latitudinal displacement (ALD) methodology is applied to assess the waviness of the austral-winter subtropical and polar jets using three different reanalysis data sets. As in the wintertime Northern Hemisphere, both jets in the Southern Hemisphere have become systematically wavier over the time series and the waviness of each jet evolves quite independently of the other during most cold seasons. Also, like its Northern Hemisphere equivalent, the Southern Hemisphere polar jet exhibits no trend in speed (though it is notably slower), while its poleward shift is statistically significant. In contrast to its Northern Hemisphere counterpart, the austral subtropical jet has undergone both a systematic increase in speed and a statistically significant poleward migration. Composite differences between the waviest and least wavy seasons for each species suggest that the Southern Hemisphere's lower-stratospheric polar vortex is negatively impacted by unusually wavy tropopause-level jets of either species. These results are considered in the context of trends in the Southern Annular Mode as well as the findings of other related studies.
Measurement and analysis of high altitude wind profiles over the sea in a coastal zone using a scanning wind LiDAR – application to wind energy
Authors: Conan Boris , Visich Aleksandra
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The lack of observations at heights relevant to the wind energy industry is a major challenge for the development of the next generation offshore wind turbines expected to operate within the first tens kilometres from the coast with turbine tip reaching more than 250 m. Observations in the coastal zone, complex by its very nature as being the site of sea breezes, low-level jets, land/sea transition, are key for both understanding the marine atmospheric boundary layer processes interacting with the turbine and to the parametrization of the wind profile well above the surface layer. These needs face the difficulties of measuring in the region 150–500 m and above the sea surface. In this paper, we present an original methodology to measure the 10-min averaged wind profile at 1.5 km offshore using a scanning doppler LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) installed inland. The validated methodology provides a well resolved vertical profile of the horizontal wind speed and direction up to 500 m above the sea. The methodology is implemented in a 7 month test campaign in the northeastern Atlantic coast. The analysis of the wind conditions shows a proportion of low-level jets, whose origin is discussed, of 15.5 % mainly coming from land and at night with a core well inside the rotor area of a 10 MW wind turbine. Wind shear events above the design values are observed 30 % of the time and provide a third of the total power production. High shear events are shown to be more probable during low-level jet (68 % of the time) compared to non low-level jet events (22 %). The description of low-level jets and high shear events is key as they are situations where the wind profile differs from the standard values used for wind turbine design and may affect the load and fatigue predictions.
The Mortality Narratives in Cultural Representations: Themes and Tropes in Malayalam Cinema
Authors: Gopinath Swapna
Published: October 2023

Malayalam cinema is a vibrant creative space that post 1990s, underwent a transformation, leading to a proliferation of films, uniquely experimental in nature. An interesting perspective explored in detail was that of mortality, analysis of death from a microcosmic perspective. Evaluating death as an event in Deleuzian framework enables us to gain interesting insights and the film used for study here is Ee. Ma. Yau. (2018) which has a funeral foregrounded in the narrative. The paper traces the encounter with death in popular films, over time, to comprehend social discourses built around mortality in India, specifically in the southern state of Kerala in India.  Death and the social interventions in this context emerge as aspects significant for this study.

Mountainous environments are considered unique habitats with distinct ecosystem characteristics. Therefore, more studies must understand and characterize these habitats to improve their preservation. Therefore, this paper aims to characterize two mountainous areas in Central Brazil, Morraria do Urucum and Serra do Amolar to address a discussion about the ‘Campos de Altitude’ (altitude grasslands) vegetation above 700 m altitude. Differently from Serra do Amolar, Morraria do Urucum does not have Conservation Units in its territory, raising concerns related to its preservation. Actions are urgent to prevent the loss of mountainous biodiversity, but these must reflect ecological properties and successional processes and, therefore, allow adequate management practices

This study aimed to examine whether the tendency to cheat and interpersonal cognitive distortions have a predictive effect on the marital satisfaction level of married teachers. The sample of the study consisted of 107 (28.1%) male and 271 (71.9%) female married teachers working in Gaziantep. In the study, a Personal Information Form was used to collect data on the demographic characteristics of married teachers, the Marriage Life Scale to measure marital satisfaction level, the Cheating Tendency Scale to measure the level of infidelity tendency, and the Interpersonal Cognitive Distortions Scale to measure interpersonal cognitive distortions. A survey model was used in this study. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Regression analysis methods were used in the analysis process of the obtained data. As a result of the research, it was concluded that the tendency to cheat and interpersonal cognitive distortions were significant predictors of marital satisfaction. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the tendency to cheat and interpersonal cognitive distortions explained 30% of married teachers' marital satisfaction. At the same time, there is a negative and significant relationship between marital satisfaction and the tendency to cheat; a positive and significant relationship exists between the tendency to cheat and interpersonal cognitive distortions. It has been determined that there is a negative and significant relationship between interpersonal cognitive distortions and marital satisfaction.
A Bibliometric Analysis of Online Self-Disclosure Research
Authors: Tunca Aslı
Published: October 2023

The online environment spreads a strong culture of self-disclosure by providing individuals with countless opportunities for social interaction. This spread has accelerated with the COVID-19 pandemic. As the culture of self-disclosure in the online environment increases, it is curious how families, students, and educators are affected by the situation. It is important for psychological counselors who are engaged in adaptive, preventive, and remedial work in schools to investigate the opportunities and risky aspects of online self-disclosure. It should be carefully examined to see how it will add innovations to counselors' practices. This study aims to present a publication profile on online self-disclosure through bibliometric analysis. In this context, only 256 articles published in English and Turkish related to education, psychology, and family were analyzed. According to the findings, the country with the highest number of publications on online self-disclosure was the USA. The most publishing institutions are universities in the USA. The most productive year on the subject was 2021. It was determined that more and more effective publications were made with adolescents. The most frequently repeated keyword is self-disclosure, while social disruption is the most frequently repeated keyword in terms of psychological factors. It can be said that online self-disclosure is in its infancy in both educational and psychological counseling literature.

Authors: Gün Özge , Bulut Safure
Published: October 2023

Based on a multidimensional definition of attitude, this study tested a second-order factor model of attitude toward mathematics using data from 1960 7th-grade students. This study found that students’ attitudes toward mathematics are identified with cognitive, affective, and behavioral factors. This study confirmed three hypotheses: the cognitive component of attitude toward mathematics is explained by students’ confidence in learning mathematics and their beliefs about the usefulness and importance of mathematics; the affective component of attitude toward mathematics is explained by their liking of mathematics and mathematics anxiety; and the behavioral component of attitude toward mathematics is explained by learner behaviors toward mathematics and the time they spent on mathematics at home.  Moreover, the final model obtained through factor analysis revealed strong relationships between the three components of attitude and attitude toward mathematics.

Authors: Gözler Alpaslan , Öztürk Mehmet Emin , Karnas Mustafa
Published: October 2023

This article addresses the challenges that special education school principals face in Türkiye. The literature indicated that there are a variety of challenges that impact school principals and school management. Most of these challenges were based on school personnel. Shortage and attrition of Special Education (SPED) teachers, lack of teaching and knowledge on teaching students with disabilities, some work-related challenges, and lack of collaboration and advocacy among school staff were the challenges indicated in the literature. There are few Turkish studies that explore the challenges that SPED school administrators face. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore what challenges Turkish SE school principals face and whether these challenges are different from those reported in the literature. A semi-structured interview was conducted with 12 school principals. The results of this study indicated that some challenges that Turkish SPED principals have been facing were consistent with the literature, while others were not indicated in the literature. Implications for practice and directions for future research are presented.
Why can't we predict traits from the environment?
Authors: Anderegg Leander D. L.
Published: October 2023

Plant functional traits are powerful ecological tools, but the relationships between plant traits and climate (or environmental variables more broadly) are often remarkably weak. This presents a paradox: Plant traits govern plant interactions with their environment, but the environment does not strongly predict the traits of plants living there. Unpacking this paradox requires differentiating the mechanisms of trait variation and potential confounds of trait–environment relationships at different evolutionary and ecological scales ranging from within species to among communities. It also necessitates a more integrated understanding of physiological and evolutionary equifinality among many traits and plant strategies, and challenges us to understand how supposedly ‘functional’ traits integrate into a whole-organism phenotype in ways that may be largely orthogonal to environmental tolerances.

Conformational characteristics in Arabian and Thoroughbred horses
Authors: Yıldırım İsmail Gökçe , Erden Hasan
Published: October 2023

Horses are expected to maintain their racing lives with healthy and high performances. The body structure of an ideal race horse should have ideal athletic characteristics. By selecting horses with good body structure, it is possible to increase both race achievements and breeding values. Studies are ongoing to evaluate the ideal body structure of horses in an objective and measurable way. This helps identify the strengths and weaknesses of horses.
The study was aimed at determining the overall body conformations of Arabian and Thoroughbred racing horses by morphometric measurements. Photographs of Arabian and Thoroughbred horses in standard positions were scaled on a computer to measure angle and length values. Using the data obtained, body structures were tried to be revealed for both races. In addition, structural differences that increased the risk of disability in both races were assessed. There were significant differences between the head, leg, and body structures of Arabian and Thoroughbred horses. Lover length measurements were found for Arabians than for Thoroughbreds. It was noted that differences between the two breed were significant, especially in distal extremity measures. It was found that in Thoroughbreds, the rump is generally higher than the withers, and this may result in a greater loading on the forelegs.
In addition to identifying the body structures and differences of both breed, the results of the study are thought to be useful for selection practises and to contribute to the understanding of the aetiology of disabilities.

The Impact of Revenue Diversification on the Performance of Chinese Commercial Banks
Authors: Wu Junjie , Jiang Hao
Published: October 2023

Since the 18th National Congress of the Party, the intensity of financial reforms has been continuously increasing. Against this backdrop, the competitive environment within China's banking sector has become more challenging, leading various banks to confront a spectrum of challenges while also encountering opportunities for growth. With the advancement of marketization, numerous banks have engaged in various forms of operations. This paper employs the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) dynamic panel model to investigate the impact of diversified operations on the performance of Chinese banks. It posits that the advantages of contemporary diversified operations have not been fully realized due to factors such as operational costs and risk exposure. Accordingly, Chinese commercial banks should devise enhanced risk management strategies, bolster oversight, foster ongoing innovation, and progressively embark on diversified operations. This approach aims to manifest the benefits of operational diversification, thus fostering improvements in banking performance.

Published: October 2023

Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome is a multifaceted condition influenced by several clinical, histological, and endoscopic features. Treating this condition, especially in cases of relapse or non-responsiveness, requires a methodical and logical approach. This study aimed to determine the frequency of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome among patients presenting with rectal bleeding at a tertiary care hospital. This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Gastroenterology, Ibn-e-Sina Hospital/Multan Medical and Dental College, Multan, from 10-06-2022 to 10-06-2023. A total of 369 patients with rectal bleeding were registered in the study. Baseline investigations, including histopathology, were conducted to diagnose solitary rectal ulcer syndrome. Of the 369 registered patients, 237 (64.2%) were male, and 132 (35.8%) were female, with a mean age of 52.16 ± 9.05 years. Of these, 253 (68.6%) were from rural areas, and 116 (31.4%) were from urban areas. In 224 (60.7%), poor socioeconomic status was noted, while 145 (39.3%) had a middle-income level. Diabetes was present in 97 (26.3%), and hypertension in 134 (36.3%). The mean body mass index was 25.23 ± 1.57 kg/m2, and obesity was present in 56 (15.2%) patients. Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome was observed in 25 (6.8%) patients. The study concluded that there is a high frequency of Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) among patients presenting with rectal bleeding. Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) was significantly associated with increasing age, socioeconomic status, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. All clinicians treating such patients should anticipate Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) for early diagnosis and proper management, which will improve their prognosis and quality of life.

Resultados: Aponta as redes sociais digitais como ferramentas que contribuem não só para a comunicação e divulgação científica, mas também para a construção da memória digital dos programas de pós-graduação da Ciência da Informação do Nordeste do Brasil. Tendo em vista, a valorização das experiências na medida em que aproxima os produtores e usuários da informação. Além disso, evidência e existência de um esforço advindo pelos PPGCIs da região nordeste para estarem presentes em pelo menos uma destas redes sociais digitais, disseminando conteúdos sobre diversas temáticas da Ciência da Informação ou áreas afins. Os resultados das métricas de visibilidade, influência e engajamento demonstram o sucesso na aceitação dos conteúdos pelos usuários da informação (público) presentes nestes canais de comunicação. Conclusões: Identifica, ainda, os diferentes perfis de atuação, o engajamento e formatos de conteúdo abordados entre os oito programas analisados, com destaque para o PPGCI UFAL e o PPGCI UFS, demonstrando a importância da utilização dos novos espaços info-comunicacionais representados pelas redes sociais digitais para a visibilidade e maior alcance da memória digital dos PPGCIs da região nordeste.
sustentabilidade informacional pode ser vista como um novo paradigma da Ciência da Informação?
Authors: Geraldo Genilson , Pinto Marli Dias de Souza , Duarte Evandro Jair
Published: October 2023

Objetivo: O presente estudo propõe uma reflexão sobre a construção e/ou constituição de novos paradigmas para a civilização pós-moderna. Sobretudo, da possibilidade de constituição do paradigma sustentabilidade como um novo paradigma dominante em diferentes áreas do conhecimento. O objetivo deste ensaio consiste em apresentar uma análise crítica sobre visualizar a Sustentabilidade Informacional como um novo paradigma para a Ciência da Informação. Metodologia: Quanto aos objetivos caracteriza-se como um estudo bibliográfico e exploratório. Resultados: A discussão sobre Sustentabilidade Informacional surgiu em 2018, no Grupo de Pesquisa em Gestão da Sustentabilidade na Ciência da Informação, no Programa de Pós-graduação em Ciência da Informação da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Entretanto, é um campo nascente em pesquisas científicas sobre sustentabilidade na Ciência da Informação, buscando abordar e discutir desafios para os cientistas da informação. Isto é, procurando compreender o funcionamento de sistemas complexos da área com relação ao acesso e uso da informação, à organização do conhecimento e ao desenvolvimento de tecnologias sustentáveis de informação. Conclusões: Existe uma infinidade de pesquisas, estudos educacionais, formação profissional, especializações e ações práticas que podem ser desenvolvidas focadas na causa da Sustentabilidade. E consequentemente, para alcançar as dimensões do Desenvolvimento Sustentável, em que a Ciência da Informação possui potencial para incluir a causa em suas pesquisas, por meio da Sustentabilidade Informacional. Mas, será que se torna um novo paradigma? Ou apenas se interrelaciona a desafios científicos já existentes na área? Talvez possa ser uma questão de semântica, porém, é inquestionável que urgentemente pesquisadores da Ciência da Informação reflitam sobre a consolidação da temática na sua atuação científica e social, focando seus objetivos científicos às metas globais de desenvolvimento sustentável, cuja proposta da Sustentabilidade Informacional pode ser o caminho para uma Ciência da Informação sustentável.

Objetivo: Demonstrar como as técnicas de Search Engine Optimization podem auxiliar na recuperação da informação. Metodologia: A investigação possui caráter descritivo exploratório, tendo sido também realizada, como etapa complementar, uma pesquisa documental. Resultados: Ao se utilizar tais técnicas, pode-se obter uma melhor recuperação da informação, pois se faz necessário aplicar uma representação, por meio de palavras-chave e de atributos (Headings Tags, links internos e Meta Tags, entre outros), que são elementos de Search Engine Optimization. Conclusão: Portanto, o uso dessas técnicas contribui para restaurar e representar um ambiente, pois elas fornecem uma certa estrutura e organização, a qual ajuda a obter uma melhor recuperação de documentos.
Mediação implícita da informação no âmbito da Organização e Representação da Informação e do Conhecimento
Authors: Santos Neto João Arlindo dos
Published: October 2023

Objetivo: Investigar as relações conceituais e as tendências de pesquisa da mediação implícita da informação no âmbito da organização e representação da informação e do conhecimento. Metodologia: O artigo é de delineamento bibliográfico e tem como métodos a pesquisa bibliográfica e os estudos métricos da informação, mais especificamente, a bibliometria. Realiza um estudo bibliométrico nas principais fontes de informação: Portal de Periódicos da CAPES, Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, Base de Dados em Ciência da Informação e Google Scholar. Adota como critério de seleção as produções, na literatura científica da Ciência da Informação, que apresentam as temáticas mediação e organização de maneira inter-relacionada e delimitação temporal final até o ano de 2021. Resultados: Foram recuperadas 144 textos e selecionadas 32 produções, sendo a primeira pesquisa publicada há quase 20 anos, a maioria dos textos publicada em anais de eventos e o ano de 2014 incide como aquele com o maior número de publicações. As relações conceituais evidenciam a organização e representação da informação e do conhecimento como instância mediadora implícita da informação. Os textos recuperados revelam como tendência de pesquisa a curadoria digital ou a curadoria de dados como possibilidades de mediação implícita. Conclusões: É necessário discutir e desmistificar cada vez mais a ideia de uma possível neutralidade no fazer do bibliotecário, sobretudo, no âmbito da organização e representação da informação e do conhecimento, pois as dimensões técnicas, cognitivas e filosóficas presentes nesses processos precisam dialogar com as dimensões ética e política da mediação da informação.
